POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of November 1, 2007 (the “Agreement”),
by and among XXXXXX XXXXXXX CAPITAL I INC., a Delaware corporation, as depositor
(the “Depositor”), LASALLE BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking
association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and as custodian (a “Custodian”) and
XXXXX FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, in its separate capacities as master
servicer (the “Master Servicer”), as securities administrator (the “Securities
Administrator”) and acknowledged by XXXXXX XXXXXXX MORTGAGE CAPITAL HOLDINGS
LLC, a New York corporation, as seller (the “Seller”), for purposes of Section
2.05.
WITNESSETH
THAT
In
consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
PRELIMINARY
STATEMENT
The
Depositor is the owner of the Trust Fund that is hereby conveyed to the Trustee
in return for the Certificates. As provided herein, the Trustee, for federal
income tax purposes, shall treat the Trust Fund as consisting of a
trust (the “ES Trust”) beneath which are four real estate mortgage investment
conduits (or in the alternative, “REMIC 1A”, “REMIC 1B”, “REMIC 2” and the
“Master REMIC”) and the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee,
shall make all elections as
necessary for such treatment.
REMIC
1A
will consist of the Aggregate Group I Mortgage Loans, excluding any rights
of
the Trust Fund in respect of the Additional Collateral. REMIC 1A will
issue uncertificated REMIC regular interests (the “REMIC 1A Regular
Interests”). The REMIC 1A Regular Interests will represent the
“regular interests” in REMIC 1A, and the Class R1A Interest will represent the
single Class of “residual interest” in REMIC 1A.
REMIC
1B
will consist of the Aggregate Group II Mortgage Loans, excluding any rights
of
the Trust Fund in respect of the Additional Collateral. REMIC 1B will
issue uncertificated REMIC regular interests (the “REMIC 1B Regular Interests”
and collectively with the REMIC 1A Regular Interests, the “REMIC 1 Regular
Interests”). The REMIC 1B Regular Interests will represent the
“regular interests” in REMIC 1B, and the Class R1B Interest will represent the
single Class of “residual interest” in REMIC 1B.
The
Trustee will hold the REMIC 1 Regular Interests for the benefit of REMIC
2. REMIC 2 will consist of the REMIC 1 Interests and will be
evidenced by the REMIC 2 Interests, which will constitute the regular interests
in REMIC 2 and the Class R2 Interest, which will represent the single Class
of
“residual interest” in REMIC 2.
The
Trustee will hold the REMIC 2 Regular Interests for the benefit of the Master
REMIC. The Master REMIC will consist of the REMIC 2 Interests and
will be evidenced by the Master REMIC Interests, which will constitute the
regular interests in the Master REMIC and the Class R3 Interest, which will
represent the single Class of “residual interest” in the Master
REMIC. The “latest possible maturity date” for federal income tax
purposes of all regular and residual interests created hereunder will be the
Latest Possible Maturity Date.
The
ES
Trust shall hold all Master REMIC regular interests, and shall issue the
Certificates. Each Certificate, other than the Class A-R Certificate,
will represent ownership of one or more of the Master REMIC regular interests
held by the ES Trust. For federal income tax purposes the Trustee
shall treat the ES Trust as a Grantor Trust and shall treat each Holder of
an ES
Trust Certificate as the owner of the individual, underlying assets represented
by such ES Trust Certificate. In addition, to the fullest extent
possible, ownership of an ES Trust Certificate shall be treated as direct
ownership of the individual, underlying assets represented by such ES Trust
Certificate for federal income tax reporting purposes.
REMIC
1A
The
REMIC
1A Regular Interests will have the initial principal balance, Pass-Through
Rates

_______________
(1) Each
Class A Interest will have a principal balance initially equal to 0.9% of the
Subordinated Portion (“SP”) of its corresponding Loan Group. Each
Class B Interest will have a principal balance initially equal to 0.1% of the
SP
of its corresponding Loan Group. The initial principal balance of
each Class C Interest will equal the excess of the initial aggregate principal
balance of its corresponding Loan Group over the initial aggregate principal
balances of the Class A and Class B Interests corresponding to such Loan
Group.
(2) The
interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Interest
Accrual Period) for this REMIC Interest is a per annum rate equal to the
Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate in respect of the Mortgage Loans of the
Corresponding Loan Group.
(3) The
Class 1-P-1 Interests will not bear interest. The Class 1-P-1 will be
entitled to all Prepayment Charges collected in respect of the Aggregate Group
I
Mortgage Loans.
(4) The
Class R-1A Interest is the sole class of residual interest in REMIC
1A. It has no principal balance and pays no principal or
interest.
2
On
each
Distribution Date, interest and principal collections shall be distributed
with
respect to the REMIC 1A Interests in the following manner:
(1)
Interest is to be distributed with respect to each REMIC 1A Interest according
to the formulas described above;
(2)
If a
Cross-Over Situation does not exist with respect to any Class of Interests,
then
Principal Amounts and Realized Losses arising with respect to each Loan Group
will be allocated: first to cause the Loan Group's corresponding Class A and
Class B Interests to equal, respectively, 0.9% of the SP and 0.1% of the SP;
and
second to the Loan Group’s corresponding Class C Interest;
(3)
If a
Cross-Over Situation exists with respect to the Class A and B Interests
then:
(a)
if
the Calculation Rate in respect of such Class A and Class B Interests is less
than the Pass Through Rate in respect of the Aggregate Group I Subordinated
Certificates, Principal Relocation Payments will be made proportionately to
the
outstanding Class A Interests prior to any other distributions of principal
from
each such Loan Group; and
(b)
if
the Calculation Rate in respect of such outstanding Class A and Class B
Interests is greater than the Pass Through Rate in respect of the Aggregate
Group I Subordinated Certificates, Principal Relocation Payments will be made
proportionately to the outstanding Class B Interests prior to any other
distributions of principal from each such Loan Group.
In
case
of either (a) or (b), Principal Relocation Payments will be made so as to cause
the Calculation Rate in respect of the outstanding Class A and B Interests
to
equal the Pass Through Rate in respect of the Aggregate Group I Subordinated
Certificates. With respect to each Loan Group, if (and to the extent that)
the
sum of (a) the principal payments comprising the Principal Amount received
during the Due Period and (b) the Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans in
that
Loan Group, are insufficient to make the necessary reductions of principal
on
the Class A and B Interests, then interest will be added to the Loan Group's
other REMIC 1A Interests that are not receiving Principal Relocation Payments,
in proportion to their principal balances.
(c)
Unless required to achieve the Calculation Rate, the outstanding aggregate
Class
A and B Interests will not be reduced below 1% of the excess of (i) the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Aggregate Group I Mortgage Loans
as of
the end of any Due Period over (ii) the Certificate Balance Aggregate Group
I
Senior Certificates (excluding the Class A-R Certificates) as of the related
Distribution Date (after taking into account distributions of principal on
such
Distribution Date).
If
(and
to the extent that) the limitation in paragraph (c) prevents the distribution
of
principal to the Class A and Class B Interests of a Loan Group, and if the
Loan
Group's Class C Interest has already been reduced to zero, then the excess
principal from that Loan Group will be paid to the Class C Interests of the
other Loan Group, the aggregate Class A and Class B Interests of which are
less
than 1% of the SP. If the Mortgage Loans in the Loan Group of the
Class C Interest that receives such payment has a Weighted Average Net Mortgage
Rate below the Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate of the Mortgage Loans in
the
Loan Group making the payment, then the payment will be treated
3
by
the
REMIC 1A as a Realized Loss. Conversely, if the Mortgage Loans in the Loan
Group
of the Class C Interest that receives such payment have a Weighted Average
Net
Mortgage Rate above the Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate of the Mortgage
Loans
in the Loan Group making the payment, then the payment will be treated by the
REMIC 1A as a reimbursement for prior Realized Losses.

_______________
(1) Each
Class A Interest will have a principal balance initially equal to 0.9% of the
Subordinated Portion (“SP”) of its corresponding Loan Group. Each
Class B Interest will have a principal balance initially equal to 0.1% of the
SP
of its corresponding Loan Group. The initial principal balance of
each Class C Interest will equal the excess of the initial aggregate principal
balance of its corresponding Loan Group over the initial aggregate principal
balances of the Class A and Class B Interests corresponding to such Loan
Group.
(2) The
interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Interest
Accrual Period) for this REMIC Interest is a per annum rate equal to the
Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate in respect of the Mortgage Loans of the
Corresponding Loan Group
(3) The
Class 1-P-2 Interests will not bear interest. The Class 1-P-2 will be
entitled to all Prepayment Charges collected in respect of the Aggregate Group
II Mortgage Loans.
(4) The
Class R-1B Interest is the sole class of residual interest in REMIC
1B. It has no principal balance and pays no principal or
interest.
On
each Distribution Date, interest and
principal collections shall be distributed with respect to the REMIC 1B
Interests in the following manner:
(1)
Interest is to be distributed with respect to each REMIC 1B Interest according
to the formulas described above;
(2)
If a
Cross-Over Situation does not exist with respect to any Class of Interests,
then
Principal Amounts and Realized Losses arising with respect to each Loan Group
will be allocated: first to
4
cause
the
Loan Group's corresponding Class A and Class B Interests to equal, respectively,
0.9% of the SP and 0.1% of the SP; and second to the Loan Group’s corresponding
Class C Interest;
(3)
If a
Cross-Over Situation exists with respect to the Class A and B Interests
then:
(a)
if
the Calculation Rate in respect of such Class A and Class B Interests is less
than the Pass Through Rate in respect of the Aggregate Group I Subordinated
Certificates, Principal Relocation Payments will be made proportionately to
the
outstanding Class A Interests prior to any other distributions of principal
from
each such Loan Group; and
(b)
if
the Calculation Rate in respect of such outstanding Class A and Class B
Interests is greater than the Pass Through Rate in respect of the Aggregate
Group I Subordinated Certificates, Principal Relocation Payments will be made
proportionately to the outstanding Class B Interests prior to any other
distributions of principal from each such Loan Group.
In
case
of either (a) or (b), Principal Relocation Payments will be made so as to cause
the Calculation Rate in respect of the outstanding Class A and B Interests
to
equal the Pass Through Rate in respect of the Aggregate Group I Subordinated
Certificates. With respect to each Loan Group, if (and to the extent that)
the
sum of (a) the principal payments comprising the Principal Amount received
during the Due Period and (b) the Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans in
that
Loan Group, are insufficient to make the necessary reductions of principal
on
the Class A and B Interests, then interest will be added to the Loan Group's
other REMIC 1B Interests that are not receiving Principal Relocation Payments,
in proportion to their principal balances.
(c)
Unless required to achieve the Calculation Rate, the outstanding aggregate
Class
A and B Interests will not be reduced below 1% of the excess of (i) the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Aggregate Group I Mortgage Loans
as of
the end of any Due Period over (ii) the Certificate Balance Aggregate Group
I
Senior Certificates as of the related Distribution Date (after taking into
account distributions of principal on such Distribution Date).
If
(and
to the extent that) the limitation in paragraph (c) prevents the distribution
of
principal to the Class A and Class B Interests of a Loan Group, and if the
Loan
Group's Class C Interest has already been reduced to zero, then the excess
principal from that Loan Group will be paid to the Class C Interests of the
other Loan Group, the aggregate Class A and Class B Interests of which are
less
than 1% of the SP. If the Mortgage Loans in the Loan Group of the
Class C Interest that receives such payment has a Weighted Average Net Mortgage
Rate below the Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate of the Mortgage Loans in
the
Loan Group making the payment, then the payment will be treated by the REMIC
1B
as a Realized Loss. Conversely, if the Mortgage Loans in the Loan Group of
the
Class C Interest that receives such payment have a Weighted Average Net Mortgage
Rate above the Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate of the Mortgage Loans in
the
Loan Group making the payment, then the payment will be treated by the REMIC
1B
as a reimbursement for prior Realized Losses.

The
foregoing provisions in the Preliminary Statement are intended to cause net
interest and principal collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans to be
distributed from REMIC 1 to the Master REMIC and from the Master REMIC to each
Class of Certificates. The Preliminary Statement will be interpreted
and applied consistently with such intent.
For
any
purpose for which the Pass-Through Rate is calculated, the interest rate on
the
Mortgage Loans shall be appropriately adjusted to account for the difference
between the monthly day count convention of the Mortgage Loans and the monthly
day count convention of the regular interests issued by each of the
REMICs. For purposes of calculating the Pass-Through Rates for each
of the interests issued by each REMIC other than the Master REMIC such rates
shall be adjusted to equal a monthly day count convention based on a 30 day
month for each Due Period and a 360-day year so that the Mortgage Loans and
all
regular interests will be using the same monthly day count
convention.
The
fiscal year of each REMIC will end on December 31.

again
equal 100%). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no decrease in any Senior
Prepayment Percentage for any Loan Group in an Aggregate Loan Group will occur
unless (i) both of the Senior Step Down Conditions are satisfied with respect
to
all Mortgage Loans in a Loan Group in that Aggregate Loan Group and (ii) if

(f) of the definition of Principal Amount with respect to the related Loan
Group
for such Distribution Date plus (y) the Senior Prepayment Percentage of any
Subsequent Recoveries described in clause (g) of the definition of Principal
Amount for such Distribution Date; provided, however, that if a Bankruptcy
Loss
that is an Excess Loss is sustained on a Mortgage Loan in the related Loan
Group
that is not a Liquidated Mortgage Loan, the Senior Principal Distribution Amount
will be reduced on the related Distribution Date by the related Senior
Percentage of the principal portion of such Bankruptcy Loss; provided further,
however, on any Distribution Date after the third related Senior Termination
Date, the Senior Principal Distribution Amount for the remaining Senior
Certificate Group in each Aggregate Certificate Group will be calculated

the remaining Senior Certificate Group will be calculated pursuant to the above
formula based upon all of the Aggregate Group II Mortgage Loans, as opposed
to
the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group and, if such Distribution Date
is
after a related Senior Termination Date, shall be reduced by the amount of
the
principal distribution made pursuant to (a) if the Group 5 Senior Certificates

Upon
discovery by the Depositor, the Seller or the related Originator or receipt
of
written notice of any materially defective document in, or, following the date
of delivery to the Trustee of the Custodian’s certifications required under this
Agreement or the related Custodial Agreement, as applicable, that a document
is
missing from, a Trustee Mortgage File, or discovery by the Trustee, the
Depositor, the Seller or the related Originator of the breach by such Originator
or Seller of any representation or warranty under the related Purchase and
Servicing Agreement, as modified by the Acknowledgement, in the case of the
Originator, or under this Agreement, in the case of the Seller, in respect
of
any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects the value of that Mortgage
Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders (a “Defective
Mortgage Loan”) (each of the Depositor, the Seller and the related
Originator hereby agreeing to give written notice thereof to the Trustee and
the
other of such parties), the Trustee, or its designee, shall promptly notify
the
Depositor and the Seller or the related Originator, as applicable, in writing
of
such nonconforming or missing document or breach and request that the Seller
or
related Originator deliver such missing document or cure or cause the cure
of
such defect or breach within a period of time specified in the related Purchase
and Servicing Agreement, and if the Seller or related Originator, as applicable,
does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in all
material respects during such period, the Trustee, shall enforce the obligations
of the related Originator under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement,
as
modified by the Acknowledgement, or the Seller under this Agreement, as
applicable, and cause the related Originator or the Seller, as the case may
be,
to repurchase that Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price
on or
prior to the Determination Date following the expiration of such specified
period (subject to Section 2.05(c) below); provided, however,
that, in connection with any such breach that could not reasonably have been
cured within such specified period (unless permitted a greater period of time
to
cure under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement), subject to Section
2.05(c) below, if the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall
have commenced to cure such breach within such specified period, the related
Originator or the Seller shall be permitted to proceed thereafter diligently
and
expeditiously to cure the same within such additional time as is reasonably
necessary to cure such breach. To the extent that the amount by which
the Purchase Price (as defined in this Agreement) exceeds the repurchase price
payable by the related Originator under the related Purchase and Servicing
Agreement, including any costs and damages that are incurred by the Trust Fund
as a result of any violation of any applicable federal, state, or local
predatory or abusive lending law arising from or in connection with the
origination of any Mortgage Loan repurchased by the related Originator or the
Seller, the payment of such excess shall be borne by the Seller. The
Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the
related Distribution Account, and the Trustee, or its designee, upon receipt
of
written certification from the Securities Administrator of such deposit, shall
release or cause the related Custodian to release to the related Originator
or
the Seller, as applicable, the related Trustee Mortgage File and shall execute
and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, representation or warranties, as either party shall furnish to it
and
as shall be necessary to vest in such party any Mortgage Loan released pursuant
hereto and the Trustee, or its designee, shall have no further responsibility
with regard to such Trustee Mortgage File (it being understood that the Trustee
shall have no responsibility for determining the sufficiency of such assignment
for its intended purpose). If pursuant to the foregoing provisions
the related Originator or the Seller repurchases a Mortgage Loan that is a
MERS
Mortgage Loan, the related
69
Servicer
shall cause MERS to designate on the MERS® System the related Originator or the
Seller, as applicable, as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage
Loan.
In
lieu
of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, either party may
cause
such Mortgage Loan to be removed from the Trust Fund (in which case it shall
become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Replacement Mortgage
Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in
Section 2.05(b) below. It is understood and agreed that the
obligations of the Originators and the Seller to cure or to repurchase (or
to
substitute for) any related 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
such
party respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee on
behalf of the Certificateholders.
(b) Any
substitution of Replacement Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage Loans made
pursuant to Section 2.05(a) above must be effected prior to the last
Business Day that is within two years after the Closing Date. As to
any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the related Originator or the Seller
substitutes a Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be
effected by delivering to the related Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee,
for
such Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, any
related assignment thereof and the Acknowledgement to the Trustee, and such
other documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon,
together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that each such Replacement
Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution
Adjustment Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with such
substitution. Monthly Payments due with respect to Replacement
Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall not be included as part of
the
Trust Fund and shall be retained by the related Originator or the Seller, as
applicable. For the month of substitution, distributions to the
Certificateholders shall reflect the collections and recoveries in respect
of
such Deleted Mortgage in the Due Period preceding the month of substitution
and
the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall thereafter be
entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted
Mortgage Loan. Upon such substitution, such Replacement Mortgage Loan
shall constitute part of the Trust Fund and shall be subject in all respects
to
the terms of this Agreement and the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement,
as
modified by the related Acknowledgement, including all representations and
warranties thereof included in such Purchase and Servicing Agreement, as
modified by the Acknowledgement, in each case as of the date of
substitution.
For
any
month in which an Originator or the Seller substitutes one or more Replacement
Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the related Servicer
shall determine the excess (each, a “Substitution Adjustment Amount”),
if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage
Loans
exceeds the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Replacement Mortgage
Loans
replacing such Deleted Mortgage Loans, together with one month’s interest on
such excess amount at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate. On the date
of such substitution, the related Originator or Seller, as applicable, shall
deliver or cause to be delivered to the related Servicer for deposit in the
related Custodial Account an amount equal to the related Substitution Adjustment
Amount, if any, and the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, upon receipt of
the
related Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans and Request for Release and
certification by such Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the related
Originator or the Seller,
70
as
applicable, the related Trustee Mortgage File or Files and the Trustee or the
Custodian, as applicable, shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer
or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the related Originator or
Seller shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted
Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
In
addition, the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall obtain
at
its own expense and deliver to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator
an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution (either specifically
or
as a class of transactions) shall not cause an Adverse REMIC
Event. If such Opinion of Counsel cannot be delivered, then such
substitution may only be effected at such time as the required Opinion of
Counsel can be given.
(c) Upon
discovery by the related Originator, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the
Depositor or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a “qualified
mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party
discovering such fact shall within two Business Days give written notice thereof
to the other parties. In connection therewith, the applicable party
shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in
Section 2.05(b), substitute one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans for the
affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt
of
such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Any such
repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in
Section 2.05(a) above and/or in accordance with this Section
2.05(c). The Trustee shall re-convey to the related Originator or the
Seller, as applicable, the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in
the
same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan
repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty.

Section
2.06.
|
Grant
Clause.
|
(a) It
is
intended that the conveyance of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and
to property constituting the Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement shall
constitute, and shall be construed as, a sale of such property and not a grant
of a security interest to secure a loan. However, if such conveyance
is deemed to be in respect of a loan, it is intended that: (1) the rights
and obligations of the parties shall be established pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement; (2) the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee for the
benefit of the Holders of the Certificates a first priority security interest
in
all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in, to and under, whether now
owned or hereafter acquired, the Trust Fund and all proceeds of any and all
property constituting the Trust Fund to secure payment of the Certificates;
and
(3) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable
law. If such conveyance is deemed to be in respect of a loan and the
trust created by this Agreement terminates prior to the satisfaction of the
claims of any Person holding any Certificate, the security interest created
hereby shall continue in full force and effect and the Trustee shall be deemed
to be the collateral agent for the benefit of such Person, and all proceeds
shall be distributed as herein provided.
(b) The
Depositor shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such
reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were
deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the other
property described above, such security interest would be deemed to be a
perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will
be
maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. The
Depositor will, at its own expense, make all initial filings on or about the
Closing Date and shall forward a copy of
71
such
filing or filings to the Trustee. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Depositor shall prepare and forward for filing, or shall
cause to be forwarded for filing, at the expense of the Depositor, all filings
necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings necessary under
the relevant UCC to perfect the Trustee’s security interest in or lien on the
Mortgage Loans, including without limitation (x) continuation statements,
and (y) such other statements as may be occasioned by (1) any change
of name of an Originator, the Depositor or the Trustee, (2) any change of
location of the place of business or the chief executive office of the Seller
or
the Depositor, (3) any transfer of any interest of an Originator or the
Depositor in any Mortgage Loan or (4) any change under the relevant UCC or
other applicable laws. Neither the Originators nor the Depositor
shall organize under the law of any jurisdiction other than the State under
which each is organized as of the Closing Date (whether changing its
jurisdiction of organization or organizing under an additional jurisdiction)
without giving 30 days prior written notice of such action to its immediate
and
intermediate transferee, including the Trustee. Before effecting such
change, any Originator or the Depositor proposing to change its jurisdiction
of
organization shall prepare and file in the appropriate filing office any
financing statements or other statements necessary to continue the perfection
of
the interests of its immediate and intermediate transferees, including the
Trustee, in the Mortgage Loans. In connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, each of the Originators and the Depositor
authorizes its immediate or intermediate transferee (but not the Trustee) to
file in any filing office any initial financing statements, any amendments
to
financing statements, any continuation statements, or any other statements
or
filings described in this paragraph (b).

Section
2.07.

Depositor’s
Option to Purchase Breached Mortgage
Loans.
|
(a) Subject
to the terms specified in this Agreement, the Depositor has the option, but
is
not obligated, to purchase from the Trust Fund any Breached Mortgage Loan at
the
Repurchase Price; provided that the entity from which the Seller purchased
the
Mortgage Loan has both (a) agreed to purchase the Mortgage Loan from the
Depositor and (b) has represented to the Seller that it has the ability to
purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Depositor, as soon as is practicable
thereafter at the Repurchase Price.

Section
2.08.
|
Release
of Mortgage Documents for
Servicing.
|
(a) From
time
to time and as appropriate for the foreclosure or servicing of any of the
Mortgage Loans, the Custodian shall, upon receipt in writing, facsimile or
electronic transmission from the Master Servicer or a Servicer of a Request
for
Release to the Master Servicer or such Servicer the Mortgage Documents set
forth
in such Request for Release. All Mortgage Documents released by the
Custodian to the Master Servicer or a Servicer pursuant to this Section 2.08
shall be held by the Master Servicer or such Servicer in trust for the benefit
of the Trust pursuant to the applicable Purchase and Servicing
Agreement. Upon the repurchase of any Mortgage Loan or upon the
payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, and upon receipt by the Custodian of
(i)
the Request for Release (which Request for Release shall include a statement
to
the effect that all amounts payable to the Trust in connection with a repurchase
have been deposited in the related Custodial Account or the Collection Account
or (ii) direction of the Depositor or the Trustee, as applicable, the Custodian
shall promptly release the related Mortgage Documents in accordance with such
Request for Release or direction.

Section
3.01.
|
The
Certificates.
|
(a) The
Certificates shall be issuable in registered form only and shall be securities
governed by Article 8 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code. The
Book-Entry Certificates will be evidenced by one or more certificates,
beneficial ownership of which will be held in the dollar denominations in
Certificate Balance, or Notional Amount, as applicable, or in the Percentage
Interests, specified herein. Each Class of Certificates will be
issued in the minimum denominations and integral multiples thereof of the
initial Certificate Balance (or Notional Amount) specified in the Preliminary
Statement hereto.
(b) The
Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of
the
Trustee by an authorized officer of the Trustee or of the Securities
Administrator on the Trustee’s behalf. Each Certificate shall, on
original issue, be authenticated by the Authenticating Agent upon the order
of
the Depositor upon receipt by the Trustee (or the Custodian) of the Trustee
Mortgage Files described in Section 2.01. No Certificate shall
be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose,
unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form provided for herein, executed by an authorized officer
of the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, and such certification upon
any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All
Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication. At any
time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
the Depositor may deliver Certificates executed by or on behalf of the Trustee
to the Authenticating Agent for authentication and the Authenticating Agent
shall authenticate and deliver such Certificates as in this Agreement provided
and not otherwise.

|
Section
3.02.
|
Registration.
|
The
Securities Administrator is hereby appointed, and the Securities Administrator
hereby accepts its appointment as, initial Certificate Registrar in respect
of
the Certificates and shall maintain books for the registration and for the
transfer of Certificates (the “Certificate Register”). The Trustee
may appoint a bank or trust company to act as successor Certificate
Registrar. A registration book shall be maintained for the
Certificates collectively. The Certificate Registrar may resign or be
discharged or removed and a new successor may be appointed in accordance with
the procedures and requirements set forth in Sections 6.06 and 6.07 hereof
with respect to the resignation, discharge or removal of the Securities
Administrator and the appointment of a successor Securities
Administrator. The Certificate Registrar may appoint,
73
by
a
written instrument delivered to the Holders and the Master Servicer, any bank
or
trust company to act as co-registrar under such conditions as the Certificate
Registrar may prescribe; provided, however, that the
Certificate Registrar shall not be relieved of any of its duties or
responsibilities hereunder by reason of such appointment.
|
Section
3.03.
|
Transfer
and Exchange of Certificates.
|
(a) A
Certificate (other than Book-Entry Certificates which shall be subject to
Section 3.09 hereof) may be transferred by the Holder thereof only upon
presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate
Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by such
Holder or his duly authorized attorney in such form as shall be satisfactory
to
the Certificate Registrar. Upon the transfer of any Certificate in
accordance with the preceding sentence, the Securities Administrator on behalf
of the Trustee shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate
and deliver to the transferee, one or more new Certificates of the same Class
and evidencing, in the aggregate, the same aggregate Certificate Balance (or
Notional Amount) as the Certificate being transferred. No service
charge shall be made to a Certificateholder for any registration of transfer
of
Certificates, 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 registration of transfer of Certificates.
(b) A
Certificate may be exchanged by the Holder thereof for any number of new
Certificates of the same Class, in authorized denominations, representing in
the
aggregate the same Certificate Balance (or Notional Amount) as the Certificate
surrendered, upon surrender of the Certificate to be exchanged at the office
of
the Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument
of transfer duly executed by such Holder or his duly authorized attorney in
such
form as is satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar. Certificates
delivered upon any such exchange will evidence the same obligations, and will
be
entitled to the same rights and privileges, as the Certificates
surrendered. No service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder
for any exchange of Certificates, 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 exchange of Certificates. Whenever any
Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Securities Administrator
on
behalf of the Trustee shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall
authenticate, date and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder
making the exchange is entitled to receive.
(c) By
acceptance of a Restricted Certificate, 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 transfer such a Certificate only as provided herein.
The
following restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer and registration
of transfer of a Restricted Certificate to a transferee that takes delivery
in
the form of a Definitive Certificate:
(i) The
Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Restricted Certificate
if
the requested transfer is (x) to the Depositor or an affiliate (as defined
in
74
Rule 405
under the 0000 Xxx) of the Depositor or (y) being made to a “qualified
institutional buyer” (a “QIB”) as defined in Rule 144A under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) by a transferor that has
provided the Certificate Registrar with a certificate in the form of
Exhibit H hereto; and
(ii) The
Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Restricted Certificate
if
the requested transfer is being made to an “accredited investor” under
Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Act, or to any Person all of the
equity owners in which are such accredited investors, by a transferor who
furnishes to the Certificate Registrar a letter of the transferee substantially
in the form of Exhibit I hereto.
(d) No
transfer of a Private Certificate or a Residual Certificate in the form of
a
Definitive Certificate shall be made to any Person or shall be effective unless
the Certificate Registrar, on behalf of the Trustee, has received (A) a
certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto (or
Exhibit B, in the case of a Residual Certificate) from such transferee or
(B) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the
Securities Administrator to the effect that the purchase and holding of such
a
Certificate will not constitute or result in any nonexempt prohibited
transactions under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a
plan subject to any Federal, state or local law (“Similar Law”)
materially similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code and will
not
subject the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the
Depositor or the Securities Administrator to any obligation in addition to
those
undertaken in the Agreement; provided, however, that the
Certificate Registrar will not require such certificate or opinion in the event
that, as a result of a change of law or otherwise, counsel satisfactory to
the
Certificate Registrar has rendered an opinion to the effect that the purchase
and holding of a Private Certificate or a Residual Certificate by a Plan or
a
Person that is purchasing or holding such a Certificate with the assets of
a
Plan will not constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under
Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the
Certificate Registrar, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the
Securities Administrator to any obligation in addition to those undertaken
in
this Agreement. Each Transferee of a Private Certificate or a
Residual Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate shall be deemed to have
made the appropriate representation set forth in paragraph 2 and the
representation set forth in paragraph 3 of Exhibit J. The
preparation and delivery of the certificate and opinions referred to above
shall
not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee,
the
Master Servicer, the Depositor or the Securities Administrator.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no opinion or certificate shall be required for the initial
issuance of the Private Certificates or Residual Certificates to the
Underwriter. The Certificate Registrar shall have no obligation to
monitor transfers of Book-Entry Certificates that are Private Certificates
or
Residual Certificates and shall have no liability for transfers of such
Certificates in violation of the transfer restrictions. The
Certificate Registrar shall be under no liability to any Person for any
registration of transfer of any Private Certificate or Residual Certificate
that
is in fact not permitted by this Section 3.03(d) and neither the Securities
Administrator nor the Paying Agent shall have any liability for making any
payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other
action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so
long as the transfer was registered by the Certificate Registrar in accordance
with the foregoing requirements. The Securities Administrator, on
behalf of the Trustee, shall be
75
entitled,
but not obligated, to recover from any Holder of any Private Certificate or
Residual Certificate that was in fact a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of
a
Plan any payments made on such Private Certificate or Residual Certificate
at
and after such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Securities
Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall be paid and delivered by the
Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, to the last preceding Holder
of such Certificate that is not such a Plan or Person acting on behalf of a
Plan.
No
transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made until the Tranferee
is
deemed to have represented either (i) that it is not an employee benefit plan
subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code,
nor a person acting on behalf of or investing plan assets of any such plan,
or
(ii) it is an insurance company which is purchasing such ERISA-Restricted
Certificates with funds contained in an “insurance company general account” (as
such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption
95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”)) and that the purchase and holding of such ERISA-Restricted
Certificates are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE
95-60. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any
purported transfer of a Certificate of this Class to or on behalf of an employee
benefit plan subject to ERISA or to the Code shall be void and of no
effect.
(e) As
a
condition of the registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate, the
Certificate Registrar may require the certified taxpayer identification number
of the owner of the Certificate and the payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any
tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith;
provided, however, that the Certificate Registrar shall have
no obligation to require such payment or to determine whether or not any such
tax or charge may be applicable. No service charge shall be made to
the Certificateholder for any registration, transfer or exchange of a
Certificate.
(f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, no Residual Certificate may be owned,
pledged or transferred, directly or indirectly, by or to (i) a Disqualified
Organization or (ii) an individual, corporation or partnership or other
person unless such person (A) is not a Non-U.S. Person or (B) is a Non-U.S.
Person that holds a Residual Certificate in connection with the conduct of
a
trade or business within the United States and has furnished the transferor
and
the Certificate Registrar with an effective Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8ECI or successor form at the time and in the manner required by the
Code (any such person who is not covered by clause (A) or (B) above is
referred to herein as a “Non-permitted Foreign Holder”).
Prior
to
and as a condition of the registration of any transfer, sale or other
disposition of a Residual Certificate, the proposed transferee shall deliver
to
the Certificate Registrar an affidavit in substantially the form attached hereto
as Exhibit B representing and warranting, among other things, that such
transferee is neither a Disqualified Organization, an agent or nominee acting
on
behalf of a Disqualified Organization, nor a Non-permitted Foreign Holder (any
such transferee, a “Permitted Transferee”), and the proposed transferor shall
deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar an affidavit in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. In
addition, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may (but shall have no
obligation to) require, prior to and as a condition of any such transfer, the
delivery by the proposed transferee of an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to
the
Trustee and the Certificate Registrar, that such proposed transferee or, if
the
proposed transferee is an agent or nominee, the proposed beneficial owner,
is
76
not
a
Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or a Non-permitted Foreign
Holder. Notwithstanding the registration in the Certificate Register
of any transfer, sale, or other disposition of a Residual Certificate to a
Disqualified Organization, an agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign
Holder, such registration shall be deemed to be of no legal force or effect
whatsoever and such Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or
Non-permitted Foreign Holder shall not be deemed to be a Certificateholder
for
any purpose hereunder, including, but not limited to, the receipt of
distributions on such Residual Certificate. The Depositor and the
Certificate Registrar shall be under no liability to any Person for any
registration or transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Disqualified
Organization, agent or nominee thereof or Non-permitted Foreign Holder or for
the Paying Agent making any payments due on such Residual Certificate to the
Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under
the provisions of the Agreement, so long as the transfer was effected in
accordance with this Section 3.03(f), unless the Certificate Registrar
shall have actual knowledge at the time of such transfer or the time of such
payment or other action that the transferee is a Disqualified Organization,
or
an agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder. The
Certificate Registrar shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of a Residual
Certificate that was a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof,
or
Non-permitted Foreign Holder at the time it became a Holder or any subsequent
time it became a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or
Non-permitted Foreign Holder, all payments made on such Residual Certificate

by this Section 3.03(f), the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be
restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of such
registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Depositor,
the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee 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 3.03(f), or for the Paying Agent making
any payment due on such Certificate to the registered Holder thereof or for
taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of
this

Replacement
of Certificates.

If
(i) any Certificate is mutilated and is surrendered to the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar or (ii) the Certificate Registrar receives evidence
to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and
there is delivered to the Trustee 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 Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar
that such destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate has been acquired by a protected
purchaser, the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee shall execute
and the Authenticating Agent 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 Certificate Balance. Upon the issuance
of any new Certificate under this Section 3.05, the Trustee, the Depositor
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,
the Depositor or the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any
replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 3.05 shall
constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the applicable
Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or
destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
If
after
the delivery of such new Certificate, a protected purchaser of the original
Certificate in lieu of which such new Certificate was issued presents for
payment such original Certificate, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar
and
the Trustee or any agent shall be entitled to recover such new Certificate
from
the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking therefrom, except
a
protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or
indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expenses
incurred by the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee or any agent
in connection therewith.

of
receiving distributions pursuant to Sections 5.01 and 5.02 and for all
other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer,

(a) Pending
the preparation of definitive Certificates, upon the order of the Depositor,
the
Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee shall execute and the
Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver temporary Certificates
that
are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced,
in
any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive
Certificates in lieu of which they are issued and with such variations as the
authorized officers executing such Certificates may determine, as evidenced
by
their execution of such Certificates.

(b) If
temporary Certificates are issued, the Depositor will cause definitive
Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the
preparation of definitive Certificates, the temporary Certificates shall be
exchangeable for definitive Certificates upon surrender of the temporary
Certificates at the office or agency of the Certificate Registrar without charge
to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more
temporary Certificates, the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee
shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver in
exchange therefor a like aggregate Certificate Balance of definitive
Certificates of the same Class in the authorized denominations. Until

|
Appointment
of Paying Agent.
|
The
Securities Administrator is hereby appointed as the initial Paying
Agent. The Trustee may appoint a successor Paying Agent (which may be
the Trustee) for the purpose of making distributions to the Certificateholders
hereunder. The Trustee shall cause any Paying Agent, other than the
Securities Administrator, to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument
in
which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that such Paying Agent
will
hold all sums held by it for the payment to the Certificateholders in an
Eligible Account (which shall be the Distribution Account) in trust for the
benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be
paid
to the Certificateholders. All funds remitted by the Securities
Administrator to any such Paying Agent for the purpose of making distributions
shall be paid to the Certificateholders on each Distribution Date and any
amounts not so paid shall be returned on such Distribution Date to the
Securities Administrator. If the Paying Agent is not the Trustee or
the Securities Administrator, the Securities Administrator shall cause to be
remitted to the Paying Agent on or before the Business Day prior to each
Distribution Date, by wire transfer in immediately available funds, the funds
to
be distributed on such Distribution Date. Any Paying Agent shall be
either a bank or trust company or otherwise authorized under law to exercise
corporate trust powers.

Section
3.09.
|
Book-Entry
Certificates.
|
(a) Each
Class of Book-Entry Certificates, upon original issuance, shall be issued in
the
form of one or more typewritten Certificates representing the Book-Entry
Certificates. The Book-Entry Certificates shall initially be
registered on the Certificate Register in the name of the nominee of the
Clearing Agency, and no Certificate Owner will receive a definitive certificate
representing such Certificate Owner’s interest in the Book-Entry Certificates,
except as provided in Section 3.09(c). Unless Definitive
Certificates have been issued to Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates
pursuant to Section 3.09(c):
(i) the
provisions of this Section 3.09 shall be in full force and
effect;
(ii) the
Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Trustee shall deal with the
Clearing Agency for all purposes (including the making of distributions on
the
Book-Entry Certificates) as the authorized representatives of the Certificate
Owners and the Clearing Agency and shall be responsible for crediting the amount
of such distributions
79
to
the
accounts of such Persons entitled thereto, in accordance with the Clearing
Agency’s normal procedures;
(iii) to
the
extent that the provisions of this Section 3.09 conflict with any other
provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 3.09 shall
control; and
(iv) the
rights of Certificate Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency
and the Clearing Agency Participants and shall be limited to those established
by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency
and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. Unless and until Definitive
Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 3.09(c), the initial Clearing
Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants
and
receive and transmit distributions of principal of and interest on the
Book-Entry Certificates to such Clearing Agency Participants.
(b) Whenever
notice or other communication to the Certificateholders is required under this
Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued
to
Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 3.09(c), the Securities
Administrator shall give all such notices and communications specified herein
to
be given to Holders of the Book-Entry Certificates to the Clearing
Agency.
(c) If
(i) (A) the Clearing Agency or the Depositor advises the Certificate
Registrar in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able
to
discharge properly its responsibilities with respect to the Book-Entry
Certificates, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified
successor satisfactory to the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar or (ii)
after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Certificate Owners representing
beneficial interests aggregating not less than 50% of the Class Principal
Balance of a Class of Book-Entry Certificates advise the Paying Agent and the
Clearing Agency through the Clearing Agency Participants in writing that the
continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer
in
the best interests of the Certificate Owners of a Class of Book-Entry
Certificates, the Certificate Registrar shall notify the Clearing Agency to
effect notification to all Certificate Owners, through the Clearing Agency,
of
the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive
Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon
surrender to the Certificate Registrar of the Book-Entry Certificates by the
Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions from the Clearing
Agency for registration, the Certificate Registrar shall issue the Definitive
Certificates. Neither the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar 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 all
references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Clearing
Agency shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Certificate
Registrar, to the extent applicable, with respect to such Definitive
Certificates and the Certificate Registrar shall recognize the holders of the
Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders
hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Certificate Registrar,
upon the instruction of the Depositor, shall have the right to issue Definitive
Certificates on the Closing Date in connection with credit enhancement
programs.

Due Period pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) In
the
event the Master Servicer or a Servicer has remitted in error to the
Distribution Account any amount not required to be remitted in accordance with
the definition of Available Funds, it may at any time direct the Securities
Administrator to withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account for
repayment to the Master Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, by delivery of
an
Officer’s Certificate to the Securities Administrator and the Trustee which
describes the amount deposited in error.
(d) On
each
Distribution Date and related Initial Optional Termination Date, the Securities
Administrator, as Paying Agent, shall withdraw from funds available in the
Distribution Account and distribute the Available Funds to the
Certificateholders and any other
81
parties
entitled thereto in the amounts and priorities set forth in
Section 5.02. The Securities Administrator may from time to time
withdraw from the Distribution Account and pay the Master Servicer, the Trustee,
the Custodian, the Securities Administrator or any Servicer any amounts
permitted to be paid or reimbursed to such Person from funds in the Distribution
Account pursuant to this Agreement or any Purchase and Servicing Agreement
or
any Custodial Agreement.
(e) Funds
in
the Distribution Account may be invested in Permitted Investments selected
by
and at the written direction of the Securities Administrator, which shall mature
not later than one Business Day prior to the Distribution Date (except that
if
such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the Securities Administrator
or
any of its Affiliates, or is managed or advised by the Securities Administrator
or any Affiliate, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than
such applicable Distribution Date) and any such Permitted Investment shall
not
be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All such Permitted
Investments shall be made in the name of the Trustee (in its capacity as such)
or its nominee. All income and gain realized from any Permitted Investment
of
amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of
the
Securities Administrator, as additional compensation for its duties hereunder,
and shall be subject to its withdrawal or order from time to time, and shall
not
be part of the Trust Fund; provided, however, that if Xxxxx
Fargo Bank, National Association is no longer the Master Servicer and the
Securities Administrator, any such income and gain shall be used to pay the
successor Master Servicer and the successor Securities Administrator, the Master
Servicer Compensation and the Securities Administrator Compensation,
respectively. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any
such investments shall be deposited in such Distribution Account by the
Securities Administrator out of its own funds, without any right of

Section
4.03.
|
Depositable
and Exchangeable Certificates.
|
(a) On
the
Closing Date, there is hereby established a grantor trust for federal income
tax
purposes (the “ES Trust”). The ES Trust shall be maintained by the
Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Holders of the Certificates. The assets of the ES Trust shall consist
of the uncertificated Master REMIC Interests, which have been placed in the
ES
Trust through the efforts of the Underwriter. The uncertificated
Master REMIC Interests in the ES Trust shall be held by the Securities
Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee. On the Closing Date, the ES
Trust shall issue the several Classes of Certificates. Each Class of
Exchangeable Certificates shall be issued on the Closing Date with the
respective Class Principal Balance or Notional Amount set forth for such Class
on Exhibit A hereto. Upon the sale of the Certificates on the Closing
Date, the Exchangeable Certificates shall be placed with
83
the
Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, through the efforts of
the
Underwriter to be held to facilitate the exchange of Depositable and
Exchangeable Certificates on and after the Closing Date. Among the
Depositable and Exchangeable Certificates, the beneficial interest of the
uncertificated Master REMIC Interests shall be represented by the related
Depositable Certificates until such Depositable Certificates have been exchanged
for Exchangeable Certificates, at which time, such Exchangeable Certificates
shall represent those uncertificated Master REMIC Interests.
On
or
before the Closing Date, the Securities Administrator shall either (i) open
the
Exchangeable Certificates Distribution Account, (ii) in lieu of maintaining
any
such account or accounts, maintain the Exchangeable Certificates Distribution
Account by means of appropriate entries on its books and records designating
all
amounts credited thereto in respect of the Depositable Certificates and all
investments of any such amounts as being held by it in its capacity as
Securities Administrator for the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates
or
(iii) maintain the Exchangeable Certificates Distribution Account in the form
of
any combination of accounts or book entries described in clauses (i) and (ii)
above. Any manner or manners in which the Exchangeable
Certificates Distribution Account is maintained may at any time be changed
without notice to, or the approval of Holders of, the Certificates so long
as
funds held in the ES Trust by, or for the account of, the Securities
Administrator shall at all times be identified. To the extent that
the Exchangeable Certificates Distribution Account is maintained by the
Securities Administrator in the manner provided for in clause (ii) above, all
references herein to deposits and withdrawals from the Exchangeable Certificates
Distribution Account shall be deemed to refer to credits and debits to the
related books of the Securities Administrator. All funds on deposit
in the Exchangeable Certificates Distribution Account shall be held separate
and
apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys, including
without limitation, other moneys held by or on behalf of the Securities
Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement.
On
each
Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee,
as
holder of any surrendered Depositable Certificates, shall deposit in the
Exchangeable Certificates Distribution Account any amounts distributable to
the
surrendered Depositable Certificates pursuant to Section 5.02. For
the avoidance of doubt, if on any Distribution Date no Classes of Depositable
Certificates have been surrendered or if all Classes of Exchangeable
Certificates have been exchanged for Depositable Certificates according to
Section 4.03(e), then no amounts will be deposited in the Exchangeable
Certificates Deposit Account on such Distribution Date.
(b) The
Securities Administrator shall deposit in the Exchangeable Certificates
Distribution Account all distributions in respect of the Depositable
Certificates received by it as Securities Administrator
hereunder. Funds in the Exchangeable Certificates Distribution
Account shall remain uninvested.
(c) On
each
Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee,
shall
withdraw funds on deposit in the Exchangeable Certificates Distribution Account
on deposit therein from distributions to the surrendered Depositable
Certificates for such Distribution Date and shall cause the Paying Agent to
distribute such amount to the Holders of each related Class of Exchangeable
Certificates. Amounts related to interest distributed to the
surrendered Depositable Certificates shall be distributed as interest to the
related Class or Classes
84
of
Exchangeable Certificates pursuant to Section 5.02(a). All
distributions of principal to the Exchangeable Certificates shall be made pro
rata among the Classes of Exchangeable Certificates within each Recombination
Group unless specifically provided for otherwise in Section 5.02
hereof. All distributions that are made with respect to a particular
Class of Exchangeable Certificates shall be made pro rata among all Certificates
of such Class in proportion to their respective Class Principal
Balances.
In
addition, the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, may from
time
to time make withdrawals from the Exchangeable Certificates Distribution Account
for the following purposes:
(i) to
withdraw any amount deposited in the Exchangeable Certificates Distribution
Account and not required to be deposited therein; and
(ii) to
clear
and terminate the Exchangeable Certificates Distribution Account upon the
termination of this Agreement.
(d) On
each
Distribution Date on which a Class of Exchangeable Certificates shall be
entitled to receive distributions pursuant to Section 4.03(b), such Class shall
be allocated a proportionate share of the Net Prepayment Interest Shortfalls
and
Relief Act Shortfalls allocable to the Classes of Depositable Certificates
in
the related Recombination Group.
(e) On
each
Distribution Date on which a Class of Exchangeable Certificates shall be
entitled to receive distributions pursuant to Section 4.03(b), such Class shall
be allocated a proportionate share of the Realized Losses allocable to the
Classes of Depositable Certificates in the related Recombination Group unless
specifically provided for otherwise in Section 5.04(b) hereof.
(f) Upon
the
presentation and surrender of the Depositable Certificates, the Holder thereof
transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Securities
Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, as trustee of the ES Trust, all of
such
Holder’s right, title and interest in and to such Depositable Certificates,
including all payments of interest thereon received after the month of the
exchange.
At
the
request of the Holder of a Class or Classes of Depositable Certificates, and
upon the surrender of such Depositable Certificates, the Securities
Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall deliver such Exchangeable
Certificates as set forth in such Recombination Group in the respective
denominations determined based on the proportion that the initial Class
Principal Balance or initial Notional Amounts of such Exchangeable Certificates
bear to the initial Class Principal Balances of the Depositable Certificates,
as
set forth in Schedule C, which shall represent in the aggregate, the entire
beneficial ownership of the Master REMIC Interests related to such surrendered
Certificates. In addition, at the request of the Holder of a Class or
Classes of Exchangeable Certificates, and upon the surrender of such
Exchangeable Certificates, the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the
Trustee, shall exchange such Exchangeable Certificates for another Class or
Classes of Exchangeable Certificates or the related surrendered Depositable
Certificates, as set forth in Schedule C. There shall be no
limitation on the number of exchanges authorized pursuant to this Section
4.03.
85
Exchangeable
Certificates shall be exchangeable on the books of DTC for Depositable
Certificates, and Depositable Certificates shall be exchangeable on the books
of
DTC for Exchangeable Certificates, on and after the Closing Date, by notice
to
the Securities Administrator substantially in the form of Exhibit S-1 (exchange
of Depositable Certificates for Exchangeable Certificates) or Exhibit S-2
(exchange of Exchangeable Certificates for Depositable Certificates) hereto,
as
applicable or, under the terms and conditions set forth herein.
In
order
to effect an exchange of Certificates, the Certificateholder shall notify the
Securities Administrator in writing or by e-mail at
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx no later than two Business Days before the
proposed exchange date. The exchange date with respect to the
Certificates may be any Business Day from and including the 25th calendar
day of

and each Certificate to be received; outstanding Class Principal Balance or
Notional Amount, as applicable, and the Original Class Principal Balance or
Notional Amount, as applicable, of the Certificate to be exchanged, the
Certificateholder’s DTC participant number; and the proposed exchange
date. After receiving the notice, the Securities Administrator shall
e-mail the Certificateholder with wire payment instructions relating to the
exchange fee. A notice becomes irrevocable on the second Business Day
before the proposed exchange date. Notwithstanding any other
provision herein set forth, a fee of $5,000 shall be payable to the Securities
Administrator in connection with each exchange.
The
Securities Administrator shall make the first distribution on an Exchangeable

Distributions
Generally.
|
(a) Subject
to Section 7.01 respecting the final distribution on the Certificates, on
each Distribution Date the Securities Administrator or the Paying Agent shall
make distributions in accordance with this Article V. Such
distributions shall be made by check mailed to each Certificateholder’s address
as it appears on the Certificate Register of the Certificate Registrar or,
upon
written request made to the Securities Administrator at least five Business
Days
prior to the related Record Date by any Certificateholder owning an aggregate
initial Certificate Balance of at least $1,000,000, or in the case of a Class
of
Notional Amount Certificates or Residual Certificate, a Percentage Interest
of
not less than 100%, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an
account specified in the request and at the expense of such Certificateholder;
provided, however, that the final distribution in respect of
any Certificate shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such
Certificate at the Certificate Registrar’s Corporate Trust Office;
provided, further, that the foregoing provisions shall not
apply to any Class of Certificates as long as such Certificate remains a
Book-Entry Certificate in which case all payments made shall be made through
the
Clearing Agency and its Clearing Agency Participants. Notwithstanding
the reduction of the Class Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates to
zero, such Class will be outstanding hereunder (solely for the purpose of
receiving distributions and not for any other purpose) until the termination
of
the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee hereunder in accordance
with Article VII. Wire transfers will be made at the expense of the
Holder requesting such wire transfer by deducting a wire transfer fee from
the
related distribution. Notwithstanding such final payment of principal
of any of the Certificates, each Residual Certificate will remain outstanding
until the termination of each REMIC and the payment in full of all other amounts
due with respect to the Residual Certificates and at such time such final
payment in retirement of any Residual Certificate will be made only upon
presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Certificate Registrar’s
Corporate Trust Office. If any payment required to be made on the
Certificates is to be made on a day that is not a Business Day, then such
payment will be made on the next succeeding Business Day.
(b) All
distributions or allocations made with respect to the Certificateholders within
each Class on each Distribution Date shall be allocated among the outstanding
Certificates in such Class equally in proportion to their respective initial
Class Principal Balances or initial Notional Amounts (or Percentage
Interests).

calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution Date, the excess of
one
month’s interest at the related Net Mortgage Rate on Stated Principal
Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the first day of the related Due Period
in
such month over the amount of Liquidation Proceeds applied as interest

the priority and allocation contained in Section 5.02(a)(8)I., with respect
to
the Aggregate Group I Subordinated Certificates, and in Section 5.02(a)(8)II.,

Distribution Date, with respect to any Class of Aggregate Group I
Subordinated Certificates or Class of Aggregate Group II Subordinated
Certificates (other than the Class of Aggregate Group I Subordinated
Certificates and Class of Aggregate Group II Subordinated Certificates then
outstanding with the highest priority of distribution), the sum of the related
Class Subordination Percentages of such Class and of all Classes of
Aggregate Group I Subordinated Certificates or Class of Aggregate Group II
Subordinated Certificates, as applicable, which have a higher numerical
Class designation than such Class (the related “Applicable
Credit Support Percentage”) is less than the Original Applicable
Credit Support Percentage for such Class, no distribution of (x) Principal
Prepayments on the Mortgage Loans in Aggregate Loan Group I or (y) Net Principal
Prepayments related to Aggregate Loan Group II will be made to any such Classes
(in each case, the “Restricted Classes”) and the
amount of such (x) Principal Prepayments on the Mortgage Loans in Aggregate
Loan
Group I and (y) Net Principal Prepayments related to Aggregate Loan Group II,
in
each case otherwise distributable to the Restricted Classes shall be distributed
to the outstanding Classes of Aggregate Group I Subordinated Certificates or
Class of Aggregate Group II Subordinated Certificates, as applicable, having
lower numerical Class designations than such Class, pro rata, based on
their respective Class Principal Balances immediately prior to such Distribution
Date and shall be distributed in the sequential order provided in Section

5.02(a)(8)I.
or Section 5.02(a)(8)II., as applicable. Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement to the contrary, the Class of Subordinated Certificates in an
Aggregate Certificate Group then outstanding with the highest distribution
priority shall not be a Restricted Class.
If
the
amount of a Realized Loss on an Aggregate Loan Group I Mortgage Loan has been
reduced by application of Subsequent Recoveries with respect to a Liquidated
Mortgage Loan in Aggregate Loan Group I, the amount of such
Subsequent Recoveries will be applied sequentially, in the order of payment
priority, to increase the Class Principal Balance of each Class of Aggregate
Group I Certificates to which Realized Losses have been allocated, but in each
case by not more than the amount of Realized Losses previously allocated to
that
Class of Aggregate Group I Certificates pursuant to Section
5.04. Holders of such Certificates will not be entitled to any
payment in respect of the Class Optimal Interest Distribution Amount on the
amount of such increases for any Interest Accrual Period preceding the
Distribution Date on which such increase occurs. Any such increases
shall be applied pro rata to the Certificate Balance of each Certificate of
such
Class. If the amount of a Realized Loss on a Aggregate Loan Group II
Mortgage Loan has been reduced by application of Subsequent Recoveries with
respect to a Liquidated Mortgage Loan in Aggregate Loan Group II, the amount
of
such Subsequent Recoveries will be applied sequentially, in the order of payment
priority, to increase the Class Principal Balance of each Class of Aggregate
Group II Certificates to which Realized Losses have been allocated, but in
each
case by not more than the amount of Realized Losses previously allocated to
that
Class of Aggregate Group II Certificates pursuant to Section
5.04. Holders of such Certificates will not be entitled to any
payment in respect of the Class Optimal Interest Distribution Amount on the
amount of such increases for any Interest Accrual Period preceding the
Distribution Date on which such increase occurs. Any such increases
shall be applied pro rata to the Certificate Balance of each Certificate of
such
Class.

related Senior Certificate Group and the Subordinated Percentage (based upon
the
related Subordinated Portion) of that Net Deferred Interest will be allocated,
in the aggregate, to the Aggregate Group II Subordinated
Certificates. Within the Aggregate Group II Senior Certificates, on
each Distribution Date, the Senior Percentage of the Net Deferred Interest,
if
any, that will be added to the Class Principal Balance of each Class of Senior
Certificates will be calculated based upon the excess, if any, of (i) the amount
of interest that accrued on such Class of Certificates at its respective
Pass-Through Rate during the Interest Accrual Period related to that
Distribution Date, over (ii) the amount of interest that accrues on such Class
at the related Adjusted Net WAC Cap Rate for the Interest Accrual Period related
to that Distribution Date.
(b) Within
the Aggregate Group II Subordinated Certificates, on each Distribution Date,
the
Subordinated Percentage of the Net Deferred Interest for each Loan Group in
Aggregate Loan Group II, if any, that will be added to the Class Principal
Balance of each Class of Subordinated Certificates will be calculated based
upon
the product of (x) the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that
accrued on such Class of Certificates at its respective Pass-
99
Through
Rate during the Interest Accrual Period related to that Distribution Date,
over
(ii) the amount of interest that accrues on such Class at the Aggregate Group
II
Subordinated Adjusted Net WAC Cap Rate for the Interest Accrual Period related
to that Distribution Date and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the
Subordinated Portion related to that Loan Group for that Distribution Date
(prior to giving effect to any distributions on that Distribution Date), and
the
denominator of which is the aggregate Class Principal Balance of the Aggregate
Group II Subordinated Certificates immediately prior to that Distribution
Date.

Allocation
of Losses.
|
(a) On
or
prior to each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall aggregate
the information provided by each Servicer with respect to the total amount

Losses with respect to the Mortgage Loans in any Loan Group on any Distribution
Date shall be allocated as follows:
(i) [Reserved];
and
(ii) (A)
any
Realized Loss with respect to any Loan Group of Aggregate Group I Mortgage
Loans
(other than an Excess Loss) shall be allocated first to the Aggregate Group
I
Subordinated Certificates, in the reverse order of their numerical Class
designations (beginning with the Class of Aggregate Group I Subordinated
Certificates then outstanding with the highest numerical Class designation),
in
each case until the Class Principal Balance of the respective Class of
Certificates has been reduced to zero, and second to the Senior Certificates
(other than any Notional Amount Certificates, if applicable), of the related
Senior Certificate Group, pro rata, on the basis of their respective Class
Principal Balances or, in the case of any Class of Accrual Certificates or
Accrual Component, on the basis of the lesser of their Class Principal Balance
or Component Balance, as applicable, in each case immediately prior to the
related Distribution Date until the respective Class Principal Balance of each
such Class is reduced to zero; provided, that (i) any Realized Losses on the
Group 1 Mortgage Loans that would otherwise be allocated to the Class 1-A-1

these
Classes of Certificates can be deposited in exchange) will instead be allocated
to the Class 1-A-2 Certificates, until its Class Principal Balance is reduced
to
zero, (ii) after the Class Principal Balance of Class 1-A-2 Certificates is
reduced to zero, any Realized Losses on the Group 1 Mortgage Loans that would

Mortgage Loans shall be allocated among the Senior Certificates of the related
Senior Certificate Group (other than any Notional Amount Certificates) and
the
Aggregate Group I Subordinated Certificates then outstanding, pro rata, on
the
basis of, with respect to such Senior Certificates, their respective Class
Principal Balances, or in the case of any Class of Accrual Certificates or
Accrual Component, on the basis of the lesser of their respective Class
Principal Balance and their respective initial Class Principal Balance or their
respective Component Balance or their respective initial Component Balance,
as
the case may be, in each case immediately prior to the related Distribution
Date
and, with respect to each Class of Aggregate Group I Subordinated Certificates,
each Class’ share of the Subordinated Portion for the related Loan Group in
which such Excess Loss occurs. Each Class of Aggregate Group I
Subordinated Certificates share of the Subordinated Portion for a Loan Group
will be based on the Class Principal Balance of each Class of Aggregate Group
I
Subordinated Certificates; provided, however, on any Distribution Date after
the
third related Senior Termination Date, (i) any Bankruptcy Losses or Fraud Losses
on the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group shall be allocated pro rata

any
Distribution Date on and after the related Senior Credit Support Depletion
Date,
any Excess Loss on an Aggregate Group I Mortgage Loan shall be allocated pro
rata among the Senior Certificates in the related Senior Certificate Group
based
on their respective Class Principal Balances immediately prior to such
Distribution Date;
101
(iii) (A)
any
Realized Loss with respect to any Loan Group of Aggregate Group II Mortgage
Loans (other than an Excess Loss) shall be allocated first to the Aggregate
Group II Subordinated Certificates, in the reverse order of their numerical

Certificates then outstanding with the highest numerical Class designation),
in
each case until the Class Principal Balance of the respective Class of
Certificates has been reduced to zero, and second to the Senior Certificates
(other than any Notional Amount Certificates, if applicable), of the related
Senior Certificate Group, pro rata, on the basis of their respective Class
Principal Balances or, in the case of any Class of Accrual Certificates or

any
Excess Losses on the Mortgage Loans in a Loan Group of Aggregate Group II
Mortgage Loans shall be allocated among the Senior Certificates of the related
Senior Certificate Group (other than any Notional Amount Certificates) and
the
Aggregate Group II Subordinated Certificates then outstanding, pro rata, on
the
basis of, with respect to such Senior Certificates, their respective Class
Principal Balances, or in the case of any Class of Accrual Certificates or

II
Subordinated Certificates, each Class’ share of the Subordinated Portion for the
related Loan Group II which such Excess Loss occurs. Each Class of
Aggregate Group II Subordinated Certificates share of the Subordinated Portion
for a Loan Group will be based on the Class Principal Balance of each Class
of
Aggregate Group II Subordinated Certificates; provided, however, on any
Distribution Date after a related Senior Termination Date, (i) any Bankruptcy
Losses or Fraud Losses on the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group shall
be
allocated pro rata to all Classes and Components of Senior Certificates (other
than any Notional Amount Certificates) in the related Senior Certificate Group
on the basis of their respective initial Class Principal Balances or Component
Balances, as applicable, or in the case of any or in the case of any Class
of
Accrual Certificates or Accrual Component, on the basis of the lesser of their
respective Class Principal Balance and their respective initial Class Principal
Balance or their respective Component Balance or their respective initial
Component Balance, as the case may be, in each case immediately prior to the
related Distribution Date, and (ii) any Excess Losses on the Mortgage Loans
in
the related Loan Group shall be allocated pro rata to all Classes and Components
of Senior Certificates (other than any Notional Amount Certificates, if

II
Subordinated Certificates based upon their respective Class Principal Balances
immediately prior to such Distribution Date; provided further, however, on
any
Distribution Date on and after the related Senior Credit Support Depletion
Date,
any Excess Loss on an Aggregate Group II Mortgage Loan shall be allocated pro
rata among the Senior Certificates in the related Senior Certificate Group
based
on their respective Class Principal Balances immediately prior to such
Distribution Date;
(c) The
Class
Principal Balance of the Class of Subordinated Certificates in each Aggregate
Certificate Group then outstanding with the highest numerical Class designation
shall be reduced on each Distribution Date by the amount, if any, by which
the
aggregate of the Class Principal Balances of all outstanding Classes of
Certificates in that Aggregate Certificate Group (after giving effect to the
distribution of principal and the allocation of Realized Losses on such
Distribution Date), exceeds the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans in the related Aggregate Loan Group for the following
Distribution Date.
(d) Any
Realized Loss allocated to a Class of Certificates or any reduction in the
Class
Principal Balance of a Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 5.04(b) above
or Section 5.04(g) below shall be allocated among the Certificates of such
Class
in proportion to their respective Certificate Balances.
(e) Any
allocation of Realized Losses to a Certificate or to any Component or any
reduction in the Certificate Balance of a Certificate, pursuant to Section
5.04(b) above shall be accomplished by reducing the Certificate Balance or
Component Balance thereof, as applicable, immediately following the
distributions made on the related Distribution Date in accordance with the
definition of “Certificate Balance” or “Component Balance,” as the case may
be. All Realized Losses or Excess Losses allocated to a Class of
Component Certificates will be allocated, pro rata, to the related
Components.
103
(f) For
the
avoidance of doubt, no Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans in any Loan Group
shall be allocated to the Class P-1 and Class P-2 Certificates.

Advances
by the Master Servicer.

If
any
Servicer fails to remit any Advance required to be made under the applicable
Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall itself make, or
shall cause the successor Servicer to make, such Advance. If the
Master Servicer determines that an Advance is required, it shall on the Business
Day preceding the related Distribution Date immediately following such
Determination Date remit to the Securities Administrator from its own funds
(or
funds advanced by the applicable Servicer) for deposit in the Distribution
Account immediately available funds in an amount equal to such
Advance. The Master Servicer and each Servicer shall be entitled to
be reimbursed for all Advances made by it. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, in the event the Master Servicer determines in its reasonable
judgment that an Advance is non-recoverable, the Master Servicer shall be under
no obligation to make such Advance. If the Master Servicer determines
that an Advance is non-recoverable, it shall, on or prior to the related
Distribution Date, deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee and the
Securities Administrator to such effect. Neither the Master Servicer
nor any Servicer shall be under any obligation to make an Advance with respect
to the principal portion of any Balloon Loan that is delinquent on its maturity
date; provided that each Servicer’s rights and obligations under the
applicable Purchase and Servicing Agreement shall in no way be contravened
by
this Section 5.05.

The
amount of compensation payable to the Securities Administrator in respect of
the
Mortgage Loans and any Distribution Date shall be reduced (but not below zero)
by the amount of any aggregate Compensating Interest Payment from the Servicers
for such Distribution Date, but only to the extent that Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls relating to such Distribution Date are required to be paid by the
Servicers pursuant to the Purchase and Servicing Agreements, as amended by
the
Acknowledgements, but are not actually paid by the Servicer. Such
amount shall not be treated as an Advance and shall not be
reimbursable.

(a) On
each
Distribution Date after the first related Senior Termination Date but prior
to
the earlier of the related Senior Credit Support Depletion Date and the third
related Senior Termination Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute
the principal portion of Available Funds on the Mortgage Loans relating to
the
Senior Certificates in Aggregate Certificate Group I that will have been paid
in
full to the holders of the Senior Certificates of the other Senior Certificate
Groups in Aggregate Certificate Group I.
(b) If
on any

Senior Certificates in an Aggregate Group I Senior Certificate Group is greater
than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Aggregate Group I Mortgage
Loans in the related Loan Group at the end of the Prepayment Period related
to
the immediately preceding
104
Distribution
Date (but after giving effect to the allocation of any Excess Losses on the
related Mortgage Loans with respect to such Distribution Date) (each such group
in an Aggregate Loan Group, an “Undercollateralized
Group(s)”), then the Securities Administrator shall apply the
Available Funds of the other Loan Group that is not undercollateralized (each
such group in an Aggregate Loan Group, an “Overcollateralized
Group”), as follows:
(i) to
add to
the Available Funds of the Undercollateralized Group an amount equal to the
lesser of (a) one month’s interest on the Transfer Payment Received of the
Undercollateralized Group at the Weighted Average Mortgage Rate (minus the
weighted average Expense Fee Rate) applicable to the Undercollateralized Group
and (b) Available Funds of the Overcollateralized Group remaining after making
distributions to the Certificates of the Overcollateralized Group on such
Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.02; and
(ii) to
the
Senior Certificates of each Undercollateralized Group, to the extent of the
principal portion of Available Funds of the Overcollateralized Group remaining
after making distributions to the Senior Certificates of the Overcollateralized
Group on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.02, until the Class
Principal Balance of the Senior Certificates of such Undercollateralized Group
equals the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the
related Loan Group.
The
payment received by the Undercollateralized Group is referred to as a
“Transfer Payment Received.”
The payment made by the Overcollateralized Group is referred to as a
“Transfer Payment
Made.”
(c) With
respect to each Aggregate Loan Group, on each Distribution Date after the its
first related Senior Termination Date but prior to the earlier of the related
Senior Credit Support Depletion Date and (x) the third related Senior
Termination Date, in the case of the Aggregate Group I Senior Certificates,
or
(y) a related Senior Termination Date, in the case of the Aggregate Group II
Senior Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall distribute the principal
portion of Available Funds on the Mortgage Loans in a Loan Group relating to
that Senior Certificate Group, pro rata, based on Class Principal Balances,
to
the Senior Certificates then outstanding relating to the other Loan Groups
in
that Aggregate Loan Group, provided, however, that the
Securities Administrator shall not make such distribution on such Distribution
Date if (a) the Aggregate Subordinated Percentage for such Distribution Date
is
greater than or equal to 200% of such Aggregate Subordinated Percentage as
of
the Closing Date and (b) the average aggregate Stated Principal Balance of
all
of the Mortgage Loans in the related Aggregate Loan Group delinquent 60 days
or
more (averaged over the preceding six month period), as a percentage of the
aggregate Class Principal Balance of the Subordinated Certificates in that
Aggregate Certificate Group, is less than 50%.
(d) If
on any
Distribution Date the aggregate Class Principal Balance of Aggregate Group
II
Senior Certificates in an Aggregate Group II Senior Certificate Group is greater
than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Aggregate Group II Mortgage
Loans in the related Loan Group at the end of the Prepayment Period
related to the immediately preceding Distribution Date (but after giving effect
to the allocation of any Excess Losses on the related Mortgage Loans with
respect to such Distribution Date) (each such group in an
105
Aggregate
Loan Group, an “Undercollateralized Group(s)”), then
the Securities Administrator shall apply the Available Funds of the other Loan
Group(s) that is not undercollateralized (each such group in an Aggregate Loan
Group, an “Overcollateralized Group”), as
follows:
(i) to
add to
the Available Funds of the Undercollateralized Group an amount equal to the
lesser of (a) one month’s interest on the Transfer Payment Received of the
Undercollateralized Group at the Weighted Average Mortgage Rate (minus the
weighted average Expense Fee Rate) applicable to the Undercollateralized
Group(s) and (b) Available Funds of the Overcollateralized Group(s) remaining
after making distributions to the Certificates of the Overcollateralized
Group(s) on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.02; and
(ii) to
the
Senior Certificates of each Undercollateralized Group, to the extent of the
principal portion of Available Funds of the Overcollateralized Group(s)
remaining after making distributions to the Senior Certificates of the
Overcollateralized Group(s) on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.02,
until the Class Principal Balance of the Senior Certificates of such
Undercollateralized Group(s) equals the aggregate Stated Principal Balance
of
the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group(s), any shortfall of such Available
Funds to be allocated among such Undercollateralized Group(s), pro rata, based
upon the respective Transfer Payments.
The
payment received by the Undercollateralized Group is referred to as a
“Transfer Payment Received.”
The payment made by the Overcollateralized Group is referred to as a

Section
5.09.

Determination
of Pass-Through Rates for LIBOR
Certificates.
|
(a) On
each
Interest Determination Date after the initial Interest Determination Date and
for so long as any LIBOR Certificates (including for this purpose any
Exchangeable Certificates with a Class Principal Balance or Notional Amount,
as
applicable, that is greater than zero) are outstanding, the Securities
Administrator will determine LIBOR on the basis of the British Bankers’
Association (“BBA”) “Interest Settlement Rate” for one-month deposits in U.S.
dollars as found on LIBOR01 as of 11:00 a.m. London time on each related LIBOR
Determination Date (or on such other page as may replace that page on that
service for the purpose of displaying comparable rates or prices).
(b) If
on any
Interest Determination Date, LIBOR cannot be determined as provided in paragraph
(a) of this Section 5.09, the Securities Administrator shall either (i) request
each Reference Bank to inform the Securities Administrator of the quotation
offered by its principal London office for making one-month United States dollar
deposits in leading banks in the London interbank market, as of 11:00 a.m.
(London time) on such Interest Determination Date or (ii) in lieu of making
any
such request, rely on such Reference Bank quotations that appear at such time
on
the Reuters Screen LIBO Page (as defined in the International Swap Dealers
Association Inc. Code of Standard Wording, Assumptions and Provisions for Swaps,
1986 Edition), to the extent available. LIBOR for the next related
Interest Accrual Period will be established by the Securities Administrator
on
each interest Determination Date as follows:
106
(i) If
on any
Interest Determination Date two or more Reference Banks provide such offered
quotations, LIBOR for the next applicable Interest Accrual Period shall be
the
arithmetic mean of such offered quotations (rounding such arithmetic mean
upwards if necessary to the nearest whole multiple of 1/32%).
(ii) If
on any
Interest Determination Date only one or none of the Reference Banks provides
such offered quotations, LIBOR for the next Interest Accrual Period shall be
whichever is the higher of (i) LIBOR as determined on the previous related
Interest Determination Date or (ii) the Reserve Interest Rate. The
“Reserve Interest Rate” shall be the rate per annum which the Securities
Administrator determines to be either (i) the arithmetic mean (rounded upwards
if necessary to the nearest whole multiple of 1/32%) of the one-month United
States dollar lending rates that New York City banks selected by the Securities
Administrator are quoting, on the relevant Interest Determination Date, to
the
principal London offices of at least two of the Reference Banks to which such
quotations are, in the opinion of the Securities Administrator, being so made,
or (ii) in the event that the Securities Administrator can determine no such
arithmetic mean, the lowest one-month United States dollar lending rate which
New York City banks selected by the Securities Administrator are quoting on
such
Interest Determination Date to leading European banks.
(iii) If
on any
Interest Determination Date the Securities Administrator is required but is
unable to determine the Reserve Interest Rate in the manner provided in
paragraph (b) above, LIBOR for the related Classes of Certificates shall be
LIBOR as determined on the preceding applicable Interest Determination
Date.
Until
all
of the LIBOR Certificates are paid in full, the Securities Administrator will
at
all times retain at least four Reference Banks for the purpose of determining
LIBOR with respect to each Interest Determination Date. The
Securities Administrator initially shall designate the Reference
Banks. Each “Reference Bank” shall be a leading bank engaged in
transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the international Eurocurrency market,
shall not control, be controlled by, or be under common control with, the
Securities Administrator and shall have an established place of business in
London. If any such Reference Bank should be unwilling or unable to
act as such or if the Master Servicer should terminate its appointment as
Reference Bank, the Securities Administrator shall promptly appoint or cause
to
be appointed another Reference Bank. The Securities Administrator
shall have no liability or responsibility to any Person for (i) the selection
of
any Reference Bank for purposes of determining LIBOR or (ii) any inability
to
retain at least four Reference Banks which is caused by circumstances beyond
its
reasonable control.
(c) The
Pass-Through Rate for each Class of LIBOR Certificates for each Interest Accrual
Period shall be determined by the Securities Administrator on each related
Interest Determination Date so long as such Classes of LIBOR Certificates are
outstanding on the basis of LIBOR and the respective formulae appearing in
footnotes corresponding to the LIBOR Certificates in the table relating to
the
LIBOR Certificates in the Preliminary Statement.
(d) In
determining LIBOR, any Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR Certificates, any
Interest Settlement Rate, or any Reserve Interest Rate, the Securities
Administrator may
107
conclusively
rely and shall be protected in relying upon the offered quotations (whether
written, oral or on the Dow Xxxxx Markets) from the BBA designated banks, the
Reference Banks or the New York City banks as to LIBOR, the Interest Settlement
Rate or the Reserve Interest Rate, as appropriate, in effect from time to
time. The Securities Administrator shall not have any liability or
responsibility to any Person for (i) the selection of New York City banks for
purposes of determining any Reserve Interest Rate or (ii) its inability,
following a good-faith reasonable effort, to obtain such quotations from, the
BBA designated banks, the Reference Banks or the New York City banks or to
determine such arithmetic mean, all as provided for in this Section
5.09.
(e) The
establishment of LIBOR and each Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR Certificates
by
the Securities Administrator shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final,
conclusive and binding upon each Holder of a Certificate and the Securities
Administrator.

Duties
of Trustee and the Securities
Administrator.
|
(a) The
Trustee, except during the continuance of an Event of Default, and the
Securities Administrator undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties
as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. Any permissive right
of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator provided for in this Agreement
shall not be construed as a duty of the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator. If an Event of Default has occurred and has not
otherwise been cured or waived, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator
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, unless the Trustee is acting as master servicer, in which case
it
shall use the same degree of care and skill (in its capacity as successor Master
Servicer) as a master servicer hereunder.
(b) Each
of
the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions,
certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other
instruments furnished to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator which
are
specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they are in the form required
by this Agreement; provided, however, that neither the Trustee
nor the Securities Administrator shall be responsible for the accuracy or
content of any such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report,
document, order or other instrument furnished by the Master Servicer or any
Servicer to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator pursuant to this
Agreement, and shall not be required to recalculate or verify any numerical
information furnished to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator pursuant
to
this Agreement. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, if any
such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or
other instrument is found not to conform to the form required by this Agreement
in a material manner the Securities Administrator shall take such action as
it
deems appropriate to cause the instrument to be corrected, and if the instrument
is not corrected to the
108
Securities
Administrator ’s satisfaction, the Securities Administrator will provide notice
thereof to the Certificateholders and will, at the expense of the Trust Fund,
which expense shall be reasonable given the scope and nature of the required
action, take such further action as directed by the
Certificateholders.
(c) Neither
the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall have any liability arising
out of or in connection with this Agreement, except for its respective
negligence or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator
shall be liable for special, indirect or consequential losses or damages of
any
kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, lost profits). No
provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided,
however, that:
(i) The
Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken,
suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
direction of Holders of Certificates, as provided in Section 6.18
hereof;

the Depositor will promptly appoint a successor trustee, by written instrument,

therefor by the Depositor, (ii) the Trustee shall become incapable of
acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the
Trustee of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take
charge or control of the Trustee or of either of their property or affairs
for
the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, (iii) (A) a tax
is imposed or threatened with respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which
the Trustee or the Trust Fund held by the Trustee is located due to the location

Trust Fund against such tax (iv) the continued use of the Trustee would
result in a downgrading of the rating by any Rating Agency of any Class of
Certificates with a rating, or (v) the Trustee fails to comply with its
obligations under the penultimate paragraph of Section 6.14(a), in the preceding
paragraph or Article XII and such failure is not remedied within the lesser
of
10 calendar days or such period in which the applicable Exchange Act Report
can
be filed timely (without taking into account any extensions), then, in the
case
of clauses (i) through (iv), the Depositor shall remove the Trustee and the
Depositor shall appoint a successor trustee, acceptable to the Master Servicer
by written instrument, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the
Trustee so removed, one copy to the successor trustee, one copy to the
Securities Administrator and one copy to the Master Servicer.
(c) The
Holders of more than 50% of the Class Principal Balance (or Percentage Interest)
of each Class of Certificates may at any time upon 30 days’ written notice to
the Trustee and to the Depositor remove the Trustee by such written instrument,
signed by such Holders or their attorney-in-fact duly authorized, one copy
of

one copy to the Securities Administrator and one copy to the Master Servicer;
the Depositor shall thereupon appoint a successor trustee in accordance with
this Section.
(d) Any
resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall become effective upon

of dismissal, the Trustee who received such notice of dismissal may petition
any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
trustee.
114
(e) The
Securities Administrator shall not resign except in accordance with the
provisions of Sections 9.06 and 9.07 hereof, to the same extent that the Master
Servicer is entitled to resign or assign or delegate, as applicable, its duties
hereunder.
(f) If
at any
time the Securities Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with
the provisions of Section 9.10 hereof and shall fail to resign after written
request thereto by the Depositor, or if at any time the Securities Administrator
shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent,
or a receiver of the Securities Administrator or of its property shall be
appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Securities
Administrator or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation, or a tax is imposed with respect to the Trust
Fund
by any state in which the Securities Administrator or the Trust Fund is located
and the imposition of such tax would be avoided by the appointment of a
different Securities Administrator, then the Depositor or the Trustee may remove
the Securities Administrator and appoint a successor securities administrator
by
written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be
delivered to the Securities Administrator so removed, one copy of which shall
be
delivered to the Master Servicer and one copy to the successor securities
administrator.
(g) If
no
successor securities administrator shall have been appointed and shall have
accepted appointment within 60 days after Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Securities
Administrator, ceases to be the securities administrator pursuant to this
Section 6.06, then the Trustee (as successor Securities Administrator) shall
perform the duties of the Securities Administrator pursuant to this
Agreement. The Trustee shall notify the Rating Agencies of any change
of the Securities Administrator. In such event, the Trustee shall
assume all of the rights and obligations of the Securities Administrator
hereunder arising thereafter except that the Trustee shall not be (i) liable
for
losses of the predecessor Securities Administrator or any acts or omissions
of
the predecessor Securities Administrator hereunder, (ii) deemed to have made
any
representations and warranties of the Securities Administrator made herein
and
(iii) subject to the same resignation limitations as set forth in Section 9.06
hereof; provided, however, that the Trustee (as successor
securities administrator) shall not resign until a successor securities
administrator has accepted appointment pursuant to Section 6.07
hereof. The Trustee shall not be accountable, shall have no liability
and makes no representation as to any acts or omissions hereunder of the
Securities Administrator until such time as the Trustee may be required to
act
as successor Securities Administrator pursuant to this Section 6.06 and
thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the Trustee as successor Securities
Administrator. If the Trustee is unwilling, or unable, to act as
successor Securities Administrator, then, in such event, the Trustee may
appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor
Securities Administrator meeting the criteria set forth in Section 9.10
hereof. Such successor Securities Administrator shall be entitled to
the Securities Administrator Compensation.
(h) The
Trustee as successor securities administrator shall be entitled to be reimbursed
for all reasonable costs and expenses associated with the transfer of the duties
of the Securities Administrator by the predecessor Securities Administrator,
including, without limitation, any costs or expenses associated with the
complete transfer of all securities administrator data and the completion,
correction or manipulation of such securities administrator data as may be
required by the Trustee as successor securities administrator to correct any
errors or insufficiencies in such securities administrator data or otherwise
to
enable
115
the
Trustee or successor securities administrator to perform the duties of the
Securities Administrator properly and effectively; provided,
however, that the predecessor Securities Administrator shall not be
obligated to make any such reimbursements if such Securities Administrator
was
terminated or removed without cause or if such termination or removal was a
result of the imposition of any tax on the Trust Estate by any state in which
the Securities Administrator or the Trust Fund is located. If such
costs are not paid by the predecessor Securities Administrator, the Trustee
shall pay such costs from the Trust Fund.
(i) The
Trustee, as successor Securities Administrator, as compensation for its
activities hereunder as successor Securities Administrator, shall be entitled
to
retain or withdraw from the Distribution Account an amount equal to the
Securities Administrator Compensation.
(j) The
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights may at
any
time remove the Securities Administrator and appoint a successor securities
administrator by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by
such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of
which instruments shall be delivered by the successor Securities Administrator
to the Trustee, one complete set to the Securities Administrator so removed
and
one complete set to the successor so appointed. Notice of any removal
of the Securities Administrator shall be given to each Rating Agency by the
successor securities administrator.
(k) Any
resignation or removal of the Securities Administrator and appointment of a
successor securities administrator pursuant to any of the provisions of this
Section 6.06 or Section 9.06 shall become effective upon acceptance by the
successor securities administrator of appointment as provided in Section 6.07
hereof.
(l) If
the
Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer are the same Person, any
removal of the Master Servicer pursuant to an Event of Default shall also result
in the removal of the Securities Administrator and require the appointment
of a
successor pursuant to this Section and Section 6.07.
(m) The
Securities Administrator shall cooperate with the Trustee and any successor
securities administrator in effecting the termination of the Securities
Administrator’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, providing to the Trustee
and successor securities administrator all documents and records in electronic
or other form reasonably requested by it to enable it to assume the Securities
Administrator’s functions hereunder and for the transfer to the Trustee or
successor Securities Administrator of all amounts in the Distribution Account
or
any other account or fund maintained by the Securities Administrator with
respect to the Trust Fund. Neither the Trustee nor the Master
Servicer, as applicable, nor any other successor, as applicable, shall be deemed
to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in
making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the
failure of the predecessor Securities Administrator to deliver, or any delay
in
delivering, cash, documents or records to it, (ii) the failure of the
predecessor Securities Administrator to cooperate as required by this Agreement,
(iii) the failure of the predecessor Securities Administrator to deliver
the related Mortgage Loan data as required by this Agreement or
(iv) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction
over the predecessor Securities Administrator. No successor
securities administrator shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason
of
any
116
failure
to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion
thereof caused by (i) the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver, or any
delay in delivering cash, documents or records to it related to such
distribution, or (ii) the failure of Trustee or the Master Servicer to
cooperate as required by this Agreement.

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

Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee,
co-trustee or custodian 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

Authenticating
Agents.
|
119
(a) The
Trustee may appoint one or more Authenticating Agents which shall be authorized
to act on behalf of the Trustee in authenticating Certificates. The
Securities Administrator is hereby appointed as initial Authenticating Agent,
and the Securities Administrator accepts such appointment. Wherever
reference is made in this Agreement to the authentication of Certificates by
the
Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be
deemed to include authentication on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating
Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee
by
an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent must be a
corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States
of
America or of any state, having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$15,000,000, authorized under such laws to do a trust business and subject
to
supervision or examination by federal or state authorities.
(b) Any
Person into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party,
or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency business of any Authenticating
Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent without the execution
or
filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent.
(c) Any
Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at least 30 days’ advance
written notice of resignation to the Trustee and the Depositor. The
Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by
giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and the
Depositor. Upon receiving a notice of resignation or upon such a
termination, or in case at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to
be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.10, the
Trustee may appoint a successor authenticating agent, shall give written notice
of such appointment to the Depositor and shall mail notice of such appointment
to all Holders of Certificates. Any successor authenticating agent
upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the
rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with
like effect as if originally named as Authenticating Agent. No
successor authenticating agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the
provisions of this Section 6.10. No Authenticating Agent shall
have responsibility or liability for any action taken by it as such at the
direction of the Trustee.

of the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator.

The
Trustee (in its individual capacity and in its representative capacity as
Trustee hereunder) and the Securities Administrator and their respective
directors, officers, employees and agents shall be entitled to indemnification
from the Trust Fund for any loss, liability or expense (including the reasonable
compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents or counsel),
incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on their part, arising out
of,
or in connection with, the acceptance or administration of the trusts created
hereunder or under the Purchase and Servicing Agreements, the Acknowledgements
or the Custodial Agreements or in connection with the performance of their
duties hereunder or thereunder including the costs and expenses of defending
themselves against any claim in connection with the exercise or performance

any of their powers or duties hereunder or thereunder, provided
that:

respect to any such claim, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as
applicable, shall have given the Depositor written notice thereof promptly
after
the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall have knowledge
thereof;
(ii) while
maintaining control over its own defense, the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, shall cooperate and consult fully with the
Depositor in preparing such defense; and
(iii) notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 6.11, the Trust Fund shall not be
liable for settlement of any such claim by the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, entered into without the prior consent of the
Depositor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
The
provisions of this Section 6.11 shall survive any termination of this
Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator or Custodian, as applicable, and shall be construed to include,
but not be limited to any loss, liability or expense under any environmental
law.

not
be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee
of
an express trust) which shall be paid by the Master Servicer pursuant to a
separate agreement between the Trustee, the related Custodian and the Master
Servicer. Any expenses incurred by the Trustee or any Custodian shall
be reimbursed in accordance with Section 6.11. Notwithstanding
any provision in this Agreement or any Custodial Agreement to the contrary,
the
parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) the Master Servicer shall only
be
obligated to pay to the Custodian the fee agreed to by the Custodian and the
Master Servicer in the separate fee agreement referred to above, and (ii) except
as may be expressly set forth therein with respect to the Master Servicer,
in no
event shall the Master Servicer have any responsibility or liability for the

If
an
Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (ix) or (xi) of this Section
shall occur with respect to the Master Servicer, then, in each and every case,
subject to applicable law, so long as any such Event of Default shall not have
been remedied within any period of time prescribed by this Section, the Trustee,
by notice in writing to the Master Servicer may, and, if so directed by
(a) Certificateholders evidencing more than 50% of the Class Principal Balance
of each Class of Certificates or (b) the Depositor, in the case of a failure

and the proceeds thereof. Subject to Section 6.01(c)(ii), if an Event
of Default described in clause (x) of this Section shall occur with respect
to
the Master Servicer, then, in each and every case, subject to applicable law,
so
long as any such Event of Default shall not have been remedied within any period
of time prescribed by this Section, the Trustee shall by notice in
writing to the Master Servicer terminate all of the respective rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder and in and to the Mortgage Loans
and the proceeds thereof. On or after the receipt by the Master
Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer,
and with respect to the Master Servicer only in its capacity as Master Servicer
under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise,
shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee; and the Trustee is hereby authorized
and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the defaulting Master
Servicer as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other
instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to
complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the affected Mortgage
Loans and related documents or otherwise. The defaulting Master
Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee and the Securities Administrator
in effecting the termination of the defaulting Master Servicer’s
responsibilities and rights hereunder as Master Servicer which includes, without
limitation, notifying the Servicers of the assignment of the master servicing
function and providing the Trustee or its designee all documents and records
in
electronic or other form reasonably requested by it to enable the Trustee or
its
designee to assume the defaulting Master Servicer’s functions hereunder and the
transfer to the Trustee for administration by it of all amounts which shall
at
the time be or should have been deposited by the defaulting Master Servicer
in
the Distribution Account, any related Custodial Account and any other account
or
fund maintained with respect to the Certificates or thereafter received with
respect to the affected Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer being
terminated shall bear all costs of the transfer of the master servicing to
the
successor master servicer, including but not limited to those of the Trustee
or
Securities Administrator reasonably allocable to specific employees and
overhead, legal fees and expenses, accounting and financial consulting
124
fees
and
expenses, and costs of amending the Agreement, if necessary. If such
costs are not paid by the terminated Master Servicer, the Trustee shall pay
such
costs from the Trust Fund.
Notwithstanding
the termination of its activities as Master Servicer, any terminated Master
Servicer shall continue to be entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement
to
the extent such reimbursement relates to the period prior to such Master
Servicer’s termination.
The
Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the
Responsible Officers of the Trustee and the Depositor of the occurrence and
continuance of an Event of Default. If any Event of Default shall
occur, the Trustee, upon a Responsible Officer of the Trustee becoming aware
of
the occurrence thereof, shall promptly notify each Rating Agency of the nature
and extent of such Event of Default. The Securities Administrator
shall immediately give written notice to the Master Servicer upon the failure
of
the Master Servicer to make Advances as required under this Agreement with
a
copy to the Trustee.
Upon
the
occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trustee shall provide the Depositor
in
writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor,
all
information reasonably requested by the Depositor in order to comply with its
reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to a successor
master servicer in the event the Trustee should succeed to the duties of the
Master Servicer as set forth herein.
In
order
to comply with applicable Form 8-K reporting requirements under Regulation
AB,
at least 15 calendar days prior to the effective date of such appointment,
(x)
the Trustee shall provide written notice to the Depositor of such successor
pursuant to this Section 6.14 and (y) such successor Master Servicer shall
provide to the Depositor in writing and in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Depositor, all information reasonably requested by the
Depositor in order to comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02
of
Form 8-K with respect to a replacement master servicer.
(b) On
and
after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination from the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, pursuant to
Section 6.14(a) or the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as
applicable, receives the resignation of the Master Servicer evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 9.06, the Trustee, unless another
master servicer shall have been appointed, shall be the successor in all
respects to the Master Servicer, in its capacity as such under this Agreement
and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall have all the
rights and powers and be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the Master
Servicer, hereunder, including the obligation to make Advances;
provided, however, that any failure to perform such duties or
responsibilities caused by the failure of the Master Servicer to provide
information required by this Agreement shall not be considered a default by
the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, hereunder. In
addition, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator, as applicable,
shall have any responsibility for any act or omission of the Master Servicer
prior to the issuance of any notice of termination. The Trustee shall
have no liability relating to the representations and warranties of the Master
Servicer set forth in Section 9.03. In the capacity as such
successor, the Trustee shall have the same limitations on liability herein
granted to the Master Servicer. As compensation for being the
successor master servicer, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive all
compensation payable to the Master Servicer
125
under
this Agreement. Any successor to the Master Servicer hereunder also
may assume the obligations of the Securities Administrator hereunder as
successor in such capacity shall be entitled to the compensation payable to
the
Securities Administrator pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof from and after the
date
of such assumption.
(c) Notwithstanding
the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to continue to so act,
or
shall, if it is unable to so act, petition a court of competent jurisdiction
to
appoint, or appoint on its own behalf any established housing and home finance
institution servicer, master servicer, servicing or mortgage servicing
institution having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 and meeting such
other standards for a successor master servicer, as are set forth in this
Agreement, as the successor to such Master Servicer in the assumption of all
of
the respective responsibilities, duties or liabilities of a master servicer,
like the Master Servicer. Any entity designated by the Trustee, may
be an Affiliate of the Trustee; provided, however, that,
unless such Affiliate meets the net worth requirements and other standards
set
forth herein for a successor master servicer, the Trustee, in its individual
capacity shall agree, at the time of such designation, to be and remain liable
to the Trust Fund for such Affiliate’s actions and omissions in performing its
duties hereunder. In connection with such appointment and assumption,
the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor
out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree;
provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in
excess of that permitted to the Master Servicer hereunder. The
Trustee and such successor shall take such actions, consistent with this
Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession and may
make
other arrangements with respect to the master servicing to be conducted
hereunder which are not inconsistent herewith. The Master Servicer
shall cooperate with the Trustee and any successor master servicer in effecting
the termination of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder
including, without limitation, notifying the Servicers of the assignment of
the
master servicing functions and providing the Trustee and successor master
servicer all documents and records in electronic or other form reasonably
requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s functions hereunder
and the transfer to the Trustee or such successor all amounts which shall at
the
time be or should have been deposited by the Master Servicer in the Distribution
Account, any Custodial Account, or any other account or fund maintained with
respect to the Certificates or thereafter be received with respect to the
Mortgage Loans. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator,
as applicable, nor any other successor, as applicable, shall be deemed to be
in
default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making,
any
distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of
the Master Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash, documents
or
records to it, (ii) the failure of the Master Servicer to cooperate as
required by this Agreement, (iii) the failure of the Master Servicer to
deliver the related Mortgage Loan data as required by this Agreement or
(iv) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction
over the Master Servicer. No successor master servicer shall be
deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any
delay
in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by
(i) the failure of the Securities Administrator to deliver, or any delay in
delivering cash, documents or records to it related to such distribution, or
(ii) the failure of Trustee or the Securities Administrator to cooperate as
required by this Agreement.

or
by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the interests,
and
enforce the rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders (including the

proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and debt in connection
therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement,
no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy,

remedy, and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair
any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of
Default.

obligations hereunder, except that a default in the making of any required
deposit to the Distribution Account that would result in a failure of the
Securities Administrator or the Paying Agent to make any required payment of
principal of or interest on the Certificates may only be waived with the consent
of 100% of the affected Certificateholders. Upon any such waiver of a
past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default
arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of
this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent
expressly so waived.
|
Section
6.17.
|
Notification
to Holders.

Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing on the Certificate
Register. The Trustee shall also, within 45 days after the occurrence
of any Event of Default known to the Trustee, give written notice thereof to
the
Securities Administrator and the Certificateholders, unless such Event of
Default shall have been cured or waived prior to the issuance of such notice
and

remedy, or to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this
Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) the conducting or defending
of any administrative action or litigation hereunder or in relation hereto
and
(ii) the terminating of the Master Servicer or any successor master
servicer from its rights and duties as
127
master
servicer hereunder) at the request, order or direction of any of the
Certificateholders, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the
Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the cost,
expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; and,
provided further, that, subject to the provisions of Section 8.01,
the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if
the
Trustee, in accordance with an Opinion of Counsel, determines that the action
or
proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good
faith
determines that the action or proceeding so directed would involve it in
personal liability for which it is not indemnified to its
satisfaction.

pursuant to instructions given by the Depositor, and the Securities
Administrator shall file federal tax returns, all in accordance with Article

hereof. If the Securities Administrator is notified in writing that a
state tax return or other return is required, then, at the sole expense of
the
Trust Fund, the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file such state
income tax returns and such other returns as may be required by applicable
law
relating to the Trust Fund, and, if required by state law, shall file any other
documents to the extent required by applicable state tax law (to the extent

may reasonably request in writing, and shall forward to each Certificateholder
such forms and furnish such information within the control of the Securities
Administrator as are required by the Code and the REMIC Provisions to be
furnished to them, and will prepare and forward to Certificateholders
Form 1099 (supplemental tax information) (or otherwise furnish information
within the control of the Securities Administrator) to the extent required
by
applicable law. The Master Servicer will indemnify the Securities
Administrator and the Trustee for any liability of or assessment against the
Securities Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, resulting from any
error
in any of such tax or information returns directly resulting from errors in
the
information provided by such Master Servicer except to the extent that such
information was provided in reasonable reliance upon information from any
Servicer.
(b) The
Securities Administrator shall prepare and file with the Internal Revenue
Service (“IRS”), on behalf of the Trust Fund and each REMIC created hereunder,
an application for an employer identification number on IRS Form SS-4 or by
any other acceptable method. The Securities Administrator shall also
file a Form 8811 as required. The Securities Administrator, upon

shall upon request promptly forward a copy of such notice to the Trustee and
the
128
Depositor. The
Securities Administrator shall furnish any other information that is required
by
the Code and regulations thereunder to be made available to the
Certificateholders. The Master Servicer agrees that it shall cause
each Servicer to, provide the Securities Administrator with such information
related to the Mortgage Loans in the possession of such Servicer, as may
reasonably be required for the Securities Administrator to prepare such
reports.

Certain
Matters Regarding any Custodian Appointed
Hereunder.

(a) The
Custodian shall maintain continuous custody of all items constituting the
Trustee Mortgage Files in secure facilities in accordance with customary
standards for such custody and shall reflect in its records the interest of
the
Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders therein. Each
Mortgage Note (and Assignment of Mortgage) shall be maintained in fire resistant
facilities.
(b) With
respect to the documents constituting each Trustee Mortgage File relating to
a
Mortgage Loan listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Custodian shall (i)
act
exclusively as the Custodian for the Trustee, (ii) hold all documents
constituting such Trustee Mortgage File received by it for the exclusive use
and
benefit of the Trust, and (iii) make disposition thereof only in accordance
with
the terms of this Agreement.
(c) In
the
event that (i) the Trustee, a Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Master
Servicer or the Custodian shall be served by a third party with any type of
levy, attachment, writ or court order with respect to any Trustee Mortgage
File
or any document included within a Trustee Mortgage File or (ii) a third party
shall institute any court proceeding by which any Trustee Mortgage File or
a
document included within a Trustee Mortgage File shall be required to be
delivered otherwise than in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement,
the party receiving such service shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered
to the other parties to this Agreement copies of all court papers, orders,
documents and other materials concerning such proceedings. The
Custodian shall, to the extent permitted by law, continue to hold and maintain
all the Trustee Mortgage Files that are the subject of such proceedings pending
a final, nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction permitting
or
directing disposition thereof. Upon final determination of such
court, the Custodian shall dispose of such Trustee Mortgage File or any document
included within such Trustee Mortgage File as directed by the Trustee which
shall give a direction consistent with such determination. Expenses
and fees (including reasonable attorney’s fees) of the Custodian incurred as a
result of such proceedings shall be borne by the Trust Fund.
(d) The
Custodian shall provide access to the Mortgage Loan Documents in its possession
regarding the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property and the servicing thereof
to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the related
Servicer, the Certificateholders, the FDIC, and the supervisory agents and
examiners of the FDIC, such access being afforded only upon reasonable prior
written request and during normal business hours at the office of the
Custodian. The Custodian shall allow representatives of the above
entities to photocopy any of the records and documentation and shall provide
equipment for that purpose at the expense of the person requesting such
access.
129
(e) The
Custodian shall have no duties or responsibilities except those that are
specifically set forth herein, or as subsequently agreed in writing by the
parties hereto, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into
this
Agreement against the Custodian.
(f) The
Custodian shall have no responsibility nor duty with respect to any Trustee
Mortgage Files while not in its possession.
(g) The
Custodian shall be under no obligation to make any investigation into the facts
or matters stated in any resolution, exhibit, request, representation, opinion,
certificate, statement, acknowledgement, consent, order or document in the
Trustee Mortgage File.
(h) If
the
Trustee and a Custodian are the same Person, any removal or resignation of
that
Person in either capacity shall also result in the removal of the Person in
its
other capacity.
(i) In
the
event that the Custodian fails to produce a Mortgage Note, Assignment of
Mortgage or any other document related to a Mortgage Loan that was in its
possession pursuant to Section 2.01 within five (5) Business Days after required
or requested by the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the related
Servicer, and provided, that (i) Custodian previously delivered to the Trustee
an Initial Certification or a Final Certification with respect to such document;
(ii) such document is not outstanding pursuant to a Request for Release; and
(iii) such document was held by the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee (a
“Custodial Delivery Failure”), then the Custodian shall (a) with
respect to any missing Mortgage Note, promptly deliver to the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Servicer upon request, a Lost Note Affidavit
in the form of Exhibit R annexed hereto and (b) with respect to any missing
document related to such Mortgage Loan including but not limited to, a missing
Mortgage Note, indemnify the Depositor, Trustee, the Master Servicer or the
Servicer in accordance with the succeeding paragraph of this Section
6.21(i).
The
Custodian appointed hereunder agrees to indemnify and hold the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Servicer and their respective employees,
officers, directors and agents harmless against any and all direct liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements, including reasonable attorney’s fees, that may be
imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against it or them in any way relating
to
or arising out of such Custodial Delivery Failure. The foregoing
indemnification shall survive any termination or assignment of this Agreement
or
the removal or resignation of the Custodian hereunder.
For
the
avoidance of doubt, if the entity serving as Trustee is also serving as a
Custodian, such entity in its capacity as Custodian shall have the same rights,
protections and indemnities as are afforded to the Trustee hereunder provided
that such Custodian shall not be indemnified by the Trust Fund for any
liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost,
expense or disbursement imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the
Custodian because of the breach by the Custodian of its obligations hereunder,
which breach was caused by negligence, lack of good faith or willful misconduct
on the part of the Custodian or any of its directors, officers, agents or
employees.

Section
6.22.

WHFIT
Regulation Compliance.
|
(a) The
Securities Administrator shall treat the ES Trust as a WHMT. The
Securities Administrator will report to the Holders of the Certificates (other
than the Class A-R Certificates), as the beneficial owners of the ES Trust,
as
required under the WHFIT Regulations to the extent such information as is
reasonably necessary to enable Securities Administrator to do so is provided
to
Securities Administrator on a timely basis. The Securities
Administrator will not be liable for any tax reporting penalties that may arise
under the WHFIT Regulations as a result of the incorrect determination of the
status of the ES Trust as a WHFIT or failing to identify whether or not the
ES
Trust is a WHFIT.
(b) The
Securities Administrator, in its discretion, will report required WHFIT
information to the beneficial owner of the ES Trust using either the cash or
accrual method and will specify the method used by it, except to the extent
the
WHFIT Regulations specifically require a different method. The
Securities Administrator will be under no obligation to determine whether any
Certificateholder uses the cash or accrual method. The Securities
Administrator will make available WHFIT information to Certificateholders on
its
website. In addition, except for posting such information on its
website, the Securities Administrator will not be responsible or liable for
providing subsequently amended, revised or updated information to any
Certificateholder, unless requested by that Certificateholder.
(c) The
Securities Administrator shall not be liable for failure to meet the reporting
requirements of the WHFIT Regulations nor for any penalties thereunder if such
failure is due to: (i) the lack of reasonably necessary information being
provided to Securities Administrator, (ii) incomplete, inaccurate or untimely
information being provided to Securities Administrator, or (iii) the inability
of the Securities Administrator, after good faith efforts, to alter its existing
information reporting systems to capture information necessary to fully comply
with the WHFIT Regulations for the 2007 calendar year. Absent receipt
of information from the owner of a Class of Certificates (other than the Class
A-R Certificates) representing, in whole or in part, beneficial ownership of
an
interest in a WHFIT, or the Depositor regarding any sale of securities,
including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale, the Securities
Administrator will assume there is no secondary market trading of WHFIT
interests.
(d) To
the
extent required by the WHFIT Regulations, the Securities Administrator will
publish on an appropriate website or otherwise make available the CUSIPs for
the
certificates that represent ownership of a WHFIT. The Securities
Administrator will use its best efforts to keep the information accurate and
updated to the extent CUSIPs have been received. The Securities
Administrator will not be liable for investor reporting delays that result
from
the receipt of inaccurate or untimely CUSIP information.
(e) The
Securities Administrator shall be entitled to additional reasonable compensation
for changes in reporting required in respect of the WHFIT Regulations that
arise
as a result of a change in the WHFIT Regulations or a change in interpretation
of the WHFIT Regulations by the IRS or the Depositor or their counsel, if such
change requires, in the Securities Administrator’s reasonable discretion, a
material increase in its reporting obligations in respect of the ES
Trust.

TERMINATION
OF THE TRUST FUND
|

(a) The
respective obligations and responsibilities of the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator and the Master Servicer created hereby (other than the obligation
of the Securities Administrator to make payments to the Certificateholders
as
set forth in Section 7.02), shall terminate on the earliest of (i) the

any
Distribution Date occurring on or after the Initial Optional Purchase Date
related to the Aggregate Group I Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer has the
option to cause the Trust Fund to adopt a plan of complete liquidation of the
Aggregate Group I Mortgage Loans pursuant to Sections 7.02 and 7.03 hereof
to sell all of the property related thereto. If the Master Servicer
elects to exercise such option, it shall no later than 30 days prior to the
Distribution Date selected for purchase of the Aggregate Group I Mortgage Loans
and all other assets of the Trust Fund related to the Aggregate Group I
Certificates (with respect to the Aggregate Group I Mortgage Loans, the
“Aggregate Group I Purchase Date”) deliver written notice to the Trustee and the

after the Initial Optional Purchase Date related to the Aggregate Group II
Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer has the option to cause the Trust Fund
to
adopt a plan of complete liquidation of the Aggregate Group II Mortgage Loans
pursuant to Sections 7.02 and 7.03 hereof to sell all of the property
related thereto. If the Master Servicer elects to exercise such
option, it shall no later than 30 days prior to the Distribution Date selected
for purchase of the Aggregate Group II Mortgage Loans and all other assets
of
the Trust Fund related to the Aggregate Group II Certificates (with respect
to
the Aggregate Group II Mortgage Loans, the “Aggregate Group II Purchase Date”)
deliver written notice to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator and
either (a) deposit in the Distribution Account the Redemption Price or
(b) state in such notice that the Redemption Price shall be deposited in
the Distribution Account not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on
the
132
Aggregate
Group II Purchase Date. Upon exercise of such option, the property of
the Trust Fund related to the Aggregate Group II Mortgage Loans shall be sold
to
the Master Servicer at a price equal to the Redemption Price.
(d) The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, each Servicer, the Securities Administrator,
the
Trustee and the Custodian shall be reimbursed from the Redemption Price for
any
Advances, Servicer Advances, accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees or other amounts
with respect to the Mortgage Loans and any related assets being purchased
pursuant to Section 7.01(c) above that are reimbursable to such parties (and
such other amounts which, if not related to the Mortgage Loans and other assets
of the Trust Fund not being purchased, that are then due and owing to any such
Person) under this Agreement and the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement
or
the related Custodial Agreement.

7.02.

Procedure
Upon Termination of Trust Fund.
|
(a) Notice
of
any termination pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.01, specifying the
Distribution Date upon which the final distribution shall be made or the
purchase of the Trust’s assets related to the Aggregate Group I Certificates or
the Aggregate Group II Certificates, as applicable, will occur, shall be given
promptly by the Securities Administrator by first class mail to
Certificateholders mailed in the case of a redemption of the affected
Certificates, no later than (i) the first day of the month in which the
Distribution Date selected for redemption of the affected Certificates shall
occur or (ii) upon (x) the sale of all of the property of the Trust Fund
related to that Aggregate Loan Group by the Securities Administrator or in
the
case of a sale of assets of the Trust Fund related to that Aggregate Loan Group,
or (y) upon the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage
Loan or REO Property in the Trust Fund related to that Aggregate Loan
Group. Such notice shall specify (A) the related Initial
Optional Purchase Date, Distribution Date upon which final distribution on
the
affected Certificates of all amounts required to be distributed to
Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.02 will be made upon presentation
and surrender of such Certificates at the Certificate Registrar’s Corporate
Trust Office, and (B) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such
Distribution Date is not applicable, distribution being made only upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of the
Securities Administrator therein specified. The Securities
Administrator shall give such notice to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and
the
Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to Holders of the
Certificates. Upon any such termination, the duties of the
Certificate Registrar with respect to the affected Certificates shall terminate
and the Securities Administrator shall terminate and, if such termination is
the
second termination pursuant to Section 7.01, the Distribution Account and any
other account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates, subject
to
the Securities Administrator’s obligation hereunder to hold all amounts payable
to Certificateholders in trust without interest pending such
payment.
(b) In
the
event that all of the Holders do not surrender their Certificates for
cancellation within three months after the time specified in the above-mentioned
written notice, the Securities Administrator shall give a second written notice
to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificates
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator
may take appropriate steps to
133
contact
the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of such Certificates,
and
the cost thereof shall be paid out of the amounts distributable to such
Holders. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator
shall deliver any remaining funds being held by it to the Holder of the Class
A-R Certificates and the Holder of the Class A-R Certificates shall, subject
to
applicable state law relating to escheatment, hold all amounts distributable
to
such Holders for the benefit of such Holders. No interest shall
accrue on any amount held by the Securities Administrator and not distributed
to
a Certificateholder due to such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its
Certificate(s) for payment of the final distribution thereon in accordance
with
this Section. The foregoing provisions are intended to distribute to
each Class of Certificates any accrued and unpaid interest and/or principal
to
which they are entitled based on their Pass-Through Rates and Class Principal
Balances or Notional Amounts set forth in the Preliminary Statement upon
liquidation of the Trust Fund.
(c) Any
reasonable expenses incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection
with
any purchase or termination or liquidation of the Trust Fund shall be reimbursed
from proceeds received from the liquidation of the Trust Fund.

7.03.

Additional
Trust Fund Termination
Requirements.
|
(a) Any
termination of the Trust Fund shall be effected in accordance with the following
additional requirements, unless the Master Servicer, exercising its option
to
purchase all of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 7.01(c), delivers to
the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, an Opinion of Counsel (at the
Master Servicer’s expense), addressed to the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator to the effect that the failure of the Trust Fund to comply with
the requirements of this Section 7.03 will not result in an Adverse REMIC
Event:
(i) Within
89
days prior to the time of the making of the final payment on the Certificates,
upon notification by the Master Servicer that it intends to exercise its option
to cause the termination of the Trust Fund, the Securities Administrator on
behalf of the Trustee shall adopt a plan of complete liquidation of the Trust
Fund on behalf of each REMIC, meeting the requirements of a qualified
liquidation under the REMIC Provisions;
(ii) Any
sale
of the assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 7.01 shall be a sale
for cash and shall occur at or after the time of adoption of such a plan of
complete liquidation and prior to the time of making of the final payment on
the
Certificates;
(iii) On
the
date specified for final payment of the Certificates, the Securities
Administrator shall make final distributions of principal and interest on the
Certificates in accordance with Section 5.02 and, after payment of, or
provision for any outstanding expenses, distribute or credit, or cause to be
distributed or credited, to the Holders of the Residual Certificates all cash
on
hand after such final payment (other than cash retained to meet claims), and
the
Trust Fund (and each REMIC) shall terminate at that time; and
(iv) In
no
event may the final payment on the Certificates or the final distribution or
credit to the Holders of the Residual Certificates be made after the 89th day
from the date on which the plan of complete liquidation is adopted.
134
(b) By
its
acceptance of a Residual Certificate, each Holder thereof hereby agrees to
accept the plan of complete liquidation adopted by the Securities Administrator
on behalf of the Trustee under this Section and to take such other action in
connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator or any Servicer.

in any court for a partition or winding up of this Trust Fund, nor otherwise
affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any
of
them. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no

action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision
hereof.
(b) No
Certificateholder, solely by virtue of its status as Certificateholder, shall
have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Agreement

evidencing not less than 25% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional
Amount (or Percentage Interest) of Certificates of each Class affected thereby
shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action,
suit
or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to
the
Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the cost, expenses
and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for sixty
days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall
have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding
and
no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given such Trustee
during such sixty-day period by such Certificateholders; it being understood
and
intended, and being expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every
other Certificateholder, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, that
no
one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever
by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb
or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such Certificates, or
to
obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder,
or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein
provided and for the benefit of all Certificateholders. For the
protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every
Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be
given either at law or in equity.

Access
to List of Holders.
|
(a) If
the
Trustee is not acting as Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Registrar will
furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee, within fifteen days after
receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a request by the Trustee in writing,
a
list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and
addresses of the Certificateholders of each Class as of the most recent Record
Date.
(b) If
three
or more Holders or Certificate Owners (hereinafter referred to as “Applicants”)
apply in writing to the Certificate Registrar, and such application states
that
the Applicants desire to communicate with other Holders with respect to their
rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates and is accompanied by
a
copy of the communication which such Applicants propose to transmit, then the
Certificate Registrar shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of
such
application, afford such Applicants reasonable access during the normal business
hours of the Certificate Registrar to the most recent list of Certificateholders
held by the Certificate Registrar or shall, as an alternative, send, at the
Applicants’ expense, the written communication proffered by the Applicants to
all Certificateholders at their addresses as they appear in the Certificate
Register.
(c) Every
Holder or Certificate Owner, if the Holder is a Clearing Agency, by receiving
and holding a Certificate, agrees with the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the
Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee that none
of
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the
Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of
the
disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the
Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such
information was derived.

Acts
of Holders of Certificates.
|
(a) Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by Holders or Certificate
Owners, if the Holder is a Clearing Agency, may be embodied in and evidenced
by
one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders
in
person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise
expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument
or
instruments are delivered to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator and,
where expressly required herein, to the Master Servicer. Such
instrument or instruments (as the action embodies therein and evidenced thereby)
are herein sometimes referred to as an “Act” of the Holders signing such
instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument
or of a writing appointing any such agents shall be sufficient for any purpose
of this Agreement and conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator and the Master Servicer, if made in the manner provided in this
Section. Each of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the
Master Servicer shall promptly notify the others of receipt of any such
instrument by it, and shall promptly forward a copy of such instrument to the
others.
(b) The
fact
and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may
be
proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by the certificate
of
any
136
notary
public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments or deeds,
certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged
to him the execution thereof. Whenever such execution is by an
officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership on behalf of such
corporation or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute
sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution
of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the individual executing
the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems
sufficient.
(c) The
ownership of Certificates (whether or not such Certificates shall be overdue
and
notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by
anyone other than the Trustee) shall be proved by the Certificate Register,
and
none of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or the
Depositor shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
(d) Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action by the Holder of any Certificate shall bind every future Holder of the
same Certificate and the Holder of every Certificate issued upon the
registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof,
in
respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or
the
Master Servicer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action
is
made upon such Certificate.

THE
MASTER SERVICER

|
Duties
of the Master Servicer; Enforcement of Servicers’ and Master Servicer’s
Obligations.
|
(a) The
Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor and the
Certificateholders shall monitor the performance of the Servicers under the
Purchase and Servicing Agreements, and shall use its reasonable good faith
efforts to cause the Servicers duly and punctually to perform all of their
respective duties and obligations thereunder. Upon the occurrence of
a default of which a Responsible Officer of the Master Servicer has actual
knowledge under a Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall
promptly notify the Trustee thereof, and shall specify in such notice the
action, if any, the Master Servicer is taking in respect of such
default. So long as any such default shall be continuing, the Master
Servicer may, and shall if it determines such action to be in the best interests
of Certificateholders, (i) terminate all of the rights and powers of such
Servicer pursuant to the applicable provisions of the related Purchase and
Servicing Agreement; (ii) exercise any rights it may have to enforce the
related Purchase and Servicing Agreement against such Servicer; and/or
(iii) waive any such default under the related Purchase and Servicing
Agreement or take any other action with respect to such default as is permitted
thereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, with respect to any Additional Collateral Mortgage Loan, the Master
Servicer will have no duty or obligation to supervise, monitor or oversee the
activities of the related Servicer under any Purchase and Servicing Agreement
with respect to any Additional Collateral or under any agreement relating to
the
pledge of, or the perfection of a pledge or
137
security
interest in, any Additional Collateral except upon the occurrence of the
following events (i) in the case of a final liquidation of any Mortgaged
Property secured by Additional Collateral, the Master Servicer shall enforce
the
obligation of the Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement to liquidate
such Additional Collateral as required by such Servicing Agreement, and (ii)
if
the Master Servicer assumes the obligations of such Servicer as successor
Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01,
as
successor Servicer, it shall be bound to service and administer the Additional
Collateral in accordance with the provisions of such Servicing
Agreement.
(b) Upon
any
termination by the Master Servicer of a Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant to
its Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the rights and powers of such Servicer
with respect to the related Mortgage Loans shall vest in the Master Servicer
and
the Master Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to such Servicer
in
its capacity as Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loans under the related
Purchase and Servicing Agreement, unless or until the Master Servicer shall
have
appointed (and the Trustee shall have acknowledged), with the consent of the
Rating Agencies and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the related
Purchase and Servicing Agreement, a new Xxxxxx Xxx- or FHLMC-approved Person
to
serve as successor to the Servicer; provided, however, that it
is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that there will be a period
of
transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can
be
fully transferred to a successor servicer (including the Master
Servicer). With such letter from the Rating Agencies, the Master
Servicer may elect to continue to serve as successor servicer under the Purchase
and Servicing Agreement. Upon appointment of a successor servicer, as
authorized under this Section 9.01(b), unless the successor servicer shall
have assumed the obligations of the terminated Servicer under such Purchase
and
Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer and such successor servicer shall
enter
into a servicing agreement in a form substantially similar to the affected
Purchase and Servicing Agreement, and the Trustee shall acknowledge such
servicing agreement. In connection with any such appointment, the
Master Servicer may make such arrangements for the compensation of such
successor servicer as it and such successor servicer shall agree, but in no
event shall such compensation of any successor servicer (including the Master
Servicer) be in excess of that payable to the Servicer under the affected
Purchase and Servicing Agreement.
The
Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement (including the
termination of a Servicer, the appointment of a successor servicer or the
transfer and assumption of the servicing by the Master Servicer) at its own
expense and shall be reimbursed therefor initially (i) by the terminated
Servicer, (ii) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement only
to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect
of
the related Mortgage Loans, (iii) from a specific recovery of costs,
expenses or attorney’s fees against the party against whom such enforcement is
directed, or (iv) to the extent that such amounts described in (i)-(iii)
above are insufficient to reimburse the Master Servicer for such costs of
enforcement, from the Trust Fund, as provided in Section 9.04.
If
the

responsibilities thereunder. To the extent that the costs and
expenses of the Trustee described in this Section are not timely reimbursed

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

above from the Distribution Account, provided, however, the

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

if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could result in an Adverse REMIC
Event unless the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master 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
any 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, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or their respective
designees, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an
Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any REMIC, and no such Person
shall
take any such action or cause any REMIC to take any such action as to which
the
Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer has advised it
in
writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur; provided,
however, that if no Adverse REMIC Event would occur but such action could
result in the imposition of additional taxes on the Residual Certificateholders,
no such Person shall take any such action, or cause any REMIC to take any such
action without the written consent of the Residual
Certificateholders.
(g) Each
Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed
on
the related REMIC by federal or state governmental authorities. To
the extent that such taxes are not paid by a Residual Certificateholder, the
Paying Agent shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of current or future
amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Residual Certificate in
any
such REMIC or, if no such amounts are available, (A) out of other amounts held
in the Distribution Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to
holders of regular interests in any such REMIC or (B) to the extent that any
such taxes are imposed on the REMIC as a result of the breach of any
representation, warranty or covenant of the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator or any Servicer, then the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator, or that Servicer, as applicable, shall pay when due any and
all
such taxes.
(h) The
Securities Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain 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.

the Securities Administrator nor the Master Servicer shall enter into any
arrangement by which any REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for
services.

(k) [reserved].
(l) The
Class A-R Holder shall act as “tax matters person” with respect to each
REMIC created hereunder and the Securities Administrator shall act as agent
for
the Class A-R Holder in such roles, unless and until another party is so
designated by the Class A-R Holder.
(m) [reserved].
(n) [reserved].
(o) It
is
intended that the ES Trust be considered a “grantor trust” under the
Code. Based upon such characterization, within a reasonable period of
time after the end of each calendar year but not later than the latest date
permitted by law, the Securities Administrator shall mail to each person who
so
requests in writing and who at anytime during such calendar year shall have
been
a Certificateholder the necessary information under applicable law for
preparation of such Holder’s federal and state income tax returns unless
substantially similar information has been previously provided to such
Certificateholder.
For
federal income tax purposes, the grantor trust created hereunder shall have
a
calendar year taxable year. The Securities Administrator shall
prepare or cause to be prepared and shall file or cause to be filed with the
Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax authorities, income
tax information returns for each taxable year with respect to the grantor
trust.

Neither
the Depositor, the Master 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 each REMIC pursuant to Article VII 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, nor sell or dispose of

substitution or acceptance) that such disposition, acquisition, substitution,
or
acceptance will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event, (b) affect the
distribution of interest or principal on the Certificates or (c) result in
the encumbrance of the assets transferred or assigned to the Trust Fund (except
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement).
The
Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall not consent to any
modification of any such Mortgage Loan for which the consent of the Master
Servicer is required under the applicable Purchase and Servicing Agreement
under
which such Mortgage Loan is serviced, that would (i) increase the interest
rate
in respect of such Mortgage, defer for a period in excess of six months or
forgive the payment of any principal or interest, reduce the outstanding
principal amount (except for actual payments of principal), increase the
Servicing Fee on such Mortgage Loan or extend the final maturity date on such
Mortgage Loan, or (ii) result in a substitution or release of collateral or
in
the provision of additional collateral for the Mortgage Loan, unless the
applicable Mortgage Loan is in default or default is reasonably foreseeable
in
respect of such Mortgage Loan, or the Master Servicer has received an Opinion
of
149
Counsel
(at the expense of the party requesting consent for such modification) that
such
modification will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.

Section

|
Indemnification
with Respect to Prohibited Transactions or Loss of REMIC
Status.
|
Upon
the
occurrence of an Adverse REMIC Event due to the negligent performance by the
Securities Administrator of its duties and obligations set forth herein, the
Securities Administrator shall indemnify the Certificateholders of the related
Residual Certificate against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities
or
expenses (“Losses”) resulting from such negligence; provided,
however, that the Securities Administrator shall not be liable for any such
Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Depositor, the Trustee
or
the Holder of the Residual Certificate, nor for any such Losses resulting from
misinformation provided by any of the foregoing parties on which the Securities
Administrator has relied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in
no event shall the Securities Administrator 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 or under any Purchase and Servicing Agreements or under any
Acknowledgement, (2) for any Losses other than arising out of malfeasance,
willful misconduct or negligent performance by the Service Administrator of
its
duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any special or
consequential damages to Certificateholders of the related Residual Certificate
(in addition to payment of principal and interest on the
Certificates).

Section
10.04.
|
REO
Property.
|
(a) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Master Servicer, acting on behalf
of
the Trustee hereunder, shall not, except to the extent provided in the
applicable Purchase and Servicing Agreement, knowingly permit any Servicer
to,
rent, lease, or otherwise earn income on behalf of any REMIC with respect to
any
REO Property which might cause an Adverse REMIC Event unless the applicable
Servicer has provided to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator an Opinion
of Counsel concluding that, under the REMIC Provisions, such action would not
adversely affect the status of any REMIC as a REMIC and any income generated
for
any REMIC by the REO Property would not result in an Adverse REMIC
Event.
(b) The
Depositor shall cause the applicable Servicer (to the extent provided in its
Purchase and Servicing Agreement) to make reasonable efforts to sell any REO
Property for its fair market value. In any event, however, the
Depositor shall, or shall cause the applicable Servicer (to the extent provided
in its Purchase and Servicing Agreement) to, dispose of any REO Property within
three years of its acquisition by the Trust Fund unless the Depositor or the
applicable Servicer (on behalf of the Trust Fund) 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,
the REMIC may hold REO Property for a longer period without causing an Adverse
REMIC Event. If such an extension has been received, then the
Depositor, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall, or shall cause
the
applicable Servicer to, continue to attempt to sell the REO Property for its
fair market value for such period longer than three years as such extension
permits (the “Extended Period”). If such
150
an
extension has not been received and the Depositor or the applicable Servicer,
acting on behalf of the Trust Fund hereunder, is unable to sell the REO Property
within 33 months after its acquisition by the Trust Fund or if such an
extension, has been received and the Depositor or the applicable Servicer is
unable to sell the REO Property within the period ending three months before
the
close of the Extended Period, the Depositor shall cause the applicable Servicer,
before the end of the three year period or the Extended Period, as applicable,
to (i) purchase such REO Property at a price equal to the REO Property’s
fair market value or (ii) auction the REO Property to the highest bidder
(which may be the applicable Servicer) in an auction reasonably designed to
produce a fair price prior to the expiration of the three-year period or the
Extended Period, as the case may be.

Section
10.05.
|
Fidelity.
|
The
Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a blanket fidelity
bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, affording coverage with
respect to all directors, officers, employees and other Persons acting on such
Master Servicer’s behalf, and covering errors and omissions in the performance
of the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder. The errors and
omissions insurance policy and the fidelity bond shall be in such form and
amount generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicers and
trustees.

Amendment.
|
(a) This
Agreement (other than the provisions of Article XII hereof) may be amended
from
time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator, and the Trustee, without notice to or the consent of any of
the
Holders, (i) to cure any ambiguity or mistake, (ii) to cause the
provisions herein to conform to or be consistent with or in furtherance of

provisions with respect to matters or questions
151
arising
under this Agreement or (iv) to add, delete, or amend any provisions to the
extent necessary or desirable to comply with any requirements imposed by the
Code and the REMIC Provisions. No such amendment effected pursuant to
the preceding sentence shall, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, result
in
an Adverse REMIC Event, nor shall such amendment effected pursuant to
clause (iii) of such sentence adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of any Holder. Prior to entering into any amendment without
the consent of Holders pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee shall be provided
with an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting such
amendment) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under this
Section. Any such amendment shall be deemed not to adversely affect
in any material respect any Holder, if the Trustee receives written confirmation

to
reduce the then current rating assigned to the Certificates.
(b) This

from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of not less

of
Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement
or
of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders; provided,
however, that no such amendment shall be made unless the Trustee receives
an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting the change, that
such change will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event; and provided further, that
no
such amendment may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing
of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed
on
any Certificate, without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate or (ii)
reduce the aforesaid percentages of Class Principal Balance or Class Notional
Amount (or Percentage Interest) of Certificates of each Class, the Holders
of
which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of
the
Holders of 100% of the Class Principal Balance or Class Notional Amount (or
Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected
thereby. For purposes of this paragraph, references to “Holder” or
“Holders” shall be deemed to include, in the case of any Class of Book-Entry
Certificates, the related Certificate Owners.
(c) In
the
event the parties to this Agreement desire to further clarify or amend any
provision of Article XII hereof, this Agreement shall be amended to reflect
the
new agreement between the parties covering matters in Article XII, which
amendment shall not require any Opinion of Counsel or Rating Agency
confirmations or the consent of any Certificateholder.
(d) Promptly
after the execution of any such amendment, the Securities Administrator shall
furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Holder,
the Depositor and the Rating Agencies.
(e) It
shall
not be necessary for the consent of Holders under this Section 11.03 to
approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be
sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The
manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Holders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations
as
the Trustee may prescribe.

Filing
Obligations.
|
(a) The
Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Custodian
shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor in connection with the
satisfaction of the Depositor’s reporting requirements under the Exchange Act
with respect to the Trust Fund. In addition to the information
specified below, if so requested by the Depositor for the purpose of satisfying
its reporting obligation under the Exchange Act, the Master Servicer, the
Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Custodian shall (and the Master
Servicer shall cause each Servicer, to the extent required by the related
Servicing Agreement, to) provide the Depositor with (a) such information which
is available to such Person without unreasonable effort or expense and within
such timeframe as may be reasonably requested by the Depositor to comply with
the Depositor’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act and (b) to the
extent such Person is a party (and the Depositor is not a party) to any
agreement or amendment required to be filed, copies of such agreement or
amendment in XXXXX-compatible form. Each of the
156
Master
Servicer (and the Master Servicer shall cause any Servicer to notify promptly,
to the extent required by the related Servicing Agreement), the Securities
Administrator, the Custodian and the Trustee shall promptly notify the Depositor
and the Master Servicer (if the notifying party is not the Master Servicer),
but
in no event later than two (2) Business Days after its occurrence, of any
Reportable Event either (i) with respect to itself or any Affiliate of it or
(ii) with respect to any Reporting Party, to the extent that it has received
notice thereof.
(b) On
or
prior to January 30 of the first year in which the Securities Administrator
is
able to do so under applicable law, the Securities Administrator shall prepare
and file a Form 15 relating to the automatic suspension of reporting in respect
of the Trust under the Exchange Act.
(c) In
the
event that the Securities Administrator is unable to file timely with the
Commission all or any required portion of any Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K
required to be filed by this Agreement because required disclosure information
was either not delivered to it or delivered to it after the delivery deadlines
set forth in this Agreement or for any other reason, the Securities
Administrator will immediately notify the Depositor. In the case of
Form 10-D and Form 10-K, the parties to this Agreement will (and the Master
Servicer shall cause each Servicer to cooperate) prepare and file a Form 12b-25
and a Form 10-DA and Form 10-KA as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the
Exchange Act. In the case of Form 8-K, the Securities Administrator
will, upon receipt of all required Form 8-K Disclosure Information shall include
such disclosure information in the next Form 10-D unless directed by the
Depositor to file a Form 8-K with such Form 8-K Disclosure
Information. In the event that any previously filed Form 8-K, Form
10-D or Form 10-K needs to be amended, and such amendment includes any
Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure or any
Form
8-K Disclosure Information or an amendment to any such disclosure, the
Securities Administrator will notify the Depositor and each Servicer affected
by
such amendment (unless such amendment is solely for the purpose of restating
the
monthly statement referred to in Section 4.05 hereof) and such parties will
cooperate to prepare any necessary Form 8-KA, Form 10-DA or Form
10-KA. Any Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendment to a Form 8-K or a
Form 10-D shall be signed by a duly authorized representative of the Master
Servicer. Any amendment to a Form 10-K shall be signed by a senior
officer of the Master Servicer in charge of the master servicing
function. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the
performance by the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator of its
duties under this Article XII related to the timely preparation and filing
of a
Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendment to a Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K
is
contingent upon each such party performing its duties under this
Section. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Securities Administrator
shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of
or
with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file
any
such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to a Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form
10-K, where such failure results from the Securities Administrator’s inability
or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any
other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form
15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K, not
resulting from their own respective negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct.
(d) All
items
under this Article XII to be reviewed by the Depositor should be forwarded
electronically to xxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx. In
addition, for purposes of
157
this
Article XII, if the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer is required
to provide any information or documentation to such other party, for so long
as
Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association is both Securities Administrator and
Master Servicer, that delivery will be automatically deemed to have been
made.
(e) Each
of
Form 10-D and Form 10-K requires the registrant to indicate (by checking “yes”
or “no”) that it “(1) has filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter
period that the registrant was required to file such reports), and (2) has
been
subject to such filing requirements for the past 90 days.” The
Depositor shall notify the Securities Administration in writing, no later than
the fifth calendar day after the related Distribution Date with respect to
the
filing of a report on Form 10-D and no later than March 15th with respect
to
the filing of a report on Form 10-K, if the answer to the questions should
be
“no.” In the absence of such notification by the Depositor to the
Securities Administrator, the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to
assume that the answer to the questions on Form 10-D and Form 10-K should be
“yes”. The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to
rely on such representations in preparing, executing and/or filing any such
report.

the filing of such Form 10-D. In the absence of receipt of any

shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of

with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file
such

inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information
from any other party hereto (other than an Affiliate thereof) needed to prepare,
arrange for execution or file such Form 10-D, not resulting from their
respective negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

filed with the Commission with respect to the Trust Fund, or for execution
of a
certification pursuant to Rule 13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d) under the Exchange

hold each of them harmless from and against any losses, damages, penalties,
fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments, and
any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain arising out
of
or based upon:
(i) any
untrue statement of a material fact contained or alleged to be contained in
or
the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light
of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in (A) any
compliance certificate delivered by it, or by any Servicing Function Participant
engaged by it, pursuant to this Agreement, (B) any assessment or attestation
delivered by or on behalf of it, or by any Servicing Function Participant
engaged by it, pursuant to this Agreement, or (C) any Additional Form 10-D
Disclosure, Additional Form 10-K Disclosure or Form 8-K Disclosure Information
concerning the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer and provided
by
either of them;
(ii) any
failure by the Indemnifying Party to perform its obligations when and as
required under this Article XII; or
(iii) any
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct by the Indemnifying
Party.
In
the
case of any failure of performance described in clause (a)(ii) of this Section,
the Indemnifying Party shall promptly reimburse the Seller or the Depositor,
as
applicable, and each Person responsible for the preparation, execution or filing
of any report required to be filed with the Commission with respect to such
Securitization Transaction, or for execution of a certification pursuant to
Rule
13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act with respect to the Trust,
for all costs reasonably incurred by each such party in order to obtain the
information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material not
delivered as required by the Indemnifying Party or any Subservicer or
Subcontractor of the Indemnifying Party.
(b) (i)
Any
failure by the Indemnifying Party or any Subservicer or any Subcontractor of
the
Indemnifying Party to deliver any information, report, certification or
accountants’ letter when and as required under this Article XII, including
(except as provided below) any failure by the Indemnifying Party to identify
pursuant to Section 12.07 any Subcontractor “participating in the servicing
function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, which continues
unremedied for ten calendar days after the date on which such
165
information,
report, certification or accountants’ letter was required to be delivered shall
constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Indemnifying Party under
this
Agreement, and shall entitle the Seller or Depositor, as applicable, in its
sole
discretion to terminate the rights and obligations of the Indemnifying Party
under this Agreement without payment (notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary) of any compensation to the Indemnifying Party; provided that
to
the extent that any provision of this Agreement and/or any applicable
Reconstitution Agreement expressly provides for the survival of certain rights
or obligations following termination of the Master Servicer as servicer, such
provision shall be given effect.
Neither
the Seller nor any Depositor shall be entitled to terminate the rights and
obligations of an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this subparagraph (b)(ii)
if a
failure of the Master Servicer to identify a Subcontractor “participating in the
servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB was
attributable solely to the role or functions of such Subcontractor with respect
to mortgage loans other than the Mortgage Loans.
(ii) The
Indemnifying Party shall promptly reimburse the Seller and any Depositor for
all
reasonable expenses incurred by them, in connection with the termination of
the
Indemnifying Party and the transfer of their duties to a
successor. The provisions of this paragraph shall not limit whatever
rights the Seller or the Depositor may have under other provisions of this
Agreement or otherwise, whether in equity or at law, such as an action for
damages, specific performance or injunctive relief.

|

the
entity serving as Trustee is also serving as a Custodian, such entity in its

Depositor, the Master Servicer and each Person who controls any of such parties
(within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the
Exchange Act); and the respective directors, officers, and employees of each
of
the foregoing (each, an “Indemnified Party”), and shall hold each of them
harmless from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments, and any other costs,
fees
and expenses that any of them may sustain directly relating to:

untrue statement of a material fact contained or alleged to be contained in
any
information, compliance assessment or other material it is required to provide
or cause to be provided under this Article XII (collectively, the “Custodian
Information”), or (B) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Custodian
Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order

they were made, not misleading; or
(ii) any
failure to deliver or cause to be delivered any information, report,
certification, accountants’ attestation or other material when and as required
under this Article XII.
If
the
indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold
harmless an Indemnified Party, then the Custodian agrees that it shall
contribute to the amount paid or
166
payable
by such Indemnified Party as a result of any claims, losses, damages or
liabilities incurred by such Indemnified Party in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such Indemnified Party on the

does not satisfy the requirements of paragraph 7 and
paragraph 10 hereof.
|
|
|
13.
|
That
the Purchaser consents to the designation of the Securities Administrator

REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO
AMERICAN
HOME MORTGAGE LOANS
(a) Mortgage
Loans as Described. The information set forth in the Mortgage
Loan Schedule is complete, true and correct;
(b) Payments
Current. All payments required to be made up to the Closing Date
for the Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made and
credited. No payment required under the Mortgage Loan is 30 days or
more delinquent;
(c) No
Outstanding Charges. There are no defaults in complying with the
terms of the Mortgage, and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance
premiums, ground rents, leasehold payments, water, sewer and municipal charges,
leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have
been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient
to
pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but
is
not yet due and payable. The Seller has not advanced funds, or
induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other
than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount
required under the Mortgage Loan, except for interest accruing from the date
of
the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the Mortgage Loan proceeds,
whichever is greater, to the day which precedes by one month the related Due
Date of the first installment of principal and interest;
(d) Original
Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage
have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, from the
date of origination except by a written instrument which has been recorded,
if
necessary to protect the interests of the Trust, and which has been delivered
to
the Custodian or to such other Person as the Trust shall designate in writing,
and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan
Schedule. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or
modification has been approved by the issuer of any related PMI Policy and
the
title insurer, if any, to the extent required by the policy, and its terms
are
reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, if applicable. No instrument
of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed, and no Mortgagor has
been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption
agreement, approved by the issuer of any related PMI Policy and the title
insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement
is
part of the Mortgage Loan File delivered to the Custodian or to such other
Person as the Trust shall designate in writing and the terms of which are
reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule;
(e) No
Defenses. The Mortgage Loan is not subject to any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation
the
defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage
Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either
the
Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject
to
any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without
limitation the defense of usury and no such right of rescission, set-off,
counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Mortgagor
was a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at
the
time the Mortgage Loan was originated;
D-2-1
(f) Hazard
Insurance. Pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, all buildings
or other improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a generally
acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such
other hazards as are provided for in the Underwriting Guidelines. If
required by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, each Mortgage
Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the
current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration as in effect which
policy conforms with the Underwriting Guidelines. All individual
insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller and
its
successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been
paid. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the
hazard insurance policy at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the
Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain
and maintain such insurance at such Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and to seek
reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. Where required by state
law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the
carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a “master”
or “blanket” hazard insurance policy covering a condominium, or any hazard
insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit
development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding
obligation of the insurer, is in full force and effect, and will be in full
force and effect and inure to the benefit of the Trust upon the consummation
of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The insurance policy
provides for advance notice to the Seller or Servicer if the policy is canceled
or not renewed, or if any other change that adversely affects the Seller’s
interests is made; the certificate includes the types and amounts of coverage
provided, describes any endorsements that are part of the “master” policy and
would be acceptable pursuant to the Xxxxxx Mae Guides;
(g) Compliance
with Applicable Laws. Any and all requirements of any federal,
state or local law applicable to the origination or servicing of the Mortgage
Loans, including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate
settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, predatory, abusive and fair
lending, equal credit opportunity and disclosure laws applicable to the Mortgage
Loans, including, without limitation, any provisions relating to a Prepayment
Penalty, have been complied with in all material respects, the consummation
of
the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any
such
laws or regulations in any material respect;
(h) No
Satisfaction of Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been satisfied,
canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged
Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in
part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such release,
cancellation, subordination or rescission. The Seller has not waived
the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to
perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has
the
Seller waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the
Mortgagor;
(i) Type
of Mortgaged Property. With respect to a Mortgage Loan that is
not a Co-op Loan and is not secured by an interest in a leasehold estate, the
Mortgaged Property is a fee simple estate that consists of a single parcel
of
real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a
two-
to four-family dwelling, or an individual residential condominium unit in a
condominium project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development (or
with respect to each Co-op Loan, an individual unit in a residential cooperative
housing
D-2-2
corporation);
provided, however, that any condominium unit, planned unit development or
residential cooperative housing corporation shall conform with the Underwriting
Guidelines. No portion of the Mortgaged Property (or Underlying
Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan) is used for commercial
purposes, and since the date of origination, no portion of the Mortgaged
Property has been used for commercial purposes; provided, that Mortgaged
Properties which contain a home office shall not be considered as being used
for
commercial purposes as long as the Mortgaged Property has not been altered
for
commercial purposes and is not storing any chemicals or raw materials other
than
those commonly used for homeowner repair, maintenance and/or household
purposes. None of the Mortgaged Properties are (a) log homes,
mobile homes, geodesic domes or other unique property types, or
(b) Manufactured Homes;
(j) Valid
First or Second Lien. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting,
enforceable and perfected, first lien (with respect to a First Lien Loan) or
second lien (with respect to a Second Lien Loan) on the Mortgaged Property,
including all buildings and improvements on the Mortgaged Property and all
installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning
systems located in or annexed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations
and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing. The
lien of the Mortgage is subject only to:
(A) with
respect to a Second Lien Loan only, the lien of the first mortgage on the
Mortgaged Property;
(B) the
lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and
payable;
(C) covenants,
conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of
the
public record as of the date of recording acceptable to prudent mortgage lending
institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender’s title
insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and (A)
specifically referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for
the
originator of the Mortgage Loan or (B) which do not adversely affect the
Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal;
and
(D) other
matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially
interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the
Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged
Property.
Any
security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and
delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid,
subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien (with respect to a First Lien
Loan) or second lien (with respect to a Second Lien Loan) and first priority
(with respect to a First Lien Loan) or second priority (with respect to a Second
Lien Loan) security interest on the property described therein and the Seller
has full right to sell and assign the same to the Trust.
D-2-3
With
respect to any Co-op Loan, the related Mortgage is a valid, subsisting and
enforceable first priority security interest on the related cooperative shares
securing the Mortgage Note, subject only to (a) liens of the related
residential cooperative housing corporation for unpaid assessments representing
the Mortgagor’s pro rata share of the related residential cooperative housing
corporation’s payments for its blanket mortgage, current and future real
property taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance fees and other assessments
to
which like collateral is commonly subject and (b) other matters to which
like collateral is commonly subject which do not materially interfere with
the
benefits of the security interest intended to be provided by the related
Security Agreement;
(k) Validity
of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any
other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor in connection with a
Mortgage Loan are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation
of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms (including,
without limitation, any provisions therein relating to Prepayment
Penalties). All parties to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any
other such related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage
Loan
and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any such
agreement, and the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related
agreement have been duly and properly executed by other such related
parties. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or
similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part
of the Seller in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan or in
the
application of any insurance in relation to such Mortgage Loan. The
documents, instruments and agreements submitted for loan underwriting were
not
falsified and contain no untrue statement of material fact or omit to state
a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the information
and statements therein not misleading;
(l) Full
Disbursement of Proceeds. The Mortgage Loan has been closed and
the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no
requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements as
to
completion of any on-site or off site improvement and as to disbursements of
any
escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and
expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording
of
the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of
any
amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;
(m) Ownership. The
Seller is the sole owner of record and holder of the Mortgage Loan and the
indebtedness evidenced by each Mortgage Note and upon the sale of the Mortgage
Loans to the Trust, the Seller will retain the Mortgage Files or any part
thereof with respect thereto not delivered to the Custodian, the Trust or the
Trust’s designee, in trust only for the purpose of servicing and supervising the
servicing of each Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan is not assigned or
pledged, and the Seller has good, indefeasible and marketable title thereto,
and
has full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Trust free and
clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge,
claim or security interest, and has full right and authority subject to no
interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and
assign each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale
of
each Mortgage Loan, the Trust will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of
any
encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or
security interest. The Seller intends to relinquish all rights to
possess, control and monitor the Mortgage Loan, except
D-2-4
as
may be
required of the Seller in its capacity as Servicer of such Mortgage
Loan. After the Closing Date, the Seller will have no right to modify
or alter the terms of the sale of the Mortgage Loan and the Seller will have
no
obligation or right to repurchase the Mortgage Loan or substitute another
Mortgage Loan, except as provided in this Agreement;
(n) Doing
Business. All parties which have had any legal interest in the
Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or,
during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were)
(1) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the
laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and any
qualification requirements of Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae, as applicable, and
(2) either (i) organized under the laws of such state, or
(ii) qualified to do business in such state, or (iii) federal savings
and loan association, a savings bank or a national bank having a principal
office in such state, or (3) not doing business in such state;
(o) CLTV,
LTV and PMI Policy. No Mortgage Loan that is a Second Lien Loan
has a CLTV greater than 100%. No Mortgage Loan has an LTV greater
than 100%. Any Mortgage Loan that had at the time of origination an
LTV in excess of 80% is insured as to payment defaults by a PMI
Policy. Any PMI Policy in effect covers the related Mortgage Loan for
the life of such Mortgage Loan. All provisions of such PMI Policy
have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect,
and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. No action, inaction,
or event has occurred and no state of facts exists that has, or will result
in
the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage. Any Mortgage
Loan subject to a PMI Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain
the
PMI Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in connection
therewith. The Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan as set
forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance premium if
the
related PMI Policy is lender-paid;
(p) Title
Insurance. With respect to a Mortgage Loan which is not a Co-op
Loan, the Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy or
other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable under the
Underwriting Guidelines and each such title insurance policy is issued by a
title insurer acceptable under the Underwriting Guidelines and qualified to
do
business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring
the Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the first (with respect to a
First
Lien Loan) or second (with respect to a Second Lien Loan) priority lien of
the
Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan, subject only
to
the exceptions contained in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of paragraph
(j)
of this Exhibit D, and in the case of Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, against
any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting
from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment to the Mortgage
Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Where required by state law or
regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier
of the required mortgage title insurance. Additionally, such lender’s
title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress, and against
encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest
therein. The Seller, its successor and assigns, are the sole insured
of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance
policy is valid and remains in full force and effect and will be in force and
effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement;
D-2-5
(q) No
Defaults. Other than payments due but not yet 30 days or more
delinquent, there is no default, breach, violation or event which would permit
acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event
which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace
or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event which
would permit acceleration, and neither the Seller nor any of its affiliates
nor
any of their respective predecessors, have waived any default, breach, violation
or event which would permit acceleration;
(r) No
Mechanics’ Liens. There are no mechanics’ or similar liens or
claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are
outstanding that under law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related
Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate
with, the lien of the related Mortgage;
(s) Location
of Improvements; No Encroachments. All improvements which were
considered in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lay
wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged
Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the
Mortgaged Property. No improvement located on or being part of the
Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or
regulation;
(t) Origination;
Payment Terms. The Mortgage Loan was originated by a mortgagee
approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to
Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, a savings and
loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance
company or other similar institution which is supervised and examined by a
federal or state authority. Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan
commenced no more than seventy days after funds were disbursed in connection
with the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Interest Rate as well as, in the
case of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, the Lifetime Rate Cap and the Periodic
Cap are as set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. The Mortgage Note
is payable in equal monthly installments of principal (except for Mortgage
Loans
that provide for a fixed period of interest-only payments at the beginning
of
their term) and interest, which installments of interest, with respect to
Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, are subject to change due to the adjustments
to
the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date, with interest
calculated and payable in arrears, sufficient to amortize the Mortgage Loan
fully by the stated maturity date, over an original term of not more than
fifteen years from commencement of amortization. With respect to any
Mortgage Loan that provides for a fixed period of interest-only payments at
the
beginning of its term, at the end of such interest-only period, the Monthly
Payment will be recalculated so as to require Monthly Payments sufficient to
amortize the Mortgage Loan fully by its stated maturity date. Unless
otherwise specified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Mortgage Loan is payable
on the first day of each month. The Mortgage Loan does not require a
balloon payment on its stated maturity date; and by its original terms or any
modification thereof, does not provide for amortization beyond its scheduled
maturity date;
(u) Customary
Provisions. The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable
provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof
adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits
of
the security provided thereby, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage
designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (ii) otherwise by
judicial foreclosure. Upon default by a Mortgagor on a Mortgage Loan
and foreclosure on, or trustee’s sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the
proper procedures,
D-2-6
the
holder of the Mortgage Loan will be able to deliver good and merchantable title
to the Mortgaged Property. There is no homestead or other exemption
available to a Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the
Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage,
subject to applicable federal and state laws and judicial precedent with respect
to bankruptcy and right of redemption or similar law;
(v) Conformance
with Agency and Underwriting Guidelines. The Mortgage Loan was
underwritten in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines (a copy of which
is
attached to each related Assignment and Conveyance Agreement). The
Mortgage Loan is in conformity with the standards of Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx
Mae
under one of their respective home mortgage purchase programs (except that
the
principal balance of certain Mortgage Loans may have exceeded the limits of
Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac). The Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on
forms acceptable to Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Xxx and no representations have been
made to a Mortgagor that are inconsistent with the mortgage instruments
used;
(w) Occupancy
of the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is lawfully
occupied under applicable law. All inspections, licenses and
certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions
of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the
same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire
underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate
authorities. Unless otherwise specified on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule, the Mortgagor represented at the time of origination of the Mortgage
Loan that the Mortgagor would occupy the Mortgaged Property as the Mortgagor’s
primary residence;
(x) No
Additional Collateral. The Mortgage Note is not and has not been
secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and
the
security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage
referred to in clause (j) above;
(y) Deeds
of Trust. In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust,
a trustee, authorized and duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such,
has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the
Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Trust to
the
trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale
after default by the Mortgagor;
(z) Acceptable
Investment. There are no circumstances or conditions with respect
to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor, the Mortgage File or
the
Mortgagor’s credit standing that can reasonably be expected to cause private
institutional investors who invest in prime mortgage loans similar to the
Mortgage Loan to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause
the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, or adversely affect the value or
marketability of the Mortgage Loan, or cause the Mortgage Loan to prepay during
any period materially faster or slower than the mortgage loans originated by
the
Seller generally. No Mortgaged Property is located in a state, city,
county or other local jurisdiction which the Trust has determined in its sole
good faith discretion would cause the related Mortgage Loan to be ineligible
for
whole loan sale or securitization in a transaction consistent with the
prevailing sale and securitization industry (including, without limitation,
the
practice of the rating agencies) with respect to substantially similar mortgage
loans;
D-2-7
(aa) Delivery

provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance
of
the Mortgage Loan in the event that the Mortgaged Property is sold or
transferred without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee
thereunder;
(dd) Assumability. With
respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Loan Documents
provide that after the related first Interest Rate Adjustment Date, a related
Mortgage Loan may only be assumed if the party assuming such Mortgage Loan
meets
certain credit requirements stated in the Mortgage Loan Documents;
(ee) No
Buydown Provisions; No Graduated Payments or Contingent
Interests. The Mortgage Loan does not contain provisions pursuant
to which Monthly Payments are paid or partially paid with funds deposited in
any
separate account established by the Seller, the Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf
of the Mortgagor, or paid by any source other than the Mortgagor nor does it
contain any other similar provisions which may constitute a “buydown”
provision. The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan
and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent
interest feature;
(ff) Consolidation
of Future Advances. Any future advances made to the Mortgagor
prior to the applicable Cut-off Date have been consolidated with the outstanding
principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount,
as
consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment
term. The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal
amount is expressly insured as having first (with respect to a First Lien Loan)
or second (with respect to a Second Lien Loan) lien priority by a title
insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the Mortgagee’s
consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae and
Xxxxxxx Mac. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the
original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan;
(gg) Mortgaged
Property Undamaged; No Condemnation Proceedings. There is no
proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the
Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is undamaged by waste,
fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty
so as to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for
the Mortgage Loan or the use for which the premises were intended and each
Mortgaged Property is in good repair. There have not been any
condemnation proceedings with respect to the Mortgaged Property;
(hh) [reserved];
(ii)
[reserved];
D-2-8
(jj) Other
Insurance Policies; No Defense to Coverage. No action, inaction
or event has occurred and no state of facts exists or has existed on or prior
to
the Closing Date that has resulted or will result in the exclusion from, denial
of, or defense to coverage under any applicable hazard insurance policy, PMI
Policy or bankruptcy bond (including, without limitation, any exclusions,
denials or defenses which would limit or reduce the availability of the timely
payment of the full amount of the loss otherwise due thereunder to the insured),
irrespective of the cause of such failure of coverage. The Seller has
caused or will cause to be performed any and all acts required to preserve
the
rights and remedies of the Trust in any insurance policies applicable to the
Mortgage Loans including, without limitation, any necessary notifications of
insurers, assignments of policies or interests therein, and establishments
of
coinsured, joint loss payee and mortgagee rights in favor of the
Trust;
(kk) No
Violation of Environmental Laws. To the best of the Seller’s
knowledge, there is no pending action or proceeding directly involving the
Mortgaged Property in which compliance with any local, state or federal
environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue and the Mortgaged property
is
free from any and all toxic or hazardous substances; there is no violation
of
any environmental law, rule or regulation with respect to the Mortgage Property;
and nothing further remains to be done to satisfy in full all requirements
of
each such law, rule or regulation constituting a prerequisite to use and
enjoyment of said property;
(ll) Servicemembers
Civil Relief Act. The Mortgagor has not notified the Seller, and
the Seller has no knowledge of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor
under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, or other similar state
statute;
(mm) Appraisal. The
Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property signed
prior to the approval of the Mortgage Loan application by a Qualified Appraiser,
duly appointed by the Seller, who had no interest, direct or indirect in the
Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose
compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage
Loan, and the appraisal and appraiser both satisfy the requirements of Xxxxxx
Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac and Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery,
and Enforcement Act of 1989 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all
as
in effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated;
(nn) Disclosure
Materials. The Mortgagor has executed a statement to the effect
that the Mortgagor has received all disclosure materials required by, and the
Seller has complied with, all applicable law with respect to the making of

Mortgage Loans. The Seller shall maintain such statement in the
Mortgage File;
(oo) Construction
or Rehabilitation of Mortgaged Property. No Mortgage Loan was
made in connection with the construction (other than a “construct-to-perm” loan)
or rehabilitation of a Mortgaged Property or facilitating the trade-in or
exchange of a Mortgaged Property;
(pp) Escrow
Analysis. If applicable, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, the
Seller has within the last twelve months (unless such Mortgage was originated
within such twelve month period) analyzed the required Escrow Payments for
each
Mortgage and adjusted the amount of such payments so that, assuming all required
payments are timely made, any
D-2-9
deficiency
will be eliminated on or before the first anniversary of such analysis, or
any
overage will be refunded to the Mortgagor, in accordance with RESPA and any
other applicable law;
(qq) Credit
Information. As to each consumer report (as defined in the Fair
Credit Reporting Act, Public Law 91-508) or other credit information furnished
by the Seller to the Trust, that Seller has full right and authority and is
not
precluded by law or contract from furnishing such information to the Trust
and
the Trust is not precluded from furnishing the same to any subsequent or
prospective purchaser of such Mortgage. The Seller has, or has caused
the Interim Servicer in its capacity as servicer, and shall for each Mortgage
Loan, fully furnished, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and
its
implementing regulations, accurate and complete information (e.g. favorable
and
unfavorable) on its borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian and Trans Union
Credit Information Company (three of the credit repositories), on a monthly
basis;
(rr) Leaseholds. If
the Mortgage Loan is secured by a leasehold estate, (1) the ground lease is
assignable or transferable; (2) the ground lease will not terminate earlier
than five years after the maturity date of the Mortgage Loan; (3) the
ground lease does not provide for termination of the lease in the event of
lessee’s default without the Mortgagee being entitled to receive written notice
of, and a reasonable opportunity to cure the default; (4) the ground lease
permits the mortgaging of the related Mortgaged Property; (5) the ground

condemnation; (6) all ground lease rents, other payments, or assessments
that have become due have been paid; and (7) the use of leasehold estates

in
which the Mortgaged Property is located;

Penalty as provided in the related Mortgage Note is identified on the Mortgage
Loan Schedule. With respect to each Mortgage Loan that has a
Prepayment Penalty feature, each such Prepayment Penalty is enforceable, subject
to applicable bankruptcy laws, and will be enforced by the Seller during the
period the Seller is acting as Interim Servicer for the benefit of the Trust,
and each Prepayment Penalty complied in all material respects with applicable

date
of the Mortgage Note unless the Mortgage Loan was modified to reduce the
Prepayment Penalty period to no more than three (3) years from the date of
the
related Mortgage Note and the Mortgagor was notified in writing of such
reduction in Prepayment Penalty period. With respect to any Mortgage
Loan that contains a provision permitting imposition of a Prepayment Penalty
upon a prepayment prior to maturity: (i) the Mortgage Loan provides some benefit
to the Mortgagor (e.g., a rate or fee reduction) in exchange for accepting
such
Prepayment Penalty, (ii) prior to the Mortgage Loan’s origination, the Mortgagor
was offered the option of obtaining a mortgage loan that did not require payment
of such a penalty and (iii) the Prepayment Penalty was adequately disclosed
to
the Mortgagor in the mortgage loan documents pursuant to applicable state,
local
and federal law;
D-2-10

Lending Regulations. No Mortgage Loan is a High Cost Loan or
Covered Loan, as applicable. No Mortgage Loan is covered by the Home
Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 and no Mortgage Loan is in violation

credit life insurance policy. No Mortgagor was required to
purchase any single premium credit insurance policy (e.g., life, mortgage,
disability, property, accident, unemployment or health insurance product) or
debt cancellation agreement as a condition of obtaining the extension of
credit. No Mortgagor obtained a prepaid single-premium credit
insurance policy (e.g., life, mortgage, disability, property, accident,
unemployment, mortgage or health insurance) in connection with the origination
of the Mortgage Loan. No proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used to
purchase single premium credit insurance policies or debt cancellation
agreements as part of the origination of, or as a condition to closing, such
Mortgage Loan;
(vv) Qualified
Mortgage. The Mortgage Loan is a qualified mortgage under
Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code;
(ww) Tax
Service Contract. Each Mortgage Loan is either (x) a First
Lien Loan covered by a paid in full, life of loan, tax service contract issued
by First American Real Estate Tax Service, and such contract is transferable,
or
(y) a Second Lien Loan subordinate to a First Lien Loan which, to the best
of Seller’s knowledge, is covered by a paid in full, life of loan, tax service
contract issued by First American Real Estate Tax Service, and such contract
is
transferable. On the Closing Date, the Seller shall remit to the
Trust a transfer fee of two dollars ($2.00) for each Mortgage Loan covered
by
such a tax service contract. If such a tax service contract with
First American Real Estate Tax Service is not in place then a placement fee
of
seventy two dollars ($72.00) will apply for each such Mortgage
Loan;
(xx) Origination. No
predatory or deceptive lending practices, including, without limitation, the
extension of credit without regard to the ability of the Mortgagor to repay
and
the extension of credit which has no apparent benefit to the Mortgagor, were
employed in the origination of the Mortgage Loan;
(yy) Recordation. Each
original Mortgage was recorded and all subsequent assignments of the original
Mortgage (other than the assignment to the Trust) have been recorded in the
appropriate jurisdictions wherein such recordation is necessary to perfect
the
lien thereof as against creditors of the Seller, or is in the process of being
recorded;
(zz) Co-op
Loans. With respect to a Mortgage Loan that is a Co-op Loan, the
stock that is pledged as security for the Mortgage Loan is held by a person
as a
tenant-stockholder (as defined in Section 216 of the Code) in a cooperative
housing corporation (as defined in Section 216 of the Code);
(aaa) Mortgagor
Bankruptcy. The Mortgagor has not filed a bankruptcy petition, is
not the subject of an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding and has not consented
to
the filing of a bankruptcy proceeding against it or to a receiver being
appointed in respect of the related Mortgaged Property;
D-2-11
(bbb) No
Prior Offer. The Mortgage Loan has not previously been offered
for sale;
(ccc) Georgia
Fair Lending Act. There is no Mortgage Loan that was originated
on or after October 1, 2002 and before March 7, 2003 which is secured by
property located in the State of Georgia. There is no Mortgage Loan
that was originated on or after March 7, 2003 that is a “high cost home loan” as
defined under the Georgia Fair Lending Act;
(ddd) No
Arbitration. No Mortgagor with respect to any Mortgage Loan
originated on or after August 1, 2004 agreed to submit to arbitration to resolve
any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the mortgage loan
transaction;
(eee) Flood
Service Contract. Each Mortgage Loan is covered by a paid in
full, life of loan, flood service contract issued by either First American
Flood
Data Services or Fidelity, and such contract is transferable. If no
such flood service contract is in place, or if such flood service contract
is
issued by an insurer other than First American Flood Data Services or Fidelity,
then on the Closing Date, the Seller shall remit to the Trust a placement fee
of
ten dollars ($10.00) for each such Mortgage Loan;
(fff) Negative
Amortization. No Mortgage Loan is subject to negative
amortization;
(ggg) Origination
Practices/No Steering. The Mortgagor was not encouraged or
required to select a mortgage loan product offered by the Mortgage Loan’s
originator which is a higher cost product designed for less creditworthy
borrowers, unless at the time of the Mortgage Loan’s origination, such Mortgagor
did not qualify taking into account such facts as, without limitation, the
Mortgage Loan’s requirements and the Mortgagor’s credit history, income, assets
and liabilities and debt-to-income ratios for a lower-cost credit product then
offered by the Mortgage Loan’s originator or any affiliate of the Mortgage
Loan’s originator. If, at the time of loan application, the Mortgagor
may have qualified for a lower-cost credit product then offered by any mortgage
lending affiliate of the Mortgage Loan’s originator, the Mortgage Loan’s
originator referred the Mortgagor’s application to such affiliate for
underwriting consideration. For a Mortgagor who seeks financing
through a Mortgage Loan originator’s higher-priced subprime lending channel, the
Mortgagor was directed towards or offered the Mortgage Loan originator’s
standard mortgage line if the Mortgagor was able to qualify for one of the
standard products;
(hhh) Underwriting
Methodology. The methodology used in underwriting the extension
of credit for each Mortgage Loan does not rely solely on the extent of the
Mortgagor’s equity in the collateral as the principal determining factor in
approving such extension of credit. The methodology employed
objective criteria such as the Mortgagor’s income, assets and liabilities, to
the proposed mortgage payment and, based on such methodology, the Mortgage
Loan’s originator made a reasonable determination that at the time of
origination the Mortgagor had the ability to make timely payments on the
Mortgage Loan. Such underwriting methodology confirmed that at the
time of origination (application/approval) the Mortgagor had a reasonable
ability to make timely payments on the Mortgage Loan;
(iii) Points
and Fees. No Mortgagor was charged “points and fees” (whether or
not financed) in an amount greater than (i) $1,000, or (ii) 5% of the
principal amount of such
D-2-12
Mortgage
Loan, whichever is greater. For purposes of this representation, such
5% limitation is calculated in accordance with Xxxxxx Mae’s anti-predatory
lending requirements as set forth in the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides and “points and fees”
(x) include origination, underwriting, broker and finder fees and
charges that the mortgagee imposed as a condition of making the Mortgage Loan,
whether they are paid to the mortgagee or a third party; and
(y) exclude bona fide discount points, fees paid for actual services
rendered in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan (such as
attorneys’ fees, notaries fees and fees paid for property appraisals, credit
reports, surveys, title examinations and extracts, flood and tax certifications,
and home inspections), the cost of mortgage insurance or credit-risk price
adjustments, the costs of title, hazard, and flood insurance policies, state
and
local transfer taxes or fees, escrow deposits for the future payment of taxes
and insurance premiums, and other miscellaneous fees and charges which
miscellaneous fees and charges, in total, do not exceed 0.25% of the principal
amount of such Mortgage Loan; and
(jjj) Fees
Charges. All points, fees and charges (including finance charges)
and whether or not financed, assessed, collected or to be collected in
connection with the origination and servicing of each Mortgage Loan have been
disclosed in writing to the Mortgagor in accordance with applicable state and
federal law and regulation.

Defenses. The Mortgage Loan is not subject to any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation

have been paid. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to
maintain the hazard insurance policy at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on
the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to
obtain and maintain such insurance at such Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and to
seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. Where required by
state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose
the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a

canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged
Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in
part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such release,
cancellation, subordination or rescission;
(i) Location
and Type of Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is located in
the state identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of real property
with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a two- to
four-family dwelling, or an individual condominium unit in a low-rise
condominium project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development or
a de

the
public record as of the date of recording acceptable to prudent mortgage lending
institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender’s title
insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and (A)
specifically referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for
the
originator of the Mortgage Loan or (B) which do not adversely affect the
Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal;
and
(3) other
matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially
interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the
Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged
Property.
Any
security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and
delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid,
subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien and first priority security
interest on the property described therein and the Seller has full right to
sell
and assign the same to the Trust;
(k) Validity

the
Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any
amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;
(m) Ownership. The
Seller is the sole owner of record and holder of the Mortgage Loan and the
indebtedness evidenced by each Mortgage Note. The Mortgage Loan is
not assigned or pledged, and the Seller has good, indefeasible and marketable
title thereto, and has full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to
the
Trust free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien,
pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and authority
subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party,
to sell and assign each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following
the sale of each Mortgage Loan, the Trust will own such Mortgage Loan free
and
clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge,
claim or security interest. The Seller intends to relinquish all
rights to possess, control and monitor the Mortgage Loan. After the
Closing Date, the Seller will have no right to modify or alter the terms of
the
sale of the Mortgage Loan and the Seller will have no obligation or right to
repurchase the Mortgage Loan or substitute another Mortgage Loan, except as
provided in this Agreement;
(n) Doing
Business. The Seller is (1) in compliance with any and all applicable
licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property
is located, and (2) either (i) organized under the laws of such state, or (ii)
qualified to do business in such state, or (iii) a federal savings and loan
association, a savings bank or a national bank having a principal office in
such
state, or (3) not doing business in such state;
(o) CLTV;
LTV and PMI Policy. No Mortgage Loan has an LTV greater than
100%. Any Mortgage Loan that had at the time of origination an LTV in
excess of 80% is insured as to payment defaults by a PMI Policy. Any
PMI Policy in effect covers the related Mortgage Loan for the life of such
Mortgage Loan. All provisions of such PMI Policy have been and are
being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums
due thereunder have been paid. No action, inaction, or event has
occurred and no state of facts exists that has, or will result in the exclusion
from, denial of, or defense to coverage. Any Mortgage Loan subject to
a PMI Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the PMI Policy
and
to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. The Mortgage
Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan as set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule
is net of any such insurance premium if the related PMI Policy is
lender-paid;
(p) Title
Insurance. The Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender’s title
insurance policy, or with respect to any Mortgage Loan for which the related
Mortgaged Property is located in California a CLTA lender’s title insurance
policy, or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable
to
Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac and each such title insurance policy is issued by
a
title insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac and qualified to do
business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring
the Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the
Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan (or to the extent
a Mortgage Note provides for negative amortization, the maximum amount of
negative amortization in accordance with the Mortgage), subject only to the
exceptions contained in clauses (1) and (2) of Paragraph (j) of this Exhibit
D-2, and in the case of Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, against any loss by
reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the
provisions of the Mortgage providing
D-2-4
for
adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Where
required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the
opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title
insurance. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy
affirmatively insures ingress and egress, and against encroachments by or upon
the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The Seller, its
successor and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender’s title insurance
policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is valid and remains in full
force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement;
(q) No
Defaults. Other than payments due but not yet 30 days or more
delinquent, there is no default, breach, violation or event which would permit
acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event
which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace
or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event which
would permit acceleration, and neither the Seller nor any of its affiliates
have
waived any default, breach, violation or event which would permit
acceleration;
(r) No
Mechanics’ Liens. There are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims
which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding
that under the law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related
Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate
with, the lien of the related Mortgage;
(s) Location
of Improvements; No Encroachments. All improvements which were
considered in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lay
wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged
Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the
Mortgaged Property. No improvement located on or being part of the
Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or
regulation;
(t) Origination;
Payment Terms. Either (a) the Mortgage Loan was originated by a
mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant
to
Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, a savings and loan
association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company
or other similar institution which is supervised and examined by a federal
or
state authority, or (b) the following requirements have been met with respect
to
the Mortgage Loan: The Originator meets the requirements set forth in
clause (a), and (i) such Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with
standards established by the Originator, using application forms and related
credit documents approved by the Originator, (ii) the Originator approved each
application and the related credit documents before a commitment by the
correspondent was issued, and no such commitment was issued until the Originator
agreed to fund such Mortgage Loan, (iii) the closing documents for such Mortgage
Loan were prepared on forms approved by the Originator, and (iv) such Mortgage
Loan was actually funded by the Originator and was purchased by the Originator
at closing or soon thereafter. The Mortgage Interest Rate as well as,
with respect to Adjustable Rate Mortgage loans, the Lifetime Rate Cap and the
Periodic Cap, are as set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. The
Mortgage Note is payable in equal monthly installments of principal and
interest, which installments of interest, with respect to Adjustable Rate
Mortgage Loans, are subject to change due to the adjustments to the Mortgage
Interest Rate on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date, with interest calculated
and payable in arrears, sufficient to amortize the Mortgage Loan fully by the
stated maturity date, over an original term of not more than thirty
D-2-5
years
from commencement of amortization. Unless otherwise specified on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Mortgage Loan is payable on the first day of each
month. There are no Convertible Mortgage Loans which contain a
provision allowing the Mortgagor to convert the Mortgage Note from an adjustable
interest rate Mortgage Note to a fixed interest rate Mortgage Note;
(u) Customary
Provisions. The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable
provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof
adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits
of
the security provided thereby, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage
designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial
foreclosure. Upon default by a Mortgagor on a Mortgage Loan and
foreclosure on, or trustee’s sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the
proper procedures, the holder of the Mortgage Loan will be able to deliver
good
and merchantable title to the Mortgaged Property. There is no
homestead or other exemption available to a Mortgagor which would interfere
with
the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to
foreclose the Mortgage, subject to applicable federal and state laws and
judicial precedent with respect to bankruptcy and right of redemption or similar
law;
(v) Conformance
with Agency and Underwriting Guidelines. The Mortgage Loan was
underwritten in accordance with the Originator’s underwriting
guidelines. The Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to
Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae and the Originator has made no representations to
a
Mortgagor that are inconsistent with the mortgage instruments used;
(w) Occupancy
of the Mortgaged Property. As of the Closing Date the Mortgaged
Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law. All inspections,
licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all
occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and
occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy
and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the
appropriate authorities;
(x) No
Additional Collateral. The Mortgage Note is not and has not been
secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and
the
security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage
referred to in Paragraph (j) above;
(y) Deeds
of Trust. In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a
trustee, authorized and duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such,
has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the
Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Trust to
the
trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale
after default by the Mortgagor;
(z) Delivery
of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the
Assignment of Mortgage and any other documents required to be delivered under
the Custodial Agreement for each Mortgage Loan have been delivered to the
Custodian. The Seller is in possession of a complete, true and
accurate Mortgage File in compliance with Exhibit A hereto, except for such
documents the originals of which have been delivered to the
Custodian;
D-2-6
(aa) Condominiums/Planned
Unit Developments. If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit or
a planned unit development (other than a de minimis planned unit development)
such condominium or planned unit development project such Mortgage Loan was
originated in accordance with, and the Mortgaged Property meets the guidelines
set forth in the Originator’s underwriting guidelines;
(bb) Transfer
of Mortgage Loans. The Assignment of Mortgage with respect to each
Mortgage Loan is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the
laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is
located. The transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Mortgage
Notes and the Mortgages by the Seller are not subject to the bulk transfer
or
similar statutory provisions in effect in any applicable
jurisdiction;
(cc) Due-On-Sale. With
respect to each Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage contains an enforceable
provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance
of
the Mortgage Loan in the event that the Mortgaged Property is sold or
transferred without the prior written consent of the mortgagee thereunder,
and
such provision is enforceable;
(dd) Assumability. With
respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Loan Documents
provide that after the related first Interest Rate Adjustment Date, a related
Mortgage Loan may only be assumed if the party assuming such Mortgage Loan
meets
certain credit requirements stated in the Mortgage Loan Documents;
(ee) No
Buydown Provisions; No Graduated Payments or Contingent
Interests. The Mortgage Loan does not contain provisions pursuant to
which Monthly Payments are paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any
separate account established by the Originator, the Mortgagor, or anyone on
behalf of the Mortgagor, or paid by any source other than the Mortgagor nor
does
it contain any other similar provisions which may constitute a “buydown”
provision. The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan
and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent
interest feature;
(ff) Consolidation
of Future Advances. Any future advances made to the Mortgagor prior
to the Cut-off Date have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount
secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated,
bears a single interest rate and single repayment term. The lien of
the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured
as
having first lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the
policy insuring the mortgagee’s consolidated interest or by other title evidence
acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac. The consolidated principal
amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage
Loan;
(gg) Mortgaged
Property Undamaged; No Condemnation Proceedings. There is no
proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the
Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is undamaged by waste,
fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty
so as to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for
the Mortgage Loan or the use for which the premises were intended and each
Mortgaged Property is in good repair. There have not been any
condemnation proceedings with respect to the Mortgaged Property and the Seller
has no knowledge of any such proceedings in the future;
D-2-7
(hh) Collection
Practices; Escrow Deposits; Interest Rate Adjustments. With respect
to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, all such payments are in the possession
of, or under the control of, the Seller or the Originator and there exist no
deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for
repayment thereof have not been made. All Escrow Payments have been
collected in full compliance with state and federal law and the provisions
of
the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage. An escrow of funds is not
prohibited by applicable law and has been established in an amount sufficient
to
pay for every item that remains unpaid and has been assessed but is not yet
due
and payable. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges
or payments due the Seller have been capitalized under the Mortgage or the
Mortgage Note. All Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments have been made
in strict compliance with state and federal law and the terms of the related
Mortgage and Mortgage Note on the related Interest Rate Adjustment
Date. If, pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Note, another index
was selected for determining the Mortgage Interest Rate, the same index was
used
with respect to each Mortgage Note which required a new index to be selected,
and such selection did not conflict with the terms of the related Mortgage
Note. The Seller or the Originator executed and delivered any and all
notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage
Note
and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Interest Rate and the Monthly Payment
adjustments. Any interest required to be paid pursuant to state,
federal and local law has been properly paid and credited;
(ii) Conversion
to Fixed Interest Rate. With respect to Adjustable Rate Mortgage
Loans, the Mortgage Loan is not a Convertible Mortgage Loan;
(jj) Other
Insurance Policies. No action, inaction or event has occurred and no
state of facts exists or has existed that has resulted or will result in the
exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any applicable, special
hazard insurance policy, or bankruptcy bond, irrespective of the cause of such
failure of coverage. In connection with the placement of any such
insurance, no commission, fee, or other compensation has been or will be
received by the Seller or by any officer, director, or employee of the Seller
or
any designee of the Seller or any corporation in which the Seller or any
officer, director, or employee had a financial interest at the time of placement
of such insurance;
(kk) No
Violation of Environmental Laws. There is no pending action or
proceeding directly involving the Mortgaged Property in which compliance with
any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue; there is no violation
of
any environmental law, rule or regulation with respect to the Mortgage Property;
and nothing further remains to be done to satisfy in full all requirements
of
each such law, rule or regulation constituting a prerequisite to use and
enjoyment of said property;
(ll) Servicemembers
Civil Relief Act. The Mortgagor has not notified the Seller, and the
Seller has no knowledge of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor
under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act or any similar state
statute;
(mm) Appraisal. The
Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property signed
prior to the approval of the Mortgage Loan application by a Qualified Appraiser,
duly appointed by the Seller or the Originator, who had no interest, direct
or
indirect in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof,
and whose compensation is not
D-2-8
affected
by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan, and the appraisal and
appraiser both satisfy the requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac and Title
XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989
and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date the

cause the Mortgage Loans to prepay during any period materially faster or slower
than similar mortgage loans held by the Seller generally secured by properties
in the same geographic area as the related Mortgaged Property;
(pp) No
Defense to Insurance Coverage. No action has been taken or failed to
be taken, no event has occurred and no state of facts exists or has existed
on
or prior to the Closing Date (whether or not known to the Seller on or prior
to
such date) which has resulted or will result in an exclusion from, denial of,
or
defense to coverage under any primary mortgage insurance (including, without
limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses which would limit or reduce
the
availability of the timely payment of the full amount of the loss otherwise
due
thereunder to the insured) whether arising out of actions, representations,
errors, omissions, negligence, or fraud of the Originator, the related Mortgagor
or any party involved in the application for such coverage, including the
appraisal, plans and specifications and other exhibits or documents submitted
therewith to the insurer under such insurance policy, or for any other reason
under such coverage, but not including the failure of such insurer to pay by
reason of such insurer’s breach of such insurance policy or such insurer’s
financial inability to pay;
(qq) Escrow

the last twelve months (unless such Mortgage was originated within such twelve
month period) analyzed the required Escrow Payments for each Mortgage and

to
the related Mortgage Loan may result in additional assignee liability to the
Trust;
(ww) Single-premium
credit life insurance policy. No Mortgagor was required to purchase
any single premium credit insurance policy (e.g., life, disability, property,
accident, unemployment or health insurance product) or debt cancellation
agreement as a condition of obtaining the extension of credit. No
Mortgagor obtained a prepaid single-premium credit insurance policy (e.g.,
life,
disability, property, accident, unemployment, mortgage or health insurance)

following sentence. We agree, on our own behalf and on behalf of
any
accounts for which we are acting as hereinafter stated, that if we
should
sell any Privately Offered Certificates within two years of the later
of
the date of original issuance of the Privately Offered Certificates
or the
last day on which such Privately Offered Certificates are owned by
the
Depositor or any affiliate of the Depositor we will do so only (A) to
the Depositor, (B) to “qualified institutional buyers” (within the
meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act) in accordance with
Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“QIBs”), (C) pursuant to the
exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 under the Securities
Act, or (D) to an institutional “accredited investor” within the
meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under
the Securities Act that is not a QIB (an “Institutional Accredited
Investor”) which, prior to such transfer, delivers to the Certificate
Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of
November

letter in the form of this letter; and we further agree, in the capacities
stated above, to provide to any person purchasing any of the Privately
Offered Certificates from us a notice advising such purchaser that
resales
of the Privately Offered Certificates are restricted as stated
herein.
|
|
(2)
|
We
understand that, in connection with any proposed resale of any Privately
Offered Certificates to an Institutional Accredited Investor, we
will be
required to furnish to the Certificate Registrar a certification
from such

being
made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject
to,

that the Privately Offered Certificates purchased by us will bear
a legend
to the foregoing effect.

matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of
our
investment in the Privately Offered Certificates, and we and any
account
for which we are acting are each able to bear the economic risk
of such
investment.

|
(4)
|

are an Institutional Accredited Investor and we are acquiring the
Privately Offered Certificates purchased by us for our own account
or for
one or more accounts (each of which is an Institutional Accredited
Investor) as to each of which we exercise sole investment
discretion.

We
have received such information as we deem necessary in order to make
our
investment decision.

person
acting on behalf of such a Plan may acquire such Certificate except

– Standard & Poor’s Predatory Lending Categories
Standard
& Poor’s has categorized loans governed by anti-predatory lending laws in
the Jurisdictions listed below into three categories based upon a combination
of
factors that include (a) the risk exposure associated with the assignee
liability and (b) the tests and thresholds set forth in those laws. Note that
certain loans classified by the relevant statute as Covered are included in
Standard & Poor’s High Cost Loan Category because they included thresholds
and tests that are typical of what is generally considered High Cost by the
industry.
