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, an election shall be made
that the Trust Fund (exclusive of (i) the Swap Agreement, (ii) the Swap Account,
(iii) the Net WAC Cap Account, (iv) the Cap Agreement, (v) the Cap Account,
(vi)
the Final Maturity Reserve Fund, (vii) the Pre-Funding Account and (viii) the
External Trust (collectively, the “Excluded Trust Assets”)) be treated for
federal income tax purposes as comprising four real estate mortgage investment
conduits under Section 860D of the Code (each a “REMIC” or, in the alternative
“REMIC 1,” “REMIC 2,” “REMIC 3,” and REMIC 4). Any inconsistencies or
ambiguities in this Agreement or in the administration of this Agreement shall
be resolved in a manner that preserves the validity of such REMIC
elections.
Each
Offered Certificate represents ownership of a regular interest in REMIC 4 for
purposes of the REMIC Provisions. In addition, each Offered Certificate
represents (i) the right to receive payments with respect to any Net WAC Cap
Carryover and (ii) the obligation to pay Class I Shortfalls.
The
Class
R Certificate represents ownership of the sole Class of residual interest in
each of REMIC 1, REMIC 2, REMIC 3, and REMIC 4.
The
Class
X Certificate represents ownership of five regular interests in REMIC 4 as
described in footnote (14) to the table for REMIC 4 as well as ownership of
the
Excluded Trust Assets and the obligation to make Net Swap Payments to the Swap
Counterparty and the obligation to make payments in respect of Net WAC Cap
Carryover with respect to the Offered Certificates.
REMIC
4
shall hold as assets the uncertificated lower tier interests in REMIC 3, other
than the Class R-3 interest, and each such lower tier interest is hereby
designated as a regular interest in REMIC 3. REMIC 3 shall hold as its assets
the uncertificated lower tier interests in REMIC 2, other than the Class R-2
interest, and each such lower tier interest is hereby designated as a regular
interest in REMIC 2. REMIC 2 shall hold as its assets the uncertificated lower
tier interests in REMIC 1, other than the Class R-1 interest, and each such
lower tier interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC 1.
REMIC
1 shall hold as its assets the property of the Trust Fund other than the lower
tier interests in REMIC 1, REMIC 2, and REMIC 3 and the Excluded Trust
Assets.
The
startup day for each REMIC created hereby for purposes of the REMIC Provisions
is the Closing Date. In addition, for purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the
latest possible maturity date for each regular interest in each REMIC created
hereby is the Latest Possible Maturity Date.
REMIC
1
The
following table sets forth the designations, initial principal balances, and
interest rates for each interest in REMIC 1, each of which (other than the
Class

For
any of the first three Distribution Dates only (and the related Interest Accrual
Periods) and the Class LT-Initial Interests, a per annum rate equal to the
weighted average of the Adjusted Net Mortgage Rates of the Initial Loans as
of
the first day of the related Due Period, and for every Distribution Date (and
related Interest Accrual Period) thereafter, the Net WAC Rate (without
adjustment for the Final Maturity Reserve Fund Addition Rate).
(2)
For
any of the first three Distribution Dates only (and the related Interest Accrual
Periods) and the Class LT-PF Interests, 0.00%, and for each Distribution Date
(and related Interest Accrual Period) thereafter, the Net WAC Rate (without
adjustment for the Final Maturity Reserve Fund Addition Rate).
(3)
The
Class LT-X Interest is an interest only interest that does not have a principal
balance but that is, for each of the first three Distribution Dates only,
entitled to 100% of the interest paid on each Subsequent Loan for the related
Due Period, and thereafter shall not be entitled to any
distributions.
(4)
The
Class R-1 interest shall not have a principal amount and shall not bear
interest. The Class R-1 interest is hereby designated as the sole class of
residual interest in REMIC 1.
On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the aggregate Interest
Remittance Amount first to pay fees and expenses of the trust, other than any
Net Swap Payment owed to the Swap Counterparty, and then with respect to each
of
the REMIC 1 Regular Interests based on the above-described interest
rates.
On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the Principal Remittance Amount
first to the LT-Initial Interest until its principal balance equals the
aggregate of the Stated Principal Balances of the Initial Loans as of the close
of the related Due Period, and then any remaining amount to the LT-PF Interest.
All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated among the REMIC
1
Regular Interests in the same manner in which principal is distributed.

distributable as principal on the REMIC 1 Regular Interests sequentially to
the
REMIC 2 Regular Interests, first to the Class LT- A Interest until its principal
balance is reduced to zero, and then in ascending order of their numerical
designation, and, with respect to each pair of REMIC 2 Regular Interests having
the same numerical designation, in equal amounts to each such interest, until
the principal balance of each such interest is reduced to zero. All losses
on

For
any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) the
interest rate for each of these REMIC 3 Regular Interests is a per
annum
rate equal to the weighted average of the interest rates on the REMIC
2
Regular Interests (other than the Class LT2-X Interest), weighted
on the
basis of their principal balances as of the first day of the related
Interest Accrual Period, provided,
however, that:
(i) for any Distribution Date on which the Class LT-Swap-IO Interest
is
entitled to a portion of the interest accruals on a REMIC 2 Regular
Interest having an “F” in its class designation, as described in footnote
three below, such weighted average shall be computed by first subjecting
the rate on such REMIC 2 Regular Interest to a cap equal to the product
of
(a) Swap LIBOR (determined pursuant to the Swap Agreement) multiplied
by
(b) 2 multiplied by (c) the quotient of the actual number of days
in the
Interest Accrual Period divided by 30; and (ii) for each Distribution
Date
on and after the Distribution Date in December 2016, the interest
rate on
each REMIC 2 Regular Interest shall be first reduced by the Final
Maturity
Reserve Fund Addition Rate.
|
(2)
|
The
Class LT-Reserve-IO is and interest-only class that does not have
a
principal balance. The Class LT-Reserve-IO has a notional balance
that
will at all times equal the sum of the principal balances of the
REMIC 1
Regular Interests and it shall accrue interest at a fixed rate of
0.00%
for each Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period)
on or
before the Distribution Date in December 2016, and for each Distribution
Date on and after the Distribution Date in December 2016, shall accrue
interest at a fixed rate equal to the Final Maturity Reserve Fund
Addition
Rate.
|

(3)
|
The
Class LT-Swap-IO is an interest-only class that does not have a principal
balance. For only those Distribution Dates listed in the first column
in
the table below, the Class LT-Swap-IO shall be entitled to interest
accrued on the REMIC 2 Regular Interests listed in second column
in the
table below at a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (i)
the
interest rate for such REMIC 2 Regular Interest for such Distribution
Date
over (ii) the product of (a) Swap LIBOR (determined pursuant to the
Swap
Agreement) multiplied by (b) 2 multiplied by (c) the quotient of
the
actual number of days in the Interest Accrual Period divided by
30.

The
Class LT3-X Interest is an interest only interest that does not have
a
principal balance. For any Distribution Date, the Class LT3-X Interest
shall be entitled to all amounts distributed with respect to the
Class
LT-2X Interest in REMIC 2.

(5)
|
The
Class R-3 interest is the sole class of residual interests in REMIC
3. It
does not have an interest rate or a principal
balance.

On
each
Distribution Date, interest shall be distributed on the REMIC 3 Regular
Interests based on the above-described interest rates,
provided,
however,
that
interest that accrues on the Class LT-Accrual Interest shall be deferred in
the
amount required to make distributions under priority (a) below. Any interest
so
deferred shall itself bear interest at the interest rate for the Class
LT-Accrual Interest. An amount equal to the interest so deferred shall be
distributed as additional principal on the other REMIC 3 Regular Interests
having a principal balance in the manner described under priority (a)
below.
On
each
Distribution Date principal shall be distributed, and Realized Losses shall
be
allocated, among the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 3 in the following order
of
priority:
(a)
|
First,
to the Class LT-A1, Class LT-A2, Class LT-A3, Class LT-M1, Class
LT-M2, Class LT-M3, Class LT-M4, Class LT-M5, Class LT-M6, Class
LT-B1,
Class LT-B2, and Class LT-B3 Interests until the principal balance
of each
such REMIC 3 Regular Interest equals one-half of the Class Certificate
Balance of the Corresponding Class of Certificates immediately after
such
Distribution Date; and

Pass-Through Rate for any Class of Certificates is based on the Net WAC
Cap, the amount of interest that would have been distributable on
such
Class if the REMIC 3 Net WAC Cap had been substituted for the Net
WAC Cap
shall be treated as having actually been paid to the Holders of such
Class
and then deposited by such Holders into the Swap Account. If for
any

For
purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the Class X Certificates shall
have an
initial principal balance of $3,990,000.00 (initial overcollateralization
amount), and the right to receive distributions of such amount in
the form
of Overcollateralization Release Amounts represents a regular interest
in
the REMIC 4. The Class X Certificate shall also comprise 4 notional
components, each of which represents a regular interest in REMIC
4. The
first such component has a notional balance that will at all times
equal
the aggregate of the principal balances of the REMIC 3 Regular Interests,
and, for each Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period)
this
notional component shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal
to the
excess, if any, of (i) (a) the weighted average of the interest rates
on
the REMIC 3 Regular Interests (other than the Class LT-Reserve-IO
interest, the LT3-X Interests, and the LT-Swap-IO interest), over
(ii) the
product of (a) the weighted average of the interest rates on the
REMIC 3
Regular Interests (other than the Class LT-Reserve-IO Interest, Class
LT3-X Interest and Class LT-Swap-IO Interest ), computed for this
purpose
by subjecting the rate on the Class LT-Accrual interest to a cap
of 0.00%,
and by subjecting the rate on each of the other REMIC 3 Regular Interests
to a cap equal to the pass through rate on its Corresponding Class
of
Certificates (assuming that REMIC 3 Net WAC Cap was substituted for
Net
WAC Cap in the definition of Pass-Through Rate for such Class) multiplied
by (b) two (2) multiplied by (c) the quotient of the actual number
of days
in the Interest Accrual Period divided by thirty (30). The second
notional
component represents the right to receive all distributions in respect
of
the Class LT-Reserve-IO interest in REMIC 3. The third notional component
represent the right to receive all distributions in respect of the
Class
LT-Swap IO in REMIC 3. The fourth notional component represents the
right
to receive all distributions on the Class LT3-X Interest. For purposes
of
the REMIC Provisions, the Class X Certificate shall represent beneficial
ownership of the Excluded Trust
Assets.
|
In
calculating interest accrued for any Interest Accrual Period on any Class of
Certificates, other than the Class X Certificates, an actual/360 day-count
convention shall be used. In calculating interest accrued on the Class X
Certificates and any REMIC 1 Regular Interests, REMIC 2 Regular Interests,
or
REMIC 3 Regular Interests, a 30/360 day-count convention shall be
used.

Value

is the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property based upon the appraisal
obtained at the time of refinancing and (b) that are Borrower Retention Loans,

appraisal is more than twenty-four months old, the value of the mortgaged
property based on the existing appraisal is validated through the use of an
AVM

the
mortgage property has materially declined, a new appraisal is required at the
time of refinancing, and the value of the mortgaged property is determined
using
this new appraisal, and (ii) if the Refinance Loan is a cash-out refinance
mortgage loan, the value of the mortgaged property is determined using an
existing appraisal that is no more than twenty-four months old, and the existing
appraisal value is validated through the use of an AVM at the time of the
refinancing; if the AVM evidences that the value of the mortgaged property

value of the mortgaged property is determined using this new
appraisal.
