Servicer and the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee).
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
or any Custodian finds any document or documents constituting a part of a
Mortgage File to be missing, mutilated, torn or defaced or does not conform to
the requirements identified above, at the conclusion of its review the Trustee
(or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall so notify the Depositor, the
NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer. In addition, upon the discovery by the
Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer 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
adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the related
Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach
shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.
The Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall, at the
written request and expense of any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner,
provide a written report to such Certificateholder or Certificate Owner, of all
Mortgage Files released to the Master Servicer for servicing purposes.
SECTION2.03. Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans
by the Seller or the Depositor; Payment of
Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts.
(a) Upon discovery or receipt of notice (including notice under Section
2.02) 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 adversely affects the value of such Mortgage
Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, the Trustee shall
promptly notify the Seller, the NIMS Insurer 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 had knowledge or 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 Trustee shall enforce
the obligations of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to
repurchase such Mortgage Loan from REMIC I at the Purchase Price within 90 days
after the date on which the Seller was notified (subject to Section 2.03(d)) 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 (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), upon
receipt of written certification from the Master Servicer of such deposit, shall
release to the Seller the related Mortgage File and 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 I (in which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and
substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and
subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(c). 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 document exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and is
continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such omission, defect or
breach available to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.
(b) (i) Promptly upon 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 2.05, which
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall cure such breach in all material
respects.
(ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.03(b)(i)
above, on the later of (x) the Master Servicer Remittance Date next
following the earlier of discovery by the Master Servicer or receipt of
notice by the Master Servicer of the breach of the covenant made by the
Master Servicer in Section 2.05(viii), which breach materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Holders of the Class P
Certificates to any Prepayment Charge and (y) the Master Servicer
Remittance Date next following the Prepayment Period relating to such a
breach, the Master Servicer shall deposit into the Collection Account,
as a Master Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amount, the amount of
the waived Prepayment Charge.
(c) Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for Deleted
Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a), in the case of the Seller, or
Section 2.03(b), in the case of the Depositor, must be effected prior to the
date which is two years after the Startup Day for REMIC I.
As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller or the Depositor
substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution
shall be effected by the Seller or the Depositor, as the case may be, delivering
to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), for such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the
Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents and agreements, with all
necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by Section 2.01, 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 (or a Custodian on behalf of 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 NIMS Insurer, the Trustee and the Master Servicer, with
respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1, with any applicable
exceptions noted thereon. Within one year of the date of substitution, the
Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall deliver to the
Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer a certification
substantially in the form of Exhibit C-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 I and shall be retained by the
Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be. For the month of substitution,
distributions to Certificateholders shall reflect the Monthly Payment due on
such Deleted Mortgage Loan on or before the Due Date in the month of
substitution, and the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, shall
thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of
such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Depositor shall give or cause to be given
written notice to the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer and the NIMS
Insurer that such substitution has taken place, shall amend the Mortgage Loan
Schedule and, if applicable, the Prepayment Charge Schedule, to reflect the
removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the
substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall
deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee, the Master
Servicer and the NIMS Insurer. 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, in the case of a
substitution effected by the Seller, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement,
including all applicable representations and warranties thereof.
For any month in which the Depositor or the Seller substitutes one or
more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans,
the Master Servicer shall determine the amount (the "Substitution Shortfall
Amount"), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted
Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate of, as to each such Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan, the Scheduled Principal Balance thereof as of the date of
substitution, together with one month's interest on such Scheduled Principal
Balance at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate. On the date of such substitution,
the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, shall 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 cause the Custodian
to release to the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, the related
Mortgage File or Files and the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of 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 Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, shall
obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution shall not cause (a) any
federal tax to be imposed on any Trust REMIC, including without limitation, any
federal tax imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the
Code or on "contributions after the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(1) of
the Code, or (b) any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that
any Certificate is outstanding.
(d) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, 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 Seller or the
Depositor shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section
2.03(c), 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. Such repurchase or
substitution shall be made by the Seller. 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 Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, 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.
SECTION 2.04. [Reserved].

Servicer, enforceable against the Master Servicer in accordance with
its terms, except to the extent that (a) the enforceability thereof may

(iii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
Master Servicer, the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by the Master
Servicer hereunder, the consummation of any other of the transactions
herein contemplated, and the fulfillment of or compliance with the
terms hereof are in the ordinary course of business of the Master
Servicer and will not (A) result in a breach of any term or provision

covenants which materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan,

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 (i) the terms of the respective Mortgage Loans and
any insurance policies related thereto, (ii) all Applicable Regulations, (iii)
the terms of this Agreement and (iv) to the extent consistent with the preceding
requirements, 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 prudent 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 of any Certificate by the Master Servicer
or any Affiliate of the Master Servicer;
(iii) 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 (the "Servicing Standard").
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 6.06, to do or cause to be done any and all things in
connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or
desirable. 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, in accordance with the servicing standards set forth
above, (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the
Trustee, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial
or full release or discharge, or of forbearance, or of modification and all
other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the
Mortgaged Properties, (ii) to institute foreclosure proceedings or obtain a
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure to convert the ownership of such properties, and to
hold or cause to be held title to such properties, in the name of the Trust
Fund, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, (iii) to market, sell
and transfer title of REO Properties held in the name of the Trust Fund to third
party purchasers upon terms and conditions the Master Servicer deems reasonable
under the Servicing Standard, (iv) to bring or respond to civil actions or
complaints (in its own name or that of the Trust Fund or the Trustee on behalf
of the Trust Fund) related to any Mortgage Loan, Mortgaged Property or REO
Property held by the Trust Fund and (v) to execute any other document necessary
or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to carry out its servicing and
administrative duties hereunder consistent with the Servicing Standard.
At the written request of the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall
execute and furnish to the Master Servicer such documents as are necessary or
appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to carry out its servicing and
administrative duties hereunder. By execution of this Agreement, the Trustee, on
behalf of the Trust Fund, hereby grants to the Master Servicer a power of
attorney to execute any and all documents necessary to carry out any and all
servicing duties described in this Agreement (including the taking of and
transferring title of REO Properties to third parties held in the name of the
Trustee for the benefit of the Trust) and expressly confirms that this paragraph
along with the face page and a copy of the signature page (duly executed) to
this Agreement shall constitute the power of attorney for evidentiary and/or
recording purposes. 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 3.04(d) hereof, in accordance with the Servicing
Standard, 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 related collections from the
Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.04(d), and further as provided in Section
3.05(a). 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 Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan,
notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit.
Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer may
waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the
postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant
indulgence to any Mortgagor if such waiver, modification, postponement or
indulgence is in conformity with the Servicing Standard; provided, however,
that:
(A) the Master Servicer shall not make future advances (except
as provided in Section 4.03);
(B) the Master Servicer shall not permit any modification with
respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Rate, defer
or forgive the payment of any principal or interest payments, reduce
the outstanding Stated Principal Balance (except for reductions
resulting from actual payments of principal) or extend the final
maturity date on such Mortgage Loan (unless as provided in Section
3.02, (i) the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan
or (ii) such default is, in the judgment of the Master Servicer,
reasonably foreseeable); and
(C) the Master Servicer shall not consent to (i) partial
releases of Mortgages, (ii) alterations, (iii) removal, demolition or
division of properties subject to Mortgages, (iv) modification or (v)
second mortgage subordination agreements with respect to any Mortgage
Loan that would: (i) affect adversely the status of any Trust REMIC as
a REMIC, (ii) cause any Trust REMIC to be subject to a tax on
"prohibited transactions" or "contributions" pursuant to the REMIC
Provisions, or (iii) both (x) effect an exchange or reissuance of such
Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or Treasury regulations
promulgated thereunder) and (y) cause any Trust REMIC constituting part
of the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the
imposition of any tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions"
after the Startup Day under the REMIC Provisions.
To the extent consistent with the terms of this Agreement, including
Section 2.03 and Section 2.05, the Master Servicer may waive (or permit a
Sub-Servicer to waive) a Prepayment Charge only under the following
circumstances: (i) such waiver is standard and customary in servicing similar
Mortgage Loans and (ii) such waiver relates to a default or a reasonably
foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the Master
Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of
such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan.
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.
All references to Master Servicer in this Agreement shall be deemed to include
any Sub-Servicer duly appointed by the Master Servicer pursuant to this
Agreement.
SECTION 3.02. 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, penalty interest, (ii) waive any provision of
any Mortgage Loan requiring the related Mortgagor to submit to mandatory
arbitration with respect to disputes arising thereunder or (iii) 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 clause (iii)
above shall not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for
purposes of any computation hereunder. 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. In the event
of any such arrangement pursuant to clause (iii) above, the Master Servicer
shall make timely advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant
to Section 4.03 and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such
Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements.
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 Servicing
Standard, 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, or
consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise
grant indulgence to any Mortgagor (any and all such waivers, modifications,
variances, forgiveness of principal or interest, postponements, or indulgences
collectively referred to herein as "forbearance"). The Master Servicer's
analysis supporting any forbearance and the conclusion that any forbearance
meets the standards of Section 3.01 shall be reflected in writing in the
Mortgage File.
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 and
any successor master servicer in respect of any such liability. Such indemnities
shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement.
SECTION 3.03. [Reserved].

assumption fees, insufficient funds charges, modification fees and other
ancillary fees (but not Prepayment Charges) need not be deposited by the Master

in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

Trustee shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the Distribution Account all
payments of any nature received from the Master Servicer in accordance with this
Agreement. The Trustee shall deposit in the Distribution Account any amounts

the Master Servicer, a trustee in bankruptcy, or 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.
(g) MASTER SERVICER TRANSFER OF FUNDS TO THE DISTRIBUTION ACCOUNT. On
behalf of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee in

(x) to reimburse the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer (if the
Master Servicer is not an Affiliate of the Seller) 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;
(xi) to pay to the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the
Seller, as the case may be, with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has
previously been purchased or replaced pursuant to Section 2.03 or
Section 3.16(a) all amounts received thereon subsequent to the date of
purchase or substitution, as the case may be;
(xii) to transfer funds in the Collection Account maintained
at a particular depository to the Collection Account maintained at a
different depository, pursuant to Section 3.04(i); and
(xiii) to clear and terminate the Collection Account upon the
termination of this Agreement.
The foregoing requirements for withdrawal from the Collection Account
shall be exclusive. 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.
The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a

represent late payments or Late Collections of Escrow Payments
thereunder;
(iii) to refund to the Mortgagor any funds as may be
determined to be overages;
(iv) for transfer to the Collection Account in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement;
(v) for application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged
Property;

In the event the Master Servicer shall deposit in an Escrow Account any

amount from such Escrow Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. As part of its servicing duties, the Master Servicer shall pay
to the Mortgagor interest on funds in the Escrow Account, to the extent required
by the related Mortgage Loan or Applicable Regulations, and to the extent that
interest earned on funds in the Escrow Account is insufficient, shall pay such
interest from its own funds, without any reimbursement therefor. The Master
Servicer may pay to itself any excess interest on funds in the Escrow Account,
to the extent such action is in conformity with the Servicing Standard, is
permitted by law and such amounts are not required to be paid to Mortgagors or
used for any of the other purposes set forth above.

distributions in accordance with Section 3.05(c)(i) is not due to
insufficient funds in the Distribution Account); and
(viii) to clear and terminate the Distribution Account
pursuant to Section 9.01.
SECTION 3.06. Investment of Funds in the Collection Account, the
Escrow Account, the REO Account and the Distribution
Account.
(a) The Master Servicer may direct any depository institution
maintaining the Collection Account, the Escrow Account (subject to Section
3.05(b)), and the REO Account and the Trustee may direct any depository
institution maintaining the Distribution Account (for purposes of this Section
3.06, each 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 Investment 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, the Escrow Account, and the
REO Account) over each such investment and (except with respect to the income on
funds held in the Collection Account, the Escrow Account and the REO Account)
the income thereon, 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:
(i) 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
(ii) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly
upon determination 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 in the nature of interest from the investment of funds
in the Collection Account, the Escrow Account (subject to Section 3.05(b)) and
the REO Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer as compensation
for the Master Servicer's services pursuant to this Agreement. The Master
Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account, the Escrow Account, and the
REO Account , as applicable, from its own funds the amount of any loss incurred
in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such account
immediately upon realization of such loss.
(c) All income in the nature of interest or earnings from the
investment of funds in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the
Trustee as compensation for the Trustee's services pursuant to this Agreement.
The Trustee shall deposit in the Distribution Account from its own funds the
amount of any loss incurred on Permitted Investments in the Distribution
Account.
(d) Funds on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account may
be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with Section 4.11 and any
investment earnings or interest paid shall accrue to the benefit of the party
designated in such section and the party so designated shall deposit in the
related account from its own funds the amount of any loss incurred on Permitted
Investments in such account.
(e) 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(a)(v),
upon the request of the NIMS Insurer or 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.
(f) The Trustee or its Affiliates are permitted to receive compensation
that could be deemed to be in the Trustee's economic self-interest for (i)
serving as investment adviser, administrator, shareholder, servicing agent,
custodian or sub-custodian with respect to certain of the Permitted Investments,
(ii) using Affiliates to effect transactions in certain Permitted Investments
and (iii) effecting transactions in certain Permitted Investments. Such
compensation shall not be considered an amount that is reimbursable or payable
pursuant to Section 3.05.
SECTION 3.07. Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges.
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall maintain
accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments,
water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged
Property and the status of fire and hazard insurance coverage and, as to those
Mortgage Loans subject to a voluntary escrow agreement, shall obtain, from time
to time, all bills for the payment of such charges (including renewal premiums)
and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination
date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable,
employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which
shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Master Servicer in amounts
sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or
Applicable Regulations. The Master Servicer assumes full responsibility for the
timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all such
bills irrespective of the Mortgagor's faithful performance in the payment of
same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make Servicing Advances from
its own funds to effect such payments. To the extent that the Mortgage does not
provide for Escrow Payments, the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts
consistent with the Servicing Standard to determine that any such payments are
made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due and shall ensure that
the Mortgaged Property is not lost to a tax lien as a result of nonpayment and
that such Mortgaged Property is not left uninsured.
SECTION 3.08. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.
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 current Stated 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 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 Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan,
plus accrued interest at the Mortgage Rate and related Servicing Advances (each
measured at the time it became an REO Property). The Master Servicer shall
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 3.05, if received in respect of a Mortgage Loan,
or in the REO Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.13, 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 Stated 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, the Master
Servicer shall 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 Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan; (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); and (iii) the
maximum insurable value of the improvements which are part of the related
Mortgaged Property.
SECTION 3.09. Maintenance of Mortgage Blanket Insurance.
In the event that the Master Servicer shall obtain and maintain a
blanket policy with an insurer having a General Policy Rating of "A:V" 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 Section 3.08, 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
Section 3.08, 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 the Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket
policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.
SECTION 3.10. Fidelity Bond; Errors and Omissions Insurance.
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 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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac if it were the purchaser of
the Mortgage Loans, unless the Master Servicer has obtained a waiver of such
requirements from ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac. The Master Servicer shall also
maintain a fidelity bond in the form and amount that would meet the requirements
of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac, unless the Master Servicer has obtained a waiver
of such requirements from ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac. The Master Servicer shall
provide the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer (upon 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 policy of insurance covering errors and omissions and
a fidelity bond which would meet such requirements.
SECTION 3.11. 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 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 is authorized to 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 is also authorized to enter into a
substitution of liability agreement with such person, pursuant to which the
original Mortgagor is released from liability and such person is substituted as
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. In connection with any assumption 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 in 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 collected by the Master
Servicer in respect of an assumption or substitution of liability agreement
shall 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 or otherwise permitted under Section 3.01. The
Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee and any respective Custodian that any
such substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to
the Trustee or to such Custodian, as the case may be, 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 3.11, 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 3.12. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Master Servicer shall, consistent with the Servicing Standard,
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 3.02. 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 shall be recoverable as Servicing Advances
by the Master Servicer as contemplated in Section 3.05 and Section 3.13. The
foregoing is subject to the provision that: (i) 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 discretion that such restoration shall
increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after
reimbursement to itself for such expenses and (ii) with respect to any second
lien Mortgage Loan, if, after such Mortgage Loan becomes 180 days or more
delinquent and the Master Servicer, after making a Final Recovery Determination,
determines that a net recovery that would eliminate or reduce a Realized Loss by
more than an immaterial amount is not possible through foreclosure, such
Mortgage Loan may be charged off and such Mortgage Loan shall be treated as a
Liquidated Mortgage Loan giving rise to a Realized Loss.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.12 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 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
a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry
standards, that:
(i) such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable
environmental laws or, if not, that it would be in the best economic
interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to
bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance therewith; and
(ii) there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged
Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous
substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based
materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment,
clean-up or remediation could be required under any federal, state or
local law or regulation, or that if any such materials are present for
which such action could be required, that it would be in the best
economic interest of the 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 actual knowledge or notice, that such Mortgaged
Property contains such toxic or hazardous 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.
The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section
3.12 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 3.05(a)(v), 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.
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; provided, however, that the Master Servicer
shall not proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of
foreclosure if the estimated costs of the environmental clean up, as estimated
in the environmental audit report, together with the Advances made by the Master
Servicer and the estimated costs of foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu
of foreclosure exceeds the estimated value of the Mortgaged Property. 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 3.05(a)(v), 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.
(c) Proceeds received in connection with any Final Recovery
Determination, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of
Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries or Liquidation Proceeds, in respect of
any Mortgage Loan, shall 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 3.05(a)(ii);
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 shall 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
3.05(a)(ii).
SECTION 3.13. 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. Pursuant to the power of attorney granted in Section 3.01,
the Master Servicer is hereby authorized to transfer the title of any REO
Property taken in the name of the Trustee to a third party purchaser pursuant to
this Section 3.13 without further documentation of its authority as
attorney-in-fact for the Trustee on behalf of the Trust. The Master Servicer, on
behalf of the Trust Fund (and on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders), shall either sell any REO Property before the close of the
third taxable year after the year the Trust Fund 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 Trustee,
the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the
Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor, to the effect that the holding by
the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to three years after its
acquisition shall 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. The Master Servicer shall manage,
conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the benefit of the
Certificateholders and 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
with respect to REO Properties an account held in trust for the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders (the "REO Account"), which shall be an
Eligible Account. The Master Servicer shall be permitted to allow the Collection
Account to serve as the REO Account, subject to separate ledgers for each REO
Property. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to 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 and appropriate to effect the prompt disposition and sale of
the REO Property. 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 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 in the Master Servicer's judgment, the payment of
such amounts shall be recoverable from the rental or sale of the REO Property.
Notwithstanding the Master Servicer's obligation to the
Certificateholders to manage and operate (including the collection of rents from
existing tenants and management of any leases acquired with the REO property to
the extent applicable) the REO Property from the date of acquisition until the
date of sale, neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall knowingly:
(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 shall 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 shall constitute Rents from Real
Property;
(iii) authorize any construction on any REO Property, other
than the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and
then only if more than ten percent of the construction of such building
or other improvement was completed before default on the related
Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Section
856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or
(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, provided to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, to the effect that such
action shall 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 the Trust Fund, and (B) the Master Servicer has received written
notice from the Trustee that it has received written consent from the NIMS
Insurer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) that the specific
action may be taken.
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 3.13(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. The Master Servicer shall not engage an Independent Contractor to
engage in any activities that the Master Servicer would not be permitted to
engage in itself in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement.
(d) In addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section 3.13(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 3.04(g)(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
3.13(c) or this Section 3.13(d).
(e) Subject to the time constraints set forth in Section 3.13(a)
(including the constraint that the Master Servicer hold and manage each REO
Property "solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition") each REO
disposition shall be carried out by the Master Servicer at such price and upon
such terms and conditions 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 3.04(g)(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).
SECTION 3.14. [Reserved].
SECTION 3.15. Reports of Foreclosure and Abandonment of Mortgaged
Properties.
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.
SECTION 3.16. Optional Purchase of Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
The NIMS Insurer or the Master Servicer may, at its option, purchase a
Mortgage Loan which has become 90 or more days delinquent or for which the
Master Servicer has accepted a deed in lieu of foreclosure. Prior to purchase
pursuant to this Section 3.16, the Master Servicer shall be required to continue
to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.03. Neither the NIMS Insurer nor the
Master Servicer shall use any procedure in selecting Mortgage Loans to be
repurchased which is materially adverse to the interests of the
Certificateholders. The NIMS Insurer or the Master Servicer, as applicable,
shall purchase such delinquent Mortgage Loan at a price equal to the Purchase
Price of such Mortgage Loan. Any such purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to
this Section 3.16 shall be accomplished by remittance to the Master Servicer for
deposit in the Collection Account of the amount of the Purchase Price. The
Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall immediately effectuate
the conveyance of such delinquent Mortgage Loan to the NIMS Insurer or the
Master Servicer, as applicable, to the extent necessary, as requested, and the
Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall promptly deliver all
documentation to the NIMS Insurer or the Master Servicer as applicable, and as
shall be necessary to vest in the Master Servicer title to any Mortgage Loan or
related REO Property released pursuant hereto.
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 shall promptly notify
the Trustee and any related Custodian by a certification in the form of Exhibit
E or such other form supplied by the Master Servicer provided that it does not
differ from the substantive content of Exhibit E (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 3.04(b) have been or shall be so
deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the
Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Trustee or
such Custodian, as the case may be, shall promptly release (and in no event more
than three (3) Business Days thereafter) 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 and any related
Custodian shall, upon request of the Master Servicer and delivery to the Trustee
or such Custodian, as the case may be, of a Request for Release in the form of
Exhibit E or such other form supplied by the Master Servicer provided that it
does not differ from the substantive content of Exhibit E, 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 or to such Custodian
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 Officer 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 Officer 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, upon request, a copy of the
Request for Release shall be released by the Trustee or such Custodian to the
Master Servicer.
(c) Upon written certification of a Servicing Officer, 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. Each such certification shall include a request that such pleadings or
documents be executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the reason such
documents or pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof
by the Trustee shall not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the
Mortgage, except for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the
foreclosure or trustee's sale.
(d) The Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) and the
Master Servicer may mutually agree on policies and procedures (commercially
reasonable in nature) to allow the submission of any and all requests for the
release of a Mortgage File electronically with a digital signature or other
identifier to designate the Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer requesting
such collateral.
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 payments of interest in respect of such
Mortgage Loan, subject to Section 4.03(e). In addition, the Master Servicer
shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees out of Insurance Proceeds,
Subsequent Recoveries or Liquidation Proceeds to the extent permitted by Section
3.05(a)(ii), out of general funds in the Collection Account to the extent
permitted by Section 3.05(a) and out of amounts derived from the operation and
sale of an REO Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.13. 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.
Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late
payment charges, insufficient funds fees, reconveyance fees and other similar
fees and charges (other than Prepayment Charges) shall be retained by the Master
Servicer only to the extent such amounts, fees or charges are received by the
Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall also be entitled pursuant to Section
3.05(a)(vi) to withdraw from the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 3.04(h)
to withdraw from any Escrow Account and pursuant to Section 3.13(b) to withdraw
from any REO Account, as additional servicing compensation, interest or other
income earned on deposits therein, subject to Section 3.06. 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 3.08, Section 3.09 and Section 3.10, to the extent such premiums are not
paid by the related Mortgagors or by a Sub-Servicer, servicing compensation of
each Sub-Servicer, and to the extent provided 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. Statement as to Compliance.
The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the
Depositor and each Rating Agency on or before March 15th of each calendar year
commencing in 2007, an Officers' Certificate ("Annual Statement of Compliance")
in a form similar to Exhibit M attached hereto agreeable to the parties hereto,
stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of
the Master Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of performance under
this Agreement or other applicable servicing 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 or other applicable servicing agreement in all material respects
throughout such year, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such
obligation in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to such
officer and the nature and status of cure provisions 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. Such Annual
Statement of Compliance shall contain no restrictions or limitations on its use.
In the event that the Master Servicer has delegated any servicing
responsibilities with respect to the Mortgage Loans serviced by it to a
Sub-Servicer, the Master Servicer shall deliver an officer's certificate of the
Sub-Servicer as described above as to each Sub-Servicer as and when required
with respect to the Master Servicer.
If the Master Servicer cannot deliver the Annual Statement of
Compliance by March 15th of such year, the Trustee, at its sole option, may
permit a cure period for the related Servicer to deliver such Annual Statement
of Compliance, but in no event later than March 30th of such year.
Failure of the Master Servicer to timely comply with this Section 3.20
shall be deemed an Master Servicer Event of Termination, automatically, without
notice and without any cure period, and the Trustee may, in addition to whatever
rights the Trustee may have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to
damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the
rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to
the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Master
Servicer for the same. This paragraph shall supersede any other provision in
this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.
SECTION 3.20. Assessments of Compliance and Attestation Reports.
On and after January 1, 2006, each of the Master Servicer and the
Trustee shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with all
applicable requirements of the Servicing Criteria (as set forth in Exhibit
[__]). Each of the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall deliver to the
Depositor (and, in the case of the Master Servicer, the Trustee) on or before
March 15th of each calendar year beginning in 2007, a report (an "Assessment of
Compliance") reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor regarding the Master
Servicer's and Trustee's assessment of compliance with the applicable Servicing
Criteria during the preceding calendar year as required by Rules 13a-18 and
15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB, which as of the date
hereof, require a report by an authorized officer of the Master Servicer or the
Trustee that contains the following:
(a) A statement by such officer of its responsibility for assessing
compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to the Master Servicer or the
Trustee;
(b) A statement by such officer that such officer used the Servicing
Criteria to assess compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to the
Master Servicer or the Trustee;
(c) An assessment by such officer of the Master Servicer's or Trustee's
compliance with the applicable Servicing Criteria for the period consisting of
the preceding calendar year, including disclosure of any material instance of
noncompliance with respect thereto during such period, which assessment shall be
based on the activities it performs with respect to asset-backed securities
transactions taken as a whole involving the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable, that are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage Loans;
(d) A statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an
attestation report on the Master Servicer's or Trustee's Assessment of
Compliance for the period consisting of the preceding calendar year; and
(e) A statement as to which of the Servicing Criteria, if any, are not
applicable to the Master Servicer or Trustee, which statement shall be based on
the activities it performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions
taken as a whole involving the Master Servicer or Trustee, that are backed by
the same asset type as the Mortgage Loans.
Such report at a minimum shall address each of the Servicing Criteria
specified on a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit [___] hereto
delivered to the Depositor (and, in the case of the Master Servicer, the
Trustee) concurrently with the execution of this Agreement.
On or before March 15th of each calendar year beginning in 2007, each
of the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall furnish to the Depositor (and, in
the case of the Master Servicer, the Trustee) a report (an "Attestation Report")
by a registered public accounting firm that attests to, and reports on, the
Assessment of Compliance made by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable, as required by Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item
1122(b) of Regulation AB, which Attestation Report must be made in accordance
with standards for attestation reports issued or adopted by the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board.
Each of the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall cause any servicer,
and each subcontractor determined by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable, to be "participating in the servicing function" within the meaning
of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, to deliver to the Depositor (and, in the case of
the Master Servicer, the Trustee) an assessment of compliance and accountants'
attestation.
If the Master Servicer or the Trustee cannot deliver the related
Assessment of Compliance or Attestation Report by March 15th of such year, the
Depositor, at its sole option, may permit a cure period for the Master Servicer
or the Trustee, as applicable, to deliver such Assessment of Compliance or
Attestation Report, but in no event later than March 30th of such year.
Failure of the Master Servicer to timely comply with this Section 3.21
shall be deemed a Master Servicer Event of Termination, automatically, without
notice and without any cure period, and the Trustee may, in addition to whatever
rights the Trustee may have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to
damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the
rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to
the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Master
Servicer for the same. This paragraph shall supersede any other provision in
this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.
SECTION 3.21. Access to Certain Documentation.
The Master Servicer shall provide to the Office of Thrift Supervision,
the FDIC, and any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory
authority that may exercise authority over any Certificateholder or Certificate
Owner, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans 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 shall be provided to any
Certificateholder or Certificate Owner, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer 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. In each case, access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage
Loans may be conditioned upon the requesting party's acknowledgment in writing
of a confidentiality agreement regarding any information that is required to
remain confidential under the ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 1999.
SECTION 3.22. [Reserved].
SECTION 3.23. Advance Facility.
(a) The Master Servicer and/or the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund,
in either case, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer in
the case of the Trustee, is hereby authorized to enter into a facility (an
"Advance Facility") with any Person (an "Advancing Person") (1) under which the
Master Servicer sells, assigns or pledges to the Advancing person the Master
Servicer's rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for any Advances and/or
Servicing Advances or (2) which provides that the Advancing Person may fund
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. If the Master
Servicer enters into such an Advance Facility pursuant to this Section 3.23,
upon reasonable request of the Advancing Person, the Trustee shall execute a
letter of acknowledgment, confirming its receipt of notice of the existence of
such Advance Facility. To the extent that an Advancing Person funds any Advance
or any Servicing Advance or is assigned the right to be reimbursed for any
Advance or Servicing Advance and provides the Trustee with notice acknowledged
by the Master Servicer that such Advancing Person is entitled to reimbursement
directly from the Trustee pursuant to the terms of the Advance Facility, such
Advancing Person shall be entitled to receive reimbursement pursuant to this
Agreement for such amount to the extent provided in Section 3.23(b). Such notice
from the Advancing Person must specify the amount of the reimbursement, the
Section of this Agreement that permits the applicable Advance or Servicing
Advance to be reimbursed and the section(s) of the Advance Facility that entitle
the Advancing Person to request reimbursement from the Trustee, rather than the
Master Servicer, and include the Master Servicer's acknowledgment thereto or
proof of an Event of Default under the Advance Facility. The Trustee shall have
no duty or liability with respect to any calculation of any reimbursement to be
paid to an Advancing Person and shall be entitled to rely without independent
investigation on the Advancing Person's notice provided pursuant to this Section
3.23. An Advancing Person whose obligations hereunder are limited to the funding
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 shall 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 to the
Trust Fund's entering such facility.
(b) If, pursuant to the terms of the Advance Facility, an Advancing
Person is entitled to reimbursement directly from the Trustee, then the Master
Servicer shall not reimburse itself therefor under Section 3.05(a)(ii), Section
3.05(a)(iii) or Section 3.05(a)(v) 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 3.04(g) to the extent of
amounts on deposit in the Collection Account on the related Master Servicer
Remittance Date. The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay to the Advancing Person
reimbursements for Advances and Servicing Advances from the Distribution
Account, to the extent permitted under the terms of the Advance Facility, to the
same extent the Master Servicer would have been permitted to reimburse itself
for such Advances and/or Servicing Advances in accordance with Section
3.05(a)(ii), Section 3.05(a)(iii) or Section 3.05(a)(v), as the case may be, had
the Master Servicer itself funded 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 Advance Facility agree to in writing
delivered to the Trustee. An Advance Facility may provide that the Master
Servicer will otherwise cause the remittance of Advance and/or Servicing Advance
reimbursement amounts to the Advancing Person, in which case the foregoing
sentences in this Section 3.23(b) shall not apply.
(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.
(d) In the event the Master Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section
7.01, the Advancing Person shall succeed to the terminated Master Servicer's
right of reimbursement set forth in Section 7.02(c) to the extent of such
Advancing Person's financing of or receipt of assignment or pledge of the right
to be reimbursed for Advances or Servicing Advances hereunder then remaining
unreimbursed.
(e) None of the Trust Fund, any party to this Agreement or any other
Person shall have any right or claim (including without limitation any right of
offset or recoupment) to any amounts allocable under this Agreement to the
reimbursement of Advances or Servicing Advances that have been assigned,
conveyed or pledged to an Advancing Person, or that relate to Advances or
Servicing Advances that were funded by an Advancing Person.
(f) Any amendment to this Section 3.23 or to any other provision of
this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an
Advance Facility as described generally in this Section 3.23, including
amendments to add provisions relating to a successor master servicer, may be
entered into by the Trustee and the Master Servicer without the consent of any
Certificateholder but with the consent of the NIMS Insurer and written
confirmation from each Rating Agency that the amendment shall not result in the
reduction or withdrawal of the then-current ratings of any outstanding Class of
Certificates or any other notes secured by collateral which includes all or a
portion of the Class CE Certificates, the Class P Certificates and/or the
Residual Certificates, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement.

(vi) to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates, (a) the
Interest Distribution Amount and any Overcollateralization Reduction
Amount for such Distribution Date and (b) on any Distribution Date on
which the Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A Certificates
and the Mezzanine Certificates have been reduced to zero, any remaining
amounts in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class
CE Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has
been reduced to zero; and
(vii) to the Holders of the Class R Certificates, any
remaining amounts; provided that if such Distribution Date is the
Distribution Date immediately following the expiration of the latest
Prepayment Charge term as identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule or
any Distribution Date thereafter, then any such remaining amounts shall
be distributed first, to the Holders of the Class P Certificates, until
the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and
second, to the Holders of the Class R Certificates.
(5) With respect to the Group II Certificates, all principal
distributions will be distributed sequentially, to the Class A-2A, Class A-2B,
Class A-2C and Class A-2D Certificates, in that order, until their respective
Certificate Principal Balances have been reduced to zero.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the aggregate Certificate Principal
Balance of the Group II Certificates exceeds the aggregate principal balance of
the Group II Mortgage Loans, principal distributions to the classes of Group II
Certificates will be allocated concurrently, on a pro rata basis.
On each Distribution Date, following the foregoing distributions, an
amount equal to the amount of Subsequent Recoveries deposited into the
Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 and included in the Available Funds
for such Distribution Date shall be applied to increase the Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates with the Highest Priority up to
the extent of such Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of
Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04. An amount equal to the amount of any
remaining Subsequent Recoveries shall be applied to increase the Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates with the next Highest Priority,
up to the amount of such Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of
Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04, and so on. Holders of such Certificates
shall not be entitled to any distribution in respect of interest on the amount
of such increases for any Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution
Date on which such increase occurs. Any such increases shall be applied to the
Certificate Principal Balance of each Certificate of such Class in accordance
with its respective Percentage Interest.
(c) On each Distribution Date, after making the distributions of the
Available Funds as set forth above, the Trustee shall FIRST, withdraw from the
Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account all net income from the investment of
funds in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account and distribute such amount

Servicer pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(ii) to the extent not related to Principal
Prepayments occurring after the related Prepayment Period, and the Trustee shall
distribute such amounts to the Holders of the Class P Certificates. Such
distributions shall not be applied to reduce the Certificate Principal Balance
of the Class P Certificates.
(d) All distributions made with respect to each Class of Certificates
on each Distribution Date shall be allocated PRO RATA among the outstanding
Certificates in such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests.
Payments in respect of each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date
shall be made to the Holders of the respective Class of record on the related
Record Date (except as otherwise provided in Section 4.01(g) 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, or
otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of such Holder
appearing in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each
Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and
surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trustee maintained for such
purpose pursuant to Section 8.12 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, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be
responsible for crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its
Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each
Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to
the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating
brokerage firm (a "brokerage firm" or "indirect participating firm") for which
it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds
to the Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar, the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall have any
responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by this Agreement or
applicable law.
(e) 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. Neither the Holders of
any Class of Certificates nor the Trustee nor 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.

definition of "Overcollateralization Increase Amount") and (y) the amount
distributed pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(4)(i) of this Agreement; and

Loss Amount related to such Certificates for such Distribution Date remaining
undistributed after distribution of the Net Monthly Excess Cashflow.
(g) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the Trustee
expects that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates
shall be made on the next Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, no later than
five (5) days after the related Determination Date, mail to 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 shall be made on such
Distribution Date, but only upon presentation and surrender of such
Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein specified or its
agent; and
(ii) no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and
after the end of the related Interest Accrual Period.
Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of
such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or
Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held
in trust by the 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(g) 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 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 the Underwriters all remaining 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 4.01(g).
(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 4.04 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 and (ii) in no event shall the Uncertificated
Balance of a REMIC Regular Interest be reduced more than once in respect of any
particular amount both (a) allocated to such REMIC Regular Interest in respect
of Realized Losses pursuant to Section 4.04 and (b) distributed on such REMIC
Regular Interest in reduction of the Uncertificated Balance thereof pursuant to
this Section 4.01.
(i) It is the intention of all of the parties hereto that the Class CE
Certificates receive all principal and interest received by the Trust on the
Mortgage Loans that is not otherwise distributable to any other Class of Regular
Certificates or REMIC Regular Interests. If the Trustee determines that the
Residual Certificates are entitled to any distributions, the Trustee, prior to
any such distribution to any Residual Certificate, shall notify the Depositor of
such impending distribution. Upon such notification, the Depositor will request
an amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to revise such mistake in
the distribution provisions. The Residual Certificate Holders, by their
acceptance of their Certificates, and the Master Servicer hereby agree and no
further consent shall be necessary (other than the consent of the NIMS Insurer),
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.01 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.

statement prepared by the Master Servicer setting forth the status of the
Collection Account as of the close of business of any prior Distribution Date,
showing, for the period covered by such statement information regarding the
Collection Account that is mutually agreed upon by the Master Servicer and the

statement is delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trustee.
(b) The amount of Advances to be made by the Master Servicer for any
Distribution Date shall equal, subject to Section 4.03(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, which Monthly Payments were delinquent as of the close of
business on the related Determination Date and (ii) with respect to each REO
Property, which REO Property was acquired during or prior to the related
Prepayment Period and as to which such REO Property an REO Disposition did not

related Servicing Fee) that would have been due on the related Due Date in
respect of the related Mortgage Loans, over the net income from such REO
Property transferred to the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.13 for
distribution on such Distribution Date.
On or before 1:00 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

distribution (in which case, it shall cause to be made an appropriate entry in
the records of the Collection Account that amounts held for future distribution
have been, as permitted by this Section 4.03, 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 used by the Master Servicer to make an Advance as
permitted in the preceding sentence or withdrawn by the Master Servicer as
permitted in Section 3.05(a)(vii) in reimbursement of Advances previously made
shall be appropriately reflected in the Master Servicer's records 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 shall provide
notice to the Master Servicer, Ameriquest Mortgage Company and the NIMS Insurer
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.
(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 or REO Property, shall
continue until a Final Recovery Determination in connection therewith or the
removal thereof from REMIC I pursuant to any applicable provision of this
Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Section.
(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 or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The determination by the Master
Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or a Nonrecoverable Servicing
Advance or that any proposed Advance or Servicing Advance, if made, would
constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance,
respectively, shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate of the Master
Servicer delivered to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer.
(e) The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit into
the Distribution Account on or before 1:00 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 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. The Master Servicer
shall not have the right to reimbursement for any amounts remitted to the
Trustee in respect of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls. Such amounts so remitted
shall be included in the Available Funds and distributed therewith on the next
Distribution Date. The Master Servicer shall not be obligated to pay any amounts
with respect to Relief Act Interest Shortfalls.
(f) At the request of a Holder of a Class CE, Class P or Residual
Certificate, the Master Servicer shall forward to such Holder any statements or
reports provided to the Trustee by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section
4.03 and other loan level information relating to the Mortgage Loans as
reasonably requested by such Holder, provided, that such requesting Holder (i)
is not an Underwriter or an Affiliate of an Underwriter (as certified by such
requesting Holder), (ii) enters into an agreement with the Master Servicer, at
the satisfaction of the Master Servicer, regarding certain procedures with
respect to the release of such information and (iii) agrees to cover all

SECTION 4.04. Allocation of Realized Losses.
(a) On or before 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. On or before each Determination Date, the Master
Servicer shall also determine as to each Mortgage Loan: (A) the total amount of
Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any Deficient Valuations
made during the related Prepayment Period; and (B) 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 Trustee by the
Master Servicer on the Master Servicer Reporting Date immediately following the
end of (x) in the case of Bankruptcy Losses allocable to interest, the Due
Period during which any such Realized Loss was incurred, and (y) in the case of
all other Realized Losses, the Prepayment Period during which any such Realized
Loss was incurred.
(b) All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the
Trustee on each Distribution Date as follows: FIRST, in reduction of interest
accrued on and otherwise distributable to the Class CE Certificates to the
extent of Net Monthly Excess Cashflow used to pay principal on the Class A
Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates under clause (i) of Section 4.01
hereof; SECOND, in reduction of interest accrued on and otherwise distributable
to the Class CE Certificates to the extent of Net Monthly Excess Cashflow
available for distribution pursuant to clauses (ii) through (vi) of Section
4.01(a)(4) hereof; and THIRD, in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance
of the Class CE Certificates (determined after taking into account all
distributions made on the Certificates on such Distribution Date), until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero. If on any
Distribution Date, after all distributions are made by the Trustee pursuant to
Section 4.01 hereof, the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A
Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class P Certificates exceeds
the sum of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the last day
of the related Due Period (after taking into account prepayments during the
related Prepayment Period), the amount of such excess shall be allocated,
sequentially, to the Class M-10, Class M-9, Class M-8, Class M-7, Class M-6,
Class M-5, Class M-4, Class M-3, Class M-2 and Class M-1 Certificates, in that
order, in each case until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been
reduced to zero. All Realized Losses to be allocated to the Certificate
Principal Balances of all Classes on any Distribution Date shall be so allocated
after the actual distributions to be made on such date as provided above.
Any such allocation to a Class of Mezzanine Certificates on any
Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance
thereof (after the actual distributions to be made on such Distribution Date
pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof) by the amount so allocated; any allocation of
Realized Losses to a Class CE Certificate shall be made by reducing the amount
otherwise payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(4)(v). No
allocations of any Realized Losses shall be made to the Certificate Principal
Balances of the Class A Certificates or the Class P Certificates.
As used herein, an allocation of a Realized Loss on a "PRO RATA basis"
among two or more specified Classes of Certificates means an allocation on a PRO
RATA basis, among the various Classes so specified, to each such Class of
Certificates on the basis of their then outstanding Certificate Principal
Balances prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution
Date. All Realized Losses and all other losses allocated to a Class of
Certificates hereunder shall be allocated among the Certificates of such Class
in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby.
(c)(i) All Realized Losses on the Group I Loans shall be allocated on
each Distribution Date first, to REMIC I Regular Interest I until the
Uncertificated Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest has been reduced to zero
and second, to REMIC I Regular Interest I-1-A through REMIC I Regular Interest
I-52-B, starting with the lowest numerical denomination until such REMIC I
Regular Interest has been reduced to zero, provided that, for REMIC I Regular
Interests with the same numerical denomination, such Realized Losses shall be
allocated PRO RATA between such REMIC I Regular Interests. All Realized Losses
on the Group II Loans shall be allocated on each Distribution Date first, to
REMIC I Regular Interest II until the Uncertificated Balance of such REMIC I
Regular Interest has been reduced to zero and second, to REMIC I Regular
Interest II-1-A through REMIC I Regular Interest II-52-B, starting with the
lowest numerical denomination until such REMIC I Regular Interest has been
reduced to zero, provided that, for REMIC I Regular Interests with the same
numerical denomination, such Realized Losses shall be allocated PRO RATA between
such REMIC I Regular Interests.
(c)(ii) The REMIC II Marker Allocation Percentage of all Realized
Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Trustee on each
Distribution Date to the following REMIC II Regular Interests in the specified
percentages, as follows: first, to Uncertificated Interest payable to the REMIC
II Regular Interest II-LTAA and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ up to an
aggregate amount equal to the REMIC II Interest Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and
2%, respectively; second, to the Uncertificated Balances of the REMIC II Regular
Interest II-LTAA and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ up to an aggregate amount
equal to the REMIC II Principal Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%,
respectively; third, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest
II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM10 and REMIC II Regular Interest
II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC
II Regular Interest II-LTM10 has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the
Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular
Interest II-LTM9 and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest
II-LTM9 has been reduced to zero; fifth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC
II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM8 and REMIC II
Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated
Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM8 has been reduced to zero; sixth, to
the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II
Regular Interest II-LTM7 and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest
II-LTM7 has been reduced to zero; seventh, to the Uncertificated Balances of
REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM6 and REMIC
II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the
Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM6 has been reduced to
zero; eighth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest
II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM5 and REMIC II Regular Interest
II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC
II Regular Interest II-LTM5 has been reduced to zero; ninth, to the
Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular
Interest II-LTM4 and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest
II-LTM4 has been reduced to zero; tenth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC
II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM3 and REMIC II
Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated
Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM3 has been reduced to zero; eleventh,
to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II
Regular Interest II-LTM2 and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest
II-LTM2 has been reduced to zero; and twelfth, to the Uncertificated Balances of
REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM1 and REMIC
II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the
Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM1 has been reduced to
zero.
(c)(iii) The REMIC II Sub WAC Allocation Percentage of all Realized
Losses shall be applied after all distributions have been made on each
Distribution Date first, so as to keep the Uncertificated Balance of each REMIC
II Regular Interest ending with the designation "GRP" equal to 0.01% of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan
Group; second, to each REMIC II Regular Interest ending with the designation
"SUB," so that the Uncertificated Balance of each such REMIC II Regular Interest
is equal to 0.01% of the excess of (x) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group over (y) the current Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class A Certificate in the related Loan Group (except
that if any such excess is a larger number than in the preceding distribution
period, the least amount of Realized Losses shall be applied to such REMIC II
Regular Interests such that the REMIC II Subordinated Balance Ratio is
maintained); and third, any remaining Realized Losses shall be allocated to
REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTXX.
All Realized Losses shall be allocated on each Distribution Date in the
same manner and priority as such Realized Losses are allocated to the
Corresponding Certificates.
SECTION 4.05. 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 4.06. Commission Reporting.

Depositor; and
(IV) The Assessment of Compliance, Attestation Report, Annual

(b) The Depositor will execute any Form 8-K and the Trustee will file
each such document on behalf of the Depositor. 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, 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 4.06; provided, however, the Trustee will cooperate with the Depositor
in connection with any additional filings with respect to the Trust Fund as the
Depositor deems necessary under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act"). Copies of all reports filed by the Trustee under the
Exchange Act shall be sent to the Depositor electronically or at the addressed
set forth in Section 11.05. Fees and expenses incurred by the Trustee in
connection with this Section 4.06 shall not be reimbursable from the Trust Fund.
(c) The Trustee shall sign a back-up certification (in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit J-2) for the benefit of the Depositor and its
officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain aspects of items 1 through
3 of the Depositor Certification (provided, however, that the Trustee shall not
undertake an analysis of the accountant's report attached as an exhibit to the
Form 10-K). The Trustee's certification shall be delivered to the Depositor by
no later than March 18th of each year (or if such day is not a Business Day, the
immediately preceding Business Day) and the Depositor shall deliver the
Depositor Certification (signed by the Depositor) to the Trustee, such Depositor
Certification to be filed on Form 10-K (also signed by the Depositor) no later
than March 20th of each year (or if such day is not a Business Day, the
immediately preceding Business Day).
The Trustee shall subject to the provisions of Sections 8.01 and 8.02
hereof, indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and its officers, directors
and Affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments
and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon third party claims
relating to information included in any Form 10-K provided by the Trustee other
than any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and
necessary legal fees and related costs arising out of third party claims
relating to information contained in the Depositor Certification, the Assessment
of Compliance, Attestation Report, Annual Compliance Statements and other
documentation provided by the Master Servicer pursuant to Sections 3.20 and
3.21. In addition, the Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor
and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any losses, damages,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related
costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a
breach of the Trustee's obligations under this Section 4.06 or the Trustee's
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith. If the
indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold
harmless the Depositor, then the Trustee, in connection with a breach of the
Trustee's obligations under this Section 4.06 or the Trustee's negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith, agrees that it shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Depositor as a result of the
losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Depositor in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor on the one hand and
the Trustee on the other.
(d) Nothing shall be construed from the foregoing subsections (a), (b)
and (c) to require the Trustee or any officer, director or Affiliate thereof to
sign any Form 10-K or any certification contained therein. Form 10-K and any
certification contained therein shall be signed by the Depositor. Furthermore,
the inability of the Trustee to file a Form 10-K as a result of the lack of
required information as set forth in Section 4.06(a) or required signatures on
such Form 10-K or any certification contained therein shall not be regarded as a
breach by the Trustee of any obligation under this Agreement.
(e) Upon any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Depositor a copy of any executed report,
statement or information.
(f) Prior to January 30 of the first year in which the Trustee is able
to do so under applicable law, the Trustee shall file a Form 15 Suspension
Notification with respect to the Trust.
(g) To the extent that, following the Closing Date, the Depositor
certifies that reports and certifications differing from those required under
this Section 3.22(b) comply with the reporting requirements under the Exchange
Act, the Trustee hereby agrees that it will reasonably cooperate to amend the
provisions of this Section 3.22(b) in order to comply with such amended
reporting requirements and such amendment of this Section 3.22(b). Any such
amendment may result in the reduction of the reports filed by the Depositor
under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall not be
obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant to this Section that adversely
affects its obligations and immunities under this Agreement.
Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of Section
4.06 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Depositor with the
provisions of Regulation AB promulgated by the Commission under the 1934 Act (17
C.F.R. ▇▇.▇▇. 229.1100 - 229.1123), as such may be amended from time to time and
subject to clarification and interpretive advice as may be issued by the staff
of the Commission from time to time. Therefore, each of the parties agrees that
(a) the obligations of the parties hereunder shall be interpreted in such a
manner as to accomplish that purpose, (b) the parties' obligations hereunder
will be supplemented and modified as necessary to be consistent with any such
amendments, interpretive advice or guidance, convention or consensus among
active participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel,
or otherwise in respect of the requirements of Regulation AB, (c) the parties
shall comply with requests made by the Depositor for delivery of additional or
different information as the Depositor may determine in good faith is necessary
to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, and (d) no amendment of this
Agreement shall be required to effect any such changes in the parties'
obligations as are necessary to accommodate evolving interpretations of the
provisions of Regulation AB.
SECTION 4.07. [Reserved].
SECTION 4.08. [Reserved].
SECTION 4.09. [Reserved].
SECTION 4.10. Swap Account
(a) No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and
maintain with itself, as agent for the Trustee, a separate, segregated trust
account titled, "Swap Account, [_], as Trustee, in trust for the Interest Rate
Swap Provider and the registered holders of Boardwalk Mortgage Securities Inc.,
Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates, Series [_]." Such account shall be an
Eligible Account and amounts therein shall be held uninvested.
(b) On each Distribution Date, prior to any distribution to any
Certificate, the Trustee shall deposit into the Swap Account pursuant to
3.05(c)(i): (i) the amount of any Net Swap Payment or Swap Termination Payment
owed to the Interest Rate Swap Provider (after taking into account any upfront
payment received by the Interest Rate Swap Provider from the counterparty to a
replacement similar agreement) from funds collected and received with respect to
the Mortgage Loans prior to the determination of Available Funds and (ii)
amounts received by the Trustee from the Swap Administrator, for distribution in
accordance with subsection (e) below, pursuant to the Swap Administration
Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date (the "Swap Administration Agreement"),
among [_] in its capacity as Trustee, [_] in its capacity as Swap Administrator
and Ameriquest Mortgage Company. For federal income tax purposes, any amounts
paid to the Interest Rate Swap Provider on each Distribution Date shall first be
deemed paid to the Interest Rate Swap Provider in respect of the Class SWAP-IO
Interest to the extent of the amount distributable on such Class SWAP-IO
Interest on such Distribution Date, and any remaining amount shall be deemed
paid to the Interest Rate Swap Provider in respect of a Class IO Distribution
Amount (as defined below).
If the Trustee fails to pay any Net Swap Payment owed to the Interest
Rate Swap Provider and such failure to pay is not related to insufficient funds
in the Distribution Account and such failure to pay would, pursuant to the terms
of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, cause a Swap Termination Payment to be owed
to the Interest Rate Swap Provider, the NIMS Insurer may, on behalf of the
Trustee and after consultation with the Trustee, pay such Net Swap Payment owed
to the Interest Rate Swap Provider. The NIMS Insurer shall be reimbursed by the
Trustee pursuant to Section 3.05(c). (c) For federal income tax purposes, the
Swap Account shall be owned by the majority Holder of the Class CE Certificates.
(d) The Trustee shall treat the Holders of Certificates (other than the
Class P, Class CE, Class R and Class R-X Certificates) as having entered into a
notional principal contract with respect to the Holders of the Class CE
Certificates. Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all Holders of
Certificates (other than the Class P, Class CE, Class R and Class R-X
Certificates) shall be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution
Date, to the Holder of the Class CE Certificates an aggregate amount equal to
the excess, if any, of (i) the amount payable on such Distribution Date on the
REMIC III Regular Interest corresponding to such Class of Certificates over (ii)
the amount payable on such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such
excess, a "Class IO Distribution Amount"). A Class IO Distribution Amount
payable from interest collections shall be allocated PRO RATA among such
Certificates based on the amount of interest otherwise payable to such
Certificates, and a Class IO Distribution Amount payable from principal
collections shall be allocated to the most subordinate Class of Certificates
with an outstanding principal balance to the extent of such balance. In
addition, pursuant to such notional principal contract, the Holder of the Class
CE Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay Net WAC Rate Carryover
Amounts to the Holders of the Certificates (other than the Class CE, Class P,
Class R and Class R-X Certificates) in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. Any payments to the Certificates from amounts deemed received in
respect of this notional principal contract shall not be payments with respect
to a Regular Interest in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1).
However, any payment from the Certificates (other than the Class CE, Class P and
Class R Certificates) of a Class IO Distribution Amount shall be treated for tax
purposes as having been received by the Holders of such Certificates in respect
of their interests in REMIC III and as having been paid by such Holders to the
Swap Administrator pursuant to the notional principal contract. Thus, each
Certificate (other than the Class P Certificates, Class R Certificates and Class
R-X Certificates) shall be treated as representing not only ownership of Regular
Interests in REMIC III, but also ownership of an interest in, and obligations
with respect to, a notional principal contract.
SECTION 4.11. Tax Treatment of Swap Payments and Swap Termination
Payments.
For federal income tax purposes, each holder of a Class A or Mezzanine
Certificate is deemed to own an undivided beneficial ownership interest in a
REMIC regular interest and the right to receive payments from either the Net WAC
Rate Carryover Reserve Account or the Swap Account in respect of the Net WAC
Rate Carryover Amount or the obligation to make payments to the Swap Account.
For federal income tax purposes, the Trustee will account for payments to each
Class A and Mezzanine Certificates as follows: each Class A and Class M
Certificate will be treated as receiving their entire payment from REMIC IV
(regardless of any Swap Termination Payment or obligation under the Interest
Rate Swap Agreement) and subsequently paying their portion of any Swap
Termination Payment in respect of each such Class' obligation under the Interest
Rate Swap Agreement. In the event that any such Class is resecuritized in a
REMIC, the obligation under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement to pay any such
Swap Termination Payment (or any shortfall in Net Swap Payment), will be made by
one or more of the REMIC Regular Interests issued by the resecuritization REMIC
subsequent to such REMIC Regular Interest receiving its full payment from any
such Class A or Mezzanine Certificate. Resecuritization of any Class A or
Mezzanine Certificate in a REMIC will be permissible only if the Trustee
hereunder is the trustee in such resecuritization. The REMIC regular interest
corresponding to a Class A or Mezzanine Certificate will be entitled to receive
interest and principal payments at the times and in the amounts equal to those
made on the certificate to which it corresponds, except that (i) the maximum
interest rate of that REMIC regular interest will equal the Net WAC Pass-Through
Rate computed for this purpose by limiting the Base Calculation Amount of the
Interest Rate Swap Agreement to the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage
Loans and (ii) any Swap Termination Payment will be treated as being payable
solely from Net Monthly Excess Cashflow. As a result of the foregoing, the
amount of distributions and taxable income on the REMIC regular interest
corresponding to a Class A or Mezzanine Certificate may exceed the actual amount
of distributions on the Class A or Mezzanine Certificate.
SECTION 4.12. Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.
(a) No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and
maintain with itself, as agent for the Trustee, a separate, segregated trust
account titled, "Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, [_], as Trustee, in
trust for the registered Holders of Boardwalk Mortgage Securities Inc.,
Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates, Series [_]." The Trustee shall deposit
into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account any payments received by it
pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(4)(iv).
(b) On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC Rate
Carryover Amount payable to the Class A Certificates or the Mezzanine
Certificates, the Trustee has been directed by the Class CE Certificateholders
to, and therefore shall, deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account
the amount of such Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount rather than distributing such
amounts to the Class CE Certificateholders. On each such Distribution Date, the
Trustee shall hold all such amounts for the benefit of the Holders of the Class
A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates, and shall distribute such amounts
to the Holders of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates in the
amounts and priorities set forth in Section 4.01(a).
(c) For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class CE
Certificateholders shall be deemed to be the owners of the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account and all amounts deposited into the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC III
to the Holders of the Class CE Interest and from the Class CE Interest to the
Class CE Certificates. Upon the termination of the Trust, or the payment in full
of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates, all amounts
remaining on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall be
released by the Trust and distributed to the Class CE Certificateholders or
their designees. The Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall be part of the
Trust but not part of any REMIC and any payments to the Holders of the Class A
Certificates or the Mezzanine Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts
shall not be payments with respect to a "regular interest" in a REMIC within the
meaning of Code Section 860(G)(a)(1).
(d) By accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE
Certificateholder hereby agrees to direct the Trustee, and the Trustee hereby is
directed, to deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account 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 CE
Certificateholders. By accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE
Certificateholder further agrees that such direction is given for good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by
such acceptance.
(e) At the written direction of the Holders of a majority in Percentage
Interest in the Class CE Certificates, the Trustee shall direct any depository
institution maintaining the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account 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 CE Certificates with respect to the Net WAC
Rate Carryover Reserve Account is received by the Trustee, the Trustee shall
invest the funds pursuant to clause (vi) of the definition of Permitted
Investments. Interest earned on such investment shall be deposited into the Net
WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
SECTION 5.01. The Certificates.
(a) The Certificates in the aggregate shall represent the entire
beneficial ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other assets
included in REMIC I. At the Closing Date, the aggregate Certificate Principal
Balance of the Certificates shall equal the aggregate Stated Principal Balance
of the Mortgage Loans.
The Certificates shall be substantially in the forms annexed hereto as
Exhibits A-1 through A-R-X. The Certificates of each Class shall be issuable in
registered form only, in denominations of authorized Percentage Interests as
described in the definition thereof. Each Certificate shall share ratably in all
rights of the related Class.
Upon original issue, the Certificates shall be executed and delivered
by the Trustee and the Trustee shall cause the Certificates to be authenticated
by the Certificate Registrar 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 Certificate Registrar by manual signature, and such
certificate of authentication shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.
(b) The Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates shall
initially be issued as one or more Certificates held by the Book-Entry Custodian
or, if appointed to hold such Certificates as provided below, the Depository,
and registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and, except as
provided below, registration of such Certificates may not be transferred by the
Trustee except to another Depository that agrees to hold such Certificates for
the respective Certificate Owners with Ownership Interests therein. The
Certificate Owners shall hold their respective Ownership Interests in and to
such Certificates through the book-entry facilities of the Depository and,
except as provided below, shall not be entitled to definitive, fully registered
Certificates ("Definitive Certificates") in respect of such Ownership Interests.
All transfers by Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership Interests in
the Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures
established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such
Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer the Ownership
Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or
of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the
Depository's normal procedures. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed as the
Book-Entry Custodian and hereby agrees to act as such in accordance herewith and
in accordance with the agreement that it has with the Depository authorizing it
to act as such. The Book-Entry Custodian may, and if it is no longer qualified
to act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian shall, appoint, by a written instrument
delivered to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee (if the Trustee is
not the Book-Entry Custodian) 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, 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 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 exercising 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 or (ii) 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 shall be issued in minimum
denominations of $[_] in the case of the Class A and Mezzanine Certificates,
except that any beneficial ownership that was represented by a Book-Entry
Certificate in an amount less than $[_] 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 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. The Trustee shall initially serve as Certificate Registrar
for the purpose of registering Certificates and transfers and exchanges of
Certificates as herein provided. The Certificate Registrar may appoint, by a
written instrument delivered to the Master Servicer and the Depositor, any other
bank or trust company to act as Certificate Registrar under such conditions as
the predecessor Certificate Registrar may prescribe, provided that the
predecessor Certificate Registrar shall not be relieved of any of its duties or
responsibilities hereunder by reason of such appointment. If the Trustee shall
at any time not be the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee shall have and
maintain the right to inspect the Certificate Register or to obtain a copy
thereof at all reasonable times, and to rely conclusively upon a certificate of
the Certificate Registrar as to the information set forth in the Certificate
Register.
(b) No transfer of any Private Mezzanine Certificate, Class CE
Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate shall be made unless
that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and an effective
registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made
in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In
the event that such a transfer of a Private Mezzanine Certificate, Class CE
Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate is to be made without
registration or qualification (other than in connection with (i) the initial
transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate of the
Depositor, (ii) the transfer of any such Class CE, Class P or Residual
Certificate to the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the
Indenture or (iii) a transfer of any such Certificate from the issuer under the
Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture to the Depositor or an
Affiliate of the Depositor), the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar shall
each require receipt of: (i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in
reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications from the
Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and from such
Certificateholder's prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached
hereto as Exhibit F-1; and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such registration
(which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Trustee,
the Master Servicer, in its capacity as such, or the Trust Fund), together with
copies of the written certification(s) of the Certificateholder desiring to
effect the transfer and/or such Certificateholder's prospective transferee upon
which such Opinion of Counsel is based, if any. None of the Depositor, the
Certificate Registrar or the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the
Private Mezzanine Certificates, the Class CE Certificates, the Class P
Certificates or the Residual Certificates under the 1933 Act or any other
securities laws or to take any action not otherwise required under this
Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or
qualification. If a transfer of an Ownership Interest in the Private Mezzanine
Certificates is to be made without registration under the 1933 Act (other than
in connection with the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor
to an affiliate of the Depositor), then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse
to register such transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt, may conclusively
rely upon) a certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such
transfer and a certificate from such Certificateholder's prospective transferee
(which in the case of the Book-Entry Certificates, the Certificateholder and the
Certificateholder's prospective transferee shall be deemed to have represented
such certification), to the effect that, among other things, the transfer is
being made to a qualified institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A under the
Securities Act in accordance with Rule 144A. Any Certificateholder desiring to
effect the transfer of a Private Mezzanine Certificate, Class CE Certificate,
Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate shall, and does hereby agree to,
indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Master
Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt
or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no certification or Opinion of Counsel
described in this Section 5.02(b) shall be required in connection with the
transfer, on the Closing Date, of any Class R Certificate by the Depositor to an
"accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501(d) of the 1933 Act.
(c) No transfer of a Certificate or any interest therein shall be made
to any Plan, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of a 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"), as certified by such transferee in the form of
Exhibit G (or, in the case of a Book-Entry Certificate, such transferee shall be
deemed to represent that it is not a Plan or acquiring with Plan Assets), unless
the Trustee is provided with an Opinion of Counsel for the benefit of the Trust
Fund, the Depositor, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer and
on which they may rely, which shall be to the effect that the purchase and
holding of such Certificates is permissible under applicable law, shall not
constitute or result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code and shall not subject the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, 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 NIMS
Insurer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund. Neither an Opinion of Counsel nor any
certification shall be required in connection with (i) the initial transfer of
any such Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the
transfer of any such Certificate to the issuer under the Indenture or the
indenture trustee under the Indenture or (iii) a transfer of any such
Certificate from the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under
the Indenture to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor (in which case
such transferee shall be deemed to have represented that it is not purchasing
with 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 such transferee as an
affiliate of the Depositor.
If any Certificate or any interest therein is acquired or held in
violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraphs, the next preceding
permitted beneficial owner shall 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, the NIMS Insurer, 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.
(d) (i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to
have irrevocably authorized the Certificate Registrar or its designee under
clause (iii)(A) below to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and
to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (iii)(B) below and to
execute all instruments of Transfer and to do all other things necessary in
connection with any such sale. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following
provisions:
(A) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in
a Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall
promptly notify the Certificate Registrar of any change or impending
change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.
(B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall
require delivery to it and shall not register the Transfer of any
Residual Certificate until its receipt of an affidavit and agreement (a
"Transfer Affidavit and Agreement"), in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit F-2 from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, representing and warranting,
among other things, that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee,
that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Residual
Certificate that is the subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee,
trustee or agent for any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee,
that for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate, it shall endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and
that it has reviewed the provisions of this Section 5.02(d) and agrees
to be bound by them.
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and
Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if a
Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar who is assigned to
this transaction has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is
not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected.
(D) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in
a Residual Certificate shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit
and Agreement from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to
transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate and (y) not
to transfer its Ownership Interest unless it provides a Transferor
Affidavit (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-2), to the
Certificate Registrar stating that, among other things, it has no
actual knowledge that such other Person is not a Permitted Transferee.
(E) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in
a Residual Certificate, by purchasing an Ownership Interest in such
Certificate, agrees to give the Certificate Registrar written notice
that it is a "pass-through interest holder" within the meaning of
temporary Treasury regulation Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately
upon acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, if it
is, or is holding an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate on
behalf of, a "pass-through interest holder."
(ii) The Certificate Registrar shall register the Transfer of any
Residual Certificate only if it shall have received the Transfer Affidavit and
Agreement and all of such other documents as shall have been reasonably required
by the Certificate Registrar as a condition to such registration. In addition,
no Transfer of a Residual Certificate shall be made unless the Certificate
Registrar shall have received a representation letter from the Transferee of
such Certificate to the effect that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee.
(iii)(A) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a
Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(d),
then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent
permitted by law, to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of
registration of such Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Certificate
Registrar shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of
Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section
5.02(d) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof
or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions
of this Agreement.
(B) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a
Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section
5.02(d) and to the extent that the retroactive restoration of the
rights of the Holder of such Residual Certificate as described in
clause (iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then
the Certificate Registrar shall have the right, without notice to the
Holder or any prior Holder of such Residual Certificate, to sell such
Residual Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Certificate
Registrar on such terms as the Certificate Registrar may choose. Such
purported Transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver each Residual
Certificate in accordance with the instructions of the Certificate
Registrar. Such purchaser may be the Certificate Registrar itself or
any Affiliate of the Certificate Registrar. The proceeds of such sale,
net of the commissions (which may include commissions payable to the
Certificate Registrar or its Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if
any, shall be remitted by the Certificate Registrar to such purported
Transferee. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause
(iii)(B) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Certificate
Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar shall not be liable to any
Person having an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate as a
result of its exercise of such discretion.
(iv) The Trustee shall make available to the Internal Revenue Service
and those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions all information necessary to
compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the Transfer of an Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified Organization,
including the information described in Treasury regulations sections
1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5) with respect to the "excess inclusions" of
such Residual Certificate and (B) as a result of any regulated investment
company, real estate investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust,
estate or organization described in Section 1381 of the Code that holds an
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate having as among its record Holders
at any time any Person which is a Disqualified Organization. Reasonable
compensation for providing such information may be accepted by the Trustee.
(v) The provisions of this Section 5.02(d) set forth prior to this
subsection (v) may be modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there
shall have been delivered to the Trustee at the expense of the party seeking to
modify, add to or eliminate any such provision the following:
(A) written notification from each Rating Agency to the effect
that the modification, addition to or elimination of such provisions
shall not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its then-current
ratings of any Class of Certificates; and
(B) an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory
to the Trustee, to the effect that such modification of, addition to or
elimination of such provisions shall not cause any Trust REMIC to cease
to qualify as a REMIC and shall not cause any Trust REMIC, as the case
may be, to be subject to an entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of
any Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee
or (y) a Person other than the prospective transferee to be subject to
a REMIC-tax caused by the Transfer of a Residual Certificate to a
Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.
The Trustee shall forward to the NIMS Insurer a copy of the items
delivered to it pursuant to (A) and (B) above.
(e) Subject to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of the
Trustee maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12, the Trustee shall
execute and the Certificate Registrar shall 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 and cause the Certificate Registrar to
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 and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder
thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. In addition, (i) with
respect to each Class R Certificate, the Holder thereof may exchange, in the
manner described above, the Class R Certificate for four separate Certificates,
each representing such Holder's respective Percentage Interest in the Class R-I
Interest, the Class R-II Interest, the Class R-III Interest and the Class R-IV
Interest, respectively, in each case that was evidenced by the Class R
Certificate being exchanged and (ii) with respect to each Class R-X Certificate,
the Holder thereof may exchange, in the manner described above, the Class R-X
Certificate for four separate Certificates, each representing such Holder's
respective Percentage Interest in the Class R-V Interest, the Class R-VI
Interest and the Class R-VII Interest, respectively, in each case that was
evidenced by the Class R-X Certificate being exchanged.
(g) No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any
transfer or exchange of Certificates, 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.
(h) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be
canceled and destroyed by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with its
customary procedures.
(i) The Trustee shall cause the Certificate Registrar (unless the
Trustee is acting as Certificate Registrar) to provide notice to the Trustee of
each transfer of a Certificate and to provide the Trustee with an updated copy
of the Certificate Register on the first Business Day in March and August of
each year, commencing in March 2006.
(j) Any attempted or purported transfer of any Certificate in violation
of the provisions of Section 5.02(c) hereof shall be void AB INITIO and such
Certificate shall be considered to have been held continuously by the prior
permitted Holder.
SECTION 5.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar, or the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar receive
evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and
the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by them
to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of actual knowledge by the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by
a bona fide purchaser or the Trustee shall execute and deliver, in exchange for
or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new
Certificate of the same Class and of like denomination and Percentage Interest.
Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the 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 Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any
replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute
complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the applicable REMIC created
hereunder, 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 Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the
Certificate Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the Person 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 Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the NIMS Insurer or any agent of any of them
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
SECTION 5.05. Certain Available Information.
On or prior to the date of the first sale of any Private Mezzanine
Certificate, Class CE Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate
to an Independent third party, the Depositor shall provide to the Trustee ten
copies of any private placement memorandum or other disclosure document used by
the Depositor in connection with the offer and sale of the Private Mezzanine
Certificates, the Class CE Certificates, the Class P Certificates or the
Residual Certificates. In addition, if any such private placement memorandum or
disclosure document is revised, amended or supplemented at any time following
the delivery thereof to the Trustee, the Depositor promptly shall inform the
Trustee of such event and shall deliver to the Trustee ten copies of the private
placement memorandum or disclosure document, as revised, amended or
supplemented. The Trustee shall maintain at its Corporate Trust Office and shall
make available free of charge during normal business hours for review by any
Holder of a Certificate and/or Certificate Owner or any Person identified to the
Trustee as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, originals or copies of the
following items: (i) in the case of a Holder, Certificate Owner or prospective
transferee of a Private Mezzanine Certificate, a Class CE Certificate, a Class P
Certificate or a Residual Certificate, the private placement memorandum or other
disclosure document relating to such Certificate, if any, in the form most
recently provided to the Trustee; and (ii) in all cases, (A) this Agreement and
any amendments hereof entered into pursuant to Section 11.01, (B) all monthly
statements required to be delivered to Certificateholders of the relevant Class
pursuant to Section 4.02 since the Closing Date, and all other notices, reports,
statements and written communications delivered to the Certificateholders of the
relevant Class pursuant to this Agreement since the Closing Date, (C) all
certifications delivered by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee since the
Closing Date pursuant to Section 10.01(h), (D) any and all Officers'
Certificates delivered to the Trustee by the Master Servicer since the Closing
Date to evidence the Master Servicer's determination that any Advance or
Servicing Advance was, or if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, respectively, and (E) any and all Officers'
Certificates delivered to the Trustee by the Master Servicer since the Closing
Date pursuant to Section 4.04(a). Copies and mailing of any and all of the
foregoing items shall be available from the Trustee upon request at the expense
of the person requesting the same.
ARTICLE VI
THE DEPOSITOR AND THE MASTER SERVICER
SECTION 6.01. Liability of the Depositor and the Master Servicer.
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 shall 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 shall 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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ or
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac in good standing. The Depositor and the Master Servicer each shall
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
▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac; and provided further that the Rating Agencies'
ratings of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates in effect
immediately prior to such merger or consolidation shall not be qualified,
reduced or withdrawn as a result thereof (as evidenced by a letter to such
effect from the Rating Agencies).
SECTION 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer and Others.
None of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, 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 NIMS
Insurer, 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 negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the NIMS Insurer,
the Master Servicer or the Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent
of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee 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 NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer and any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, 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, in the case of the Depositor and the Master Servicer, 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. None of the Depositor, the NIMS
Insurer or the Master Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in,
prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action is related to its
respective duties under this Agreement and, in its opinion, does not involve it
in any expense or liability; provided, however, that each of the Depositor, the
NIMS Insurer 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 the 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, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer
shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as and
to the extent provided in Section 3.05, any such right of reimbursement being
prior to the rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the
Collection Account.
SECTION 6.04. Limitation on Resignation of the 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, the NIMS Insurer and written confirmation from each Rating Agency
(which confirmation shall be furnished to the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and
the Trustee) that such resignation shall not cause such Rating Agency to reduce
the then current rating of 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 and the NIMS Insurer. No resignation of
the Master Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor
servicer acceptable to the NIMS Insurer 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. 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.
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 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 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 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 appropriate 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 Trustee or
the Trust Fund, and in either case, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer or the
Trustee, as the case may be, shall 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.
SECTION 6.06. Sub-Servicing Agreements Between the Master Servicer and
Sub-Servicers.
(a) The Master Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements
(provided that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a downgrade
by any Rating Agency of the ratings on any Class of Certificates and the NIMS
Insurer shall have consented to such Sub-Servicing Agreement) with
Sub-Servicers, for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans.
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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae approved mortgage
servicer. Each Sub-Servicing Agreement must impose on the Sub-Servicer
requirements conforming to the provisions set forth in Section 6.11 and provide
for servicing of the Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement.
The Master Servicer shall examine each Sub-Servicing Agreement and shall be
familiar with the terms thereof. The terms of any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall
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 6.11, provisions relating to insurance in
Section 3.10 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 Trustee and the NIMS Insurer copies of all Sub-Servicing
Agreements, and any amendments or modifications thereof, promptly upon the
Master Servicer's execution and delivery of such instruments.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that until the
Servicing Transfer Date, Ameriquest Mortgage Company shall be a Sub-Servicer of
the Mortgage Loans.
(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 of the Seller
under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, any
obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments as required by a
Sub-Servicing Agreement, or to purchase 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.
SECTION 6.07. Successor Sub-Servicers.
The Master Servicer, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, 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. In the event of
termination of any Sub-Servicer, all servicing obligations of such Sub-Servicer
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 service directly the related Mortgage Loans or shall enter into a
Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor Sub-Servicer which qualifies under
Section 6.06.
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, in the event that the Master
Servicer shall, for any reason, no longer be the Master Servicer (including
termination due to a Master Servicer Event of Default).
SECTION 6.08. 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.
SECTION 6.09. No Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicers and
the NIMS Insurer, 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 NIMS Insurer, the Trustee and 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 6.10. 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.
SECTION 6.10. 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 termination due to a Master Servicer Event of
Default), the Trustee or its designee shall thereupon assume (or cause its
designee or the successor master servicer for the Trustee appointed pursuant to
Section 7.02 to 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 6.07. 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 6.07, 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 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.
The Master Servicer at its expense 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 6.11. 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. The
Sub-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 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 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.
ARTICLE VII
DEFAULT
SECTION 7.01. Master Servicer Events of Default.
"Master Servicer Event of Default," wherever used herein, means any one
of the following events:
(i) any failure by the Master Servicer to remit to the Trustee
for distribution to the Certificateholders any payment (other than an
Advance required to be made from its own funds on any Master Servicer
Remittance Date pursuant to Section 4.03) required to be made under the
terms of the Certificates and this Agreement which continues unremedied
for a period of one Business Day after the date upon which written
notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have
been given to the Master Servicer by the Depositor or the Trustee (in
which case notice shall be provided by telecopy), or to the Master
Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by the NIMS Insurer or the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights;
or
(ii) any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to
observe or perform in any material respect any of the covenants or
agreements on the part of the Master Servicer contained in the
Certificates or in this Agreement (or, if the Master Servicer is the
Seller, the failure of the Seller to repurchase a Mortgage Loan as to
which a breach has been established that requires a repurchase pursuant
to the terms of Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement)
which continues unremedied for a period of 45 days after the earlier of
(i) the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the
same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by
the Depositor or the Trustee, or to the Master Servicer, the Depositor
and the Trustee by the NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights and (ii) actual knowledge
of such failure by a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer; or
(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory
authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case
under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar law or the appointment of a conservator or receiver or
liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, 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
(iv) the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment
of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of
or relating to the Master Servicer or of or relating to all or
substantially all of its property; or
(v) the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability
to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take
advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make
an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend
payment of its obligations; or
(vi) [reserved]; or
(vii) any failure of the Master Servicer to make any Advance
on any Master Servicer Remittance Date required to be made from its own
funds pursuant to Section 4.03 which continues unremedied until 1:00
p.m. New York time on the Business Day immediately following the Master
Servicer Remittance Date.
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, the NIMS Insurer or the Trustee may, at the written direction of the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of Voting Rights, or at the
direction of the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the
Master Servicer and 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) hereof shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master
Servicer 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 and the Trustee as successor
Master Servicer or a successor Master Servicer appointed in accordance with
Section 7.02, shall immediately make such Advance (subject to its own
determination as to recoverability, which Advance shall be part of Available
Funds for such Distribution Date) and assume, pursuant to Section 7.02, the
duties of a successor Master Servicer. 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, 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, the Distribution Account or any REO Account or Escrow Account held by
or on behalf of the Master Servicer or thereafter be received with respect to
the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property serviced by the Master Servicer
(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 is received by the
Trustee of any such event and such notice references the Certificates, REMIC I
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 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
placed on the Master Servicer (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 3.06) by the terms and provisions
hereof including, without limitation, the Master Servicer's obligations to make
Advances pursuant to Section 4.03; provided, however, that if the Trustee is
prohibited by law or regulation from obligating itself to make advances
regarding delinquent mortgage loans, then the Trustee shall not be obligated to
make Advances pursuant to Section 4.03; and provided further, that any failure
to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer's
failure to provide information required by Section 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
shall be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the servicing
transfer is fully effected. As compensation therefor, effective from and after
the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination or immediately
upon assumption of the obligations to make Advances, the Trustee shall be
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 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 Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights or the NIMS Insurer
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 (with confirmation from the Rating
Agencies that such appointment shall not result in the reduction or withdrawal
of the rating of any outstanding Class of Certificates) and acceptable to the
NIMS Insurer and having a net worth of not less than $[_] 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.
(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 the Certificates and this Agreement (for purposes of this Section
7.02(b), a "Remittance") because the Master Servicer is the subject of a
proceeding under the federal Bankruptcy Code and the making of such Remittance
is prohibited by Section 362 of the federal Bankruptcy Code, the Trustee shall
upon notice of such prohibition, regardless of whether it has received a notice
of termination under Section 7.01, 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 shall 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.
(c) If the Master Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section 7.01, then
the successor Master Servicer shall not be permitted to reimburse itself
directly for Advances or Servicing Advances under Section 3.05(a)(ii), Section
3.05(a)(iii), Section 3.05(a)(v) or Section 3.05(a)(vii) if the Master Servicer
has not been fully reimbursed for its Advances and Servicing Advances, but
instead the successor Master Servicer shall include such amounts in the
applicable remittance to the Trustee made pursuant to Section 3.04(g) to the
extent of amounts on deposit in the Collection Account on the related Master
Servicer Remittance Date. The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay to the
terminated Master Servicer (or the related Advancing Person in accordance with
Section 3.23) and the successor Master Servicer, as applicable, reimbursements
for Advances and Servicing Advances from the Distribution Account to the same
extent each such Master Servicer would have been permitted to reimburse itself
for such Advances and/or Servicing Advances in accordance with Section
3.05(a)(ii), Section 3.05(a)(iii), Section 3.05(a)(v) or Section 3.05(a)(vii),
as the case may be. 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. At such time as the Master Servicer (or related
Advancing Person) has been reimbursed for all Advances and Servicing Advances
made by it, the successor Master Servicer shall no longer be required to remit
in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 7.02(c) and shall then be
permitted to reimburse itself directly for Advances and Servicing Advances in
accordance with Section 3.05(a)(ii), Section 3.05(a)(iii), Section 3.05(a)(v) or
Section 3.05(a)(vii).
(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the parties hereto
hereby agree that Ameriquest Mortgage Company shall immediately succeed as
successor Master Servicer if [__________] resigns or is removed as Master
Servicer under this Agreement, subject to removal by the Trustee upon failure to
provide to the Trustee within 60 days, written notification from each Rating
Agency to the effect that such appointment shall not cause such Rating Agency to
downgrade its then-current ratings of any Class of Certificates.
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 and the NIMS Insurer at their respective addresses appearing
in the Certificate Register.
(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 the NIMS Insurer and to all Holders of
Certificates notice of each such occurrence, unless such default or Master
Servicer Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.
SECTION 7.04. Waiver of Master Servicer Events of Default.
The Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting Rights (with the
consent of the NIMS Insurer) evidenced by all Classes of Certificates affected
by any default or Master Servicer Event of Default hereunder may 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 (with the
consent of the NIMS Insurer). 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.
ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING 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 on their face to the requirements of this Agreement. If any such
instrument is found not to conform on its face 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 its respective satisfaction, such dissatisfied party shall provide
notice thereof to the Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer.
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 available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power
conferred upon it, under this Agreement.
The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or
otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties
hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is
reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and
none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require it
to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the
obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, except during such
time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the
rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Master Servicer in accordance with
the terms of 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 upon and shall be
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;
(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
Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer, pursuant to the provisions of
this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer, as
applicable, shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity
reasonably 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
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 such Certificateholders, the
Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expense, or
liability from such Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer as a
condition to taking any such action;
(vi) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
through agents or attorneys; and
(vii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any loss
resulting from the investment of funds held in the Collection Account,
the Escrow Account or the REO Account made at the direction of the
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06.
(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 the name of the Trustee for the
benefit of all the Holders of such Certificates, subject to the provisions of
this Agreement.
(c) The Depositor hereby directs the Trustee to execute, deliver and
perform its obligations under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement and to assign any
rights to receive payments from the Interest Rate Swap Provider pursuant to the
Interest Rate Swap Agreement to the Swap Administrator pursuant to the Swap
Administration Agreement and the Depositor further directs the Trustee to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Swap Administration
Agreement. The Seller, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Holders of the
Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates by their acceptance of such
Certificates acknowledge and agree that the Trustee shall execute, deliver and
perform its obligations under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement and the Swap
Administration Agreement and shall do so solely in its capacity as Trustee of
the Trust Fund or as Swap Administrator, as the case may be, and not in its
individual capacity. Every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall apply
to the Trustee's execution of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement and the Swap
Administration Agreement, and the performance of its duties and satisfaction of
its obligations thereunder.
SECTION 8.03. The Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage
Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the
signature of the Trustee, the authentication of the Certificate Registrar 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 assumes no 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
with respect to such party in Section 8.13) or of the Certificates (other than
the signature of the Trustee and authentication of the Certificate Registrar 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 such 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 Collection Account
by the Master Servicer, other than, subject to Section 8.01, any funds held by
or on behalf of the Trustee in accordance with Section 3.04.
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.
SECTION 8.05. Trustee's Fees and Expenses.
(a) On each Distribution Date reinvestment earnings on funds on deposit
in the Distribution Account, which have been earned during the period commencing
on the related Master Servicer Remittance Date and ending on such Distribution
Date, shall be paid to the Trustee, as compensation for its duties and
obligations under this Agreement (the "Trustee Fee') and the Trustee shall
withdraw from the Distribution Account (but not from such reinvestment earnings)
amounts required to pay the Custodian the Custodian Fee or to reimburse the
Custodian for expenses, costs and liabilities incurred or reimbursable to it, as
such Custodian Fee and expenses (listed separately) are set forth in writing by
the Custodian to the Trustee by the related Determination Date pursuant to the
Custodial Agreement. The Trustee or any director, officer, employee or agent of
the Trustee shall be indemnified by REMIC I 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 a breach of the Master Servicer's obligations and
duties under this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans (for which the Master
Servicer shall indemnify pursuant to Section 8.05(b)), (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 its willful misfeasance, bad
faith or negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of
reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder or as a result of a
breach of its 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.
(b) 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 hereunder 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 Seller 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 $[_]
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 and Removal of the Trustee.
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trust
hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the NIMS
Insurer, the Master Servicer and the Certificateholders. Upon receiving such
notice of resignation of the Trustee, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a
successor trustee acceptable to the NIMS Insurer by written instrument, in
duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and to
the successor trustee. 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.
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, 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 respective property shall be
appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or
of its respective property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor or the NIMS Insurer may remove
the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee acceptable to the NIMS Insurer 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 (or the NIMS Insurer upon failure of the Trustee to perform its
obligations hereunder) may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a
successor trustee acceptable to the NIMS Insurer by written instrument or
instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact
duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered 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.
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, the NIMS Insurer, the Master
Servicer and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such 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 any Class of Certificates
by each 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 I 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 and the NIMS Insurer to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with
the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of
REMIC I, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to
REMIC I, 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. Any such
co-trustee or separate trustee shall be subject to the written approval of the
Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer. If the Master Servicer and the NIMS
Insurer shall not have joined in 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 the Holders of Certificates of the
appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under
Section 8.08 hereof.
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 I or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and
performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the
Trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees,
as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Article 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 and a copy thereof given to the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer.
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
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, the consent to which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The
Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall pay any and all fees and expenses of
the Custodian in accordance with Section 8.05 and the Custodial Agreement. The
Trustee initially appoints the Custodian as Custodian, and the Depositor and the
Master Servicer consent to such appointment. 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
subject to supervision by federal or state authority, shall have combined
capital and surplus of at least $[_] and shall be qualified to do business in
the jurisdiction in which it holds any Mortgage File. Each Custodial Agreement
may be amended only as provided in Section 11.01. In no event shall the
appointment of any Custodian pursuant to a Custodial Agreement diminish the
obligations of the Trustee hereunder.
SECTION 8.12. Appointment of Office or Agency.
The Trustee shall designate an office or agency where the Certificates
may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and presented for
final distribution, and where notices and demands to or upon the Trustee in
respect of the Certificates and this Agreement may be delivered. As of the
Closing Date, the Trustee designates its Corporate Trust Office in Minneapolis,
Minnesota.
SECTION 8.13. Representations and Warranties of the Trustee.
The Trustee hereby represents and warrants, to the Master Servicer and
the Depositor, as of the Closing Date, that:
(i) It is a national banking association duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United
States.
(ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by it, and
the performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by it,
shall not violate its charter or bylaws or constitute a default (or an
event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a
default) under, or result in the breach of, any material agreement or
other instrument to which it is a party or which is applicable to it or
any of its assets.
(iii) It has the full power and authority to enter into and
consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has duly
authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement,
and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement.
(iv) This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and
delivery by the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid, legal and
binding obligation of it, enforceable against it in accordance with the
terms hereof, subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and (B) general principles
of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law.
(v) It is not in violation of, and its execution and delivery
of this Agreement and its performance and compliance with the terms of
this Agreement shall not constitute a violation of, any law, any order
or decree of any court or arbiter, or any order, regulation or demand
of any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory authority,
which violation, in its good faith and reasonable judgment, is likely
to affect materially and adversely either the ability of it to perform
its obligations under this Agreement or its financial condition.
(vi) No litigation is pending or, to the best knowledge,
threatened against it which would prohibit it from entering into this
Agreement or, in its good faith reasonable judgment, is likely to
materially and adversely affect either its ability to perform its
obligations under this Agreement or its financial condition.
ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
SECTION 9.01. Termination Upon Repurchase or Liquidation of All
Mortgage Loans.
(a) Subject to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and
responsibilities under this Agreement of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and
the Trustee (other than the obligations of the Master Servicer to the Trustee
pursuant to Section 8.05 and of the Master Servicer to provide for and the
Trustee to make payments in respect of the REMIC Regular Interests or the
Classes of Certificates as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon payment
to the Certificateholders and the deposit of all amounts held by or on behalf of
the Trustee and required hereunder to be so paid or deposited on the
Distribution Date coinciding with or following the earlier to occur of (i) the
purchase by the Terminator (as defined below) of all Mortgage Loans and each REO
Property remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property
remaining in REMIC I; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust
created hereby continue beyond the earlier of (a) the "latest possible maturity
date" and (b) the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of
the descendants of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, the late ambassador of the United States
to the Court of St. ▇▇▇▇▇, living on the date hereof. The purchase by the
Terminator of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I
shall be at a price (the "Termination Price") equal to the sum of (x) any Swap
Termination Payment owed to the Interest Rate Swap Provider and (y) the greater
of (A) the aggregate fair market value of all of the assets of REMIC I and (B)
the sum of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans (after giving
effect to scheduled payments of principal due during the related Due Period, to
the extent received or advanced, and unscheduled collections of principal
received during the related Prepayment Period) and the appraised fair market
value of the REO Properties plus accrued interest through the end of the
calendar month preceding the month of the final Distribution Date and any
unreimbursed Advances and Servicing Advances(in the case of fair market values
required to be determined under (A) or (B) above, as determined by the
Terminator, the Trustee and, if the Terminator is not the NIMS Insurer, the NIMS
Insurer, 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);
provided, however, such option may only be exercised if the Termination Price is
sufficient to pay all interest accrued on, as well as amounts necessary to
retire the note balance of, each class of notes issued pursuant to the Indenture
and any amounts owed to the NIMS Insurer at the time the option is exercised.
(b) The holders of the Class CE Certificates or the Master Servicer, in
that order, (or if the holders of the Class CE Certificates and the Master
Servicer fail to 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 remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i)
of the preceding paragraph no later than the Determination Date in the month
immediately preceding the Distribution Date on which the Certificates shall be
retired; provided, however, that the Terminator may elect to purchase all of the
Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i)
above only (A) 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 less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
as of the Cut-off Date and (B) if the Terminator is the Master Servicer and is
an affiliate of the Seller, the Master Servicer shall have delivered to the
Trustee and the NIMS Insurer a written certification that the burdens of
servicing the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties remaining in REMIC I exceed the
benefits of the Servicing Fees that would be realized by the Master Servicer if
it continued to service such assets on behalf of the Trust Fund. By acceptance
of the Residual Certificates, the Holders of the Residual Certificates agree, in
connection with any termination hereunder, to pledge 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 CE Certificates.
(c) Notice of the liquidation of the REMIC 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 shall terminate
and final payment in respect of the REMIC Regular Interests and the Certificates
shall 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 Regular
Interests or the Certificates from and after the Interest Accrual Period
relating to the final Distribution Date therefor and (iv) that the Record Date
otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being
made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of
the Trustee. The Trustee shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar at
the time such notice is given to Certificateholders. 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 I by the Terminator, the Terminator shall deliver to
the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account not later than the last
Business Day preceding the final Distribution Date on the Certificates an amount
in immediately available funds equal to the above-described purchase price. Upon
certification to the Trustee by a Servicing Officer of the making of such final
deposit, the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall promptly
release or cause to be released to the Terminator the Mortgage Files for the
remaining Mortgage Loans, and the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of 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. Any funds not
distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates being retired on such
Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender
their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust 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 the Underwriters all
remaining 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 I pursuant to Section 9.01, the
Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional
requirements:
(i) The Trustee shall specify the first day in the 90-day
liquidation period in a statement attached to each Trust REMIC's final
Tax Return pursuant to Treasury regulation Section 1.860F-1 and shall
satisfy all requirements of a qualified liquidation under Section 860F
of the Code and any regulations thereunder, as evidenced by an Opinion
of Counsel 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
Trustee shall sell all of the assets of REMIC I to the Terminator for
cash; and
(iii) At the time of the making of the final payment on 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 retained to meet
claims), and the Trust Fund shall terminate at that time.
(b) At the expense of the applicable Terminator (or in the event of
termination under Section 9.01(a)(ii), at the expense of the Trustee), 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.
(c) By their acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby
agree to authorize the Trustee to specify the 90-day liquidation period for each
Trust REMIC which authorization shall be binding upon all successor

Regular Interests, the Class CE Interest, the Class P Interest, the Class
SWAP-IO Interest and the interests represented by the Certificates.
(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "Startup Day" of each
Trust REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
(c) The Trustee shall pay out of its own funds, without any right of
reimbursement, any and all expenses relating to any tax audit of the Trust Fund
caused by the Trustee (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), other than the
expense of obtaining any tax related Opinion of Counsel except as specified
herein. The Trustee, as agent for 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 the Trust Fund in any
administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any
governmental taxing authority with respect thereto. The Holder of the largest
Percentage Interest of each Class of Residual Certificates shall be designated,
in the manner provided under Treasury regulations section 1.860F-4(d) and
Treasury regulations section 301.6231(a)(7)-1, as the tax matters person of the
related REMIC created hereunder. By their acceptance thereof, the Holder of the
largest Percentage Interest of 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 all of the Tax Returns in
respect of each REMIC created hereunder. The expenses of preparing and filing
such returns shall be borne by the 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
Service the name, title, address and telephone number of the person who shall
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 each of
them to perform their respective 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 assumption and projected cash flow of the Certificates.
(f) The Trustee shall take such action and shall cause each REMIC
created hereunder to take such action as shall be necessary to create or
maintain the status thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions (and the
Master Servicer shall assist it, to the extent reasonably requested by it). 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 and the NIMS Insurer have
received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer
(at the expense of the party seeking to take such action but in no event at the
expense of the Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action shall 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 and the
NIMS Insurer 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. 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 shall consult with the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer or its designee, in
writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event
to occur with respect to any Trust REMIC, and the Master Servicer shall not take
any such action or cause any Trust REMIC to take any such action as to which the
Trustee or the NIMS Insurer has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC
Event could occur. The Trustee or the NIMS Insurer 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 Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee shall ensure that
substantially all of the assets of any Trust REMIC shall 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 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 15th of each calendar year, commencing April 15,
2006, the Trustee shall deliver to the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and
each Rating Agency a Certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
stating, without regard to any action taken by any party other than the Trustee,
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. The Trustee shall apply for an Employer Identification Number for
the Trust Fund from the Internal Revenue Service via a Form SS-4 or such other
form as is appropriate.
(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 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 shall not cause the related REMIC to
fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or
subject such REMIC to any tax under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable
provisions of federal, state and local law or ordinances.
(k) Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall enter into any
arrangement by which any Trust REMIC shall receive a fee or other compensation
for services nor permit any such REMIC to receive any income from assets other
than the Mortgage Pool which are deemed to constitute "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 I, (iii) the termination of REMIC I
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), or acquire any assets for any Trust REMIC
(other than REO Property acquired in respect of a defaulted Mortgage Loan), or
sell or dispose of any investments in the Collection Account or the Distribution
Account for gain, or 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 has received an Opinion of Counsel,
addressed to the Trustee 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 shall 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. Master Servicer and Trustee Indemnification.
(a) The Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the NIMS Insurer,
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, caused solely by the Trustee's
failure to act in accordance with its standard of care 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.
(b) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the NIMS
Insurer, the 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 Depositor or the Trustee, as a result of a breach of the Master
Servicer's 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.

modify or supplement any provisions herein (including to give effect to the
expectations of Certificateholders), or in any Custodial Agreement, or (iii) 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 adversely affect in any material respect the interests of
any Certificateholder, as evidenced by either (i) an Opinion of Counsel
delivered to the Master Servicer and the Trustee to such effect or (ii)
confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such amendment shall not result in
the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding Class of
Certificates. No amendment shall be deemed to adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of any Certificateholder who shall have consented thereto,
and no Opinion of Counsel shall be required to address the effect of any such
amendment on any such consenting Certificateholder.
This Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time
to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee
and, if applicable, the Custodian, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer and the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights for the
purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any
of the provisions of this Agreement or any Custodial Agreement or of modifying
in any manner the rights of the Interest Rate Swap Provider or 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 Interest Rate Swap Provider or Holders or of any
Class of Certificates (as evidenced by either (i) an Opinion of Counsel
delivered to the Trustee or (ii) written notice to the Depositor, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee from the Rating Agencies that such action shall not
result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding Class of
Certificates with respect to which it is a Rating Agency) in a manner other than
as described in (i), or (iii) modify the consents required by the immediately
preceding clauses (i) and (ii) without the consent of the Holders of all

Agreement, for purposes of the 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, neither the
Trustee nor the NIMS Insurer shall consent to any amendment to this Agreement
unless it shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the
NIMS Insurer to the effect that such amendment shall 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.
Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 11.01, none
of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall enter into any
amendment of this Agreement that would significantly change the permitted
activities of the Trust Fund without the consent of the NIMS Insurer and the
Holders of Certificates that represent more than 50% of the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of all Certificates.
Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 11.01, none
of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall enter into any

Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee shall
furnish a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under

execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.

Section 11.01 shall be borne by the Person seeking the related amendment, but in

every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of
Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of any
provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the
Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain
priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right
under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal,
ratable and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and
enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Certificateholder

SECTION 11.08. Article and Section References.
All article and section references used in this Agreement, unless
otherwise provided, are to articles and sections in this Agreement.
SECTION 11.09. Grant of Security Interest.
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of
the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee 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 or
the Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned
intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the
Depositor or 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 Depositor to the
Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor or 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 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 Seller and the
Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the Seller's and 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
on behalf of the Certificateholders 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
and the transfer pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to be a true,
absolute and unconditional sale of the Mortgage Loans and assets constituting
the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee.
SECTION 11.10. Third Party Rights.
Each of the NIMS Insurer and the Interest Rate Swap Provider shall be
third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement to the same extent as if they were
parties hereto, and shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this
Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, provisions herein
that refer to the "benefit" of Certificateholders or the "interests" of the
Certificateholders or actions "for the benefit of" Certificateholders also
include an implicit reference to the benefits or interests of the NIMS Insurer,
if any.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the
Trustee have caused their names to be signed hereto by their respective officers
thereunto duly authorized, in each case as of the day and year first above
written.

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement
will be made or caused to be made by or on behalf of the Trustee by wire
transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled
thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least
five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such
Distribution Date or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the

the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on
this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Trustee of the pendency of
such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate
at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose as provided in
the Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on
the face hereof (herein called the "Certificates") and representing a Percentage
Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the
denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof.
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections
and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the
Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time
for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes
including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer (if any), the Trustee and the
rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer (if any) and the Trustee with
the consent of the NIMS Insurer (if any) and the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the
amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the
Holders of any of the Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee as provided in the Agreement, duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same
Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without
coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified
in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is
made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and an effective registration or
qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a
transaction that does not require such registration or qualification (other than
in connection with (i) the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the
Depositor to an affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the transfer of any such
Certificate to the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the
Indenture or (iii) a transfer of any such Certificate from the issuer under the
Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture to the Depositor or an
Affiliate of the Depositor). In the event that such a transfer of this
Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification, the Trustee and
the Certificate Registrar shall require receipt of (i) if such transfer is
purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written
certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the
transfer, and from such Holder's prospective transferee, substantially in the
forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit F-1, and (ii) in all other cases, an
Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without
such registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an
expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Master
Servicer in their respective capacities as such), together with copies of the
written certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the
transfer and/or such Holder's prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of
Counsel is based. None of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar or the
Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified
on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any
action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such
Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to
effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the
Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Master Servicer
against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not
made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
No transfer of this Certificate to a 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 using "Plan Assets" to acquire this Certificate shall be
made except in accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer (if
any) and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the NIMS Insurer (if any) or the Certificate Registrar may treat the
Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS
Insurer (if any), the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected
by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created
thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts
held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement
following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in REMIC I,
and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price
determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage Loans
and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement
permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase
from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right cannot be exercised until the Optional Termination Date.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the
Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by
the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly
executed.

deemed to have consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the Agreement and
to any amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of the Depositor

Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause the Trust Fund to cease
to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon the REMIC.

exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

any) and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the NIMS Insurer (if any) or the Certificate Registrar may treat the
Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS
Insurer (if any), the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected
by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created
thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts

following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in REMIC I,

Date pursuant to the Agreement.
All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement
will be made or caused to be made by or on behalf of the Trustee by wire

thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least
five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such

such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate
at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose as provided in
the Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on
the face hereof (herein called the "Certificates") and representing a Percentage
Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the
denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof.
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections
and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the
Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time
for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes
including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer,(if any) and the Trustee and
the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer (if any) and the Trustee with
the consent of the NIMS Insurer (if any) and the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the
amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the
Holders of any of the Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee as provided in the Agreement, duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same
Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without
coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified
in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is
made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and an effective registration or
qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a
transaction that does not require such registration or qualification (other than
in connection with (i) the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the
Depositor to an affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the transfer of any such
Certificate to the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the
Indenture or (iii) a transfer of any such Certificate from the issuer under the
Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture to the Depositor or an
Affiliate of the Depositor). In the event that such a transfer of this
Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification, the Trustee and
the Certificate Registrar shall require receipt of (i) if such transfer is
purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written
certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the
transfer, and from such Holder's prospective transferee, substantially in the
forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit F-1, and (ii) in all other cases, an
Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without
such registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an
expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Master
Servicer in their respective capacities as such), together with copies of the
written certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the
transfer and/or such Holder's prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of
Counsel is based. None of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar or the
Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified
on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any
action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such
Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to
effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the
Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Master Servicer
against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not
made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
No transfer of this Certificate to a 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 using "Plan Assets" to acquire this Certificate shall be
made except in accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.
Prior to registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of
this Certificate, the proposed transferee shall provide to the Trustee (i) an
affidavit to the effect that such transferee is any Person other than a
Disqualified Organization or the agent (including a broker, nominee or
middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate that
acknowledges that (A) the Class R-X Certificates have been designated as
residual interests in three REMICs, (B) it will include in its income a PRO RATA
share of the net income of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an "excess
inclusion," as defined in the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be
offset by other losses or benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects to
have the financial means to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those
relating to holding the Class R-X Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration
in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this
Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker,
nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall be
deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not be
deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited to,
the receipt of distributions in respect of this Certificate.
The Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, shall be
deemed to have consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the Agreement and
to any amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of the Depositor
to ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person other than a
Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause the Trust Fund to cease
to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon the REMIC.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer (if
any) and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the NIMS Insurer (if any) or the Certificate Registrar may treat the
Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS
Insurer (if any), the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected
by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created
thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts
held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement
following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in REMIC I,
and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price
determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage Loans
and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement
permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase
from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right cannot be exercised until the Optional Termination Date.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the
Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by
the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly
executed.

with the Transferee in its financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and if the investments of such
subsidiaries are managed under the Transferee's direction. However, such
securities were not included if the Transferee is a majority-owned, consolidated
subsidiary of another enterprise and the Transferee is not itself a reporting
company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
5. The Transferee acknowledges that it is familiar with Rule 144A and
understands that the Transferor and other parties related to the Certificates
are relying and will continue to rely on the statements made herein because one

own account?
6. If the answer to the foregoing question is "no", the Transferee
agrees that, in connection with any purchase of securities sold to the
Transferee for the account of a third party (including any separate account) in
reliance on Rule 144A, the Transferee will only purchase for the account of a
third party that at the time is a "qualified institutional buyer" within the
meaning of Rule 144A. In addition, the Transferee agrees that the Transferee
will not purchase securities for a third party unless the Transferee has
obtained a current representation letter from such third party or taken other
appropriate steps contemplated by Rule 144A to conclude that such third party
independently meets the definition of "qualified institutional buyer" set forth
in Rule 144A.
7. The Transferee will notify each of the parties to which this
certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein.
Until such notice is given, the Transferee's purchase of the Certificates will
constitute a reaffirmation of this certification as of the date of such
purchase. In addition, if the Transferee is a bank or savings and loan as
provided above, the Transferee agrees that it will furnish to such parties
updated annual financial statements promptly after they become available.

EXHIBIT F-2
FORM OF TRANSFER AFFIDAVIT AND AGREEMENT
STATE OF NEW YORK )
) ss.:
COUNTY OF NEW YORK )
The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:
The undersigned is an officer of ________________________, the proposed
Transferee of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate (the
"CERTIFICATE") issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as
of [_] (the "AGREEMENT"), among Boardwalk Mortgage Securities Inc., as depositor
(the "DEPOSITOR"), [_], as master servicer (the "SERVICER"), and [_], as trustee
(the "TRUSTEE"). Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein or in Exhibit 1
hereto, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement. The
Transferee has authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit on behalf of
the Transferee for the benefit of the Depositor and the Trustee.
1. The Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the
date of the Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its
Ownership Interest in the Certificate for its own account. The Transferee has no
knowledge that any such affidavit is false.
2. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax
will be imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not
Permitted Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if
such Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or
middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and
(iii) the Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for
the tax if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that
such subsequent Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of
Transfer, such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is
false.
3. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will
be imposed on a "pass-through entity" holding the Certificate if at any time
during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a
Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity. The
Transferee understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with
respect to which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an
affidavit that such record holder is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through
entity does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this
purpose, a "pass-through entity" includes a regulated investment company, a real
estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate,
and certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations,
persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another
Person.)
4. The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(c) 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 provisions regarding voiding the
Transfer and mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and
to abide by the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement and the
restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands
and agrees that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall
render the Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.
5. 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.
6. The Transferee has historically paid its debts as they have come
due, intends to pay its debts as they come due in the future, and understands
that the taxes payable with respect to the Certificate may exceed the cash flow
with respect thereto in some or all periods and intends to pay such taxes as
they become due. 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.
7. The Transferee's taxpayer identification number is ___________.
8. The Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code Section
7701(a)(30).
9. The Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a "noneconomic
residual interest" within the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations
promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic
residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the
income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer
was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
10. The Transferee will not cause income from the Certificate to be
attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the
meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Transferee or any other U.S.
person.
11. Check one of the following:
The present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with
holding the Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum of:
(i) the present value of any consideration given to the Transferee
to acquire such Certificate;
(ii) the present value of the expected future distributions on such
Certificate; and
(iii) the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated
with holding such Certificate as the related REMIC generates
losses.
For purposes of this calculation, (i) the Transferee is assumed to pay
tax at the highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code (but
the tax rate in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the
highest rate specified in Section 11(b) of the Code if the Transferee has been
subject to the alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the
preceding two years and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable
year using the alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) present values are
computed using a discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed
by Section 1274(d) of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding
period used by the Transferee.
The transfer of the Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury Regulations
Sections 1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly,
(i) the Transferee is an "eligible corporation," as defined in
U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to
which income from the Certificate will only be taxed in the
United States;
(ii) at the time of the transfer, and at the close of the
Transferee's two fiscal years preceding the year of the
transfer, the Transferee had gross assets for financial
reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a person
related to the Transferee within the meaning of U.S. Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100
million and net assets in excess of $10 million;
(iii) the Transferee will transfer the Certificate only to another
"eligible corporation," as defined in U.S. Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that
satisfies the requirements of Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii)
and (iii) and Section 1.860E-1(c)(5) of the U.S. Treasury
Regulations; and
(iv) the Transferee determined the consideration paid to it to
acquire the Certificate based on reasonable market assumptions
(including, but not limited to, borrowing and investment
rates, prepayment and loss assumptions, expense and
reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and other factors specific
to the Transferee) that it has determined in good faith.
[_] None of the above.
12. The Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject to
Title I of ERISA or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan
subject to any Federal, state or local law that is substantially similar to
Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and the Transferee is not acting
on behalf of or investing plan assets of such a plan.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Transferee has caused this instrument to be
executed on its behalf, pursuant to authority of its Board of Directors, by its
duly authorized officer and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed, duly
attested, this day of , 20 .
