This
Pooling and Servicing Agreement is dated as of August 1, 2006 (the “Agreement”),
among
GREENWICH CAPITAL ACCEPTANCE, INC., a Delaware corporation, as depositor (the
“Depositor”),
GREENWICH CAPITAL FINANCIAL PRODUCTS, INC., a New York corporation, as seller
(the “Seller”),
XXXXX
FARGO BANK, N.A., a national banking association, as master servicer (in such
capacity, the “Master
Servicer”)
and as
securities administrator (in such capacity, the “Securities
Administrator”),
XXXXXXX FIXED INCOME SERVICES INC., as credit risk manager (the “Credit Risk
Manager”) and DEUTSCHE BANK NATIONAL TRUST COMPANY, a national banking
association, as trustee and custodian (the “Trustee”).
PRELIMINARY
STATEMENT:
Through
this Agreement, the Depositor intends to cause the issuance and sale of the
DSLA
Mortgage Loan Trust Mortgage Loan Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-AR2
(the “Certificates”)
representing in the aggregate the entire beneficial ownership of the Trust
Fund,
the primary assets of which are the Mortgage Loans (as defined
below).
The
Depositor intends to sell the Certificates, to be issued hereunder in multiple
classes, which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership
interest in the Trust Fund. The Certificates will consist of seventeen classes
of certificates, designated as (i) the Class 1A-1A Certificates, (ii) the Class
1A-1B Certificates, (iii) the Class 2A-1A Certificates, (iv) the Class 2A-1B1
Certificates, (v) the Class 2A-1B2, (vi) the Class 2A-1B3, (vii) the Class
2A-1C, (viii) the Class M-1 Certificates, (ix) the Class M-2 Certificates,
(x)
Class M-3 Certificates, (xi) the Class M-4 Certificates, (xii) the Class M-5
Certificates, (xiii) the Class M-6 Certificates, (xiv) the Class M-7
Certificates, (xv) the Class C Certificates, (xvi) the Class P Certificates
and
(xvii) the Class R Certificates.
For
federal income tax purposes, the Trust Fund (exclusive of the Prefunding
Account, the assets held in the Basis Risk Reserve Fund, the Final Maturity
Reserve Trust and the Final Maturity Reserve Account (the “Excluded
Trust Property”))
comprises three REMICs in a tiered REMIC structure: the “Pooling REMIC,” the
“Lower-Tier
REMIC”
and
the
“Upper-Tier
REMIC.”
Each
Certificate, other than the Class R Certificate, shall represent ownership
of a
regular interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC, as described herein. The LIBOR
Certificates also
represent the right to receive (i) payments in respect of the Final Maturity
Reserve Account and (ii) payments in respect of Basis Risk Shortfalls from
the
Basis Risk Reserve Fund as provided in Section 5.07. The owners of the Class
C
Certificates beneficially own the Basis Risk Reserve Fund, the Final Maturity
Reserve Account and the Final Maturity Reserve Trust. The Class R Certificate
represents the sole class of residual interest in the Upper-Tier
REMIC.
The
Pooling REMIC will hold as its assets all of the assets constituting the Trust
Fund (exclusive of the Excluded Trust Property) and will issue interests (the
“Pooling
REMIC Regular Interests”)
(which
will be uncertificated and will represent the regular interests in the Pooling
REMIC) and a residual interest (the “Class PT-R Interest”) which will also be
uncertificated and which will represent the sole class of residual interest
in
the Pooling REMIC. The Trustee will hold the Pooling REMIC Regular Interests
as
assets of the Lower-Tier REMIC.
1
The
Lower-Tier REMIC will hold as its assets the Pooling REMIC Regular Interests
and
will issue interests (the “Lower-Tier
Regular Interests”)
(which
will be uncertificated and will represent the regular interests in the
Lower-Tier REMIC) and a residual interest (the “Class LT-R Interest”) which will
also be uncertificated and which will represent the sole class of residual
interest in the Lower-Tier REMIC. The Trustee will hold the Lower-Tier Regular
Interests as assets of the Upper-Tier REMIC.
For
purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the startup day for each REMIC created hereby
is the Closing Date. All REMIC regular and residual interests created hereby
will be retired on or before the Latest Possible Maturity Date.

The
interest rate with respect to the first three Distribution Dates
(and the
related Accrual Periods) for each of these Pooling REMIC Interests
is a
per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the Net Loan Rates
on the
first day of the related Due Period of only those Mortgage Loans
in the
related Loan Group that are Initial Mortgage Loans, weighted on the
basis
of their Stated Principal Balances as of the first day of the related
Due
Period. For each Distribution Date (and related Accrual Period)
thereafter, the interest rate for each of these Pooling REMIC Interests
shall be the Net WAC of the related Loan
Group.
|
(2) |
For
the first three Distribution Dates (and the related Accrual Periods)
each
of these Pooling REMIC Interests shall not accrue interest on their
principal balances, but shall be etitled to a specified portion of
the
interest that accrues on each Additional Mortgage Loan at a per annum
rate
equal to the excess, if any, of the Net Loan Rate for such Mortgage
Loan
over the rate at which interest is payable on such Mortgage Loan
(i.e.,
the Deferred Interest on the Mortgage Loan). For each Distribution
Date
(and related Accrual Period) thereafter, the interest rate for each
of
these Pooling REMIC Interests shall be the Net WAC of the related
Loan
Group.
|
(3) |
Each
of these Pooling REMIC Interests is an interest-only interest that
does
not have a principal balance. For each of the first three Distribution
Dates (and the related Accrual Periods) each of these Pooling REMIC
Interests shall be entitled to 100% of the interest payable at the
end of
the related Due Period at the applicable Net Loan Rate on each Mortgage
Loan in the related Loan Group that is an Additional Mortgage Loan.
For
each Distribution Date thereafter, each of these Pooling REMIC Interests
shall not be entitled to further distributions.
|
(4) |
The
PT-R Interest is the sole residual interest in the Pooling REMIC.
Ownership of the PT-R Interest is represented by the Class R Certificate.
|
2
On
each
Distribution Date, Available Funds for all Loan Groups shall be allocated among
the Pooling REMIC Interests in the following order of priority:
(i) |
First,
to each of the PT-1 and PT-2 Interests, in reduction of their principal
balances, an amount sufficient to cause the principal balance of
each such
Pooling REMIC Interest to equal the aggregate of the Stated Principal
Balances at the end of the related Due Period, after taking into
account
payments made during such Due Period, of the Mortgage Loans in the
related
Loan Group that are Initial Mortgage
Loans;
|
(ii) |
Second,
to each of the PT-1-PF and PT-2-PF Interests, in reduction of their
principal balances, an amount sufficient to cause the principal balance
of
each such Pooling REMIC Interest to equal the excess of the Pool
Collateral Balance for the related Loan Group at the end of the related
Due Period, after taking into account payments made during such Due
Period, over the principal balance of the PT-1 Interest, in the case
of
Loan Group 1, and the PT-2 Interests, in the case of Loan Group
2;
|
(iii) |
Third,
to make interest distributions on the Pooling REMIC Interests at
the
interest rates described above, provided,
however,
that any Net Deferred Interest for any Loan Group shall be allocated
among
and shall increase the principal balances of the Pooling REMIC Interests
in the same order of priority in which principal is distributed pursuant
to priorities (i) and (ii) above;
|
(iv) |
Finally,
any remaining amounts to the PT-R
Interest.
|
On
any
Distribution Date, after all distributions of Available Funds on such date,
Realized Losses shall be allocated among the Pooling REMIC Interests in the
same
order of priority in which principal is distributed among such Pooling REMIC
Interests pursuant to priorities (i) and (ii) above.
On
each
Distribution Date, Prepayment Penalty Amounts with respect to Loan Group 1
and
Loan Group 2 shall be distributed to the PT-1 Interest and the PT-2 Interest,
respectively.
Lower-Tier

The
following table sets forth (or describes) the designation, interest rate, and
initial principal balance of each Lower-Tier Interest in the Lower-Tier REMIC,

Interests):

The
interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related

balance but has a notional amount as of any Distribution Date equal
to the
Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans as of the first day
of the
related Due Period (or in the case of the first Distribution Date,
as of
the Cut-off Date). For any Distribution Date before the Distribution
Date
in August 2016, and any Distribution Date on and after the Distribution
Date in September 2026, it shall bear interest for the related Accrual
Period at a fixed rate of 0.00%, and for each Distribution Date on

The
LT-R Interest is the sole Class of residual interest in the Lower-Tier
REMIC. It does not have an interest rate or a principal balance.
|
On
each
Distribution Date, Available Funds shall be distributed in payment of principal
on the Lower-Tier Regular Interests as follows:
(i) |
concurrently
to the XX-0X-0X, XX-0X-0X, XX-0X-0X, XX-0X-0X0, XX-0X-0X0, XX-0X-0X0,
LT-
2A-1C, XX-X-0, XX-X-0, XX-X-0, XX-X-0, XX-X-0, LT-M-6, and LT-M-7
Interests until the principal balance of each such Lower-Tier Regular
Interest equals 50% of the Class Principal Balance of the Corresponding
Class of Certificates immediately after such Distribution Date;
|
(ii) |
to
the LT-Q Interest until its principal balance equals the excess,
if any,
of (I) the aggregate Pool Balance immediately after such Distribution
Date
over (II) the aggregate of the principal balances of the Lower-Tier
Regular Interests (other than the LT-Q and the LT-I Interests) after
taking into account distributions on such Distribution Date under
priority
(i) above; and
|
(iii) |
finally,
to the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, as distributions of interest
at the
interest rates shown in the table
above.
|

On
each
Distribution Date, after taking into account principal distributions under
priorities (i) and (ii) above, Realized Losses attributable to principal and
any
Net Deferred Interest shall each be allocated among the Lower-Tier Regular
Interests in the same manner that principal is distributed among such Lower-Tier
Regular Interests.

for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer all
the
right, title and interest of the Depositor, including any security interest
therein for the benefit of the Depositor, in and to (i) each Initial Mortgage
Loan identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, including the related Cut-off

Date
and all collections in respect of interest and principal due after the Initial

(vi)
any such amounts as may be deposited into and held by the Securities

principal due to the Depositor or the Master Servicer after the Initial Cut-off
Date with respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans. In exchange for such transfer
and assignment, the Depositor shall receive the Certificates.
It
is
agreed and understood by the Depositor, the Seller and the Trustee that it
is
not intended that any Mortgage Loan be included in the Trust Fund that is

The

rights of the Seller under the Servicing Agreement as if, for such purpose,
it
were the Depositor or the Seller, as applicable, including the Seller’s right to
enforce remedies for breaches of representations and warranties and delivery
of
the Mortgage Loans. The foregoing sale, transfer, assignment, set-over, deposit
and conveyance does not and is not intended to result in creation or assumption
by the Trustee of any obligation of the Depositor, the Seller or any other
Person in connection with the Mortgage Loans or any other agreement or
instrument relating thereto except as specifically set forth
herein.
55
In
connection with such transfer and assignment, the Seller, on behalf of the

to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Seller to
the
Trustee in accordance with this Agreement (or any Subsequent Transfer Agreement)
for the benefit of the Certificateholders by including (or deleting, in the
case
of Mortgage Loans that are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement)

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Master Servicer and
Securities Administrator are not responsible for monitoring any MERS Mortgage

With
respect to each Cooperative Loan, the Seller, on behalf of the Depositor,
does
hereby deliver to the Trustee (or Custodian) the related Cooperative Loan

of the Trustee in the related Mortgaged Property.
Assignments
of each Mortgage with respect to each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage
Loan (other than a Cooperative Loan) shall be recorded; provided,
however,
that
such assignments need not be recorded if, in the Opinion of Counsel (which

foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage. Subject

by the applicable recording office), the Seller shall properly record (or
the
Seller will cause the Servicer to properly record), at the expense of the
Seller
(with the cooperation of the Depositor, the Trustee and the Master Servicer),
in
each public recording office where the related Mortgages are recorded, each
assignment referred to in Section 2.01(v) above with respect to a Mortgage

The

review
described below and any exceptions noted on the exception report described
in
the next paragraph below, of the documents referred to in Section 2.01 above
and

other documents delivered to it constituting a Mortgage File, and that it

or will hold all such assets and such other assets included in the definition

“Trust Fund” in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and

The
Trustee further agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to review
each Mortgage File delivered to it and to certify and deliver to the Depositor,
the Seller, any NIMS Insurer and each Rating Agency an interim certification
in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-2, within 90 days after
the
Closing Date (or, with respect to any document delivered after the Startup
Day,
within 45 days of receipt and with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage,
within five Business Days after the assignment thereof) that, as to each
Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage
Loan
paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception
report annexed thereto as not being covered by such certification), (i) all
documents required to be reviewed by it pursuant to Section 2.01 of this
Agreement are in its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by
it and have not been mutilated, damaged or torn and relate to such Mortgage
Loan
and (iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing, the
information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items

set forth in the Mortgage File. It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting
such review, the Trustee is under no duty or obligation to inspect, review
or
examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to
determine that they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented
purpose or that they have actually been recorded or that they are other than
what they purport to be on their face.
No
later

Depositor, any NIMS Insurer, the Seller and each Rating Agency a final
certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G-3 evidencing the

62
If,
in
the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making or preparing, as the
case
may be, the certifications referred to above, the Trustee finds any document
or
documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or not conforming
to the requirements set forth herein, at the conclusion of its review the
Trustee (or the Custodian as its designated agent) shall promptly notify
the
Seller and the Depositor. In addition, upon the discovery by the Seller or
the
Depositor (or upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such
breach) of a breach of any of the representations and warranties made by
the
Seller in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage
Loan
that materially adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests of
the
related Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer in such Mortgage Loan,
the
party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other
parties to this Agreement.
The
Depositor and the Trustee intend that the assignment and transfer herein
contemplated constitute a sale of the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage
Notes
and the related documents, conveying good title thereto free and clear of
any
liens and encumbrances, from the Depositor to the Trustee and that such property
not be part of the Depositor’s estate or property of the Depositor in the event
of any insolvency by the Depositor. In the event that such conveyance is
deemed
to be, or to be made as security for, a loan, the parties intend that the
Depositor shall be deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Trustee
a
first priority perfected security interest in all of the Depositor’s right,
title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Notes
and
the related documents, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security
agreement under applicable law.
The
Trustee (or the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee) shall execute and deliver
to the Depositor on or prior to each Subsequent Transfer Date an acknowledgment
of receipt of the original Mortgage Note (with any exceptions noted),
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit G-1 hereto.
The
Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall, for the benefit
of
the Certificateholders, review each Mortgage File delivered to it for the
Subsequent Mortgage Loans and to certify and deliver to the Depositor, the
Seller and the Rating Agency an interim certification in substantially the
form
attached hereto as Exhibit G-2, within 45 days after each Subsequent Transfer
Date that, as to each Subsequent Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan
Schedule (other than any Subsequent Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Subsequent
Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception report annexed thereto
as
not being covered by such certification), (i) all documents required to be
delivered to it pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement are in its
possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and have not been
mutilated, damaged or torn and relate to such Subsequent Mortgage Loan and
(iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing, the
information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items
(i), (ii) and (iii) of the Mortgage Loan Schedule accurately reflects
information set forth in the Mortgage File. It is herein acknowledged that,
in
conducting such review, the Trustee and the Custodian on its behalf are under
no
duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any such documents,
instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that they are genuine,
enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have
actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be
on
their face.
63
No
later
than 90 days after each Subsequent Transfer Date, the Trustee or the Custodian
on behalf of the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor and the Seller a
final
certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G-3 (or a substantially
similar form) evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any
applicable exceptions noted thereon.
If,
in
the course of such review of the Mortgage Files relating to the Subsequent
Mortgage Loans, the Custodian finds any document constituting a part of a
Mortgage File which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01(b), the
Trustee shall cause the Custodian to list such as an exception in the Final
Certification; provided,
however,
that
the Trustee shall not make any determination as to whether (i) any
endorsement is sufficient to transfer all right, title and interest of the
party
so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage
Note or
(ii) any assignment is in recordable form or is sufficient to effect the
assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof under the mortgage to
which
the assignment relates. The Seller or Originator, as applicable, shall cure
any
such defect or repurchase or substitute for any such Mortgage Loan in accordance
with this Section 2.02.
SECTION 2.03. |
Repurchase
or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by the Originator and the
Seller.
|
(a) Upon
its
discovery or receipt of written notice of any materially defective document
in,
or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of the breach by the
Originator of any representation, warranty or covenant under the Purchase
Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects
the
value of that Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders
or
the Certificate Insurer, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Originator
of
such defect, missing document or breach and request that the Originator deliver
such missing document or cure such defect or breach within 90 days from the
date
that the Seller was notified of such missing document, defect or breach,
and if
the Originator does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect
or
breach in all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall enforce
the Originator’s obligation under the Purchase Agreement and cause the
Originator to repurchase that Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the
Repurchase Price (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) on or prior to the
Determination Date following the expiration of such 90 day period. It is
understood and agreed that the obligation of the Originator to cure or to
repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document
is
missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which
such
a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy
against
the Originator respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the
Trustee or any NIMS Insurer on behalf of the Certificateholders.
(b) Upon
discovery or receipt of written notice that a document does not comply with
the
requirements of Section 2.01 hereof, or that a document is missing from,
a
Mortgage File or of the breach by the Seller of any representation, warranty
or
covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or in Section 2.04 or
Section 2.08 hereof in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely
affects the value of that Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the
Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer, the Trustee (or the Custodian
as
its designated agent) shall promptly notify the Seller of such noncompliance,
missing document or breach and request that the Seller deliver such missing
document or cure such noncompliance or breach within 90 days from the date
that
the Seller was notified of such missing document, noncompliance or breach,
and
if the Seller does not deliver such missing document or cure such noncompliance
or breach in all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall
enforce
the Seller’s obligation under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and cause the
Seller to repurchase that Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase
Price on or prior to the Determination Date following the expiration of such
90
day period (subject to Section 2.03(e) below); provided,
however,
that, in
connection with any such breach that could not reasonably have been cured
within
such 90 day period, if the Seller shall have commenced to cure such breach
within such 90 day period, the Seller shall be permitted to proceed thereafter
diligently and expeditiously to cure the same within the additional period
provided under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; and, provided
further,
that,
in the case of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made
by
the Seller in Section 2.04 hereof, the Seller shall be obligated to cure
such
breach or purchase the affected Mortgage Loans for the Purchase Price or,
if the
Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged Property acquired with respect thereto
has been sold, then the Seller shall pay, in lieu of the Purchase Price,
any
excess of the Purchase Price over the Net Liquidation Proceeds received upon
such sale.
64
(c) The
Purchase Price or Repurchase Price (as defined in the related Purchase
Agreement) for a Mortgage Loan purchased or repurchased under this Section
2.03
or such other amount due shall be deposited in the Distribution Account on
or
prior to the next Determination Date after the Seller’s or the Originator’s
obligation to repurchase such Mortgage Loan arises. The Trustee, upon receipt
of
written certification from the Seller or the Originator of the related deposit
in the Distribution Account, shall release to the Seller or the Originator,
as
applicable, the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as
the
Seller or the Originator, as applicable, shall furnish to it and as shall
be
necessary to vest in the Seller or the Originator, as applicable, any Mortgage
Loan released pursuant hereto and the Trustee shall have no further
responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File (it being understood that
the
Trustee shall have no responsibility for determining the sufficiency of such
assignment for its intended purpose). In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage
Loan as provided above, the Seller may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed
from the Trust Fund (in which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan)
and
substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner
and
subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d) below. It is understood
and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure or to repurchase (or
to
substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing, a material
defect in a constituent document exists or as to which such a breach has
occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against the Seller
respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee on behalf
of
the Certificateholders.
The
Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement including, without limitation, any obligation of the Seller
to purchase a Mortgage Loan on account of missing or defective documentation
or
on account of a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant as described
in
this Section 2.03(c).
(d) If
pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.03(b), the Seller repurchases or
otherwise removes from the Trust Fund a Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage
Loan, the Seller shall take (or shall cause the applicable Servicer to take),
at
the expense of the Seller (with the cooperation of the Depositor, the Trustee
and the Master Servicer), such actions as are necessary either (i) cause
MERS to
execute and deliver an Assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer
the
Mortgage from MERS to the Seller and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed
from registration on the MERS® System in accordance with MERS’ rules and
regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on the MERS® System the Seller or
its designee as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.
65
(e) [Reserved].
(f) Any
substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage
Loans
made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) above must be effected prior to the last
Business Day that is within two years after the Closing Date. As to any Deleted
Mortgage Loan for which the Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Seller delivering
to
the Trustee, for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage
Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents
and
agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by Section
2.01 hereof, together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that each such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and
specifying the Substitution Adjustment (as described below), if any, in
connection with such substitution; provided,
however,
that, in
the case of any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage
Loan,
the Seller shall provide such documents and take such other action with respect
to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as are required pursuant to Section
2.01 hereof. The Trustee, shall acknowledge receipt for such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within five Business Days thereafter,
shall review such documents as specified in Section 2.02 hereof and deliver
to
the related Servicer, with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or
Loans, a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
G-2,
with any exceptions noted thereon. Within 180 days of the date of substitution,
the Trustee, shall deliver to the Seller and the Master Servicer a certification
substantially in the form of Exhibit G-3 hereto with respect to such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any exceptions noted thereon. Monthly
Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month
of
substitution are not part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Seller.
For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect
the collections and recoveries in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan in
the
Due Period preceding the month of substitution and the Depositor or the Seller,
as the case may be, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts
subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Seller
shall
give or cause to be given written notice to the Certificateholders that such
substitution has taken place, shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect
the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement
and
the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall
deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee, the
Master
Servicer and the Securities Administrator. Upon such substitution, such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the
Trust
Fund and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement
and, in
the case of a substitution effected by the Seller, the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, including, in the case of a substitution effected by the Seller
all
representations and warranties thereof included in the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement and all representations and warranties thereof set forth in Section
2.04 hereof, in each case as of the date of substitution.
For
any
month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Seller shall determine,
and
provide written certification to the Trustee and the Seller as to, the amount
(each, a “Substitution
Adjustment”),
if
any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans
exceeds the aggregate, as to each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan,
of
the principal balance thereof as of the date of substitution, together with
one
month’s interest on such principal balance at the applicable Net Loan Rate. On
or prior to the next Determination Date after the Seller’s obligation to
repurchase the related Deleted Mortgage Loan arises, the Seller will deliver
or
cause to be delivered to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the
Distribution Account an amount equal to the related Substitution Adjustment,
if
any, and the Trustee, upon receipt of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans and a written certification from the Seller of its remittance
of
the deposit to the Distribution Account, shall release to the Seller the
related
Mortgage File or Files and shall execute and deliver such instruments of
transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Seller shall
deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage
Loan released pursuant hereto.
66
In
addition, the Seller shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the NIMS
Insurer and the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
substitution (either specifically or as a class of transactions) will not
cause
an Adverse REMIC Event.
If such
Opinion of Counsel cannot be delivered, then such substitution may only be
effected at such time as the required Opinion of Counsel can be
given.
(g) Upon
discovery by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the Trustee
that
any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning
of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall
within
two Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties. In
connection therewith, the Seller shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations
set forth in Section 2.03(d), substitute one or more Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier
of
discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage
Loan.
Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set
forth in Section 2.03(b) above, if made by the Seller. The Trustee shall
reconvey to the Seller the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in
the
same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage
Loan
repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty.
(h) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, to the extent that any fact, condition or event with respect
to a
Mortgage Loan constitutes a breach of both (i) a representation or warranty
of
the Originator under the Purchase Agreement and (ii) a representation or
warranty of the Seller under this Agreement, in each case, which materially
adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein
of the
Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer, the Trustee shall first request
that the Originator cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan and
if the
Originator fails to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan within
60
days of receipt of such request from the Trustee, the Trustee shall then
request
that the Seller cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loans.

or
as of such date specifically provided herein:
(i) The
Seller is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing and has the
power and authority to own its assets and to transact the business in which
it
is currently engaged. The Seller is duly qualified to do business and is
in good
standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the business transacted

performance of this Agreement which is part of its official records. When
executed and delivered, this Agreement will constitute the Seller’s legal, valid

federally insured financial institutions and by the availability of equitable
remedies, (2) general equity principles (regardless of whether such enforcement

considerations limit the enforceability of the provisions of this Agreement
which purport to provide indemnification from securities laws
liabilities.
(iii) The

III
ADMINISTRATION
AND MASTER SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS;
CREDIT RISK MANAGER
SECTION
3.01. Master
Servicer to Service and Administer the Mortgage Loans.
The
Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the obligation of the
Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with
the
terms of the Servicing Agreement and shall have full power and authority
to do
any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable in connection
with
such master servicing and administration. In performing its obligations
hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a manner consistent with Accepted
Master Servicing Practices. Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall oversee
and
consult with the Servicer as necessary from time-to-time to carry out the
Master
Servicer’s obligations hereunder, shall receive, review and evaluate all
reports, information and other data provided to the Master Servicer by the
Servicer and shall cause the Servicer to perform and observe the covenants,
obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by the Servicer under
the
Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, the Servicing
Agreement or the Credit Risk Management Agreement to the contrary, the Master
Servicer shall have no duty or obligation to enforce the Credit Risk Management
Agreement or to supervise, monitor or oversee the activities of the Servicer
under the Credit Risk Management Agreement with respect to any action taken
or
not taken by the Servicer at the direction of the Seller or pursuant to a
recommendation of the Credit Risk Manager. The Master Servicer shall
independently and separately monitor the Servicer’s servicing activities with
respect to each related Mortgage Loan, reconcile the results of such monitoring
with such information provided in the previous sentence on a monthly basis
and
coordinate corrective adjustments to the Servicer’s and Master Servicer’s
records, and provide such reconciled and corrected information to the Securities
Administrator to enable it to prepare the statements specified in Section
5.04
and any other information and statements required of the Securities
Administrator hereunder.
The
Trustee shall furnish the Servicer and the Master Servicer with any limited
powers of attorney and other documents in form acceptable to the Trustee,
necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer and the Master Servicer to
service and administer the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property, which
limited powers of attorney shall provide that the Trustee will not be liable
for
the actions or omissions of the Servicer or Master Servicer in exercising
such
powers.
The
Master Servicer shall not without the Trustee’s written consent (i) initiate any
action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s name without indicating
the Master Servicer’s representative capacity or (ii) take any action with the
intent to cause, and which actually does cause, the Trustee to be registered
to
do business in any state. The Master Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee
for
any and all costs, liabilities and expenses incurred by the Trustee in
connection with the negligent or willful misuse of such powers of attorney
by
the Master Servicer.
The
Trustee shall provide access to the records and documentation in possession
of
the Trustee (including in its capacity as Custodian hereunder) regarding
the
related Mortgage Loans and REO Property and the servicing thereof to the
Certificateholders, the FDIC, and the supervisory agents and examiners of
the
FDIC, such access being afforded only upon reasonable prior written request
and
during normal business hours at the office of the Trustee; provided,
however,
that,
unless otherwise required by law, the Trustee 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. The Trustee shall allow
representatives of the above entities to photocopy any of the records and
documentation and shall provide equipment for that purpose at a charge that
covers the Trustee’s actual costs.
75
The
Trustee, upon written request of the Servicer or the Master Servicer, as
applicable, shall execute and deliver to the Servicer and the Master Servicer
any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents necessary or
desirable to (i) the foreclosure or trustee’s sale with respect to a Mortgaged
Property; (ii) any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor
on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage; (iii) obtain a deficiency judgment against
the
Mortgagor; or (iv) enforce any other rights or remedies provided by the Mortgage
Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or equity.
SECTION
3.02. REMIC-Related
Covenants.
For
as
long as each REMIC created hereunder shall exist, the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator shall act in accordance herewith to treat each such REMIC as
a
REMIC, and the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall comply with
any
directions of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Master Servicer to assure
such
continuing treatment. In particular, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator
and the Master Servicer shall not (a) sell or knowingly permit 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 repurchase of the Mortgage Loans
or
is otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement
or
the Trustee has received a REMIC Opinion prepared at the expense of the Trust
Fund; and (b) other than with respect to a substitution pursuant to the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.03 or 2.04 of this Agreement or as
otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, as applicable,
accept any contribution to any REMIC after the Startup Day without receipt
of a
REMIC Opinion.
SECTION
3.03. Monitoring
of Servicer.
(a) The
Master Servicer shall be responsible for reporting to the Trustee (on behalf
of
the Trust Fund) and the Depositor the compliance by the Servicer with its
duties
under the Servicing Agreement. In the review of the Servicer’s activities, the
Master Servicer may rely upon an officer’s certificate of the Servicer with
regard to the Servicer’s compliance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement.
In the event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines that the
Servicer should be terminated in accordance with the Servicing Agreement,
or
that a notice should be sent pursuant to the Servicing Agreement with respect
to
the occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would constitute grounds for
such
termination, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor, the Certificate
Insurer and the Trustee thereof, and the Master Servicer shall issue such
notice
or take such other action as it deems appropriate with Section 3.03(b)
below.
76
(b) The
Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trust Fund, any NIMS Insurer, the
Certificate Insurer and the Certificateholders, shall (acting as agent of
the
Trust Fund when enforcing the Trust Fund’s rights under the Servicing Agreement)
(i) enforce the obligations of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement,
and
(ii) in the event that the Servicer fails to perform its obligations in
accordance with the Servicing Agreement, subject to the preceding paragraph,
terminate the rights and obligations of such Servicer thereunder and act
as
servicer of the related Mortgage Loans or enter into a new Servicing Agreement
with a successor Servicer selected by the Master Servicer which the Master
Servicer shall cause the Trustee to acknowledge; provided,
however,
it is
understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period
of
transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions
can be
fully transferred to such successor Servicer. Such enforcement, including,
without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Servicing
Agreements and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such
form
and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer,
in
its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the
related
Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement
at
its own expense except as provided below, provided that the Master Servicer
shall not be required to prosecute or defend any legal action except to the
extent that the Master Servicer shall have received reasonable indemnity
for its
costs and expenses in pursuing such action from the Trust Fund.
(c) To
the
extent that the costs and expenses of the Master Servicer related to any
termination of the Servicer, appointment of a successor Servicer or the transfer
and assumption of servicing by the Master Servicer or a successor Servicer
with
respect to the Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) all
reasonable legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses
associated with an evaluation of the potential termination of the Servicer
as a
result of an event of default by such Servicer and (ii) all reasonable costs
and
expenses associated with the complete transfer of servicing, including all
servicing files and all servicing data and the completion, correction or
manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the successor servicer
to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise
to
enable the successor servicer to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance
with
the Servicing Agreement) are not fully and timely reimbursed by the terminated
Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of such
reasonable costs and expenses from the Distribution Account.
(d) The
Master Servicer shall require the Servicer to comply with the remittance
requirements and other obligations set forth in the Servicing
Agreement.
(e) If
the
Master Servicer acts as Servicer, it will not assume liability for the
representations and warranties of the predecessor Servicer, if any, that
it
replaces or for any errors, acts or omissions of such predecessor Servicer
occurring prior to the termination of such Servicer; provided,
however,
the
Master Servicer shall not be relieved of its liability, if any, as Master
Servicer under this Section 3.03(e).
SECTION
3.04. Fidelity
Bond.
(a) 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.
The
Master Servicer shall provide the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and any
NIMS
Insurer a copy of such policy and fidelity bond upon request.
77
(b) The
Master Servicer shall promptly report to the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer
and any NIMS Insurer any material changes that may occur in the Master Servicer
fidelity bond or the Master Servicer errors and omissions insurance policy
and
shall furnish to the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer, on request, certificates
evidencing that such bond and insurance policy are in full force and effect.
The
Master Servicer shall promptly report to the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer
and any NIMS Insurer all cases of embezzlement or fraud, if such events involve
funds relating to the Mortgage Loans. The total losses relating to the Mortgage
Loans, regardless of whether claims are filed with the applicable insurer
or
surety, shall be disclosed in such reports together with the amount of such
losses covered by insurance. If a bond or insurance claim report relating
to the
Mortgage Loans is filed with any of such bonding companies or insurers, the
Master Servicer shall promptly furnish a copy of such report to the Trustee,
the
Certificate Insurer and any NIMS Insurer. Any amounts relating to the Mortgage
Loans collected by the Master Servicer under any such bond or policy shall
be
promptly remitted by the Master Servicer to the Securities Administrator
for
deposit into the Distribution Account. Any amounts relating to the Mortgage
Loans collected by the applicable Servicer under any such bond or policy
shall
be remitted to the Master Servicer to the extent provided in the applicable
Servicing Agreement
SECTION
3.05. Power
to Act; Procedures.
The
Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans and shall have full
power and authority, subject to the REMIC Provisions and the provisions of
Article X hereof, to do any and all things that it may deem necessary or
desirable in connection with the master servicing and administration of the
Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to the power and authority (i)
to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Trust Fund
and the
Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents,
(ii)
to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the
Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages, (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds,
Liquidation Proceeds and Recoveries and (iv) to effectuate, in its own name,
on
behalf the Trust Fund, or in the name of the Trust Fund, foreclosure or other
conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage
Loan, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and
the
Servicing Agreement, as applicable; provided,
however,
that
the Master Servicer shall not (and, consistent with its responsibilities
under
Section 3.03, shall not permit the Servicer to) knowingly or intentionally
take
any action, or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably
within its control and the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein,
that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may
be,
would result in an Adverse REMIC Event unless the Master Servicer has received
an Opinion of Counsel (but not at the expense of the Master Servicer) to
the
effect that the contemplated action will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.
The Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer, upon written request from
a
Servicing Officer, with any limited powers of attorney empowering the Master
Servicer or the Servicer to execute and deliver instruments of satisfaction
or
cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and to foreclose
upon
or otherwise liquidate Mortgaged Property, and to appeal, prosecute or defend
in
any court action relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Property,
in
accordance with the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, and the Trustee
shall execute and deliver such other documents, as the Master Servicer may
request, to enable the Master Servicer to master service and administer the
Mortgage Loans and carry out its duties hereunder, in each case in accordance
with Accepted Master Servicing Practices (and the Trustee shall have no
liability for misuse of any such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer
or
the Servicer). In instituting foreclosures or similar proceedings, the Master
Servicer shall institute such proceedings either in its own name on behalf
of
the Trust Fund or in the name of the Trust Fund (or cause the Servicer, pursuant
to the Servicing Agreement, to institute such proceedings either in the name
of
the Servicer on behalf of the Trust, or in the name of the Trust Fund), unless
otherwise required by law or otherwise appropriate. If the Master Servicer
or
the Trustee has been advised that it is likely that the laws of the state
in
which action is to be taken prohibit such action if taken in the name of
the
Trust Fund or the Trustee on its behalf or that the Trust Fund or the Trustee,
as applicable, would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax
laws of such state if such action is taken in its name, the Master Servicer
shall join with the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund, in the appointment
of
a co-trustee pursuant to Section 8.10 hereof. In the performance of its duties
hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be an independent contractor and shall
not,
except in those instances where it is taking action in the name of the Trustee,
be deemed to be the agent of the Trustee on behalf of the Trust
Fund.
78
SECTION
3.06. Due-on-Sale
Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
To
the
extent provided in the Servicing Agreement and to the extent Mortgage Loans
contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master Servicer shall cause
the
Servicer to enforce such clauses in accordance with the Servicing Agreement.
If
applicable law prohibits the enforcement of a due-on-sale clause or such
clause
is otherwise not enforced in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, and,
as a
consequence, a Mortgage Loan is assumed, the original Mortgagor may be released
from liability in accordance with the Servicing Agreement.
SECTION
3.07. Release
of Mortgage Files.
(a) Upon
becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt
by
the Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been escrowed in
a
manner customary for such purposes for payment to Certificateholders on the
next
Distribution Date, the Servicer will, if required under the Servicing Agreement,
promptly furnish to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, two copies of
a
certification substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto signed by a
Servicing Officer or in a mutually agreeable electronic format which will,
in
lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer (which
certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received
in connection with such payment that are required to be deposited in the
Servicing Account maintained by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01 or
by the
Servicer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement have been or will be so deposited)
and shall request that the Trustee (or the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee)
deliver to the Servicer the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such
certification and request, the Trustee (or the Custodian, on behalf of the
Trustee), shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer
and
the Trustee (and the Custodian, if applicable) shall have no further
responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. Upon any such payment in
full,
the Servicer is authorized, to give, as agent for the Trustee, as the mortgagee
under the Mortgage that secured the Mortgage Loan, an instrument of satisfaction
(or assignment of mortgage without recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property
subject to the Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction or assignment,
as the
case may be, shall be delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto
against receipt therefor of such payment, it being understood and agreed
that no
expenses incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or
assignment, as the case may be, shall be chargeable to the Servicing
Account.
79
(b) From
time
to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage
Loan
and in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall execute
such
documents as shall be prepared and furnished to the Trustee by the Servicer
or
the Master Servicer (in form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) and as
are
necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. The Trustee (or the
Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee), shall, upon the request of the Servicer
or
the Master Servicer, and upon delivery to the Trustee (or the Custodian,
on
behalf of the Trustee), of two copies of a request for release signed by
a
Servicing Officer substantially in the form of Exhibit F (or in a mutually
agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face,
originate from a Servicing Officer), release the related Mortgage File held
in
its possession or control to the Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable.
Such trust receipt shall obligate the Servicer or the Master Servicer to
return
the Mortgage File to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee)
when the need therefor by the Servicer or the Master Servicer no longer exists
unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt
of a
certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that hereinabove specified,
the
Mortgage File shall be released by the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf
of
the Trustee), to the Servicer or the Master Servicer.
SECTION 3.08. |
Documents,
Records and Funds in Possession of Master Servicer to be Held for
Trust
Fund.
|
(a) The
Master Servicer shall transmit and the Servicer (to the extent required by
the
Servicing Agreement) shall transmit to the Trustee (or Custodian) such documents
and instruments coming into the possession of the Master Servicer or the
Servicer from time to time as are required by the terms hereof, or in the
case
of the Servicer, the Servicing Agreement, to be delivered to the Trustee
(or
Custodian). Any funds received by the Master Servicer or by the Servicer
in
respect of any Mortgage Loan or which otherwise are collected by the Master
Servicer or by the Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or
Recoveries in respect of any Mortgage Loan shall be held for the benefit
of the
Trust Fund and the Certificateholders subject to the Master Servicer’s right to
retain or withdraw from the Distribution Account the Master Servicing Fee,
any
additional compensation pursuant to Section 3.14 and any other amounts provided
in this Agreement, and to the right of the Servicer to retain its Servicing
Fee
and any other amounts as provided in the Servicing Agreement. The Master
Servicer shall, and (to the extent provided in the Servicing Agreement) shall
cause the Servicer to, provide access to information and documentation regarding
the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, any NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer,
their respective agents and accountants at any time upon reasonable request and
during normal business hours, and to Certificateholders that are savings
and
loan associations, banks or insurance companies, the Office of Thrift
Supervision, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of such Office
and Corporation or examiners of any other federal or state banking or insurance
regulatory authority if so required by applicable regulations of the Office
of
Thrift Supervision or other regulatory authority, such access to be afforded
without charge but only upon reasonable request in writing and during normal
business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it. In
fulfilling such a request the Master Servicer shall not be responsible for
determining the sufficiency of such information.
80
(b) All
Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the
Master Servicer, in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection
of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance
Proceeds or Recoveries, shall be held by the Master Servicer for and on behalf
of the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders and shall be and remain the sole
and exclusive property of the Trust Fund; provided,
however,
that
the Master Servicer and the Servicer shall be entitled to setoff against, and
deduct from, any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to
the
Master Servicer or the Servicer under this Agreement or the Servicing
Agreement.
SECTION
3.09. Standard Hazard Insurance and Flood Insurance
Policies.
(a) For
each
Mortgage Loan (other than a Cooperative Loan), the Master Servicer shall enforce
any obligation of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreements to maintain or
cause to be maintained standard fire and casualty insurance and, where
applicable, flood insurance, all in accordance with the provisions of the
Servicing Agreement. It is understood and agreed that such insurance shall
be
with insurers meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in the Servicing
Agreement and that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required
of any Mortgagor or to be maintained on property acquired in respect of a
defaulted loan, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations
as
shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional
insurance.
(b) Pursuant
to Sections 4.01 and 4.02, any amounts collected by the Servicer or the Master
Servicer under any insurance policies (other than amounts to be applied to
the
restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or
released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicing Agreement) shall
be
deposited into the Distribution Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to
Sections 4.02 and 4.03. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or the Servicer
in maintaining any such insurance if the Mortgagor defaults in its obligation
to
do so shall be added to the amount owing under the Mortgage Loan where the
terms
of the Mortgage Loan so permit; provided,
however,
that
the addition of any such cost shall not be taken into account for purposes
of
calculating the distributions to be made to Certificateholders and shall be
recoverable by the Master Servicer or the Servicer pursuant to Sections 4.02
and
4.03.
SECTION
3.10. Presentment of Claims and Collection of Proceeds.
The
Master Servicer shall (to the extent provided in the Servicing Agreement) cause
the Servicer to, prepare and present on behalf of the Trustee, the Trust Fund
and the Certificateholders all claims under the insurance policies and take
such
actions (including the negotiation, settlement, compromise or enforcement of
the
insured’s claim) as shall be necessary to realize recovery under such policies.
Any proceeds disbursed to the Master Servicer (or disbursed to the Servicer
and
remitted to the Master Servicer) in respect of such policies, bonds or contracts
shall be promptly deposited in the Distribution Account upon receipt, except
that any amounts realized that are to be applied to the repair or restoration
of
the related Mortgaged Property as a condition precedent to the presentation
of
claims on the related Mortgage Loan to the insurer under any applicable
Insurance Policy need not be so deposited (or remitted).
81
SECTION
3.11. Maintenance of the Primary Insurance Policies.
(a) The
Master Servicer shall not take, or authorize the Servicer (to the extent such
action is prohibited under the Servicing Agreement) to take, any action that
would result in noncoverage under any applicable Primary Insurance Policy of
any
loss which, but for the actions of the Master Servicer or Servicer, would have
been covered thereunder. The Master Servicer shall use its best reasonable
efforts to cause the Servicer (to the extent required under the Servicing
Agreement) to keep in force and effect (to the extent that the Mortgage Loan
requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance), primary mortgage insurance
applicable to each Mortgage Loan (including any lender-paid Primary Insurance
Policy) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Servicing
Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer shall not, and shall not permit
the Servicer (to the extent required under the Servicing Agreement) to, cancel
or refuse to renew any such Primary Insurance Policy that is in effect at the
date of the initial issuance of the Mortgage Note and is required to be kept
in
force hereunder except in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement
and
the Servicing Agreement, as applicable.
(b) The
Master Servicer agrees to cause the Servicer (to the extent required under
the
Servicing Agreement) to present, on behalf of the Trustee, the Trust Fund and
the Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary Insurance
Policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be
necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Insurance Policies respecting
defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to Sections 4.01 and 4.02, any amounts
collected by the Servicer under any Primary Insurance Policies shall be remitted
to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account, subject
to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.03.
SECTION
3.12. Trustee to Retain Possession of Certain Insurance Policies and
Documents.
The
Trustee (or the Custodian, as directed by the Trustee), shall retain possession
and custody of the originals (to the extent available) of any Primary Insurance
Policies, or certificate of insurance if applicable and available, and any
certificates of renewal as to the foregoing as may be issued from time to time
as contemplated by this Agreement and which come into its possession. Until
all
amounts distributable in respect of the Certificates have been distributed
in
full and the Master Servicer otherwise has fulfilled its obligations under
this
Agreement, the Trustee (or its Custodian, if any, as directed by the Trustee)
shall also retain possession and custody of each Mortgage File in accordance
with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Master
Servicer shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee (or
the
Custodian, as directed by the Trustee), upon the execution or receipt thereof
the originals of any Primary Insurance Policies, any certificates of renewal,
and such other documents or instruments that constitute portions of the Mortgage
File that come into the possession of the Master Servicer from time to
time.
82
SECTION
3.13. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
The
Master Servicer shall cause the Servicer (to the extent required under the
related Servicing Agreement) to foreclose upon, repossess or otherwise

reimbursed or paid, as the case may be, prior to final disposition, out of
any
net rental income or other net amounts derived from such REO
Property.
(d) To
the
extent provided in the Servicing Agreement, the Liquidation Proceeds from the

Custodian, and any Servicing Function Participant engaged by such parties as
to
the nature of any material instance of noncompliance with the Relevant Servicing
Criteria by each such party, and (ii) the Securities Administrator shall confirm

pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or any other applicable agreement,

on
the basis of an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards
for attestation engagements issued or adopted by the PCAOB, it is expressing
an
opinion as to whether such party’s compliance with the Relevant Servicing
Criteria was fairly stated in all material respects, or it cannot express an
overall opinion regarding such party’s assessment of compliance with the
Relevant Servicing Criteria. In the event that an overall opinion cannot be
expressed, such registered public accounting firm shall state in such report
why
it was unable to express such an opinion. Such report must be available for
general use and not contain restricted use language.
85
(ii) Promptly
after receipt of each such assessment of compliance and attestation report
the
Securities Administrator shall confirm that each assessment submitted pursuant
to subsection (a) of this Section 3.16 is coupled with an attestation meeting
the requirements of this Section and notify the Depositor of any
exceptions.
(iii) The
Master Servicer shall include each such attestation furnished to it by the
Servicer with its own attestation to be submitted to the Securities
Administrator pursuant to this Section.
