In the event that any Mortgage Note is endorsed in blank as of the Closing Date, promptly following the Closing Date the Servicer shall cause to be completed such endorsements “Pay to the order of JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as Trustee for the C-BASS Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2005-CB6, without recourse.”
48
In the event that any Assignments of Mortgage is not recorded or is improperly recorded (as a result of actions taken or not taken by a person other than the Servicer), neither the Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any liability for its failure to receive notices related to such Assignment of Mortgage.
The Depositor herewith delivers to the Trustee executed copies of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.
| Section 2.02 Acceptance by Trustee. |
The Trustee acknowledges its (or the Custodian’s) receipt of, subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to the review described below and any exceptions noted on the exception report described in the next paragraph below, the documents referred to in Section 2.01 above and all other assets included in the definition of “Trust Fund” and declares that it (or the Custodian) holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting a Mortgage File, and that it (or the Custodian) holds or will hold all such assets and such other assets included in the definition of “Trust Fund” in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.
The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to review (or cause the Custodian to review) each Mortgage File within 60 days after the Closing Date (or, with respect to any document delivered after the Startup Day, within 60 days of receipt and with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage, within 60 days after the assignment thereof) and to certify (or cause the Custodian to certify) in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1 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 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 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 (1), (2), (3), (5), (13) and (26) (in the case of (26), only as to whether there is a prepayment penalty) 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 (or the Custodian, as applicable) 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.
Prior to the first anniversary date of this Agreement the Trustee shall deliver (or cause the Custodian to deliver) to the Depositor and the Servicer a final certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F-2 evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.
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 (or the Custodian, as applicable) finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or defective in any material respect, at the conclusion of its review the Trustee (upon its notification by the Custodian) shall so notify the Seller, the Depositor and the Servicer. In addition, upon the discovery by the Seller, Depositor, the Trustee or the Servicer (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 related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the related Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.
49
The Depositor and the Trustee intend that the assignment and transfer herein contemplated constitute a sale of the Mortgage Loans 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, on behalf of the Trust, a first priority perfected security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and the Related Documents, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.
The Trustee is hereby directed to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Cap Contract on the Closing Date and thereafter on behalf of the Holders of the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5 and Class M-6 Certificates. The Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor and the Holders of the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5 and Class M-6 Certificates by acceptance of their Certificates acknowledge and agree that the Trustee shall execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Cap Contract and shall do so solely in its capacity as Trustee of the Trust Fund and not in its individual capacity.
The Trustee is hereby directed to represent and warrant to the Cap Contract Provider under the Cap Contract that the beneficial owner for United States federal income tax purposes of payments made under the Cap Contract is either:
(A) a “U.S. person” (as that term is used in section 1.1441-4(a) (3) (ii) of United States Treasury Regulations (the “Regulations”) ) for United States federal income tax purposes, or
(B) a “non-U.S. branch of a foreign person” as that term is used in section 1.1441-4(a) (3) (ii) of the Regulations for United States federal income tax purposes, and a “foreign person” as that term is used in section 1.6041-4(a) (4) of the Regulations for United States federal income tax purposes.
| Section 2.03 Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by the Seller. |
(a) Upon 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 Seller of any representation, warranty
or covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or in Section 2.04
in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects the value
of such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders,
the Trustee (or the Custodian, as applicable) shall promptly notify the Seller,
the Servicer and the Trustee of such defect, missing document or breach and
request that the Seller deliver such missing document or cure such defect
or breach within 120 days or 150 days following the Closing Date, in the
case of missing Mortgages or Assignments from the date the Seller was notified
of such missing document, defect or breach, and if the Seller does not deliver
such missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects
during such period, the Trustee shall enforce the Seller’s obligation
under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and inform the Seller of its obligation
to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price
on or prior to the Determination Date following the expiration of such 120
day period (subject to Section 2.03(e) ); provided that, in connection with
any such breach that is susceptible to cure but that could not reasonably
have been cured within such 120 day or 150 day period, if the Seller shall
have commenced to cure such breach within such 120 day or 150 day period,
the Seller shall be permitted to proceed thereafter diligently and expeditiously
to cure the same within 120 days. The Purchase Price for the repurchased
Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Collection Account, and the Trustee,
upon receipt of written certification from the Servicer of such deposit,
shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File and shall execute and
deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, representation or warranty, as the Seller shall furnish to it and
as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller any Mortgage Loan released pursuant
hereto and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility with regard to
such Mortgage File. 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 Defective Mortgage Loan) and substitute
one or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject
to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d). In addition to the foregoing,
in the case of a breach of the Seller’s representation set forth in
Section 3.01(f) of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Seller shall
reimburse the Trust for all costs or damages incurred by the Trust as a result
of the violation of such law (such amount, the “Reimbursement Amount”).
The Reimbursement Amount shall be delivered to the Servicer for deposit into
the Collection Account within 10 days from the date the Seller was notified
by the Trustee of the amount of such costs and damages. It is understood
and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to pay the Reimbursement Amount
and to either cure or repurchase (or 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 and the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.
50
(b) [Reserved].
(c) Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Servicer or receipt of notice by the Servicer of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Servicer set forth in Section 2.05 which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall cure such breach in all material respects.
(d) Any substitution of Eligible Substitute
Mortgage Loans for Defective Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a)
must be effected prior to the last Business Day that is within two years
after the Closing Date. As to any Defective Mortgage Loan for which the
Seller substitutes a Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution
shall be effected by the Seller delivering to the Trustee for such Eligible
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, together
with an Officer’s Certificate providing that each such Eligible Substitute
Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution
Adjustment Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with such
substitution. The Trustee shall acknowledge receipt for such Eligible Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within ten Business Days thereafter, shall
review (or cause the Custodian to review) such documents as specified in
Section 2.02 and deliver (or cause the Custodian to deliver) to the Servicer,
with respect to such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1, with any applicable
exceptions noted thereon. Within one year of the date of substitution,
the Trustee shall deliver (or cause the Custodian to deliver) to the Servicer
a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 hereto with respect
to such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any applicable
exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to Eligible
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 Defective Mortgage Loan in the Collection 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 Defective 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 Defective Mortgage Loan from the terms of this
Agreement and the substitution of the Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan
or Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule
to the Trustee. Upon such substitution, such Eligible Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the Mortgage Pool 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 applicable representations
and warranties thereof included in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
and all applicable representations and warranties thereof set forth in
Section 2.04, in each case as of the date of substitution.
51
For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Defective Mortgage Loans, the Servicer will determine the amount (the “Substitution Adjustment Amount”), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Defective Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate, as to each such Eligible 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 Mortgage Interest Rate. On the date of such substitution, the Seller will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the Substitution Adjustment Amount, if any, and the Trustee, upon receipt by it or the Custodian of the related Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and certification by the Servicer of such deposit, 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, representation or warranty, as the Seller shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Defective Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
In addition, the Seller shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund, including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on “prohibited transactions” under Section 860F(a) (l) of the Code or on “contributions after the startup date” under Section 860G(d) (l) of the Code, or (b) any REMIC formed under this Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding. 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.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto acknowledge that the functions of the Trustee with respect to the custody, acceptance, inspection and release of the Mortgage Files pursuant to Sections 2.01, 2.02 and 2.03 and preparation and delivery of the certifications in the form of Exhibit F-1 and Exhibit F-2 shall be performed by the Custodian pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Custodial Agreement. The fees and expenses of the Custodian shall be paid by the Servicer.
52

Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties contained in this Section that materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, the party discovering the breach shall give prompt written notice to the others and in no event later than two Business Days from the date of such discovery. Within ninety days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such missing or materially defective documentation or any such breach of a representation or warranty, the Seller shall promptly deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects, or in the event such defect or breach cannot be cured, the Seller shall repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or cause the removal of such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund and substitute for it one or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans, in either case, in accordance with Section 2.03.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Trustee and shall inure to the benefit of the Certificateholders notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement or assignment. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in Section 2.03(a) and (c) to cure, substitute for or repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and to reimburse the Trust the Reimbursement Amount, constitute the sole remedies available to the Certificateholders or to the Trustee on their behalf respecting a breach of the representations and warranties contained in this Section 2.04.

claiming through or under the Seller; provided, however, that
nothing in this Section 2.09 shall prevent or be deemed to prohibit the Seller

ARTICLE III ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF THE TRUST FUND |
| Section 3.01 Servicer to Act as Servicer. |
The Servicer, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and the normal and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage servicers, and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement and consistent with the standard of care which the Servicer uses and/or would use in servicing mortgage loans for its own account (the “Servicing Standards”).
Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Servicer’s reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Certificateholders; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not make future advances and (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) the Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would (i) change the Mortgage Interest Rate, defer or forgive the payment thereof of any principal or interest payments, reduce the outstanding principal amount (except for actual payments of principal) or extend the final maturity date with respect to such Mortgage Loan, (ii) [RESERVED], (iii) affect adversely the status of any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund as a REMIC or (iv) cause any REMIC to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would both (x) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1.860G-2(b) of the Treasury Regulations and (y) cause any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” after the Startup Day under the REMIC Provisions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of itself, and the Trustee, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Property. The Servicer shall make all required Servicing Advances and shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Applicable Regulations, and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be provided to them thereby. If reasonably required by the Servicer, the Trustee shall furnish the Servicer a power of attorney (substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit Q) and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.
59
In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall employ procedures including collection procedures and exercise the same care that it customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering mortgage loans for its own account giving due consideration to accepted mortgage servicing practices of prudent lending institutions and the Certificateholders’ reliance on the Servicer.
The Servicer shall give prompt notice to the Trustee of any action, of which the Servicer has actual knowledge, which action purports to (i) assert a claim against the Trust Fund or (ii) assert jurisdiction over the Trust Fund.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a Principal Prepayment in full, the Servicer may not waive any prepayment penalty or portion thereof required by the terms of the related Mortgage Note unless (i) the related Mortgage Loan is in default or foreseeable default and such waiver (a) is standard and customary in servicing mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans and (b) would, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such prepayment penalty and the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) (A) the enforceability thereof is limited (1) by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership, or other similar law relating to creditors’ rights generally or (2) due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment, or (B) the enforceability is otherwise limited or prohibited by applicable law or (iii) if the Servicer has not been provided with information sufficient to enable it to collect the prepayment penalty. In the event of a Principal Prepayment in full with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit R, no later than the third Business Day following the immediately succeeding Determination Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Servicer may waive a prepayment penalty in connection with a short sale or short payoff on a defaulted Mortgage Loan. If the Servicer has waived all or a portion of a prepayment penalty relating to a Principal Prepayment, other than as provided above, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee as soon as possible after the date of payoff, but in no event later than five business days from such date, for deposit into the Distribution Account the amount of such prepayment penalty (or such portion thereof as had been waived) for distribution in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Based solely on information provided to it by the Servicer, the Trustee shall prepare and deliver to the Depositor and the owners of the Class N and Class X Certificates, on a monthly basis, a statement setting forth the amounts received with respect to prepayment penalties.
| Section 3.02 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments. |
Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans are paid in full, the Servicer will diligently collect all payments due under each Mortgage Loan when the same shall become due and payable and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any related Primary Insurance Policy and Applicable Regulations, follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Further, the Servicer will take special care in ascertaining and estimating annual ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, fire and hazard insurance premiums, mortgage insurance premiums, and all other charges that, as provided in the Mortgage, will become due and payable to that end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.
60
| Section 3.03 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans. |
In the event that any payment due under any Conventional Mortgage Loan is not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Mortgagor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, the Servicer shall take such action as it shall deem to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders. With respect to any defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall have the right to review the status of the related forbearance plan and, subject to the second paragraph of Section 3.01, may modify such forbearance plan; including, extending the Mortgage Loan repayment date for a period of one year or reducing the Mortgage Interest Rate up to 50 basis points.
In connection with a foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall exercise such rights and powers vested in it hereunder and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as prudent mortgage servicers would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of their own affairs and consistent with Applicable Regulations and the servicing standards set forth in the Xxxxxx Xxx Guide, including, without limitation, advancing funds for the payment of taxes and insurance premiums with respect to first lien Mortgage Loans.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Servicer has received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall not either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to, such Mortgaged Property if, as a result of any such action, the Trust Fund would be considered to hold title to, to be a mortgagee-in-possession of, or to be an owner or operator of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Servicer has also previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a prudent report prepared by a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry standards, that:
A. such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or, if not, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders to take such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance therewith; and
B. there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if any such materials are present for which such action could be required, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders to take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.
The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 3.03 shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.05(ii).
If the Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders to take such actions as are necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders. The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.05(ii).
61
| Section 3.04 Collection Account and Distribution Account. |
(a) The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Collection Accounts. Each Collection Account shall be an Eligible Account.
The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account on a daily basis within two Business Days of receipt, and retain therein, the following payments and collections received or made by it after the Cut-off Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans:
(i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans adjusted to the Mortgage Interest Rate less the Servicing Fee Rate;
(iii) all proceeds from a Cash Liquidation;
(iv) all Insurance Proceeds including amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.10, other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures, the loan documents or applicable law;
(v) all Condemnation Proceeds affecting any Mortgaged Property which are not released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures, the loan documents or applicable law; and
(vi) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer in connection with any REO Property pursuant to Section 3.13.
Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Collection Account, subject to Section 3.25, shall accrue to the benefit of the Servicer and the Servicer shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(v). The foregoing requirements for deposit from the Collection Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges, prepayment charges that are not prepayment penalties, and assumption fees need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account.
(b) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Trustee shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (such account or accounts, the “Distribution Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee in immediately available funds for deposit in the Distribution Account by the close of business New York time on the Servicer Remittance Date, that portion of the Available Funds (calculated without regard to the references in the definition thereof to amounts that may be deposited to the Distribution Account from a different source as provided herein) then on deposit in the Collection Account. Amounts in the Distribution Account shall be deemed to be held on behalf of the related REMICs and the Grantor Trust in accordance with the REMIC distributions set forth in Section 4.08. Funds on deposit in the Distribution Account will remain uninvested.
62
(c) Funds in the Collection Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 3.25. The Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee certifying the location of the Collection Account maintained by it when established and prior to any change thereof. The Trustee shall give notice to the Servicer and the Depositor of the location of the Distribution Account when established and prior to any change thereof.
(d) In the event the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time in writing request that the Trustee withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account and remit to the Servicer any such amount, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In addition, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee from time to time for deposit, and the Trustee shall so deposit, in the Distribution Account in respect of REMIC 1:
(i) any Advances, as required pursuant to Section 4.07;
(ii) any Stayed Funds, as soon as permitted by the federal bankruptcy court having jurisdiction in such matters;
(iii) any prepayment penalties or amounts in connection with the waiver of such prepayment penalties, in each case required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.01;
(iv) any amounts required to be deposited in the Distribution Account pursuant to Sections 2.03, 3.04, 3.15, 3.16, 3.23 or 4.07; and
(v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11 in connection with the deductible clause in any blanket hazard insurance policy, such deposit being made from the Servicer’s own funds, without reimbursement therefor.
(e) Promptly upon receipt of any Stayed Funds, whether from the Servicer, a trustee in bankruptcy, or federal bankruptcy court or other source, the Trustee shall notify the Servicer of such receipt and deposit such funds in the Distribution Account, subject to withdrawal thereof as permitted hereunder.
| Section 3.05 Permitted Withdrawals From the Collection Account. |
The Servicer may, from time to time, withdraw from the Collection Account for the following purposes:
(i) to remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account the amounts required to be so remitted pursuant to Section 3.04(b) or permitted to be so remitted pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3.04(d) or clause (ii) of the first sentence of the second paragraph of Section 4.07(b);
(ii) to reimburse itself for (a) Advances and Servicing Advances to the extent of amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent payments of (x) principal and/or interest respecting which any such Advance was made or (y) Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds respecting which any such Servicing Advance was made; or (b) any unreimbursed Advances to the extent of funds held in the Collection Account for future distributions that were not included in Available Funds for the preceding Distribution Date (provided, however,any funds so applied will be replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account no later than one Business Day prior to the Distribution Date on which such funds are required to be distributed) and to reimburse itself for Advances and Servicing Advances made in connection with the modification of a Mortgage Loan where (x) such advance is added to the unpaid principal balance or (y) a portion of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is forgiven;
63
(iii) to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances, any unpaid Servicing Fees and for unreimbursed Advances to the extent that such amounts are deemed to be Nonrecoverable Advances and to reimburse itself for such amounts to the extent that such amounts are nonrecoverable from the disposition of the related REO Property or have been written-off pursuant to Section 3.13 hereof;
(iv) to reimburse itself for any amounts paid pursuant to Section 3.03 (and not otherwise previously reimbursed);
(v) to pay to itself as servicing compensation (a) any interest earned on funds in the Collection Account (all such interest to be withdrawn monthly not later than each Servicer Remittance Date) and (b) the Servicing Fee from that portion of any payment or recovery as to interest to a particular Mortgage Loan to the extent not retained pursuant to Section 3.04(d);
(vi) to pay or reimburse itself for any amounts payable or paid pursuant to Section 6.03 (and not otherwise previously reimbursed) and to reimburse itself as set forth in Section 9.01(c); and
(vii) to clear and terminate the Collection Account upon the termination of this Agreement.
The foregoing requirements for withdrawal from the Collection Account shall be exclusive. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
| Section 3.06 Establishment of Escrow Account; Deposits in Escrow Account. |
The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts. A copy of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Trustee upon request. The Escrow Account shall be an Eligible Account.
64
The Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account on a daily basis within two Business Days of receipt, and retain therein, (i) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) all Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property. The Servicer shall make withdrawals therefrom only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes as shall be set forth in, or in accordance with, Section 3.07. The Servicer shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor and, to the extent required by the related Mortgage Loan or Applicable Regulations, the Servicer shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account is non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.
| Section 3.07 Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account. |
Withdrawals from the Escrow Account may be made by the Servicer (i) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, fire, flood and hazard insurance premiums, Primary Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, and comparable items, (ii) to reimburse the Servicer for any Servicing Advance made by the Servicer with respect to a related Mortgage Loan but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments or Late Collections of Escrow Payments thereunder, (iii) to refund to the Mortgagor any funds as may be determined to be overages, (iv) for transfer to the Collection Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (v) for application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property, (vi) to pay to the Servicer, or to the Mortgagor to the extent required by the related Mortgage Loan or Applicable Regulations, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account, (vii) to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement or (viii) to transfer to the Collection Account any insurance proceeds. As part of its servicing duties, the Servicer shall pay to the Mortgagor interest on funds in the Escrow Account, to the extent required by the related Mortgage Loan or Applicable Regulations, and to the extent that interest earned on funds in the Escrow Account is insufficient, shall pay such interest from its own funds, without any reimbursement therefor.
In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Escrow Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
| Section 3.08 Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges; Collections Thereunder. |
With respect to each first lien Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of Primary Insurance Policy premiums and fire, flood and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges (including renewal premiums) and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or Applicable Regulations. To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall (i) determine whether any such payments are made by the Mortgagor in a manner and at a time that is necessary to avoid the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure as a result of a tax lien and (ii) ensure that all insurance required to be maintained on the Mortgaged Property pursuant to this Agreement is maintained. If any such payment has not been made and the Servicer receives notice of a tax lien with respect to the Mortgage Loan being imposed, the Servicer will, to the extent required to avoid loss of the Mortgaged Property, advance or cause to be advanced funds necessary to discharge such lien on the Mortgaged Property. The Servicer assumes full responsibility for the payment of all such bills and shall effect payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make Servicing Advances from its own funds to effect such payments.
65
The Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, as mortgagee, will maintain in full force and effect (to the extent a Mortgage Loan has a Primary Insurance Policy) a Primary Insurance Policy issued by a Qualified Insurer with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which such coverage is required. Such coverage will be maintained until the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio of the related Mortgage Loan is reduced to 80% or less. The Servicer will not cancel or refuse to renew any Primary Insurance Policy in effect on the Closing Date that is required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement Primary Insurance Policy for such cancelled or non-renewed policy is obtained from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer. The Servicer shall not take any action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 3.14, the Servicer shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under the Primary Insurance Policy. If such Primary Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Servicer shall obtain a replacement Primary Insurance Policy as provided above.
In connection with its activities as servicer, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Trustee, claims to the insurer under any Primary Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policies and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Insurance Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 3.04, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any Primary Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05.
| Section 3.09 Transfer of Accounts. |
The Servicer may transfer the Collection Account or the Escrow Account to a different depository institution from time to time. Upon such transfer, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor, a certification or letter agreement, as the case may be, as required pursuant to Sections 3.04 and 3.06.
| Section 3.10 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance. |
The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each first lien Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements which are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis or (ii) the Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan, in each case in an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the Mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Flood Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and flood insurance has been made available, the Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (i) the Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (iii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. The Servicer shall also maintain on the REO Property for the benefit of the Certificateholders, (x) fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the replacement cost of the improvements which are a part of such property, (y) public liability insurance and, (z) to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in an amount as provided above. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures, shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is required to be maintained by the Servicer or the Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to such Applicable Regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. All such policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Servicer and shall provide for at least thirty days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the amount of or material change in coverage to the Servicer. The Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies currently reflect a general policy rating of B:VI or better in Best’s Key Rating Guide and are licensed to do business in the state wherein the property subject to the policy is located.
66
| Section 3.11 Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy. |
In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy issued by an insurer that has a general policy rating of B:VI or better in Best’s Key Rating Guide insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 3.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 3.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 3.10, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with Section 3.10, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause, which amount shall not be reimbursable to the Servicer from the Trust Fund. In connection with its activities as servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of the Trustee, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. Upon request of the Trustee, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee a certified true copy of such policy and a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty days prior written notice to the Trustee.
| Section 3.12 Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance. |
The Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond (the “Fidelity Bond”) and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with financially responsible companies on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loans to handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loans. The Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker’s Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. Such Fidelity Bond shall also protect and insure the Servicer against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 3.12 requiring the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by Xxxxxx Xxx in the Xxxxxx Mae MBS Selling and Servicing Guide or by Xxxxxxx Mac in the Xxxxxxx Mac Servicer’s Guide. Each year, together with the Annual Statement as to compliance delivered pursuant to Section 3.19, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee proof of coverage of the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy.
67
| Section 3.13 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property and Certain Delinquent Mortgage Loans. |
(a) In the event that title to a Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken (pursuant to a limited power of attorney to be provided by the Trustee to the Servicer) in the name of the Trustee or a nominee thereof, on behalf of the Certificateholders, or in the event the Trustee or a nominee thereof is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be consistent with an Opinion of Counsel obtained by the Servicer from an attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. Any Person or Persons holding such title other than the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit of the Trustee.
(b) In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any REO Property as aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall dispose of such REO Property before the end of the third calendar year beginning after the year of its acquisition by the Trust Fund for purposes of Section 860G(a) (8) of the Code or if the Trust Fund has received (at the expense of the Trust Fund) from the Internal Revenue Service an extension of the period during which it may hold such REO Property without such REO Property failing to be treated as “foreclosure property” (within the meaning of Section 860G(a) (8) of the Code), before the end of such extension, unless the Servicer obtains an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Servicer and the Trustee, to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to such period will not: (i) result in the imposition of any tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F of the Code; or (ii) cause any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, in which case the Trust Fund may continue to hold such REO Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel). The Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Collection Account for any costs incurred in obtaining such Opinion of Counsel, as provided in Section 3.05.
Subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force, and notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, no REO Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would: (i) cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a) (8) of the Code; or (ii) subject any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund to the imposition of any federal income taxes on the income earned from such REO Property, including any taxes imposed by reason of Sections 860F or 860G(c) of the Code, unless the Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.
The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Certificateholders and the Trust Fund solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a) (8) of the Code or result in the receipt by the related REMIC of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a) (2) (B) of the Code, or any “net income from foreclosure property” which is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions. The Servicer shall cause each REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the acquisition of title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least annually thereafter. The Servicer shall make or cause to be made a written report of each such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Mortgage Servicing File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Servicer to the Trustee upon request. The Servicer shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same) on such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders and the Trust Fund.
68
With respect to each REO Property, the Servicer shall account separately for each REO Property with respect to all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of such REO Property.
The Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited, on a daily basis, within two Business Days of receipt, in the Collection Account, all revenues received with respect to each REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the related REO Property, including the cost of maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof and the fees of any managing agent acting on behalf of the Servicer.
The Servicer shall furnish to the Trustee, on each Servicer Remittance Date, an operating statement for each REO Property covering the operation of each REO Property for the previous month. Such operating statement shall be accompanied by such other information as the Trustee shall reasonably request.
The Servicer shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as promptly as is practically consistent with protecting the Certificateholders’ interests.
Each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders. If as of the date title to any REO Property was acquired by the Servicer there were outstanding unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to the REO Property or the related Mortgage Loan, the Servicer, upon an REO Disposition of such REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances from proceeds received in connection with such REO Disposition. The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any payment to the Servicer as provided above, shall be deposited in the Collection Account for distribution on the succeeding Servicer Remittance Date in accordance with Section 4.01.
Any REO Disposition shall be for cash only (unless changes in the REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale for other consideration and an Opinion of Counsel is obtained by the Servicer to the effect that such sale shall not cause any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC).
(c) The Servicer may write-off any Second Lien Mortgage Loan that has been Delinquent for a period of 180 days or more if the Servicer determines that any amount that could be recovered on such Mortgage Loan would be less than the cost required to achieve such recovery.
| Section 3.14 Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption and Substitution Agreements. |
When a Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance or prospective conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of the related Mortgage Loan under any “due-on-sale” clause contained in the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not exercise any such right if the “due-on-sale” clause, in the reasonable belief of the Servicer, is not enforceable under applicable law. An Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the Servicer (which expense shall constitute a Servicing Advance) delivered to the Trustee and the Depositor to the foregoing effect shall conclusively establish the reasonableness of such belief. In such event, the Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to enter into an assumption and modification agreement with the Person to whom such property has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such Person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable law or the Mortgage, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. If the foregoing is not permitted under applicable law, the Servicer is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such Person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Note. In addition to the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be required to enforce any “due-on-sale” clause if, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, entering into an assumption and modification agreement with a person to whom such Mortgaged Property shall be conveyed and releasing the original Mortgagor from liability would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders. The Mortgage Loan, as assumed, shall conform in all respects to the requirements, representations and warranties of this Agreement. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such assumption or substitution agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee (or the Custodian, as the case may be) the original copy of such assumption or substitution agreement (indicating the Mortgage File to which it relates) which copy shall be added by the Trustee (or the Custodian, as the case may be) to the related Mortgage File and which shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. The Servicer shall be responsible for recording any such assumption or substitution agreements. In connection with any such assumption or substitution agreement, the Monthly Payment on the related Mortgage Loan shall not be changed but shall remain as in effect immediately prior to the assumption or substitution, the stated maturity or outstanding principal amount of such Mortgage Loan shall not be changed nor shall any required monthly payments of principal or interest be deferred or forgiven. Any fee collected by the Servicer for consenting to any such conveyance or entering into an assumption or substitution agreement shall be retained by or paid to the Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
69
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.
| Section 3.15 Notification of Adjustments. |
On each Adjustment Date, the Servicer shall make Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments for each Group I Mortgage Loan in compliance with the requirements of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note and Applicable Regulations. The Servicer shall execute and deliver the notices required by each Mortgage and Mortgage Note and Applicable Regulations regarding Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments. The Servicer also shall provide timely notification to the Trustee of all applicable data and information regarding such Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments and the Servicer’s methods of implementing such Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments. Upon the discovery by the Servicer or the Trustee that the Servicer has failed to adjust or has incorrectly adjusted a Mortgage Interest Rate or a Monthly Payment pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account from its own funds the amount of any interest loss caused thereby without reimbursement therefor; provided, however, the Servicer shall be held harmless with respect to any Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments made by any servicer prior to the Servicer.
| Section 3.16 Optional Purchases of Mortgage Loans by Servicer. |
The Servicer (or an affiliate of the Servicer) may, at its option, repurchase a Mortgage Loan or REO Property which becomes 120 or more days Delinquent or for which the Servicer has accepted a deed in lieu of foreclosure, during the period commencing on the first day of the calendar quarter succeeding the calendar quarter in which the Initial Delinquency Date occurred with respect to such Mortgage Loan and ending on the last Business Day of such calendar quarter. If the Servicer (or an affiliate of the Servicer) does not exercise its purchase right with respect to a Mortgage Loan during the period specified in the preceding sentence, such Mortgage Loan shall thereafter again become eligible for purchase pursuant to the preceding sentence only after the Mortgage Loan ceases to be 120 days or more Delinquent and thereafter becomes 120 days Delinquent again. The “Initial Delinquency Date” of a Mortgage Loan shall mean the date on which the Mortgage Loan first became 120 days Delinquent. Prior to repurchase pursuant to this Section 3.16, the Servicer shall be required to continue to make monthly advances pursuant to Section 4.07. The Servicer shall not use any procedure in selecting Mortgage Loans to be repurchased which is materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders. The Servicer shall purchase such (i) delinquent Mortgage Loan at a price equal to the Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan plus accrued interest thereon at the Mortgage Interest Rate from the date to which interest has last been paid to the Trust Fund to the date of purchase plus any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances or (ii) REO Property at its fair market value as determined in good faith by the Servicer. Any such repurchase of a Mortgage Loan or REO Property pursuant to this Section 3.16(a) shall be accomplished by delivery to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account of the amount of the purchase price. The Trustee shall immediately effectuate the conveyance of such delinquent Mortgage Loan or REO Property to the Servicer to the extent necessary, including the prompt delivery of all necessary documentation provided by it to the Servicer.
70
| Section 3.17 Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Files. |
(a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan (including any liquidation of such Mortgage Loan through foreclosure or otherwise, or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes), the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee (or the Custodian as the case may be) two executed copies of a completed “Request for Release” in the form of Exhibit E. Upon receipt of such Request for Release of Documents, the Trustee (or the Custodian as the case may be) shall promptly release the related Mortgage File, in trust to (i) the Servicer, or (ii) such other party identified in the related Request for Release. Upon any such payment in full, or the receipt of such notification that such funds have been placed in escrow, the Servicer shall direct the Trustee in writing to execute an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of Mortgage without recourse, representation or warranty) regarding the Mortgaged Property relating to such 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 payment in full, it being understood and agreed that no expense incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be chargeable to the Collection Account. In lieu of executing any such satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, the Servicer may prepare and submit to the Trustee a satisfaction (or assignment without recourse, representation or warranty if requested by the Person or Persons entitled thereto) in form for execution by the Trustee with all requisite information completed by the Servicer; in such event, the Trustee shall execute and acknowledge such satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, and deliver the same with the related Mortgage File, as aforesaid.
(b) From time to time and as appropriate in
the servicing of any Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, foreclosure
or other comparable conversion of a Mortgage Loan or collection under any
insurance policy relating to a Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall (except
in the case of the payment or liquidation pursuant to which the related
Mortgage File is released to an escrow agent or an employee, agent or attorney
of the Trustee), upon written request of the Servicer and delivery to the
Trustee (or the Custodian, as the case may be) of two executed copies of
a “Request for Release” in the form of Exhibit E signed by
a Servicing Officer, release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer
and shall execute such documents as shall be necessary to the prosecution
of any such proceedings, including, without limitation, an assignment without
recourse, representation or warranty of the related Mortgage to the Servicer.
Such receipt shall obligate the Servicer to return the Mortgage File to
the Trustee (or the Custodian, as the case may be) when the need therefor
by the Servicer no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated,
in which case, upon receipt of a Request for Release evidencing such liquidation,
the receipt shall be released by the Trustee (or the Custodian, as the
case may be) to the Servicer.
71
(c) Subject to Section 3.01, the Servicer shall have the right to accept applications of Mortgagors for consent to (i) partial releases of Mortgages, (ii) alterations, (iii) removal, demolition or division of properties subject to Mortgages and (iv) second mortgage subordination agreements. No application for approval shall be considered by the Servicer unless: (w) it has received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee (which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund) that such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution will not affect adversely the status of any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund as a REMIC or cause any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions; (x) the provisions of the related Note and Mortgage have been complied with; (y) the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio and debt-to-income ratio after any release does not exceed the maximum Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio and debt-to-income ratio established in accordance with the underwriting standards of the Mortgage Loans; and (z) the lien priority of the related Mortgage is not affected. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Servicing Officer’s certificate setting forth the action proposed to be taken in respect of a particular Mortgage Loan and certifying that the criteria set forth in the immediately preceding sentence have been satisfied, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer the consent or partial release so requested by the Servicer. A proposed form of consent or partial release, as the case may be, shall accompany any Servicing Officer’s certificate delivered by the Servicer pursuant to this paragraph.
| Section 3.18 Servicing Compensation. |
As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain the amount of the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan (including REO Properties). The Servicer shall be entitled to retain additional servicing compensation in the form of release fees, bad check charges, assumption fees, modification or extension fees, late payment charges, customary real-estate referral fees or any other service-related fees, Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds not required to be deposited in the Collection Account or the Distribution Account and similar items, to the extent collected from Mortgagors.
| Section 3.19 Annual Statement as to Compliance. |
(a) The Servicer, at its own expense, will deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor, not later than March 15 of each year, commencing in 2006, a Servicing Officer’s certificate stating, as to each signer thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during such preceding fiscal year (or such shorter period in the case of the first such report) and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers’ supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement for such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of all such obligations, specifying each such default known to such officers and the nature and status thereof including the steps being taken by the Servicer to remedy such default.
(b) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and its receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable, from information contained therein, including the Servicer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).
72
| Section 3.20 Annual Independent Certified Public Accountants’ Reports. |
(a) Not later than March 15 of each year, commencing in 2006, the Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants to furnish to the Trustee and the Depositor a report stating that (i) it has obtained a letter of representation regarding certain matters from the management of the Servicer which includes an assertion that the Servicer has complied with certain minimum residential mortgage loan servicing standards, identified in either the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers established by the Mortgage Bankers Association of America or the Audit Program for Mortgages serviced by Xxxxxxx Mac, with respect to the servicing of residential mortgage loans during the most recently completed fiscal year and (ii) on the basis of an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, such representation is fairly stated in all material respects, subject to such exceptions and other qualifications that may be appropriate. Immediately upon receipt of such report, the Servicer shall furnish a copy of such report to the Trustee, the Depositor and each Rating Agency. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder upon request at the Servicer’s expense, provided that such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee.
(b) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and their receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable, from information contained therein, including the Servicer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).
| Section 3.21 Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Mortgage Loans. |
The Servicer shall provide to the Trustee, Certificateholders that are federally insured savings and loan associations, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of each of the foregoing (which, in the case of supervisory agents and examiners, may be required by applicable state and federal regulations) access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans, such access being afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it.
| Section 3.22 Reserved. |
| Section 3.23 Obligations of the Servicer in Respect of Compensating Interest. |
Not later than the close of business on each Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account an amount (“Compensating Interest”) equal to the lesser of (A) the aggregate of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls on the Mortgage Loans for the related Distribution Date resulting from Principal Prepayments on the Mortgage Loans during the related Prepayment Period and (B) 50% of its aggregate Servicing Fee received in the related Collection Period. The Servicer shall apply Compensating Interest to offset any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls on the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall not have the right to reimbursement for any amounts remitted to the Trustee in respect of Compensating Interest. Such amounts so remitted shall be included in the Available Funds and distributed therewith on the next Distribution Date. The Servicer shall not be obligated to pay Compensating Interest with respect to Prepayment Interest Shortfalls on Relief Act Interest Shortfalls.
73
| Section 3.24 Obligations of the Servicer in Respect of Mortgage Interest Rates and Monthly Payments. |
In the event that a shortfall in any collection on or liability with respect to any Mortgage Loan results from or is attributable to adjustments to Mortgage Interest Rates, Monthly Payments or Principal Balances that were made by the Servicer in a manner not consistent with the terms of the related Mortgage Note and this Agreement, the Servicer, upon discovery or receipt of notice thereof, immediately shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account from its own funds the amount of any such shortfall and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor and any successor servicer in respect of any such liability. Such indemnities shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement.
| Section 3.25 Investment of Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account. |
(a) The Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection Account to invest the funds in the Collection Account in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) 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, if a Person other than the Trustee is the obligor thereon, and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Trustee is the obligor thereon. In the absence of such direction, funds in the Collection Account shall remain uninvested. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in the Collection Account shall be made in the name of the Trustee or the Servicer, as applicable (in its capacity as such) or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee. The Trustee shall be entitled to sole possession (except with respect to investment direction of funds held in the Collection Account) over each such investment and the income thereon, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Trustee or its agent, together with any document of transfer necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Trustee or its nominee. In the event amounts on deposit in the Collection Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Trustee shall at the direction of the Servicer:
| (x) | consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and |
| (y) | demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the Collection Account. |
(b) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds in the Collection Account shall be for the benefit of the Servicer. The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such account immediately upon realization of such loss. Funds on deposit in the Distribution Account will remain uninvested.
(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 Trustee may and, subject to
Section 8.01 and Section 8.02(a) (v), upon the request of the Holders of
Certificates representing more than 50% of the Voting Rights allocated
to any Class of Certificates, shall take such action as may be appropriate
to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution
of appropriate proceedings.
74
The Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in any Account held by the Trustee resulting from any investment loss on any Permitted Investment included therein (except to the extent that the Trustee is the obligor and has defaulted thereon).
| Section 3.26 Liability of Servicer; Indemnification. |
(a) Subject to clause (b) below and Section 6.03, the Servicer (or its successor hereunder (except the Trustee if it is required to succeed the Servicer hereunder) ) indemnifies and holds the Trustee, the Seller, the Depositor and each Certificateholder harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Trustee, the Depositor and any Certificateholder may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Servicer to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the Servicing Standards. The Servicer shall immediately notify the Trustee, the Depositor and each Certificateholder if a claim is made that may result in such claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees or related costs, judgments, or any other costs, fees and expenses, and the Servicer shall assume (with the consent of the Trustee) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against the Servicer, Trustee, the Depositor and/or Certificateholder in respect of such claim. The provisions of this Section 3.26 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the termination or resignation of the Servicer or the Trustee and the payment of the outstanding Certificates.
(b) None of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, or any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund 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 Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer or any such Person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or against any specific liability imposed on the Servicer for a breach of the Servicing Standard, or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of its respective willful misfeasance, bad faith, fraud or negligence in the performance of its duties or by reasons of negligent disregard of its respective obligations or duties hereunder.
The Depositor, the Servicer, the Seller and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer, may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any appropriate Person with respect to any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Servicer, the Seller, and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action incurred by reason of its respective misfeasance, bad faith, fraud or negligence, a breach of a representation or warranty hereunder or (in the case of the Servicer) a breach of the Servicing Standard in the performance of its respective duties or by reason of negligent disregard of its respective obligations or duties hereunder. Neither the Depositor, the Seller nor the Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action is related to its respective duties under this Agreement and in its opinion does not expose it to any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer may in its discretion undertake any action related to its obligations hereunder which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder.
75
| Section 3.27 Reports of Foreclosure and Abandonment of Mortgaged Properties. |
On or before the last day of February of each year beginning in 2006, the Servicer shall file the reports of foreclosure and abandonment of any Mortgaged Property required by Section 6050J of the Code with the Internal Revenue Service and provide an Officer’s Certificate certifying its compliance with this Section 3.27 to the Trustee. The reports from the Servicer shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by such Section 6050J.
| Section 3.28 Protection of Assets. |
(a) Except for transactions and activities entered into in connection with the securitization that is the subject of this Agreement, the Trust is not authorized and has no power to:
| (1) | borrow money or issue debt; |
| (2) | merge with another entity, reorganize, liquidate or sell assets; or |
| (3) | engage in any business or activities. |
(b) Each party to this Agreement agrees that it will not file an involuntary bankruptcy petition against the Trustee or the Trust Fund or initiate any other form of insolvency proceeding until after the Certificates have been paid.
| Section 3.29 Periodic Filings. |
(a) The Trustee and the Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor in connection with the Trust’s satisfying the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee shall prepare on behalf of the Trust any monthly Current Reports on Form 8-K (each, a “Monthly Form 8-K”) and Annual Reports on Form 10-K customary for similar securities as required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, and the Trustee shall sign (other than any Annual Reports on Form 10-K) and file (via the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System) such forms on behalf of the Trust. The Servicer shall sign any Annual Reports on Form 10-K.
(b) Each Monthly Form 8-K shall be filed by the Trustee within 15 days after each Distribution Date (commencing on the Distribution Date occurring in October 2005 and ending with the Distribution Date following the filing of the Form 15 Suspension Notification as set forth in Section 3.29(h) hereof), including a copy of the statement set forth in Section 4.06(a) hereof for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to March 30th of each year (or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission), the Trustee shall file a Form 10-K, in substance as required by applicable law or applicable Securities and Exchange Commission staff’s interpretations. Such Form 10-K shall include as exhibits the Servicer’s annual statement of compliance described under Section 3.19 and the accountant’s report described under Section 3.20, in each case to the extent they have been timely delivered to the Trustee. If they are not so timely delivered, the Trustee shall file an amended Form 10-K at the expense of the Seller including such documents as exhibits reasonably promptly after they are delivered to the Trustee. The Form 10-K shall also include a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N (the “Certification”), which shall be signed by the senior officer of the Servicer in charge of servicing.
76
(c) The Trustee shall sign a certification (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit O) for the benefit of the Servicer and its officers, directors and Affiliates (provided, however, that the Trustee shall not undertake an analysis of the accountant’s report attached as an exhibit to the Form 10-K). No later than the 20th day prior to the latest date on which the Form 10-K is permitted to be filed, without regard to extension (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day), the Trustee shall deliver to the Servicer (i) such certification and (ii) a completed Form 10-K to be executed by the Servicer. No later than the 10th day prior to the latest date on which the Form 10-K is permitted to be filed, without regard to extension (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day), the Servicer shall deliver the signed Form 10-K and the signed Certification to be filed to the Trustee. In addition, the Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Servicer and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of the Trustee’s failure to deliver the certification (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit O) pursuant to this Section 3.29(c) or any inaccuracy in such certification, other than any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of the Servicer’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Servicer and its officers, directors and Affiliates, then the Trustee shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Servicer, its officers, directors or Affiliates as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Servicer, its officers, directors or Affiliates in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Servicer and its officers, directors and Affiliates on the one hand and the Trustee on the other.
(d) The Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of the Servicer’s failure to sign and deliver either the Certification or the Form 10-K within the time frame provided in Section 3.29(c), other than any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of the Trustee’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Trustee and its officers, directors and Affiliates, then the Servicer shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Trustee, its officers, directors or Affiliates as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Trustee, its officers, directors or Affiliates in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Trustee and its officers, directors and Affiliates on the one hand and the Servicer on the other.
(e) If the Securities and Exchange Commission issues additional interpretative guidance or promulgates additional rules or regulations, or if other changes in applicable law occur, that would require the reporting arrangements, or the allocation of responsibilities with respect thereto, described in this Section 3.29, to be conducted differently than as described, the Depositor, Servicer and Trustee will reasonably cooperate to amend the provisions of this Section 3.29 in order to comply with such amended reporting requirements and such amendment of this Section 3.29. Any such amendment shall be made in accordance with the first paragraph of Section 11.01 without further consent of the Certificateholders and without the requirement to deliver notice in writing to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee from the Rating Agencies that such action will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding Class of Certificates with respect to which it is a Rating Agency. Such amendment may result in the reduction of the reports filed by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Depositor, Servicer or Trustee shall be obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant to this Section 3.29 that adversely affects its obligations and immunities under this Agreement.

| Section 3.30 Advance Facility. |
(a) The Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into a financing or other facility (any such arrangement, an “Advance Facility”), the documentation for which complies with Section 3.30(e) below, under which (1) the Servicer assigns or pledges its rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for any or all Advances and/or Servicing Advances to (i) a Person, which may be a special-purpose bankruptcy-remote entity (an “SPV”), (ii) a Person, which may simultaneously assign or pledge such rights to an SPV or (iii) a lender (a “Lender”), which, in the case of any Person or SPV of the type described in either of the preceding clauses (i) or (ii), may directly or through other assignees and/or pledgees, assign or pledge such rights to a Person, which may include a trustee acting on behalf of holders of debt instruments (any such Person or any such Lender, an “Advance Financing Person”), and/or (2) an Advance Financing Person agrees to fund all the Advances and/or Servicing Advances required to be made by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. No consent of the Trustee, Certificateholders or any other party shall be required before the Servicer may enter into an Advance Facility nor shall the Trustee or the Certificateholders be a third party beneficiary of any obligation of an Advance Financing Person to the Servicer. Notwithstanding the existence of any Advance Facility under which an Advance Financing Person agrees to fund Advances and/or Servicing Advances, (A) the Servicer (i) shall remain obligated pursuant to this Agreement to make Advances and/or Servicing Advances pursuant to and as required by this Agreement and (ii) shall not be relieved of such obligations by virtue of such Advance Facility and (B) neither the Advance Financing Person nor any Servicer’s Assignee (as hereinafter defined) shall have any right to proceed against or otherwise contact any Mortgagor for the purpose of collecting any payment that may be due with respect to any related Mortgage Loan or enforcing any covenant of such Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan documents.
(b) If the Servicer enters into
an Advance Facility, the Servicer and the related Advance Financing Person
shall deliver to the Trustee at the address set forth in Section 11.05
hereof a written notice (an “Advance Facility Notice”),
stating (a) the identity of the Advance Financing Person and
(b) the identity of the Person (the “Servicer’s
Assignee”) that will, subject to Section 3.30(c) hereof,
have the right to make withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant
to Section 3.05 hereof to reimburse previously unreimbursed Advances and/or
Servicing Advances (“Advance Reimbursement Amounts”).
Advance Reimbursement Amounts (i) shall consist solely of amounts
in respect of Advances and/or Servicing Advances for which the Servicer
would be permitted to reimburse itself in accordance with Section 3.05
hereof, assuming the Servicer had made the related Advance(s) and/or
Servicing Advance(s) and (ii) shall not consist
of amounts payable to a successor Servicer in accordance with Section 3.05
hereof to the extent permitted under Section 3.30(e) below.
78
(c) Notwithstanding the existence of an Advance Facility, the Servicer, on behalf of the Advance Financing Person and the Servicer’s Assignee, shall be entitled to receive reimbursements of Advances and/or Servicing Advances in accordance with Section 3.05 hereof, which entitlement may be terminated by the Advance Financing Person pursuant to a written notice to the Trustee in the manner set forth in Section 11.05 hereof. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Servicer shall no longer be entitled to receive reimbursement for any Advance Reimbursement Amounts and the Servicer’s Assignee shall immediately have the right to receive from the Collection Account all Advance Reimbursement Amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, (i) the Servicer and/or the Servicer’s Assignee shall only be entitled to reimbursement of Advance Reimbursement Amounts hereunder from withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 of this Agreement and shall not otherwise be entitled to make withdrawals of, or receive, Advance Reimbursement Amounts that shall be deposited in the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.04(b) hereof, and (ii) none of the Trustee or the Certificateholders shall have any right to, or otherwise be entitled to, receive any Advance Reimbursement Amounts to which the Servicer or Servicer’s Assignee, as applicable, shall be entitled pursuant to Section 3.05 hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Trustee or the Certificateholders shall have any right to set off against Advance Reimbursement Amounts hereunder. An Advance Facility may be terminated by the joint written direction of the Servicer and the related Advance Financing Person. Written notice of such termination shall be delivered to the Trustee in the manner set forth in Section 11.05 hereof. None of the Depositor or the Trustee shall, as a result of the existence of any Advance Facility, have any additional duty or liability with respect to the calculation or payment of any Advance Reimbursement Amount, nor, as a result of the existence of any Advance Facility, shall the Depositor or the Trustee have any additional responsibility to track or monitor the administration of the Advance Facility or the payment of Advance Reimbursement Amounts to the Servicer’s Assignee. The Servicer shall indemnify the Depositor, the Trustee, any successor Servicer and the Trust Fund for any claim, loss, liability or damage resulting from any claim by the related Advance Financing Person, except to the extent that such claim, loss, liability or damage resulted from or arose out of negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct on the part of the Depositor, the Trustee or any successor Servicer, as the case may be, or failure by the successor Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, to remit funds as required by this Agreement or the commission of an act or omission to act by the successor Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, and the passage of any applicable cure or grace period, such that a Servicer Event of Termination under this Agreement occurs or such entity is subject to termination for cause under this Agreement. The Servicer shall maintain and provide to any successor Servicer and, upon request, the Trustee a detailed accounting on a loan-by-loan basis as to amounts advanced by, pledged or assigned to, and reimbursed to any Advance Financing Person. The successor Servicer shall be entitled to rely on any such information provided by the predecessor Servicer, and the successor Servicer shall not be liable for any errors in such information.
(d) [Reserved].
(e) As between a predecessor Servicer and its Advance Financing Person, on the one hand, and a successor Servicer and its Advance Financing Person, if any, on the other hand, Advance Reimbursement Amounts on a loan-by-loan basis with respect to each Mortgage Loan as to which an Advance and/or Servicing Advance shall have been made and be outstanding shall be allocated on a “first-in, first out” basis. In the event the Servicer’s Assignee shall have received some or all of an Advance Reimbursement Amount related to Advances and/or Servicing Advances that were made by a Person other than such predecessor Servicer or its related Advance Financing Person in error, then such Servicer’s Assignee shall be required to remit any portion of such Advance Reimbursement Amount to each Person entitled to such portion of such Advance Reimbursement Amount. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall remain entitled to be reimbursed by the Advance Financing Person for all Advances and/or Servicing Advances funded by the Servicer to the extent the related Advance Reimbursement Amounts have not been assigned or pledged to such Advance Financing Person or Servicer’s Assignee.
79
(f) For purposes of any Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer made pursuant to Section 4.07(d), any Nonrecoverable Advance referred to therein may have been made by such Servicer or any predecessor Servicer. In making its determination that any Advance or Servicing Advance theretofore made has become a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Servicer shall apply the same criteria in making such determination regardless of whether such Advance or Servicing Advance shall have been made by the Servicer or any predecessor Servicer.
(g) Any amendment to this Section 3.30 or to any other provision of this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an Advance Facility as described generally in this Section 3.30, including amendments to add provisions relating to a successor Servicer, may be entered into by the Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicer without the consent of any Certificateholder, provided such amendment complies with Section 11.01 hereof. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of each party hereto of any such amendment shall be borne solely by the Servicer. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that: (a) the Advances and/or Servicing Advances financed by and/or pledged to an Advance Financing Person under any Advance Facility are obligations owed to the Servicer payable only from the cash flows and proceeds received under this Agreement for reimbursement of Advances and/or Servicing Advances only to the extent provided herein, and the Trustee and the Trust are not, as a result of the existence of any Advance Facility, obligated or liable to repay any Advances and/or Servicing Advances financed by the Advance Financing Person; (b) the Servicer will be responsible for remitting to the Advance Financing Person the applicable amounts collected by it as reimbursement for Advances and/or Servicing Advances funded by the Advance Financing Person, subject to the provisions of this Agreement; and (c) the Trustee shall not have any responsibility to track or monitor the administration of the financing arrangement between the Servicer and any Advance Financing Person.

Any funds payable by the Trustee under the Cap Contract at closing shall be paid by the Depositor.

In addition, the Servicer shall have the right to reimburse itself for any such Advance from amounts held from time to time in the Collection Account to the extent such amounts are not then required to be distributed. Any amounts held for future distribution and so used shall be appropriately reflected in the Servicer’s records and replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on or before any future Servicer Remittance Date to the extent that the Available Funds for the related Distribution Date (determined without regard to Advances to be made on the Servicer Remittance Date) shall be less than the total amount that would be distributed to the Classes of Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.01 and 4.02 on such Distribution Date if such amounts held for future distributions had not been so used to make Advances. The Servicer may reimburse itself from any amounts in the Collection Account for any prior Advances or Servicing Advances that have not been reimbursed at the time the Mortgage Loan is modified. The Trustee will provide notice to the Servicer by telecopy by the close of business on any Servicer Remittance Date in the event that the amount remitted by the Servicer to the Trustee on such date is less than the Advances required to be made by the Servicer for the related Distribution Date, as set forth in the related Remittance Report.

contrary, no Advance or Servicing Advance shall be required to be made
hereunder by the Servicer if such Advance would, if made, constitute a
Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination by the Servicer that it has made
a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Advance, if made, would constitute
a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate
of the Servicer delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee.

All computations with respect to the REMIC 1 Regular Interests shall be taken out to ten decimal places. Any portion of Available Funds remaining in REMIC 1 on a Distribution Date after distributions to the REMIC 1 Regular Interests shall be distributed to the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class R-1 Interest.

| (b) Upon original issuance, the Book-Entry Certificates shall be issued in the form of one or more typewritten certificates, to be delivered to the Depository, the initial Depository, by, or on behalf of, the Depositor; or to, and deposited with the Certificate Custodian, on behalf of the Depository, if directed to do so pursuant to instructions from the Depository. Except as provided in paragraph (c) 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 such Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership and transfers of such Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of registration of such Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee shall for all purposes deal with the Depository as representative of the Certificate Owners of the Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of Holders under this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such representative shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; (vi) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to indirect participating firms and Persons shown on the books of such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners; and (vii) the direct participants of the Depository shall have no rights under this Agreement under or with respect to any of the Certificates held on their behalf by the Depository, and the Depository may be treated by the Trustee and their agents, employees, officers and directors as the absolute owner of the Certificates for all purposes whatsoever. |
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 Owners. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners that it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s normal procedures. The parties hereto are hereby authorized to execute a Letter of Representations with the Depository or take such other action as may be necessary or desirable to register a Book-Entry Certificate to the Depository. In the event of any conflict between the terms of any such Letter of Representation and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
| (c) If (i)(x) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as Depository and (y) the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Depositor, at its sole option elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository or (iii) after the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination, the Certificate Owners of each Class of Book-Entry Certificates representing Percentage Interests of such Classes aggregating not less than 51% advises the Trustee and Depository through the Financial Intermediaries and the Depo sitory Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository to the exclusion of definitive, fully registered certificates (the “Definitive Certificates”) to Certificate Owners is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners. Upon surrender to the Certificate Registrar of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall, at the Depositor’s expense, in the case of (ii) above, or the Seller’s expense, in the case of (i) and (iii) above, execute on behalf of the Trust and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate the Definitive Certificates. Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Servicer, any Paying Agent and the Depositor shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder. |

| (d) No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Private Certificate shall be made unless such disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with the 1933 Act and laws. In the event of any such transfer, other than the initial transfer of the Private Certificates by the Depositor, (i) unless such transfer is made in reliance upon Rule 144A (as evidenced by the investment letter delivered to the Certificate Registrar, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit J) under the 1933 Act, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor may require a written Opinion of Counsel (which may be in-house counsel) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from the 1933 Act or is being made pursuant to the 1933 Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee or the Depositor or (ii) the Certificate Registrar shall require the transferor to execute a transferor certificate (in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit L) and the transferee to execute an investment letter (in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit J) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar certifying to the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar the facts surrounding such transfer, which investment letter shall not be an expense of the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor. The Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor 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. |
By acceptance of a Regulation S Global Security, whether upon original issuance or subsequent transfer, each Holder of such a Certificate acknowledges the restrictions on the transfer of such Certificate set forth thereon and agrees that it will only transfer such a Certificate as provided herein. In addition, each Holder of a Regulation S Global Security shall be deemed to have represented and warranted to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and any of their respective successors that: (i) such Person is not a “U.S. person” within the meaning of Regulation S and was, at the time the buy order was originated, outside the United States and (ii) such Person understands that such Certificates have not been registered under the Securities Act and that (x) until the expiration of the 40-day distribution compliance period (within the meaning of Regulation S), no offer, sale, pledge or other transfer of such Certificates or any interest therein shall be made in the United States or to or for the account or benefit of a U.S. person (each as defined in Regulation S), (y) if in the future it decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer such Certificates, such Certificates may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only (A) to a person which the seller reasonably believes is a “qualified institutional buyer” (a “QIB”) as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act, that is purchasing such Certificates for its own account or for the account of a qualified institutional buyer to which notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A or (B) in an offshore transaction (as defined in Regulation S) in compliance with the provisions of Regulation S, in each case in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement; and it will notify such transferee of the transfer restrictions specified in this Section.
The beneficial ownership (as determined for federal income tax purposes) of a Class N or Class X Certificate shall not be transferred to a non-United States Person unless (i) such beneficial ownership is transferred to a non-United States Person who will at all times be a Proportionate Holder and provides the Certificate Registrar with a representation and covenant to such effect and (ii) the Certificate Registrar has received, in the manner required by applicable Treasury regulations (and with all required attachments, including, where the non-United States Person is providing a Form X-0XXX, Xxxxx X-0XXX, X-0XXX or W-9 from all persons treated as beneficially owning an interest in the Class X or Class N Certificate through such non-U.S. Person either directly, through an intermediary or through another entity that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes), a properly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, Form W-8BEN, Form W-8EXP or Form W-8ECI from such non-United States Person. No Class N or Class X Certificate may be pledged or used as collateral for any obligation if it would cause any portion of the Trust Fund to be treated as a taxable mortgage pool under Section 7701(i) of the Code.
100
No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is a Class R-X or Class R Certificate shall be registered unless the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar shall have received a representation from the transferee of such Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar (such requirement is satisfied only by the Certificate Registrar’s receipt of a representation letter from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit K hereto), to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Title I of ERISA, a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan subject to any state, local, federal, non-U.S. or other law substantively similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code (“Similar Law”) (collectively, a “Plan”), and is not directly or indirectly acquiring the Certificate for, on behalf of or with any assets of any such Plan.
No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate (other than a Class R-X or Class R Certificate) shall be registered unless the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar shall have received (i) a representation letter from the transferee of such Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto, to the effect that such transferee is not a Plan and is not directly or indirectly acquiring the Certificate for, on behalf of or with any assets of any such Plan, (ii) if the Certificate has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, a representation letter from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto, that the transferee is an insurance company that is acquiring the Certificate with assets of an “insurance company general account” as defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60 and the acquisition and holding of the Certificate are covered and exempt under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60, or (iii) solely in the case of a Definitive Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar, and upon which the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar shall be entitled to rely, to the effect that the acquisition and holding of such Certificate by the transferee will not result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or a violation of Similar Law, and will not subject the Certificate Registrar, the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee to any obligation in addition to those undertaken by such entities in this Agreement, which opinion of counsel shall not be an expense of the Certificate Registrar, the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee. The representations in clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been made to the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee by the Certificate Owner’s acceptance of the beneficial interest in any such class of ERISA-Restricted Certificates, unless the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar shall have received from the transferee an alternative representation acceptable in form and substance to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar.
Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate to or on behalf of a Plan without the delivery to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar of a representation or an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar as described above shall be void and of no effect. None of the Certificate Registrar, the Depositor, the Servicer, Paying Agent or the Trustee shall be under any liability to any Person for any registration or transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(d) nor shall the Paying Agent be under any liability for making any payments due on such ERISA-Restricted Certificate to the holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with the foregoing requirements. The Certificate Registrar, Depositor, Servicer, Paying Agent and/or Trustee shall be entitled, but not obligated, to recover from any holder of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that was in fact a Plan and that held such ERISA-Restricted Certificate in violation of this Section 5.02(d) all payments made on such ERISA-Restricted Certificate at and after the time it commenced such holding. Any such payments so recovered shall be paid and delivered to the last preceding holder of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is not a Plan.
101
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 to have irrevocably appointed the Depositor or its designee as its attorney-in-fact to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (v) below and to execute all instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such sale, 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 Certificate Registrar of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee. |
| (ii) No Person shall acquire an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate unless such Ownership Interest is a pro rata undivided interest. |
| (iii) In connection with any proposed transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall as a condition to registration of the transfer, require delivery to it, in form and substance satisfactory to it, of each of the following: |
| (A) an affidavit in the form of Exhibit K hereto from the proposed transferee to the effect that, among other things, such transferee is a Permitted Transferee and that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate that is the subject of the proposed transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee; and |
| (B) a covenant of the proposed transferee to the effect that the proposed transferee agrees to be bound by and to abide by the transfer restrictions applicable to the Residual Certificates. |
| (iv) Any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. If any purported transferee shall, in violation of the provisions of this Section, become a Holder of a Residual Certificate, then the prior Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee shall, upon discovery that the r egistration of transfer of such Residual Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section, be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Certificate Registrar shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section or for making any distributions due on such Residual 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 Certificate Registrar received the documents specified in clause (iii). The Trustee shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time such distributions were made all distributions made on such Residual Certificate. Any such distributions so recovered by the Trustee shall be distributed and delivered by the Trustee to the prior Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee. |
| (v) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then the Certificate Registrar shall have the right but not the obligation, without notice to the Holder of such Residual Certificate or any other Person having an Ownership Interest therein, to notify the Depositor to arrange for the sale of such Residual Certificate .. The proceeds of such sale, net of commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Depositor or its affiliates in connection with such sale), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Trustee to the previous Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee, except that in the event that the Trustee determines that the Holder of such Residual Certificate may be liable for any amount due under this Section or any other provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee may withhold a corresponding amount from such remittance as security for such claim. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (v) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Trustee and it shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion. |
102
| (vi) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then the Trustee will provide to the Internal Revenue Service, and to the persons specified in Sections 860E(e)(3) and (6) of the Code, information needed to compute the tax imposed under Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code on transfers of residual interests to disqualifi ed organizations. The Trustee shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for providing such information from the person to whom it is provided. | |||
| The foregoing provisions of this Section shall cease to apply to transfers occurring on or after the date on which there shall have been delivered to the Certificate Registrar, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, (i) written notification from each Rating Agency that the removal of the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Section will not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its rating of the Certificates and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such removal will not cause any REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC. | |||
| (e) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates of any Class, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates. |
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled by the Certificate Registrar and disposed of pursuant to its standard procedures.
| Section 5.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. |
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee, the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute on behalf of the Trust, and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar) in connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section, shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
103
| Section 5.04 Persons Deemed Owners. |
The Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent of the Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent or the Trustee may treat the Person, including a Depository, in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 and 4.02 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Servicer, the Trust, the Trustee, any Paying Agent nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
| Section 5.05 Appointment of Paying Agent. |
The Paying Agent shall make distributions to Certificateholders from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 4.01 and 4.02 and shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Trustee. The duties of the Paying Agent may include the obligation (i) to withdraw funds from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 and for the purpose of making the distributions referred to above and (ii) to distribute statements and provide information to Certificateholders as required hereunder. The Paying Agent hereunder shall at all times be an entity duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities. The Paying Agent shall initially be the Trustee. The Trustee may appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent, which appointment shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Rating Agencies. The Trustee as Paying Agent shall be subject to the same standards of care, limitations on liability and rights to indemnity as the Trustee, and the provisions of Sections 8.01, 8.02, 8.03, 8.04, 8.05, 8.14, 8.15 and 8.16 shall apply to the Paying Agent to the same extent as they apply to the Trustee. Any Paying Agent appointed in accordance with this Section 5.05 may at any time resign by giving at least 30 days’ advance written notice of resignation to the Trustee, the Servicer and the Depositor, such resignation to become effective upon appointment of a successor Paying Agent.

Neither the Servicer nor any of the directors or officers or employees or agents of the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action by the Servicer in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such Person against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties of the Servicer or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties of the Servicer hereunder; provided, further, that this provision shall not be construed to entitle the Servicer to indemnity in the event that amounts advanced by the Servicer to retire any senior lien exceed Liquidation Proceeds (in excess of related liquidation expenses) realized with respect to the related Mortgage Loan. The Servicer and any director or officer or employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.

This paragraph shall apply to the Servicer solely in its capacity as Servicer hereunder and in no other capacities.

Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 and Section 6.02, the Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (i) upon determination that the performance of its obligations or 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 or its subsidiaries or Affiliates, the other activities of the Servicer so causing such a conflict being of a type and nature carried on by the Servicer or its subsidiaries or Affiliates at the date of this Agreement or (ii) upon satisfaction of the following conditions: (a) either (x) the Servicer has proposed a successor servicer to the Trustee in writing and such proposed successor servicer is reasonably acceptable to the Trustee or (y) the Servicing Rights Pledgee has delivered to the Trustee a letter signed by the Servicer whereunder the Servicer resigns as Servicer under this Agreement pursuant to the second paragraph of this Section 6.04 or the second paragraph of Section 7.02(a); and (b) each Rating Agency shall have delivered a letter to the Trustee prior to the appointment of the successor servicer stating that the proposed appointment of such successor servicer as Servicer hereunder will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the then current rating of the Regular Certificates; or the ratings that are in effect; provided, however, that no such resignation by the Servicer shall become effective until such successor servicer or, in the case of (i) above, the Trustee shall have assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder or the Trustee shall have designated a successor servicer in accordance with Section 7.02 or the second paragraph of this Section 6.04. Any such resignation shall not relieve the Servicer of responsibility for any of the obligations specified in Sections 7.01 and 7.02 as obligations that survive the resignation or termination of the Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to clause (i) above shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee.
105
The Trustee and the Depositor hereby specifically (i) consent to the pledge and assignment by the Servicer of all the Servicer’s right, title and interest in, to and under this Agreement to the Servicing Rights Pledgee, for the benefit of certain lenders, and (ii) provided that no Servicer Event of Termination exists, agree that upon delivery to the Trustee by the Servicing Rights Pledgee of a letter signed by the Servicer whereunder the Servicer shall resign as Servicer under this Agreement, the Trustee shall appoint the Servicing Rights Pledgee or its designee as successor Servicer, provided that at the time of such appointment, the Servicing Rights Pledgee or such designee meets the requirements of a successor Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02(a) and agrees to be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

In the ordinary course of business, the Servicer at any time may delegate any of its duties hereunder to any Person, including any of its Affiliates, who agrees to conduct such duties in accordance with standards comparable to those set forth in Section 3.01. Such delegation shall not relieve the Servicer of its liabilities and responsibilities with respect to such duties and shall not constitute a resignation within the meaning of Section 6.04.

Any such notice to the Servicer shall also be given to each Rating Agency, the Depositor and the Seller. On or after the receipt by the Servicer (and by the Trustee if such notice is given by the Holders) of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section; and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the 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 of each Mortgage Loan and Related Documents or otherwise. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee (or the applicable successor Servicer) in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the delivery to the Trustee of all documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the Servicer’s functions under this Agreement within ten Business Days subsequent to such notice, the transfer within one Business Day subsequent to such notice to the Trustee (or the applicable successor Servicer) for the administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the Servicer and to be deposited by it in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, any REO Account or any Escrow Account or that have been deposited by the Servicer in such accounts or thereafter received by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property received by the Servicer. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with transferring the servicing to the successor Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as Servicer pursuant to this Section shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer (or if the predecessor Servicer is the Trustee, the initial Servicer) upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. |
107
| Section 7.02 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. |
| (a) Within 90 days of the time the Servicer (and the Trustee, if notice is sent by the Holders) receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01 or 6.04, the Trustee (or such other successor Servicer as is approved in accordance with this Agreement) shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof arising on and after its succession. As compensation therefor, the Trustee (or such other successor Servicer) shall be entitled to such compensation as the Servicer would have been entitled to hereunder if no such notice of termination had been given. Notwithstanding the above, (i) if the Trustee is unwilling to act as successor Servicer or (ii) if the Trustee is legally unable so to act, the Trustee shall appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance institution, bank or other mortgage loan or home equity loan servicer having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 as the successor to the Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder; provided, that the appointment of any such successor Servicer will not result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the ratings assigned to the Certificates or the ratings that are in effect by the Rating Agencies as evidenced by a letter to such effect from the Rating Agencies. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the successor shall be entitled to receive compensation out of payments on Mortgage Loans in an amount equal to the compensation which the Servicer would otherwise have received pursuant to Section 3.18 (or such other compensation as the Trustee and such successor shall agree, not to exceed the Servicing Fee). The successor servicer shall be entitled to withdraw from the Collection Account all costs and expenses associated with the transfer of the servicing to the successor servicer. The appointment of a successor servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Servicer which may have arisen under this Agreement prior to its termination as Servicer to pay any deductible under an insurance policy pursuant to Section 3.12 or to indemnify the parties indicated in Section 3.26 pursuant to the terms thereof, nor shall any successor Servicer be liable for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Servicer or for any breach by such Servicer of any of its representations or warranties contained herein or in any related document or agreement. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. |
In the event of a Servicer Event of Termination, notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, the Trustee and the Depositor hereby agree that upon delivery to the Trustee by the Servicing Rights Pledgee of a letter signed by the Servicer within ten Business Days of when notification of such event shall have been provided to the Trustee, whereunder the Servicer shall resign as Servicer under this Agreement, the Servicing Rights Pledgee or its designee shall be appointed as successor Servicer (provided that at the time of such appointment the Servicing Rights Pledgee or such designee meets the requirements of a successor Servicer set forth above) and the Servicing Rights Pledgee agrees to be subject to the terms of this Agreement.
108
| (b) Any successor, including the Trustee, to the Servicer as servicer shall during the term of its service as servicer continue to service and administer the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of Certificateholders, and maintain in force a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as Servicer hereunder and a Fidelity Bond in respect of its officers, employees and agents to the same extent as the Servicer is so required pursuant to Section 3.12. |
| Section 7.03 Waiver of Defaults. |
The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66 2/3% of the Voting Rights allocated to the Class of Certificates affected by a Servicer Event of Termination may, on behalf of all Certificateholders, waive any events permitting removal of the Servicer as servicer pursuant to this Article VII, provided, however, that such Holders may not waive a default in making a required distribution on a Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate. Upon any waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist and any Servicer Event of Termination 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 thereto except to the extent expressly so waived. Notice of any such waiver shall be given by the Trustee to the Rating Agencies.
| Section 7.04 Notification to Certificateholders. |
| (a) On any termination or appointment of a successor the Servicer pursuant to this Article VII or Section 6.04, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and each Rating Agency. |
| (b) No later than 60 days after the occurrence of any event which constitutes or which, with notice or a lapse of time or both, would constitute a Servicer Event of Termination for five Business Days after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee becomes aware of the occurrence of such an event, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders notice of such occurrence unless such default or Servicer Event of Termination shall have been waived or cured. Such notice shall be given to the Rating Agencies promptly after any such occurrence. |
| Section 7.05 Survivability of Servicer Liabilities. |
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon termination of the Servicer hereunder, any liabilities of the Servicer which accrued prior to such termination shall survive such termination.
|
ARTICLE VIII THE TRUSTEE |
| Section 8.01 Duties of Trustee. |
The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge and after the curing of all Servicer Events of Termination which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. If a Servicer Event of Termination has occurred (which has not been cured) of which a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.
109
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform on their face to the requirements of this Agreement to the extent specified herein; provided, however, that that the Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Servicer, the Seller or the Depositor hereunder. If any such instrument is found not to conform in any material respect to the requirements of this Agreement, the Trustee shall notify the Certificateholders of such instrument in the event that the Trustee, after so requesting, does not receive a satisfactorily corrected instrument.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own misconduct; provided, however, that:
| (i) prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination, and after the curing of all such Servicer Events of Termination which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming on their face to the requirements of this Agreement to the extent specified herein; |
| (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining or investigating the facts related thereto; |
| (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Majority Certificateholders relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising or omitting to exercise any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Agreement; and |
| (iv) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any failure by the Servicer to comply with the obligations of the Servicer referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 7.01(a) or any Servicer Event of Termination unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the applicable Corporate Trust Office obtains actual knowledge of such failure or the Trustee receives written notice of such failure from the Servicer or the Majority Certificateholders. In the absence of such receipt of such notice, the Trustee may conclusively assume that there is no Servicer Event of Termination. |
The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement, except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, the Trustee shall not seek reimbursement or repayment of any of its expenses from the Trust Fund except in connection with expenses that would constitute “unanticipated expenses” under Treasury Regulation 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii).
110
The Trustee shall not have any duty (A) to see any recording, filing, or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (B) to see to any insurance or (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Trust Fund other than from funds available in the Distribution Account.
The Trustee shall have no duty hereunder with respect to any complaint, claim, demand, notice or other document it may receive or which may be alleged to have been delivered to or served upon it by the parties as a consequence of the assignment of any Mortgage Loan hereunder; provided, however, that the Trustee shall promptly remit to the Servicer upon receipt any such complaint, claim, demand, notice or other document (i) which is delivered to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office; (ii) of which a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge and (iii) which contains information sufficient to permit the Trustee to make a determination that the real property to which such document relates to is a Mortgaged Property.
| Section 8.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee. |
| (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01: |
| (i) the Trustee may request and rely upon, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, any resolution, Officer’s Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; |
| (ii) the Trustee may consult with counsel and any advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel; |
| (iii) the Trustee shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto, at the request, order or direction of the Certificateholders pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; the right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be co nstrued as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of any such act; |
| (iv) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement; |
| (v) prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination and after the curing of all Servicer Events of Termination which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or documents, unless requested in writing to do so by the Majority Certificateholder; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to such proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Servicer or, if paid by the Trustee shall be reimbursed by the Servicer upon demand. Nothing in this clause (v) shall derogate from the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors; |
111
| (vi) the Trustee shall not be accountable, shall have any liability or make any representation as to any acts or omissions hereunder of the Servicer until such time as the Trustee may be required to act as Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02; |
| (vii) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys or a custodian and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent, attorney or custodian appointed by it with due care; and |
| (viii) the right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such act. |
| Section 8.03 Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans. |
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the Seller, and the Trustee does not assume any responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates (other than the signature and authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan or Related Document. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Servicer, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Servicer. The Trustee shall not at any time have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of any Mortgage or any Mortgage Loan, or the perfection and priority of any Mortgage or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Trust or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to Certificateholders under this Agreement, including, without limitation: the existence, condition and ownership of any Mortgaged Property; the existence and enforceability of any hazard insurance thereon (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02); the validity of the assignment of any Mortgage Loan to the Trustee or of any intervening assignment; the completeness of any Mortgage Loan; the performance or enforcement of any Mortgage Loan (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02); the compliance by the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer with any warranty or representation made under this Agreement or in any related document or the accuracy of any such warranty or representation prior to the Trustee’s receipt of notice or other discovery of any non-compliance therewith or any breach thereof; any investment of monies by or at the direction of the Servicer or any loss resulting therefrom; the acts or omissions of any of the Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02), or any Mortgagor; any action of the Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02), taken in the name of the Trustee; the failure of the Servicer to act or perform any duties required of it as agent of the Trustee hereunder; or any action by the Trustee taken at the instruction of the Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve the Trustee of its obligation to perform its duties under this Agreement. The Trustee shall not have any responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder.
112
| Section 8.04 Trustee May Own Certificates. |
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it were not Trustee and may transact any banking and trust business with the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor or their Affiliates.
| Section 8.05 Seller to Pay Trustee Fees and Expenses. |
The Trustee shall withdraw from the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date and pay to itself the Trustee Fee pursuant to Section 4.01(i) and, to the extent the Interest Remittance Amount is at any time insufficient for such purpose, the Seller shall pay such fees as reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and the Seller will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from such party’s negligence or bad faith or which is the responsibility of Certificateholders, the Trustee hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, including Section 2.03(a) and Section 2.04, to the contrary, the Seller covenants and agrees to indemnify the Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses incurred in connection with (a) any legal action relating to this Agreement, the Custodial Agreement, the Certificates or incurred in connection with the administration of the Trust, other than with respect to a party, any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of such party in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of such party’s reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder and (b) the second paragraph of Section 2.01. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. The Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified, to the extent not paid by the Seller pursuant to this Section, by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense (not including expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee, in the ordinary course of the Trustee’s performance in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) incurred by the Trustee or such party arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Agreement, other than in connection with the indemnification provided pursuant to clause (a) above, any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance by the Trustee of its duties under this Agreement or by reason of the reckless disregard of the Trustee’s obligations and duties under this Agreement. This section shall survive termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of any Trustee hereunder.
| Section 8.06 Eligibility Requirements for Trustee. |
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a Department of Housing and Urban Development and Federal Housing Administration approved mortgagee, an entity duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and a minimum long-term debt rating of BBB by Fitch and S&P and a long term debt rating of at least A1 or better by Xxxxx’x, and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such entity publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.06, the combined capital and surplus of such entity shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The principal office of the Trustee (other than the initial Trustee) shall be in a state with respect to which an Opinion of Counsel has been delivered to such Trustee at the time such Trustee is appointed Trustee to the effect that the Trust will not be a taxable entity under the laws of such state. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.
113
| Section 8.07 Resignation or Removal of Trustee. |
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Servicer and each Rating Agency. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee, by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor Trustee. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed and having accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged a 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, then the Depositor may remove the Trustee. If the Depositor or the Servicer removes the Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Trustee.
The Majority Certificateholders may at any time remove the Trustee by written instrument or instruments delivered to the Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee; the Depositor shall thereupon use its best efforts to appoint a successor Trustee in accordance with this Section.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as provided in Section 8.08.
| Section 8.08 Successor Trustee. |
Any successor Trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the Rating Agencies, the Servicer 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 like effect as if originally named as Trustee. The Depositor, the Servicer and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
114
No successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 and the appointment of such successor Trustee shall not result in a downgrading of the Regular Certificates by either Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in this Section 8.08, the successor Trustee shall mail notice of the appointment of a successor Trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register and to each Rating Agency.
| Section 8.09 Merger or Consolidation of Trustee. |
Any entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such entity shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 and 8.08, 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 8.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. |
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust or any Mortgaged Property may at the time be located, the Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. Any such co-trustee or separate trustee shall be subject to the written approval of the Servicer. If the Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in the case a Servicer Event of Termination shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Trustee under Section 8.06, and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 8.08. The Servicer shall be responsible for the fees of any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed hereunder.
Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
| (i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee 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 Servi cer 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 Trust 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; |
115
| (ii) no trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and |
| (iii) the Servicer and the Trustee, acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee except that following the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination, the Trustee acting alone may accept the resignation or remove any 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 then separate trustees and co-trustees, 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 Depositor, the Rating Agencies and the Servicer.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor Trustee.
| Section 8.11 Limitation of Liability. |
The Certificates are executed by the Trustee, not in its individual capacity but solely as Trustee of the Trust, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it by this Agreement. Each of the undertakings and agreements made on the part of the Trustee in the Certificates is made and intended not as a personal undertaking or agreement by the Trustee but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Trust.
| Section 8.12 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Certificates. |
| (a) All rights of action and claims under this Agreement or the Certificates may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Certificates or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name or in its capacity as Trustee for the benefit of all Holders of such Certificates, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursement and advances of the Trustee, it s agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Certificateholders in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. |
| (b) The Trustee shall afford the Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer and each Certificateholder upon reasonable notice during normal business hours, access to all records maintained by the Trustee in respect of its duties hereunder and access to officers of the Trustee responsible for performing such duties. The Trustee shall cooperate fully with the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor and such Certificateholder and shall make available to the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor and such Certificateholder for review and copying at the expense of the party requesting such copies, such books, documents or records as may be requested with respect to the Trustee’s duties hereunder. The Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Certificateholders shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Trustee and are not obligated to supervise the performance of the Trustee under this Agreement or otherwise. |
116
| Section 8.13 Suits for Enforcement. |
In case a Servicer Event of Termination or other default by the Servicer or the Seller hereunder shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee may proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Certificateholders under this Agreement by a suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law or otherwise, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or in aid of the execution of any power granted in this Agreement or for the enforcement of any other legal, equitable or other remedy, as the Trustee, being advised by counsel, and subject to the foregoing, shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of the rights of the Trustee and the Certificateholders.
| Section 8.14 Waiver of Bond Requirement. |
The Trustee shall be relieved of, and each Certificateholder hereby waives, any requirement of any jurisdiction in which the Trust, or any part thereof, may be located that the Trustee post a bond or other surety with any court, agency or body whatsoever.
| Section 8.15 Waiver of Inventory, Accounting and Appraisal Requirement. |
The Trustee shall be relieved of, and each Certificateholder hereby waives, any requirement of any jurisdiction in which the Trust, or any part thereof, may be located that the Trustee file any inventory, accounting or appraisal of the Trust with any court, agency or body at any time or in any manner whatsoever.
| Section 8.16 Compliance with National Housing Act of 1934. |

The regular interests and residual interest in each REMIC shall be as designated in the Preliminary Statement. |
| (b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “Startup Day” of each REMIC within the meaning of section 860G(a)(9) of the Code. |
| (c) The Servicer shall pay any and all tax related expenses (not including taxes) of each REMIC, including but not limited to any professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to such REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities, but only to the extent that (i) such expenses are ordinary or routine expenses, including expenses of a routine audit but not expenses of litigation (except as described in (ii)); or (ii) such expenses or liabilities (including taxes and p enalties) are attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of the Servicer in fulfilling its duties hereunder. The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of expenses to the extent provided in clause (i) above from the Collection Account, but only to the extent that such expenses are “unanticipated expenses” under Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii). |
117
| (d) The Trustee shall prepare or cause to be prepared, sign and file or cause to be filed, each REMIC’s federal and state tax and information returns as such REMIC’s direct representative. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Trustee. |
| (e) The Holder of the Residual Certificates with respect to each REMIC holding the largest Percentage Interest shall be the “tax matters person” as defined in the REMIC Provisions (the “Tax Matters Person”) with respect to the applicable REMIC or REMICs, and the Trustee is irrevocably designated as and shall act as attorney-in-fact and agent for such Tax Matters Person for each REMIC. The Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall perform, on behalf of each REMIC, all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority. Among its other duties, if required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other such guidance, the Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall provide (i) to the Treasury or other governmental authority such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to any disqualified person or organization and (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or REMIC Provisions. |
| (f) The Trustee, the Servicer, and the Holders of Certificates shall take any action or cause any REMIC to take any action necessary to create or maintain the status of such REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to create or maintain such status. Neither the Trustee, the Servicer, nor the Holder of any Residual Certificate shall take any action or cause any REMIC to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the cas e may be, could (i) endanger the status of such REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon such REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) and the tax on prohibited contributions set forth on Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless such action or failure to take such action is expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement or the Trustee and the Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC or the assets therein, or causing such REMIC to take any action, which is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, any Holder of a Residual Certificate will consult with the Trustee and the Servicer, or their respective designees, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to such REMIC, and no such Person shall take any such action or cause such REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee or the Servicer has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur. |
| (g) Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due its pro rata share of any and all taxes imposed on any REMIC by federal or state governmental authorities. To the extent that such REMIC taxes are not paid by Residual Certificateholders, the Trustee shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Residual Certificate in each REMIC or, if no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in the Collection Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to Hol ders of the REMIC Regular Interests or the Certificates, as the case may be. |
118
| (h) The Trustee, shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain or cause to be maintained books and records with respect to each REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual basis. |
| (i) No additional contributions of assets shall be made to any REMIC, except as expressly provided in this Agreement with respect to Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans. |
| (j) Neither the Trustee nor the Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which any REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services. |
| (k) On or before April 15 of each calendar year beginning in 2006, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and each Rating Agency an Officer’s Certificate stating the Servicer’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.01. |
| (l) The Trustee shall treat the rights of the Cap Carryover Certificates to receive Excess Net WAC Amounts (i) from sources other than the Reserve Account as a right in interest rate cap contracts written by the Holder of the Class X/N Interest, and (ii) from the Reserve Account as a right in interest rate cap contracts written by the Cap Contract Counterparty, in favor of the Holders of the Cap Carryover Certificates, and the Trustee shall account for such as property held separate and apart from the regular interests it holds in each of the REMICs cr eated hereunder. This provision is intended to satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(i) for the treatment of property rights coupled with regular interests to be separately respected and shall be interpreted consistent with such regulation. On each Distribution Date, to the extent the Cap Carryover Certificates receive payments in respect of Excess Net WAC Amounts from sources other than the Reserve Account, such interest will be treated as distributed on the REMIC 2 X/N Interest, then on the REMIC X/N X/N Interest and then paid to the respective Class of Cap Carryover Certificates pursuant to the related interest rate cap agreement. |
| (m) [RESERVED] |
| (n) In the event that the beneficial ownership of the Class N Certificates and the Class X Certificates is held by a single Person for federal income tax purposes or by multiple Persons who beneficially own the Class N and Class X Certificates proportionately, such Person or Persons shall be treated as the direct or indirect beneficial owner of the Class X/N Interest and the REMIC X/N Regular Interest represented thereby. In the event the Trustee receives written notice that beneficial ownership of the Class N and the Class X Certificates is held by t wo or more Persons for tax purposes that do not beneficially own the Class N and Class X Certificates proportionately, the Trustee shall treat the Class N Certificateholders and the Class X Certificateholders as partners in a partnership that owns the Class X/N Interest and the REMIC X/N Regular Interest represented thereby for federal income tax purposes and shall not treat the Class N and Class X Certificates as a direct interest in any REMIC created hereunder. By acquiring the Class N Certificates and the Class X Certificates, the respective Holders will agree to treat the Class N Certificates and the Class X Certificates in the manner described in the preceding sentences for federal income tax purposes in the event that the beneficial ownership of the Class N Certificates and the Class X Certificates is separated. In such event, (i) a separate capital account shall be established and maintained for each Holder of a Class N or Class X Certificate in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), which shall be credited with income or gain and debited by any expenses (including any payments deemed made to the Holders of any of the Cap Carryover Certificates on interest rate cap agreements for federal income tax purposes) or losses and distributions allocable to such Certificates, (ii) the Class N Certificates shall be allocated income in an amount equal to interest at the Pass-Through Rate thereon and any original issue discount that would be reportable thereon if the Class N Certificate were a debt instrument issued on the date ownership of the Class N and Class X Certificates is separated, with a principal balance equal to its Notional Amount, (iii) the Class X and Class N Certificates shall be allocated income with respect to all prepayment penalties (including amounts in connection with the full or partial waiver of such prepayment penalties or premiums pursuant to Section 3.01) in accordance with the allocation of such amounts pursuant to Section 4.02(c), to the extent not allocated pursuant to Section 9.01(n)(ii) above, (iv) the Class X and Class N Certificates shall be allocated accruals (under any reasonable method) of any “cap premiums” deemed received on the date ownership of the Class X and Class N Certificates is separated in respect of the obligation of the Class X/N Interest to pay Excess Net WAC Amounts, and shall be allocated expense in respect of such Excess Net WAC Amounts based on which one of such Classes economically bears such expense, (v) the Class X Certificates shall be allocated all remaining income and any expenses and Realized Losses with respect to the Class X/N Interest, until the capital account of the Class X Certificates is reduced to zero, and any remaining expenses or losses shall be allocated to the Class N Certificates, (vi) neither the Class N Certificates nor the Class X Certificates shall be responsible for restoring any deficit to its capital account, (vii) upon termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to Article X, all amounts available for distribution to Holders of the Class N and Class X Certificates shall be distributed in accordance with their positive capital account balances, first to the Class N Certificates until their Notional Amount and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon are reduced to zero, and then to the Class X Certificates, and (viii) the Trustee shall maintain books and records with respect to the partnership on a calendar year basis (unless a different taxable year shall be required by the Code) and shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and cause the Holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Class X Certificates to sign and file or cause to be filed all federal and state tax and information returns for the partnership, and shall furnish or cause to be furnished Schedule K-1 to the Holders of the Class N and Class X Certificates at the time required by the Code. Unless otherwise directed by a majority of the Percentage Interests of the Class X and Class N Certificates, the Trustee shall not make an election under Section 754 of the Code. The Holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Class X Certificates, by acceptance of its Class X Certificate, agrees to act as “tax matters partner” (within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code) and to sign and timely file all federal and state partnership tax and information returns prepared by the Trustee pursuant to this Section 9.01(n). |
119
| Section 9.02 Prohibited Transactions and Activities. |
Neither the Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer nor the Trustee shall sell, dispose of, or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans, except in a disposition pursuant to (i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Trust Fund, (iii) the termination of any REMIC pursuant to Article X of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant to Article II of this Agreement or (v) a repurchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II of this Agreement, nor acquire any assets for any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund, nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Distribution Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund after the Closing Date, unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party causing such sale, disposition, or substitution) that such disposition, acquisition, substitution, or acceptance will not (a) affect adversely the status of such REMIC as a REMIC or of the interests therein other than the Residual Certificates as the regular interests therein, (b) affect the distribution of interest or principal on the Certificates, (c) result in the encumbrance of the assets transferred or assigned to the Trust Fund (except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement) or (d) cause such REMIC to be subject to a tax on prohibited transactions or prohibited contributions pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.
120
| Section 9.03 Indemnification with Respect to Certain Taxes and Loss of REMIC Status. |
In the event that any REMIC formed hereunder fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a result of a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC Provisions due to the negligent performance by the Servicer of its duties and obligations set forth herein, the Servicer shall indemnify the Holder of the related Residual Certificate against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (“Losses”) resulting from such negligence; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Holder of such Residual Certificate, as applicable, nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of such Residual Certificate on which the Servicer has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of the Holder of such Residual Certificate now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Servicer have any liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and in compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than arising out of a negligent performance by the Servicer of its duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the Certificates).
| Section 9.04 REO Property. |
| (a) Subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trust hereunder, shall not rent, lease, or otherwise earn income on behalf of any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund with respect to any REO Property which might cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure” property within the meaning of section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by any REMIC constituting part of th e Trust Fund of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of section 860F(a)(2) of the Code or any “net income from foreclosure property” which is subject to tax under the REMIC Provisions unless the Servicer has advised the Trustee in writing to the effect that, under the REMIC Provisions, such action would not adversely affect the status of any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund as a REMIC and any income generated for such REMIC by the REO Property would not result in the imposition of a tax upon such REMIC. |
| (b) The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to sell any REO Property for its fair market value. In any event, however, the Servicer shall dispose of any REO Property before the close of the third calendar year beginning after the year of its acquisition by the Trust Fund unless the Servicer has received a grant of extension from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that, under the REMIC Provisions and any relevant proposed legislation and under applicable state law, any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund may hold REO Property for a lon ger period without adversely affecting its REMIC status or causing the imposition of a Federal or state tax upon any REMIC. If the Servicer has received such an extension, then the Servicer shall continue to attempt to sell the REO Property for its fair market value as determined in good faith by the Servicer for such longer period as such extension permits (the “Extended Period”). If the Servicer has not received such an extension and the Servicer is unable to sell the REO Property within 33 months after its acquisition by the Trust Fund or if the Servicer has received such an extension, and the Servicer is unable to sell the REO Property within the period ending three months before the close of the Extended Period, the Servicer shall, before the end of the applicable period, (i) purchase such REO Property at a price equal to the REO Property’s fair market value as determined in good faith by the Servicer or (ii) auction the REO Property to the highest bidder (which may be the Servicer) in an auction reasonably designed to produce a fair price prior to the expiration of the applicable period. |
121
| Section 9.05 Grantor Trust Administration. |
The parties intend that the portions of the Trust Fund consisting of the REMIC X/N X/N Interest and the obligation to pay Excess Net WAC Amounts (other than such amounts funded by the Reserve Account), shall be treated as a “grantor trust” under the Code, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention, the Trustee shall furnish or cause to be furnished (i) to the Holders of the Cap Carryover Certificates and (ii) to the Holder of the Class X and Class N Certificates (if there is a single beneficial owner thereof) or to itself on behalf of the partnership comprised of the Holders of the Class X and Class N Certificates (if there are two or more beneficial owners thereof), and shall file or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service together with Form 1041 or such other form as may be applicable, indicating their allocable shares of income with respect to the property held by the Grantor Trust, at the time or times and in the manner required by the Code.

| (i) The Trustee shall designate a date within 90 days prior to the final Distribution Date as the date of adoption of plans of complete liquidation delivered to it by the Servicer of each of the remaining REMICs included in the Trust Fund and shall specify such date in the final federal income tax return of each REMIC; |

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee as provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the event that a transfer is to be made without registration or qualification (i) the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee shall each execute a representation letter in the form described by the Agreement certifying to the Certificate Registrar the facts surrounding the transfer, and (ii) unless such transfer is made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar may require an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to them that such transfer may be made without such registration or qualification, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar, in their respective capacities as such.

Any such Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the 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. Each Person who acquires this Certificate or an interest therein shall be deemed to have made the representations required by the representation letter referred to in this paragraph, unless such Person shall have provided such representation letter referred to in this paragraph to the Certificate Registrar.
B-1-1-5
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, any Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust Fund of all Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from the Trust Fund all Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being 10% or less of the Cut-off Date Aggregate Principal Balance.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

The Class B-2 Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

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 herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee as provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in Classes and denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
B-2-1-5
No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the event that a transfer is to be made without registration or qualification (i) the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee shall each execute a representation letter in the form described by the Agreement certifying to the Certificate Registrar the facts surrounding the transfer, and (ii) unless such transfer is made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar may require an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to them that such transfer may be made without such registration or qualification, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar, in their respective capacities as such. None of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar or the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any such Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the 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. Each Person who acquires this Certificate or an interest therein shall be deemed to have made the representations required by the representation letter referred to in this paragraph, unless such Person shall have provided such representation letter referred to in this paragraph to the Certificate Registrar.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, any Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust Fund of all Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from the Trust Fund all Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being 10% or less of the Cut-off Date Aggregate Principal Balance.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
