The

is
a per
annum
variable rate equal to the Group I WAC Cap.

The
Group
I Lower-Tier REMIC shall hold as assets all of the Group I Lower-Tier REMIC
Regular Interests.
On
each
Distribution Date, 50% of the increase in the Overcollateralized Amount with
respect to the Group I Certificates will be payable as a reduction of the Group
I Lower-Tier Principal Amount of the Group I LT-Accretion Directed Classes
(each
such Class will be reduced by an amount equal to 50% of any increase in the
related Overcollateralized Amount that is attributable to a reduction in the
Class Certificate Balance of its Corresponding Class) and will be accrued and
added to the Group I Lower-Tier Principal Amount of the Group I Class LT-Accrual
Interest. On each Distribution Date, the increase in the Group I Lower-Tier
Principal Amount of the Group I Class LT-Accrual Interest may not exceed
interest accruals for such Distribution Date for the Group I Class LT-Accrual
Interest. In the event that: (i) 50% of the increase in the applicable
Overcollateralized Amount exceeds (ii) interest accruals on the Group I Class
LT-Accrual Interest for such Distribution Date, the excess for such Distribution
Date (accumulated with all such excesses for all prior Distribution Dates)
will
be added to any increase in the applicable Overcollateralized Amount for
purposes of determining the amount of interest accrual on the Group I Class
LT-Accrual Interest payable as principal on the Group I LT-Accretion Directed
Classes on the next Distribution Date pursuant to the first sentence of this
paragraph. All payments of scheduled principal and prepayments of principal
generated by the Group I Mortgage Loans shall be allocated (i) 50% to the Group
I Class LT-Accrual Interest and (ii) 50% to the Group I LT-Accretion Directed
Classes (principal payments shall be allocated among such Group I LT-Accretion
Directed Classes in an amount equal to 50% of the principal amounts allocated
to
their respective Corresponding Classes), until paid in full. Notwithstanding
the
above, principal payments allocated to the Class 1X Interest that result in
the
reduction in the applicable Overcollateralized Amount shall be allocated to
the
Group I Class LT-Accrual Interest (until paid in full). Realized Losses with
respect to the Group I Mortgage Loans shall be applied so that after all
distributions have been made on each Distribution Date (i) the Group I
Lower-Tier Principal Amount of each of the Group I LT-Accretion Directed Classes
is equal to 50% of the Class Certificate Balance of its Corresponding Class,
and
(ii) the Group I Class LT-Accrual Interest is equal to 50% of the aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of the Group I Mortgage Loans plus 50% of the
applicable Overcollateralized Amount.

In
addition to issuing the Group I Lower-Tier Regular Interests, the Group I
Lower-Tier REMIC shall issue the Class LT-1R Interest which shall be the sole
class of residual interests in the Group I Lower-Tier REMIC. The Class 1RC
Certificates will represent ownership of the Class LT-1R Interest and will
be
issued as a single certificate in definitive form in a principal amount of
$100
and shall have no interest rate. Amounts received by the Class LT-1R Interest
shall be deemed paid from the Group I Lower-Tier REMIC.
The
Group
I Upper-Tier REMIC
The
Group

The
Class 1X Interest will have a principal balance to the extent of
any
Overcollateralized Amount with respect to the Group I Certificates.
The
Class 1X Interest will not accrue interest on such balance but
will accrue
interest on a notional principal balance. As of any Distribution
Date, the
Class 1X Interest shall have a notional principal balance equal
to the
aggregate of the principal balances of the Group I Lower-Tier Regular
Interests as of the first day of the related Interest Accrual Period.
With
respect to any Interest Accrual Period, the Class 1X Interest shall
bear
interest at a rate equal to the excess, if any, of the Group I
WAC Cap
over the product of (i) two (2) and (ii) the weighted average Group
I
Lower-Tier Interest Rate of the Group I Lower-Tier Regular Interests,
where the Group I Lower-Tier Interest Rates on the Group I Class
LT-Accrual Interest is subject to a cap equal to zero and each
Group I
LT-Accretion Directed Class is subject to a cap equal to the Pass-Through
Rate on its Corresponding Class. With respect to any Distribution
Date,
interest that so accrues on the notional principal balance of the
Class 1X
Interest shall be deferred in an amount equal to any increase in
the
Overcollateralized Amount with respect to the Group I Certificates
on such
Distribution Date. Such deferred interest shall not itself bear
interest.
The Class 1X Certificates will represent beneficial ownership of
a regular
interest issued by the Class 1X REMIC and amounts in the Excess
Reserve
Fund Account, subject to the obligation to make payments from the
Excess
Reserve Fund Account in respect of any related Basis Risk Carry
Forward
Amounts. For federal income tax purposes, the Securities Administrator
will treat the Class 1X Certificateholders’ obligation to make payments
from the Excess Reserve Fund Account as payments made pursuant
to an
interest rate cap contract written by the Class 1X Certificateholders
in
favor of each Class of Group I Principal Certificates. Such rights
of the
Class 1X Certificateholders and Group I Principal Certificateholders
shall
be treated as held in a portion of the Trust Fund that is treated
as a
grantor trust under subpart E, Part I of subchapter J of the
Code.
|

|
(23)
|
Each
of these Group I Certificates will represent not only the ownership
of the
Corresponding Class of Group I Upper-Tier Regular Interest but
also the
right to receive payments from the Excess Reserve Fund Account
in respect
of any related Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts. For federal income
tax
purposes, the Securities Administrator will treat a Certificateholder’s
right to receive payments from the Excess Reserve Fund Account
as payments
made pursuant to an interest rate cap contract written by the Class
1X
Certificateholders.
|
In
addition to issuing the Group I Upper-Tier Regular Interests, the Group I
Upper-Tier REMIC shall issue the Class 1R Certificates, which shall be the
sole
class of residual interests in the Group I Upper-Tier REMIC. The Class 1R
Certificates will be issued as a single certificate in definitive form in a
principal amount of $100 and shall have no interest rate. Amounts received
by
the Class 1R Certificates shall be deemed paid from the Group I Upper-Tier
REMIC.
Class
1X REMIC
The
Class
1X REMIC shall issue the following classes of interests. The Class 1X
Certificates shall represent a regular interest in the Class 1X REMIC and the
Class 1RX Certificates shall represent the sole class of residual interest
in
the Class 1X REMIC.

The

The
foregoing REMIC structure is intended to cause all of the cash from the Group
I
Mortgage Loans to flow through to the Group I Upper-Tier REMIC and the Class
1X
REMIC as cash flow on a REMIC regular interest, without creating any actual
or
potential shortfall (other than for credit losses) to any Group I Trust REMIC
regular interest. It is not intended that the Class 1R, Class 1RC or Class
1RX
Certificates be entitled to any cash flow pursuant to this Agreement except
as
provided in Section 4.01(a)(ii)(A)(1) hereunder.
For
any
purpose for which the Pass-Through Rates are calculated, the interest rate
on
the Group I Mortgage Loans shall be appropriately adjusted to account for the
difference between the monthly day count convention of the Group I Mortgage
Loans and the monthly day count convention of the regular interests issued
by
each of the REMICs of the related Group. For purposes of calculating the
Pass-Through Rates for each of the interests issued by the Group I Lower-Tier
REMIC such rates shall be adjusted to equal a monthly day count convention
based
on a 30 day month for each Due Period and a 360-day year so that the Group
I
Mortgage Loans and all regular interests will be using the same monthly day
count convention.

The
minimum denomination for each Class of the Group I Offered Certificates will
be
$50,000 initial Certificate Balance, with integral multiples of $1 in excess
thereof except that one Certificate in each Class may be issued in a different
amount. The minimum denomination for (a) the Class 1R and Class 1RC Certificates
will each be $100 and each will be a 100% Percentage Interest in such Class,
(b)
the Class 1RX Certificates will be a 100% Percentage Interest in such Class,
(c)
the Class 1P Certificates will be a $10 initial notional balance, with integral
multiples of $1 in excess thereof and (d) the Class 1X Certificates will be
equal to 10% of their initial notional balance, with integral multiples of
$1 in
excess thereof.

Each
such Class, other than the Class LT-Support Interests, will have
an
initial principal balance equal to the product of: (i) 50% and (ii)
the
excess of (a) the notional balance of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement
in
respect of the Group II Certificates for the Distribution Date whose
ordinal number equals the cardinal number of the designated Class,
over
(b) the notional balance of such Interest Rate Swap Agreement for
the
subsequent Distribution Date. Scheduled principal, prepayments and
Realized Losses with respect to the Group II Mortgage Loans will
be
allocated first, to the Class LT-Support Interests (and among such
Interests as described in Note 3 below), and second among the other
Classes designated “LT-”, first, sequentially to the Class having the
lowest cardinal number following such designation, in each case until
reduced to zero, and second, among each class having the same cardinal
number pro rata between each such class.
|

On
each Distribution Date, the interest rate will be the Weighted Average
of
the Adjusted Net Mortgage Rates then in effect on the beginning of
the
related Due Period on the Group II Mortgage Loans (“Group II Pool
WAC”).
|
|
(3)
|
On
each Distribution Date, following the allocation of Principal Amounts
and
Realized Losses with respect to the Group II Mortgage Loans, the
principal
balance in respect of the Class LT-Support Interest-Y will equal
the
lesser of: (i) the sum of the principal balance of the Class 2B3
Certificates and the Overcollateralized Amount and (ii) the excess,
if
any, of the principal balance of the Group II Mortgage Loans over
the
principal balance in respect of the remaining Group II Lower-Tier
REMIC
Interests other than the Class LT-Support-X Interests for the immediately
preceding Distribution Date, and the Class LT-Support-X Interests
will
equal the excess, if any, of the principal balance of the Mortgage
Loans
over the principal balance in respect of the remaining Group II Lower
Tier
REMIC Interests.

In
addition to issuing the Group II Lower-Tier Regular Interests, the Group II
Lower-Tier REMIC shall issue the Class 2R1 Interest which shall be the sole
class of residual interests in the Group II Lower-Tier REMIC. The Class 2RC
Certificates will represent ownership of the Class 2R1 Interest and will be
issued as a single certificate in definitive form in a principal amount of
$100
and shall have no interest rate. Amounts received by the Class 2R1 Interest
shall be deemed paid from the Group II Lower-Tier REMIC.

The
interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date for these interests
will equal the weighted average of the pass through rates of the
Group II
Lower-Tier REMIC Interests (excluding the Group II Class LT-Support-Y
Interest) treating: (i) each “2A” class (e.g. LT-2A1A,
LT-2A1B, LT-2A1A…) as subject to a cap and a floor equal to the product
of: (i) 2 and (ii) the excess, if any, of Pool WAC over the fixed
rate
payable to the Swap Provider by the Trust for such Distribution
Date, and
(ii) each “2B” class (e.g. LT-2B1, LT-2B2, LT-2B3…) as subject to a cap
and a floor rate equal to the product of: (i) 2 and (ii) the least
of (a)
One Month LIBOR, (b) the Pool WAC, and (c) the fixed rate payable
to the
Swap Provider by the Trust for such Distribution Date, in each
case whose
cardinal number preceding such designation (e.g. -1, -2, -3,…) is not
exceeded by the ordinal number of the Distribution Date following
the
Closing Date (e.g. first, second, third,…) for such Distribution Date (the
“Tax Group II WAC Cap”).
|
17
|
(2)
|
The
interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date for these interests
will equal the Pool WAC.
|
|
(3)
|
For
each Distribution Date, the interest rate will equal the excess
of the
fixed rate payable to the Swap Provider by the Trust for such Distribution
Date subject to a cap equal to the Pool WAC over one month LIBOR
on a
notional balance equal to the sum of the principal balances of
each Group
II Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interests whose cardinal number following
such
designation (e.g. -1, -2, -3,…) is not exceeded by the ordinal number of
the Distribution Date following the Closing Date (e.g. first, second,
third,…) for such Distribution Date.
|
The
Group
II Middle-Tier REMIC shall hold as assets all of the Group II Middle-Tier REMIC
Regular Interests.
On
each
Distribution Date, 50% of the increase in the Overcollateralized Amount with
respect to the Group II Certificates will be payable as a reduction of the
Group
II Middle-Tier Principal Amount of the Group II MT-Accretion Directed Classes
(each such Class will be reduced by an amount equal to 50% of any increase
in
the Overcollateralized Amount with respect to the Group II Certificates that
is
attributable to a reduction in the Class Certificate Balance of its
Corresponding Class) and will be accrued and added to the Group II Middle-Tier
Principal Amount of the Group II Class MT-Accrual Interest. On each Distribution
Date, the increase in the Group II Middle-Tier Principal Amount of the Group
II
Class MT-Accrual Interest may not exceed interest accruals for such Distribution
Date for the Group II Class MT-Accrual Interest. In the event that: (i) 50%
of
the increase in the Overcollateralized Amount with
respect to the Group II Certificates exceeds
(ii) interest accruals on the Group II Class MT-Accrual Interest for such
Distribution Date, the excess for such Distribution Date (accumulated with
all
such excesses for all prior Distribution Dates) will be added to any increase
in
the Overcollateralized Amount with respect to the Group II Certificates for
purposes of determining the amount of interest accrual on the Group II Class
MT-Accrual Interest payable as principal on the Group II MT-Accretion Directed
Classes on the next Distribution Date pursuant to the first sentence of this
paragraph. All payments of scheduled principal and prepayments of principal
generated by the Group II Mortgage Loans shall be allocated (i) 50% to the
Group
II Class MT-Accrual Interest and (ii) 50% to the Group II MT-Accretion Directed
Classes (principal payments shall be allocated among such Group II MT-Accretion
Directed Classes in an amount equal to 50% of the principal amounts allocated
to
their respective Corresponding Classes), until paid in full. Notwithstanding
the
above, principal payments allocated to the Class 2X Interest that result in
the
reduction in the Overcollateralized Amount with respect to the Group II
Certificates shall be allocated to the Group II Class MT-Accrual Interest (until
paid in full). Realized Losses shall be applied so that after all distributions
have been made on each Distribution Date (i) the Group II Middle-Tier Principal
Amount of each of the Group II MT-Accretion Directed Classes is equal to 50%
of
the Class Certificate Balance of its Corresponding Class, and (ii) the Group
II
Class MT-Accrual Interest are equal to 50% of the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Group II Mortgage Loans plus 50% of the Overcollateralized Amount
with respect to the Group II Certificates.
In
addition to issuing the Group II Middle-Tier Regular Interests, the Group II
Middle-Tier REMIC shall issue the Class 2R2 Interest which shall be the sole
class of residual interests in the Group II Middle-Tier REMIC. The Class 2RC
Certificates will represent ownership of the Class 2R2 Interest and will be
issued as a single certificate in definitive form in a principal amount of
$100
and shall have no interest rate. Amounts received by the Class 2R2 Interest
shall be deemed paid from the Group II Middle-Tier REMIC.

The

The
Class 2X Interest will have a principal balance to the extent of
any
Overcollateralized Amount with respect to the Group II Certificates.
The
Class 2X Interest will not accrue interest on such balance but will
accrue
interest on a notional principal balance. As of any Distribution
Date, the
Class 2X Interest shall have a notional principal balance equal to
the
aggregate of the principal balances of the Group
II Middle-Tier
Regular Interests as of the first day of the related Interest Accrual
Period. With respect to any Interest Accrual Period, the Class 2X
Interest
shall bear interest at a rate equal to the excess, if any, of the
Tax
Group II WAC Cap over the product of (i) 2 and (ii) the weighted
average
Group II Middle-Tier Interest Rate of the Middle-Tier Regular Interests,
where the Group II Middle-Tier Interest Rates on the Group II Class
MT-Accrual Interest is subject to a cap equal to zero and each Group
II
MT-Accretion Directed Class is subject to a cap equal to the Pass-Through
Rate on its Corresponding Class. With respect to any Distribution
Date,
interest that so accrues on the notional principal balance of the
Class 2X
Interest shall be deferred in an amount equal to any increase in
the
Overcollateralized Amount on such Distribution Date. Such deferred
interest shall not itself bear interest. The Class 2X Certificates
will
represent beneficial ownership of a regular interest issued by the
Class
2X REMIC, the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, the Supplemental Interest
Trust and amounts in the Excess Reserve Fund Account allocated to
the
Group II Certificates and the Supplemental Interest Trust, subject
to the
obligation to make payments from the Excess Reserve Fund Account
in
respect of Tax Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts. For federal income
tax
purposes, the Securities Administrator will treat the Class 2X
Certificateholders’ obligation to make payments from the Excess Reserve
Fund Account and the Supplemental Interest Trust as payments made
pursuant
to an interest rate cap contract written by the Class 2X
Certificateholders in favor of each Class of Group II LIBOR Certificates.
Such rights of the Class 2X Certificateholders and Group II LIBOR
Certificateholders shall be treated as held in a portion of the Trust
Fund
that is treated as a grantor trust under subpart E, Part I of subchapter
J
of the Code.

|
Each
of the Group II Certificates will bear interest at a pass through
rate
equal to the pass through rate in respect of its Corresponding Class
substituting the term “Group II WAC Cap” for each reference to “Tax Group
II WAC Cap”. Each of these Group II Certificates will represent not only
the ownership of the Corresponding Class of Group II Upper-Tier Regular
Interest but also the right to receive payments from the Excess Reserve
Fund Account and the Supplemental Interest Trust in respect of any
Basis
Risk Carry Forward Amounts excluding for this purpose , any amount
attributable to the excess of the REMIC Cap over the Pass-Through
Rate of
the related Class of Group II Certificates (“Tax
Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts”).
For federal income tax purposes, the Securities Administrator will
treat a
Group II Certificateholder’s right to receive payments from the Excess
Reserve Fund Account and the Supplemental Interest Trust as payments
made
pursuant to an interest rate cap contract written by the Class 2X
Certificateholders.

For
each Distribution Date, 100% of the cash flow in respect of the Class
MT-Swap IO Interest. The Class 2X Certificates will be entitled to
100% of
the cash flow in respect of the Class UT-Swap IO Interest.
|
Each
of
these Group II Certificates will also be subject to the obligation to pay Class
IO Shortfalls as described in Section 8.14. For federal income tax purposes,
any
distribution of Tax Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts shall be treated as having
been paid from the Excess Reserve Fund Account or the Supplemental Interest
Trust, as applicable, and any excess of the pass through rates of the
Certificates subject to the Tax Group II WAC Cap over the amount distributable
on such Class of Group II Upper Tier REMIC Interests on such Distribution Date
shall be treated as having been paid to the Supplemental Interest Trust, all
pursuant to, and as further provided in, Section 8.14. The Securities
Administrator will treat a Group II Certificateholder’s right to receive
payments from the Excess Reserve Fund Account and the Supplemental Interest
Trust as payments made pursuant to an interest rate cap contract written by
the
Class 2X Certificateholders.
In
addition to issuing the Group II Upper-Tier Regular Interests, the Group II
Upper-Tier REMIC shall issue the Class 2R Certificates, which shall be the
sole
class of residual interests in the Group II Upper-Tier REMIC. The Class 2R
Certificates will be issued as a single certificate in definitive form in a
principal amount of $100 and shall have no interest rate. Amounts received
by
the Class 2R Certificates shall be deemed paid from the Group II Upper-Tier
REMIC.
Class
2X REMIC
The
Class
2X REMIC shall issue the following classes of interests. The Class 2X
Certificates shall represent a regular interest in the Class 2X REMIC and the
Class 2RX Certificates shall represent the sole class of residual interest
in
the Class 2X REMIC.

The

on the Class 2X Interest and the Class UT-Swap-IO Interest on each
Distribution Date.

In
addition to issuing the Class 2X Certificates, the Class 2X REMIC shall issue
the Class 2RX Certificates which shall be the sole class of residual interests
in the Class 2X REMIC. The Class 2RX Certificates will be issued as a single
certificate in definitive form in a principal amount of $100 and shall have
no
interest rate. Amounts received by the Class 2RX Certificates shall be deemed

The
foregoing REMIC structure is intended to cause all of the cash from the Group
II
Mortgage Loans to flow through to the Group II Upper-Tier REMIC as cash flow
on
a REMIC regular interest, without creating any actual or potential shortfall
(other than for credit losses) to any Group II Trust REMIC regular interest.
It
is not intended that the Class 2R, Class 2RC or Class 2RX Certificates be
entitled to any cash flow pursuant to this Agreement except as provided in
Section 4.02(a)(ii)(A)(1) hereunder.
For
any
purpose for which the Pass-Through Rates are calculated, the interest rate
on
the Group II Mortgage Loans shall be appropriately adjusted to account for
the
difference between the monthly day count convention of the Group II Mortgage
Loans and the monthly day count convention of the regular interests issued
by
each of the REMICs. For purposes of calculating the Pass-Through Rates for
each
of the interests issued by the Group II Lower-Tier REMIC and the Group II
Middle-Tier REMIC such rates shall be adjusted to equal a monthly day count
convention based on a 30 day month for each Due Period and a 360-day year so
that the Group II Mortgage Loans and all regular interests will be using the
same monthly day count convention.
The
minimum denomination for each Class of the Group II Offered Certificates will
be
$50,000 initial Certificate Balance, with integral multiples of $1 in excess
thereof except that one Certificate in each Class may be issued in a different
amount. The minimum denomination for (a) the Class 2R and Class 2RC Certificates
will each be $100 and each will be a 100% Percentage Interest in such Class,
(b)
the Class 2RX Certificates will be a 100% Percentage Interest in such Class,
(c)
the Class 2P Certificates will be a $10 initial notional balance, with integral
multiples of $1 in excess thereof and (d) the Class 2X Certificates will be
equal to 10% of their initial notional balance, with integral multiples of
$1 in
excess thereof.

Each

review as required herein, or based upon notification from the Master Servicer
(who shall be entitled to rely on information regarding any such defaults by
a
Responsible Party that has been provided by the applicable Servicer for purposes
of providing such notification to the Trustee), by notifying the applicable
Responsible Party to correct or cure such default. In its capacity as “Assignee”
under the Step 2 Assignment Agreements, the Trustee shall also enforce the
obligation of the Responsible Parties under the Sale Agreements, and to the
extent applicable, of any Servicer under the Servicing Agreements, and of the
Purchaser under the Step 1 Assignment Agreements to cure or repurchase Mortgage
Loans for which there is a defect or a breach of a representation or warranty

Trustee obtains actual knowledge that any Servicer, any Responsible Party or
the
Purchaser, as the case may be, fails or is unable to correct or cure the defect
or breach within the period set forth in the applicable agreement, the Trustee
shall notify the Depositor of such failure to correct or cure. Unless otherwise
directed by the Depositor within five (5) Business Days after notifying the
Depositor of such failure by the applicable party to correct or cure, the
Trustee shall notify such party to repurchase the Mortgage Loan. If, within
ten
(10) Business Days of receipt of such notice by such party, such party fails

failure. The Trustee shall pursue all legal remedies available to the Trustee
against the Servicers, the Responsible Parties and the Purchaser, as applicable,
under this Agreement, if the Trustee has received written notice from the
Depositor directing the Trustee to pursue such remedies and the Trustee shall
be
entitled to reimbursement from the Trust Fund for any reasonable expenses
incurred in pursuing such remedies.

provided, that Net Swap Payment Amounts shall only be distributed to the holders
of the Floating Rate Certificates)) to pay to such Class or Classes of Group

Certificates the related Basis Risk Carry Forward Amount. Such payments shall

allocated to those Classes of Group II Certificates based upon the amount of

and shall be paid in the priority set forth in Section

The
Securities Administrator shall account for the Excess Reserve Fund Account
as an
asset of a grantor trust under subpart E, Part I of subchapter J of the Code
and
not as an asset of any Trust REMIC created pursuant to this Agreement. For
all
federal income tax purposes, (a) amounts transferred to the Excess Reserve
Fund
Account to pay Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts in respect of the Group I
Certificates shall be treated as distributions by the Securities Administrator
to the Class 1X Certificates and then contributed by the Class 1X
Certificateholders to the Excess Reserve Fund Account, and (b) amounts
transferred to the Excess Reserve Fund Account to pay Tax Basis Risk Carry
Forward Amounts in respect of the Group II Certificates shall be treated as
distributions by the Securities Administrator to the Class 2X Certificates
and
then contributed by the Class 2X Certificateholders to the Excess Reserve Fund
Account. The Class 1X and Class 2X Certificateholders will be the beneficial
owners of the portions of the Excess Reserve Fund Account that correspond to
their respective obligations to make payments of Tax Basis Risk Carry Forward
Amounts.
Any
Tax
Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts distributed by the Securities Administrator
to
the Principal Certificateholders shall be accounted for by the Securities
Administrator, for federal income tax purposes, as amounts paid first to the
Holders of the related Class 1X and Class 2X Certificates and then to the
respective Class or Classes of Principal Certificates in accordance with the
priority of payments in this Section 3.01. In addition, the Securities
Administrator shall account for the Principal Certificateholders’ rights to
receive payments of Tax Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts as rights in a limited
recourse interest rate cap contract written by each of the Class 1X and the
Class 2X Certificateholders in favor of the Holders of each related Class of
Principal Certificates.
Notwithstanding
any provision contained in this Agreement, the Securities Administrator shall
not be required to make any distributions from the Excess Reserve Fund Account
except as expressly set forth in this Section 3.01(a).
(a)The
Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain the Distribution Account
on behalf of the Certificateholders. The amount remitted by the Servicer to
the
Master Servicer on each Remittance Date shall be credited to the Distribution
Account within two (2) Business Days once the amounts are identified as a
remittance in connection with the Trust and reconciled to the reports provided
by the Servicer. The Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain
the
Distribution Account on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer
shall, promptly upon receipt on the Business Day received, deposit in the
Distribution Account and retain therein the following:
(i)the
aggregate amount remitted by the Servicers to the Master Servicer pursuant
to
the Servicing Agreements;
80
(ii)any
amounts remitted as a result of the operation of the Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy, if applicable;
(iii)any
Net
Swap Receipt Amounts or Swap Termination Payments (other than amounts received
pursuant to an ISDA Credit Support Annex negotiated between the Trust and the
Swap Provider) remitted by the Swap Provider; and
(iv)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
pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement, and such Servicer directs the
Master Servicer in writing to withdraw such amount from the Distribution
Account, the Master Servicer shall return such funds to the applicable Servicer.
All funds deposited in the Distribution Account shall be held by the Securities
Administrator in trust for the Certificateholders until disbursed in accordance
with this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with Section 4.01 or 4.02, as
applicable.
(c) From
time
to time, the Securities Administrator may also establish any other accounts
for
the purposes of carrying out its duties hereunder (including, without
limitation, any account necessary under the Interest Rate Swap
Agreement).
Section
3.02Investment
of Funds in the Distribution Account.
(a)
Other than during the Master Servicer Float Period, the Depositor shall direct
the investment of funds held in the Distribution Account in one or more
Permitted Investments. Absent such direction, the Securities Administrator
shall
invest such funds during such period in the Xxxxx Fargo Advantage Prime
Investment Money Market Fund or any successor fund so long as such fund is
a
Permitted Investment. The Securities Administrator may (but shall not be
obligated to) invest funds in the Distribution Account during the Master
Servicer Float Period (for purposes of this Section 3.02, such Account is
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, or maturing on such Distribution Date,
in
the case of an investment that is an obligation of Xxxxx Fargo, 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. All such Permitted
Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment
of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Securities
Administrator. The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to sole possession
over each such investment, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing
any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Securities Administrator
or its agent, together with any document of transfer necessary to transfer
title
to such investment to the Securities Administrator. In the event amounts on
deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted
Investment payable on demand, the Securities Administrator 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
|
81
|
(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 the Investment Account.
|
(b)All
income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the
Distribution Account held by the Securities Administrator during the Master
Servicer Float Period shall be subject to the Securities Administrator’s
withdrawal in the manner set forth in Section 10.05.
(c)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 Securities
Administrator shall take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such
payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate
proceedings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Depositor shall be liable to
the
Trust for any loss on any investment of funds in the Distribution Account other
than during the Master Servicer Float Period and the Securities Administrator
shall be liable to the Trust for any such loss on any funds it has invested
under this Section 3.02 only during the Master Servicer Float Period, and the
Depositor or the Securities Administrator, as the case may be, shall deposit
funds in the amount of such loss in the Distribution Account promptly after
such
loss is incurred.
(d)The
Securities Administrator or its Affiliates are permitted to receive additional
compensation that could be deemed to be in the Securities Administrator’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 is not payable or reimbursable under
Section 8.06 of this Agreement.
(e)In
order
to comply with its duties under the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, BNY, U.S. Bank
and
Xxxxx Fargo, each as a Custodian, may obtain and verify certain information
and
documentation from the other parties to this Agreement including, but not
limited to, each such party’s name, address and other identifying
information.
(f)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, Deutsche Bank as Trustee and a Custodian is required to obtain,
verify and record certain information relating to individuals and entities
which
maintain a business relationship with Deutsche Bank. Accordingly, each of the
parties agrees to provide to Deutsche Bank 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.

Section
4.04Allocation
of Applied Realized Loss Amounts.
Any
Applied Realized Loss Amounts for any Group of Mortgage Loans will be allocated
to the most junior Class of Subordinated Certificates of the related Group
then
outstanding in reduction of the Class Certificate Balance thereof. In the event,
Applied Realized Loss Amounts are allocated to any Class of Certificates, their
Class Certificate Balance shall be reduced by the amount so allocated and no
funds shall be distributed with respect to the written down amounts or with
respect to interest or Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts for such Group of
Certificates on the written down amounts on that Distribution Date or any future
Distribution Dates, even if funds are otherwise available therefor.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Class Certificate Balance of each Class of Subordinated
Certificates that has been previously reduced by Applied Realized Loss Amounts
will be increased, in the order of seniority, by the amount of the Subsequent
Recoveries (but not in excess of the Applied Realized Loss Amount allocated
to
the applicable Class of Subordinated Certificates).
Section
4.05Certain
Matters Relating to the Determination of LIBOR.
LIBOR
shall be calculated by the Securities Administrator in accordance with the
definition of “LIBOR.”
Until
all of the LIBOR Certificates are paid in full, the Securities Administrator
will at all times retain at least four (4) Reference Banks for the purpose
of
determining LIBOR with respect to each LIBOR Determination Date. The Securities
Administrator 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 Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator should
terminate its appointment as Reference Bank, the Securities Administrator shall
promptly appoint or cause to be appointed another Reference Bank (after
consultation with the Depositor). The Securities Administrator 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.
99
The
Pass-Through Rate for each Class of LIBOR Certificates for each Interest Accrual
Period shall be determined by the Securities Administrator on each LIBOR
Determination Date so long as the LIBOR Certificates are outstanding on the
basis of LIBOR and the respective formulae appearing in footnotes corresponding
to the LIBOR Certificates in the table relating to the Certificates in the
Preliminary Statement. The Securities Administrator 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 4.05 and the definition of LIBOR. The establishment of LIBOR
and
each Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR Certificates by the Securities
Administrator shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final, conclusive
and
binding upon each Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee.
Section
4.06Supplemental
Interest Trust.
On the
Closing Date, the Depositor does hereby establish, pursuant to the further
provisions of this Agreement and the laws of the State of New York, the
Supplemental Interest Trust and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company is hereby
appointed as Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement. On the Closing Date, the Securities Administrator
on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust shall establish and maintain in
its
name a separate non-interest bearing trust account (the “Supplemental
Interest Trust Account”),
which
will be a separate account, for the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates
as a part of the Supplemental Interest Trust. The Supplemental Interest Trust
shall hold the Interest Rate Swap Agreement. The Supplemental Interest Trust
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 Payment Amounts owed
to
the Swap Provider and Net Swap Receipt Amounts for that Distribution Date will
be deposited into the Supplemental Interest Trust. Funds in the Supplemental
Interest Trust will be distributed in the following order of
priority:
(i)to
the
Swap Provider, the sum of (x) all Net Swap Payment Amounts and (y) any Swap
Termination Payment, other than a Defaulted Swap Termination Payment, to the
Swap Provider, if any, owed for that Distribution Date;
(ii)to
the
holders of the Group II Certificates, to pay Accrued Certificate Interest and,
if applicable, any Unpaid Interest Amounts as described in clause (i) of Section
4.02(a), to the extent unpaid from other Available Funds (solely with respect
to
the Group II Certificates);
100
(iii)to
the
holders of the Group II Certificates, to pay principal as described in clause
(ii)(A) and clause (ii)(B) of Section 4.02(a), but only to the extent necessary
to maintain the Overcollateralized Amount at the Specified Overcollateralized
Amount as a result of current of prior Realized Losses not previously
reimbursed, after giving effect to payments and distributions from other
Available Funds (solely with respect to the Group II Certificates);
(iv)to
the
holders of the Group II Certificates, to pay Unpaid Interest Amounts and Basis
Risk Carry Forward Amounts as described in clauses (iii)(A) through (iii)(I)
and
clauses (iii)(K) through (iii)(L) of Section 4.02(a), to the extent unpaid
from
other Available Funds (solely with respect to the Group II Certificates)
(including funds on deposit in the Excess Reserve Fund Account);
(v)to
the
Swap Provider, any Defaulted Swap Termination Payment owed to the Swap Provider
for that Distribution Date; and
(vi)to
the
holders of the Class 2X Certificates, any remaining amounts.
Upon
termination of the Trust, any amounts remaining in the Supplemental Interest
Trust shall be distributed pursuant to the priorities set forth in this Section
4.06.
The
Securities Administrator shall account for the Supplemental Interest Trust
as an
asset of a grantor trust under subpart E, Part I of subchapter J of the Code
and
not as an asset of any Trust REMIC created pursuant to this Agreement. The
beneficial owners of the Supplemental Interest Trust are the Class 2X
Certificateholders. For federal income tax purposes, Net Swap Payment Amounts
and Swap Termination Payments payable to the Swap Provider shall be deemed
to be
paid to the Supplemental Interest Trust first, by the Holder of the Class 2X
Certificates and second, other than any Defaulted Swap Termination Payment,
from
the Group II Upper-Tier REMIC by the Holders of the applicable Class or Classes
of Group II Certificates as and to the extent provided in Section

Any
Tax
Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts (defined solely for this purpose as any excess
of monies received for such Distribution Date over the Group II REMIC Cap)
distributed by the Securities Administrator to the Group II Principal
Certificateholders shall be accounted for by the Securities Administrator,
for
federal income tax purposes, as amounts paid first to the Holders of the Class
2X Certificates and (to the extent remaining after payments to the Swap
Provider) then to the respective Class or Classes of Group II Certificates.
In
addition, the Securities Administrator shall account for the rights of Holders
of each Class of Group II Principal Certificates to receive payments of Tax
Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts (defined solely for this purpose as any excess
of monies received for such Distribution Date over the Group II REMIC Cap)
from
the Supplemental Interest Trust (along with Tax Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts
(defined solely for this purpose as any excess of monies received for such
Distribution Date over the Group II REMIC Cap) payable from the Excess Reserve
Fund Account with respect to the Group II Certificates) as rights in a separate
limited recourse interest rate cap contract written by the Class 2X
Certificateholders in favor of Holders of each such Class.
101
The
Supplemental Interest Trust shall be an “outside reserve fund” for federal
income tax purposes and will not be an asset of any Group II Trust REMIC.
Furthermore, the Holders of the Class 2X Certificates shall be the beneficial
owners of the Supplemental Interest Trust for all federal income tax purposes,
and shall be taxable on all income earned thereon.
Section
4.07Trust’s
Obligations under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement; Replacement and Termination
of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement.
(a) Upon
the
Securities Administrator obtaining actual knowledge of the rating of the Swap
Provider falling below the Required Hedge Counterparty Rating (as defined in
the
Interest Rate Swap Agreement), the Securities Administrator, acting at the
written direction of the Depositor, shall attempt to negotiate an ISDA Credit
Support Annex (as defined in the Interest Rate Swap Agreement) with the Swap
Provider that meets the terms of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement. If an ISDA
Credit Support Annex is negotiated, the Securities Administrator, acting at
the
written direction of the Depositor, shall set up an account in accordance with
Section 3.01(c) to hold cash or other eligible investments pledged under such
ISDA Credit Support Annex. Any cash or other eligible investments pledged under
an ISDA Credit Support Annex shall not be part of the Distribution Account,
the
Excess Reserve Fund Account or the Supplemental Interest Trust unless they
are
applied in accordance with such ISDA Credit Support Annex to make a payment
due
to the Trust pursuant to the Interest Rate Swap Agreement.
(b) Upon
the
Securities Administrator obtaining actual knowledge of an Event of Default
(as
defined in the Interest Rate Swap Agreement) or Termination Event (as defined
in
the Interest Rate Swap Agreement) for which the Trust has the right to designate
an Early Termination Date (as defined in the Interest Rate Swap Agreement),
the
Securities Administrator will act at the written direction of the Depositor
as
to whether it will designate an Early Termination Date; provided,
however,
that
the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trust, shall provide written
notice to each Rating Agency following the Event of Default or Termination
Event. Upon the termination of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement under the
circumstances contemplated by this Section 4.07(b), the Securities
Administrator, on behalf of the Trust, shall use its reasonable best efforts
to
enforce the rights of the Trust and the Trustee thereunder as may be permitted
by the terms of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement and consistent with the terms
hereof, and shall apply the proceeds of any such efforts to enter into a
replacement interest rate swap agreement with another swap provider. To the
extent such replacement interest rate swap agreement can be entered into, any
termination payments received by the Trust in respect of the terminated interest
rate swap agreement shall be used, to the extent necessary, by the Trust for
the
purpose of entering into such replacement interest rate swap
agreement.
(c) Notwithstanding
all other provisions in this Agreement, in the event that the Supplemental
Interest Trust, at the direction of the Depositor, enters into a replacement
interest rate swap agreement and the Supplemental Interest Trust is entitled
to
receive a payment from a replacement swap provider (such payment, a
“Replacement
Swap Provider Payment”),
the
Securities Administrator on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust shall
deposit such Replacement Swap Provider Payment into the Supplemental Interest
Trust Account and pay to the Swap Provider the lesser of (x) the amount so
received and (y) any Swap Termination Payment owed to the Swap Provider (to
the
extent not already paid by the Supplemental Interest Trust) that is being
replaced immediately upon receipt of the Replacement Swap Provider Payment,
regardless of whether the date of receipt thereof is a Distribution Date;
provided
that to
the extent that the Replacement Swap Provider Payment is less than the Swap
Termination Payment owed to the Swap Provider that is being replaced, any
remaining amounts will be paid to the Swap Provider on the subsequent
Distribution Date (unless the Replacement Swap Provider Payment is paid to
the
Swap Provider on a Distribution Date, in which case such remaining amounts
will
be paid on such Distribution Date) in accordance with Section 4.06
of this
Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the Swap Provider
shall have first priority to any Replacement Swap Provider Payment (to the
extent that the Swap Provider is owed a Swap Termination Payment from the
Supplemental Interest Trust) over the payment of all or any portion of such
Replacement Swap Provider Payment by the Trust or the Supplemental Interest
Trust to Certificateholders, the Servicer, the Trustee or any other
Person.
102
(d) The
Securities Administrator or Trustee shall deliver or cause to be delivered
the
federal taxpayer identification number of the Supplemental Interest Trust on
a
correct, complete and duly executed IRS Form W-9 of the Supplemental Interest
Trust to the Swap Provider promptly after execution of the Interest Rate Swap
Agreement but no later than the first Distribution Date and thereafter, promptly
upon actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Securities Administer
that
such previously provided form is obsolete or incorrect and, if requested by
the
Swap Provider, an applicable IRS Form W-8IMY.

THE
CERTIFICATES
Section
5.01The
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 Securities Administrator to register the Class
1X,
Class 2X, Class 1P and Class 2P Certificates in the name of the Depository
Trust
Company or its designee. On a date as to which the Depositor notifies the
Securities Administrator, the Depositor hereby directs the Securities
Administrator to transfer the Class 1X, Class 2X, Class 1P and Class 2P
Certificates in the name of the NIM Trustee or such other name or names as
the
Depositor shall request, and to deliver the Class 1X, Class 2X, Class 1P and
Class 2P Certificates to the NIM Trustee, or to such other person or persons
as
the Depositor shall request.
Subject
to Section 11.03 respecting the final distribution on the Certificates, on
each
Distribution Date the Securities Administrator 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 as directed by that
Certificateholder by written wire instructions provided to the Securities
Administrator or (y) in the event that no wire instructions are provided to
the
Securities Administrator, by check mailed by first class mail to such
Certificateholder at the address of such holder appearing in the Certificate
Register.
103
The
Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of
the
Securities Administrator 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 Securities
Administrator shall bind the Securities Administrator, 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 office
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
Securities Administrator 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
Securities Administrator shall authenticate the Certificates to be issued at
the
direction of the Depositor, or any affiliate thereof.
Section
5.02Certificate
Register; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The
Securities Administrator shall maintain, 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 Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator. Whenever
any
Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Securities Administrator
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 Securities
Administrator duly executed by the holder thereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing. In the event, the Depositor or an Affiliate transfers
the
Class 1X or Class 2X Certificates, or a portion thereof, to another Affiliate,
it shall notify the Securities Administrator in writing of the affiliated status
of the transferee. The Securities Administrator shall have no liability
regarding the lack of notice with respect thereto.
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.
104
All
Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be
cancelled and subsequently destroyed by the Securities Administrator in
accordance with the Securities Administrator’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. Except with respect to (i) the
initial transfer of the Class 1X, Class 2X, Class 1P or Class 2P Certificates
on
the Closing Date, (ii) the transfer of the Class 1X, Class 2X, Class 1P or
Class
2P Certificates to the NIM Issuer or the NIM Trustee, or (iii) a transfer of
the
Class 1X, Class 2X, Class 1P or Class 2P Certificates to the Depositor or any
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 Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator a letter
in
substantially the form of Exhibit
I
(the
“Rule
144A Letter”)
or
(ii) there shall be delivered to the Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator
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 and 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 initial transfer of the Class 1X, Class 2X, Class 1P
or
Class 2P Certificates on the Closing Date, (ii) the transfer of the Class 1X,
Class 2X, Class 1P or Class 2P Certificates to the NIM Issuer or the NIM Trustee
or (iii) a transfer of the Class 1X, Class 2X, Class 1P or Class 2P Certificates
to the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor, no transfer of an
ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the Securities Administrator
shall have received either (i) a representation from the transferee of such
Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the
Securities Administrator (in the event such Certificate is a Private Certificate
or a Residual Certificate, such requirement is satisfied only by the Securities
Administrator’s receipt of a representation letter from the transferee
substantially in the form of Exhibit
G),
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 (each such investor a
“Plan”),
(ii)
in the case of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate (other than a Residual
Certificate) that has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting,
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 (“PTCE”)
95-60)
and that the purchase and holding of such Certificates satisfy the requirements
for exemptive relief under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or (iii) in the
case
of any ERISA-Restricted 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
Securities Administrator and the Depositor, which Opinion of Counsel shall
not
be an expense of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or
the
Trust Fund, addressed to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor, to
the
effect that the purchase and 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 Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, any other servicer
or
the Securities Administrator 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 Private
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 Securities Administrator by the
transferee’s (including an initial acquirer’s) acceptance of the
ERISA-Restricted Certificates. In the event that such representation is
violated, or any attempt is made to transfer to a plan or arrangement subject
to
Section 406 of ERISA, a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan
subject to Similar Law, or a person acting on behalf of any such plan or
arrangement or using the assets of any such plan or arrangement, without such
Opinion of Counsel, such attempted transfer or acquisition shall be void and
of
no effect.
105
During
the period the Supplemental Interest Trust is in effect, no transfer of a Group
II Certificate shall be made unless the Securities Administrator shall have
received either (i) a representation from the transferee of such Group II
Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the
Securities Administrator to the effect that such transferee is not a Plan,
or
(ii) a representation that the purchase and holding of the Certificate satisfy
the requirements for exemptive relief under PTCE 84-14, PTCE 90-1, PTCE 91-38,
PTCE 95-60, PTCE 96-23 or a similar exemption, or in the case of a Plan subject
to Similar Law, will not constitute a non-exempt violation of such Similar
Law.
In the event such a representation letter is not delivered, one of the foregoing
representations, as appropriate, shall be deemed to have been made by the
transferee’s (including an initial acquirer’s) acceptance of the Group II
Certificate. In the event that such representation is violated, such transfer
or
acquisition shall be void and of no effect.
106
The
Residual Certificates may not be sold to any employee benefit plan subject
to
Title I of ERISA, any plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or any plan
subject to any Similar Law or any person investing on behalf of or with plan
assets of such plan.
The
Securities Administrator shall have no duty to monitor transfers of beneficial
interests in any Book-Entry Certificate and shall not be under 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 Securities Administrator in accordance with
the
foregoing requirements.
(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 Securities
Administrator 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 Securities Administrator shall not
register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate unless, in addition to the
certificates required to be delivered to the Securities Administrator under
subparagraph (b) above, the Securities Administrator 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 not a 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. Neither the Securities Administrator nor the Trustee shall 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. The Securities Administrator shall be entitled but not obligated
to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in fact not a
Permitted Transferee at the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent
time
as it became other than a Permitted Transferee, all payments made on such
Residual Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so
recovered by the Securities Administrator shall be paid and delivered by the
Securities Administrator to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such
Certificate; and
107
(v)The
Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon receipt of written
request from the Securities Administrator, 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 not a
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 Securities Administrator of an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion
of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, or the
Securities Administrator, to the effect that the elimination of such
restrictions will not cause any Trust REMIC 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 Securities Administrator, 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 not a 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 not a
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 Securities Administrator
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 and the Securities Administrator
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 Securities Administrator
and 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.
108
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 Securities Administrator in
writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge
its responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Securities Administrator or
the
Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, or (y) the Depositor
notifies the Depository of its intent to terminate the book entry system through
the Depository, the Depository Participants holding beneficial interests in
the
Book-Entry Certificates agree to initiate such termination, the Securities
Administrator 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 Securities
Administrator of the related Class of Certificates by the Depository,
accompanied by the instructions from the Depository for registration, the
Securities Administrator shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Neither the
Depositor nor the Securities Administrator 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
Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator, to the extent applicable with respect
to such Definitive Certificates and the Securities Administrator shall recognize
the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder;
provided,
that
the Securities Administrator shall not by virtue of its assumption of such
obligations become liable to any party for any act or failure to act of the
Depository.
(f)Each
Private Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer and
accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8IMY (and all appropriate attachments)
or W-9 in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator, duly executed
by
the Certificateholder or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Each
Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
shall be canceled and subsequently disposed of by the Securities Administrator
in accordance with its customary practice. No service charge shall be made
for
any registration of transfer or exchange of Private Certificates, but the
Securities Administrator 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.
109
Section
5.03Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (a)
any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Securities Administrator, or
the
Securities Administrator receives evidence to its satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to
the
Depositor, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to hold each of them harmless, then, in
the
absence of notice to the Securities Administrator that such Certificate has
been
acquired by a protected purchaser, the Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator) 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
5.04Persons
Deemed Owners.
The
Trustee, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and any agent of the
Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee may treat the Person
in
whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for
the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for
all
other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator, the Depositor or any agent of the Depositor, the Securities
Administrator or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
Section
5.05Access
to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses.
If (3)
three or more Certificateholders (a) request such information in writing from
the Securities Administrator, (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 a Servicer shall request such information in writing from the
Securities Administrator, then the Securities Administrator shall, within ten
(10) Business Days after the receipt of such request, provide the Depositor,
such Servicer or such Certificateholders at such recipients’ expense the most
recent list of the Certificateholders of such Trust Fund held by the Securities
Administrator, if any. The Depositor and every Certificateholder, by receiving
and holding a Certificate, agree that the Securities Administrator shall not
be
held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to
the
list of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which
such information was derived.
Section
5.06Maintenance
of Office or Agency.
The
Securities Administrator will maintain or cause to be maintained at its expense
an office or agency or agencies where Certificates may be surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange. The Securities Administrator initially
designates its Corporate Trust Office for such purposes. The Securities
Administrator will give prompt written notice to the Certificateholders of
any
change in such location of any such office or agency.

resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Depositor shall be
a
party, or any person succeeding to the business of the Depositor, shall be
the
successor of the Depositor, 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.
Section
6.03Limitation
on Liability of the Depositor and Others.
Neither
the Depositor nor any of its 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 or any such Person against any
breach of representations or warranties made by it herein or protect the
Depositor or any such Person from any liability which would otherwise be imposed
by reasons of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the
performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and
duties hereunder. The Depositor and any director, officer, employee or agent
of
the Depositor 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 any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Depositor 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 incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor shall not 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
the Depositor may in its discretion undertake any such action (or direct the
Trustee to undertake such actions 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 (or the Trustee to the extent
it
has been directed by the Depositor to undertake such actions) shall be entitled
to be reimbursed therefor out of the Distribution Account.

Section

after the Depositor’s receipt thereof, the Depositor shall review the same and,
if applicable, consult with such Servicer as to the nature of any defaults
by
such Servicer in the fulfillment of any of its Servicer’s obligations under the
applicable Servicing Agreement.
Section
6.05Option
to Purchase Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
The
Depositor shall have the option, but is not obligated, to purchase from the
Trust any Mortgage Loan that is ninety (90) days or more delinquent. The

Mortgage Loan, plus all related accrued and unpaid interest, and the amount
of
any unreimbursed Servicing Advances made by the Servicers or the Master Servicer
related to the Mortgage Loan.
ARTICLE

SERVICER
DEFAULT
Section
7.01Events
of Default.
If an
Event of Default described in any Servicing Agreement shall occur with respect
to the related Servicer then, and in each and every such case, so long as such
Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Master Servicer may, or
at
the direction of Certificateholders entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights
the Master Servicer 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 the applicable Servicing Agreement and in and to the
Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. The Holders of Certificates evidencing
at least 66% of the Voting Rights of Certificates affected by a Event of Default
may waive such Event of Default; provided,
however,
that
(a) an Event of Default with respect to any Servicer’s obligation to make
Monthly Advances may be waived only by all of the holders of the Certificates
affected by such Event of Default and (b) no such waiver is permitted that
would
materially adversely affect any non consenting Certificateholder. On and after
the receipt by such Servicer of such written notice of termination, all
authority and power of such Servicer hereunder or under the applicable Servicing
Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass
to and be vested in the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer 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.
Section
7.02Master
Servicer to Act; Appointment of Successor.
Within
120 days after the Master Servicer gives, and the applicable Servicer receives
a
notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01, the Master Servicer shall,
subject to and to the extent provided in Section 7.03, and subject to the rights
of the Master Servicer to appoint a successor Servicer pursuant to this Section
7.02, be the successor to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under the
applicable Servicing Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for
herein and in such Servicing Agreement and shall be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer
by the terms and provisions of such Servicing Agreement and applicable law
including the obligation to make Monthly Advances or Servicing Advances pursuant
to such Servicing Agreement (it being understood and agreed that if any Servicer
fails to make a Monthly Advance or Servicing Advance, the Master Servicer shall
do so unless a determination has been made that such Monthly Advance or
Servicing Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Monthly Advance or
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, as applicable). As compensation therefor,
the
Master Servicer shall be entitled to all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans
that the Servicer would have been entitled to charge to the Collection Account
if the Servicer had continued to act under the Servicing Agreement including,
if
the Servicer was receiving the Servicing Fee at the Servicing Fee Rate set
forth
in the Servicing Agreement (or, as set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule
with
respect to the related Mortgage Loans, as applicable) such Servicing Fee and
the
income on investments or gain related to the Collection Account.
112
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Master Servicer may, if it shall be unwilling to so act,
or
shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law from making Monthly Advances and
Servicing Advances pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement, or if it
is
otherwise unable to so act, or, at the written request of Certificateholders
entitled to 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 under the applicable Servicing Agreement in the assumption of all
or
any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of such Servicer. No
such appointment of a successor to a Servicer hereunder shall be effective
until
the Depositor shall have consented thereto. Any successor to such Servicer
shall
be an institution which is a Xxxxxx Xxx and Freddie Mac approved seller/servicer
in good standing, which has a net worth of at least $25,000,000, which is
willing to service the Mortgage Loans and which executes and delivers to the
Depositor and the Master Servicer 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 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 Master Servicer, unless the Master
Servicer is prohibited by law from so acting, shall, subject to this Section
7.02, act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such
appointment and assumption, the Master Servicer may make such arrangements
for
the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it,
the
Depositor 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 Servicer from investments. The Master Servicer and such successor shall
take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to
effectuate any such succession. Neither the Master Servicer nor any other
successor to a 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.
113
Any
successor Servicer shall give notice to the Mortgagors of such change of
Servicer, in accordance with applicable federal and state law, 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 the applicable Servicing
Agreement.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Master Servicer may not terminate a Servicer without
cause.
Section
7.03Master
Servicer to Act as Servicer.
In the
event that a Servicer shall for any other reason no longer be the Servicer,
the
Master Servicer or another successor Servicer, shall thereupon assume all of
the
rights and obligations of the predecessor Servicer hereunder arising thereafter
pursuant to Section 7.02.
Section
7.04Notification
to Certificateholders.
(a)
Upon any termination of or appointment of a successor to a Servicer, the
Securities Administrator shall give prompt written notice thereof to
Certificateholders and to each Rating Agency.
(b)Promptly
after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Securities Administrator
shall
transmit by mail to all Certificateholders and each Rating Agency notice of
each
such Event of Default hereunder known to the Securities Administrator, unless
such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.

other instrument.

failure to act or its own bad faith or willful misfeasance; provided,
however,

(a)unless
a
Master Servicer Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee

it;
(g)the
Trustee shall not be liable for any loss on any investment of funds pursuant
to
this Agreement (other than as issuer of the investment security);

termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Trustee
under
this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, except for any expense,
disbursement, or advance arising from the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith, or
willful misfeasance, the Trust Fund shall pay or reimburse the Trustee, for

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 the appointment
of which would not cause any of the Rating Agencies to reduce or withdraw 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 8.07 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 8.07, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the
effect specified in Section 8.08. The entity serving as Trustee may have normal
banking and trust relationships with the Depositor and its affiliates or with
the Servicer and its affiliates; provided,

than the Trustee in its role as successor to the Master Servicer.
Section

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 Master Servicer,
the Securities Administrator and each Rating Agency not less than sixty (60)
days before the date specified in such notice, when, subject to Section 8.09,
such resignation is to take effect, and acceptance by a successor trustee in
accordance with Section 8.09 meeting the qualifications set forth in Section
8.07. If no successor trustee meeting such qualifications shall have been so
appointed and have accepted appointment within thirty (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 (i) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with Section
8.07
and shall fail to resign after written request thereto by the Depositor, (ii)
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, (iii)(A) a tax is imposed with respect to the Trust Fund by any
state in which the Trustee or the Trust Fund is located and (B) the imposition
of such tax would be avoided by the appointment of a different trustee, or
(iv)
the Trustee fails to comply with its obligations under the last sentence of
Section 8.04 in the preceding paragraph, Section 8.10 or Article XIII and such
failure is not remedied within the lesser of ten (10) calendar days or such
period in which the applicable Exchange Act Report can be timely filed (without
taking into account any extensions), then, in the case of clauses (i) through
(iv), the Depositor may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee
by
written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which shall be delivered to the
Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee.
119

time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument
or
instruments, in duplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys in fact
duly authorized, one complete set of which shall be delivered 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 8.08 shall become effective upon acceptance of
appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 8.09.
Section
8.09Successor
Trustee.
Any
successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.08 shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor trustee 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 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 8.09
unless at the time of its acceptance, the successor trustee is eligible under
Section 8.07 and its appointment does not adversely affect the then current
rating of the Certificates and has provided to the Depositor in writing and
in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all information
reasonably requested by the Depositor in order to comply with its reporting
obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to a replacement
Trustee.
Upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section
8.09, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee
hereunder to all Holders of Certificates and the Custodians. If the Depositor
fails to mail such notice within ten (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.

Any
corporation or association into which the Trustee or the Custodians, as
applicable, may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated
or
any corporation or association resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee or the Custodians, as applicable, shall

party, or any corporation or association succeeding to the business of the
Trustee or the Custodians, as applicable, or any corporation or association
to
which all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee
or
the Custodians, as applicable, may be sold or otherwise transferred, shall
be
the successor of the Trustee or the Custodians, as applicable, hereunder;
provided,
that
such
corporation or association shall be eligible under Section 8.07 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.
Section
8.11Appointment
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 Trustee shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all
instruments to appoint one or more Persons 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 8.11, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and
trusts as the Trustee may consider appropriate. No co-trustee or separate
trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a
successor trustee under Section 8.09 and no notice to Certificateholders of
the
appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under
Section 8.09.

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 8.11, all rights,
powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee, except
for
the obligation of the Trustee (as successor Master Servicer) under this
Agreement to advance funds on behalf of the Master 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 the Master 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
the
Master Servicer and the Depositor.
121
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
8.12Tax
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 Securities Administrator covenants and agrees that it shall
act as agent (and the Securities Administrator is hereby appointed to act as
agent) on behalf of each REMIC described in the Preliminary Statement 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 (30) 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 not a Permitted Transferee (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);
122
(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 8.12, the amount
of
any federal or state tax, including prohibited transaction taxes as described
below, imposed on any Trust REMIC before its termination when and as the same
shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Securities
Administrator or any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax
in
appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Securities Administrator
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
Securities Administrator or, if required by applicable tax law, 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;
(j)maintain
records relating to each of the Trust REMICs, 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;
and
(k)as
and
when necessary and appropriate, represent each Trust REMIC 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, enter into settlement agreements with any governmental taxing
agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any tax item of any Trust
REMIC, and otherwise act on behalf of each Trust REMIC in relation to any tax
matter or controversy involving it.
The
Holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Class 1R, Class 1RC and Class
1RX Certificates shall act as Tax Matters Person for the Group I Lower-Tier
REMIC, the Group I Upper-Tier REMIC and the Group I Class X REMIC, respectively,
within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d), and the
Securities Administrator is hereby designated as agent of such Certificateholder
for such purpose (or if the Securities Administrator is not so permitted, such
Holder shall be the Tax Matters Person in accordance with the REMIC Provisions).
The Holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Class 2R, Class 2RC and
Class 2RX Certificates shall act as Tax Matters Person for the Group II
Lower-Tier REMIC and the Group II Middle-Tier REMIC, the Group II Upper-Tier
REMIC and the Group II Class X REMIC, respectively, within the meaning of
Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d), and the Securities Administrator
is
hereby designated as agent of such Certificateholder for such purpose (or if
the
Securities Administrator is not so permitted, such Holder shall be the Tax
Matters Person in accordance with the REMIC Provisions). In such capacity,
the
Securities Administrator shall, as and when necessary and appropriate, represent
each Trust REMIC 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, enter
into
settlement agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute
of
limitations relating to any tax item of any Trust REMIC, and otherwise act
on
behalf of each Trust REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy
involving it.
123
The
Securities Administrator shall treat the rights of each of the Class 1P and
Class 2P Certificateholders to receive Prepayment Premiums from Mortgage Loans
of the related Group, the rights of each of the Class 1X and the Class 2X
Certificateholders to receive amounts in the Excess Reserve Fund Account and
Supplemental Interest Trust (subject to the obligation to pay Tax Basis Risk
Carry Forward Amounts) and the rights of the Principal Certificateholders to
receive Tax Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts (as calculated in the Preliminary
Statement) as the beneficial ownership interests in a grantor trust and not
as
an obligations of any REMIC created hereunder, for federal income tax purposes.
The Securities Administrator shall file or cause to be filed with the Internal
Revenue Service Form 1041 or such other form as may be applicable and shall
furnish or cause to be furnished, to each of the Class 1X, Class 2X, Class
1P
and Class 2P Certificateholders and the Principal Certificateholders, the
respective amounts described above that are received, in the time or times
and
in the manner required by the Code.
The
Securities Administrator shall treat the Supplemental Interest Trust as a WHFIT.
The Securities Administrator will report to the Holder of the Class 2X
Certificates, as the beneficial owner of the Supplemental Interest Trust, as
required under the WHFIT Regulations to the extent such information as is
reasonably necessary to enable Securities Administrator to do so is provided
to
Securities Administrator on a timely basis. To the extent that the Supplemental
Interest Trust is a WHFIT, the Depositor shall provide or shall cause the Holder
of the Class 2X Certificates to provide to the Securities Administrator
information identifying “middlemen” (as defined by the WHFIT Regulations)
related to the Class 2X Certificates. The Securities Administrator will not
be
liable for any tax reporting penalties that may arise under the WHFIT
Regulations as a result of the incorrect determination of the status of the
Supplemental Interest Trust as a WHFIT or failing to identify whether or not
the
Supplemental Interest Trust is a WHFIT.
The
Securities Administrator, in its discretion, will report required WHFIT
information to the beneficial owner of the Supplemental Interest Trust using
either the cash or accrual method and will specify the method used by it, except
to the extent the WHFIT Regulations specifically require a different method.
The
Securities Administrator will be under no obligation to determine whether any
Certificateholder uses the cash or accrual method. The Securities Administrator
will make available WHFIT information to Certificateholders on its website.
In
addition, except for posting such information on its website, the Securities
Administrator will not be responsible or liable for providing subsequently
amended, revised or updated information to any Certificateholder, unless
requested by that Certificateholder.
124
The
Securities Administrator shall not be liable for failure to meet the reporting
requirements of the WHFIT Regulations nor for any penalties thereunder if such
failure is due to: (i) the lack of reasonably necessary information being
provided to Securities Administrator or (ii) incomplete, inaccurate or untimely
information being provided to Securities Administrator. Each owner of a Class
2X
Certificate representing, in whole or in part, beneficial ownership of an
interest in a WHFIT, by acceptance of its interest in such Class 2X Certificate,
will be deemed to have agreed to provide Securities Administrator with
information regarding any sale of such securities, including the price, amount
of proceeds and date of sale. Absent receipt of such information, and unless
informed otherwise by the Depositor, Securities Administrator will assume there
is no secondary market trading of WHFIT interests.
To
the
extent required by the WHFIT Regulations, the Securities Administrator will
publish on an appropriate website or otherwise make available the CUSIPs for
the
certificates that represent ownership of a WHFIT. The Securities Administrator
will use its best efforts to keep the information accurate and updated to the
extent CUSIPs have been received. The Securities Administrator will not be
liable for investor reporting delays that result from the receipt of inaccurate
or untimely CUSIP information.
The
Securities Administrator shall be entitled to additional reasonable compensation
for changes in reporting required in respect of the WHFIT Regulations that
arise
as a result of (i) the failure of the Depositor or the Holder of the Class
2X
Certificates to inform timely the Securities Administrator of the designation
of
the Supplemental Interest Trust as a WHFIT, (ii) the Supplemental Interest
Trust
becoming a WHFIT after the Closing Date (if compensation is not already provided
for this contingency) or (iii) a change in the WHFIT Regulations or a change
in
interpretation of the WHFIT Regulations by the IRS or the Depositor or the
Holder of the Class 2X Certificates or their counsel, if such change requires,
in the Securities Administrator’s reasonable discretion, a material increase in
its reporting obligations in respect of the Supplemental Interest
Trust.
To
enable
the Securities Administrator to perform its duties under this Agreement, the
Depositor shall provide to the Securities Administrator within ten (10) days
after the Closing Date all information or data that the Securities Administrator
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
Securities Administrator concerning the value, if any, to each Class of
Certificates of the right to receive Tax Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts from
the Excess Reserve Fund Account and the Supplemental Interest Trust. Thereafter,
the Depositor shall provide to the Securities Administrator promptly upon
written request therefor any additional information or data that the Securities
Administrator may, from time to time, reasonably request to enable the
Securities Administrator to perform its duties under this Agreement. The
Depositor hereby indemnifies the Securities Administrator for any losses,
liabilities, damages, claims, or expenses of the Securities Administrator
arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Securities Administrator
that
result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to cause to be provided,
accurate information or data to the Securities Administrator on a timely
basis.
125
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
the Lower-Tier REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any
contribution to any Trust REMIC after the Startup Day pursuant to Section
860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, including 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 Master Servicer, the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator, as applicable if such tax arises out of or results
from negligence of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable in the performance of any of its obligations under
this Agreement, (ii) a Servicer, in the case of any such minimum tax, and
otherwise if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Servicer
of
any of its obligations under the applicable Servicing Agreement, (iii) a
Responsible Party if such tax arises out of or results from the Responsible
Party’s obligation to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the applicable Sale
Agreement or (iv) in all other cases, or if the Trustee, the Master Servicer,
the Securities Administrator, the 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 Sections 4.01(a) or 4.02(a), as
applicable.
For
as
long as each Trust REMIC shall exist, the Securities Administrator shall act
as
specifically required herein, and the Securities Administrator shall comply
with
any directions of the Depositor or a Servicer stating that such directions
are
being given to assure such continuing treatment. In particular, the Securities
Administrator shall not (a) sell or authorize the sale of all or any portion
of
the Mortgage Loans or of any investment of deposits in an Account unless such
sale is as a result of a purchase or repurchase of the Mortgage Loans pursuant
to this Agreement or (b) accept any contribution to any Trust REMIC after the
Startup Day without receipt of an Opinion of Counsel that such action described
in clause (a) or (b) will not result in the imposition of a tax on any Trust
REMIC or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that
any Certificates are outstanding.
Section
8.13Reserved.
Section
8.14Tax
Classification of the Excess Reserve Fund Account and the Interest Rate Swap
Agreement.
For
federal income tax purposes, the Securities Administrator shall treat separate
portions of the Excess Reserve Fund Account attributable to the obligations
to
pay Tax Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts to the Group I and Group II
Certificates, respectively, as beneficially owned by the holders of each of
the
Class 1X and the Class 2X Certificates and shall treat such separate portions
of
the Trust Fund as separate grantor trusts under subpart E, Part I of subchapter
J of the Code. The Interest Rate Swap Agreement will be treated as part of
the
grantor trust beneficially owned by the holder of the Class 2X Certificates.
The
Securities Administrator shall treat the rights that each Class of Principal
Certificates has to receive payments of Tax Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts
from the Excess Reserve Fund Account and the Supplemental Interest Trust as
rights to receive payments under an interest rate cap contract written by each
of the Class 1X and the Class 2X Certificateholders in favor of each Class
of
Principal Certificates corresponding to its Loan Group. Accordingly, each Class
of Principal Certificates will comprise two components—a regular interest in the
Upper-Tier REMIC and an interest in an interest rate cap contract, the Class
1X
Certificates comprise three components—a regular interest in the Class X REMIC
and an interest in the Supplemental Interest Trust and the Excess Reserve Fund
Account subject to the obligation to pay Tax Basis Risk Xxxx Forward Amounts,
and the Class 2X Certificates will comprise four components—a regular interest
in the Class 2X REMIC, an interest in the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, the
Supplemental Interest Trust and the Excess Reserve Fund Account subject to
the
obligation to pay Tax Basis Risk Xxxx Forward Amounts, Net Swap Payment Amounts
and Swap Termination Payments. The Securities Administrator shall allocate
the
issue price for a Class of Certificates among these components for purposes
of
determining the issue price of the Upper-Tier Regular Interest component based
on information received from the Depositor. Unless otherwise advised by the
Depositor in writing, for federal income tax purposes, the Securities
Administrator is hereby directed to assign a value of zero to the right of
each
Holder of a Principal Certificate to receive the related Tax Basis Risk Carry
Forward Amount for purposes of allocating the purchase price of an initial
LIBOR
Certificateholder between such right and the related Upper-Tier Regular
Interest.
126
Holders
of LIBOR Certificates shall also be treated as having agreed to pay, on each
Distribution Date, to the Holders of the Class 2X Certificates an aggregate
amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) Net Swap Payment Amounts and Swap
Termination Payments (other that Defaulted Swap Termination Payments) over
(ii)
the sum of amounts payable on the Class 2X Interest as provided in the
Preliminary Statement hereof (such excess, a “Class
IO Shortfall”),
first
from interest and then from principal distributable on the LIBOR Certificates.
A
Class IO Shortfall payable from interest collections shall be allocated
pro
rata
among
such LIBOR Certificates based on the amount of interest otherwise payable to
such Class of LIBOR Certificates, and a Class IO Shortfall payable from
principal collections shall be allocated in reverse sequential order beginning
with the most subordinate Class of LIBOR Certificates then
outstanding.
Any
payments of Class IO Shortfalls shall be treated for tax purposes as having
been
received by the Holders of such Class of LIBOR Certificates in respect of the
corresponding Upper-Tier Regular Interest and as having been paid by such
Holders to the Holders of the Class 2X Certificates through the Supplemental
Interest Trust.
Section
8.15Custodial
Responsibilities.
Each of
the Custodians shall provide access to the Mortgage Loan documents in possession
of such Custodian regarding the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property and
the
servicing thereof to the Trustee, the Certificateholders, the FDIC, and the
supervisory agents and examiners of the FDIC, such access being afforded only
upon two (2) Business Days, prior written request and during normal business
hours at the office of such Custodian; provided,
however,
that,
unless otherwise required by law or any regulatory or administrative agency
(including the FDIC), such Custodian shall not be required to provide access
to
such records and documentation if the provision thereof would violate the legal
right to privacy of any Mortgagor. Each of the Custodians shall allow
representatives of the above entities to photocopy any of the records and
documentation and shall provide equipment for that purpose at the expense of
the
Trust that covers such Custodians actual costs.
Upon
receipt of a request for release by a Servicer substantially in the form of
Exhibit
L-1,
Exhibit
L-2,
Exhibit
L-3
or
Exhibit
L-4
hereto,
the applicable Custodian shall release within five (5) Business Days the related
Mortgage File to such Servicer and the Trustee shall execute and deliver to
such
Servicer, without recourse, a request for reconveyance, deed of reconveyance
or
release or satisfaction of mortgage or such instrument releasing the lien of
the
Mortgage (furnished by such Servicer), together with the Mortgage
Note.
127
Each
of
the Custodians may resign at any time or may be terminated by the Trustee with
cause, in each case, upon sixty (60) days written notice to the applicable
Servicer, the Depositor and the Securities Administrator, in which event the
Depositor will be obligated to appoint a successor. If no successor has been
appointed and has accepted appointment within sixty (60) days after the
resignation or termination of such Custodian, such Custodian may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a successor.
The
Securities Administrator, pursuant to a separate agreement, shall compensate
from its own funds the Custodians for their respective activities under this
Agreement. The Custodians shall have no lien on the Trust Fund for the payment
of such fees. The Custodians shall be entitled to be reimbursed, from funds
on
deposit in the Distribution Account, amounts sufficient to indemnify and hold
harmless each of the Custodians and any director, officer, employee, or agent
of
a Custodian against any loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with any claim or legal action relating
to:
(a) this
Agreement;
(b) the
Certificates; or
(c) the
performance of any of such Xxxxxxxxx’s duties under this Agreement,
other
than any loss, liability, or expense (i) resulting from any breach of a
Servicer’s obligations in connection with a Servicing Agreement for which the
Servicer has performed its obligation to indemnify such Custodian pursuant
to
such Servicing Agreement, (ii) resulting from any breach of the Responsible
Party’s obligations in connection with a Sale Agreement for which the
Responsible Party has performed its obligation to indemnify such Custodian
pursuant to such Sale Agreement or (iii) incurred because of willful
misfeasance, bad faith, or negligence in the performance of any of such
Custodian’s duties under this Agreement. This indemnity shall survive the
termination of this Agreement or the earlier resignation or removal of the
Custodians.

ADMINISTRATION
OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS
BY
THE MASTER SERVICER
Section
9.01Duties
of the Master Servicer; Enforcement of Servicer’s Obligations.
(a) The
Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the
Depositor and the Certificateholders, shall monitor the performance of the
Servicers under the related Servicing Agreements, and (except as set forth
below) shall use its reasonable good faith efforts to cause the Servicers to
duly and punctually perform their duties and obligations thereunder as
applicable. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a Responsible
Officer of the Master Servicer has actual knowledge, the Master Servicer shall
promptly notify the Securities Administrator and the Trustee and shall specify
in such notice the action, if any, the Master Servicer plans to take in respect
of such default. So long as an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing,
the Master Servicer shall take the actions specified in Article VII.
If
(i) a
Servicer reports a delinquency on a monthly report and (ii) such Servicer,
by 11
a.m. (New York Time) on the Business Day preceding the related Remittance Date,
neither makes a Monthly Advance nor provides the Securities Administrator and
the Master Servicer with a report certifying that such a Monthly Advance would
be a Nonrecoverable Monthly Advance, then the Master Servicer shall deposit
in
the Distribution Account not later than the Business Day immediately preceding
the related Distribution Date a Monthly Advance in an amount equal to the
difference between (x) with respect to each Monthly Payment due on a Mortgage
Loan that is delinquent (other than Relief Act Interest Shortfalls) and for
which the related Servicer was required to make a Monthly Advance pursuant
to
the related Servicing Agreement and (y) amounts deposited in the Collection
Account to be used for Monthly Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan,
except to the extent the Master Servicer determines any such Monthly Advance
to
be a Nonrecoverable Monthly Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. Subject
to the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall continue to make such Monthly
Advances for so long as the related Servicer is required to do so under the
related Servicing Agreement. If applicable, on the Business Day immediately
preceding the Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall deliver an Officer’s
Certificate to the Trustee stating that the Master Servicer elects not to make
a
Monthly Advance in a stated amount and detailing the reason(s) it deems the
Monthly Advance to be a Nonrecoverable Monthly Advance. Any amounts deposited
by
the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall be net of the Servicing
Fee for the related Mortgage Loans. If the Master Servicer fails to make a
required Monthly Advance, the Securities Administrator shall provide prompt
written notice to the Trustee of such failure.
128
(a)The
Master Servicer shall pay the costs of monitoring the Servicers as required
hereunder (including costs associated with (i) termination of any Servicer,
(ii)
the appointment of a successor servicer or (iii) the transfer to and assumption
of the servicing by the Master Servicer) and shall, to the extent permitted
by
the related Servicing Agreement, seek reimbursement therefor initially from
the
terminated Servicer. In the event the full costs associated with the transition
of servicing responsibilities to the Master Servicer or to a successor servicer
are not paid for by the predecessor or successor Servicer (provided such
successor Servicer is not the Master Servicer), the Master Servicer may be
reimbursed therefor by the Trust for out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Master
Servicer associated with any such transfer of servicing duties from a Servicer
to the Master Servicer or any other successor servicer.
(b)If
the
Master Servicer assumes the servicing with respect to any of the Mortgage Loans,
it will not assume liability for the representations and warranties of any
Servicer it replaces or for any errors or omissions of such
Servicer.
If
the
Depositor or an affiliate of the Depositor is the owner of the servicing rights
for any Servicer and the Depositor chooses to terminate such Servicer with
or
without cause and sell those servicing rights to a successor servicer, then
the
Depositor must provide thirty (30) days’ notice to the Master Servicer, such
successor servicer must be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer, the
terminated servicer must be reimbursed for any unreimbursed Monthly Advances,
servicing fees and any related expenses, the successor servicer must be
qualified to service mortgage loans for Xxxxxx Xxx or Freddie Mac and the
Depositor must obtain prior written consent from the Rating Agencies that the
transfer of the servicing of the mortgage loans will not result in a downgrade,
qualification or withdrawal of the then current ratings of the Certificates.
The
costs of such transfer (including any costs of the Master Servicer) are to
be
borne by the Depositor.
129
Neither
the Depositor nor the Securities Administrator shall consent to the assignment
by any Servicer of such Servicer’s rights and obligations under the Agreement
without the prior written consent of the Master Servicer, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld.
Section
9.02Maintenance
of Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance.
The
Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a blanket fidelity
bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, affording coverage with
respect to all directors, officers, employees and other Persons acting on such
Master Servicer’s behalf, and covering errors and omissions in the performance
of the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder. The errors and omissions
insurance policy and the fidelity bond shall be in such form and amount
generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicers or
trustees.
Section
9.03Representations
and Warranties of the Master Servicer.
(a) The
Master Servicer hereby represents and warrants to the Depositor, the Securities
Administrator and the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, as
of
the Closing Date that:
(i)it
is a
national banking association validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the United States of America, and as Master Servicer has full power
and
authority to transact any and all business contemplated by this Agreement and
to
execute, deliver and comply with its obligations under the terms of this
Agreement, the execution, delivery and performance of which have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Master
Servicer;
(ii)the
execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Master Servicer and its
performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not (A) violate
the Master Servicer’s charter or bylaws, (B) violate any law or regulation or
any administrative decree or order to which it is subject or (C) constitute
a
default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would
constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any material contract,
agreement or other instrument to which the Master Servicer is a party or by
which it is bound or to which any of its assets are subject, which violation,
default or breach would materially and adversely affect the Master Servicer’s
ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement;
(iii)this
Agreement constitutes, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery hereof
by the other respective parties hereto, a legal, valid and binding obligation
of
the Master Servicer, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms hereof,
except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights in general, and by general equity principles (regardless of
whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at

above. It is understood and agreed that the enforcement of the obligation of
the
Master Servicer set forth in this Section 9.03 to indemnify the Depositor,
Securities Administrator, and the Trustee constitutes the sole remedy of the
Depositor and the Trustee, respecting a breach of the foregoing representations
and warranties. Such indemnification shall survive any termination of the Master
Servicer as Master Servicer hereunder and any termination of this
Agreement.
131
Any
cause
of action against the Master Servicer relating to or arising out of the breach
of any representations and warranties made in this Section shall accrue upon

parties to the other parties.
Section

Each of
the following shall constitute a “Master
Servicer Event of Default”:

failure by the Master Servicer to deposit in the Distribution Account any
payment received by it from any Servicer or required to be made by the Master
Servicer under the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for a
period of two (2) Business Days after the date upon which written notice of
such
failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master
Servicer by any other party hereto;
(b)failure
by the Master Servicer to duly observe or perform, in any material respect,
any
other covenants, obligations or agreements of the Master Servicer as set forth
in this Agreement (including any obligation to cause any subservicer or
Reporting Subcontractor (except as specified below) to take any action specified
in Article XIII) which failure continues unremedied for a period of thirty
(30)
days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the
same
to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee
or
to the Master Servicer and the Trustee by the holders of Certificates evidencing
at least 25% of the Voting Rights; provided that the thirty (30) day cure period
shall not apply so long as the Depositor is required to file Exchange Act
Reports with respect to the Trust Fund, the failure to comply with the
requirements set forth in Article XIII, for which the grace period shall not
exceed the lesser of ten (10) calendar days or such period in which the
applicable Exchange Act Report can be timely filed (without taking into account
any extensions);
(c)a
decree
or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction
for
the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency,
bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or
similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall
have been entered against the Master Servicer and such decree or order shall
have remained in force, undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty (60)
days;
(d)the
Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver
or
liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshaling
of
assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Master
Servicer or relating to all or substantially all of its property;
(e)the
Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they
become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency
or
reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors,
or
voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations for three (3) Business
Days;
132
(f)except
as
otherwise set forth herein, the Master Servicer attempts to assign this
Agreement or its responsibilities hereunder or to delegate its duties hereunder
(or any portion thereof) without the consent of the Securities Administrator
and
the Depositor; or
(g)the
indictment of the Master Servicer for the taking of any action by the Master
Servicer, any employee thereof, any Affiliate or any director or employee
thereof that constitutes fraud or criminal activity in the performance of its
obligations under this Agreement, in each case, where such indictment materially
and adversely affects the ability of the Master Servicer to perform its
obligations under this Agreement (subject to the condition that such indictment
is not dismissed within ninety (90) days).
In
each
and every such case, so long as a Master Servicer Event of Default shall not
have been remedied, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee may have at
law
or equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance,
the
Trustee, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer, may, and (a) upon the
request of the Holders of Certificates representing at least 51% of the Voting
Rights (except with respect to any Master Servicer Event of Default related
to a
failure to comply with an Exchange Act Filing Obligation) or (b) the Depositor,
in the case of a failure related to an Exchange Act Filing Obligation, shall,
terminate with cause all the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer
under
this Agreement.
The
Depositor shall not be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of
the
Master Servicer, pursuant to the above paragraph, if a failure of the Master
Servicer to identify a Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function”
within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB was attributable solely to
the
role or functions of such Subcontractor with respect to mortgage loans other
than the Mortgage Loans.
Upon
receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power
of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, shall pass to and be vested in
any
successor master servicer appointed hereunder which accepts such appointments.
Upon written request from the Trustee or the Depositor, the Master Servicer
shall prepare, execute and deliver to the successor entity designated by the
Trustee any and all documents and other instruments related to the performance
of its duties hereunder as the Master Servicer and place in such successor’s
possession all such documents with respect to the master servicing of the
Mortgage Loans and do or cause to be done all other acts or things necessary
or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, at the Master
Servicer’s sole expense. The Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee
and such successor master servicer in effecting the termination of the Master
Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including without limitation,
the transfer to such successor master servicer for administration by it of
all
cash amounts which shall at the time be credited to the Distribution Account
or
are thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
Upon
the
occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default, the Securities Administrator
shall (i) provide prompt written notice to the Trustee and the Depositor of
such
occurrence and (ii) provide the Depositor in writing and in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all information reasonably requested
by the Depositor in order to comply with its reporting obligation under Item
6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to a successor master servicer in the event the
Trustee should succeed to the duties of the Master Servicer as set forth herein.
In the event that the Master Servicer becomes a terminated Master Servicer
due
to a Master Servicer Event of Default, the terminated Master Servicer shall
bear
all costs of the transfer of master servicing hereunder (including those
incurred by the Trustee). If such costs are not paid by the terminated Master
Servicer, such costs shall be reimbursed from the Trust Fund.
133
Section
9.05Waiver
of Default.
By a
written notice, the Trustee may with the consent of a Holders of Certificates
evidencing at least 51% of the Voting Rights waive any default by the Master
Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences.
Upon any waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any
Master Servicer Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have
been
remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to
any
subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to
the
extent expressly so waived.
Section
9.06Successor
to the Master Servicer.
Upon
termination of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and duties under this
Agreement, the Trustee shall appoint or may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor, which shall succeed to all
rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the
Master Servicer under this Agreement prior to the termination of the Master
Servicer. Any successor shall be a Xxxxxx Xxx and Freddie Mac approved servicer
in good standing and acceptable to the Depositor and the Rating Agencies. 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 in
no event shall the master servicer fee paid to such successor master servicer
exceed that paid to the Master Servicer hereunder. In the event that the Master
Servicer’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement are
terminated, the Master Servicer shall continue to discharge its duties and
responsibilities hereunder until the effective date of such termination with
the
same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under
this Agreement and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or
prejudice the rights of its successor. The termination of the Master Servicer
shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant hereto
and shall in no event (i) relieve the Master Servicer of responsibility for
the
representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 9.03(a) hereof and
the
remedies available to the Trustee under Section 9.03(b) hereof, it being
understood and agreed that the provisions of Section 9.03 hereof shall be
applicable to the Master Servicer notwithstanding any such sale, assignment,
resignation or termination of the Master Servicer or the termination of this
Agreement; or (ii) affect the right of the Master Servicer to receive payment
and/or reimbursement of any amounts accruing to it hereunder prior to the date
of termination (or during any transition period in which the Master Servicer
continues to perform its duties hereunder prior to the date the successor master
servicer fully assumes its duties).
If
no
successor Master Servicer has accepted its appointment within ninety (90) days
of the time the Trustee receives the resignation of the Master Servicer, the
Trustee shall be the successor Master Servicer in all respects under this
Agreement and shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto, including the
obligation to make Monthly Advances; provided,
however,
that
any failure to perform any duties or responsibilities caused by the Master
Servicer’s failure to provide information required by this Agreement shall not
be considered a default by the Trustee hereunder. In the Trustee’s capacity as
such successor, the Trustee shall have the same limitations on liability herein
granted to the Master Servicer. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall
be
entitled to receive the compensation, reimbursement and indemnities otherwise
payable to the Master Servicer, including the fees and other amounts payable
pursuant to Section 9.07 hereof.
134
At
least
fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the effective date of such appointment,
the
Trustee shall provide written notice to the Depositor of such successor pursuant
to this Section 9.06.
Any
successor master servicer appointed as provided herein, shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Master Servicer and to the Trustee an instrument
accepting such appointment, wherein the successor shall make the representations
and warranties set forth in Section 9.03 hereof, and whereupon such successor
shall become fully vested with all of the rights, powers, duties,
responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Master Servicer, with
like
effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement. Any termination
or
resignation of the Master Servicer or termination of this Agreement shall not
affect any claims that the Trustee may have against the Master Servicer arising
out of the Master Servicer’s actions or failure to act prior to any such
termination or resignation or in connection with the Trustee’s assumption as
successor master servicer of such obligations, duties and
responsibilities.
Upon
a
successor’s acceptance of appointment as such, the Master Servicer shall notify
by mail the Trustee of such appointment.
Section
9.07Compensation
of the Master Servicer.
As
compensation for its activities under this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall
be paid the Master Servicing Fee and be entitled to the investment income earned
on amounts in the Distribution Account during the Master Servicer Float
Period.
Section
9.08Merger
or Consolidation.
Any
Person into which the Master Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any
Person resulting from any merger, conversion, other change in form or
consolidation to which the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person
succeeding to the business of the Master Servicer, shall be the successor to
the
Master Servicer 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 resulting Person to the Master Servicer shall (i) be a Person
(or have an Affiliate) that is qualified and approved to service mortgage loans
for Xxxxxx Xxx and FHLMC (provided, further
that a
successor Master Servicer that satisfies subclause (i) through an Affiliate
agrees to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with all applicable Xxxxxx
Xxx and FHLMC guidelines) and (ii) have a net worth of not less than
$25,000,000.
Section
9.09Resignation
of the Master Servicer.
Except
as otherwise provided in Sections 9.08 and 9.10 hereof, the Master Servicer
shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it unless
the
Master Servicer’s duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable
law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other
activities carried on by it and cannot be cured. Any such determination
permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel that shall be independent to such effect delivered to the
Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until the Trustee shall
have
assumed, or a successor master servicer satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Depositor shall have assumed, the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and
obligations under this Agreement. Notice of such resignation shall be given
promptly by the Master Servicer and the Depositor to the Trustee.
135
At
least
fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the effective date of such resignation,
the
Master Servicer shall provide written notice to the Depositor of any successor
pursuant to this Section.
If
at any
time, Xxxxx Fargo, as Master Servicer, resigns under this Section 9.09, or
is
removed as Master Servicer pursuant to Section 9.04, then at such time Xxxxx
Fargo shall also resign (and shall be entitled to resign) as Securities
Administrator under this Agreement.
Section
9.10Assignment
or Delegation of Duties by the Master Servicer.
Except
as expressly provided herein, the Master Servicer shall not assign or transfer
any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person, or
delegate to or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any other Person to
perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by the
Master Servicer; provided,
however,
that
the Master Servicer shall have the right with the prior written consent of
the
Depositor (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and upon
delivery to the Trustee and the Depositor of a letter from each Rating Agency
to
the effect that such action shall not result in a downgrade of the ratings
assigned to any of the Certificates, to delegate or assign to or subcontract
with or authorize or appoint any qualified Person to perform and carry out
any
duties, covenants or obligations to be performed and carried out by the Master
Servicer hereunder. Notice of such permitted assignment shall be given promptly
by the Master Servicer to the Depositor and the Trustee. If, pursuant to any
provision hereof, the duties of the Master Servicer are transferred to a
successor master servicer, the entire compensation payable to the Master
Servicer pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable to such successor master
servicer but in no event shall the fee payable to the successor master servicer
exceed that payable to the predecessor master servicer.
Section
9.11Limitation
on Liability of the Master Servicer.
Neither
the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents
of
the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator, the Servicers or 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 Master Servicer or any such person against
any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful malfeasance,
bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of
reckless disregard for its obligations and duties under this Agreement. The
Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Master
Servicer may rely in good faith on any document prima facie properly executed
and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Master
Servicer shall be under no obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any
legal action that is not incidental to its duties as Master Servicer with
respect to the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement and that in its opinion
may
involve it in any expenses or liability; provided,
however,
that
the Master Servicer may in its sole discretion undertake any such action that
it
may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights
and
duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders
hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any
liability resulting therefrom, shall be liabilities of the Trust, and the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Master Servicer
Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.07 and Section
9.12.
136
The
Master Servicer shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of any Servicer
except to the extent that damages or expenses are incurred as a result of such
act or omissions and such damages and expenses would not have been incurred
but
for the negligence, willful malfeasance, bad faith or recklessness of the Master
Servicer in supervising, monitoring and overseeing the obligations of the
Servicers as required under this Agreement.
Section
9.12Indemnification;
Third Party Claims.
The
Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Depositor, the Securities Administrator,
the Servicers, the Trustee and the Custodians, and hold them harmless against
any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and
related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liability, fees and expenses
that
the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Servicers, the Trustee or
the
Custodians may sustain as a result of the Master Servicer’s willful malfeasance,
bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason
of its reckless disregard for its obligations and duties under this Agreement.
The Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Servicers, the Trustee and
the
Custodians, as applicable shall immediately notify the Master Servicer if a
claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage
Loans which would entitle the Depositor, the Servicers, the Trustee or the
Custodians to indemnification under this Section 9.12, whereupon the Master
Servicer shall assume 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 them in
respect of such claim.
The
Master Servicer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee from and
against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees
and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liability, fees and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that the Trustee may sustain as a result
of such liability or obligations of the Master Servicer and in connection with
the Trustee’s assumption (not including the Trustee’s performance, except to the
extent that costs or liability of the Trustee are created or increased as a
result of negligent or wrongful acts or omissions of the Master Servicer prior
to its replacement as Master Servicer) of the Master Servicer’s obligations,
duties or responsibilities under such agreement.
The
Trust
will indemnify the Master Servicer and hold it harmless against any and all
claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs,
judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses that the Master
Servicer may incur or sustain in connection with, arising out of or related
to
this Agreement, the Servicing Agreements, the Sale Agreements, the Step 2
Assignment Agreements or the Certificates, except to the extent that any such
loss, liability or expense is related to (i) a material breach of the Master
Servicer’s representations and warranties in this Agreement or (ii) the Master
Servicer’s willful malfeasance, bad faith or negligence or by reason of its
reckless disregard of its duties and obligations under any such agreement;
provided,
that
any such
loss, liability or expense constitutes an “unanticipated expense incurred by the
REMIC” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii).
The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for any such indemnified
amount from funds on deposit in the Distribution Account.

beneficially affects the interests of the Certificateholders is delivered to
the
Depositor.
For
the
purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as herein provided
and
for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number

Section
12.04Intention
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, or if for any other
reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in either
of 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.

affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement
or of the Certificates or the rights of the Holders thereof.
Section
12.07Limitation
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.

or in
any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust Fund,

the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth

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

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 sixty (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

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

ARTICLE
XIII
EXCHANGE
ACT REPORTING
Section
13.01Filing
Obligations.
The
Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and each Custodian
shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor and Securities Administrator
in
connection with the satisfaction of the Depositor’s reporting requirements under
the Exchange Act with respect to the Trust Fund. In addition to the information
specified below, if so requested by the Depositor in writing for the purpose
of
satisfying its reporting obligation under the Exchange Act, the Master Servicer,
the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and each Custodian shall (and the
Master Servicer shall cause each Servicer and subservicer to) provide the
Depositor with (a) such information which is available to such Person without
unreasonable effort or expense and within such timeframe as may be reasonably
requested by the Depositor to comply with the Depositor’s reporting obligations
under the Exchange Act and (b) to the extent such Person is a party (and the
Depositor is not a party) to any agreement or amendment required to be filed,
copies of such agreement or amendment in XXXXX-compatible form.
In
the
event that the Securities Administrator becomes aware that it will be 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 by 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 or for any other reason, the Securities
Administrator will promptly notify the Depositor. In the case of Form 10-D
and
10-K, the parties to this Agreement will cooperate and cause such other
Servicers or Servicing Function Participants, as applicable, to cooperate,
to
prepare and file a Form 12b-25 and a 10-DA and 10-KA as applicable, pursuant
to
Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act. In the case of Form 8-K, the Securities
Administrator will, upon receipt of all required Form 8-K Disclosure Information
and upon the approval and direction of the Depositor, include such disclosure
information on the next Form 10-D unless directed by the Depositor to file
a
Form 8-K with such Form 8-K Disclosure Information. In the event that any
previously filed Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K needs to be amended, the
Securities Administrator shall notify the Depositor and prepare any necessary
Form 8-KA, Form 10-DA or Form 10-KA. Any Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendment
to Form 8-K or Form 10-D shall be signed by a duly authorized representative
of
the Master Servicer. Any amendment to Form 10-K shall be signed by the
Depositor. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by
the
Securities Administrator of its duties under this Section 13.01 related to
the
timely preparation and filing of Form 15, a Form 12b-25 or any amendment to
Form
8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K is contingent upon each such party performing its
duties under this Section. The Securities Administrator 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 any such Form 15, Form 12b-25
or
any amendments to Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K, where such failure results
from the Securities Administrator’s inability or failure to receive on a timely
basis, any information from or on behalf of any other party hereto 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.
154
The
Securities Administrator shall promptly file, and exercise its reasonable best
efforts to obtain a favorable response to, no-action requests, or other
appropriate exemptive relief with the Commission seeking the usual and customary
exemption from such reporting requirements granted to issuers of securities
similar to the Certificates if and to the extent the Depositor shall deem any
such relief to be necessary or appropriate. Unless otherwise advised by the
Depositor, the Securities Administrator shall assume that the Depositor is
in
compliance with the preceding sentence. In no event shall the Securities
Administrator have any liability for the execution or content of any document
required to be filed by the 1934 Act. The Depositor agrees to promptly furnish
to the Securities Administrator, from time to time upon request, such further
information, reports, and financial statements within its control related to
the
Trust Agreement and the Mortgage Loans as the Depositor reasonably deems
appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the
Commission.
Section
13.02Form
8-K Filings.
The
Depositor shall prepare or cause to be prepared the initial current report
on
Form 8-K. Thereafter within four (4) Business Days after the occurrence of
an
event requiring disclosure in a current report on Form 8-K (each such event,
a
“Reportable
Event”),
and
if requested by the Depositor, the Master Servicer shall sign on behalf of
the
Depositor and the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file with the
Commission any Form 8-K, as required by the Exchange Act. 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 determined and prepared by and at the direction of the Depositor pursuant
to
this Section 13.02 and the Securities Administrator shall 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 this Section
13.02.
155
As
set
forth on Exhibit M hereto, for so long as the Trust is subject to the Exchange
Act reporting requirements, no later than the end of business on the second
(2nd)
Business Day after the occurrence of a Reportable Event each of the Securities
Administrator, the Custodians, the Master Servicer and the Depositor shall
be
required to provide to the Securities Administrator and Depositor, to the extent
known, in XXXXX-compatible form, or in such other form as otherwise agreed
upon
by the Securities Administrator and such party, the form and substance of any
Form 8-K Disclosure Information, if applicable and (ii) the Depositor shall
approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the
inclusion of the Form 8-K Disclosure Information. The Depositor shall be
responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the
Securities Administrator in connection with including any Form 8-K Disclosure
Information on Form 8-K pursuant to this paragraph.
After
preparing the Form 8-K, the Securities Administrator shall forward
electronically a draft copy of the Form 8-K to the Depositor for review. No
later than 12:00 noon New York City time on the fourth (4th) Business Day after
the Reportable Event, a duly authorized representative of the Master Servicer
shall sign the Form 8-K and return such signed Form 8-K to the Securities
Administrator, and no later than 5:30 p.m. New York City time on such Business
Day the Securities Administrator shall file such Form 8-K with the Commission.
If a Form 8-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 8-K needs
to
be amended, the Securities Administrator will follow the procedures set forth
in
Section 13.01. Promptly (but no later than one (1) Business Day) after filing
with the Commission, the Securities Administrator will make available on its
internet website (located at xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx) a final executed copy of each
Form
8-K prepared by the Securities Administrator. The signing party at the Master
Servicer can be contacted at 0000 Xxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx

parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Securities
Administrator of its duties under this Section 13.02 related to the timely
preparation and filing of Form 8-K is contingent upon such parties strictly
observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under
this
Section 13.02. The Securities Administrator 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 such Form 8-K, where such failure results
from the Securities Administrator’s inability or failure to receive on a timely
basis, any information from any other party hereto (other than an Affiliate)
needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 8-K, not resulting
from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
Section
13.03Form
10-D Filings.
Within
fifteen days after each Distribution Date (subject to permitted extensions
under
the Exchange Act and until a Form 15 is filed pursuant to Section 13.05), the
Securities Administrator shall prepare and file with the Commission, and the
Master Servicer shall sign on behalf of the Depositor any distribution report
on
Form 10-D required by the Exchange Act, in form and substance as required by
the
Exchange Act. The Securities Administrator shall file each Form 10-D with a
copy
of the related Monthly Statement attached thereto. Any disclosure in addition
to
the monthly statement that is required to be included on Form 10-D
(“Additional
Form 10-D Disclosure”)
shall
be determined and prepared by and at the direction of the Depositor pursuant
to
the following paragraph and the Securities Administrator 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 this Section 13.03.
156
As
set
forth on Exhibit N hereto, within five (5) calendar days after the related
Distribution Date, (i) certain parties to the GSAA Home Equity Trust 2007-5
Asset-Backed Certificates transaction shall be required to provide to the
Securities Administrator and the Depositor, to the extent known, in
XXXXX-compatible form, or in such other form as otherwise agreed upon by the
Securities Administrator and such party, the form and substance of any
Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, if applicable and (ii) the Depositor will
approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the
inclusion of the Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D. The Depositor
shall be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred
by the Securities Administrator in connection with any Additional Form 10-D
Disclosure on Form 10-D pursuant to this Section 13.03.
After
preparing the Form 10-D, the Securities Administrator shall forward
electronically a draft copy of the Form 10-D to the Depositor for review. No
later than two (2) Business Days following the tenth (10th) calendar day after
the related Distribution Date, a duly authorized representative of the Master
Servicer shall sign the Form 10-D and return such signed Form 10-D to the
Securities Administrator and Depositor, and no later than 5:30 p.m. New York
City time on the fifteenth (15th) calendar day after such Distribution Date
the
Securities Administrator shall file such Form 10-D with the Commission. If
a
Form 10-D cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-D needs
to be
amended, the Securities Administrator will follow the procedures set forth
in
Section 13.01. Promptly (but no later than one (1) Business Day) after filing
with the Commission, the Securities Administrator will make available on its
internet website (located at xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx) a final executed copy of each
Form

party to this Agreement acknowledges that the performance by the Securities
Administrator of its duties under this Section 13.03 related to the timely
preparation and filing of Form 10-D is contingent upon such parties strictly
observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under
this
Section 13.03. The Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator’s inability or failure to receive on a timely
basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange
for execution or file such Form 10-D, not resulting from its own negligence,
bad
faith or willful misconduct.
Form

filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the

such
filing requirements for the past 90 days.” The Depositor shall notify the
Securities Administrator in writing, no later than the fifth calendar day after
the related Distribution Date with respect to the filing of a report on Form
10-D if the answer to the questions should be “no”. The Securities Administrator
shall be entitled to rely on such representations in preparing, executing and/or

10-K,
disclosure that such report is not included and an explanation why such report

activities during the preceding calendar year or portion thereof and of such
party’s performance under this Agreement, or such other applicable agreement in
the case of an Additional Servicer, has been made under such officer’s
supervision and (ii) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such
review, such party has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement,
or
such other applicable agreement in the case of an Additional Servicer, in all
material respects throughout such year or portion thereof, or, if there has

the
Depositor, to the extent known, in XXXXX-compatible form, or in such other
form
as otherwise agreed upon by the Securities Administrator and such party, the
form and substance of any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure, if applicable, and
(ii) the Depositor shall approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove,
as
the case may be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-K Disclosure on Form
10-K. The Depositor shall be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses
assessed or incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection with
including any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure on Form 10-K pursuant to this

willful misconduct.

such
filing requirements for the past 90 days.” The Depositor shall notify the

on
upon each such servicing criteria assessment.
(2) Each
of
the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Custodians shall

Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining from each Servicer and subservicer
and delivering to the Depositor any servicer compliance statement required

meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, and (iii) which elements of the Servicing
Criteria will be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each
Subcontractor identified pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph.

a
condition to the utilization of any Subcontractor determined to be a Reporting
Subcontractor, the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator, as
applicable, shall cause any such Subcontractor used by such Person (or in the
case of the Master Servicer, any Servicer or any subservicer) for the benefit
of
the Depositor to comply with the provisions of Section 13.07 of this Agreement
to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were the Master Servicer (except
with respect to the Master Servicer’s duties with respect to preparing and
filing any Exchange Act Reports or as the Certifying Person) or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable. The Master Servicer or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, shall be responsible for obtaining from each
Subcontractor and delivering to the Depositor and the Master Servicer, any
assessment of compliance and attestation required to be delivered by such
Subcontractor under Section 13.07, in each case as and when required to be
delivered.

the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Trustee and the other 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.

only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the office designated

any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with the 1933
Act

of
a Certificate presented for registration in the name of an employee benefit
plan
subject to ERISA, or 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 Securities Administrator, which Opinion
of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Securities Administrator, the

holding of such Certificate will not constitute or result in a non-exempt
prohibited transaction within the meaning of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code

of such
consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment

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 [1R][2R][1RC][2RC][1RX][2RX] Certificate
(the
“Certificate”)
issued
pursuant to the Master Servicing and Trust Agreement (the “Agreement”),
among
GS Mortgage Securities Corp., as depositor (the “Depositor”),
Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”)
and as
a custodian, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer
(in such
capacity, the “Master
Servicer”),
Securities Administrator (in such capacity, the “Securities
Administrator”)
and as
a custodian, The Bank of New York Trust Company, National Association,
as a
custodian and U.S. Bank National Association, as a custodian. 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,
the
Securities Administrator 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 not 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
not a 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 not a 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.)
G-1
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 not a Permitted Transferee. In connection with
any such
Transfer by the Transferee, the Transferee agrees to deliver to the Securities
Administrator a certificate substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit
H
to the
Agreement (a “Transferor
Certificate”)
to the
effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to
which the
Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.
7. The
Transferee has historically paid its debts as they have come due, intends
to pay
its debts as they come due in the future, and understands that the taxes
payable
with respect to the Certificate may exceed the cash flow with respect thereto
in
some or all periods and intends to pay such taxes as they become due. 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.
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 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
one
of the following:

The present value of

as
applicable, does not exceed the sum of:
G-2
(i) the
present value of any consideration given to the Transferee to acquire such
Certificate;
(ii) the
present value of the expected future distributions on such Certificate;
and
(iii) 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.
ཥ
The
transfer of the Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections
1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly,
(i) 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;
(ii) 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;
(iii) the
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
(iv) 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.
o
None of the
above.
13. 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.
