Schedule A
Mortgage Loan Schedule (by Mortgage Pool)
This TRUST AGREEMENT, dated as of May 1, 2006 (the “Agreement”), is by and among STRUCTURED ASSET SECURITIES CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, as depositor (the “Depositor”), U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as trustee (the “Trustee”), XXXXX FARGO BANK, N.A., a national banking association, as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and as securities administrator (in such capacity, the “Securities Administrator”), and XXXXXXX FIXED INCOME SERVICES INC. (formerly known as The Murrayhill Company), a Colorado corporation, as credit risk manager (the “Credit Risk Manager”).
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The Depositor has acquired the Mortgage Loans from the Seller, and at the Closing Date is the owner of the Mortgage Loans and the other property being conveyed by it to the Trustee hereunder for inclusion in the Trust Fund. On the Closing Date, the Depositor will acquire the Certificates from the Trust Fund, as consideration for its transfer to the Trust Fund of the Mortgage Loans and the other property constituting the Trust Fund. The Depositor has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Agreement to provide for the conveyance to the Trustee of the Mortgage Loans and the other property constituting the Trust Fund. All covenants and agreements made by the Seller in the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement and by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee herein with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the other property constituting the Trust Fund are for the benefit of the Holders from time to time of the Certificates and, to the extent provided herein, any NIMS Insurer, the Swap Counterparty and the Cap Counterparty. The Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Credit Risk Manager are entering into this Agreement, and the Trustee is accepting the Trust Fund created hereby, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged.
As provided herein, an election shall be made that the Trust Fund (exclusive of (i) the Swap Agreement, (ii) the Swap Account, (iii) the right to receive and the obligation to pay Basis Risk Shortfalls and Unpaid Basis Risk Shortfalls, (iv) the Basis Risk Reserve Fund, (v) the Supplemental Interest Trust, (vi) the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, (vii) the Interest Rate Cap Account and (viii) the obligation to pay Class I Shortfalls (collectively, the “Excluded Trust Assets”)) be treated for federal income tax purposes as comprising four real estate mortgage investment conduits under Section 860D of the Code (each a “REMIC” or, in the alternative “REMIC 1,” “REMIC 2,” “REMIC 3,” and “REMIC 4” (REMIC 4 also being referred to as the “Upper Tier REMIC”)). Any inconsistencies or ambiguities in this Agreement or in the administration of this Agreement shall be resolved in a manner that preserves the validity of such REMIC elections.
Each Certificate, other than the Class R and Class LT-R Certificates, represents ownership of a regular interest in the Upper Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. In addition, each Certificate, other than the Class R, Class LT-R, Class X and Class P Certificates, represents (i) the right to receive payments with respect to any Basis Risk Shortfalls and Unpaid Basis Risk Shortfalls and (ii) the obligation to pay Class I Shortfalls. The Class LT-R Certificate represents ownership of the sole Class of residual interest in REMIC 1. The Class R Certificate represents ownership of the sole Class of residual interest in each of REMIC 2, REMIC 3, and the Upper Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.
The Upper Tier REMIC shall hold as its assets the uncertificated Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 3, other than the Class LT3-R interest, and each such Lower Tier Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC 3 for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. REMIC 3 shall hold as its assets the uncertificated Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 2, other than the Class LT2-R interest, and each such Lower Tier Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC 2. REMIC 2 shall hold as its assets the uncertificated Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1, and each such Lower Tier Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC 1. REMIC 1 shall hold as its assets the property of the Trust Fund other than the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1, REMIC 2, and REMIC 3 and the Excluded Trust Assets.
The startup day for each REMIC created hereby for purposes of the REMIC Provisions is the Closing Date. In addition, for purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the latest possible maturity date for each regular interest in each REMIC created hereby is the Latest Possible Maturity Date.
REMIC 1:
REMIC 1 shall issue one uncertificated interest in respect of each Mortgage Loan held by the Trust Fund on the Closing Date, each of which is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC 1 (the “REMIC 1 Regular Interests”). REMIC 1 shall also issue the Class LT-R Certificate, which shall represent the sole class of residual interest in REMIC 1. Each REMIC 1 Regular Interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to the Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan to which it relates and shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Net Mortgage Rate of such Mortgage Loan. In the event a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan is substituted for such Mortgage Loan (the “Original Mortgage Loan”), no amount of interest payable on such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be distributed on such REMIC 1 Regular Interest at a rate in excess of the Net Mortgage Rate of the Original Mortgage Loan.
On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall first pay or charge as an expense of REMIC 1 all expenses of the Trust Fund for such Distribution Date, other than any expenses in respect of the Swap Agreement.
On each Distribution Date the Securities Administrator shall distribute the aggregate Interest Remittance Amount (net of expenses described in the preceding paragraph) with respect to each of the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1 based on the above-described interest rates.
On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute the aggregate Principal Remittance Amount among the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1 in accordance with the amount of the Principal Remittance Amount attributable to the Mortgage Loan corresponding to each such Lower Tier Interest in REMIC 1. All losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated among the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1 in the same manner that principal distributions are allocated.
On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute the Prepayment Premiums collected during the preceding Prepayment Period, in the case of Principal Prepayments in full, or during the related Collection Period, in the case of Principal Prepayments in part, to the Lower Tier Interest in REMIC 1 corresponding to the Mortgage Loan with respect to which such amounts were received.
REMIC 2:
The following table sets forth the designations, principal balances and interest rates for each interest in REMIC 2, each of which (other than the Class LT2-R Lower Tier Interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC 2 (the “REMIC 2 Regular Interests”):

The Class LT2-R interest shall not have a principal amount and shall not bear interest. The Class LT2-R interest is hereby designated as the sole class of residual interest in REMIC 2.
On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute the aggregate Interest Remittance Amount for the three Mortgage Pools (net of the expenses paid by REMIC 1) with respect to each of the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 2 based on the above-described interest rates.
On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute the aggregate Principal Remittance Amount with respect to the three Mortgage Pools with respect to the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 2, first to the Class LT2-A Interest until its principal balance is reduced to zero, and then sequentially, to the other Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 2 in ascending order of their numerical class designation, and, with respect to each pair of classes having the same numerical designation, in equal amounts to each such class, until the principal balance of each such class is reduced to zero. All losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated among the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 2 in the same manner that principal distributions are allocated.
On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute the Prepayment Premiums collected during the preceding Prepayment Period to the Class LT2-F59 Lower Tier Interest.

Section 2.02
Acceptance of Trust Fund by Trustee: Review of Documentation for Trust Fund.
(a)
The Trustee, by execution and delivery hereof, acknowledges receipt by it or by the Custodian on its behalf of the Mortgage Files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, subject to review thereof by the Trustee, or by the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, under this Section 2.02. The Trustee, or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, will execute and deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer on the Closing Date an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit B-1 (or in the form annexed to the Custodial Agreement as Exhibit B-1, as applicable).
(b)
Within 45 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, will, for the benefit of Holders of the Certificates, review each Mortgage File to ascertain that all required documents set forth in Section 2.01 have been received and appear on their face to contain the requisite signatures by or on behalf of the respective parties thereto, and shall deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and any NIMS Insurer an Interim Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit B-2 (or in the form annexed to the Custodial Agreement as Exhibit B-2, as applicable) to the effect that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan prepaid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in such certification as not covered by such certification), (i) all of the applicable documents specified in Section 2.01(b) are in its possession and (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and appear to relate to such Mortgage Loan. The Trustee, or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, shall determine whether such documents are executed and endorsed, but shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are valid, binding, legally effective, properly endorsed, genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded or are in recordable form or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face. Neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall have any responsibility for verifying the genuineness or the legal effectiveness of or authority for any signatures of or on behalf of any party or endorser.
(c)
If in the course of the review described in paragraph (b) above the Trustee or the Custodian discovers any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File that is missing, does not appear regular on its face (i.e., is mutilated, damaged, defaced, torn or otherwise physically altered) or appears to be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (each, a “Material Defect”), the Trustee, or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, discovering such Material Defect shall promptly identify the Mortgage Loan to which such Material Defect relates in the Interim Certification delivered to the Depositor and the Master Servicer. Within 90 days of its receipt of such notice, the Transferor, or, if the Transferor does not do so, the Depositor shall be required to cure such Material Defect (and, in such event, the Depositor shall provide the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate confirming that such cure has been effected). If the Transferor or the Depositor, as applicable, does not so cure such Material Defect, the Transferor, or, if the Transferor does not do so, the Depositor, shall, if a loss has been incurred with respect to such Mortgage Loan that would, if such Mortgage Loan were not purchased from the Trust Fund, constitute a Realized Loss, and such loss is attributable to the failure of the Depositor to cure such Material Defect, repurchase the related Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price. A loss shall be deemed to be attributable to the failure of the Depositor to cure a Material Defect if, as determined by the Depositor, upon mutual agreement with the Trustee each acting in good faith, absent such Material Defect, such loss would not have been incurred. Within the two-year period following the Closing Date, the Depositor may, in lieu of repurchasing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.02, substitute for such Mortgage Loan a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan subject to the provisions of Section 2.05. The failure of the Trustee or the Custodian to give the notice contemplated herein within 45 days after the Closing Date shall not affect or relieve the Depositor of its obligation to repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.02 or any other Section of this Agreement requiring the repurchase of Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund.

Within 180 days following the Closing Date, the Trustee, or the Custodian, shall deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and any NIMS Insurer a Final Certification substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B-3 (or in the form annexed to the Custodial Agreement as Exhibit B-3, as applicable) evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files in its possession or control, with any exceptions noted thereto.
(e)
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to constitute an assumption by the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificateholders of any unsatisfied duty, claim or other liability on any Mortgage Loan or to any Mortgagor.
(f)
Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the Custodian shall perform the applicable review of the Mortgage Loans and respective certifications thereof as provided in this Section 2.02 and the Custodial Agreement.

immediately prior to the transfer and assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, the Depositor was the sole owner of record and holder of each Mortgage Loan, and the Depositor had good and marketable title thereto, and had full right to transfer and sell each Mortgage Loan to the Trustee free and clear, subject only to (1) liens of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable and, if the related Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit, any lien for common charges permitted by statute, (2) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record as of the date of recording of such Mortgage acceptable to mortgage lending institutions in the area in which the related Mortgaged Property is located and specifically referred to in the lender’s Title Insurance Policy or attorney’s opinion of title and abstract of title delivered to the originator of such Mortgage Loan, and (3) such other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not, individually or in the aggregate, materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage, of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and had full right and authority, subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement.
(b)
The representations and warranties of the Transferor with respect to the related Mortgage Loans in the Transfer Agreement, which have been assigned to the Trustee hereunder, were made as of the date specified in the Transfer Agreement (or underlying agreement, if such Transfer Agreement is in the form of an assignment of a prior agreement). To the extent that any fact, condition or event with respect to a Mortgage Loan constitutes a breach of both (i) a representation or warranty of the Transferor under the Transfer Agreement and (ii) a representation or warranty of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement, the only right or remedy of the Trustee, any Certificateholder or any NIMS Insurer hereunder shall be their rights to enforce the obligations of the Transferor under any applicable representation or warranty made by it. The Trustee acknowledges that, except as otherwise provided in the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement, the Seller shall not have any obligation or liability with respect to any breach of a representation or warranty made by it with respect to the Mortgage Loans sold by it if the fact, condition or event constituting such breach also constitutes a breach of a representation or warranty made by the Transferor in the Transfer Agreement, without regard to whether such Transferor fulfills its contractual obligations in respect of such representation or warranty. The Trustee further acknowledges that the Depositor shall have no obligation or liability with respect to any breach of any representation or warranty with respect to the Mortgage Loans (except as set forth in Section 2.03(a)(vi)) under any circumstances.
Section 2.04
Discovery of Breach.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties (i) of the Depositor set forth in Section 2.03, (ii) of the Seller set forth in the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement and assigned to the Depositor by the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement and to the Trustee by the Depositor hereunder and (iii) of the Transferor and of each Servicer assigned by the Seller to the Depositor pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement and assigned to the Trustee by the Depositor hereunder, shall each survive delivery of the Mortgage Files and the Assignment of Mortgage of each Mortgage Loan to the Trustee and shall continue throughout the term of this Agreement. Upon discovery by any of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee of a breach of any of such representations and warranties that adversely and materially affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties. Within 90 days of the discovery of a breach of any representation or warranty given to the Trustee by the Depositor or given by the Transferor or the Seller and assigned to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Transferor or the Seller, as applicable, shall either (a) cure such breach in all material respects, (b) repurchase such Mortgage Loan or any property acquired in respect thereof from the Trustee at the Purchase Price or (c) within the two-year period following the Closing Date, substitute a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan for the affected Mortgage Loan. In the event of discovery of a breach of any representation and warranty of the Transferor assigned to the Trustee, the Trustee shall enforce its rights under the Transfer Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement for the benefit of Certificateholders and any NIMS Insurer. As provided in the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement, if the Transferor substitutes a mortgage loan for a Deleted Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Transfer Agreement and such substitute mortgage loan is not a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan, then pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement the Seller will, in exchange for such substitute mortgage loan, (i) pay to the Trust Fund the applicable Purchase Price for the affected Mortgage Loan or (ii) within two years of the Closing Date, substitute a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan.
Section 2.05
Repurchase, Purchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans.
(a)
With respect to any Mortgage Loan repurchased by the Depositor pursuant to this Agreement, by the Seller pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement or by the Transferor pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, the principal portion of the funds received by the Trustee in respect of such repurchase of a Mortgage Loan will be considered a Principal Prepayment and shall be deposited in the Certificate Account or a Custodial Account, as applicable. The Trustee (i) upon receipt of the full amount of the Purchase Price for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, (ii) upon receipt of a written certification from the Master Servicer that it has received the full amount of the Purchase Price for a Deleted Mortgage Loan and has deposited such amount in the Certificate Account or (iii) upon receipt of notification from the Custodian that it had received the Mortgage File for a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan substituted for a Deleted Mortgage Loan (and any applicable Substitution Amount), shall release or cause to be released and reassign to the Depositor, the Seller or the Transferor, as applicable, the related Mortgage File for the Deleted Mortgage Loan and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest in such party or its designee or assignee title to any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto, free and clear of all security interests, liens and other encumbrances created by this Agreement, which instruments shall be prepared by the related Servicer and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility with respect to the Mortgage File relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Seller indemnifies and holds the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor, and NIMS Insurer and each Certificateholder harmless against any and all taxes, claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, any NIMS Insurer and any Certificateholder may sustain in connection with any actions of such Seller relating to a repurchase of a Mortgage Loan other than in compliance with the terms of this Section 2.05 and the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement, to the extent that any such action causes an Adverse REMIC Event.
(b)
With respect to each Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan to be delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian) pursuant to the terms of this Article II in exchange for a Deleted Mortgage Loan: (i) the Depositor, the Transferor or the Seller, as applicable, must deliver to the Trustee (or the Custodian) the Mortgage File for the Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan containing the documents set forth in Section 2.01(b) along with a written certification certifying as to the delivery of such Mortgage File and containing granting language substantially comparable to that set forth in the first paragraph of Section 2.01(a); and (ii) the Depositor will be deemed to have made, with respect to such Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan, each of the representations and warranties made by it with respect to the related Deleted Mortgage Loan. As soon as practicable after the delivery of any Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan hereunder, the Master Servicer, at the expense of the Depositor and at the direction and with the cooperation of the applicable Servicer, shall (i) with respect to a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan that is a Non-MERS Mortgage Loan, cause the Assignment of Mortgage to be recorded by the applicable Servicer if required pursuant to Section 2.01(c), or (ii) with respect to a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, cause to be taken such actions as are necessary to cause the Trustee to be clearly identified as the owner of each such Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS if required pursuant to Section 2.01(c).
(c)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the right to substitute Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Article II shall be subject to the additional limitations that no substitution of a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Deleted Mortgage Loan shall be made unless the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer has received an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee (at the expense of the party seeking to make the substitution) that, under current law, such substitution will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event.
Section 2.06
Grant Clause.
(a)
It is intended that the conveyance of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to property constituting the Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute, and shall be construed as, a sale of such property and not a grant of a security interest to secure a loan. However, if such conveyance is deemed to be in respect of a loan, it is intended that: (1) the rights and obligations of the parties shall be established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; (2) the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates a first priority security interest to secure repayment of an obligation in an amount equal to the aggregate Class Principal Amount of the Certificates (or the aggregate principal balance of the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests, if applicable) in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in, to and under, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, the Trust Fund, the Supplemental Interest Trust and all proceeds of any and all property constituting the Trust Fund and the Supplemental Interest Trust to secure payment of the Certificates or Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests, as applicable (such security interest being, to the extent of the assets that constitute the Supplemental Interest Trust, pari passu with the security interest as provided in clause (4) below); (3) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law; and (4) the Swap Counterparty shall be deemed, during the term of such agreement and while such agreement is the property of the Trustee, to have a security interest in all of the assets that constitute the Supplemental Interest Trust, but only to the extent of such Swap Counterparty’s right to payment under the Swap Agreement (such security interest being pari passu with the security interest as provided in clause (2) above). If such conveyance is deemed to be in respect of a loan and the trust created by this Agreement terminates prior to the satisfaction of the claims of any Person holding any Certificate or Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests, as applicable, the security interest created hereby shall continue in full force and effect and the Trustee shall be deemed to be the collateral agent for the benefit of such Person, and all proceeds shall be distributed as herein provided.
(b)
The Depositor shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the other property described above, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and shall be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. The Depositor shall, at its own expense, make all initial filings on or about the Closing Date and shall forward a copy of such filing or filings to the Trustee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Depositor shall prepare and forward for filing, or shall cause to be forwarded for filing, at the expense of the Depositor, all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings necessary under the relevant UCC to perfect the Trustee’s security interest in or lien on the Mortgage Loans, including without limitation (x) continuation statements, and (y) such other statements as may be occasioned by (1) any change of name of the Seller, the Depositor or the Trustee, (2) any change of location of the jurisdiction of organization of the Seller or the Depositor, (3) any transfer of any interest of the Seller or the Depositor in any Mortgage Loan or (4) any change under the relevant UCC or other applicable laws. Neither the Seller nor the Depositor shall organize under the law of any jurisdiction other than the State under which each is organized as of the Closing Date (whether changing its jurisdiction of organization or organizing under an additional jurisdiction) without giving 30 days prior written notice of such action to its immediate and intermediate transferee, including the Trustee. Before effecting such change, the Seller or the Depositor proposing to change its jurisdiction of organization shall prepare and file in the appropriate filing office any financing statements or other statements necessary to continue the perfection of the interests of its immediate and intermediate transferees, including the Trustee, in the Mortgage Loans. In connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the Seller and the Depositor authorizes its immediate or intermediate transferee to file in any filing office any initial financing statements, any amendments to financing statements, any continuation statements, or any other statements or filings described in this paragraph (b).
Section 3.01
The Certificates.
(a)
The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form only and shall be securities governed by Article 8 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code. The Book-Entry Certificates will be evidenced by one or more certificates, beneficial ownership of which will be held in the dollar denominations in Certificate Principal Amount, or in the Percentage Interests, specified herein. Each Class of Book-Entry Certificates will be issued in the minimum denominations in Certificate Principal Amount specified in the Preliminary Statement hereto and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. The Class P and Class X Certificates shall each be maintained in definitive, fully registered form in the minimum denomination specified in the Preliminary Statement hereto and in integral multiples of 1% in excess thereof. Each of the Class R and Class LT-R Certificate shall be issued as a single Certificate and maintained in definitive, fully registered form in a minimum denomination equal to 100% of the Percentage Interest of such Class. The Certificates may be issued in the form of typewritten certificates.
(b)
The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Securities Administrator by an authorized officer. Each Certificate shall, on original issue, be authenticated by the Securities Administrator upon the order of the Depositor upon receipt by the Trustee (or its Custodian) of the Mortgage Files described in Section 2.01. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein, executed by an authorized officer of the Securities Administrator or the Authenticating Agent, if any, by manual signature, and such certification upon any Certificate 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. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor may deliver Certificates executed by the Depositor to the Securities Administrator or the Authenticating Agent for authentication and the Securities Administrator or the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver such Certificates as in this Agreement provided and not otherwise.
(c)
The Class B1 and Class B2 Certificates offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration under Rule 144A under the Securities Act shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent global Certificates in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons with the applicable legends set forth in Exhibit A added to the forms of such Certificates (each, a “Restricted Global Security”), which shall be deposited on behalf of the subscribers for such Certificates represented thereby with the Securities Administrator, as custodian for The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and registered in the name of a nominee of DTC, duly executed and authenticated by the Securities Administrator as hereinafter provided. The aggregate principal amounts of the Restricted Global Securities may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Securities Administrator or DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as hereinafter provided.
(d)
The Class B1 and Class B2 Certificates sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent global Certificates in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons with the applicable legends set forth in Exhibit A hereto added to the forms of such Certificates (each, a “Regulation S Global Security”), which shall be deposited on behalf of the subscribers for such Certificates represented thereby with the Securities Administrator, as custodian for DTC and registered in the name of a nominee of DTC, duly executed and authenticated by the Securities Administrator as hereinafter provided. The aggregate principal amounts of the Regulation S Global Securities may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Securities Administrator or DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as hereinafter provided.
(e)
The Class B1 and Class B2 Certificates sold to an “accredited investor” under Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act shall be issued initially in the form of one or more Definitive Certificates.
Section 3.02
Registration.
The Securities Administrator is hereby appointed, and hereby accepts its appointment as, Certificate Registrar in respect of the Certificates (and, after a Section 7.01(c) Purchase Event, the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests) and shall maintain books for the registration and for the transfer of Certificates (and, after a Section 7.01(c) Purchase Event, the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests) (the “Certificate Register”). The Securities Administrator may appoint a bank or trust company to act as Certificate Registrar. A registration book shall be maintained for the Certificates (and Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests, as the case may be) collectively. The Certificate Registrar may resign or be discharged or removed and a new successor may be appointed in accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in Sections 6.06 and 6.07 hereof with respect to the resignation, discharge or removal of the Securities Administrator and the appointment of a successor Securities Administrator. The Certificate Registrar may appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Holders, any NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer, any bank or trust company to act as co-registrar under such conditions as the Certificate Registrar may prescribe; provided, however, that the Certificate Registrar shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities hereunder by reason of such appointment.
Upon the occurrence of a Section 7.01(c) Purchase Event, the Master Servicer shall provide the Securities Administrator with written notice of the identity of any transferee of the Master Servicer’s interest in the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests, which notice shall contain a certification that such transferee is a permitted LTURI-holder hereunder. The Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests may only be transferred in whole and not in part to no more than one LTURI-holder at a time who is either (1) an affiliate of the Master Servicer or (2) a trustee of a privately placed securitization. The Securities Administrator and the Depositor shall treat the Person in whose name the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests are registered on the books of the Certificate Registrar as the LTURI-holder for all purposes hereunder.
Section 3.03
Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a)
A Certificate (other than a Book-Entry Certificate which shall be subject to Section 3.09 hereof) may be transferred by the Holder thereof only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by such Holder or his duly authorized attorney in such form as shall be satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar. Upon the transfer of any Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Securities Administrator shall execute, and the Securities Administrator or any Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the transferee, one or more new Certificates of the same Class and evidencing, in the aggregate, the same aggregate Certificate Principal Amount or Percentage Interest as the Certificate being transferred. No service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder for any registration of transfer of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer of Certificates.
(b)
A Certificate may be exchanged by the Holder thereof for any number of new Certificates of the same Class, in authorized denominations, representing in the aggregate the same Certificate Principal Amount or Percentage Interest as the Certificate surrendered, upon surrender of the Certificate to be exchanged at the office of the Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by such Holder or his duly authorized attorney in such form as is satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar. Certificates delivered upon any such exchange will evidence the same obligations, and will be entitled to the same rights and privileges, as the Certificates surrendered. No service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder for any exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of Certificates. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Securities Administrator shall execute, and the Securities Administrator or the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, date and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
(c)
By acceptance of a Restricted Certificate or a Regulation S Global Security, whether upon original issuance or subsequent transfer, each Holder of such a Certificate acknowledges the restrictions on the transfer of such Certificate set forth thereon and agrees that it will transfer such a Certificate only as provided herein. In addition, each Holder of a Regulation S Global Security shall be deemed to have represented and warranted to the Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar and any of their respective successors that: (i) such Person is not a U.S. person within the meaning of Regulation S and was, at the time the buy order was originated, outside the United States and (ii) such Person understands that such Certificates have not been registered under the Securities Act, and that (x) until the expiration of the 40-day distribution compliance period (within the meaning of Regulation S), no offer, sale, pledge or other transfer of such Certificates or any interest therein shall be made in the United States or to or for the account or benefit of a U.S. person (each as defined in Regulation S), (y) if in the future it decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer such Certificates, such Certificates may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only (A) to a person which the seller reasonably believes is a “qualified institutional buyer” (a “QIB”) as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act, that is purchasing such Certificates for its own account or for the account of a qualified institutional buyer to which notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A or (B) in an offshore transaction (as defined in Regulation S) in compliance with the provisions of Regulation S, in each case in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement; and it will notify such transferee of the transfer restrictions specified in this Section.
The following restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer and registration of transfer of a Restricted Certificate to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of a Definitive Certificate:
(i)
The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Restricted Certificate if the requested transfer is (x) to the Depositor or the Placement Agent, an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of the Depositor or the Placement Agent or (y) being made to a “qualified institutional buyer” (a “QIB”) as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act by a transferor that has provided the Securities Administrator with a certificate in the form of Exhibit F hereto; and
(ii)
The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Restricted Certificate if the requested transfer is being made to an “accredited investor” under Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act, or to any Person all of the equity owners in which are such accredited investors, by a transferor who furnishes to the Securities Administrator a letter of the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto.
(d)
(i) No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate in the form of a Definitive Certificate shall be made to any Person unless the Securities Administrator has received (A) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto (or Exhibit D-1, in the case of a Residual Certificate) from such transferee or (B) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Securities Administrator, to the effect that the purchase and holding of such a Certificate will not constitute or result in prohibited transactions under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Trustee, the Master Servicer, any Servicer, the Securities Administrator, any NIMS Insurer or the Depositor to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement; provided, however, that the Securities Administrator will not require such certificate or opinion in the event that, as a result of a change of law or otherwise, counsel satisfactory to the Securities Administrator, has rendered an opinion to the effect that the purchase and holding of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate by a Plan or a Person that is purchasing or holding such a Certificate with the assets of a Plan will not constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. Each Transferee of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate shall be deemed to have made the representations set forth in Exhibit H. The preparation and delivery of the certificate and opinions referred to above shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, any NIMS Insurer or the Depositor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no opinion or certificate shall be required for the initial issuance of the ERISA-Restricted Certificates. The Securities Administrator shall have no obligation to monitor transfers of Book-Entry Certificates that are ERISA-Restricted Certificates and shall have no liability for transfers of such Certificates in violation of the transfer restrictions. The Securities Administrator shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 3.03(d) or for making any payments due on such 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 transfer was registered by the Securities Administrator in accordance with the foregoing requirements. The Securities Administrator shall be entitled, but not obligated, to recover from any Holder of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that was in fact a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of any such Plan any payments made on such ERISA-Restricted Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Securities Administrator shall be paid and delivered by the Securities Administrator to the last preceding Holder of such Certificate that is not such a Plan or Person acting on behalf of a Plan.
(ii) No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate shall be made prior to the termination of the Swap Agreement and the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, unless the Securities Administrator shall have received a representation letter from the transferee of such Certificate, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit H, to the effect that either (i) such transferee is neither a Plan nor a Person acting on behalf of any such Plan or using the assets of any such Plan to effect such transfer or (ii) the acquisition and holding of the ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate are eligible for exemptive relief under Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 84-14, XXXX 00-0, XXXX 00-00, XXXX 95-60 or PTCE 96-23. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, prior to the termination of the Swap Agreement and the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate on behalf of a Plan without the delivery to the Securities Administrator of a representation letter as described above shall be void and of no effect. If the ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate is a Book-Entry Certificate, prior to the termination of the Swap Agreement and the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, the transferee will be deemed to have made a representation as provided in clause (i) or (ii) of this paragraph, as applicable.
If any ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate, or any interest therein, is acquired or held in violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraph, 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 an ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate, or interest therein, was effected in violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraph shall indemnify to the extent permitted by law and hold harmless the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, any NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by such parties as a result of such acquisition or holding.
To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA), the Securities Administrator shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 3.03(d)(ii) or for making any payments due on such 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 transfer was registered by the Securities Administrator in accordance with the foregoing requirements.
(e)
As a condition of the registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate, the Certificate Registrar may require the certified taxpayer identification number of the owner of the Certificate and the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith; provided, however, that the Certificate Registrar shall have no obligation to require such payment or to determine whether or not any such tax or charge may be applicable. No service charge shall be made to the Certificateholder for any registration, transfer or exchange of a Certificate.
(f)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Residual Certificate may be owned, pledged or transferred, directly or indirectly, by or to (i) a Disqualified Organization or (ii) an individual, corporation or partnership or other person unless such person is (A) not a Non-U.S. Person or (B) is a Non-U.S. Person that holds a Residual Certificate in connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States and has furnished the transferor and the Securities Administrator with an effective Internal Revenue Service W-8ECI or successor form at the time and in the manner required by the Code (any such person who is not covered by clause (A) or (B) above is referred to herein as a “Non-permitted Foreign Holder”).
Prior to and as a condition of the registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of a Residual Certificate, the proposed transferee shall deliver to the Securities Administrator an affidavit in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-1 representing and warranting, among other things, that such transferee is neither a Disqualified Organization, an agent or nominee acting on behalf of a Disqualified Organization, nor a Non-Permitted Foreign Holder (any such transferee, a “Permitted Transferee”), and the proposed transferor shall deliver to the Securities Administrator an affidavit in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-2. In addition, the Securities Administrator may (but shall have no obligation to) require, prior to and as a condition of any such transfer, the delivery by the proposed transferee of an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, any NIMS Insurer and the Trustee satisfactory in form and substance to the Depositor, that such proposed transferee or, if the proposed transferee is an agent or nominee, the proposed beneficial owner, is not a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or a Non-Permitted Foreign Holder. Notwithstanding the registration in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale, or other disposition of a Residual Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, an agent or nominee thereof, or Non-Permitted Foreign Holder, such registration shall be deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or Non-Permitted Foreign Holder shall not be deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose hereunder, including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions on such Residual Certificate. The Securities Administrator shall not be under any liability to any person for any registration or transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof or Non-permitted Foreign Holder or for the maturity of any payments due on such Residual Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of the Agreement, so long as the transfer was effected in accordance with this Section 3.03(f), unless a Responsible Officer of the Securities Administrator shall have actual knowledge at the time of such transfer or the time of such payment or other action that the transferee is a Disqualified Organization, or an agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder. The Securities Administrator shall be entitled, but not obligated, to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder at the time it became a Holder or any subsequent time it became a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and after either such times (and all costs and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection therewith). Any payment (not including any such costs and expenses) so recovered by the Securities Administrator shall be paid and delivered to the last preceding Holder of such Residual Certificate.
If any purported transferee shall become a registered Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 3.03(f), then upon receipt of written notice to the Securities Administrator that the registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section 3.03(f), the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of such registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Securities Administrator shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 3.03(f), for making any payment due on such Certificate to the registered Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered upon receipt of the affidavit described in the preceding paragraph of this Section 3.03(f).
(g)
Each Holder or Certificate Owner of a Restricted Certificate, ERISA-Restricted Certificate or Residual Certificate, or an interest therein, by such Holder’s or Owner’s acceptance thereof, shall be deemed for all purposes to have consented to the provisions of this section.
(h)
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, so long as a Global Security representing any Class B1 or Class B2 Certificate remains outstanding and is held by or on behalf of DTC, transfers of a Global Security representing any such Certificates, in whole or in part, shall only be made in accordance with Section 3.01 and this Section 3.03(h).
(A)
Subject to clauses (B) and (C) of this Section 3.03(h), transfers of a Global Security representing any Class B1 or Class B2 Certificate shall be limited to transfers of such Global Security, in whole or in part, to nominees of DTC or to a successor of DTC or such successor’s nominee.
(B)

(b)
Each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they are on their face in the form required by this Agreement; provided, however, that neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Master Servicer, any Servicer, the Swap Counterparty, the Cap Counterparty or the Credit Risk Manager to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Agreement, and shall not be required to recalculate or verify any numerical information furnished to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Agreement. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, if any such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument is found not to conform on its face to the form required by this Agreement in a material manner the Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall notify the Person providing such resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports or other documents of the non-conformity, and if the instrument is not corrected to the Trustee’s or Securities Administrator’s, as applicable, satisfaction, the Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, will provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders and any NIMS Insurer and will, at the expense of the Trust Fund, which expense shall be reasonable given the scope and nature of the required action, take such further action as directed by the Certificateholders and any NIMS Insurer.

(iii)
For all purposes under this Agreement, the Securities Administrator shall not be deemed to have notice of any Event of Default (other than resulting from a failure by the Master Servicer to furnish information to the Securities Administrator when required to do so) unless a Responsible Officer of the Securities Administrator has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Securities Administrator at the Corporate Trust Office, and such notice references the Holders of the Certificates and this Agreement;
(iv)
No provision of this Agreement shall require the Trustee or the Securities Administrator to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it; and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee or the Securities Administrator to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement;

(f)
Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be required to perform services under this Agreement, or to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability for the performance of any of its duties hereunder or the exercise of any of its rights or powers if there is reasonable ground for believing that the timely payment of its fees and expenses or the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer or any Servicer under this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(x)
A sale or pledge of any of the rights of the Master Servicer hereunder or an assignment of this Agreement by the Master Servicer or a delegation of the rights or duties of the Master Servicer hereunder shall have occurred in any manner not otherwise permitted hereunder and without the prior written consent of the Trustee, any NIMS Insurer and Certificateholders holding more than 50% of the Aggregate Voting Interests of the Certificates; or

(xii)

If an Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (xii) of this Section shall occur, then, in each and every case, subject to applicable law, so long as any such Event of Default shall not have been remedied within any period of time prescribed by this Section, the Trustee, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer (with a copy to the Securities Administrator) may, and shall, if so directed by Certificateholders evidencing more than 50% of the Class Principal Amount of each Class of Certificates, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. If an Event of Default described in clause (xii) of this Section shall occur, then, in each and every case, subject to applicable law, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied within the time period prescribed by clause (xii) of this Section 6.14, the Trustee, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer (with a copy to the Securities Administrator), shall promptly terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder 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, and only in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee; provided, however, the parties acknowledge that notwithstanding the preceding sentence there may be a transition period, not to exceed 90 days, in order to effect the transfer of the Master Servicing obligations to the Trustee. The Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the defaulting Master Servicer as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents or otherwise. The defaulting Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the defaulting Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder as Master Servicer including, without limitation, notifying Servicers of the assignment of the master servicing function and providing the Trustee or its designee all documents and records in electronic or other form reasonably requested by it to enable the Trustee or its designee to assume the defaulting Master Servicer’s functions hereunder and the transfer to the Trustee for administration by it of all amounts which shall at the time be or should have been deposited by the defaulting Master Servicer in the Certificate Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer being terminated (or the Trust Fund, if the Master Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder) as a result of an Event of Default shall bear all reasonable costs and expenses of a master servicing transfer.
The Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed from 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 master servicing from the predecessor Master Servicer, including, without limitation, any costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer of all master servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the Trustee to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the master servicing data or otherwise to enable the Trustee to master service the Mortgage Loans properly and effectively. If the terminated Master Servicer does not pay such reimbursement within thirty (30) days of its receipt of an invoice therefore, such reimbursement shall be an expense of the Trust and the Trustee shall be entitled to withdraw such reimbursement from amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 4.02; provided that the terminated Master Servicer shall reimburse the Trust for any such expense incurred by the Trust; and provided, further, that the Trustee shall decide whether and to what extent it is in the best interest of the Certificateholders to pursue any remedy against any party obligated to make such reimbursement.
Notwithstanding the termination of its activities as Master Servicer, each terminated Master Servicer shall continue to be entitled to reimbursement to the extent provided in Section 4.02 to the extent such reimbursement relates to the period prior to such Master Servicer’s termination.
If any Event of Default shall occur, the Trustee, upon a Responsible Officer of the Trustee becoming aware of the occurrence thereof, shall promptly notify the Securities Administrator, any NIMS Insurer, the Swap Counterparty, the Cap Counterparty, and each Rating Agency of the nature and extent of such Event of Default.
(b)
On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination from the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.14(a) or the Trustee receives the resignation of the Master Servicer evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 9.28, the Trustee, unless another master servicer shall have been appointed, shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity as such under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the Master Servicer hereunder, including the obligation to make Advances; provided, however, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s failure to provide information required by this Agreement shall not be considered a default by the Trustee hereunder. In addition, the Trustee shall have no responsibility for any act or omission of the Master Servicer prior to the issuance of any notice of termination. The Trustee shall have no liability relating to the representations and warranties of the Master Servicer set forth in Section 9.14. In the Trustee’s capacity as such successor, the Trustee shall have the same limitations on liability herein granted to the Master Servicer. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive all compensation payable to the Master Servicer under this Agreement, including the Master Servicing Fee.
(c)
Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to continue to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, or appoint on its own behalf any established housing and home finance institution servicer, master servicer, servicing or mortgage servicing institution having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 and meeting such other standards for a successor master servicer as are set forth in this Agreement, as the successor to such Master Servicer in the assumption of all of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder. Any entity designated by the Trustee as a successor master servicer may be an Affiliate of the Trustee; provided, however, that, unless such Affiliate meets the net worth requirements and other standards set forth herein for a successor master servicer, the Trustee, in its individual capacity shall agree, at the time of such designation, to be and remain liable to the Trust Fund for such Affiliate’s actions and omissions in performing its duties hereunder. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted to the Master Servicer hereunder. The Trustee and such successor shall take such actions, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession and may make other arrangements with respect to the servicing to be conducted hereunder which are not inconsistent herewith. The Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee and any successor master servicer in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder including, without limitation, notifying Mortgagors of the assignment of the master servicing functions and providing the Trustee and successor master servicer, as applicable, all documents and records in electronic or other form reasonably requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s functions hereunder and the transfer to the Trustee or such successor master servicer, as applicable, all amounts which shall at the time be or should have been deposited by the Master Servicer in the Certificate Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates or the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor master servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash, documents or records to it, (ii) the failure of the Master Servicer to cooperate as required by this Agreement, (iii) the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver the Mortgage Loan data to the Securities Administrator as required by this Agreement or (iv) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Master Servicer. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor master servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by the failure of the Securities Administrator to deliver, or any delay in delivering cash, documents or records to it.
Section 6.15
Additional Remedies of Trustee Upon Event of Default.
During the continuance of any Event of Default, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in Section 6.14, shall have the right, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of any NIMS Insurer and the Certificateholders (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default.
Section 6.16
Waiver of Defaults.
More than 50% of the Aggregate Voting Interests of Certificateholders (with the consent of any NIMS Insurer) may waive any default or Event of Default by the Master Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder, except that a default in the making of any required deposit to the Certificate Account that would result in a failure of the Securities Administrator to make any required payment of principal of or interest on the Certificates may only be waived with the consent of 100% of the affected Certificateholders and with the consent of any NIMS Insurer. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
Section 6.17
Notification to Holders.
Upon termination of the Master Servicer or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer, in each case as provided herein, the Trustee shall promptly mail notice thereof by first class mail to the Securities Administrator and the Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing on the Certificate Register, any NIMS Insurer, the Swap Counterparty and the Cap Counterparty. The Trustee shall also, within 45 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, give written notice thereof to Securities Administrator, any NIMS Insurer and the Certificateholders, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived prior to the issuance of such notice and within such 45-day period.

Section 6.19

(a)
The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Trustee and the Master Servicer created hereby (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make payments to Certificateholders and the Swap Counterparty as set forth in Section 7.02, the obligation of the Master Servicer to make a final remittance to the Securities Administrator pursuant to Section 4.01, and the obligations of the Master Servicer to the Securities Administrator pursuant to Section 9.10 and to the Securities Administrator and the Trustee pursuant to Sections 9.14 and 9.31) shall terminate on the earliest of (i) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO Property, (ii) the sale of the property held by the Trust Fund in accordance with Section 7.01(b) and (iii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date (each, a “Trust Fund Termination Event”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Trust Fund created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date hereof. Upon the occurrence of a Trust Fund Termination Event, each REMIC shall be terminated in a manner that shall qualify as a “qualified liquidation” under the REMIC Provisions.
(b)
On any Distribution Date occurring on or after the Initial Optional Termination Date, the Master Servicer or LTURI-holder, as applicable, with the prior written consent of any NIMS Insurer and the Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, has the option to cause the Trust Fund to adopt a plan of complete liquidation pursuant to Section 7.03(a)(i) hereof to sell all of its property. Upon exercise of such option, the property of the Trust Fund shall be sold to the Master Servicer at a price (the “Termination Price”) equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage Loan on the day of such purchase plus interest accrued thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate with respect to any Mortgage Loan to the Due Date in the Collection Period immediately preceding the related Distribution Date to the date of such repurchase, (ii) the fair market value of any REO Property and any other property held by any REMIC, such fair market value to be determined by an independent appraiser or appraisers mutually agreed upon by the Master Servicer, any NIMS Insurer and the Trustee (reduced, in the case of REO Property, by (1) reasonably anticipated disposition costs and (2) any amount by which the fair market value as so reduced exceeds the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan plus interest accrued thereon at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate to the date of such purchase), (iii) any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and (iv) any Swap Termination Payment payable to the Swap Counterparty as a result of a termination pursuant to this Section 7.01; provided, however, if there are any NIM Securities outstanding, the Master Servicer may only exercise its option after receiving the prior written consent of the holders of such NIM Securities and, if such consent is given, the Termination Price shall also include an amount equal to the sum of (1) any accrued interest on the NIM Securities, (2) the unpaid principal balance of any such NIM Securities and (3) any other reimbursable expenses owed by the issuer of the NIM Securities (the “NIM Redemption Amount”). The Master Servicer, each Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Custodian shall be reimbursed from the Termination Price for any Mortgage Loan or related REO Property for any Advances made or other amounts advanced with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are reimbursable to any such entity under this Agreement, the applicable Servicing Agreement or the Custodial Agreement, together with any accrued and unpaid compensation and any other amounts due to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee hereunder or the Servicers or the Custodian. If the Master Servicer fails to exercise its right to cause the Trust Fund to adopt a plan of complete liquidation as described above, then the NIMS Insurer may cause the Trust Fund to adopt a plan of complete liquidation as described above, and (i) the Master Servicer shall cause the Trust Fund to adopt a plan of complete liquidation as described above, (ii) the NIMS Insurer shall remit the Termination Price in immediately available funds to the Master Servicer at least three Business Days prior to the applicable Distribution Date and, upon receipt of such funds from the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer shall promptly deposit such funds in the Certificate Account and (iii) upon termination of the Trust Fund, the Trustee will transfer the property of the Trust Fund to the NIMS Insurer. The NIMS Insurer shall be obligated to reimburse the Master Servicer for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with its termination of the Trust Fund and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer for any losses, liabilities or expenses resulting from any claims directly resulting from or relating to the NIMS Insurer’s termination of the Trust Fund, except to the extent such losses, liabilities or expenses arise out of or result from the Master Servicer’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
(c)
On any Distribution Date occurring on or after the Initial Optional Termination Date and provided there are no NIM Securities outstanding, the Master Servicer, with the prior written consent of the Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, has the option to purchase all of the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests. Upon exercise of such option, the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests shall be sold to the Master Servicer at a price (the “Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests Purchase Price”) equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage Loan on the day of such purchase plus interest accrued thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate with respect to any Mortgage Loan to the Due Date in the Collection Period immediately preceding the related Distribution Date to the date of such repurchase and (ii) the fair market value of any REO Property and any other property held by any REMIC, such fair market value to be determined by an independent appraiser or appraisers mutually agreed upon by the Master Servicer, any NIMS Insurer and the Trustee (reduced, in the case of REO Property, by (1) reasonably anticipated disposition costs and (2) any amount by which the fair market value as so reduced exceeds the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan plus interest accrued thereon at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate to the date of such purchase). If the Master Servicer elects to exercise such option, each REMIC created pursuant to this Agreement (other than REMIC 1) shall be terminated in such a manner so that the termination of each such REMIC shall qualify as a “qualified liquidation” under the REMIC Provisions and the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests and the Class LT-R Certificates will evidence the entire beneficial interest in the property of the Trust Fund. Following a purchase of the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests pursuant to this subsection, the Trust Fund (and REMIC 1) will remain outstanding and final payment on the Certificates (other than the Class LT-R Certificates) will be made in accordance with Sections 7.03(a)(iii) and 5.02. The Trust Fund will terminate upon the occurrence of a Trust Fund Termination Event, in accordance with Section 7.01(a).
Section 7.02
Procedure Upon Termination of Trust Fund or Purchase of Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests.
(a)
Notice of any Trust Fund Termination Event and notice of the purchase of the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests, specifying the Distribution Date upon which the final distribution to the Certificates (other than the Class LT-R Certificates, in the case of a purchase of the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests) shall be made, shall be given by the Securities Administrator by first class mail to Certificateholders mailed promptly (and in no event later than five Business Days) (x) after the Securities Administrator has received notice from the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer or the LTURI-holder, as applicable, of its election to cause (1) the sale of all of the property of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 7.01(b) or (2) the purchase of the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests pursuant to Section 7.01(c), or (y) upon the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property in the Trust Fund. In the case of a Trust Fund Termination Event, the Securities Administrator shall also give notice to the Master Servicer, the Swap Counterparty, the Cap Counterparty and the Certificate Registrar at the time notice is given to Holders.
In the case of a Trust Fund Termination Event, such notice shall specify (A) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the Certificates or Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests of all amounts required to be distributed to Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.02 will be made upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the Corporate Trust Office, and (B) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distribution being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of the Securities Administrator therein specified. Upon any such Trust Fund Termination Event, the duties of the Certificate Registrar with respect to the Certificates or Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests shall terminate and the Securities Administrator shall terminate the Certificate Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates or Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests, subject to the Securities Administrator’s obligation hereunder to hold all amounts payable to Certificateholders in trust without interest pending such payment.
In the case of a purchase of the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests, such notice shall specify (A) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the Certificates (other than the Class LT-R Certificates) of all amounts required to be distributed to Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.02 (other than any distributions to the Class LT-R Certificates in respect of REMIC 1) will be made upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates (other than the Class LT-R Certificates) at the Corporate Trust Office, and (B) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distribution being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates (other than the Class LT-R Certificates) at the office or agency of the Securities Administrator therein specified. Upon any such purchase of the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests, the duties of the Certificate Registrar with respect to the Certificates other than the Class LT-R Certificate shall terminate but the Securities Administrator shall not terminate the Certificate Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates, subject to the Securities Administrator’s obligation hereunder to hold all amounts payable to Certificateholders in trust without interest pending such payment. For all Distribution Dates following the Distribution Date on which the Master Servicer purchases the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests, all amounts that would be distributed on the Certificates (other than the Class LT-R Certificate and exclusive of amounts payable from any fund held outside of REMIC 1) absent such purchase shall be payable to the LTURI-holder.
(b)
In the event that all of the Holders do not surrender their Certificates for cancellation within three months after the time specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the Securities Administrator shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator may take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of such Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the amounts distributable to such Holders. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator shall, subject to applicable state law relating to escheatment, hold all amounts distributable to such Holders for the benefit of such Holders. No interest shall accrue on any amount held by the Securities Administrator and not distributed to a Certificateholder due to such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for payment of the final distribution thereon in accordance with this Section.
(c)
Any reasonable expenses incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection with any Trust Fund Termination Event or any purchase of the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests shall be reimbursed from proceeds received from such termination or purchase.
Section 7.03
Additional Trust Fund Termination Event or Purchase of the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests.
(a)
Any termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 7.01(a) or any termination of a REMIC pursuant to Section 7.01(c) shall be effected in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Securities Administrator seeks (at the request of the party exercising the option to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans or Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests pursuant to Section 7.01(b) or Section 7.01(c), respectively), and subsequently receives, an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of such requesting party), addressed to the Securities Administrator and any NIMS Insurer to the effect that the failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 7.03 will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event:
(i)
Within 89 days prior to the time of the making of the final payment on the Certificates (other than the Class LT-R Certificates, in the case of a purchase of the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests, upon notification by the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, any NIMS Insurer or an Affiliate of the Seller that it intends to exercise its option to cause the termination of the Trust Fund or purchase the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests, the Securities Administrator shall adopt a plan of complete liquidation on behalf of each REMIC (other than REMIC 1, in the case of a purchase of the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests), meeting the requirements of a qualified liquidation under the REMIC Provisions;
(ii)
Any sale of the assets of the Trust Fund or the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests pursuant to Section 7.02 shall be a sale for cash and shall occur at or after the time of adoption of such a plan of complete liquidation and prior to the time of making of the final payment on the Certificates (other than the Class LT-R Certificates, in the case of a purchase of the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests);
(iii)
On the date specified for final payment of the Certificates (other than the Class LT-R Certificates, in the case of a purchase of the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests), the Securities Administrator shall make final distributions of principal and interest on such Certificates and shall pay, in the case of a Trust Fund Termination Event, any Swap Termination Payment owed to the Swap Counterparty on the related Swap Payment Date (to the extent not paid on previous Swap Payment Dates) in accordance with Section 5.02. In the case of a Trust Fund Termination Event, and, after payment of, or provision for any outstanding expenses, the Securities Administrator shall distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited, to the Holders of the Residual Certificates all cash on hand after such final payment (other than cash retained to meet claims), and the Trust Fund (and each REMIC) shall terminate at that time; and
(iv)
In no event may the final payment on the Certificates or the final distribution or credit to the Holders of the Residual Certificates in respect of the residual interest in any liquidated REMIC be made after the 89th day from the date on which the plan of complete liquidation for such REMIC is adopted.
(b)
By its acceptance of a Residual Certificate, each Holder thereof hereby agrees to accept the plan of complete liquidation prepared by the Depositor and adopted by the Securities Administrator under this Section and to take such other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Master Servicer or any Servicer.
(c)
In connection with the termination of the Trust Fund, or a Section 7.01(c) Purchase Event, the Securities Administrator may request an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Securities Administrator (at the expense of the Depositor) to the effect that all the requirements of a qualified liquidation under the REMIC Provisions have been met.
Section 7.04
Optional Repurchase Right.
The NIMS Insurer, if any, may repurchase any Distressed Mortgage Loan for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, plus accrued interest thereon to the date of repurchase plus any unreimbursed Advances, Servicing Advances or Servicing Fees allocable to such Distressed Mortgage Loan. Any such repurchase shall be accomplished by the NIMS Insurer’s remittance of the purchase price for the Distressed Mortgage Loan to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Certificate Account. The NIMS Insurer shall not use any procedure in selecting Distressed Mortgage Loans to be repurchased which would be materially adverse to Certificateholders.

Whenever such execution is by an officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership on behalf of such corporation or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority.

Such financial statements shall include a balance sheet, income statement, statement of retained earnings, statement of additional paid-in capital, statement of changes in financial position and all related notes and schedules and shall be in comparative form, certified by a nationally recognized firm of Independent Accountants to the effect that such statements were examined and prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.
Section 9.04
Power to Act; Procedures.
(a)
The Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and authority, subject to the REMIC Provisions and the provisions of Article X hereof, and each Servicer shall have full power and authority (to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement) to do any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to the power and authority (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages, (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the applicable Servicing Agreement, as applicable; provided that the Master Servicer shall not take, or knowingly permit any Servicer to take, any action that is inconsistent with or prejudices the interests of the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan or the rights and interests of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificateholders under this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall represent and protect the interests of the Trust Fund in the same manner as it protects its own interests in mortgage loans in its own portfolio in any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan and shall not make or knowingly permit any Servicer to make any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would cause an Adverse REMIC Event. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer in its own name or in the name of a Servicer, and each Servicer, to the extent such authority is delegated to such Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee when the Master Servicer or such Servicer, as the case may be, believes it appropriate in its best judgment and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the applicable Servicing Agreement, to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself and the Certificateholders, the Trustee or any of them, 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 with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. The Trustee shall furnish to the Master Servicer, upon request, with any powers of attorney empowering the Master Servicer or any Servicer to execute and deliver instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and to foreclose upon or otherwise liquidate Mortgaged Property, and to appeal, prosecute or defend in any court action relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Property, in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such other documents, as the Master Servicer may request, necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to master service the Mortgage Loans and carry out its duties hereunder and to allow each Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans, in each case in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices (and the Trustee shall have no liability for misuse of any such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer or any Servicer). If the Master Servicer or the Trustee has been advised that it is likely that the laws of the state in which action is to be taken prohibit such action if taken in the name of the Trustee or that the Trustee would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state if such action is taken in its name, then upon request of the Trustee the Master Servicer shall join with the Trustee in the appointment of a co-trustee pursuant to Section 6.09 hereof. In no event shall the Master Servicer, without the Trustee’s written consent: (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s name without indicating the Master Servicer in its applicable, representative capacity, so long as the jurisdictional and procedural rules will allow for this insertion to occur, (ii) initiate any action, suit or proceeding not directly relating to the servicing of a Mortgage Loan (including but not limited to actions, suits or proceedings against Certificateholders, or against the Depositor or the Transferor for breaches of representations and warranties) solely under the Trustee’s name, (iii) engage counsel to represent the Trustee in any action, suit or proceeding not directly relating to the servicing of a Mortgage Loan (including but not limited to actions, suits or proceedings against Certificateholders, or against the Depositor or the Transferor for breaches of representations and warranties), or (iv) prepare, execute or deliver any government filings, forms, permits, registrations or other documents or take any action with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state. The Master Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee for any and all costs, liabilities and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with the negligent or willful misuse of such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer. In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be an independent contractor and shall not, except in those instances where it is taking action in the name of the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund, be deemed to be the agent of the Trustee.
(b)
In master servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall employ procedures and exercise the same care that it customarily employs and exercises in master servicing and administering loans for its own account, giving due consideration to Accepted Servicing Practices where such practices do not conflict with this Agreement. Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may, and may permit any Servicer to, in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge (but not any Prepayment Premium, except as set forth below) and (ii) extend the due dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period not greater than 120 days; provided, however, that the maturity of any Mortgage Loan shall not be extended past the date on which the final payment is due on the latest maturing Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date. In the event of any extension described in clause (ii) above, the Master Servicer shall make or cause such Servicer (if required by the applicable Servicing Agreement) to make Advances on the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.04 on the basis of the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such extension. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not make or knowingly permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any material term of any Mortgage Loan, unless: (1) such Mortgage Loan is in default or default by the related Mortgagor is, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or the related Servicer, reasonably foreseeable, (2) in the case of a waiver of a Prepayment Premium, (a) such Mortgage Loan is in default or default by the related Mortgagor is, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or the related Servicer, reasonably foreseeable and such waiver would maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Premium and the related Mortgage Loan or (b) if the prepayment is not the result of a refinance by the Servicer or any of its affiliates and (i) such Mortgage Loan is in default or default by the related Mortgagor is, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or the related Servicer, reasonably foreseeable and such waiver would maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Premium and the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) the collection of the Prepayment Premium would be in violation of applicable law or (iii) the collection of such Prepayment Premium would be considered “predatory” pursuant to written guidance published or issued by any applicable federal, state or local regulatory authority acting in its official capacity and having jurisdiction over such matters and (3) the Master Servicer shall have provided or caused to be provided to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee (which opinion shall, if provided by the Master Servicer, be an expense reimbursed from the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 4.02(v)) to the effect that such modification, waiver or amendment would not result in an Adverse REMIC Event; provided, in no event shall an Opinion of Counsel be required for the waiver of a Prepayment Premium under clause (2) above.
Section 9.05
Enforcement of Servicer’s and Master Servicer’s Obligations.
(a)
Each Servicing Agreement requires the applicable Servicer, respectively, to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions thereof. References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer include actions taken or to be taken by a Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer. Any fees and other amounts payable to a Servicer shall be deducted from amounts remitted to the Master Servicer by such Servicer (to the extent permitted by the applicable Servicing Agreement) and shall not be an obligation of the Trust Fund, the Trustee or the Master Servicer.
(b)
The Master Servicer shall not be required to (i) take any action with respect to the servicing of any Mortgage Loan that the related Servicer is not required to take under the related Servicing Agreement and (ii) cause a Servicer to take any action or refrain from taking any action if the related Servicing Agreement does not require such Servicer to take such action or refrain from taking such action; in both cases notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement that requires the Master Servicer to take such action or cause such Servicer to take such action.
(c)
The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee, any NIMS Insurer and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement, and shall, in the event that a Servicer fails to perform its obligations in accordance therewith, terminate the rights and obligations of such Servicer thereunder and either act as servicer of the related Mortgage Loans or cause the other parties hereto to enter into a Servicing Agreement (and such parties hereby agree to execute and deliver any such successor Servicing Agreement), with a successor Servicer. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of 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 initially (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement only to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed, and then, (iii) to the extent that such amounts are insufficient to reimburse the Master Servicer for the costs of such enforcement, from the Certificate Account.
(d)
The Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any certifications, reports or other information provided by the Servicers under the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement, in its preparation of any certifications, filings or reports, in accordance with the terms hereof or as may be required by applicable law or regulation.
Section 9.06
Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items.
(a)
To the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall cause each Servicer to establish and maintain one or more custodial accounts at a depository institution (which may be a depository institution with which the Master Servicer or any Servicer establishes accounts in the ordinary course of its servicing activities), the accounts of which are insured to the maximum extent permitted by the FDIC (each, an “Escrow Account”) and to deposit therein any collections of amounts received with respect to amounts due for taxes, assessments, water rates, standard hazard insurance policy premiums, Payaheads, if applicable, or any comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors. Withdrawals from any Escrow Account may be made (to the extent amounts have been escrowed for such purpose) only in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement. Each Servicer shall be entitled to all investment income not required to be paid to Mortgagors on any Escrow Account maintained by such Servicer. The Master Servicer shall make (or cause to be made) to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement advances to the extent necessary in order to effect timely payment of taxes, water rates, assessments, standard hazard insurance policy premiums or comparable items in connection with the related Mortgage Loan (to the extent that the Mortgagor is required, but fails, to pay such items), provided that it or the applicable Servicer has determined that the funds so advanced are recoverable from escrow payments, reimbursement pursuant to Section 4.02 or otherwise.
(b)
Costs incurred by the Master Servicer or by any Servicer in effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on the properties subject to the Mortgage Loans may be added to the amount owing under the related Mortgage Note where the terms of the Mortgage Note so permit; provided, however, that the addition of any such cost shall not be taken into account for purposes of calculating the distributions to be made to Certificateholders. Such costs, to the extent that they are unanticipated, extraordinary costs, and not ordinary or routine costs shall be recoverable as a Servicing Advance by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02.
Section 9.07
Termination of Servicing Agreements; Successor Servicers.
(a)
The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of any Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Servicing Agreement and without any limitation by virtue of this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event of termination of any Servicing Agreement by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall provide for the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by a successor Servicer to be appointed as provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement.
The parties acknowledge that notwithstanding the preceding sentence, there may be a transition period, not to exceed 90 days, in order to effect the transfer of servicing to a successor Servicer. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from each Servicer (or by the Trust Fund, if the Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all costs associated with the transfer of servicing from the predecessor servicer, including without limitation, any costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data, as may be required by the Master Servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the Master Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans properly and effectively.
(b)
If the Master Servicer acts as a successor Servicer, it will not assume liability for the representations and warranties of a Servicer, if any, that it replaces. The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to have the successor Servicer assume liability for the representations and warranties made by the terminated Servicer in the related Servicing Agreement, and in the event of any such assumption by the successor Servicer, the Trustee or the Master Servicer, as applicable, may, in the exercise of its business judgment, release the terminated Servicer from liability for such representations and warranties.
(c)
If the Master Servicer acts as a successor Servicer, it will have the same obligations to make Advances as the Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement and to reimburse the successor Servicer for unreimbursed Advances if required by the Servicing Agreement but will have no obligation to make an Advance if it determines in its reasonable judgment that such Advance is non-recoverable. To the extent that the Master Servicer is unable to find a successor Servicer that is willing to service the Mortgage Loans for the Servicing Fee because of the obligation of the Servicer to make Advances regardless of whether such Advance is recoverable, the applicable Servicing Agreement may be amended to provide that the successor Servicer shall have no obligation to make an Advance if it determines in its reasonable judgment that such Advance is non-recoverable and provides an Officer’s Certificate to such effect to the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer.
Section 9.08
Master Servicer Liable for Enforcement.
Notwithstanding any Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Trustee, any NIMS Insurer and the Certificateholders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent of its obligations hereunder, without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Servicing Agreements. The Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Mortgage Loans are serviced in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the provisions of each Servicing Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders and any NIMS Insurer. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Servicer for indemnification of the Master Servicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Master Servicer shall have no liability for the acts or omissions of any Servicer in the performance by such Servicer of its obligations under the related Servicing Agreement.
Section 9.09
No Contractual Relationship Between Any Servicer and Trustee or Depositor.
Any Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving any Servicer in its capacity as such and not as an originator shall be deemed to be between such Servicer, the Seller and the Master Servicer, and the Trustee, any NIMS Insurer and the Depositor shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to such Servicer except as set forth in Section 9.10 hereof, but shall have rights thereunder as third party beneficiaries. It is furthermore understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the obligations of any Servicer are set forth in their entirety in such Servicer’s related Servicing Agreement and such Servicer has no obligations under and is not otherwise bound by the terms of this Agreement.
Section 9.10
Assumption of Servicing Agreement by Securities Administrator.
(a)
In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer (including by reason of any Event of Default under this Agreement), the Trustee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of such Master Servicer hereunder and under each Servicing Agreement entered into with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Trustee, its designee or any successor master servicer appointed by the Trustee shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer’s interest herein and therein to the same extent as if such Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party, except that the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations of the Master Servicer under such Servicing Agreement accruing prior to its replacement as Master Servicer, and shall be liable to the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer, and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer from and against all costs, damages, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or any NIMS Insurer as a result of such liability or obligations of the Master Servicer and in connection with the Trustee’s assumption (but not its performance, except to the extent that costs or liability of the Trustee are created or increased as a result of negligent or wrongful acts or omissions of the Master Servicer prior to its replacement as Master Servicer) of the Master Servicer’s obligations, duties or responsibilities thereunder.
(b)
The Master Servicer that has been terminated shall, upon request of the Trustee but at the expense of such Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Servicing Agreement and the related Mortgage Loans and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of each Servicing Agreement to the assuming party.
Section 9.11
Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
To the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, to the extent Mortgage Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master Servicer shall cause the related Servicer to enforce such clauses in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement. If applicable law prohibits the enforcement of a due-on-sale clause or such clause is otherwise not enforced in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement, and, as a consequence, a Mortgage Loan is assumed, the original Mortgagor may be released from liability in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement.
Section 9.12
Release of Mortgage Files.
(a)
Upon (i) becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan or (ii) the receipt by the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been or will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer will, or will cause the related Servicer to, promptly notify the Trustee (or the Custodian) and the Securities Administrator by a certification (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment that are required to be deposited in the Certificate Account have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request (on the form attached hereto as Exhibit C or on the form attached to the related Custodial Agreement) the Trustee or the Custodian, to deliver to the applicable Servicer the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Trustee or the Custodian (with the consent, and at the direction of the Trustee), shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the applicable Servicer and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. Upon any such payment in full, the Master Servicer is authorized, and each Servicer, to the extent such authority is provided for under the applicable Servicing Agreement, is authorized, to give, as agent for the Trustee, as the mortgagee under the Mortgage that secured the Mortgage Loan, an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of mortgage without recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor of such payment, it being understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be chargeable to the Certificate Account.
(b)
From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the applicable Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall execute such documents as shall be prepared and furnished to the Trustee by the Master Servicer, or by a Servicer (in form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) and as are necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. The Trustee or the Custodian, shall, upon request of the Master Servicer, or of a Servicer, and delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian, of a request for release of documents and a receipt signed by a Servicing Officer substantially in the form of Exhibit C, release the related Mortgage File held in its possession or control to the Master Servicer (or the applicable Servicer). Such receipt shall obligate the Master Servicer or Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, when the need therefor by the Master Servicer or Servicer no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that hereinabove specified, the receipt shall be released by the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, to the Master Servicer (or the applicable Servicer).
Section 9.13
Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Master Servicer to be Held for Trustee.
(a)
The Master Servicer shall transmit, or cause the applicable Servicer to transmit, to the Trustee such documents and instruments coming into the possession of the Master Servicer or such Servicer from time to time as are required by the terms hereof or of the applicable Servicing Agreement to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian. Any funds received by the Master Servicer or by a Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loan or which otherwise are collected by the Master Servicer or a Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan shall be held for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders subject to the Master Servicer’s right to retain or withdraw from the Certificate Account the Master Servicing Fee and other amounts provided in this Agreement and to the right of each Servicer to retain its Servicing Fee and other amounts as provided in the related Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall, and shall (to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement) cause each Servicer to, provide access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, any NIMS Insurer, their respective agents and accountants at any time upon reasonable request and during normal business hours, and to Certificateholders that are savings and loan associations, banks or insurance companies, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of such Office and Corporation or examiners of any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority if so required by applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision or other regulatory authority, such access to be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request in writing and during normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it. In fulfilling such a request the Master Servicer shall not be responsible for determining the sufficiency of such information.
(b)
All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the Master Servicer, or any Servicer, in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, shall be held by the Master Servicer, or by any Servicer, for and on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee; provided, however, that the Master Servicer and each Servicer shall be entitled to setoff against, and deduct from, any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master Servicer or such Servicer under this Agreement or the applicable Servicing Agreement and shall be authorized to remit such funds to the Securities Administrator in accordance with this Agreement.
(c)
The Master Servicer hereby acknowledges that concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Trustee shall own or, to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall deem the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans from the Seller to the Depositor not to constitute a sale, the Trustee shall have a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and in all Mortgage Files representing such Mortgage Loans and in all funds and investment property now or hereafter held by, or under the control of, a Servicer or the Master Servicer that are collected by any Servicer or the Master Servicer in connection with the Mortgage Loans, whether as scheduled installments of principal and interest or as full or partial prepayments of principal or interest or as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds or otherwise, and in all proceeds of the foregoing and proceeds of proceeds (but excluding any fee or other amounts to which a Servicer is entitled under the applicable Servicing Agreement, or the Master Servicer or the Depositor is entitled to hereunder); and the Master Servicer agrees that so long as the Mortgage Loans are assigned to and held by the Trustee or the Custodian, all documents or instruments constituting part of the Mortgage Files, and such funds relating to the Mortgage Loans which come into the possession or custody of, or which are subject to the control of, the Master Servicer or any Servicer shall be held by the Master Servicer or such Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee as the Trustee’s agent and bailee for purposes of perfecting the Trustee’s security interest therein as provided by the applicable Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable laws.
(d)
The Master Servicer agrees that it shall not, and shall not authorize any Servicer to, create, incur or subject any Mortgage Loans, or any funds that are deposited in any Custodial Account, Escrow Account or the Certificate Account, or any funds that otherwise are or may become due or payable to the Trustee, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, nor assert by legal action or otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage Loan or any funds collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan.

ARTICLE X
REMIC ADMINISTRATION
Section 10.01
REMIC Administration.
(a)
REMIC elections as set forth in the Preliminary Statement shall be made on Forms 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued. The regular interests and residual interest in each REMIC shall be as designated in the Preliminary Statement. For purposes of such designations, the interest rate of any regular interest that is computed by taking into account the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates of the Mortgage Loans shall be reduced by the amount of any expense paid by the Trust to the extent that (i) such expense was not taken into account in computing the Net Mortgage Rate of any Mortgage Loan, (ii) such expense does not constitute an “unanticipated expense” of a REMIC within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii) and (iii) the amount of such expense was not taken into account in computing the interest rate of a more junior Class of regular interests.
(b)
The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “Startup Day” of each REMIC within the meaning of section 860G(a)(9) of the Code. The latest possible maturity date for purposes of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-1(a)(4) will be the Latest Possible Maturity Date.
(c)
The Securities Administrator shall represent the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto. The Securities Administrator shall pay any and all tax related expenses (not including taxes) of each REMIC, including but not limited to any professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to such REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities, but only to the extent that (i) such expenses are ordinary or routine expenses, including expenses of a routine audit but not expenses of litigation (except as described in (ii)); or (ii) such expenses or liabilities (including taxes and penalties) are attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of the Securities Administrator in fulfilling its duties hereunder (including its duties as tax return preparer). The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement of expenses to the extent provided in clause (i) above from the Certificate Account, provided, however, the Securities Administrator shall not be entitled to reimbursement for expenses incurred in connection with the preparation of tax returns and other reports as required by Section 6.20 and this Section.
(d)
The Securities Administrator shall prepare, the Trustee shall sign and the Securities Administrator shall file, all of each REMIC’s federal and appropriate state tax and information returns as such REMIC’s direct representative. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Securities Administrator.
(e)
The Securities Administrator or its designee shall perform on behalf of each 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, if required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other such guidance, the Securities Administrator shall provide (i) to the Treasury or other governmental authority such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to any disqualified person or organization pursuant to Treasury Regulation 1.860E-2(a)(5) and any person designated in Section 860E(e)(3) of the Code and (ii) to the Trustee such information as is necessary for the Trustee to provide to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or REMIC Provisions.
The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to receive reasonable compensation from the Trust for the performance of its duties under this subsection (e); provided, however, that such compensation shall not exceed $5,000 per year.
(f)
The Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Holders of Certificates shall take any action or cause any REMIC to take any action necessary to create or maintain the status of any REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to create or maintain such status. Neither the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer nor the Holder of any Residual Certificate shall knowingly take any action, cause any REMIC to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could result in an Adverse REMIC Event unless the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, any NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC or the assets therein, or causing any REMIC to take any action, which is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, any Holder of a Residual Certificate will consult with the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, any NIMS Insurer or their respective designees, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any REMIC, and no such Person shall take any such action or cause any REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or any NIMS Insurer has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.
(g)
Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed on the related REMIC by federal or state governmental authorities. To the extent that such taxes are not paid by a Residual Certificateholder, the Trustee shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Residual Certificate in any such REMIC or, if no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in the Certificate Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to holders of regular interests in any such REMIC, as the case may be.
(h)
The Securities Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.
(i)
No additional contributions of assets shall be made to any REMIC, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
(j)
Neither the Securities Administrator nor the Master Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which any REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services.
(k)
On or before October 15 of each calendar year beginning in 2006, the Securities Administrator shall deliver to the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer an Officer’s Certificate stating, without regard to any actions taken by any party other than the Securities Administrator, the Securities Administrator’s compliance with provisions of this Section 10.01.
(l)
The Securities Administrator shall treat each of the Basis Risk Reserve Fund and the Supplemental Interest Trust as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h) that is owned by the Holders of the Class X Certificates and that is not an asset of any REMIC and all amounts deposited into the Basis Risk Reserve Fund or the Supplemental Interest Trust shall be treated as amounts distributed to the Class X Certificateholders.
(m)
For federal income tax purposes, upon any sale of the property held by the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 7.01(b), any NIM Redemption Amount paid by the Master Servicer shall not be treated as a portion of the purchase price paid for such property but shall instead be treated as an amount paid by the Master Servicer to the Holder of the Class X Certificates in exchange for an interest in the Class X Certificates immediately before the purchase of the property held by the Trust Fund.
(n)
The Securities Administrator shall treat the beneficial owners of Certificates (other than the Class P, Class X, Class LT-R and Class R Certificates) as having entered into a notional principal contract with respect to the beneficial owners of the Class X Certificates. Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all beneficial owners of LIBOR Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the beneficial owners of the Class X Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount payable on such Distribution Date on the interest in the Upper Tier REMIC corresponding to such Class of Certificates over (ii) the amount payable on such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such excess, a “Class I Shortfall”). A Class I Shortfall payable from interest collections shall be allocated to each Class of Certificates to the extent that interest accrued on such Class for the related Accrual Period at the Certificate Interest Rate for a Class, computed by substituting “REMIC 3 Net Funds Cap” for the applicable “Net Funds Cap” in the definition thereof, exceeds the amount of interest accrued for the related Accrual Period based on the applicable Net Funds Cap, and a Class I Shortfall payable from principal collections shall be allocated to the most subordinate Class of Certificates with an outstanding principal balance to the extent of such balance. In addition, pursuant to such notional principal contract, the beneficial owner of the Class X Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay Basis Risk Shortfalls and Unpaid Basis Risk Shortfalls to the Owners of the LIBOR Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any payments to the Certificates in light of the foregoing shall not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1). However, any payment from the Certificates of a Class I Shortfall shall be treated for tax purposes as having been received by the beneficial owners of such Certificates in respect of their Interests in the Upper Tier REMIC and as having been paid by such beneficial owners to the Supplemental Interest Trust pursuant to the notional principal contract. Thus, each Certificate (other than a Class P, Class R and Class LT-R Certificates) shall be treated as representing not only ownership of regular interests in the Upper Tier REMIC, but also ownership of an interest in (and obligations with respect to) a notional principal contract. For tax purposes, the notional principal contract shall be deemed to have a value in favor of the Certificates entitled to receive Basis Risk Shortfalls and Unpaid Basis Risk Shortfalls of $45,147.94 as of the Closing Date.
(o)
Notwithstanding the priority and sources of payments set forth in Article V hereof or otherwise, the Securities Administrator shall account for all distributions on the Certificates as set forth in this Section 10.01. In no event shall any payments of Basis Risk Shortfalls or Unpaid Basis Risk Shortfalls provided for in this Section 10.01 be treated as payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1).
Section 10.02
Prohibited Transactions and Activities.
Neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall sell, dispose of, or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans, except in a disposition pursuant to (i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Trust Fund, (iii) the termination of each REMIC pursuant to Article VII of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant to Article II of this Agreement or (v) a repurchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II of this Agreement, nor acquire any assets for any REMIC, nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Certificate Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to any REMIC after the Closing Date, unless the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer has received an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee (at the expense of the party causing such sale, disposition, or substitution) that such disposition, acquisition, substitution, or acceptance will not (a) result in an Adverse REMIC Event, (b) affect the distribution of interest or principal on the Certificates or (c) result in the encumbrance of the assets transferred or assigned to the Trust Fund (except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement).
Section 10.03
Indemnification with Respect to Certain Taxes and Loss of REMIC Status.
Upon the occurrence of an Adverse REMIC Event due to the negligent performance by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, of its duties and obligations set forth herein, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall indemnify any NIMS Insurer, the Holder of the related Residual Certificate or the Trust Fund, as applicable, against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (“Losses”) resulting solely from such negligence; provided, however, that neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Class X Certificateholders, the Holder of such Residual Certificate or the Securities Administrator (with regard to the Trustee), as applicable, nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of such Residual Certificate on which the Securities Administrator has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of the Holder of such Residual Certificate now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, have any liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and in compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than arising out of a negligent performance by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, of its duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the Certificates); provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply in connection with any failure by the Securities Administrator to comply with the provisions of Subsections 6.01(l) hereof and Subsections 9.25(a) or (b) hereof. In addition, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall have any liability for the actions or failure to act of the other.
Section 10.04
REO Property.
(a)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Master Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall not, except to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, knowingly permit any Servicer to, rent, lease, or otherwise earn income on behalf of any REMIC with respect to any REO Property which might cause an Adverse REMIC Event unless the Master Servicer has advised, or has caused the applicable Servicer to advise, the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer in writing to the effect that, under the REMIC Provisions, such action would not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.
(b)
The Master Servicer shall cause the applicable Servicer (to the extent provided in its Servicing Agreement) to make reasonable efforts to sell any REO Property for its fair market value. In any event, however, the Master Servicer shall, or shall cause the applicable Servicer (to the extent provided in its Servicing Agreement) to, dispose of any REO Property within three years of its acquisition by the Trust Fund unless the Master Servicer has received a grant of extension from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that, under the REMIC Provisions, the REMIC may hold REO Property for a longer period without causing an Adverse REMIC Event. If the Master Servicer has received such an extension, then the Trustee, or the Master Servicer, acting on its behalf hereunder, shall, or shall cause the applicable Servicer to, continue to attempt to sell the REO Property for its fair market value for such period longer than three years as such extension permits (the “Extended Period”). If the Trustee has not received such an extension and the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, is unable to sell the REO Property within 33 months after its acquisition by the Trust Fund or if the Master Servicer has received such an extension, and the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer is unable to sell the REO Property within the period ending three months before the close of the Extended Period, the Master Servicer shall cause the applicable Servicer, before the end of the three year period or the Extended Period, as applicable, to (i) purchase such REO Property at a price equal to the REO Property’s fair market value or (ii) auction the REO Property to the highest bidder (which may be the applicable Servicer) in an auction reasonably designed to produce a fair price prior to the expiration of the three-year period or the Extended Period, as the case may be.

For purposes of this paragraph, references to “Holder” or “Holders” shall be deemed to include, in the case of any Class of Book-Entry Certificates, the related Certificate Owners.
(c)
After a Section 7.01(c) Purchase Event but on or prior to a Trust Fund Termination Event, this Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the LTURI-holder and the Trustee, but without the consent of the Credit Risk Manager, the Cap Counterparty or the Swap Counterparty (except to the extent that the rights or obligations of (1) the Credit Risk Manager, the Cap Counterparty or the Swap Counterparty hereunder or (2) the Cap Counterparty or the Swap Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or the Swap Agreement, respectively, or the ability of the Trustee on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust and the Trust Fund to perform fully and timely its obligations under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or the Swap Agreement, as applicable, is adversely affected, in which case prior written consent of the Credit Risk Manager, the Cap Counterparty or the Swap Counterparty, as applicable, is required). Prior to entering into any amendment without the consent of Holders pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee and the Swap Counterparty shall be provided with an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee, any NIMS Insurer and the Swap Counterparty (at the expense of the party requesting such amendment) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under this Section and will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.

(e)
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Holders under this Section 11.03 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 Holders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
(f)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall not consent to any amendment of any Servicing Agreement unless (i) such amendment is effected pursuant to the standards provided in Section 11.03(a) or 11.03(b) with respect to amendment of this Agreement and (ii) except for a Permitted Servicing Amendment, any such amendment pursuant to Section 11.03(a)(iii) shall not be materially inconsistent with the provisions of such Servicing Agreement.

The Seller agrees that it shall provide written notice to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Swap Counterparty, any NIMS Insurer and the Trustee thirty days prior to any proposed transfer or assignment by such Seller of its rights under any Servicing Agreement or of the servicing thereunder or delegation of its rights or duties thereunder or any portion thereof to any other Person other than the initial Servicer under such Servicing Agreement; provided that the Seller shall not be required to provide prior notice of (i) any transfer of servicing that occurs within three months following the Closing Date to an entity that is a Servicer on the Closing Date or (ii) any assignment of any Servicing rights from one Seller to the other Seller. In addition, the ability of the Seller to transfer or assign its rights and delegate its duties under a Servicing Agreement or to transfer the servicing thereunder to a successor servicer shall be subject to the following conditions:

satisfaction of the conditions to such transfer as set forth in the applicable Servicing Agreement including, without limitation, receipt of written consent of any NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer to such transfer;
(ii)
Such successor servicer must be qualified to service loans for Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, and must be a member in good standing of MERS;

(v)
If the successor servicer is not a Servicer of Mortgage Loans at the time of the transfer, there must be delivered to the Trustee and the Master Servicer a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such transfer of servicing will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of the then-current rating of any of the Certificates; and
(vi)
