This
TRUST AGREEMENT dated as of February 1, 2007 (the “Agreement”),
is
between XXXXXX XXXXXXX CAPITAL I INC., a Delaware corporation, as depositor
(the
“Depositor”)
and
LASALLE BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as trustee
(the “Trustee”)
and
acknowledged by XXXXXX XXXXXXX MORTGAGE CAPITAL INC., a New York corporation,
as
seller (the “Seller”),
for
purposes of Section 2.05.
WITNESSETH
THAT
In
consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
PRELIMINARY
STATEMENT
The
Depositor is the owner of the Trust Fund that is hereby conveyed to the Trustee
in return for the Certificates. As provided herein, the Trustee will make
multiple elections to treat a segregated pool of assets subject to this
Agreement for federal income tax purposes as the following two separate real
estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a “REMIC”):
the
Subsidiary REMIC and the Master REMIC. The Subsidiary REMIC will consist of
the
Mortgage Loans. The Subsidiary REMIC will issue the uncertificated REMIC regular
interests specified below (each, a “Subsidiary
REMIC Regular Interest”).
The
Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interests will represent the “regular interests” in the
Subsidiary REMIC and the Class SR Interest will represent the single Class
of
“residual interest” in the Subsidiary REMIC.
The
Trustee will hold the Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interest for the benefit of
the
Master REMIC. The Master REMIC will consist of the Subsidiary REMIC Regular
Interests and will be evidenced by the Certificates (other than the Class
R
Certificates), which will constitute the regular interests in the Master
REMIC
(the “Regular
Certificates”)
and
the Class MR Interest, which will represent the single Class of “residual
interest” in the Master REMIC. The Class R Certificates will represent the
beneficial ownership of each of the Class SR and Class MR Interests. The
“latest
possible maturity date”
for
federal income tax purposes of all REMICs, and regular and residual interests
created hereunder will be the Latest Possible Maturity Date.
Subsidiary
REMIC
The
Subsidiary REMIC Interests, each of which (except for the Class SR Interest)
is
hereby designated as a REMIC regular interest for federal income tax purposes,
will have the principal balances, pass-through rates and Corresponding Master
REMIC Certificates as set forth in the following table:

Net WAC Cap for such Distribution
Date.
|
|
(2)
|
Interest
will accrue on each such Class of Certificates during each Interest
Accrual Period for each Distribution Date (i) occurring on or prior
to the
Initial Optimal Purchase Date at a rate equal to 7.000% per annum
and (ii)
occurring after the Initial Optimal Purchase Date at a rate equal
to
7.500% per annum.
|
|
(3)
|
The
minimum dollar denomination for any Certificate purchased by any
Person
within a Member State of the European Economic Area shall be
$100,000.
|
|
(4)
|
The
Class P Certificates will not be entitled to any interest, but will
be
entitled to 100% of any prepayment premiums paid on the Mortgage
Loans.
|
|
(5)
|
The
Class Principal Balance of the Class OC Certificates for any Distribution
Date shall be equal to (x) the aggregate Stated Principal Balances
of the
Mortgage Loans as of such Distribution Date, minus (y) the aggregate
Class
Principal Balances of the other Certificates as of such Distribution
Date.
For purposes of compliance with the REMIC Provisions, the Class OC
Certificates shall have an initial Certificate Balance equal to the
Overcollateralized Amount as of the Closing
Date.
|
|
(6)
|
For
each Interest Accrual Period the Class OC Certificates shall accrue
a
specified portion of the interest on the Subsidiary REMIC Regular
Interests equal to the excess of the Weighted Average Net Mortgage
Rate of
the Mortgage Loans over the product of two and the weighted average
interest rate of the Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interests having “(1)”
designated in the column entitled “Initial Principal Balance” with each
such Class other than the Class S-Accrual Interest subject to a cap
equal
to the Pass-Through Rate of the Corresponding Master REMIC Class
and the
S-Accrual Interest subject to a cap of 0.00%. The Pass-Through Rate
of the
Class OC Certificates shall be a rate sufficient to entitle it to
all
interest accrued on the Mortgage Loans less the interest accrued
on the
other interests issued by the Master REMIC. The Class OC Distributable
Amount for any Distribution Date is payable from current interest
on the
Mortgage Loans and any OC Release Amount for that Distribution
Date.
|
|
(7)
|
The
Class OC Certificates will be issued as a single Class of
Certificates.
|
|
(8)
|
The
Class R Certificates represent beneficial ownership of the sole Class
of
residual interest in each REMIC.
|
|
(9)
|
The
Class R Certificates shall not be entitled to any
interest.
|
|
(10)
|
The
Class R Certificate shall be issued as two separate certificates,
one with
an initial Percentage Interest of 99.99% and the Tax Matters Person
Certificate with an initial Percentage Interest of
0.01%.
|
The
foregoing provisions in the Preliminary Statement are intended to cause net
interest and principal collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans to be
distributed from the Subsidiary REMIC to the Master REMIC and from the Master
REMIC to each Class of Certificates. The Preliminary Statement will be
interpreted and applied consistently with such intent.

representation or warranties, as either party shall furnish to it and as shall
be necessary to vest in such party any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto
and the Trustee, and the related Custodian, shall have no further responsibility
with regard to such Trustee Mortgage File (it being understood that the Trustee
shall have no responsibility for determining the sufficiency of such assignment
for its intended purpose). If pursuant to the foregoing provisions the related
Originator or the Seller repurchases a Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage
Loan, the Servicer shall cause MERS to designate on the MERS® System the related
Originator or the Seller, as applicable, as the beneficial holder of such
Mortgage Loan.
44
In
lieu
of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, the Originator or
the
Seller may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from the Trust Fund (in which
case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more
Replacement Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set
forth in Section 2.05(c) below. It is understood and agreed that the
obligations of the Originators and the Seller to cure or to repurchase (or
to
substitute for) any related Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing,
a
material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which such a breach
has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against the
such
party respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee on
behalf of the Certificateholders.
(c) Any
substitution of Replacement Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage Loans made
pursuant to Section 2.05(b) above must be effected prior to the last
Business Day that is within two years after the Closing Date. As to any Deleted
Mortgage Loan for which the related Originator or the Seller substitutes a
Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by
delivering to the related Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, for such
Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, any related
assignment thereof and the Acknowledgement to the Trustee, and such other
documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, together
with
an Officers’ Certificate stating that each such Replacement Mortgage Loan
satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Adjustment
Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution.
Monthly Payments due with respect to Replacement Mortgage Loans in the month
of
substitution shall not be included as part of the Trust Fund and shall be
retained by the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable. For the month
of substitution, distributions to the Certificateholders shall reflect the
collections and recoveries in respect of such Deleted Mortgage in the Due Period
preceding the month of substitution and the related Originator or the Seller,
as
applicable, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently
received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. Upon such substitution,
such
Replacement Mortgage Loan shall constitute part of the Trust Fund and shall
be
subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement and the related Purchase
Agreement, as modified by the related Acknowledgement, including all
representations and warranties thereof included in such Purchase Agreement,
as
modified by the Acknowledgement, in each case as of the date of
substitution.
45
For
any
month in which an Originator or the Seller substitutes one or more Replacement
Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall
determine the excess (each, a “Substitution
Adjustment Amount”),
if
any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans
exceeds the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Replacement Mortgage
Loans
replacing such Deleted Mortgage Loans, together with one month’s interest on
such excess amount at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate. On the date of such
substitution, the related Originator or Seller, as applicable, shall deliver
or
cause to be delivered to the Servicer for deposit in the related Custodial
Account an amount equal to the related Substitution Adjustment Amount, if any,
and the related Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, upon receipt of the related
Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans and certification by the Servicer of such
deposit, shall release to the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable,
the related Trustee Mortgage File or Files and shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the
related Originator or Seller shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary
to
vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
In
addition, the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall obtain
at
its own expense and deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that such substitution (either specifically or as a class of transactions)
shall
not cause an Adverse REMIC Event. 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.
(d) Upon
discovery by the related Originator, the Seller, the Depositor or the Trustee
that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact
shall within two Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties.
In connection therewith, the applicable Originator or the Seller shall
repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.05(c),
substitute one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage
Loan
within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with
respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Any such repurchase or substitution
shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.05(c) above
and/or in accordance with this Section 2.05(d). The Trustee shall re-convey
to
the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, the Mortgage Loan to
be
released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and
conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a
representation or warranty.

Section
2.06
|
Grant
Clause.
|
(a) It
is
intended that the conveyance of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and
to property constituting the Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement shall
constitute, and shall be construed as, a sale of such property and not a grant
of a security interest to secure a loan. However, if such conveyance is deemed
to be in respect of a loan, it is intended that: (1) the rights and
obligations of the parties shall be established pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement; (2) the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee for the benefit
of the Holders of the Certificates a first priority security interest in all
of
the Depositor’s right, title and interest in, to and under, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired, the Trust Fund and all proceeds of any and all property
constituting the Trust Fund to secure payment of the Certificates; and
(3) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable
law. If such conveyance is deemed to be in respect of a loan and the trust
created by this Agreement terminates prior to the satisfaction of the claims
of
any Person holding any Certificate, the security interest created hereby shall
continue in full force and effect and the Trustee shall be deemed to be the
collateral agent for the benefit of such Person, and all proceeds shall be
distributed as herein provided.
(b) The
Depositor shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such
reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were
deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the other
property described above, such security interest would be deemed to be a
perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will
be
maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. The Depositor will,
at
its own expense, make all initial filings on or about the Closing Date and
shall
forward a copy of such filing or filings to the Trustee. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Depositor shall prepare and forward for filing,
or shall cause to be forwarded for filing, at the expense of the Depositor,
all
filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings
necessary under the relevant UCC to perfect the Trustee’s security interest in
or lien on the Mortgage Loans, including without limitation
(x) continuation statements, and (y) such other statements as may be
occasioned by (1) any change of name of an Originator, the Depositor or the
Trustee, (2) any change of location of the place of business or the chief
executive office of the Seller or the Depositor, (3) any transfer of any
interest of an Originator or the Depositor in any Mortgage Loan or (4) any
change under the relevant UCC or other applicable laws. Neither the Originators
nor the Depositor shall organize under the law of any jurisdiction other than
the State under which each is organized as of the Closing Date (whether changing
its jurisdiction of organization or organizing under an additional jurisdiction)
without giving 30 days prior written notice of such action to its immediate
and
intermediate transferee, including the Trustee. Before effecting such change,
any Originator or the Depositor proposing to change its jurisdiction of
organization shall prepare and file in the appropriate filing office any
financing statements or other statements necessary to continue the perfection
of
the interests of its immediate and intermediate transferees, including the
Trustee, in the Mortgage Loans. In connection with the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement, each of the Originators and the Depositor authorizes its
immediate or intermediate transferee (but not the Trustee) to file in any filing
office any initial financing statements, any amendments to financing statements,
any continuation statements, or any other statements or filings described in
this paragraph (b).

Section
3.01
|
The
Certificates.
|
(a) The
Certificates shall be issuable in registered form only and shall be securities
governed by Article 8 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code. The Book-Entry
Certificates will be evidenced by one or more certificates, beneficial ownership
of which will be held in the dollar denominations in Certificate Balance, or
in
the Percentage Interests, specified herein. Each Class of Certificates will
be
issued in the minimum denominations and integral multiples thereof of the
initial Certificate Balance specified in the Preliminary Statement hereto.
(b) The
Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of
the
Trustee by an authorized officer of the Trustee. Each Certificate shall, on
original issue, be authenticated by the Authenticating Agent upon the order
of
the Depositor upon receipt by the Trustee of the Trustee Mortgage Files
described in Section 2.01. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit
under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on
such
Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided
for herein, executed by an authorized officer of the Authenticating Agent,
by
manual signature, and such certification upon any Certificate shall be
conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been
duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the
date
of their authentication. At any time and from time to time after the execution
and delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor may deliver Certificates executed
by or on behalf of the Trustee to the Authenticating Agent for authentication
and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver such Certificates
as
in this Agreement provided and not otherwise.
(c) The
Class
OC, Class B-4, Class B-5, Class P and Class R Certificates offered
and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration under Rule 144A
under the Securities Act shall be issued initially in definitive, fully
registered form without interest coupons with the applicable legends set forth
in Exhibit A added to the forms of such Certificates (each, a “Restricted
Global Security”).
|
Section
3.02
|
Registration.
|
The
Trustee is hereby appointed, and the Trustee hereby accepts its appointment
as,
initial Certificate Registrar in respect of the Certificates and shall maintain
books for the registration and for the transfer of Certificates (the
“Certificate
Register”).
The
Trustee may appoint a bank or trust company to act as successor Certificate
Registrar. A registration book shall be maintained for the Certificates
collectively. The Certificate Registrar may resign or be discharged or removed
and a new successor may be appointed in accordance with the procedures and
requirements set forth in Sections 6.06 and 6.07 hereof with respect to the
resignation, discharge or removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a
successor Trustee. The Certificate Registrar may appoint, by a written
instrument delivered to the Holders, any bank or trust company to act as
co-registrar under such conditions as the Certificate Registrar may prescribe;
provided,
however,
that
the Certificate Registrar shall not be relieved of any of its duties or
responsibilities hereunder by reason of such appointment.

Section
3.03
|
Transfer
and Exchange of Certificates.
|
(a) A
Certificate (other than Book-Entry Certificates which shall be subject to
Section 3.09 hereof) may be transferred by the Holder thereof only upon
presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate
Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by such
Holder or his duly authorized attorney in such form as shall be satisfactory
to
the Certificate Registrar. Upon the transfer of any Certificate in accordance
with the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall execute, and the Authenticating
Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the transferee, one or more new
Certificates of the same Class and evidencing, in the aggregate, the same
aggregate Certificate Balance as the Certificate being transferred. No service
charge shall be made to a Certificateholder for any registration of transfer
of
Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any registration of transfer of Certificates.
(b) A
Certificate may be exchanged by the Holder thereof for any number of new
Certificates of the same Class, in authorized denominations, representing in
the
aggregate the same Certificate Balance as the Certificate surrendered, upon
surrender of the Certificate to be exchanged at the office of the Certificate
Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
duly
executed by such Holder or his duly authorized attorney in such form as is
satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar. Certificates delivered upon any
such
exchange will evidence the same obligations, and will be entitled to the same
rights and privileges, as the Certificates surrendered. No service charge shall
be made to a Certificateholder for any exchange of Certificates, but the
Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax
or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange
of
Certificates. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the
Trustee shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, date
and
deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is
entitled to receive.
(c) By
acceptance of a Restricted Certificate, whether upon original issuance or
subsequent transfer, each Holder of such a Certificate acknowledges the
restrictions on the transfer of such Certificate set forth thereon and agrees
that it will transfer such a Certificate only as provided herein.
The
following restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer and registration
of transfer of a Restricted Certificate to a transferee that takes delivery
in
the form of a Definitive Certificate:
49
(i) The
Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Restricted Certificate
if
the requested transfer is (x) to the Depositor or an affiliate (as defined
in Rule 405 under the 0000 Xxx) of the Depositor or (y) being made to
a “qualified institutional buyer” (a “QIB”)
as
defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act by a transferor that has
provided the Certificate Registrar with a certificate in the form of
Exhibit H hereto; and
(ii) The
Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Restricted Certificate
if
the requested transfer is being made to an “accredited investor” under
Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act, or to any Person
all of the equity owners in which are such accredited investors, by a transferor
who furnishes to the Certificate Registrar a letter of the transferee
substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto.
(d) No
transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate in the form of a Definitive
Certificate shall be made to any Person or shall be effective unless the
Certificate Registrar, on behalf of the Trustee, has received (A) a
certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto (or
Exhibit B, in the case of a Residual Certificate) from such transferee or
(B) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the
Trustee to the effect that the purchase and holding of such a Certificate will
not constitute or result in any nonexempt prohibited transactions under
Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the
Certificate Registrar, the Trustee or the Depositor to any obligation in
addition to those undertaken in the Agreement; provided,
however,
that
the Certificate Registrar will not require such certificate or opinion in the
event that, as a result of a change of law or otherwise, counsel satisfactory
to
the Certificate Registrar has rendered an opinion to the effect that the
purchase and holding of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate by a Plan or a Person
that is purchasing or holding such a Certificate with the assets of a Plan
will
not constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under Title I of ERISA
or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Certificate Registrar,
the Trustee or the Depositor to any obligation in addition to those undertaken
in this Agreement. Each Transferee of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that
is a
Book-Entry Certificate shall be deemed to have made the appropriate
representation set forth in paragraph 2 and the representation set forth in
paragraph 3 of Exhibit J. The preparation and delivery of the certificate
and opinions referred to above shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the
Certificate Registrar, the Trustee or the Depositor.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no opinion or certificate shall be required for the initial
issuance of the ERISA-Restricted Certificates to the Underwriter. The
Certificate Registrar shall have no obligation to monitor transfers of
Book-Entry Certificates that are ERISA-Restricted Certificates and shall have
no
liability for transfers of such Certificates in violation of the transfer
restrictions. The Certificate Registrar shall be under no liability to any
Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate
that
is in fact not permitted by this Section 3.03(d) and neither the Trustee
nor the Paying Agent shall have any liability for making any payments due on
such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect
to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer
was registered by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with the foregoing
requirements. The Trustee shall be entitled, but not obligated, to recover
from
any Holder of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that was in fact a Plan or a
Person acting on behalf of a Plan any payments made on such ERISA-Restricted
Certificate at and after such time. Any such payments so recovered by the
Trustee shall be paid and delivered by the Trustee to the last preceding Holder
of such Certificate that is not such a Plan or Person acting on behalf of a
Plan.
50
(e) As
a
condition of the registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate, the
Certificate Registrar may require the certified taxpayer identification number
of the owner of the Certificate and the payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any
tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith; provided,
however,
that
the Certificate Registrar shall have no obligation to require such payment
or to
determine whether or not any such tax or charge may be applicable. No service
charge shall be made to the Certificateholder for any registration, transfer
or
exchange of a Certificate.
(f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, no Residual Certificate may be owned,
pledged or transferred, directly or indirectly, by or to (i) a Disqualified
Organization or (ii) an individual, corporation or partnership or other
person unless such person (A) is not a Non-U.S. Person or (B) is a Non-U.S.
Person that holds a Residual Certificate in connection with the conduct of
a
trade or business within the United States and has furnished the transferor
and
the Certificate Registrar with an effective Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8ECI or successor form at the time and in the manner required by the
Code (any such person who is not covered by clause (A) or (B) above is
referred to herein as a “Non-permitted
Foreign Holder”).
Prior
to
and as a condition of the registration of any transfer, sale or other
disposition of a Residual Certificate, the proposed transferee shall deliver
to
the Certificate Registrar an affidavit in substantially the form attached hereto
as Exhibit B representing and warranting, among other things, that such
transferee is neither a Disqualified Organization, an agent or nominee acting
on
behalf of a Disqualified Organization, nor a Non-permitted Foreign Holder (any
such transferee, a “Permitted
Transferee”),
and
the proposed transferor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar an affidavit in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit C. In addition, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may (but
shall have no obligation to) require, prior to and as a condition of any such
transfer, the delivery by the proposed transferee of an Opinion of Counsel,
addressed to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar, that such proposed
transferee or, if the proposed transferee is an agent or nominee, the proposed
beneficial owner, is not a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof,
or a Non-permitted Foreign Holder. Notwithstanding the registration in the
Certificate Register of any transfer, sale, or other disposition of a Residual
Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, an agent or nominee thereof, or
Non-permitted Foreign Holder, such registration shall be deemed to be of no
legal force or effect whatsoever and such Disqualified Organization, agent
or
nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder shall not be deemed to be
a
Certificateholder for any purpose hereunder, including, but not limited to,
the
receipt of distributions on such Residual Certificate. The Depositor and the
Certificate Registrar shall be under no liability to any Person for any
registration or transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Disqualified
Organization, agent or nominee thereof or Non-permitted Foreign Holder or for
the Trustee or the Paying Agent making any payments due on such Residual
Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect
to
such Holder under the provisions of the Agreement, so long as the transfer
was
effected in accordance with this Section 3.03(f), unless the Certificate
Registrar shall have actual knowledge at the time of such transfer or the time
of such payment or other action that the transferee is a Disqualified
Organization, or an agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder.
The Certificate Registrar shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of a
Residual Certificate that was a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee
thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder at the time it became a Holder or
any
subsequent time it became a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof,
or Non-permitted Foreign Holder, all payments made on such Residual Certificate
at and after either such times (and all costs and expenses, including but not
limited to attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection therewith). Any payment (not
including any such costs and expenses) so recovered by the Certificate Registrar
shall be paid and delivered to the last preceding Holder of such Residual
Certificate.
51
If
any
purported transferee shall become a registered Holder of a Residual Certificate
in violation of the provisions of this Section 3.03(f), then upon receipt
of written notice to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that the
registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate was not in fact permitted
by this Section 3.03(f), the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be
restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of such
registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Depositor, the
Certificate Registrar and the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person
for any registration of transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact
not
permitted by this Section 3.03(f), or for the Trustee or the Paying Agent
making any payment due on such Certificate to the registered Holder thereof
or
for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions
of
this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered upon receipt of the
affidavit described in the preceding paragraph of this
Section 3.03(f).
(g) Each
Holder or Certificate Owner of a Restricted Certificate, ERISA-Restricted
Certificate or Residual Certificate, or an interest therein, by such Holder’s or
Owner’s acceptance thereof, shall be deemed for all purposes to have consented
to the provisions of this section.
Neither
the Certified Registrar nor the Trustee will have any responsibility for any
aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial
ownership interests of the Book-Entry Certificates or for maintaining,
supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership
interests or transfers thereof.
|
Section
3.04
|
Cancellation
of Certificates.
|
Any
Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be
cancelled and retained in accordance with normal retention policies with respect
to cancelled certificates maintained by the Certificate Registrar.
|
Section
3.05
|
Replacement
of Certificates.
|
If
(i) any Certificate is mutilated and is surrendered to the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar or (ii) the Certificate Registrar receives evidence
to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and
there is delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar such security
or
indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in
the
absence of notice to the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar
that such destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate has been acquired by a protected
purchaser, the Trustee shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall
authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and
Certificate Balance. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this
Section 3.05, the Trustee, the Depositor or the Certificate Registrar may
require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including
the fees and expenses of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Certificate
Registrar) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant
to
this Section 3.05 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of
ownership in the applicable Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or
not
the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any
time.
52
If
after
the delivery of such new Certificate, a protected purchaser of the original
Certificate in lieu of which such new Certificate was issued presents for
payment such original Certificate, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar
and
the Trustee or any agent shall be entitled to recover such new Certificate
from
the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking therefrom, except
a
protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or
indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expenses
incurred by the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee or any agent
in connection therewith.
|
Section
3.06
|
Persons
Deemed Owners.
|
Subject
to the provisions of Section 3.09 with respect to Book-Entry Certificates,
the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent and
any
agent of any of them shall treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is
registered upon the books of the Certificate Registrar as the owner of such
Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to
Sections 5.01 and 5.02 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of
the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent nor
any
agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
|
Section
3.07
|
Temporary
Certificates.
|
(a) Pending
the preparation of definitive Certificates, upon the order of the Depositor,
the
Trustee shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and
deliver temporary Certificates that are printed, lithographed, typewritten,
mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination,
substantially of the tenor of the definitive Certificates in lieu of which
they
are issued and with such variations as the authorized officers executing such
Certificates may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such
Certificates.
(b) If
temporary Certificates are issued, the Depositor will cause definitive
Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation
of
definitive Certificates, the temporary Certificates shall be exchangeable for
definitive Certificates upon surrender of the temporary Certificates at the
office or agency of the Certificate Registrar without charge to the Holder.
Upon
surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Certificates, the
Trustee shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and
deliver in exchange therefor a like aggregate Certificate Balance of definitive
Certificates of the same Class in the authorized denominations. Until so
exchanged, the temporary Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to
the
same benefits under this Agreement as definitive Certificates of the same
Class.
53
|
Section
3.08
|
Appointment
of Paying Agent.
|
The
Trustee may appoint a Paying Agent (which may be the Trustee) for the purpose
of
making distributions to the Certificateholders hereunder. The Trustee is hereby
appointed as the initial Paying Agent. The Trustee shall cause any Paying Agent,
other than the Trustee, to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument
in
which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that such Paying Agent
will
hold all sums held by it for the payment to the Certificateholders in an
Eligible Account (which shall be the Distribution Account) in trust for the
benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be
paid
to the Certificateholders. All funds remitted by the Trustee to any such Paying
Agent for the purpose of making distributions shall be paid to the
Certificateholders on each Distribution Date and any amounts not so paid shall
be returned on such Distribution Date to the Trustee. If the Paying Agent is
not
the Trustee, the Trustee shall cause to be remitted to the Paying Agent on
or
before the Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, by wire transfer in
immediately available funds, the funds to be distributed on such Distribution
Date. Any Paying Agent shall be either a bank or trust company or otherwise
authorized under law to exercise corporate trust powers.
|
Section
3.09
|
Book-Entry
Certificates.
|
(a) Each
Class of Book-Entry Certificates, upon original issuance, shall be issued in
the
form of one or more typewritten Certificates representing the Book-Entry
Certificates. The Book-Entry Certificates shall initially be registered on
the
Certificate Register in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency, and
no
Certificate Owner will receive a definitive certificate representing such
Certificate Owner’s interest in the Book-Entry Certificates, except as provided
in Section 3.09(c). Unless Definitive Certificates have been issued to
Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates pursuant to
Section 3.09(c):
(i) the
provisions of this Section 3.09 shall be in full force and
effect;
(ii) the
Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Trustee shall deal with the
Clearing Agency for all purposes (including the making of distributions on
the
Book-Entry Certificates) as the authorized representatives of the Certificate
Owners and the Clearing Agency shall be responsible for crediting the amount
of
such distributions to the accounts of such Persons entitled thereto, in
accordance with the Clearing Agency’s normal procedures;
(iii) to
the
extent that the provisions of this Section 3.09 conflict with any other
provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 3.09 shall
control; and
(iv) the
rights of Certificate Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency
and the Clearing Agency Participants and shall be limited to those established
by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency
and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. Unless and until Definitive
Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 3.09(c), the initial Clearing
Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants
and
receive and transmit distributions of principal of and interest on the
Book-Entry Certificates to such Clearing Agency Participants.
54
(b) Whenever
notice or other communication to the Certificateholders is required under this
Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued
to
Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 3.09(c), the Trustee shall give all
such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of
the
Book-Entry Certificates to the Clearing Agency.
(c) If
(A) the Clearing Agency or the Depositor advises the Certificate Registrar
in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to discharge
properly its responsibilities with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates,
and
(B) the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor satisfactory to
the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Registrar shall
notify the Clearing Agency to effect notification to all Certificate Owners,
through the Clearing Agency, of the occurrence of any such event and of the
availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the

(a) On
each
Distribution Account Deposit Date, the Servicer shall remit to the Trustee
for
deposit into the Distribution Account, all amounts so required to be deposited
into such account in accordance with the terms of the Servicing
Agreements.
(b) The
Trustee, shall establish and maintain an Eligible Account entitled “Distribution
Account of LaSalle Bank National Association, as Trustee for the benefit of
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Mortgage Loan Trust 2007-4SL, Holders of Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates.” The Trustee shall, promptly upon receipt from the Servicer on
each related Distribution Account Deposit Date, deposit into the Distribution

amounts:
(i) the
aggregate of collections with respect to the Mortgage Loans remitted by the
Servicer from the Custodial Accounts in accordance with the Servicing Agreement;
and
55
(ii) any
other
amounts so required to be deposited in the Distribution Account in the related
Due Period pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) In
the
event the Servicer has remitted in error to the Distribution Account any amount
not required to be remitted in accordance with the definition of Available
Funds, it may at any time direct the Trustee to withdraw such amount from the
Distribution Account for repayment to the Servicer by delivery of an Officer’s
Certificate to the Trustee which describes the amount deposited in
error.
(d) On
each
Distribution Date and Initial Optional Purchase Date, the Trustee, as Paying
Agent, shall withdraw from funds available in the Distribution Account and
distribute the Available Funds to the Certificateholders and any other parties
entitled thereto in the amounts and priorities set forth in Section 5.02.
The Trustee may from time to time withdraw from the Distribution Account and

or reimbursed to such Person from funds in the Distribution Account pursuant
to
this Agreement, any Purchase Agreement, the Servicing Agreement or the related
Custodial Agreement.
(e) Funds
in
the Distribution Account may be invested in Permitted Investments selected
by
and at the written direction of the Trustee, which shall mature not later than
one Business Day prior to the Distribution Date (except that if such Permitted
Investment is an obligation of the Trustee or any of its Affiliates, or is
managed or advised by the Trustee or any Affiliate, then such Permitted
Investment shall mature not later than such applicable Distribution Date) and
any such Permitted Investment shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its
maturity. All such Permitted Investments shall be made in the name of the
Trustee (in its capacity as such) or its nominee. All income and gain realized
from any Permitted Investment of amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account
shall be for the benefit of the Trustee, as additional compensation for its
duties hereunder, and shall be subject to its withdrawal or order from time
to
time, and shall not be part of the Trust Fund; provided,
however,
that if
LaSalle Bank National Association is no longer the Trustee, any such income
and
gain shall be paid to the successor Trustee. The amount of any losses incurred
in respect of any such investments shall be deposited in such Distribution
Account by the Trustee out of its own funds, without any right of reimbursement
therefor, immediately as realized. At the Trustee’s discretion, funds in the
Distribution Account may remain uninvested.

|
The
Trustee shall withdraw funds from the Distribution Account for distributions

Section
4.03
|
Enforcement
of Servicer’s Obligations.
|
(a) Upon
the
occurrence of a default under the Servicing Agreement of which a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, the Trustee, so long as any such
default shall be continuing, may, and shall if it determines such action to
be
in the best interests of Certificateholders, (i) terminate all of the
rights and powers of the Servicer pursuant to the applicable provisions of
the
Servicing Agreement; (ii) exercise any rights it may have to enforce the
Servicing Agreement against the Servicer; and/or (iii) waive any such
default under the Servicing Agreement or take any other action with respect
to
such default as is permitted thereunder; provided,
however,
that
the Trustee shall not waive any default by the Servicer in making any P&I
Advance required to be made by the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement.
(b) Any
termination by the Trustee of the Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant to the
Servicing Agreement shall not be effected unless or until the Trustee shall
have
assumed all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under the Servicing
Agreement or shall have appointed, with the consent of the Rating Agencies
and
in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Servicing Agreement, a
new
Xxxxxx Xxx- or FHLMC-approved Person to serve as successor to the Servicer
and
such successor to the Servicer has accepted such appointment; provided,
however,
that it
is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that there will be a period
of
transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can
be
fully transferred to a successor servicer. Upon appointment of a successor
servicer, as authorized under this Section 4.03(b), unless the successive
servicer shall have assumed the obligations of the terminated Servicer under
the
Servicing Agreement, the Trustee and such successor servicer shall enter into
a
servicing agreement in a form substantially similar to the affected Servicing
Agreement. In connection with any such appointment, the Trustee may make such
arrangements for the compensation of such successor servicer as it and such
successor servicer shall agree, but in no event shall such compensation of
any
successor servicer be in excess of that payable to the Servicer under the
Servicing Agreement. If the Trustee assumes the servicing of the Mortgage Loans,
it will not assume liability for the representations or warranties of the
Servicer it replaces or for the actions, errors or omissions of such
Servicer.
(c) Upon
any
termination of the Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant to the Servicing
Agreement, the Trustee shall promptly notify each Rating Agency and the
Depositor, specifying in such notice that the successor servicer has succeeded
the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement (or under any other servicing
agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies),
which
notice shall also specify the name and address of any such successor
servicer.
57
(d) The
Depositor shall not consent to the assignment by the Servicer of the Servicer’s
rights and obligations under the Servicing Agreement without the prior written
consent of the Trustee, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
(e) The
Trustee shall execute and deliver, at the written request of the Servicer,
and
furnish to the Servicer, at the expense of the requesting party, a power of
attorney in the standard form provided by the Trustee to take title to the
Mortgaged Properties after foreclosure in the name of and on behalf of the
Trustee and for the purposes described herein to the extent necessary or
desirable to enable the Servicer to perform its duties. The Trustee shall not
be
liable for the actions of the Servicer under such powers of attorney or under
its Servicing Agreement.

respect to substitution of Mortgage Loans in the preceding calendar month,
the
Stated Principal Balance of each Deleted Mortgage Loan, and of each Replacement

Class of Certificates (with a notation if such Pass-Through Rate reflects the
application of the Net WAC Cap);
(o) the
Available Distribution Amount, the Interest Remittance Amount, the Principal
Distribution Amount applicable to such Distribution Date;
(p) if
applicable, the amount of any shortfall (i.e., the difference between the
aggregate amounts of principal and interest which Certificateholders would
have
received if there were sufficient available amounts in the Distribution Account
and the amounts actually distributed);
(q) the
Overcollateralized Amount after giving effect to the distributions made on
such
Distribution Date;
(r) the
amount of any Overcollateralization Increase Amount after giving effect to
the
distributions made on such Distribution Date; and
59
(s) the
level
of LIBOR for such Distribution Date and the level of LIBOR for the following
Distribution Date.
The
Trustee shall make such reports available each month via its website at
xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx. Assistance in using the website may be obtained by calling
the
Trustee’s customer service desk at (000) 000-0000. Certificateholders and other
parties that are unable to use the website are entitled to have a paper copy
mailed to them via first class mail by contacting the Trustee and indicating
such. In preparing or furnishing the foregoing reports, the Trustee shall
be
entitled to rely conclusively on the accuracy and completeness of the
information or data regarding the Mortgage Loans and the related REO Properties
that has been provided to the Trustee by the Servicer, without any independent
investigation, and the Trustee shall not be obligated to verify, recompute,
reconcile or recalculate any such information or data.
Upon
the
reasonable advance written request of any Certificateholder that is a savings
and loan, bank or insurance company, the Trustee shall provide, or cause to
be
provided, (or, to the extent that such information or documentation is not
required to be provided by the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, shall
use
reasonable efforts to obtain such information and documentation from the
Servicer, and provide) to such Certificateholders such reports and access to
information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans as such
Certificateholders may reasonably deem necessary to comply with applicable
regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision or its successor or other
regulatory authorities with respect to an investment in the Certificates;
provided,
however,
that
the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed by such Certificateholders for
the Trustee’s actual expenses incurred in providing such reports and
access.
For
all
purposes of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, delinquencies
shall be determined and reported based on the so-called “OTS” methodology for
determining delinquencies on mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans.
By
way of example, a Mortgage Loan would be delinquent with respect to a Scheduled
Payment due on a Due Date if such Scheduled Payment is not made by the close
of
business on the Mortgage Loan’s next succeeding Due Date, and a Mortgage Loan
would be more than 30-days Delinquent with respect to such Scheduled Payment
if
such Scheduled Payment were not made by the close of business on the Mortgage
Loan’s second succeeding Due Date. The Servicer hereby represents and warrants
to the Depositor that this delinquency recognition policy is not less
restrictive than any delinquency recognition policy established by the primary
safety and soundness regulator, if any, of the Servicer.

|
(a)
Not
later than March 15th of each calendar year commencing in 2008, the Trustee
and
the Custodian shall deliver, and the Trustee shall cause each Subcontractor
utilized by the Trustee and determined by the Trustee to be “participating in a
servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB (in each
case, a “Servicing Function Participant”), to deliver, each at its own expense,
to the Depositor and the Trustee, a report on an assessment of compliance with
the Servicing Criteria applicable to it that contains (A) a statement by such
party of its responsibility for assessing compliance with the Servicing Criteria
applicable to it, (B) a statement that such party used the Servicing Criteria
to
assess compliance with the applicable Servicing Criteria, (C) such party’s
assessment of compliance with the applicable Servicing Criteria as of and for
the period ending the end of the fiscal year covered by the Form 10-K required
to be filed pursuant to Section 6.14 of the Trust Agreement, including, if
there
has been any material instance of noncompliance with the applicable Servicing
Criteria, a discussion of each such failure and the nature and status thereof,
and (D) a statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an
attestation report on such Person’s assessment of compliance with the applicable
Servicing Criteria as of and for such period. Each such assessment of compliance
report shall be addressed to the Depositor and signed by an authorized officer
of the applicable company, and shall address each of the applicable Servicing
Criteria set forth on Exhibit N hereto, or as set forth in the notification
furnished to the Depositor and the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.05(c). The
Trustee and the Custodian hereby acknowledge and agree that their respective
assessments of compliance will cover the items identified on Exhibit N hereto
are being covered by such party. Promptly after receipt of each such report
on
assessment of compliance, (i) the Depositor shall review each such report and,
if applicable, consult with the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable,
Servicer as to the nature of any material instance of noncompliance with the
Servicing Criteria (and Servicing Function Participant engaged or utilized
by
the Trustee), as the case may be. None of the Trustee, the Custodian or
Servicing Function Participant shall be required to cause the delivery of any
such assessments if it has received written confirmation from the Depositor
that
a Form 10-K is not required to be filed in respect of the Trust for the
preceding calendar year.

Not
later than March 15th of each calendar year commencing in 2008, the Trustee
and
the Custodian shall cause, and the Trustee shall cause each Servicing Function
Participant utilized by the Trustee to cause, each at its own expense, a
registered public accounting firm (which may also render other services to
such
party) and that is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants to furnish a report to the Trustee and the Depositor, with a copy
to
the Rating Agencies, to the effect that (i) it has obtained a representation
regarding certain matters from the management of such Person, which includes
an
assertion that such Person has complied with the Servicing Criteria applicable
to it and (ii) on the basis of an examination conducted by such firm in
accordance with standards for attestation engagements issued or adopted by
the
PCAOB, that attests to and reports on such Person’s assessment of compliance
with the Servicing Criteria applicable to it. In the event that an overall
opinion cannot be expressed, such registered public accounting firm shall state
in such report why it was unable to express such an opinion. Each such related
accountant’s attestation report shall be made in accordance with Rules
1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act. Such report must be available for general use and not contain
restricted use language. Promptly after receipt of each such accountants’
attestation report, the Depositor shall review the report and, if applicable,
consult with the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, as to the nature
of
any defaults by the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, (and each Servicing
Function Participant engaged or utilized by the Trustee), as the case may be,
in
the fulfillment of any of the Trustee’s, the Custodian’s or the applicable
Servicing Function Participant’s obligations hereunder. None of the Trustee or
the Custodian or the Servicing Function Participant shall be required to cause
the delivery of any such attestation required by this paragraph in any year
in
which a Form 10-K is not required to be filed in respect of the Trust for the

Function Participant utilized by it, and each such notice will specify what
specific Servicing Criteria will be addressed in the report on assessment of
compliance prepared by such Servicing Function Participant in each case, to
the
extent of any change from the prior year’s notice, if any. When the Trustee
submits its assessment pursuant to Section 4.05(a), the Trustee will also at
such time include the assessment (and related attestation pursuant to Section
4.05(b)) of each Servicing Function Participant utilized by it.

(solely for the purpose of receiving distributions and not for any other
purpose) until the termination of the respective obligations and
responsibilities of the Depositor and the Trustee hereunder in accordance with
Article VII. Wire transfers will be made at the expense of the Holder requesting

with
respect to the Residual Certificates and at such time such final payment in
retirement of any Residual Certificate will be made only upon presentation
and

on
a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment will be made on the next

Allocation
of Losses.

(a) On
or
prior to each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall aggregate the information
provided by the Servicer with respect to the total amount of Realized Losses
for
the related Distribution Date.
(b) Any
Applied Loss Amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated to the
Subordinated Certificates in reverse order of their respective priorities of
payment (beginning with the Class of Class B Certificates then outstanding
with
the highest numerical Class designation or, if no Classes of Class B
Certificates are outstanding, then beginning with the Class of Class M
Certificates then outstanding with the highest numerical Class designation)
until the respective Class Principal Balance of each such Class is reduced
to
zero.
(c) The
Class
Principal Balance of the Class of Subordinated Certificates then outstanding
with the highest numerical Class designation shall be reduced on each
Distribution Date by the Applied Loss Amount, if any. For the avoidance of
doubt, no reductions will be made in the Class Principal Balance of the Senior
Certificates in respect of Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans.
(d) Any
Applied Loss Amounts allocated to a Class of Certificates or any reduction
in
the Class Principal Balance of a Class of Certificates pursuant to Section
5.03(b) above shall be allocated among the Certificates of such Class in
proportion to their respective Certificate Balances.
66
(e) Any
allocation of Realized Losses to a Certificate or any reduction in the
Certificate Balance of a Certificate, pursuant to Section 5.03(b) above shall
be
accomplished by reducing the Certificate Balance thereof immediately following
the distributions made on the related Distribution Date in accordance with
the
definition of “Certificate Balance.”
(f) For
the
avoidance of doubt, no Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated
to the Class P Certificates.
(g) In
the
event of any Subsequent Recoveries, (i) such amount shall be treated as a
Principal Prepayment and shall be included in the Available Distribution Amount
for the Distribution Date occurring in the month following the month in which
such recovery is received and (ii) the Certificate Balance of the Class or
Classes to which the related Realized Loss had previously been allocated,
whether or not such Class or Classes remain outstanding, shall be increased
in
direct order of priority, in each case by an amount equal to the lesser of
(x)
the amount of such recovery and (y) the aggregate amount of Realized Losses
previously allocated to such Classes less amounts previously allocated to such
Classes pursuant to this paragraph.

Section
5.04
|
Determination
of Pass-Through Rates for LIBOR
Certificates.
|
(a) On
each
Interest Determination Date after the initial Interest Determination Date and
for so long as any LIBOR Certificates are outstanding, the Trustee will
determine LIBOR on the basis of the British Bankers’ Association (“BBA”)
“Interest Settlement Rate” for one-month deposits in U.S. dollars as found on
Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m. London time on each Interest Determination
Date.
(b) If
on any
Interest Determination Date, LIBOR cannot be determined as provided in paragraph
(a) of this Section 5.05, the Trustee shall either (i) request each Reference
Bank to inform the Trustee of the quotation offered by its principal London
office for making one-month United States dollar deposits in leading banks
in
the London interbank market, as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such Interest
Determination Date or (ii) in lieu of making any such request, rely on such
Reference Bank quotations that appear at such time on the Reuters Screen LIBO
Page (as defined in the International Swap Dealers Association Inc. Code of
Standard Wording, Assumptions and Provisions for Swaps, 1986 Edition), to the
extent available. LIBOR for the next Interest Accrual Period will be established
by the Trustee on each interest Determination Date as follows:
(i) If
on any
Interest Determination Date two or more Reference Banks provide such offered
quotations, LIBOR for the next applicable Interest Accrual Period shall be
the
arithmetic mean of such offered quotations (rounding such arithmetic mean
upwards if necessary to the nearest whole multiple of 1/32%).
(ii) If
on any
Interest Determination Date only one or none of the Reference Banks provides
such offered quotations, LIBOR for the next Interest Accrual Period shall be
whichever is the higher of (i) LIBOR as determined on the previous Interest
Determination Date or (ii) the Reserve Interest Rate. The “Reserve
Interest Rate”
shall
be the rate per annum which the Trustee determines to be either (i) the
arithmetic mean (rounded upwards if necessary to the nearest whole multiple
of
1/32%) of the one-month United States dollar lending rates that New York City
banks selected by the Trustee are quoting, on the relevant Interest
Determination Date, to the principal London offices of at least two of the
Reference Banks to which such quotations are, in the opinion of the Trustee,
being so made, or (ii) in the event that the Trustee can determine no such
arithmetic mean, the lowest one-month United States dollar lending rate which
New York City banks selected by the Trustee are quoting on such Interest
Determination Date to leading European banks.
67
(iii) If
on any
Interest Determination Date the Trustee is required but is unable to determine
the Reserve Interest Rate in the manner provided in paragraph (b) above, LIBOR
for the related Classes of Certificates shall be LIBOR as determined on the
preceding applicable Interest Determination Date.
(iv) In
the case of the first Distribution Date, LIBOR shall be 5.3200%.
Until
all
of the LIBOR Certificates are paid in full, the Trustee will at all times retain
at least four Reference Banks for the purpose of determining LIBOR with respect
to each Interest Determination Date. The Trustee initially shall designate
the
Reference Banks. Each “Reference
Bank”
shall
be a leading bank engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the
international Eurocurrency market, shall not control, be controlled by, or
be
under common control with, the Trustee and shall have an established place
of
business in London. If any such Reference Bank should be unwilling or unable
to
act as such or if the Trustee should terminate its appointment as Reference
Bank, the Trustee shall promptly appoint or cause to be appointed another
Reference Bank. The Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility to any
Person for (i) the selection of any Reference Bank for purposes of determining
LIBOR or (ii) any inability to retain at least four Reference Banks which is
caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control.
(c) The
Pass-Through Rate for each Class of LIBOR Certificates for each Interest Accrual
Period shall be determined by the Trustee on each Interest Determination Date
so
long as the LIBOR Certificates are outstanding on the basis of LIBOR and the
respective formulae appearing in footnotes corresponding to the LIBOR
Certificates in the table relating to the Certificates in the Preliminary
Statement.
(d) In
determining LIBOR, any Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR Certificates, any
Interest Settlement Rate, or any Reserve Interest Rate, the Trustee may
conclusively rely and shall be protected in relying upon the offered quotations
(whether written, oral or on the Dow Xxxxx Markets) from the BBA designated
banks, the Reference Banks or the New York City banks as to LIBOR, the Interest
Settlement Rate or the Reserve Interest Rate, as appropriate, in effect from
time to time. The Trustee shall not have any liability or responsibility to
any
Person for (i) the selection of New York City banks for purposes of determining
any Reserve Interest Rate or (ii) its inability, following a good-faith
reasonable effort, to obtain such quotations from, the BBA designated banks,
the
Reference Banks or the New York City banks or to determine such arithmetic
mean,
all as provided for in this Section 5.04.
68
(e) The
establishment of LIBOR and each Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR Certificates
by
the Trustee shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final, conclusive and
binding upon each Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee.

resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other
instrument furnished by the Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement,
and shall not be required to recalculate or verify any numerical information
furnished to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement. Subject to the immediately
preceding sentence, if any such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion,
report, document, order or other instrument is found not to conform to the
form
required by this Agreement in a material manner the Trustee shall take such
action as it deems appropriate to cause the instrument to be corrected, and
if
the instrument is not corrected to the Trustee’s satisfaction, the Trustee will
provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders and will, at the expense of

the
required action, take such further action as directed by the
Certificateholders.
(i) The
Trustee shall not have any liability arising out of or in connection with this
Agreement, except for its negligence or willful misconduct. No provision of
this
Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its
own
negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful
misconduct; provided,
however,
that:
(ii) No
provision of this Agreement shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its
own
funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any
of
its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if
it
shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not
reasonably assured to it; and
(iii) The
Trustee shall not be responsible for any act or omission of the Depositor,
the
Seller, the Servicer or any Custodian (unless the Trustee and the Custodian
are
the same Person).

25%
as to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the
Trustee under this Agreement or the Acknowledgements.
(e) The
Trustee shall not be required to perform services under this Agreement, or
to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability for the
performance of any of its duties hereunder or the exercise of any of its rights
or powers if there is reasonable ground for believing that the timely payment
of
its fees and expenses or the repayment of such funds or indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured
to
it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event
require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance
of, any of the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement or the Servicing
Agreement.
(f) The
Trustee shall not be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in the
Distribution Account resulting from any investment loss on any Permitted
Investment included therein (except to the extent that the Trustee is the
obligor and has defaulted thereon).
(g) The
Trustee shall not have any duty (A) to see to any recording, filing, or
depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any
financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest,
or
to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or
to
any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (B) to see to any
insurance, (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment,
or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with
respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Trust Fund other than
from funds available in the Distribution Account, or (D) to confirm or
verify the contents of any reports or certificates of the Servicer delivered
to
the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement believed by the Trustee to be genuine
and
to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.
(h) The
Trustee shall not be liable in its individual capacity for an error of judgment
made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or other officers of the Trustee
unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts.
(i) Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee shall not be liable
for
special, indirect or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever
(including, but not limited to, lost profits), even if the Trustee has been
advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form
of
action.
For
all
purposes under this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have any
notice of any event of default under a Servicing Agreement unless a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice
of
any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Holders
of
the Certificates and this Agreement.

and one copy to the Servicer; the Depositor shall thereupon appoint a successor
trustee in accordance with this Section 6.06.
(d) Any
resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall become effective upon
acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, as provided in

Trustee.
|
(a) Any
successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 6.06 shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor trustee an

successor trustee the entire Trust Fund, together with all necessary instruments
of transfer and assignment or other documents properly executed necessary to
effect such transfer and such of the records or copies thereof maintained by
the
predecessor trustee in the administration hereof as may be requested by the
successor trustee and shall thereupon be discharged from all duties and
responsibilities under this Agreement. In addition, the Depositor and the
predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such other instruments and do
such
other things as may reasonably be required to more fully and certainly vest
and
confirm in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and
obligations.
(b) No
successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 6.07
unless at the time of such appointment such successor trustee shall be eligible
under the provisions of Section 6.05.
(c) Upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section
6.07, such successor trustee shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee
hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the

Percentage Interest) of every Class of Certificates shall have the power from
time to time to appoint one or more Persons, approved by the Trustee, to act
either as co-trustees jointly with the Trustee, or as separate trustees, or
as
custodians, for the purpose of holding title to, foreclosing or otherwise taking
action with respect to any Mortgage Loan outside the state where the Trustee
has
its principal place of business where such separate trustee or co-trustee is
necessary or advisable (or the Trustee has been advised by the Servicer that
such separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary or advisable) under the laws
of
any state in which a property securing a Mortgage Loan is located or for the
purpose of otherwise conforming to any legal requirement, restriction or
condition in any state in which a property securing a Mortgage Loan is located
or in any state in which any portion of the Trust Fund is located. The separate
Trustees, co-trustees, or custodians so appointed shall be trustees or
custodians for the benefit of all the Certificateholders and shall have such
powers, rights and remedies as shall be specified in the instrument of
appointment; provided,
however,
that no
such appointment shall, or shall be deemed to, constitute the appointee an
agent
of the Trustee.
(b) Every
separate trustee, co-trustee, and custodian shall, to the extent permitted
by
law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
conditions:
(i) all
powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon the Trustee in respect
of
the receipt, custody and payment of moneys shall be exercised solely by the
Trustee;
(ii) all
other
rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee
shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee
and
such separate trustee, co-trustee, or custodian jointly, except to the extent
that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts
are
to be performed the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform
such
act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations,
including the holding of title to the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in
any
such jurisdiction, shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee,
co-trustee, or custodian;
76
(iii) no
trustee or custodian hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any
act
or omission of any other trustee or custodian hereunder; and
(iv) the
Trustee may at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by it, with the
concurrence of the Depositor, accept the resignation of or remove any separate
trustee, co-trustee or custodian, so appointed by it or them, if such
resignation or removal does not violate the other terms of this
Agreement.
(c) Any
notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have
been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively
as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee,
co-trustee or custodian shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of
this
Article VI. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the
trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in
its
instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as
may
be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy given to the
Servicer.
(d) Any
separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian may, at any time, constitute the
Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee, co-trustee
or
custodian shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all
of
its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be
exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor trustee.
(e) No
separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian hereunder shall be required to meet
the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 6.05
hereunder and no notice to the Certificateholders of the appointment shall
be
required under Section 6.07 hereof.
(f) The
Trust
shall pay the reasonable compensation of the co-trustees (which compensation
shall not reduce any compensation payable to the Trustee under such
Section).

Section
6.10
|
Authenticating
Agents.
|
(a) The
Trustee may appoint one or more Authenticating Agents which shall be authorized
to act on behalf of the Trustee in authenticating Certificates. In the absence
of any such appointment, references herein to the Authenticating Agent shall
mean the Trustee. Wherever reference is made in this Agreement to the
authentication of Certificates by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of
authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication on
behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of
authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent.
Each Authenticating Agent must be a corporation organized and doing business
under the laws of the United States of America or of any state, having a
combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000, authorized under such
laws
to do a trust business and subject to supervision or examination by federal
or
state authorities.
77
(b) Any
Person into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party,
or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency business of any Authenticating
Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent without the execution
or
filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent.
(c) Any
Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at least 30 days’ advance
written notice of resignation to the Trustee and the Depositor. The Trustee
may
at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written
notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and the Depositor. Upon
receiving a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at
any
time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
the
provisions of this Section 6.10, the Trustee may appoint a successor
authenticating agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to the
Depositor and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Holders of
Certificates. Any successor authenticating agent upon acceptance of its
appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties
and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if
originally named as Authenticating Agent. No successor authenticating agent
shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this
Section 6.10. No Authenticating Agent shall have responsibility or
liability for any action taken by it as such at the direction of the
Trustee.

Section
6.11

Indemnification
of the Trustee.
|
The
Trustee (in its individual capacity and in its capacity as trustee hereunder)
and its directors, officers, employees and agents shall be entitled to
indemnification from the Trust Fund for any loss, liability or expense
(including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of
its
agents or counsel), incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on their
part, arising out of, or in connection with, the acceptance or administration
of
the trusts created hereunder or under the Purchase Agreements, the Servicing
Agreement, Acknowledgements or the Custodial Agreements or in connection with
the performance of their duties hereunder or thereunder including the costs
and
expenses of defending themselves against any claim in connection with the
exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder or
thereunder, provided
that:
(i) with
respect to any such claim, the Trustee shall have given the Depositor written
notice thereof promptly after the Trustee shall have knowledge
thereof;
(ii) while
maintaining control over its own defense, the Trustee shall cooperate and
consult fully with the Depositor in preparing such defense; and
(iii) notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 6.11, the Trust Fund shall not be
liable for settlement of any such claim by the Trustee entered into without
the
prior consent of the Depositor, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
78
The
provisions of this Section 6.11 shall survive any termination of this
Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee or any Custodian and
shall be construed to include, but not be limited to any loss, liability or
expense under any environmental law.
|
Section
6.12
|
Fees
and Expenses of the Trustee.
|
As
compensation for its services hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to
receive all off the investment income on the funds held by it from time to
time
in the Distribution Account. Any expenses incurred by the Trustee shall be
reimbursed in accordance with Section 6.11.
|
Section

|
Collection
of Monies.

Except
as
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Trustee may demand payment
or delivery of, and shall receive and collect, all money and other property

Fund
and shall distribute it as provided in this Agreement.
|
Section
6.14
|
Periodic
Filings
|
(a)
The
Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor in connection with the
reporting requirements of the Trust under the Exchange Act. The Trustee shall
prepare for execution by the Depositor any Forms 8-K (other than the initial
report on Form 8-K), 10-D and 10-K required by the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations of the Commission thereunder, in order to permit the timely
filing thereof pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.14, and the Trustee
shall
file (via the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System) such
Forms executed by the Depositor. The Trustee shall have no duty to verify
information received by it from other Persons (other than Subcontractors
utilized by the Trustee) in connection with its duties under this Section
6.14.
(b)
Within 15 calendar days after each Distribution Date (subject to permitted
extensions under the Exchange Act), the Trustee shall prepare and file on behalf
of the Trust any Form 10-D required by the Exchange Act, in form and substance
as required by the Exchange Act. The Trustee shall file each Form 10-D with
a
copy of the related Monthly Statement attached thereto. Any disclosure in
addition to the Monthly Statement that is required to be included on Form 10-D
(“Additional Form 10-D Disclosure”) shall be prepared by the party responsible
for preparing such disclosure as set forth on Exhibit O hereto and the Trustee
shall compile such disclosure pursuant to the following paragraph. The Trustee
will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine, prepare
or file any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, except as set forth in the next
paragraph.
As
set
forth on Exhibit O hereto, within 5 calendar days after the related Distribution
Date, certain parties to this Agreement shall be required to provide to the
Trustee and the Depositor, to the extent known by such applicable parties,
any
Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, if applicable. In addition, the Servicer is
obligated under the Servicing Agreement to provide certain information to the
Trustee. The Trustee shall compile all such information provided to it in a
Form
10-D prepared by it.
79
After
preparing the Form 10-D, the Trustee shall forward electronically a draft copy
of the Form 10-D to the Depositor for review, verification and execution by
the
Depositor. No later than 2 Business Days prior to the 15th calendar day after
the related Distribution Date, an officer of the Depositor shall sign the Form
10-D and return an electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 10-D (with an
original executed hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to the Trustee. If
a
Form 10-D cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-D needs
to be
amended, the Trustee will follow the procedures set forth in Section
6.14(f)(ii). The signing party at the Depositor can be contacted at the
Depositor’s address for notices set forth in Section 10.07, or such other
address as to which the Depositor has provided prior written notice to the
Trustee. The Depositor acknowledges that the performance by the Trustee of
its
duties under this Section 6.14(b) related to the timely preparation and filing
of Form 10-D is contingent upon the Servicer, the Depositor and any other Person
obligated to provide Additional Form 10-D Disclosure as set forth on Exhibit
O
hereto observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties
under this Section 6.14(b) or the applicable provisions of the Servicing
Agreement. The Trustee shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage,
or
claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or
timely file such Form 10-D, where such failure results from the Trustee’s
inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information
from any party hereto or the Servicer or Custodian (other than the Trustee
or
any Subcontractor utilized by the Trustee) needed to prepare, arrange for
execution or file such Form 10-D, not resulting from its own negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct.
(c)
Within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Trust or such earlier
date as may be required by the Exchange Act (the “10-K Filing Deadline”),
commencing in March 2007, the Trustee shall prepare and file on behalf of the
Trust a Form 10-K, in form and substance as required by the Exchange Act. Each
such Form 10-K shall include the following items, in each case to the extent
they have been delivered to the Trustee within the applicable time frames set
forth in this Agreement, (i) an annual compliance statement for the Servicer,
and each Subservicer engaged by the Servicer, and the Trustee, (ii)(A) the
annual reports on assessment of compliance with servicing criteria for the
Trustee, the Servicer, the Custodian, each Subservicer engaged by the Servicer
and each Servicing Function Participant utilized by the Servicer or the Trustee,
and (B) if any such report on assessment of compliance with servicing criteria
identifies any material instance of noncompliance, disclosure identifying such
instance of noncompliance, or such report on assessment of compliance with
servicing criteria is not included as an exhibit to such Form 10-K, disclosure
that such report is not included and an explanation why such report is not
included, (iii)(A) the registered public accounting firm attestation report
for
the Trustee, the Servicer, the Custodian, each Subservicer engaged by the
Servicer and each Servicing Function Participant utilized by the Servicer,
or
the Trustee, and (B) if any registered public accounting firm attestation report
identifies any material instance of noncompliance, disclosure identifying such
instance of noncompliance, or if any such registered public accounting firm
attestation report is not included as an exhibit to such Form 10-K, disclosure
that such report is not included and an explanation why such report is not
included, and (iv) a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L,
with such changes as may be necessary or appropriate as a result of changes
promulgated by the Commission (the “Sarbanes Certification”), which shall be
signed by the senior officer of the Depositor in charge of securitization.
Any
disclosure or information in addition to (i) through (iv) above that is required
to be included on Form 10-K (“Additional Form 10-K Disclosure”) shall be
prepared by party responsible for preparing such disclosure as set forth on
Exhibit P hereto, and the Trustee shall compile such disclosure pursuant to
the
following paragraph. The Trustee will have no duty or liability for any failure
hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure, except
as
set forth in the next paragraph.
80
As
set
forth on Exhibit P hereto, no later than March 15th of
each
year that the Trust is subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements,
commencing in 2007, certain parties to this Agreement and the Servicer and
the
Custodian shall be required to provide to the Trustee and the Depositor, to
the
extent known by such applicable parties, any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure,
if
applicable. In addition, the Servicer is obligated under the Servicing Agreement
to provide certain information to the Trustee. The Trustee shall compile all
such information provided to it in a Form 10-K prepared by it.
After
preparing the Form 10-K, the Trustee shall forward electronically a draft copy
of the Form 10-K to the Depositor for review, verification and execution by
the
Depositor. No later than 5:00 p.m. EST on the 3rd Business Day prior to the
10-K
Filing Deadline, an officer of the Depositor shall sign the Form 10-K and return
an electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 10-K (with an original executed
hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to the Trustee. If a Form 10-K cannot
be
filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-K needs to be amended, the
Trustee will follow the procedures set forth in Section 6.14(f)(ii). The signing
party at the Depositor can be contacted at the Depositor’s address for notices
set forth in Section 10.07, or such other address as to which the Depositor
has
provided prior written notice to the Trustee. The Depositor acknowledges that
the performance by the Trustee of its duties under this Section 6.14(c) related
to the timely preparation and filing of Form 10-K is contingent upon the
Servicer (and any Subservicer or Servicing Function Participant engaged by
the
Servicer) and the Depositor and any other Person obligated to provide Additional
Form 10-K Disclosure as set forth on Exhibit P hereto, observing all applicable
deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Section 6.14(c), Section
6.14(d), or the applicable provisions of the Servicing Agreement. The Trustee
shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out
of or
with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely file such Form
10-K, where such failure results from the Trustee’s inability or failure to
obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any party hereto
(other than the Trustee or any Subcontractor utilized by the Trustee) needed
to
prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-K, not resulting from its
own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
(d)
In
connection with the execution of a Sarbanes Certification, the Trustee shall
sign a certification (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M, with such
changes as may be necessary or appropriate as a result of changes promulgated
by
the Commission) for the benefit of the Depositor and its officers, directors
and
Affiliates, and the Servicer shall sign a certification solely with respect
to
the Servicer (in the form attached to the Servicing Agreement, with such changes
as may be necessary or appropriate as a result of changes promulgated by the
Commission) for the benefit of the Depositor, the Trustee and their respective
officers, directors and Affiliates. Each such certification shall be delivered
to the Depositor no later than March 10th of each year (or if such day is not
a
Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) and the Depositor shall
deliver the Sarbanes Certification no later than the time set forth for the
delivery to the Trustee of the signed Form 10-K pursuant to Section 6.14(d)
for
such year. In the event that prior to the filing date of the Form 10-K in March
of each year, the Trustee or the Servicer has actual knowledge of information
material to the Sarbanes Certification, that party shall promptly notify the
Depositor and each of the other parties signing the certifications. In addition,
the Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and the Sponsor
and
their officers, directors, employees, agents and Affiliates from and against
any
losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal
fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out
of or
based upon any breach of the Trustee’s obligations under this Section 6.14(d) or
any material misstatement or material omission contained in any information,
report, certification or other material provided by the Trustee in written
or
electronic form pursuant to Section 6.14 of this Agreement and Exhibits O,
P and
Q to this Agreement provided by the Trustee (excluding any information, report,
accountants’ letter, certification or other materials provided in written or
electronic form by or on behalf of any Person other than the Trustee or any
Subcontractor utilized by the Trustee), which results from negligence, bad
faith
or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee in connection therewith. If
the
indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold
harmless any indemnified party, then the Trustee agrees in connection with
a
breach of the Trustee’s obligations under this Section 6.14(d) or any material
misstatement or material omission contained in any information, report,
certification or other material provided in written or electronic form pursuant
to Section 6.14 of this Agreement and Exhibits O, P and Q to this Agreement
provided by or on behalf of the Trustee (excluding any information, report,
certification, accountants’ letter or other materials provided in written or
electronic form by or on behalf of any Person other than the Trustee or any
Subcontractor utilized by the Trustee), results from the negligence, bad faith
or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee in connection therewith that
it
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Depositor and the Sponsor
as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Depositor
and
the Sponsor in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault
of the Depositor and the Sponsor on the one hand and the Trustee on the
other.
81
(e)
Upon
any filing with the Commission, the Trustee shall promptly deliver to the
Depositor a copy of each such executed report, statement or
information.
(f)
(i)
The obligations set forth in paragraphs (a) through (d) of this Section shall
only apply with respect to periods for which reports are required to be filed
with respect to the Trust under the Exchange Act. Prior to January 30 of the
first year in which the Trustee is able to do so under applicable law, the
Trustee shall file a Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust,
with a copy to the Depositor. At any time after the filing of a Form 15
Suspension Notification, if the number of Holders of the Offered Certificates
of
record exceeds the number set forth in Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act or
the
regulations promulgated pursuant thereto which would cause the Trust to again
become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Trustee
shall recommence preparing and filing reports on Form 10-K, 10-D and 8-K as
required pursuant to this Section 6.14 and the parties hereto shall again have
the obligations set forth in this Section, in Section 12 of the Custodial
Agreement and Section 5.04 of the Servicing Agreement.
82
(ii)
In
the event that the Trustee is unable to timely file with the Commission all
or
any required portion of any Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K required to be filed pursuant
to this Agreement because required disclosure information was either not
delivered to it or delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set forth in
this Agreement, the Trustee will immediately notify the Depositor and the
Servicer. In the case of Form 10-D and 10-K, the Depositor, the Servicer and
the
Trustee will thereupon cooperate to prepare and file a Form 12b-25 and a 10-DA
and 10-KA as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act. In the
case of Form 8-K, the Trustee will, upon receipt of all disclosure information
required to be included on Form 8-K, include such disclosure information on
the
next Form 10-D. In the event that any previously filed Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K
needs to be amended, the party to this Agreement deciding that an amendment
to
such Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K is required will notify the Depositor, the Trustee
and the Servicer and such parties will cooperate to prepare any necessary Form
8-KA, 10-DA or 10-KA. Any Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K,
10-D or 10-K shall be signed by an officer of the Depositor. The Depositor
acknowledges that the performance by the Trustee of its duties under this
Section 6.14(f) related to the timely preparation and filing of Form 15, a
Form
12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K is contingent upon the
Servicer, the Depositor observing all applicable deadlines in the performance
of
their duties under this Section 6.14 or the applicable provisions of the
Servicing Agreement. The Trustee shall have no liability for any loss, expense,
damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare
and/or timely file any such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms
8-K,
10-D or 10-K, where such failure results from the Trustee’s inability or failure
to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from the Depositor,
the
Servicer or the Custodian (other than the Trustee or any Subcontractor utilized
by the Trustee) needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form
15,
Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, not resulting from
its
own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
(g)
Within four (4) Business Days after the occurrence of an event requiring
disclosure on Form 8-K (each such event, a “Reportable
Event”),
and
also if requested by the Depositor, the Trustee shall prepare and file on behalf
of the Trust any Form 8-K, as required by the Exchange Act, provided that the
Depositor shall file the initial Form 8-K in connection with the issuance of
the
Certificates. Any disclosure or information related to a Reportable Event or
that is otherwise required to be included on Form 8-K (“Form 8-K Disclosure
Information”) shall be prepared by the party responsible for preparing such
disclosure as set forth on Exhibit Y hereto and compiled by the Trustee pursuant
to the following paragraph. The Trustee will have no duty or liability for
any
failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Form 8-K Disclosure Information
or
any Form 8-K, except as set forth in the next paragraph.
As
set
forth on Exhibit Q hereto, for so long as the Trust is subject to the Exchange
Act reporting requirements, no later than noon on the 2nd Business Day after
the
occurrence of a Reportable Event, certain parties to this Agreement and the
Servicer under the Servicing Agreement shall be required to provide to the
Depositor and the Trustee, to the extent known by such applicable parties,
any
Form 8-K Disclosure Information, if applicable. In addition, the Servicer is
obligated under the Servicing Agreement to provide certain information to the
Trustee. The Trustee shall compile all such information provided to it in a
Form
8-K prepared by it.
83
After
preparing the Form 8-K, the Trustee shall forward electronically a draft copy
of
the Form 8-K to the Depositor for review, verification and execution by the
Depositor. No later than the end of the 3rd Business Day after the Reportable
Event, an officer of the Depositor shall sign the Form 8-K and return an
electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 8-K (with an original executed hard
copy to follow by overnight mail) to the Trustee. If a Form 8-K cannot be filed
on time or if a previously filed Form 8-K needs to be amended, the Trustee
will
follow the procedures set forth in Section 6.14(f)(ii). The signing party at
the
Depositor can be contacted at the Depositor’s address for notices set forth in
Section 10.07, or such other address as to which the Depositor has provided
prior written notice to the Trustee. The Depositor acknowledges that the
performance by the Trustee of its duties under this Section 6.14(g) related
to
the timely preparation and filing of Form 8-K is contingent upon the Servicer,
the Depositor and any other Person obligated to provide Form 8-K Disclosure
Information as set forth on Exhibit Q hereto, observing all applicable deadlines
in the performance of their duties under this Section 6.14(g). The Trustee
shall
have no liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or
with
respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely file such Form 8-K,
where such failure results from the Trustee’s inability or failure to obtain or
receive, on a timely basis, any information from any party hereto (other than
the Trustee or any Subcontractor utilized by the Trustee) needed to prepare,
arrange for execution or file such Form 8-K, not resulting from its own
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
(h)
The
Trustee shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising
out of or resulting from (i) the accuracy or inaccuracy of any Additional Form
10-D Disclosure, Additional Form 10-K Disclosure or Form 8-K Disclosure
Information (excluding any information therein provided by the Trustee or any
Subcontractor utilized by the Trustee) provided to the Trustee in connection
with the preparation of Forms 10-D, 10-K and 8-K pursuant to this Section 6.14,
or (ii) the failure of the Depositor to timely execute and return for filing
any
Forms 10-D, 10-K and 8-K required to be filed by the Trustee pursuant to this
Section 6.14, in either case, not resulting from the Trustee’s own negligence,
bad faith or misconduct.

PURCHASE
OF MORTGAGE LOANS AND
TERMINATION
OF THE TRUST FUND
|
Section
7.01
|
Purchase
of Mortgage Loans; Termination of Trust Fund Upon Purchase or Liquidation
of All Mortgage Loans.
|
(a) The
obligations and responsibilities of the Trustee created hereby (other than
the
obligation of the Trustee to make payments to the Certificateholders as set
forth in Section 7.02), shall terminate on the earliest of (i) the
final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the
Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO Property, (ii) the sale or
auction of the property held by the Trust Fund in accordance with
Section 7.01(b) or 7.01(c) and (iii) the Latest Possible Maturity
Date; provided,
however,
that in
no event shall the Trust Fund created hereby continue beyond the expiration
of
21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X.
Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s,
living on the date hereof. Any termination of the Trust Fund shall be carried
out in such a manner so that the termination of each REMIC included therein
shall qualify as a “qualified liquidation” under the REMIC
Provisions.
(b) On
the
Initial Optional Termination Date, at the option of and in consultation with
the
Depositor, the Auction Administrator shall solicit bids for the Pool Assets
from
at least three institutions that are regular purchasers and/or sellers in the
secondary market of residential whole mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage
Loans. If the Auction Administrator receives at least three bids for the Pool
Assets, and one of such bids is equal to or greater than the Minimum Auction
Price, the Auction Administrator shall sell the related Pool Assets to the
highest bidder (the “Auction
Purchaser”)
at the
price offered by the Auction Purchaser (the “Mortgage
Loan Auction Price”).
If
the Auction Administrator receives less than three bids, or does not receive
any
bid that is at least equal to the Minimum Auction Price, unless the Servicer
exercises its option under subsection (c) below, the Auction Administrator
shall, on each six-month anniversary of the initial Optional Termination Date,
repeat these auction procedures until the Auction Administrator receives a
bid
that is at least equal to the Minimum Auction Price, at which time the Auction
Administrator shall sell the Pool Assets to the Auction Purchaser at that
Mortgage Loan Auction Price; provided,
however,
that
the Auction Administrator shall not be required to repeat these auction
procedures on any Distribution Date for any six-month anniversary of the initial
Optional Termination Date unless the Auction Administrator reasonably believes
that there is a reasonable likelihood of receiving a bid of at least the Minimum
Auction Price. The Auction Administrator shall give notice to the Rating
Agencies and the Servicer that is servicing any of the Mortgage Loans of the
sale of the Pool Assets pursuant to this Section 7.01(b) (an “Auction
Sale”)
and of
the date of such auction (the “Auction
Date”).
The
Trustee may engage an investment banking firm and/or other agents in connection
with the Auction, the cost of which shall be included in the Minimum Auction
Price (unless an Optional Termination does not occur in which case such costs
shall be an expense of the Trust Fund); provided, however, that any such
engagement and the choice of any such investment banking firm and/or other
agents shall be subject to the consent of the Depositor.
85
(c) On
any
Distribution Date occurring after the Initial Optional Purchase Date, the
Servicer shall have the option to cause the Trust Fund to adopt a plan of
complete liquidation of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Sections 7.02 and
7.03 hereof to sell all of the property related thereto. If the Servicer elects
to exercise such option, it shall no later than 30 days prior to the
Distribution Date selected for purchase of the Mortgage Loans and all other
assets of the Trust Fund (the “Purchase
Date”)
deliver written notice to the Trustee and either (a) deposit in the
Distribution Account the related Redemption Price or (b) state in such
notice that the Redemption Price shall be deposited in the Distribution Account
not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable Purchase Date.
Upon exercise of such option, the property of the Trust Fund shall be sold
to
the Servicer at a price equal to the related Redemption Price.
(d) The
Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and each Custodian shall be reimbursed
from
the Redemption Price for any P&I Advances, Servicer Advances, accrued and
unpaid Servicing Fees or other amounts with respect to the Mortgage Loans and
any related assets being purchased pursuant to Section 7.01(b) or 7.01(c) above
that are reimbursable to such parties (and such other amounts which, if not
related to the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund not being
purchased, that are then due and owing to any such Person) under this Agreement
and the Servicing Agreement or the related Custodial Agreement.

Section
7.02
|
Procedure
Upon Redemption of Trust Fund.
|
(a) Notice
of
any termination pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.01, specifying the
Distribution Date upon which the final distribution shall be made or the
purchase of the Trust’s assets will occur, shall be given promptly by the
Trustee by first class mail to the Certificateholders mailed in the case of
a
redemption of the Certificates, no later than (i) the first day of the month
in
which the Distribution Date selected for redemption of such Certificates shall
occur or (ii) upon (x) the sale of all of the property of the Trust Fund by
the Trustee or in the case of a sale of assets of the Trust Fund, or
(y) upon the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan
or REO Property in the Trust Fund. Such notice shall specify (A) the
Initial Optional Purchase Date, Distribution Date upon which final distribution
on the Certificates of all amounts required to be distributed to
Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.02 will be made upon presentation
and surrender of the Certificates at the Certificate Registrar’s Corporate Trust
Office, and (B) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such
Distribution Date is not applicable, distribution being made only upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of the
Trustee therein specified. The Trustee shall give such notice to the Certificate
Registrar, if not the Trustee, at the time such notice is given to Holders
of
the Certificates. Upon any such termination, the duties of the Certificate
Registrar with respect to the affected Certificates shall terminate and the
Trustee shall terminate the Distribution Account and any other account or fund
maintained with respect to the Certificates, subject to the Trustee’s obligation
hereunder to hold all amounts payable to Certificateholders in trust without
interest pending such payment.
(b) In
the
event that all of the Holders do not surrender their Certificates for
cancellation within three months after the time specified in the above-mentioned
written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive
the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second
notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the
Trustee may take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders
concerning surrender of such Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid
out of the amounts distributable to such Holders. If within two years after
the
second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation,
the Trustee shall deliver any remaining funds being held by it to the Holder
of
the Class R Certificates and the Holder of the Class R Certificates shall,
subject to applicable state law relating to escheatment, hold all amounts
distributable to such Holders for the benefit of such Holders. No interest
shall
accrue on any amount held by the Trustee and not distributed to a
Certificateholder due to such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its
Certificate(s) for payment of the final distribution thereon in accordance
with
this Section 7.02. The foregoing provisions are intended to distribute to each
Class of Certificates any accrued and unpaid interest and/or principal to which
they are entitled based on their Pass-Through Rates and Class Certificate
Balances set forth in the Preliminary Statement upon liquidation of the Trust
Fund.
86
(c) Any
reasonable expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with any purchase
or
termination or liquidation of the portion of the Trust Fund shall be reimbursed
from proceeds received from the liquidation of the Trust Fund.
(d) Any
purchase of the Pool Assets by the Auction Purchaser shall be made on an Auction
Date by receipt of the Auction Administrator of the Mortgage Loan Auction Price
from the Auction Purchaser, and deposit of the Mortgage Loan Auction Price
into
the Distribution Account by the Auction Administrator before the Distribution
Date on which such purchase is effected. Upon deposit of such purchase price
into the Distribution Account, the Trustee shall, upon request and at the
expense of the Auction Purchaser execute and deliver all such instruments of
transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be reasonably
requested by the Auction Purchaser to vest title in the Auction Purchaser in
the
Pool Assets so purchased and shall transfer or deliver to the Auction Purchaser
the purchased Pool Assets.

Section
7.03
|
Additional
Trust Fund Termination Requirements.
|
(a) On
the
termination of the Trust Fund under Section 7.01 (a), upon an Auction Sale
pursuant to Section 7.01(b) or upon the exercise of the right to purchase all
of
the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 7.01(c), the Trustee shall comply with
requirements of this Section 7.03 with respect to each REMIC and with respect
to
the Certificates, unless the party having the right to purchase the assets
of
the Affected REMIC (the “Purchaser”)
delivers to the Trustee, an Opinion of Counsel (at the Servicer’s expense),
addressed to the Trustee to the effect that the failure of the Trustee to comply
with the requirements of this Section 7.03 will not result in an Adverse REMIC
Event:
(i) Within
89
days prior to the time of making the final payment on the Certificates, (and
upon notification by (1) the Auction Administrator in the case of a purchase
under Section 7.01(b) or (2) the Servicer in the case of a purchase under
Section 7.01(c)) the Trustee shall adopt on behalf of each REMIC, a plan of
complete liquidation, meeting the requirements of a qualified liquidation under
the REMIC Provisions;
87
(ii) Any
sale
of the assets of any REMIC shall be for cash and shall occur at or after the
time the plan of complete liquidation is adopted and prior to the time the
final
payments on the Certificates are made;
(iii)
On the
date specified for final payment of the Certificates, the Trustee shall make
final distributions of principal and interest on the Certificates in accordance
with Section 5.02 and, after payment of, or provision for any outstanding
expenses, distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited, to
the
Holders of the Residual Certificates all cash on hand after such final payment
(other than cash retained to meet claims), and the portion of the Trust Fund
(and each REMIC) shall terminate at that time; and
(i) In
no
event may the final payment on the Certificates or the final distribution or
credit to the Holders of the Residual Certificates be made after the 89th day
from the date on which the plan of complete liquidation is adopted.
(b) By
its
acceptance of a Residual Certificate, each Holder thereof hereby agrees to
accept the plan of complete liquidation adopted by the Trustee under this
Section 7.03 and to take such other action in connection therewith as may be
reasonably requested by the Trustee or the Servicer.
|
Section
7.04
|
Charged-off
Loans and Released Mortgage Loans.
|
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each Charged-off Loan
that
becomes a Released Mortgage Loan shall be released from the Trust Fund as soon
as practicable after the Trustee has received notice in writing from the
Servicer that a Mortgage Loan has become a Released Mortgage Loan. Upon receipt
of such notice, the Trustee shall cause the related Custodian to release to
the
Released Mortgage Transferee the related Trustee Mortgage File and the Trustee
shall execute and delivery such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each
case without recourse, representation or warranty, as the Released Mortgage
Transferee shall furnish to the Trustee and as shall be necessary to vest in
such party the Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto. Thereafter (i) the
Released Mortgage Loan shall no longer constitute part of the Trust Fund or
be
an asset of any REMIC, and the Released Mortgage Transferee shall be entitled
to
any amounts subsequently received in respect of any such Released Mortgage
Loans, (ii) the Released Mortgage Transferee may designate any servicer to
service any such Released Mortgage Loan and (iii) the Released Mortgage
Transferee may sell any such Released Mortgage Loan to a third party. For
purposes of compliance with the REMIC Provisions, any such Released Mortgage
Loan transferred to the Released Mortgage Transferee pursuant to this Section
7.04 and having any value as of the date of such transfer shall be treated
as
having been transferred by the related REMIC as additional compensation for
services provided to such REMIC and if no such services were provided, as an
additional distribution to the Class OC Certificates.

RIGHTS
OF
CERTIFICATEHOLDERS
|
Section
8.01
|
Limitation
on Rights of Holders.
|
(a) The
death
or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this
Agreement or this Trust Fund, nor entitle such Certificateholder’s legal
representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or take any action or proceeding
in any court for a partition or winding up of this Trust Fund, nor otherwise
affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any
of
them. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no Certificateholder,
solely by virtue of its status as a Certificateholder, shall have any right
to
vote or in any manner otherwise control the Trustee or the operation and
management of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor
shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Certificates,
be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as
partners or members of an association, nor shall any Certificateholder be under
any liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the parties
to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.
(b) No
Certificateholder, solely by virtue of its status as Certificateholder, shall
have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Agreement
to
institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under
or
with respect to this Agreement, unless the Holders of Certificates evidencing
not less than 25% of the Class Principal Amount or Percentage Interest of
Certificates of each Class affected thereby shall have made written request
upon
the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as
Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable
indemnity as it may require against the cost, expenses and liabilities to be
incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for sixty days after its receipt
of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused
to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and no direction inconsistent
with such written request has been given such Trustee during such sixty-day
period by such Certificateholders; it being understood and intended, and being
expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other
Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates
shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing of any
provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the
Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain
priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right
under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the benefit
of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions
of this Section 8.01, each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall
be
entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.
|
Section
8.02
|
Access
to List of Holders.
|
(a) If
the
Trustee is not acting as Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Registrar will
furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee, within fifteen days after
receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a request by the Trustee in writing,
a
list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and
addresses of the Certificateholders of each Class as of the most recent Record
Date.
89
(b) If
three
or more Holders or Certificate Owners (hereinafter referred to as “Applicants”)
apply
in writing to the Certificate Registrar, and such application states that the
Applicants desire to communicate with other Holders with respect to their rights
under this Agreement or under the Certificates and is accompanied by a copy
of
the communication which such Applicants propose to transmit, then the
Certificate Registrar shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of
such
application, afford such Applicants reasonable access during the normal business
hours of the Certificate Registrar to the most recent list of Certificateholders
held by the Certificate Registrar or shall, as an alternative, send, at the
Applicants’ expense, the written communication proffered by the Applicants to
all Certificateholders at their addresses as they appear in the Certificate
Register.
(c) Every
Holder or Certificate Owner, if the Holder is a Clearing Agency, by receiving
and holding a Certificate, agrees with the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar
and the Trustee that none of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar nor the
Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such
information as to the names and addresses of the Certificateholders hereunder,
regardless of the source from which such information was derived.
|
Section
8.03
|
Acts
of Holders of Certificates.
|
(a) Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by Holders or Certificate
Owners, if the Holder is a Clearing Agency, may be embodied in and evidenced
by
one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders
in
person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise
expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument
or
instruments are delivered to the Trustee. Such instrument or instruments (as
the
action embodies therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred
to
as an “Act”
of
the
Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such
instrument or of a writing appointing any such agents shall be sufficient for
any purpose of this Agreement and conclusive in favor of the Trustee, if made
in
the manner provided in this Section 8.03.
(b) The
fact
and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may
be
proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by the certificate
of
any notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments
or
deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing
acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Whenever such execution is by an
officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership on behalf of such
corporation or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute
sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any
such instrument or writing, or the authority of the individual executing the
same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems
sufficient.
(c) The
ownership of Certificates (whether or not such Certificates shall be overdue
and
notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by
anyone other than the Trustee) shall be proved by the Certificate Register,
and
neither the Trustee nor the Depositor shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
90
(d) Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action by the Holder of any Certificate shall bind every future Holder of the
same Certificate and the Holder of every Certificate issued upon the
registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof,
in
respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee in
reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such
Certificate.
ARTICLE
IX
REMIC
ADMINISTRATION
|
Section
9.01
|
REMIC
Administration.
|
(a) REMIC
elections as set forth in the Preliminary Statement shall be made on Forms
1066
or other appropriate federal tax or information return for the taxable year
ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are
issued. The regular interests and residual interest in each REMIC shall be
as
designated in the Preliminary Statement.
(b) The
Closing Date is hereby designated as the “Startup
Day”
of
each
REMIC within the meaning of section 860G(a)(9) of the Code. The latest
possible maturity date for purposes of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-1(a)(4)
will be the Latest Possible Maturity Date.
(c) The
Trustee shall represent the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial
proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing
authority with respect thereto. The Trustee shall pay any and all tax related
expenses (not including taxes) of each REMIC, including but not limited to
any
professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or
judicial proceedings with respect to such REMIC that involve the Internal
Revenue Service or state tax authorities, but only to the extent that
(i) such expenses are ordinary or routine expenses, including expenses of a
routine audit but not expenses of litigation (except as described in (ii));
or
(ii) such expenses or liabilities (including taxes and penalties) are
attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee in
fulfilling its duties hereunder (including its duties as tax return preparer).
The Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement of expenses to the extent
provided in clause (i) above from the Distribution Account, provided,
however,
the
Trustee shall not be entitled to reimbursement for expenses incurred in
connection with the preparation of tax returns and other reports as required
by
this Section 9.01.
(d) The
Trustee shall prepare, sign and file all of each REMIC’s federal and appropriate
state tax and information returns as such REMIC’s direct representative. The
expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Trustee.
In
preparing such returns, the Trustee shall, with respect to each REMIC other
than
the Master REMIC: (i) treat the accrual period for interests in such REMIC
as the calendar month; (ii) account for distributions made from each REMIC
other than the Master REMIC as made on the first day of each succeeding calendar
month; (iii) account for income under the all-OID method at the weighted
average of the Net Mortgage Rates; (iv) use the aggregation method provided
in Treasury Regulation section 1.1275-2(c); and (v) account for
income and expenses related to each REMIC other than the Master REMIC in the
manner resulting in the lowest amount of excess inclusion income possible
accruing to the Holder of the residual interest in each such REMIC.
91
(e) The
Trustee or its designee shall perform on behalf of each REMIC all reporting
and
other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of such REMIC under
the
Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal
Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority. Among its other duties,
if required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other such guidance, the
Trustee shall provide, upon receipt of additional reasonable compensation,
(i) to the Treasury or other governmental authority such information as is
necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual
Certificate to any disqualified person or organization pursuant to Treasury
Regulation 1.860E-2(a)(5) and any person designated in
Section 860E(e)(3) of the Code and (ii) to the Certificateholders and
the Trustee such information or reports as are required by the Code or REMIC
Provisions.
(f) To
the
extent within their control, the Trustee and the Holders of Certificates shall
take any action or cause any REMIC to take any action necessary to maintain
the
status of any REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist
each
other as necessary to create or maintain such status. Neither the Trustee nor
the Holder of any Residual Certificate shall knowingly take any action, cause
any REMIC to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken)
any
action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case
may
be, could result in an Adverse REMIC Event unless the Trustee has received
an
Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action)
to
the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such status or result
in the imposition of such a tax. In addition, prior to taking any action with
respect to any REMIC or the assets therein, or causing any REMIC to take any
action, which is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement,
any
Holder of a Residual Certificate will consult with the Trustee or its designee,
in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC
Event to occur with respect to any REMIC, and no such Person shall take any
such
action or cause any REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee has
advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur; provided,
however,
that if
no Adverse REMIC Event would occur but such action could result in the
imposition of additional taxes on the Residual Certificateholders, no such
Person shall take any such action, or cause any REMIC to take any such action
without the written consent of the Residual Certificateholders.
(g) Each
Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed
on
the related REMIC by federal or state governmental authorities. To the extent
that such taxes are not paid by a Residual Certificateholder, the Paying Agent
shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of current or future amounts otherwise
distributable to the Holder of the Residual Certificate in any such REMIC or,
if
no such amounts are available, (A) out of other amounts held in the Distribution
Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to holders of regular
interests in any such REMIC or (B) to the extent that any such taxes are imposed
on the REMIC as a result of the breach of any representation, warranty or
covenant of the Trustee, then the Trustee shall pay when due any and all such
taxes.
(h) The
Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records
with
respect to each REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.
92
(i) No
additional contributions of assets shall be made to any REMIC, except as
expressly provided in this Agreement.
(j) The
Trustee shall not enter into any arrangement by which any REMIC will receive
a
fee or other compensation for services.
(k) The
Class R Holder shall act as “tax matters person” with respect to each REMIC
created hereunder and the Trustee shall act as agent for the Class R Holder
in such roles, unless and until another party is so designated by the
Class R Holder.
(l) The
Trustee shall treat the rights of the LIBOR Certificateholders to receive Basis
Risk Carryforward Amounts as rights in an interest rate cap contract written
by
the Class OC Certificateholder in favor of such Certificateholders. Thus, each
LIBOR Certificateholder shall be treated as representing not only ownership
of
regular interests in a REMIC, but also ownership of an interest in an interest
rate cap contract. For tax purposes the interest rate cap contract will be
deemed to have a value of $10,000.

Section
9.02
|
Prohibited
Transactions and Activities.
|
Neither
the Depositor nor the Trustee shall sell, dispose of, or substitute for any
of
the Mortgage Loans, except in a disposition pursuant to (i) the foreclosure
of a Mortgage Loan, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Trust Fund, (iii) the
termination of each REMIC pursuant to Article VII of this Agreement, (iv) a
substitution pursuant to Article II of this Agreement or (v) a repurchase
of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II of this Agreement, nor acquire any
assets for any REMIC, nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Distribution
Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to any REMIC after the Closing
Date, unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party
causing such sale, disposition, substitution or acceptance) that such
disposition, acquisition, substitution, or acceptance will not result in an
Adverse REMIC Event, (b) affect the distribution of interest or principal
on the Certificates or (c) result in the encumbrance of the assets
transferred or assigned to the Trust Fund (except pursuant to the provisions
of
this Agreement).
The
Trustee with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall not permit the Servicer to
consent to any modification of any such Mortgage Loan for which the consent
of
the Trustee is required under the Servicing Agreement under which such Mortgage
Loan is serviced, that would (i) increase the interest rate in respect of such
Mortgage, defer for a period in excess of six months or forgive the payment
of
any principal or interest, reduce the outstanding principal amount (except
for
actual payments of principal), increase the Servicing Fee on such Mortgage
Loan
or extend the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan, or (ii) result in
a
substitution or release of collateral or in the provision of additional
collateral for the Mortgage Loan, unless the applicable Mortgage Loan is in
default or default is reasonably foreseeable in respect of such Mortgage Loan,
or the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party
requesting consent for such modification) that such modification will not result
in an Adverse REMIC Event.

Section
9.03
|
Indemnification
with Respect to Prohibited Transactions or Loss of REMIC Status.
|
Upon
the
occurrence of an Adverse REMIC Event due to the negligent performance by the
Trustee of its duties and obligations set forth herein, the Trustee shall
indemnify the Certificateholders of the related Residual Certificate against
any
and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (“Losses”)
resulting from such negligence; provided,
however,
that
the Trustee shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action
or inaction of the Depositor or the Holder of the Residual Certificate, nor
for
any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by any of the foregoing
parties on which the Trustee has relied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however,
in no event shall the Trustee have any liability (1) for any action or
omission that is taken in accordance with and in compliance with the express
terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this Agreement or
under any Purchase Agreement or Servicing Agreements or under any
Acknowledgement, (2) for any Losses other than arising out of malfeasance,
willful misconduct or negligent performance by the Trustee of its duties and
obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential
damages to Certificateholders of the related Residual Certificate (in addition
to payment of principal and interest on the Certificates).

Section
9.04
|
REO
Property.
|
(a) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not, except to the
extent provided in the Servicing Agreement, knowingly permit (if the permission
of the Trustee is required by the Servicing Agreement) the Servicer to, rent,
lease, or otherwise earn income on behalf of any REMIC with respect to any
REO
Property which might cause an Adverse REMIC Event unless the Servicer has
provided to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel concluding that, under the REMIC
Provisions, such action would not adversely affect the status of any REMIC
as a
REMIC and any income generated for any REMIC by the REO Property would not
result in an Adverse REMIC Event.
(b) The
Depositor shall cause the Servicer (to the extent provided in its Servicing
Agreement) to make reasonable efforts to sell any REO Property for its fair
market value. In any event, however, the Depositor shall, or shall cause the
Servicer (to the extent provided in its Servicing Agreement) to, dispose of
any
REO Property within three years of its acquisition by the Trust Fund unless
the
Depositor or the Servicer (on behalf of the Trust Fund) has received a grant
of
extension from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that, under the REMIC
Provisions and any relevant proposed legislation and under applicable state
law,
the REMIC may hold REO Property for a longer period without causing an Adverse
REMIC Event. If such an extension has been received, then the Depositor, acting
on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall, or shall cause the Servicer to,
continue to attempt to sell the REO Property for its fair market value for
such
period longer than three years as such extension permits (the “Extended
Period”).
If
such an extension has not been received and the Depositor or the Servicer,
acting on behalf of the Trust Fund hereunder, is unable to sell the REO Property
within 33 months after its acquisition by the Trust Fund or if such an
extension, has been received and the Depositor or the Servicer is unable to
sell
the REO Property within the period ending three months before the close of
the
Extended Period, the Depositor shall cause the Servicer, before the end of
the
three year period or the Extended Period, as applicable, to (i) purchase
such REO Property at a price equal to the REO Property’s fair market value or
(ii) auction the REO Property to the highest bidder (which may be the
Servicer) in an auction reasonably designed to produce a fair price prior to
the
expiration of the three-year period or the Extended Period, as the case may
be.

effected pursuant to the preceding sentence shall, as evidenced by an Opinion
of
Counsel, result in an Adverse REMIC Event, nor shall such amendment effected
pursuant to clause (iii) of such sentence adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of any Holder. Prior to entering into any amendment
without the consent of Holders pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee shall
be
provided with an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting
such
amendment) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under this Section
10.03. Any such amendment shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any
material respect any Holder, if the Trustee receives written confirmation from
each Rating Agency that such amendment will not cause such Rating Agency to
reduce the then current rating assigned to the Certificates.
(b) This
Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor and the
Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the Class
Principal Balance or Percentage Interest of each Class of Certificates affected
thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner
or
eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any
manner the rights of the Holders; provided,
however,
that no
such amendment shall be made unless the Trustee receives an Opinion of Counsel,
at the expense of the party requesting the change, that such change will not
cause an Adverse REMIC Event; and provided further, that no such amendment
may
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments
received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any
Certificate, without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate or (ii)
reduce the aforesaid percentages of Class Principal Balance or Percentage
Interest of Certificates of each Class, the Holders of which are required to
consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of 100% of
the
Class Principal Balance or Percentage Interest of each Class of Certificates
affected thereby. For purposes of this paragraph, references to “Holder” or
“Holders” shall be deemed to include, in the case of any Class of Book-Entry
Certificates, the related Certificate Owners.
95
(c) Promptly
after the execution of any such amendment, the Trustee shall furnish written
notification of the substance of such amendment to each Holder, the Depositor
and the Rating Agencies.
(d) It
shall
not be necessary for the consent of Holders under this Section 10.03 to
approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be
sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner
of
obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution
thereof by Holders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the
Trustee may prescribe.

Dear
Sirs:
In

(the “Privately

of
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Capital I Inc. (the “Depositor”),
we
confirm that:

(1)

We
understand that the Privately Offered Certificates have not been,
and will
not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities
Act”),
and may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence.
We
agree, on our own behalf and on behalf of any accounts for which
we are
acting as hereinafter stated, that if we should sell any Privately
Offered
Certificates within two years of the later of the date of original
issuance of the Privately Offered Certificates or the last day on
which
such Privately Offered Certificates are owned by the Depositor or
any
affiliate of the Depositor we will do so only (A) to the Depositor,
(B) to “qualified institutional buyers” (within the meaning of
Rule 144A under the Securities Act) in accordance with Rule 144A
under the Securities Act (“QIBs”),
(C) pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by
Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or (D) to an institutional
“accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3)
or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act that is not a QIB (an
“Institutional

which, prior to such transfer, delivers to the Certificate Registrar
under
the Trust Agreement dated as of February 1, 2007 (the “Trust

from us
a notice advising such purchaser that resales of the Privately Offered

We
understand that, in connection with any proposed resale of any Privately
Offered Certificates to an Institutional Accredited Investor, we
will be
required to furnish to the Certificate Registrar a certification
from such
transferee in the form hereof to confirm that the proposed sale is
being
made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject
to,
the registration requirements of the Securities Act. We further understand
that the Privately Offered Certificates purchased by us will bear
a legend
to the foregoing effect.

We
are acquiring the Privately Offered Certificates for investment purposes
and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with,
any
distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We have such knowledge
and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable
of
evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Privately
Offered
Certificates, and we and any account for which we are acting are
each able
to bear the economic risk of such
investment.
|
|

|
We
are an Institutional Accredited Investor and we are acquiring the
Privately Offered Certificates purchased by us for our own account
or for
one or more accounts (each of which is an Institutional Accredited
Investor) as to each of which we exercise sole investment
discretion.

We
have received such information as we deem necessary in order to make
our
investment decision.

If
