THIS POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of September 1, 2005,
among INDYMAC MBS, INC., a Delaware corporation, as depositor (the
"Depositor"), IndyMac Bank, F.S.B. ("IndyMac"), a federal savings bank, as
seller (in that capacity, the "Seller") and as master servicer (in that
capacity, the "Master Servicer"), and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, a
national banking association, as trustee (the "Trustee"),
W I T N E S S E T H T H A T
In consideration of the mutual agreements set forth in this
Agreement, the parties agree as follows:
P R E L I M I N A R Y S T A T E M E N T
The Depositor is the owner of the Trust Fund that is hereby conveyed
to the Trustee in return for the Certificates. The Trust Fund (exclusive of
the Yield Maintenance Agreement and Yield Maintenance Reserve Fund) for
federal income tax purposes will consist of three REMICs (the "REMIC 1",
"REMIC 2" and the "Master REMIC"). Each Certificate, other than the Class A-R
Certificate, will represent ownership of one or more regular interests in the
Master REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The Class A-R Certificate
represents ownership of the sole class of residual interest in each REMIC
created hereunder. The Master REMIC will hold as assets the REMIC 2 Regular
Interests. The REMIC 2 will hold as assets the REMIC 1 Regular Interests.
REMIC 1 will hold as assets all property of the Trust Fund (exclusive of the
Yield Maintenance Agreement and Yield Maintenance Reserve Fund). For federal
income tax purposes, each Certificate (other than the Class A-R Certificate)
is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Master REMIC and each REMIC
1 Regular Interest and REMIC 2 Regular Interest, as defined below, is
designated as a regular interest in the REMIC 1 and REMIC 2, respectively. The
latest possible maturity date of all REMIC regular interests created in this
Agreement shall be the Latest Possible Maturity Date.
REMIC 1
The REMIC 1 Regular Interests will have the initial principal
balance, Pass-Through Rates and corresponding Loan Groups as set forth in the
following table:
Initial Principal Pass-Through Corresponding
REMIC 1 Interests Balance Rate Loan Group
----------------- ------- ---- ----------
A-1 (0.9% of AB Loan Group 1) (1) 5.50% 1
B-1 (0.1% of AB Loan Group 1) (1) 5.50% 1

X-2 (1) (1) 2
PO-2 (1) 0.00% 2
1-P $100 (2) N/A
R-1 (3) (3) N/A
---------------
(1) Each Class A Interest will have a principal balance initially equal to
0.9% of the Assumed Balance ("AB") of its corresponding Loan Group. Each Class
B Interest will have a principal balance initially
1
equal to 0.1% of the AB of its corresponding Loan Group. The initial principal
balance of each Class C Interest will equal the excess of the Non-PO
Percentage of the initial aggregate principal balance of its corresponding
Loan Group over the initial aggregate principal balances of the Class A and
Class B Interests corresponding to such Loan Group. On each Distribution Date
following the allocation of scheduled principal, prepayments and Realized
Losses, the Class X-1 and X-2 Interests will have the notional balances and
pass through rates of the Class 1-A-X and Class 2-A-X Certificates, and the
Class 1-$100, Class PO-1 and Class PO-2 Interests will have the principal
balances of the Class A-R Certificates and the Class PO-1 and PO-2 Components,
respectively.
(2) The Class 1-P Interests will not bear interest. The Class 1-P will be
entitled to all Prepayment Charges collected in respect of the Mortgage Loans.
(3) The Class R-1 Interest is the sole class of residual interest in REMIC 1.
It has no principal balance and pays no principal or interest.
On each Distribution Date, interest and the Non-PO Percentage of
principal collections shall be distributed with respect to the REMIC 1
Interests in the following manner:
(1) Interest is to be distributed with respect to each REMIC 1 Interest
according to the formulas described above;
(2) If a Cross-Over Situation does not exist with respect to any Class of
Interests, then Principal Amounts and Realized Losses arising with respect to
each Loan Group will be allocated: first to cause the Loan Group's
corresponding Class A and Class B to equal, respectively, 0.9% of the AB and
0.1% of the AB; and second to the Loan Group's corresponding Class C Interest;
(3) If a Cross-Over Situation exists with respect to the Class A and B
Interests then:
(a) if the Calculation Rate in respect of such Class A and Class B
Interests is less than the Pass Through Rate in respect of the
Subordinate Certificates, Principal Relocation Payments will be made
proportionately to the outstanding Class A Interests prior to any
other distributions of principal from each such Loan Group; and
(b) if the Calculation Rate in respect of such outstanding Class A
and Class B Interests is greater than the Pass Through Rate in
respect of the Subordinate Certificates, Principal Relocation
Payments will be made proportionately to the outstanding Class B
Interests prior to any other distributions of principal from each
such Loan Group.
In case of either (a) or (b), Principal Relocation Payments will be made so as
to cause the Calculation Rate in respect of the outstanding Class A and B
Interests to equal the Pass Through Rate in respect of the Subordinate
Certificates. With respect to each Loan Group, if (and to the extent that) the
sum of (a) the principal payments comprising the Principal Amount received
during the Due Period and (b) the Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans in
that Loan Group, are insufficient to make the necessary reductions of
principal on the Class A and B Interests, then interest will be added to the
Loan Group's other REMIC 1 Interests that are not receiving Principal
Relocation Payments, in proportion to their principal balances.
(c) The outstanding aggregate Class A and B Interests will not be
reduced below 1% of the excess of (i) the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the end of any Due Period over
(ii) the Certificate Balance Senior Certificates (excluding the Class
A-R Certificates) as of the related Distribution Date (after taking
into account distributions of principal on such Distribution Date).
2
If (and to the extent that) the limitation in paragraph (c) prevents
the distribution of principal to the Class A and Class B Interests of
a Loan Group, and if the Loan Group's Class C Interest has already
been reduced to zero, then the excess principal from that Loan Group
will be paid to the Class C Interests of the other Loan Group, the
aggregate Class A and Class B Interests of which are less than 1% of
the AB. If the Mortgage Loans in the Loan Group of the Class C
Interest that receives such payment has a Weighted Average Adjusted
Net Mortgage Rate below the Weighted Average Adjusted Net Mortgage
Rate of the Mortgage Loans in the Loan Group making the payment, then
the payment will be treated by the REMIC 1 as a Realized Loss.
Conversely, if the Mortgage Loans in the Loan Group of the Class C
Interest that receives such payment have a Weighted Average Adjusted
Net Mortgage Rate above the Weighted Average Adjusted Net Mortgage
Rate of the Mortgage Loans in the Loan Group making the payment, then
the payment will be treated by the REMIC 1 as a reimbursement for
prior Realized Losses.

Section 1.02 Rules of Construction.
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or unless
the context clearly requires otherwise
(a) References to designated articles, sections, subsections,
exhibits, and other subdivisions of this Agreement, such as "Section 6.12
(a)," refer to the designated article, section, subsection, exhibit, or other
subdivision of this Agreement as a whole and to all subdivisions of the
designated article, section, subsection, exhibit, or other subdivision. The
words "herein," "hereof," "hereto," "hereunder," and other words of similar
import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular article,
section, exhibit, or other subdivision of this Agreement.
(b) Any term that relates to a document or a statute, rule, or
regulation includes any amendments, modifications, supplements, or any other
changes that may have occurred since the document, statute, rule, or
regulation came into being, including changes that occur after the date of
this Agreement.
(c) Any party may execute any of the requirements under this
Agreement either directly or through others, and the right to cause something
to be done rather than doing it directly shall be implicit in every
requirement under this Agreement. Unless a provision is restricted as to time
or limited as to frequency, all provisions under this Agreement are implicitly
available and things may happen from time to time.
40
(d) The term "including" and all its variations mean "including but
not limited to." Except when used in conjunction with the word "either," the
word "or" is always used inclusively (for example, the phrase "A or B" means
"A or B or both," not "either A or B but not both").
(e) A reference to "a [thing]" or "any [of a thing]" does not imply
the existence or occurrence of the thing referred to even though not followed
by "if any," and "any [of a thing]" is any of it. A reference to the plural of
anything as to which there could be either one or more than one does not imply
the existence of more than one (for instance, the phrase "the obligors on a
note" means "the obligor or obligors on a note"). "Until [something occurs]"
does not imply that it must occur, and will not be modified by the word
"unless." The word "due" and the word "payable" are each used in the sense
that the stated time for payment has passed. The word "accrued" is used in its
accounting sense, i.e., an amount paid is no longer accrued. In the
calculation of amounts of things, differences and sums may generally result in
negative numbers, but when the calculation of the excess of one thing over
another results in zero or a negative number, the calculation is disregarded
and an "excess" does not exist. Portions of things may be expressed as
fractions or percentages interchangeably.
(f) All accounting terms used in an accounting context and not
otherwise defined, and accounting terms partly defined in this Agreement, to
the extent not completely defined, shall be construed in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. To the extent that the definitions
of accounting terms in this Agreement are inconsistent with their meanings
under generally accepted accounting principles, the definitions contained in
this Agreement shall control. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement without
definition that are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code are used in this
Agreement as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code.
(g) In the computation of a period of time from a specified date to a
later specified date or an open-ended period, the words "from" and "beginning"
mean "from and including," the word "after" means "from but excluding," the
words "to" and "until" mean "to but excluding," and the word "through" means
"to and including." Likewise, in setting deadlines or other periods, "by"
means "by." The words "preceding," "following," and words of similar import,
mean immediately preceding or following. References to a month or a year refer
to calendar months and calendar years.
(h) Any reference to the enforceability of any agreement against a
party means that it is enforceable, subject as to enforcement against the
party, to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, and other similar
laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and
to general equity principles.

ARTICLE TWO
CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS; REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Section 2.01 Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Seller, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, hereby transfers to the Depositor, without recourse, all the
interest of the Seller in each Mortgage Loan, including all interest and
principal received or receivable by the Seller on each Mortgage Loan after the
Cut-off Date and all interest and principal payments on each Mortgage Loan
received before the Cut-off Date for installments of interest and principal
due after the Cut-off Date but not including payments of principal and
interest due by the Cut-off Date. By the Closing Date, the Seller shall
deliver to the Depositor or, at the Depositor's direction, to the Trustee or
other designee of the Depositor, the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan
listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (except that, in the case of Mortgage
Loans that are Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans, such delivery may take place
within five Business Days of the Closing Date) as of the Closing Date. The
delivery of the Mortgage Files shall be made against payment by the Depositor
of the purchase price, previously agreed to by the Seller and Depositor, for
the Mortgage Loans. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that does not have a
first payment date on or before the Due Date in the month of the first
Distribution Date, the Seller shall deposit into the Distribution Account on
the first Distribution Account Deposit Date an amount equal to one month's
interest at the related Adjusted Mortgage Rate on the Cut-off Date Principal
Balance of such Mortgage Loan. Also on the Closing Date the Depositor shall
deposit $100 into the Certificate Account.
(b) The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery of
this Agreement, hereby transfers to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, without recourse, all the interest of the Depositor in the
Trust Fund, together with the Depositor's right to require the Seller to cure
any breach of a representation or warranty made in this Agreement by the
Seller or to repurchase or substitute for any affected Mortgage Loan in
accordance with this Agreement. The Depositor hereby directs the Trustee to
execute the assignment agreement related to the Yield Maintenance Agreement.
(c) In connection with the transfer and assignment of each Mortgage
Loan, the Depositor has delivered (or, in the case of the Delay Delivery
Mortgage Loans, will deliver to the Trustee within the time periods specified
in the definition of Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans), for the benefit of the
Certificateholders the following documents or instruments with respect to each
Mortgage Loan so assigned:
(i) The original Mortgage Note, endorsed by manual or
facsimile signature in blank in the following form: "Pay to the order
of _______________ ______________without recourse," with all
intervening endorsements showing a complete chain of endorsement from
the originator to the Person endorsing the Mortgage Note (each
endorsement being sufficient to transfer all interest of the party so
endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in that Mortgage Note)
or a lost note affidavit for any Lost Mortgage Note from the Seller
stating that the original Mortgage Note was lost or destroyed,
together with a copy of the Mortgage Note;
(ii) Except as provided below and for each Mortgage Loan
that is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, the original recorded Mortgage or a
copy of such Mortgage certified by the Seller as being a true and
complete copy of the Mortgage (or, in the case of a Mortgage for
which the related Mortgaged Property is located in the Commonwealth
of Puerto Rico, a true copy of the Mortgage certified as such by the
applicable notary) and in the case of each MERS Mortgage Loan, the
original Mortgage, noting the presence of the MIN of the Mortgage
Loan and either language indicating that the Mortgage Loan is a MOM
Loan if the Mortgage Loan is a MOM
42
Loan or if the Mortgage Loan was not a MOM Loan at origination, the
original Mortgage and the assignment thereof to MERS, with evidence
of recording indicated thereon, or a copy of the Mortgage certified
by the public recording office in which such Mortgage has been
recorded;
(iii) In the case of each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS
Mortgage Loan, a duly executed assignment of the Mortgage (which may
be included in a blanket assignment or assignments), together with,
except as provided below, all interim recorded assignments of the
mortgage (each assignment, when duly and validly completed, to be in
recordable form and sufficient to effect the assignment of and
transfer to its assignee of the Mortgage to which the assignment
relates). If the related Mortgage has not been returned from the
applicable public recording office, the assignment of the Mortgage
may exclude the information to be provided by the recording office.
The assignment of Mortgage need not be delivered in the case of a
Mortgage for which the related Mortgage Property is located in the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico;
(iv) The original or copies of each assumption,
modification, written assurance, or substitution agreement;
(v) Except as provided below, the original or duplicate
original lender's title policy and all its riders;
(vi) The originals of the following documents for each
Cooperative Loan:
(A) the Co-op Shares, together with a stock power
in blank;
(B) the executed Security Agreement;
(C) the executed Proprietary Lease;
(D) the executed Recognition Agreement;
(E) the executed UCC-1 financing statement that has
been filed in all places required to perfect the Seller's
interest in the Co-op Shares and the Proprietary Lease with
evidence of recording on it; and
(F) executed UCC-3 financing statements or other
appropriate UCC financing statements required by state law,
evidencing a complete and unbroken line from the mortgagee
to the Trustee with evidence of recording thereon (or in a
form suitable for recordation). If in connection with any
Mortgage Loan the Depositor cannot deliver
(a) the original recorded Mortgage,
(b) all interim recorded assignments, or
(c) the lender's title policy (together with all its
riders).
In addition, in connection with the assignment of any MERS
Mortgage Loan, the Seller agrees that it will cause, at the Seller's expense,
the MERS(R) System to indicate that the Mortgage Loans sold by the Seller to
the Depositor have been assigned by the Seller to the Trustee in accordance
with this Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders by including (or
deleting, in the case of Mortgage
43
Loans that are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer
files the information required by the MERS(R) System to identify the series of
the Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans. The Seller
further agrees that it will not, and will not permit the Master Servicer to,
and the Master Servicer agrees that it will not, alter the information
referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan sold by the
Seller to the Depositor during the term of this Agreement unless and until
such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
In the event that in connection with any Mortgage Loan that is not a
MERS Mortgage Loan the Depositor cannot deliver (a) the original recorded
Mortgage, (b) all interim recorded assignments or (c) the lender's title
policy (together with all riders thereto) satisfying the requirements of
clause (ii), (iii) or (v) above, respectively, concurrently with the execution
and delivery of this Agreement because such document or documents have not
been returned from the applicable public recording office in the case of
clause (ii) or (iii) above, or because the title policy has not been delivered
to either the Master Servicer or the Depositor by the applicable title insurer
in the case of clause (v) above, then the Depositor shall promptly deliver to
the Trustee, in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) above, the original Mortgage
or the interim assignment, as the case may be, with evidence of recording
indicated on when it is received from the public recording office, or a copy
of it, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant recording office and in the
case of clause (v) above, the original or a copy of a written commitment or
interim binder or preliminary report of title issued by the title insurance or
escrow company, with the original or duplicate copy thereof to be delivered to
the Trustee upon receipt thereof. The delivery of the original Mortgage Loan
and each interim assignment or a copy of them, certified, if appropriate, by
the relevant recording office, shall not be made later than one year following
the Closing Date, or, in the case of clause (v) above, later than 120 days
following the Closing Date. If the Depositor is unable to deliver each
Mortgage by that date and each interim assignment because any documents have
not been returned by the appropriate recording office, or, in the case of each
interim assignment, because the related Mortgage has not been returned by the
appropriate recording office, the Depositor shall deliver the documents to the
Trustee as promptly as possible upon their receipt and, in any event, within
720 days following the Closing Date.
The Depositor shall forward to the Trustee (a) from time to time
additional original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of a
Mortgage Loan and (b) any other documents required to be delivered by the
Depositor or the Master Servicer to the Trustee. If the original Mortgage is
not delivered and in connection with the payment in full of the related
Mortgage Loan the public recording office requires the presentation of a "lost
instruments affidavit and indemnity" or any equivalent document, because only
a copy of the Mortgage can be delivered with the instrument of satisfaction or
reconveyance, the Master Servicer shall execute and deliver the required
document to the public recording office. If a public recording office retains
the original recorded Mortgage or if a Mortgage is lost after recordation in a
public recording office, the Seller shall deliver to the Trustee a copy of the
Mortgage certified by the public recording office to be a true and complete
copy of the original recorded Mortgage.
As promptly as practicable after any transfer of a Mortgage Loan
under this Agreement, and in any event within thirty days after the transfer,
the Trustee shall (i) affix the Trustee's name to each assignment of Mortgage,
as its assignee, and (ii) cause to be delivered for recording in the
appropriate public office for real property records the assignments of the
Mortgages to the Trustee, except that, if the Trustee has not received the
information required to deliver any assignment of a Mortgage for recording,
the Trustee shall deliver it as soon as practicable after receipt of the
needed information and in any event within thirty days.
The Trustee need not record any assignment that relates to a Mortgage
Loan (a) the Mortgaged Property and Mortgage File relating to which are
located in California or (b) in any other jurisdiction
44
(including Puerto Rico) under the laws of which, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel delivered by the Seller (at the Seller's expense) to the Trustee,
recording the assignment is not necessary to protect the Trustee's and the
Certificateholders' interest in the related Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall
deliver such Opinion of Counsel within 90 days of the Closing Date.
If any Mortgage Loans have been prepaid in full as of the Closing
Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents to the Trustee,
will deposit in the Certificate Account the portion of the prepayment that is
required to be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.06.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, within
five Business Days after the Closing Date, the Seller shall either
(x) deliver to the Trustee the Mortgage File as required
pursuant to this Section 2.01 for each Delay Delivery
Mortgage Loan or
(y) (A) repurchase the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan or (B)
substitute the Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Delay Delivery
Mortgage Loan, which repurchase or substitution shall be
accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions in
Section 2.03 (treating each such Delay Delivery Mortgage
Loan as a Deleted Mortgage Loan for purposes of such Section
2.03);
provided, however, that if the Seller fails to deliver a Mortgage File for any
Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan within the period specified herein, the Seller
shall use its best reasonable efforts to effect a substitution, rather than a
repurchase of, such Deleted Mortgage Loan and provided further that the cure
period provided for in Section 2.02 or in Section 2.03 shall not apply to the
initial delivery of the Mortgage File for such Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan,
but rather the Seller shall have five (5) Business Days to cure such failure
to deliver. At the end of such period, the Trustee shall send a Delay Delivery
Certification for the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans delivered during such
period in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02.
(d) The Seller agrees to treat the transfer of the Mortgage
Loans to the Depositor as a sale for all tax, accounting, and
regulatory purposes.
(e) The Trust Fund does not intend to acquire or hold any
Mortgage Loan that would violate the representations made by the
Seller set forth in clause (28) of Schedule III.
Section 2.02 Acceptance by the Trustee of the Mortgage
Loans.
The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the documents identified in the
Initial Certification in the form of Exhibit G-1, and declares that it holds
and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it
constituting the Mortgage Files for the Mortgage Loans, and that it holds or
will hold such other assets as are included in the Trust Fund, in trust for
the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.
The Trustee acknowledges that it will maintain possession of the
related Mortgage Notes in the State of California, unless otherwise permitted
by the Rating Agencies. The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver on the
Closing Date to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Seller an Initial
Certification in the form of Exhibit G-1. Based on its review and examination,
and only as to the documents identified in such Initial Certification, the
Trustee acknowledges that such documents appear regular on their face and
relate to such Mortgage Loans. The Trustee shall be under no duty or
obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments,
certificates or other papers to determine that
45
the same are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose
or that they have actually been recorded in the real estate records or that
they are other than what they purport to be on their face.
By the thirtieth day after the Closing Date (or if that day is not a
Business Day, the succeeding Business Day), the Trustee shall deliver to the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, and the Seller a Delay Delivery Certification
with respect to the Mortgage Loans substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2,
with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.
By the ninetieth day after the Closing Date (or if that day is not a
Business Day, the succeeding Business Day), the Trustee shall deliver to the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Seller a Final Certification with
respect to the Mortgage Loans in the form of Exhibit H, with any applicable
exceptions noted thereon.
If, in the course of its review, the Trustee finds any document
constituting a part of a Mortgage File that does not meet the requirements of
Section 2.01, the Trustee shall list such as an exception in the Final
Certification. The Trustee shall not make any determination as to whether (i)
any endorsement is sufficient to transfer all interest of the party so
endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in that Mortgage Note or (ii)
any assignment is in recordable form or is sufficient to effect the assignment
of and transfer to the assignee thereof under the mortgage to which the
assignment relates. The Seller shall promptly correct any defect that
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders
within 90 days from the date it was so notified of the defect and, if the
Seller does not correct the defect within that period, the Seller shall either
(a) substitute for the related Mortgage Loan a Substitute Mortgage Loan, which
substitution shall be accomplished in the pursuant Section 2.03, or (b)
purchase the Mortgage Loan at its Purchase Price from the Trustee within 90
days from the date the Seller was notified of the defect in writing.
If a substitution or purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this
provision is required because of a delay in delivery of any documents by the
appropriate recording office, or there is a dispute between either the Master
Servicer or the Seller and the Trustee over the location or status of the
recorded document, then the substitution or purchase shall occur within 720
days from the Closing Date. In no other case may a substitution or purchase
occur more than 540 days from the Closing Date.
The Trustee shall deliver written notice to each Rating Agency within
270 days from the Closing Date indicating each Mortgage Loan (a) that has not
been returned by the appropriate recording office or (b) as to which there is
a dispute as to location or status of the Mortgage Loan. The notice shall be
delivered every 90 days thereafter until the related Mortgage Loan is returned
to the Trustee. Any substitution pursuant to (a) above or purchase pursuant to
(b) above shall not be effected before the delivery to the Trustee of the
Opinion of Counsel, if required by Section 2.05, and any substitution pursuant
to (a) above shall not be effected before the additional delivery to the
Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit N. No
substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the
Determination Date for the month.
The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by the
Seller in the Certificate Account by the Distribution Account Deposit Date for
the Distribution Date in the month following the month of repurchase and, upon
receipt of the deposit and certification with respect thereto in the form of
Exhibit O, the Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File to the Seller
and shall execute and deliver at the Seller's request any instruments of
transfer or assignment prepared by the Seller, in each case without recourse,
necessary to vest in the Seller, or a designee, the Trustee's interest in any
Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
46
If pursuant to the foregoing provisions the Seller repurchases a
Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall either
(i) cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in
recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Seller and shall
cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS(R) System in
accordance with MERS' rules and regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on
the MERS(R) System the Seller as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.
The Trustee shall retain possession and custody of each Mortgage File
in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Trustee, upon the execution
or receipt thereof, the originals of any other documents or instruments
constituting the Mortgage File that come into the possession of the Master
Servicer from time to time.
The obligation of the Seller to substitute for or to purchase any
Mortgage Loan that does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01 shall
constitute the sole remedy respecting the defect available to the Trustee, the
Depositor, and any Certificateholder against the Seller.
Section 2.03 Representations, Warranties, and Covenants of
the Seller and the Master Servicer.
(a) IndyMac, in its capacities as Seller and Master Servicer, makes
the representations and warranties in Schedule II, and by this reference
incorporated in this Agreement, to the Depositor and the Trustee, as of the
Closing Date.
(b) The Seller, in its capacity as Seller, makes the representations
and warranties in Schedule III, and by this reference incorporated in this
Agreement, to the Depositor and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or if so
specified in Schedule III, as of the Cut-off Date.
(c) Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a
representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 2.03(b) that materially
and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage
Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt notice thereof to
the other parties. The Seller covenants that within 90 days of the earlier of
its discovery or its receipt of written notice from any party of a breach of
any representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 2.03(b) which
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in
any Mortgage Loan, it shall cure such breach in all material respects, and if
such breach is not so cured, shall, (i) if the 90-day period expires before
the second anniversary of the Closing Date, remove the Mortgage Loan (a
"Deleted Mortgage Loan") from the Trust Fund and substitute in its place a
Substitute Mortgage Loan, in accordance with this Section 2.03; or (ii)
repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans from the Trustee at
the Purchase Price in the manner set forth below. Any substitution pursuant to
(i) above shall not be effected before the delivery to the Trustee of the
Opinion of Counsel, if required by Section 2.05, and a Request for Release
substantially in the form of Exhibit N, and the Mortgage File for any
Substitute Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall promptly reimburse the Master
Servicer and the Trustee for any expenses reasonably incurred by the Master
Servicer or the Trustee in respect of enforcing the remedies for the breach.
With respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Seller
shall deliver to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders the
Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related assignment of the Mortgage, and such
other documents and agreements as are required by Section 2.01, with the
Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as required by Section 2.01.
No substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the
Determination Date for such month. Scheduled Payments due with respect to
Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall not be part of
the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Seller on the next succeeding
Distribution Date. For the month of substitution,
47
distributions to Certificateholders will include the monthly payment due on
any Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter the Seller shall be
entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage
Loan.
The Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the
benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of the Deleted
Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Substitute Mortgage Loans and the
Master Servicer shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the
Trustee. Upon the substitution, the Substitute Mortgage Loans shall be subject
to this Agreement in all respects, and the Seller shall be deemed to have made
with respect to the Substitute Mortgage Loans, as of the date of substitution,
the representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 2.03(b) with
respect to the Mortgage Loan. Upon any substitution and the deposit to the
Certificate Account of the amount required to be deposited therein in
connection with the substitution as described in the following paragraph, the
Trustee shall release the Mortgage File held for the benefit of the
Certificateholders relating to the Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Seller and
shall execute and deliver at the Seller's direction such instruments of
transfer or assignment prepared by the Seller, in each case without recourse,
as shall be necessary to vest title in the Seller, or its designee, the
Trustee's interest in any Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted for pursuant to
this Section 2.03.
For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Substitute
Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer
will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of
all such Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans
(after application of the scheduled principal portion of the monthly payments
due in the month of substitution). The amount of such shortage (the
"Substitution Adjustment Amount") plus, if the Seller is not the Master
Servicer, an amount equal to the aggregate of any unreimbursed Advances and
Servicer Advances with respect to such Deleted Mortgage Loans shall be
deposited into the Certificate Account by the Seller by the Distribution
Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month succeeding the
calendar month during which the related Mortgage Loan became required to be
purchased or replaced hereunder. If the Seller repurchases a Mortgage Loan,
the Purchase Price therefor shall be deposited in the Certificate Account
pursuant to Section 3.06 by the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the
Distribution Date in the month following the month during which the Seller
became obligated hereunder to repurchase or replace the Mortgage Loan and upon
such deposit of the Purchase Price and receipt of a Request for Release in the
form of Exhibit N, the Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File held
for the benefit of the Certificateholders to such Person, and the Trustee
shall execute and deliver at such Person's direction such instruments of
transfer or assignment prepared by such Person, in each case without recourse,
as shall be necessary to transfer title from the Trustee. The obligation under
this Agreement of any Person to cure, repurchase, or replace any Mortgage Loan
as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole
remedy against the Person respecting the breach available to
Certificateholders, the Depositor, or the Trustee on their behalf.
The representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section 2.03
shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders.
Section 2.04 Representations and Warranties of the Depositor as to
the Mortgage Loans.
The Depositor represents and warrants to the Trustee with respect to
each Mortgage Loan as of the date of this Agreement or such other date set
forth in this Agreement that as of the Closing Date, and following the
transfer of the Mortgage Loans to it by the Seller, the Depositor had good
title to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Notes were subject to no offsets,
defenses, or counterclaims.
48
The representations and warranties in this Section 2.04 shall survive
delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Trustee. Upon discovery by the Depositor
or the Trustee of any breach of any of the representations and warranties in
this Section that materially and adversely affects the interest of the
Certificateholders, the party discovering the breach shall give prompt written
notice to the others and to each Rating Agency.
Section 2.05 Delivery of Opinion of Counsel in Connection with
Substitutions.
(a) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no
substitution pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 shall be made more than 90 days
after the Closing Date unless the Seller delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be at the expense of either the
Trustee or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect that such
substitution will not (i) result in the imposition of the tax on "prohibited
transactions" on the Trust Fund or contributions after the Startup Date, as
defined in sections 860F(a)(2) and 860G(d) of the Code, respectively or (ii)
cause any REMIC created under this Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC at
any time that any Certificates are outstanding.
(b) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer
or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a "qualified
mortgage" within the meaning of section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party
discovering such fact shall promptly (and in any event within five Business
Days of discovery) give written notice thereof to the other parties. In
connection therewith, the Trustee shall require the Seller, at the Seller's
option, to either (i) substitute, if the conditions in Section 2.03(c) with
respect to substitutions are satisfied, a Substitute Mortgage Loan for the
affected Mortgage Loan, or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan within
90 days of such discovery in the same manner as it would a Mortgage Loan for a
breach of representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 2.03. The
Trustee shall reconvey to the Seller the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant
hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a
Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty contained
in Section 2.03.
Section 2.06 Execution and Delivery of Certificates.
The Trustee acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the
Trust Fund and, concurrently with such transfer and assignment, has executed
and delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, the Certificates in
authorized denominations evidencing directly or indirectly the entire
ownership of the Trust Fund. The Trustee agrees to hold the Trust Fund and
exercise the rights referred to above for the benefit of all present and
future Holders of the Certificates.
Section 2.07 REMIC Matters.
The Preliminary Statement sets forth the designations and "latest
possible maturity date" for federal income tax purposes of all interests
created under this Agreement. The "Startup Day" for purposes of the REMIC
Provisions shall be the Closing Date. Each REMIC's fiscal year shall be the
calendar year.

ARTICLE THREE
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 3.01 Master Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans.
For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer
shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this
Agreement and the Servicing Standard.
The Master Servicer shall not make or permit any modification,
waiver, or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would cause any
REMIC created under this Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in
the imposition of any tax under section 860F(a) or section 860G(d) of the
Code.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master
Servicer, in its own name or in the name of the Depositor and the Trustee, is
hereby authorized and empowered by the Depositor and the Trustee, when the
Master Servicer believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment, to execute
and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificateholders,
or any of them, any instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial
or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans, and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties
held for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall
prepare and deliver to the Depositor or the Trustee any documents requiring
execution and delivery by either or both of them appropriate to enable the
Master Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans to the extent
that the Master Servicer is not permitted to execute and deliver such
documents pursuant to the preceding sentence. Upon receipt of the documents,
the Depositor or the Trustee shall execute the documents and deliver them to
the Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer further is authorized and empowered by the
Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name
or in the name of the Subservicer, when the Master Servicer or the
Subservicer, as the case may be, believes it appropriate in its best judgment
to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R) System, or cause the removal from
the registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R) System, to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them,
any and all instruments of assignment and other comparable instruments with
respect to such assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS,
solely as nominee for the Trustee and its successors and assigns.
In accordance with and to the extent of the Servicing Standard, the
Master Servicer shall advance funds necessary to effect the payment of taxes
and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be
reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the
Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.07, and further as provided in Section 3.09.
The costs incurred by the Master Servicer in effecting the timely payments of
taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties and related insurance
premiums shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to
the Certificateholders, be added to the Stated Principal Balances of the
related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the Mortgage Loans so permit.
Section 3.02 Subservicing; Enforcement of the Obligations of
Subservicers.
(a) The Master Servicer may arrange for the subservicing of any
Mortgage Loan by a subservicer pursuant to a subservicing agreement (a
"Subservicer"). The subservicing arrangement and the related subservicing
agreement must provide for the servicing of the Mortgage Loans in a manner
consistent with the servicing arrangements contemplated hereunder. Unless the
context otherwise requires, references in this Agreement to actions taken or
to be taken by the Master Servicer in servicing the Mortgage Loans
50
include actions taken or to be taken by a Subservicer on behalf of the Master
Servicer. Notwithstanding anything in any subservicing agreement or this
Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer
and a Subservicer or references to actions taken through a Subservicer or
otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the
Trustee and Certificateholders for the servicing and administration of the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement without diminution of its
obligation or liability by virtue of the subservicing agreements or
arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Subservicer and to the
same extent and under the same terms as if the Master Servicer alone were
servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. All actions of each
Subservicer performed pursuant to the related subservicing agreement shall be
performed as agent of the Master Servicer with the same effect as if performed
directly by the Master Servicer.
(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be
deemed to have received any collections, recoveries, or payments with respect
to the Mortgage Loans that are received by the Subservicer regardless of
whether the payments are remitted by the Subservicer to the Master Servicer.
Section 3.03 Rights of the Depositor and the Trustee in Respect of
the Master Servicer.
The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations
of the Master Servicer 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 and in connection with any such defaulted
obligation to exercise the related 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. Neither the Trustee nor the Depositor shall have
any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Master
Servicer nor shall the Trustee or the Depositor be obligated to supervise the
performance of the Master Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.
Section 3.04 No Contractual Relationship Between Subservicers and the
Trustee.
Any subservicing arrangement that may be entered into and any other
transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a
Subservicer in its capacity as such and not as an originator shall be deemed
to be solely between the Subservicer and the Master Servicer alone, and the
Trustee and Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall
have no claims, rights, obligations, duties, or liabilities with respect to
the Subservicer in its capacity as such except as set forth in Section 3.05.
Section 3.05 Trustee to Act as Master Servicer.
If the Master Servicer for any reason is no longer the Master
Servicer under this Agreement (including because of the occurrence or
existence of an Event of Default), the Trustee or its successor shall assume
all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement
arising thereafter (except that the Trustee shall not be
(i) liable for losses of the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.10 or any acts or omissions of the predecessor Master
Servicer hereunder,
(ii) obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from
doing so by applicable law,
(iii) obligated to effectuate repurchases or substitutions
of Mortgage Loans hereunder, including repurchases or substitutions
pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03,
(iv) responsible for expenses of the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 2.03, or
51
(v) deemed to have made any representations and warranties
of the Master Servicer hereunder). Any assumption shall be subject to
Section 7.02.
Every subservicing agreement entered into by the Master Servicer
shall contain a provision giving the successor Master Servicer the option to
terminate the agreement if a successor Master Servicer is appointed.
If the Master Servicer is no longer the Master Servicer for any
reason (including because the occurrence or existence of any Event of
Default), the Trustee (or any other successor Master Servicer) may, at its
option, succeed to any rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under any
subservicing agreement in accordance with its terms. The Trustee (or any other
successor Master Servicer) shall not incur any liability or have any
obligations in its capacity as successor Master Servicer under a subservicing
agreement arising before the date of succession unless it expressly elects to
succeed to the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer thereunder; and
the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or
obligations under the subservicing agreement arising before the date of
succession.
The Master Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the
expense of the Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents
and records relating to each subservicing agreement and the Mortgage Loans
then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts collected held by
it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient
transfer of the subservicing agreement to the assuming party.
Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, in
no event shall the Trustee be liable for any servicing fee or for any
differential in the amount of the Servicing Fee paid under this Agreement and
the amount necessary to induce any successor Master Servicer to act as
successor Master Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions provided
for in this Agreement.
Section 3.06 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments; Servicing
Accounts; Collection Account; Certificate Account; Distribution
Account; Yield Maintenance Reserve Fund.
(a) In accordance with and to the extent of the Servicing Standard,
the Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts in accordance with the
customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage servicers to
collect all payments called for under the Mortgage Loans to the extent the
procedures are consistent with this Agreement and any related Required
Insurance Policy. Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may in
its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or, subject to Section 3.21,
any Prepayment Charge in connection with the prepayment of a Mortgage Loan and
(ii) extend the due dates for payments due on a Delinquent Mortgage Loan for a
period not greater than 125 days. In connection with a seriously delinquent or
defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer may, consistent with the
Servicing Standard, waive, modify or vary any term of that Mortgage Loan
(including modifications that change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of
principal or interest or extend the final maturity date of that Mortgage Loan
), accept payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated
Principal Balance in final satisfaction of that Mortgage Loan, or consent to
the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant
indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Master Servicer's determination such
waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to
the interests of the Certificateholders (taking into account any estimated
loss that might result absent such action) and is expected to minimize the
loss on such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, the Master Servicer shall not
initiate new lending to such Mortgagor through the Trust and cannot, except as
provided in the immediately succeeding sentence, extend the maturity of any
Mortgage Loan past the date on which the final payment is due on the latest
maturing Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date. With respect to no more than 5%
of the Mortgage Loans (measured by aggregate Cut-off Date
52
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans), the Master Servicer may extend the
maturity of a Mortgage Loan past the date on which the final payment is due on
the latest maturing Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date, but in no event more
than one year past such date. In the event of any such arrangement, the Master
Servicer shall make Advances on the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with
Section 4.01 during the scheduled period in accordance with the amortization
schedule of the Mortgage Loan without modification thereof because of the
arrangements. The Master Servicer shall not be required to institute or join
in litigation with respect to collection of any payment (whether under a
Mortgage, Mortgage Note, or otherwise or against any public or governmental
authority with respect to a taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes
that enforcing the provision of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to
which the payment is required is prohibited by applicable law. The Master
Servicer shall not have the discretion to sell any Delinquent or defaulted
Mortgage Loan.
(b) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain (or, if a
Mortgage Loan is subserviced by another Person, cause the related Subservicer
to establish and maintain) one or more Servicing Accounts (the "Servicing
Account") into which the Master Servicer shall deposit on a daily basis within
one Business Day of receipt, the following payments and collections received
by it or remitted by any Subservicer in respect of Mortgage Loans after the
Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest due on the
Mortgage Loans by the Cut-off Date):
(i) all payments on account of principal on the Mortgage
Loans, including Principal Prepayments;
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage
Loans, net of the related Servicing Fee; and
(iii) all Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and
Liquidation Proceeds, other than proceeds to be applied to the
restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the
Mortgagor in accordance with the Master Servicer's normal servicing
procedures.
By the Withdrawal Date in each calendar month, the Master Servicer
shall (a) withdraw from the Servicing Account all amounts on deposit therein
pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above (other than amounts attributable to a
Principal Prepayment in Full) and (b) deposit such amounts in the Collection
Account.
By the Business Day in each calendar month following the deposit in
the Servicing Account of amounts on deposit therein pursuant to clause (iii)
above or pursuant to any Principal Prepayment in Full, the Master Servicer
shall (a) withdraw such amounts from the Servicing Account and (b) deposit
such amounts in the Collection Account.
(c) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain a Collection
Account (the "Collection Account") into which the Master Servicer shall
deposit, as and when required by paragraph (b) of this Section 3.06, all
amounts required to be deposited into the Collection Account pursuant to that
paragraph. The Collection Account shall be an Eligible Account held for the
benefit of the Certificateholders.
(d) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain a Certificate
Account into which the Master Servicer shall deposit on a daily basis (i)
within one Business Day of deposit in the Collection Account (in the case of
items (i) through (iii) below) and (2) within one Business Day of receipt (in
the case of all other items), except as otherwise specified herein, the
following payments and collections received by it or remitted by any
Subservicer in respect of Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off Date (other than in
respect of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans by the Cut-off
Date) and the following amounts required to be deposited hereunder:
53
(i) all payments on account of principal on the Mortgage
Loans, including Principal Prepayments;
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage
Loans, net of the Servicing Fee;
(iii) all Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and
Liquidation Proceeds, other than proceeds to be applied to the
restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the
Mortgagor in accordance with the Master Servicer's normal servicing
procedures;
(iv) any amount required to be deposited by the Master
Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06(f) in connection with any losses on
Permitted Investments;
(v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master
Servicer pursuant to Sections 3.10 and 3.12;
(vi) all Purchase Prices from the Master Servicer or Seller
and all Substitution Adjustment Amounts;
(vii) all Advances made by the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 4.01;
(viii) any other amounts required to be deposited under this
Agreement; and
(ix) all Prepayment Charges collected.
In addition, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is subject to a
buydown agreement, on each Due Date for the Mortgage Loan, in addition to the
monthly payment remitted by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall cause
funds to be deposited into the Certificate Account in an amount required to
cause an amount of interest to be paid with respect to the Mortgage Loan equal
to the amount of interest that has accrued on the Mortgage Loan from the
preceding Due Date at the Mortgage Rate net of the Servicing Fee Rate on that
date.
The foregoing requirements for remittance by the Master Servicer
shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges or
assumption fees, if collected, need not be remitted by the Master Servicer. If
the Master Servicer remits any amount not required to be remitted, it may at
any time withdraw that amount from the Certificate Account, any provision in
this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding. The withdrawal or direction
may be accomplished by delivering written notice of it to the Trustee or any
other institution maintaining the Certificate Account that describes the
amounts deposited in error in the Certificate Account. The Master Servicer
shall maintain adequate records with respect to all withdrawals made pursuant
to this Section 3.06. All funds deposited in the Certificate Account shall be
held in trust for the Certificateholders until withdrawn in accordance with
Section 3.09.
(e) The Trustee shall establish and maintain the Distribution Account
on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Trustee shall, promptly upon receipt,
deposit in the Distribution Account and retain in the Distribution Account the
following:
(i) the aggregate amount remitted by the Master Servicer to
the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.09(a);
54
(ii) any amount deposited by the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.06(f) in connection with any losses on Permitted
Investments; and
(iii) any other amounts deposited under this Agreement that
are required to be deposited in the Distribution Account.
If the Master Servicer remits any amount not required to be remitted,
it may at any time direct the Trustee in writing to withdraw that amount from
the Distribution Account, any provision in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding. The direction may be accomplished by delivering an Officer's
Certificate to the Trustee that describes the amounts deposited in error in
the Distribution Account. All funds deposited in the Distribution Account
shall be held by the Trustee in trust for the Certificateholders until
disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with
Section 3.09. In no event shall the Trustee incur liability for withdrawals
from the Distribution Account at the direction of the Master Servicer.
(f) Each institution at which the Certificate Account is maintained
shall invest the funds in such account as directed in writing by the Master
Servicer in Permitted Investments, which shall mature not later than the
second Business Day preceding the related Distribution Account Deposit Date
(except that if the Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution
that maintains the account, then the Permitted Investment shall mature not
later than the Business Day preceding the Distribution Account Deposit Date)
and which shall not be sold or disposed of before its maturity. The funds in
the Distribution Account shall remain uninvested. All such Permitted
Investments shall be made in the name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. All income realized from any such investment of funds on
deposit in the Certificate Account shall be for the benefit of the Master
Servicer as servicing compensation and shall be remitted to it monthly as
provided in this Agreement. The amount of any realized losses on Permitted
Investments in the Certificate Account shall promptly be deposited by the
Master Servicer in the Certificate Account. The Trustee shall not be liable
for the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any investment or lack of
investment of funds held in the Certificate Account and made in accordance
with this Section 3.06.
(g) (i) On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain
in its name, in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Class 1-A-1
Certificates, a Yield Maintenance Reserve Fund. The Yield Maintenance Reserve
Fund shall be an Eligible Account, and funds on deposit in the account shall
be held separate and apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other
moneys, including without limitation, other moneys held by the Trustee
pursuant to this Agreement.
(ii) The Trustee shall deposit in the Yield Maintenance
Reserve Fund all amounts received from the Cap Counterparty on any
applicable Distribution Date pursuant to the Yield Maintenance
Agreement. If the Trustee shall also deposit into the Yield
Maintenance Reserve Fund any amount not required to be deposited in
that account, it may at any time withdraw such amount from that Yield
Maintenance Reserve Fund, any provision in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding. Funds in the Yield Maintenance Reserve Fund
shall be held uninvested. The Trustee shall account for the Yield
Maintenance Reserve Fund as an outside reserve fund within the
meaning of Treasury regulation 1.860G-2(h) and not an asset of any
REMIC created pursuant to this Agreement.
(iii) Amounts on deposit in the Yield Maintenance Reserve
Fund shall be withdrawn by the Trustee to make distributions pursuant
to Section 4.07 exclusively (other than as expressly provided in
Section 3.09). `
(h) The Master Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Seller,
each Rating Agency and the Depositor of any proposed change of the location of
the Certificate Account not later than 30 days and not
55
more than 45 days prior to any change of this Agreement. The Trustee shall
give notice to the Master Servicer, the Seller, each Rating Agency and the
Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the Distribution Account
not later than 30 days and not more than 45 days prior to any change of this
Agreement.
Section 3.07 Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items;
Escrow Accounts.
(a) To the extent required by the related Mortgage Note and not
violative of current law, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one
or more accounts (each, an "Escrow Account") and deposit and retain therein
all collections from the Mortgagors (or advances) for the payment of taxes,
assessments, hazard insurance premiums or comparable items for the account of
the Mortgagors. Nothing herein shall require the Master Servicer to compel a
Mortgagor to establish an Escrow Account in violation of applicable law.
(b) Withdrawals of amounts so collected from the Escrow Accounts may
be made only to effect timely payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance
premiums, condominium or PUD association dues, or comparable items, to
reimburse (without duplication) the Master Servicer out of related collections
for any payments made pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to taxes and
assessments and insurance premiums) and Section 3.10 (with respect to hazard
insurance), to refund to any Mortgagors any sums determined to be overages, to
pay interest, if required by law or the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note, to
Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account or to clear and terminate the
Escrow Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section
9.01. The Escrow Accounts shall not be a part of the Trust Fund.
(c) The Master Servicer shall advance any payments referred to in
Section 3.07(a) that are not timely paid by the Mortgagors or advanced by the
Master Servicer on the date when the tax, premium or other cost for which such
payment is intended is due, but the Master Servicer shall be required so to
advance only to the extent that such advances, in the good faith judgment of
the Master Servicer, will be recoverable by the Master Servicer out of
Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise.
Section 3.08 Access to Certain Documentation and Information
Regarding the Mortgage Loans.
The Master Servicer shall afford the Depositor and the Trustee
reasonable access to all records and documentation regarding the Mortgage
Loans and all accounts, insurance information and other matters relating to
this Agreement, such access being afforded without charge, but only upon
reasonable request and during normal business hours at the office designated
by the Master Servicer.
Upon reasonable advance notice in writing, the Master Servicer will
provide to each Certificateholder or Certificate Owner that is a savings and
loan association, bank, or insurance company certain reports and reasonable
access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans
sufficient to permit the Certificateholder or Certificate Owner to comply with
applicable regulations of the OTS or other regulatory authorities with respect
to investment in the Certificates. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed by each such Certificateholder or Certificate Owner for actual
expenses incurred by the Master Servicer in providing the reports and access.
Section 3.09 Permitted Withdrawals from the Certificate Account, the
Distribution Account and the Yield Maintenance Reserve Fund.
(a) The Master Servicer may (and, in the case of clause (ix) below,
shall) from time to time make withdrawals from the Certificate Account for the
following purposes:
56

(to the extent not previously retained) the servicing compensation to

to Section 3.01 or Section 3.07 and (b) for unpaid Servicing Fees as
provided in Section 3.12;
(vi) to pay to the purchaser, with respect to each Mortgage

The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a
Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, to justify any withdrawal from the
Certificate Account pursuant to subclauses (i), (ii), (iv), (v), and (vi).
Before making any withdrawal from the Certificate Account pursuant to
subclause (iii), the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer's
Certificate of a Servicing Officer indicating the amount of any previous
Advance determined by the Master Servicer to be a Nonrecoverable Advance and
identifying the related Mortgage Loans and their respective portions of the
Nonrecoverable Advance.
(b) The Trustee shall withdraw funds from the Distribution Account
for distributions to Certificateholders in the manner specified in this
Agreement (and to withhold from the amounts so withdrawn the amount of any
taxes that it is authorized to withhold pursuant to the last paragraph of
57
Section 8.11). In addition, the Trustee may from time to time make withdrawals
from the Distribution Account for the following purposes:
(i) to pay to itself the Trustee Fee for the related
Distribution Date;
(ii) to withdraw and return to the Master Servicer any
amount deposited in the Distribution Account and not required to be
deposited therein; and
(iii) to clear and terminate the Distribution Account upon
termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01.
(c) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall make withdrawals
from the Yield Maintenance Reserve Fund in the manner specified in Section
4.07 (and to withhold from the amounts so withdrawn the amount of any taxes

(ii) to clear and terminate the Yield Maintenance Reserve
Fund upon the earlier of (x) the reduction of the Class Certificate
Balance of the Class 1-A-1 Certificates to zero, (y) on the scheduled
termination date of the Yield Maintenance Agreement and (z) the
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01.
Section 3.10 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance; Maintenance of Primary
Insurance Policies.
(a) The Master Servicer shall maintain, for each Mortgage Loan,
hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount that is at least equal to
the lesser of
(i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing
the Mortgage Loan and
(ii) the greater of (y) the outstanding principal balance of
the Mortgage Loan and (z) an amount such that the proceeds of the
policy are sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor or the mortgagee from
becoming a co-insurer.
Each policy of standard hazard insurance shall contain, or have an
accompanying endorsement that contains, a standard mortgagee clause. Any
amounts collected under the policies (other than the amounts to be applied to
the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or amounts
released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Master Servicer's normal
servicing procedures) shall be deposited in the Certificate Account. Any cost
incurred in maintaining any insurance shall not, for the purpose of
calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders or remittances to
the Trustee for their benefit, be added to the principal balance of the
Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the Mortgage Loan so permits. Such costs
shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer out of late payments by the
related Mortgagor or out of Liquidation Proceeds to the extent permitted by
Section 3.09. No earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of
any Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of a Mortgage
other than pursuant to any applicable laws and regulations in force that
require additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property is located at the time
of origination of the Mortgage Loan in a federally designated special flood
hazard area and the area is participating in the national flood insurance
program, the Master Servicer shall maintain flood insurance for the Mortgage
Loan. The flood
58
insurance shall be in an amount equal to the least of (i) the original
principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the replacement value of
the improvements that are part of the Mortgaged Property, and (iii) the
maximum amount of flood insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property
under the national flood insurance program.
If the Master Servicer obtains and maintains a blanket policy
insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall have
satisfied its obligations in the first sentence of this Section 3.10. The
policy may contain a deductible clause on terms substantially equivalent to
those commercially available and maintained by comparable servicers. If the
policy contains a deductible clause and a policy complying with the first
sentence of this Section 3.10 has not been maintained on the related Mortgaged
Property, and if a loss that would have been covered by the required policy
occurs, the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Certificate Account, without
any right of reimbursement, the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket
policy because of the deductible clause. In connection with its activities as
Master Servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to present,
on behalf of itself, the Depositor, and the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, claims under any blanket policy.
(b) The Master Servicer shall not take any action that would result
in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Insurance Policy of any loss
that, but for the actions of the Master Servicer, would have been covered
thereunder. The Master Servicer shall not cancel or refuse to renew any
Primary Insurance Policy that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance
of the Certificates and is required to be kept in force hereunder unless the
replacement Primary Insurance Policy for the canceled or non-renewed policy is
maintained with a Qualified Insurer. The Master Servicer need not maintain any
Primary Insurance Policy if maintaining the Primary Insurance Policy is
prohibited by applicable law. The Master Servicer agrees, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, to effect the timely payment of the premiums on
each Primary Insurance Policy, and any costs not otherwise recoverable shall
be recoverable by the Master Servicer from the related liquidation proceeds.
In connection with its activities as Master Servicer of the Mortgage
Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee
and the Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary Insurance
Policies and, in this regard, to take any reasonable action in accordance with
the Servicing Standard necessary to permit recovery under any Primary
Insurance Policies respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Any amounts collected
by the Master Servicer under any Primary Insurance Policies shall be deposited
in the Certificate Account or the Collection Account (as applicable).
Section 3.11 Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.11, when any
property subject to a Mortgage has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Master
Servicer shall to the extent that it has knowledge of the conveyance and in
accordance with the Servicing Standard, enforce any due-on-sale clause
contained in any Mortgage Note or Mortgage, to the extent permitted under
applicable law and governmental regulations, but only to the extent that
enforcement will not adversely affect or jeopardize coverage under any
Required Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer
is not required to exercise these rights with respect to a Mortgage Loan if
the Person to whom the related Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is
proposed to be conveyed satisfies the conditions contained in the Mortgage
Note and Mortgage related thereto and the consent of the mortgagee under the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage is not otherwise so required under the Mortgage Note
or Mortgage as a condition to the transfer.
If (i) the Master Servicer is prohibited by law from enforcing any
due-on-sale clause, (ii) coverage under any Required Insurance Policy would be
adversely affected, (iii) the Mortgage Note does not include a due-on-sale
clause, or (iv) nonenforcement is otherwise permitted hereunder, the Master
59
Servicer is authorized, subject to Section 3.11(b), to take or enter into an
assumption and modification agreement from or with the person to whom the
property has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which the person
becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable
state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Mortgage Loan must
continue to be covered (if so covered before the Master Servicer enters into
the agreement) by the applicable Required Insurance Policies.
The Master Servicer, subject to Section 3.11(b), is also authorized
with the prior approval of the insurers under any Required Insurance Policies
to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the Person, pursuant
to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and the Person is
substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not be deemed to be
in default under this Section 3.11 because of any transfer or assumption that
the Master Servicer reasonably believes it is restricted by law from
preventing, for any reason whatsoever.
(b) Subject to the Master Servicer's duty to enforce any due-on-sale
clause to the extent set forth in Section 3.11(a), in any case in which a
Mortgaged Property has been conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor, and the
Person is to enter into an assumption agreement or modification agreement or
supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage that requires the signature of the
Trustee, or if an instrument of release signed by the Trustee is required
releasing the Mortgagor from liability on the Mortgage Loan, the Master
Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Trustee for signature and shall
direct the Trustee, in writing, to execute the assumption agreement with the
Person to whom the Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed, and the modification
agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or other instruments
appropriate to carry out the terms of the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or
otherwise to comply with any applicable laws regarding assumptions or the
transfer of the Mortgaged Property to the Person. In connection with any such
assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note may be changed.
In addition, the substitute Mortgagor and the Mortgaged Property must
be acceptable to the Master Servicer in accordance with its underwriting
standards as then in effect. Together with each substitution, assumption, or
other agreement or instrument delivered to the Trustee for execution by it,
the Master Servicer shall deliver an Officer's Certificate signed by a
Servicing Officer stating that the requirements of this subsection have been
met in connection with such Officer's Certificate. The Master Servicer shall
notify the Trustee that any substitution or assumption agreement has been
completed by forwarding to the Trustee the original of the substitution or
assumption agreement, which in the case of the original shall be added to the
related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of the
Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments
constituting a part of the Mortgage File. The Master Servicer will retain any
fee collected by it for entering into an assumption or substitution of
liability agreement as additional master servicing compensation.
Section 3.12 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with
the Servicing Standard to foreclose on or otherwise comparably convert the
ownership of assets securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and
continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made
for collection of delinquent payments. In connection with the foreclosure or
other conversion, the Master Servicer shall follow the Servicing Standard and
shall follow the requirements of the insurer under any Required Insurance
Policy. The Master Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds in
connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration of any property
unless it determines (i) that the restoration or foreclosure will increase the
proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself of
restoration expenses and (ii) that restoration expenses will be recoverable to
it through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for
purposes of withdrawals from
60
the Certificate Account). The Master Servicer shall be responsible for all
other costs and expenses incurred by it in any foreclosure proceedings. The
Master Servicer is entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from
the liquidation proceeds with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, as
provided in the definition of Liquidation Proceeds. If the Master Servicer has
knowledge that a Mortgaged Property that the Master Servicer is contemplating
acquiring in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is located within a
one mile radius of any site listed in the Expenditure Plan for the Hazardous
Substance Clean Up Bond Act of 1984 or other site with environmental or
hazardous waste risks known to the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer will,
before acquiring the Mortgaged Property, consider the risks and only take
action in accordance with its established environmental review procedures.
With respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale
shall be taken in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, or its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The
Trustee's name shall be placed on the title to the REO Property solely as the
Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity. The Master Servicer
shall ensure that the title to the REO Property references the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and the Trustee's capacity hereunder. Pursuant to its
efforts to sell the REO Property, the Master Servicer shall either itself or
through an agent selected by the Master Servicer protect and conserve the REO
Property in accordance with the Servicing Standard.
The Master Servicer shall perform the tax reporting and withholding
required by sections 1445 and 6050J of the Code with respect to foreclosures
and abandonments, the tax reporting required by section 6050H of the Code with
respect to the receipt of mortgage interest from individuals and, if required
by section 6050P of the Code with respect to the cancellation of indebtedness
by certain financial entities, by preparing any required tax and information
returns, in the form required.
If the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as aforesaid or
otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan,
the REO Property shall only be held temporarily, shall be actively marketed
for sale, and the Master Servicer shall dispose of the Mortgaged Property as
soon as practicable, and in any case before the end of the third calendar year
following the calendar year in which the Trust Fund acquires the property.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property
acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be
rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the
Trust Fund.
The decision of the Master Servicer to foreclose on a defaulted
Mortgage Loan shall be subject to a determination by the Master Servicer that
the proceeds of the foreclosure would exceed the costs and expenses of
bringing a foreclosure proceeding. The proceeds received from the maintenance
of any REO Properties, net of reimbursement to the Master Servicer for costs
incurred (including any property or other taxes) in connection with
maintenance of the REO Properties and net of unreimbursed Servicing Fees,
Advances, and Servicing Advances, shall be applied to the payment of principal
of and interest on the related defaulted Mortgage Loans (with interest
accruing as though the Mortgage Loans were still current and adjustments, if
applicable, to the Mortgage Rate were being made in accordance with the
Mortgage Note) and all such proceeds shall be deemed, for all purposes in this
Agreement, to be payments on account of principal and interest on the related
Mortgage Notes and shall be deposited into the Certificate Account. To the
extent the net proceeds received during any calendar month exceeds the amount
attributable to amortizing principal and accrued interest at the related
Mortgage Rate on the related Mortgage Loan for the calendar month, the excess
shall be considered to be a partial prepayment of principal of the related
Mortgage Loan.
The proceeds from any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, as well as any
proceeds from an REO Property, will be applied in the following order of
priority: first, to reimburse the Master Servicer for any related unreimbursed
Servicing Advances or Servicing Fees or for any related unreimbursed Advances,
as
61
applicable; second, to reimburse the Master Servicer, as applicable, and to
reimburse the Certificate Account for any Nonrecoverable Advances (or portions
thereof) that were previously withdrawn by the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.09(a)(iii) that related to the Mortgage Loan; third, to accrued and
unpaid interest (to the extent no Advance has been made for such amount or any
such Advance has been reimbursed) on the Mortgage Loan or related REO
Property, at the Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate to the Due Date occurring in the
month in which such amounts are required to be distributed; and fourth, as a
recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer will retain
any Excess Proceeds from the liquidation of a Liquidated Mortgage Loan as
additional servicing compensation pursuant to Section 3.15.
The Master Servicer may agree to a modification of any Mortgage Loan
at the request of the related Mortgagor if (i) the modification is in lieu of
a refinancing and the Mortgage Rate on the Mortgage Loan, as modified, is
approximately a prevailing market rate for newly-originated Mortgage Loans
having similar terms and (ii) the Master Servicer purchases that Mortgage Loan
from the Trust Fund as described below. Upon the agreement of the Master
Servicer to modify a Mortgage Loan in accordance with the preceding sentence,
the Master Servicer shall purchase that Mortgage Loan and all interest of the
Trustee in that Mortgage Loan shall automatically be deemed transferred and
assigned to the Master Servicer and all benefits and burdens of ownership
thereof, including the right to accrued interest thereon from the date of
purchase and the risk of default thereon, shall pass to the Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Trustee a certification of a
Servicing Officer to the effect that all requirements of this paragraph have
been satisfied with respect to a Mortgage Loan to be repurchased pursuant to
this paragraph.
The Master Servicer shall deposit the Purchase Price for any Mortgage
Loan repurchased pursuant to Section 3.12 in the Certificate Account pursuant
to Section 3.06 within one Business Day after the purchase of the Mortgage
Loan. Upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of any such deposit
signed by a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall release to the Master
Servicer the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall
be necessary to vest in the Master Servicer any Mortgage Loan previously
transferred and assigned pursuant hereto. The Master Servicer covenants and
agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund against any liability for any "prohibited
transaction" taxes and any related interest, additions, and penalties imposed
on the Trust Fund established hereunder as a result of any modification of a
Mortgage Loan effected pursuant to this Section, or any purchase of a Mortgage
Loan by the Master Servicer in connection with a modification (but such
obligation shall not prevent the Master Servicer or any other appropriate
Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not
prevent the Master Servicer from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted
by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The Master Servicer shall
have no right of reimbursement for any amount paid pursuant to the foregoing
indemnification, except to the extent that the amount of any tax, interest,
and penalties, together with interest thereon, is refunded to the Trust Fund.
Section 3.13 Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the
Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a
manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer will immediately
notify the Trustee by delivering a Request for Release substantially in the
form of Exhibit N. Upon receipt of the request, the Trustee shall promptly
release the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer, and the Trustee
shall at the Master Servicer's direction execute and deliver to the Master
Servicer the request for reconveyance, deed of reconveyance, or release or
satisfaction of mortgage or such instrument releasing the lien of the Mortgage
in each case provided by the Master Servicer, together with the Mortgage Note
with written evidence of cancellation thereon. The Master Servicer is
authorized to cause the removal from the registration on the MERS System of
such Mortgage
62
and to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or
cancellation or of partial or full release. Expenses incurred in connection
with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be
chargeable to the related Mortgagor.
From time to time and as shall be appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including for such purpose collection under
any policy of flood insurance, any fidelity bond or errors or omissions
policy, or for the purposes of effecting a partial release of any Mortgaged
Property from the lien of the Mortgage or the making of any corrections to the
Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or any of the other documents included in the
Mortgage File, the Trustee shall, upon delivery to the Trustee of a Request
for Release in the form of Exhibit M signed by a Servicing Officer, release
the Mortgage File to the Master Servicer or its designee. Subject to the
further limitations set forth below, the Master Servicer shall cause the
Mortgage File or documents so released to be returned to the Trustee when the
need therefor by the Master Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage
Loan is liquidated and the proceeds thereof are deposited in the Certificate
Account, in which case the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a
Request for Release in the form of Exhibit N, signed by a Servicing Officer.
If the Master Servicer at any time seeks to initiate a foreclosure
proceeding in respect of any Mortgaged Property as authorized by this
Agreement, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, for signature, as
appropriate, any court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale, or other
documents necessary to effectuate such foreclosure or any legal action brought
to obtain judgment against the Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage
or to obtain a deficiency judgment or to enforce any other remedies or rights
provided by the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or otherwise available at law or
in equity.
Section 3.14 Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of the Master
Servicer to be Held for the Trustee.
The Master Servicer shall account fully to the Trustee for any funds
it receives or otherwise collects as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance
Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan. All Mortgage Files and funds
collected or held by, or under the control of, the Master Servicer in respect
of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest
payments or from Liquidation Proceeds, including any funds on deposit in the
Certificate Account, shall be held by the Master Servicer for and on behalf of
the Trustee and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the
Trustee, subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement. The Master
Servicer also agrees that it shall not create, incur or subject any Mortgage
File or any funds that are deposited in the Certificate Account, the
Collection Account, Distribution Account, or any Escrow Account, or any funds
that otherwise are or may become due or payable to the Trustee for the benefit
of the Certificateholders, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment,
levy, writ of attachment, or other encumbrance, or assert by legal action or
otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage File or any funds
collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except, however, that
the Master Servicer shall be entitled to set off against and deduct from any
such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master
Servicer under this Agreement.
Section 3.15 Servicing Compensation.
As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer may
retain or withdraw from the Servicing Account, the Collection Account, or the
Certificate Account the Servicing Fee for each Mortgage Loan for the related
Distribution Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicing Fee payable to
the Master Servicer shall be reduced by the lesser of the aggregate of the
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls with respect to the Distribution Date and the
aggregate Compensating Interest for the Distribution Date.
63
The Master Servicer may retain or withdraw from the Servicing
Account, the Collection Account, or the Certificate Account the Servicing Fee
for each Mortgage Loan for the related Distribution Date. If the Master
Servicer directly services a Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer may retain the
Servicing Fee for its own account as compensation for performing services. If
a Subservicer directly services a Mortgage Loan, unless the Subservicer
retains the Servicing Fee, the Master Servicer shall remit the Servicing Fee
to the related Subservicer as compensation for performing services.
Additional master servicing compensation in the form of Excess
Proceeds, Prepayment Interest Excess, assumption fees, late payment charges
and all income net of any losses realized from Permitted Investments shall be
retained by the Master Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in
the Certificate Account pursuant 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 the fees of any Subservicer, payment of any
premiums for hazard insurance, and any Primary Insurance Policy and
maintenance of the other forms of insurance coverage required by this
Agreement) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as
specifically provided in this Agreement.
Section 3.16 Access to Certain Documentation.
The Master Servicer shall provide to the OTS and the FDIC and to
comparable regulatory authorities supervising Holders of Certificates and
Certificate Owners and the examiners and supervisory agents of the OTS, the
FDIC, and such other authorities, access to the documentation regarding the
Mortgage Loans required by applicable regulations of the OTS and the FDIC.
Access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable prior
written request and during normal business hours at the offices designated by
the Master Servicer. Nothing in this Section 3.16 shall limit the obligation
of the Master Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of
information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the Master Servicer to
provide access as provided in this Section 3.16 as a result of such obligation
shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.16.
Section 3.17 Annual Statement as to Compliance.
By March 1 of each year, commencing with 2006, the Master Servicer
shall deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee an Officer's Certificate signed
by two Servicing Officers stating, as to each signer thereof, that (i) a
review of the activities of the Master Servicer during the preceding calendar
year and of the performance of the Master Servicer under this Agreement has
been made under such officer's supervision, and (ii) to the best of such
officer's knowledge, based on the review, the Master Servicer has fulfilled
all its obligations under this Agreement throughout the year, or, if there has
been a default in the fulfillment of any obligation, specifying each default
known to the officer and the nature and status thereof. The Trustee shall
forward a copy of each compliance statement to each Rating Agency.
Section 3.18 Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing
Statement; Financial Statements.
By March 1 of each year, commencing with 2006, the Master Servicer at
its expense shall cause a nationally or regionally recognized firm of
independent public accountants (who may also render other services to the
Master Servicer, the Seller or any affiliate thereof) which is a member of the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to
the Trustee and the Depositor to the effect that the firm has examined certain
documents and records relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans under
this Agreement or of mortgage loans under pooling and servicing agreements
substantially similar to this Agreement (the statement to have attached to it
a schedule of the pooling and servicing agreements covered by it) and that, on
the basis of its examination, conducted substantially in compliance with the
Audit Guide for Audits of HUD Approved Nonsupervised Mortgagees, the Uniform
Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, or the Audit Program for
Mortgages serviced for FNMA and FHLMC, such servicing has been conducted in
compliance with this Agreement except for any significant exceptions or errors
in records that, in the opinion of the firm, the Audit Guide for Audits of HUD
Approved Nonsupervised Mortgagees, the Uniform Single
64
Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, or the Audit Program for Mortgages
serviced for FNMA and FHLMC requires it to report. In rendering the statement,
the firm may rely, as to matters relating to direct servicing of Mortgage
Loans by the subservicers, upon comparable statements for examinations
conducted substantially in compliance with the Audit Guide for Audits of HUD
Approved Nonsupervised Mortgagees, the Uniform Single Attestation Program for
Mortgage Bankers, or the Audit Program for Mortgages serviced for FNMA and
FHLMC (rendered within one year of the statement) of independent public
accountants with respect to the related Subservicer. The Master Servicer shall
deliver the statement to the Trustee so that the Trustee can provide copies of
the statement to any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner on request at the
Master Servicer's expense.
Section 3.19 Errors and Omissions Insurance; Fidelity Bonds.
The Master Servicer shall obtain and maintain in force (a) policies
of insurance covering errors and omissions in the performance of its
obligations as Master Servicer hereunder and (b) a fidelity bond covering its
officers, employees, and agents. Each policy and bond shall, together, comply
with the requirements from time to time of FNMA or FHLMC for persons
performing servicing for mortgage loans purchased by FNMA or FHLMC. If any
policy or bond ceases to be in effect, the Master Servicer shall obtain a
comparable replacement policy or bond from an insurer or issuer meeting the
above requirements as of the date of the replacement.
Section 3.20 [Reserved].
Section 3.21 Prepayment Charges.
The Master Servicer will not waive any part of any Prepayment Charge
unless the waiver relates to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default,
the Prepayment Charge would cause an undue hardship to the related borrower,
the Mortgaged Property is sold by the Mortgagor, the collection of any
Prepayment Charge would violate any relevant law or regulation or the waiving
of the Prepayment Charge would otherwise benefit the Trust Fund and it is
expected that the waiver would maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into
account the value of the Prepayment Charge and related Mortgage Loan and doing
so is standard and customary in servicing similar Mortgage Loans (including
any waiver of a Prepayment Charge in connection with a refinancing of a
Mortgage Loan that is related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable
default). The Master Servicer will not waive a Prepayment Charge in connection
with a refinancing of a Mortgage Loan that is not related to a default or a
reasonably foreseeable default.
65
ARTICLE FOUR
DISTRIBUTIONS AND ADVANCES BY THE MASTER SERVICER
Section 4.01 Advances.
(a) The Master Servicer shall determine on or before each Master
Servicer Advance Date whether it is required to make an Advance pursuant to
the definition thereof. If the Master Servicer determines it is required to
make an Advance, it shall, on or before the Master Servicer Advance Date,
either (i) deposit into the Certificate Account an amount equal to the Advance
or (ii) make an appropriate entry in its records relating to the Certificate
Account that any Amount Held for Future Distribution has been used by the
Master Servicer in discharge of its obligation to make any such Advance. Any
funds so applied shall be replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the
Certificate Account no later than the close of business on the next Master
Servicer Advance Date. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed
from the Certificate Account for all Advances of its own funds made pursuant
to this Section 4.01 as provided in Section 3.09. The obligation to make
Advances with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall continue if such Mortgage
Loan has been foreclosed or otherwise terminated and the Mortgaged Property
has not been liquidated. The Master Servicer shall inform the Trustee of the
amount of the Advance to be made on each Master Servicer Advance Date no later
than the second Business Day before the related Distribution Date.
(b) If the Master Servicer determines that it will be unable to
comply with its obligation to make the Advances as and when described in the
second sentence of Section 4.01(a), it shall use its best efforts to give
written notice thereof to the Trustee (each such notice an "Advance Notice";
and such notice may be given by telecopy), not later than 3:00 P.M., New York
time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Master Servicer
Advance Date, specifying the amount that it will be unable to deposit (each
such amount an "Advance Deficiency") and certifying that such Advance
Deficiency constitutes an Advance hereunder and is not a Nonrecoverable
Advance. If the Trustee receives a Trustee Advance Notice on or before 3:00
P.M., New York time on a Master Servicer Advance Date, the Trustee is entitled
to immediately terminate the Master Servicer under Section 7.01, and shall,
not later than 3:00 P.M., New York time, on the related Distribution Date,
deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the Advance Deficiency
identified in such Trustee Advance Notice unless it is prohibited from so
doing by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall not
be required to make such deposit if the Trustee shall have received written
notification from the Master Servicer that the Master Servicer has deposited
or caused to be deposited in the Certificate Account an amount equal to such
Advance Deficiency by 3:00 P.M. New York time on the related Distribution
Date. If the Trustee has not terminated the Master Servicer, the Master
Servicer shall reimburse the Trustee for the amount of any Advance (including
interest at the Prime Rate on the day of such reimbursement published in The
Wall Street Journal) on such amount, made by the Trustee pursuant to this
Section 4.01(b) not later than the second day following the related Master
Servicer Advance Date. In the event that the Master Servicer does not
reimburse the Trustee in accordance with the requirements of the preceding
sentence, the Trustee shall immediately (a) terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement in accordance with
Section 7.01 and (b) subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3.05,
assume all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder.
(c) The Master Servicer shall, not later than the close of business
on the Business Day immediately preceding each Master Servicer Advance Date,
deliver to the Trustee a report (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Trustee) that indicates (i) the Mortgage Loans with respect to which
the Master Servicer has determined that the related Scheduled Payments should
be advanced and (ii) the amount of the related Scheduled Payments. The Master
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee on
66
the related Master Servicer Advance Date an Officer's Certificate of a
Servicing Officer indicating the amount of any proposed Advance determined by
the Master Servicer to be a Nonrecoverable Advance.
Section 4.02 Priorities of Distribution.
(a) (1) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw the
Available Funds for Loan Group 1 from the Distribution Account and apply such
funds to distributions on the Group 1 Senior Certificates in the following
order and priority and, in each case, to the extent of Available Funds
remaining:
(i) concurrently, to each interest-bearing Class of Group 1
Senior Certificates, an amount allocable to interest equal to the
related Class Optimal Interest Distribution Amount, any shortfall
being allocated among such Classes in proportion to the amount of the
Class Optimal Interest Distribution Amount that would have been
distributed in the absence of such shortfall; provided that prior to
the Accrual Termination Date, the Accrual Amount shall be distributed
as provided in Section 4.02(a)(1)(ii);
(ii) the Class 1-A-3 Accrual Amount shall be distributed in
accordance with the Class 1-A-3 Accretion Direction Rule;
(iii) concurrently, to the Classes of Group 1 Senior
Certificates as follows:
(A) to the Class PO-1 Component, the related PO
Formula Principal Amount until the Component Balance thereof
is reduced to zero; and

distribution required to be made pursuant to the applicable clause (a)(iii),
(A) the amount distributable on the related Class PO Component in respect of
principal shall be equal to the product of (1) the Amount Available for Senior
Principal for such Loan Group and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is
the related PO Formula Principal Amount and the denominator of which is the
sum of such PO Formula Principal Amount and the applicable Senior Principal
Distribution Amount and (B) the amount distributable on the related Senior
Certificates other than the applicable Class PO Component, in respect of
principal shall be equal to the product of (1) such Amount Available for
Senior Principal and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the applicable
Senior Principal Distribution Amount and the denominator of which is the sum
of such Senior Principal Distribution Amount and the related PO Formula

(b) On each Distribution Date prior to and including the applicable
Accrual Termination Date with respect to each Class of Accrual Certificates,
the Accrual Amount for such Class for such Distribution Date shall not (except
as provided in the second to last sentence in this paragraph) be distributed
as interest with respect to such Class of Accrual Certificates, but shall
instead be added to the related Class Certificate Balance of such Class on the

including the applicable Accrual Termination Date on which principal payments
on any Class of Accrual Certificates are distributed pursuant to Section
4.02(a)(1)(iii) or Section 4.02(a)(2)(iii), the related Accrual Amount shall
be deemed to have been added on such Distribution Date to the related Class
Certificate Balance (and included in the amount distributable on the related
Class or Classes or Accretion Directed Certificates pursuant to Section
4.02(a)(1)(ii) or Section 4.02(a)(2)(ii)for such Distribution Date) and the
related distribution thereon shall be deemed to have been applied concurrently
towards the reduction of all or a portion of the amount so added and, to the
extent of any excess, towards the reduction of the Class Certificate Balance
of such Class of Accrual Certificates immediately prior to such Distribution
Date. Notwithstanding any such distribution, each such Class or Component
shall continue to be a Class of Accrual Certificates on each subsequent
Distribution Date until the applicable Accrual Termination Date.
(c) On each Distribution Date on or after the Senior Credit Support
Depletion Date, notwithstanding the allocation and priority set forth in
Section 4.02(a)(1)(iii)(B) and Section 4.02(a)(2)(iii)(B), the Non-PO Formula
Principal Amount related to a Loan Group up to the amount of the related
Senior Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date available will
be distributed concurrently, as principal, of the related Classes of Senior
Certificates (other than the related Notional Amount Certificates and the
related Class PO Component), pro rata, on the basis of their respective Class
Certificate Balances, until the Class Certificate Balances thereof are reduced
to zero.
(d) On each Distribution Date, the amount referred to in clause (i)
of the definition of Class Optimal Interest Distribution Amount for each Class
of Certificates for such Distribution Date shall be reduced by (i) the related
Class' pro rata share of Net Prepayment Interest Shortfalls based (x) with
respect to a Class of Senior Certificates, on the related Class Optimal
Interest Distribution Amount and (y) with respect to a Class of Subordinated
Certificates on or prior to a Senior Termination Date on the Assumed Interest
Amount and after such Senior Termination Date, the related Class' Class
Optimal Interest Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date, without
taking into account such Net Prepayment Interest Shortfalls and (ii) the
related Class' Allocable Share of (A) after the Special Hazard Coverage
Termination Date, with respect to each Mortgage Loan in the related Loan Group
(or, after the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, any Mortgage Loan) that
became a Special Hazard Mortgage Loan during the calendar month preceding the
month of such Distribution Date, the excess of one month's interest at the
Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate on the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage
Loan as of the Due Date in such month over the amount of Liquidation Proceeds
applied as interest on such Mortgage Loan with respect to such month, (B)
after the Bankruptcy Coverage Termination Date, with
71
respect to each Mortgage Loan in the related Loan Group (or, after the Senior
Credit Support Depletion Date, any Mortgage Loan) that became subject to a
Bankruptcy Loss during the calendar month preceding the month of such
Distribution Date, the interest portion of the related Debt Service Reduction
or Deficient Valuation, (C) each Relief Act Reduction for the Mortgage Loans
in the related Loan Group (or, after the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date,
any Mortgage Loan) incurred during the calendar month preceding the month of
such Distribution Date and (D) after the Fraud Loss Coverage Termination Date,
with respect to each Mortgage Loan in the related Loan Group (or, after the
Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, any Mortgage Loan) that became a Fraud
Loan during the calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution Date,
the excess of one month's interest at the related Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate
on the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the Due Date in
such month over the amount of Liquidation Proceeds applied as interest on such
Mortgage Loan with respect to such month.
(e) Notwithstanding the priority and allocation contained in Section
4.02(a), if, with respect to any Class of Subordinated Certificates, on any
Distribution Date the sum of the related Class Subordination Percentages of
such Class and of all Classes of Subordinated Certificates that have a higher
numerical Class designation than such Class (the "Applicable Credit Support
Percentage") is less than the Original Applicable Credit Support Percentage
for such Class, no distribution of Principal Prepayments on the Mortgage Loans
will be made to any such Classes (the "Restricted Classes") and the amount of
such Principal Prepayments otherwise distributable to the Restricted Classes
shall be distributed to the Classes of Subordinated Certificates having lower
numerical Class designations than such Class, pro rata, based on their
respective Class Certificate Balances immediately prior to such Distribution
Date and shall be distributed in the sequential order set forth in Section
4.02(a)(4). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Class of Subordinated
Certificates then outstanding with the lowest numerical class designation
shall not be a Restricted Class.
(f) If the amount of a Realized Loss on a Mortgage Loan in a Loan
Group has been reduced by application of Subsequent Recoveries with respect to
such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such Subsequent Recoveries will be applied
sequentially, in the order of payment priority, to increase the Class
Certificate Balance or Component Balance of each related Class and Component
of Certificates to which Realized Losses have been allocated, but in each case
by not more than the amount of Realized Losses previously allocated to that
Class and Component of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.05. Holders of such
Certificates and Components will not be entitled to any payment in respect of
the Class Optimal Interest Distribution Amount on the amount of such increases
for any Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on which such
increase occurs. Any such increases shall be applied to the Certificate
Balance or Component Balance of each Certificate or Component, as applicable,
of such Class in accordance with its respective Percentage Interest.
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for
so long as any Hedged Certificates are held by the Seller or its Affiliates
the Trustee shall not knowingly distribute any amounts received under the
Yield Maintenance Agreement in respect of any Class of Hedged Certificates
held by the Seller or any of its Affiliates, and any such amounts shall
instead be distributed in accordance with Section 3.06(g) excluding those
Certificates of which not less than 100% are held by the Seller or its
Affiliates. At least six (6) Business Days prior to the related Distribution
Date, the Seller shall make available to the Trustee a statement containing
(i) the aggregate Certificate Balances of each Class of Hedged Certificates
owned by the Seller or any of its Affiliates during the immediately preceding
Interest Accrual Period and/or as of the date of such statement to the Trustee
and (ii) the names of the Seller and/or any of its Affiliates that own any
Certificates during the immediately preceding Interest Accrual Period and/or
as of the date of the such statement to the Trustee. The Seller and its
Affiliates hereby agree that (i) if the Seller or any of its Affiliates own
any of a Class of Hedged Certificates, the Seller and its Affiliates shall own
not less than 100% of any Class of Hedged Certificates and all transfers of
Certificates the Seller and/or its Affiliates may undertake shall be
restricted to 100% of such Class and (ii)
72
neither the Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall undertake to sell any
Certificates held by such entities or purchase any additional Certificates
from the date of such statement to the Trustee until the first day following
the related Distribution Date. Any amounts received by the Seller or any of
its Affiliates under the Yield Maintenance Agreement in respect of any
Certificates owned 100% by the Seller or any of its Affiliates, or in error or
otherwise, shall be immediately returned by the Seller to the Trustee and then
distributed by the Trustee to other entitled Certificateholders of such Class
in accordance with Section 3.06(g) and if no such other Certificateholders, to
the Cap Counterparty.
Section 4.03 Cross-Collateralization; Adjustments to Available Funds.
If on any Distribution Date the Class Certificate Balance of the
Senior Certificates in a Loan Group is greater than the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Loan Group (the
"Undercollateralized Group"), then the Trustee shall reduce the Available
Funds of the other Loan Group to the extent that it is not undercollateralized
(the "Overcollateralized Group"), as follows:
(i) to add to the Available Funds of the Undercollateralized
Group an amount equal to the lesser of (a) one month's interest on
the Principal Transfer Amount of the Undercollateralized Group at the
Pass-Through Rate applicable to the Undercollateralized Group and (b)
Available Funds of the Overcollateralized Group remaining after
making distributions to the Certificates of the Overcollateralized
Group on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.02; and
(ii) to the Senior Certificates of the Undercollateralized
Group, to the extent of the principal portion of Available Funds of
the Overcollateralized Group remaining after making distributions to
the Senior Certificates of the Overcollateralized Group on such
Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.02, until the Class
Certificate Balance of the Senior Certificates of such
Undercollateralized Group equals the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group.
The principal portion of the transfer payment received by the
Undercollateralized Group is referred to as a "Transfer Payment Received." The
principal portion of the transfer payment made by the Overcollateralized Group
is referred to as a "Transfer Payment Made."
Section 4.04 [Reserved].
Section 4.05 Allocation of Realized Losses.
(a) On or prior to each Determination Date, the Trustee shall
determine the total amount of Realized Losses, including Excess Losses, with
respect to each related Distribution Date.
Realized Losses with respect to a Loan Group and any Distribution
Date shall be allocated as follows:
(i) the applicable PO Percentage of any Realized Loss,
including any Excess Loss, shall be allocated to the related Class PO
Component until its Component Balance is reduced to zero; and
(ii) (A) the applicable Non-PO Percentage of any Realized
Loss (other than any Excess Loss) on the Mortgage Loans in a Loan
Group shall be allocated first to the Subordinated Certificates in
reverse order of their respective numerical Class designations
(beginning with the Class of Subordinated Certificates then
outstanding with the highest numerical Class designation)
73
until the respective Class Certificate Balance of each such Class is
reduced to zero, and second to the Classes of Senior Certificates in
the related Senior Certificate Group (other than any Notional Amount
Certificates, if applicable, and the related Class PO Component), pro
rata on the basis of their respective Class Certificate Balances, in
each case immediately prior to the related Distribution Date, until
the respective Class Certificate Balance of each such Class is
reduced to zero; except that the applicable Non-PO Percentage of any
Realized Losses on the Group 1 Mortgage Loans that would otherwise be
allocated to the Class 1-A-1 and Class 1-A-5 Certificates will
instead be allocated to the Class 1-A-6-A and Class 1-A-6-B
Components, respectively, until their respective Component Balances
are reduced to zero, and the Non-PO Percentage of any Realized Losses
on the Group 2 Mortgage Loans that would otherwise be allocated to
the Class 2-A-1 Certificates will instead be allocated to the Class
2-A-3 Certificates until its Class Certificate Balance is reduced to
zero;
(B) the applicable Non-PO Percentage of any Excess Losses on
the Mortgage Loans in a Loan Group shall be allocated among the

of Senior Certificates in the related Senior Certificate Group, pro
rata, on the basis of their respective Class Certificate Balances
immediately prior to the related Distribution Date and (ii) in the
case of the Subordinated Certificates, the Subordinated Percentage of
such Excess Loss shall be allocated among the Classes of Subordinated
Certificates, pro rata, based on each Class' share of the Assumed
Balance of the related Loan Group immediately prior to the related
Distribution Date; provided, however, on any Distribution Date after
a Senior Termination Date for a Senior Certificate Group, such Excess
Losses on the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group shall be
allocated to the Senior Certificates and the Subordinated
Certificates on the basis of their respective Class Certificate
Balances immediately prior to such Distribution Date; provided
further, however, on any Distribution Date on and after the Senior
Credit Support Depletion Date, any Excess Loss shall be allocated,
pro rata, among the Classes of Senior Certificates (other than the
related Class PO Component and the related Notional Amount
Certificates) based on their respective Class Certificate Balances
immediately prior to the related Distribution Date.
(b) The Class Certificate Balance of the Class of Subordinated
Certificates then outstanding with the highest numerical Class designation
shall be reduced on each Distribution Date by the sum of (i) the amount of any
payments on the Class PO Certificates in respect of Class PO Deferred Amounts
and (ii) the amount, if any, by which the aggregate of the Class Certificate
Balances of all outstanding Classes of Certificates (after giving effect to
the distribution of principal and the allocation of Realized Losses and Class
PO Deferred Amounts on such Distribution Date) exceeds the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans for the following Distribution Date.
(c) Any Realized Loss allocated to a Class of Certificates or any
reduction in the Class Certificate Balance of a Class of Certificates pursuant
to Section 4.05(b) shall be allocated among the Certificates of such Class in
proportion to their respective Certificate Balances.
(d) Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Certificate or any
reduction in the Certificate Balance of a Certificate pursuant to Section
4.05(b) shall be accomplished by reducing the Certificate Balance thereof
immediately following the distributions made on the related Distribution Date
in accordance with the definition of Certificate Balance.

Section 4.08 Determination of Pass-Through Rates for LIBOR
Certificates.
On each LIBOR Determination Date so long as the LIBOR Certificates
are outstanding, the Trustee will determine LIBOR on the basis of the British
Bankers' Association ("BBA") "Interest Settlement Rate" for one-month deposits
in U.S. dollars as found on Moneyline Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m.
London time on each LIBOR Determination Date.
(a) If LIBOR cannot be determined as provided in the first paragraph
of this Section 4.08, the Trustee shall either (i) request each Reference Bank
to inform the Trustee of the quotation offered by its principal London office
for making one-month United States dollar deposits in leading banks in the
London interbank market, as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such LIBOR
Determination Date or (ii) in lieu of making any such request, rely on such
Reference Bank quotations that appear at such time on the Reuters Screen LIBO
Page (as defined in the International Swap Dealers Association Inc. Code of
Standard Wording, Assumptions and Provisions for Swaps, 1986 Edition), to the
extent available.
(b) LIBOR for the next Interest Accrual Period for a Class of LIBOR
Certificates will be established by the Trustee on each LIBOR Determination
Date as follows:
(i) If on any LIBOR Determination Date two or more Reference
Banks provide such offered quotations, LIBOR for the next Interest
Accrual Period for a Class of LIBOR Certificates shall be the
arithmetic mean of such offered quotations (rounding such arithmetic
mean upwards if necessary to the nearest whole multiple of 1/32%).
(ii) If on any LIBOR Determination Date only one or none of
the Reference Banks provides such offered quotations, LIBOR for the
next Interest Accrual Period for a Class of LIBOR Certificates shall
be whichever is the higher of (i) LIBOR as determined on the previous
LIBOR Determination Date or (ii) the Reserve Interest Rate. The
"Reserve Interest Rate" shall be the rate per annum which the Trustee
determines to be either (i) the arithmetic mean (rounded upwards if
necessary to the nearest whole multiple of 1/32%) of the one-month
United States dollar lending rates that New York City banks selected
by the Trustee are quoting, on the relevant LIBOR Determination Date,
to the principal London offices of at least two of the Reference
Banks to which such quotations are, in the opinion of the Trustee,
being so made, or (ii) in the event that the Trustee can determine no
such arithmetic mean, the lowest one-month United States dollar
lending rate which New York City banks selected by the Trustee are
quoting on such LIBOR Determination Date to leading European banks.
77
(iii) If on any LIBOR Determination Date the Trustee is
required but is unable to determine the Reserve Interest Rate in the
manner provided in paragraph (b) above, LIBOR shall be LIBOR as
determined on the preceding LIBOR Determination Date, or, in the case
of the first LIBOR Determination Date, the Initial LIBOR Rate.
(c) Until all of the LIBOR Certificates are paid in full, the Trustee
will at all times retain at least four Reference Banks for the purpose of
determining LIBOR with respect to each LIBOR Determination Date. The Master
Servicer initially shall designate the Reference Banks. Each "Reference Bank"
shall be a leading bank engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the
international Eurocurrency market, shall not control, be controlled by, or be
under common control with, the Trustee and shall have an established place of
business in London. If any such Reference Bank should be unwilling or unable
to act as such or if the Master Servicer should terminate its appointment as
Reference Bank, the Trustee shall promptly appoint or cause to be appointed
another Reference Bank. The Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility
to any Person for (i) the selection of any Reference Bank for purposes of
determining LIBOR or (ii) any inability to retain at least four Reference
Banks which is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control.
(d) The Pass-Through Rate for each Class of LIBOR Certificates for
each related Interest Accrual Period shall be determined by the Trustee on
each LIBOR Determination Date so long as the LIBOR Certificates are
outstanding on the basis of LIBOR and the respective formulae appearing in
footnotes corresponding to the LIBOR Certificates in the table relating to the
Certificates in the Preliminary Statement.
(e) In determining LIBOR, any Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR
Certificates, any Interest Settlement Rate, or any Reserve Interest Rate, the
Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in relying upon the
offered quotations (whether written, oral or on the Dow Xxxxx Markets) from
the BBA designated banks, the Reference Banks or the New York City banks as to
LIBOR, the Interest Settlement Rate or the Reserve Interest Rate, as
appropriate, in effect from time to time. The Trustee shall not have any
liability or responsibility to any Person for (i) the Trustee's selection of
New York City banks for purposes of determining any Reserve Interest Rate or
(ii) its inability, following a good-faith reasonable effort, to obtain such
quotations from, the BBA designated banks, the Reference Banks or the New York
City banks or to determine such arithmetic mean, all as provided for in this
Section 4.08.
(f) The establishment of LIBOR and each Pass-Through Rate for the
LIBOR Certificates by the Trustee shall (in the absence of manifest error) be
final, conclusive and binding upon each Holder of a Certificate and the
Trustee.

ARTICLE FIVE
THE CERTIFICATES
Section 5.01 The Certificates.
The Certificates shall be substantially in the forms attached hereto
as exhibits. The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form, in the
minimum denominations, integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof (except
that one Certificate in each Class may be issued in a different amount which
must exceed the applicable minimum denomination) and aggregate denominations
per Class set forth in the Preliminary Statement.
Subject to Section 9.02 respecting the final distribution on the
Certificates, on each Distribution Date the Trustee shall make distributions
to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either (x) by
wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such holder at
a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Holder
has so notified the Trustee at least five Business Days before the related
Record Date or (y) by check mailed by first class mail to such
Certificateholder at the address of such holder appearing in the Certificate
Register.
The Trustee shall execute the Certificates by the manual or facsimile
signature of an authorized officer. Certificates bearing the manual or
facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time such signatures were
affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to be so
authorized before the countersignature and delivery of any such Certificates
or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate. No Certificate
shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any
purpose, unless countersigned by the Trustee by manual signature, and such
countersignature upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the
only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly executed and delivered
hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their countersignature.
On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall countersign the Certificates to be
issued at the direction of the Depositor, or any affiliate thereof.
The Depositor shall provide the Trustee, on a continuous basis with
an adequate inventory of Certificates to facilitate transfers.
Section 5.02 Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and
Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall maintain, in accordance with Section 5.06, a
Certificate Register for the Trust Fund in which, subject to subsections (b)
and (c) below and to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the
Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers
and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. Upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Trustee shall execute and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
new Certificates of the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest.
At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged
for other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the
Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee. Whenever
any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute,
authenticate, and deliver the Certificates that the Certificateholder making
the exchange is entitled to receive. A written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the holder of a Certificate or
his attorney duly authorized in writing shall accompany every Certificate
presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange.
79
No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
shall be cancelled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee in accordance
with the Trustee's customary procedures.
(b) No transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the
registration requirements under the Securities Act and such state securities
laws. If a transfer is to be made in reliance on an exemption from the
Securities Act and such state securities laws, to assure compliance with the
Securities Act and such state securities laws, the Certificateholder desiring
to effect such transfer and such Certificateholder's prospective transferee
shall each certify to the Trustee in writing the facts surrounding the
transfer in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit J (the "Transferor
Certificate") and deliver to the Trustee either (i) a letter in substantially
the form of either Exhibit K (the "Investment Letter") or Exhibit L (the "Rule
144A Letter") or (ii) at the expense of the transferor, an Opinion of Counsel
that the transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act.
The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Private Certificate and any
prospective transferee designated by that Holder, information regarding the
related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and any other information
necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility in Rule 144A(d)(4) for
transfer of the Certificate without registration thereof under the Securities
Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Trustee
and the Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Depositor in providing the
Rule 144A information referenced in the preceding sentence, including
providing to the Depositor such information regarding the Certificates, the
Mortgage Loans, and other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor
reasonably requests to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each
Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to effect a transfer shall, and does
hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller, and the
Master Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not
so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless
the Trustee shall have received either (i) a representation from the
transferee of such Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trustee (if the Certificate is a Private Certificate, the
requirement is satisfied only by the Trustee's receipt of a representation
letter from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit K or Exhibit
L, and if the Certificate is a Residual Certificate, the requirement is
satisfied only by the Trustee's receipt of a representation letter from the
transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit I), to the effect that (x) the
transferee is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to section
406 of ERISA or a plan subject to section 4975 of the Code, or a person acting
on behalf of any such plan or arrangement or using the assets of any such plan
or arrangement to effect the transfer, or (y) if the ERISA-Restricted
Certificate has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, a
representation that the transferee is an insurance company that is purchasing
such Certificate with funds contained in an "insurance company general
account" (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction
Class Exemption 95-60 ("PTCE 95-60") and that the purchase and holding of such
Certificate satisfy the requirements for exemptive relief under Sections I and
III of PTCE 95-60, or (ii) in the case of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate
presented for registration in the name of an employee benefit plan subject to
ERISA, or a plan or arrangement subject to section 4975 of the Code (or
comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), or a trustee of any such
plan or any other person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement or
using such plan's or arrangement's assets, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory
to the Trustee, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the
Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee and
the Master Servicer, to the effect that the purchase and holding of such
ERISA-Restricted Certificate will not result in a non-exempt prohibited
transaction under ERISA or section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the
Trustee or the Master
80
Servicer to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this
Agreement or to any liability. For purposes of the preceding sentence, with
respect to an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is not a Residual Certificate,
if the appropriate representation letter or Opinion of Counsel referred to in
the preceding sentence is not furnished, the representation in clause (i)
above shall be deemed to have been made to the Trustee by the transferee's
(including an initial acquirer's) acceptance of the ERISA-Restricted
Certificates. If the representation is violated, or any attempt is made to
transfer to a plan or arrangement subject to section 406 of ERISA or a plan
subject to section 4975 of the Code, or a person acting on behalf of any such
plan or arrangement or using the assets of any such plan or arrangement,
without the Opinion of Counsel described above, the attempted transfer or
acquisition shall be void.
To the extent permitted under applicable law (including ERISA), the
Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of
transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by
this Section 5.02(b) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the
Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under
this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the Trustee in
accordance with the foregoing requirements.
(c) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and
the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall
promptly notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its
status as a Permitted Transferee.
(ii) No Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be
registered on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the
Trustee shall not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate
unless, in addition to the certificates required to be delivered to
the Trustee under subparagraph (b) above, the Trustee shall have been
furnished with an affidavit (a "Transfer Affidavit") of the initial
owner or the proposed transferee in the form of Exhibit I.
(iii) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a
Transfer Affidavit from any other Person to whom such Person attempts
to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, (B) to
obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any Person for whom such Person is
acting as nominee, trustee or agent in connection with any Transfer
of a Residual Certificate and (C) not to Transfer its Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate or to cause the Transfer of an
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any other Person if
it has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted
Transferee.
(iv) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of this Section
5.02(c) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in
the purported Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a
Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of this Section
5.02(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be
restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of
registration of Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Trustee
shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of
Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by
Section 5.02(b) and this Section 5.02(c) or for making any payments
due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other
action with respect to such Holder under this Agreement so long as
the Transfer was registered after receipt of the related Transfer
Affidavit, Transferor Certificate and either the Rule 144A Letter or
the Investment Letter. The Trustee shall be entitled but not
81
obligated to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that
was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time it became a Holder
or, at such subsequent time as it became other than a Permitted
Transferee, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and
after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Trustee
shall be paid and delivered by the Trustee to the last preceding
Permitted Transferee of such Certificate.
(v) The Depositor shall use its best efforts to make
available, upon receipt of written request from the Trustee, all
information necessary to compute any tax imposed under section
860E(e) of the Code as a result of a Transfer of an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Holder who is not a
Permitted Transferee.
The restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in
this Section 5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the
legend on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers
occurring after delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel, which
Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the
Seller or the Master Servicer, to the effect that the elimination of such
restrictions will not cause any REMIC created under this Agreement to fail to
qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding or result
in the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, a Certificateholder or another
Person. Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate hereby consents to any amendment of this Agreement which, based on
an Opinion of Counsel furnished to the Trustee, is reasonably necessary (a) to
ensure that the record ownership of, or any beneficial interest in, a Residual
Certificate is not transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Person that is
not a Permitted Transferee and (b) to provide for a means to compel the
Transfer of a Residual Certificate which is held by a Person that is not a
Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.
(d) The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions
referred to above in this Section 5.02 in connection with transfer shall be at
the expense of the parties to such transfers.
(e) Except as provided below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at
all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and
at all times: (i) registration of the Certificates may not be transferred by
the Trustee except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain
book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to
ownership and transfers of such Book-Entry Certificates; (iii) ownership and
transfers of registration of the Book-Entry Certificates on the books of the
Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the
Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees,
charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee shall
deal with the Depository, Depository Participants and Indirect Participants as
representatives of the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates for
purposes of exercising the rights of holders under this Agreement, and
requests and directions for and votes of such representatives shall not be
deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to different
Certificate Owners; and (vi) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected
in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its
Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with
respect to Indirect Participants and persons shown on the books of such
Indirect Participants as direct or indirect Certificate Owners.
All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall
be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository
Participant or brokerage firm representing the Certificate Owner. Each
Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of
Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as
agent in accordance with the Depository's normal procedures.
82
If (x) (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in
writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge
its responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Trustee or the Depositor is
unable to locate a qualified successor or (y) after the occurrence of an Event
of Default, Certificate Owners representing at least 51% of the Certificate
Balance of the Book-Entry Certificates together advise the Trustee and the
Depository through the Depository Participants in writing that the
continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the
best interests of the Certificate Owners, the Trustee shall notify all
Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such
event and of the availability of definitive, fully-registered Certificates
(the "Definitive Certificates") to Certificate Owners requesting the same.
Upon surrender to the Trustee of the related Class of Certificates by the
Depository, accompanied by the instructions from the Depository for
registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Neither the
Master Servicer, the Depositor nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay
in delivery of such instruction and each may conclusively rely on, and shall
be protected in relying on, such instructions. The Master Servicer shall
provide the Trustee with an adequate inventory of certificates to facilitate
the issuance and transfer of Definitive Certificates. Upon the issuance of
Definitive Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or
to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and
performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such
Definitive Certificates and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the
Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder; provided that the
Trustee shall not by virtue of its assumption of such obligations become
liable to any party for any act or failure to act of the Depository.
Section 5.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or
(b) the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,
loss, or theft of any Certificate and the Master Servicer and the Trustee
receive the security or indemnity required by them to hold each of them
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that the Certificate
has been acquired by a Protected Purchaser, and if the requirements of Section
8-406 of the UCC are met and subject to Section 8-405 of the UCC, the Trustee
shall execute, countersign, and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any
such mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of
like Class, tenor, and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of
any new Certificate under this Section 5.03, the Trustee may require the
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees
and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate
issued pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall constitute complete and
indefeasible evidence of ownership, as if originally issued, whether or not
the lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificate is found at any time.
Section 5.04 Persons Deemed Owners.
The Master Servicer, the Trustee, and any agent of the Master
Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is
registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving
distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes
whatsoever, and neither the Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any agent of the
Master Servicer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
Section 5.05 Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and
Addresses.
If three or more Certificateholders and/or Certificate Owners (a)
request such information in writing from the Trustee, (b) state that such
Certificateholders and/or Certificate Owners desire to communicate with other
Certificateholders and/or Certificate Owners with respect to their rights
under this Agreement or under the Certificates, and (c) provide a copy of the
communication which such
83
Certificateholders and/or Certificate Owners propose to transmit, or if the
Depositor or Master Servicer shall request such information in writing from
the Trustee, then the Trustee shall, within ten Business Days after the
receipt of such request, provide the Depositor, the Master Servicer or such
Certificateholders and/or Certificate Owners at such recipients' expense the
most recent list of the Certificateholders of such Trust Fund held by the
Trustee. The Depositor and every Certificateholder and/or Certificate Owner,
by receiving and holding a Certificate, agree that the Trustee shall not be
held accountable because of the disclosure of any such information as to the
list of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which
such information was derived.
Section 5.06 Maintenance of Office or Agency.
The Trustee will maintain at its expense an office or offices or
agency or agencies in the United States located at DB Services Tennessee, 000
Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx Xx., Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000-0000, Attention: Transfer Unit, where
Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The
Trustee will give prompt written notice to the Certificateholders of any
change in such location of any such office or agency.

THE DEPOSITOR AND THE MASTER SERVICER
Section 6.01 Respective Liabilities of the Depositor and the Master
Servicer.
The Depositor and the Master Servicer shall each be liable in
accordance with this Agreement only to the extent of the obligations
specifically and respectively imposed upon and undertaken by them in this
Agreement.
Section 6.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or the Master
Servicer.
The Depositor and the Master Servicer will each keep in full effect
their existence and their rights and franchises as a corporation and a federal
savings bank, respectively, under the laws of the United States or under the
laws of one of the states thereof and will each obtain and preserve its
qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in
which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform
its respective duties under this Agreement.
Any Person into which the Depositor or the Master Servicer may be
merged or consolidated, or 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 sell mortgage
loans to, and to service mortgage loans on behalf of, FNMA or FHLMC.
Section 6.03 Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Seller,
the Master Servicer, and Others.
None of the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer or any of the
directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Seller or the
Master Servicer shall be under any liability to 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 Seller, the Master
Servicer or any such Person against any breach of representations or
warranties made by it herein or protect the Depositor, the Seller, the Master
Servicer or any such Person from any liability which would otherwise be
imposed by reasons of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in
the performance of duties or because of reckless disregard of obligations and
duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer, and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Seller or the
Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie
properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising
hereunder. The Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer, and any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Seller or the Master Servicer
shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss,
liability or expense incurred in connection with any audit, controversy or
judicial proceeding relating to a governmental taxing authority or any legal
action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss,
liability or expense related to any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans
(except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable
pursuant to this Agreement) and any loss, liability or expense incurred
because of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the
performance of duties hereunder or because of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder. None of the Depositor, the Seller or the
Master Servicer shall be under any
85
obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not
incidental to its respective duties hereunder and which in its opinion may
involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that any of the
Depositor, the Seller or the Master Servicer may in its discretion undertake
any such action that it may deem appropriate in respect of this Agreement and
the rights and duties of the parties hereto and interests of the Trustee and
the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs
of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs
and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor, the Seller, and the
Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the
Certificate 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 (a) upon appointment of a successor servicer and
receipt by the Trustee of a letter from each Rating Agency that such a
resignation and appointment will not result in a downgrading, qualification or
withdrawal of the rating of any of the Certificates or (b) upon determination
that its duties under this Agreement are no longer permissible under
applicable law. Any such determination under clause (b) permitting the
resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel
to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation shall become
effective until the Trustee or a successor master servicer shall have assumed
the Master Servicer's responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations
under this Agreement.
86
ARTICLE SEVEN
DEFAULT
Section 7.01 Events of Default.
"Event of Default," wherever used in this Agreement, means any one of
the following events:
(a) any failure by the Master Servicer to deposit in the Certificate
Account or remit to the Trustee any payment required to be made by it under
this Agreement, which failure continues unremedied for five days after the
date on which written notice of the failure has been given to the Master
Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor or to the Master Servicer and the
Trustee by the Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing not less than
25% of the aggregate Percentage Interests of the Class; or
(b) any failure by the Master Servicer to observe or perform in any
material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the
Master Servicer contained in this Agreement, which failure materially affects
the rights of Certificateholders and continues unremedied for a period of 60
days after the date on which written notice of such failure shall have been
given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor, or to the Master
Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates of any Class
evidencing not less than 25% of the Percentage Interests of the Class;
provided that the sixty-day cure period shall not apply to the initial
delivery of the Mortgage File for Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans nor the
failure to repurchase or substitute in lieu thereof; or
(c) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority
having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a receiver,
conservator or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling
of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or
liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Master
Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or
unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive days; or
(d) the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a
receiver, conservator or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt,
marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to
the Master Servicer or all or substantially all of the property of the Master
Servicer; or
(e) the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay
its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of,
or commence a voluntary case under, any applicable insolvency or
reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors,
or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or
(f) the Master Servicer shall fail (i) to make an Advance on the
Master Servicer Advance Date or (ii) to reimburse in full the Trustee within
two days of the Master Servicer Advance Date for any Advance made by the
Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01(b).
If an Event of Default described in clauses (a) through (f) of this
Section 7.01 occurs, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such
Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, or at the
direction of the Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing not less than
66 2/3% of the Percentage Interests of the Class, the Trustee shall by notice
in writing to the Master Servicer (with a copy to each Rating Agency),
terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement and in the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than its
rights as a Certificateholder hereunder. On and after the receipt by the
Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master
Servicer hereunder, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise,
shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee. The Trustee shall make any Advance
that the
87
Master Servicer failed to make subject to Section 3.05, whether or not the
obligations of the Master Servicer have been terminated pursuant to this
Section. The Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise,
any documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or
things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of
termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of
the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. Unless expressly
provided in such written notice, no such termination shall affect any
obligation of the Master Servicer to pay amounts owed pursuant to Article
VIII. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting
the termination of the Master Servicer's responsibilities and rights
hereunder, including the transfer to the Trustee of all cash amounts which
shall at the time be credited to the Certificate Account, or thereafter be
received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. If the Master Servicer fails to
make any Advance required under Section 4.01 of this Agreement, thereby
triggering an Event of Default described in clause (f) of this Section 7.01,
the Trustee shall make such Advance on that Distribution Date.
Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to
receive, out of any late collection of a Scheduled Payment on a Mortgage Loan
which was due before the notice terminating such Master Servicer's rights and
obligations as Master Servicer hereunder and received after such notice, that
portion thereof to which such Master Servicer would have been entitled
pursuant to Sections 3.09(a)(i) through (viii), and any other amounts payable
to such Master Servicer hereunder the entitlement to which arose before the
termination of its activities hereunder.
Section 7.02 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of
termination pursuant to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall, subject to and to the
extent provided in Section 3.05, be the successor to the Master Servicer in
its capacity as master servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set
forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities,
duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the
terms hereof and applicable law including the obligation to make Advances
pursuant to Section 4.01. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be
entitled to all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans that the Master Servicer
would have been entitled to charge to the Certificate Account or Distribution
Account if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder, including, if
the Master Servicer was receiving the Servicing Fee, the Servicing Fee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee has become the successor to the
Master Servicer in accordance with Section 7.01, the Trustee may, if it shall
be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law from
making Advances pursuant to Section 4.01 or if it is otherwise unable to so
act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any
established mortgage loan servicing institution the appointment of which does
not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates by each
Rating Agency, as the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities
of the Master Servicer hereunder. Any successor to the Master Servicer shall
be an institution which is a FNMA and FHLMC approved seller/servicer in good
standing, which has a net worth of at least $15,000,000, which is willing to
service the Mortgage Loans and which executes and delivers to the Depositor
and the Trustee an agreement accepting such delegation and assignment,
containing an assumption by such Person of the rights, powers, duties,
responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Master Servicer (other
than liabilities of the Master Servicer under Section 6.03 incurred before
termination of the Master Servicer under Section 7.01), with like effect as if
originally named as a party to this Agreement; provided that each Rating
Agency acknowledges that its rating of the Certificates in effect immediately
before such assignment and delegation will not be qualified or reduced as a
result of such assignment and delegation. Pending appointment of a successor
to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as
provided above, subject to section 3.03 and unless prohibited by law. In
connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may
88
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 in no case shall the rate of such compensation exceed the Servicing Fee
Rate. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with
this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
Neither the Trustee nor any other successor master servicer shall be deemed to
be in default hereunder because of any failure to make, or any delay in
making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof or any failure to
perform, or any delay in performing, any duties or responsibilities hereunder,
in either case caused by the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver or
provide, or any delay in delivering or providing, any cash, information,
documents or records to it.
In connection with the termination or resignation of the Master
Servicer hereunder, either (i) the successor Master Servicer, including the
Trustee if the Trustee is acting as successor Master Servicer, shall represent
and warrant that it is a member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to
comply in all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in
connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with
MERS, or (ii) the predecessor Master Servicer shall cooperate with the
successor Master Servicer either (x) in causing MERS to execute and deliver an
assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS
to the Trustee and to execute and deliver such other notices, documents and
other instruments as may be necessary or desirable to effect a transfer of
such Mortgage Loan or servicing of such Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R) System to
the successor Master Servicer or (y) in causing MERS to designate on the
MERS(R) System the successor Master Servicer as the servicer of such Mortgage
Loan. The predecessor Master Servicer shall file or cause to be filed any such
assignment in the appropriate recording office. The successor Master Servicer
shall cause such assignment to be delivered to the Trustee promptly upon
receipt of the original with evidence of recording thereon or a copy certified
by the public recording office in which such assignment was recorded.
Any successor to the Master Servicer as master servicer shall give
notice to the Mortgagors of such change of servicer and shall, during the term
of its service as master servicer, maintain in force the policy or policies
that the Master Servicer is required to maintain pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 7.03 Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any termination of or appointment of a successor to the
Master Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to
Certificateholders and to each Rating Agency.
(b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the
Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders and each Rating
Agency notice of each such Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee,
unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.
89
ARTICLE EIGHT
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
Section 8.01 Duties of the Trustee.
The Trustee, before the occurrence of an Event of Default and after
the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall undertake to
perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement. In case an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured, the
Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a
prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
such person's own affairs.
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments
furnished to the Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished
pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall examine them to determine
whether they are in the form required by this Agreement. The Trustee shall not
be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolution,
certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order, or other instrument.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that, unless an Event
of Default known to the Trustee has occurred and is continuing,
(a) 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 the duties and obligations specifically
set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read
into this Agreement against the Trustee, and the Trustee may conclusively
rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions
expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee
and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement which it believed in good
faith to be genuine and to have been duly executed by the proper authorities
respecting any matters arising hereunder;
(b) the Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in
good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee,
unless it is finally proven that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts; and
(c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken,
suffered, or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the
Voting Rights of Certificates relating to the time, method, and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Agreement.
As long as any Voting Rights are held by parties other than the Seller, its
Affiliates, or its agents, Voting Rights of Certificates held by the Seller,
its Affiliates or its agents as the Seller shall certify to the Trustee upon
any such entity obtaining such ownership will be excluded from participating
in such voting arrangements, and excluded from determining the 25% threshold.
Section 8.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(a) the Trustee may request and rely upon and shall be protected in
acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer's Certificate,
certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement,
90
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond
or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been
signed or presented by the proper party or parties and the Trustee shall have
no responsibility to ascertain or confirm the genuineness of any signature of
any such party or parties;
(b) the Trustee may consult with counsel, financial advisers or
accountants and the advice of any such counsel, financial advisers or
accountants 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;
(c) the Trustee shall not be 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;
(d) 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 so to do by Holders of
Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights allocated to
each Class of Certificates; provided, however, that no Certificates held by
the Seller, the Depositor or any Affiliate shall be given effect for the
purpose of calculating any such aggregation of Voting Rights;
(e) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents,
accountants or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any
misconduct or negligence on the part of any agents, accountants or attorneys
appointed with due care by it hereunder;
(f) the Trustee shall not be required to risk or expend its own funds
or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its
duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder if it shall
have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to it;
(g) the Trustee shall not be liable for any loss on any investment of
funds pursuant to this Agreement (other than as issuer of the investment
security);
(h) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of an Event of
Default until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written
notice thereof;
(i) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
trusts, rights 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, pursuant to this
Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee
reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the
costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;
(j) the Trustee or its Affiliates are permitted to receive additional
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. The Trustee does not guarantee the
performance of any Permitted Investment; and
91
(k) the Trustee shall not knowingly take any action that would cause
the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a qualifying special purpose entity.
In order to comply with its duties under the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the
Trustee shall obtain and verify certain information and documentation from the
other parties to this Agreement, including, but not limited to, such parties'
name, address, and other identifying information.
Section 8.03 Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates shall be taken
as the statements of the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, and the
Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the
Certificates or of any Mortgage Loan or related document other than with
respect to the Trustee's execution and countersignature of the Certificates.
The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the
Depositor or the Master Servicer of any funds paid to the Depositor or the
Master Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn
from the Certificate Account by the Depositor or the Master Servicer.
Except as provided in Section 2.01(c), the Trustee shall have no
responsibility for filing or recording any financing or continuation statement
in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the
perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder (unless
the Trustee shall have become the successor Master Servicer). The Trustee
makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement
or of the Certificates or of any Mortgage Loan or related document or of MERS
or the MERS(R) System other than with respect to the Trustee's execution and
counter-signature of the Certificates.
The Trustee executes the Certificates not in its individual capacity
but solely as Trustee of the Trust Fund created by this Agreement, in the
exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it by this
Agreement. Each of the undertakings and agreements made on the part of the
Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund in the Certificates is made and intended
not as a personal undertaking or agreement by the Trustee but is made and
intended for the purpose of binding only the Trust Fund.
Section 8.04 Trustee May Own Certificates.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the
owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it
were not the Trustee.
Section 8.05 Trustee's Fees and Expenses.
As compensation for its activities under this Agreement, on each
Distribution Date the Trustee may withdraw from the Distribution Account the
Trustee Fee for that Distribution Date. The Trustee and any director, officer,
employee, or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified by the Master Servicer
against any loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable attorney's fees)
resulting from any error in any tax or information return prepared by the
Master Servicer or incurred in connection with any claim or legal action
relating to
(a) this Agreement, (b) the Certificates, or (c) the performance of
any of the Trustee's duties under this Agreement, other than any loss,
liability or expense incurred because of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of any of the Trustee's duties hereunder or
incurred by reason of any action of the Trustee taken at the direction of the
Certificateholders under this Agreement. This indemnity shall survive the
termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Trustee
92
under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, except as otherwise
agreed upon in writing by the Depositor and the Trustee, and except for any
expense, disbursement, or advance arising from the Trustee's negligence, bad
faith, or willful misconduct, the Master Servicer shall pay or reimburse the
Trustee, for all reasonable expenses, disbursements, and advances incurred or
made by the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement with respect to
(A) the reasonable compensation, expenses, and disbursements of its
counsel not associated with the closing of the issuance of the Certificates
and
(B) the reasonable compensation, expenses, and disbursements of any
accountant, engineer, or appraiser that is not regularly employed by the
Trustee, to the extent that the Trustee must engage them to perform services
under this Agreement.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Trustee shall not
be entitled to payment or reimbursement for any routine ongoing expenses
incurred by the Trustee in the ordinary course of its duties as Trustee,
Registrar, or Paying Agent under this Agreement or for any other expenses.
Section 8.06 Eligibility Requirements for the Trustee.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or
association organized and doing business under the laws of a state or the
United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate
trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000,
subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and with a
credit rating which would not cause either of the Rating Agencies to reduce
their respective then current ratings of the Certificates (or having provided
such security from time to time as is sufficient to avoid such reduction) as
evidenced in writing by each Rating Agency. If such corporation or association
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the
purposes of this Section 8.06 the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In
case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
this Section 8.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with
the effect specified in Section 8.07. The entity serving as Trustee may have
normal banking and trust relationships with the Depositor and its affiliates
or the Master Servicer and its affiliates; provided, however, that such entity
cannot be an affiliate of the Seller, the Depositor or the Master Servicer
other than the Trustee in its role as successor to the Master Servicer.
Section 8.07 Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts
hereby created by giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, and each Rating Agency not less than 60 days before the date
specified in such notice, when, subject to Section 8.08, such resignation is
to take effect, and acceptance by a successor trustee in accordance with
Section 8.08 meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 8.06. If no
successor trustee meeting such qualifications shall have been so appointed and
have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice or
resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written request thereto by
the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting,
or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or
of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or
control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of
rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or a tax is imposed with
93
respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which the Trustee or the Trust Fund
is located and the imposition of such tax would be avoided by the appointment
of a different trustee, then the Depositor or the Master Servicer may remove
the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in
triplicate, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Trustee, one copy to
the Master Servicer and one copy to the successor trustee.
The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by
written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or
their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which shall be
delivered by the successor Trustee to the Master Servicer, one complete set to
the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. As
long as any Voting Rights are held by parties other than the Seller, its
Affiliates, or its agents, Voting Rights of Certificates held by the Seller,
its Affiliates or its agents as the Seller shall certify to the Trustee upon
any such entity obtaining such ownership will be excluded from participating
in such voting arrangements, and excluded from determining the 51% threshold.
The successor trustee shall notify each Rating Agency of any removal of the
Trustee.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to this Section 8.07 shall become effective upon
acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section
8.08.
Section 8.08 Successor Trustee.
Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor
trustee and the Master Servicer 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 Depositor, the Master Servicer and
the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such
other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly
vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such rights, powers,
duties, and obligations.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section 8.08 unless, at the time of its acceptance, the successor trustee is
eligible under Section 8.06 and its appointment does not adversely affect the
then current rating of the Certificates.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in
this Section 8.08, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such
trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates. 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 the Trustee.
Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or
with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or
any corporation succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the
successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be
eligible under Section 8.06 without the execution or filing of any paper or
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding.
94
Section 8.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time,
for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which
any part of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the
time be located, the Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have
the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more
Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly
with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part
of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and
for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any
part thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of
this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the
Master Servicer and the Trustee may consider appropriate. If the Master
Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the
receipt by it of a request to do so, or in the case an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to
make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be
required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section
8.06 and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee
or separate trustee shall be required under Section 8.08.
Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted
by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
conditions:
(a) To the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this
Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed
upon the Trustee, except for the obligation of the Trustee under this
Agreement to advance funds on behalf of the Master Servicer, shall be
conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such
separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate
trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee
joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any
jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether
as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder), the
Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in
which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding
of title to the applicable Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such
jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee
or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;
(b) No trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable because of
any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder and such appointment shall
not, and shall not be deemed to, constitute any such separate trustee or
co-trustee as agent of the Trustee;
(c) The Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove
any separate trustee or co-trustee; and
(d) The Master Servicer, and not the Trustee, shall be liable for the
payment of reasonable compensation, reimbursement and indemnification to any
such separate trustee or co-trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the separate trustees and co-trustees,
when and as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument
appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement
and the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee,
upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates
or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with
the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the
provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this
Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording
protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the
Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Master Servicer and the Depositor.
95
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 Tax Matters.
It is intended that the assets with respect to which one or more
REMIC elections pertaining to the Trust Fund is to be made, as set forth in
the Preliminary Statement, shall constitute, and that the conduct of matters
relating to such assets shall be such as to qualify such assets as, a "real
estate mortgage investment conduit" as defined in and in accordance with the
REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the Trustee covenants and
agrees that it shall act as agent (and the Trustee is hereby appointed to act
as agent) on behalf of each REMIC created under this Agreement and that in
such capacity it shall:
(a) prepare and file in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage
Investment Conduit Income Tax Return (Form 1066 or any successor form adopted
by the Internal Revenue Service) with respect to each REMIC created hereunder
and prepare and file with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or
local tax authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year
with respect to each REMIC described in the Preliminary Statement, containing
such information and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the
Code or state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and furnish to
Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such times and
in such manner as may be required thereby;
(b) within thirty days of the Closing Date, furnish to the Internal
Revenue Service, on Forms 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code,
the name, title, address, and telephone number of the person that the holders
of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto, together
with such additional information as may be required by such Form, and update
such information at the time or times in the manner required by the Code;
(c) make an election that each REMIC created under this Agreement be
treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return for its first taxable year (and,
if necessary, under applicable state law);
(d) prepare and forward to the Certificateholders and to the Internal
Revenue Service and, if necessary, state tax authorities, all information
returns and reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance
with the REMIC Provisions, including the calculation of any original issue
discount using the Prepayment Assumption (as defined in the Prospectus
Supplement);
(e) provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed
on the transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee, or an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a
Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through entity in which a
Person that is not a Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest
(the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may be
charged to the Person liable for such tax);
(f) to the extent that they are under its control, conduct matters
relating to such assets at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so
as to maintain the status as any REMIC created under this Agreement under the
REMIC Provisions;
(g) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take
any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of any REMIC
created under this Agreement;
96
(h) pay, from the sources specified in the last paragraph of this
Section 8.11, the amount of any federal or state tax, including prohibited
transaction taxes as described below, imposed on any REMIC before its
termination when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation
shall not prevent the Trustee or any other appropriate Person from contesting
any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Trustee from
withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of
such proceedings);
(i) ensure that federal, state or local income tax or information
returns shall be signed by the Trustee or such other person as may be required
to sign such returns by the Code or state or local laws, regulations or rules;
(j) maintain records relating to each REMIC created under this
Agreement, including the income, expenses, assets, and liabilities thereof and
the fair market value and adjusted basis of the assets determined at such
intervals as may be required by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the
foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information; and
(k) as and when necessary and appropriate, represent each REMIC
created under this Agreement in any administrative or judicial proceedings
relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority,
request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of such REMIC,
enter into settlement agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend
any statute of limitations relating to any tax item of such REMIC, and
otherwise act on behalf of such REMIC in relation to any tax matter or
controversy involving it.
To enable the Trustee to perform its duties under this Agreement, the
Depositor shall provide to the Trustee within ten days after the Closing Date
all information or data that the Trustee requests in writing and determines to
be relevant for tax purposes to the valuations and offering prices of the
Certificates, including the price, yield, prepayment assumption, and projected
cash flows of the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the
Depositor shall provide to the Trustee promptly upon written request therefor
any additional information or data that the Trustee may, from time to time,
reasonably request to enable the Trustee to perform its duties under this
Agreement. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the Trustee for any losses,
liabilities, damages, claims, or expenses of the Trustee arising from any
errors or miscalculations of the Trustee that result from any failure of the
Depositor to provide, or to cause to be provided, accurate information or data
to the Trustee on a timely basis.
If any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" (as defined in
section 860F(a)(2) of the Code) of any REMIC created under this Agreement, on
the "net income from foreclosure property" of any REMIC created under this
Agreement as defined in section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to
any REMIC created under this Agreement after the Startup Day pursuant to
section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, including any
minimum tax imposed on any REMIC created hereunder pursuant to sections 23153
and 24874 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, if not paid as
otherwise provided for herein, the tax shall be paid by (i) the Trustee, if
any such other tax arises out of or results from negligence of the Trustee in
the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the
Master Servicer or the Seller, in the case of any such minimum tax, if such
tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer or Seller of
any of their obligations under this Agreement, (iii) the Seller, if any such
tax arises out of or results from the Seller's obligation to repurchase a
Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03, or (iv) in all other cases, or
if the Trustee, the Master Servicer, or the Seller fails to honor its
obligations under the preceding clauses (i), (ii), or (iii), any such tax will
be paid with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Certificateholders, as
provided in Section 3.09(b).
97
The Trustee shall treat the Yield Maintenance Reserve Fund as an
outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-2(h)
that is owned by the Cap Counterparty, and that is not an asset of any REMIC
created under this Agreement. The Trustee shall treat the rights of the
holders of the Class 1-A-1 Certificates to receive payments from the Yield
Maintenance Reserve Fund as rights in an interest rate cap contract written by
the Cap Counterparty in respect of any Yield Supplement Amounts distributed in
favor of the Holders of the Class 1-A-1 Certificates. Thus, the Class 1-A-1
Certificates shall be treated as representing ownership of not only a Master
REMIC regular interest, but also ownership of an interest in an interest rate
cap contract. For purposes of determining the issue price of the Master REMIC
regular interests, the Trustee shall assume that the cap contract entered into
by the Class A-1 Certificates have a value of $1,010,000.
Section 8.12 Periodic Filings.
Beginning with the first Distribution Date, the Trustee, pursuant to
written instructions of the Depositor (which instructions shall be deemed to
be this Section 8.12), shall prepare and file all periodic reports required
under the Exchange Act in conformity with the terms of the relief granted to
issuers similar to the Trust Fund. The Trustee shall execute the Form 8-Ks
pursuant to a limited power of attorney from the Depositor which shall
terminate upon written notice from the Depositor or the termination of this
Agreement. In connection with the preparation and filing of such periodic
reports, the Depositor and the Master Servicer shall timely provide to the
Trustee all material information available to them that is required to be
included in such reports and not known to them to be in the possession of the
Trustee and such other information as the Trustee reasonably may request from
either of them (including any certification required pursuant to Section
3.02(a) of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 and any regulations promulgated
thereunder (the "Required Certifications")) and otherwise reasonably shall
cooperate with the Trustee. The Depositor shall execute the Form 10-Ks and the
Required Certifications. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for making
any of the Required Certifications; provided, however, that upon the request
of the Master Servicer or the Depositor in connection with the delivery of the
Required Certifications on behalf of the Trust Fund, the Trustee shall furnish
to the Master Servicer or the Depositor, as applicable, a certificate signed
by an officer of the Trustee (the "Trustee Certification"), which is attached
as Exhibit O to this Agreement. The Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless
the Master Servicer and the Depositor, their respective officers and directors
from and against any and all losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities,
as and when such losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities are
incurred, insofar as such losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue
statement of any material fact contained in the Trustee Certification. The
Trustee shall prepare the Form 10-K and provide such to the Depositor by March
10th of each year, commencing in 2006. The Depositor shall execute such Form
10-K upon its receipt and shall provide the original of such executed Form
10-K to the Trustee no later than five Business Days following its receipt
from the Trustee.
Prior to January 30th of the first year in which the Trustee is able
to do so under applicable law, the Trustee shall file under the Exchange Act a
Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust Fund. The Trustee shall have
no liability with respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such
periodic reports resulting from or relating to the Trustee's inability or
failure to obtain any information not resulting from its own negligence or
willful misconduct.
The Trustee and any director, officer, employee, or agent of the
Trustee shall be indemnified by the Master Servicer against any loss,
liability, or expense (including reasonable attorney's fees) incurred in
connection with any claim or legal action relating to the preparation of the
Required Certification, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred
because of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of
any of the Trustee's duties under this Agreement or incurred by reason of any
action of the Trustee taken at the direction of the Certificateholders under
this Agreement. This indemnity shall
98
survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the
Trustee under this Agreement.

ARTICLE NINE
TERMINATION
Section 9.01 Termination upon Liquidation or Purchase of the Mortgage
Loans.
Subject to Section 9.03, the obligations and responsibilities of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, and the Trustee created hereby shall terminate
upon the earlier of
(a) the purchase by the Master Servicer of all Mortgage Loans (and
REO Properties) at the price equal to the sum of
(i) 100% of the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage
Loan (other than in respect of a Delinquent Mortgage Loan or REO
Property) plus one month's accrued interest thereon at the applicable
Adjusted Mortgage Rate less any amounts collected by the Master
Servicer representing principal and interest due after the related
Due Date,
(ii) the lesser of (x) the appraised value of any Delinquent
Mortgage Loan or REO Property as determined by the higher of two
appraisals completed by two independent appraisers selected by the
Master Servicer at the expense of the Master Servicer and (y) the
Stated Principal Balance of each such Delinquent Mortgage Loan or
Mortgage Loan related to such REO Property, in each case plus accrued
and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Adjusted Net Mortgage
Rate and
(iii) any costs and damages incurred by the Trust Fund in
connection with any violation by each Mortgage Loan of any predatory
or abusive lending law and
(b) the later of
(i) the maturity or other liquidation (or any Advance with
respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and the disposition of all
REO Property and
(ii) the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts
required to be distributed to them pursuant to this Agreement. In no
event shall the trusts created hereby continue beyond the expiration
of 21 years from the death of the survivor of the descendants of
Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States to the
Court of St. James's, living on the date of this Agreement.
The right to purchase all Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant
to clause (a) above shall be conditioned upon the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of those Mortgage Loans, at the time of any such repurchase,
aggregating less than ten percent (10%) of the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date. The Master Servicer
shall effect any such repurchase by depositing the purchase price, as
calculated above, as of the month preceding the date on which such purchase
price shall be distributed to Certificateholders into the Certificate Account.
Section 9.02 Final Distribution on the Certificates.
If on any Determination Date the Master Servicer determines that
there are no Outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the
Trust Fund other than the funds in the Certificate Account, the Master
Servicer shall direct the Trustee promptly to send a final distribution notice
to each Certificateholder. If the Master Servicer elects to terminate the
Trust Fund pursuant to clause (a) of
100
Section 9.01, no later than the 15th day of the month preceding the month of
the final Distribution Date the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor and
the Trustee of the date the Master Servicer intends to terminate the Trust
Fund and of the applicable repurchase price of the Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties.
Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund specifying the
Distribution Date on which Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates
for payment of the final distribution and cancellation shall be given promptly
by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the
15th day and not later than the last day of the month next preceding the month
of such final distribution. Any such notice shall specify (a) the Distribution
Date upon which final distribution on the Certificates will be made upon
presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office therein designated,
(b) the amount of such final distribution, (c) the location of the office or
agency at which such presentation and surrender must be made, and (d) that the
Record Date otherwise applicable to the Distribution Date is not applicable,
distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates at the office therein specified. The Master Servicer will give
such notice to each Rating Agency at the time such notice is given to
Certificateholders.
If this notice is given, the Master Servicer shall cause all funds in
the Certificate Account to be remitted to the Trustee for deposit in the
Distribution Account on the Business Day before the applicable Distribution
Date in an amount equal to the final distribution in respect of the
Certificates. Upon such final deposit with respect to the Trust Fund and the
receipt by the Trustee of a Request for Release therefor, the Trustee shall
promptly release to the Master Servicer the Mortgage Files for the Mortgage
Loans.
Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee
shall cause to be distributed to the Certificateholders of each Class, in each
case on the final Distribution Date and in the order set forth in Section
4.02, in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, with respect to
Certificateholders of the same Class, an amount equal to (i) as to each Class
of Regular Certificates, its Certificate Balance plus for each such Class
accrued interest thereon (or on their Notional Amount, if applicable) in the
case of an interest-bearing Certificate and (ii) as to the Residual
Certificates, any amount remaining on deposit in the Distribution Account
(other than the amounts retained to meet claims) after application pursuant to
clause (i) above. Notwithstanding the reduction of the Certificate Balance of
any Class of Certificates to zero, such Class will be outstanding hereunder
solely for the purpose of receiving distributions and for no other purpose
until the termination of the respective obligations and responsibilities of
the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee hereunder in accordance
with Article Nine. The foregoing provisions are intended to distribute to each
Class of Regular Certificates any accrued and unpaid interest and principal to
which they are entitled based on the Pass-Through Rates and actual Class
Certificate Balances or Notional Amounts set forth in the Preliminary
Statement upon liquidation of the Trust Fund.
If any affected Certificateholder does not surrender its Certificates
for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above
mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice to
the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If
within six months after the second notice all the applicable Certificates
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take
appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to
contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their
Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other
assets which remain a part of the Trust Fund. If within one year after the
second notice all Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, then the Class A-R Certificateholders shall be entitled to all
unclaimed funds and other assets of the Trust Fund which remain subject
hereto.
101
Section 9.03 Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) If the Master Servicer exercises its purchase option with respect
to the Mortgage Loans as provided in Section 9.01, the Trust Fund shall be
terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless
the Trustee has been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of
the Master Servicer, to the effect that the failure to comply with the
requirements of this Section 9.03 will not (i) result in the imposition of
taxes on "prohibited transactions" on any REMIC created hereunder as defined
in section 860F of the Code, or (ii) cause any REMIC created under this
Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding:
(b) The Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Fund to the
Master Servicer, and, within 90 days of such sale, shall distribute to the
Certificateholders the proceeds of such sale in complete liquidation of each
REMIC created under this Agreement.
(c) The Trustee shall attach a statement to the final federal income
tax return for each REMIC created under this Agreement stating that pursuant
to Treasury Regulation ss. 1.860F-1, the first day of the 90-day liquidation
period for such REMIC was the date on which the Trustee sold the assets of the
Trust Fund to the Master Servicer.
102
ARTICLE TEN
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 10.01 Amendment.
This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee without the consent of any of the
Certificateholders (i) to cure any ambiguity or mistake, (ii) to correct any
defective provision in this Agreement or to supplement any provision in this
Agreement which may be inconsistent with any other provision in this
Agreement, (iii) to conform this Agreement to the Prospectus Supplement, (iv)
to add to the duties of the Depositor, the Seller or the Master Servicer, (v)
to modify, alter, amend, add to or rescind any of the terms or provisions
contained in this Agreement to comply with any rules or regulations
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, (vi)
to add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under
this Agreement, or (vii) to modify, alter, amend, add to, or rescind any of
the terms or provisions contained in this Agreement.
No action pursuant to clauses (v), (vi) or (vii) above may, as
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an
expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund), adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of any Certificateholder. The amendment shall not be
deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the
Certificateholders if the Person requesting the amendment obtains a letter
from each Rating Agency stating that the amendment would not result in the
downgrading, qualification or withdrawal of the respective ratings then
assigned to the Certificates. Any such letter in and of itself will not
represent a determination as to the materiality of any amendment and will
represent a determination only as to the credit issues affecting any rating.
Each party to this Agreement agrees that it will cooperate with each other
party in amending this Agreement pursuant to clause (v) above.
The Trustee, the Depositor, and the Master Servicer also may at any
time and from time to time amend this Agreement without the consent of the
Certificateholders to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to the
extent necessary or helpful to (i) maintain the qualification of any REMIC
created under this Agreement as a REMIC under the Code, (ii) avoid or minimize
the risk of the imposition of any tax on any REMIC created under this
Agreement pursuant to the Code that would be a claim at any time before the
final redemption of the Certificates, or (iii) comply with any other
requirements of the Code, if the Trustee has been provided an Opinion of
Counsel, which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting such
opinion but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust
Fund, to the effect that the action is necessary or helpful for one of the
foregoing purposes.
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less
than 51% of each Class of Certificates adversely affected thereby for the
purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating
any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the
rights of the Holders of Certificates. As long as any Voting Rights are held
by parties other than the Seller, its Affiliates, or its agents as the Seller
shall certify to the Trustee upon any such entity obtaining such ownership,
Voting Rights of Certificates held by the Seller, its Affiliates or its agents
will be excluded from participating in such voting arrangements, and excluded
from determining the 51% threshold. No amendment shall
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of
the Holder of such Certificate,
103
(ii) amend, modify, add to, rescind, or alter in any respect Section
10.13, notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, without the
consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests
aggregating not less than 66 2/3% (provided, however, that no Certificates
held by the Seller, the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof shall be given
effect for the purpose of calculating any such aggregation of Percentage
Interests), or
(iii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Certificates the Holders of
which are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of
the Holders of all such Certificates then outstanding.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee
shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless (i) it shall have
first received an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall not be an expense of
the Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such amendment will not
cause the imposition of any tax on any REMIC created under this Agreement or
the Certificateholders or cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify
as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding and (ii) because
the Trust Fund is required to be a Qualifying Special Purpose Entity (as that
term is defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140 ("SFAS
140"), in order for the Seller to continue to account for the transfer of the
Mortgage Loans under this Agreement as a sale under SFAS 140, prior to the
parties hereto entering into such an amendment, the Trustee shall receive an
Officer's Certificate, which shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the
Trust Fund, to the effect that such amendment would not "significantly change"
(within the meaning of SFAS 140) the permitted activities of the Trust Fund so
as to cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a Qualifying Special Purpose
Entity.
Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement
requiring the consent of Certificateholders, the Trustee shall furnish written
notification of the substance or a copy of such amendment to each
Certificateholder and each Rating Agency.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under
this Section 10.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment,
but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance
thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the
authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject
to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to enter into an
amendment without receiving an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion shall not be
an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund), satisfactory to the Trustee that
(i) such amendment is permitted and is not prohibited by this Agreement and
that all requirements for amending this Agreement have been complied with; and
(ii) either (A) the amendment does not adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of any Certificateholder or (B) the conclusion set forth
in the preceding clause (A) is not required to be reached pursuant to this
Section 10.01.
Section 10.02 Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.
This Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public
offices for real property records in all the counties or other comparable
jurisdictions in which any or all of the properties subject to the Mortgages
are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or
elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Master Servicer at its
expense, but only upon receipt of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
such recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the
Certificateholders.
104
For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as
herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed
simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall
be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one
and the same instrument.
Section 10.03 Governing Law.
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY
THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE

REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THE CERTIFICATEHOLDERS SHALL BE DETERMINED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.
Section 10.04 Intention of Parties.
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance
(i) of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Depositor and (ii) of the Trust
Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee each be, and be construed as, an absolute
sale thereof. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such
conveyances be deemed a pledge thereof. However, if, notwithstanding the
intent of the parties, the assets are held to be the property of the Seller or
Depositor, as the case may be, or if for any other reason this Agreement is
held or deemed to create a security interest in either such assets, then (i)
this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning
of the UCC and (ii) the conveyances provided for in this Agreement shall be
deemed to be an assignment and a grant (i) by the Seller to the Depositor or
(ii) by the Depositor to the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, of a security interest in all of the assets transferred,
whether now owned or hereafter acquired.
The Seller and the Depositor for the benefit of the
Certificateholders shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take
such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed
to create a security interest in the Trust Fund, such security interest would
be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under
applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the
Agreement. The Depositor shall arrange for filing any Uniform Commercial Code
continuation statements in connection with any security interest granted or
assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
Section 10.05 Notices.
(a) The Trustee shall use its best efforts to promptly provide notice
to each Rating Agency with respect to each of the following of which it has

Agency. Notices to Certificateholders shall be deemed given when mailed, first
class postage prepaid, to their respective addresses appearing in the
Certificate Register.
Section 10.06 Severability of Provisions.
If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms
of this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the
remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and
shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions
of this Agreement or of the Certificates or the rights of the Holders thereof.
Section 10.07 Assignment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
except as provided in Section 6.02, this Agreement may not be assigned by the
Master Servicer without the prior written consent of the Trustee and
Depositor.
Section 10.08 Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.
The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to
terminate this Agreement or the trust created by this Agreement, nor entitle
such Certificateholder's legal representative or heirs to claim an accounting
or to take any action or commence any proceeding in any court for a petition
or winding up of the trust created hereby, or otherwise affect the rights,
obligations and liabilities of the parties to this Agreement or any of them.
No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as provided
in this Agreement) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and
management of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties to this
Agreement, nor shall anything herein set forth or contained in the terms of
the Certificates be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from
time to time as partners or members of an association; nor shall any
Certificateholder be under any liability to any third party because of any
action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision of
this Agreement.
106
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing
itself of any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or
proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this
Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a
written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as
provided in this Agreement, and unless the Holders of Certificates evidencing
not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates shall
also have made written request to the Trustee to institute such action, suit
or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to
the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs,
expenses, and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee,
for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity
shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or
proceeding; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted
by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee,
that no one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner
whatever by virtue or by availing itself or themselves of any provisions of
this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of
any other of the 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 common benefit of
all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of this Section
10.08, each Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to any relief
that can be given either at law or in equity. As long as any Voting Rights are
held by parties other than the Seller, its Affiliates, or its agents as the
Seller shall certify to the Trustee upon any such entity obtaining such
ownership, Voting Rights of Certificates held by the Seller, its Affiliates or
its agents will be excluded from participating in such voting arrangements,
and excluded from determining the 25% threshold.
Section 10.09 Inspection and Audit Rights.
The Master Servicer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will
permit any representative of the Depositor or the Trustee during the Master
Servicer's normal business hours, to examine all the books of account,
records, reports and other papers of the Master Servicer relating to the
Mortgage Loans, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to
be audited by independent certified public accountants selected by the
Depositor or the Trustee and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts
relating to the Mortgage Loans with its officers, employees and independent
public accountants (and by this provision the Master Servicer hereby
authorizes said accountants to discuss with such representative such affairs,
finances and accounts), all at such reasonable times and as often as may be
reasonably requested. Any out-of-pocket expense incident to the exercise by
the Depositor or the Trustee of any right under this Section 10.09 shall be
borne by the party requesting such inspection; all other such expenses shall
be borne by the Master Servicer or the Subservicer.
Section 10.10 Certificates Nonassessable and Fully Paid.
It is the intention of the Depositor that Certificateholders shall
not be personally liable for obligations of the Trust Fund, that the interests
in the Trust Fund represented by the Certificates shall be nonassessable for
any reason whatsoever, and that the Certificates, upon due authentication
thereof by the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, are and shall be deemed
fully paid.
Section 10.11 Official Record.
The Seller agrees that this Agreement is and shall remain at all
times before the time at which this Agreement terminates an official record of
the Seller as referred to in Section 13(e) of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Act.

Schedule III
INDYMAC MBS, INC.

warranties set forth in this Schedule III to the Depositor and the Trustee, as
of the Closing Date or if so specified in this Schedule III, as of the Cut-off
Date with respect to each Mortgage Loan. Capitalized terms used but not
otherwise defined in this Schedule III shall have the meanings assigned to
them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Pooling and Servicing
Agreement") relating to the above-referenced Series, among IndyMac, as seller
and master servicer, IndyMac MBS, Inc., as depositor, and Deutsche Bank
National Trust Company, as trustee.
(1) The information set forth on Schedule I to the Pooling

and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date.
(2) All regularly scheduled monthly payments due with
respect to each Mortgage Loan up to and including the Due Date before
the Cut-off Date have been made; and as of the Cut-off Date, no
Mortgage Loan had a regularly scheduled monthly payment that was 60
or more days Delinquent during the twelve months before the Cut-off
Date.
(3) With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not a
Cooperative Loan, each Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first lien
on the Mortgaged Property subject only to (a) the lien of
nondelinquent current real property taxes and assessments and liens
or interests arising under or as a result of any federal, state or
local law, regulation or ordinance relating to hazardous wastes or
hazardous substances and, if the related Mortgaged Property is a unit
in a condominium project or planned unit development, any lien for
common charges permitted by statute or homeowner association fees,
(b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements
and other matters of public record as of the date of recording of
such Mortgage, such exceptions appearing of record being generally
acceptable to mortgage lending institutions in the area wherein the
related Mortgaged Property is located or specifically reflected in
the appraisal made in connection with the origination of the related
Mortgage Loan, and (c) other matters to which like properties are
commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits
of the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage.
(4) Immediately before the assignment of the Mortgage Loans
to the Depositor, the Seller had good title to, and was the sole
owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any pledge, lien,
encumbrance or security interest and had full right and authority,
subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any
other party, to sell and assign the same pursuant to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
(5) As of the date of origination of each Mortgage Loan,
there was no delinquent tax or assessment lien against the related
Mortgaged Property.
(6) There is no valid offset, defense or counterclaim to any
Mortgage Note or Mortgage, including the obligation of the Mortgagor
to pay the unpaid principal of or interest on such Mortgage Note.
S-III-1
(7) There are no mechanics' liens or claims for work, labor
or material affecting any Mortgaged Property which are or may be a
lien prior to or equal with, the lien of such Mortgage, except those
which are insured against by the title insurance policy referred to
in item (11) below.
(8) No Mortgaged Property has been materially damaged by
water, fire, earthquake, windstorm, flood, tornado or similar
casualty (excluding casualty from the presence of hazardous wastes or
hazardous substances, as to which the Seller makes no representation)
so as to affect adversely the value of the related Mortgaged Property
as security for the Mortgage Loan.
(9) Each Mortgage Loan at origination complied in all
material respects with applicable local, state and federal laws and
regulations, including usury, equal credit opportunity, real estate
settlement procedures, truth-in-lending, and disclosure laws, or any
noncompliance does not have a material adverse effect on the value of
the related Mortgage Loan.
(10) The Seller has not modified the Mortgage in any
material respect (except that a Mortgage Loan may have been modified
by a written instrument which has been recorded or submitted for
recordation, if necessary, to protect the interests of the
Certificateholders and which has been delivered to the Trustee);
satisfied, cancelled or subordinated such Mortgage in whole or in
part; released the related Mortgaged Property in whole or in part
from the lien of such Mortgage; or executed any instrument of
release, cancellation, modification or satisfaction with respect
thereto.
(11) A lender's policy of title insurance together with a
condominium endorsement and extended coverage endorsement, if
applicable, in an amount at least equal to the Cut-off Date Principal
Balance of each such Mortgage Loan or a commitment (binder) to issue
the same was effective on the date of the origination of each
Mortgage Loan and each such policy is valid and remains in full force
and effect.
(12) Each Mortgage Loan was originated (within the meaning
of Section 3(a)(41) of the Exchange Act) by an entity that satisfied
at the time of origination the requirements of Section 3(a)(41) of
the Exchange Act.
(13) To the best of the Seller's knowledge, all of the
improvements which were included for the purpose of determining the
Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the
boundaries and building restriction lines of such property, and no
improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged
Property, unless such failure to be wholly within such boundaries and
restriction lines or such encroachment, as the case may be, does not
have a material effect on the value of the Mortgaged Property.
(14) To the best of the Seller's knowledge, as of the date
of origination of each Mortgage Loan, no improvement located on or
being part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any
applicable zoning law or regulation unless such violation would not
have a material adverse effect on the value of the related Mortgaged
Property. To the best of the Seller's knowledge, all inspections,
licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect
to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect
to the use and occupancy of the same, including certificates of
occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or
obtained from the appropriate authorities, unless the lack thereof
would not have a material adverse effect on the value of the
Mortgaged Property.
S-III-2
(15) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine,
and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker
thereof, enforceable in accordance with its terms and under
applicable law.
(16) The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully
disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder.
(17) The related Mortgage contains customary and enforceable
provisions which render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof
adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the
benefits of the security, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage
designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (ii) otherwise
by judicial foreclosure.
(18) With respect to each Mortgage constituting a deed of
trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as
such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is
named in such Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become
payable by the Certificateholders to the trustee under the deed of
trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale after default by
the Mortgagor.
(19) At the Cut-off Date, the improvements upon each
Mortgaged Property are covered by a valid and existing hazard
insurance policy with a generally acceptable carrier that provides
for fire and extended coverage and coverage for such other hazards as
are customarily required by institutional single family mortgage
lenders in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, and the
Seller has received no notice that any premiums due and payable
thereon have not been paid; the Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor
thereunder to maintain all such insurance including flood insurance
at the Mortgagor's cost and expense. Anything to the contrary in this
item (19) notwithstanding, no breach of this item (19) shall be
deemed to give rise to any obligation of the Seller to repurchase or
substitute for such affected Mortgage Loan or Loans so long as the
Master Servicer maintains a blanket policy pursuant to the second
paragraph of Section 3.10(a) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(20) If at the time of origination of each Mortgage Loan,
the related Mortgaged Property was in an area then identified in the
Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having
special flood hazards, a flood insurance policy in a form meeting the
then-current requirements of the Flood Insurance Administration is in
effect with respect to the Mortgaged Property with a generally
acceptable carrier.
(21) To the best of the Seller's knowledge, there is no
proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial
condemnation of any Mortgaged Property, nor is such a proceeding
currently occurring.
(22) To the best of the Seller's knowledge, there is no
material event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the
expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material
non-monetary default, breach, violation or event of acceleration
under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note; and the Seller has
not waived any material non-monetary default, breach, violation or
event of acceleration.
(23) Each Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related
Mortgaged Property in a form acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC.
(24) Any leasehold estate securing a Mortgage Loan has a
stated term at least as long as the term of the related Mortgage
Loan.

(25) Each Mortgage Loan was selected from among the
outstanding fixed-rate one- to four-family mortgage loans in the
Seller's portfolio at the Closing Date as to which the
representations and warranties made with respect to the Mortgage
Loans set forth in this Schedule III can be made. No such selection
was made in a manner intended to adversely affect the interests of
the Certificateholders.
(26) No more than 0.46% and 0.11% of the Group 1 Mortgage
Loans and Group 2 Mortgage Loans, respectively, are Cooperative

loan or "covered" mortgage loan as defined by applicable federal,
state and local predatory and abusive lending laws.

all material respects with applicable local, state, and federal laws,
including, but not limited to, all applicable predatory and abusive
lending laws.

(32) Each Mortgage Loan has been underwritten and serviced
substantially in accordance with the Seller's guidelines, subject to
such variances as are reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule or that
the Seller has approved.
(33) No Mortgage Loan is a High Cost Loan or Covered Loan,
as applicable (as such terms are defined in the then-current version
of Standard & Poor's LEVELS(R) Glossary, which is now Version 5.6(b)
Revised, Appendix E) and no Mortgage Loan originated on or after
October 1, 2002 through March 6, 2003 is governed by the Georgia Fair
Lending Act (Exclusion Representation).
(34) The Pooling and Servicing Agreement creates a valid and
continuing "security interest" (as defined in Section 1-201(37) of
the UCC) in each Mortgage Note in favor of the Trustee, which
security interest is prior to all other liens and is enforceable as
such against creditors of and purchasers from the Depositor. Each
Mortgage Note constitutes "promissory notes" (as defined in Section
9-102(a)(65) of the UCC). Immediately before the assignment of each
Mortgage Note to the Trustee, the Depositor had good and marketable
title to such Mortgage Note free and clear of any lien, claim,

origination of the Mortgage Loan

defined in the Massachusetts Predatory Home Loan Practices Act
effective November 7, 2004 (Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 183C).
(37) The Pooling and Servicing Agreement creates a valid and
continuing "security interest" (as defined in Section 1-201(37) of
the UCC) in each Mortgage Note in favor of the Trustee, which
security interest is prior to all other liens and is enforceable as
such against creditors of and purchasers from the Depositor. Each
Mortgage Note constitutes "promissory notes" (as defined in Section
9-102(a)(65) of the UCC). Immediately before the assignment of each

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as IndyMac MBS, Inc. Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, of the
Series specified on the face hereof (herein collectively called the
"Certificates"), and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust
Fund created by the Agreement.
The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees
that it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account
for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the
Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the
Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any
liability under the Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and
reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations
of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trustee.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made
on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the
Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing on
the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in
whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the
applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage
Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be
distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate
belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement. The Record Date
applicable to each Distribution Date is the last Business Day of the month
next preceding the month of such Distribution Date.
Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or
other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder
shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days
prior to the Record Date and such Certificateholder shall satisfy the
conditions to receive such form of payment set forth in the Agreement, or, if
not, by check mailed by first class mail to the address of such
Certificateholder appearing in the Certificate Register. The final
distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon
presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office or
such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such
final distribution.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any
time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of
the Holders of Certificates affected by such amendment evidencing the
requisite Percentage Interest, as provided in the Agreement. Any such consent
by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such
Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate
issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof
whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The
Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited
circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
E-1
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the
Certificate Register of the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for
registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency
maintained by the Trustee, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in
form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed
by the holder hereof or such holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized
denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the
Trust Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates
are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized
denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee and
any agent of the Depositor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name
this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and
neither the Depositor, the Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by
any notice to the contrary.
On any Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the mortgage pool is less than 10% of the
Cut-off Date Pool Principal Balance, the Master Servicer will have the option
to repurchase, in whole, from the Trust Fund all remaining Mortgage Loans in
the mortgage pool and all property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loans
in the mortgage pool at a purchase price determined as provided in the
Agreement. In the event that no such optional termination occurs, the
obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will terminate upon
the later of the maturity or other liquidation (or any advance with respect
thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund or the
disposition of all property in respect thereof and the distribution to
Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed pursuant to the
Agreement. In no event, however, will the trust created by the Agreement
continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor
of the descendants living at the date of the Agreement of a certain person
named in the Agreement.
Any term used herein that is defined in the Agreement shall have the
meaning assigned in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed

IndyMac MBS, Inc.
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates
Series 2005-A11CB
STATE OF CALIFORNIA )
: ss.:
COUNTY OF _____________ )
The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:
1. The undersigned is an officer of ______________, the proposed
Transferee of an Ownership Interest in a Class [I-A-R]/[II-A-R] Certificate
(the "Certificate") issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
(the "Agreement"), relating to the above-referenced Series, by and among
IndyMac MBS, Inc., as depositor (the "Depositor"), IndyMac Bank, F.S.B., as
seller and master servicer and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as
Trustee. Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein or in Exhibit 1
hereto, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement. The
Transferee has authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit on behalf of
the Transferee.
2. The Transferee is, 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.
3. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax
will be imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not
Permitted Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if
such Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or
middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and
(iii) the Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability
for the tax if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit
that such subsequent Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of
Transfer, such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is
false.
4. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax
will be imposed on a "pass-through entity" holding the Certificate if at any
time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a
Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity. The
Transferee understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with
respect to which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an
affidavit that such record holder is a Permitted Transferee and the
pass-through entity does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is
false. (For this purpose, a "pass-through entity" includes a regulated
investment company, a real estate investment trust or common trust fund, a
partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives and, except as may be
provided in Treasury Regulations, persons holding interests in pass-through
entities as a nominee for another Person.)
5. The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of
the Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and incorporated herein by
reference) and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an
Ownership Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the
restrictions on subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the
Transfer and mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by
and to abide by the provisions of Section 5.02(c)
I-1
of the Agreement and the restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate.
The Transferee understands and agrees that any breach of any of the
representations included herein shall render the Transfer to the Transferee
contemplated hereby null and void.
6. The Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any
Person to whom the Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in
the Certificate, and in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the
Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not
Transfer its Ownership Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be
Transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is not a Permitted
Transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the
Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the
form set forth as Exhibit J to the Agreement (a "Transferor Certificate") to
the effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to
which the Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.
7. The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the
assessment or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect
to the Certificate.
8. The Transferee's taxpayer identification number is _______________.
9. The Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code Section
7701(a)(30).
10. The Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a
"noneconomic residual interest" within the meaning of 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.
11. The Transferee is not a foreign permanent establishment or fixed
base (within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty) of a U.S.
taxpayer.
12. The Transferee will not transfer the Certificates, directly or
indirectly, to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base (within the
meaning of an applicable income tax treaty) of the Transferee or another U.S.
taxpayer.
13. The Transferee will not cause income from the Certificates to be
attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base (within the
meaning of an applicable income tax treaty) of the Transferee or another U.S.
taxpayer.
14. Either:
(a) (i) At the time of the transfer, and at the close of
each of the Transferee's two fiscal years preceding the Transferee's
fiscal year of transfer, the Transferee's gross assets for financial
reporting purposes exceed $100 million and its net assets for
financial reporting purposes exceed $10 million. For purposes of the
preceding sentence, the gross assets and net assets of a Transferee
do not include any obligation of any Related Person, as defined
below, or any other asset if a principal purpose for holding or
acquiring the other asset is to permit the Transferee to satisfy the
conditions of this paragraph 15(a); (ii) The Transferee is an
Eligible Corporation, as defined below, and hereby agrees that any
subsequent transfer of the interest will be to another Eligible

associated with the residual interest; or
I-2
(b)(i) The Transferee is a United States Person; (ii) The
present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with
holding the residual interest does not exceed the sum of: (A) The
present value of any consideration given to the Transferee to acquire
the interest; (B) The present value of the expected future
distributions on the interest; and (C) The present value of the
anticipated tax savings associated with holding the interest as any
REMIC generates losses; and (iii) For purposes of calculating the
aforementioned present values: (A) The transferee has assumed that it
pays tax at a rate equal to the highest rate of tax specified in Code
Section 11(b)(1) (unless the Transferee has been subject to the
alternative minimum tax under Code Section 55 in the preceding two
years and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year
using the alternative minimum tax rate, in which case the Transferee
can assume that it pays tax at the rate specified in Code Section
55(b)(1)(B) provided the Transferee states in this Transfer Affidavit
that it is using such alternate rate and that has been subject to the
alternative minimum tax under Code Section 55 in the preceding two
years and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year
using the alternative minimum tax rate):and (B) The Transferee uses a
discount rate equal to the Federal short-term rate prescribed by
section 1274(d) for the month of the transfer and the compounding
period used by the Transferee.
The term "Eligible Corporation" means any domestic C corporation (as
defined in section 1361(a)(2) of the Code) other than a corporation which is
exempt from, or is not subject to, tax under section 11 of the Code, an entity
described in section 851(a) or 856(a) of the Code, a REMIC; or an organization
to which part I, subchapter T, chapter 1, subtitle A of the Code applies. The
Term "Related Person" means any person that bears a relationship to the
Transferee enumerated in section 267(b) or 707(b)(1) of the Code, using "20
percent" instead of "50 percent" where it appears under the provisions; or is
under common control (within the meaning of section 52(a) and (b) of the Code)
with the Transferee.
15. Either (i) the Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is
subject to ERISA or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, and
the Transferee is not acting on behalf of or with plan assets of such a plan;
or (ii) the Transferee is an insurance company that is investing funds
contained in an "insurance company general account" (as such term is defined
in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 ("PTCE 95-60")
and the purchase and holding of the Class [I-A-R]/[II-A-R] Certificate satisfy
the requirements for exemptive relief under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60.

Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement
(c) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or
acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the
following provisions, and the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following
provisions:
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted
Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trustee of any
change or impending change in its status as a Permitted
Transferee.
(ii) No Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate may be registered on the Closing Date or
thereafter transferred, and the Trustee shall not register
the Transfer of any Residual Certificate unless, in addition

under subparagraph (b) above, the Trustee shall have been
furnished with an affidavit (a "Transfer Affidavit") of the
initial owner or the proposed transferee in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit I.
(iii) Each Person holding or acquiring any
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall agree (A)
to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any other Person to whom

entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a
Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted
Transferee at the time it became a Holder or, at such
subsequent time as it became other than a Permitted
Transferee, all payments made on such Residual Certificate
at and after either such time. Any such payments so
recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and delivered by the
Trustee to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such
