ARTICLE II

ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES
Section 2.01 Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.
The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof,
does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Trustee
without recourse for the benefit of the Certificateholders all the right, title
and interest of the Depositor, including any security interest therein for the
benefit of the Depositor, in and to the Mortgage Loans identified on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule, the rights of the Depositor under the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement (other than the Depositor's rights under Section 17 thereof),
and all other assets included or to be included in REMIC 1A or REMIC 1B. Such
assignment includes all scheduled payments on the Mortgage Loans due after the
Cut-off Date and all unscheduled collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans
received after March 1, 2002 (other than the portion of such collections due on
or prior to the Cut-off Date). The Depositor herewith delivers to the Trust
Administrator on behalf of the Trustee an executed copy of the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement and the PMI Policy.
If the assignment and transfer of the Mortgage Loans and the other
property specified in Section 2.01 from the Depositor to the Trustee pursuant to
this Agreement is held or deemed not to be a sale or is held or deemed to be a
pledge of security for a loan, the Depositor intends that
81
the rights and obligations of the parties shall be established pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement and that, in such event, (i) the Depositor shall be
deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Trustee as of the Closing
Date a perfected, first priority security interest in the entire right, title
and interest of the Depositor in and to the Mortgage Loans and all other
property conveyed to the Trust Fund pursuant to this Section 2.01 and all
proceeds thereof and (ii) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement
under applicable law.
In connection with such transfer and assignment, the Depositor does
hereby deliver to, and deposit with, the Trust Administrator as custodian for
the Trustee (in which capacity it will, unless otherwise specified, be acting
under this Article II) the following documents or instruments with respect to
each Mortgage Loan so transferred and assigned (with respect to each Mortgage
Loan, a "Mortgage File"):
(a) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed in blank or in the following
form: "Pay to the order of Bankers Trust Company of California, N.A., as Trust
Administrator for the benefit of First Union National Bank, as Trustee under the
applicable agreement, without recourse," with all prior and intervening
endorsements showing a complete chain of endorsement from the originator to the
Person so endorsing to the Trustee or (in the case of not more than 1.00% of the
Mortgage Loans, by aggregate principal balance as of the Cut-off Date) a copy of
such original Mortgage Note with an accompanying Lost Note Affidavit executed by
the Seller;
(b) the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon, and a
copy, certified by the appropriate recording office, of the recorded power of
attorney, if the Mortgage was executed pursuant to a power of attorney, with
evidence of recording thereon;
(c) an original Assignment in blank;
(d) the original recorded Assignment or Assignments showing a complete
chain of assignment from the originator to the Person assigning the Mortgage to
the Trustee or in blank;
(e) the original or copies of each assumption, modification, written
assurance or substitution agreement, if any; and
(f) the original lender's title insurance policy, together with all
endorsements or riders issued with or subsequent to the issuance of such policy
(or a copy of the above, in the case of the Washington Mutual Mortgage Loans),
insuring the priority of the Mortgage as a first lien on the Mortgaged Property
represented therein as a fee interest vested in the Mortgagor, or in the event
such title policy is unavailable, a written commitment or uniform binder or
preliminary report of title issued by the title insurance or escrow company.
The Master Servicer, in its capacity as Seller, shall promptly (and in
no event later than thirty (30) Business Days, subject to extension upon a
mutual agreement between the Master Servicer and the Trustee), following the
later of the Closing Date and the date of receipt by the Master Servicer of the
recording information for a Mortgage submit or cause to be submitted for
recording, at no expense to the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator
or the Depositor, in the appropriate public office for real property records,
each Assignment referred to in Sections 2.01(c) and (d) above and shall execute
each original Assignment referred to in clause (c) above
82
in the following form: "Bankers Trust Company of California, N.A., as Trust
Administrator for the benefit of First Union National Bank, as Trustee under
applicable agreement, without recourse." In the event that any such Assignment
is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Master Servicer,
in its capacity as Seller, shall promptly prepare or cause to be prepared a
substitute Assignment or cure or cause to be cured such defect, as the case may
be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly recorded.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, for administrative convenience and
facilitation of servicing and to reduce closing costs, the Assignments shall not
be required to be completed and submitted for recording with respect to any
Mortgage Loan if either (x) the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the NIMS
Insurer, the Guarantor and each Rating Agency has received an opinion of
counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the
NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor and each Rating Agency, to the effect that the
recordation of such Assignments in any specific jurisdiction is not necessary to
protect the Trust's interest in the related Mortgage Note or (y) each Rating
Agency shall have determined that no such opinion is required in order for such
Rating Agency to assign the initial ratings to the Class II-A Certificates, the
Class II-S Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the NIM Notes; provided
further, however, notwithstanding the delivery of any opinion of counsel, each
Assignment shall be submitted for recording by the Master Servicer, in its
capacity as Seller, in the manner described above, at no expense to the Trust
Fund, the Trustee, or the Trust Administrator, upon the earliest to occur of:
(i) reasonable direction by Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of
the Voting Rights, (ii) the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default,
(iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the
Seller, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02
hereof and (iv) if the Seller is not the Master Servicer and with respect to any
one Assignment, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure
relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Master Servicer is unable to pay the cost of recording the
Assignments, such expense shall be paid by the Trust Administrator and shall be
reimbursable to the Trust Administrator as an Extraordinary Trust Fund Expense.
If any of the documents referred to in Sections 2.01(b), (c), (d) or
(e) above (collectively, the "Recording Documents") has as of the Closing Date
been submitted for recording but either (x) has not been returned from the
applicable public recording office or (y) has been lost or such public recording
office has retained the original of such document, the obligations of the
Depositor to deliver such Recording Documents shall be deemed to be satisfied
upon (1) delivery to the Trust Administrator of a copy of each such Recording
Document certified by the Seller in the case of (x) above or the applicable
public recording office in the case of (y) above to be a true and complete copy
of the original that was submitted for recording and (2) if such copy is
certified by the Seller, delivery to the Trust Administrator promptly upon
receipt thereof, and in any event no later than one year after the Closing Date,
of either the original or a copy of such Recording Document certified by the
applicable public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the
original. In instances where, due to a delay on the part of the recording office
where any such Recording Documents have been delivered for recordation, the
Recording Documents cannot be delivered to the Trustee within one year after
execution and delivery hereof, the Depositor shall deliver to the Trustee within
such time period an Officer's Certificate stating the date by which the
Depositor expects to receive such Recording Documents from the applicable
recording office. In the event that Recording Documents have still not been
received by the Depositor and delivered to the Trustee by the date specified in
its previous Officer's Certificate delivered to the Trustee, the Depositor shall
deliver to the Trustee by such date an additional Officer's Certificate stating
a revised date by which the Depositor expects to receive the
83
applicable Recording Documents. This procedure shall be repeated until the
Recording Documents have been received by the Depositor and delivered to the
Trustee. If the original lender's title insurance policy (or a copy thereof, in
the case of the Washington Mutual Mortgage Loans) was not delivered pursuant to
Section 2.01(f) above, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to
the Trust Administrator promptly after receipt thereof, and in any event within
120 days after the Closing Date, the original lender's title insurance policy
(or a copy thereof, in the case of the Washington Mutual Mortgage Loans). The
Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trust Administrator
promptly upon receipt thereof any other original documents constituting a part
of a Mortgage File received with respect to any Mortgage Loan, including, but
not limited to, any original documents evidencing an assumption or modification
of any Mortgage Loan.
All original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans that are not
delivered to the Trust Administrator are and shall be held by or on behalf of
the Seller, the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, in trust
for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. In the event
that any such original document is required pursuant to the terms of this
Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, such document shall be delivered
promptly to the Trust Administrator. Any such original document delivered to or
held by the Depositor that is not required pursuant to the terms of this Section
to be a part of a Mortgage File, shall be delivered promptly to the Master
Servicer.
Section 2.02 Acceptance of REMIC 1A and REMIC 1B by the Trustee.
Subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to any exceptions
noted on the exception report described in the next paragraph below, the Trust
Administrator on behalf of the Trustee acknowledges receipt of the documents
referred to in Section 2.01 above and all other assets included in the
definition of "REMIC 1A" under clauses (i), (iii), (iv) and (vi) (to the extent
of amounts deposited into the Distribution Account) and the definition of REMIC
1B under clauses (i), (iii), (iv) and (v) (to the extent of amounts deposited
into the Distribution Account) and declares that it holds and will hold such
documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting the Mortgage
File, and all such assets and such other assets included in the definition of
"REMIC 1A" and "REMIC 1B" in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all
present and future Certificateholders.
The Trust Administrator agrees, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, to review each Mortgage File on or before the Closing Date,
with respect to each Mortgage Loan and to certify to the Trustee, the Guarantor,
the NIMS Insurer, the Depositor and the Master Servicer in substantially the
form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1 that, as to each Closing Date Mortgage Loan
listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full
or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception report annexed
thereto as not being covered by such certification), (i) all documents
constituting part of such Mortgage File (other than such documents described in
Section 2.01(e)) required to be delivered to it pursuant to this Agreement are
in its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by the Trust
Administrator and are not mutilated, torn or defaced unless initialed by the
related borrower and relate to such Mortgage Loan and (iii) based on the Trust
Administrator's examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set
forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items (i), (ii), (ix),
(xii), (xiv) (to the extent of the Periodic Rate Cap for the first Adjustment
Date and subsequent Adjustment Dates) and (xvi) of the definition of "Mortgage
Loan Schedule"
84
accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File. It is herein
acknowledged that, in conducting such review, the Trust Administrator was under
no duty or obligation (i) to inspect, review or examine any such documents,
instruments, certificates or other papers to determine whether they are genuine,
enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose (including with respect
to Section 2.01(f), whether such title insurance policy (a) contains all
necessary endorsements, (b) insures the priority of the Mortgage as a first lien
or (c) whether the interest vested in the Mortgagor is a fee interest) or
whether they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they
purport to be on their face or (ii) to determine whether any Mortgage File
should include any of the documents specified in clause (e) of Section 2.01.
Prior to the first anniversary date of this Agreement, the Trust
Administrator shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee,
the NIMS Insurer and the Guarantor a final certification in the form annexed
hereto as Exhibit F-2 evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files, with
any applicable exceptions noted thereon.
If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making or
preparing, as the case may be, the certifications referred to above, the Trust
Administrator finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage
File to be missing or defective in any material respect, at the conclusion of
its review the Trust Administrator shall so notify the Depositor, the Seller,
the Trustee, the Guarantor, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer. In
addition, upon the discovery by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Guarantor, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator of a breach of any of the
representations and warranties made by the Seller in the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially and adversely affects
the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the related
Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach
shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.
Section 2.03 Cure, Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by the Seller;
Remedies for Breaches by Depositor or Master Servicer; Remedies for Breaches
Relating to Prepayment Charges.
(a) Upon discovery or receipt of notice of any materially defective
document in, or that a document is missing from, the Mortgage File or of the
breach by the Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant under the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which
materially and adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest
therein of the Certificateholders (in the case of any such representation or
warranty made to the knowledge or the best of knowledge of the Seller, as to
which the Seller has no knowledge, without regard to the Seller's lack of
knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation or warranty being
inaccurate at the time it was made), the Trust Administrator shall promptly
notify the Depositor, the Seller, the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor and the Master
Servicer of such defect, missing document or breach and request that the Seller
deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach within 90 days from
the date the Seller was notified of such missing document, defect or breach, and
if the Seller does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or
breach in all material respects during such period, the Master Servicer (or, in
accordance with Section 3.02(b), the Trustee or the Trust Administrator) shall
enforce the obligations of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from REMIC 1A or REMIC 1B at the Purchase Price
within 90 days after the date on which the Seller was notified (subject to
Section 2.03(e))
85
of such missing document, defect or breach, if and to the extent that the Seller
is obligated to do so under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The Purchase
Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Collection
Account, and the Trust Administrator, upon receipt of written certification from
the Master Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the Seller the related
Mortgage File, and the Trust Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall
execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case
without recourse, as the Seller shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to
vest in the Seller any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto, and neither the
Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall have any further responsibility with
regard to such Mortgage File. In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as
provided above, if so provided in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the
Seller may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from REMIC 1A or REMIC 1B (in
which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations
set forth in Section 2.03(d). It is understood and agreed that the obligation of
the Seller to cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as
to which a document is missing, a material defect in a constituent document
exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall
constitute the sole remedy respecting such omission, defect or breach available
to the Certificateholders, the Trust Administrator on behalf of the Trustee, the
Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, and the NIMS Insurer and the
Guarantor.
(b) Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Depositor or
receipt of notice by the Depositor of the breach of any representation or
warranty of the Depositor set forth in Section 2.05 with respect to any Mortgage
Loan, which materially adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the
interest therein of the Certificateholders, the Depositor shall cure such breach
in all material respects.
(c) As promptly as practicable (and no later than 90 days) after the
earlier of discovery by the Master Servicer or receipt of notice by the Master
Servicer of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Master
Servicer set forth in Section 2.04 which materially and adversely affects the
value of any Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders in any
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall cure such breach in all material
respects.
Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Master Servicer or
receipt of notice by the Master Servicer of the breach of any representation,
warranty or covenant of the Master Servicer set forth in Section 2.04(a)(vii) or
(viii) which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Holders of
the Class P Certificates to any Prepayment Charge, the Master Servicer shall
cure such breach in all material respects. If the representation made by the
Master Servicer in its capacity as Seller in Section 2.04(a)(vii) is breached,
the Master Servicer in its capacity as Seller shall pay into the Collection
Account the amount of the scheduled Prepayment Charge, less any amount
previously collected and deposited by, or paid by, the Master Servicer into the
Collection Account; and if the covenant made by the Master Servicer in Section
2.04(a)(viii) is breached, the Master Servicer shall pay into the Collection
Account the amount of the waived Prepayment Charge.
(d) Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for Deleted
Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) shall be effected prior to the
date which is two years after the Startup Date for REMIC 1A or REMIC 1B.
86
As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller substitutes a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected
by the Seller delivering to the Trust Administrator on behalf of the Trustee,
for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the
Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents and
agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by Section
2.01, together with an Officers' Certificate providing that each such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the
Substitution Shortfall Amounts (as described below), if any, in connection with
such substitution. The Trust Administrator shall acknowledge receipt for such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within ten Business Days
thereafter, review such documents as specified in Section 2.02 and deliver to
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the
Guarantor, with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a
certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1, with any
applicable exceptions noted thereon. Within one year of the date of
substitution, the Trust Administrator shall deliver to the Depositor, the
Seller, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor and the Master Servicer a
certification substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 hereto with respect to
such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any applicable exceptions
noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of REMIC 1A or REMIC
1B, as the case may be, and will be retained by the Seller. For the month of
substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the Monthly
Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan on or before the Due Date in the month
of substitution, and the Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain all
amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The
Trust Administrator shall give or cause to be given written notice to the
Guarantor, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Certificateholders that such
substitution has taken place, and the Master Servicer shall amend or cause to be
amended the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted
Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall deliver a copy of such
amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Guarantor, the NIMS Insurer, the Trust
Administrator and the Trustee. Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be
subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, including all applicable representations and warranties
thereof included in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement as of the date of
substitution.
For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master
Servicer will determine the amounts (the "Substitution Shortfall Amounts"), if
any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans in
Loan Group I or Loan Group II, respectively, exceeds the aggregate of the Stated
Principal Balance of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans that will become
part of Loan Group I or Loan Group II, respectively, as of the date of
substitution, together with one month's interest on such Stated Principal
Balance at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate, plus all outstanding Advances and
Servicing Advances with respect to such Deleted Mortgage Loan. On the date of
such substitution, the Seller will deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the sum
of Substitution Shortfall Amounts, if any, and the Trust Administrator, upon
receipt of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and
certification by the Master Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the
Seller the related Mortgage File or Files and the Trust Administrator, on behalf
of the Trustee, or the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of
transfer or
87
assignment, without recourse, as the Seller shall deliver to it and as shall be
necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
In addition, the Master Servicer in its capacity as Seller shall obtain
at its own expense and deliver to the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor, the Trust
Administrator and the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on REMIC 1A or
REMIC 1B, created hereunder, including without limitation, any federal tax
imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on
"contributions after the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or
(b) any Trust REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificate is outstanding.
(e) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer,
the Trust Administrator or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not
constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of
the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within two Business Days give
written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Master
Servicer in its capacity as Seller shall repurchase or, subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d), substitute one or more Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the
earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected
Mortgage Loan. Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same
manner as set forth in Section 2.03(a). The Trustee and the Trust Administrator
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.

valid and binding
88
obligation of the Master Servicer, enforceable against the Master Servicer in

jurisdiction over the Master Servicer; and the Master Servicer is not a party
to, bound by, or in breach or violation of any indenture or other agreement or
instrument, or subject to or in violation of any statute, order or regulation of

Agreement or (y) the business, operations, financial condition, properties or
assets of the Master Servicer taken as a whole;

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 3.01 Master Servicer to Act as Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans on
behalf of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator and in the best interests of
and for the benefit of the Certificateholders (as determined by the Master
Servicer in its reasonable judgment) in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and the respective Mortgage Loans and, to the extent consistent with
such terms, in the same manner in which it services and administers similar
mortgage loans for its own portfolio, giving due consideration to customary and
usual standards of practice of mortgage lenders and loan servicers administering
similar mortgage loans in the local areas where the related Mortgaged Property
is located but without regard to:
(i) any relationship that the Master Servicer, any
Sub-Servicer or any Affiliate of the Master Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer may have with the related Mortgagor;
(ii) the ownership or non-ownership of any Certificate by the
Master Servicer or any Affiliate of the Master Servicer;
(ii) the Master Servicer's obligation to make Advances or
Servicing Advances; or
(iv) the Master Servicer's or any Sub-Servicer's right to
receive compensation for its services hereunder or with respect to any
particular transaction.
To the extent consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall
seek to maximize the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on
the Mortgage Notes. Subject only to the above-described servicing standards and
the terms of this Agreement and of the respective Mortgage Loans, the Master
Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through
Sub-Servicers as provided in Section 3.02, to do or cause to be done any and all
things in connection with such servicing and administration in accordance with
policies and procedures
94
generally accepted in the mortgage banking industry. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer in its own name or in the name
of a Sub-Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee and the
Trust Administrator when the Master Servicer believes it appropriate in its best
judgment in accordance with the servicing standards set forth above, to execute
and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator, and upon notice to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, any
and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full
release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the
Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure
proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the
ownership of such properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such
properties, on behalf of the Trustee and Certificateholders. The Master Servicer
shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable
state and federal law and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required
to be provided to them thereby. The Master Servicer shall also comply in the
performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each
insurer under any standard hazard insurance policy. Subject to Section 3.17, the
Trust Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall execute, at the written
request of the Master Servicer, and furnish to the Master Servicer and any
Sub-Servicer such documents as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Master
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer to carry out their servicing and administrative
duties hereunder, and the Trustee and the Trust Administrator each hereby grants
to the Master Servicer and each Sub-Servicer a power of attorney to carry out
such duties including a power of attorney to take title to Mortgaged Properties
after foreclosure on behalf of the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and the
Certificateholders. The Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall execute a
separate power of attorney in favor of the Master Servicer and/or each
Sub-Servicer for the purposes described herein to the extent necessary or
desirable to enable the Master Servicer to perform its duties hereunder. Neither
the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be liable for the actions of the
Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicers under such powers of attorney.
Subject to Section 3.09 hereof, in accordance with the standards of the
preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced
funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the timely payment of taxes and
assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be Servicing
Advances reimbursable in the first instance from collections on the related
Mortgage Loans from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and further as
provided in Section 3.11. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or by
Sub-Servicers in effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on a
Mortgaged Property shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to
Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related
Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master
Servicer may not make any future advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan
(except as provided in Section 4.04) and the Master Servicer shall not (i)
permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the
Mortgage Rate, reduce or increase the principal balance (except for reductions
resulting from actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date
on such Mortgage Loan (unless, as provided in Section 3.07, the Mortgagor is in
default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of
the Master Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) or (ii) permit any modification,
waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would both (A) effect
an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under
95
Section 1001 of the Code (or final, temporary or proposed Treasury regulations
promulgated thereunder) and (B) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a
REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on "prohibited transactions"
or "contributions after the startup date" under the REMIC Provisions.
The Master Servicer may delegate its responsibilities under this
Agreement; provided, however, that no such delegation shall release the Master
Servicer from the responsibilities or liabilities arising under this Agreement.
For each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will accurately and fully
report its borrower credit files to each of the Credit Repositories in a timely
manner.
Section 3.02 Sub-Servicing Agreements Between the Master Servicer and
Sub-Servicers.
(a) The Master Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements
provided (i) that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a
downgrading by any Rating Agency of the ratings on any Class of Certificates or
any of the NIM Notes, as evidenced by a letter to that effect delivered by each
Rating Agency to the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Guarantor and (ii)
that, except in the case of any Sub-Servicing Agreements the Master Servicer may
enter into with Washington Mutual, Inc. or any Affiliate thereof, the NIMS
Insurer or the Guarantor (as provided in Section 1.04) shall have consented to
such Sub-Servicing Agreements (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld)
with Sub-Servicers, for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans.
That certain Subservicing Agreement by and between the Master Servicer and
Washington Mutual Bank, FA dated April 9, 2001 is hereby acknowledged as being
permitted under this Agreement and meeting the requirements applicable to
Sub-Servicing Agreements set forth in this Agreement. The Trustee and the Trust
Administrator are hereby authorized to acknowledge, at the request of the Master
Servicer, any Sub-Servicing Agreement that meets the requirements applicable to
Sub-Servicing Agreements set forth in this Agreement and that is otherwise
permitted under this Agreement.
Each Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the
state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are
situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the
Sub-Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing
Agreement, (ii) an institution approved as a mortgage loan originator by the
Federal Housing Administration or an institution the deposit accounts in which
are insured by the FDIC and (iii) a Xxxxxx Xxx approved mortgage servicer. Each
Sub-Servicing Agreement must impose on the Sub-Servicer requirements conforming
to the provisions set forth in Section 3.08. The Master Servicer will examine
each Sub-Servicing Agreement and will be familiar with the terms thereof. The
terms of any Sub-Servicing Agreement will not be inconsistent with any of the
provisions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer and the Sub-Servicers may
enter into and make amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into
different forms of Sub-Servicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such
amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the
provisions of this Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form shall
be made or entered into which could be reasonably expected to be materially
adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders, without the consent of the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any
variation without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at
least 66% of the Voting Rights from the provisions set forth in Section 3.08
relating to insurance or priority requirements of
96
Sub-Servicing Accounts, or credits and charges to the Sub-Servicing Accounts or
the timing and amount of remittances by the Sub-Servicers to the Master
Servicer, are conclusively deemed to be inconsistent with this Agreement and
therefore prohibited. The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Guarantor, the
NIMS Insurer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee copies of all
Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments or modifications thereof, promptly
upon the Master Servicer's execution and delivery of such instruments.
(b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master Servicer
(except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of this paragraph), for the
benefit of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Certificateholders,
shall enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related
Sub-Servicing Agreement and, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, of
the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement including, without
limitation, any obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments as
required by a Sub-Servicing Agreement, or to purchase or otherwise remedy as
contemplated herein a Mortgage Loan on account of missing or defective
documentation or on account of a breach of a representation, warranty or
covenant, as described in Section 2.03(a). Such enforcement, including, without
limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing
Agreements, and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form
and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in
its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related
Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at
its own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general
recovery resulting from such enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such
recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans or
(ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys' fees against the
party against whom such enforcement is directed. Enforcement of the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement against the Seller shall be effected by the Master
Servicer to the extent it is not the Seller, and otherwise by the Trust
Administrator or the Trustee, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of
this paragraph.
Section 3.03 Successor Sub-Servicers.
The Master Servicer, with the written consent of the NIMS Insurer or
the Guarantor (as provided in Section 1.04), shall be entitled to terminate any
Sub-Servicing Agreement and the rights and obligations of any Sub-Servicer
pursuant to any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and
conditions of such Sub-Servicing Agreement. In the event of termination of any
Sub-Servicer, all servicing obligations of such Sub-Servicer shall be assumed
simultaneously by the Master Servicer without any act or deed on the part of
such Sub-Servicer or the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer either shall
service directly the related Mortgage Loans or shall enter into a Sub-Servicing
Agreement with a successor Sub-Servicer which qualifies under Section 3.02.
Any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall include the provision that such
agreement may be immediately terminated by the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator without fee, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and
the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall so terminate such Sub-Servicing
Agreement at the direction of the NIMS Insurer or the Guarantor (as provided in
Section 1.04) in the event that the Master Servicer (or the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, if then acting as Master Servicer) shall, for any reason, no
longer be the Master Servicer (including termination due to a Master Servicer
Event of Default).
97
Section 3.04 Liability of the Master Servicer.
Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions of
this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master
Servicer and a Sub-Servicer or reference to actions taken through a Sub-Servicer
or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to
the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of
the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01 without
diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Sub-Servicing
Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Sub-Servicer
and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Master
Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Master
Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Sub-Servicer for
indemnification of the Master Servicer by such Sub-Servicer and nothing
contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification and no such indemnification shall be an expense of the Trust.
Section 3.05 No Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicers and the NIMS
Insurer, the Guarantor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or
Certificateholders.
Any Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any
transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer
in its capacity as such shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the
Master Servicer alone, and the Trust Administrator, the Trustee, the NIMS
Insurer, the Guarantor and the Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties
thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities
with respect to the Sub-Servicer except as set forth in Section 3.06. The Master
Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any Sub-Servicer,
irrespective of whether the Master Servicer's compensation pursuant to this
Agreement is sufficient to pay such fees and such fees shall not be an expense
of the Trust.
Section 3.06 Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements by Trust
Administrator.
In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the
master servicer (including by reason of the occurrence of a Master Servicer
Event of Default), the Trust Administrator or its designee shall thereupon
assume all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under each
Sub-Servicing Agreement that the Master Servicer may have entered into, unless
the Trustee or the Trust Administrator elects to terminate any Sub-Servicing
Agreement in accordance with its terms as provided in Section 3.03. Upon such
assumption, the Trust Administrator, its designee or the successor servicer for
the Trust Administrator appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 shall be deemed,
subject to Section 3.03, to have assumed all of the Master Servicer's interest
therein and to have replaced the Master Servicer as a party to each
Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if each Sub-Servicing Agreement
had been assigned to the assuming party, except that (i) the Master Servicer
shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under any
Sub-Servicing Agreement that arose before it ceased to be the Master Servicer
and (ii) none of the Trust Administrator, its designee or any successor Master
Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed any liability or obligation of the
Master Servicer that arose before it ceased to be the Master Servicer.
98
The Master Servicer at its own expense and without reimbursement shall,
upon request of the Trust Administrator, deliver to the assuming party all
documents and records relating to each Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage
Loans then being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by or
on behalf of it, and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and
efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing Agreements to the assuming party.
Section 3.07 Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.
The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all
payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and
shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and
the terms and provisions of any applicable insurance policies, follow such
collection procedures as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans
comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Consistent with
the foregoing, the Master Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late
payment charge or, if applicable, any penalty interest, or (ii) extend the due
dates for the Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not
greater than 180 days; provided that any extension pursuant to this clause (ii)
shall not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of
any computation hereunder, except as provided below. In the event of any such
arrangement pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Master Servicer shall make timely
advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant to Section 4.04
and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without
modification thereof by reason of such arrangements, subject to Section 4.04(d)
pursuant to which the Master Servicer shall not be required to make any such
advances that are Nonrecoverable Advances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event that any Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment of the Master
Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, the Master Servicer,
consistent with the standards set forth in Section 3.01, may also waive, modify
or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including modifications that would
change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest or extend
the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan no later than two years with
respect to a Group I Mortgage Loan), accept payment from the related Mortgagor
of an amount less than the Stated Principal Balance in final satisfaction of
such Mortgage Loan (such payment, a "Short Pay-off") or consent to the
postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant
indulgence to any Mortgagor; provided, that in the judgment of the Master
Servicer, any such modification, waiver or amendment could reasonably be
expected to result in collections and other recoveries in respect of such
Mortgage Loans in excess of Net Liquidation Proceeds that would be recovered
upon the foreclosure of, or other realization upon, such Mortgage Loan and
provided further, that the NIMS Insurer's prior written consent shall be
required for any modification, waiver or amendment if the aggregate number of
outstanding Mortgage Loans which have been modified, waived or amended exceeds
5% of the number of Closing Date Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date. If the
Component Principal Balance of the I-M3 Component has been reduced to zero and
Class C Certificates are no longer outstanding, the Master Servicer shall not
take any action pursuant to the preceding sentence with respect to a Group I
Mortgage Loan without obtaining the prior written consent of the Guarantor to
such modification. The Master Servicer shall submit to the Guarantor with its
request for consent, such information related to the proposed modification as
can be expected to be needed by the Guarantor to evaluate the Master Servicer's
request, including the terms of the proposed modification and the reasons for
the Master Servicer's decision that such Group I Mortgage Loan should be
modified. The Guarantor shall be deemed to have consented to the Master
Servicer's request in the event that the Guarantor does not either provide the
Master Servicer with its
99
written consent to such requested modification or written notice of its
objection to such modification within five Business Days of its receipt of the
Master Servicer's request. Requests for modification shall be sent to the
Guarantor at: Xxxxxx Xxx, 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, X.X., Xxxxxxxxxx, X.X. 00000,
Attn: Vice President-Loss Mitigation. With respect to each Group I Mortgage Loan
which is modified with the consent of the Guarantor, the Master Servicer shall
give written notice to the NIMS Insurer to the address set forth in Section
11.05 and to the Guarantor to the following address: Xxxxxx Xxx, 0000 Xxxxxxxxx
Xxxxxx, X.X., Xxxxxxxxxx, X.X. 00000, Attn: Bond Administration. Such notice
shall be delivered within thirty Business Days following such modification and
shall include information with respect to the modification, including, without
limitation, the interest rate, the principal balance and the maturity date of
such Group I Mortgage Loan before and after such modification.
Section 3.08 Sub-Servicing Accounts.
In those cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan
pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer shall be required to
establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the "Sub-Servicing
Account"). The Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall be
entitled "Bankers Trust Company of California, N.A., as Trust Administrator for
the benefit of First Union National Bank, as Trustee, in trust for registered
Holders of Long Beach Mortgage Loan Trust 2002-1, Asset-Backed Certificates,
Series 2002-1. The Sub-Servicer shall be required to deposit in the clearing
account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily
deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its
mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than
one Business Day after the Sub-Servicer's receipt thereof, all proceeds of
Mortgage Loans received by the Sub-Servicer less its servicing compensation to
the extent permitted by the Sub-Servicing Agreement, and shall thereafter
deposit such amounts in the Sub-Servicing Account, in no event more than two
Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account. The
Sub-Servicer shall thereafter be required to deposit such proceeds in the
Collection Account or remit such proceeds to the Master Servicer for deposit in
the Collection Account not later than two Business Days after the deposit of
such amounts in the Sub-Servicing Account. For purposes of this Agreement, the
Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on the Mortgage Loans
when the Sub-Servicer receives such payments.
Section 3.09 Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Servicing
Accounts.
The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be
established and maintained, one or more accounts (the "Servicing Accounts").
Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. The Master Servicer shall deposit
in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it
customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection
with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event
more than one Business Day after the Master Servicer's receipt thereof, all
collections from the Mortgagors (or related advances from Sub-Servicers) for the
payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums and comparable items
for the account of the Mortgagors ("Escrow Payments") collected on account of
the Mortgage Loans and shall thereafter deposit such Escrow Payments in the
Servicing Accounts, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of
such funds in the clearing account, for the purpose of effecting the payment of
any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement. Withdrawals of
amounts from a Servicing Account may be made only to (i) effect payment of
taxes,
100
assessments, hazard insurance premiums, and comparable items; (ii) reimburse the
Master Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer to the extent provided in the related
Sub-Servicing Agreement) out of related collections for any advances made
pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to taxes and assessments) and Section
3.14 (with respect to hazard insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as
may be determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and as
described below, to Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing Account; (v) clear
and terminate the Servicing Account upon the termination of the Master
Servicer's obligations and responsibilities in respect of the Mortgage Loans
under this Agreement in accordance with Article IX or (vi) recover amounts
deposited in error. As part of its servicing duties, the Master Servicer or
Sub-Servicers shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in Servicing
Accounts, to the extent required by law and, to the extent that interest earned
on funds in the Servicing Accounts is insufficient, to pay such interest from
its or their own funds, without any reimbursement therefor. To the extent that a
Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Master Servicer shall
determine whether any such payments are made by the Mortgagor in a manner and at
a time that avoids the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the
foreclosure of a tax lien. The Master Servicer assumes full responsibility for
the payment of all such bills within such time and shall effect payments of all
such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor's faithful performance in the payment
of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its
own funds to effect such payments; provided, however, that such advances shall
constitute Servicing Advances.
Section 3.10 Collection Account and Distribution Account.
(a) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall
establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more
accounts (such account or accounts, the "Collection Account"), held in trust for
the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust
Fund, the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the clearing
account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily
deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its
mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than
one Business Day after the Master Servicer's receipt thereof, and shall
thereafter deposit in the Collection Account, in no event more than two Business
Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account, as and when
received or as otherwise required hereunder, the following payments and
collections received or made by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in
respect of principal or interest on the related Mortgage Loans due on or before
the Cut-off Date or payments (other than Principal Prepayments) received by it
on or prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a Due Period subsequent
thereto):
(i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal
Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all payments on account of interest (net of the related
Servicing Fee) on each Mortgage Loan;
(iii) all Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds (other than
proceeds collected in respect of any particular REO Property and
amounts paid by the Master Servicer in connection with a purchase of

101
(iv) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12
in connection with any losses realized on Permitted Investments with

(v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer
pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 3.14(a) in respect of any

(vii) all Substitution Shortfall Amounts;
(viii) all Prepayment Charges collected by the Master Servicer;
and
(ix) without duplication, all payments of claims received by the
Master Servicer under the PMI Policy.
For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the Cut-off Date
with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to be the
date of substitution.
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Accounts shall
be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges, NSF
fees, reconveyance fees, assumption fees and other similar fees and charges
(other than Prepayment Charges) need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in
the Collection Account and shall, upon collection, belong to the Master Servicer
as additional compensation for its servicing activities. In the event the Master
Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amount not required to be
deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection
Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(b) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Trust Administrator, as agent
for the Trustee, shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (such account
or accounts, the "Distribution Account"), held in trust for the benefit of the
Trustee and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Master
Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Administrator in immediately available funds
for deposit in the Distribution Account on or before 3:00 p.m. New York time (i)
on the Master Servicer Remittance Date, that portion of the Group I Available
Funds and the Group II Available Funds (calculated without regard to the
references in the definition thereof to amounts that may be withdrawn from the
Distribution Account) for the related Distribution Date then on deposit in the
Collection Account, the amount of all Prepayment Charges on the Prepayment
Charge Schedule collected by the Master Servicer in connection with any of the
Mortgage Loans and any Master Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts then on
deposit in the Collection Account and the amount of any funds reimbursable to an
Advancing Person pursuant to Section 3.27 and (ii) on each Business Day as of
the commencement of which the balance on deposit in the Collection Account
exceeds $75,000 following any withdrawals pursuant to the next succeeding
sentence, the amount of such excess, but only if the Collection Account
constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to
102
clause (ii) of the definition of "Eligible Account." If the balance on deposit
in the Collection Account exceeds $75,000 as of the commencement of business on
any Business Day and the Collection Account constitutes an Eligible Account
solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of "Eligible Account," the
Master Servicer shall, on or before 3:00 p.m. New York time on such Business
Day, withdraw from the Collection Account any and all amounts payable or
reimbursable to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Seller or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11 and shall
pay such amounts to the Persons entitled thereto.
(c) Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account
may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions set
forth in Section 3.12. The Master Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the
Trust Administrator, the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor and the Depositor of the
location of the Collection Account maintained by it when established and prior
to any change thereof. The Trust Administrator shall give notice to the Master
Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor and the Depositor of the
location of the Distribution Account when established and prior to any change
thereof.
(d) Funds held in the Collection Account at any time may be
delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trust Administrator for deposit in an
account (which may be the Distribution Account and must satisfy the standards
for the Distribution Account as set forth in the definition thereof) and for all
purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a part of the Collection
Account; provided, however, that the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall
have the sole authority to withdraw any funds held pursuant to this subsection
(d). In the event the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Administrator
for deposit in the Distribution Account any amount not required to be deposited
therein, it may at any time request that the Trust Administrator withdraw, and
the Trust Administrator shall withdraw, such amount from the Distribution
Account and remit to the Master Servicer any such amount, any provision herein
to the contrary notwithstanding. In addition, the Master Servicer shall deliver
to the Trust Administrator from time to time for deposit, and the Trust
Administrator shall so deposit, in the Distribution Account:
(i) any Advances, as required pursuant to Section 4.04, unless
delivered directly to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator by an
Advancing Person;
(ii) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section

with a purchase of Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to
Section 9.01;
(iv) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.24
in connection with any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls; and
(v) any Stayed Funds, as soon as permitted by the federal
bankruptcy court having jurisdiction in such matters.
(e) Promptly upon receipt of any Stayed Funds, whether from the
Master Servicer, a trustee in bankruptcy, federal bankruptcy court or other
source, the Trust
103
Administrator shall deposit such funds in the Distribution Account, subject to
withdrawal thereof pursuant to Section 7.02(b) or as otherwise permitted
hereunder.
Section 3.11 Withdrawals from the Collection Account and Distribution Account.
(a) The Master Servicer shall, from time to time, make withdrawals

any Sub-Servicer (a) any unpaid Servicing Fees or (b) any unreimbursed

Advance previously made which the Master Servicer has determined to be

that were included in the Purchase Price of the Mortgage Loan,
including any expenses arising out of the enforcement of the purchase
obligation;

individual Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal
from the Collection Account, to the extent held by or on behalf of it, pursuant
to subclauses (ii), (iii), (v), (vi), (viii) and (ix) above. The Master Servicer
shall provide written notification to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the

bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand,
(i) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such
funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement,
if a Person other than the Trust Administrator is the obligor thereon and (ii)
no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from
such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Trust Administrator is the
obligor thereon. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity,
unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in an Investment Account shall
be made in the name of the Trust Administrator (in its capacity as such), as
agent for the Trustee, or in the name of a nominee of the Trust Administrator.
The Trust Administrator shall be entitled to sole possession (except with
respect to investment direction of funds held in the Collection Account and any
REO Account and any income and gain realized thereon) over each such investment,
and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment shall be
delivered directly to the Trust Administrator or its agent, together with any
document of transfer necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Trust
Administrator or its nominee. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment
Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand,
the Trust Administrator shall:
(x) consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder,
demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such
Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an
amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable
thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn on
such date; and
(y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon
actual notice by a Responsible Officer of the Trust
Administrator that such Permitted Investment would not
constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds
thereafter on deposit in the Investment Account.
(b) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds
deposited in the Collection Account and any REO Account held by or on behalf of
the Master Servicer shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer and shall be
subject to its withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.11 or Section 3.23, as
applicable. The Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account or any
REO Account, as applicable, the amount of any loss of principal incurred in
respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such accounts
immediately upon realization of such loss.
(c) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds
deposited in the Distribution Account held by or on behalf of the Trust
Administrator shall be for the benefit of the Trust Administrator and shall be
subject to its withdrawal at any time. The Trust Administrator shall deposit in
the Distribution Account, the amount of any loss of principal incurred in
respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such accounts
immediately upon realization of such loss.
106
(d) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if
any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted
Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any
Permitted Investment, the Trust Administrator may, and subject to Section 8.01
and Section 8.02(v), upon the request of the Holders of Certificates
representing more than 50% of the Voting Rights allocated to any Class of
Certificates shall, take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such
payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate
proceedings.
Section 3.13 Agreement to Appoint a Special Servicer.
(a) The Guarantor may require the Master Servicer to enter into a
special subservicing agreement with a servicer with expertise in servicing
delinquent mortgage loans as designated by the Guarantor (the "Special
Servicer") on or after the earliest Distribution Date with respect to which the
aggregate Component Principal Balance of the I-M3 Component and the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class C Certificates has been reduced to
zero. Such special subservicing agreement shall relate to the servicing of only
Group I Mortgage Loans that (x) have been delinquent in payment with respect to
three or more Monthly Payments (provided, however, that the third such Monthly
Payment shall not be deemed to be delinquent for purposes of this clause (x)
until the close of business on the last day of the month in which such Monthly
Payment first became due) and (y) have been transferred to the Special Servicer
in accordance with this Section 3.13 and the related special subservicing
agreement (a "Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan").
(b) The special subservicing agreement shall be consistent with
the provisions of this Agreement, including but not limited to this Section
3.13, Section 3.02 (a), Section 3.02 (b), and Section 3.08, except as provided
otherwise in this Section 3.13. In addition, the special subservicing agreement
shall be on terms which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Guarantor and the
Master Servicer and shall provide, at a minimum that:
(1) the Special Servicer shall at all times, meet the eligibility
criteria described in Section 3.02(a);
(2) the Special Servicer shall service only the Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loans in a manner consistent with the provisions with this
Agreement except as provided otherwise in the special subservicing
agreement;
(3) the Special Servicer shall use the Xxxxxx Xxx foreclosure
network (and pay the customary fees therefor) for foreclosures and
bankruptcies relating to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans;
(4) the Special Servicer shall use the Xxxxxx Mae disposition
service (and pay the customary fees therefor) for the disposition of
REO Property related to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans;
(5) the Special Servicer shall make Servicing Advances on the
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans to the same extent and in the same
manner as the Master Servicer with respect to the Group I Mortgage
Loans pursuant to this Agreement;
107
(6) the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive the
Servicing Fee with respect to all Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans;
(7) prior to the transfer of servicing to the Special Servicer,
the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have provided all
notices relating to such transfer of servicing as required to be
delivered to the borrowers by applicable state and federal law;
(8) the Special Servicer shall indemnify the Master Servicer, the
Trust Administrator and the Trustee for any liabilities to them arising
from failures of the Special Servicer to perform its obligations
according to the terms of the subservicing agreement;
(9) the Master Servicer shall promptly give notice thereof to the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the NIMS Insurer and the Guarantor of
the transfer of servicing to the Special Servicer, including the loan
number together with the borrower's name and the unpaid principal
balance of the transferred Mortgage Loan at the time of transfer;
(10) each of the respective obligations, duties, and liabilities
of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer (or either of them)
with respect to the servicing of the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans
that have arisen prior to the date on which the servicing of such
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan was transferred to the Special
Servicer (the "Effective Date"), or that arise on and after the
Effective Date, under this Agreement and the subservicing agreement and
that remain unperformed or unsatisfied shall survive any transfer of
servicing;
(11) once a Group I Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan, such Mortgage Loan shall remain a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan, and shall continue to be serviced by the Special
Servicer, until the earlier of the liquidation or other disposition of
such Mortgage Loan or the termination of the subservicing agreement,
regardless of delinquency status or otherwise;
(12) the Guarantor may remove the Special Servicer if the Special
Servicer at any time fails to meet any of the above criteria or
otherwise, in the judgment of the Guarantor, fails to perform according
to the terms of the subservicing agreement and the provisions of this
Section 3.13; provided that prior to any such removal the Guarantor
shall designate a successor Special Servicer meeting the requirements
of this Section 3.13, and no removal of a Special Servicer shall be
effective until a successor Special Servicer has entered into a special
subservicing agreement meeting the requirements of this Section 3.13
and agreed to assume the duties of the Special Servicer or the Master
Servicer has undertaken such duties; and
(13) in connection with any transfer of a Group I Mortgage Loan to
the Special Servicer as a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master
Servicer shall execute any appropriate assignments or other documents
reasonable and necessary to further the prosecution of the Special
Servicer obligations under the special subservicing agreement.
108
Section 3.14 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance and Errors and Omissions and
Fidelity Coverage.
(a) The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each
Mortgage Loan fire insurance with extended coverage on the related Mortgaged
Property in an amount which is at least equal to the least of (i) the then
current principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, (ii) the amount necessary to
fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of
such property on a replacement cost basis and (iii) the maximum insurable value
of the improvements which are a part of such Mortgaged Property, in each case in
an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to avoid the application of
any coinsurance clause contained in the related hazard insurance policy. The
Master Servicer shall also cause to be maintained fire insurance with extended
coverage on each REO Property in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser
of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such
property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan
at the time it became an REO Property, plus accrued interest at the Mortgage
Rate and related Servicing Advances. The Master Servicer will comply in the
performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each
insurer under any such hazard policies. Any amounts to be collected by the
Master Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the
restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or amounts
to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the procedures that the
Master Servicer would follow in servicing loans held for its own account,
subject to the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note)
shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to
Section 3.11, if received in respect of a Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account,
subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.23, if received in respect of an REO
Property. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such
insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to
Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related
Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit.
It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is
to be required of any Mortgagor other than pursuant to such applicable laws and
regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such
additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property or REO Property is at any time
in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency as having special flood hazards and flood insurance has been
made available, the Master Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood
insurance policy in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount
equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage
Loan and (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the related
Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program (assuming that the
area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is participating in such
program).
In the event that the Master Servicer shall obtain and maintain a
blanket policy with an insurer having a General Policy Rating of A:X or better
in Best's Key Rating Guide (or such other rating that is comparable to such
rating) insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall
conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the
first two sentences of this Section 3.14, it being understood and agreed that
such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer
shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related
Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with the first two
sentences of this Section 3.14, and there shall have been one or more losses
which would have been covered by such policy, deposit to the Collection Account
109
from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy
because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as
administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to
prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator
and Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion
in accordance with the terms of such policy.
(b) The Master Servicer shall keep in force during the term of
this Agreement a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions
for failure in the performance of the Master Servicer's obligations under this
Agreement, which policy or policies shall be in such form and amount that would
meet the requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx if it were the purchaser of the Mortgage
Loans, unless the Master Servicer or any of its Affiliates has obtained a waiver
of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae. The Master Servicer shall also maintain a
fidelity bond in the form and amount that would meet the requirements of Xxxxxx
Xxx, unless the Master Servicer or any of its Affiliates has obtained a waiver
of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae. The Master Servicer shall provide the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the NIMS Insurer and the Guarantor (upon such
party's reasonable request) with copies of any such insurance policies and
fidelity bond. The Master Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with this
provision if an Affiliate of the Master Servicer has such errors and omissions
and fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such insurance policy or
fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Master Servicer.
Any such errors and omissions policy and fidelity bond shall by its terms not be
cancelable without thirty days' prior written notice to the Trustee and the
Trust Administrator. The Master Servicer shall also cause each Sub-Servicer to
maintain a comparable policy of insurance covering errors and omissions and a
fidelity bond meeting such requirements.
Section 3.15 Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
The Master Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of any
conveyance or prospective conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any Mortgagor
(whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the
Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the
Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan
under the "due-on-sale" clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided, however,
that the Master Servicer shall not be required to take such action if in its
sole business judgment the Master Servicer believes that the collections and
other recoveries in respect of such Mortgage Loans could reasonably be expected
to be maximized if the Mortgage Loan were not accelerated, and the Master
Servicer shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from doing so.
If the Master Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to
enforce such "due-on-sale" clause, or if any of the other conditions set forth
in the proviso to the preceding sentence apply, the Master Servicer will enter
into an assumption and modification agreement from or with the person to whom
such property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which
such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted
by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Master
Servicer may also enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such
person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and
such person is substituted as the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the
Mortgage Note, provided that no such substitution shall be effective unless such
person satisfies the underwriting criteria of the Master Servicer and has a
credit risk rating at least equal to that of the original Mortgagor. In
connection with any assumption, modification or substitution, the Master
Servicer shall apply such underwriting standards and follow such practices and
procedures as shall be normal and
110
usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and as it applies to other
mortgage loans owned solely by it. The Master Servicer shall not take or enter
into any assumption and modification agreement, however, unless (to the extent
practicable under the circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in
writing, of the continued effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance
policy, or a new policy meeting the requirements of this Section is obtained.
Any fee collected by the Master Servicer in respect of any assumption,
modification or substitution of liability agreement will be retained by the
Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In connection with any
such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note (including but not
limited to the related Mortgage Rate and the amount of the Monthly Payment) may
be amended or modified, except as otherwise required pursuant to the terms
thereof. The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee, the Trust Administrator,
the NIMS Insurer and the Guarantor that any such substitution, modification or
assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trust Administrator
(with a copy to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer) the executed original of such
substitution, modification or assumption agreement, which document shall be
added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a
part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and
instruments constituting a part thereof. If the aggregate Component Principal
Balance of the I-M3 Component has been reduced to zero and Class C Certificates
are no longer outstanding, the Master Servicer shall not take or enter into any
substitution, assumption or modification agreement without obtaining the prior
written consent of the Guarantor to such substitution, assumption or
modification agreement. The Master Servicer shall submit to the Guarantor with
its request for consent, such information related to the proposed substitution,
assumption or modification agreement as can be expected to be needed by the
Guarantor to evaluate the Master Servicer's request, including the terms of the
proposed substitution, assumption or modification and the reasons for the Master
Servicer's decision that such substitution, assumption or modification agreement
should be taken or entered into with respect to such Group I Mortgage Loan. The
Guarantor shall be deemed to have consented to the Master Servicer's request in
the event that the Guarantor does not either provide the Master Servicer with
its written consent to such requested substitution, assumption or modification
agreement or written notice of its objection to such substitution, assumption or
modification agreement within five Business Days of its receipt of the Master
Servicer's request. Such requests shall be sent to the Guarantor at: Xxxxxx Xxx,
0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, X.X., Xxxxxxxxxx, X.X. 00000, Attn: Vice President-Loss
Mitigation. With respect to each substitution, assumption or modification
agreement which is entered into with the consent of the Guarantor, the Master
Servicer shall give written notice to the NIMS Insurer to the address set forth
in Section 11.05 and to the Guarantor to the following address: Xxxxxx Xxx, 0000
Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, X.X., Xxxxxxxxxx, X.X. 00000, Attn: Bond Administration. Such
notice shall be delivered within thirty Business Days following the date of such
substitution, assumption or modification agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this
Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or
any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of
a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any
assumption which the Master Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing,
for any reason whatever. For purposes of this Section 3.15, the term
"assumption" is deemed to also include a sale of the Mortgaged Property subject
to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of
liability agreement.
111
Section 3.16 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts consistent
with the servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01, to foreclose upon or
otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the
Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no
satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments
pursuant to Section 3.07. The Master Servicer shall be responsible for all costs
and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that
such costs and expenses will constitute and be recoverable as Servicing Advances
by the Master Servicer as contemplated in Section 3.11 and Section 3.23. The
foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which Mortgaged
Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Master Servicer
shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such
property unless it shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion that such
restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage
Loan after reimbursement to itself for such expenses.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.16
or any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as
to which the Master Servicer has received actual notice of, or has actual
knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on the related
Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trustee,
either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of
foreclosure or otherwise or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, or take any
other action with respect to, such Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any
such action, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Trust Fund or the
Certificateholders would be considered to hold title to, to be a
"mortgagee-in-possession" of, or to be an "owner" or "operator" of such
Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time,
or any comparable law, unless the Master Servicer has also previously
determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a report prepared by an
Independent Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary
industry standards, that:
(1) such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable
environmental laws or, if not, that it would be in the best
economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are
necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance
therewith; and
(2) there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property
relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous
substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or
petroleum-based materials for which investigation, testing,
monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required
under any federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if
any such materials are present for which such action could be
required, that it would be in the best economic interest of the
Trust Fund to take such actions with respect to the affected
Mortgaged Property.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Group I Mortgage
Loans, if such environmental audit reveals, or if the Master Servicer has
knowledge or notice, that the Mortgaged Property securing such Group I Mortgage
Loan contains such wastes or substances or
112
is within one mile of the site of such wastes or substances, the Master Servicer
shall not foreclose or accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure without the prior
written consent of the Guarantor.
The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section
3.16 shall be advanced by the Master Servicer, subject to the Master Servicer's
right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in
Section 3.11(a)(ix), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of
Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received in
respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans. It is understood
by the parties hereto that any such advance will constitute a Servicing Advance.
If the Master Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in
the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are
necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable
environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment,
clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous
wastes or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then
the Master Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best
economic interest of the Trust Fund. The cost of any such compliance,
containment, cleanup or remediation shall be advanced by the Master Servicer,
subject to the Master Servicer's right to be reimbursed therefor from the
Collection Account as provided in Section 3.11(a)(ix), such right of
reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to receive any
amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected Mortgage
Loan or other Mortgage Loans. It is understood by the parties hereto that any
such advance will constitute a Servicing Advance.
(c) The Master Servicer may at its option purchase from REMIC 1A
or REMIC 1B, as applicable, any Mortgage Loan or related REO Property that is 90
days or more delinquent or that has been otherwise in default for 90 days or
more, which the Master Servicer determines in good faith will otherwise become
subject to foreclosure proceedings (evidence of such determination to be
delivered in writing to the Trust Administrator and the Trustee prior to
purchase), at a price equal to the Purchase Price; provided, however, that the
Master Servicer shall purchase any such Mortgage Loans or related REO Properties
on the basis of delinquency or default, purchasing first the Mortgage Loans or
related REO Properties that became delinquent or otherwise in default on an
earlier date; and provided, further, that such option shall expire as of the
last day of the calendar quarter during which such Mortgage Loan or related REO
Property became 90 days delinquent or otherwise in default for 90 days or more.
In the event the Master Servicer does not exercise its option to purchase from
REMIC 1A or REMIC 1B any such Mortgage Loan or related REO Property prior to the
expiration of such option, the NIMS Insurer shall be entitled to purchase such
Mortgage Loan or related REO Property at any time thereafter. In the event
neither the Master Servicer nor the NIMS Insurer exercises its option to
purchase from REMIC 1A any such Group I Mortgage Loan or related REO Property
prior to the expiration of such option, the Guarantor shall be entitled to
purchase such Group I Mortgage Loan or related REO Property at any time
thereafter. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan or related REO Property
purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the Collection Account, and the Trust
Administrator, upon receipt of written certification from the Master Servicer of
such deposit, shall release or cause to be released to the Master Servicer, the
NIMS Insurer or the Guarantor, as applicable, the related Mortgage File and the
Trustee, or the Trust Administrator on behalf of the Trustee, shall execute and
deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, as the Master
113
Servicer, the NIMS Insurer or the Guarantor, as applicable, shall furnish and as
shall be necessary to vest in the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer or the
Guarantor, as applicable, title to any Mortgage Loan or related REO Property
released pursuant hereto.
(d) Proceeds received (other than any Prepayment Charges received)
in connection with any Final Recovery Determination, as well as any recovery
resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation
Proceeds, in respect of any Mortgage Loan, will be applied in the following
order of priority: first, to reimburse the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer
for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances, pursuant to
Section 3.11(a)(ii) or (a)(iii); second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the
Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final Recovery Determination, or to the Due
Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such amounts are to be distributed
if not in connection with a Final Recovery Determination; and third, as a
recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the recovery so
allocated to interest is less than the full amount of accrued and unpaid
interest due on such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery will be
allocated by the Master Servicer as follows: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees;
and second, to the balance of the interest then due and owing. The portion of
the recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the
Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iii).
Section 3.17 Trustee and Trust Administrator to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage
Files.
(a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt
by the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed
in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer will promptly
notify the Trustee and Trust Administrator by a certification in the form of
Exhibit E-2 (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that
all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are
required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.10 have
been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Representative and shall request
delivery to it of the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification
and request, the Trust Administrator shall promptly release the related Mortgage
File to the Master Servicer. No expenses incurred in connection with any
instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the
Collection Account or the Distribution Account.
(b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under
any insurance policy relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Trust Administrator
shall, upon request of the Master Servicer and delivery to the Trust
Administrator of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit E-l, release the
related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer, and the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall, at the direction of the Master
Servicer, execute such documents as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any
such proceedings and the Master Servicer shall retain such Mortgage File in
trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Such Request for Release shall
obligate the Master Servicer to return each and every document previously
requested from the Mortgage File to the Trust Administrator when the need
therefor by the Master Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has
been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have
been deposited in the Collection Account or the Mortgage File or such document
has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public
official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action
or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either
judicially or non-judicially, and the Master Servicer has delivered to the Trust
Administrator a certificate of a
114
Servicing Representative certifying as to the name and address of the Person to
which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or
purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing
Representative stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all
amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation that are
required to be deposited into the Collection Account have been so deposited, or
that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, a copy of the Request for
Release shall be released by the Trust Administrator to the Master Servicer or
its designee.
(c) Upon written certification of a Servicing Representative, the
Trust Administrator shall execute and deliver to the Master Servicer any court
pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or other documents reasonably necessary
to the foreclosure or trustee's sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to
any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any
other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise
available at law or in equity, or shall exercise and deliver to the Master
Servicer a power of attorney sufficient to authorize the Master Servicer to
execute such documents on its behalf, provided that the Trust Administrator
shall be obligated to execute the documents identified above if necessary to
enable the Master Servicer to perform its duties hereunder. Each such
certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be
executed by the Trust Administrator and a statement as to the reason such
documents or pleadings are required.
Section 3.18 Servicing Compensation.
As compensation for the activities of the Master Servicer hereunder,
the Master Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee with respect to each
Mortgage Loan payable solely from payments of interest in respect of such
Mortgage Loan, subject to Section 3.24. In addition, the Master Servicer shall
be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees out of Late Collections, Insurance
Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds to the extent permitted by Section 3.11(a)(iii)
and out of amounts derived from the operation and sale of an REO Property to the
extent permitted by Section 3.23. The right to receive the Servicing Fee may not
be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all
of the Master Servicer's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement;
provided, however, that the Master Servicer may pay from the Servicing Fee any
amounts due to a Sub-Servicer pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into
under Section 3.02.
Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption or
modification fees, late payment charges, NSF fees, reconveyance fees and other
similar fees and charges (other than Prepayment Charges) shall be retained by
the Master Servicer (subject to Section 3.24) only to the extent such fees or
charges are received by the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall also be
entitled pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iv) to withdraw from the Collection
Account, and pursuant to Section 3.23(b) to withdraw from any REO Account, as
additional servicing compensation, interest or other income earned on deposits
therein, subject to Section 3.12. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay
all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities
hereunder (including premiums for the insurance required by Section 3.14, to the
extent such premiums are not paid by the related Mortgagors or by a
Sub-Servicer, it being understood however, that payment of such premiums by the
Master Servicer shall constitute Servicing Advances and servicing compensation
of each Sub-Servicer, and to the extent provided herein and in Section 8.05, the
fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Trust
115
Administrator) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as
specifically provided herein.
Section 3.19 Reports to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator; Collection
Account Statements.
Not later than fifteen days after each Distribution Date, the Master
Servicer shall forward to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the NIMS Insurer
and the Depositor (and, upon request, the Guarantor) a statement prepared by the

close of business on such Distribution Date and showing, for the period covered
by such statement, the aggregate amount of deposits into and withdrawals from
the Collection Account of each category of deposit specified in Section 3.10(a)
and each category of withdrawal specified in Section 3.11. Such statement may be

Guaranteed Mortgage Pass-Through Program with appropriate additions and changes,
and shall also include information as to the aggregate of the outstanding
principal balances of all of the Mortgage Loans as of the last day of the
calendar month immediately preceding such Distribution Date. Copies of such
statement shall be provided by the Trust Administrator to any Certificateholder
and to any Person identified to the Trust Administrator as a prospective
transferee of a Certificate, upon request at the expense of the requesting
party, provided such statement is delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trust
Administrator.
Section 3.20 Statement as to Compliance.
The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Administrator, the
Trustee, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor and each Rating Agency
on or before April 15 of each calendar year commencing in 2003, an Officers'
Certificate stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the
activities of the Master Servicer during the preceding year and of performance
under this Agreement has been made under such officers' supervision and (ii) to
the best of such officers' knowledge, based on such review, the Master Servicer
has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year,
or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation,
specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status
thereof. Copies of any such statement shall be provided by the Trust
Administrator to any Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Trust
Administrator as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon the request and
at the expense of the requesting party, provided that such statement is
delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trust Administrator.
Section 3.21 Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Report.
Not later than April 15 of each calendar year commencing in 2003, the
Master Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a nationally recognized firm of
independent certified public accountants to furnish to the Master Servicer a
report stating that (i) it has obtained a letter of representation regarding
certain matters from the management of the Master Servicer which includes an
assertion that the Master Servicer has complied with certain minimum residential
mortgage loan servicing standards, identified in the Uniform Single Attestation
Program for Mortgage Bankers established by the Mortgage Bankers Association of
America, with respect to the servicing of residential mortgage loans during the
most recently completed fiscal year and (ii) on the basis of an examination
conducted by such firm in accordance with standards
116
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, such
representation is fairly stated in all material respects, subject to such
exceptions and other qualifications that may be appropriate. In rendering its
report such firm may rely, as to matters relating to the direct servicing of
residential mortgage loans by Sub-Servicers, upon comparable reports of firms of
independent certified public accountants rendered on the basis of examinations
conducted in accordance with the same standards (rendered within one year of
such report) with respect to those Sub-Servicers. Immediately upon receipt of
such report, the Master Servicer shall furnish a copy of such report to the
Trust Administrator, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor and each
Rating Agency. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trust
Administrator to any Certificateholder upon request at the Master Servicer's
expense, provided that such statement is delivered by the Master Servicer to the
Trust Administrator. In the event such firm of independent certified public
accountants requires the Trust Administrator to agree to the procedures
performed by such firm, the Master Servicer shall direct the Trust Administrator
in writing to so agree; it being understood and agreed that the Trust
Administrator will deliver such letter of agreement in conclusive reliance upon
the direction of the Master Servicer, and the Trust Administrator has not made
any independent inquiry or investigation as to, and shall have no obligation or
liability in respect of, the sufficiency, validity or correctness of such
procedures.
Section 3.22 Access to Certain Documentation.
(a) The Master Servicer shall provide to the Office of Thrift
Supervision, the FDIC and any other federal or state banking or insurance
regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any Certificateholder
access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans serviced by the Master
Servicer under this Agreement, as may be required by applicable laws and
regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon
reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Master
Servicer designated by it. In addition, access to the documentation regarding
the Mortgage Loans serviced by the Master Servicer under this Agreement will be
provided to any Certificateholder, the Guarantor (with respect to Group I
Mortgage Loans only), the NIMS Insurer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and
to any Person identified to the Master Servicer as a prospective transferee of a
Certificate, upon reasonable request during normal business hours at the offices
of the Master Servicer designated by it at the expense of the Person requesting
such access.
(b) For a period of two years from the Closing Date, the Guarantor
may contact the Seller to confirm that the Seller continues to actively engage
in a program to originate mortgage loans to low-income families and to obtain
other non-proprietary information about the Seller's activities that may assist
the Guarantor in completing its own regulatory requirements during normal
business hours and subject to reimbursement for expenses. The Seller shall use
reasonable efforts to provide such information to the Guarantor.
Section 3.23 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.
(a) The deed or certificate of sale of any REO Property shall be
taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee, in trust for the benefit of
the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer, on behalf of REMIC 1A or REMIC 1B,
as applicable (and on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders), shall sell any REO Property as soon as practicable and, in
any event, shall either sell any REO Property before the close of the third
taxable year after the year REMIC 1A or REMIC 1B, as applicable, acquires
ownership of such REO Property for
117
purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or request from the Internal Revenue
Service, no later than 60 days before the day on which the three-year grace
period would otherwise expire, an extension of the three-year grace period,
unless the Master Servicer shall have delivered to the Trust Administrator,
Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor and the Depositor an Opinion of
Counsel, addressed to the Trust Administrator, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer,
the Guarantor and the Depositor, to the effect that the holding by REMIC 1A or
REMIC 1B of such REO Property subsequent to three years after its acquisition
will not result in the imposition on any Trust REMIC of taxes on "prohibited
transactions" thereof, as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause any
Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under Federal law at any time that any
Certificates are outstanding. If an extension of the three-year period is
granted, the Master Servicer shall sell the related REO Property no later than
60 days prior to the expiration of such extension period. The Master Servicer
shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the
Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in
a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as
"foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or
result in the receipt by any Trust REMIC of any "income from non-permitted
assets" within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code, or any "net
income from foreclosure property" which is subject to taxation under the REMIC
Provisions.
(b) The Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds
collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property
separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and
maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, with respect to REO
Properties an account held in trust for the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders (the "REO Account"), which shall be an Eligible Account. The
Master Servicer may allow the Collection Account to serve as the REO Account,
subject to separate ledgers for each REO Property. The Master Servicer may
retain or withdraw any interest income paid on funds deposited in the REO
Account.
(c) The Master Servicer shall have full power and authority,
subject only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to
do any and all things in connection with any REO Property as are consistent with
the manner in which the Master Servicer manages and operates similar property
owned by the Master Servicer or any of its Affiliates, all on such terms and for
such period as the Master Servicer deems to be in the best interests of
Certificateholders. In connection therewith, the Master Servicer shall deposit,
or cause to be deposited in the clearing account (which account must be an
Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on
mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a
daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Master
Servicer's receipt thereof and shall thereafter deposit in the REO Account, in
no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the
clearing account, all revenues received by it with respect to an REO Property
and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation,
management and maintenance of such REO Property including, without limitation:
(i) all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such
REO Property;
(ii) all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of such REO
Property that may result in the imposition of a lien
thereon; and
118
(iii) all costs and expenses necessary to maintain such REO
Property.
To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account with respect
to an REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i)
through (iii) above with respect to such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall
advance from its own funds as Servicing Advances such amount as is necessary for
such purposes if, but only if, the Master Servicer would make such advances if
the Master Servicer owned the REO Property and if such Servicing Advance would
not constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator or the Trustee shall:
(i) authorize the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend any
New Lease with respect to any REO Property, if the New Lease
by its terms will give rise to any income that does not
constitute Rents from Real Property;
(ii) authorize any amount to be received or accrued under any New
Lease other than amounts that will constitute Rents from
Real Property;
(iii) authorize any construction on any REO Property, other than
construction permitted under Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the
Code; or
(iv) authorize any Person to Directly Operate any REO
Property on any date more than 90 days after its date
of acquisition by the Trust Fund;
unless, in any such case, the Master Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel
(the cost of which shall constitute a Servicing Advance), a copy of which shall
be provided to the NIMS Insurer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee, to the
effect that such action will not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as
"foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at
any time that it is held by REMIC 1A or REMIC 1B, in which case the Master
Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.
The Master Servicer may contract with any Independent Contractor for
the operation and management of any REO Property, provided that:
(i) the terms and conditions of any such contract shall not be
inconsistent herewith;
(ii) any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to
require, that the Independent Contractor pay all costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the operation and
management of such REO Property, including those listed
above, and remit all related revenues (net of such costs and
expenses) to the Master Servicer as soon as practicable, but
in no event later than thirty days following the receipt
thereof by such Independent Contractor;
(iii) none of the provisions of this Section 3.23(c) relating to
any such contract or to actions taken through any such
Independent Contractor shall be
119
deemed to relieve the Master Servicer of any of its duties
and obligations to the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders with respect to the operation and
management of any such REO Property; and
(iv) the Master Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto
to the same extent as if it alone were performing all duties
and obligations in connection with the operation and
management of such REO Property.
The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with
any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and
obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Master Servicer by such
Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit
or modify such indemnification. The Master Servicer shall be solely liable for
all fees owed by it to any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of whether
the Master Servicer's compensation pursuant to Section 3.18 is sufficient to pay
such fees; provided, however, that to the extent that any payments made by such
Independent Contractor would constitute Servicing Advances if made by the Master
Servicer, such amounts shall be reimbursable as Servicing Advances made by the
Master Servicer.
(d) In addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section
3.23(c), the Master Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the REO
Account for any REO Property: (i) to pay itself or any Sub-Servicer unpaid
Servicing Fees in respect of the related Mortgage Loan; and (ii) to reimburse
itself or any Sub-Servicer for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances made
in respect of such REO Property or the related Mortgage Loan. On the Master
Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from each REO
Account maintained by it and deposit into the Distribution Account in accordance
with Section 3.10(d)(ii), for distribution on the related Distribution Date in
accordance with Section 4.01, the income from the related REO Property received
during the prior calendar month, net of any withdrawals made pursuant to Section
3.23(c) or this Section 3.23(d).
(e) Subject to the time constraints set forth in Section 3.23(a),
each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Master Servicer at such price
and upon such terms and conditions as the Master Servicer shall deem necessary
or advisable, as shall be normal and usual in its general servicing activities
for similar properties.
(f) The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any amount
required by law to be remitted to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan
and net of any payment or reimbursement to the Master Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer as provided above, shall be deposited in the Distribution Account
in accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date in
the month following the receipt thereof for distribution on the related
Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01. Any REO Disposition shall be
for cash only (unless changes in the REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the
Startup Day allow a sale for other consideration).
(g) The Master Servicer shall file information returns with
respect to the receipt of mortgage interest received in a trade or business,
reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and
cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property as
required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code,
120
respectively. Such reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the
reporting requirements imposed by such Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the
Code.
Section 3.24 Obligations of the Master Servicer in Respect of Prepayment
Interest Shortfalls.
The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Administrator for
deposit into the Distribution Account on or before 3:00 p.m. New York time on
the Master Servicer Remittance Date from its own funds an amount ("Compensating
Interest") equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate of the Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls for the related Distribution Date resulting solely from Principal
Prepayments during the related Prepayment Period and (ii) the amount of its
aggregate Servicing Fee for the most recently ended calendar month.
Section 3.25 Obligations of the Master Servicer in Respect of Mortgage Rates and
Monthly Payments.
In the event that a shortfall in any collection on or liability with
respect to any Mortgage Loan results from or is attributable to adjustments to
Mortgage Rates, Monthly Payments or Stated Principal Balances that were made by
the Master Servicer in a manner not consistent with the terms of the related
Mortgage Note and this Agreement, the Master Servicer, upon discovery or receipt
of notice thereof, immediately shall deliver to the Trust Administrator for
deposit in the Distribution Account from its own funds the amount of any such
shortfall and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund, the Trust
Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Guarantor and any successor
master servicer in respect of any such liability; provided, that in the case of
the Guarantor such indemnity shall only apply with respect to Group I Mortgage
Loans. Such indemnities shall survive the termination or discharge of this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 3.25 shall not limit the
ability of the Master Servicer to seek recovery of any such amounts from the
related Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Note, as permitted by
law and shall not be an expense of the Trust.
Section 3.26 Reserve Funds.
No later than the Closing Date, the Trust Administrator, on behalf of
the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain
with itself two separate, segregated trust accounts titled, "Group I Reserve
Fund, Bankers Trust Company of California, N.A., as Trust Administrator for the
benefit of First Union National Bank, as Trustee, in trust for registered
Holders of Long Beach Mortgage Loan Trust 2002-1, Asset-Backed Certificates,
Series 2002-1" and "Group II Reserve Fund, Bankers Trust Company of California,
N.A., as Trust Administrator for the benefit of First Union National Bank, as
Trustee, in trust for registered Holders of Long Beach Mortgage Loan Trust
2002-1, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2002-1," respectively. On the Closing
Date, the Depositor shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, into each of the
Reserve Funds $1,000.
On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC Rate Carryover
Amount payable to the Class I-A Certificates or Group I Mezzanine Components,
the Trust Administrator has been directed by the Class I-C Certificateholders
to, and therefore shall, deposit into the Group I Reserve Fund the amounts
described in Section 4.01(d)(i)(h), rather than distributing such amounts to the
Class C Certificateholders. On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Net
WAC Rate Carryover Amount payable to the Class II-A Certificates, the Class
II-M1
121
Certificates, Group II Mezzanine Components or the Class II-M4 Certificates, the
Trust Administrator has been directed by the Class II-C Certificateholders to,
and therefore shall, deposit into the Group II Reserve Fund the amounts
described in Section 4.01(d)(ii)(l), rather than distributing such amounts to
the Class II-C Certificateholders. On each such Distribution Date, the Trust
Administrator shall hold all such amounts for the benefit of the Holders of the
Class A Certificates, and the Mezzanine Certificates, and shall distribute such
amounts in respect of the Class A Certificates, the Class II-M1 Certificates,
the Mezzanine Components and the Class II-M4 Certificates in the amounts and
priorities set forth in Section 4.01(d). If no Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts
are payable on a Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall deposit into
each Reserve Fund on behalf of the related Class C Certificateholders, from
amounts otherwise distributable to such Class C Certificateholders, an amount
such that when added to other amounts already on deposit in such Reserve Fund,
the aggregate amount on deposit therein is equal to $1,000.
For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class I-C
Certificateholders shall be deemed to be the owners of the Group I Reserve Fund
and all amounts deposited into such Reserve Fund (other than the initial deposit
therein of $1,000) shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC 3 to REMIC X
in respect of the REMIC 3 Regular Interest LT3-IC, and then distributed by REMIC
X to the Holders of the Class I-C Certificates. For federal and state income tax
purposes, the Class II-C Certificateholders shall be deemed to be the owners of
the Group II Reserve Fund and all amounts deposited into such Reserve Fund
(other than the initial deposit therein of $1,000) shall be treated as amounts
distributed by REMIC 3 to REMIC X in respect of REMIC 3 Regular Interest LT3-IIC
and then distributed by REMIC X to the Holders of the Class II-C Certificates.
Upon the termination of the Trust, or the payment in full of the Class I-A
Certificates and the reduction of the Component Principal Balances of the Group
I Mezzanine Components to zero or of the payment in full of the Class II-A
Certificates, the Class II-M1 Certificates and the Class II-M4 Certificates and
the reduction of the Component Principal Balances of the Group II Mezzanine
Components to zero, all amounts remaining on deposit in the related Reserve Fund
shall be released by the Trust Administrator and distributed to the applicable
Class C Certificateholders or their designees. The Reserve Funds will be part of
the Trust but not part of any REMIC and any payments in respect of the Class A
Certificates, the Class II-M1 Certificates, the Mezzanine Components or the
Class II-M4 Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts will not be payments
with respect to a "regular interest" in a REMIC within the meaning of Code
Section 860(G)(a)(1).
By accepting a Class C Certificate, each Class C Certificateholder
shall be deemed to have directed the Trust Administrator, and the Trust
Administrator shall pursuant to such direction, deposit into the related Reserve
Fund the amounts described above on each Distribution Date as to which there is
any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount rather than distributing such amounts to the
applicable Class C Certificateholders. By accepting a Class C Certificate, each
Class C Certificateholder further agrees that such direction is given for good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged
by such acceptance.
At the direction of the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in
the Class C Certificates, the Trust Administrator shall direct any depository
institution maintaining the Group I Reserve Fund or Group II Reserve Fund, as
applicable, to invest the funds in such account in one or more Permitted
Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless
122
payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the
date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant
to this Agreement, if a Person other than the Trust Administrator or an
Affiliate manages or advises such investment, and (ii) no later than the date on
which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this
Agreement, if the Trust Administrator or an Affiliate manages or advises such
investment. If no investment direction of the Holders of a majority in
Percentage Interest in the Class C Certificates with respect to the Reserve Fund
is received by the Trust Administrator, the Trust Administrator shall invest the
funds in such account in Permitted Investments managed by the Trust
Administrator or an Affiliate of the kind described in clause (vi) of the
definition of Permitted Investments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any funds in
the Reserve Funds shall be invested in Bankers Trust's Institutional Cash
Management Fund 1679 for so long as such investment complies with clause (vi) of
the definition of Permitted Investments. All income and gain earned upon such
investment shall be deposited into the related Reserve Fund.
For federal tax return and information reporting, the right of the
Certificateholders to receive payment on account of the Class A Certificates,
the Class II-M1 Certificates, the Mezzanine Components and the Class II-M4
Certificates from the related Reserve Fund in respect of any Net WAC Rate
Carryover Amount shall be assigned a value of zero.
Section 3.27 Advance Facility.
(a) The Trust Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee and the
Trust Fund, at the direction of the Master Servicer and with the consent of the
NIMS Insurer, after consultation with the Guarantor (or, if no Insured NIM Notes
are outstanding, the Guarantor), is hereby authorized to enter into a facility
with any Person which provides that such Person (an "Advancing Person") may make
all or a portion of the Advances and/or Servicing Advances to the Trust Fund
under this Agreement, although no such facility shall reduce or otherwise affect
the Master Servicer's obligation to fund such Advances and/or Servicing
Advances. To the extent that an Advancing Person makes all or a portion of any
Advance or any Servicing Advance and provides the Trust Administrator with
notice acknowledged by the Master Servicer that such Advancing Person is
entitled to reimbursement, such Advancing Person shall be entitled to receive
reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement for such amount to the extent provided
in Section 3.27(b). Such notice from the Advancing Person shall specify the
amount of the reimbursement and shall specify which Section of this Agreement
permits the applicable Advance or Servicing Advance to be reimbursed. The Trust
Administrator shall be entitled to rely without independent investigation on the
Advancing Person's statement with respect to the amount of any reimbursement
pursuant to this Section 3.27 and with respect to the Advancing Person's
statement with respect to the Section of this Agreement that permits the
applicable Advance or Servicing Advance to be reimbursed. An Advancing Person
whose obligations are limited to the making of Advances and/or Servicing
Advances shall not be required to meet the qualifications of a Master Servicer
or a Sub-Servicer pursuant to Article VI hereof and will not be deemed to be a
Sub-Servicer under this Agreement. If the terms of a facility proposed to be
entered into with an Advancing Person by the Trust Fund would not materially and
adversely affect the interests of any Certificateholder, then the NIMS Insurer
shall not withhold its consent, after consultation with the Guarantor, to the
Trust Fund's entering into such facility.
(b) If an advancing facility is entered into, then the Master
Servicer shall not be permitted to reimburse itself under any Section specified
or for any amount specified by the
123
Advancing Person in the notice described under Section 3.27(a) above and
acknowledged by the Master Servicer prior to the remittance to the Trust Fund,
but instead the Master Servicer shall include such amounts in the applicable
remittance to the Trustee made pursuant to Section 3.10(a). The Trust
Administrator is hereby authorized to pay to the Advancing Person reimbursements
for Advances and Servicing Advances from the Distribution Account to the same
extent the Master Servicer would have been permitted to reimburse itself for
such Advances and/or Servicing Advances in accordance with the specified
Sections had the Master Servicer itself made such Advance or Servicing Advance.
The Trust Administrator is hereby authorized to pay directly to the Advancing
Person such portion of the Servicing Fee as the parties to any advancing
facility may agree.
(c) All Advances and Servicing Advances made pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement shall be deemed made and shall be reimbursed on a "first
in-first out" (FIFO) basis.
Section 3.28 Policy; Claims Under the PMI Policy
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Article III,
the Master Servicer shall not agree to any modification or assumption of a PMI
Mortgage Loan or take any other action with respect to a PMI Mortgage Loan that
could result in denial of coverage under the PMI Policy. The Master Servicer
shall notify the PMI Insurer that the Trustee, as trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders, is the insured, as that term is defined in the PMI Policy,
of each PMI Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall, on behalf of the Trustee,
prepare and file on a timely basis with the PMI Insurer, with a copy to the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator, all claims which may be made under the PMI
Policy with respect to the PMI Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall take
all actions required under the PMI Policy as a condition to the payment of any
such claim. Any amount received from the PMI Insurer with respect to any such
PMI Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by the Master Servicer, no later than two
Business Days following receipt thereof, into the Collection Account.
Section 3.29 Group I Mortgage Loans Subject to Relief Act.
If any of the Group I Mortgage Loans becomes subject to the Relief Act,
the Master Servicer shall, with respect to such Group I Mortgage Loan, complete
Xxxxxx Xxx Special Information Worksheet (for Military Indulgence) substantially
in the form set forth on Exhibit G-1 hereto and shall require the related
Mortgagor to complete Xxxxxx Mae Form 180 Request For Military Indulgence
substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit G-2 hereto. The Master Servicer
shall retain the executed originals of such forms in its servicing files related
to such Group I Mortgage Loan and, upon the Guarantor's request, shall promptly
deliver such forms to the Guarantor at the address specified by the Guarantor,
or if no such address is specified, to Xxxxxx Xxx, Management Portfolio
Processing Unit, 00000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, Mail Stop:
5H-1W-06. Each Remittance Report delivered by the Master Servicer to the
Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.04 in connection with a Distribution Date shall
include a schedule of the Group I Mortgage Loans subject to the Relief Act on
such Distribution Date and shall set forth the amount of Relief Act Interest
Shortfalls for such Distribution Date in connection with each such Group I
Mortgage Loan.

appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which

surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such

Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates but shall continue
to hold any remaining funds for the benefit of non-tendering Certificateholders.
The costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust and of contacting such
Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining in such trust fund.
If within one year after the final notice any such Certificates shall not have
been surrendered for cancellation, the Trust Administrator shall pay to Deutsche

Administrator's internet website shall initially be located at
"http:\\xxx-xxxx.xxx.xxxxxxxx-xxxx.xxx/xxxx. Assistance in using the website can
be obtained by calling the Trust Administrator's customer service desk at
0-000-000-0000. Parties that are unable to use the above distribution options
are entitled to have a paper copy mailed to them via first class mail by calling
the customer service desk and indicating such. The Trust Administrator shall
have the right to change the way such statements are distributed in order to
make such distribution more convenient and/or more accessible to the above
parties and the
138
Trust Administrator shall provide timely and adequate notification to all above
parties regarding any such changes.
In the case of information furnished pursuant to subclauses (i) through
(iii) above, the amounts shall be expressed in a separate section of the report
as a dollar amount for each Class for each $1,000 original dollar amount as of
the Closing Date.
(b) Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each
calendar year, the Trust Administrator shall, upon written request, furnish to
each Person who at any time during the calendar year was a Certificateholder of
a Regular Certificate, if requested in writing by such Person, such information
as is reasonably necessary to provide to such Person a statement containing the
information set forth in subclauses (i) through (iii) above, aggregated for such
calendar year or applicable portion thereof during which such Person was a
Certificateholder. Such obligation of the Trust Administrator shall be deemed to
have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information
shall be prepared and furnished by the Trust Administrator to Certificateholders
pursuant to any requirements of the Code as are in force from time to time.
(c) On each Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall
forward to the Holders of the Residual Certificates and the NIMS Insurer a copy

necessary or appropriate.

following domain name: xxxx_xxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx. If a Guarantor Payment will be
payable on a Distribution Date, all information required under Section 4.03(a)
must also be similarly delivered to Guarantor on such third Business Day
proceeding such Distribution Date. The second consecutive failure by the Trust
Administrator to deliver the Class Factor (or to deliver an accurate Class
Factor) to the Guarantor shall constitute an event of default and permit the
Guarantor to remove the Trust Administrator for cause;
139
provided that the Master Servicer had delivered the Remittance Report for the
related Distribution Date to the Trust Administrator pursuant to Section 4.04.
Section 4.04 Remittance Reports; Advances.
(a) Within one Business Day after each Determination Date, but in
no event later than such date which would allow the Trust Administrator to
submit a claim to the NIMS Insurer under the Indenture, the Master Servicer
shall deliver to the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor, the Trust Administrator and
the Trustee by telecopy or electronic mail (or by such other means as the Master
Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor, the Trust Administrator and the
Trustee, as the case may be, may agree from time to time) a Remittance Report
with respect to the related Distribution Date. Not later than each Master
Servicer Remittance Date (or, in the case of certain information, as agreed
between the Trust Administrator and the Master Servicer, not later than four
Business Days after the end of each Due Period), the Master Servicer shall
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trust Administrator in addition to the
information provided on the Remittance Report, such other information reasonably
available to it with respect to the Mortgage Loans as the Trust Administrator
may reasonably require to perform the calculations necessary to make the
distributions contemplated by Section 4.01 and to prepare the statements to
Certificateholders contemplated by Section 4.03. The Trust Administrator shall
not be responsible to recompute, recalculate or verify any information provided
to it by the Master Servicer.
(b) The amount of Advances to be made by the Master Servicer for
any Distribution Date shall equal, subject to Section 4.04(d), the sum of (i)
the aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (with each interest portion thereof net
of the related Servicing Fee), due on the related Due Date in respect of the
Mortgage Loans, which Monthly Payments were delinquent as of the close of
business on the related Determination Date, plus (ii) with respect to each REO
Property, which REO Property was acquired during or prior to the related
Prepayment Period and as to which such REO Property an REO Disposition did not
occur during the related Prepayment Period, an amount equal to the excess, if
any, of the Monthly Payments (with each interest portion thereof net of the
related Servicing Fee) that would have been due on the related Due Date in
respect of the related Mortgage Loans, over the net income from such REO
Property transferred to the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.23 for
distribution on such Distribution Date.
On or before 3:00 p.m. New York time on the Master Servicer Remittance
Date, the Master Servicer shall remit in immediately available funds to the
Trust Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to
the aggregate amount of Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the Mortgage
Loans and REO Properties for the related Distribution Date either (i) from its
own funds or (ii) from the Collection Account, to the extent of funds held
therein for future distribution (in which case, it will cause to be made an
appropriate entry in the records of Collection Account that amounts held for
future distribution have been, as permitted by this Section 4.04, used by the
Master Servicer in discharge of any such Advance) or (iii) in the form of any
combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of Advances to be made
by the Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.
Any amounts held for future distribution and so used shall be appropriately
reflected in the Master Servicer's records and replaced by the Master Servicer
by deposit in the Collection Account on or before any future Master Servicer
Remittance Date to the extent that the Available Funds for the related
140
Distribution Date (determined without regard to Advances to be made on the
Master Servicer Remittance Date) shall be less than the total amount that would
be distributed to the Classes of Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.01 on
such Distribution Date if such amounts held for future distributions had not
been so used to make Advances. The Trust Administrator will provide notice to
the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Master Servicer by telecopy
by the close of business on any Master Servicer Remittance Date in the event
that the amount remitted by the Master Servicer to the Trust Administrator on
such date is less than the Advances required to be made by the Master Servicer
for the related Distribution Date.
(c) The obligation of the Master Servicer to make such Advances is
mandatory, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject to
(d) below, and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, shall continue until the
Mortgage Loan is paid in full or until the recovery of all Liquidation Proceeds
thereon.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Advance or
Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the Master Servicer
if such Advance or Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable
Advance. The determination by the Master Servicer that it has made a
Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Advance or Servicing Advance, if
made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by an
Officers' Certificate of the Master Servicer delivered to the NIMS Insurer, the
Guarantor, the Depositor, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee.

Section 4.06 Allocation of Realized Losses.
(a) Prior to each Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall
determine as to each Mortgage Loan and REO Property: (i) the total amount of
Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any Final Recovery
Determinations made during the related Prepayment Period; (ii) whether and the
extent to which such Realized Losses constituted Bankruptcy Losses; and (iii)
the respective portions of such Realized Losses allocable to interest and
allocable to principal. Prior to each Determination Date, the Master Servicer
shall also determine as to each Mortgage Loan: (i) the total amount of Realized
Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any Deficient Valuations made during
the related Prepayment Period; and (ii) the total amount of Realized Losses, if
any, incurred in connection with Debt Service Reductions in respect of Monthly
Payments due during the related Due Period. The information described in the two
preceding sentences that is to be supplied by the Master Servicer shall be
evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the NIMS Insurer, the Trust
Administrator and the Trustee (and upon request, to the Guarantor) by the Master
Servicer prior to the Determination Date immediately following the end of (i) in
the case of Bankruptcy Losses allocable to interest, the Due Period during which
any such Realized Loss was incurred, and (ii) in the case of all other Realized
Losses, the Prepayment Period during which any such Realized Loss was incurred.
145
(b) For the avoidance of doubt, through application of definitions
in Section 1.01, (A) all Realized Losses on the Group I Mortgage Loans on any
Distribution Date shall reduce the amount otherwise payable in respect of REMIC
3 Regular Interest LT3-IC pursuant to Section 4.01(d)(i)(i) (through the
reduction of the Group I Net Monthly Excess Cashflow resulting both from a
reduction in the Group I Overcollateralization Release Amount which reduces the
amount of the Group I Net Monthly Excess Cashflow and the application of the
Group I Net Monthly Excess Cashflow to fund the amount of the Group I
Overcollateralization Deficiency Amount, if any, caused by such Realized Losses)
until the Group I Overcollateralization Release Amount is reduced to zero and/or
the Group I Extra Principal Distribution Amount equals the Group I Net Monthly
Excess Cashflow, in each case for such Distribution Date after giving effect to
all Realized Losses incurred with respect to the Group I Mortgage Loans during
or prior to the related Due Period and distributions of principal with respect
to the Class I-A Certificates and the Group I Mezzanine Components on such
Distribution Date; and (B) all Realized Losses on the Group II Mortgage Loans on
any Distribution Date shall reduce the amount otherwise payable in respect of
REMIC 3 Regular Interest LT3-IIC pursuant to Section 4.01(d)(ii)(m) (through the
reduction of the Group II Net Monthly Excess Cashflow resulting both from a
reduction in the Group II Overcollateralization Release Amount which reduces the
amount of the Group II Net Monthly Excess Cashflow and the application of the
Group II Net Monthly Excess Cashflow to fund the amount of the Group II
Overcollateralization Deficiency Amount, if any, caused by such Realized Losses)
until the Group II Overcollateralization Release Amount is reduced to zero
and/or the Group II Extra Principal Distribution Amount equals the Group II Net
Monthly Excess Cashflow, in each case for such Distribution Date after giving
effect to all Realized Losses incurred with respect to the Group II Mortgage
Loans during or prior to the related Due Period and distributions of principal
with respect to the Class II-A Certificates, the Class II-M1 Certificates, the
Group II Mezzanine Components and the Class II-M4 Certificates on such
Distribution Date. If on any Distribution Date after giving effect to all
Realized Losses incurred with respect to the Group I Mortgage Loans during or
prior to the related Due Period and distributions of principal with respect to
the Class I-A Certificates and the Group I Mezzanine Components on such
Distribution Date, a Group I Overcollateralization Deficiency Amount exists and
such amount exceeds the Group I Net Monthly Excess Cashflow, the Realized Losses
equal to the amount of such excess shall be allocated by the Trust Administrator
on such Distribution Date as follows: first to the I-M3 Component, until the
Component Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, and second to the
I-M2 Component until the Component Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to
zero. If on any Distribution Date after giving effect to all Realized Losses
incurred with respect to the Group II Mortgage Loans during or prior to the
related Due Period and distributions of principal with respect to the Class II-A
Certificates, the Class II-M1 Certificates, the Group II Mezzanine Components
and the Class II-M4 Certificates on such Distribution Date, a Group II
Overcollateralization Deficiency Amount exists and such amount exceeds the Group

ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
Section 5.01 The Certificates.
(a) The Certificates in the aggregate will represent the entire
beneficial ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other assets
included in REMIC 1A and REMIC 1B.
The Certificates will be substantially in the forms annexed hereto as
Exhibits A-1 through A-17. The Certificates of each Class will be issuable in
registered form only, in denominations of authorized Percentage Interests as
described in the definition thereof. Each Certificate will share ratably in all
rights of the related Class.
Upon original issue, the Certificates shall be executed by the Trust
Administrator on behalf of the Trustee and authenticated and delivered by the
Trust Administrator, to or upon the order of the Depositor. The Certificates
shall be executed and attested by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the
Trust Administrator by an authorized signatory. Certificates bearing the manual
or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers
of the Trust Administrator shall bind the Trustee and the Trust Administrator,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such
offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not
hold such offices at the date of such Certificates. No
149
Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid
for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form provided herein executed by the Trustee
or the Trust Administrator by manual signature, and such certificate of
authentication shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All
Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.
(b) The Book Entry Certificates shall initially be issued as one
or more Certificates held by the Book-Entry Custodian or, if appointed to hold
such Certificates as provided below, the Depository and registered in the name
of the Depository or its nominee and, except as provided below, registration of
the Book-Entry Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator except to another Depository that agrees to hold the Book-Entry
Certificates for the respective Certificate Owners with Ownership Interests
therein. The Certificate Owners shall hold their respective Ownership Interests
in and to the Book-Entry Certificates through the book-entry facilities of the
Depository and, except as provided below, shall not be entitled to definitive,
fully registered Certificates ("Definitive Certificates") in respect of such
Ownership Interests. All transfers by Certificate Owners of their respective
Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance
with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm
representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only
transfer the Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate
Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in
accordance with the Depository's normal procedures. The Trust Administrator is
hereby initially appointed as the Book-Entry Custodian and hereby agrees to act
as such in accordance herewith and in accordance with the agreement that it has
with the Depository authorizing it to act as such. The Book-Entry Custodian may,
and if it is no longer qualified to act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian shall,
appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee and if the Trust Administrator is not the Book-Entry
Custodian, the Trust Administrator and any other transfer agent (including the
Depository or any successor Depository) to act as Book-Entry Custodian under
such conditions as the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian and the Depository or
any successor Depository may prescribe, provided that the predecessor Book-Entry
Custodian shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities by
reason of any such appointment of other than the Depository. If the Trust
Administrator resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, the
Trustee, successor Trust Administrator or, if it so elects, the Depository shall
immediately succeed to its predecessor's duties as Book-Entry Custodian. The
Depositor shall have the right to inspect, and to obtain copies of, any
Certificates held as Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian.
The Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer, the NIMS
Insurer and the Depositor may for all purposes (including the making of payments
due on the Book-Entry Certificates) deal with the Depository as the authorized
representative of the Certificate Owners with respect to the Book-Entry
Certificates for the purposes of the exercise by Certificateholders of the
rights of Certificateholders hereunder. The rights of Certificate Owners with
respect to the Book-Entry Certificates shall be limited to those established by
law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Depository
Participants and brokerage firms representing such Certificate Owners. Multiple
requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as Holder of the
Book-Entry Certificates with respect to any particular matter shall not be
deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate
Owners. The Trust
150
Administrator may establish a reasonable record date in connection with
solicitations of consents from or voting by Certificateholders and shall give
notice to the Depository of such record date.
If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Trust Administrator in writing that
the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as Depository, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a
qualified successor, (ii) the Depositor at its option advises the Trust
Administrator in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system
through the Depository or (iii) after the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event
of Default, Certificate Owners representing in the aggregate not less than 51%
of the Ownership Interests of the Book-Entry Certificates advise the Trust
Administrator through the Depository, in writing, that the continuation of a
book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of
the Certificate Owners, the Trust Administrator shall notify all Certificate
Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the
availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the
same. Upon surrender to the Trust Administrator of the Book-Entry Certificates
by the Book-Entry Custodian or the Depository, as applicable, accompanied by
registration instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer, the
Trust Administrator shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Such Definitive
Certificates will be issued in minimum denominations of $100,000, except that
any beneficial ownership that was represented by a Book-Entry Certificate in an
amount less than $100,000 immediately prior to the issuance of a Definitive
Certificate shall be issued in a minimum denomination equal to the amount
represented by such Book-Entry Certificate. None of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay
in the delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be
protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive
Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be
performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by
the Trust Administrator, to the extent applicable with respect to such
Definitive Certificates, and the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall
recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders
hereunder.
Section 5.02 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Trust Administrator shall cause to be kept at one of the
offices or agencies to be appointed by the Trust Administrator in accordance
with the provisions of Section 8.12 a Certificate Register for the Certificates

Administrator shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of
transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
(b) No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Class C

such disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and any applicable state securities
laws or is made in accordance with the 1933 Act and laws. In the event of any
such transfer (other than in connection with the initial transfer of any Class C
Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificates by the Depositor to
the Seller or the transfer of any Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or
Residual Certificates by the Seller to an Affiliate of the Seller or to a trust,
the depositor of which is an Affiliate of the Seller or the transfer of any
Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificates by an
Affiliate of the Seller to one or more entities sponsored by such Affiliate or
to a trust the depositor of which is one or more entities sponsored by such
Affiliate) (i) unless such transfer is made in reliance
151
upon Rule 144A (as evidenced by the investment letter delivered to the Trustee
and the Trust Administrator, in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit J) under the 1933 Act, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the
Depositor shall require a written Opinion of Counsel (which may be in-house
counsel) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Depositor that such transfer may be
made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis
therefor, from the 1933 Act or is being made pursuant to the 1933 Act, which
Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator or the Depositor or (ii) the Trust Administrator shall require the
transferor to execute a transferor certificate (in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit L) and the transferee to execute an investment letter
(in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit J) acceptable to and in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, the Trust
Administrator and the Trustee certifying to the Depositor, the Trust
Administrator and the Trustee the facts surrounding such transfer, which
investment letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator or the Depositor. The Holder of a Class C Certificate, Class P
Certificate or Residual Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and
does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the
Depositor and the Trust Fund against any liability that may result if the
transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and
state laws.
(c) Each Transferee of a Mezzanine Certificate will be deemed to
have represented by virtue of its purchase or holding of such Certificate (or
interest therein) that either (a) such Transferee is not a Plan or purchasing
such Certificate with Plan Assets, (b) it has acquired and is holding such
Certificate in reliance on Prohibited Transaction Exemption ("PTE") 94-84 and
FAN 97-03E, as amended by PTE 97-34 at 62 F.R. 39021 (July 21, 1997), as further
amended by XXX 0000-00, 00 X. X. 00000 (November 13, 2000) (the "Exemption"),
and that it understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of
the Exemption including that such Certificate must be rated, at the time of
purchase, not lower than "BBB-" (or its equivalent) by a Rating Agency or (c)
the following conditions are satisfied: (i) such Transferee is an insurance
company, (ii) the source of funds used to purchase or hold such Certificate (or
interest therein) is an "insurance company general account" (as defined in U.S.
Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60, and
(iii) the conditions set forth in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been

No transfer of a Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual
Certificate or any interest therein shall be made to any Plan subject to ERISA
or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on
behalf of any such Plan or any Person acquiring such Certificates with "Plan
Assets" of a Plan within the meaning of the Department of Labor regulation
promulgated at 29 C.F.R.'SS' 2510.3-101 ("Plan Assets") unless the Depositor,
the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Master Servicer are provided with
an Opinion of Counsel which establishes to the satisfaction of the Depositor,
the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Master Servicer that the purchase
of such Certificates is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or
result in any prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and
will not subject the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator or the Trust Fund to any obligation or liability (including
obligations or liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition
to those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an
expense of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator or the Trust Fund. Neither an Opinion of Counsel nor any
certification will be required in connection with the initial transfer of any
Class C
152
Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificates by the Depositor to
the Seller or the transfer of any Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or
Residual Certificates by the Seller to an Affiliate of the Seller or to a trust,
the depositor of which is an Affiliate of the Seller or the transfer of any
Class C Certificates, Class P Certificates or Residual Certificates by an
Affiliate of the Seller to one or more entities sponsored by such Affiliate or
to a trust the depositor of which is one or more entities sponsored by such
Affiliate (in which case, the Depositor, the Seller, any such Affiliate and such
entities sponsored by such Affiliate shall have deemed to have represented that
the applicable transferee is not a Plan or a Person investing Plan Assets) and
the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely
upon a representation (which, upon the request of the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, shall be a written representation) from the Depositor of the
status of each transferee the Seller or such an Affiliate. Each transferee of a
Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate shall sign a
letter substantially in the form of Exhibit I to demonstrate its compliance with
this Section 5.02(c) (other than in connection with the initial transfer of any
Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificates by the
Depositor to the Seller or the transfer of any Class C Certificate, Class P
Certificate or Residual Certificates by the Seller to an Affiliate of the Seller
or to a trust, the depositor of which is an Affiliate of the Seller or the
transfer of any Class C Certificates, Class P Certificates or Residual
Certificates by an Affiliate of the Seller to one or more entities sponsored by
such Affiliate or to a trust the depositor of which is one or more entities
sponsored by such Affiliate).
If any Mezzanine Certificate, Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate
or Residual Certificate or any interest therein is acquired or held in violation
of the provisions of the preceding paragraphs, the next preceding permitted
beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner of that Certificate
retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial owner. Any
purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of any such Certificate
or interest therein was effected in violation of the provisions of the preceding
paragraph shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Trust Fund from and against any and
all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by those parties as a result
of that acquisition or holding.
(d) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in
a Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to
have irrevocably appointed the Depositor or its designee as its attorney-in-fact
to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (v) below and to
execute all instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in
connection with any such sale, and the rights of each Person acquiring any
Ownership Interest in a 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 Trust Administrator of any change
or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.
(ii) No Person shall acquire an Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate unless such Ownership Interest is a pro rata
undivided interest.
153
(iii) In connection with any proposed transfer of any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Trust Administrator
shall as a condition to registration of the transfer,
require delivery to it, in form and substance satisfactory
to it, of each of the following:
A. an affidavit in the form of Exhibit K hereto from the
proposed transferee to the effect that such transferee is
a Permitted Transferee and that it is not acquiring its
Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate that is
the subject of the proposed transfer as a nominee,
trustee or agent for any Person who is not a Permitted
Transferee; and
B. a covenant of the proposed transferee to the effect that
the proposed transferee agrees to be bound by and to
abide by the transfer restrictions applicable to the
Residual Certificates.
(iv) Any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the
provisions of this Section shall be absolutely null and void
and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. If any
purported transferee shall, in violation of the provisions
of this Section, become a Holder of a Residual Certificate,
then the prior Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a
Permitted Transferee shall, upon discovery that the
registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate was
not in fact permitted by this Section, be restored to all
rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of
registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate.
Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be
under any liability to any Person for any registration of
transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not
permitted by this Section or for making any distributions
due on such Residual Certificate to the Holder thereof or
taking any other action with respect to such Holder under
the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Trustee or
the Trust Administrator received the documents specified in
clause (iii). The Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall
be entitled to recover from any Holder of a Residual
Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at
the time such distributions were made all distributions made
on such Residual Certificate. Any such distributions so
recovered by the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall be
distributed and delivered by the Trust Administrator to the
prior Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a
Permitted Transferee.
(v) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of
the restrictions in this Section, then the Trustee and the
Trust Administrator shall have the right but not the
obligation, without notice to the Holder of such Residual
Certificate or any other Person having an Ownership Interest
therein, to notify the Depositor to arrange for the sale of
such Residual Certificate. The proceeds of such sale, net of
commissions (which may include commissions payable to the
Depositor or its affiliates in connection with
154
such sale), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted
by the Trust Administrator to the previous Holder of such
Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee, except
that in the event that the Trust Administrator determines
that the Holder of such Residual Certificate may be liable
for any amount due under this Section or any other
provisions of this Agreement, the Trust Administrator may
withhold a corresponding amount from such remittance as
security for such claim. The terms and conditions of any
sale under this clause (v) shall be determined in the sole
discretion of the Trust Administrator and it shall not be
liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate as a result of its exercise of such
discretion.
(vi) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of
the restrictions in this Section, then the Trust
Administrator will provide to the Internal Revenue Service,
and to the persons designated in Section 860E(e)(3) of the
Code, information needed to compute the tax imposed under
Section 860E(e)(1) of the Code on such transfer.
The foregoing provisions of this Section shall cease to apply to
transfers occurring on or after the date on which there shall have been
delivered to the Trust Administrator, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trust Administrator, (i) written notification from each Rating Agency that the
removal of the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Section will not cause
such Rating Agency to downgrade its rating of any of the NIM Notes or the
Certificates and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such removal will
not cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC.
(e) Subject to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of the Trust
Administrator designated from time to time for such purpose pursuant to Section
8.12, the Trust Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall execute and
authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated Transferee or
Transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class of a like aggregate
Percentage Interest.
(f) At the option of the Holder thereof, any Certificate may be
exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class with authorized denominations
and a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of such Certificate to
be exchanged at any office or agency of the Trust Administrator maintained for
such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange the Trust Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee,
shall execute, authenticate and deliver the Certificates which the
Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate
presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the
Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in the form satisfactory to the Trust Administrator duly executed by,
the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
(g) No service charge shall be made for any registration of
transfer or exchange of Certificates of any Class, but the Trust Administrator
may require payment of a sum
155
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
shall be canceled by the Trust Administrator and disposed of pursuant to its
standard procedures.
Section 5.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trust
Administrator or the Trust Administrator receives evidence to its satisfaction
of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (ii) there is delivered
to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Depositor and (in the case of a
Class C Certificate or Class P Certificate) the NIMS Insurer such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them, and the Trust Fund,
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trust Administrator that such
Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trust Administrator,
on behalf of the Trustee, shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange
for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a
new Certificate of like tenor and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any
new Certificate under this Section, the Trust Administrator may require the
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees
and expenses of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator) in connection
therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section, shall
constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if
originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate
shall be found at any time.
Section 5.04 Persons Deemed Owners.
The Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor and any agent of the Master
Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the NIMS Insurer
or the Guarantor may treat the Person, including a Depository, in whose name any
Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of
receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 and for all other purposes
whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the
Trust Administrator, the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor nor any agent of any of
them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
ARTICLE VI
THE MASTER SERVICER AND THE DEPOSITOR
Section 6.01 Liability of the Master Servicer and the Depositor.
The Depositor and the Master Servicer each shall be liable in
accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed
by this Agreement and undertaken hereunder by the Depositor and the Master
Servicer herein.
156
Section 6.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or the Master Servicer.
Subject to the following paragraph, the Depositor will keep in full
effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of
the jurisdiction of its incorporation. Subject to the following paragraph, the
Master Servicer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as
a corporation under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and its
qualification as an approved conventional seller/servicer for Xxxxxx Xxx or
Xxxxxxx Mac in good standing. The Depositor and the Master Servicer each will
obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in
each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to
protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or
any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective duties under this
Agreement.
The Depositor or the Master Servicer may be merged or consolidated with
or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any
Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to
which the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person
succeeding to the business of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, shall be the
successor of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as the case may be,
hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person to
the Master Servicer shall be qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf of
Xxxxxx Mae; and provided further that the Rating Agencies' ratings of the NIM
Notes, the Class II-A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates in effect
immediately prior to such merger or consolidation will not be qualified, reduced
or withdrawn as a result thereof (as evidenced by a letter to such effect from
the Rating Agencies to the Trust Administrator).
Section 6.03 Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and
Others.
None of the Depositor, the Guarantor, the Master Servicer or any of the
directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Guarantor or the
Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the
Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any
action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment;
provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the
Guarantor, the Master Servicer or any such person against any breach of
warranties, representations or covenants made herein, or against any specific
liability imposed on the Master Servicer, the Depositor, or the Guarantor, as
applicable, pursuant hereto, or against any liability which would otherwise be
imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and
duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Guarantor, the Master Servicer and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Guarantor or the
Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, prima
facie, is properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters
arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Guarantor, the Master Servicer and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Guarantor or the
Master Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against
any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action
relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability
or expense relating to any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as
any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to
this Agreement) or any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in
157
the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder. None of the Depositor, the Guarantor or the
Master Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend
any legal action unless such action is related to its respective duties under
this Agreement and, in its opinion, does not involve it in any expense or
liability; provided, however, that each of the Depositor, the Guarantor and the
Master Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action which it may
deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and
duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders
hereunder. In such event, unless the Depositor, the Guarantor or the Master
Servicer acts without the consent of Holders of Certificates entitled to at
least 51% of the Voting Rights (which consent shall not be necessary in the case
of litigation or other legal action by either to enforce their respective rights
or defend themselves hereunder), the legal expenses and costs of such action and
any liability resulting therefrom (except any loss, liability or expense
incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder) shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of
the Trust Fund, and the Depositor, the Guarantor and the Master Servicer shall
be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as and to the
extent provided in Section 3.11, any such right of reimbursement being prior to
the rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection
Account.
The Master Servicer (except the Trust Administrator or the Trustee to
the extent it has succeeded the Master Servicer as required hereunder)
indemnifies and holds the Trust Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor, the
Guarantor and the Trust Fund harmless against any and all claims, losses,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs,
judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Trust Administrator,
the Trustee, the Depositor, the Guarantor or the Trust Fund may sustain in any
way related to the failure of the Master Servicer to perform its duties and
service the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The
Master Servicer shall immediately notify the Trust Administrator, the Trustee,
the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor and the Depositor if a claim is made that may
result in such claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees or
related costs, judgments, or any other costs, fees and expenses, and the Master
Servicer shall assume (with the consent of the Trust Administrator) the defense
of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including
reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or
decree which may be entered against the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Guarantor and/or the Trust Fund
in respect of such claim. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the payment of the outstanding Certificates.
Section 6.04 Limitation on Resignation of Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties
hereby imposed on it except (i) upon determination that its duties hereunder are
no longer permissible under applicable law or (ii) with the written consent of
the Trust Administrator and the NIMS Insurer or the Guarantor (as provided in
Section 1.04) and written confirmation from each Rating Agency (which
confirmation shall be furnished to the Depositor and the Trust Administrator)
that such resignation will not cause such Rating Agency to reduce the then
current rating of any of the NIM Notes, the Class II-A Certificates or the
Mezzanine Certificates. Any such determination pursuant to clause (i) of the
preceding sentence permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect obtained at the expense of the
Master
158
Servicer and delivered to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator. No
resignation of the Master Servicer shall become effective until the Trust
Administrator or a successor servicer reasonably acceptable to the NIMS Insurer
or the Guarantor (as provided in Section 1.04) shall have assumed the Master
Servicer's responsibilities, duties, liabilities (other than those liabilities
arising prior to the appointment of such successor) and obligations under this
Agreement.
Except as expressly provided herein, the Master Servicer shall not
assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any
other Person, nor delegate to or subcontract with, nor authorize or appoint any
other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be
performed by the Master Servicer hereunder. The foregoing prohibition on
assignment shall not prohibit the Master Servicer from designating a
Sub-Servicer as payee of any indemnification amount payable to the Master
Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that as provided in Section 3.06 hereof,
no Sub-Servicer shall be a third-party beneficiary hereunder and the parties
hereto shall not be required to recognize any Sub-Servicer as an indemnitee
under this Agreement. If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the
Master Servicer are transferred to a successor master servicer, the entire
amount of the Servicing Fee and other compensation payable to the Master
Servicer pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable to such successor master
servicer.
Section 6.05 Rights of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor, the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator in Respect of the Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall afford (and any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall
provide that each Sub-Servicer shall afford) the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer,
the Guarantor, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee, upon reasonable notice,
during normal business hours, access to all records maintained by the Master
Servicer (and any such Sub-Servicer) in respect of the Master Servicer's rights
and obligations hereunder and access to officers of the Master Servicer (and
those of any such Sub-Servicer) responsible for such obligations; provided, that
access to records for the Guarantor shall be limited to those related to Group I
Mortgage Loans. Upon request, the Master Servicer shall furnish to the
Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor, the Trust Administrator and the
Trustee its (and any such Sub-Servicer's) most recent financial statements and
such other information relating to the Master Servicer's capacity to perform its
obligations under this Agreement that it possesses; provided, that any such
information furnished to the Guarantor shall be limited to that which is related
to Group I Mortgage Loans. To the extent such information is not otherwise
available to the public, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor, the
Trust Administrator and the Trustee shall not disseminate any information
obtained pursuant to the preceding two sentences without the Master Servicer's
(or any such Sub-Servicer's) written consent, except as required pursuant to
this Agreement or to the extent that it is necessary to do so (i) in working
with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies,
rating agencies or reinsurers or (ii) pursuant to any law, rule, regulation,
order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental
authority having jurisdiction over the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the
Guarantor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Trust Fund, and in either
case, the Depositor, the Guarantor, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as
the case may be, shall use, and the NIMS Insurer shall be deemed to have agreed
with the parties hereto to use, its best efforts to assure the confidentiality
of any such disseminated non-public information. The Depositor may, but is not
obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to
perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master
159
Servicer under this Agreement or exercise the rights of the Master Servicer
under this Agreement; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be relieved of
any of its obligations under this Agreement by virtue of such performance by the
Depositor or its designee. The Depositor shall not have any responsibility or
liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer and is not
obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement or otherwise.
ARTICLE VII
DEFAULT
Section 7.01 Master Servicer Events of Default.
"Master Servicer Event of Default," wherever used herein, means any one
of the following events:
(i) any failure by the Master Servicer to remit to the Trust
Administrator for distribution to the Certificateholders any
payment (other than an Advance required to be made from its own
funds on any Master Servicer Remittance Date pursuant to Section
4.04) required to be made under the terms of the Certificates and
this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of one
Business Day after the date upon which written notice of such
failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given
to the Master Servicer by the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator (in which case notice shall be provided by
telecopy), or to the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Trust
Administrator and the Trustee by the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor
or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the
Voting Rights; or
(ii) any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to
observe or perform in any material respect any of the covenants or
agreements on the part of the Master Servicer contained in this
Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of 45 days (30
days in the case of any failure to maintain a Sub-Servicing
Agreement with an eligible Sub-Servicer to the extent required in
accordance with Section 3.02(c)) after the earlier of (i) the date
on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be
remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the
Depositor, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, or to the
Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Trust Administrator and the
Trustee by the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor or the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights and
(ii) actual knowledge of such failure by a Servicing
Representative of the Master Servicer; or
(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory
authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary
case under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar law or the appointment of a conservator or
receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt,
marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceeding, or for
the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been
entered against the Master Servicer and if
160
such proceeding is being contested by the Master Servicer in good
faith, such decree or order shall have remained in force
undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days or results in the
entry of an order for relief or any such adjudication or
appointment; or
(iv) the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency,
readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or
similar proceedings of or relating to it or of or relating to all
or substantially all of its property; or
(v) the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to
pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to
take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization
statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or
(vi) any failure by the Master Servicer of the Master Servicer
Termination Test; or
(vii) any failure of the Master Servicer to make, or cause an
Advancing Person to make, any Advance on any Master Servicer
Remittance Date required to be made from its own funds pursuant to
Section 4.04 which continues unremedied until 3:00 p.m. New York
time on the Business Day immediately following the Master Servicer
Remittance Date; or
(viii) the Master Servicer ceases to be an approved seller or
servicer of Xxxxxx Xxx.
If a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clauses (i) through
(vi) of this Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long
as such Master Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the
Depositor or the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the NIMS Insurer,
the Guarantor, or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of Voting
Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the NIMS Insurer, the
Guarantor and the Master Servicer (and to the Depositor and the Trust
Administrator if given by the Trustee or to the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator if given by the Depositor), terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this
Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, and in and to the Mortgage Loans and
the proceeds thereof. If a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clauses
(vii) or (viii) hereof shall occur, the Trust Administrator shall, by notice in
writing to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor and
the Depositor, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master
Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to
the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. On or after the receipt by the
Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other
than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall
pass to and be vested in the Trust Administrator pursuant to and under this
Section and, without limitation, the Trust Administrator is hereby authorized
and empowered, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute and deliver on
behalf of and at the expense of the Master Servicer, any and all documents and
other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination,
161
whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage
Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees, at its
sole cost and expense, promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business
Days subsequent to such notice) to provide the Trust Administrator with all
documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the Master
Servicer's functions under this Agreement, and to cooperate with the Trust
Administrator and the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master
Servicer's responsibilities and rights under this Agreement, including, without
limitation, the transfer within one Business Day to the Trust Administrator for
administration by it of all cash amounts which at the time shall be or should
have been credited by the Master Servicer to the Collection Account held by or
on behalf of the Master Servicer, or any REO Account or Servicing Account held
by or on behalf of the Master Servicer or thereafter be received with respect to
the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property (provided, however, that the Master
Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing
to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, whether
in respect of Advances or otherwise, and shall continue to be entitled to the
benefits of Section 6.03, notwithstanding any such termination, with respect to
events occurring prior to such termination). For purposes of this Section 7.01,
the Trust Administrator and the Trustee, as applicable, shall not be deemed to
have knowledge of a Master Servicer Event of Default unless a Responsible
Officer of the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, assigned to
and working in the Trust Administrator's or the Trustee's Corporate Trust
Office, as the case may be, has actual knowledge thereof or unless written
notice of any event which is in fact such a Master Servicer Event of Default is
received by the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, and such
notice references the Certificates, any of the Trust REMICs or this Agreement.
The Trustee and the Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall be
entitled to be reimbursed by the Master Servicer (or by the Trust Fund if the
Master Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all costs
associated with the transfer of servicing from the predecessor master servicer,
including without limitation, any costs or expenses associated with the complete
transfer of all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of
such servicing data as may be required by the Trust Administrator or the Trustee
to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to
enable the Trust Administrator or the Trustee to service the Mortgage Loans
properly and effectively.
Section 7.02 Trust Administrator to Act; Appointment of Successor.
(a) On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of
termination, the Trust Administrator shall be the successor in all respects to
the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement and
the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all
the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising
thereafter, which shall be assumed by the Trust Administrator (except for any
representations or warranties of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities contained in Section 2.03(c) and its
obligation to deposit amounts in respect of losses pursuant to Section 3.12) by
the terms and provisions hereof including, without limitation, the Master
Servicer's obligations to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.04; provided,
however, that if the Trust Administrator is prohibited by law or regulation from
obligating itself to make advances regarding delinquent Mortgage Loans, then the
Trust Administrator shall not be obligated to make Advances pursuant to Section
4.04; and provided further, that any failure to perform such duties or
responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer's failure to provide information
required by Section 7.01 shall not be considered a default by the Trust
Administrator as successor to the
162
Master Servicer hereunder; provided, however, it is understood and acknowledged
by the parties that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days)
before the servicing transfer is fully effected. As compensation therefor, the
Trust Administrator shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee and all funds
relating to the Mortgage Loans to which the Master Servicer would have been
entitled if it had continued to act hereunder (other than amounts which were due
or would become due to the Master Servicer prior to its termination or
resignation). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall
the Trust Administrator be liable for any Servicing Fee or for any differential
in the amount of the Servicing Fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to
induce any successor Master Servicer to act as successor Master Servicer under
this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein. After the
Master Servicer receives a notice of termination, notwithstanding the above and
subject to the next paragraph, the Trust Administrator may, if it shall be
unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act or if it is prohibited
by law from making advances regarding delinquent Mortgage Loans, or if the NIMS
Insurer, the Guarantor or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51%
of the Voting Rights so request in writing to the Trust Administrator, promptly
appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, an
established mortgage loan servicing institution acceptable to each Rating
Agency, having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 and reasonably
acceptable to the NIMS Insurer or the Guarantor, as provided in Section 1.04, as
the successor to the Master Servicer under this Agreement in the assumption of
all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement.
No appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer under this
Agreement shall be effective until the assumption by the successor of all of the
Master Servicer's responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder. In
connection with such appointment and assumption described herein, the Trust
Administrator may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor
out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree;
provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that
permitted the Master Servicer as such hereunder. The Depositor, the Trustee, the
Trust Administrator and such successor shall take such action, consistent with
this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Pending
appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer under this Agreement, the
Trust Administrator shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided.
Upon removal or resignation of the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator, with the cooperation of the Depositor, (x) shall solicit bids for
a successor Master Servicer as described below and (y) pending the appointment
of a successor Master Servicer as a result of soliciting such bids, shall serve
as Master Servicer of the Mortgage Loans serviced by such predecessor Master
Servicer. The Trust Administrator shall solicit, by public announcement, bids
from housing and home finance institutions, banks and mortgage servicing
institutions meeting the qualifications set forth in the first paragraph of this
Section 7.02 (including the Trust Administrator, the Trustee or any affiliate
thereof). Such public announcement shall specify that the successor Master
Servicer shall be entitled to the servicing compensation agreed upon between the
Trust Administrator, the successor Master Servicer and the Depositor; provided,
however, that no such fee shall exceed the Servicing Fee. Within thirty days
after any such public announcement, the Trust Administrator with the cooperation
of the Depositor, shall negotiate in good faith and effect the sale, transfer
and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder to the
qualified party submitting the highest satisfactory bid as to the price they
will pay to obtain such servicing. The Trust Administrator, upon receipt of the
163
purchase price shall pay such purchase price to the Master Servicer being so
removed, after deducting from any sum received by the Trust Administrator from
the successor to the Master Servicer in respect of such sale, transfer and
assignment all costs and expenses of any public announcement and of any sale,
transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities reasonably
incurred hereunder. After such deductions, the remainder of such sum shall be
paid by the Trust Administrator to the Master Servicer at the time of such sale.
(b) If the Master Servicer fails to remit to the Trust
Administrator for distribution to the Certificateholders any payment required to
be made under the terms of this Agreement (for purposes of this Section 7.02(b),
a "Remittance") because the Master Servicer is the subject of a proceeding under
the Bankruptcy Code and the making of such Remittance is prohibited by Section
362 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Trust Administrator shall upon written notice of
such prohibition, regardless of whether it has received a notice of termination
under Section 7.01, shall be treated as though it had succeeded to the Master
Servicer and shall advance the amount of such Remittance by depositing such
amount in the Distribution Account on the related Distribution Date. The Trust
Administrator shall be obligated to make such advance only if (i) such advance,
in the good faith judgment of the Trust Administrator can reasonably be expected
to be ultimately recoverable from Stayed Funds and (ii) the Trust Administrator
is not prohibited by law from making such advance or obligating itself to do so.
Upon remittance of the Stayed Funds to the Trust Administrator or the deposit
thereof in the Distribution Account by the Master Servicer, a trustee in
bankruptcy or a federal bankruptcy court, the Trust Administrator may recover
the amount so advanced, without interest, by withdrawing such amount from the
Distribution Account; however, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to
affect the Trust Administrator's rights to recover from the Master Servicer's
own funds interest on the amount of any such advance. If the Trust Administrator
at any time makes an advance under this Subsection which it later determines in
its good faith judgment will not be ultimately recoverable from the Stayed Funds
with respect to which such advance was made, the Trust Administrator shall be
entitled to reimburse itself for such advance, without interest, by withdrawing
from the Distribution Account, out of amounts on deposit therein, an amount
equal to the portion of such advance attributable to the Stayed Funds.
Section 7.03 Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any termination of the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 7.01 above or any appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.02 above, the Trust Administrator shall give prompt
written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses
appearing in the Certificate Register, to the NIMS Insurer and to the Guarantor.
(b) Not later than the later of 60 days after the occurrence of
any event, which constitutes or which, with notice or lapse of time or both,
would constitute a Master Servicer Event of Default or five days after a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator becomes aware of
the occurrence of such an event, the Trust Administrator shall transmit by mail
to all Holders of Certificates, to the NIMS Insurer and to the Guarantor notice
of each such occurrence, unless such default or Master Servicer Event of Default
shall have been cured or waived.
164
Section 7.04 Waiver of Master Servicer Events of Default.
The Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting Rights evidenced by
all Classes of Certificates affected by any default or Master Servicer Event of
Default hereunder may, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer or the Guarantor, as
provided in Section 1.04, waive such default or Master Servicer Event of
Default; provided, however, that a default or Master Servicer Event of Default
under clause (i) or (vii) of Section 7.01 may be waived only by all of the
Holders of the Regular Certificates and the NIMS Insurer or the Guarantor, as
provided in Section 1.04 (as evidenced by the written consent of the NIMS
Insurer or the Guarantor, as the case may be). Upon any such waiver of a default
or Master Servicer Event of Default, such default or Master Servicer Event of
Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every
purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other
default or Master Servicer Event of Default or impair any right consequent
thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
ARTICLE VIII
THE TRUSTEE AND THE TRUST ADMINISTRATOR
Section 8.01 Duties of Trustee and Trust Administrator.
Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, prior to the
occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default and after the curing of all
Master Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform
such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement. During a Master Servicer Event of Default, each of the Trustee and
the Trust Administrator shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in
it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their
exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in
the conduct of such person's own affairs. Any permissive right of the Trustee or
the Trust Administrator enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a
duty.
Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, upon receipt of all
resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or
other instruments furnished to the Trust Administrator which are specifically
required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall
examine them to determine whether they conform to the requirements of this
Agreement. If any such instrument is found not to conform to the requirements of
this Agreement in a material manner, the Trust Administrator shall take such
action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the
instrument is not corrected to the Trust Administrator's satisfaction, the Trust
Administrator will provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator from liability for its own negligent action,
its own negligent failure to act or its own misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default,
and after the curing of all such Master Servicer Events of Default
which may have occurred, the duties
165
and obligations of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall
be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement,
neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be liable except
for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically
set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall
be read into this Agreement against the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator, as the case may be, may conclusively rely, as to
the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions
expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the case may be, that conform to
the requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of
judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible
Officers of the Trustee unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be
personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted
to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the
NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor or the Holders of Certificates entitled to
at least 25% of the Voting Rights relating to the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, or exercising any trust or power
conferred upon the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, under this
Agreement.

the Guarantor or such Certificateholders shall have offered to the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, security or
indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and
166
liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained
herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee or the Trust Administrator
of the obligation, upon the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of
Default (which has not been cured or waived), to exercise such of the

bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so
by the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor or the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; provided, however, that
if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, as applicable, of the costs, expenses or liabilities
likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in
the opinion of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable,
not reasonably assured to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as
applicable, by the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor or such

(vi) Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator may execute
any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder

as such agents, custodians, nominees or attorneys are appointed with
due and proper care);
(vii) Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be
personally liable for any loss resulting from the investment of funds
held in the Collection Account at the direction of the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.12; and

enforced by it without the possession of any of the Certificates, or the
production thereof at the trial or other proceeding relating thereto, and any
such suit, action or proceeding instituted by the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator shall be brought in its name for the benefit of all the Holders of
such Certificates, subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
Section 8.03 Neither Trustee nor Trust Administrator Liable for Certificates or
Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the
signature of the Trust Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, the execution
and authentication of the Trust Administrator on the Certificates, the
acknowledgments of the Trust Administrator contained in Article II and the
representations and warranties of the Trustee and Trust Administrator in Section
8.13) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor, and neither the Trustee
nor the Trust Administrator shall assume any responsibility for their
correctness. Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator makes any

or the Trust Administrator in accordance with Section 3.10.
Section 8.04 Trustee and Trust Administrator May own Certificates.

Account on each Distribution Date and pay to itself one day's interest earnings
(net of losses) on amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account. In addition

Administrator and the Seller. The principal compensation to be paid to the
Trustee in respect of its obligations under this Agreement will be the amounts
paid by the Trust Administrator pursuant to a letter agreement between the Trust
Administrator and the Trustee.
168
Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, and any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as
applicable, shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any
loss, liability or expense (not including expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable,
including the compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and
counsel, in the ordinary course of the Trustee's or the Trust Administrator's,
as the case may be, performance in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement) incurred by the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable,
arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its
obligations and duties under this Agreement, other than any loss, liability or
expense (i) resulting from the Master Servicer's actions or omissions in
connection with this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans, (ii) that constitutes a
specific liability of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable,
pursuant to Section 10.01(c) or (iii) any loss, liability or expense incurred by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of
duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties
hereunder, or in the case of the Trust Administrator, as a result of a breach of
the Trust Administrator's obligations under Article X hereof. Any amounts
payable to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, or any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator,
as applicable, in respect of the indemnification provided by this paragraph (a),
or pursuant to any other right of reimbursement from the Trust Fund that the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, or any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, may
have hereunder in its capacity as such, may be withdrawn by the Trust
Administrator from the Distribution Account at any time. Such indemnity shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation of the Trustee or
the Trust Administrator.
As a limitation on the foregoing with respect to certain expenses of
the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, each of the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator shall receive from the Trust Fund amounts with respect to
indemnification for counsel fees and expenses (collectively, "Legal Fees") in
connection with any third-party litigation or other claims alleging violations
of laws or regulations relating to consumer lending and/or servicing of the
Trust Fund (collectively, "Third Party Claims") in an amount not greater than
$25,000 per month, and $600,000 in the aggregate (with amounts in excess of
$25,000 for any month carried-forward to subsequent months, until the $600,000
aggregate maximum is reached). Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator
shall have any obligation to incur additional expenses for which reimbursement
is limited pursuant to this paragraph in excess of the aggregate limit set forth
above unless it has received reasonable security or indemnity for such
additional expenses. The Certificateholders shall hold each of the Trustee and
the Trust Administrator harmless for any consequences to such Certificateholders
resulting from any failure of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator to incur
any such additional expenses in excess of the aforementioned aggregate limit.
(b) Without limiting the Master Servicer's indemnification
obligations under Section 6.03, the Master Servicer agrees to indemnify, the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator from, and hold each of them harmless
against, any loss, liability or expense resulting from a breach of the Master
Servicer's obligations and duties under this Agreement. Such indemnity shall
survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement and the resignation or
removal of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator. Any payment under this
Section 8.05(b) made by the Master Servicer to the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator shall be from the Master Servicer's own funds, without
reimbursement from the Trust Fund therefor.
169
Section 8.06 Eligibility Requirements for Trustee and Trust Administrator.
Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator hereunder shall at all
times be a corporation or an association (other than the Depositor, the Seller,
the Master Servicer or any Affiliate of the foregoing) organized and doing
business under the laws of any state or the United States of America, authorized
under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital
and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authority. If such corporation or association publishes reports
of conditions at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the
aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association
shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most
recent report of conditions so published. In case at any time the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions
of this Section, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the case may be,
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section
8.07.
Section 8.07 Resignation or Removal of Trustee and Trust Administrator.
Either of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator may at any time resign
and be discharged from the trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof
to the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the
Certificateholders and if the Trustee is resigning to the Trust Administrator,
or if the Trust Administrator is resigning, to the Trustee. Upon receiving such
notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee
or Trust Administrator by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument
shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee or Trust Administrator and to the
successor Trustee or Trust Administrator acceptable to the NIMS Insurer or the
Guarantor, as provided in Section 1.04, and to the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights. A copy of such instrument shall
be delivered to the Certificateholders, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator,
as applicable, and the Master Servicer by the Depositor. If no successor Trustee
or Trust Administrator shall have been so appointed and have accepted
appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the
resigning Trustee or Trust Administrator, as applicable, may petition any court
of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trust
Administrator, as applicable.
If at any time the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to
resign after written request therefor by the Depositor or the NIMS Insurer or
the Guarantor, as provided in Section 1.04 (or in the case of the Trust
Administrator, the Trustee), or if at any time the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or
insolvent, or a receiver of either of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator or
of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or
control of either of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator or of its property
or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then
the Depositor or the NIMS Insurer or the Guarantor, as provided in Section 1.04
(or in the case of the Trust Administrator, the Trustee), may remove the Trustee
or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, and the Depositor may appoint a
successor Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable (which may be the
same person, if both the Trustee and the Trust Administrator are removed),
acceptable to the NIMS Insurer or the Guarantor, as provided in Section 1.04,
and to the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights, by
170
written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered
to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, so removed and to the
successor Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable. A copy of such
instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders and the Master Servicer
by the Depositor.
The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer or the Guarantor, as provided in
Section 1.04, may at any time remove the Trustee or the Trust Administrator and
appoint a successor Trustee or the Trust Administrator by written instrument or
instruments, in triplicate, signed by the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor or such
Holders, as applicable, or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete
set of which instruments shall be delivered to the Depositor, one complete set
to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the case may be, so removed and
one complete set to the successor so appointed. A copy of such instrument shall
be delivered to the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor, the Certificateholders and the
Master Servicer by the Depositor. In addition, if the Trustee has knowledge that
the Trust Administrator has breached any of its duties under this Agreement, the
Trustee may remove the Trust Administrator in the same manner as provided in the
prior sentence. For purposes of this Section, the Trustee shall not be deemed to
have knowledge of a breach by the Trust Administrator of any of its duties
hereunder, unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, assigned to and working
in the Trustee's Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless
written notice of any event which is in fact such a breach is received by the
Trustee, and such notice references the Certificates, the Trust Fund or this
Agreement.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator
and appointment of a successor Trustee or Trust Administrator pursuant to any of
the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of
appointment by the successor Trustee or the Trust Administrator as provided in
Section 8.08. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Trust
Administrator advises the Trustee that it is unable to continue to perform its
obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement prior to the appointment of
a successor, the Trustee shall be obligated to perform such obligations until a
new Trust Administrator is appointed and shall be entitled to receive any fees
that would have otherwise been payable to the Trust Administrator hereunder.
Such performance shall be without prejudice to any claim by a party hereto or
beneficiary hereof resulting from the Trust Administrator's breach of its
obligations hereunder.
Section 8.08 Successor Trustee or Trust Administrator.
Any successor Trustee or Trust Administrator appointed as provided in
Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, and to its
predecessor Trustee or Trust Administrator, as applicable, an instrument
accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal
of the predecessor Trustee or Trust Administrator shall become effective and
such successor Trustee or Trust Administrator, 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 or Trust Administrator herein. The predecessor Trustee or Trust
Administrator shall deliver to the successor Trustee or Trust Administrator all
Mortgage Files and related documents and statements, as well as all moneys, held
by it hereunder (other than any Mortgage Files at the time held by a Custodian,
which Custodian shall become the agent of any successor Trustee hereunder), and
the Depositor and the predecessor Trustee or Trust Administrator shall execute
and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be
required for more
171
fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Trustee or Trust
Administrator all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
No successor Trustee or Trust Administrator shall accept appointment as
provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor
Trustee or Trust Administrator shall be eligible under the provisions of Section
8.06 and the appointment of such successor Trustee or Trust Administrator shall
not result in a downgrading of any of the NIM Notes or any Class of Certificates
by either Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee or Trust
Administrator as provided in this Section, the Depositor shall mail notice of
the succession of such Trustee or Trust Administrator hereunder to all Holders
of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. If the
Depositor fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of
appointment by the successor Trustee or Trust Administrator, the successor
Trustee or Trust Administrator shall cause such notice to be mailed at the
expense of the Depositor.
Section 8.09 Merger or Consolidation of Trustee or Trust Administrator.
Any corporation or association into which the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or
any corporation or association resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the case may
be, shall be a party, or any corporation or association succeeding to the
business of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, shall be the successor of
the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, respectively, hereunder, provided such
corporation or association shall be eligible under the provisions of Section
8.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
Section 8.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part
of REMIC 1A or REMIC 1B, or property securing the same may at the time be
located, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, acting jointly shall have the
power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more
Persons approved by the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer or the Guarantor (as
provided in Section 1.04), to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the
Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of REMIC
1A or REMIC 1B, as applicable, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such
capacity, such title to REMIC 1A and/or REMIC 1B, or any part thereof and,
subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties,
obligations, rights and trusts as the Master Servicer and the Trustee may
consider necessary or desirable. If the Master Servicer shall not have joined in
such appointment or the NIMS Insurer or the Guarantor shall (as provided in
Section 1.04) not have approved such appointment within 15 days after the
receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case a Master Servicer Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the
power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder
shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under
Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to Holders of Certificates of the
appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under
Section 8.08 hereof. If such appointment is at the request of the Master
Servicer then any
172
expense of the Trustee shall be deemed a Servicing Advance for all purpose of
this Agreement, otherwise it will be an expense of the Trustee and will be
payable out of the Trustee's funds.
In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee
pursuant to this Section 8.10 all rights, powers, duties and obligations
conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee
jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which
any particular act or acts are to be performed by the Trustee (whether as
Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee
shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event
such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to
REMIC 1A or REMIC 1B, or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be
exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction
of the Trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees,
as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance
of the trust conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified
in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately,
as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the
Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee.
Section 8.11 Appointment of Custodians.
The Trust Administrator may, with the consent of the Depositor and the
Master Servicer, appoint one or more Custodians to hold all or a portion of the
Mortgage Files as agent for the Trust Administrator, by entering into a
Custodial Agreement. The Trust Administrator shall initially serve as the
Custodian and this Agreement shall serve as the Custodial Agreement. The
appointment of any Custodian may at any time be terminated and a substitute
Custodian appointed therefor upon the reasonable request of the Master Servicer
to the Trust Administrator and the consent of the NIMS Insurer, after
consultation with the Guarantor, the consent to which shall not be unreasonably
withheld. The Trust Administrator shall pay any and all fees and expenses of any
Custodian in accordance with each Custodial Agreement. Subject to Article VIII
hereof, the Trust Administrator agrees to comply with the terms of each
Custodial Agreement and to enforce the terms and provisions thereof against the
Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders having an interest in any
Mortgage File held by such Custodian. Each Custodian shall be a depository
institution or trust company subject to supervision by federal or state
authority, shall have combined capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000 and
shall be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which it holds any
Mortgage File. Each Custodial
173
Agreement may be amended only as provided in Section 11.01. In no event shall
the appointment of any Custodian pursuant to a Custodial Agreement diminish the
obligations of the Trust Administrator hereunder.
Section 8.12 Appointment of Office or Agency.
The Trust Administrator will appoint an office or agency in the City of
New York where the Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer
or exchange, and presented for final distribution, and where notices and demands
to or upon the Trust Administrator in respect of the Certificates and this
Agreement may be served. As of the Closing Date, the Trust Administrator
designates its offices located at the office of Trust Administrator's agent,
located at DTC transfer agent services, 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx Xxxx Entrance,

Section 8.13 Representations and Warranties of the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator.
Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator hereby represents and
warrants, severally and not jointly, and with respect to itself only, to the
Master Servicer, the Guarantor and the Depositor and to the Trustee, in the case
of the Trust Administrator, or to the Trust Administrator, in the case of the

existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States.

other instrument to which it is a party or which is applicable to it or
any of its assets.
(iii) it has the full power and authority to enter into and
consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has duly
authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement,
and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement.
(iv) this Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and
delivery by the Master Servicer and the Depositor, constitutes its
valid, legal and binding obligation, enforceable against it in
accordance with the terms hereof, subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium and other laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and (B)
general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

Stated Principal Balance of the Closing Date Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date. The Terminator shall not be entitled to exercise this right, without the
Guarantor's consent, if the distribution of the Termination Price according to
such priorities would result in the Guarantor being required to make a Guarantor
Payment on the applicable Distribution Date. By acceptance of the Residual
Certificates, the Holders of the Residual Certificates agree, in connection with
any termination hereunder, to assign and transfer any amounts in excess of par,
and to the extent received in respect of such termination, to pay any such
amounts to the Holders of the Class C Certificates.
(c) Notice of the liquidation of the REMIC 1A Regular Interests
and REMIC 1B Regular Interests shall be given promptly by the Trust
Administrator by letter to Certificateholders mailed (a) in the event such
notice is given in connection with the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and each
REO Property by the Terminator, not earlier than the 15th day and not later than
the 25th day of the month next preceding the month of the final distribution on
the Certificates or (b) otherwise during the month of such final distribution on
or before the Determination Date in such month, in each case specifying (i) the
Distribution Date upon which the Trust Fund will terminate and final payment in
respect of the REMIC 1A Regular Interests, REMIC 1B Regular Interests and the
related Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of the related
Certificates at the office of the Trust Administrator therein designated, (ii)
the amount of any such final payment, (iii) that no interest shall accrue in
respect of the REMIC 1A Regular Interests, REMIC 1B Regular Interests or the
related Certificates from and after the Accrual Period relating to the final
Distribution Date therefor and (iv) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to
such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Trust
Administrator designated in such notice for purposes of such surrender. In the
event such notice is given in connection with the purchase of all of the
Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC 1A by the Guarantor, the
Guarantor shall deliver to the Trust Administrator for deposit in the
Distribution Account not later than the last Business Day of the month next
preceding the month of the final distribution on the Guaranteed Certificates an
amount in immediately available funds equal to the purchase price described in
Section 1.05. The Trust Administrator shall remit to the Master Servicer from
such funds deposited in the Distribution Account (i) any amounts which the
Master Servicer would be permitted to withdraw and retain from the Collection
Account pursuant to Section 3.11 and (ii) any other amounts otherwise payable by
the Trust Administrator to the Master Servicer from amounts on deposit in the
Distribution Account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, in each case prior
to making any final distributions pursuant to Section 9.01(d) below. Upon
certification to the Trust Administrator by a Servicing Representative of the
making of such final deposit, the Trust Administrator shall promptly release or
cause to be released to the Terminator the Mortgage Files for the remaining
Mortgage Loans, and the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, on behalf of the
Trustee, shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments
necessary to effectuate such transfer.
(d) Upon presentation of the Certificates by the
Certificateholders on the final Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall
distribute to each Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its
Certificates the amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date in
accordance with Section 4.01 in respect of the Certificates so presented and
surrendered. On the final Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator will
withdraw from the Distribution Account and remit to the Guarantor amounts
otherwise payable to the Guarantor on such Distribution Date in
176
accordance with Section 4.01. Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders
of Certificates being retired on such Distribution Date because of the failure
of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be
set aside and held in trust by the Trust Administrator and credited to the
account of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates
as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall not have
been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in
such notice, the Trust Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If
within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have
been surrendered for cancellation, the Trust Administrator shall, directly or
through an agent, mail a final notice to remaining related non-tendering
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and
expenses of maintaining the funds in trust and of contacting such
Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining in the trust funds.
If within one year after the final notice any such Certificates shall not have
been surrendered for cancellation, the Trust Administrator shall pay to Deutsche
Banc Alex. Xxxxx Inc. all such amounts, and all rights of non-tendering
Certificateholders in or to such amounts shall thereupon cease. No interest
shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust
by the Trust Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder's failure to
surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this
Section 9.01.
Immediately following the deposit of funds in trust hereunder in
respect of the Certificates, the Trust Fund shall terminate.

Trustee in a timely manner, and the Trustee shall sign and file in a timely
manner, all of the Tax Returns in respect of each REMIC created hereunder,
copies of which Tax Returns shall be promptly furnished to the NIMS Insurer. The

shall provide on a timely basis to the Trust Administrator or its designee such
information with respect to the assets of the Trust Fund as is in its possession
and reasonably required by the Trustee or the Trust Administrator to enable it
to perform its respective obligations under this Article.
(e) The Trust Administrator shall perform on behalf of each Trust
REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility
of such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other compliance guidance
issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority.
Among its other duties, as required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions or such
other compliance guidance, the Trust Administrator shall provide (i) to any
Transferor of a Residual Certificate (or other person designated in Section
860E(e)(3) of the Code) and to the Internal Revenue Service such information as
is necessary for the computation of any tax relating to the transfer of a
Residual Certificate to any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, (ii) to
the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code
or the REMIC Provisions including reports relating to interest, original issue
discount and market discount or premium (using the Prepayment Assumption as

including, without limitation, the Mortgage Loans, as is in its possession and
reasonably required by the Trust Administrator to enable it to perform its
obligations under this subsection. In addition, the Depositor shall provide or
cause to be provided to the Trust Administrator, within ten (10) days after the
Closing Date, all information or data that the Trust Administrator reasonably
determines to be relevant for tax purposes as to the valuations and issue prices
of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment
assumption and projected cash flow of the Certificates. The Depositor shall also
provide such information or data to the NIMS Insurer.
(f) The Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall take such action
and shall cause each Trust REMIC created hereunder to take such action as shall
be necessary to create or maintain the status thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC
Provisions (and the Master Servicer shall assist the Trust Administrator, to the
extent reasonably requested by the Trust Administrator to do specific actions in
order to assist in the maintenance of such status). Neither the Trustee nor the
Trust Administrator shall take any action, cause the Trust Fund to take any
action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the
REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger
the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a
tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited
transactions set forth in Section 860F(a) of the Code and the tax on
contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such
event, an "Adverse REMIC Event") unless the Trustee, the Trust Administrator,
the NIMS Insurer and the Guarantor have received an Opinion of Counsel,
addressed to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the NIMS Insurer and the
Guarantor (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action but in no
event at the expense of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator) to the effect
that the contemplated action will not, with respect to any Trust REMIC, endanger
such status or
180
result in the imposition of such a tax, nor shall the Master Servicer take or
fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator has advised it in writing that it has
received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could
occur with respect to such action; provided that the Master Servicer may
conclusively rely on such Opinion of Counsel and shall incur no liability for
its action or failure to act in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel. The
Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall deliver to the NIMS Insurer and the
Guarantor a copy of any such advice or opinion. In addition, prior to taking any
action with respect to any Trust REMIC or the assets thereof, or causing any
Trust REMIC to take any action, which is not contemplated under the terms of
this Agreement, the Master Servicer will consult with the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator or its designee, in writing, with respect to whether such action
could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to a Trust REMIC, and
the Master Servicer shall not take any such action or cause any Trust REMIC to
take any such action as to which the Trustee or the Trust Administrator has
advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur; provided that the
Master Servicer may conclusively rely on such writing and shall incur no
liability for its action or failure to act in accordance with such writing. The
Trustee and the Trust Administrator may consult with counsel to make such
written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to take
the action not permitted by this Agreement, but in no event shall such cost be
an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator. At all times as may be
required by the Code, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator will ensure that
substantially all of the assets of both REMIC 1A and REMIC 1B will consist of
"qualified mortgages" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and
"permitted investments" as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.
(g) If any tax is imposed on prohibited transactions of any Trust
REMIC created hereunder pursuant to Section 860F(a) of the Code, on the net
income from foreclosure property of any such REMIC pursuant to Section 860G(c)
of the Code, or on any contributions to any such REMIC after the Startup Day
therefor pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or if any other tax is imposed
by the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws, such tax
shall be charged (i) to the Trust Administrator pursuant to Section 10.03
hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trust
Administrator of any of its obligations under this Article X, (ii) to the
Trustee pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results
from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Article X,
(iii) to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax
arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer of any of its
obligations under Article III or this Article X, or (iv) otherwise against
amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account and shall be paid by withdrawal
therefrom.
(h) On or before April 15 of each calendar year commencing after
the date of this Agreement, the Trust Administrator shall deliver to the Master
Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor and each Rating Agency a
Certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Trust Administrator stating the
Trust Administrator's compliance with this Article X.
(i) The Trust Administrator shall, for federal income tax
purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each Trust REMIC on a
calendar year and on an accrual basis.
(j) Following the Startup Day, neither the Trustee nor the Trust
Administrator shall accept any contributions of assets to any Trust REMIC other
than in connection with any
181
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in accordance with Section 2.03
unless it shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
inclusion of such assets in the Trust Fund will not cause any Trust REMIC to
fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or
subject any Trust REMIC to any tax under the REMIC Provisions or other
applicable provisions of federal, state and local law or ordinances.
(k) None of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Master
Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which any Trust REMIC will receive
a fee or other compensation for services or permit any Trust REMIC to receive
any income from assets other than "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code or "permitted investments" as defined in Section
860G(a)(5) of the Code.
Section 10.02 Prohibited Transactions and Activities.
None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or
the Trustee shall sell, dispose of or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans
(except in connection with (i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, including but
not limited to, the acquisition or sale of a Mortgaged Property acquired by deed
in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of REMIC 1A or REMIC 1B, (iii) the

contributions to any Trust REMIC after the Closing Date (other than a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in accordance with Section 2.03), unless it,
the NIMS Insurer and the Guarantor have received an Opinion of Counsel,
addressed to the Trust Administrator, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the
Guarantor (at the expense of the party seeking to cause such sale, disposition,
substitution, acquisition or contribution but in no event at the expense of the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator) that such sale, disposition, substitution,
acquisition or contribution will not (a) affect adversely the status of any
Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (b) cause any Trust REMIC to be subject to a tax on
"prohibited transactions" or "contributions" pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

(i) to cure any ambiguity or defect, (ii) to correct, modify or supplement any
provisions herein (including to give effect to the expectations of
Certificateholders), or in any Custodial Agreement, (iii) to modify, eliminate
or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or
desirable to maintain the qualification of the Trust Fund as a REMIC at all
times that any Certificate is outstanding or to avoid or minimize the risk of

claim against the Trust Fund, provided that the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor, the Depositor and the Master
Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (A) such action
is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize
the risk of the imposition of any such tax and (B) such action will not
adversely affect the status of the Trust Fund as a REMIC or adversely affect in
any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder or (iv) to make any
other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this
Agreement or in any Custodial Agreement which shall not be inconsistent with the
provisions of this Agreement or such Custodial Agreement, provided that, in each
case, such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to
the parties hereto and the NIMS Insurer, adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of any Certificateholder and, provided, further, that (A)
such action will not affect in any material respect the permitted activities of
the Trust and (B) such action will not increase in any material respect the
degree of discretion which the Master Servicer is allowed to exercise in
servicing the Mortgage Loans. No amendment shall be deemed to adversely affect
in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder who shall have

effect of any such amendment on any such consenting Certificateholder.
This Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time

Administrator, the Guarantor and, if
183
applicable, the Custodian, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, and with the
consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting
Rights, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or any Custodial Agreement
or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates;
provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the
amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are
required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder
of such Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any material respect the interests
of the Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner, other than as described

modify the consents required by the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii)
without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates then outstanding.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for purposes of the
giving or withholding of consents pursuant to this Section 11.01, Certificates
registered in the name of the Depositor or the Master Servicer or any Affiliate
thereof shall be entitled to Voting Rights with respect to matters affecting

the Trust Administrator, the NIMS Insurer and the Guarantor shall be entitled to
receive an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment will not result
in the imposition of any tax on any Trust REMIC pursuant to the REMIC Provisions
or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificates are outstanding.
Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trust
Administrator shall furnish a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder
and the NIMS Insurer.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under
this Section 11.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but
it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The
manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee or the Trust Administrator may prescribe.
The cost of any Opinion of Counsel to be delivered pursuant to this
Section 11.01 shall be borne by the Person seeking the related amendment, but in
no event shall such Opinion of Counsel be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator.
Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator may, but shall not be

Certificateholders
184
accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recordation

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 together constitute but

otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto
or any of them.
Except as expressly provided for herein, no Certificateholder shall
have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation and
management of the Trust, or the obligations of the parties hereto, 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 person by reason of any action taken by the parties
to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of

However, in the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the
parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Depositor, then, (a)
it is the express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge
of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other
obligation of the Depositor and (b)(1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be
a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform
Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York; (2) the
conveyance provided for in Section 2.01 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by
the Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the Depositor's
right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable
to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and
all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into
cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation
all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested
in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account, whether in the form of
cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the obligations secured by
such security agreement shall be deemed to be all of the Depositor's obligations
under this Agreement, including the obligation to provide to the
Certificateholders the benefits of this Agreement relating to the Mortgage Loans
and the Trust Fund; and (4) notifications to persons holding such property, and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property,
shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee
for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.
Accordingly, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a security interest in
the Mortgage Loans and all other property described in clause (2) of the
preceding sentence, for the purpose of securing to the Trustee the performance
by the Depositor
188
of the obligations described in clause (3) of the preceding sentence.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto intend the conveyance pursuant
to Section 2.01 to be a true, absolute and unconditional sale of the Mortgage
Loans and assets constituting the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and

rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on

Agreement. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like
manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the

Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the
same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in denomi-nations 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 Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Guarantor, the NIMs Insurer and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the

the Trust Administrator, the Guarantor, the NIMs Insurer, the Trustee nor any
such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
On any Distribution Date following the date at which the remaining

Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, the Master
Servicer or NIMs Insurer may purchase, in whole, from the Trust the Mortgage

MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This is a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement"), dated
March ___, 2002, between Long Beach Securities Corp., a Delaware corporation
(the "Purchaser") and Long Beach Mortgage Company, a Delaware corporation (the
"Seller").
Preliminary Statement
The Seller intends to sell the Mortgage Loans (as hereinafter defined)
to the Purchaser on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement. The Purchaser intends to deposit the Mortgage Loans into a mortgage
pool constituting the trust fund. The trust fund will be evidenced by fixed rate
and adjustable rate asset backed certificates designated as Long Beach Mortgage
Loan Trust Series 2002-1, Asset-Backed Certificates 2002-1 (the "Certificates").
The Certificates will consist of seventeen classes of certificates. The
Certificates will be issued pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated
as of April 1, 2002 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), among the
Purchaser, as depositor, First Union National Bank, as trustee (the "Trustee"),
Bankers Trust Company of California, N.A. as trust administrator (the "Trust
Administrator"), Xxxxxx Xxx, as guarantor with respect to the Class I-A
Certificates and the Class I-S Certificates (the "Guarantor"), and the Seller,
as master servicer (in such capacity, the "Master Servicer"). Capitalized terms
used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
The parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Agreement to Purchase.
The Seller agrees to sell, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase, on or
before April ___, 2001 (the "Closing Date"), certain fixed-rate and
adjustable-rate conventional residential mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans"),
having an aggregate principal balance as of the close of business on April ___,
2001 (the "Cut-off Date") of approximately $____________ after giving effect to
all payments due on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date, whether or
not received.
SECTION 2. Mortgage Loan Schedule.
The Purchaser and the Seller have agreed upon which of the mortgage
loans owned by the Seller are to be purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to this
Agreement on the Closing Date and the Seller will prepare or cause to be
prepared on or prior to the Closing Date a final schedule (the "Closing
Schedule") that shall describe such Mortgage Loans and set forth all of the
Mortgage Loans to be purchased under this Agreement. The Closing Schedule will
conform to the requirements set forth in this Agreement and to the definition of
"Mortgage Loan Schedule" under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Closing
Schedule shall be used as the Mortgage Loan Schedule under the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
C-1
SECTION 3. Consideration.
In consideration for the Mortgage Loans to be purchased hereunder, the
Purchaser shall on the Closing Date, as described in Section 8 hereof, (i) pay
to or upon the order of the Seller in immediately available funds an amount (the
"Purchase Price") equal to the net sale proceeds of the Class A Certificates,
the Class S Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates and (ii) deliver to Long
Beach Asset Holdings Corp. upon the order of the Seller the Class C
Certificates, the Class P Certificates and the Class R Certificates (the "Long
Beach Certificates").
The Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser
shall be entitled to all scheduled payments of principal due after the Cut-off
Date, all other payments of principal due and collected after the Cut-off Date,
and all payments of interest on the Mortgage Loans allocable to the period after
the Cut-off Date. All scheduled payments of principal and interest due on or
before the Cut-off Date and collected after the Cut-off Date shall belong to the
Seller.
Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Purchaser will
transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Trustee without recourse
for the benefit of the Certificateholders, all the right, title and interest of
the Purchaser in and to the Mortgage Loans (other than Sections 17 and 18
hereof), together with its rights under this Agreement.
SECTION 4. Transfer of the Mortgage Loans.
(a) Possession of Mortgage Files. The Seller does hereby sell,
transfer, assign, set over and convey to the Purchaser, without recourse but
subject to the terms of this Agreement, all of its right, title and interest in,
to and under the Mortgage Loans. The contents of each Mortgage File not
delivered to the Purchaser or to any assignee, transferee or designee of the
Purchaser on or prior to the Closing Date are and shall be held in trust by the
Seller for the benefit of the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee
of the Purchaser and promptly transferred to the Trustee. Upon the sale of the
Mortgage Loans the ownership of each Mortgage Note, the related Mortgage and the
other contents of the related Mortgage File is vested in the Purchaser and the
ownership of all records and documents with respect to the related Mortgage Loan
prepared by or that come into the possession of the Seller on or after the
Closing Date shall immediately vest in the Purchaser and shall be delivered
promptly to the Purchaser or as otherwise directed by the Purchaser. All amounts
received by the Seller after the Cut-off Date but prior to the date hereof with
respect to the Mortgage Loans, to which amounts the Seller is not entitled, will
be deposited into the Collection Account within one Business Day after the
Closing Date;
(b) Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents. The Seller will, on or prior
to the Closing Date, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser or any
assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser each of the following
documents for each Mortgage Loan:
(i) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed in blank or in the
following form: "Pay to the order of Bankers Trust Company of
California, N.A. as Trustee under the applicable agreement, without
recourse," with all prior and
C-2
intervening endorsements, showing a complete chain of endorsement from
the originator to the Person so endorsing to the Trustee or (in the
case of not more than 1.00% of the Mortgage Loans, by aggregate
principal balance as of the Cut-off Date) a copy of such original
Mortgage Note with an accompanying Lost Note Affidavit executed by the
Seller;
(ii) the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon,
and a copy, certified by the appropriate recording office, of the
recorded power of attorney, if the Mortgage was executed pursuant to a
power of attorney, with evidence of recording thereon;
(iii) an original Assignment executed in blank;
(iv) the original Assignment or Assignments showing a complete
chain of assignment from the originator to the Person assigning the
Mortgage to the Trustee or in blank;
(v) the original or copies of each assumption, modification,
written assurance or substitution agreement, if any; and
(vi) the original lender's title insurance policy, together with
all endorsements or riders issued with or subsequent to the issuance
of such policy, insuring the priority of the Mortgage as a first lien
or second lien on the Mortgaged Property represented therein as a fee
interest vested in the Mortgagor, or in the event such original title
policy is unavailable, a written commitment or uniform binder or
preliminary report of the title issued by the title insurance or
escrow company.
The Seller shall promptly (and in no event later than thirty (30)
Business Days, subject to extension upon a mutual agreement between the Seller
and the Purchaser), following the later of the Closing Date and the date of
receipt by the Seller of the recording information for a Mortgage, submit or
cause to be submitted for recording, at no expense to the Purchaser, in the
appropriate public office for real property records, each Assignment referred to
in (iii) and (iv) above and shall execute each original Assignment referred to
in clause (iii) above in the following form: "Bankers Trust Company of
California, N.A., as Trustee under the applicable agreement, without recourse."
In the event that any such Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of
a defect therein, the Seller shall promptly prepare or cause to be prepared a
substitute Assignment or cure or cause to be cured such defect, as the case may
be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly recorded.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for administrative convenience and facilitation
of servicing and to reduce closing costs, the Assignments shall not be required
to be completed and submitted for recording with respect to any Mortgage Loan if
either (x) the Trustee, the Guarantor and each Rating Agency has received an
opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, the Guarantor and
each Rating Agency, to the effect that the recordation of such Assignments in
any specific jurisdiction is not necessary to protect the Trust's interest in
the related Mortgage Note, or (y) each Rating Agency shall have determined that
no such opinion is required for such Rating Agency to assign the initial ratings
to the Class A Certificates, the Class S Certificates, the Mezzanine
Certificates and the NIMS Notes; provided, however, that notwithstanding the
C-3
delivery of any opinion of counsel, each Assignment shall be submitted for
recording by the Seller, in the manner described above, at no expense to the
Trust Fund or the Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of: (i) reasonable
direction by Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting
Rights, (ii) the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default, (iii) the
occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Seller,
(iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (v) if the Seller is not the Master Servicer
and with respect to any one Assignment, the occurrence of a bankruptcy,
insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage.
If any document referred to in Section 4(b)(ii), Section 4(b)(iii) or
Section 4(b)(iv) above has as of the Closing Date been submitted for recording
but either (x) has not been returned from the applicable public recording office
or (y) has been lost or such public recording office has retained the original
of such document, the obligations of the Seller to deliver such documents shall
be deemed to be satisfied upon (1) delivery to the Purchaser of a copy of each
such document certified by the Seller in the case of (x) above or the applicable
public recording office in the case of (y) above to be a true and complete copy
of the original that was submitted for recording and (2) if such copy is
certified by the Seller, delivery to the Purchaser upon receipt thereof, and in
any event no later than one year after the Closing Date, of either the original
or a copy of such document certified by the applicable public recording office
to be a true and complete copy of the original. If the original lender's title
insurance policy was not delivered pursuant to Section 4(b)(vi) above, the
Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser or any assignee,
transferee or designee of the Purchaser promptly after receipt thereof, and in
any event within 120 days after the Closing Date, the original lender's title
insurance policy. The Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser promptly upon
receipt thereof any other original documents constituting a part of a Mortgage
File received with respect to any Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to,
any original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of any Mortgage
Loan.
Each original document relating to a Mortgage Loan which is not
delivered to the Purchaser or its assignee, transferee or designee, if held by
the Seller, shall be so held for the benefit of the Purchaser or its assignee,
transferee or designee. In the event that any such original document is required
pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, such
document shall be delivered promptly to the Trustee.
(c) Acceptance of Mortgage Loans. The documents delivered pursuant to
Section 4(b) hereof shall be reviewed by the Purchaser or any assignee,
transferee or designee of the Purchaser at any time before, on and after the
Closing Date (and with respect to each document permitted to be delivered after
the Closing Date within seven days of its delivery) to ascertain that all
required documents have been executed and received and that such documents
relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.
(d) Transfer of Interest in Agreements. The Purchaser has the right to
assign its interest under this Agreement (other than Sections 17 and 18 hereof),
in whole or in part, to the Trustee, as may be required to effect the purposes
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of the Seller, and
the Trustee shall succeed to the rights and obligations
C-4
hereunder of the Purchaser. Any expense reasonably incurred by or on behalf of
the Purchaser or the Trustee in connection with enforcing any obligations of the
Seller under this Agreement will be promptly reimbursed by the Seller.
(e) Examination of Mortgage Files. Prior to the Closing Date, the
Seller shall either (i) deliver in escrow to the Purchaser or to any assignee,
transferee or designee of the Purchaser, for examination, the Mortgage File
pertaining to each Mortgage Loan, or (ii) make such Mortgage Files available to
the Purchaser or to any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser for
examination. Such examination may be made by the Purchaser or the Trustee, and
their respective designees, upon reasonable notice to the Seller during normal
business hours at any time before or after the Closing Date. If any such person
makes such examination prior to the Closing Date and identifies any Mortgage
Loans with respect to which the Seller's representations and warranties
contained in this Agreement are not correct, such Mortgage Loans shall be
deleted from the Closing Schedule. The Purchaser may, at its option and without
notice to the Seller, purchase all or part of the Mortgage Loans without
conducting any partial or complete examination. The fact that the Purchaser or
any person has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete
examination of the Mortgage Files shall not affect the rights of the Purchaser
or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser to demand repurchase or
other relief as provided herein or under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 6. Representations and Warranties of the Seller Relating to the
Individual Mortgage Loans.
The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser, that as of
the Closing Date:
(i) The information set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule with
respect to each Mortgage Loan is complete, true and correct in all
material respects as of the Cut-off Date, unless another date is set
forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule;
C-7
(ii) The Mortgage Loans are in compliance with the
characteristics of the Mortgage Loans as set forth on Exhibit 1;

second lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all improvements
thereon, subject only to (a) the lien of non-delinquent current real
property taxes and assessments, (b) covenants, conditions and
restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public
record as of the date of recording of such Mortgage, such exceptions
appearing of record being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions
generally or specifically reflected in the appraisal made in
connection with the origination of the related Mortgage Loan and which
do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended
to be provided by such Mortgage, (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
and (d) in the case of a second lien, only to a first lien on such
Mortgaged Property;
(v) Immediately prior to the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to
the Purchaser, the Seller had good title to, and was the sole legal
and beneficial owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any
pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest and has full right and
authority, subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement
with, any other party to sell and assign the same. The form of
endorsement of each Mortgage Note satisfied the requirement, if any,
of endorsement in order to transfer all right, title and interest of
the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to
that Mortgage Note; and each Assignment to be delivered hereunder is
in recordable form and is sufficient to effect the assignment of and
to transfer to the assignee thereunder the benefits of the assignor,
as mortgagee or assignee thereof, under each Mortgage to which that
Assignment relates;
(vi) To the best of the Seller's knowledge, there is no
delinquent tax or assessment lien against any Mortgaged Property;
(vii) There is no valid offset, defense or counterclaim to any
Mortgage Note or Mortgage, including the obligation of the Mortgagor
to pay the unpaid principal of or interest on such Mortgage Note, nor
will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the
Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage
Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to
any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including
the defense of usury and no such right of rescission, set-off,
counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto;
(viii) To the best of the Seller's knowledge, there are no
mechanics' liens or claims for work, labor or material affecting any
Mortgaged Property which are or may be a lien prior to, or equal with,
the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are insured
against by the title insurance policy referred to in (xii) below;
C-8
(ix) To the best of the Seller's knowledge, each Mortgaged
Property is free of material damage and is at least in average repair;
(x) Each Mortgage Loan at origination complied in all material
respects with applicable local, state and federal laws, including,
without limitation, usury, equal credit opportunity, real estate
settlement procedures, truth-in-lending and disclosure laws, and
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including
without limitation the receipt of interest does not involve the
violation of any such laws;
(xi) Neither the Seller nor any prior holder of any Mortgage has
modified the Mortgage in any material respect, satisfied, canceled 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 (except that a Mortgage Loan may
have been modified by a written instrument signed by the Seller or a
prior holder of the Mortage Loan which has been recorded, if
necessary, to protect the interests of the Seller and the Purchaser
and which has been delivered to the Purchaser or any assignee,
transferee or designee of the Purchaser as part of the Mortgage File,
and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule);
(xii) A lender's policy of title insurance together with a
condominium endorsement and extended coverage endorsement, if
applicable, and, with respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan,
an adjustable rate mortgage endorsement in an amount at least equal to
the balance of the Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date, or a
commitment (binder) to issue the same was effective on the date of the
origination of each Mortgage Loan, each such policy is valid and
remains in full force and effect, the transfer of the related Mortgage
Loan to the Purchaser and Trustee does not affect the validity or
enforceability of such policy and each such policy was issued by a
generally acceptable title insurer qualified to do business in the
jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located which policy
insures the Seller and successor owners of indebtedness secured by the
insured Mortgage, as to the first or second, as the case may be,
priority lien of the Mortgage; to the best of the Seller's knowledge,
no claims have been made under such mortgage title insurance policy
and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the Seller, has
done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of
such mortgage title insurance policy;
(xiii) Each Mortgage Loan was originated by the Seller (or, if
generated on behalf of the Seller by a Person other than the Seller,
is subject to the same standards and procedures used by the Seller in
originating mortgage loans directly) or by a savings and loan
association, savings bank, commercial bank, credit union, insurance
company or similar institution which is supervised and examined by a
federal or state authority, or by a mortgagee approved by the
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203
and 211 of the National Housing Act;
(xiv) With respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan on each
Adjustment Date, the Mortgage Rate will be adjusted to equal the Index
plus the Gross Margin, rounded to the nearest 0.125%, subject to the
Periodic Rate Cap, the Maximum
C-9
Mortgage Rate and the Minimum Mortgage Rate. The related Mortgage Note
is payable on the first day of each month in self-amortizing monthly
installments of principal and interest, with interest payable in
arrears, and requires a Monthly Payment which is sufficient to fully
amortize the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan over
its remaining term and to pay interest at the applicable Mortgage
Rate. No Mortgage Loan is subject to negative amortization. All rate
adjustments have been performed in accordance with the terms of the
related Mortgage Note or subsequent modifications, if any;
(xv) To the best of the Seller's knowledge, all of the
improvements which were included for the purpose of determining the
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;
(xvi) All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be
made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged
Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same,
including but not limited to certificates of occupancy, have been made
or obtained from the appropriate authorities and to the best of the
Seller's knowledge, the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under
applicable law;
(xvii) All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage,
whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during
the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) in
compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the
laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located;
(xviii) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine,
and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Mortgagor
enforceable against the Mortgagor by the mortgagee or its
representative in accordance with its terms, except only as such
enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally and by law. To the best of the Seller's
knowledge, all parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had full
legal capacity to execute all Mortgage Loan documents and to convey
the estate purported to be conveyed by the Mortgage and each Mortgage
Note and Mortgage have been duly and validly executed by such parties;
(xix) The proceeds of each Mortgage Loan have been fully
disbursed, there is no requirement for future advances thereunder and
any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site
improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have
been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making,
closing or recording the Mortgage Loans were paid;
(xx) The related Mortgage contains customary and enforceable
provisions which render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof
adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the
benefits of the security, including, (i)
C-10
in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's
sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. There is no
homestead or other exemption available to the Mortgagor which would
interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's
sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage;
(xxi) With respect to each Mortgage constituting a deed of trust,
a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has
been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in such
Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the
Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection
with a trustee's sale after default by the Mortgagor;
(xxii) There exist no deficiencies with respect to escrow
deposits and payments, if such are required, for which customary
arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made, and no escrow
deposits or payments of other charges or payments due the Seller have

other contingent interest feature;

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

the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as

Property with a generally acceptable carrier in an amount representing
coverage not less than the least of (A) the original outstanding
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (B) the minimum amount
required to compensate for damage or loss on a replacement cost basis
or (C) the maximum amount of insurance that is available under the

acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note;
and neither the Seller nor any other entity involved in originating or
servicing the Mortgage Loan has waived any default, breach, violation
or event of acceleration;
(xxx) Each Mortgaged Property is improved by a one- to
four-family residential dwelling, including condominium units and
dwelling units in planned unit developments, which, to the best of the
Seller's knowledge, does not include cooperatives and does not
constitute property other than real property under state law. Each
manufactured housing constituting any portion of any Mortgaged
Property is a "single family residence" as defined in Section
25(e)(10) of the Code;
(xxxi) There is no obligation on the part of the Seller or any
other party under the terms of the Mortgage or related Mortgage Note
to make payments in addition to those made by the Mortgagor;
(xxxii) Any future advances made prior to the Cut-off Date have
been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the

the Seller's underwriting guidelines as described in the Prospectus
Supplement as applicable to its credit grade;

(xxxvii) Each Mortgage contains an enforceable provision for the
acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the
Mortgage Loan in the event that the Mortgaged Property is sold or
transferred without the prior written consent of the mortgagee
thereunder;
(xxxviii)To the best of the Seller's knowledge no
misrepresentation, negligence, fraud or similar occurrence with
respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any person,
including, without limitation, the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any
builder or developer, or any other party involved in the origination
of the Mortgage Loan or in the application of any insurance in
relation to such Mortgage Loan;
(xxxix) Each Mortgage Loan constitutes a "qualified mortgage"
within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code;
(xl) The information set forth in the Prepayment Charge Schedule
is complete, true and correct in all material respects at the date or
dates respecting with such information is furnished and each
Prepayment Charge is permissible and enforceable in accordance with
its terms upon the Mortgagor's full and voluntary Principal Prepayment
(except to the extent that: (1) the enforceability thereof may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other
similar laws relating to creditors' rights generally; (2) the
collectability thereof may be limited due to acceleration in

not subject to the bulk transfer or any similar statutory provisions
in effect in any relevant jurisdiction, except any as may have been

which previously became due and owing have been paid, or (2) an escrow
of funds has been established in an amount
C-13
sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which
has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. Except for payments
in the nature of escrow payments, including without limitation, taxes
and insurance payments, the Seller has not advanced funds, or induced,
solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other
than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any

one month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and

SECTION 7. Repurchase Obligation for Defective Documentation and for
Breach of Representation and Warranty.
(a) The representations and warranties contained in Section 5 (ix) and
Section 6 shall not be impaired by any review and examination of loan files or
other documents evidencing or relating to the Mortgage Loans or any failure on
the part of the Seller or the Purchaser to review or examine such documents and
shall inure to the benefit of any assignee, transferee or designee of the
Purchaser, including the Trustee for the benefit of holders of asset-backed
certificates evidencing an interest in all or a portion of the Mortgage Loans.
Upon discovery by the Seller, the Guarantor the Purchaser or any
assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser of any materially defective
document in, or that any material document was not transferred by the Seller (as
listed on the Trustee's initial certification), as part of, any Mortgage File or
of a breach of any of the representations and warranties contained in Section 5
or Section 6 that materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage
Loan or the interest of the Purchaser, the Guarantor or the Purchaser's
assignee, transferee or designee in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering the
breach shall give prompt written notice to the others. Within ninety (90) days
of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such missing documentation
which was not transferred to the Purchaser as described above or materially
defective documentation or any such breach of a representation
C-14
and warranty, the Seller promptly shall deliver such missing document or cure
such defect or breach in all material respects, or in the event the Seller
cannot deliver such missing document or such defect or breach cannot be cured,
the Seller shall, within 90 days of its discovery or receipt of notice, either
(i) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan at a price equal to the Purchase Price
(as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) or (ii) pursuant to the
provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, cause the removal of such
Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund and substitute one or more Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that in the case of a breach of
the representation and warranty concerning the Mortgage Loan Schedule contained
in Section 6(i), if such breach relates to any field on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule which identifies any Prepayment Charge and such Prepayment Charge has
been triggered pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Note, then in lieu
of purchasing such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price (as
defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Seller shall pay the amount
of the incorrectly identified Prepayment Charge (net of any amount previously
collected by or paid to the Trust Fund in respect of such Prepayment Charge),
and the Seller shall have no obligation to repurchase or substitute for such
Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall amend the Closing Schedule to reflect the
withdrawal of such Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the addition, if any, of a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser such amended
Closing Schedule and shall deliver such other documents as are required by this
Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement within five (5) days of any
such amendment. Any repurchase pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall be
accomplished by deposit in the Collection Account of the amount of the Purchase
Price (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) in accordance with
Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any repurchase or
substitution required by this Section shall be made in a manner consistent with
Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any remedy by the Seller
for a breach of a representation or warranty that materially and adversely
affects the value of any Prepayment Charge shall be made in a manner consistent
with Section 2.03(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(b) It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set
forth in this Section 7 to cure, repurchase or substitute for a defective
Mortgage Loan constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser against the Seller
respecting a missing or defective document or a breach of the representations
and warranties contained in Section 5 or Section 6.

The closing of the purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans shall be

The Purchaser's obligation to close the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement shall be subject to each of the following conditions:

C-17
SECTION 12. Mandatory Delivery; Grant of Security Interest.
The sale and delivery on the Closing Date of the Mortgage Loans
described on the Mortgage Loan Schedule in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement is mandatory. It is specifically understood and
agreed that each Mortgage Loan is unique and identifiable on the date hereof and
that an award of money damages would be insufficient to compensate the Purchaser
for the losses and damages incurred by the Purchaser in the event of the
Seller's failure to deliver the Mortgage Loans on or before the Closing Date.
The Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a lien on and a continuing security
interest in the Seller's interest in each Mortgage Loan and each document and
instrument evidencing each such Mortgage Loan to secure the performance by the
Seller of its obligation hereunder, and the Seller agrees that it holds such
Mortgage Loans in custody for the Purchaser, subject to (i) the Purchaser's
right, prior to the Closing Date, to reject any Mortgage Loan to the extent
permitted by this Agreement and (ii) the Purchaser's obligation to deliver or
cause to be delivered the consideration for the Mortgage Loans pursuant to
Section 8 hereof. Any Mortgage Loans rejected by the Purchaser shall
concurrently therewith be automatically released from the security interest
created hereby. The Seller agrees that, upon acceptance of the Mortgage Loans by
the Purchaser or its designee and delivery of payment to the Seller, that its
security interest in the Mortgage Loans shall be released. All rights and
remedies of the Purchaser under this Agreement are distinct from, and cumulative
with, any other rights or remedies under this Agreement or afforded by law or
equity and all such rights and remedies may be exercised concurrently,
independently or successively.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the Closing Date, each of the
conditions set forth in Section 8 hereof shall have been satisfied and the
Purchaser shall not have paid or caused to be paid the Purchase Price or shall
not have delivered or caused to be delivered the Long Beach Certificates to Long
Beach Asset Holding Corp., or any such condition shall not have been waived or
satisfied and the Purchaser determines not to pay or cause to be paid the
Purchase Price or not to deliver or cause to be delivered the Long Beach
Certificates to Long Beach Asset Holding Corp, the Purchaser shall immediately
effect the re-delivery of the Mortgage Loans, if delivery to the Purchaser has
occurred and the security interest created by this Section 12 shall be deemed to
have been released.
SECTION 13. Notices.
All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing
and shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered to or mailed
by registered mail, postage prepaid, or transmitted by telex or telegraph and
confirmed by a similar mailed writing, if to the Purchaser, addressed to the
Purchaser at 0000 Xxxx & Xxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000,
Attention: General Counsel, or such other address as may hereafter be furnished
to the Seller in writing by the Purchaser; if to the Seller, addressed to the
Seller at 0000 Xxxx & Xxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000,

in writing to the Purchaser.

SECTION 14. Severability of Provisions.
Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which
is prohibited or which is held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of
this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits
or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof.
SECTION 15. Agreement of Parties.
The Seller and the Purchaser each agree to execute and deliver such
instruments (including UCC financing statements and continuation statements) and
take such actions as either of the others may, from time to time, reasonably
request in order to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the terms of this
Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 16. Survival.
The Seller agrees that the representations, warranties and agreements
made by it herein and in any certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant
hereto shall be deemed to be relied upon by the Purchaser and its successors and
assigns, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by the
Purchaser or on its behalf, and that the representations, warranties and
agreements made by the Seller herein or in any such certificate or other
instrument shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Mortgage Loans and
shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding any restrictive or
qualified endorsement on the Mortgage Notes and notwithstanding subsequent
termination of this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Trust
Fund.
SECTION 17. Indemnification, Representative.
(a) The Seller will indemnify and hold harmless each of (i) the
Purchaser and (ii) each person, if any, who controls the Purchaser within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act")
or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act") ((i) and
(ii) together, the "Indemnified Party") against any and all losses, claims,
expenses, damages or liabilities, to which the Indemnified Party may become
subject, under the 1933 Act or otherwise, and will reimburse each Indemnified
Party for any legal or other expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, expenses,
damage, liability or action insofar as such losses, claims, expenses, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in
the Prospectus Supplement dated April ___, 2001 (the "Prospectus Supplement"),
as amended or supplemented, relating to the public offering of the Class A-2
Certificates, the Class S-2 Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates,
representing interests in the Mortgage Loans, or in
C-19
any other offering document (the "Private Placement Memorandum") relating to the
offering by the Purchaser or an affiliate thereof, of the Class C, Class P and
Class R Certificates, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not
misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made
in reliance upon and in conformity with (i) information furnished in writing to
the Purchaser or any of its affiliates by the Seller specifically for use
therein, which shall include, with respect to the Prospectus Supplement, the
information set forth under the captions "Summary of Terms--Mortgage Loans,"
"Risk Factors" (but only to the extent that the information under "Risk Factors"
has been furnished by the Seller), "The Mortgage Pool" and "Long Beach Mortgage
Company" and, with respect to any Private Placement Memorandum, any information
of a comparable nature, (ii) the data files containing information with respect
to the Mortgage Loans as transmitted electronically to the Purchaser by the
Seller or any of its affiliates (as such transmitted information may have been
amended in writing by the Seller or any of its affiliates and received by the
Purchaser subsequent to transmission) specifically for use therein, which shall
include, with respect to the Prospectus Supplement, the information set forth
under the captions "Summary of Terms--Mortgage Loans," "Risk Factors" (but only
to the extent that the information under "Risk Factors" has been furnished by
the Seller) and "The Mortgage Pool" and, with respect to any Private Placement
Memorandum, any information of a comparable nature or (iii) any representation,
warranty or covenant made by the Seller or any affiliate of the Seller in this
Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, on which the Indemnified
Party has relied ((i) through (iii) collectively "Seller Information"), provided
however, that to the extent that any such losses, claims, expenses, damages or
liabilities to which the Indemnified Party may become subject arise out of or
are based upon both (1) statements, omissions, representations, warranties or
covenants of the Seller described above and (2) any other factual basis, the
Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Party only to the
extent that the losses, claims expenses, damages or liabilities of the person or
persons asserting the claim are determined to arise from or be based only upon
matters set forth in clause (1) above. The Seller's liability under this Section
17 shall be in addition to any other liability the Seller may otherwise have.
(b) The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller, its
officers and its directors, and each person who controls the Seller within the
meaning of either the 1933 Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become subject under the 1933
Act, or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus
Supplement, the prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum, or in any revision
or amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon
the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any untrue statement or
omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon
and in conformity with the Seller's Information and will reimburse the Seller
and any controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
by such Seller and any controlling person in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, damage,
C-20
liability or action. The Purchaser's liability under this Section 17 shall be in
addition to any other liability the Purchaser may otherwise have.
(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation)
shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be
sought pursuant to either Section 17(a) or 17(b) above, such person (the
"indemnified party") shall promptly notify the person against whom such
indemnity may be sought (the "indemnifying party") in writing and the
indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified
party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and
shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such
proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right
to retain its own counsel, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying
party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of
such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any
impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party
and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate
due to actual or potential differing interests between them or (iii) the
indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such action and employ
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. It is understood that
the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related
proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and
expenses of more than one separate firm for all such indemnified parties. Such
firm shall be designated in writing by the Purchaser, in the case of parties
indemnified pursuant to clause 17(a) and by the Seller, in the case of parties
indemnified pursuant to clause 17(b). The indemnifying party may, at its option,
at any time upon written notice to the indemnified party, assume the defense of
any proceeding and may designate counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party
in connection therewith provided that the counsel so designated would have no
actual or potential conflict of interest in connection with such representation.
Unless it shall assume the defense of any proceeding, the indemnifying party
shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its
written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final
judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the
indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such
settlement or judgment. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of any
proceeding, it shall be entitled to settle such proceeding with the prior
written consent of the indemnified party or, if (i) such settlement does not
include a statement as to, or on admission of fault, culpability or failure to
act by or on behalf of the indemnified party and (ii) such settlement provides
for an unconditional release of the indemnified party in connection with all
matters relating to the proceeding which have been asserted against the
indemnified party in such proceeding by the other parties to such settlement,
without the prior written consent of the indemnified party.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 17 is
unavailable to an indemnified party under Section 17(a) or 17(b) hereof or
insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred
to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such
indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
indemnified and indemnifying parties in connection with the statements or
omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or
C-21
liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative fault of the indemnified and indemnifying parties shall be determined
by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact relates to information supplied by such parties and the parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission.
(e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) of this
Section 17 is due in accordance with its terms but is for any reason held by a
court to be unavailable from the Seller on grounds of policy or otherwise, the
Seller on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other hand shall contribute to
the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal and other
expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same)
(collectively, "Losses") to which the Seller on the one hand and the Purchaser
on the other hand may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
the relative benefits received by the Seller on the one hand and the Purchaser
on the other hand from the sale of the Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that
in no case shall the Purchaser be responsible for any amount in excess of ____%
of the aggregate initial principal balance of the Mortgage Loans. If the
allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any
reason, the Seller on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other hand shall
contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such
relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Seller on the one hand and
the Purchaser on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions
that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. Benefits received by the Seller shall be deemed to be equal to
the total net proceeds from the sale (before deducting expenses) plus the value
of all Certificates retained by the Seller or one of its affiliates and benefits
received by the Purchaser shall be deemed to be equal to ____% of the aggregate
initial principal balance of the Mortgage Loans. Relative fault shall be
determined by reference to whether any alleged untrue statement or omission
relates to the information provided by the Seller on the one hand or the
Purchaser on the other hand. The Seller and the Purchaser agree that it would
not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation
or any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
subsection (e) the Representative shall not be required to contribute any amount
in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the related Offered
Certificates (as defined in the Prospectus Supplement) underwritten by it and
distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any
damages which such Representative has otherwise been required to pay by reason
of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No
person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this
Section 17, each person, if any, who controls the Purchaser within the meaning
of the Securities Act or the 1934 Act and each director, officer, employee and
agent of the Purchaser shall have the same rights to contribution as the
Purchaser, and each person, if any, who controls the Seller within the meaning
of either the Securities Act or the 1934 Act and each director of the Seller
shall have the same rights to contribution as the Seller, subject in each case
to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph 17(e).
C-22
(f) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section
17 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any
termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by the Purchaser or
any person controlling the Purchaser or by or on behalf of the Seller and their
respective directors or officers or any person controlling the Seller, and (iii)
acceptance of and payment for any of the Certificates.
SECTION 18. Indemnification, Guarantor.
(a) [reserved]
SECTION 19. GOVERNING LAW.
THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS, DUTIES, OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF
LAW PRINCIPLES. THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND THAT THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5-1401
OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL APPLY TO THIS AGREEMENT.
SECTION 20. Miscellaneous.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns. This Agreement supersedes all prior
agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. Neither
this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or
terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party
against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is
sought. The headings in this Agreement are for purposes of reference only and
shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of
the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser as provided in Section 4
hereof be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to
the Purchaser and not as a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the
Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in the
event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the
Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Seller, then, (a) it is the
express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the
Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other
obligation of the Seller and (b) (1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a
security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York
Uniform Commercial Code; (2) the conveyance provided for in Section 4 hereof
shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a security
interest in all of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage
Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance
with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or
involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other
property, including without limitation all amounts, other than investment
earnings, from time to time
C-23
held or invested in the Collection Account whether in the form of cash,
instruments, securities or other property; (3) the possession by the Purchaser
or its agent of Mortgage Notes, the related Mortgages and such other items of
property that constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel
paper shall be deemed to be "possession by the secured party" for purposes of
perfecting the security interest pursuant to Section 9-305 of the New York
Uniform Commercial Code; and (4) notifications to persons holding such property,
and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such
property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or
confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable)
of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under
applicable law. Any assignment of the interest of the Purchaser pursuant to
Section 4(d) hereof shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security
interest created hereby. The Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent
consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure
that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the
Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected
security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained
as such throughout the term of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
SECTION 21. Third Party Beneficiary.
The Trustee shall be a third party beneficiary hereof (except with
respect to Section 17 and Section 18) and shall be entitled to enforce the
provisions hereof as if a party hereto, except the provisions of Section 17 and
Section 18 hereof. The Representative, on behalf of the underwriters, shall be a
third party beneficiary hereof solely with respect to Section 17 and shall be
entitled to enforce the provisions of Section 17 as if it were a party hereto.
The Guarantor shall be a third party beneficiary hereof solely with respect to
Section 18 and shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of Section 18 as if
it were a party hereto.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Purchaser and the Seller have caused their
names to be signed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of

any, now due on the mortgage to the Mortgagee, or to become due during the
period of military service (as defined by the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil
Relief Act, as amended,) and requests indulgence to the extent of being
permitted during such period, unless previously notified to the contrary by the
Mortgagee or the servicer of the Mortgage, to make monthly payments of
$_______________ commencing on _____________________ to apply on such mortgage
indebtedness, inclusive of any sums required to be paid to the Tax and Insurance
Account.
The Mortgagor will (1) promptly notify the servicer of the Mortgage of any
increase in his or her income from the property or from any other source, or any
increase in the income of members of his or her household, or of other persons
liable for the payment of the Mortgage, and pay a commensurate portion of such
increases toward the reduction of the balance due upon the Mortgage; (2)
increase the monthly payments proposed hereby to the extent that the Mortgagee
or said servicer may hereafter determine to be necessary to cover any increase
of taxes, assessments, insurance and other similar items; and (3) promptly
notify said servicer, in writing, of the data of termination of such period of
military service.
It is clearly understood that by the submission of the "Request for Military
Indulgence", the Mortgagor does not waive any rights or benefits under the
provision of the Soldiers' & Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940, as amended.

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