PRELIMINARY
STATEMENT:
The
Depositor intends to sell pass-through certificates to be issued hereunder
in
multiple classes, which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial
ownership interest in each REMIC (as defined herein) created hereunder. The
Trust Fund will consist of a pool of assets comprised of the Mortgage Loans
and
certain other related assets subject to this Agreement.
REMIC

As
provided herein, the Trust Administrator will elect to treat the segregated
pool
of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other related assets
(other than any Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts, the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account, the Cap Account, the Cap Administration Agreement
and
the Interest Rate Cap Agreement) subject to this Agreement as a REMIC for
federal income tax purposes, and such pool of assets will be designated as
“REMIC I.” The Class R-I Interest will be the sole class of “residual interests”
in REMIC I for purposes of the REMIC Provisions (as defined herein). The
following table irrevocably sets forth the designation, the REMIC I Remittance
Rate, the initial Uncertificated Balance and, for purposes of satisfying
Treasury regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the “latest possible maturity
date” for each of the REMIC I Regular Interests (as defined herein). None of the

reporting service in general use in the financial services industry, as of
11:00
a.m. (London time) on such Interest Determination Date; provided that if such

case of a partnership, to the extent provided in regulations); provided that,
for purposes solely of the restrictions on the transfer of the Residual
Certificates, no partnership or other entity treated as a partnership for United
States federal income tax purposes shall be treated as a United States Person
unless all persons that own an interest in such partnership either directly
or
through any entity that is not a corporation for United States federal income
tax purposes are required by the applicable operative agreement to be United
States Persons, or an estate whose income is subject to United States federal
income tax regardless of its source, or a trust if a court within the United
States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the
trust and one or more United States Persons have the authority to control all
substantial decisions of the trust. To the extent prescribed in regulations
by
the Secretary of the Treasury, which have not yet been issued, a trust which
was
in existence on August 20, 1996 (other than a trust treated as owned by the
grantor under subpart E of part I of subchapter J of chapter 1 of the Code),
and
which was treated as a United States person on August 20, 1996 may elect to
continue to be treated as a United States person notwithstanding the previous
sentence. The term “United States” shall have the meaning set forth in Section
7701 of the Code.
“Value”:
With respect to any Mortgaged Property, the lesser of (i) the value thereof
as
determined by an appraisal made for the related Originator of the Mortgage
Loan
at the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan and (ii) the purchase price
paid
for the related Mortgaged Property by the Mortgagor with the proceeds of the
Mortgage Loan, provided, however, in the case of a Refinanced Mortgage Loan,
such value of the Mortgaged Property is based solely upon the value determined
by an appraisal made for the related Originator of such Refinanced Mortgage
Loan
at the time of origination of such Refinanced Mortgage Loan by an
appraiser.
“Voting
Rights”: The portion of the voting rights of all of the Certificates which is
allocated to any Certificate. With respect to any date of determination, 98%
of
all Voting Rights will be allocated among the holders of the Class A
Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates in proportion to the then
outstanding Certificate Principal Balances of their respective Certificates,
1%
of all Voting Rights will be allocated to the holders of the Class P
Certificates and 1% of all Voting Rights will be allocated among the holders
of
the Class CE-1 Certificates. The Residual Certificates and the Class CE-2
Certificates will not have any Voting Rights. The Voting Rights allocated to
each Class of Certificate shall be allocated among Holders of each such Class
in
accordance with their respective Percentage Interests as of the most recent
Record Date.
SECTION 1.02 |

of Certain Interest Shortfalls.
|
For
purposes of calculating the Interest Distribution Amount for the Floating Rate

based on, and to the extent of, one month’s interest at the then applicable
respective Pass-Through Rate on the respective Certificate Principal Balance
of
each such Certificate immediately prior to such Distribution Date.
For
purposes of calculating the amount of Uncertificated Interest for the REMIC
I

on, and to the extent of, one month’s interest at the then applicable respective
REMIC I Remittance Rate on the respective Uncertificated Balance of each such
REMIC I Regular Interest; and
(B) The
REMIC
I Sub WAC Allocation Percentage of the aggregate amount of any Prepayment
Interest Shortfalls (to the extent not covered by payments by the Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.24) and the REMIC I Sub WAC Allocation Percentage of
any
Relief Act Interest Shortfalls incurred in respect of the Mortgage Loans for

Distribution Date shall be allocated first, to Uncertificated Interest payable
to REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT1SUB, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT1GRP, REMIC
I
Regular Interest I-LT2SUB, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT2GRP and REMIC I Regular

CONVEYANCE
OF MORTGAGE LOANS; ORIGINAL
ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES
SECTION 2.01 |
Conveyance
of Mortgage Loans.
|
The
Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, does hereby
transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Trustee without recourse
for the benefit of the Certificateholders all the right, title and interest
of
the Depositor, including any security interest therein for the benefit of the
Depositor, in and to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule, the rights of the Depositor under the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, payments made to the Trust Administrator by the Cap Administrator
under the Cap Administration Agreement and the Cap Account, and all other assets
included or to be included in REMIC I. Such assignment includes all interest
and
principal received by the Depositor or the Servicer on or with respect to the
Mortgage Loans (other than payments of principal and interest due on such
Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date). The Depositor herewith delivers
to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator an executed copy of the Mortgage
Loan
Purchase Agreement, and the Trustee and the Trust Administrator acknowledge
receipt of the same on behalf of the Certificateholders.
In
connection with such transfer and assignment, the Depositor does hereby deliver
to, and deposit with, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf, the following
documents or instruments (a “Mortgage File”) with respect to each Mortgage Loan
so transferred and assigned:
(i) The
Mortgage Note including
all riders thereto,
endorsed by manual or facsimile signature without recourse by the related
Originator or an Affiliate of such Originator in blank or in the following
form:
“Pay to the order of U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee for the CMLTI
Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-AMC3, without recourse,”
showing a complete chain of endorsements from the named payee to the Trustee
or
from the named payee to the Affiliate of such Originator and from such Affiliate
to the Trustee;
(ii) The
original recorded Mortgage including all riders thereto, noting the presence
of
the MIN of the Mortgage Loan, if applicable, and language indicating that the
Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan if the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, with evidence
of
recording thereon or a copy of the Mortgage certified by the public recording
office in those jurisdictions where the public recording office retains the
original;
(iii) Unless
the Mortgage Loan is registered on the MERS® System, an assignment from the
related Originator or an Affiliate of such Originator to the Trustee either
in
blank or to “U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee for the CMLTI
Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-AMC3, without recourse” in
recordable form of the Mortgage which may be included, where permitted by local
law, in a blanket assignment or assignments of the Mortgage to the Trustee,
including any intervening assignments and showing a complete chain of title
from
the original mortgagee named under the Mortgage to the Person assigning the
Mortgage Loan to the Trustee (or to MERS, noting the presence of the MIN, if
the
Mortgage Loan is registered on the MERS® System);
(iv) Any
original assumption, modification, buydown or conversion-to- fixed-interest-rate
agreement applicable to the Mortgage Loan; and
(v) The
original or a copy of the title insurance policy (which may be a certificate
or
a short form policy relating to a master policy of title insurance) pertaining
to the Mortgaged Property, or in the event such original title policy is
unavailable, a copy of the preliminary title report and the lender’s recording
instructions, with the original to be delivered within 180 days of the Closing
Date or an attorney’s opinion of title in jurisdictions where such is the
customary evidence of title; or in the event such original or copy of the title
insurance policy is unavailable, a written commitment or uniform binder or
preliminary report of title issued by the title insurance or escrow
company.
In
instances where an original recorded Mortgage cannot be delivered by the
Depositor to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) prior
to or
concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, due to a delay
in connection with the recording of such Mortgage, the Depositor may, (a) in
lieu of delivering such original recorded Mortgage referred to in clause (ii)
above, deliver to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) a
copy
thereof, provided that the Depositor certifies that the original Mortgage has
been delivered to a title insurance company for recordation after receipt of
its
policy of title insurance or binder therefor (which may be a certificate
relating to a master policy of title insurance), and (b) in lieu of delivering
the completed assignment in recordable form referred to in clause (iii) above
to
the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), deliver such assignment
to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) completed except
for
recording information. In all such instances, the Depositor will deliver the
original recorded Mortgage and completed assignment (if applicable) to the
Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) promptly upon receipt of
such Mortgage. In instances where an original recorded Mortgage has been lost
or
misplaced, the Depositor or the related title insurance company may deliver,
in
lieu of such Mortgage, a copy of such Mortgage bearing recordation information
and certified as true and correct by the office in which recordation thereof
was
made. In instances where the original or a copy of the title insurance policy
referred to in clause (v) above (which may be a certificate relating to a master
policy of title insurance) pertaining to the Mortgaged Property relating to
a
Mortgage Loan cannot be delivered by the Depositor to the Trustee (or the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) prior to or concurrently with the execution
and delivery of this Agreement because such policy is not yet available, the
Depositor may, in lieu of delivering the original or a copy of such title
insurance referred to in clause (v) above, deliver to the Trustee (or the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) a binder with respect to such policy (which
may be a certificate relating to a master policy of title insurance) and deliver
the original or a copy of such policy (which may be a certificate relating
to a
master policy of title insurance) to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf
of
the Trustee) within 180 days of the Closing Date. In instances where an original
assumption, modification, buydown or conversion-to-fixed- interest-rate
agreement cannot be delivered by the Depositor to the Trustee (or the Custodian
on behalf of the Trustee) prior to or concurrently with the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor may, in lieu of delivering the
original of such agreement referred to in clause (iv) above, deliver a certified
copy thereof.
To
the
extent not already recorded, except
with respect to any Mortgage Loan for which MERS is identified on the Mortgage
or on a properly recorded assignment of the Mortgage as the mortgagee of record,
the
Servicer, at the expense of the Sponsor shall promptly (and in no event later
than five Business Days following the later of the Closing Date and the date
of
receipt by the Servicer of the recording information for a Mortgage) submit
or
cause to be submitted for recording, at no expense to any Trust REMIC, in the
appropriate public office for real property records, each Assignment delivered
to it pursuant to (iii) above. In the event that any such Assignment is lost
or
returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Servicer, at the expense
of
the Sponsor, shall promptly prepare or cause to be prepared a substitute
Assignment or cure or cause to be cured such defect, as the case may be, and
thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly recorded.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, but without limiting the requirement that such Assignments be
in
recordable form, neither the Servicer nor the Trustee shall be required to
submit or cause to be submitted for recording any Assignment delivered to it
or
the Custodian pursuant to (iii) above if such recordation shall not, as of
the
Closing Date, be required by the Rating Agencies, as a condition to their
assignment on the Closing Date of their initial ratings to the Certificates,
as
evidenced by the delivery by the Rating Agencies of their ratings letters on
the
Closing Date; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer
shall submit each Assignment for recording, at no expense to the Trust Fund
or
the Servicer, upon the earliest to occur of: (A) reasonable direction by Holders
of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights, (B) the
occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default, (C) the occurrence of a bankruptcy,
insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Sponsor, (D) the occurrence of a
servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02 of this Agreement and (E) with
respect to any one Assignment the occurrence of a foreclosure relating to the
Mortgagor under the related Mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Sponsor fails to pay the cost of recording the Assignments, such expense will
be
paid by the Servicer and the Servicer shall be reimbursed for such expenses
by
the Trust as Servicing Advances. In the event an Assignment of Mortgage is
not
recorded or is improperly recorded with respect to a Mortgage Loan, neither
the
Trustee nor the Servicer will have any liability for its failure to receive
or
act on notices with respect to such Mortgage Loan that the Trustee or the
Servicer would have received had such Assignment of Mortgage been
recorded.
In
connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on the MERS
System, the Depositor further agrees that it will cause, within 30 Business
Days
after the Closing Date, the MERS System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans
have been assigned by the Depositor to the Trustee in accordance with this
Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders by including in such
computer files (a) the code in the field which identifies the specific Trustee
and (b) the code in the field “Pool Field” which identifies the series of the
Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans. The Depositor
further agrees that it will not, and will not permit the Servicer to, and the
Servicer agrees that it will not and will not permit a Sub-Servicer to, alter
the codes referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan during
the term of this Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased
in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
With
respect to a maximum of approximately 5.00% of the Original Mortgage Loans,
by
outstanding principal balance of the Original Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date, if any original Mortgage Note referred to in (i) above cannot be located,
the obligations of the Depositor to deliver such documents shall be deemed
to be
satisfied upon delivery to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee) of a photocopy of such Mortgage Note, if available, with a lost note
affidavit. If any of the original Mortgage Notes for which a lost note affidavit
was delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) is
subsequently located, such original Mortgage Note shall be delivered to the
Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) within three Business
Days.
The
Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee (or the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) promptly upon receipt thereof any other
original documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received with respect
to any Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, any original documents
evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any
Mortgage Loan.
All
original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans that are not delivered to
the
Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) are and shall be held by
or
on behalf of the Sponsor, the Depositor or the Servicer, as the case may be,
in
trust for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. In
the
event that any such original document is required pursuant to the terms of
this
Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, such document shall be delivered
promptly to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee). Any such
original document delivered to or held by the Depositor that is not required
pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, shall
be
delivered promptly to the Servicer.
Wherever
it is provided in this Section 2.01 that any document, evidence or information
relating to a Mortgage Loan be delivered or supplied to the Trustee, the
Depositor shall do so by delivery thereof to the Trustee or the Custodian on
behalf of the Trustee.
The
Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Servicer copies of
the
Mortgage Loan Schedule and the Prepayment Charge Schedule.
The
parties hereto understand and agree that it is not intended that any Mortgage
Loan be included in the Trust that is a high-cost home loan as defined by the
Homeownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 or any other applicable
predatory or abusive lending laws.
SECTION 2.02 |
Acceptance
of the Trust Fund by the Trustee.
|
Subject
to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to any exceptions noted on an
exception report delivered by or on behalf of the Trustee, the Trustee
acknowledges receipt of the documents referred to in Section 2.01 (other than
such documents described in Section 2.01(iv)) above and all other assets
included in the definition of “Trust Fund” and declares that it holds and will
hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting the
Mortgage File, and that it holds or will hold all such assets and such other
assets included in the definition of “Trust Fund” in trust for the exclusive use
and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.
The
Trustee, by execution and delivery hereof, acknowledges receipt, subject to
the
review described in the succeeding sentence, of the documents and other property
referred to in Section 2.01 and declares that the Trustee (or the Custodian
on
behalf of the Trustee) holds and will hold such documents and other property,
including property yet to be received in the Trust Fund, in trust, upon the
trusts herein set forth, for the benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders. The Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf shall, for the
benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, review each Mortgage File
within 90 days after execution and delivery of this Agreement, to ascertain
that
all required documents have been executed, received and recorded, if applicable,
and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans. If in the course of such
review the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf finds a document or documents
constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be defective in any material respect,
the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf shall promptly so notify the
Depositor, the Trust Administrator, the Sponsor, the Servicer and, if such
notice is from the Custodian on the Trustee’s behalf, the Trustee. In addition,
upon the discovery by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator
or
the Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties made by
the
Sponsor in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage
Loan
which materially adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the
related Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.
The
Depositor and the Trustee intend that the assignment and transfer herein
contemplated constitute a sale of the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage
Notes
and the related documents, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any
liens and encumbrances, from the Depositor to the Trustee in trust for the
benefit of the Certificateholders and that such property not be part of the
Depositor’s estate or property of the Depositor in the event of any insolvency
by the Depositor. In the event that such conveyance is deemed to be, or to
be
made as security for, a loan, the parties intend that the Depositor shall be
deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Trustee a first priority
perfected security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest
in and to the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Notes and the related
documents, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under
applicable law.
The
Trustee may, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof or at any
time
thereafter, enter into a custodial agreement with the Custodian pursuant to
which the Trustee appoints the Custodian to hold the Mortgage Files on behalf
of
the Trustee for the benefit of the Trustee and all present and future
Certificateholders, which may provide that the Custodian shall, on behalf of
the
Trustee, conduct the review of each Mortgage File required under the first
paragraph of this Section 2.02. Initially, Citibank, N.A. is appointed as
Custodian with respect to the Mortgage Files of all the Mortgage Loans and,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, it is understood that such
initial Custodian shall be responsible for the review contemplated in the second
paragraph of this Section 2.02 and for all other functions relating to the
receipt, review, reporting and certification provided for herein with respect
to
the Mortgage Files (other than ownership thereof for the benefit of the
Certificateholders and related duties and obligations set forth
herein).
SECTION 2.03 |
Repurchase
or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by the Sponsor or the
Depositor.
|
(a) Upon
discovery or receipt of notice by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust
Administrator or the Trustee of any materially defective document in, or that
a
document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of the breach by the Sponsor of
any
representation, warranty or covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects the value
of
such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, the party
so discovering or receiving notice shall promptly notify the other parties
to
this Agreement, and the Trustee thereupon shall promptly notify the Sponsor
of
such defect, missing document or breach and request that the Sponsor deliver
such missing document or cure such defect or that the Sponsor cure such breach
within 90 days from the date the Sponsor was notified of such missing document,
defect or breach, and if the Sponsor does not deliver such missing document
or
cure such defect or breach in all material respects during such period, the
Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Sponsor under the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement (i) to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from REMIC I at the
Purchase Price within 90 days after the date on which the Sponsor was notified
(subject to Section 2.03(e)) of such missing document, defect or breach, and
(ii) to indemnify the Trust Fund in respect of such missing document, defect
or
breach, in the case of each of (i) and (ii), if and to the extent that the
Sponsor is obligated to do so under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The
Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan and any indemnification shall
be remitted by the Sponsor to the Servicer for deposit into the Collection
Account, and the Trust Administrator, upon receipt of written notice from the
Servicer of such deposit, shall give written notice to the Trustee and the
Custodian that such deposit has taken place and the Trustee shall release (or
cause the Custodian to release on its behalf) to the Sponsor the related
Mortgage File, and the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall execute and
deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, as the Sponsor shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest
in the Sponsor any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto, and the Trustee
and
the Trust Administrator shall have no further responsibility with regard to
such
Mortgage File. In furtherance of the foregoing, if the Sponsor is not a member
of MERS and repurchases a Mortgage Loan which is registered on the MERS System,
the Sponsor pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, at its own expense
and without any right of reimbursement, shall cause MERS to execute and deliver
an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from
MERS to the Sponsor and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from
registration on the MERS System in accordance with MERS rules and regulations.
In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, if so provided
in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Sponsor may cause such Mortgage
Loan to be removed from REMIC I (in which case it shall become a Deleted
Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans
in
the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d). It
is
understood and agreed that the obligation of the Sponsor to cure or to
repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document
is
missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which
such
a breach has occurred and is continuing, and if and to the extent provided
in
the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to perform any applicable indemnification
obligations with respect to any such omission, defect or breach, as provided
in
the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, shall constitute the only remedies
respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee or the
Trust
Administrator on behalf of the Certificateholders.
(b) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 2.03, with respect to any breach by
the
Sponsor of any representation and warranty which
breach materially and adversely affects the value of any Prepayment Charge
or
the interests of the Certificateholders therein,
the
Trustee shall enforce the obligation of the Sponsor to remedy such breach as
provided in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement as follows: upon any Principal
Prepayment with respect to the affected Mortgage Loan, the Sponsor shall pay
or
cause to be paid to the Depositor the excess, if any, of (x) the amount of
such
Prepayment Charge calculated as set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and
(y)
the amount collected from the Mortgagor in respect of such Prepayment
Charge.
(c) Within
90
days of the earlier of discovery by the Servicer or receipt of notice by the
Depositor of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the
Servicer set forth in Section 2.05 which materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall
cure such breach in all material respects.
(d) Any
substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage Loans
made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) must be effected prior to the date which is
two
years after the Startup Day for REMIC I.
As
to any
Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Sponsor substitutes a Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Sponsor
delivering to the Trustee (or to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, as
applicable), for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage
Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment in blank or to the Trustee, and such other
documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are
required by Section 2.01, together with an Officers’ Certificate providing that
each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof
and specifying the Substitution Shortfall Amount (as described below), if any,
in connection with such substitution. The Custodian on its behalf and on behalf
of the Trustee shall, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, review each
Mortgage File within 90 days after execution and delivery of this Agreement,
to
ascertain that all required documents have been executed, received and recorded,
if applicable, and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans. If in
the
course of such review the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf finds a
document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be defective
in
any material respect, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf shall promptly
so notify the Depositor, the Trust Administrator, the Sponsor and the Servicer.
Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in
the
month of substitution are not part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by
the
Sponsor. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders
will
reflect the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan on or before
the
Due Date in the month of substitution, and the Sponsor shall thereafter be
entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted
Mortgage Loan. The Trust Administrator shall give or cause to be given written
notice to the Trustee and the Certificateholders that such substitution has
taken place, and the Trust Administrator shall amend or cause the Custodian
to
amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage
Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, upon receipt thereof, shall deliver
a
copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Servicer. Upon such
substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute
part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects to the terms
of
this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (including all
applicable representations and warranties thereof included in the Mortgage
Loan
Purchase Agreement), in each case as of the date of substitution.
For
any
month in which the Sponsor substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Servicer will determine the
amount (the “Substitution Shortfall Amount”), if any, by which the aggregate
Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate of,
as
to each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Scheduled Principal Balance
thereof as of the date of substitution, together with one month’s interest on
such Scheduled Principal Balance at the applicable Mortgage Loan Remittance
Rate. On the date of such substitution, the Trustee will monitor the obligation
of the Sponsor to deliver or cause to be delivered, and shall request that
such
delivery be to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account, an amount
equal to the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if any, and the Trustee (or the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, as applicable), upon receipt of the related
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and written notice given by the
Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the Sponsor the related Mortgage
File
or Files and the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall execute and deliver
such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse,
as
the Sponsor shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any
Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
In
addition, the Sponsor shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee
and the Trust Administrator an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on any Trust
REMIC, including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on “prohibited
transactions” under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on “contributions after
the startup date” under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or (b) any Trust REMIC
to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.
If such Opinion of Counsel cannot be delivered, then such substitution may
only
be effected at such time as the required Opinion of Counsel can be
given.
(e) Upon
discovery by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee
that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact
shall
within two Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties to
this Agreement, and the Trustee shall give written notice thereof to the
Sponsor. In connection therewith, the Sponsor pursuant to the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, or the Depositor pursuant to this Agreement shall repurchase
or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d), substitute one
or
more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within
90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect
to
such affected Mortgage Loan. Such repurchase or substitution shall be made
by
(i) the Sponsor, if the affected Mortgage Loan’s status as a non-qualified
mortgage is or results from a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant
made by the Sponsor under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or (ii) the
Depositor, if the affected Mortgage Loan’s status as a non-qualified mortgage is
a breach of no representation or warranty. Any such repurchase or substitution
shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Sections 2.03(a). The Trustee
shall reconvey to the Depositor or the Sponsor, as the case may be, the Mortgage
Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms
and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased by the Sponsor for
breach of a representation or warranty.

herein:
(i) The
Servicer is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the
laws of the jurisdiction of its formation and has all licenses necessary to
carry on its business as now being conducted, except for such licenses,
certificates and permits the absence of which, individually or in the aggregate,
would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Servicer to
conduct its business as it is presently conducted, and is licensed, qualified
and in good standing in the states where the Mortgaged Property is located
if
the laws of such state require licensing or qualification in order to conduct
business of the type conducted by the Servicer or to ensure the enforceability
or validity of each Mortgage Loan; the Servicer has the power and authority
to
execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform in accordance herewith; the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement (including all instruments
of transfer to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement) by the Servicer and
the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly
authorized; this Agreement evidences the valid, binding and enforceable
obligation of the Servicer, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement
of
creditors’ rights generally; and all requisite corporate action has been taken
by the Servicer to make this Agreement valid and binding upon the Servicer
in
accordance with its terms;
(ii) The
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are in the
ordinary course of business of the Servicer and will not result in the breach
of
any term or provision of the certificate of formation or the partnership
agreement of the Servicer or result in the breach of any term or provision
of,
or conflict with or constitute a default under or result in the acceleration
of
any obligation under, any agreement, indenture or loan or credit agreement
or
other instrument to which the Servicer or its property is subject, or result
in
the violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which
the Servicer or its property is subject;
(iii) The
Servicer is an approved servicer of mortgage loans for Xxxxxx Xxx and has the

is, and shall remain for as long as it is servicing the Mortgage Loans
hereunder, in good standing to service mortgage loans for Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx
Mac, and no event has occurred, including but not limited to a change in
insurance coverage, which would make the Servicer unable to comply with Xxxxxx
Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac eligibility requirements or which would require notification
to any of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac;
(iv) This
Agreement, and all documents and instruments contemplated hereby which are
executed and delivered by the Servicer, constitute and will constitute valid,
legal and binding obligations of the Servicer, enforceable in accordance with
their respective terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by

that
it cannot perform each and every covenant contained in this
Agreement;
(vi) There
is
no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to its knowledge,
threatened against the Servicer that, either individually or in the aggregate,
may result in any material adverse change in the business, operations, financial
condition, properties or assets of the Servicer, or in any material impairment
of the right or ability of the Servicer to carry on its business substantially
as now conducted, or in any material liability on the part of the Servicer,
or
that would draw into question the validity or enforceability of this Agreement
or of any action taken or to be taken in connection with the obligations of
the
Servicer contemplated herein, or that would be likely to impair materially
the
ability of the Servicer to perform under the terms of this
Agreement;
(vii) No
consent, approval or order of any court or governmental agency or body is
required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Servicer of or
compliance by the Servicer with this Agreement or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for such consents,

this Agreement nor any information, certificate of an officer, statement
furnished in writing or report delivered to the Trustee by the Servicer in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby contains or will contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omits or will omit to state a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein,
in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
and

and

Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor and the Certificateholders.
Upon
discovery by any of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator or
the
Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing representations, warranties and
covenants which materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage
Loan
or the interests therein of the Certificateholders, the party discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice (but in no event later than two Business
Days following such discovery) to the other parties hereto.

ARTICLE
III
ADMINISTRATION
AND SERVICING OF
THE
MORTGAGE LOANS
SECTION 3.01 |
Servicer
to Act as Servicer.
|
The
Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Trust
Fund and in the best interests of and for the benefit of the Certificateholders
(as determined by the Servicer in its reasonable judgment) in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement and the respective Mortgage Loans and, to the extent
consistent with such terms, in the same manner in which it services and
administers similar mortgage loans for its own portfolio, giving due
consideration to customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage
lenders and loan servicers administering similar mortgage loans but without
regard to:
(i) any
relationship that the Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or any Affiliate of the
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer may have with the related Mortgagor;
(ii) the
ownership of any Certificate by the Servicer or any Affiliate of the
Servicer;
(iii) the
Servicer’s obligation to make P&I Advances or Servicing Advances;
or
(iv) the
Servicer’s or any Sub-Servicer’s right to receive compensation for its services
hereunder or with respect to any particular transaction.
To
the
extent consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer (a) shall seek the timely
and
complete recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage Notes and (b) shall
waive (or permit a Sub-Servicer to waive) a Prepayment Charge only under the
following circumstances: (i) (a) such waiver is standard and customary in
servicing similar Mortgage Loans and such waiver relates to a default or a
reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the
Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value
of
such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan or (b) the enforceability
thereof shall have been limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium,
receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally or
the collectability thereof shall have been limited due to acceleration in
connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment, (ii) the collection
of such Prepayment Charge would be in violation of applicable laws, (iii) the
collection of such Prepayment Charge 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 or (iv) the Servicer has not been provided with information
sufficient to enable it to collect the Prepayment Charge. If a Prepayment Charge
is waived as permitted by meeting the standard described in clauses (ii), (iii)
or (iv) above and a representation or warranty regarding such Prepayment Charge
has been breached, then, the Trustee shall make commercially reasonable efforts
to attempt to enforce the obligations of the Sponsor under the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement to pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge, for
the
benefit of the Holders of the Class P Certificates; provided, however, that
the
Trustee shall not be under any obligation to take any action pursuant to this
paragraph unless directed by the Depositor and provided, further, the Depositor
hereby agrees to assist and direct the Trustee in enforcing any obligations
of
the Sponsor to repurchase or substitute for a Mortgage Loan which has breached
a
representation or warranty under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. If the
Sponsor fails to pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge in accordance
with its obligations under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Trustee,
the Trust Administrator, the Servicer and the Depositor shall consult on further
actions to be taken against the Sponsor. If a Prepayment Charge is waived other
than in accordance with (i) through (iii) above, the Servicer shall pay the
amount of such waived Prepayment Charge to the Trust Administrator for deposit
in the Distribution Account for the benefit of the Holders of the Class P
Certificates (the “Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amount”).
To
the
extent consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer shall also seek to maximize
the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage
Notes. Subject only to the above-described servicing standards and the terms
of
this Agreement and of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall have full power
and
authority, acting alone or through Sub-Servicers as provided in Section 3.02,
to
do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing
and
administration which it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Servicer in its own name or in the name of
a
Sub-Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee when the Servicer
believes it appropriate in its best judgment in accordance with the servicing
standards set forth above, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee, and upon notice to the Trustee, any and
all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release
or
discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage
Loans and the Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure proceedings
or
obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the ownership of such
properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such properties, on behalf
of the Trustee and Certificateholders. The Servicer shall service and administer
the Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable state and federal law and
shall
provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be provided to them thereby.
The Servicer shall also comply in the performance of this Agreement with all
reasonable rules and requirements of any standard hazard insurance policy.
Subject to Section 3.17, the Trustee shall execute, at the written request
of
the Servicer, and furnish to the Servicer and any Sub-Servicer such documents
as
are necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer to
carry
out their servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and the Trustee hereby
grants to the Servicer a power of attorney in the form of Exhibit K to carry
out
such duties. The Trustee shall have no liability with respect to any misuse
of
such powers of attorney. In connection with any modification pursuant to this
Section 3.01, to the extent there are any xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X Advances or
Servicing Advances, the Servicer shall reimburse itself for such amounts from
the Collection Account.
In
accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the Servicer shall
advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting
the payment of taxes on the Mortgaged Properties solely to prevent foreclosure
of the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be Servicing Advances
reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors
pursuant to Section 3.09, and further as provided in Section 3.11. Any cost
incurred by the Servicer or by Sub-Servicers in effecting the payment of taxes
on a Mortgaged Property shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions
to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related
Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit
provided, however, that (subject to Section 3.07) the Servicer may capitalize
the amount of any Servicing Advances incurred pursuant to this Section 3.01
in
connection with the modification of a Mortgage Loan.
The
Servicer further is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name or in the name of the
Sub-Servicer, when the Servicer or the Sub-Servicer, as the case may be,
believes it is appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan
on
the MERS System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage
Loan
on the MERS System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of assignment and
other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording
of
a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Trustee and its
successors and assigns. Any reasonable expenses (i) incurred as a result of
MERS
discontinuing or becoming unable to continue operations in connection with
the
MERS System or (ii) if the affected Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the
judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, incurred
in
connection with the actions described in the preceding sentence, shall be
subject to withdrawal by the Servicer from the Collection Account.
Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer may not make any future
advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan (except as provided in Section 4.03)
and the Servicer shall not (i) permit any modification with respect to any
Mortgage Loan (except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is in default or,
in
the judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable) that
would
change the Mortgage Rate, reduce or increase the principal balance (except
for
reductions resulting from actual payments of principal) or change the final
maturity date on such Mortgage Loan or (ii) permit any modification, waiver
or
amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would both (A) effect an
exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code
(or
final, temporary or proposed Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and
(B) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the
imposition of any tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions after the
startup date” under the REMIC Provisions.
The
Servicer may delegate its responsibilities under this Agreement; provided,
however, that no such delegation shall release the Servicer from the
responsibilities or liabilities arising under this Agreement.
The
Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer servicing the Mortgage Loans on its behalf) has
fully furnished and will continue to fully furnish, in accordance with the
Fair
Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete
information (e.g., favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower credit files
to
Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information Company or their successors
on a monthly basis.
With
respect to Mortgage Loans affected by a hurricane or other natural disaster,
if
the Mortgaged Property is located in public and individual assistance counties,
as designated by Federal Emergency Management Agency (as set forth on its
website xxx.xxxx.xxx),
Servicer may, at its sole option,
cease
collection activities, charging late fees and credit reporting activity for
all
Mortgagors in such counties for a period of time and, if reasonably prudent,
may
extend such period as long as it deems necessary. In addition, the Servicer
may
suspend all foreclosure and bankruptcy activity relating to such Mortgage Loans
for a period of time and, if reasonably prudent, may extend such period as
long
as it deems necessary; provided, however, that none of the actions taken by
the
Servicer pursuant to this paragraph shall jeopardize the status of the Trust
Fund as a “qualified special purpose entity” for purposes of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 140.
SECTION 3.02 |
Sub-Servicing
Agreements Between the Servicer and
Sub-Servicers.
|
(a) The
Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing
Agreements
(provided that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a downgrading
by the Rating Agencies of the rating on any Class of Certificates) with
Sub-Servicers, for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans;
provided, however, such sub-servicing arrangement and the terms of the related
Sub-Servicing Agreement must provide for the servicing of Mortgage Loans in
a
manner consistent with the servicing arrangement contemplated
hereunder.
(b) Each
Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or states
in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if
and
to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Sub-Servicer to perform
its obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing Agreement and (ii) a
Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae approved mortgage servicer. Each Sub-Servicing
Agreement must impose on the Sub-Servicer requirements conforming to the
provisions set forth in Section 3.08 and provide for servicing of the Mortgage
Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer will examine
each Sub-Servicing Agreement and will be familiar with the terms thereof. The
terms of any Sub-Servicing Agreement will not be inconsistent with any of the
provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer and the Sub-Servicers may enter
into
and make amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into different
forms of Sub-Servicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments
or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions
of
this Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form shall be made
or
entered into which could be reasonably expected to be materially adverse to
the
interests of the Certificateholders, without the consent of the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any variation
without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66%
of
the Voting Rights from the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 (relating to
insurance or priority requirements of Sub-Servicing Accounts, or credits and
charges to the Sub- Servicing Accounts or the timing and amount of remittances
by the Sub-Servicers to the Servicer) are conclusively deemed to be inconsistent
with this Agreement and therefore prohibited. The Servicer shall deliver to
the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements,
and
any amendments or modifications thereof, promptly upon the Servicer’s execution
and delivery of such instruments.
(c) As
part
of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer (except as otherwise
provided in the last sentence of this paragraph), for the benefit of the Trustee
and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer
under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, including, without limitation, any
obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments as required by
a
Sub-Servicing Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the
legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements, and the
pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out
to
such an extent and at such time as the Servicer, in its good faith business
judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The
Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall
be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such
enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts
due
in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, or (ii) from a specific recovery
of
costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the party against whom such
enforcement is directed.
SECTION 3.03 |
Successor
Sub-Servicers.
|
The
Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement and the
rights and obligations of any Sub-Servicer pursuant to any Sub-Servicing
Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Sub-Servicing
Agreement. In the event of termination of any Sub-Servicer, all servicing
obligations of such Sub-Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by the Servicer
without any act or deed on the part of such Sub-Servicer or the Servicer, and
the Servicer either shall service directly the related Mortgage Loans or shall
enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor Sub-Servicer which
qualifies under Section 3.02.
Any
Sub-Servicing Agreement shall include the provision that such agreement may
be
immediately terminated by the Trustee or the Trust Administrator without fee,
in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in the event that the Servicer
shall, for any reason, no longer be the Servicer (including termination due
to a
Servicer Event of Default).
SECTION 3.04 |
Liability
of the Servicer.
|
The
Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the
obligations specifically imposed by this Agreement and undertaken hereunder
by
the Servicer herein.
Notwithstanding
any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating
to
agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a Sub-Servicer or reference
to actions taken through a Sub-Servicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain
obligated and primarily liable to the Trustee and the Certificateholders for
the
servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3.01 without diminution of such obligation or liability
by
virtue of such Sub-Servicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of
indemnification from the Sub-Servicer and to the same extent and under the
same
terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering
the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement
with a Sub- Servicer for indemnification of the Servicer by such Sub-Servicer
and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify
such
indemnification.
SECTION 3.05 |
No
Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicers and Trustee, Trust
Administrator or Certificateholders.
|
Any
Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any transactions or
services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer in its capacity
as such shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the Servicer alone,
and the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Certificateholders shall not
be
deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties
or
liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer except as set forth in Section
3.06. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any
Sub-Servicer, irrespective of whether the Servicer’s compensation pursuant to
this Agreement is sufficient to pay such fees.
SECTION 3.06 |
Assumption
or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements by Trust
Administrator.
|
In
the
event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the servicer (including
by
reason of the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default), the Trust
Administrator or its designee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer under each Sub-Servicing Agreement that the Servicer
may have entered into, unless the Trust Administrator elects to terminate any
Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with its terms as provided in Section
3.03. Upon such assumption, the Trust Administrator, its designee or the
successor servicer for the Trust Administrator appointed pursuant to Section
7.02 shall be deemed, subject to Section 3.03, to have assumed all of the
Servicer’s interest therein and to have replaced the Servicer as a party to each
Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if each Sub-Servicing Agreement
had been assigned to the assuming party, except that (i) the Servicer shall
not
thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under any Sub-Servicing
Agreement and (ii) none of the Trust Administrator, its designee or any
successor Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed any liability or obligation
of the Servicer that arose before it ceased to be the Servicer.
The
Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the Trust Administrator, deliver
to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Sub-Servicing
Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an accounting of
amounts collected and held by or on behalf of it, and otherwise use its best
efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub- Servicing
Agreements to the assuming party.
SECTION 3.07 |
Collection
of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.
|
The
Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under
the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to the extent such
procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions
of any applicable insurance policies, follow such collection procedures as
it
would follow with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans
and
held for its own account. Consistent with the foregoing and the servicing
standards set forth in Section 3.01, the Servicer may in its discretion (i)
waive any late payment charge or, if applicable, penalty interest, (ii) waive
any provision of any Mortgage Loan requiring the related Mortgagor to submit
to
mandatory arbitration with respect to disputes arising thereunder or (iii)
extend the due dates for Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period
of
not greater than 180 days; provided that any extension pursuant to clause (iii)
above shall not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for
purposes of any computation hereunder, except as provided below. In the event
of
any such arrangement pursuant to clause (iii) above, the Servicer shall make
timely advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant to Section
4.03 and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan
without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements. Notwithstanding
the
foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment
of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, the Servicer,
consistent with the standards set forth in Section 3.01, may waive,
modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including, but not limited to,
modifications that change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of principal
or
interest or extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan), accept
payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated Principal
Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan (such payment, a “Short
Pay-off”) or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term
or otherwise grant indulgence to any Mortgagor, if
in the
Servicer’s determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence
is not materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders (taking
into account any estimated Realized Loss that might result absent such action).
The Servicer may write off any second lien Mortgage Loan that has been
delinquent for a period of 180 days or more if the Servicer determines, applying
the standards set forth in Section 3.01, that any amount that could be recovered
on such Mortgage Loan would be less than the cost required to achieve such
recovery.
SECTION 3.08 |
Sub-Servicing
Accounts.
|
In
those
cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a
Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer will be required to establish and
maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the “Sub-Servicing Account”). The
Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall comply with all
requirements of this Agreement relating to the Collection Account. The
Sub-Servicer shall deposit in the Sub-Servicing Account, in no event more than
two Business Days after the Sub-Servicer’s receipt thereof, all proceeds of
Mortgage Loans received by the Sub-Servicer less its servicing compensation
to
the extent permitted by the Sub-Servicing Agreement. The Sub-Servicer shall
thereafter remit such proceeds to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection
Account not later than two Business Days after the deposit of such amounts
in
the Sub-Servicing Account. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall
be
deemed to have received payments on the Mortgage Loans when the Sub-Servicer
receives such payments.
SECTION 3.09 |
Collection
of Taxes and Similar Items; Servicing
Accounts.
|
To
the
extent the terms of a first lien Mortgage provide for Escrow Payments, the
Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (the “Servicing
Accounts”), into which all collections from the Mortgagors (or related advances
from Sub-Servicers) for the payment of taxes, fire, flood, and hazard insurance
premiums, hazard insurance proceeds (to the extent such amounts are to be
applied to the restoration or repair of the property) and comparable items
for
the account of the Mortgagors (“Escrow Payments”) shall be deposited and
retained. Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. The Servicer shall
deposit in the Servicing Accounts on a daily basis within two Business Days
of
receipt, and retain therein, all Escrow Payments collected on account of the
Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting the timely payment of any such
items as required under the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, the
Servicer shall deposit such amounts within two Business Days after determining
the proper application of funds that were improperly marked but would otherwise
constitute funds pursuant to this sentence. For the avoidance of doubt, returned
checks are not funds received by the Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.09.
Withdrawals of amounts from a Servicing Account may be made only to (i) effect
timely payment of taxes, fire, flood, and hazard insurance premiums, and
comparable items; (ii) reimburse the Servicer out of related collections for
any
advances made pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to taxes) and Section
3.14
(with respect to fire, flood and hazard insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors
any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest, if required
and
as described below, to Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing Account; or
(v)
clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the termination of the Servicer’s
obligations and responsibilities in respect of the Mortgage Loans under this
Agreement in accordance with Article IX. As part of its servicing duties, the
Servicer shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in Servicing Accounts,
to
the extent required by law and, to the extent that interest earned on funds
in
the Servicing Accounts is insufficient, to pay such interest from its or their
own funds, without any reimbursement therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Servicer shall not be obligated to collect Escrow Payments if the related
Mortgage Loan does not require such payments but the Servicer shall nevertheless
be obligated to make Servicing Advances as provided in Section 3.01. In the
event the Servicer shall deposit in the Servicing Accounts any amount not
required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from
the Servicing Accounts, any provision to the contrary
notwithstanding.
To
the
extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer (i)
shall determine whether any such payments are made by the Mortgagor in a manner
and at a time that is necessary to avoid the loss of the Mortgaged Property
due
to a tax sale or the foreclosure as a result of a tax lien and (ii) shall ensure
that all insurance required to be maintained on the Mortgaged Property pursuant
to this Agreement is maintained. If any such payment has not been made and
the
Servicer receives notice of a tax lien with respect to the Mortgage Loan being
imposed, the Servicer will, to the extent required to avoid loss of the
Mortgaged Property, advance or cause to be advanced funds necessary to discharge
such lien on the Mortgaged Property. The Servicer assumes full responsibility
for the payment of all such bills and shall effect payments of all such bills
irrespective of the Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or
the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make Servicing Advances from its
own
funds to effect such payments.
SECTION 3.10 |
Collection
Account and Distribution Account.
|
(a) On
behalf
of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more
separate, segregated trust accounts (such account or accounts, the “Collection
Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Trust Administrator, the Trustee
and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall
deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection Account on a daily basis
within two Business Days of receipt, and retain therein, the following payments
and collections received or made by it from and after the Cut-off Date (other
than in respect of principal or interest on the related Mortgage Loans due
on or
before the Cut-off Date), or payments (other than Principal Prepayments)
received by it on or prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a Due Period
subsequent thereto:
(i) all
payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments (but not
Prepayment Charges), on the Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all
payments on account of interest (net of the related Servicing Fee and any
Prepayment Interest Excess) on each Mortgage Loan;
(iii) all
Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and Liquidation Proceeds (other than
(a) proceeds to be held in an escrow account and applied to the restoration
or
repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance
with
the terms of this Agreement or (b) proceeds collected in respect of any
particular REO Property and amounts paid by the Servicer in connection with
a
purchase of Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section
9.01);
(iv) any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12 in connection with
any
losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the
Collection Account;
(v) any
amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to the second
paragraph of Section 3.14(a) in respect of any blanket policy
deductibles;
(vi) all
proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased or purchased in accordance with
Section 2.03 or Section 9.01;
(vii) all
amounts required to be deposited in connection with shortfalls in principal
amount of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.03;
and
(viii) all
Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer and any Servicer Prepayment Charge
Payment Amounts in connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of the
Mortgage Loans;
provided,
however, the Servicer shall deposit into the Collection Account on a daily
basis
within two Business Days after determining the proper application of funds
that
were improperly marked but would otherwise constitute payments or collections
pursuant to subclauses (i) through (viii) above. For the avoidance of doubt,
returned checks are not funds received by the Servicer pursuant to this Section
3.10(a).
For
purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the Cut-off Date with respect
to
any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to be the date of
substitution.
The
foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Accounts shall be
exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges, Prepayment
Interest Excess or assumption fees (other than Prepayment Charges) need not
be
deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account. In the event the Servicer
shall deposit in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited
therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account,
any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(b) On
behalf
of the Trust Fund, the Trust Administrator, as agent for the Trustee, shall
establish and maintain one or more separate, segregated trust accounts (such
account or accounts, the “Distribution Account”), held in trust for the benefit
of the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall
deliver to the Trust Administrator in immediately available funds for deposit
in
the Distribution Account (i) on the Servicer Remittance Date, that portion
of
the Available Distribution Amount for the related Distribution Date then on
deposit in the Collection Account, the amount of all Prepayment Charges
collected during the applicable Prepayment Period by the Servicer and Servicer
Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts in connection with the Principal Prepayment
of
any of the Mortgage Loans then on deposit in the Collection Account and (ii)
on
each Business Day as of the commencement of which the balance on deposit in
the
Collection Account exceeds $75,000 following any withdrawals pursuant to the
next succeeding sentence, the amount of such excess, but only if the Collection
Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the
definition of “Eligible Account.” If the balance on deposit in the Collection
Account exceeds $75,000 as of the commencement of business on any Business
Day
and the Collection Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant
to
clause (ii) of the definition of “Eligible Account,” the Servicer shall, on or
before 4:00 p.m. New York time on such Business Day, withdraw from the
Collection Account any and all amounts payable or reimbursable to the Depositor,
the Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Sponsor or any
Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11 and shall pay such amounts to the Persons
entitled thereto.
(c) Funds
in
the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be invested in Permitted
Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 3.12. The
Servicer shall give notice to the Trust Administrator (who shall give notice
to
the Trustee and the Depositor) of the location of the Collection Account
maintained by it when established and prior to any change thereof. The Trust
Administrator shall give notice to the Servicer, the Trustee and the Depositor
of the location of the Distribution Account when established and prior to any
change thereof.
(d) Funds
held in the Collection Account at any time may be delivered by the Servicer
to
the Trust Administrator for deposit in an account (which may be the Distribution
Account and must satisfy the standards for the Distribution Account as set
forth
in the definition thereof) and for all purposes of this Agreement shall be
deemed to be a part of the Collection Account; provided, however, that the
Trust
Administrator shall have the sole authority to withdraw any funds held pursuant
to this subsection (d). In the event the Servicer shall deliver to the Trust
Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account any amount not required
to
be deposited therein, it may at any time request that the Trust Administrator
withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account and remit to it any such
amount, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In addition,
the
Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Administrator from time to time for deposit,
and upon written notification from the Servicer, the Trust Administrator shall
so deposit, in the Distribution Account:
(i) any
P&I
Advances,
as required pursuant to Section 4.03;
(ii) any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.23(d) or (f) in
connection with any REO Property;
(iii) any
amounts to be paid by the Servicer in connection with a purchase of Mortgage
Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 9.01;
(iv) any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.24 in connection with
any
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls; and
(v) any
Stayed Funds, as soon as permitted by the federal bankruptcy court having
jurisdiction in such matters.
(e) Promptly
upon receipt of any Stayed Funds, whether from the Servicer, a trustee in
bankruptcy, or federal bankruptcy court or other source, the Trust Administrator
shall deposit such funds in the Distribution Account, subject to withdrawal
thereof as permitted hereunder.
(f) The
Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amounts required to be
deposited pursuant to Section 3.12(b) in connection with losses realized on
Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the Collection
Account.
SECTION 3.11 |
Withdrawals
from the Collection Account and Distribution
Account.
|
(a) The
Servicer shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Collection Account
for any of the following purposes or as described in Section 4.03:
(i) to
remit
to the Trust Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account the amounts
required to be so remitted pursuant to Section 3.10(b) or permitted to be so
remitted pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3.10(d);
(ii) to
reimburse itself for (x) P&I Advances and Servicing Advances; the Servicer’s
right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to
amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent payments of (a)
principal and/or interest respecting which any such P&I Advance was made or
(b) Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds respecting
which any such Servicing Advance was made or (y) any xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X
Advances made to the extent of funds held in the Collection Account for future
distribution that were not included in Available Funds for the preceding
Distribution Date;
(iii) to
reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances, any unpaid Servicing
Fees
and for xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X Advances to the extent that such amounts are deemed
to be Nonrecoverable Advances, to reimburse itself for such amounts to the
extent that such amounts are nonrecoverable from the disposition of REO
Property, to reimburse itself for such amounts to the extent that such P&I
Advances or Servicing Advances have not been reimbursed at the time a Mortgage
Loan has been modified and to reimburse itself for a Nonrecoverable Advance
in
connection with any outstanding advances on a second lien Mortgage Loan that
has
been written off pursuant to Section 3.07;
(iv) to
pay to
the Servicer as servicing compensation (in addition to the Servicing Fee) on
the
Servicer Remittance Date any interest or investment income earned on funds
deposited in the Collection Account;
(v) to
pay to
the Servicer, the Depositor or the Sponsor, as the case may be, with respect
to
each Mortgage Loan that has previously been purchased or replaced pursuant
to

or
substitution, as the case may be;
(vi) [reserved];
(vii) to
reimburse the Servicer or the Depositor for expenses incurred by or reimbursable
to the Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be, pursuant to Section
6.03;
(viii) to
reimburse the Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as the case
may
be, for expenses reasonably incurred in respect of the breach or defect giving
rise to the purchase obligation under Section 2.03 or Section 2.04 of this
Agreement that were included in the Purchase Price of the Mortgage Loan,
including any expenses arising out of the enforcement of the purchase
obligation;
(ix) to
pay
itself any Prepayment Interest Excess (to the extent not otherwise
retained);
(x) to
pay,
or to reimburse the Servicer for advances in respect of expenses incurred in
connection with any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.16(b);
(xi) to
clear
and terminate the Collection Account pursuant to Section 9.01; and
(xii) to
withdraw any amounts deposited in the Collection Account in error.
The
Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by
Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the
Collection Account, to the extent held by or on behalf of it, pursuant to
subclauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (viii) and (ix) above. The Servicer shall
provide written notification to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, on
or
prior to the next succeeding Servicer Remittance Date, upon making any
withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to subclause (vii)
above.
(b) The

it under Section 7.01 (if not reimbursed by the Servicer) to the same extent
the
Servicer would be entitled to reimbursement under Section 3.11(a);
(vii) [reserved];
and
(viii) to
clear
and terminate the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 9.01.
SECTION 3.12 |
Investment
of Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution
Account.
|
(a) The
Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection
Account (for purposes of this Section 3.12, an “Investment Account”), and the
Trust Administrator may at the direction of the Depositor direct any depository
institution maintaining the Distribution Account (for purposes of this Section
3.12, also an “Investment Account”), to hold the funds in such Investment
Account uninvested or to invest the funds in such Investment Account in one
or
more Permitted Investments specified in such instruction bearing interest or
sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than
the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required
to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other
than the Trust Administrator is the obligor thereon, and (ii) no later than
the
date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant
to this Agreement, if the Trust Administrator is the obligor thereon. All such
Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand.
Any
investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the
Trust Administrator (in its capacity as such) or in the name of a nominee of
the
Trust Administrator. The Trust Administrator shall be entitled to sole
possession (except with respect to investment direction of funds held in the
Collection Account and the Distribution Account and any income and gain realized
thereon) over each such investment, and any certificate or other instrument
evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Trust
Administrator or its agent, together with any document of transfer necessary
to
transfer title to such investment to the Trust Administrator or its nominee.
In
the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested
in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Trust Administrator
shall:
(x) consistent
with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon
be
made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder
in
an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and
(2)
the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and
(y) demand
payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by a
Responsible Officer of the Trust Administrator that such Permitted Investment
would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter
on
deposit in the Investment Account.
(b) All
income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the
Collection Account held by or on behalf of the Servicer, shall be for the
benefit of the Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance
with Section 3.11. The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account the
amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted
Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately upon realization of
such
loss.
(c) All
income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the
Distribution Account held by or on behalf of the Trust Administrator, shall
be
for the benefit of the Trust Administrator and shall be subject to its
withdrawal at any time. The Trust Administrator shall deposit in the
Distribution Account the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect
of
any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately
upon
realization of such loss.
(d) Except
as
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the
making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs
in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Trust
Administrator may and, subject to Section 8.01 and Section 8.02(a)(v), upon
the
request of the Holders of Certificates representing more than 50% of the Voting
Rights allocated to any Class of Certificates, shall take such action as may be
appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution
and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.
SECTION 3.13 |
[Reserved].
|
SECTION 3.14 |
Maintenance
of Hazard Insurance and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity
Coverage.
|
(a) The
terms
of each Mortgage Note for each first lien Mortgage Loan require the related
Mortgagor to maintain fire, flood and hazard insurance policies. To the extent
such policies are not maintained, the Servicer shall cause to be maintained
for
each Mortgaged Property fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as
is
customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount
which
is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the current principal balance of such
Mortgage Loan and (ii) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage
or loss to the improvements which are a part of such property on a replacement
cost basis, in each case in an amount not less than such amount as is necessary
to avoid the application of any coinsurance clause contained in the related
hazard insurance policy. The Servicer shall also cause to be maintained fire
and
hazard insurance on each REO Property with extended coverage as is customary
in
the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is at least
equal to the lesser of (i) the replacement cost of the improvements which are
a
part of such property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the related
Mortgage Loan at the time it became an REO Property. The Servicer will comply
in
the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements
of
each insurer under any such hazard policies. Any amounts to be collected by
the
Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the
restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or amounts
to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the procedures that the
Servicer would follow in servicing loans held for its own account, subject
to
the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note) shall be
deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section
3.11, if received in respect of a Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account, subject
to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.23, if received in respect of an REO
Property. Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance
shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders,
be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan,
notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit; provided,
however, that the Servicer may capitalize the amount of any Servicing Advances
incurred pursuant to this Section 3.14 in connection with the modification
of a
Mortgage Loan. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other
additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor other than pursuant
to
such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as
shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property or REO
Property is at any time in an area identified in the Federal Register by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the
Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy in respect
thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of
(i)
the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and (ii) the maximum
amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under
the
national flood insurance program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged
Property is located is participating in such program); provided, that, such
flood insurance must also be equal to the replacement value or the maximum
payable amount under the Flood Disaster Protection Act (“FDPA”).
In
the
event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy with an
insurer having a General Policy Rating of B:VI or better in Best’s Key Rating
Guide insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall
conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the
first two sentences of this Section 3.14, it being understood and agreed that
such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall,
in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged
Property or REO Property a policy complying with the first two sentences of
this
Section 3.14, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have
been
covered by such policy, deposit to the Collection Account from its own funds
the
amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible
clause. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of
the
Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself,
the Trustee, the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders, claims under any such
blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such
policy.
(b) The
Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this Agreement a policy or
policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for failure in the
performance of its respective obligations under this Agreement, which policy
or
policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the requirements
of
Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac if it were the purchaser of the Mortgage Loans, unless
the Servicer, has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae or
Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall also maintain a fidelity bond in the form and
amount that would meet the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, unless
the
Servicer, has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx
Mac. The Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with this provision if an
Affiliate of the Servicer, has such errors and omissions insurance policy and
fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such insurance policy or fidelity
bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Servicer. Upon the
Trustee’s request, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee proof
of coverage of the fidelity bond and the errors and omissions insurance policy
and a statement from the surety and the insurer that the surety and the insurer
shall endeavor to notify the Trustee within thirty days prior to the termination
or material modification of such fidelity bond or errors and omissions insurance
policy.
SECTION 3.15 |
Enforcement
of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements.
|
The
Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective
conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any Mortgagor (whether by absolute
conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains
or
is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise
its
rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the “due-on-sale”
clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided, however, that the Servicer shall
not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from doing so. If the Servicer
reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such
“due-on-sale” clause, or if any of the other conditions set forth in the proviso
to the preceding sentence apply, the Servicer will enter into an assumption
and
modification agreement from or with the person to whom such property has been
conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes
liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state
law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Servicer is also authorized
to
enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such person, pursuant
to
which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such person is
substituted as the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note,
provided that no such substitution shall be effective unless such person
satisfies the then current underwriting criteria of the Servicer for mortgage
loans similar to the Mortgage Loans. In connection with any assumption or
substitution, the Servicer shall apply such underwriting standards and follow
such practices and procedures as shall be normal and usual in its general
mortgage servicing activities. The Servicer shall not take or enter into any
assumption and modification agreement, however, unless (to the extent
practicable in the circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in
writing, of the continued effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance
policy. Any fee collected by the Servicer in respect of an assumption or
substitution of liability agreement will be retained by the Servicer as
additional servicing compensation. In connection with any such assumption,
no
material term of the Mortgage Note (including but not limited to the related
Mortgage Rate and the amount of the Monthly Payment) may be amended or modified,
except as otherwise required pursuant to the terms thereof. The Servicer shall
notify the Trustee and the Trust Administrator that any such substitution or
assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trust Administrator
on behalf of the Trustee the executed original of such substitution or
assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related Mortgage
File
and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to
the
same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part
thereof.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer
shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its
obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by
operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any assumption which
the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason
whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 3.15, the term “assumption” is deemed
to also include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property) subject to the Mortgage
that
is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability
agreement.
SECTION 3.16 |
Realization
Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
|
(a) The
Servicer shall, consistent with the servicing standard set forth in Section
3.01, foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties
securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and
as
to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent
payments pursuant to Section 3.07. The Servicer shall be responsible for all
costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however,
that such costs and expenses will be recoverable as Servicing Advances by the
Servicer as contemplated in Section 3.11 and Section 3.23. The foregoing is
subject to the provision that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall
have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Servicer shall not be required
to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall
determine in its discretion that such restoration will increase the proceeds
of
liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself for
such
expenses. The Servicer may write off any second lien Mortgage Loan that is
delinquent by 180 days or more.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.16 or any other provision of this
Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Servicer has
received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any
toxic
or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall
not, on behalf of the Trustee, either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged
Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or (ii)
otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to,
such
Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Trustee, the Trust
Fund, the Trust Administrator, the Servicer or the Certificateholders would
be
considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an
“owner” or “operator” of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980,
as
amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Servicer has also
previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a report prepared
by
a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry
standards, that:
(1) such
Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or,
if
not, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take
such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance
therewith; and
(2) there
are
no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use,
management or disposal of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials,
hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials for which investigation, testing,
monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any
federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if any such materials are
present for which such action could be required, that it would be in the best
economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions with respect to the
affected Mortgaged Property.
The
cost
of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 3.16 shall be
advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed
therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.11(a)(ix), such
right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to
receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected
Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.
If
the
Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic
interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to bring any
such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws,
or
to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation
of
hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes or petroleum-based
materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Servicer shall take
such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund.
The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall
be
advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed
therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.11(a)(ix), such
right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to
receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected
Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.
(c)
The
Servicer (or an affiliate of the Servicer) shall have the right to purchase
from
REMIC I any defaulted Mortgage Loan that is 90 days or more delinquent or for
which the Servicer has accepted a deed in lieu of foreclosure, at a price equal
to the Purchase Price; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not use any
procedure in selecting Mortgage Loans to be repurchased which is materially
adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders. The Purchase Price for
any
Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the Collection Account,
and the Trust Administrator, upon receipt of written certification from the
Servicer of such deposit, shall release or cause to be released to the Servicer
the related Mortgage File and the Trust Administrator, upon receipt of written
certification from the Servicer of such deposit, shall execute and deliver
such
instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the
Servicer shall furnish and as shall be necessary to vest in the Servicer title
to any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
(d) Proceeds
received in connection with any Final Recovery Determination, as well as any
recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds or
Liquidation Proceeds, in respect of any Mortgage Loan, will be applied in the
following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and P&I
Advances, pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(ii) or (a)(iii)(B); second, to accrued
and
unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final Recovery
Determination, or to the Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such
amounts are to be distributed if not in connection with a Final Recovery
Determination; and third, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan.
If
the amount of the recovery so allocated to interest is less than the full amount
of accrued and unpaid interest due on such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such
recovery will be allocated by the Servicer as follows: first, to unpaid
Servicing Fees; and second, to the balance of the interest then due and owing.
The portion of the recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be
reimbursed to the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section
3.11(a)(iii)(A).
SECTION 3.17 |
Trustee
to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
|
(a) Upon
the
payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a
notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner customary for
such purposes, the Servicer will immediately notify the Custodian, on behalf
of
the Trustee, by a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit E (which
certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received
or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be
deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.10 have been or will
be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request that the Custodian,
on
behalf of the Trustee, deliver to it the Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such
certification and request, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall
promptly release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer, and the Servicer
is
authorized to cause the removal from the registration on the MERS® System of any
such Mortgage, if applicable, and to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments
of
satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release. No expenses incurred
in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall
be chargeable to the Collection Account or the Distribution
Account.
The
Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf) shall, at the written request and
expense of any Certificateholder, provide a written report to such
Certificateholder of all Mortgage Files released to the Servicer for servicing
purposes.
(b) From
time
to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage
Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any insurance policy
relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall,
upon request of the Servicer and delivery to the Custodian and the Trustee
of a
Request for Release in the form of Exhibit E, release the related Mortgage
File
to the Servicer, and the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall, at the
direction of the Servicer, execute such documents as shall be necessary to
the
prosecution of any such proceedings. Such Request for Release shall obligate
the
Servicer to return each and every document previously requested from the
Mortgage File to the Custodian when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer
exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation
Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Collection
Account or the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney,
or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes
of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure
of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Servicer
has delivered to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, a certificate of
a
Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which
such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes
of
such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating
that
such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be
received in connection with such liquidation that are required to be deposited
into the Collection Account have been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan
has become an REO Property, a copy of the Request for Release shall be released
by the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, to the Servicer.
(c) Upon
written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall execute and
deliver to the Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or
other documents reasonably necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in
respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain
judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain
a
deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by
the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each
such
certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be
executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents or
pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the
Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except
for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or
trustee’s sale.
SECTION 3.18 |
Servicing
Compensation.
|
As
compensation for its activities hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to
retain the amount of the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan
(including REO Properties). The Servicer shall be entitled to retain additional
servicing compensation in the form of Prepayment Interest Excess, release fees,
bad check charges, assumption fees, modification or extension fees, late payment
charges, customary real estate referral fees or any other service-related fees,
Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds not required to be deposited in
the
Collection Account and similar items, to the extent collected from
Mortgagors.
For
so
long as Xxxxxx Loan Servicing LP is the servicer of the Mortgage Loans, a fee
in
the
amount of 0.15% per annum on the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage
Loan
(the
“Xxxxxx Servicing Fee”) will
be
paid to Xxxxxx Loan Servicing LP, and a
fee of
0.35%
per
annum on the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan (the
“Excess Servicing Fee”) will
be
paid to the holder of the Class CE-2 Certificate.
SECTION 3.19 |
Reports
to the Trust Administrator; Collection Account
Statements.
|
Not
later
than fifteen days after each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall forward
to
the Trust Administrator, upon the request of the Trust Administrator, a
statement prepared by the Servicer setting forth the status of the Collection
Account as of the close of business on the last day of the calendar month
relating to such Distribution Date and showing, for the period covered by such
statement, the aggregate amount of deposits into and withdrawals from the
Collection Account of each category of deposit specified in Section 3.10(a)
and
each category of withdrawal specified in Section 3.11. Such statement may be
in
the form of the then current Xxxxxx Mae Monthly Accounting Report for its
Guaranteed Mortgage Pass-Through Program with appropriate additions and changes,
and shall also include information as to the aggregate of the outstanding
principal balances of all of the Mortgage Loans as of the last day of the
calendar month immediately preceding such Distribution Date. Copies of such
statement shall be provided by the Trust Administrator to any Certificateholder
and to any Person identified to the Trust Administrator as a prospective
transferee of a Certificate, upon the request and at the expense of the
requesting party, provided such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the
Trust Administrator.
SECTION 3.20 |
Statement
as to Compliance.
|
The
Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Administrator, on or before March
15th
of each
calendar year beginning in 2008, an Officers’ Certificate (an “Annual Statement
of Compliance”) stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the
activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of performance
under this Agreement has been made under such officers’ supervision and (ii) to
the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has
fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement in all material respects
throughout such year, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such
obligation in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to such
officer and the nature and status of cure provisions thereof. The Servicer
shall
deliver, or cause any Sub-Servicer to deliver, a similar Annual Statement of
Compliance by any Sub-Servicer to which the Servicer has delegated any servicing
responsibilities with respect to the Mortgage Loans, to the Trust Administrator
as described above as and when required with respect to the Servicer.
If
the
Servicer cannot deliver the related Annual Statement of Compliance by March
15th
of such year, the Trust Administrator, at the direction of the Depositor, may
permit a cure period for the Servicer to deliver such Annual Statement of
Compliance, but in no event later than March 20th of such year.
Failure
of the Servicer to timely comply with this Section 3.20, which continues
unremedied for five (5) calendar days after the date on which the Annual
Statement of Compliance was required to be delivered, shall be deemed an Event
of Default, and upon the receipt of written notice from the Trust Administrator
of such Event of Default, the Trustee may at the direction of the Depositor,
in
addition to whatever rights the Trustee may have under this Agreement and at
law
or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance,
upon notice immediately terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer
under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof
without compensating the Servicer for the same; provided
that to
the extent that any provision of this Agreement expressly provides for the
survival of certain rights or obligations following termination of the Servicer,
such provision shall be given effect. This paragraph shall supersede any other
provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.
SECTION 3.21 |
Assessments
of Compliance and Attestation Reports.
|
(a) The
Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Administrator on or before March
15th
of each
calendar year beginning in 2008, the following:
(i) a
report
(an “Assessment of Compliance”) regarding the Servicer’s assessment of
compliance with the Servicing Criteria during the immediately preceding calendar
year, as required under Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item
1122 of Regulation AB. Such report shall be signed by an authorized officer
of
the Servicer, and shall address each of the Servicing Criteria set forth in
Exhibit C hereto;
(ii) a
report
(an “Attestation Report”) of a registered public accounting firm reasonably
acceptable to the Depositor that attests to, and reports on, the assessment
of
compliance made by the Servicer and delivered pursuant to the preceding
paragraph. Such attestation shall be in accordance with Rules 1-02(a)(3) and
2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act;
and
(iii) cause
each Sub-Servicer, and each subcontractor determined by the Servicer to be
“participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of
Regulation AB, to deliver an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report
as
and when provided in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section
3.21(a).
(b) The
Servicer shall, or shall cause any Sub-Servicer and each subcontractor
determined by the Servicer to be “participating in the servicing function”
within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB to, deliver to the Trust
Administrator and the Depositor an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation
Report as and when provided above.
Such
Assessment of Compliance, as to any Sub-Servicer, shall at a minimum address
each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit C hereto which are indicated
as applicable to any “primary servicer.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, as to
any subcontractor, an Assessment of Compliance is not required to be delivered
unless it is required as part of a Form 10-K with respect to the Trust
Fund.
If
the
Servicer cannot deliver any Assessment of Compliance or Attestation Report
by
March 15th
of such
year, the Trust Administrator, at the direction of the Depositor, may permit
a
cure period for the Servicer to deliver such Assessment of Compliance or
Attestation Report, but in no event later than March 20th
of such
year.
The
Trust
Administrator shall also provide an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation
Report, as and when provided above, which shall at a minimum address each of
the
Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit C hereto which are indicated as
applicable to the “trust administrator.”
If
reasonably requested by the Trust Administrator or the Depositor, the Servicer
shall provide to the Trust Administrator or the Depositor, evidence of the
authorization of the person signing the certificate or statement provided
pursuant to Sections 3.20 and 3.21 of this Agreement.
SECTION 3.22 |
Access
to Certain Documentation.
|
The
Servicer shall provide to the Depositor, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee
access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable
laws and regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only
upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of
the
Servicer designated by it. In addition, access to the documentation regarding
the Mortgage Loans required by applicable laws and regulations will be provided
to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator on behalf of, and for purposes of
providing such documentation to, any Person identified as
a Certificateholder or any federal or state banking or insurance
regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any Certificateholder
or a
prospective transferee of a Certificate subject to the execution of a
confidentiality agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Servicer,
upon reasonable request during normal business hours at the offices of the
Servicer designated by it at the expense of the Trustee or Trust Administrator.
Nothing in this Section 3.22 shall derogate from the obligation of any such
party to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information
regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of any such party to provide access
as
provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute
a
breach of this Section 3.22. In each case, access to any documentation regarding
the Mortgage Loans may be conditioned upon the requesting party’s (i)
acknowledgment in writing of a confidentiality agreement regarding any
information that is required to remain confidential under the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx
Act of 1999 and (ii) except with respect to the Depositor, agreement to
indemnify the Servicer for any losses incurred in connection with the requesting
party’s failure to comply with any such confidentiality agreement.
SECTION 3.23 |
Title,
Management and Disposition of REO
Property.
|
(a) The
deed
or certificate of sale of any REO Property shall be taken in the name of the
Trustee, or its nominee (which nominee shall not be the Servicer), in trust
for
the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Servicer, on behalf of the Trust
Fund, shall either sell any REO Property before the close of the third taxable
year following the year the Trust Fund acquires ownership of such REO Property
for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or request from the Internal
Revenue Service, no later than 60 days before the day on which the above
three-year grace period would otherwise expire, an extension of the above
three-year grace period, unless the Servicer shall have delivered to the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Depositor an Opinion of Counsel,
addressed to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Depositor, to the
effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to
the
close of the third taxable year after its acquisition will not result in the
imposition on the Trust Fund of taxes on “prohibited transactions” thereof, as
defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify
as a REMIC under Federal law at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.
The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property
for
the Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and
sale
in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as
“foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or
result in the receipt by any Trust REMIC of any “income from non-permitted
assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code, or any “net
income from foreclosure property” which is subject to taxation under the REMIC
Provisions.
(b) The
Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection
with the operation of any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds
and
general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to REO Properties
an account held in trust for the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders (the “REO Account”), which shall be an Eligible Account. The
Servicer shall be permitted to allow the Collection Account to serve as the
REO
Account, subject to separate ledgers for each REO Property. The Servicer shall
be entitled to retain or withdraw any interest income paid on funds deposited
in
the REO Account.
(c) The
Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the specific
requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in
connection with any REO Property as are consistent with the manner in which
the
Servicer manages and operates similar property owned by the Servicer or any
of
its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period as the Servicer deems
to
be in the best interests of Certificateholders. In connection therewith, the
Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the REO Account, on a daily
basis, within two Business Days of receipt, all revenues received by it with
respect to an REO Property; provided, however, the Servicer shall deposit into
the REO Account on a daily basis within two Business Days after determining
the
proper application of funds that were improperly marked but would otherwise
constitute revenue received with respect to each REO Property. For the avoidance
of doubt, returned checks are not funds received by the Servicer pursuant to
this Section 3.23(b). The Servicer shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary
for
the proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO Property including,
without limitation:
(i) all
insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such REO Property;
(ii) all
real
estate taxes and assessments in respect of such REO Property that may result
in
the imposition of a lien thereon; and
(iii) all
costs
and expenses necessary to maintain such REO Property.
To
the
extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account with respect to an REO
Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through
(iii) above with respect to such REO Property, the Servicer shall advance from
its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes if, but only if,
the
Servicer would make such advances if the Servicer owned the REO Property and
if
in the Servicer’s judgment, the payment of such amounts will be recoverable from
the rental or sale of the REO Property.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, none of the Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee
shall:
(i) authorize
the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with respect to
any
REO Property, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise to any income that
does not constitute Rents from Real Property;
(ii) authorize
any amount to be received or accrued under any New Lease other than amounts
that
will constitute Rents from Real Property;
(iii) authorize
any construction on any REO Property, other than the completion of a building
or
other improvement thereon, and then only if more than ten percent of the
construction of such building or other improvement was completed before default
on the related Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Section
856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or
(iv) authorize
any Person to Directly Operate any REO Property on any date more than 90 days
after its date of acquisition by the Trust Fund;
unless,
in any such case, the Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel, provided
to
the Trust Administrator and the Trustee, to the effect that such action will
not
cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any time that it is held by the
Trust Fund, in which case the Servicer may take such actions as are specified
in
such Opinion of Counsel.
The
Servicer may contract with any Independent Contractor for the operation and
management of any REO Property, provided that:
(i) the
terms
and conditions of any such contract shall not be inconsistent
herewith;
(ii) any
such
contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the
Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with
the operation and management of such REO Property, including those listed above
and remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Servicer
as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty days following the
receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;
(iii) none
of
the provisions of this Section 3.23(c) relating to any such contract or to
actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve
the Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the Trustee on behalf
of
the Certificateholders with respect to the operation and management of any
such
REO Property; and
(iv) the
Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the same extent as if it
alone were performing all duties and obligations in connection with the
operation and management of such REO Property.
The
Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Independent
Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations
hereunder for indemnification of the Servicer by such Independent Contractor,
and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it
to
any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of whether the Servicer’s
compensation pursuant to Section 3.18 is sufficient to pay such fees.
(d) In
addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section 3.23(c), the Servicer may
from time to time make withdrawals from the REO Account for any REO Property:
(i) to pay itself or any Sub-Servicer unpaid Servicing Fees in respect of the
related Mortgage Loan; and (ii) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for
unreimbursed Servicing Advances and P&I Advances made in respect of such REO
Property or the related Mortgage Loan. Any income from the related REO Property
received during any calendar months prior to a Final Recovery Determination,
net
of any withdrawals made pursuant to Section 3.23(c) or this Section 3.23(d),
shall be withdrawn by the Servicer from each REO Account maintained by it and
remitted to the Trust Administrator for deposit into the Distribution Account
in
accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii) on the Servicer Remittance Date relating
to
a Final Recovery Determination with respect to such Mortgage Loan, for
distribution on the related Distribution Date in accordance with Section
4.01.
(e) Subject
to the time constraints set forth in Section 3.23(a), and further subject to
obtaining the approval of the insurer under any related Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy (if and to the extent that such approvals are necessary to
make
claims under such policies in respect of the affected REO Property), each REO
Disposition shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price and upon such
terms and conditions as the Servicer shall deem necessary or advisable, as
shall
be normal and usual in its general servicing activities for similar
properties.
(f) The
proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any amount required by law to be
remitted to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan and net of any payment
or reimbursement to the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer as provided above, shall
be
remitted to the Trust Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account
in
accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii) on the Servicer Remittance Date in the
month

with respect to any Mortgaged Property as required by Sections 6050H, 6050J

SECTION 3.24 |
Obligations
of the Servicer in Respect of Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls.
|
The
Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Administrator for deposit into the
Distribution Account on the Servicer Remittance Date from its own funds (or
from
a Sub-Servicer’s own funds received by the Servicer in respect of Compensating
Interest) an amount equal to the applicable Compensating Interest Payment.
The
Servicer shall not be obligated to cover shortfalls due to bankruptcy
proceedings or the application of the Relief Act or similar state or local
laws
and ordinances.
SECTION 3.25 |
Obligations
of the Servicer in Respect of Monthly
Payments.
|
In
the
event that a shortfall in any collection on or liability with respect to any
Mortgage Loan results from or is attributable to adjustments to Mortgage Rates,
Monthly Payments or Stated Principal Balances that were made by the Servicer
in
a manner not consistent with the terms of the related Mortgage Note and this
Agreement, the Servicer, upon discovery or receipt of notice thereof,
immediately shall deliver to the Trust Administrator for deposit in the
Distribution Account from its own funds the amount of any such shortfall and
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Depositor and any successor servicer in respect of any such
liability; provided, however, that the Servicer shall be held harmless from
any
such liability with respect to any such adjustments made by any predecessor
servicer. Such indemnities shall survive the termination or discharge of this
Agreement. If amounts paid by the Servicer with respect to any Mortgage Loan
pursuant to this Section 3.25 are subsequently recovered from the related
Mortgagor, the Servicer shall be permitted to reimburse itself for such amounts
paid by it pursuant to this Section 3.25 from such recoveries.
SECTION 3.26 |
Advance
Facility.
|
(a) The
Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into a financing or other facility (any
such arrangement, an “Advance Facility”), the documentation for which complies
with Section 3.26(e) below, under which (1) the Servicer assigns or pledges
its
rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for any or all P&I Advances
and/or Servicing Advances to (i) a Person, which may be a special-purpose
bankruptcy-remote entity (an “SPV”), (ii) a Person, which may simultaneously
assign or pledge such rights to an SPV or (iii) a lender (a “Lender”), which, in
the case of any Person or SPV of the type described in either of the preceding
clauses (i) or (ii), may directly or through other assignees and/or pledgees,
assign or pledge such rights to a Person, which may include a trustee acting
on
behalf of holders of debt instruments (any such Person or any such Lender,
an
“Advance Financing Person”), and/or (2) an Advance Financing Person agrees to
fund all the P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances required to be made by
the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. No consent of the Trustee,
Certificateholders or any other party shall be required before the Servicer
may
enter into an Advance Facility nor shall the Trustee or the Certificateholders
be a third party beneficiary of any obligation of an Advance Financing Person
to
the Servicer. Notwithstanding the existence of any Advance Facility under which
an Advance Financing Person agrees to fund P&I Advances and/or Servicing
Advances, (A) the Servicer (i) shall remain obligated pursuant to this Agreement
to make P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances pursuant to and as required
by this Agreement and (ii) shall not be relieved of such obligations by virtue
of such Advance Facility and (B) neither the Advance Financing Person nor any
Servicer’s Assignee (as hereinafter defined) shall have any right to proceed
against or otherwise contact any Mortgagor for the purpose of collecting any
payment that may be due with respect to any related Mortgage Loan or enforcing
any covenant of such Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan
documents.
(b) If
the Servicer enters into an Advance Facility, the Servicer and the related
Advance Financing Person shall deliver to the Trust Administrator at the address
set forth in Section 11.05 hereof a written notice (an “Advance Facility
Notice”), stating (a) the identity of the Advance Financing Person and (b) the
identity of the Person (the “Servicer’s Assignee”) that will, subject to Section
3.26(c) hereof, have the right to make withdrawals from the Collection Account
pursuant to Section 3.11 hereof to reimburse previously xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X
Advances and/or Servicing Advances (“Advance Reimbursement Amounts”). Advance
Reimbursement Amounts (i) shall consist solely of amounts in respect of P&I
Advances and/or Servicing Advances for which the Servicer would be permitted
to
reimburse itself in accordance with Section 3.11 hereof, assuming the Servicer
had made the related P&I Advance(s) and/or Servicing Advance(s) and (ii)
shall not consist of amounts payable to a successor Servicer in accordance
with
Section 7.02 hereof to the extent permitted under Section 3.26(e)
below.
(c) Notwithstanding
the existence of an Advance Facility, the Servicer, on behalf of the Advance
Financing Person and the Servicer’s Assignee, shall be entitled to receive
reimbursements of P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances in accordance with
Section 3.11 hereof, which entitlement may be terminated by the Advance
Financing Person pursuant to a written notice to the Trust Administrator in
the
manner set forth in Section 11.05 hereof. Upon receipt of such written notice,
the Servicer shall no longer be entitled to receive reimbursement for any
Advance Reimbursement Amounts and the Servicer’s Assignee shall immediately have
the right to receive from the Collection Account all Advance Reimbursement
Amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, (i)
the
Servicer and/or the Servicer’s Assignee shall only be entitled to reimbursement
of Advance Reimbursement Amounts hereunder from withdrawals from the Collection
Account pursuant to Section 3.11 of this Agreement and shall not otherwise
be
entitled to make withdrawals of, or receive, Advance Reimbursement Amounts
that
shall be deposited in the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.10(b)
hereof, and (ii) none of the Trustee or the Certificateholders shall have any
right to, or otherwise be entitled to, receive any Advance Reimbursement Amounts
to which the Servicer or Servicer’s Assignee, as applicable, shall be entitled
pursuant to Section 3.11 hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the
Trustee or the Certificateholders shall have any right to set off against
Advance Reimbursement Amounts hereunder. An Advance Facility may be terminated
by the joint written direction of the Servicer and the related Advance Financing
Person. Written notice of such termination shall be delivered to the Trust
Administrator in the manner set forth in Section 11.05 hereof. Neither the
Depositor nor the Trustee shall, as a result of the existence of any Advance
Facility, have any additional duty or liability with respect to the calculation
or payment of any Advance Reimbursement Amount, nor, as a result of the
existence of any Advance Facility, shall the Depositor or the Trustee have
any
additional responsibility to track or monitor the administration of the Advance
Facility or the payment of Advance Reimbursement Amounts to the Servicer’s
Assignee. The Depositor and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely without
independent investigation on the Advance Facility Notice and on such Servicer’s
report of the amount of Advance Reimbursement Amounts and Servicing Advance
Reimbursement Amounts that were included in the remittance from such Servicer
to
the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01. The Servicer shall indemnify the
Depositor, the Trustee, any successor Servicer and the Trust Fund for any claim,
loss, liability or damage resulting from any claim by the related Advance
Financing Person, except to the extent that such claim, loss, liability or
damage resulted from or arose out of negligence, recklessness or willful
misconduct on the part of the Depositor, the Trustee or any successor Servicer,
as the case may be, or failure by the successor Servicer or the Trustee, as
the
case may be, to remit funds as required by this Agreement or the commission
of
an act or omission to act by the successor Servicer or the Trustee, as the
case
may be, and the passage of any applicable cure or grace period, such that an
Event of Termination under this Agreement occurs or such entity is subject
to
termination for cause under this Agreement. The Servicer shall maintain and
provide to any successor Servicer and, upon request, the Trustee a detailed
accounting on a loan-by-loan basis as to amounts advanced by, pledged or
assigned to, and reimbursed to any Advance Financing Person. The successor
Servicer shall be entitled to rely on any such information provided by the
predecessor Servicer, and the successor Servicer shall not be liable for any
errors in such information.
(d) [Reserved].
(e) As
between a predecessor Servicer and its Advance Financing Person, on the one
hand, and a successor Servicer and its Advance Financing Person, if any, on
the
other hand, Advance Reimbursement Amounts on a loan-by-loan basis with respect
to each Mortgage Loan as to which an P&I Advance and/or Servicing Advance
shall have been made and be outstanding shall be allocated on a “first-in, first
out” basis. In the event the Servicer’s Assignee shall have received some or all
of an Advance Reimbursement Amount related to P&I Advances and/or Servicing
Advances that were made by a Person other than such predecessor Servicer or
its
related Advance Financing Person in error, then such Servicer’s Assignee shall
be required to remit any portion of such Advance Reimbursement Amount to each
Person entitled to such portion of such Advance Reimbursement Amount. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall remain entitled
to
be reimbursed by the Advance Financing Person for all P&I Advances and/or
Servicing Advances funded by the Servicer to the extent the related Advance
Reimbursement Amounts have not been assigned or pledged to such Advance
Financing Person or Servicer’s Assignee.
(f) For
purposes of any Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer made pursuant to Section
4.03(d), any Nonrecoverable Advance referred to therein may have been made
by
such Servicer or any predecessor Servicer. In making its determination that
any
P&I Advance or Servicing Advance theretofore made has become a
Nonrecoverable Advance, the Servicer shall apply the same criteria in making
such determination regardless of whether such P&I Advance or Servicing
Advance shall have been made by the Servicer or any predecessor
Servicer.
(g) Any
amendment to this Section 3.26 or to any other provision of this Agreement
that
may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an Advance Facility
as
described generally in this Section 3.26, including amendments to add provisions
relating to a successor Servicer, may be entered into by the Trustee, the
Depositor and the Servicer without the consent of any Certificateholder,
provided such amendment complies with Section 11.01 hereof. All reasonable
costs
and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of each party hereto of any such
amendment shall be borne solely by the Servicer. The parties hereto hereby
acknowledge and agree that: (a) the P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances
financed by and/or pledged to an Advance Financing Person under any Advance
Facility are obligations owed to the Servicer payable only from the cash flows
and proceeds received under this Agreement for reimbursement of P&I Advances
and/or Servicing Advances only to the extent provided herein, and the Trustee
and the Trust are not, as a result of the existence of any Advance Facility,
obligated or liable to repay any P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances
financed by the Advance Financing Person; (b) the Servicer will be responsible
for remitting to the Advance Financing Person the applicable amounts collected
by it as reimbursement for P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances funded by
the Advance Financing Person, subject to the provisions of this Agreement;
and
(c) the Trustee shall not have any responsibility to track or monitor the
administration of the financing arrangement between the Servicer and any Advance
Financing Person.

been distributed pursuant to this clause;
(iv) to
the
Holders of REMIC I Regular Interests, in an amount equal to the remainder of
the
REMIC I Sub WAC Allocation Percentage of Available Funds for such Distribution
Date after the distributions made pursuant to clause (ii) above, and such that
distributions of principal shall be deemed to be made to the REMIC I Regular
Interests first, so as to keep the Uncertificated Balance of each REMIC I
Regular Interest ending with the designation “GRP” equal to 0.01% of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan
Group; second, to each REMIC I Regular Interest ending with the designation
“SUB,” so that the Uncertificated Balance of each such REMIC I Regular Interest
is equal to 0.01% of the excess of (x) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance
of
the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group over (y) the current Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class A Certificate in the related Loan Group (except
that if any such excess is a larger number than in the preceding distribution
period, the least amount of principal shall be distributed to such REMIC I
Regular Interests such that the REMIC I Subordinated Balance Ratio is
maintained); and third, any remaining principal to REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTXX; and
(v) any
remaining amount to the Holders of the Class R Certificates (as Holder of the
Class R-I Interest).
(b) On
each
Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall withdraw any amounts then
on
deposit in the Distribution Account that represent Prepayment Charges collected
by the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer in connection with the Principal Prepayment
of any of the Mortgage Loans or any Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amount
and shall distribute such amounts to the Holders of the Class P Certificates.
Such distributions shall not be applied to reduce the Certificate Principal
Balance of the Class P Certificates.
On
each
Distribution Date, for so long as Xxxxxx Loan Servicing LP is the servicer
of
the Mortgage Loans, the Trust Administrator will distribute to the Holders
of
the Class CE-2 Certificates the Excess Servicing Fee.
Following
the foregoing distributions, an amount equal to the amount of Subsequent
Recoveries shall be applied to increase the Certificate Principal Balance of
the
Class of Certificates with the Highest Priority up to the extent of such
Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Certificates pursuant
to
Section 4.04. An amount equal to the amount of any remaining Subsequent
Recoveries shall be applied to increase the Certificate Principal Balance of
the
Class of Certificates with the next Highest Priority, up to the amount of such
Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Certificates pursuant
to
Section 4.04. Holders of such Certificates will not be entitled to any
distribution in respect of interest on the amount of such increases for any
Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on which such increase
occurs. Any such increases shall be applied to the Certificate Principal Balance
of each Certificate of such Class in accordance with its respective Percentage
Interest.
(c) All
distributions made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each
Distribution Date shall be allocated pro
rata
among
the outstanding Certificates in such Class based on their respective Percentage
Interests. Payments in respect of each Class of Certificates on each
Distribution Date will be made to the Holders of the respective Class of record
on the related Record Date (except as otherwise provided in Section 4.01(e)
or
Section 9.01 respecting the final distribution on such Class), based on the
aggregate Percentage Interest represented by their respective Certificates,
and
shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account
of
any such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities
therefor, if such Holder shall have so notified the Trust Administrator in
writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior
to such Distribution Date and with respect to any Class of Certificates other
than the Residual Certificates is the registered owner of Certificates having
an
initial aggregate Certificate Principal Balance that is in excess of the lesser
of (i) $5,000,000 or (ii) two-thirds of the initial Certificate Principal
Balance of such Class of Certificates, or otherwise by check mailed by first
class mail to the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register.
The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but
only
upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office
of the Trust Administrator or such other location specified in the notice to
Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Each
distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the
Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be responsible for
crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its Depository
Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each Depository
Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to the
Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating
brokerage firm (a “brokerage firm” or “indirect participating firm”) for which
it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds
to the Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Depositor or the Servicer shall have any responsibility
therefor except as otherwise provided by this Agreement or applicable
law.
(d) The
rights of the Certificateholders to receive distributions in respect of the
Certificates, and all interests of the Certificateholders in such distributions,
shall be as set forth in this Agreement. None of the Holders of any Class of
Certificates, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the
Servicer shall in any way be responsible or liable to the Holders of any other
Class of Certificates in respect of amounts properly previously distributed
on
the Certificates.
(e) Except
as
otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the Trust Administrator expects
that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates will
be
made on the next Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall, no later
than
five days after the latest related Determination Date, mail on such date to
each
Holder of such Class of Certificates a notice to the effect that:
(i) the
Trust
Administrator expects that the final distribution with respect to such Class
of
Certificates will be made on such Distribution Date, but only upon presentation
and surrender of such Certificates at the office of the Trust Administrator
therein specified, and
(ii) no
interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after the end of the related
Interest Accrual Period.
(iii) Any
funds
not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such
Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender
their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust by the
Trust Administrator and credited to the account of the appropriate non-tendering
Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given
pursuant to this Section 4.01(e) shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the
Trust Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order
to
receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after
the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trust Administrator shall, directly or through an agent,
mail
a final notice to remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning
surrender of their Certificates and shall continue to hold any remaining funds
for the benefit of non-tendering Certificateholders. The costs and expenses
of
maintaining the funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall
be paid out of the assets remaining in such trust fund. If within one year
after
the final notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trust Administrator shall pay to Citigroup Global Markets
Inc.
all such amounts, and all rights of non-tendering Certificateholders in or
to
such amounts shall thereupon cease. No interest shall accrue or be payable
to
any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust by the Trust Administrator
as
a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for
final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(e).
(f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, (i) in no event shall the Certificate Principal
Balance of a Class A Certificate or a Mezzanine Certificate be reduced more
than
once in respect of any particular amount allocated to such Certificate in
respect of Realized Losses pursuant to Section 4.04 and (ii) in no event shall
the Uncertificated Balance of a REMIC Regular Interest be reduced more than
once
in respect of any particular amount both (a) allocated to such REMIC Regular
Interest in respect of Realized Losses pursuant to Section 4.04 and (b)
distributed on such REMIC Regular Interest in reduction of the Uncertificated
Balance thereof pursuant to this Section 4.01.

Loan’s second succeeding Due Date (the “OTS Method”).
