THIS
POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of April 1, 2006, among XXXXXX
XXXXXXX ABS CAPITAL I INC., a Delaware corporation, as depositor (the
“Depositor”),
XXXXX
FARGO BANK, N.A., a national banking association (“Xxxxx
Fargo”),
HOMEQ
SERVICING CORPORATION, a New Jersey corporation (“HomEq”
and
together with Xxxxx Fargo, the “Servicers”),

W

N E S S E T H:
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.
REMIC
I
As
provided herein, the Trustee will make an election to treat the segregated
pool
of assets consisting of the Trust Fund (exclusive of the Excess Reserve Fund
Account and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Supplemental Interest Trust and
the
Swap Agreement) as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated
pool of assets will be designated as “REMIC I”. The Class R-I Interest will
represent the sole class of “residual interests” in REMIC I for purposes of the
REMIC Provisions.
The
following table irrevocably sets forth the designation, the Uncertificated
REMIC
I Pass-Through Rate, the initial Uncertificated Principal Balance, and for
purposes of satisfying Treasury regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the
“latest possible maturity date” for each of the REMIC I Regular Interests. None
of the REMIC I Regular Interests will be certificated.

With
respect to the Class IO Interest and any Distribution Date, an amount equal
to
the Uncertificated Notional Amount of the REMIC II Regular Interest
IO.
“Uncertificated
Principal Balance”: With respect to each REMIC Regular Interest (other than
REMIC II Regular Interest LT-IO), the principal amount of such REMIC Regular
Interest outstanding as of any date of determination. As of the Closing Date,
the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each such REMIC Regular Interest shall
equal the amount set forth in the Preliminary Statement hereto as its initial
Uncertificated Principal Balance. On each Distribution Date, the Uncertificated
Principal Balance of each REMIC Regular Interest shall be reduced by all
distributions of principal made on such REMIC Regular Interest on such
Distribution Date pursuant to Section 8.14 and, if and to the extent necessary
and appropriate, shall be further reduced on such Distribution Date by Realized
Losses as provided in Section 8.14. The Uncertificated Principal Balance of
each
REMIC Regular Interest shall never be less than zero.
“Uncertificated
Pass-Through Rate”: The Uncertificated REMIC I Pass-Through Rate or
Uncertificated REMIC II Pass-Through Rate.
“Uncertificated
REMIC I Pass-Through Rate”: With respect to REMIC I Regular Interest I, a per
annum rate equal to the weighted average Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate of the
Group
I Mortgage Loans. With respect to each REMIC I Group I Regular Interest ending
with the designation “A”, a per annum rate equal to the weighted average
Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate of the Group I Mortgage Loans multiplied by 2,
subject to a maximum rate of 10.30%. With respect to each REMIC I Regular
Interest ending with the designation “B”, the greater of (x) a per annum rate
equal to the excess, if any, of (i) 2 multiplied by the weighted average
Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate of the Group I Mortgage Loans over (ii) 10.30% and
(y) 0.00%. With respect to REMIC I Regular Interest II, a per annum rate equal
to the weighted average Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate of the Group II Mortgage
Loans. With respect to each REMIC I Group II Regular Interest ending with the
designation “A”, a per annum rate equal to the weighted average Adjusted Net
Mortgage Rate of the Group II Mortgage Loans multiplied by 2, subject to a
maximum rate of 10.30%. With respect to each REMIC I Group II Regular Interest
ending with the designation “B”, the greater of (x) a per annum rate equal to
the excess, if any, of (i) 2 multiplied by the weighted average Adjusted Net
Mortgage Rate of the Group II Mortgage Loans over (ii) 10.30% and (y)
0.00%.
“Uncertificated
REMIC II Pass-Through Rate”: With respect to REMIC II Regular Interest LT-AA,
REMIC II Regular Interest LT-A1, REMIC II Regular Interest LT-A2a, REMIC II
Regular Interest LT-A2b, REMIC II Regular Interest LT-A2c, REMIC II Regular
Interest LT-A2d, REMIC II Regular Interest LT-M1, REMIC II Regular Interest

Section
2.01 Conveyance
of Mortgage Loans.
(a) The
Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, hereby sells,
transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, without recourse, all the right, title and
interest of the Depositor in and to the Trust Fund, and the Trustee, on behalf
of the Trust, hereby accepts the Trust Fund.
(b) In
connection with the transfer and assignment of each Mortgage Loan, the Depositor
has delivered or caused to be delivered to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders the following documents or instruments with respect to each

chain of endorsement from the originator to the last endorsee, endorsed “Pay to
the order of _____________, without recourse” and signed (which may be by

allow;
(ii) the
original of any guaranty executed in connection with the Mortgage

of
such Mortgage submitted for recording. If, in connection with any Mortgage
Loan,
the original Mortgage cannot be delivered with evidence of recording thereon
on
or prior to the Closing Date because of a delay caused by the public recording
office where such Mortgage has been delivered for recordation or because such
Mortgage has been lost or because such public recording office retains the
original recorded Mortgage, the Responsible Party, shall deliver or cause to
be
delivered to the Trustee a photocopy of such Mortgage, together with (A) in
the case of a delay caused by the public recording office, an officer’s
certificate of the Responsible Party or evidence of certification on the face
of
such photocopy of such Mortgage or a certificate from an escrow company, a
title
company or closing attorney stating that such Mortgage has been dispatched
to
the appropriate public recording office for recordation and that the original
recorded Mortgage or a copy of such Mortgage certified by such public recording
office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded Mortgage will
be
promptly delivered to the Trustee upon receipt thereof by the Responsible Party;
or (B) in the case of a Mortgage where a public recording office retains
the original recorded Mortgage or in the case where a Mortgage is lost after
recordation in a public recording office, a copy of such Mortgage certified
by
such public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original
recorded Mortgage;
(iv) the
originals of all assumption, modification, consolidation or extension
agreements, with evidence of recording thereon or a certified true copy of
such
agreement submitted for recording;
(v) the
original Assignment of Mortgage for each Mortgage Loan endorsed in
blank;
(vi) the
originals of all intervening assignments of Mortgage (if any) evidencing a
complete chain of assignment from the applicable originator to the last endorsee
with evidence of recording thereon or a certified true copy of such intervening
assignments of Mortgage submitted for recording, or if any such intervening
assignment has not been returned from the applicable recording office or has
been lost or if such public recording office retains the original recorded
assignments of Mortgage, the Responsible Party, shall deliver or cause to be
delivered a photocopy of such intervening assignment, together with (A) in
the case of a delay caused by the public recording office, an officer’s
certificate of the Responsible Party or evidence of certification on the face
of
such photocopy of such intervening assignment or a certificate from an escrow
company, a title company or a closing attorney stating that such intervening
assignment of Mortgage has been dispatched to the appropriate public recording
office for recordation and that such original recorded intervening assignment
of
Mortgage or a copy of such intervening assignment of Mortgage certified by
the
appropriate public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the
original recorded intervening assignment of Mortgage will be promptly delivered
to the Trustee upon receipt thereof by the Responsible Party; or (B) in the
case of an intervening assignment where a public recording office retains the
original recorded intervening assignment or in the case where an intervening
assignment is lost after recordation in a public recording office, a copy of
such intervening assignment certified by such public recording office to be
a
true and complete copy of the original recorded intervening
assignment;
(vii) the
original mortgagee title insurance policy or, in the event such original title
policy is unavailable, a copy of the related policy binder or commitment for
title issued by the title insurance company; and
(viii) the
original of any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document
executed in connection with the Mortgage (if provided).
The
Responsible Party shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee the applicable
recorded document promptly upon receipt from the respective recording office
but
in no event later than 120 days from the Closing Date.
From
time
to time, the Depositor or the applicable Servicer, as applicable, shall forward
to the Trustee, additional original documents, additional documents evidencing
an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of a Mortgage Loan,
in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement upon receipt of such documents.
All
such mortgage documents held by the Trustee as to each Mortgage Loan shall
constitute the “Custodial
File”.
On
or
prior to the Closing Date, the Responsible Party shall deliver to the Trustee,
Assignments of Mortgage, in blank, for each Mortgage Loan. The Responsible
Party
shall cause the Assignments of Mortgage and complete recording information
to be
provided to the applicable Servicer in a reasonably acceptable manner. No later
than thirty (30) Business Days following the later of the Closing Date and
the
date of receipt by the applicable Servicer of the complete recording information
for a Mortgage, the applicable Servicer shall promptly submit or cause to be
submitted for recording, at the expense of the Responsible Party and at no
expense to the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the applicable Servicer, or the
Depositor, in the appropriate public office for real property records, each
Assignment of Mortgage referred to in Section 2.01(b)(v). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, however, for administrative convenience and facilitation of
servicing and to reduce closing costs, the Assignments of Mortgage shall not
be
required to be completed and submitted for recording with respect to any
Mortgage Loan (i) if the Trustee and each Rating Agency have received an
Opinion of Counsel, satisfactory in form and substance to the Trustee and each
Rating Agency to the effect that the recordation of such Assignments of Mortgage
in any specific jurisdiction is not necessary to protect the Trustee’s interest
in the related Mortgage Note or (ii) the Rating Agencies have each notified
the Depositor in writing that not recording any such Assignments of Mortgage
would not cause the initial ratings on any Offered Certificates to be downgraded
or withdrawn; provided,
however,
that no
Servicer shall be held responsible or liable for any loss that occurs because
an
Assignment of Mortgage was not recorded, but only to the extent the applicable
Servicer does not have prior knowledge of the act or omission that causes such
loss. Unless the Depositor gives the applicable Servicer notice to the contrary,
the Depositor is deemed to have gven notice that the condition set forth in
clause (ii) above is applicable. However, with respect to the Assignments of
Mortgage referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, if foreclosure
proceedings occur against a Mortgaged Property, the Depositor shall notify
the
applicable Servicer and such Servicer shall record such Assignment of Mortgage
at the expense of the Responsible Party (at no expense to the applicable
Servicer) as required pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. If the Assignment
of
Mortgage is to be recorded, the Mortgage shall be assigned to “Deutsche Bank
National Trust Company, as trustee under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
dated as of April 1, 2006, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx ABS Capital I Inc. Trust
2006-NC3”. In the event that any such Assignment of Mortgage is lost or returned
unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Responsible Party shall promptly
cause to be delivered a substitute Assignment of Mortgage to cure such defect
and thereafter cause each such assignment to be duly recorded.
In
the
event that such original or copy of any document submitted for recordation
to
the appropriate public recording office is not so delivered to the Trustee
within 90 days following the Closing Date, and in the event that the Responsible
Party does not cure such failure within 30 days of discovery or receipt of
written notification of such failure from the Depositor, the related Mortgage
Loan shall, upon the request of the Depositor, be repurchased by the Responsible
Party at the price and in the manner specified in Section 2.03. The
foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event that the
Responsible Party cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted
for recordation to the appropriate public recording office within the specified
period due to a delay caused by the recording office in the applicable
jurisdiction; provided,
that
the Responsible Party shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such
recording office or, if such recording receipt is not available, an officer’s
certificate of an officer of the Responsible Party, confirming that such
document has been accepted for recording.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.01, in those instances
where the public recording office retains or loses the original Mortgage or
assignment after it has been recorded, the obligations of the Responsible Party
shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon delivery by the Responsible Party
to
the Trustee, prior to the Closing Date of a copy of such Mortgage or assignment,
as the case may be, certified (such certification to be an original thereof)
by
the public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the recorded
original thereof.
(c) The
Depositor does hereby establish, pursuant to the further provisions of this
Agreement and the laws of the State of New York, an express trust (the
“Trust”)
to be
known, for convenience, as “XXXXXX XXXXXXX ABS CAPITAL I INC. TRUST 2006-NC3”
and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company is hereby appointed as Trustee in

calendar year.
(d) The
Trust
shall have the capacity, power and authority, and the Trustee on behalf of
the
Trust is hereby authorized, to accept the sale, transfer, assignment, set over
and conveyance by the Depositor to the Trust of all the right, title and
interest of the Depositor in and to the Trust Fund (including, without
limitation, the Mortgage Loans) pursuant to Section 2.01(a). The
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee on behalf of the Supplemental Interest
Trust
is hereby directed to enter into the Interest Rate Swap Agreement.

Party’s expense to such Servicer.

in
Schedule III
and
Schedule IV
hereto,

(c) The
Depositor hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth in
Schedule
V
hereto
to the Trustee as of the dates set forth in such Schedule.
(d) It
is
understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the representations and
warranties set forth in this Section 2.03 shall survive the transfer of the
Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee, and shall inure to the benefit
of the parties to whom the representations and warranties were made
notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note
or
Assignment of Mortgage or the examination or failure to examine any Mortgage
File. Upon discovery by any of the Responsible Party, the Depositor, the Trustee
or a Servicer of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and
warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice
to the others.
(e) Within
30 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Responsible
Party that any Mortgage Loan does not conform to the requirements as determined
in the Trustee’s review of the related Custodial File or within 60 days of the
earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Responsible Party of any breach
of a representation or warranty, set forth in Section 2.03(b), that
materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest
of the Trustee or the Certificateholders therein, the Responsible Party shall
use its best efforts to cause to be remedied a material defect in a document
constituting part of a Mortgage File or promptly to cure such breach in all
material respects and, if such defect or breach cannot be remedied, the
Responsible Party shall, at the Depositor’s option as specified in writing and
provided to the Responsible Party and the Trustee, (i) if such 30 or 60 day
period, as applicable, expires prior to the second anniversary of the Closing
Date, remove such Mortgage Loan (a “Deleted
Mortgage Loan”)
from
the Trust Fund and substitute in its place a Substitute Mortgage Loan, in the
manner and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 2.03; or
(ii) repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price; provided,
however,
that
any such substitution pursuant to clause (i) above shall not be
effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release
substantially in the form of Exhibit J, and the delivery of the Mortgage
File to the Trustee for any such Substitute Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding
the
foregoing, a breach (i) which causes a Mortgage Loan not to constitute a

in each
case, will be deemed automatically to materially and adversely affect the value
of such Mortgage Loan and the interests of the Trustee and Certificateholders
in
such Mortgage Loan. In the event that the Trustee receives notice of a breach
by
the Responsible Party of any of the representations and warranties set forth
in
clause (46), (47), (49), (53), (55), (56), (57), (58), (59), (60), (61),
(62) or (63) of Schedule III,
the
Trustee shall give notice of such breach to the Responsible Party and request
the Responsible Party to repurchase the Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price
within sixty (60) days of the Responsible Party receipt of such notice. The
Responsible Party shall repurchase each such Mortgage Loan within 60 days of
the
earlier of discovery or receipt of notice with respect to each such Mortgage
Loan, and in any case such repurchase shall occur or shall be deemed to occur
on
the last day of the applicable Prepayment Period preceding the Distribution
Date
on which the Repurchase Price is to be distributed.
(f) Within
90
days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Depositor of any
breach of the representation or warranty set forth on Schedule V hereto, the
Depositor shall use its best efforts to promptly cure such breach and, if such
defect or breach cannot be remedied, the Depositor shall purchase such Mortgage
Loan at the Repurchase Price or substitute a Substitute Mortgage Loan for such
Mortgage Loan.
(g) With
respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans substituted by the Depositor
or
the Responsible Party, the Depositor or the Responsible Party, as applicable,
shall deliver to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders the
Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related Assignment of Mortgage, and such other
documents and agreements as are required by Section 2.01, with the Mortgage
Note
endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as required by Section 2.01. No substitution
under this Agreement is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the
Determination Date for such month. Scheduled Payments due with respect to
Substitute Mortgage Loans in the Due Period of substitution shall not be part
of
the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Depositor or the Responsible Party,
as applicable, on the next succeeding Distribution Date. For the Due Period
of
substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the Scheduled
Payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan for such Due Period and thereafter
the
Depositor or the Responsible Party, as applicable, shall be entitled to retain
all amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan.
(h) The
applicable Servicer, based upon information provided by the Depositor or the
Responsible Party, as applicable, shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for
the
benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of such Deleted
Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans
and
such Servicer shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee.
Upon such substitution, the Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject
to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Responsible Party shall
be deemed to have made with respect to such Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans,
as of the date of substitution, the representations and warranties made pursuant
to Section 2.03(b) with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Upon any such
substitution and certification by the applicable Servicer to the Trustee that
the deposit into the related Collection Account of the amount required to be
deposited therein in connection with such substitution as described in the
following paragraph, the Trustee shall release the Mortgage File held for the
benefit of the Certificateholders relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to
the
Depositor or the Responsible Party, as applicable, and shall execute and deliver
at the direction of the Depositor or the Responsible Party, as applicable,
such
instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Depositor or the
Responsible Party, as applicable, in each case without recourse, representation
or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest title in the Depositor or the
Responsible Party, as applicable, of the Trustee’s interest in any Deleted
Mortgage Loan substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.03.
(i) For
any
month in which the Depositor or the Responsible Party substitutes one or more
Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the applicable
Servicer will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate unpaid
principal balance of all such Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of
substitution is less than the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all such
Deleted Mortgage Loans. The amount of such shortage plus an amount equal to
the
sum of (i) any accrued and unpaid interest on the Deleted Mortgage Loans
and (ii) all unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to such Deleted
Mortgage Loans (collectively, the “Substitution
Adjustment Amount”)
shall
be remitted by the Responsible Party to the applicable Servicer for deposit
into
the related Collection Account on or before the Distribution Account Deposit

hereunder.
(j) In
addition to such repurchase or substitution obligation, the Responsible Party
shall indemnify the Depositor and its Affiliates, the Servicers, the Sponsor,
the Trustee and the Trust and hold such parties harmless against any losses,
damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees
and
related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim,
demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from,
a
breach by the Responsible Party of any of its representations and warranties
or
obligations contained in this Agreement.
(k) In
the
event that the Depositor or the Responsible Party shall have repurchased a
Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement, the Repurchase Price therefor shall
be
deposited by the applicable Servicer in the applicable Collection Account of
the
related Servicer pursuant to Section 3.10 on or before the Distribution
Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date following the Prepayment Period
during which the Depositor or the Responsible Party, as applicable, repurchased
such Mortgage Loan and upon such deposit of the Repurchase Price and receipt
of
a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit J hereto, the Trustee shall
release the related Custodial File held for the benefit of the
Certificateholders to such Person as directed by the applicable Servicer, and
the Trustee shall execute and deliver at such Person’s direction such
instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by such Person, in each case
without recourse, as shall be necessary to transfer title from the
Trustee.
(l) Any
Mortgage Loan repurchased pursuant to this Section 2.03 will be removed from
the
Trust Fund. The applicable Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule
for
the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of any Mortgage
Loan repurchased, and the applicable Servicer shall deliver the amended Mortgage
Loan Schedule to the Trustee.
It
is
understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the obligation of the Depositor
or the Responsible Party under this Agreement to cure, repurchase or substitute
any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach of a representation and warranty has
occurred and is continuing, together with any related indemnification
obligations of the Responsible Party set forth in Section 2.03(h), shall
constitute the sole remedies against such Person respecting such breach
available to Certificateholders, the Depositor (if applicable), the Servicer
or
the Trustee.
The
provisions of this Section 2.03 shall survive delivery of the respective
Custodial Files to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders.
Section
2.04 Execution
and Delivery of Certificates.
The
Trustee acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the Trust Fund and,
concurrently with such transfer and assignment, has executed and delivered
to or
upon the order of the Depositor, the Certificates in authorized Denominations

Trustee agrees to hold the Trust Fund and exercise the rights referred to above
for the benefit of all present and future Holders of the
Certificates.

Distribution Date occurring in March 2036, which is the Distribution Date
in the month following the month in which the latest maturity date of any
Mortgage Loan occurs. For federal income tax purposes, any amount distributed
on
the Offered Certificates on any Distribution Date in respect of any Basis Risk
CarryForward Amounts shall be treated as having been paid from the Excess
Reserve Fund Account or the Swap Account, as applicable.

ARTICLE
III
ADMINISTRATION
AND SERVICING
OF
MORTGAGE LOANS
Section
3.01 Servicers
to Service Mortgage Loans.
(a) For
and on behalf of the Certificateholders, each Servicer shall service and
administer the Mortgage Loans for which it is acting as Servicer in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement and the respective Mortgage Loans and, to
the
extent consistent with such terms, in the same manner in which it services
and
administers similar mortgage loans for its own portfolio, giving due
consideration to customary and usual standards of practice of mortgage lenders
and loan servicers administering similar mortgage loans but without regard
to:
(i) any
relationship that such Servicer, any Subservicer or any Affiliate of such
Servicer or any Subservicer may have with the related Mortgagor;
(ii) the
ownership or non ownership of any Certificate by such Servicer or any Affiliate
of such Servicer;
(iii) such
Servicer’s obligation to make P&I Advances or Servicing Advances;
or
(iv) such
Servicer’s or any Subservicer’s right to receive compensation for its services
hereunder or with respect to any particular transaction.
To
the
extent consistent with the foregoing, each Servicer shall seek to maximize
the
timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage Notes.
Subject only to the above described servicing standards and the terms of this
Agreement and of the respective Mortgage Loans, each Servicer shall have full
power and authority, acting alone or through Subservicers as provided in
Section 3.02, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection
with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Servicer in its own
name
or in the name of a Subservicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the
Trustee when the applicable Servicer believes it appropriate in its best
judgment in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, to execute and deliver
any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full
release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to
the
Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure
proceedings or obtain a deed in lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the
ownership of such properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such
properties, on behalf of the Trustee. Each Servicer shall service and administer
the Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable state and federal law and
shall
provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be provided to them thereby.
Each Servicer covenants that its computer and other systems used in servicing
the Mortgage Loans operate in a manner such that the Servicer can service the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. Each Servicer shall also comply in the performance of this Agreement
with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any standard
hazard insurance policy. Subject to Section 3.16, the Trustee shall
execute, at the written request of a Servicer, and furnish to such Servicer
and
any Subservicer such documents provided to the Trustee as are necessary or
appropriate to enable such Servicer or any Subservicer to carry out its
servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and the Trustee hereby grants
to
each Servicer, and this Agreement shall constitute, a power of attorney to
carry
out such duties, including a power of attorney in the form of Exhibit O
hereto to take title to Mortgaged Properties after foreclosure in the name
of
and on behalf of the Trustee. The Trustee shall execute a separate power of
attorney in favor of each Servicer for the purposes described herein to the
extent necessary or desirable to enable each Servicer to perform its duties
hereunder. The Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of any Servicer
or
any Subservicers under such powers of attorney. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, no Servicer or Subservicer shall without
the
Trustee’s consent: (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under
the Trustee’s name without indicating such Servicer’s or Subservicer’s, as
applicable, representative capacity, or (ii) take any action with the
intent to, or which actually does cause, the Trustee to be registered to do
business in any state.
(b) Subject
to Section 3.09(b), in accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph,
each Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for
the
purpose of effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on the
Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be Servicing Advances reimbursable
in
the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to
Section 3.09(b), and further as provided in Section 3.11. Any cost incurred
by a
Servicer or by Subservicers in effecting the timely payment of taxes and
assessments on a Mortgaged Property shall not be added to the unpaid principal
balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such
Mortgage Loan so permit.
(c) Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, a Servicer may not make any future
advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan (except as provided in Section 4.01)
and neither Servicer shall (i) permit any modification with respect to any
Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Rate, reduce or increase the
principal balance (except for reductions resulting from actual payments of
principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan (except
for a
reduction of interest payments resulting from the application of the
Servicemembers Civil Relief Act or any similar state statutes) or
(ii) permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any
Mortgage Loan that would both (A) effect an exchange or reissuance of such
Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or final, temporary or proposed
Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (B) cause any Trust REMIC
to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on
“prohibited transactions” or “contributions after the startup date” under the
REMIC Provisions, or (iii) except as provided in Section 3.07(a), waive any
Prepayment Charges.
(d) Each
Servicer may delegate its responsibilities under this Agreement; provided,
however,
that no
such delegation shall release that Servicer from the responsibilities or
liabilities arising under this Agreement.
(e) In
the
event that the Mortgage Loan Documents relating to any Mortgage Loan contain
provisions requiring the related Mortgagor to submit to binding arbitration
with
respect to any disputes arising in connection with such Mortgage Loan, the
applicable Servicer shall be entitled to waive any such provisions on behalf
of
the Trust and to send written notice of such waiver to the related Mortgagor,
although the Mortgagor may still require arbitration of such disputes at its
option.
Section
3.02 Subservicing
Agreements between a Servicer and Subservicers.
(a)
Each
Servicer may enter into subservicing agreements with Subservicers for the
servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans (“Subservicing
Agreements”).
Each
Servicer represents and warrants to the other parties hereto that, except as
otherwise set forth herein, no Subservicing Agreement is in effect as of the
Closing Date with respect to any Mortgage Loans required to be serviced by
it
hereunder. The applicable Servicer shall give notice to the Depositor and the
Trustee of any such Subservicer and Subservicing Agreement, which notice shall
contain all information reasonably necessary to enable the Trustee, pursuant
to
Section 8.12(g), to accurately and timely report the event under
Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act (if such reports
under the Exchange Act are required to be filed under the Exchange Act). No
Subservicing Agreement shall be effective until 30 days after such written
notice is received by both the Depositor and the Trustee. The Trustee shall
not
be required to review or consent to such Subservicing Agreements and shall
have
no liability in connection therewith.
(b) Each
Subservicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or
states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated,
if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Subservicer to
perform its obligations hereunder and under the Subservicing Agreement,
(ii) an institution approved as a mortgage loan originator by the Federal
Housing Administration or an institution that has deposit accounts insured
by
the FDIC and (iii) a Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae approved mortgage servicer.
Each Subservicing Agreement must impose on the Subservicer requirements
conforming to the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 and provide for
servicing of the Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement.
Each Servicer will examine each Subservicing Agreement to which it is a party
and will be familiar with the terms thereof. The terms of any Subservicing
Agreement will not be inconsistent with any of the provisions of this Agreement.
Each Servicer and the respective Subservicers may enter into and make amendments
to the Subservicing Agreements or enter into different forms of Subservicing
Agreements; provided,
however,
that
any such amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate
the provisions of this Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form
shall be made or entered into which could be reasonably expected to be
materially adverse to the interests of the Trustee, without the consent of
the
Trustee. Any variation without the consent of the Trustee from the provisions
set forth in Section 3.08 relating to insurance or priority requirements of
Subservicing Accounts, or credits and charges to the Subservicing Accounts
or
the timing and amount of remittances by the Subservicers to such Servicer,
are
conclusively deemed to be inconsistent with this Agreement and therefore
prohibited. Each Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor copies
of all Subservicing Agreements, and any amendments or modifications thereof,
promptly upon such Servicer’s execution and delivery of such
instruments.
(c) As
part
of its servicing activities hereunder, each Servicer (except as otherwise
provided in the last sentence of this paragraph), for the benefit of the
Trustee, shall enforce the obligations of each Subservicer under the related
Subservicing Agreement to which such Servicer is a party, including, without
limitation, any obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments
as
required by a Subservicing Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without
limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Subservicing
Agreements, and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such
form
and carried out to such an extent and at such time as such Servicer, in its
good
faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage
Loans. Each Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense,
and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting
from such enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all
amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans or (ii) from a
specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the party
against whom such enforcement is directed.
(d) Each
Servicer shall cause any Subservicer engaged by such Servicer (or by any
Subservicer) for the benefit of the Depositor and the Trustee to comply with
the
provisions of this Section 3.02 and with Sections 3.22, 3.23, 6.02 and
6.05 of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subservicer were such
Servicer, and to provide the information required with respect to such
Subservicer under Section 8.12(f) of this Agreement. Such Servicer shall be
responsible for obtaining from each such Subservicer and delivering to
applicable Persons any servicer compliance statement required to be delivered
by
such Subservicer under Section 3.22 and any assessment of compliance report
and related accountant’s attestation required to be delivered by such
Subservicer under Section 3.23, in each case as and when required to be
delivered.
(e) Subject
to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.02(e), each Servicer and any
Subservicer engaged by such Servicer is permitted to utilize one or more
Subcontractors to perform certain of its obligations hereunder. Such Servicer
shall promptly upon request provide to the Depositor a written description
(in
form and substance satisfactory to the Depositor) of the role and function
of
each Subcontractor utilized by such Servicer or any such Subservicer,
specifying, not later than the date specified for delivery of the annual report
on assessment of compliance set forth in Section 3.23(d), (i) the
identity of each such Subcontractor, if any, that is “participating in the
servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB,
and (ii) which elements of the Servicing Criteria will be addressed in
assessments of compliance provided by each Subcontractor identified pursuant
to
clause (i) of this paragraph. As a condition to the utilization by such
Servicer or any such Subservicer of any Subcontractor determined to be
“participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122
of Regulation AB, such Servicer shall cause any such Subcontractor used by
such
Servicer (or by any such Subservicer) for the benefit of the Depositor and
the
Trustee to comply with the provisions of Section 3.23 of this Agreement to
the same extent as if such Subcontractor were such Servicer. Such Servicer
shall
be responsible for obtaining from each such Subcontractor and delivering to
the
applicable Persons any assessment of compliance report and related accountant’s
attestation required to be delivered by such Subcontractor under
Section 3.23, in each case as and when required to be
delivered.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if a Servicer engages a Subcontractor in connection with the
performance of any of its duties under this Agreement, such Servicer shall
be
responsible for determining whether such Subcontractor is a “servicer” within
the meaning of Item 1101 of Regulation AB and whether any such affiliate or
third-party vendor meets the criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i) through
(iii) of Regulation AB. If a Servicer determines, pursuant to the
preceding sentence, that such Subcontractor is a “servicer” within the meaning
of Item 1101 of Regulation AB and meets the criteria in
Item 1108(a)(2)(i) through (iii) of Regulation AB, then such
Subcontractor shall be deemed to be a Subservicer for purposes of this
Agreement, the engagement of such Subservicer shall not be effective unless
and
until notice is given pursuant to Section 3.02(a) and such Servicer shall
comply with Section 3.02(d) with respect thereto.
Section
3.03 Successor
Subservicers.
Each
Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing Agreement to which
such
Servicer is a party and the rights and obligations of any Subservicer pursuant
to any such Subservicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions
of such Subservicing Agreement; provided,
however,
that
the termination, resignation or removal of a Subservicer shall be not be
effective until 30 days after written notice is received by both the Depositor
and the Trustee that contains all information reasonably necessary to enable
the
Trustee, pursuant to Section 8.12(g), to accurately and timely report the
event under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act (if
such reports under the Exchange Act are required to be filed under the Exchange
Act). In the event of termination of any Subservicer, all servicing obligations
of such Subservicer shall be assumed simultaneously by the applicable Servicer
without any act or deed on the part of such Subservicer or such Servicer, and
such Servicer either shall service directly the related Mortgage Loans or shall
enter into a Subservicing Agreement with a successor Subservicer which qualifies
under Section 3.02.
Any
Subservicing Agreement shall include the provision that such agreement may
be
immediately terminated by the Depositor or the Trustee without fee, in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in the event that the applicable
Servicer shall, for any reason, no longer be a Servicer (including termination
due to an Event of Default).
Section
3.04 Liability
of the Servicers.
Notwithstanding any Subservicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this
Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between a Servicer and a
Subservicer or reference to actions taken through a Subservicer or otherwise,
such Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the Trustee for
the
servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3.01 without diminution of such obligation or
liability by virtue of such Subservicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue
of indemnification from the Subservicer and to the same extent and under the
same terms and conditions as if such Servicer alone were servicing and
administering such Mortgage Loans. Each Servicer shall be entitled to enter
into
any agreement with a Subservicer for indemnification of such Servicer by such
Subservicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit
or
modify such indemnification.
Section
3.05 No
Contractual Relationship between Subservicers and the Trustee.
Any
Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any transactions or services
relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer in its capacity as such
shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and the related Servicer alone,
and the Trustee (or any successor to such servicer) shall not be deemed a party
thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities
with respect to the Subservicer except as set forth in Section 3.06. Each
Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any Subservicer,
irrespective of whether such Servicer’s compensation pursuant to this Agreement
is sufficient to pay such fees.
Section
3.06 Assumption
or Termination of Subservicing Agreements by Trustee.
In the
event a Servicer at any time shall for any reason no longer be a Servicer
(including by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default), the Trustee,
or
its designee, or the successor servicer if the successor is not the Trustee,
shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of such Servicer under
each Subservicing Agreement that such Servicer may have entered into, with
copies thereof provided to the Trustee, or the successor servicer if the
successor is not the Trustee, prior to the Trustee, or the successor servicer
if
the successor is not the Trustee, assuming such rights and obligations, unless
the Trustee elects to terminate any Subservicing Agreement in accordance with
its terms as provided in Section 3.03.
Upon
such
assumption, the Trustee, its designee or the successor servicer shall be deemed,
subject to Section 3.03, to have assumed all of such Servicer’s interest
therein and to have replaced such Servicer as a party to each Subservicing
Agreement to which the predecessor servicer was a party to the same extent
as if
each Subservicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party, except
that
(i) such Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or
obligations under any such Subservicing Agreement that arose before it ceased
to
be a Servicer and (ii) none of the Depositor, the Trustee, their designees
or any successor to such servicer shall be deemed to have assumed any liability
or obligation of such Servicer that arose before it ceased to be a
Servicer.
Such
Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the Trustee, its designee or
the
successor servicer deliver to the assuming party all documents and records
relating to each Subservicing Agreement to which it is a party and the Mortgage
Loans then being serviced by it and an accounting of amounts collected and
held
by or on behalf of it, and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly
and efficient transfer of the Subservicing Agreements to the assuming
party.
Section
3.07 Collection
of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.
(a) Each
Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under
the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to the extent such
procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions
of any applicable Insurance Policies, follow such collection procedures as
it
would follow with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans
and
held for its own account. Consistent with the foregoing and Accepted Servicing
Practices, each Servicer may (i) waive any late payment charge or, if
applicable, any penalty interest, or (ii) extend the Due Dates for the
Scheduled Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not greater than
180 days; provided
that any
extension pursuant to clause (ii) above shall not affect the
amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of any computation
hereunder, except as provided below. In the event of any such arrangement
pursuant to clause (ii) above, the applicable Servicer shall make
timely advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant to
Section 4.01 and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such
Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements,
subject to Section 4.01(d) pursuant to which such Servicer shall not be
required to make any such advances that are Nonrecoverable P&I Advances.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Servicer may waive, or permit a Subservicer
to
waive, in whole or in part, a Prepayment Charge only under the following
circumstances: (i) such waiver relates to a default or a reasonably
foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of such Servicer,
maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such
Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that the
applicable Servicer or Subservicer shall waive such Prepayment Charge if the
Mortgage Loan is accelerated or paid-off in connection with the workout of
a
delinquent Mortgage Loan or due to the related Mortgagor’s default,
notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan or federal or state law
might permit the imposition of such Prepayment Charge, (ii) such Prepayment
Charge is not permitted to be collected by applicable federal, state or local
law or regulation or (iii) the collection of such Prepayment Charge would
be considered “predatory” pursuant to written guidance published or issued by
any applicable federal, state or local regulatory authority acting in its
official capacity and having jurisdiction over such matters. If a Prepayment
Charge is waived other than as permitted by the prior sentence, then the
applicable Servicer is required to pay the amount of such waived Prepayment
Charge, for the benefit of the Holders of the Class P Certificates, by
depositing such amount into the related Collection Account together with and
at
the time that the amount prepaid on the related Mortgage Loan is required to
be
deposited into the Collection Account; provided,
however,
that
the applicable Servicer shall not have an obligation to pay the amount of any
uncollected Prepayment Charge if the failure to collect such amount is the
direct result of inaccurate or incomplete information on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule in effect at such time.
(b) (i)The
Trustee shall establish and maintain the Excess Reserve Fund Account, on behalf
of the Class X Certificateholders, to receive any Basis Risk Payment and to
secure their limited recourse obligation to pay to the Offered
Certificateholders Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts (prior to using any Net
Swap
Receipts). For the avoidance of doubt, any Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts
shall
be paid to the Offered Certificates first from the Excess Reserve Fund Account
and then from the Swap Account.
(ii) On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall deposit the amount of any Basis Risk
Payment for such date into the Excess Reserve Fund Account.
(c) (i)On
each
Distribution Date on which there exists a Basis Risk CarryForward Amount on
any
Class of Certificates, the Trustee shall (1) withdraw from the Distribution
Account and deposit in the Excess Reserve Fund Account, as set forth in
Section 4.02(a)(iii)(S), the lesser of (x) the Class X
Distributable Amount (without regard to the reduction in clause (iii) in
the definition thereof) (to the extent remaining after the distributions
specified in Sections 4.02(a)(iii)(A)-(R)) and (y) the aggregate Basis
Risk CarryForward Amounts for such Distribution Date and (2) withdraw from
the Excess Reserve Fund Account amounts necessary to pay to such Class or
Classes of Certificates the Basis Risk CarryForward Amount. Such payments,
along
with payments from the Swap Account, shall be allocated to those Classes on
a
pro rata
basis
based upon the amount of Basis Risk CarryForward Amount owed to each such Class
and shall be paid in the priority set forth in
Section 4.02(a)(iii)(T).
(ii) The
beneficial owners of the Excess Reserve Fund Account are the Class X
Certificateholders. For all federal tax purposes, amounts transferred by REMIC
III to the Excess Reserve Fund Account shall be treated as distributions by
the
Trustee to the Class X Certificateholders.
(iii) Any
Basis
Risk CarryForward Amounts paid by the Trustee to the Offered Certificateholders
shall be accounted for by the Trustee as amounts paid first to the Holders
of
the Class X Certificates and then to the respective Class or Classes of
Offered Certificates. In addition, the Trustee shall account for the Offered
Certificateholders’ rights to receive payments of Basis Risk CarryForward
Amounts (along with payments of Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts from the Swap
Account) as rights in a limited recourse interest rate cap contract written
by
the Class X Certificateholders in favor of the LIBOR
Certificateholders.
(iv) Notwithstanding
any provision contained in this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be required
to
make any payments from the Excess Reserve Fund Account except as expressly
set
forth in this Section 3.07(c) and Sections 4.02(a)(iii)(T) and
(V).
(d) The
Trustee shall establish and maintain the Distribution Account on behalf of
the
Certificateholders. The Depositor shall cause to be deposited into the
Distribution Account on the Closing Date the Closing Date Deposit Amount. The
Trustee shall, promptly upon receipt, deposit in the Distribution Account and
retain therein the following:
(i) the
aggregate amount remitted by the Servicers to the Trustee pursuant to
Section 3.11;
(ii) any
amount deposited by the Servicers pursuant to Section 3.12(b) in
connection with any losses on Permitted Investments; and
(iii) any
other
amounts deposited hereunder which are required to be deposited in the
Distribution Account.
In
the
event that any Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted,
it
may at any time direct the Trustee in writing to withdraw such amount from
the
Distribution Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
Such
direction may be accomplished by delivering notice to the Trustee which
describes the amounts deposited in error in the Distribution Account. All funds
deposited in the Distribution Account shall be held by the Trustee in trust
for
the Certificateholders until disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or
withdrawn in accordance with Section 4.02.
(e) The
Trustee may invest the funds in the Distribution Account, in one or more
Permitted Investments, in accordance with Section 3.12. Each Servicer shall
direct the Trustee to withdraw from the Distribution Account and to remit to
such Servicer no less than monthly, all income and gain realized from the
investment of the portion of funds deposited in the Distribution Account by
such
Servicer (except during the Trustee Float Period). The Trustee may withdraw
from
the Distribution Account any income or gain earned from the investment of funds
deposited therein during the Trustee Float Period for its own
benefit.
(f) Each
Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall give notice
to
each Rating Agency and the Depositor of any proposed change of the location
of
the related Collection Account within a reasonable period of time prior to
any
change thereof.
(g) In
order
to comply with laws, rules and regulations applicable to banking institutions,
including those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money
laundering, the Trustee is required to obtain, verify and record certain
information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business
relationship with the Trustee. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees to
provide to the Trustee upon its request from time to time such party’s complete
name, address, tax identification number and such other identifying information
together with copies of such party’s constituting documentation, securities
disclosure documentation and such other identifying documentation as may be
available for such party.

Accounts.
In
those cases where a Subservicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a
Subservicing Agreement, the Subservicer will be required to establish and
maintain one or more segregated accounts (collectively, the “Subservicing
Account”).
The
Subservicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall otherwise be
acceptable to the related Servicer. The Subservicer shall deposit in the
clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it
customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection
with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event
more than one Business Day after the Subservicer’s receipt thereof, all proceeds
of Mortgage Loans received by the Subservicer less its servicing compensation
to
the extent permitted by the Subservicing Agreement, and shall thereafter deposit
such amounts in the Subservicing Account, in no event more than two Business
Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account. The Subservicer
shall thereafter deposit such proceeds in the Collection Account of the related
Servicer or remit such proceeds to the related Servicer for deposit in the
Collection Account of the related Servicer not later than two Business Days
after the deposit of such amounts in the Subservicing Account. For purposes
of
this Agreement, such Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on
the
Mortgage Loans when the Subservicer receives such payments.
Section
3.09 Collection
of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow Accounts.
(a)
Each
Servicer shall enforce the obligations under each paid-in-full, life-of-the-loan
tax service contract in effect with respect to each First Lien Mortgage Loan
(each, a “Tax
Service Contract”)
serviced by such Servicer. Each Tax Service Contract shall be assigned to the
Trustee, or a successor servicer at the applicable Servicer’s expense in the
event that a Servicer is terminated as Servicer of the related Mortgage
Loan.
(b) To
the
extent that the services described in this paragraph (b) are not
otherwise provided pursuant to the Tax Service Contracts described in
paragraph (a) above, each Servicer undertakes to perform such
functions with respect to the Mortgage Loans serviced by such Servicer. To
the
extent the related Mortgage provides for Escrow Payments, the related Servicer
shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one
or
more segregated accounts (the “Escrow
Accounts”),
which
shall be Eligible Accounts. Each Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account
(which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits
payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage
loan
servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business
Day after the Servicer’s receipt thereof, all collections from the Mortgagors
(or related advances from Subservicers) for the payment of taxes, assessments,
hazard insurance premiums and comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors
(“Escrow
Payments”)
collected on account of the Mortgage Loans and shall thereafter deposit such
Escrow Payments in the Escrow Accounts, in no event more than two Business
Days
after the deposit of such funds in the clearing account, for the purpose of
effecting the payment of any such items as required under the terms of this
Agreement. Withdrawals of amounts from an Escrow Account may be made only to
(i) effect payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, and
comparable items; (ii) reimburse such Servicer (or a Subservicer to the
extent provided in the related Subservicing Agreement) out of related
collections for any advances made pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to
taxes and assessments) and Section 3.13 (with respect to hazard insurance);
(iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages;
(iv) pay interest, if required and as described below, to Mortgagors on
balances in the Escrow Account; (v) clear and terminate the Escrow Account
at the termination of such Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities in
respect of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement; (vi) to transfer such
funds to a replacement Escrow Account that meets the requirements hereof; or
(vii) recover amounts deposited in error. As part of its servicing duties,
each Servicer or Subservicers shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds
in
Escrow Accounts, to the extent required by law and, to the extent that interest
earned on funds in the Escrow Accounts is insufficient, to pay such interest
from its or their own funds, without any reimbursement therefor. To the extent
that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the applicable Servicer
shall determine whether any such payments are made by the Mortgagor in a manner
and at a time that avoids the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale
or the foreclosure of a tax lien. The applicable Servicer assumes full
responsibility for the payment of all such bills within such time and shall
effect payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor’s faithful
performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and
shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments; provided,
however,
that
such advances are deemed to be Servicing Advances.
Section
3.10 Collection
Accounts.
(a) On
behalf of the Trustee, each Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause
to
be established and maintained, one or more separate Eligible Accounts (such
account or accounts, the “Collection
Account”),
held
in trust for the benefit of the Trustee. On behalf of the Trustee, each Servicer
shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the clearing account (which account
must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and
collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing
activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after
such Servicer’s receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the related
Collection Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit
of
such funds into the clearing account, as and when received or as otherwise
required hereunder, the following payments and collections received or made
by
it subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal or
interest on the related Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date),
or
payments (other than Principal Prepayments) received by it on or prior to the
Cut-off Date but allocable to a Due Period subsequent thereto:
(i) all
payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments, on the
Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all
payments on account of interest (net of the related Servicing Fee) on each
Mortgage Loan;
(iii) all
Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds to the extent such Insurance
Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds are not to be applied to the restoration
of
the related Mortgaged Property or released to the related Mortgagor in
accordance with the express requirements of law or in accordance with Accepted
Servicing Practices and Liquidation Proceeds;
(iv) any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12 in connection
with any losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held
in
the related Collection Account;
(v) any
amounts required to be deposited by such Servicer pursuant to the second
paragraph of Section 3.13(a) in respect of any blanket policy
deductibles;
(vi) all
proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased or purchased in accordance with this
Agreement; and
(vii) all
Prepayment Charges collected or paid (pursuant to Section 3.07(a)) by such
Servicer.
The
foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Accounts shall be
exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges, NSF fees,
reconveyance fees, assumption fees and other similar fees and charges need
not
be deposited by each Servicer in the related Collection Account and shall,
upon
collection, belong to the applicable Servicer as additional compensation for
its
servicing activities. In the event a Servicer shall deposit in the related
Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may
at
any time withdraw such amount from its Collection Account, any provision herein
to the contrary notwithstanding.
(b) Funds
in
the Collection Accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance
with the provisions set forth in Section 3.12. Each Servicer shall give
notice to the Trustee of the location of the related Collection Account
maintained by it when established and prior to any change thereof in accordance
with Section 3.07(f).
Section
3.11 Withdrawals
from the Collection Accounts.
(a) Each
Servicer shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the related Collection
Account for any of the following purposes or as described in
Section 4.01:
(i) on
or
prior to each Remittance Date, to remit to the Trustee (A) the Trustee Fee
with respect to such Distribution Date and (B) all Available Funds (without
reduction for amounts owed to the Depositor or the Trustee as provided for
in
the definition of “Available Funds”) in respect of the related Distribution Date
together with all amounts representing Prepayment Charges from the Mortgage
Loans received by the applicable Servicer during the related Prepayment
Period;
(ii) to
reimburse such Servicer for P&I Advances, but only to the extent of amounts
received which represent Late Collections (net of the related Servicing Fees)
of
Scheduled Payments on Mortgage Loans with respect to which such P&I Advances
were made in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01 (such
Servicer’s right for recovery or reimbursement has priority over the Trust as
stated in the definition of “Available
Funds”);
(iii) to
pay
such Servicer or any Subservicer (a) any unpaid Servicing Fees or
(b) any unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to each Mortgage Loan
serviced by such Servicer or Subservicer, but only to the extent of any Late
Collections, Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds
or
other amounts as may be collected by such Servicer from a Mortgagor, or
otherwise received with respect to such Mortgage Loan (or the related REO
Property) (such Servicer’s right for recovery or reimbursement has priority over
the Trust as stated in the definition of “Available
Funds”);
(iv) to
pay to
such Servicer as servicing compensation (in addition to the Servicing Fee)
on
each Remittance Date any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited
in its Collection Account;
(v) to
pay to
the Responsible Party, with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has previously
been repurchased or replaced pursuant to this Agreement, all amounts received
thereon subsequent to the date of purchase or substitution, as further described
herein;
(vi) to
reimburse such Servicer for (A) any P&I Advance or Servicing Advance
previously made which such Servicer has determined to be a Nonrecoverable
P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4.01 and (B) any unpaid Servicing Fees related
to any Second Lien Mortgage Loan to the extent not recoverable from Liquidation
Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or other amounts received with respect to the
related Second Lien Mortgage Loan under Section 3.11(a)(iii) (such
Servicer’s right for recovery or reimbursement has priority over the Trust as
stated in the definition of “Available
Funds”);
(vii) to
pay,
or to reimburse such Servicer for advances in respect of, expenses incurred
in
connection with any Mortgage Loan serviced by such Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.15 (such Servicer’s right for recovery or reimbursement has
priority over the Trust);
(viii) to
reimburse such Servicer or the Depositor for expenses incurred by or
reimbursable to such Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be, pursuant
to
Section 6.03 (such Servicer’s right for recovery or reimbursement has
priority over the Trust as stated in the definition of “Available
Funds”);
(ix) to
reimburse such Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, for expenses
reasonably incurred in respect of the breach or defect giving rise to the
repurchase obligation of the Responsible Party under this Agreement that were
included in the Repurchase Price of the Mortgage Loan, including any expenses
arising out of the enforcement of the repurchase obligation, to the extent
not
otherwise paid pursuant to the terms hereof (such Servicer’s right for recovery
or reimbursement has priority over the Trust as stated in the definition of
“Available
Funds”);
(x) to
withdraw any amounts deposited in the related Collection Account in
error;
(xi) to
withdraw any amounts held in the related Collection Account and not required
to
be remitted to the Trustee on the Remittance Date occurring in the month in
which such amounts are deposited into such Collection Account, to reimburse
such
Servicer for xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X Advances;
(xii) to
invest
funds in Permitted Investments in accordance with Section 3.12; and
(xiii) to
clear
and terminate the related Collection Account upon termination of this
Agreement.
(b) Each
Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by
Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the
related Collection Account, to the extent held by or on behalf of it, pursuant
to subclauses (a)(ii), (iii), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii) and (ix) above.
Each Servicer shall provide written notification (as set forth in
Section 4.01(d)) to the Trustee, on or prior to the next succeeding
Remittance Date, upon making any withdrawals from the related Collection Account
pursuant to subclause (a)(vi) above.
(c) Each
Servicer shall be responsible for reviewing and reconciling the applicable
Collection Account in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Each
Servicer shall act promptly to resolve any discrepancies.
Section
3.12 Investment
of Funds in the Collection Accounts and the Distribution Account.
(a)
Each
Servicer may invest the funds in the related Collection Account and the related
Escrow Account (to the extent permitted by law and the related Mortgage Loan
documents) and the Trustee may (but is not obligated to) invest funds in the
Distribution Account during the Trustee Float Period, and, with respect to
the
portion of funds in the Distribution Account deposited by a Servicer, shall
(except during the Trustee Float Period) invest such funds in the Distribution
Account at the direction of such Servicer (for purposes of this
Section 3.12, such Accounts are referred to as an “Investment
Account”),
in
one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and
maturing, unless payable on demand, no later than the Business Day immediately
preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such
account pursuant to this Agreement; provided,
however,
that
the Trustee shall have no obligation to invest funds deposited into the
Distribution Account by a Servicer on the Remittance Date later than 10:00
a.m.
(Pacific Standard Time). If no investment instruction is given in a timely
manner, the Trustee shall hold the funds in the Distribution Account uninvested.
All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on
demand. Any investment of funds in an Investment Account (other than investments
made during the Trustee Float Period) shall be made in the name of the Trustee
in Permitted Investments selected by the applicable Servicer. The applicable
Servicer shall be entitled to sole possession (except with respect to investment
direction of funds and any income and gain realized on any investment in the
Distribution Account during the Trustee Float Period, which shall be for the
sole benefit of the Trustee) over each such related investment, and any
certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment shall be
delivered directly to the applicable Servicer, or with respect to investments
during the Trustee Float Period, the Trustee or its agent (with a copy to the
Trustee or its agent if related to investment of funds in the Distribution
Account not during the Trustee Float Period), together with any document of
transfer necessary to transfer title to such investment to the applicable
Servicer, or with respect to investments during the Trustee Float Period, the
Trustee or its agent. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account
are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the
applicable Servicer, or with respect to investments during the Trustee Float
Period, the Trustee may:
|
(x)
|
consistent
with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment
thereon be made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise
mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts
then payable thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn
on such date; and
|
|
(y)
|
demand
payment of all amounts due thereunder that such Permitted Investment
would
not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter
on
deposit in an Investment Account.
|
(b) All
income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the related
Collection Account or Escrow Account held by or on behalf of the related
Servicer, shall be for the benefit of such Servicer and shall be subject to
its
withdrawal in the manner set forth in Section 3.11. Such Servicer shall
deposit in its Collection Account or Escrow Account, as applicable, the amount
of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment
made with funds in such accounts immediately upon realization of such
loss.
(c) All
income and gain realized from the investment of the portion of funds deposited
in the Distribution Account by a Servicer and held by the Trustee, shall be
for
the benefit of such Servicer (except for any income or gain realized from the
investment of funds on deposit in the Distribution Account during the Trustee
Float Period, which shall be for the benefit of the Trustee) and shall be
subject to the Trustee’s withdrawal in the manner set forth in
Section 3.07(e). Each Servicer shall deposit in the Distribution Account
(except with respect to losses incurred during the Trustee Float Period) the
amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted
Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately upon realization of
such
loss.
(d) Except
as
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the
making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs
in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Trustee
shall take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or
performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate
proceedings.
(e) The
Trustee shall not be liable for the amount of any loss incurred with respect
of
any investment or lack of investment of funds held in any Investment Account
or
the Distribution Account (except that if any losses are incurred from the
investment of funds deposited in the Distribution Account during the Trustee
Float Period, the Trustee shall be responsible for reimbursing the Trust for
such loss immediately upon realization of such loss) if made in accordance
with
this Section 3.12.
(f) The
Trustee or its Affiliates shall be permitted to receive additional compensation
that could be deemed to be in the Trustee’s economic self-interest for
(i) serving as investment adviser, administrator, shareholder, servicing
agent, custodian or sub-custodian with respect to certain of the Permitted
Investments, (ii) using Affiliates to effect transactions in certain
Permitted Investments and (iii) effecting transactions in certain Permitted
Investments. Such compensation shall not be considered an amount that is
reimbursable or payable pursuant to this Agreement.
Section
3.13 Maintenance
of Hazard Insurance and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity
Coverage.
(a)
Each
Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan serviced by such
Servicer fire insurance with extended coverage on the related Mortgaged Property
in an amount which is at least equal to the least of (i) the outstanding
principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, (ii) the amount necessary to fully
compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such
property on a replacement cost basis and (iii) the maximum insurable value
of the improvements which are a part of such Mortgaged Property, in each case
in
an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to avoid the application
of
any coinsurance clause contained in the related hazard insurance policy. Each
Servicer shall also cause to be maintained fire insurance with extended coverage
on each REO Property serviced by such Servicer in an amount which is at least
equal to the least of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements
which are a part of such property, (ii) the outstanding principal balance
of the related Mortgage Loan at the time it became an REO Property and (iii)
the
amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements
that are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis. Each Servicer
will
comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and
requirements of each insurer under any such hazard policies. Any amounts to
be
collected by any Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be
applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related
Mortgage or amounts to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the
procedures that such Servicer would follow in servicing loans held for its
own
account, subject to the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage and
Mortgage Note) shall be deposited in the related Collection Account, subject
to
withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.11. Any cost incurred by any Servicer in
maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating
distributions to the Trustee, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the
related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan
so
permit. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional
insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor other than pursuant to such
applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall
require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property or REO Property
is
at any time in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and flood insurance
has been made available, the applicable Servicer will cause to be maintained
a
flood insurance policy in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in
an
amount equal to the least of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the
related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance available
for the related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program
(assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is
participating in such program) and (iii) the amount necessary to fully
compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such
property on a replacement cost basis.
In
the
event that any Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy with an
insurer either (i) acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac or
(ii) having a General Policy Rating of A:X or better from Best’s (or such
other rating that is comparable to such rating) insuring against hazard losses
on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied
its obligations as set forth in the first two sentences of this
Section 3.13, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a
deductible clause, in which case such Servicer shall, in the event that there
shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property
a policy complying with the first two sentences of this Section 3.13, and
there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such
policy, deposit to the related Collection Account from its own funds the amount
not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible
clause. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of
the
Mortgage Loans, each Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself
and the Trustee claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in
accordance with the terms of such policy.
(b) Each
Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this Agreement a policy or
policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for failure in the
performance of such Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement, which policy or
policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the requirements
of
Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac if it were the purchaser of the Mortgage Loans, unless
such Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae or
Xxxxxxx Mac. Each Servicer shall also maintain a fidelity bond in the form
and
amount that would meet the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, unless
such Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae or
Xxxxxxx Mac. Each Servicer shall provide the Trustee upon request with copies
of
any such insurance policies and fidelity bond. Each Servicer shall be deemed
to
have complied with this provision if an Affiliate of the applicable Servicer
has
such errors and omissions and fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such
insurance policy or fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends
to
such Servicer. Any such errors and omissions policy and fidelity bond shall
by
its terms not be cancelable without thirty days’ prior written notice to the
Trustee. Each Servicer shall also cause each Subservicer to maintain a policy
of
insurance covering errors and omissions and a fidelity bond which would meet
such requirements.
Section
3.14 Enforcement
of “Due-on-Sale” Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
Each
Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective
conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any Mortgagor (whether by absolute
conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains
or
is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise
its
rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the “due-on-sale”
clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided,
however,
that no
Servicer shall be required to take such action if, in its sole business
judgment, such Servicer believes it is not in the best interests of the Trust
Fund and shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from doing
so.
If a Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce
such “due-on-sale” clause or if any of the other conditions set forth in the
proviso to the preceding sentence apply, such Servicer will enter into an
assumption and modification agreement from or with the person to whom such
property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which
such
person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted
by
applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. Each Servicer is
also authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such
person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability
and
such person is substituted as the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the
Mortgage Note; provided,
that no
such substitution shall be effective unless such person satisfies the
underwriting criteria of such Servicer and such substitution is in the best
interest of the Certificateholders as determined by such Servicer. In connection
with any assumption, modification or substitution, such Servicer shall apply
such underwriting standards and follow such practices and procedures as shall
be
normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and as it applies
to other mortgage loans owned solely by it. No Servicer shall take or enter
into
any assumption and modification agreement, however, unless (to the extent
practicable in the circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in
writing, of the continued effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance
policy, or a new policy meeting the requirements of this Section is
obtained. Any fee collected by a Servicer in respect of an assumption or
substitution of liability agreement will be retained by such Servicer as
additional servicing compensation. In connection with any such assumption,
no
material term of the Mortgage Note (including but not limited to the related
Mortgage Rate and the amount of the Scheduled Payment) may be amended or
modified, except as otherwise required pursuant to the terms thereof. Each
Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution, modification
or
assumption agreement has been completed and shall forward to the Trustee the
executed original of such substitution or assumption agreement, which document
shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be
considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other
documents and instruments constituting a part thereof.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, a Servicer
shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its
obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by
operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any assumption which
such Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason
whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 3.14, the term “assumption” is
deemed to also include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property) subject to the
Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability
agreement.
Section
3.15 Realization
upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
Each
Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with Accepted Servicing
Practices, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert (which may include
an acquisition of REO Property) the ownership of properties securing such of
the
Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no
satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments
pursuant to Section 3.07, and which are not released from this Agreement
pursuant to any other provision hereof. Each Servicer shall use reasonable
efforts to realize upon such defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner as will
maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Trustee, taking into
account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings; provided,
however,
with
respect to any Second Lien Mortgage Loan for which the related first lien
mortgage loan is not included in the Trust Fund, if, after such Mortgage Loan
becomes 180 days or more delinquent, the applicable Servicer determines that
a
significant net recovery is not possible through foreclosure, such Mortgage
Loan
may be charged off and the Mortgage Loan will be treated as a Liquidated
Mortgage Loan giving rise to a Realized Loss. The foregoing is subject to the
provisions that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall have suffered
damage from an uninsured cause, a Servicer shall not be required to expend
its
own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine
in
its sole discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the net
proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to the Trustee, after
reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will
be recoverable by such Servicer through Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation
Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as
contemplated in Section 3.11. Each Servicer shall be responsible for all
other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided,
however,
that it
shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the related property, as
contemplated in Section 3.11.
The
proceeds of any liquidation or REO Disposition, as well as any recovery
resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds
or Liquidation Proceeds or any income from an REO Property, will be applied
in
the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the applicable Servicer
or
any Subservicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, pursuant to
Section 3.11 or 3.17; second, to reimburse the applicable Servicer for any
related xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X Advances, pursuant to Section 3.11; third, to
accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan or REO Imputed Interest, at
the
Mortgage Rate, to the date of the liquidation or REO Disposition, or to the
Due
Date prior to the Remittance Date on which such amounts are to be distributed
if
not in connection with a liquidation or REO Disposition; and fourth, as a
recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the recovery so
allocated to interest is less than a full recovery thereof, that amount will
be
allocated as follows: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees; and second, as interest
at the Mortgage Rate (net of the Servicing Fee Rate). The portion of the
recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the
applicable Servicer or any Subservicer pursuant to Section 3.11 or 3.17.
The portions of the recovery so allocated to interest at the Mortgage Rate
(net
of the Servicing Fee Rate) and to principal of the Mortgage Loan shall be
applied as follows: first, to reimburse the applicable Servicer or any
Subservicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances in accordance with
Section 3.11 or 3.17, and second, to the Trustee in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4.02, subject to the last paragraph of
Section 3.17 with respect to certain excess recoveries from an REO
Disposition.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a foreclosure
or
acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event a Servicer has
received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of the presence of, hazardous
or toxic substances or wastes on the related Mortgaged Property, or if the
Trustee otherwise requests, such Servicer shall cause an environmental
inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property to be conducted by a qualified
inspector. Upon completion of the inspection, such Servicer shall promptly
provide the Trustee and the Depositor with a written report of the environmental
inspection.
After
reviewing the environmental inspection report, the applicable Servicer shall
determine consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices how the Servicer shall
proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property. In the event (a) the
environmental inspection report indicates that the Mortgaged Property is
contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes and (b) the
applicable Servicer determines, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices,
to
proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, such
Servicer shall be reimbursed for all reasonable costs associated with such
foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and any related
environmental clean-up costs, as applicable, from the related Liquidation
Proceeds, or if the Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient to fully reimburse
such Servicer, such Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from amounts
in
the related Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.11. In the event the
applicable Servicer determines not to proceed with foreclosure or acceptance
of
a deed in lieu of foreclosure, such Servicer shall be reimbursed from general
collections for all Servicing Advances made with respect to the related
Mortgaged Property from the related Collection Account pursuant to
Section 3.11. The Trustee shall not be responsible for any determination
made by the applicable Servicer pursuant to this paragraph or
otherwise.
In
the
event either Servicer elects to charge-off a Second Lien Mortgage Loan
180 days or more delinquent pursuant to this Section 3.15, no Second
Lien Mortgage Loan shall be characterized as a Liquidated Mortgage Loan, unless
the Depositor consents in writing to such characterization after such Servicer
has provided the Depositor with a combined equity analysis of such Second Lien
Mortgage Loan and the related first lien mortgage loan; provided, that if the
Depositor has failed to notify the applicable Servicer within 3 Business Days
of
receipt of such combined equity analysis, then the Depositor shall be deemed
to
have consented to such characterization. In the event either Servicer elects
to
charge off a Second Lien Mortgage Loan 180 days or more delinquent pursuant
to
this Section 3.15, such Servicer shall notify the Trustee of such election,
which notice may be provided in a Servicer Remittance Report delivered pursuant
to Section 4.03(d).
Section
3.16 Release
of Mortgage Files.
(a) Upon
the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by a Servicer of a
notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner customary for
such purposes, such Servicer will, on or before the last day of the month in
which such payment in full occurs, notify the Trustee by a certification (which
certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received
or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be
deposited in the related Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.10 have
been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery
to it of the Custodial File by submitting a Request for Release (in writing
or
an electronic format acceptable to the Trustee) to the Trustee. Upon receipt
of
such certification and Request for Release, the Trustee shall promptly release
the related Custodial File to such Servicer within three (3) Business Days.
No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed
of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the related Collection
Account.
(b) From
time
to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage
Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any Insurance Policy
relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Trustee shall, upon request of such Servicer
and delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release in written or electronic
form, release the related Custodial File to such Servicer, and the Trustee
shall, at the direction of such Servicer, execute such documents as shall be
necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings and such Servicer shall
retain the Mortgage File in trust for the benefit of the Trustee. Such Request
for Release shall obligate the applicable Servicer to return each and every
document previously requested from the Custodial File to the Trustee when the
need therefor by such Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has
been charged-off or liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the
Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the related Collection Account or the
Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public
trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating
or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the
Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and such Servicer has
delivered to the Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as
to
the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document
was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of
a
certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was
charged-off or liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in
connection with such liquidation that are required to be deposited into the
related Collection Account have been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan
has become an REO Property, a copy of the Request for Release shall be released
by the Trustee to the applicable Servicer or its designee upon request therefor.
Upon receipt of a Request for Release under this Section 3.16, the Trustee
shall deliver the related Custodial File to the requesting Servicer (at such
Servicer’s expense); provided,
however,
that in
the event a Servicer has not previously received copies of the relevant Mortgage
Loan Documents necessary to service the related Mortgage Loan in accordance
with
Accepted Servicing Practices, the Responsible Party shall reimburse the Trustee
for any overnight courier charges incurred for the requested Custodial
Files.
Upon
written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall execute and
deliver to the applicable Servicer copies of any court pleadings, requests
for
trustee’s sale or other documents reasonably necessary to the foreclosure or
trustee’s sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought
to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or
to
obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights
provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or
in
equity, or shall exercise and deliver to such Servicer a power of attorney
sufficient to authorize such Servicer to execute such documents on its behalf.
Each such certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents
be executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents
or
pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the
Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except
for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or
trustee’s sale.
Section
3.17 Title,
Conservation and Disposition of REO Property.
(a) This
Section shall apply only to REO Properties acquired for the account of the
Trustee and shall not apply to any REO Property relating to a Mortgage Loan
which was purchased or repurchased from the Trustee pursuant to any provision
hereof. In the event that title to any such REO Property is acquired, the
applicable Servicer shall cause the deed or certificate of sale to be issued
in
the name of the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. Upon written
request by the applicable Servicer, the Trustee shall provide such Servicer
with
a power of attorney prepared by such Servicer with respect to such REO
Property.
(b) Each
Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each related REO Property
for the Trustee solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale.
Each
Servicer, either itself or through an agent selected by such Servicer, shall
manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO Property in the same manner that
it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for
its
own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality
as the REO Property is managed. Each Servicer shall attempt to sell the same
(and may temporarily rent the same for a period not greater than one year,
except as otherwise provided below) on such terms and conditions as such
Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Trustee. The Trustee shall
have
no obligations with respect to any REO Dispositions.
(c) Each
Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection
with the operation of any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds
and
general assets and shall deposit such funds in the related Collection
Account.
(d) Each
Servicer shall deposit net of reimbursement to such Servicer for any related
outstanding Servicing Advances and unpaid Servicing Fees provided in
Section 3.11, or cause to be deposited, in no event more than two (2)
Business Days following such Servicer’s receipt thereof in the related
Collection Account all revenues received with respect to the related REO
Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation,
management and maintenance of the REO Property.
(e) Each
Servicer, upon an REO Disposition, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any
related unreimbursed Servicing Advances as well as any unpaid Servicing Fees
from proceeds received in connection with the REO Disposition, as further
provided in Section 3.11.
(f) Any
net
proceeds from an REO Disposition which are in excess of the unpaid principal
balance of the related Mortgage Loan plus all unpaid REO Imputed Interest
thereon through the date of the REO Disposition shall be retained by the
applicable Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
(g) Each
Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to sell, or cause its Subservicer
to sell, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, any REO Property
serviced by such Servicer as soon as possible, but in no event later than the
conclusion of the third calendar year beginning after the year of its
acquisition by REMIC I unless (i) such Servicer applies for an extension of
such period from the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to the REMIC Provisions
and Code Section 856(e)(3), in which event such REO Property shall be sold
within the applicable extension period, or (ii) such Servicer obtains for
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Depositor, the Trustee
and
such Servicer, to the effect that the holding by REMIC I of such REO Property
subsequent to such period will not result in the imposition of taxes on
“prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F of the Code or cause
any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or
comparable provisions of relevant state laws at any time. Each Servicer shall
manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property serviced by such
Servicer for the Trustee solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and
sale in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify
as
“foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) or result
in the receipt by REMIC I of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the
meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or any “net income from
foreclosure property” which is subject to taxation under Section 860G(a)(1)
of the Code. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the applicable
Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by such Servicer
protect and conserve such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent
as
is customary in the locality where such REO Property is located and may,
incident to its conservation and protection of the interests of the Trustee
on
behalf of the Certificateholders, rent the same, or any part thereof, as such
Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property;
provided,
however,
that
any rent received or accrued with respect to such REO Property qualifies as
“rents from real property” as defined in Section 856(d) of the
Code.
Section
3.18 Notification
of Adjustments.
With
respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, the applicable Servicer shall
adjust the Mortgage Rate on the Adjustment Date and shall adjust the Scheduled
Payment on the related mortgage payment adjustment date, if applicable, in
compliance with the requirements of applicable law and the related Mortgage
and
Mortgage Note. In the event that an Index becomes unavailable or otherwise
unpublished, the related Servicer shall select a comparable alternative index
over which it has no direct control and which is readily verifiable. Each
Servicer shall execute and deliver any and all necessary notices required under
applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding
the Mortgage Rate and Scheduled Payment adjustments. Each Servicer shall
promptly, upon written request therefor, deliver to the Trustee such
notifications and any additional applicable data regarding such adjustments
and
the methods used to calculate and implement such adjustments. Upon the discovery
by a Servicer or the receipt of notice from the Trustee that a Servicer has
failed to adjust a Mortgage Rate or Scheduled Payment in accordance with the
terms of the related Mortgage Note, such Servicer shall deposit in the related
Collection Account from its own funds the amount of any interest loss caused
as
such interest loss occurs.
Section
3.19 Access
to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Mortgage
Loans.
The
applicable Servicer shall provide, or cause the Subservicer to provide, to
the
Depositor, the Trustee, the OTS or the FDIC and the examiners and supervisory
agents thereof, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans in
its
possession required by applicable regulations of the OTS. Such access shall
be
afforded without charge, but only upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written
request and during normal business hours at the offices of the applicable
Servicer or any Subservicer. Nothing in this Section shall derogate from the
obligation of any such party to observe any applicable law prohibiting
disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of any such
party to provide access as provided in this Section as a result of such
obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.
Section
3.20 Documents,
Records and Funds in Possession of the Servicers to Be Held for the
Trustee.
Each
Servicer shall account fully to the Trustee for any funds received by such
Servicer or which otherwise are collected by such Servicer as Liquidation
Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage
Loan serviced by such Servicer. All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held
by, or under the control of, a Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans,
whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from
Liquidation Proceeds, including, but not limited to, any funds on deposit in
its
Collection Account, shall be held by such Servicer for and on behalf of the
Trustee and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee,
subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement. Each Servicer also
agrees that it shall not create, incur or subject any Mortgage File or any
funds
that are deposited in any Collection Account, the Distribution Account or any
Escrow Account, or any funds that otherwise are or may become due or payable
to
the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to any claim, lien,
security interest, judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance,
or
assert by legal action or otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any
Mortgage File or any funds collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage
Loan,
except, however, that such Servicer shall be entitled to set off against and
deduct from any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to
such
Servicer under this Agreement.
Section
3.21 Servicing
Compensation.
(a) As
compensation for its activities hereunder, each Servicer shall, with respect
to
each Mortgage Loan serviced by it, be entitled to retain from deposits to its
Collection Account and from Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds,
Insurance Proceeds and REO Proceeds related to such Mortgage Loan, the Servicing
Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan (less any portion of such amounts
retained by any Subservicer). In addition, each Servicer shall be entitled
to
recover unpaid Servicing Fees out of related late collections to the extent
permitted in Section 3.11. The right to receive the Servicing Fee may not
be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of
all
of a Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement;
provided,
however,
that
each Servicer may pay from the Servicing Fee any amounts due to a Subservicer
pursuant to a Subservicing Agreement entered into under
Section 3.02.
(b) Additional
servicing compensation in the form of assumption or modification fees, late
payment charges, NSF fees, reconveyance fees and other similar fees and charges
(other than Prepayment Charges) shall be retained by a Servicer only to the
extent such fees or charges are received by such Servicer. Each Servicer shall
also be entitled pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iv) to withdraw from the
related Collection Account, and pursuant to Section 3.07(e), to direct the
Trustee to withdraw from the Distribution Account and remit to the applicable
Servicer (except for monies invested during the Trustee Float Period), as
additional servicing compensation, interest or other income earned on the
related portions of deposits therein. Each Servicer shall also be entitled
as
additional servicing compensation, to interest or other income earned on
deposits in the related Escrow Account (to the extent permitted by law and
the
related Mortgage Loan documents) in accordance with Section 3.12. HomEq and
Xxxxx Fargo shall also be entitled to retain net Prepayment Interest Excesses
(to the extent not required to offset Prepayment Interest Shortfalls), but
only
to the extent such amounts are received by such Servicer.
(c) Each
Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection
with
its servicing activities hereunder (including payment of premiums for any
blanket policy insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.13,
servicing compensation of the Subservicer to the extent not retained by it
and
the fees and expenses of independent accountants and any agents appointed by
such Servicer), and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor from the
Trust Fund except as specifically provided in Section 3.11.
Section
3.22 Annual
Statement as to Compliance.
Each
Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered, and shall cause each
Subservicer engaged by such Servicer to deliver or cause to be delivered to
the
Trustee (and
the
Trustee shall make available to the Depositor as part of the filing package
forwarded to the Depositor for review and verification)
on or
before March 5th of each calendar year, commencing in 2007, an Officer’s
Certificate stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the
activities of the Servicer or Subservicer, as applicable, during the preceding
calendar year and of its performance under this Agreement or the applicable
Subservicing Agreement, as the case may be, has been made under such officers’
supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on
such review, such Servicer or Subservicer, as applicable, has fulfilled all
of
its obligations under this Agreement or the applicable Subservicing Agreement,
as the case may be, in all material respects, throughout such year, or, if
there
has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation in any material
respect, specifying each such default known to such officers and the nature
and
status thereof. Promptly after receipt of each such Officer’s Certificate, the
Depositor shall review each such Officer’s Certificate and, if applicable,
consult with the Servicer or Subservicer as to the nature of any defaults by
the
Servicer or any related Subservicer in the fulfillment of any of such Servicer’s
or any related Subservicer’s obligations. The obligations of the Trustee, each
Servicer and each Subservicer under this Section apply to the Trustee, each
Servicer and each Subservicer that serviced a Mortgage Loan, as applicable,
during the applicable period, whether or not such Servicer or such Subservicer
is acting as a Servicer or a Subservicer at the time such Officer’s Certificate
is required to be delivered. None of the Servicers or any Subservicer shall
be
required to cause the delivery of any Officer’s Certificate required by this
Section until March 10th
in any
given year so long as 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.

to
deliver, each at its own expense, to the Trustee (and the Trustee shall make
available to the Depositor), 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 8.12,
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 P hereto, or as set
forth in the notification furnished to the Depositor and the Trustee pursuant
to
Section 3.23(c). The Servicer and the Trustee hereby acknowledge and agree
that their respective assessments of compliance will cover the items identified
on Exhibit P hereto as being covered by such party. The parties to this
Agreement acknowledge that where a particular Servicing Criteria has multiple
components, each party’s assessment of compliance (and related attestation of
compliance) will relate only to those components that are applicable to such
party. Promptly after receipt of each such report on assessment of compliance,
the Depositor shall review each such report and, if applicable, consult with
the
applicable Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, as to the nature of any
material instance of noncompliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to
it
(and each Subservicer or Servicing Function Participant engaged or utilized
by
the applicable Servicer, such Subservicer or the Trustee, as applicable), as
the
case may be. None of the Servicers, the Trustee or any Subservicer or related
Servicing Function Participant shall be required to cause the delivery of any
such assessments until March 10th in any given year, and the Servicing
Function Participant shall not be required to deliver any such assessment,
so
long as 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.
(b) Not
later
than March 5th of each calendar year commencing in 2007, the Trustee and
each Servicer shall cause, and each Subservicer engaged by the Servicer, and
each Servicer and the Trustee shall cause each Servicing Function Participant
utilized by the Trustee or such Servicer, as applicable (or by any Subservicer
engaged by such Servicer), 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 Trustee shall make available to the
Depositor as part of the filing package forwarded to the Depositor for review
and verification), 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 pursuant to Section 3.23(a) 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 applicable Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable, as to the nature of any defaults by the applicable Servicer or
the
Trustee (and each Subservicer or Servicing Function Participant engaged or
utilized by any Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, or by any Subservicer
engaged by the Servicer), as the case may be, in the fulfillment of any of
the
Servicers’, the Trustee’s or the applicable Subservicer’s or Servicing Function
Participant’s obligations hereunder or under any applicable sub-servicing
agreement. None of the Servicers, the Trustee or any related Servicing Function
Participant shall be required to cause the delivery of any such attestation
required by this paragraph until March 10th
in any
given year, and the Servicing Function Participant shall not be required to
deliver any such assessment, so long as 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.
(c) Promptly
upon written request from the Depositor, each Servicer shall notify the Trustee
and the Depositor as to the name of each Subservicer engaged by it and each
Servicing Function Participant utilized by it, but only to the extent there
has
been a change in the information in such notification from notices previously
delivered and the Trustee shall notify the Depositor as to the name of each
Servicing 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 a Servicer
or the Trustee submits its assessment pursuant to Section 3.23(a), such
Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, will also at such time include the
assessment (and related attestation pursuant to Section 3.23(b)) of each
Servicing Function Participant utilized by it and by each Subservicer engaged
by
it.

to Section 7.02, in the event that any Servicer shall for any reason no
longer be a Servicer hereunder (including by reason of an Event of Default),
the
Trustee or its successor shall thereupon assume all of the rights and
obligations of such Servicer hereunder arising thereafter (except that the
Trustee shall not be (i) liable for losses of such predecessor servicer
pursuant to Section 3.10 or any acts or omissions of such predecessor
servicer hereunder), (ii) obligated to effectuate repurchases or
substitutions of Mortgage Loans hereunder, including but not limited to

Subservicing Agreement entered into by a Servicer shall contain a provision
giving the successor servicer the option to terminate such agreement in the
event a successor servicer is appointed.
(c) If

of
any Event of Default), the Trustee (or any other successor servicer) may, at
its
option, succeed to any rights and obligations of such Servicer under any
Subservicing Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof; provided
that the
Trustee (or any other successor servicer) shall not incur any liability or
have
any obligations in its capacity as successor servicer under a Subservicing
Agreement arising prior to the date of such succession unless it expressly
elects to succeed to the rights and obligations of such Servicer thereunder;
and
such Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations
under the Subservicing Agreement arising prior to the date of such
succession.
(d) The
applicable Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the expense
of
such Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating
to each Subservicing Agreement (if any) to which it is party and the Mortgage

amount of Scheduled Payments (with each interest portion thereof net of the
related Servicing Fee), due during the Due Period immediately preceding such
Remittance Date in respect of the Mortgage Loans serviced by such Servicer,
which Scheduled Payments were not received as of the close of business on the
related Determination Date (provided,
however,
that
with respect to any Balloon Loan that is delinquent on its maturity date, the
applicable Servicer will not be required to advance the principal portion of
the
related balloon payment but will be required to continue to make P&I

Balloon Loan in an amount equal to the assumed scheduled interest that would
otherwise be due based on the original amortization schedule for such Balloon

the
Trustee an amount equal to the aggregate amount of P&I Advances, if any, to
be made in respect of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties serviced by such
Servicer for the related Remittance Date either (i) from its own funds or
(ii) from the related Collection Account, to the extent of funds held
therein for future distribution (in which case, it will cause to be made an
appropriate entry in the records of the related Collection Account that Amounts
Held for Future Distribution have been, as permitted by this Section 4.01,
used by such Servicer in discharge of any such P&I Advance) or (iii) in

Percentage for the Group I Class A Certificates and the Group II Class A
Certificates, as applicable, for such Distribution Date; provided, however,
that

A Certificates in the other Class A Certificate Group remaining Outstanding,
in
accordance with the principal distribution allocations described in this Section

Certificates, until their Class Certificate Balance has been reduced to zero,
then to the Class A-2c Certificates, until their Class Certificate Balance
has
been reduced to zero and then to the Class A-2d Certificates, until their Class
Certificate Balance has been reduced to zero. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
on
and after the Distribution Date on which the aggregate Class Certificate
Balances of the Subordinated Certificates and the principal balance of the
Class
X Certificates have been reduced to zero, any principal distributions allocated
to the Group II Class A Certificates shall be allocated pro rata among the
Classes of Group II the Class A Certificates shall be allocated, pro rata among

aggregate expenses reimbursed to such Servicer during the prior distribution
period pursuant to Section 3.11; and
(ii) the
number and aggregate outstanding principal balances of Mortgage Loans
(a) delinquent 31 to 60 days, 61 to 90 days, 91 to 120 days, 121 to 150
days, 151 to 180 days, 181 to 210 days, 211 to 240 days and 240+ days;
(b) as to which foreclosure or bankruptcy proceedings of the related
mortgagor have commenced; and (c) as to which REO Property has been
acquired.
The
Trustee shall promptly forward the Servicer Remittance Report and the related
supplemental statement to the Depositor.
(e) For
all
purposes of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, delinquencies
shall be determined and reported by the Trustee, from information provided
by
each Servicer, based on the “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. Each Servicer hereby represents and warrants to the Depositor that such
Servicer is not subject to any delinquency recognition policy established by
the
primary safety and soundness regulator, if any, of the Servicer, that is more
restrictive than the foregoing delinquency recognition policy.
Section
4.04 Certain
Matters Relating to the Determination of LIBOR.
LIBOR
shall be calculated by the Trustee in accordance with the definition of “LIBOR”.
Until all of the Offered Certificates are paid in full, the Trustee shall at
all
times retain at least four Reference Banks for the purpose of determining LIBOR
with respect to each LIBOR Determination Date. The Trustee initially shall
designate the Reference Banks (after consultation with the Depositor). 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 (after consultation with the Depositor). 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.
The
Pass-Through Rate for each Class of Offered Certificates for each Interest
Accrual Period shall be determined by the Trustee on each LIBOR Determination
Date so long as the Offered Certificates are Outstanding on the basis of LIBOR
and the respective formulae appearing in footnotes corresponding to the Offered
Certificates in the table relating to the Certificates in the Preliminary
Statement. The Trustee shall not have any liability or responsibility to any
Person for its inability, following a good-faith reasonable effort, to obtain
quotations from the Reference Banks or to determine the arithmetic mean referred
to in the definition of LIBOR, all as provided for in this Section 4.04 and
the definition of LIBOR. The establishment of LIBOR and each Pass-Through Rate
for the Offered 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.
Section
4.05 Allocation
of Applied Realized Loss Amounts.
Any
Applied Realized Loss Amounts shall be allocated by the Trustee to the most
junior Class of Subordinated Certificates then Outstanding in reduction of
the
Class Certificate Balance thereof.
Section
4.06 Swap
Account.
On the
Closing Date, there is hereby established the Supplemental Interest Trust,
into
which the Depositor shall deposit the Interest Rate Swap Agreement. The
Supplemental Interest Trust shall be maintained by the Supplemental Interest
Trust Trustee. On the Closing Date, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee
shall establish and maintain in its name, a separate non-interest bearing trust
account for the benefit of the holders of the Certificates (the “Swap
Account”)
as a
part of the Trust Fund. The Swap Account shall be an Eligible Account, and
funds
on deposit therein shall be held separate and apart from, and shall not be
commingled with, any other moneys, including, without limitation, other moneys
of the Trustee held pursuant to this Agreement.
On
any
Distribution Date, Swap Termination Payments, Net Swap Payments owed to the
Swap
Provider and Net Swap Receipts for that Distribution Date will be deposited
into
the Swap Account. Funds in the Swap Account will be distributed in the following
order of priority:
(i) to
the
Swap Provider, all Net Swap Payments, if any, owed to the Swap Provider for
that
Distribution Date;
(ii) to
the
Swap Provider, any Swap Termination Payment, including, without limitation,
any
Senior Defaulted Swap Termination Payment but not including any other Defaulted
Swap Termination Payment owed to the Swap Provider for that Distribution
Date;
(iii) to
the
Class A Certificates, to pay Accrued Certificate Interest Distribution
Amounts and, if applicable, any Unpaid Interest Amounts as described in
Section 4.02(a)(i), to the extent unpaid from Available Funds;
(iv) sequentially,
to the Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class M-3, Class M-4,
Class M-5, Class M-6, Class B-1, Class B-2 and
Class B-3 Certificates, in that order, to pay Accrued Certificate Interest
Distribution Amounts and, if applicable, any Unpaid Interest Amounts as
described in Section 4.02(a)(i) and Section 4.02(a)(iii), to the
extent unpaid from Available Funds;
(v) to
the
Offered Certificates, to pay principal as described and, in the same manner
and
order of priority as set forth, in Section 4.02(a)(ii)(A) or
Section 4.02(a)(ii)(B), as applicable, but only to the extent necessary to
restore the Subordinated Amount to the Specified Subordinated Amount for prior
or current Realized Losses not previously reimbursed, after giving effect to
payments and distributions from Available Funds;
(vi) to
the
Class A Certificates, to pay Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts, pro
rata,
based
on their Class Certificate Balances for such Distribution Date, up to the Swap
Payment Allocation for each Class of Class A Certificates and to the extent
unpaid from Available Funds (including Basis Risk Payments on deposit in the
Excess Reserve Fund Account);
(vii) sequentially,
to the Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class M-3, Class M-4,
Class M-5, Class M-6, Class B-1, Class B-2 and
Class B-3 Certificates, to pay Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts, up to the
Swap Payment Allocation for each Class of Class M and Class B
Certificates and to the extent unpaid from Available Funds (including Basis
Risk
Payments on deposit in the Excess Reserve Fund Account);
(viii) to
the
Offered Certificates, any remaining unpaid Basis Risk CarryForward Amount,
pro
rata,
based
on their respective remaining unpaid Basis Risk CarryForward Amount after the
allocation of payments as set forth in clauses (vi) and (vii)
above;
(ix) sequentially,
to the Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class M-3, Class M-4,
Class M-5, Class M-6, Class B-1, Class B-2 and
Class B-3 Certificates, to pay any Unpaid Realized Loss Amount, to the
extent unpaid from Available Funds;
(x) to
the
Swap Provider, any remaining Defaulted Swap Termination Payment owed to the
Swap
Provider for that Distribution Date; and
(xi) to
the
holders of the Class X Certificates, any remaining amounts.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event that the Supplemental Interest Trust receives a
Swap
Termination Payment, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall use the
Swap
Termination Payment to enter into a replacement interest rate swap agreement
as
directed by the Depositor with a successor Swap Provider meeting the ratings
requirements set forth in the Interest Rate Swap Agreement being terminated
on
the same remaining terms as those in the Interest Rate Swap Agreement being
terminated, so long as the Swap Termination Payment is sufficient to obtain
such
replacement interest rate swap agreement. In the event that the Supplemental
Interest Trust receives a Swap Termination Payment and a successor Swap Provider
cannot be obtained, then the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall deposit
the Swap Termination Payment into the reserve account that is a sub-account
of
the Swap Account. On each subsequent Distribution Date (so long as funds are
available in the reserve account), the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee
shall
withdraw from the reserve account and deposit into the Swap Account an amount
equal to the amount of any Net Swap Receipt due the Supplemental Interest Trust
(calculated in accordance with the terms of the original Interest Rate Swap
Agreement) and treat such amount as a Net Swap Receipt for purposes of
determining the distributions from the Swap Account. In no event shall the
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee be responsible for the selection of any
successor or replacement Swap Provider or any shortfalls caused by a failure
to
enter into a replacement interest rate swap agreement.
Upon
termination of the Trust, any amounts remaining in the Swap Account shall be
distributed pursuant to the priorities set forth in this
Section 4.06.
In
the
event that, upon the Supplemental Interest Trust entering into a replacement
interest rate swap following the occurrence of an Additional Termination Event
of the type described in Part 1(h)(ii) of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement,
the Supplemental Interest Trust is entitled to receive a payment from a
replacement swap provider, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall direct
the replacement swap provider to make such payment to the Swap Account. Any
Senior Defaulted Swap Termination Payment shall be made from the Swap Account
to
the Swap Provider immediately upon receipt of such payment, regardless of
whether the date of receipt thereof is a Distribution Date. To the extent that
any Replacement Swap Provider Payment is made to an account other than the
Swap
Account, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, any Senior Defaulted Swap Termination Payment shall be paid to the
Swap Provider immediately upon receipt of such Replacement Swap Provider
Payment, regardless of whether the date of receipt thereof is a Distribution
Date and without regard to anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement.
For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the Swap Provider shall
have
first priority to any Replacement Swap Provider Payment over the payment by
the
Trust to Certificateholders, the Servicer, any Responsible Party, the Trustee
or
any other Person.
The
beneficial owners of the Swap Account are the Class X Certificateholders.
For federal income tax purposes, Net Swap Payments and Swap Termination Payments
payable to the Swap Provider shall be deemed to be paid to the Swap Account
from
REMIC III, first, by the Class IO Interest and second, other than any
Defaulted Swap Termination Payment, from REMIC III by the Holders of the
applicable Class or Classes of Offered Certificates (in respect of Class IO
Shortfalls) as and to the extent provided in Section 8.13.
Any
Basis
Risk CarryForward Amounts distributed by the Trustee to the Offered
Certificateholders shall be accounted for by the Trustee, for federal income
tax
purposes, as amounts paid first to the Holders of the Class X Certificates,
and then to the respective Class or Classes of Offered Certificates. In
addition, the Trustee shall account for the rights of Holders of each Class of
Offered Certificates to receive payments of Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts
from
the Swap Account (along with Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts payable from the
Excess Reserve Fund Account) as rights in a separate limited recourse interest
rate cap contract written by the Class X Certificateholders in favor of
Holders of each such Class.
The
Swap
Account shall be an “outside reserve fund” for federal income tax purposes and
not an asset of any Trust REMIC. Furthermore, the Holders of the Class X
Certificates shall be the beneficial owners of the Swap Account for all federal
income tax purposes, and shall be taxable on all income earned
thereon.
With
respect to the failure of the Swap Provider to perform any of its obligations
under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, the breach by the Swap Provider of
any
of its representations and warranties made pursuant to the Interest Rate Swap
Agreement, or the termination of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, the
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall send any notices and make any demands,
on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust as are required under the Interest
Rate Swap Agreement. To the extent that the Swap Provider fails to make any
payment required under terms of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, the
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall immediately demand that Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxx, the guarantor of the Swap Provider’s obligations under the guarantee of
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx relating to the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, make any and all
payments then required to be made by Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx pursuant to such guarantee.
In addition, in the event a “Delivery Amount” (as defined in the Interest Rate
Swap Agreement) was due but was not delivered by the Swap Provider as required
by the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee
shall deliver a notice of failure to transfer collateral on the next Business
Day following such failure, in accordance with the terms of the Interest Rate
Swap Agreement. The Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall cause any
replacement swap provider to provide a copy of the related replacement interest
rate swap agreement to the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee and the
Depositor.
ARTICLE
V
THE
CERTIFICATES
Section
5.01 The
Certificates.
The
Certificates shall be substantially in the forms attached hereto as exhibits.
The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form, in the minimum
denominations, integral multiples in excess thereof (except that one Certificate
in each Class may be issued in a different amount) and aggregate denominations
per Class set forth in the Preliminary Statement.
The
Depositor hereby directs the Trustee to register the Class X and Class P
Certificates in the name of the Depositor or its designee. On a date as to
which
the Depositor notifies the Trustee, the Trustee shall transfer the Class X
and Class P Certificates in the name of the NIM Trustee, or such other name
or names as the Depositor shall request, and to deliver the Class X and
Class P Certificates to the NIM Trustee or to such other Person or Persons
as the Depositor shall request.
Subject
to Section 9.02 respecting the final distribution on the Certificates, on
each Distribution Date the Trustee shall make distributions to each
Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either (x) by wire
transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a
bank
or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Holder has
so
notified the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the related Record
Date or (y) by check mailed by first class mail to such Certificateholder
at the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate
Register.
The
Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of
the
Trustee by an authorized officer. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile
signatures of individuals who were, at the time such signatures were affixed,
authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to be so
authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of any such Certificates
or
did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate. No Certificate shall
be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose,
unless authenticated by the Trustee by manual signature, and such authentication
upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that
such Certificate has been duly executed and delivered hereunder. All
Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication. On the Closing
Date, the Trustee shall authenticate the Certificates to be issued at the
direction of the Depositor, or any Affiliate thereof.
Section
5.02 Certificate
Register; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a)
The
Trustee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in accordance with the
provisions of Section 5.06, a Certificate Register for the Trust Fund in
which, subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) below
and to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall
provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges
of
Certificates as herein provided. Upon surrender for registration of transfer
of
any Certificate, the Trustee shall execute and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same
Class and aggregate Percentage Interest.
At
the
option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for other
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the
same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Certificates to be
exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee. Whenever any Certificates
are
so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate, and
deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is
entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration
of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the Holder thereof or
his
attorney duly authorized in writing.
No
service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any registration
of
transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required.
All
Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be
cancelled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with the
Trustee’s customary procedures.
(b) No
transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such transfer is made
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and
any
applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements
under said Act and such state securities laws. In determining whether a transfer
is being made pursuant to an effective registration statement, the Trustee
shall
be entitled to rely solely upon a written notice to such effect from the
Depositor. Except with respect to (i) the transfer of the Class X,
Class P or Class R Certificates to the Depositor or an Affiliate of
the Depositor, (ii) the transfer of the Class X or Class P
Certificates to the NIM Issuer or the NIM Trustee, or (iii) a transfer of
the Class X or Class P Certificates from the NIM Issuer or the NIM
Trustee to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor, in the event that
a
transfer of a Private Certificate which is a Physical Certificate is to be
made
in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in order
to
assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder
desiring to effect such transfer shall certify to the Trustee in writing the
facts surrounding the transfer in substantially the form set forth in
Exhibit H (the “Transferor
Certificate”)
and
either (i) there shall be delivered to the Trustee a letter in
substantially the form of Exhibit I (the “Rule 144A
Letter”)
or
(ii) there shall be delivered to the Trustee at the expense of the
transferor an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made without
registration under the Securities Act. In the event that a transfer of a Private
Certificate which is a Book-Entry Certificate is to be made in reliance upon
an
exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance
with the Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect
such transfer will be deemed to have made as of the transfer date each of the
certifications set forth in the Transferor Certificate in respect of such
Certificate and the transferee will be deemed to have made as of the transfer
date each of the certifications set forth in the Rule 144A Letter in
respect of such Certificate, in each case as if such Certificate were evidenced
by a Physical Certificate. The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a
Private Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any such
Holder, information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans
and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to
eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such
Certificate without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant
to
the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Trustee and the
Servicers shall cooperate with the Depositor in providing the Rule 144A
information referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to the
Depositor such information regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and
other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably request
to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Private
Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to,
indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor and each Servicer against any liability
that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance
with such federal and state laws.
Except
with respect to (i) the transfer of the Class R, Class X or Class P
Certificates to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the
transfer of the Class X or Class P Certificates to the NIM Issuer or
the NIM Trustee, or (iii) a transfer of the Class X or Class P
Certificates from the NIM Issuer or the NIM Trustee to the Depositor or an
Affiliate of the Depositor, no transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate
shall
be made unless the Trustee shall have received either (i) a representation
from the transferee of such Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trustee (in the event such Certificate is a Class P
Certificate or a Residual Certificate, such requirement is satisfied only by
the
Trustee’s receipt of a representation letter from the transferee substantially
in the form of Exhibit I), to the effect that such transferee is not an
employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA, a
plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan subject to any Federal,
state or local law (“Similar
Law”)
materially similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code, nor a
Person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement nor using the assets
of
any such plan or arrangement to effect such transfer, or (ii) in the case
of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate other than a Residual Certificate or a
Class P Certificate that has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying
Underwriting, and the purchaser is an insurance company, a representation that
the purchaser is an insurance company that is purchasing such Certificates
with
funds contained in an “insurance company general account” (as such term is
defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60
(“PTCE
95-60”))
and
that the purchase and holding of such Certificates are covered under PTCE 95-60
prior to termination of the Supplemental Interest Trust and Sections I and
III of PTCE 95-60 after termination of the Supplemental Interest Trust or
(iii) in the case of any such ERISA-Restricted Certificate other than a
Residual Certificate or Class P Certificate presented for registration in
the name of an employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a plan or
arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions
of any subsequent enactments), or a plan subject to Similar Law, or a trustee
of
any such plan or any other person acting on behalf of any such plan or
arrangement or using such plan’s or arrangement’s assets, an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to the Trustee, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense
of
the Servicers, the Depositor, the Trustee or the Trust Fund, addressed to the
Trustee, to the effect that the purchase or holding of such ERISA-Restricted
Certificate will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction
within the meaning of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Law
and will not subject the Depositor, the Trustee or the Servicers to any
obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement or to
any
liability. For purposes of the preceding sentence, with respect to an
ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is not a Class P Certificate or a Residual
Certificate, in the event the representation letter referred to in the preceding
sentence is not furnished, such representation shall be deemed to have been
made
to the Trustee by the transferee’s (including an initial acquirer’s) acceptance
of the ERISA-Restricted Certificates. Notwithstanding anything else to the
contrary herein, any purported transfer of a Class P Certificate or
Residual Certificate to a transferee that does not make the representation
in
clause (i) above shall be void and of no effect.
To
the
extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA),
the Trustee 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 5.02(b) or for making any payments due on such
Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to
such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer
was
registered by the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing
requirements.
Each
beneficial owner of a Certificate (other than an ERISA-Restricted Certificate)
or any interest therein shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its
acquisition or holding of the Certificate, or interest therein, that either
(i)
it is not a Plan or a trustee or other Person acting on behalf of a Plan or
using “plan assets” of a Plan to effect such acquisition (including any
insurance company using funds in its general or separate accounts that may
constitute “plan assets”) or (ii)(A) in the case of such a Certificate rated, at
the time of purchase, not lower than BBB- (or its equivalent) by a Rating
Agency, the beneficial owner is an accredited investor within the meaning of
Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2002-41, as amended from time to time (the
“Exemption”) and (B) for so long as the Supplemental Interest Trust is in
existence, the acquisition and holding of such Certificate and the separate
right to receive payments from the Supplemental Interest Trust are eligible
for
the exemptive relief available under Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption
(“PTCE”) 84-14 (for transactions by independent “qualified professional asset
managers”), 91-38 (for transactions by bank collective investment funds), 90-1
(for transactions by insurance company pooled separate accounts), 95-60 (for
transactions by insurance company general accounts) or 96-23 (for transactions
effected by “in-house asset managers”).
(c) Each
Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest
to
have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and the rights of each
Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly
subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trustee of any
change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee;
(ii) No
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be registered on the Closing
Date or thereafter transferred, and the Trustee shall not register the Transfer
of any Residual Certificate unless, in addition to the certificates required
to
be delivered to the Trustee under subparagraph (b) above, the Trustee
shall have been furnished with an affidavit (a “Transfer
Affidavit”)
of the
initial owner or the proposed transferee in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit G;
(iii) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any other Person to
whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any Person for whom
such Person is acting as nominee, trustee or agent in connection with any
Transfer of a Residual Certificate and (C) not to Transfer its Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate or to cause the Transfer of an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate to any other Person if it has actual
knowledge that such Person is a Non-Permitted Transferee;
(iv) Any
attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate in violation of the provisions of this
Section 5.02(c) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no
rights in the purported Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become
a
Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this
Section 5.02(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be
restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration
of Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall not have any
liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual
Certificate that is in fact not permitted by Section 5.02(b) and this
Section 5.02(c) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to
the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under
the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was registered after
receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit, Transferor Certificate and the
Rule 144A Letter. The Trustee shall be entitled but not obligated to
recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in fact a
Non-Permitted Transferee at the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent
time as it became a Non-Permitted Transferee, all payments made on such Residual
Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by
the
Trustee shall be paid and delivered by the Trustee to the last preceding
Permitted Transferee of such Certificate; and
(v) The
Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon receipt of written
request from the Trustee, all information necessary to compute any tax imposed
under Section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of a Transfer of an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Holder who is a Non-Permitted
Transferee.
The
restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in this
Section 5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of
the legend on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers
occurring after delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion
of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or the Trustee, to the
effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not cause any Trust REMIC
hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are
Outstanding or result in the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, a
Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person holding or acquiring any
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate hereby consents to any amendment
of
this Agreement which, based on an Opinion of Counsel furnished to the Trustee,
is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the record ownership of, or any
beneficial interest in, a Residual Certificate is not transferred, directly
or
indirectly, to a Person that is a Non-Permitted Transferee and (b) to
provide for a means to compel the Transfer of a Residual Certificate which
is
held by a Person that is a Non-Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a
Permitted Transferee.
(d) The
preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions referred to above
in
this Section 5.02 in connection with transfer shall be at the expense of
the parties to such transfers.
(e) Except
as
provided below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all times remain registered
in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all times:
(i) registration of the Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee
except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain book-entry
records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership
and
transfers of such Book-Entry Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of
registration of the Book-Entry Certificates on the books of the Depository
shall
be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository; (iv) the
Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from
its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee shall deal with the
Depository, Depository Participants and indirect participating firms as
representatives of the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates for
purposes of exercising the rights of holders under this Agreement, and requests
and directions for and votes of such representatives shall not be deemed to
be
inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners;
and
(vi) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon
information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository
Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to
indirect participating firms and persons shown on the books of such indirect
participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners.
All
transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in
accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or
brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant
shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents
or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the
Depository’s normal procedures.
If
(x) (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing
that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Trustee or the Depositor is
unable to locate a qualified successor, or (y) the Depositor notifies the
Depository (and the Trustee consents) of its intent to terminate the book-entry
system through the Depository and, upon receipt of notice of such intent from
the Depository, the Depository Participants holding beneficial interests in
the
Book-Entry Certificates agree to initiate such termination, the Trustee shall
notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of
any
such event and of the availability of definitive, fully registered Certificates
(the “Definitive
Certificates”)
to
Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the
related Class of Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by the instructions
from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive
Certificates. None of the Servicers, the Depositor or the Trustee shall be
liable for any delay in delivery of such instruction and each may conclusively
rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. The Depositor
shall provide the Trustee with an adequate inventory of Certificates to
facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive Certificates. Upon the
issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed
upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon
and
performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such
Definitive Certificates and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the

presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be
canceled and subsequently disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its
customary practice. No service charge shall be made for any registration of
transfer or exchange of Private Certificates, but the Trustee may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may
be
imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Private
Certificates.
Section
5.03 Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If
(a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee
receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of
any
Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Depositor, the Servicers and
the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold each
of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such
Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall
execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like
Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any
new
Certificate under this Section 5.03, the Trustee 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) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued
pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible
evidence of ownership, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen
or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
Section

from the Trustee, (b) state that such Certificateholders desire to
communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under
this Agreement or under the Certificates and (c) provide a copy of the
communication which such Certificateholders propose to transmit, or if the
Depositor or Servicer shall request such information in writing from the
Trustee, then the Trustee shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt
of
such request, provide the Depositor, such Servicer or the Certificateholders
at
such recipients’ expense the most recent list of the Certificateholders of such
Trust Fund held by the Trustee, if any. The Depositor and every
Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agree that the

information as to the list of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless
of
the source from which such information was derived.
Section

THE
DEPOSITOR AND THE SERVICERs
Section
6.01 Respective
Liabilities of the Depositor and the Servicers.
The
Depositor and each of the Servicers shall each be liable in accordance herewith
only to the extent of the obligations specifically and respectively imposed
upon
and undertaken by them herein.
Section
6.02 Merger
or Consolidation of the Depositor or a Servicer.
(a)
The
Depositor and each of the Servicers will each keep in full effect its existence,
rights and franchises as a corporation or federally chartered savings bank,
as
the case may be, under the laws of the United States or under the laws of one
of
the states thereof and will each obtain and preserve its qualification to do
business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform
its respective duties under this Agreement.
(b) Any
Person into which the Depositor or a Servicer may be merged or consolidated,
or
any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Depositor
or
a Servicer shall be a party, or any person succeeding to the business of the
Depositor or a Servicer, shall be the successor of the Depositor or such
Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of
any
paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided,
however,
that
the successor or surviving Person to such Servicer shall be qualified to service
mortgage loans on behalf of, Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac. As a condition to the
succession to any Servicer under this Agreement by any Person (i) into
which a Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be
appointed as a successor to a Servicer, such Servicer shall provide to the
Depositor, at least 15 calendar days prior to the effective date of such
succession or appointment, (x) written notice to the Depositor of such
succession or appointment and (y) in writing and in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all information reasonably necessary
to enable the Trustee, pursuant to Section 8.12(g), to accurately and
timely report the event under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the
Exchange Act (if such reports under the Exchange Act are then required to be
filed under the Exchange Act).
Section
6.03 Limitation
on Liability of the Depositor, the Servicers and Others.
Neither
the Depositor, the Servicers nor any of their respective directors, officers,
employees or agents shall be under any liability to the Certificateholders
for
any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith
pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided,
however,
that
this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Servicers or any such Person
against any breach of representations or warranties made by it herein or protect
the Depositor, the Servicers or any such Person from any liability which would
otherwise be imposed by reasons of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence
(or gross negligence in the case of the Depositor) in the performance of duties
or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The
Depositor, each Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Depositor and each Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind
prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters
arising hereunder. The
Depositor and its Affiliates, the Sponsor, each Servicer and any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Sponsor or each Servicer shall
be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability
or expense incurred in connection with any audit, controversy or judicial
proceeding relating to a governmental taxing authority or any legal action
relating to this Agreement or the Certificates other than any loss, liability
or
expense related to any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as
any
such loss, liability or expense relates to the origination of a Mortgage Loan
or
Mortgage Loans or shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement)
and any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance,
bad faith or negligence (or gross negligence in the case of the Depositor)
in
the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder.
Neither
the Depositor nor any Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in,
prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its respective
duties hereunder and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or
liability; provided,
however,
that
each of the Depositor and each Servicer may in its discretion undertake any
such
action (or direct the Trustee to undertake such actions pursuant to
Section 2.03 for the benefit of the Certificateholders) that it may deem
necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties
of
the parties hereto and interests of the Trustee and the Certificateholders
hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any
liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the
Trust Fund, and the Depositor and the applicable Servicer shall be entitled
to
be reimbursed therefor out of the applicable Collection Account.
Section
6.04 Limitation
on Resignation of a Servicer.
Subject
to Sections 7.01 and 10.07, no Servicer shall assign this Agreement or
resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual
consent of the Servicers, the Depositor and the Trustee or upon the
determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under
applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by such Servicer. Any such
determination permitting the resignation of a Servicer shall be evidenced by
an
Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee
which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the
Depositor and the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until
a
successor shall have assumed such Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations
hereunder.
Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 6.04 herein to the contrary, in the event that a
Servicer determines that it will no longer engage in the business of servicing
mortgage loans, such Servicer may assign its rights under this Agreement,
provided
that,
(i) the Depositor in its sole discretion has consented, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) the Rating Agencies’ ratings of the
Certificates in effect immediately prior to such action will not be qualified,
reduced or withdrawn as a result thereof (as evidenced by a letter to such
effect from the Rating Agencies) and (iii) such Servicer shall be liable
for all costs and expenses associated with the transfer of servicing,
provided,
further,
that
such Servicer shall indemnify and hold each of the Trust Fund, the Trustee,
the
Depositor, the other Servicers hereunder, any sub-servicer, the successor
servicer and each Certificateholder harmless against any and all claims, losses,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs,
judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that such party may sustain
in
any way related to such assignment except with respect to a successor servicer’s
failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement. No assignment by such
Servicer shall become effective until a successor servicer acceptable to the
Depositor and the Trustee shall have assumed in writing such Servicer’s
responsibilities, duties, liabilities (other than those liabilities arising
prior to the appointment of such successor) and obligations under this
Agreement. Any such assignment shall not relieve the applicable Servicer of
responsibility for any of the obligations specified herein except to the extent
that such responsibilities have been expressly assumed by the successor
servicer.
Section
6.05 Additional
Indemnification by the Servicers; Third Party Claims.
(a) Each
Servicer, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify the Responsible Party,
the
Depositor, the Sponsor and the Trustee and any director, officer, employee
or
agent of the Depositor, the Sponsor or the Trustee and hold them harmless
against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other
costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain in any way related to
(i) any breach by such Servicer of any of its representations and
warranties referred to in Section 2.03(a), (ii) any error in any tax
or information return prepared by such Servicer or (iii) the failure of
such Servicer to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in compliance
with the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the failure
to
deliver accurate and complete information on a timely basis pursuant to
Section 4.03(d)). The applicable Servicer immediately shall notify the
Depositor and the Trustee if such claim is made by a third party with respect
to
this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, assume (with the prior written consent
of
the Depositor and the Trustee) the defense of any such claim and pay all
expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, and
promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered
against it or the Depositor, the Responsible Party or the Trustee in respect
of
such claim.
(b) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each Servicer shall
indemnify the Depositor, the Sponsor, the Trustee and any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Depositor, the Sponsor or the Trustee and hold them
harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments,
and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain in any
way
related to any failure by such Servicer or any Subservicer engaged by such
Servicer or any Subcontractor utilized by such Servicer to deliver any
information, report, certification or accountants’ letter when and as required
under Sections 3.22, 3.23, 6.02 or 8.12, including without limitation any
failure by such Servicer to identify pursuant to Section 3.02(e) any
Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of
Item 1122 of Regulation AB.
(c) If
the
indemnification provided for in this Section 6.05 is unavailable or
insufficient to hold harmless any Person entitled to indemnification thereunder,
then such Servicer shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Person
entitled to indemnification as a result of the losses, claims, damages or
liabilities of such Person in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
the
relative fault of such Person on the one hand and such Servicer, on the other,
in connection with the Servicer’s obligations pursuant to this
Section 6.05. This Section 6.05 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement or the earlier resignation or removal
of each Servicer.

If
an
Event of Default described in clauses (a) through (g) of this
Section 7.01 shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as
such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, and at
the
written direction of a majority of the Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by
notice in writing to the applicable Servicer (with a copy to each Rating
Agency), terminate all of the rights and obligations of such Servicer under
this
Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans serviced by such Servicer and the
proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder;
provided,
however,
that
the Trustee shall not be required to give written notice to such Servicer of
the
occurrence of an Event of Default described in clauses (b) through (g)
of this Section 7.01 unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
has actual knowledge of the occurrence of such an event. In the event that
a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of the occurrence of
an
Event of Default described in clause (a) of this Section 7.01,
the Trustee shall give written notice to the applicable Servicer of the
occurrence of such an event within one Business Day of the first day on which
such Responsible Officer obtains actual knowledge of such occurrence;
provided,
that if
such failure is the failure to make a P&I Advance, the Trustee shall send
such notice prior to 12:00 noon, New York time, on the Distribution Date and,
if
the Event of Default of such Servicer was the failure to make a P&I Advance,
the Trustee, as successor servicer, shall make such P&I Advance on the
Distribution Date that such notice was delivered. On and after the receipt
by
such Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of such Servicer
hereunder, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass
to and be vested in the Trustee. Subject to Section 7.02, the Trustee is
hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of such
Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other
instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to
complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and
related documents, or otherwise. Unless expressly provided in such written
notice, no such termination shall affect any obligation of such Servicer to
pay
amounts owed pursuant to Article VIII. Such Servicer agrees to cooperate
with the Trustee in effecting the termination of such Servicer’s
responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the
transfer to the Trustee of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited
to the Collection Account of such predecessor servicer, or thereafter be
received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
Notwithstanding
any termination of the activities of a Servicer hereunder, such Servicer shall
be entitled to receive from the Trust Fund, prior to transfer of its servicing
obligations hereunder, payment of all accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees and
reimbursement for all outstanding P&I Advances and Servicing
Advances.
Section
7.02 Trustee
to Act; Appointment of Successor.
On and
after the time a Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to
Section 3.24 or Section 7.01, the Trustee shall, subject to and to the
extent provided in Section 3.05, be the successor to such servicer in its
capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or
provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties
and
liabilities relating thereto placed on such Servicer by the terms and provisions
hereof and applicable law including the obligation to make P&I Advances or
Servicing Advances pursuant to Section 3.24 or Section 7.01. As
compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all funds relating
to
the Mortgage Loans that such Servicer would have been entitled to charge to
its
Collection Account if such Servicer had continued to act hereunder including,
if
such Servicer was receiving the Servicing Fee, the Servicing Fee and the income
on investments or gain related to its Collection Account and the Distribution
Account which such Servicer would be entitled to receive (in addition to income
on investments or gain related to the Distribution Account for the benefit
of
the Trustee during the Trustee Float Period). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if
the Trustee has become the successor to such servicer in accordance with
Section 7.01, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or
shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law from making P&I Advances and
Servicing Advances pursuant to Section 4.01, if it is otherwise unable to
so act or at the written request of Certificateholders entitled to at least
a
majority of the Voting Rights, appoint, or petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution
the
appointment of which does not adversely affect the then current rating of the
Certificates by each Rating Agency, as the successor to such servicer hereunder
in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or
liabilities of such servicer hereunder. Any successor to such servicer shall
be
an institution which is a Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac approved servicer in good
standing, which has a net worth of at least $30,000,000, which is willing to
service the Mortgage Loans and which executes and delivers to the Depositor
and
the Trustee an agreement accepting such delegation and assignment, containing
an
assumption by such Person of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities,
obligations and liabilities of such terminated servicer (other than liabilities
of such terminated servicer under Section 6.03 incurred prior to
termination of such Servicer under Section 7.01), with like effect as if
originally named as a party to this Agreement; provided,
that
each Rating Agency acknowledges that its rating of the Certificates in effect
immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will not be qualified or
reduced, as a result of such assignment and delegation. Pending appointment
of a
successor to a servicer hereunder, the Trustee, unless the Trustee is prohibited
by law from so acting, shall, subject to Section 3.05, act in such capacity
as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption,
the
Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out
of
payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided,
however,
that no
such compensation shall be in excess of the Servicing Fee Rate and amounts
paid
to the predecessor servicer from investments. The Trustee and such successor
shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary
to
effectuate any such succession. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor
servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure
to
make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof
or any failure to perform, or any delay in performing, any duties or
responsibilities hereunder, in either case caused by the failure of the
predecessor servicer to deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or
providing, any cash, information, documents or records to it.
In
the
event that a Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section 7.01, such
terminated Servicer shall be responsible for the servicing transfer, provide
notices to the Mortgagors, arrange for and transfer the Servicing Files to
a
successor servicer, pay all of its own out-of-pocket costs and expenses at
its
own expense and pay all costs and expenses of all other parties hereto relating
to the transfer of the related Servicing Files to a successor servicer
(excluding set-up costs and other administrative expenses of the successor
servicer), and in all other cases the successor servicer shall pay for such
costs and expenses but shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor from
the
Trust Fund. Such amounts payable by the terminated Servicer shall be paid by
the
terminated Servicer promptly upon presentation of reasonable documentation
of
such costs. If the Trustee is the predecessor servicer (except in the case
where
the Trustee in its role as successor servicer is being terminated pursuant
to
Section 7.01 by reason of an Event of Default caused solely by the Trustee
as the successor servicer and not by the predecessor servicer’s actions or
omissions), such costs shall be paid by the prior terminated Servicer promptly
upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs.
Any
successor to a Servicer as servicer shall give notice to the Mortgagors of
such
change of servicer and shall, during the term of its service as servicer,
maintain in force the policy or policies that each Servicer is required to
maintain pursuant to Section 3.13.
Section
7.03 Notification
to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon
any termination of or appointment of a successor to a Servicer, the Trustee
shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders and to each
Rating Agency.
(b) Within
60
days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Trustee shall transmit
by
mail to all Certificateholders and each Rating Agency notice of each such Event
of Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such event shall have been
cured or waived.

CONCERNING
THE TRUSTEE
Section
8.01 Duties
of the Trustee.
The
Trustee, before the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing
of
all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform such
duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement.
In
case an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured, the Trustee shall
exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and
use
the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own
affairs.
The
Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions,
reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee that
are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement shall examine them to determine whether they are in the form required
by this Agreement. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or
content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document,
order, or other instrument.
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.
Unless
an
Event of Default known to the Trustee has occurred and is
continuing:
(a) the
duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express
provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the
performance of the duties and obligations specifically set forth in this
Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement
against the Trustee, and the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth
of
the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon
any
certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming on their face
to the requirements of this Agreement which it believed in good faith to be
genuine and to have been duly executed by the proper authorities respecting
any
matters arising hereunder;
(b) the
Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by
a
Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it is finally
proven that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
and
(c) the
Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered, or
omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of
the
Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of
Certificates relating 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.
(d) The
Trustee shall be permitted to utilize one or more Subcontractors for the
performance of certain of its obligations under this Agreement, provided that
the Trustee complies with Section 3.02(e) as if the Trustee were a
“Servicer” pursuant to that Section. The Trustee shall indemnify the Depositor,
the Sponsor and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or
the
Sponsor and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related
costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may
sustain in any way related to the failure of the Trustee to perform any of
its
obligations under Section 3.22 or Section 3.23, including without
limitation any failure by the Trustee to identify pursuant to
Section 3.02(e) any Subcontractor that is a Servicing Function Participant.
This indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the earlier
resignation or removal of the Trustee.

indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby.
Section
8.03 Trustee
Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The
recitals contained herein and in the Certificates shall be taken as the
statements of the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their
correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Agreement, the Interest Rate Swap Agreement or of the
Certificates or of any Mortgage Loan or related document other than with respect
to the Trustee’s execution and authentication of the Certificates. The Trustee

Trust
Fund or the Supplemental Interest Trust, as applicable.
Section
8.04 Trustee
May Own Certificates.
The
Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee
of Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it were not the

Section

As
compensation for its activities under this Agreement, the Trustee may withdraw
from the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date the Trustee Fee for
the
Distribution Date and any interest or investment income earned on funds
deposited in the Distribution Account during the Trustee Float Period. The
Trustee and any director, officer, employee, or agent of the Trustee shall
be
indemnified by the Trust Fund against any loss, liability, or expense (including
reasonable attorney’s fees) resulting from any error in any tax or information
return prepared by any Servicer or incurred in connection with any claim or
legal action relating to (a) this Agreement, (b) the Certificates or
the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, or (c) the performance of any of the
Trustee’s duties under this Agreement, the Certificates or the Interest Rate
Swap Agreement, other than any loss, liability, or expense (i) resulting
from any breach of any Servicer’s obligations in connection with this Agreement
for which the related Servicer has performed its obligation to indemnify the
Trustee pursuant to Section 6.05, (ii) resulting from any breach of
any Responsible Party’s obligations in connection with this Agreement for which
the related Responsible Party has performed its obligations to indemnify the
Trustee pursuant to Section 2.03(j) or (iii) incurred because of
willful misconduct, bad faith, or negligence in the performance of any of the
Trustee’s duties under this Agreement. This indemnity shall survive the
termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Trustee
under
this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, except as otherwise agreed
upon
in writing by the Depositor and the Trustee, and except for any expense,
disbursement, or advance arising from the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith, or
willful misconduct, the Trust Fund shall pay or reimburse the Trustee, for
all
reasonable expenses, disbursements, and advances incurred or made by the Trustee
in accordance with this Agreement with respect to:
(A) the
reasonable compensation, expenses, and disbursements of its counsel not
associated with the closing of the issuance of the Certificates,
and
(B) the
reasonable compensation, expenses, and disbursements of any accountant,
engineer, or appraiser that is not regularly employed by the Trustee, to the
extent that the Trustee must engage them to perform services under this
Agreement.
Except
as
otherwise provided in this Agreement or a separate letter agreement between
the
Trustee and the Depositor, the Trustee shall not be entitled to payment or
reimbursement for any routine ongoing expenses incurred by the Trustee in the
ordinary course of its duties as Trustee under this Agreement or for any other
expenses incurred by the Trustee; provided,
however,
that no
expense shall be reimbursed by the Trust Fund under this Agreement if it would
not constitute an “unanticipated expense incurred by the REMIC” within the
meaning of the REMIC Provisions.
Section
8.06 Eligibility
Requirements for the Trustee.
The
Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or association organized
and doing business under the laws of a state or the United States of America,
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authority and with a credit rating which would
not cause any of the Rating Agencies to reduce their respective then current
ratings of the Certificates (or having provided such security from time to
time
as is sufficient to avoid such reduction) as evidenced in writing by each Rating
Agency. If such corporation or association publishes reports of condition at
least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section 8.06 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or
association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth
in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with this Section 8.06,
the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified
in Section 8.07. The entity serving as Trustee may have normal banking and
trust relationships with the Depositor or the Servicers and their respective
Affiliates; provided,
however,
that
such entity cannot be an Affiliate of the Depositor or a Servicer other than
the
Trustee in its role as successor to a Servicer.
Section
8.07 Resignation
and Removal of the Trustee.
The
Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created
by giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor, the Servicers and
each
Rating Agency not less than 60 days before the date specified in such notice,
when, subject to Section 8.08, such resignation is to take effect, and
acceptance by a successor trustee in accordance with Section 8.08 meeting
the qualifications set forth in Section 8.06. If no successor trustee
meeting such qualifications shall have been so appointed and have accepted
appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice or resignation,
the
resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor trustee.
If
at any
time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with Section 8.06
and shall fail to resign after written request thereto by the Depositor, or
if
at any time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged
as bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall
be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee
or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation
or
liquidation, or a tax is imposed with respect to the Trust Fund by any state
in
which the Trustee or the Trust Fund is located and the imposition of such tax
would be avoided by the appointment of a different trustee, then the Depositor
may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument,
in
triplicate, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Trustee, one copy to
each Servicer and one copy to the successor trustee.
The
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least a majority of the Voting Rights
may
at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written
instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their
attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which shall be delivered
by the successor Trustee to each Servicer, one complete set to the Trustee
so
removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. The successor
trustee shall notify each Rating Agency of any removal of the
Trustee.
Any
resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee
pursuant to this Section 8.07 shall become effective upon acceptance of
appointment by the successor trustee as provided in
Section 8.08.
Section
8.08 Successor
Trustee.
Any
successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor trustee and
the
Servicers an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and thereupon
the
resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and
such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of
its
predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee
herein. The Depositor, the Servicers and the predecessor trustee shall execute
and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be
required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor
trustee all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations.
No
successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.08
unless at the time of its acceptance, the successor trustee is eligible under
Section 8.06 and its appointment does not adversely affect the then current
rating of the Certificates.
Upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this
Section 8.08, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such
trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates. If the Depositor fails to
mail
such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor
trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the
expense of the Depositor.
Section
8.09 Merger
or Consolidation of the Trustee.
Any
corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which
it
may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion
or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation
succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee
hereunder; provided,
that
such corporation shall be eligible under Section 8.06 without the execution
or filing of any paper or further act on the part of any of the parties hereto,
anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In connection with the
succession to the Trustee under this Agreement by any Person (i) into which
the Trustee may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be appointed
as a successor to the Trustee, the Trustee shall notify the Depositor of such
succession or appointment and shall furnish to the Depositor in writing and
in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all information
reasonably necessary for the Trustee to accurately and timely report, pursuant
to Section 8.12(g), the event under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K
pursuant to the Exchange Act (if such reports under the Exchange Act are
required to be filed under the Exchange Act).
Section
8.10 Appointment
of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any
part
of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the time be
located, the applicable Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have
the
power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more
Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly
with
the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of
the
Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for
the
benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any part
thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of this
Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the
applicable Servicer and the Trustee may consider appropriate. If any Servicer
shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt
by
such Servicer of a request to do so, or in the case an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to
make
such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required
to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06
and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or
separate trustee shall be required under Section 8.08.
Every
separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
conditions:
(a) To
the
extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Section 8.10, all
rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee,
except for the obligation of the Trustee under this Agreement to advance funds
on behalf of a Servicer, shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or
performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it
being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized
to
act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent
that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts
are
to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to a Servicer
hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such
act
or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including
the holding of title to the applicable Trust Fund or any portion thereof in
any
such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate
trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;
(b) No
trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable because of any act or omission
of any other trustee hereunder and such appointment shall not, and shall not
be
deemed to, constitute any such separate trustee or co-trustee as agent of the
Trustee;
(c) The
Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee
or co-trustee; and
(d) The
Trust
Fund, and not the Trustee, shall be liable for the payment of reasonable
compensation, reimbursement and indemnification to any such separate trustee
or
co-trustee.
Any
notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have
been given to each of the separate trustees and co-trustees, when and as
effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its
acceptance of the 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
thereof given to each Servicer and the Depositor.
Any
separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee its
agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not
prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement
on
its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die,
become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee.
Section
8.11 Tax
Matters.
It is
intended that the assets with respect to which any REMIC election pertaining
to
the Trust Fund is to be made, as set forth in the Preliminary Statement, shall
constitute, and that the conduct of matters relating to such assets shall be
such as to qualify such assets as, a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”
as defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of
such intention, the Trustee covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent
(and
the Trustee is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of each Trust REMIC
and that in such capacity it shall:
(a) prepare
and file in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit
(REMIC) Income Tax Return (Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by the
Internal Revenue Service) and prepare and file with the Internal Revenue Service
and applicable state or local tax authorities income tax or information returns
for each taxable year with respect to each Trust REMIC containing such
information and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code
or
state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and furnish to
Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such times and
in
such manner as may be required thereby;
(b) within
thirty days of the Closing Date, apply for an employer identification number
from the Internal Revenue Service via Form SS-4 or any other acceptable
method for all tax entities and shall also furnish to the Internal Revenue
Service, on Form 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the
name, title, address, and telephone number of the person that the Holders of
the
Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto, together with
such additional information as may be required by such Form, and update such
information at the time or times in the manner required by the
Code;
(c) make
an
election that each Trust REMIC be treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return
for its first taxable year (and, if necessary, under applicable state
law);
(d) prepare
and forward to the Certificateholders and to the Internal Revenue Service and,
if necessary, state tax authorities, all information returns and reports as
and
when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions,
including the calculation of any original issue discount using the prepayment
assumption (as described in the Prospectus Supplement);
(e) provide
information necessary for the computation of tax imposed on the Transfer of
a
Residual Certificate to a Person that is a Non-Permitted Transferee, or an
agent
(including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a Non-Permitted Transferee,
or a pass-through entity in which a Non-Permitted Transferee is the record
holder of an interest (the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such
information may be charged to the Person liable for such tax);
(f) to
the
extent that they are under its control, conduct matters relating to such assets
at all times that any Certificates are Outstanding so as to maintain the status
of each Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions;
(g) not
knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that
would
cause the termination of the REMIC status of any Trust REMIC created
hereunder;
(h) pay,
from
the sources specified in the last paragraph of this Section 8.11, the
amount of any federal or state tax, including prohibited transaction taxes
as
described below, imposed on any Trust REMIC created hereunder before its
termination when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation
shall not prevent the Trustee or any other appropriate Person from contesting
any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Trustee from
withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of
such proceedings);
(i) cause
federal, state or local income tax or information returns to be signed by the
Trustee or such other Person as may be required to sign such returns by the
Code
or state or local laws, regulations or rules; and
(j) maintain
records relating to each Trust REMIC created hereunder, including the income,
expenses, assets, and liabilities thereof on a calendar year basis and on the
accrual method of accounting and the fair market value and adjusted basis of
the
assets determined at such intervals as may be required by the Code, as may
be
necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or
information.
The
Holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Class R Certificates shall
act as Tax Matters Person for each Trust REMIC, within the meaning of Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d), and the Trustee is hereby designated as
agent of such Certificateholder for such purpose (or if the Trustee is not
so
permitted, such Holder shall be the Tax Matters Person in accordance with the
REMIC Provisions). In such capacity, the Trustee shall, as and when necessary
and appropriate, represent each Trust REMIC created hereunder in any
administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit
by
any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as
to
any taxable year of each Trust REMIC created hereunder, enter into settlement
agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of
limitations relating to any tax item of each Trust REMIC created hereunder,
and
otherwise act on behalf of each Trust REMIC in relation to any tax matter or
controversy involving it.
To
enable
the Trustee to perform its duties under this Agreement, the Depositor shall
provide to the Trustee within ten days after the Closing Date all information
or
data that the Trustee requests in writing and determines to be relevant for
tax
purposes to the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including
the price, yield, prepayment assumption, and projected cash flows of the
Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Moreover, the Depositor shall provide
information to the Trustee concerning the value, if any, to each Class of
Certificates of the right to receive Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts from the
Excess Reserve Fund Account and Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts from the Swap
Account. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide to the Trustee promptly upon
written request therefor any additional information or data that the Trustee
may, from time to time, reasonably request to enable the Trustee to perform
its
duties under this Agreement; provided,
however,
that
the Depositor shall not be required to provide any information regarding the
Mortgage Loans that the Servicer is required to provide to the Trustee pursuant
to this Agreement. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the Trustee for any losses,
liabilities, damages, claims, or expenses of the Trustee arising from any errors
or miscalculations of the Trustee that result from any failure of the Depositor
to provide pursuant to this paragraph accurate information or data to the
Trustee on a timely basis.
Neither
the Servicers nor the Trustee shall (i) permit the creation of any interests
in
any Trust REMIC other than the regular and residual interests set forth in
the
Preliminary Statement, (ii) receive any amount representing a fee or other
compensation for services (except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement
or
the related Mortgage Loan documents) or (iii) otherwise knowingly or
intentionally take any action, cause the Trust Fund to take any action or fail
to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably within its control
and the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein, that, under the
REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could
(i) endanger the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result
in the imposition of a tax upon any Trust REMIC or the Trust Fund (including
but
not limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in
Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set
forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code, or the tax on “net income from
foreclosure property”) unless the Trustee receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the
expense of the party seeking to take such action or, if such party fails to
pay
such expense, at the expense of the Trust Fund, but in no event at the expense
of the Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with
respect to the Trust Fund, any Trust REMIC created hereunder, endanger such
status or result in the imposition of such a tax).
If
any
tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of any Trust REMIC as defined in
Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net income from foreclosure
property” of REMIC I as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any
contribution to any Trust REMIC after the Start-up Day pursuant to
Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, including, if
applicable, any minimum tax imposed on any Trust REMIC pursuant to
Sections 23153 and 24874 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, if
not paid as otherwise provided for herein, the tax shall be paid by (i) the
Trustee if such tax arises out of or results from negligence of the Trustee
in
the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the
applicable Servicer and the Responsible Party, jointly, in the case of any
such
minimum tax, and the Servicer if such tax arises out of or results from a breach
by such Servicer of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (iii) the
Responsible Party if such tax arises out of or results from the Responsible
Party’s obligation to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.03,
or (iv) in all other cases, or if the Trustee, the applicable Servicer or
the Responsible Party fails to honor its obligations under the preceding
clause (i), (ii), or (iii), any such tax will be paid with amounts
otherwise to be distributed to the Certificateholders, as provided in
Section 4.02(a).
Section

Trustee and each Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor in
connection with the reporting requirements of the Trust under the Exchange

best efforts to file such Form 10 D no later than the filing deadline for such
Form 10-D)) on any date 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

on Exhibit Q hereto and provided to the Trustee in XXXXX-compatible form at
the
email address for the Trustee set forth in Section 10.05, using Exhibit V,
and
the Trustee shall compile such disclosure pursuant to the following paragraph.
As used in this Agreement, XXXXX-compatible form means an electronic information
storage format acceptable to the Trustee and the party providing such
information. The Trustee will have no duty or liability for any failure
hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure,
except as set forth in the next paragraph.
As
set
forth on Exhibit Q hereto, within 5 calendar days after the related
Distribution Date, certain parties to this Agreement shall be required to

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 8.12(f)(ii). The signing party at the Depositor can be
contacted at the Depositor’s address for notices set forth in
Section 10.5(b)(ii)(a), 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 8.12(b)
related to the timely preparation and filing of Form 10-D is contingent, in
part, upon each Servicer and the Depositor and any other Person obligated to
provide Additional Form 10-D Disclosure as set forth on Exhibit Q hereto
observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under
this
Section 8.12(b). 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 (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) No
later
than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) (so long as the Trustee has received
from
the Depositor the executed Form 10 K no later than noon (Eastern Standard Time)
on the preceding Business Day (or otherwise, the Trustee shall utilize
reasonable best efforts to file such Form 10 K no later than the filing deadline
for such Form 10 K)) on any date 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
each Servicer and each Subservicer engaged by any Servicer and the Trustee,
as
described under Section 3.22, (ii)(A) the annual reports on assessment of
compliance with servicing criteria for the Trustee, the Servicers, each
Subservicer engaged by any Servicer and each Servicing Function Participant
utilized by the Servicer or the Trustee, as described under Section 3.23,
and (B) if any such report on assessment of compliance with servicing
criteria described under Section 3.23 identifies any material instance of
noncompliance, disclosure identifying such instance of noncompliance, or such
report on assessment of compliance with servicing criteria described under
Section 3.23 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, each Servicer, each Subservicer engaged by a Servicer
and each Servicing Function Participant utilized by a Servicer or the Trustee,
as described under Section 3.23, and (B) if any registered public
accounting firm attestation report described under Section 3.23 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 the party responsible for preparing such disclosure as set forth
on Exhibit X hereto, and provided to the Trustee in XXXXX-compatible form at
the
email address for the Trustee set forth in Section 10.05, using Exhibit V,
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.
As
set
forth on Exhibit R hereto, no later than March 1st of each year (or, in the
case of the Servicers, March 5th of each year) that the Trust is subject to
the
Exchange Act reporting requirements, commencing in 2007, 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-K
Disclosure, if applicable. The Trustee shall compile all such information
provided to it in a Form 10-K prepared by it.
The
Trustee shall prepare and forward electronically a draft copy of the
Form 10-K to the Depositor sufficiently far in advance of, but in no event
less than five (5) Business Days prior to, when the Depositor is required to
execute such Form 10-K to permit the Depositor to review, verify and execute
such Form 10-K. 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 8.12(f)(ii). The signing party at the Depositor can be
contacted at the Depositor’s address for notices set forth in Section
10.5(b)(ii)(a), or such other address as to which the Depositor has provided
prior written notice to the Trustee. The Depositor and each Servicer acknowledge
that the performance by the Trustee of its duties under this
Section 8.12(c) related to the timely preparation and filing of
Form 10-K is contingent, in part, upon each Servicer (and any Subservicer
or Servicing Function Participant engaged by a Servicer) and the Depositor
and
any other Person obligated to provide Additional Form 10-K Disclosure as set
forth on Exhibit R hereto, observing all applicable deadlines in the performance
of their duties under this Section 8.12(c), Section 8.12(d),
Section 3.22 and Section 3.23. 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 or signature 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 each Servicer shall sign a certification solely with respect
to
such Servicer (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N, 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 8.12(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 any 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, (i) 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 8.12(d) or any material misstatement or
material omission contained in any information, report, certification,
accountants’ letter or other material provided in written or electronic form
pursuant to Sections 3.23 and 8.12 of this Agreement and Exhibits Q, R and
S to this Agreement provided by or on behalf of the Trustee or any Subcontractor
utilized by 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), negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection
therewith, and (ii) each Servicer, severally and not jointly, shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Sponsor, the Trustee and their
respective 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 applicable Servicer’s obligations
under this Section 8.12(d) or any material misstatement or material
omission, negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Servicer in
connection therewith. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable
or insufficient to hold harmless any indemnified party, then (i) the
Trustee agrees in connection with a breach of the Trustee’s obligations under
this Section 8.12(d) or any material misstatement or material omission
contained in any information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or
other material provided in written or electronic form pursuant to
Sections 3.23 and 8.12 of this Agreement and Exhibits T, U and V to this
Agreement provided by or on behalf of the Trustee or any Subcontractor utilized
by 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), negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct 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 and (ii) each Servicer agrees that it shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages or liabilities of such indemnified party in such proportion
as
is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such indemnified party, on
the
one hand, and such Servicer, on the other hand, in connection with a breach
of
the Servicers’ obligations under this Section 8.12(d) or any material
misstatement or material omission, negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct
of such Servicer in connection therewith.
(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 8.12 and
the parties hereto shall again have the obligations set forth in this
Section.
(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
Servicers. In the case of Form 10-D and 10-K, the Depositor, Servicers and
Trustee will thereupon cooperate to prepare and file a Form 12b-25 and a
10-D/A and 10-K/A 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 Servicers and such
parties will cooperate to prepare any necessary Form 8-K/A, 10-D/A or
10-K/A. 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 and Servicers
acknowledge that the performance by the Trustee of its duties under this
Section 8.12(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 Servicers and the Depositor observing all applicable
deadlines (and the related grace periods thereto) in the performance of their
duties under this Section 8.12 and Sections 3.22 and 3.23. 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 any party hereto
(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) No
later
than 3:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) (so long as the Trustee has received
from
the Depositor the executed Form 8-K no later than 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard
Time) on the 3rd Business Day after the Reportable Event (as defined below)
(or
otherwise, the Trustee shall utilize reasonable best efforts to file such Form
8-K no later than the filing deadline for such Form 8-K)) on any date 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 S 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 S hereto, for so long as the Trust is subject to the Exchange
Act reporting requirements, no later than noon (Eastern Standard Time) on the
2nd Business Day after the occurrence of a Reportable Event certain parties
to
this 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. The Trustee shall compile all such information
provided to it in a Form 8-K prepared by it.
The
Trustee shall prepare and forward electronically a draft copy of the
Form 8-K to the Depositor sufficiently far in advance of, but in no event
later than noon (Eastern Standard Time) on the 3rd Business Day after a
Reportable Event, when the Depositor is required to execute such Form 8-K to
permit the Depositor to review, verify and execute such Form 8-K. 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 previously filed Form 8-K needs to be
amended, the Trustee will follow the procedures set forth in
Section 8.12(f)(ii). The signing party at the Depositor can be contacted at
the Depositor’s address for notices set forth in Section 10.5(b)(ii)(a), 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 8.12(g) related to the timely preparation and
filing of Form 8-K is contingent, in part, upon each Servicer and the
Depositor and any other Person obligated to provide Form 8-K Disclosure
Information as set forth on Exhibit S hereto, providing such information to
the
Trustee in XXXXX-compatible form at the email address for the Trustee set forth
in Section 10.05, using Exhibit V, observing all applicable deadlines in the
performance of their duties under this Section 8.12(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 or signature
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 8.12, 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 8.12, in either case, not
resulting from the Trustee’s own negligence, bad faith or
misconduct.
Section
8.13 Tax
Treatment of Swap Payments and Swap Termination Payments.
For
federal income tax purposes, each holder of a Class A Certificate, Class M
Certificate and Class B Certificate is deemed to own an undivided beneficial
ownership interest in a REMIC regular interest and the right to receive payments
from either the Excess Reserve Fund or the Swap Account in respect of any Basis
Risk CarryForward Amounts or the obligation to make payments to the Swap
Account. For federal income tax purposes, the Trustee will account for payments
to each Class A Certificate, Class M Certificate and Class B Certificate as
follows: each Class A Certificate, Class M Certificate and Class B Certificate
will be treated as receiving their entire payment from REMIC III (regardless
of
any Swap Termination Payment or obligation under the Interest Rate Swap
Agreement) and subsequently paying their portion of any Swap Termination Payment
in respect of each such Class’ obligation under the Interest Rate Swap
Agreement. In the event that any such Class is resecuritized in a REMIC, the
obligation under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement to pay any such Swap
Termination Payment (or any shortfall in Net Swap Payment), will be made by
one
or more of the REMIC Regular Interests issued by the resecuritization REMIC
subsequent to such REMIC Regular Interest receiving its full payment from any
such Class A Certificate, Class M Certificate or Class B
Certificate.
The
REMIC
Regular Interest corresponding to a Class A Certificate, Class M Certificate
or
Class B Certificate will be entitled to receive interest and principal payments
at the times and in the amounts equal to those made on the certificate to which
it corresponds, except that (i) the maximum interest rate of that REMIC regular
interest will equal the Group I Loan Cap, Group II Loan Cap or WAC Cap, as
applicable, computed for this purpose by limiting the notional amount of the
Interest Rate Swap Agreement to the Pool Stated Principal Balance and (ii)
any
Swap Termination Payment will be treated as being payable solely from amounts
otherwise payable to the Class X Certificates. As a result of the foregoing,
the
amount of distributions and taxable income on the REMIC Regular Interest
corresponding to a Class A Certificate, Class M Certificate and Class B
Certificate may exceed the actual amount of distributions on the Class A
Certificates, Class M Certificates and Class B Certificates.
Section
8.14 Distributions
on the REMIC Regular Interests.
The
Trustee shall elect that each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III shall be
treated as a REMIC under Section 860D of the Code. 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.
The
REMIC I Regular Interests shall constitute the assets of REMIC II. The REMIC
II
Regular Interests shall constitute the assets of REMIC III.

in
an amount equal to (A) Uncertificated Accrued Interest for such REMIC I Regular
Interests for such Distribution Date, plus (B) any amounts payable in respect
thereof remaining unpaid from previous Distribution Dates;
(ii) to
the
extent of amounts remaining after the distributions made pursuant to clause
(i)
above, payments of principal shall be allocated as follows: to REMIC I Regular
Interest I, then to REMIC I Regular Interests I-1-A through I-55-B starting
with
the lowest numerical denomination until the Uncertificated Principal Balance
of
each such REMIC I Regular Interest is reduced to zero, provided that, for REMIC
I Regular Interests with the same numerical denomination, such payments of
principal shall be allocated pro rata between such REMIC I Regular Interests;
and
(iii) to
the
Holders of REMIC I Regular Interest P, (A) on each Distribution Date, 100%
of
the amount paid in respect of Prepayment Charges and (B) if such Distribution
Date follows the Prepayment Period during which occurs the latest date on which
a Prepayment Charge may be required to be paid in respect of any Mortgage Loan,
until $100 has been distributed pursuant to this clause.
(b) On
each
Distribution Date, the following amounts, in the following order of priority

from the Distribution Account and distributed to the Holders of the Class R-I
Interest, as the case may be:

II-1-A through II-55-B, pro rata, in an amount equal to (A) Uncertificated
Accrued Interest for such REMIC I Regular Interests for such Distribution Date,
plus (B) any amounts payable in respect thereof remaining unpaid from previous

Interest II, then to REMIC I Regular interests II-1-A through II-55-B starting
with the lowest numerical denomination until the Uncertificated Principal
Balance of each such REMIC I Regular Interest is reduced to zero, provided
that,

payments of principal shall be allocated on a pro
rata
basis
between such REMIC I Regular Interests.
(c) On
each
Distribution Date, the following amounts, in the following order of priority
and
in accordance with the Servicer Remittance Report, shall be distributed by
REMIC

rata
basis,
in an amount equal to (A) the Uncertificated Accrued Interest for each such
REMIC II Regular Interest for such Distribution Date, plus (B) any amounts
in
respect thereof remaining unpaid from previous Distribution Dates. Amounts
payable as Uncertificated Accrued Interest in respect of REMIC II Regular
Interest LT-ZZ shall be reduced and deferred when the REMIC II
Overcollateralization Amount is less than the REMIC II Targeted
Overcollateralization Amount, by the lesser of (x) the amount of such difference

such
amount;
(ii) second,
to the Holders of REMIC II Regular Interests, in an amount equal to the
remainder of the REMIC II Marker Allocation Percentage of the Interest
Remittance Amount and the Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution

Holders of REMIC II Regular Interest LT-AA and REMIC II Regular Interest LT-P,
until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC II Regular Interest

Servicers, the Responsible Party and the Trustee created hereby with respect
to
the Trust Fund shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the purchase, on or
after the Optional Termination Date by HomEq, of all Mortgage Loans (and REO
Properties) at the price equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the unpaid
principal balance of each Mortgage Loan (other than in respect of REO Property)
plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate,
(ii) the lesser of (x) the appraised value of any REO Property as
determined by the higher of two appraisals completed by two independent
appraisers selected by HomEq at the expense of HomEq, plus accrued and unpaid
interest on each Mortgage Loan at the applicable Mortgage Rate and (y) the
unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage Loan related to any REO Property,
in
each case plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage
Rate, and (iii) any Swap Termination Payment owed to the Swap Provider
pursuant to the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, and (b) the later of
(i) the maturity or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto)
of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of
all
REO Property and (ii) the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts
required to be distributed to them pursuant to this Agreement. In no event
shall
the trusts created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from
the death of the 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.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, no such purchase shall be permitted
unless (i) after distribution of the proceeds thereof to the
Certificateholders (other than the Holders of the Class X, Class P and
Residual Certificates) pursuant to Section 9.02, the distribution of the
remaining proceeds to the Class X and Class P Certificates is
sufficient to pay the outstanding principal amount of and accrued and unpaid
interest on the NIM Securities, to the extent the NIM Securities are then
outstanding, or (ii) prior to such purchase, HomEq shall have deposited in
the related Collection Account an amount to be remitted to the NIM Trustee
that,
together with such remaining proceeds, will be sufficient to pay the outstanding
principal amount of and accrued and unpaid interest on the NIM Securities,
to
the extent the NIM Securities are then outstanding.
Section
9.02 Final
Distribution on the Certificates.
If on
any Remittance Date, HomEq determines that there are no Outstanding Mortgage
Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund other than the funds in
the
Collection Accounts, HomEq shall direct the Trustee promptly to send a Notice
of
Final Distribution to each Certificateholder and the Swap Provider. If HomEq
elects to terminate the Trust Fund pursuant to clause (a) of
Section 9.01, HomEq shall notify, by the 25th
day of
the month preceding the month of the final distribution, HomEq shall notify
the
Depositor and the Trustee of the date HomEq intends to terminate the Trust
Fund
and of the applicable repurchase price of the Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties.
A
Notice
of Final Distribution, specifying the Distribution Date on which
Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates for payment of the final
distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee by letter
to Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 10th day and not later than
the 15th day of the month of such final distribution. Any such Notice of Final
Distribution shall specify (a) the Distribution Date upon which final
distribution on the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender
of
Certificates at the office therein designated, (b) the amount of such final
distribution, (c) the location of the office or agency at which such
presentation and surrender must be made, and (d) that the Record Date
otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions
being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the
office therein specified. The Trustee will give such Notice of Final
Distribution to each Rating Agency at the time such Notice of Final Distribution
is given to Certificateholders.
In
the
event such Notice of Final Distribution is given, HomEq shall cause all funds
in
its Collection Account to be remitted to the Trustee for deposit in the
Distribution Account on the Business Day prior to the applicable Distribution
Date in an amount equal to the final distribution in respect of the
Certificates. Upon such final deposit with respect to the Trust Fund and the
receipt by the Trustee of a Request for Release therefor, the Trustee shall
promptly release to HomEq, the Custodial Files for the Mortgage
Loans.
Upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall cause to
be
distributed to the Certificateholders of each Class (after reimbursement of
all
amounts due to HomEq, the Depositor and the Trustee hereunder), in each case
on
the final Distribution Date and in the order set forth in Section 4.02, in
proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, with respect to
Certificateholders of the same Class, up to an amount equal to (i) as to
each Class of Regular Certificates (except the Class X Certificates), the
Certificate Balance thereof plus for each such Class and the Class X
Certificates accrued interest thereon in the case of an interest-bearing
Certificate and all other amounts to which such Classes are entitled pursuant
to
Section 4.02 and (ii) as to the Residual Certificates, the amount, if
any, which remains on deposit in the Distribution Account (other than the
amounts retained to meet claims) after application pursuant to
clause (i) above.
In
the
event that any affected Certificateholders shall not surrender Certificates
for
cancellation within six months after the date 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 six months after the
second notice all the applicable Certificates shall not have been surrendered
for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an
agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders
concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid
out of the funds and other assets which remain a part of the Trust Fund. If
within one year after the second notice all Certificates shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Class R Certificateholders shall be
entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets of the Trust Fund which remain
subject hereto.
Section
9.03 Additional
Termination Requirements. In
the event HomEq exercises its purchase option with respect to the Mortgage
Loans
as provided in Section 9.01, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in
accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee has
been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense HomEq, to the effect
that the failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 9.03 will
not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” on
any Trust REMIC as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or (ii) cause
any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates
are Outstanding:
(a) The
Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Fund to HomEq, and, by no
later than the next Distribution Date after such sale, shall distribute to
the
Certificateholders the proceeds of such sale in complete liquidation of each
Trust REMIC; and
(b) The
Trustee shall attach a statement to the final federal income tax return for
each
Trust REMIC stating that pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-1,
the first day of the 90-day liquidation period for each such Trust REMIC was
the
date on which the Trustee sold the assets of the Trust Fund to
HomEq.

respect the interests of any Certificateholder; and provided,
further,
that
any such amendment pursuant to clause (iv) or (v) above shall not
be deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the
Certificateholders if the Person requesting the amendment obtains a letter
from
each Rating Agency stating that the amendment would not result in the
downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the
Certificates; it being understood and agreed that any such letter in and of
itself will not represent a determination as to the materiality of any such
amendment and will represent a determination only as to the credit issues
affecting any such rating. The Trustee, the Depositor, the Responsible Party
and
the Servicers also may at any time and from time to time amend this Agreement,
but without the consent of the Certificateholders to modify, eliminate or add
to
any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or helpful to
(i) maintain the qualification of each Trust REMIC under the Code,
(ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on any Trust

necessary or helpful to, as applicable, (i) maintain such qualification,
(ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of such a tax or
(iii) comply with any such requirements of the Code.

Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than
662/3%
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 of

or
(iii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Certificates the Holders of which
are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the
Holders of all such Certificates then Outstanding.

any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not consent to
any
amendment to this Agreement unless (i) it shall have first received an
Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee or
the
Trust Fund, to the effect that such amendment will not cause the imposition
of
any tax on any Trust REMIC or the Certificateholders or cause any such Trust
REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or the grantor trust to fail to qualify
as a
grantor trust at any time that any Certificates are Outstanding and

the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.01, with respect to any
amendment that significantly modifies the permitted activities of the Trustee
or
the Servicers, any Certificate beneficially owned by the Depositor shall be
deemed not to be Outstanding (and shall not be considered when determining
the
percentage of Certificateholders consenting or when calculating the total number
of Certificates entitled to consent) for purposes of determining if the
requisite consents of Certificateholders under this Section 10.01 have been
obtained.
Promptly
after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement requiring the consent
of
Certificateholders, the Trustee shall furnish written notification of the
substance or a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder and each Rating
Agency.
It
shall
not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this
Section 10.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but
it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.
The
manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
Nothing
in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to enter into an amendment without
receiving an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion shall not be an expense of the
Trustee or the Trust Fund), satisfactory to the Trustee that (i) such
amendment is permitted and is not prohibited by this Agreement and that all
requirements for amending this Agreement have been complied with (including
the
obtaining of any required consents); and (ii) either (A) the amendment
does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder or (B) the conclusion set forth in the immediately
preceding clause (A) is not required to be reached pursuant to this
Section 10.01.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any amendment to this Agreement shall require the prior written
consent of the Swap Provider if such amendment materially and adversely affects

property records in all the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which
any or all of the Mortgaged Properties are situated, and in any other
appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be

and
for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number

Section
10.04 Intention
of Parties.
It is
the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance (i) of the
Mortgage Loans by the Depositor and (ii) of the Trust Fund by the Depositor
to the Trustee each be, and be construed as, an absolute sale thereof. It is,
further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyances be deemed a
pledge thereof. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the
parties, such assets are held to be the property of the Depositor, as the case
may be, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create
a
security interest in either such assets, then (i) this Agreement shall be
deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial
Code of the State of New York and (ii) the conveyances provided for in this
Agreement shall be deemed to be an assignment and a grant by the Depositor
to
the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, of a security interest
in all of the assets transferred, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired.
The
Depositor, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, shall, to the extent
consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure
that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Trust
Fund, 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 the Agreement. The Depositor shall arrange for filing any Uniform
Commercial Code continuation statements in connection with any security interest
granted or assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders.

Section
10.06 Severability
of Provisions.
If any
one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement
shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants,
agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no
way
affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement
or of the Certificates or the rights of the Holders thereof.
Section
10.07 Assignment;
Sales; Advance Facilities.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as provided
in
Section 6.04, this Agreement may not be assigned by any Servicer without
the prior written consent of the Trustee and the Depositor; provided,
however,
each
Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into an Advance Facility under which
(l) such Servicer sells, assigns or pledges to an Advancing Person the
Servicer’s rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for any
P&I Advances or Servicing Advances and/or (2) an Advancing Person
agrees to fund some or all P&I Advances or Servicing Advances required
to be made by such Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. No consent of the
Trustee, Certificateholders or any other party is required before a Servicer
may
enter into an Advance Facility. Notwithstanding the existence of any Advance
Facility under which an Advancing Person agrees to fund P&I Advances and/or
Servicing Advances on a Servicer’s behalf, such Servicer shall remain obligated
pursuant to this Agreement to make P&I Advances and Servicing Advances
pursuant to and as required by this Agreement, and shall not be relieved of
such
obligations by virtue of such Advance Facility.
Reimbursement
amounts shall consist solely of amounts in respect of P&I Advances
and/or Servicing Advances made with respect to the Mortgage Loans for which
a
Servicer would be permitted to reimburse itself in accordance with this
Agreement, assuming such Servicer had made the related P&I Advance(s) and/or
Servicing Advance(s).
The
applicable Servicer shall maintain and provide to any successor servicer a
detailed accounting on a loan-by-loan basis as to amounts advanced by, pledged
or assigned to, and reimbursed to any Advancing Person. The successor servicer
shall be entitled to rely on any such information provided by the predecessor
servicer, and the successor servicer shall not be liable for any errors in
such
information.
An
Advancing Person who purchases or receives an assignment or pledge of the rights
to be reimbursed for P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances, and/or whose
obligations hereunder are limited to the funding of P&I Advances and/or
Servicing Advances shall not be required to meet the criteria for qualification
of a Subservicer set forth in this Agreement.
The
documentation establishing any Advance Facility shall require that reimbursement
amounts distributed with respect to each Mortgage Loan be allocated to
outstanding xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X Advances or Servicing Advances (as the case may
be) made with respect to that Mortgage Loan on a “first-in, first out” (FIFO)
basis. Such documentation shall also require the applicable Servicer to provide
to the related Advancing Person or its designee loan-by-loan information with
respect to each such reimbursement amount distributed to such Advancing Person
or Advance Facility trustee on each Distribution Date, to enable the Advancing
Person or Advance Facility trustee to make the FIFO allocation of each such
reimbursement amount with respect to each applicable Mortgage Loan. The
applicable Servicer shall remain entitled to be reimbursed by the Advancing
Person or Advance Facility trustee for all P&I Advances and Servicing
Advances funded by such Servicer to the extent the related rights to be
reimbursed therefor have not been sold, assigned or pledged to an Advancing
Person.
Any
amendment to this Section 10.07 or to any other provision of this Agreement
that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an Advance Facility
as described generally in this Section 10.07, including amendments to add
provisions relating to a successor servicer, may be entered into by the Trustee,
the Depositor, the Responsible Parties and the Servicers without the consent
of
any Certificateholder, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, upon receipt by the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel that such
amendment has no material adverse effect on the Certificateholders or written
confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such amendment will not adversely
affect the ratings on the Certificates. Prior to entering into an Advance
Facility, the applicable Servicer shall notify the lender under such facility
in
writing that: (a) the Advances financed by and/or pledged to the lender are
obligations owed to such Servicer on a non-recourse basis payable only from
the
cash flows and proceeds received under this Agreement for reimbursement of
Advances only to the extent provided herein, and the Trustee and the Trust
are
not otherwise obligated or liable to repay any Advances financed by the lender;
(b) such Servicer will be responsible for remitting to the lender the
applicable amounts collected by it as reimbursement for Advances funded by
the
lender, subject to the restrictions and priorities created in this Agreement;
and (c) the Trustee shall not have any responsibility to track or monitor
the administration of the financing arrangement between such applicable Servicer
and the lender.
Section
10.08 Limitation
on Rights of Certificateholders.
The
death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate
this
Agreement or the Trust created hereby, nor entitle such Certificateholder’s
legal representative or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action
or
commence any proceeding in any court for a petition or winding up of the Trust
created hereby, or otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities
of
the parties hereto or any of them.
No
Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as provided herein)
or in
any manner otherwise control 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 party by
reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any
provision hereof.
No
Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing itself of any
provisions 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 such
Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of an Event
of Default and of the continuance thereof, as herein provided, and unless the
Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights
evidenced by the Certificates shall also have made written request to 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 costs, expenses, and liabilities to be incurred therein
or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 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; 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 itself
or
themselves of any provisions of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice
the rights of the Holders of any other of the 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
common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement
of
the provisions of this Section 10.08, each and every Certificateholder and
the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law
or in
equity.
Section
10.09 Inspection
and Audit Rights.
Each
Servicer agrees that, on 5 Business Days prior notice, it will permit any
representative of the Depositor or the Trustee during such Person’s normal
business hours, to examine all the books of account, records, reports and other
papers of such Person relating to the Mortgage Loans, to make copies and
extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by independent certified
public accountants selected by the Depositor or the Trustee and to discuss
its
affairs, finances and accounts relating to the Mortgage Loans with its officers,
employees and independent public accountants (and by this provision each
Servicer hereby authorizes said accountants to discuss with such representative
such affairs, finances and accounts), all at such reasonable times and as often
as may be reasonably requested. Any out-of-pocket expense of a Servicer incident
to the exercise by the Depositor or the Trustee of any right under this
Section 10.09 shall be borne by such Servicer.
Section
10.10 Certificates
Nonassessable and Fully Paid.
It is
the intention of the Depositor that Certificateholders shall not be personally
liable for obligations of the Trust Fund, that the interests in the Trust Fund
represented by the Certificates shall be nonassessable for any reason
whatsoever, and that the Certificates, upon due authentication thereof by the
Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, are and shall be deemed fully
paid.
Section
10.11 Rule
of Construction.
Article
and section headings are for the convenience of the reader and shall not be
considered in interpreting this Agreement or the intent of the parties
hereto.
Section
10.12 Waiver
of Jury Trial.
EACH
PARTY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY, WAIVES (TO THE EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW) ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY
DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH
DISPUTE SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.
Section
10.13 Rights
of the Swap Provider.

Swap Provider shall be deemed a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement to
the
same extent as if it were a party hereto and shall have the right to enforce
its
rights under this Agreement.

AB Compliance; Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness.
The

Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance
provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the

to
comply with requests made by the Depositor in good faith for delivery of
information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations
of

shall
cooperate fully with the Depositor to deliver to the Depositor (including its

necessary in the good faith determination of the Depositor to permit the

the
consummation by HomEq of any other of the transactions herein contemplated,

may result in any material adverse change in the business, operations, financial
condition, properties or assets of HomEq, or in any material impairment of
the
right or ability of HomEq to carry on its business substantially as now
conducted, or in any material liability on the part of HomEq, or which would

the
Mortgage Loans or of any action taken or to be taken in connection with the
obligations of HomEq contemplated herein, or which would be likely to impair
materially the ability of HomEq to perform under the terms of this Pooling

SCHEDULE
III
Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxx ABS Capital Inc.
Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates,
Series 2006-NC3
Representations
and Warranties of the Responsible Party as to the Mortgage
Loans
NC
Capital Corporation hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth
in
this Schedule III as to the Mortgage Loans only to the Depositor, the
Servicers and the Trustee, as of April 28, 2006 (the “Securitization
Closing Date”)
(unless otherwise expressly indicated). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise
defined in this Schedule III shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the
Purchase Agreement.
(1) Mortgage
Loans as Described.
NC
Capital Corporation has delivered to the Sponsor, as of April 1, 2006, the
Data
Tape Information and that Data Tape Information and the information set forth
on
the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than item (21) thereof, as to which NC
Capital Corporation makes no representation or warranty) are true and correct,
including, without limitation, the terms of the Prepayment Charges, if any,
as
of the Securitization Closing Date;
(2) Payments
Current.
All
payments required to be made up to April 1, 2006 for the Mortgage Loan under
the
terms of the Mortgage Note, other than payments not yet 30 days delinquent,
have
been made and credited. No payment required under the Mortgage Loan is 30 days
or more delinquent nor has any payment under the Mortgage Loan been 30 days
or more delinquent at any time since the origination of the Mortgage Loan.
The
first Scheduled Payment was or shall be made with respect to the Mortgage Loan
on its Due Date or within the grace period, all in accordance with the terms
of
the related Mortgage Note;
(3) No
Outstanding Charges.
There
are no defaults in complying with the terms of the Mortgage, and all taxes,
governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal
charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and
owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount
sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been
assessed but is not yet due and payable. Neither NC Capital Corporation nor
any
Affiliate has advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any
advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly,
for the payment of any amount required under the Mortgage Loan, except for
interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement
of
the Mortgage Loan proceeds, whichever is earlier, to the day which precedes
by
one month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and
interest;
(4) Original
Terms Unmodified.
The
terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered
or modified in any respect from the date of origination, except by a written
instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of
the
Sponsor, and which has been delivered to the Trustee and the terms of which
are
reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Data Tape Information or included
in the Mortgage File. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or
modification has been approved by the title insurer, if any, to the extent
required by the policy, and its terms are reflected on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule. No Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in
connection with an assumption agreement, approved by the title insurer, to
the
extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the
Mortgage Loan File delivered to the Trustee and the terms of which are reflected
in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and the Data Tape Information;
(5) No
Defenses.
The
Mortgage Loan is not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim
or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the
operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the
exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the
Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, and no such right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and
no
Mortgagor was a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency
proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated;
(6) Hazard
Insurance.
Pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, all buildings or other improvements
upon
the Mortgaged Property are insured by a generally acceptable insurer against
loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are
provided for in the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides or by Xxxxxxx Mac, as well as all
additional requirements set forth in Section 3.13 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. If required by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968,
as
amended, the Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the
requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration
is in effect which policy conforms to Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac, as well as
all
additional requirements set forth in Section 3.13 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. All individual insurance policies contain a standard
mortgagee clause naming New Century Mortgage Corporation and its successors
and
assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been paid. The Mortgage
obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the hazard insurance policy
at
the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so,
authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance
at
such Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor from the
Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been
given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance,
provided the policy is not a “master” or “blanket” hazard insurance policy
covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common
facilities of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance policy is the
valid and binding obligation of the insurer, is in full force and effect, and
will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of the Trustee upon
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. NC Capital
Corporation has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor’s having
engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such
policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity
and
binding effect of either, including, without limitation, no unlawful fee,
commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has
been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other
person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or
realized by NC Capital Corporation;
(7) Compliance
with Applicable Laws.
Any and
all requirements of any federal, state or local law, including, without
limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer
credit protection, equal credit opportunity and disclosure and all predatory
and
abusive lending laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan, including, without
limitation, any provisions therein relating to Prepayment Charges, have been
complied with, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will
not
involve the violation of any such laws or regulations, and NC Capital
Corporation shall maintain in its possession, available for the Sponsor’s or the
Trustee’s inspection, and shall deliver to the Sponsor upon demand, evidence of
compliance with all such requirements;
(8) No
Satisfaction of Mortgage.
Other
than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that was subject to a Principal
Prepayment in Full occurring after the Cut-off Date but prior to the
Securitization Closing Date, the Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled,
subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property
has
not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has
any instrument been executed that would effect any such release, cancellation,
subordination or rescission. NC Capital Corporation has not waived the
performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to
perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has
NC
Capital Corporation waived any default resulting from any action or inaction
by
the Mortgagor;
(9) Location
and Type of Mortgaged Property.
The
Mortgaged Property is located in the state identified in the Mortgage Loan
Schedule and consists of a single parcel of real property with a detached single
family residence erected thereon, or a two- to four-family dwelling, or an
individual condominium unit in a low rise condominium project, or an individual
unit in a planned unit development or a de minimis planned unit development
which is in each case four stories or less; provided,
however,
that
any condominium unit, planned unit development, mobile home (double wide only)
or manufactured dwelling shall conform with the applicable Xxxxxx Mae and
Xxxxxxx Mac requirements regarding such dwellings and that no Mortgage Loan
is
secured by a single parcel of real property with a cooperative housing
corporation, a log home or, except as specified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule,
a
mobile home erected thereon or by a mixed use property, a property in excess
of
10 acres or other unique property types. As of the date of origination, no
portion of the Mortgaged Property was used for commercial purposes, and since
the date of origination, no portion of the Mortgaged Property has been used
for
commercial purposes; provided,
that
Mortgaged Properties which contain a home office shall not be considered as
being used for commercial purposes as long as the Mortgaged Property has not
been altered for commercial purposes and is not storing any chemicals or raw
materials other than those commonly used for homeowner repair, maintenance
and/or household purposes. With respect to any Mortgage Loan secured by a
Mortgaged Property improved by manufactured housing, (i) such Mortgage Loan
conforms with the applicable Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac requirements regarding
mortgage loans related to manufactured dwellings, (ii) the related
manufactured housing unit is permanently affixed to the land, (iii) the
related manufactured housing unit and the related land are subject to a Mortgage
properly filed in the appropriate public recording office and naming New Century
Mortgage Corporation as mortgagee, (iv) the applicable laws of the
jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located will deem the
manufactured dwelling located on such Mortgaged Property to be a part of the
real property on which such dwelling is located, and (v) such Manufactured
Home Mortgage Loan is secured by manufactured housing treated as a single family
residence under Section 25(e)(10) of the Code;
(10) Valid
First Lien.
The
Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien (with
respect to each First Lien Mortgage Loan) or second lien (with respect to each
Second Lien Mortgage Loan) on the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings
and improvements on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical,
electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems located in or annexed
to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at
any
time with respect to the foregoing. The lien of the Mortgage is subject only
to:
(i) with
respect to a Second Lien Mortgage Loan only, the lien of the first mortgage
on
the Mortgaged Property;
(ii) the
lien
of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and
payable;
(iii) covenants,

to
the exceptions contained in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of
representation 10 of this Schedule III, and in the case of Adjustable Rate
Mortgage Loans, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability

adjustment to the Mortgage Rate and Scheduled Payment. Where required by state
law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the
carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. Additionally, such lender’s

breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration existing under the
Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time
or
with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute
a
default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration, and neither
NC Capital Corporation nor its Affiliates or any of their respective
predecessors have waived any default, breach, violation or event which would
permit acceleration;
(18) No
Mechanics’ Liens.
As of
the date of origination, there are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims

which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority, or
(b) the following requirements have been met with respect to the Mortgage
Loan: NC Capital Corporation purchased the Mortgage Loan from New Century
Mortgage Corporation, its affiliate, that meets the requirements set forth
in
clause (a), and (i) such Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance
with standards established by New Century Mortgage Corporation, using
application forms and related credit documents approved by New Century Mortgage
Corporation, (ii) New Century Mortgage Corporation approved each
application and the related credit documents before a commitment by the
correspondent was issued, and no such commitment was issued until New Century
Mortgage Corporation agreed to fund such Mortgage Loan, (iii) the closing
documents for such Mortgage Loan were prepared on forms approved by New Century
Mortgage Corporation and (iv) such Mortgage Loan was actually funded by New
Century Mortgage Corporation and was purchased by New Century Mortgage
Corporation at closing or soon thereafter. The documents, instruments and
agreements submitted for loan underwriting were not falsified and contain no
untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required

not misleading. Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than
sixty days after funds were disbursed in connection with the Mortgage Loan.
The
Mortgage Rate is as set forth on Mortgage Loan Schedule hereto (including in
the
case of Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, the interest rate and payment
limitations set forth on Mortgage Loan Schedule hereto). All Mortgage Loans

a Mortgagor on a Mortgage Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee’s sale of, the
Mortgaged Property pursuant to the proper procedures, the holder of the Mortgage
Loan will be able to deliver good and merchantable title to the Mortgaged
Property. There is no homestead or other exemption available to a Mortgagor
which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a
trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage, subject to applicable
federal and state laws and judicial precedent with respect to bankruptcy and
right of redemption or similar law;

With

Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages by NC Capital Corporation are not subject
to
the bulk transfer or similar statutory provisions in effect in any applicable
jurisdiction;
(28) due-on-sale.
With
respect to each Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage contains an enforceable
provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance
of
the Mortgage Loan in the event that the Mortgaged Property is sold or
transferred without the prior written consent of the mortgagee thereunder,
and
such provision is enforceable;
(29) No
Buydown Provisions; No Graduated Payments or Contingent
Interests.
The
Mortgage Loan does not contain provisions pursuant to which Scheduled Payments

future advances made to the Mortgagor prior to the Cut-off Date have been
consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage,
and

respect to a First Lien Mortgage Loan) or second lien priority (with respect
to
a Second Lien Mortgage Loan) by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to

with respect to the Mortgaged Property and NC Capital Corporation has no
knowledge of any such proceedings in the future;

The

All
Mortgage Rate adjustments have been made in strict compliance with state and
federal law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note. If, pursuant to the
terms of the Mortgage Note, another index was selected for determining the
Mortgage Rate, the same index was used with respect to each Mortgage Note which
required a new index to be selected, and such selection did not conflict with
the terms of the related Mortgage Note. NC Capital Corporation or an Affiliate

called the “Certificates”),
and
representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund created by the
Agreement.
The
Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will
look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for payment
hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders for
any
amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly
provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the
Agreement.
This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made
to
the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits,
obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights, duties and immunities
of the Trustee.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day
of each month or, if such day is not a Business Day, the Business Day,
immediately following (the “Distribution

commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to
the
Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business
on
the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage
Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed
to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on
such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement. The Record Date applicable
to
each Distribution Date is the Business Day immediately preceding such
Distribution Date; provided,
however,
that
for any Definitive Certificates, the Record Date shall be the last Business
Day
of the month next preceding the month of such Distribution Date.
Distributions
on this Certificate shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or other entity having
appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have so
notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related
Record Date and such Certificateholder shall satisfy the conditions to receive
such form of payment set forth in the Agreement, or, if not, by check mailed

in
like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at
the
offices designated by the Trustee for such purposes, or such other location
specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final
distribution.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee and
the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
parties to the Agreement with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
affected by such amendment evidencing the requisite Percentage Interest, as
provided in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate
shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders
of
this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or
in
exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent
is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof,
in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of
the
Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
of
the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer
at
the offices designated by the Trustee for such purposes, accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed
by the holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized
denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the
Trust
Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable
for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The
Depositor and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor or the Trustee may
treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, and neither the Depositor, the Trustee, nor any such
agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

whole, from the Trust Fund all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property

and
representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund created by the

The

look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for payment
hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders for
any
amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly
provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the
Agreement.
This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made
to
the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits,
obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights, duties and immunities
of the Trustee.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day
of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day
immediately following (the “Distribution
Date”),
commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to
the
Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business
on
the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage
Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed
to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on
such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement. The Record Date applicable
to
each Distribution Date is the last Business Day of the month next preceding
the
month of such Distribution Date.
Distributions
on this Certificate shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or other entity having
appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have so
notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related
Record Date and such Certificateholder shall satisfy the conditions to receive
such form of payment set forth in the Agreement, or, if not, by check mailed
by
first class mail to the address of such Certificateholder appearing in the
Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made
in
like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at
the
offices designated by the Trustee for such purposes or such other location
specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final
distribution.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee and
the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
parties to the Agreement with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
affected by such amendment evidencing the requisite Percentage Interest, as
provided in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate
shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders
of
this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or
in
exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent
is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof,
in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of
the
Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
of
the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer
at
the offices designated by the Trustee for such purposes, accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed
by the holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized
denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the
Trust
Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable
for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The
Depositor and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor or the Trustee may
treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, and neither the Depositor, the Trustee, nor any such
agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

any
Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans is less than or equal to 10% of the Cut-off Date Pool Principal
Balance, HomEq Servicing Corporation, will have the option to repurchase, in
whole, from the Trust Fund all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property

The
undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:
1. The
undersigned is an officer of ___________________, the proposed Transferee of
an
Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate (the “Certificate”)
issued
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Agreement”),
relating to the above-referenced Series, by and among Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx ABS
Capital I Inc., as Depositor, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as a Servicer, HomEq
Servicing Corporation, as a Servicer, NC Capital Corporation, as Responsible
Party, and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee (the
“Trustee”).
Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed
to such terms in the Agreement. The Transferee has authorized the undersigned
to
make this affidavit on behalf of the Transferee for the benefit of the Depositor
and the Trustee.
2. The
Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the date of the
Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its Ownership
Interest in the Certificate for its own account. The Transferee has no knowledge
that any such affidavit is false.
3. The
Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax will be
imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are Non-Permitted
Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if such
Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or middleman)
for
a Person that is a Non-Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and (iii) the
Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the
tax
if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that such
subsequent Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of Transfer,
such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is
false.
4. The
Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will be imposed
on a
“pass-through entity” holding the Certificate if at any time during the taxable
year of the pass-through entity a Person that is a Non-Permitted Transferee
is
the record holder of an interest in such entity. The Transferee understands
that
such tax will not be imposed for any period with respect to which the record
holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an affidavit that such record holder
is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through entity does not have actual
knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this purpose, a “pass-through
entity” includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust
or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives
and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations, persons holding
interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another
Person.)
5. The
Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of the
Agreement and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an
Ownership Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the
restrictions on subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the
Transfer and mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by
and
to abide by the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement and the
restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands
and agrees that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall
render the Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and
void.
6. The
Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any Person to whom the
Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the Certificate,
and
in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the Transferee is acting
as
nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not Transfer its Ownership
Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be Transferred to any Person that
the Transferee knows is a Non-Permitted Transferee. In connection with any
such
Transfer by the Transferee, the Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee
a
certificate substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit H to the
Agreement (a “Transferor
Certificate”)
to the
effect that, among other things, such Transferee has no actual knowledge that
the Person to which the Transfer is to be made is a Non-Permitted
Transferee.
7. The
Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment or collection
of
any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the Certificate. The
Transferee has historically paid its debts as they have come due and intends
to
pay its debts as they come due in the future. The Transferee intends to pay
all
taxes due with respect to the Certificate as they become due.
8. The
Transferee’s taxpayer identification number is __________.
9. The
Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code
Section 7701(a)(30).
10. The
Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a “noneconomic residual
interest” within the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations promulgated
pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest
will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual
interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the
assessment or collection of tax.
11. The
Transferee will not cause income from the Residual Certificate to be
attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the
meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Transferee or any other
U.S.
Person.
12. Check
the
applicable paragraph:
|
(i)
|
The
present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with
holding
the Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum
of:
|
|
(ii)
|
the
present value of any consideration given to the Transferee to acquire
such
Certificate;
|
|
(iii)
|
the
present value of the expected future distributions on such Certificate;
and
|
|
(iv)
|
the
present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding
such
Certificate as the related REMIC generates
losses.
|
For
purposes of this calculation, (i) the Transferee is assumed to pay tax at
the highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code (but
the tax rate in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of
the highest rate specified in Section 11(b) of the Code if the
Transferee has been subject to the alternative minimum tax under Section 55
of the Code in the preceding two years and will compute its taxable income
in
the current taxable year using the alternative minimum tax rate) and
(ii) present values are computed using a discount rate equal to the
short-term Federal rate prescribed by Section 1274(d) of the Code for the
month of the transfer and the compounding period used by the
Transferee.
(i) The
transfer of the Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections
1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly,
(ii) the
Transferee is an “eligible corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations
Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to which income from the Certificate will
only be taxed in the United States;
(iii) at
the
time of the transfer, and at the close of the Transferee’s two fiscal years
preceding the year of the transfer, the Transferee had gross assets for
financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a person related
to
the Transferee within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations
Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100 million and net assets in
excess of $10 million;
(iv) he
Transferee will transfer the Certificate only to another “eligible corporation,”
as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a
transaction that satisfies the requirements of Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i),
(ii) and (iii) and Section 1.860E-1(c)(5) of the U.S. Treasury
Regulations; and
(v) the
Transferee determined the consideration paid to it to acquire the Certificate
based on reasonable market assumptions (including, but not limited to, borrowing
and investment rates, prepayment and loss assumptions, expense and reinvestment
assumptions, tax rates and other factors specific to the Transferee) that it
has
determined in good faith.
(vi) None
of
the above.
5. The
Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of ERISA
or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan subject to
any Federal, state or local law that is substantially similar to Title I of
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and the Transferee is not acting on
behalf of or investing plan assets of such a plan.

Certificates, Series 2006-NC3, Class [___]
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
In
connection with our acquisition of the above Certificates we certify that
(a) we understand that the Certificates are not being registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”),
or
any state securities laws and are being transferred to us in a transaction
that
is exempt from the registration requirements of the Act and any such laws,
(b) we have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters
that we are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investments in the
Certificates, (c) we have had the opportunity to ask questions of and
receive answers from the Depositor concerning the purchase of the Certificates
and all matters relating thereto or any additional information deemed necessary
to our decision to purchase the Certificates, (d) we are not an employee
benefit plan that is subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”),
or a
plan or arrangement that is subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, or a plan subject to materially similar provisions
of
applicable federal, state or local law, nor are we acting on behalf of any
such
plan or arrangement nor using the assets of any such plan or arrangement to
effect such acquisition or, with respect to a Class X Certificate, the
purchaser is an insurance company that is purchasing this certificate with
funds
contained in an “insurance company general account” (as such term is defined in
Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”))
and
the purchase and holding of such Certificates are covered under Sections I
and III of PTCE 95-60, (e) we have not, nor has anyone acting on our behalf
offered, transferred, pledged, sold or otherwise disposed of the Certificates,
any interest in the Certificates or any other similar security to, or solicited
any offer to buy or accept a transfer, pledge or other disposition of the
Certificates, any interest in the Certificates or any other similar security
from, or otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to the Certificates,
any interest in the Certificates or any other similar security with, any person
in any manner, or made any general solicitation by means of general advertising
or in any other manner, or taken any other action, that would constitute a
distribution of the Certificates under the Securities Act or that would render
the disposition of the Certificates a violation of Section 5 of the
Securities Act or require registration pursuant thereto, nor will act, nor
has
authorized or will authorize any person to act, in such manner with respect
to
the Certificates, and (f) we are a “qualified institutional buyer” as that
term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act and have completed
either of the forms of certification to that effect attached hereto as
Annex 1 or Annex 2. We are aware that the sale to us is being made in
reliance on Rule 144A. We are acquiring the Certificates for our own
account or for resale pursuant to Rule 144A and further, understand that
such Certificates may be resold, pledged or transferred only (i) to a
person reasonably believed to be a qualified institutional buyer that purchases
for its own account or for the account of a qualified institutional buyer to
whom notice is given that the resale, pledge or transfer is being made in
reliance on Rule 144A, or (ii) pursuant to another exemption from
registration under the Securities Act.
In
connection with our purchase of the Certificates, we acknowledge and agree
that
(i) none of you nor any of your affiliates is acting as a fiduciary or
financial or investment adviser for us; (ii) we are not relying (for
purposes of making any investment decision or otherwise) upon any advice,
counsel or representations (whether written or oral) of any of you or your
affiliates with respect to the Certificates; (iii) none of you nor any of
your affiliates has given to us (directly or indirectly through any other

Mac
and each such title insurance policy is issued by a title insurer acceptable
to
Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction
where
the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring the Seller, its successors and
assigns, as to the first (with respect to a First Lien Loan) or second (with
respect to a Second Lien Loan) priority lien of the Mortgage in the original
principal amount of the Mortgage Loan (or to the extent a Mortgage Note provides
for negative amortization, the maximum amount of negative amortization in
accordance with the Mortgage), subject only to the exceptions contained in
clauses (1), (2) and (3) of Paragraph (j) of this Subsection 9.02,
and in
the case of Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, against any loss by reason of the
invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of
the
Mortgage providing for adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly
Payment. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been
given
the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance.
Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress
and egress, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or
any
interest therein. The Seller, its successor and assigns, are the sole insureds
of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance
policy is valid and remains in full force and effect and will be in force and
effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and no

the Seller nor any of its affiliates nor any of their respective predecessors,
have waived any default, breach, violation or event which would permit
acceleration;
(r) No
Mechanics’ Liens.

not misleading. Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than
sixty days after funds were disbursed in connection with the Mortgage Loan.
The
Mortgage Interest Rate as well as, with respect to Adjustable Rate Mortgage
loans, the Lifetime Rate Cap and the Periodic Cap, are as set forth on the

a Mortgagor on a Mortgage Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee’s sale of, the
Mortgaged Property pursuant to the proper procedures, the holder of the Mortgage
Loan will be able to deliver good and merchantable title to the Mortgaged
Property. There is no homestead or other exemption available to a Mortgagor

federal and state laws and judicial precedent with respect to bankruptcy and
right of redemption or similar law;

trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the
Mortgagor;
(z) Acceptable
Investment.
There
are no circumstances or conditions with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged
Property, the Mortgagor, the Mortgage File or the Mortgagor’s credit standing
that can reasonably be expected to cause private institutional investors who
invest in mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loan to regard the Mortgage
Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become
delinquent, or adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage
Loan,
or cause the Mortgage Loans to prepay during any period materially faster or
slower than the mortgage loans originated by the Seller generally;
(aa) Delivery
of Mortgage Documents.
The
Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage and any other documents
required to be delivered under the Custodial Agreement for each Mortgage Loan

Assignment of Mortgage with respect to each Mortgage Loan is in recordable
form
and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which
the
Mortgaged Property is located. The transfer, assignment and conveyance of the
Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages by the Seller are not subject to the bulk
transfer or similar statutory provisions in effect in any applicable
jurisdiction;
(dd) Due-On-Sale.
With
respect to each Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage contains an enforceable

of
the Mortgage Loan in the event that the Mortgaged Property is sold or
transferred without the prior written consent of the mortgagee thereunder,
and
such provision is enforceable;
(ee) Assumability.

The
Mortgage Loan does not contain provisions pursuant to which Monthly Payments
are
paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account established
by the Seller, the Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, or paid
by
any source other than the Mortgagor nor does it contain any other similar
provisions which may constitute a “buydown” provision. The Mortgage Loan is not
a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared
appreciation or other contingent interest feature;
(gg) Consolidation
of Future Advances.
Any
future advances made to the Mortgagor prior to the Cut-off Date have been
consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage,
and

and
single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated
principal amount is expressly insured as having first (with respect to a First
Lien Loan) or a second (with respect to a Second Lien Loan) lien priority by
a
title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee’s
consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx and
Xxxxxxx Mac. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original
principal amount of the Mortgage Loan;
(hh) Mortgaged
Property Undamaged; No Condemnation Proceedings.
There
is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation
of
the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is undamaged by waste, fire,
earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty so
as
to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the
Mortgage Loan or the use for which the premises were intended and each Mortgaged
Property is in good repair. There have not been any condemnation proceedings
with respect to the Mortgaged Property and the Seller has no knowledge of any
such proceedings in the future;

and have been in all respects legal and proper. With respect to escrow deposits
and Escrow Payments, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the
control of, the Seller or the Originator and there exist no deficiencies in
connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof
have
not been made. All Escrow Payments have been collected in full compliance with
state and federal law and the provisions of the related Mortgage Note and
Mortgage. An escrow of funds is not prohibited by applicable law and has been
established in an amount sufficient to pay for every item that remains unpaid
and has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. No escrow deposits or
Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due the Seller have been
capitalized under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note. All Mortgage Interest
Rate
adjustments have been made in strict compliance with state and federal law
and
the terms of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note on the related Interest
Rate
Adjustment Date. If, pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Note, another index
was selected for determining the Mortgage Interest Rate, the same index was
used
with respect to each Mortgage Note which required a new index to be selected,
and such selection did not conflict with the terms of the related Mortgage
Note.
The Seller or the Originator executed and delivered any and all notices required
under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage
regarding the Mortgage Interest Rate and the Monthly Payment adjustments. Any
interest required to be paid pursuant to state, federal and local law has been
properly paid and credited;

receives notice of any such breach within 120 days of the related Closing
Date, the Seller shall, at the Purchaser’s option and provided that the Seller
has a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, rather than repurchase the Mortgage
Loan as provided above, remove such Mortgage Loan (a “Deleted
Mortgage Loan”)
and
substitute in its place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, provided
that any such substitution shall be effected not later than 120 days after
the related Closing Date. If the Seller has no Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan, it shall repurchase the deficient Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price.
Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan or Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions
of this Subsection
9.03
shall be
accomplished by either (a) if the Servicing Agreement has been entered into
and is in effect, deposit in the Custodial Account of the amount of the
Repurchase Price for distribution to the Purchaser on the next scheduled
Remittance Date, after deducting therefrom any amount received in respect of
such repurchased Mortgage Loan or Loans and being held in the Custodial Account
for future distribution or (b) if the Servicing Agreement has not been
entered into or is no longer in effect, by direct remittance of the Repurchase
Price to the Purchaser or its designee in accordance with the Purchaser’s
instructions.
At
the
time of repurchase or substitution, the Purchaser and the Seller shall arrange
for the reassignment of the Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Seller and the delivery
to the Seller of any documents held by the Custodian relating to the Deleted
Mortgage Loan. In the event of a repurchase or substitution, the Seller shall,
simultaneously with such reassignment, give written notice to the Purchaser
that
such repurchase or substitution has taken place, amend the Mortgage Loan
Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of the Deleted Mortgage Loan from this
Agreement, and, in the case of substitution, identify a Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan and amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the
addition of such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan to this Agreement. In
connection with any such substitution, the Seller shall be deemed to have made
as to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan the representations and warranties
set forth in this Agreement except that all such representations and warranties
set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed made as of the date of such
substitution. The Seller shall effect such substitution by delivering to the
Custodian or to such other party as the Purchaser may designate in writing
for
such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan the documents required by Subsection 6.03
and the
Custodial Agreement, with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required by Subsection 6.03
and the
Custodial Agreement. No substitution will be made in any calendar month after
the Determination Date for such month. The Seller shall cause the Originator
to
remit directly to the Purchaser, or its designee in accordance with the
Purchaser’s instructions the Monthly Payment less the Servicing Fee due, if any,
on such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans in the month following
the
date of such substitution. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall be retained by
the
Seller. For the month of substitution, distributions to the Purchaser shall
include the Monthly Payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan in the month of
substitution, and the Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts
subsequently received by the Seller in respect of such Deleted Mortgage
Loan.
For
any
month in which the Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
for a
Deleted Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall determine the amount (if any) by which
the aggregate principal balance of all Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans
as of
the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance
of
all Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of scheduled principal payments
due in the month of substitution). The amount of such shortfall shall be
distributed by the Seller directly to the Purchaser or its designee in
accordance with the Purchaser’s instructions within two (2) Business Days of
such substitution.
In
addition to such repurchase or substitution obligation, the Seller shall
indemnify the Purchaser and the Successor Servicer and hold such parties
harmless against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable
and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs and
expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or
grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of the Seller representations and
warranties contained in this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement. It
is
understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in this
Subsection
9.03
to cure,
substitute for or repurchase a defective Mortgage Loan and to indemnify the
Purchaser and the Successor Servicer as provided in this Subsection
9.03
constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser and the Successor Servicer
respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and
warranties.
Any
cause
of action against the Seller relating to or arising out of the breach of any
representations and warranties made in Subsections
9.01 and 9.02
shall
accrue as to any Mortgage Loan upon (i) discovery of such breach by the
Purchaser or notice thereof by the Seller to the Purchaser, (ii) failure by
the Seller to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified
above, and (iii) demand upon the Seller by the Purchaser for compliance
with this Agreement.
Subsection
9.04 [RESERVED].
Subsection
9.05 Repurchase
of Mortgage Loans With First Payment Defaults.
If
the
related Mortgagor is delinquent with respect to the Mortgage Loan’s first
Monthly Payment either (i) after origination of such Mortgage Loan, or
(ii) after the related Closing Date, the Seller, at the Purchaser’s option,
shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Purchaser at a price equal to
the
percentage of par as stated in the related Purchase Price and Terms Agreement
(subject to adjustment as provided therein) multiplied by the then outstanding
principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, plus accrued and unpaid interest
thereon from the date to which interest was last paid through the day prior
to
the repurchase date at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate, plus any
outstanding advances owed to any servicer in connection with such Mortgage
Loan.
A Mortgage Loan’s first Monthly Payment after the related Closing Date shall be
considered “delinquent” if such Monthly Payment has not been received by the
Purchaser by the fifteenth (15th)
day of
the month following the month in which the Monthly Payment was due. The
Purchaser shall have ninety (90) days following any such delinquency to notify
the Seller of any repurchase request and the Seller shall repurchase such
delinquent Mortgage Loan within thirty (30) days of the date of such
request.
Subsection
9.06 Repurchase
of Certain Mortgage Loans That Prepay in Full.
With
respect to Mortgage Loans without prepayment penalties, in the event that any
such Mortgage Loan prepays in full either (i) on or before a Securitization
Transaction or (ii) during the first six months following the related Closing
Date, the Seller shall pay the Purchaser, within three (3) Business Days of
such
prepayment in full, the difference between the Purchase Price for such Mortgage
Loan and the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the
related Cut-off Date.
| SECTION 10. |

or
|
|
(iv)
|
one
or more trusts or other entities to be formed as part of one or more

|
The
Seller agrees to execute in connection with any Agency Transfer, any and all
pool purchase contracts, and/or agreements reasonably acceptable to the Seller
among the Purchaser, the Seller, Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac (as the case may
be)
and any servicer in connection with a Whole Loan Transfer, a seller’s warranties

With
respect to each Whole Loan Transfer and each Securitization Transaction entered
into by the Purchaser, the Seller agrees (1) to cooperate fully with the
Purchaser and any prospective purchaser with respect to all reasonable requests
and due diligence procedures; (2) to execute, deliver and perform all
Reconstitution Agreements required by the Purchaser; and (3) to restate the
representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and the Servicing

Reconstitution that occurs on or prior to the date which is six (6) months
following the related Closing Date and in connection with any Reconstitution
on
or after the date which is six (6) months following the related Closing

as of the Closing Date (each, a “Reconstitution

or
make the representations and warranties set forth in the related
selling/servicing guide of the master servicer or issuer, as the case may be,
in
connection with such Reconstitution. The Seller shall use its reasonable best
efforts to provide to such master servicer or issuer, as the case may be, and
any other participants in such Reconstitution: (i) any and all information
and appropriate verification of information which may be reasonably available
to
the Seller or its affiliates, whether through letters of its auditors and
counsel or otherwise, as the Purchaser or any such other participant shall
request; (ii) such additional representations, warranties, covenants,
opinions of counsel, letters from auditors, and certificates of public officials
or officers of the Seller or the Originator as are reasonably believed necessary
by the Purchaser or any such other participant; and (iii) to execute,
deliver and satisfy all conditions set forth in any indemnity agreement required
by the Purchaser or any such participant. The Seller shall indemnify the
Purchaser, each Affiliate designated by the Purchaser and each Person who
controls the Purchaser or such Affiliate and hold each of them harmless from
and
against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and
necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees
and
expenses that each of them may sustain in any way related to any information
provided by or on behalf of the Seller or the Originator regarding the Seller,
the Originator, the Seller’s or other originator’s Static Pool Information, the

title to the Mortgages, prior to the Reconstitution Date, the Seller shall
prepare an assignment of mortgage in blank or to the prospective purchaser
or
trustee, as applicable, from the Seller or the Originator, as applicable,
acceptable to the prospective purchaser or trustee, as applicable, for each
Mortgage Loan that is part of the Reconstitution and shall pay all preparation
and recording costs associated therewith. In connection with the Reconstitution,
the Seller shall execute or shall cause the Originator to execute each
assignment of mortgage, track such Assignments of Mortgage to ensure they have
been recorded and deliver them as required by the prospective purchaser or
trustee, as applicable, upon the Seller’s receipt thereof. Additionally, the

and
all seller/servicer agreements.
All
Mortgage Loans not sold or transferred pursuant to a Reconstitution shall remain
subject to this Agreement and, if the Servicing Agreement shall remain in effect
with respect to the related Mortgage Loan Package, shall continue to be serviced

The
Seller.
|
Subsection

The
Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser and the Successor Servicer and hold such
parties harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments,
and any other costs, fees and expenses that such parties may sustain in any
way
related to the failure of the Seller to perform its duties and the Originator
to
service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement
or any Reconstitution Agreement entered into pursuant to Section 13.
The
Seller immediately shall notify the Purchaser if a claim is made by a third
party with respect to this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement or the
Mortgage Loans, assume (with the prior written consent of the Purchaser) the
defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith,
including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment
or
decree which may be entered against it or the Purchaser in respect of such
claim. The Purchaser promptly shall reimburse the Seller for all amounts
advanced by it pursuant to the preceding sentence, except when the claim is
in
any way related to the Seller’s indemnification pursuant to Section 9,
or is
in any way related to the failure of the Originator or the Seller to service
and
administer the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this
Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement.
Subsection
14.02 Merger
or Consolidation of the Seller.
The
Seller will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a
corporation under the laws of the state of its incorporation except as permitted
herein, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a
foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or
shall
be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement,
or
any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this
Agreement.
Any
Person into which the Seller may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Seller
shall
be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Seller, shall be
the
successor of the Seller hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper
or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein
to
the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving
Person shall have a net worth of at least $25,000,000.
| SECTION 15. |
Financial
Statements.
|
The
Seller understands that in connection with the Purchaser’s marketing of the
Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser shall make available to prospective purchasers
audited financial statements of the Seller for the most recently completed
three
fiscal years respecting which such statements are available, as well as a
Consolidated Statement of Condition of the Seller at the end of the last two
fiscal years covered by such Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Seller
shall also make available any comparable interim statements to the extent any
such statements have been prepared by the Seller (and are available upon request
to members or stockholders of the Seller or the public at large). The Seller,
if
it has not already done so, agrees to furnish promptly to the Purchaser copies
of the statements specified above. The Seller shall also make available
information on its servicing performance with respect to loans serviced for
others, including delinquency ratios.
The
Seller also agrees to allow reasonable access to a knowledgeable financial
or
accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions asked by any
prospective purchaser regarding recent developments affecting the Seller or
the
financial statements of the Seller.
| SECTION 16. |
Mandatory
Delivery; Grant of Security Interest.
|
The
sale
and delivery on the related Closing Date of the Mortgage Loans described on
the
related Mortgage Loan Schedule is mandatory from and after the date of the
execution of the related Purchase Price and Terms Agreement, it being
specifically understood and agreed that each Mortgage Loan is unique and
identifiable on the date hereof and that an award of money damages would be
insufficient to compensate the Purchaser for the losses and damages incurred
by
the Purchaser (including damages to prospective purchasers of the Mortgage
Loans) in the event of the Seller’s failure to deliver (i) each of the
related Mortgage Loans or (ii) one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans or (iii) one or more Mortgage Loans otherwise acceptable to the
Purchaser on or before the related Closing Date. The Seller hereby grants to
the
Purchaser a lien on and a continuing security interest in each Mortgage Loan
and
each document and instrument evidencing each such Mortgage Loan to secure the
performance by the Seller of its obligations under the related Purchase Price
and Terms Agreement, and the Seller agrees that it shall hold such Mortgage
Loans in custody for the Purchaser subject to the Purchaser’s (a) right to
reject any Mortgage Loan (or Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan) under the
terms
of this Agreement and to require another Mortgage Loan (or Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan) to be substituted therefor, and (b) obligation to pay the
Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loans. All rights and remedies of the Purchaser
under this Agreement are distinct from, and cumulative with, any other rights
or
remedies under this Agreement or afforded by law or equity and all such rights
and remedies may be exercised concurrently, independently or
successively.
| SECTION 17. |

| SECTION 18. |
Severability
Clause.
|
Any
part,
provision representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited
or
unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall
be ineffective, as to such jurisdiction, to the extent of such prohibition
or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and
any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction as to any Mortgage
Loan
shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other
jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto
waive any provision of law which prohibits or renders void or unenforceable
any
provision hereof. If the invalidity of any part, provision, representation
or
warranty of this Agreement shall deprive any party of the economic benefit
intended to be conferred by this Agreement, the parties shall negotiate, in
good-faith, to develop a structure the economic effect of which is nearly as
possible the same as the economic effect of this Agreement without regard to
such invalidity.
| SECTION 19. |
Counterparts.
|
This
Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts. Each
counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall
constitute one and the same instrument.
| SECTION 20. |
Governing
Law.
|
This
Agreement shall be deemed in effect when a fully executed counterpart thereof
is
received by the Purchaser in the State of New York and shall be deemed to have
been made in the State of New York. The Agreement shall be construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York and the obligations, rights
and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with
the
substantive laws of the State of New York (without regard to conflicts of laws
principles), except to the extent preempted by Federal law.
| SECTION 21. |
Intention
of the Parties.
|
It
is the
intention of the parties that the Purchaser is purchasing, and the Seller is
selling the Mortgage Loans and not a debt instrument of the Seller or another
security. Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat the transaction
for Federal income tax purposes as a sale by the Seller, and a purchase by
the
Purchaser, of the Mortgage Loans. Moreover, the arrangement under which the
Mortgage Loans are held shall be consistent with classification of such
arrangement as a grantor trust in the event it is not found to represent direct
ownership of the Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser shall have the right to review
the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Loan Files to determine the
characteristics of the Mortgage Loans which shall affect the Federal income
tax
consequences of owning the Mortgage Loans and the Seller shall cooperate with
all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser in the course of such
review.
| SECTION 22. |
Successors
and Assigns; Assignment of Purchase Agreement.
|
This
Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
Seller and the Purchaser and the respective permitted successors and assigns
of
the Seller and the successors and assigns of the Purchaser. This Agreement
shall
not be assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the Seller to a third party without
the consent of the Purchaser. This Agreement may be assigned, pledged or
hypothecated by the Purchaser without the consent of the Seller. In the event
the Purchaser assigns this Agreement, and the assignee assumes any of the
Purchaser’s obligations hereunder, the Seller acknowledges and agrees to look
solely to such assignee, and not to the Purchaser, for performance of the
obligations so assumed and the Purchaser shall be relieved from any liability
to
the Seller with respect thereto.
| SECTION 23. |
Waivers.
|
No
term
or provision of this Agreement may be waived or modified unless such waiver
or
modification is in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver
or
modification is sought to be enforced.

and

| SECTION 32. |
Compliance
With Regulation AB.
|
Subsection
32.01 Intent
of the Parties; Reasonableness.
The
Purchaser and the Seller acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Section 32
of this
Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Purchaser and any Depositor with
the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the
Commission. Although Regulation AB is applicable by its terms only to offerings
of asset-backed securities that are registered under the Securities Act, the
Seller acknowledges that investors in privately offered securities may require
that the Purchaser or any Depositor provide comparable disclosure in
unregistered offerings. References in this Agreement to compliance with
Regulation AB include provision of comparable disclosure in private offerings.
Neither
the Purchaser nor any Depositor shall exercise its right to request delivery
of
information or other performance under these provisions other than in good
faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (or
the
provision in a private offering of disclosure comparable to that required under
the Securities Act). The Seller acknowledges that interpretations of the
requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive
guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants
in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and
agrees to comply with requests made by the Purchaser or any Depositor in good
faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of
evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection with any Securitization
Transaction, the Seller shall cooperate fully with the Purchaser to deliver
to
the Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees) and any Depositor,
any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other
information necessary in the good faith determination of the Purchaser or any
Depositor to permit the Purchaser or such Depositor to comply with the
provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the
Seller, any Third-Party Originator and the Mortgage Loans, or the servicing
of
the Mortgage Loans, reasonably believed by the Purchaser or any Depositor to
be
necessary in order to effect such compliance.
The
Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees) shall cooperate with
the
Seller by providing timely notice of requests for information under these
provisions and by reasonably limiting such requests to information required,
in
the Purchaser’s reasonable judgment, to comply with Regulation AB.
Subsection
32.02 Additional
Representations and Warranties of the Seller.
(a) The
Seller shall be deemed to represent to the Purchaser and to any Depositor,
as of
the date on which information is first provided to the Purchaser or any
Depositor under Subsection
32.03
that,
except as disclosed in writing to the Purchaser or such Depositor prior to
such
date: (i) the Seller is not aware and has not received notice that any default,
early amortization or other performance triggering event has occurred as to
any
other securitization due to any act or failure to act of the Seller; (ii) the
Interim Servicer has not been terminated as servicer in a residential mortgage
loan securitization, either due to a servicing default or to application of
a

the
applicable servicing criteria with respect to other securitizations of
residential mortgage loans involving the Interim Servicer as servicer has been
disclosed or reported by the Seller; (iv) no material changes to the Interim
Servicer’s policies or procedures with respect to the servicing function it will
perform under the Interim Servicing Agreement and any Reconstitution Agreement
for mortgage loans of a type similar to the Mortgage Loans have occurred during

Transaction; (v) there are no aspects of the Interim Servicer’s financial
condition that could have a material adverse effect on the performance by the
Interim Servicer of its servicing obligations under the Interim Servicing
Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement; (vi) there are no material legal
or
governmental proceedings pending (or known to be contemplated) against the
Seller, Interim Servicer, any Subservicer or any Third-Party Originator; and
(vii) there are no affiliations, relationships or transactions relating to
the
Seller, Interim Servicer, any Subservicer or any Third-Party Originator with
respect to any Securitization Transaction and any party thereto identified
by
the related Depositor of a type described in Item 1119 of Regulation
AB.

the
Purchaser or any Depositor may reasonably request for the purpose of compliance

and/or (ii) each Third-Party Originator. Such Static Pool Information shall
be

the
Seller (or Third-Party Originator) on the basis of its reasonable, good faith

To
the extent that there is reasonably available to the Seller (or Third-Party
Originator) Static Pool Information with respect to more than one mortgage

or all of such information shall be provided pursuant to this paragraph. Such

CONTENTS
OF EACH MORTGAGE FILE
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage File shall include each of the
following items, which shall be available for inspection by the Purchaser and
any prospective Purchaser, and which shall be delivered to the Custodian, or
to
such other Person as the Purchaser shall designate in writing, pursuant to
Section 6 of the Third Amended and Restated Mortgage Loan Purchase and
Warranties Agreement to which this Exhibit is attached (the “Agreement”):
(c) (a)
the
original Mortgage Note bearing all intervening endorsements, endorsed “Pay to
the order of _________, without recourse” and signed in the name of the last
endorsee (the “Last
Endorsee”)
by an
authorized officer. To the extent that there is no room on the face of the
Mortgage Notes for endorsements, the endorsement may be contained on an allonge,
if state law so allows and the Custodian is so advised by the Seller that state
law so allows. If the Mortgage Loan was acquired by the Seller in a merger,
the
endorsement must be by “[Last Endorsee], successor by merger to [name of
predecessor]”. If the Mortgage Loan was acquired or originated by the Last
Endorsee while doing business under another name, the endorsement must be by
“[Last Endorsee], formerly known as [previous name]”;
(d) the
original of any guarantee executed in connection with the Mortgage
Note;
(e) the
original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon. If in connection with
any
Mortgage Loan, the Seller cannot deliver or cause to be delivered the original
Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon on or prior to the Closing Date
because of a delay caused by the public recording office where such Mortgage
has
been delivered for recordation or because such Mortgage has been lost or because
such public recording office retains the original recorded Mortgage, the Seller
shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian, a photocopy of such
Mortgage, together with (i) in the case of a delay caused by the public
recording office, an Officer’s Certificate of the Seller (or certified by the
title company, escrow agent, or closing attorney) stating that such Mortgage
has
been dispatched to the appropriate public recording office for recordation
and
that the original recorded Mortgage or a copy of such Mortgage certified by
such
public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded
Mortgage will be promptly delivered to the Custodian upon receipt thereof by
the
Seller; or (ii) in the case of a Mortgage where a public recording office
retains the original recorded Mortgage or in the case where a Mortgage is lost
after recordation in a public recording office, a copy of such Mortgage
certified by such public recording office to be a true and complete copy of
the
original recorded Mortgage;
(f) the
originals of all assumption, modification, consolidation or extension
agreements, if any, with evidence of recording thereon;
(g) the
original Assignment of Mortgage for each Mortgage Loan, in form and substance
acceptable for recording. The Assignment of Mortgage must be duly recorded
only
if recordation is either necessary under applicable law or commonly required
by
private institutional mortgage investors in the area where the Mortgaged
Property is located or on direction of the Purchaser as provided in this
Agreement. If the Assignment of Mortgage is to be recorded, the Mortgage shall
be assigned to the Purchaser. If the Assignment of Mortgage is not to be
recorded, the Assignment of Mortgage shall be delivered in blank. If the
Mortgage Loan was acquired by the Seller in a merger, the Assignment of Mortgage
must be made by “[Seller], successor by merger to [name of predecessor]”. If the
Mortgage Loan was acquired or originated by the Seller while doing business
under another name, the Assignment of Mortgage must be by “[Seller], formerly
known as [previous name]”;
(h) the
originals of all intervening assignments of mortgage (if any) evidencing a
complete chain of assignment from the Originator to the Last Endorsee with
evidence of recording thereon, or if any such intervening assignment has not
been returned from the applicable recording office or has been lost or if such
public recording office retains the original recorded assignments of mortgage,
the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian, a photocopy
of such intervening assignment, together with (i) in the case of a delay
caused by the public recording office, an Officers Certificate of the Seller
(or
certified by the title company, escrow agent, or closing attorney) stating
that
such intervening assignment of mortgage has been dispatched to the appropriate
public recording office for recordation and that such original recorded
intervening assignment of mortgage or a copy of such intervening assignment
of
mortgage certified by the appropriate public recording office to be a true
and
complete copy of the original recorded intervening assignment of mortgage will
be promptly delivered to the Custodian upon receipt thereof by the Seller;
or
(ii) in the case of an intervening assignment where a public recording
office retains the original recorded intervening assignment or in the case
where
an intervening assignment is lost after recordation in a public recording
office, a copy of such intervening assignment certified by such public recording
office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded intervening
assignment;
(i) the
original mortgagee policy of title insurance or, in the event such original
title policy is unavailable, a certified true copy of the related policy binder
or commitment for title certified to be true and complete by the title insurance
company;
(j) the
original or, if unavailable, a copy of any security agreement, chattel mortgage
or equivalent document executed in connection with the Mortgage;
and
(k) if
any of
the above documents has been executed by a person holding a power of attorney,
an original or photocopy of such power certified by the Seller to be a true
and
correct copy of the original.
In
the
event an Officer’s Certificate of the Seller is delivered to the Purchaser
because of a delay caused by the public recording office in returning any
recorded document, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser, within 90 days
of
the Closing Date, an Officer’s Certificate which shall (i) identify the
recorded document, (ii) state that the recorded document has not been
delivered to the Custodian due solely to a delay caused by the public recording
office, (iii) state the amount of time generally required by the applicable
recording office to record and return a document submitted for recordation,
and
(iv) specify the date the applicable recorded document will be delivered to
the Custodian. An extension of the date specified in clause (iv) above may
be requested from the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.

Dear
Sirs:
You
have
requested [our] [my] opinion, as [Assistant] General Counsel to
___________________ (the “Company”),
with
respect to certain matters in connection with the sale by the Company of the
Mortgage Loans pursuant to that certain Third Amended and Restated Mortgage
Loan
Purchase and Warranties Agreement by and between the Company and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx
Mortgage Capital Inc. (the “Purchaser”),
dated
as of _________ __, 200_ (the “Purchase
Agreement”)
and
the Amended and Restated Interim Servicing Agreement, by and between the
Purchaser and New Century Mortgage Corporation (the “Originator”),
dated
as of _________ __, 200_ (the “Servicing
Agreement”,
and
together with the Purchase Agreement, the “Agreements”).
which
sale is in the form of whole loans. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined
herein have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement and the Servicing
Agreement.
[We]
[I]
have examined the following documents:
|
1.
|
the
Agreements;
|
|
2.
|
the
form of Assignment of Mortgage;
|
|
3.
|
the
form of endorsement of the Mortgage Notes;
and
|
|
4.
|
such
other documents, records and papers as we have deemed
necessary and
relevant as a basis for this
opinion.
|
To
the
extent [we] [I] have deemed necessary and proper, [we] [I] have relied upon
the
representations and warranties of the Company and the Originator contained
in
the Agreements. [We] [I] have assumed the authenticity of all documents
submitted to [us] [me] as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the
legal capacity of natural persons and the conformity to the originals of all
documents.
Based
upon the foregoing, it is [our] [my] opinion that:
|
1.
|
The
Company and the Originator are [type of entity] duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the [United States]
and
are qualified to transact business in, and is in good standing under,
the
laws of [the state of
incorporation].
|
|
2.
|
Each
of the Company and the Originator has the power to engage in the
transactions contemplated by the Agreements and all requisite power,
authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Agreements and
to
perform and observe the terms and conditions of the
Agreements.
|
|
3.
|
Each
Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the
Company
and the Originator, as applicable, and is a legal, valid and binding
agreement enforceable in accordance with its terms against the Company
and
the Originator, as applicable, subject to bankruptcy laws and other
similar laws of general application affecting rights of creditors
and
subject to the application of the rules of equity, including those
respecting the availability of specific performance, none of which
will
materially interfere with the realization of the benefits provided
thereunder or with the Purchaser’s ownership of the Mortgage
Loans.
|
|
4.
|
Each
of the Company and the Originator has been duly authorized to allow
any of
its officers to execute any and all documents by original signature
in
order to complete the transactions contemplated by the
Agreements.
|
|
[5.
|
The
Company has been duly authorized to allow any of its officers to
execute
by original [or facsimile] signature the endorsements to the Mortgage
Notes and the Assignments of Mortgages, and the original [or facsimile]
signature of the officer at the Company executing the endorsements
to the
Mortgage Notes and the Assignments of Mortgages represents the legal
and
valid signature of said officer of the
Company].
|
|
6.
|
Either
(i) no consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or
governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery
and
performance by the Company or the Originator of or compliance by
the
Company or the Originator with the Agreements and the sale of the
Mortgage
Loans by the Company or the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by the Agreements or (ii) any required consent, approval,
authorization or order has been obtained by the Company or the
Originator.
|
|
7.
|
Neither
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, nor the fulfillment
of the terms of, the Agreements conflicts or will conflict with or
results
or will result in a breach of or constitutes or will constitute a
default
under the charter or by-laws of the Company or the Originator, as
applicable, or, to the best of my knowledge, the material terms of
any
indenture or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or
the
Originator is a party or by which it is bound or to which it is subject,
or violates any statute or order, rule, regulations, writ, injunction
or
decree of any court, governmental authority or regulatory body to
which
the Company or the Originator is subject or by which it is
bound.
|
|
8.
|
There
is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the
best of
[our] [my] knowledge, threatened against the Company or the Originator
which, in [our] [my] judgment, either in any one instance or in the
aggregate, may result in any material adverse change in the business,
operations, financial condition, properties or assets of the Company
or
the Originator or in any material impairment of the right or ability
of
the Company or the Originator to carry on its business substantially
as
now conducted or in any material liability on the part of the Company
or
the Originator or which would draw into question the validity of
the
Agreements or the Mortgage Loans or of any action taken or to be
taken in
connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, or which would
be
likely to impair materially the ability of the Company or the Originator
to perform under the terms of the
Agreements.
|
|
9.
|
The
sale of each Mortgage Note and Mortgage as and in the manner contemplated
by the Purchase Agreement, is sufficient to fully transfer to the
Purchaser all right, title and interest of the Company thereto as
noteholder and mortgagee.
|
|
10.
|
The
Mortgages have been duly assigned and the Mortgage Notes have been
duly
endorsed as provided in the Custodial Agreement. The Assignments
of
Mortgage are in recordable form, except for the insertion of the
name of
the assignee, and upon the name of the assignee being inserted, are
acceptable for recording under the laws of the state where each related
Mortgaged Property is located. The endorsement of the Mortgage Notes,
the
delivery to the Purchaser, or its designee, of the Assignments of
Mortgage, and the delivery of the original endorsed Mortgage Notes
to the
Purchaser, or its designee, are sufficient to permit the Purchaser
to
avail itself of all protection available under applicable law against
the
claims of any present or future creditors of the Company, and are
sufficient to prevent any other sale, transfer, assignment, pledge
or
hypothecation of the Mortgages and the Mortgage Notes by the Company
from
being enforceable.
|
Except
as
otherwise set forth in the Agreements, I assume no obligation to revise this
opinion or alter its conclusions to update or support this letter to reflect
any
facts or circumstances that may hereafter develop.
This
opinion is given to you for your sole benefit, and no other person or entity
is
entitled to rely hereon except that the purchaser or purchasers to which you
initially and directly resell the Mortgage Loans may rely on this opinion as
if
it were addressed to them as of the date of this opinion.
Very
truly yours,
