PRELIMINARY
STATEMENT:
The
Depositor intends to sell pass-through certificates to be issued hereunder
in
multiple classes, which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial
ownership interest in each REMIC (as defined herein) created hereunder. The
Trust Fund will consist of a segregated pool of assets comprised of the Mortgage
Loans and certain other related assets subject to this Agreement.
REMIC
I
As
provided herein, the Trust Administrator will elect to treat the segregated
pool
of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other related assets
(other than any Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts, the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account, the Cap Account, the Cap Administration Agreement
and
the Cap Contract) subject to this Agreement as a REMIC for federal income tax
purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will be designated as “REMIC I.”
The Class R-I Interest will be the sole class of “residual interests” in REMIC I
for purposes of the REMIC Provisions (as defined herein). The following table
irrevocably sets forth the designation, the REMIC I Remittance Rate, the initial
Uncertificated Balance and, for purposes of satisfying Treasury regulation
Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the “latest possible maturity date” for each of the

Interests will be certificated.

their acceptance of such Certificates acknowledge and agree that the Trust

or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trust Administrator
shall apply to the Trust Administrator’s execution of the Cap Contract, and the

thereunder.
In
connection with such transfer and assignment, the Depositor does hereby deliver

In
instances where an original recorded Mortgage cannot be delivered by the
Depositor to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) prior
to or
concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, due to a delay
in connection with the recording of such Mortgage, the Depositor may, (a) in
lieu of delivering such original recorded Mortgage referred to in clause (ii)
above, deliver to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) a
copy
thereof, provided that the Depositor certifies that the original Mortgage has
been delivered to a title insurance company for recordation after receipt of
its
policy of title insurance or binder therefor (which may be a certificate

the completed assignment in recordable form referred to in clause (iii) above
to
the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), deliver such assignment

insurance referred to in clause (vi) above, deliver to the Trustee (or the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) a binder with respect to such policy (which

delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor may, in lieu of delivering the
original of such agreement referred to in clause (iv) above, deliver a certified
copy thereof.
To
the
extent not already recorded, except

of
receipt by the Servicer of the recording information for a Mortgage) submit
or
cause to be submitted for recording, at no expense to any Trust REMIC, in the
appropriate public office for real property records, each Assignment delivered
to it pursuant to (iii) above. In the event that any such Assignment is lost
or
returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Servicer, at the expense
of
the Sponsor, shall promptly prepare or cause to be prepared a substitute
Assignment or cure or cause to be cured such defect, as the case may be, and
thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly recorded. Notwithstanding
the
foregoing, but without limiting the requirement that such Assignments be in
recordable form, neither the Servicer nor the Trustee shall be required to
submit or cause to be submitted for recording any Assignment delivered to it
or
the Custodian pursuant to (iii) above if such recordation shall not, as of
the
Closing Date, be required by the Rating Agencies, as a condition to their
assignment on the Closing Date of their initial ratings to the Certificates,
as
evidenced by the delivery by the Rating Agencies of their ratings letters on
the
Closing Date; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer
shall submit each Assignment for recording, at no expense to the Trust Fund
or
the Servicer, upon the earliest to occur of: (A) reasonable direction by Holders

respect to any one Assignment the occurrence of a foreclosure relating to the
Mortgagor under the related Mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Sponsor fails to pay the cost of recording the Assignments, such expense will
be
paid by the Servicer and the Servicer shall be reimbursed for such expenses
by
the Trust as Servicing Advances.
In
connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on the MERS
System, the Depositor further agrees that it will cause, within 30 Business
Days
after the Closing Date, the MERS System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans
have been assigned by the Depositor to the Trustee in accordance with this
Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders by including in such
computer files (a) the code in the field which identifies the specific Trustee
and (b) the code in the field “Pool Field” which identifies the series of the
Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans. The Depositor
further agrees that it will not, and will not permit the Servicer to, and the
Servicer agrees that it will not and will not permit a Sub-Servicer to, alter
the codes referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan during
the term of this Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased
in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
With
respect to a maximum of approximately 5.00% of the Original Mortgage Loans,
by
outstanding principal balance of the Original Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date, if any original Mortgage Note referred to in (i) above cannot be located,
the obligations of the Depositor to deliver such documents shall be deemed
to be
satisfied upon delivery to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee) of a photocopy of such Mortgage Note, if available, with a lost note
affidavit. If any of the original Mortgage Notes for which a lost note affidavit
was delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) is
subsequently located, such original Mortgage Note shall be delivered to the
Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) within three Business
Days.
The
Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee (or the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) promptly upon receipt thereof any other
original documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received with respect
to any Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, any original documents
evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any
Mortgage Loan.
All
original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans that are not delivered to
the
Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) are and shall be held by
or
on behalf of the Sponsor, the Depositor or the Servicer, as the case may be,
in
trust for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. In
the
event that any such original document is required pursuant to the terms of
this
Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, such document shall be delivered
promptly to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee). Any such
original document delivered to or held by the Depositor that is not required
pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, shall
be
delivered promptly to the Servicer.
Wherever
it is provided in this Section 2.01 that any document, evidence or information
relating to a Mortgage Loan be delivered or supplied to the Trustee, the
Depositor shall do so by delivery thereof to the Trustee or the Custodian on
behalf of the Trustee.
The
parties hereto understand and agree that it is not intended that any Mortgage
Loan be included in the Trust that is a high-cost home loan as defined by the
Homeownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 or any other applicable
predatory or abusive lending laws.
| SECTION 2.02 |
Acceptance
of the Trust Fund by the Trustee.
|
Subject
to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to any exceptions noted on an
exception report delivered by or on behalf of the Trustee, the Trustee
acknowledges receipt of the documents referred to in Section 2.01 (other than
such documents described in Section 2.01(iv)) above and all other assets
included in the definition of “Trust Fund” and declares that it holds and will
hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting the
Mortgage File, and that it holds or will hold all such assets and such other
assets included in the definition of “Trust Fund” in trust for the exclusive use
and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.
The
Trustee, by execution and delivery hereof, acknowledges receipt, subject to
the
review described in the succeeding sentence, of the documents and other property
referred to in Section 2.01 and declares that the Trustee (or the Custodian
on
behalf of the Trustee) holds and will hold such documents and other property,
including property yet to be received in the Trust Fund, in trust, upon the
trusts herein set forth, for the benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders. The Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf shall, for the
benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, review each Mortgage File
within 90 days after execution and delivery of this Agreement, to ascertain
that
all required documents have been executed, received and recorded, if applicable,
and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans. If in the course of such
review the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf finds a document or documents
constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be defective or missing in any
material respect, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf shall promptly
so
notify the Depositor, the Trust Administrator, the Sponsor, the Servicer and,
if
such notice is from the Custodian on the Trustee’s behalf, the Trustee. In
addition, upon the discovery by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust
Administrator or the Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and
warranties made by the Originator or the Sponsor in the related Assignment
Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects
such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the related Certificateholders in such
Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written
notice to the other parties.
The
Depositor and the Trustee intend that the assignment and transfer herein
contemplated constitute a sale of the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage
Notes
and the related documents, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any
liens and encumbrances, from the Depositor to the Trustee in trust for the
benefit of the Certificateholders and that such property not be part of the
Depositor’s estate or property of the Depositor in the event of any insolvency
by the Depositor. In the event that such conveyance is deemed to be, or to
be
made as security for, a loan, the parties intend that the Depositor shall be
deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Trustee a first priority
perfected security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest
in and to the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Notes and the related
documents, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under
applicable law.
The
Trustee may, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof or at any
time
thereafter, enter into a custodial agreement with the Custodian pursuant to
which the Trustee appoints the Custodian to hold the Mortgage Files on behalf
of
the Trustee for the benefit of the Trustee and all present and future
Certificateholders, which may provide that the Custodian shall, on behalf of
the
Trustee, conduct the review of each Mortgage File required under the first
paragraph of this Section 2.02. Initially, Citibank West, FSB is appointed
as
Custodian with respect to the Mortgage Files of all the Mortgage Loans and,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, it is understood that such
initial Custodian shall be responsible for the review contemplated in the second
paragraph of this Section 2.02 and for all other functions relating to the
receipt, review, reporting and certification provided for herein with respect
to
the Mortgage Files (other than ownership thereof for the benefit of the
Certificateholders and related duties and obligations set forth
herein).
| SECTION 2.03 |
Repurchase
or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by the Sponsor or the
Depositor.
|
(a) Upon
discovery or receipt of notice by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust
Administrator or the Trustee of any materially defective document in, or that
a
document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of the breach by the Originator
or
the Sponsor of any representation, warranty or covenant under the Master
Agreement or the Assignment Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which
materially adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest
therein of the Certificateholders, the party so discovering or receiving notice
shall promptly notify the other parties to this Agreement, and the Trustee
thereupon shall promptly notify the Originator and the Sponsor of such defect,
missing document or breach and request that the the Originator deliver such
missing document or cure such defect or that the Originator or the Sponsor,
as
applicable, cure such breach within 90 days from the date the Originator or
the
Sponsor, as applicable, was notified of such missing document, defect or breach,
and if the Originator or Sponsor, 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 Originator or Sponsor,
as applicable, under the Master Agreement or the Assignment Agreement (i) to
repurchase such Mortgage Loan from REMIC I at the Purchase Price within 90
days
after the date on which the Sponsor was notified (subject to Section 2.03(e))
of
such missing document, defect or breach, and (ii) to indemnify the Trust Fund
in
respect of such missing document, defect or breach, in the case of each of
(i)
and (ii), if and to the extent that the Originator or Sponsor, as applicable,
is
obligated to do so under the Master Agreement or the Assignment Agreement.
The
Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan and any indemnification shall
be remitted by the Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, to the Servicer
for
deposit into the Collection Account, and the Trust Administrator, upon receipt
of written notice from the Servicer of such deposit, shall give written notice
to the Trustee and the Custodian that such deposit has taken place and the
Trustee shall release (or cause the Custodian to release on its behalf) to
the
Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, the related Mortgage File, and the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall execute and deliver such instruments
of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Originator
or
the Sponsor, as applicable, shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to
vest in the Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, any Mortgage Loan released
pursuant hereto, and the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall have no
further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. In furtherance of
the
foregoing, if the Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, is not a member
of
MERS and repurchases a Mortgage Loan which is registered on the MERS System,
the
Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, pursuant to the Master Agreement
or
the Assignment Agreement at its own expense and without any right of
reimbursement, shall cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the
Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Originator
or the Sponsor, as applicable, and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed
from
registration on the MERS System in accordance with MERS rules and regulations.
In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, if so provided
in the Master Agreement or Assignment Agreement the Originator or the Sponsor,
as applicable, may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from REMIC I (in
which
case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations
set forth in Section 2.03(d). It is understood and agreed that the obligation
of
the Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, to cure or to repurchase (or
to
substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing, a material
defect in a constituent document exists or as to which such a breach has
occurred and is continuing, and if and to the extent provided in the Master
Agreement or Assignment Agreement to perform any applicable indemnification
obligations with respect to any such omission, defect or breach, as provided
in
such Assignment Agreement, shall constitute the only remedies respecting such
omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator
on behalf of the Certificateholders.
(b) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 2.03, with respect to any breach by
the
Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, of any representation and warranty
which breach materially and adversely affects the value of any Prepayment Charge
or the interests of the Certificateholders therein, the Trustee shall enforce
the obligation of the Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, to remedy such
breach as provided in the Master Agreement or Assignment Agreement as follows:
upon any Principal Prepayment with respect to the affected Mortgage Loan, the
Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, shall pay or cause to be paid to
the
Purchaser the excess, if any, of (x) the amount of such Prepayment Charge
calculated as set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and (y) the amount
collected from the Mortgagor in respect of such Prepayment Charge.
(c) Within
90
days of the earlier of discovery by the Servicer or receipt of notice by the
Depositor of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the
Servicer set forth in Section 2.05 which materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall
cure such breach in all material respects.
(d) Any
substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage Loans
made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) must be effected prior to the date which is
two
years after the Startup Day for REMIC I.
As
to any
Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable,
substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution
shall be effected by the Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, delivering
to
the Trustee (or to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, as applicable),
for
such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the
Mortgage, the Assignment in blank or to the Trustee, and such other documents
and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by
Section 2.01, together with an Officers’ Certificate providing that each such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and
specifying the Substitution Shortfall Amount (as described below), if any,
in
connection with such substitution. The Custodian on its behalf and on behalf
of
the Trustee shall, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, review each
Mortgage File within 90 days after execution and delivery of this Agreement,
to
ascertain that all required documents have been executed, received and recorded,
if applicable, and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans. If in
the
course of such review the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf finds a
document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be defective
in
any material respect, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf shall promptly
so notify the Depositor, the Trust Administrator, the Originator, the Sponsor
and the Servicer. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of the Trust Fund
and
will be retained by the Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable. For the month
of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the Monthly
Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan on or before the Due Date in the
month
of substitution, and the Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, shall
thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect
of
such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Trust Administrator shall give or cause to
be
given written notice to the Trustee and the Certificateholders that such
substitution has taken place, and the Trust Administrator shall amend or cause
the Custodian to amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of
such
Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution
of
the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, upon receipt thereof,
shall
deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Servicer. Upon
such
substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute
part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects to the terms
of
this Agreement and the Master Agreement or Assignment Agreement (including
all
applicable representations and warranties thereof included in such Master
Agreement or Assignment Agreement), in each case as of the date of
substitution.
For
any
month in which the the Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, substitutes
one
or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage
Loans, the Servicer will determine the amount (the “Substitution Shortfall
Amount”), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted
Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate of, as to each such Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan, the Scheduled Principal Balance thereof as of the date of
substitution, together with one month’s interest on such Scheduled Principal
Balance at the applicable Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate. On the date of such
substitution, the Trustee will monitor the obligation of the Originator or
the
Sponsor, as applicable, to deliver or cause to be delivered, and shall request
that such delivery be to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account,
an
amount equal to the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if any, and the Trustee
(or
the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, as applicable), upon receipt of the
related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and written notice given
by
the Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the Originator or the Sponsor,
as
applicable, the related Mortgage File or Files and the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or
assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Originator or the Sponsor,
as
applicable, shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any
Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
In
addition, the Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, shall obtain at its
own
expense and deliver to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not cause (a) any federal
tax
to be imposed on any Trust REMIC, including without limitation, any federal
tax
imposed on “prohibited transactions” under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on
“contributions after the startup date” under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or
(b) any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificate is outstanding.
(e) Upon
discovery by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator 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 to
this Agreement, and the Trustee shall give written notice thereof to the
Sponsor. In connection therewith, the Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable,
pursuant to the Master Agreement or Assignment Agreement or the Depositor
pursuant to this Agreement shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations
set
forth in Section 2.03(d), substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery
or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Such
repurchase or substitution shall be made by (i) the Originator or the Sponsor,
as applicable, if the affected Mortgage Loan’s status as a non-qualified
mortgage is or results from a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant
made by the Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, under the Master Agreement
or Assignment Agreement or (iii) the Depositor, if the affected Mortgage Loan’s
status as a non-qualified mortgage is a breach of no representation or warranty.
Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set
forth in Sections 2.03(a). The Trustee shall reconvey to the Depositor, the
Originator or the Sponsor, as the case may be, 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 by the Originator or the Sponsor for breach
of
a representation or warranty.

shall
service and administer the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Trustee and in the
best interests of and for the benefit of the Certificateholders (as determined
by the Servicer in its reasonable judgment) in accordance with the terms of
this
Agreement and the respective Mortgage Loans and, to the extent consistent with
such terms, in the same manner in which it services and administers similar
mortgage loans for its own portfolio, giving due consideration to customary

extent consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer (a) shall seek the timely
and
complete recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage Notes and (b) shall
waive (or permit a Sub-Servicer to waive) a Prepayment Charge only under the
following circumstances: (i) such waiver is standard and customary in servicing
similar Mortgage Loans and such waiver relates to a default or a reasonably
foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer,
maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such
Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the collection of such
Prepayment Charge would be in violation of applicable laws or (iii) the amount
of the Prepayment Charge set forth on the Prepayment Charge Schedule is not
consistent with the related Mortgage Note or is otherwise unenforceable. If
a
Prepayment Charge is waived as permitted by meeting the standard described
in
clauses (ii) or (iii) above, then, the Trustee shall make commercially
reasonable efforts to attempt to enforce the obligations of the Originator
under
the Master Agreement to pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge, for
the
benefit of the Holders of the Class P Certificates; provided, however, that
the
Trustee shall not be under any obligation to take any action pursuant to this
paragraph unless directed by the Depositor and provided, further, the Depositor
hereby agrees to assist the Trustee in enforcing any obligations of the
Originator to repurchase or substitute for a Mortgage Loan which has breached
a
representation or warranty under the Master Agreement or Assignment Agreement.
If the Trustee makes a good faith determination as evidenced by an officer’s
certificate delivered by the Trustee to the Trust Administrator, that the
Servicer’s efforts are not reasonably expected to be successful in enforcing
such rights, it shall notify the Trust Administrator of such failure and the
Trust Administrator, with the cooperation of the Servicer, shall enforce the
obligation of the Originator under the Master Agreement to pay to the Servicer
the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge. If such Originator fails to pay
the
amount of such waived Prepayment Charge in accordance with its obligations
under
the related Master Agreement, the Trustee, Trust Administrator, the Servicer
and
the Depositor shall consult on further actions to be taken against the
Originator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Trustee and
the Originator are the same entity, the Trust Administrator shall enforce the
obligations of the Originator under the related Master Agreement pursuant to
the
terms of this paragraph.
To
the
extent consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer shall also seek to maximize
the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage
Notes. Subject only to the above-described servicing standards and the terms
of
this Agreement and of the respective Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall have
full power and authority, acting alone or through Sub-Servicers as provided
in
Section 3.02, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with
such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer in its own name
or in the name of a Sub-Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the
Trustee when the Servicer believes it appropriate in its best judgment in
accordance with the servicing standards set forth above, to execute and deliver,
on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, and upon notice to the
Trustee, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial
or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect
to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure
proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the
ownership of such properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such
properties, on behalf of the Trustee and Certificateholders. The Servicer shall
service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable state
and federal law and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to
be
provided to them thereby. The Servicer shall also comply in the performance
of
this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of any standard hazard
insurance policy. Subject to Section 3.17, the Trustee shall execute, at the
written request of the Servicer, and furnish to the Servicer and any
Sub-Servicer such documents as are necessary or appropriate to enable the
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer to carry out their servicing and administrative
duties hereunder, and the Trustee hereby grants to the Servicer a power of
attorney to carry out such duties. The Trustee shall not be liable for the
actions of the Servicer or any Sub-Servicers under such powers of
attorney.
In
accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the Servicer shall
advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting
the timely payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which
advances shall be Servicing Advances reimbursable in the first instance from
related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and further
as
provided in Section 3.11. Any cost incurred by the Servicer or by Sub-Servicers
in effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on a Mortgaged Property
shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders,
be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan,
notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit provided,
however, that (subject to Section 3.07) the Servicer may capitalize the amount
of any Servicing Advances incurred pursuant to this Section 3.01 in connection
with the modification of a Mortgage Loan.
The
Servicer further is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name or in the name of the
Sub-Servicer, when the Servicer or the Sub-Servicer, as the case may be,
believes it is appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan
on
the MERS System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage
Loan
on the MERS System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of assignment and
other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording
of
a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Trustee and its
successors and assigns. Any reasonable expenses (i) incurred as a result of
MERS
discontinuing or becoming unable to continue operations in connection with
the
MERS System or (ii) if the affected Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the
judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, incurred
in
connection with the actions described in the preceding sentence, shall be
subject to withdrawal by the Servicer from the Collection Account.
Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer may not make any future
advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan (except as provided in Section 4.03)
and the Servicer shall not (i) permit any modification with respect to any
Mortgage Loan (except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is in default or,
in
the judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable) that
would
change the Mortgage Rate, reduce or increase the principal balance (except
for
reductions resulting from actual payments of principal) or change the final
maturity date on such Mortgage Loan or (ii) permit any modification, waiver
or
amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would both (A) effect an
exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code
(or
final, temporary or proposed Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and
(B) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the
imposition of any tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions after the
startup date” under the REMIC Provisions.
The
Servicer may delegate its responsibilities under this Agreement; provided,
however, that no such delegation shall release the Servicer from the
responsibilities or liabilities arising under this Agreement.
| SECTION 3.02 |
Sub-Servicing
Agreements Between the Servicer and
Sub-Servicers.
|
(a) The
Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing
Agreements
(provided that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a downgrading
by the Rating Agencies of the rating on any Class of Certificates) with
Sub-Servicers, for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans;
provided, however, such sub-servicing arrangement and the terms of the related
Sub-Subservicing Agreement must provide for the servicing of Mortgage Loans
in a
manner consistent with the servicing arrangement contemplated hereunder.
(b) Each
Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or states
in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if
and
to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Sub-Servicer to perform
its obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing Agreement and (ii) a
Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae approved mortgage servicer. Each Sub-Servicing
Agreement must impose on the Sub-Servicer requirements conforming to the
provisions set forth in Section 3.08 and provide for servicing of the Mortgage
Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer will examine
each Sub-Servicing Agreement and will be familiar with the terms thereof. The
terms of any Sub-Servicing Agreement will not be inconsistent with any of the
provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer and the Sub-Servicers may enter
into
and make amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into different
forms of Sub-Servicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments
or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions
of
this Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form shall be made
or
entered into which could be reasonably expected to be materially adverse to
the
interests of the Certificateholders, without the consent of the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any variation
without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66%
of
the Voting Rights from the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 relating to
insurance or priority requirements of Sub-Servicing Accounts, or credits and
charges to the Sub- Servicing Accounts or the timing and amount of remittances
by the Sub-Servicers to the Servicer, are conclusively deemed to be inconsistent
with this Agreement and therefore prohibited. The Servicer shall deliver to
the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements,
and
any amendments or modifications thereof, promptly upon the Servicer’s execution
and delivery of such instruments.
(c) As
part
of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer (except as otherwise
provided in the last sentence of this paragraph), for the benefit of the Trustee
and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer
under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, including, without limitation, any
obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments as required by
a
Sub-Servicing Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the
legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements, and the
pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out
to
such an extent and at such time as the Servicer, in its good faith business
judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The
Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall
be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such
enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts
due
in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, or (ii) from a specific recovery
of
costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the party against whom such
enforcement is directed.
| SECTION 3.03 |
Successor
Sub-Servicers.
|
The
Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement and the
rights and obligations of any Sub-Servicer pursuant to any Sub-Servicing
Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Sub-Servicing
Agreement. In the event of termination of any Sub-Servicer, all servicing
obligations of such Sub-Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by the Servicer
without any act or deed on the part of such Sub-Servicer or the Servicer, and
the Servicer either shall service directly the related Mortgage Loans or shall
enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor Sub-Servicer which
qualifies under Section 3.02.
Any
Sub-Servicing Agreement shall include the provision that such agreement may
be
immediately terminated by the Trustee or the Trust Administrator without fee,
in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in the event that the Servicer
shall, for any reason, no longer be the Servicer (including termination due
to a
Servicer Event of Default).
| SECTION 3.04 |
Liability
of the Servicer.
|
Notwithstanding
any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating
to
agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a Sub-Servicer or reference
to actions taken through a Sub-Servicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain
obligated and primarily liable to the Trustee and the Certificateholders for
the
servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3.01 without diminution of such obligation or liability
by
virtue of such Sub-Servicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of
indemnification from the Sub-Servicer and to the same extent and under the
same
terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering
the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement
with a Sub- Servicer for indemnification of the Servicer by such Sub-Servicer
and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify
such
indemnification.
| SECTION 3.05 |
No
Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicers and Trustee, Trust
Administrator or
Certificateholders.
|
Any
Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any transactions or
services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer in its capacity
as such shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the Servicer alone,
and the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Certificateholders shall not
be
deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties
or
liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer except as set forth in Section
3.06. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any
Sub-Servicer, irrespective of whether the Servicer’s compensation pursuant to
this Agreement is sufficient to pay such fees.
| SECTION 3.06 |
Assumption
or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements by Trust
Administrator.
|
In
the
event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the servicer (including
by
reason of the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default), the Trust
Administrator or its designee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer under each Sub-Servicing Agreement that the Servicer
may have entered into, unless the Trust Administrator elects to terminate any
Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with its terms as provided in Section
3.03. Upon such assumption, the Trust Administrator, its designee or the
successor servicer for the Trust Administrator appointed pursuant to Section
7.02 shall be deemed, subject to Section 3.03, to have assumed all of the
Servicer’s interest therein and to have replaced the Servicer as a party to each
Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if each Sub-Servicing Agreement
had been assigned to the assuming party, except that (i) the Servicer shall
not
thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under any Sub-Servicing
Agreement and (ii) none of the Trust Administrator, its designee or any
successor Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed any liability or obligation
of the Servicer that arose before it ceased to be the Servicer.
The
Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the Trust Administrator, deliver
to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Sub-Servicing
Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an accounting of
amounts collected and held by or on behalf of it, and otherwise use its best
efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub- Servicing
Agreements to the assuming party.
| SECTION 3.07 |
Collection
of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.
|
The
Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under
the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to the extent such
procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions
of any applicable insurance policies (including the PMI Policy), follow such
collection procedures as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans
comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Consistent with
the foregoing and the servicing standards set forth in Section 3.01, the
Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or, if
applicable, penalty interest or (ii) extend the due dates for Monthly Payments
due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not greater than 180 days; provided
that
any extension pursuant to clause (ii) above shall not affect the amortization
schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of any computation hereunder, except
as provided below. In the event of any such arrangement pursuant to clause
(ii)
above, the Servicer shall make timely advances on such Mortgage Loan during
such
extension pursuant to Section 4.03 and in accordance with the amortization
schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such
arrangements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage
Loan
is in default or, in the judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably
foreseeable, the Servicer, consistent with the standards set forth in Section
3.01, may waive,
modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including, but not limited to,
modifications that change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of principal
or
interest or extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan), accept
payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated Principal
Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan (such payment, a “Short
Pay-off”) or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term
or otherwise grant indulgence to any Mortgagor, if
in the
Servicer’s determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence
is not materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders (taking
into account any estimated Realized Loss that might result absent such action);
provided, however, the Servicer shall not modify any Mortgage Loan in a manner
that would capitalize the amount of any unpaid Monthly Payments or tax or
insurance payments advanced by the Servicer on the Mortgagor’s behalf unless the
related Mortgagor shall have remitted an amount equal to a full Monthly Payment
(or, in the case of any Mortgage Loan subject to a forbearance plan or
bankruptcy plan, a full modified monthly payment under such plan) in each of
the
three calendar months immediately preceding the month of such modification.
| SECTION 3.08 |
Sub-Servicing
Accounts.
|
In
those
cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a
Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer will be required to establish and
maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the “Sub-Servicing Account”). The
Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall comply with all
requirements of this Agreement relating to the Collection Account. The
Sub-Servicer shall deposit in the Sub-Servicing Account, in no event more than
two Business Days after the Sub-Servicer’s receipt thereof, all proceeds of
Mortgage Loans received by the Sub-Servicer less its servicing compensation
to
the extent permitted by the Sub-Servicing Agreement. The Sub-Servicer shall
thereafter remit such proceeds to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection
Account not later than two Business Days after the deposit of such amounts
in
the Sub-Servicing Account. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall
be
deemed to have received payments on the Mortgage Loans when the Sub-Servicer
receives such payments.
| SECTION 3.09 |
Collection
of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Servicing
Accounts.
|
To
the
extent the terms of a Mortgage provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall
establish and maintain one or more accounts (the “Servicing Accounts”), into
which all collections from the Mortgagors (or related advances from
Sub-Servicers) for the payment of taxes, assessments, fire, flood, and hazard
insurance premiums, hazard insurance proceeds (to the extent such amounts are
to
be applied to the restoration or repair of the property) and comparable items
for the account of the Mortgagors (“Escrow Payments”) shall be deposited and
retained. Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. The Servicer shall
deposit in the Servicing Accounts on a daily basis and in no event later than
the second Business Day after receipt, and retain therein, all Escrow Payments
collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting the
timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement.
Withdrawals of amounts from a Servicing Account may be made only to (i) effect
timely payment of taxes, assessments, fire, flood, and hazard insurance
premiums, and comparable items; (ii) reimburse the Servicer out of related
collections for any advances made pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to
taxes and assessments) and Section 3.14 (with respect to fire, flood and hazard
insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be
overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and as described below, to Mortgagors
on balances in the Servicing Account; or (v) clear and terminate the Servicing
Account at the termination of the Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities in
respect of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement in accordance with Article
IX. As part of its servicing duties, the Servicer shall pay to the Mortgagors
interest on funds in Servicing Accounts, to the extent required by law and,
to
the extent that interest earned on funds in the Servicing Accounts is
insufficient, to pay such interest from its or their own funds, without any
reimbursement therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not
be
obligated to collect Escrow Payments if the related Mortgage Loan does not
require such payments but the Servicer shall nevertheless be obligated to make
Servicing Advances as provided in Section 3.01. In the event the Servicer shall
deposit in the Servicing Accounts any amount not required to be deposited
therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Servicing Accounts,
any provision to the contrary notwithstanding.
To
the
extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer (i)
shall determine whether any such payments are made by the Mortgagor in a manner
and at a time that is necessary to avoid the loss of the Mortgaged Property
due
to a tax sale or the foreclosure as a result of a tax lien and (ii) shall ensure
that all insurance required to be maintained on the Mortgaged Property pursuant
to this Agreement is maintained. If any such payment has not been made and
the
Servicer receives notice of a tax lien with respect to the Mortgage Loan being
imposed, the Servicer will, to the extent required to avoid loss of the
Mortgaged Property, advance or cause to be advanced funds necessary to discharge
such lien on the Mortgaged Property. The Servicer assumes full responsibility
for the payment of all such bills and shall effect payments of all such bills
irrespective of the Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or
the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make Servicing Advances from its
own
funds to effect such payments.
| SECTION 3.10 |
Collection
Account and Distribution Account.
|
(a) On
behalf
of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more
separate, segregated trust accounts (such account or accounts, the “Collection
Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Trust Administrator, the Trustee
and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall
deposit or cause to be deposited in the clearing account (which account must
be
an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections
on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities
on a
daily basis, and in no event more than two Business Days after the Servicer’s
receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the Collection Account, in
no
event more than one Business Day after the deposit of such funds into the
clearing account, as and when received or as otherwise required hereunder,
the
following payments and collections received or made by it from and after the
Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal or interest on the related
Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date), or payments (other than
Principal Prepayments) received by it on or prior to the Cut-off Date but
allocable to a Due Period subsequent thereto:
(i) all
payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments (but not
Prepayment Charges), on the Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all
payments on account of interest (net of the related Servicing Fee) on each
Mortgage Loan;
(iii) all
Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds (other than proceeds collected
in
respect of any particular REO Property and amounts paid by the Servicer in
connection with a purchase of Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to
Section 9.01);
(iv) any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12 in connection with
any
losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the
Collection Account;
(v) any
amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to the second
paragraph of Section 3.14(a) in respect of any blanket policy
deductibles;
(vi) all
proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased or purchased in accordance with
Section 2.03 or Section 9.01;
(vii) all
amounts required to be deposited in connection with shortfalls in principal
amount of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.03;
(viii) without
duplication, all payments of claims under the PMI Policy; and
(ix) all
Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer and any Servicer Prepayment Charge
Payment Amounts in connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of the
Mortgage Loans.
For
purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the Cut-off Date with respect
to
any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to be the date of
substitution.
The
foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Accounts shall be
exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges or assumption
fees (other than Prepayment Charges) need not be deposited by the Servicer
in
the Collection Account. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the
Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may
at
any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein
to the contrary notwithstanding.
(b) On
behalf
of the Trust Fund, the Trust Administrator, as agent for the Trustee, shall
establish and maintain one or more separate, segregated trust accounts (such
account or accounts, the “Distribution Account”), held in trust for the benefit
of the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall
deliver to the Trust Administrator in immediately available funds for deposit
in
the Distribution Account (i) on the Servicer Remittance Date, that portion
of
the Available Distribution Amount (calculated without regard to the subtraction
therefrom of the Credit Risk Manager Fee) for the related Distribution Date
then
on deposit in the Collection Account, the amount of all Prepayment Charges
collected during the applicable Prepayment Period by the Servicer and Servicer
Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts in connection with the Principal Prepayment
of
any of the Mortgage Loans then on deposit in the Collection Account and (ii)
on
each Business Day as of the commencement of which the balance on deposit in
the
Collection Account exceeds $75,000 following any withdrawals pursuant to the
next succeeding sentence, the amount of such excess, but only if the Collection
Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the
definition of “Eligible Account.” If the balance on deposit in the Collection
Account exceeds $75,000 as of the commencement of business on any Business
Day
and the Collection Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant
to
clause (ii) of the definition of “Eligible Account,” the Servicer shall, on or
before 4:00 p.m. New York time on such Business Day, withdraw from the
Collection Account any and all amounts payable or reimbursable to the Depositor,
the Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Sponsor or any
Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11 and shall pay such amounts to the Persons
entitled thereto.
(c) Funds
in
the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be invested in Permitted
Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 3.12. The
Servicer shall give notice to the Trust Administrator and the Trust
Administrator shall give notice to the Trustee and the Depositor of the location
of the Collection Account maintained by it when established and prior to any
change thereof. The Trust Administrator shall give notice to the Servicer,
the
Trustee and the Depositor of the location of the Distribution Account when
established and prior to any change thereof.
(d) Funds
held in the Collection Account at any time may be delivered by the Servicer
to
the Trust Administrator for deposit in an account (which may be the Distribution
Account and must satisfy the standards for the Distribution Account as set
forth
in the definition thereof) and for all purposes of this Agreement shall be
deemed to be a part of the Collection Account; provided, however, that the
Trust
Administrator shall have the sole authority to withdraw any funds held pursuant
to this subsection (d). In the event the Servicer shall deliver to the Trust
Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account any amount not required
to
be deposited therein, it may at any time request that the Trust Administrator
withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account and remit to it any such
amount, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In addition,
the
Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Administrator from time to time for deposit,
and upon written notification from the Servicer, the Trust Administrator shall
so deposit, in the Distribution Account:
(i) any
P&I Advances, as required pursuant to Section 4.03;
(ii) any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.23(d) or (f) in
connection with any REO Property;
(iii) any
amounts to be paid by the Servicer in connection with a purchase of Mortgage
Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 9.01;
(iv) any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.24 in connection with
any
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls; and
(v) any
Stayed Funds, as soon as permitted by the federal bankruptcy court having
jurisdiction in such matters.
(e) Promptly
upon receipt of any Stayed Funds, whether from the Servicer, a trustee in
bankruptcy, or federal bankruptcy court or other source, the Trust Administrator
shall deposit such funds in the Distribution Account, subject to withdrawal
thereof as permitted hereunder.
(f) The
Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amounts required to be
deposited pursuant to Section 3.12(b) in connection with losses realized on
Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the Collection
Account.
| SECTION 3.11 |
Withdrawals
from the Collection Account and Distribution
Account.
|
(a) The
Servicer shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Collection Account
for any of the following purposes or as described in Section 4.03:
(i) to
remit
to the Trust Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account the amounts
required to be so remitted pursuant to Section 3.10(b) or permitted to be so
remitted pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3.10(d);
(ii) subject
to Section 3.16(d), to reimburse the Servicer for P&I Advances, but only to
the extent of amounts received which represent Late Collections (net of the
related Servicing Fees) of Monthly Payments on Mortgage Loans with respect
to
which such P&I Advances were made in accordance with the provisions of
Section 4.03;
(iii) subject
to Section 3.16(d), to pay the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer (A) any unpaid
Servicing Fees, (B) any unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to each
Mortgage Loan, but only to the extent of any Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance
Proceeds or other amounts as may be collected by the Servicer from a Mortgagor,
or otherwise received with respect to such Mortgage Loan and (C) without
limiting any right of withdrawal set forth in clause (vi) below, any Servicing
Advances made with respect to a Mortgage Loan that, following the final
liquidation of a Mortgage Loan are Nonrecoverable Advances, but only to the
extent that Late Collections, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds
received with respect to such Mortgage Loan are insufficient to reimburse the
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for such Servicing Advances;
(iv) to
pay to
the Servicer as servicing compensation (in addition to the Servicing Fee) on
the
Servicer Remittance Date any interest or investment income earned on funds
deposited in the Collection Account;
(v) to
pay to
the Servicer, the Depositor or the Sponsor, as the case may be, with respect
to

Agreement that were included in the Purchase Price of the Mortgage Loan,
including any expenses arising out of the enforcement of the purchase
obligation;
(ix) [reserved];
(x) to

or to reimburse the Servicer for advances in respect of expenses incurred in

Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the
Collection Account, to the extent held by or on behalf of it, pursuant to
subclauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (viii) and (ix) above. The Servicer
shall provide written notification to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator,
on or prior to the next succeeding Servicer Remittance Date, upon making any
withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to subclause (vii)
above.
(b) The
Trust
Administrator shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Distribution

(i) to
make
distributions to the Cap Account in accordance with Section 4.08;

| SECTION 3.12 |
Investment
of Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution
Account.
|
(a) The
Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection
Account (for purposes of this Section 3.12, an “Investment Account”), and the
Trust Administrator may at the direction of the Depositor direct any depository
institution maintaining the Distribution Account (for purposes of this Section
3.12, also an “Investment Account”), to hold the funds in such Investment
Account uninvested or to invest the funds in such Investment Account in one
or
more Permitted Investments specified in such instruction bearing interest or
sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than
the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required
to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other
than the Trust Administrator is the obligor thereon, and (ii) no later than
the
date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant
to this Agreement, if the Trust Administrator is the obligor thereon. All such
Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand.
Any
investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the
Trust Administrator (in its capacity as such) or in the name of a nominee of
the
Trust Administrator. The Trust Administrator shall be entitled to sole
possession (except with respect to investment direction of funds held in the
Collection Account and the Distribution Account and any income and gain realized
thereon) over each such investment, and any certificate or other instrument
evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Trust
Administrator or its agent, together with any document of transfer necessary
to
transfer title to such investment to the Trust Administrator or its nominee.
In
the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested
in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Trust Administrator
shall:
(x) consistent
with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon
be
made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder
in
an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and
(2)
the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and
(y) demand
payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by a
Responsible Officer of the Trust Administrator that such Permitted Investment
would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter
on
deposit in the Investment Account.
(b) All
income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the
Collection Account held by or on behalf of the Servicer, shall be for the
benefit of the Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance
with Section 3.11. The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account the
amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted
Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately upon realization of
such
loss.
(c) All
income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the
Distribution Account held by or on behalf of the Trust Administrator, shall
be
for the benefit of the Trust Administrator and shall be subject to its
withdrawal at any time. The Trust Administrator shall deposit in the
Distribution Account the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect
of
any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately
upon
realization of such loss.
(d) Except
as
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the
making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs
in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Trust
Administrator may and, subject to Section 8.01 and Section 8.02(a)(v), upon
the
request of the Holders of Certificates representing more than 50% of the Voting
Rights allocated to any Class of Certificates, shall take such action as may
be
appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution
and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.
| SECTION 3.13 |
[Reserved].
|
| SECTION 3.14 |
Maintenance
of Hazard Insurance and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity
Coverage.
|
(a) The
terms
of each Mortgage Note require the related Mortgagor to maintain fire, flood
and
hazard insurance policies. To the extent such policies are not maintained,
the
Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgaged Property fire and
hazard insurance with extended coverage as is customary in the area where the
Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser
of the current principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and the amount necessary
to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements which are a
part
of such property on a replacement cost basis, in each case in an amount not
less
than such amount as is necessary to avoid the application of any coinsurance
clause contained in the related hazard insurance policy. The Servicer shall
also
cause to be maintained fire and hazard insurance on each REO Property with
extended coverage as is customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property
is
located in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum
insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property and (ii)
the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan at the time
it
became an REO Property. The Servicer will comply in the performance of this
Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under
any
such hazard policies. Any amounts to be collected by the Servicer under any
such
policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of
the
property subject to the related Mortgage or amounts to be released to the
Mortgagor in accordance with the procedures that the Servicer would follow
in
servicing loans held for its own account, subject to the terms and conditions
of
the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note) shall be deposited in the Collection
Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.11, if received in respect
of a Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to
Section 3.23, if received in respect of an REO Property. Any cost incurred
by
the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of
calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid
principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms
of such Mortgage Loan so permit; provided, however, that the Servicer may
capitalize the amount of any Servicing Advances incurred pursuant to this
Section 3.14 in connection with the modification of a Mortgage Loan. It is
understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to
be
required of any Mortgagor other than pursuant to such applicable laws and
regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such
additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property or REO Property is at any time
in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the Servicer will cause
to be
maintained a flood insurance policy in respect thereof. Such
flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid
principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and (ii) the maximum amount
of
such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under the national
flood insurance program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged Property
is located is participating in such program). Such
flood insurance must also be equal to the replacement value or the maximum
payable amount under the Flood Disaster Protection Act (FDPA).
In
the
event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy with an
insurer having a General Policy Rating of B:VI or better in Best’s Key Rating
Guide insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall
conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the
first two sentences of this Section 3.14, it being understood and agreed that
such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall,
in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged
Property or REO Property a policy complying with the first two sentences of
this
Section 3.14, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have
been
covered by such policy, deposit to the Collection Account from its own funds
the
amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible
clause. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of
the
Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself,
the Trustee, the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders, claims under any such
blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such
policy.
(b) The
Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this Agreement a policy or
policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for failure in the
performance of its respective obligations under this Agreement, which policy
or
policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the requirements
of
Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac if it were the purchaser of the Mortgage Loans, unless
the Servicer, has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae or
Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall each also maintain a fidelity bond in the form
and amount that would meet the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, unless
the Servicer, has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae or
Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with this provision
if an Affiliate of the Servicer, has such errors and omissions and fidelity
bond
coverage and, by the terms of such insurance policy or fidelity bond, the
coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Servicer. Any such errors and
omissions policy and fidelity bond shall by its terms not be cancelable without
thirty days’ prior written notice to the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator.
| SECTION 3.15 |
Enforcement
of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements.
|
The
Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective
conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any Mortgagor (whether by absolute
conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains
or
is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise
its
rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the “due-on-sale”
clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided, however, that the Servicer shall
not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from doing so. If the Servicer
reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such
“due-on-sale” clause, or if any of the other conditions set forth in the proviso
to the preceding sentence apply, the Servicer will enter into an assumption
and
modification agreement from or with the person to whom such property has been
conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes
liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state
law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Servicer is also authorized
to
enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such person, pursuant
to
which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such person is
substituted as the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note,
provided that no such substitution shall be effective unless such person
satisfies the then current underwriting criteria of the Servicer for mortgage
loans similar to the Mortgage Loans. In connection with any assumption or
substitution, the Servicer shall apply such underwriting standards and follow
such practices and procedures as shall be normal and usual in its general
mortgage servicing activities and as it applies to other mortgage loans owned
solely by it. The Servicer shall not take or enter into any assumption and
modification agreement, however, unless (to the extent practicable in the
circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in writing, of the continued
effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance policy. Any fee collected
by
the Servicer in respect of an assumption or substitution of liability agreement
will be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In
connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note
(including but not limited to the related Mortgage Rate and the amount of the
Monthly Payment) may be amended or modified, except as otherwise required
pursuant to the terms thereof. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the
Trust Administrator that any such substitution or assumption agreement has
been
completed by forwarding to the Trust Administrator on behalf of the Trustee
the
executed original of such substitution or assumption agreement, which document
shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be
considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other
documents and instruments constituting a part thereof.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer
shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its
obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by
operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any assumption which
the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatever.
For purposes of this Section 3.15, the term “assumption” is deemed to also
include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property) subject to the Mortgage that is
not
accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability
agreement.
| SECTION 3.16 |
Realization
Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
|
(a) The
Servicer shall, consistent with the servicing standard set forth in Section
3.01, foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties
securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and
as
to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent
payments pursuant to Section 3.07. The Servicer shall be responsible for all
costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however,
that such costs and expenses will be recoverable as Servicing Advances by the
Servicer as contemplated in Section 3.11 and Section 3.23. The foregoing is
subject to the provision that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall
have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Servicer shall not be required
to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall
determine in its discretion that such restoration will increase the proceeds
of
liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself for
such
expenses.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.16 or any other provision of this
Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Servicer has
received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any
toxic
or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall
not, on behalf of the Trustee, either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged
Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or (ii)
otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to,
such
Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Trustee, the Trust
Fund, the Trust Administrator, the Servicer or the Certificateholders would
be
considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an
“owner” or “operator” of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980,
as
amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Servicer has also
previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a report prepared
by
a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry
standards, that:
(1) such
Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or,
if
not, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take
such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance
therewith; and
(2) there
are
no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use,
management or disposal of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials,
hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials for which investigation, testing,
monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any
federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if any such materials are
present for which such action could be required, that it would be in the best
economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions with respect to the
affected Mortgaged Property.
The
cost
of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 3.16 shall be
advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed
therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.11(a)(ix), such
right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to
receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected
Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.
If
the
Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic
interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to bring any
such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws,
or
to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation
of
hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes or petroleum-based
materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Servicer shall take
such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund.
The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall
be
advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed
therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.11(a)(ix), such
right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to
receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected
Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.
(c)
The
Servicer shall have the right to purchase from REMIC I any defaulted Mortgage
Loan that is 90 days or more delinquent, which the Servicer determines in good
faith will otherwise become subject to foreclosure proceedings (evidence of
such
determination to be delivered in writing to the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator prior to purchase), at a price equal to the Purchase Price. The
Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder shall be deposited
in
the Collection Account, and the Trust Administrator, upon receipt of written
certification from the Servicer of such deposit, shall release or cause to
be
released to the Servicer the related Mortgage File and the Trust Administrator,
upon receipt of written certification from the Servicer of such deposit, shall
execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case
without recourse, as the Servicer shall furnish and as shall be necessary to
vest in the Servicer title to any Mortgage Loan released pursuant
hereto.
(d) Proceeds
received in connection with any Final Recovery Determination, as well as any
recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds or
Liquidation Proceeds, in respect of any Mortgage Loan, will be applied in the
following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and P&I
Advances, pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(ii) or (a)(iii)(B); second, to accrued
and
unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final Recovery
Determination, or to the Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such
amounts are to be distributed if not in connection with a Final Recovery
Determination; and third, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan.
If
the amount of the recovery so allocated to interest is less than the full amount
of accrued and unpaid interest due on such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such
recovery will be allocated by the Servicer as follows: first, to unpaid
Servicing Fees; and second, to the balance of the interest then due and owing.
The portion of the recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be
reimbursed to the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section
3.11(a)(iii)(A).
| SECTION 3.17 |
Trustee
to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage
Files.
|
(a) Upon
the
payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a
notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner customary for
such purposes, the Servicer will immediately notify the Custodian, on behalf
of
the Trustee, by a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit E (which
certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received
or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be
deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.10 have been or will
be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request that the Custodian,
on
behalf of the Trustee, deliver to it the Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such
certification and request, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall
release within two Business Days the related Mortgage File to the Servicer,
and
the Servicer is authorized to cause the removal from the registration on the
MERS® System of any such Mortgage, if applicable, and to execute and deliver, on
behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release.
No
expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed
of
reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection Account or the Distribution
Account.
The
Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf) shall, at the written request and
expense of any Certificateholder, provide a written report to such
Certificateholder of all Mortgage Files released to the Servicer for servicing
purposes.
(b) From
time
to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage
Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any insurance policy
relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall,
upon request of the Servicer and delivery to the related Custodian and the
Trustee of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit E, release the related
Mortgage File to the Servicer within two Business Days, and the Custodian,
on
behalf of the Trustee, shall, at the direction of the Servicer, execute such
documents as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings.
Such
Request for Release shall obligate the Servicer to return each and every
document previously requested from the Mortgage File to the Custodian when
the
need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has
been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan
have
been deposited in the Collection Account or the Mortgage File or such document
has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public
official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action
or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either
judicially or non-judicially, and the Servicer has delivered to the Custodian,
on behalf of the Trustee, a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as
to
the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document
was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of
a
certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was
liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in connection with
such liquidation that are required to be deposited into the Collection Account
have been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property,
a
copy of the Request for Release shall be released by the Custodian, on behalf
of
the Trustee, to the Servicer.
(c) Upon
written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall execute and
deliver to the Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or
other documents reasonably necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in
respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain
judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain
a
deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by
the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each
such
certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be
executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents or
pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the
Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except
for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or
trustee’s sale.
| SECTION 3.18 |
Servicing
Compensation.
|
As
compensation for the activities of the Servicer hereunder, the Servicer shall
be
entitled to the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan payable solely
from payments of interest in respect of such Mortgage Loan, subject to Section
3.24. In addition, the Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing
Fees out of Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds to the extent permitted
by Section 3.11(a)(iii)(A) and out of amounts derived from the operation and
sale of an REO Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.23. The right
to
receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except
in
connection with the transfer of all of the Servicer’s responsibilities and
obligations under this Agreement.
Additional
servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges
and
other similar fees and charges (other than Prepayment Charges) shall be retained
by the Servicer (subject to Section 3.24) only to the extent such fees or
charges are received by the Servicer. The Servicer shall also be entitled
pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iv) to withdraw from the Collection Account, and
pursuant to Section 3.23(b) to withdraw from any REO Account, as additional
servicing compensation, interest or other income earned on deposits therein,
subject to Section 3.12 and Section 3.24. The Servicer shall be required to
pay
all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities
hereunder (including premiums for the insurance required by Section 3.14, to
the
extent such premiums are not paid by the related Mortgagors or by a
Sub-Servicer, servicing compensation of each Sub-Servicer, and to the extent
provided herein in Section 8.05, the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the
Trust Administrator) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except
as specifically provided herein.
| SECTION 3.19 |
Reports
to the Trust Administrator; Collection Account
Statements.
|
Not
later
than fifteen days after each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall forward
to
the Trust Administrator, upon the request of the Trust Administrator, a
statement prepared by the Servicer setting forth the status of the Collection
Account as of the close of business on the last day of the calendar month
relating to such Distribution Date and showing, for the period covered by such
statement, the aggregate amount of deposits into and withdrawals from the
Collection Account of each category of deposit specified in Section 3.10(a)
and
each category of withdrawal specified in Section 3.11. Such statement may be
in
the form of the then current Xxxxxx Mae Monthly Accounting Report for its
Guaranteed Mortgage Pass-Through Program with appropriate additions and changes,
and shall also include information as to the aggregate of the outstanding
principal balances of all of the Mortgage Loans as of the last day of the
calendar month immediately preceding such Distribution Date. Copies of such
statement shall be provided by the Trust Administrator to any Certificateholder
and to any Person identified to the Trust Administrator as a prospective
transferee of a Certificate, upon the request and at the expense of the
requesting party, provided such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the
Trust Administrator.
| SECTION 3.20 |
Statement
as to Compliance.
|
The
Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Administrator, on or before March
15th
of each
calendar year beginning in 2007, an Officers’ Certificate (an “Annual Statement
of Compliance”) stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the
activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of performance
under this Agreement has been made under such officers’ supervision and (ii) to
the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has
fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement in all material respects
throughout such year, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such
obligation in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to such
officer and the nature and status of cure provisions thereof. The Servicer
shall
deliver, or cause any Sub-Servicer to deliver, a similar Annual Statement of
Compliance by any Sub-Servicer to which the Servicer has delegated any servicing
responsibilites with respect to the Mortgage Loans, to the Trust Administrator
as described above as and when required with respect to the Servicer.
If
the
Servicer cannot deliver the related Annual Statement of Compliance by March
15th
of such year, the Trust Administrator, at its sole option, may permit a cure
period for the Servicer to deliver such Annual Statement of Compliance, but
in
no event later than March 20th of such year.
Failure
of the Servicer to timely comply with this Section 3.20, which continues
unremedied for ten (10) calendar days after the date on which the Annual
Statement of Compliance was required to be delivered, shall be deemed an Event
of Default, and upon the receipt of written notice from the Trust Administrator
of such Event of Default, the Trustee may at the direction of the Depositor,
in
addition to whatever rights the Trustee may have under this Agreement and at
law
or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance,
upon notice immediately terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer
under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof
without compensating the Servicer for the same; provided
that to
the extent that any provision of this Agreement expressly provides for the
survival of certain rights or obligations following termination of the Servicer,
such provision shall be given effect. This paragraph shall supercede any other
provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.
The
Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Trust
Administrator and their officers, directors and Affiliates from and against
any
actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary
legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses that such
Person may sustain based upon a breach of the Servicer’s obligations under this
Section 3.20.
| SECTION 3.21 |
Assessments
of Compliance and Attestation
Reports.
|
(a) The
Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with
all
applicable requirements of the Servicing Criteria (as set forth in Exhibit
C
hereto). The Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Administrator on or before
March 1st
of each
calendar year beginning in 2007, the following:
(i) a
report
(an “Assessment of Compliance”) regarding the Servicer’s assessment of
compliance with the Servicing Criteria during the immediately preceding calendar
year, as required under Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item
1122 of Regulation AB. Such report shall be signed by an authorized officer
of
the Servicer, and shall address each of the Servicing Criteria set forth in
Exhibit C hereto;
(ii) a
report
(an “Attestation Report”) of a registered public accounting firm reasonably
acceptable to the Depositor that attests to, and reports on, the assessment
of
compliance made by the Servicer and delivered pursuant to the preceding
paragraph. Such attestation shall be in accordance with Rules 1-02(a)(3) and
2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act;
and
(iii) cause
each Sub-Servicer, and each subcontractor determined by the Servicer to be
“participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of
Regulation AB, to deliver an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report
as
and when provided in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section
3.21(a).
(iv) a
statement as to which of the Servicing Criteria, if any, are not applicable
to
the Servicer, which statement shall be based on the activities it performs
with
respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving
the
Servicer, that are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage
Loans.
(b) The
Servicer shall, or shall cause any Sub-Servicer and each subcontractor
determined by the Servicer to be “participating in the servicing function”
within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB to, deliver to the Trust
Administrator and the Depositor an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation
Report as and when provided above.
Such
Assessment of Compliance, as to any Sub-Servicer, shall at a minimum address
each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit C hereto which are indicated
as applicable to any “primary servicer.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, as to
any subcontractor, an Assessment of Compliance is not required to be delivered
unless it is required as part of a Form 10-K with respect to the Trust
Fund.
If
the
Servicer cannot deliver any Assessment of Compliance or Attestation Report
by
March 1st
of such
year, the Trust Administrator, at its sole option, may permit a cure period
for
the Servicer to deliver such Assessment of Compliance or Attestation Report,
but
in no event later than March 15th
of such
year.
Failure
of the Servicer to timely comply with this Section 3.21 shall be deemed a
Servicer Event of Default, and upon the receipt of written notice from the
Trust
Administrator of such Event of Default, the Trustee at the direction of the
Depositor may, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee may have under this
Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and
specific performance, upon notice immediately terminate all the rights and
obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage
Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same;
provided, however, the Depositor shall not be entitled to instruct the Trustee
to terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to clause
(iii)
above if a failure of the 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. This paragraph shall supercede
any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the
contrary.
The
Trust
Administrator shall also provide an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation
Report, as and when provided above, which shall at a minimum address each of
the
Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit C hereto which are indicated as
applicable to the “trust administrator.”
The
Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and the Trust
Administrator and their officers, directors and Affiliates from and against
any
actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary
legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses that such
Person may sustain based upon a breach of the Servicer’s obligations, as
applicable, under this Section 3.21.
| SECTION 3.22 |
Access
to Certain Documentation.
|
The
Servicer shall provide to the Depositor, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee
access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable
laws and regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only
upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of
the
Servicer designated by it. In addition, access to the documentation regarding
the Mortgage Loans required by applicable laws and regulations will be provided
to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator for purposes of any Person identified
as a Certificateholder or any federal or state banking or insurance
regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any Certificateholder
or a
prospective transferee of a Certificate or a subject to the execution of a
confidentiality agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Servicer,
upon reasonable request during normal business hours at the offices of the
Servicer designated by it at the expense of the Trustee or Trust Administrator.
Nothing in this Section 3.22 shall derogate from the obligation of any such
party to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information
regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of any such party to provide access
as
provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute
a
breach of this Section 3.22
| SECTION 3.23 |
Title,
Management and Disposition of REO
Property.
|
(a) The
deed
or certificate of sale of any REO Property shall be taken in the name of the
Trustee, or its nominee, in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
The
Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall either sell any REO Property before
the close of the third taxable year following the year the Trust Fund acquires
ownership of such REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code
or
request from the Internal Revenue Service, no later than 60 days before the
day
on which the above three-year grace period would otherwise expire, an extension
of the above three-year grace period, unless the Servicer shall have delivered
to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Depositor an Opinion of Counsel,
addressed to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Depositor, to the
effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to
the
close of the third taxable year after its acquisition will not result in the
imposition on the Trust Fund of taxes on “prohibited transactions” thereof, as
defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify
as a REMIC under Federal law at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.
The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property
for
the Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and
sale
in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as
“foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or
result in the receipt by any Trust REMIC of any “income from non-permitted
assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code, or any “net
income from foreclosure property” which is subject to taxation under the REMIC
Provisions.
(b) The
Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection
with the operation of any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds
and
general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to REO Properties
an account held in trust for the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders (the “REO Account”), which shall be an Eligible Account. The
Servicer shall be permitted to allow the Collection Account to serve as the
REO
Account, subject to separate ledgers for each REO Property. The Servicer shall
be entitled to retain or withdraw any interest income paid on funds deposited
in
the REO Account.
(c) The
Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the specific
requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in
connection with any REO Property as are consistent with the manner in which
the
Servicer manages and operates similar property owned by the Servicer or any
of
its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period as the Servicer deems
to
be in the best interests of Certificateholders. In connection therewith, the
Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited in the clearing account (which
account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments
and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing
activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than two Business Days after
the Servicer’s receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the REO Account,
in no event more than one Business Day after the deposit of such funds into
the
clearing account, all revenues received by it with respect to an REO Property
and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation,
management and maintenance of such REO Property including, without
limitation:
(i) all
insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such REO Property;
(ii) all
real
estate taxes and assessments in respect of such REO Property that may result
in
the imposition of a lien thereon; and
(iii) all
costs
and expenses necessary to maintain such REO Property.
To
the
extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account with respect to an REO
Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through
(iii) above with respect to such REO Property, the Servicer shall advance from
its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes if, but only if,
the
Servicer would make such advances if the Servicer owned the REO Property and
if
in the Servicer’s judgment, the payment of such amounts will be recoverable from
the rental or sale of the REO Property.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, none of the Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee
shall:
(i) authorize
the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with respect to
any
REO Property, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise to any income that
does not constitute Rents from Real Property;
(ii) authorize
any amount to be received or accrued under any New Lease other than amounts
that
will constitute Rents from Real Property;
(iii) authorize
any construction on any REO Property, other than the completion of a building
or
other improvement thereon, and then only if more than ten percent of the
construction of such building or other improvement was completed before default
on the related Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Section
856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or
(iv) authorize
any Person to Directly Operate any REO Property on any date more than 90 days
after its date of acquisition by the Trust Fund;
unless,
in any such case, the Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel, provided
to
the Trust Administrator and the Trustee, to the effect that such action will
not
cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any time that it is held by the
Trust Fund, in which case the Servicer may take such actions as are specified
in
such Opinion of Counsel.
The
Servicer may contract with any Independent Contractor for the operation and
management of any REO Property, provided that:
(i) the
terms
and conditions of any such contract shall not be inconsistent
herewith;
(ii) any
such
contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the
Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with
the operation and management of such REO Property, including those listed above
and remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Servicer
as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty days following the
receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;
(iii) none
of
the provisions of this Section 3.23(c) relating to any such contract or to
actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve
the Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the Trustee on behalf
of
the Certificateholders with respect to the operation and management of any
such
REO Property; and
(iv) the
Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the same extent as if it
alone were performing all duties and obligations in connection with the
operation and management of such REO Property.
The
Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Independent
Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations
hereunder for indemnification of the Servicer by such Independent Contractor,
and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it
to
any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of whether the Servicer’s
compensation pursuant to Section 3.18 is sufficient to pay such fees.
(d) In
addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section 3.23(c), the Servicer may
from time to time make withdrawals from the REO Account for any REO Property:
(i) to pay itself or any Sub-Servicer unpaid Servicing Fees in respect of the
related Mortgage Loan; and (ii) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for
unreimbursed Servicing Advances and P&I Advances made in respect of such REO
Property or the related Mortgage Loan. Any income from the related REO Property
received during any calendar months prior to a Final Recovery Determination,
net
of any withdrawals made pursuant to Section 3.23(c) or this Section 3.23(d),
shall be withdrawn by the Servicer from each REO Account maintained by it and
remitted to the Trust Administrator for deposit into the Distribution Account
in
accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii) on the Servicer Remittance Date relating
to
a Final Recovery Determination with respect to such Mortgage Loan, for
distribution on the related Distribution Date in accordance with Section
4.01.
(e) Subject
to the time constraints set forth in Section 3.23(a), and further subject to
obtaining the approval of the insurer under any related Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy (if and to the extent that such approvals are necessary to
make
claims under such policies in respect of the affected REO Property), each REO
Disposition shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price and upon such
terms and conditions as the Servicer shall deem necessary or advisable, as
shall
be normal and usual in its general servicing activities for similar
properties.
(f) The
proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any amount required by law to be
remitted to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan and net of any payment
or reimbursement to the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer as provided above, shall
be
remitted to the Trust Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account
in
accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii) on the Servicer Remittance Date in the
month
following the receipt thereof for distribution on the related Distribution
Date
in accordance with Section 4.01. Any REO Disposition shall be for cash only
(unless changes in the REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day
allow
a sale for other consideration).
(g) The
Servicer shall file information returns with respect to the receipt of mortgage
interest received in a trade or business, reports of foreclosures and
abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and cancellation of indebtedness income
with respect to any Mortgaged Property as required by Sections 6050H, 6050J
and
6050P of the Code, respectively. Such reports shall be in form and substance
sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by such Sections 6050H,
6050J and 6050P of the Code.
| SECTION 3.24 |
Obligations
of the Servicer in Respect of Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls.
|
The
Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Administrator for deposit into the
Distribution Account on the Servicer Remittance Date from its own funds (or
from
a Sub-Servicer’s own funds received by the Servicer in respect of Compensating
Interest) an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate of the Prepayment
Interest Shortfalls for the related Distribution Date resulting from full or
partial Principal Prepayments during the related Prepayment Period and (ii)
the
applicable Compensating Interest Payment.
| SECTION 3.25 |
Obligations
of the Servicer in Respect of Monthly
Payments.
|
In
the
event that a shortfall in any collection on or liability with respect to any
Mortgage Loan results from or is attributable to adjustments to Mortgage Rates,
Monthly Payments or Stated Principal Balances that were made by the Servicer
in
a manner not consistent with the terms of the related Mortgage Note and this
Agreement, the Servicer, upon discovery or receipt of notice thereof,
immediately shall deliver to the Trust Administrator for deposit in the
Distribution Account from its own funds the amount of any such shortfall and
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Depositor and any successor servicer in respect of any such
liability. Such indemnities shall survive the termination or discharge of this
Agreement. If amounts paid by the Servicer with respect to any Mortgage Loan
pursuant to this Section 3.25 are subsequently recovered from the related
Mortgagor, the Servicer shall be permitted to reimburse itself for such amounts
paid by it pursuant to this Section 3.25 from such recoveries.
| SECTION 3.26 |
Advance
Facility.
|
(a) Either
(i) the Servicer or (ii) the Trust Administrator, on behalf of the Trust Fund,
with the consent of and at the direction of the Servicer, is hereby authorized
to enter into a facility with any Person which provides that such Person (an
“Advancing Person”) may fund P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances to the
Trust Fund under this Agreement, although no such facility shall reduce or
otherwise affect the Servicer’s obligation to fund such P&I Advances and/or
Servicing Advances. If the Servicer enters into such an Advance Facility
pursuant to this Section 3.26, upon reasonable request of the Advancing Person,
the Trust Administrator shall execute a letter of acknowledgment, confirming
its
receipt of notice of the existence of such Advance Facility. If the Trust
Administrator enters into such an Advance Facility pursuant to this Section
3.26, the Servicer shall also be a party to such Advance Facility. To the extent
that an Advancing Person funds any P&I Advance or any Servicing Advance and
provides the Trust Administrator with notice acknowledged by the Servicer that
such Advancing Person is entitled to reimbursement, such Advancing Person shall
be entitled to receive reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement for such amount
to the extent provided in Section 3.26(b). Such notice from the Advancing Person
must specify the amount of the reimbursement, the Section of this Agreement
that
permits the applicable P&I Advance or Servicing Advance to be reimbursed and
the section(s) of the Advance Facility that entitle the Advancing Person to
request reimbursement from the Trust Administrator, rather than the Servicer,
and include the Servicer’s acknowledgment thereto or proof of an Event of
Default under the Advance Facility. The Trust Administrator shall have no duty
or liability with respect to any calculation of any reimbursement to be paid
to
an Advancing Person and shall be entitled to rely without independent
investigation on the Advancing Person’s notice provided pursuant to this Section
3.26. An Advancing Person whose obligations hereunder are limited to the funding
of P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances shall not be required to meet the
qualifications of a Servicer or a Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.02 hereof
and will not be deemed to be a Sub-Servicer under this Agreement.
(b) If
an
advancing facility is entered into, then the Servicer shall not be permitted
to
reimburse itself therefor under Section 3.11(a)(ii), Section 3.11(a)(iii) and
Section 3.11(a)(vi) prior to the remittance to the Trust Fund, but instead
the
Servicer shall include such amounts in the applicable remittance to the Trust
Administrator made pursuant to Section 3.11(a). The Trust Administrator is
hereby authorized to pay to the Advancing Person, reimbursements for P&I
Advances and Servicing Advances from the Distribution Account to the same extent
the Servicer would have been permitted to reimburse itself for such P&I
Advances and/or Servicing Advances in accordance with Section 3.11(a)(ii),
Section 3.11(a)(iii) and Section 3.11(a)(vi), as the case may be, had the
Servicer itself funded such P&I Advance or Servicing Advance. The Trust
Administrator is hereby authorized to pay directly to the Advancing Person
such
portion of the Servicing Fee as the parties to any advancing facility agree
in
writing.
(c) All
P&I Advances and Servicing Advances made pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement shall be deemed made and shall be reimbursed on a “first in-first out”
(FIFO) basis.
(d) Any
amendment to this Section 3.26 or to any other provision of this Agreement
that
may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an Advance Facility
as
described generally in this Section 3.26, including amendments to add provisions
relating to a successor servicer, may be entered into by the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator and the Servicer without the consent of any Certificateholder,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement.
| SECTION 3.27 |
PMI
Policy; Claims Under the PMI
Policy.
|
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Servicer shall not
take any action with respect to a Covered Mortgage Loan that could result in
denial of coverage under the PMI Policy. The Servicer shall, on behalf of the
Trustee, prepare and file on a timely basis with the PMI Insurer, all claims
which may be made under the PMI Policy with respect to the Covered Mortgage
Loans. Copies of any such claims will be provided to the Trustee and/or the
Trust Administrator if reasonably requested. Consistent with all rights and
obligations hereunder, the Servicer shall take all actions required under the
PMI Policy as a condition to the payment of any such claim. Any amount received
from the PMI Insurer with respect to any such Covered Mortgage Loan shall be
deposited by the Trust Administrator into the Collection Account in accordance
with Section 3.10(a). The Trust Administrator shall withdraw from the
Distribution Account on each Distribution Date and pay to the PMI Insurer the
PMI Insurer Fee in accordance with the terms of the PMI Policy.

the
Holders of REMIC I Regular Interests, in an amount equal to the remainder of
the

(c) to

(d) any
remaining amount to the Holders of the Class R Certificates (as Holder of the
Class R-I Interest).
(b) On
each
Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall withdraw any amounts then
on
deposit in the Distribution Account that represent Prepayment Charges collected
by the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer in connection with the Principal Prepayment
of any of the Mortgage Loans or any Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amount
and shall distribute such amounts to the Holders of the Class P Certificates.
Such distributions shall not be applied to reduce the Certificate Principal
Balance of the Class P Certificates.
Following
the foregoing distributions, an amount equal to the amount of Subsequent
Recoveries shall be applied to increase the Certificate Principal Balance of
the
Class of Certificates with the Highest Priority up to the extent of such
Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Certificates pursuant
to
Section 4.04. An amount equal to the amount of any remaining Subsequent
Recoveries shall be applied to increase the Certificate Principal Balance of
the
Class of Certificates with the next Highest Priority, up to the amount of such
Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Certificates pursuant
to
Section 4.04. Holders of such Certificates will not be entitled to any
distribution in respect of interest 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 to the Certificate Principal Balance
of each Certificate of such Class in accordance with its respective Percentage
Interest.
(c) All
distributions made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each
Distribution Date shall be allocated pro
rata
among
the outstanding Certificates in such Class based on their respective Percentage
Interests. Payments in respect of each Class of Certificates on each
Distribution Date will be made to the Holders of the respective Class of record
on the related Record Date (except as otherwise provided in Section 4.01(e)
or
Section 9.01 respecting the final distribution on such Class), based on the
aggregate Percentage Interest represented by their respective Certificates,
and
shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account
of
any such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities
therefor, if such Holder shall have so notified the Trust Administrator in
writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior
to such Distribution Date and with respect to any Class of Certificates other
than the Residual Certificates is the registered owner of Certificates having
an
initial aggregate Certificate Principal Balance that is in excess of the lesser
of (i) $5,000,000 or (ii) two-thirds of the initial Certificate Principal
Balance of such Class of Certificates, or otherwise by check mailed by first
class mail to the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register.
The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but
only
upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office
of the Trust Administrator or such other location specified in the notice to
Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Each
distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the
Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be responsible for
crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its Depository
Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each Depository
Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to the
Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating
brokerage firm (a “brokerage firm” or “indirect participating firm”) for which
it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds
to the Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Depositor or the Servicer shall have any responsibility
therefor except as otherwise provided by this Agreement or applicable
law.
(d) The
rights of the Certificateholders to receive distributions in respect of the
Certificates, and all interests of the Certificateholders in such distributions,
shall be as set forth in this Agreement. None of the Holders of any Class of
Certificates, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the
Servicer shall in any way be responsible or liable to the Holders of any other
Class of Certificates in respect of amounts properly previously distributed
on
the Certificates.
(e) Except
as
otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the Trust Administrator expects
that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates will
be
made on the next Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall, no later
than
five days after the latest related Determination Date, mail on such date to
each
Holder of such Class of Certificates a notice to the effect that:
(i) the
Trust
Administrator expects that the final distribution with respect to such Class
of
Certificates will be made on such Distribution Date, but only upon presentation
and surrender of such Certificates at the office of the Trust Administrator
therein specified, and
(ii) no
interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after the end of the related
Interest Accrual Period.
(iii) Any
funds
not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such
Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender
their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust by the
Trust Administrator and credited to the account of the appropriate non-tendering
Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given
pursuant to this Section 4.01(e) shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the
Trust Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order
to
receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after
the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trust Administrator shall, directly or through an agent,
mail
a final notice to remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning
surrender of their Certificates and shall continue to hold any remaining funds
for the benefit of non-tendering Certificateholders. The costs and expenses
of
maintaining the funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall
be paid out of the assets remaining in such trust fund. If within one year
after
the final notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trust Administrator shall pay to Citigroup Global Markets
Inc.
all such amounts, and all rights of non-tendering Certificateholders in or
to
such amounts shall thereupon cease. No interest shall accrue or be payable
to
any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust by the Trust Administrator
as
a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for
final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(e).
(f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, (i) in no event shall the Certificate Principal
Balance of a Class A Certificate or a Mezzanine Certificate be reduced more
than
once in respect of any particular amount allocated to such Certificate in
respect of Realized Losses pursuant to Section 4.04 and (ii) in no event shall
the Uncertificated Balance of a REMIC Regular Interest be reduced more than
once
in respect of any particular amount both (a) allocated to such REMIC Regular
Interest in respect of Realized Losses pursuant to Section 4.04 and (b)
distributed on such REMIC Regular Interest in reduction of the Uncertificated
Balance thereof pursuant to this Section 4.01.

For
all
purposes of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, delinquencies
shall be determined by the Trust Administrator from information provided by
the
Servicer and reported by the Trust Administrator based on the OTS methodology
for determining delinquencies on mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans.
By way of example, a Mortgage Loan would be delinquent with respect to a Monthly
Payment due on a Due Date if such Monthly Payment is not made by the close
of
business on the Mortgage Loan's next succeeding Due Date, and a Mortgage Loan
would be more than 30-days Delinquent with respect to such Monthly Payment
if
such Monthly Payment were not made by the close of business on the Mortgage
Loan’s second succeeding Due Date. The Servicer hereby represents and warrants
to the Depositor that the Servicer is not subject to any delinquency recognition
policy established by the primary safety and soundness regulator, if any, of
the
Servicer, that is more restrictive than the foregoing delinquency recognition
policy.
Within
a
reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Trust
Administrator shall forward to each Person (with a copy to the Trustee) who
at
any time during the calendar year was a Holder of a Regular Certificate a
statement containing the information set forth in subclauses (i) through (iii)
above, aggregated for such calendar year or applicable portion thereof during
which such person was a Certificateholder. Such obligation of the Trust
Administrator shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that
substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Trust
Administrator pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from time to time
are
in force.
On
each
Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall make available to the
Depositor, each Holder of a Residual Certificate, the Trustee, the Servicer
and
the Credit Risk Manager, a copy of the reports forwarded to the Regular
Certificateholders on such Distribution Date and a statement setting forth
the
amounts, if any, actually distributed with respect to the Residual Certificates,
respectively, on such Distribution Date.
Within
a
reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Trust
Administrator shall forward to each Person (with a copy to the Trustee) who
at
any time during the calendar year was a Holder of a Residual Certificate a
statement setting forth the amount, if any, actually distributed with respect
to
the Residual Certificates, as appropriate, aggregated for such calendar year
or
applicable portion thereof during which such Person was a Certificateholder.
Such obligation of the Trust Administrator shall be deemed to have been
satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be
provided by the Trust Administrator to such Holders pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Code as are in force from time to time.
Upon
request, the Trust
Administrator
shall
forward to each Certificateholder, during the term of this Agreement, such
periodic, special, or other reports or information, whether or not provided
for
herein, as shall be reasonable with respect to the Certificateholder, or
otherwise with respect to the purposes of this Agreement, all such reports
or
information to be provided at the expense of the Certificateholder in accordance
with such reasonable and explicit instructions and directions as the
Certificateholder may provide. For purposes of this Section 4.02, the Trust
Administrator’s duties are limited to the extent that the Trust Administrator
receives timely reports as required from the Servicer.
On
each
Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall provide Bloomberg Financial
Markets, L.P. (“Bloomberg”) on its website (1) CUSIP level factors for each
class of Certificates as of such Distribution Date and (2) the number and
aggregate unpaid principal balance of Mortgage Loans that are (a) delinquent
30
to 59 days, (b) delinquent 60 to 89 days, (c) delinquent 90 or more days in
each
case, as of the last day of the preceding calendar month, (d) as to which
foreclosure proceedings have been commenced and (e) with respect to which the
related Mortgagor has filed for protection under applicable bankruptcy laws,
with respect to whom bankruptcy proceedings are pending or with respect to
whom
bankruptcy protection is in force, in each case using a format and media
mutually acceptable to the Trust Administrator and Bloomberg.
For
each
Distribution Date, through and including the Distribution Date in December
2006,
the Trust Administrator shall calculate the Significance Percentage of the
Cap
Contract. If on any such Distribution Date, the Significance Percentage of
the
Cap Contract is equal to or greater than 10%, the Trust Administrator shall
promptly notify the Depositor and the Depositor shall file, by Form 10-D no
later than fifteen days following the related Distribution Date, the financial
statements of the Cap Provider as required by Item 1115 of Regulation AB.
| SECTION 4.03 |
Remittance
Reports; P&I Advances.
|
(a) No
later
than the Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trust
Administrator, in a mutually agreed upon electronic format (or by such other
means as the Servicer and the Trust Administrator may agree from time to time)
a
Remittance Report with respect to the related Distribution Date. The Trust
Administrator shall, on behalf of the Servicer, on such date furnish a copy
of
such Remittance Report to the Credit Risk Manager by such means as the Trust
Administrator shall agree from time to time. Such
Remittance Report will include such other information with respect to the
Mortgage Loans as the Trust Administrator may reasonably require to perform
the
calculations necessary to make the distributions contemplated by Section 4.01
and to prepare the statements to Certificateholders contemplated by Section
4.02. Neither
the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be responsible to recompute,
recalculate or verify any information provided to it by the
Servicer.
(b) With
respect to any Mortgage Loan on which a Monthly Payment was due during the
related Due Period and delinquent on the related Determination Date, the amount
of the Servicer's Advance will be equal to the excess, if any, of the Monthly
Payment (net of the related Servicing Fee) that would have been due on the
related Due Date in respect of the related Mortgage Loan, over the net income
from such REO Property deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section
3.23 for distribution on such Distribution Date. With respect to each REO
Property, which REO Property was acquired during or prior to the related
Prepayment Period and as to which such REO Property an REO Disposition did
not
occur during the related Prepayment Period, an amount equal to the excess,
if
any, of the Monthly Payment (net of the related Servicing Fee) that would have
been due on the related Due Date in respect of the related Mortgage Loan, over
the net income from such REO Property deposited in the Collection Account
pursuant to Section 3.23 for distribution on such Distribution
Date.
On
the
Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit in immediately available
funds to the Trust Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account an
amount equal to the aggregate amount of P&I Advances, if any, to be made in
respect of the Mortgage Loans for the related Distribution Date either (i)
from
its own funds or (ii) from the Collection Account, to the extent of funds held
therein for future distribution (in which case it will cause to be made an
appropriate entry in the records of the Collection Account that amounts held
for
future distribution have been, as permitted by this Section 4.03, used by the
Servicer in discharge of any such P&I Advance) or (iii) in the form of any
combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of P&I Advances to
be made by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Any amounts held
for
future distribution used by the Servicer to make a P&I Advance as permitted
in the preceding sentence shall be appropriately reflected in the Servicer’s
records and replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on
or
before any future Servicer Remittance Date to the extent that the Available
Distribution Amount for the related Distribution Date (determined without regard
to P&I Advances to be made on the Servicer Remittance Date) shall be less
than the total amount that would be distributed to the Certificateholders
pursuant to Section 4.01 on such Distribution Date if such amounts held for
future distributions had not been so used to make P&I Advances. The Trust
Administrator will provide notice to the Servicer by telecopy by the close
of
business on the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date in the event that
the amount remitted by the Servicer to the Trust Administrator on such date
is
less than the P&I Advances required to be made by the Servicer for the
related Distribution Date.
(c) The
obligation of the Servicer to make such P&I Advances is mandatory,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject to (d) below,
and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property, shall continue until
a
Final Recovery Determination in connection therewith or the removal thereof
from
the Trust Fund pursuant to any applicable provision of this Agreement, except
as
otherwise provided in this Section.
(d) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance or Servicing Advance shall
be required to be made hereunder by the Servicer if such P&I Advance or
Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, respectively. The determination by the
Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or a Nonrecoverable
Servicing Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance or Servicing Advance, if
made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable
Servicing Advance, respectively, shall be evidenced by a certification of a
Servicing Officer delivered to the Trust Administrator (whereupon, upon receipt
of such certification, the Trust Administrator shall forward a copy of such
certification to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Credit Risk Manager).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if following the application of Liquidation
Proceeds on any Mortgage Loan that was the subject of a Final Recovery
Determination, any Servicing Advance with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall
remain unreimbursed to the Servicer, then without limiting the provisions of
Section 3.11(a), a certification of a Servicing Officer regarding such
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall not be required to be delivered by the
Servicer to the Trust Administrator.
| SECTION 4.04 |
Allocation
of Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses and Realized
Losses.
|
(a) Prior
to
each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall determine as to each Mortgage Loan
and REO Property: (i) the total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred
in
connection with any Final Recovery Determinations made during the related
Prepayment Period; (ii) whether and the extent to which such Realized Losses
constituted Bankruptcy Losses; and (iii) the respective portions of such
Realized Losses allocable to interest and allocable to principal. Prior to
each
Distribution Date, the Servicer shall also determine as to each Mortgage Loan:
(A) the total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with
any
Deficient Valuations made during the related Prepayment Period; and (B) the
total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with Debt
Service Reductions in respect of Monthly Payments due during the related Due
Period. The information described in the two preceding sentences that is to
be
supplied by the Servicer shall be either included in the related Remittance
Report or evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trust
Administrator and the Trustee by the Servicer prior to the Determination Date
immediately following the end of (x) in the case of Bankruptcy Losses allocable
to interest, the Due Period during which any such Realized Loss was incurred,
and (y) in the case of all other Realized Losses, the Prepayment Period during
which any such Realized Loss was incurred.
(b) All
Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Trust
Administrator on each Distribution Date as follows: first, to the Interest
Distribution Amount for the Class CE Certificates for the related Interest
Accrual Period; second, to payments received under the Cap Contract, third,
to
the Class CE Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof
has
been reduced to zero; fourth, to the Class M-11 Certificates, until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, fifth, to the
Class M-10 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has
been reduced to zero, sixth, to the Class M-9 Certificates until the Certificate
Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; seventh, to the Class M-8
Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced
to zero; eighth, to the Class M-7 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; ninth, to the Class M-6 Certificates,

| SECTION 4.05 |
Compliance
with Withholding Requirements.
|
Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Trust Administrator shall comply
with
all federal withholding requirements respecting payments to Certificateholders
of interest or original issue discount that the Trust Administrator reasonably
believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders shall
not be required for such withholding. In the event the Trust Administrator
does
withhold any amount from interest or original issue discount payments or
advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding
requirements, the Trust Administrator shall indicate the amount withheld to
such
Certificateholders.
| SECTION 4.06 |
Net
WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.
|
(a) No
later
than the Closing Date, the Trust Administrator shall establish and maintain
a
separate, segregated trust account titled, “Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account, Citibank, N.A., as Trust Administrator, in trust for the registered
holders of Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust, Asset-Backed Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2006-WFHE3.” The Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account
will be an “outside reserve fund” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.860G-2(h).
(b) On
each
Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator has been directed by the Class CE
Certificateholders to, and therefore shall, deposit into the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account, any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts for such
Distribution Date, rather than distributing such amounts to the Class CE
Certificateholders. On each such Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator
shall hold all such amounts for the benefit of the Holders of the Floating
Rate
Certificates, and shall distribute the aggregate Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount,
if any, for such Distribution Date from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account to the Holders of the Floating Rate Certificates in the amounts and
priorities set forth in Section 4.01(g).
On
each
Distribution Date, after the payment of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts
on
the Floating Rate Certificates, any amounts remaining in the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account, shall be payable to the Trust Administrator as
additional compensation to it, subject to the immediately following
paragraph.
(c) It
is the
intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and state
and
local franchise tax purposes, the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account be
disregarded as an entity separate from the Holder of the Class CE Certificates
unless and until the date when either (a) there is more than one Class CE
Certificateholder or (b) any Class of Certificates in addition to the Class
CE
Certificates is recharacterized as an equity interest in the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account for federal income tax purposes, in which case it
is
the intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and
state
and local franchise tax purposes, the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account
be
treated as a partnership. All amounts deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC II to the
Holder of the Class CE Interest and by REMIC III to the Holder of the Class
CE
Certificates. Upon the termination of the Trust Fund, or the payment in full
of
the Floating Rate Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Net
WAC
Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall be released by the Trust Fund and
distributed to the Class CE Certificateholders or their designees. The Net
WAC
Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall be part of the Trust Fund but not part
of
any Trust REMIC and any payments to the Holders of the Floating Rate
Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts will not be payments with respect
to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section
860(G)(a)(1).
(d) By
accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE Certificateholder hereby agrees
to direct the Trust Administrator, and the Trust Administrator is hereby is
directed, to deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account the amounts
described above on each Distribution Date rather than distributing such amounts
to the Class CE Certificateholders. By accepting a Class CE Certificate, each
Class CE Certificateholder further agrees that such direction is given for
good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged
by such acceptance.
(e) All
amounts on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall remain
uninvested.
(f) For
federal tax return and information reporting, the right of the Holders of the
Floating Rate Certificates to receive payments from the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account in respect of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount shall be
assigned a value of zero.
| SECTION 4.07 |
Commission
Reporting.
|

Within 10 days after each Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall,
in
accordance with industry standards, file with the Commission via the Electronic

Distribution Date. Any disclosure in addition to the monthly statement required
to be included on the Form 10-D (“Additional Form 10-D Disclosure”) shall be
determined and prepared by the entity that is indicated in Exhibit B as the
responsible party for providing that information, and the Trust Administrator
will have no duty or liability to verify the accuracy or sufficiency of any
such
Additional Form 10-D Disclosure and the Trust Administrator shall have no
liability with respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such Form
10-D
resulting from or relating to the Trust Administrator’s inability or failure to
obtain any information in a timely manner from the party responsible for
delivery of such Additional Form 10-D Disclosure.
Within
5

the
initial Form 8-K in connection with the issuance of the Certificates, which

related to a Reportable Event or that is otherwise required to be included
on
Form 8-K (“Form 8-K Disclosure Information”) shall be determined and prepared by
the entity that is indicated in Exhibit B as the responsible party for providing
that information. The Trust Administrator shall not be responsible for determing
what information is required to be filed on Form 8-K or for any filing that
is
not made on a timely basis in accordance with Regulation AB in the event that
such information is not delivered to the Trust Adminsitrator on or prior to
the
fourth Business Day prior to the applicable filing deadline.
For
so
long as the Trust is subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, no
later than the end of business on the second Business Day after the occurrence
of a Reportable Event, the entity that is indicated in Exhibit B as the
responsible party for providing Form 8-K Disclosure Information shall be

a
Form 15 Suspension Notice shall have been filed, March 31 of each year
thereafter, the Trust Administrator shall file a Form 10-K, in substance as

staff’s interpretations and conforming to industry standards, with respect to
the Trust Fund. Such Form 10-K shall include the Assessment of Compliance,

The
Trust Administrator shall compile the information provided to it, prepare the

Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case
may
be, the Form 10-K by no later than March 25th
of the
relevant year (or the immediately preceding Business Day if March 25th
is not a

The
Trust
Administrator shall sign a certification (in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit H-2) for the benefit of the Depositor and its officers, directors
and Affiliates in respect of items 1 through 3 of the Certification (the “Trust
Administrator Certification”) (provided, however, that the Trust Administrator
shall not undertake an analysis of the Attestation Report attached as an exhibit
to the Form 10-K), and the Servicer shall sign a certification (the “Servicer
Certification) solely with respect to the Servicer (in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit H-3) for the benefit of the Depositor, the Trust Administrator
and each Person, if any, who “controls” the Depositor or the Trust Administrator
within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and their
respective officers and directors. Each such certification shall be delivered

addition, (A) the Trust Administrator shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any actual
losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal

pursuant to Section 3.21 or (iii) any information correctly derived by the
Trust
Administrator and included in a Form 10-D or Form 10-K from information provided
to the Trust Administrator by the Servicer under this Agreement. If the
indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold
harmless the Depositor, then (i) the Trust Administrator agrees that it shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Depositor as a result of the
losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Depositor in such proportion
as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor on the one hand
and
the Trust Administrator on the other and (ii) the Servicer agrees that it shall

Trust Administrator be liable for any consequential, indirect or punitive
damages.
| SECTION 4.08 |
Cap
Account
|
(a) No
later
than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain with itself
or
the Cap Administrator, a separate, segregated trust account titled, “U.S. Bank
National Association, as Cap Trustee, in trust for the registered holders of
Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust 2006-WFHE3, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series
2006-WFHE3—Cap Account.” Such account shall be an Eligible Account and amounts
therein shall be held uninvested.
(b) Prior
to
each Distribution Date, pursuant to the Cap Administration Agreement, prior
to
any distribution to any Certificate, the Cap Administrator on behalf of the
Cap
Trustee shall deposit into the Cap Account amounts received by it under the
Cap
Contract, for distribution in accordance with Section 4.01(a)(6) above.
(c) It
is the
intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and state
and
local franchise tax purposes, the Cap Account be disregarded as an entity
separate from the Holder of the Class CE Certificates unless and until the
date
when either (a) there is more than one Class CE Certificateholder or (b) any
Class of Certificates in addition to the Class CE Certificates is
recharacterized as an equity interest in the Cap Account for federal income
tax
purposes, in which case it is the intention of the parties hereto that, for
federal and state income and state and local franchise tax purposes, the Cap
Account be treated as a partnership. Upon the termination of the Trust Fund,
or
the payment in full of the Floating Rate Certificates, all amounts remaining
on
deposit in the Cap Account shall be released by the Trust Fund and distributed
to the Class CE Certificateholders or their designees. The Cap Account shall
be
part of the Trust Fund but not part of any Trust REMIC and any payments to
the
Holders of the Floating Rate Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts
will
not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the
meaning of Code Section 860(G)(a)(1).
By
accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE Certificateholder hereby agrees
to direct the Trust Administrator, and the Trust Administrator is hereby
directed, to deposit into the Cap Account the amounts described above on each
Distribution Date.
Upon
an
early termination of the Cap Contract other than in connection with the optional
termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the Cap Trustee will use reasonable efforts to appoint a successor
cap contract provider. The Cap Administrator on behalf of the Cap Trustee will
apply any Cap Contract Termination Payment received from the original Cap
Provider in connection with such early termination of the Cap Contract to the
upfront payment required to appoint the successor cap contract provider. If
the
Cap Trustee is unable to appoint a successor cap contract provider within 30
days of the Cap Contract Early Termination, then the cap trustee will establish,
and will deposit any Cap Termination Payment received from the original Cap
Provider into, a separate, non-interest bearing reserve account (a “Cap
Termination Reserve Account”) and will, on each subsequent distribution date,
withdraw from the amount then remaining on deposit in such reserve account
an
amount equal to the payment, if any, that would have been paid to the trust
administrator by the original Cap Provider calculated in accordance with the
terms of the original Cap Contract, and distribute such amount in accordance
with Section 3(a) and the Cap Administration Agreement.
Upon
a
Cap Contract Early Termination in connection with the optional termination
of
the trust, if the Cap Trustee or the Cap Administrator on its behalf receives
a
Cap Contract Termination Payment from the Cap Provider, such Cap Contract
Termination Payment will be distributed in accordance with the terms of the
Cap
Administration Agreement.
ARTICLE
V
THE
CERTIFICATES
| SECTION 5.01 |
The
Certificates.
|
(a) The
Certificates in the aggregate will represent the entire beneficial ownership
interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other assets included in the Trust Fund.
At the Closing Date, the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the
Certificates will equal the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans.
The
Certificates will be substantially in the forms annexed hereto as Exhibits
A-1
through A-6. The Certificates of each Class will be issuable in registered
form
only, in denominations of authorized Percentage Interests as described in the
definition thereof. Each Certificate will share ratably in all rights of the
related Class.
Upon
original issue, the Certificates shall be executed, authenticated and delivered
by the Trust Administrator to or upon the order of the Depositor. The
Certificates shall be executed and attested by manual or facsimile signature
on
behalf of the Trust Administrator by an authorized signatory. Certificates
bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time
the proper officers of the Trust Administrator shall bind the Trust
Administrator, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased
to hold such offices prior to the execution, authentication and delivery of
such
Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificates.
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 herein executed by the Trust
Administrator by manual signature, and such certificate of authentication 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.
(b) The
Book-Entry Certificates shall initially be issued as one or more Certificates
held by Book-Entry Custodian or, if appointed to hold such Certificates as
provided below, the Depository and registered in the name of the Depository
or
its nominee and, except as provided below, registration of such Certificates
may
not be transferred by the Trust Administrator except to another Depository
that
agrees to hold such Certificates for the respective Certificate Owners with
Ownership Interests therein. The Certificate Owners shall hold their respective
Ownership Interests in and to such Certificates through the book-entry
facilities of the Depository and, except as provided below, shall not be
entitled to definitive, fully registered Certificates (“Definitive
Certificates”) in respect of such Ownership Interests. All transfers by
Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry
Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by
the
Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner.
Each Depository Participant shall only transfer the Ownership Interests in
the
Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage
firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s normal
procedures. The Trust Administrator is hereby initially appointed as the
Book-Entry Custodian and hereby agrees to act as such in accordance herewith
and
in accordance with the agreement that it has with the Depository authorizing
it
to act as such. The Book-Entry Custodian may, and if it is no longer qualified
to act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian shall, appoint, by a written instrument
delivered to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trust Administrator and any
other transfer agent (including the Depository or any successor Depository)
to
act as Book-Entry Custodian under such conditions as the predecessor Book-Entry
Custodian and the Depository or any successor Depository may prescribe, provided
that the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian shall not be relieved of any of its
duties or responsibilities by reason of any such appointment of other than
the
Depository. If the Trust Administrator resigns or is removed in accordance
with
the terms hereof, the successor Trust Administrator or, if it so elects, the
Depository shall immediately succeed to its predecessor’s duties as Book-Entry
Custodian. The Depositor shall have the right to inspect, and to obtain copies
of, any Certificates held as Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry
Custodian.
The
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Servicer and the Depositor may for all
purposes (including the making of payments due on the Book-Entry Certificates)
deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the Certificate
Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates for the purposes of
exercising the rights of Certificateholders hereunder. The rights of Certificate
Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates shall be limited to those
established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the
Depository Participants and brokerage firms representing such Certificate
Owners. Multiple requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository
as
Holder of the Book-Entry Certificates with respect to any particular matter
shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different
Certificate Owners. The Trust Administrator may establish a reasonable record
date in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by
Certificateholders and shall give notice to the Depository of such record
date.
If
(i)(A)
the Depositor advises the Trust Administrator in writing that the Depository
is
no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as
Depository, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor
or
(ii) after the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default, Certificate Owners
representing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the Ownership Interests
of
the Book-Entry Certificates advise the Trust Administrator through the
Depository, in writing, that the continuation of a book-entry system through
the
Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners, the
Trust Administrator shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository,
of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive
Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the
Trust Administrator of the Book- Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian
or the Depository, as applicable, accompanied by registration instructions
from
the Depository for registration of transfer, the Trust Administrator shall
issue
the Definitive Certificates. Such Definitive Certificates will be issued in
minimum denominations of $25,000, except that any beneficial ownership that
was
represented by a Book-Entry Certificate in an amount less than $25,000
immediately prior to the issuance of a Definitive Certificate shall be issued
in
a minimum denomination equal to the amount represented by such Book-Entry
Certificate. None of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator nor
the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in the 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 Depository shall be deemed
to be imposed upon and performed by the Trust Administrator, to the extent
applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates, and the Trust
Administrator shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as
Certificateholders hereunder.
| SECTION 5.02 |
Registration
of Transfer and Exchange of
Certificates.
|
(a) The
Trust
Administrator shall cause to be kept at one of the offices or agencies to be
appointed by the Trust Administrator in accordance with the provisions of
Section 8.12 a Certificate Register for the Certificates in which, subject
to
such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trust Administrator shall
provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges
of
Certificates as herein provided.
(b) No
transfer of any Private Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and effective registration or qualification
under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does
not require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a
transfer of a Private Certificate is to be made without registration or
qualification (other than in connection with (i) the initial transfer of any
such Certificate by the Depositor to an Affiliate of the Depositor or, in the
case of the Residual Certificates, the first transfer by an Affiliate of the
Depositor or the first transfer by the initial transferree of an Affiliate
of
the Depositor, (ii) the transfer of any such Class CE, Class P or Residual
Certificate to the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee or
indenture trustee administrator under the Indenture or (iii) a transfer of
any
such Class CE, Class P or Residual Certificate from the issuer under the
Indenture or the indenture trustee or indenture trustee administrator under
the
Indenture to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor), the Trustee shall
require receipt of: (i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance
upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications from the
Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and from such
Certificateholder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached
hereto as Exhibit F-1; and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such registration
(which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the
Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Servicer, in its capacity
as such, or any Sub-Servicer), together with copies of the written
certification(s) of the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and/or
such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of
Counsel is based, if any. None of the Depositor, the Trust Administrator or
the
Trustee is obligated to register or qualify any such Certificates under the
1933
Act or any other securities laws or to take any action not otherwise required
under this Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without
registration or qualification. Any Certificateholder desiring to effect the
transfer of any such Certificate shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify
the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor and the Servicer against any
liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in
accordance with such federal and state laws.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event of any such transfer of any Ownership Interest
in
any Private Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate, except with respect
to
the initial transfer of any such Ownership Interest by the Depositor, such
transfer shall be required to be made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the
1933
Act, and the transferee will be deemed to have made each of the transferee
representations and warranties set forth Exhibit F-1 hereto in respect of such
interest as if it was evidenced by a Definitive Certificate. The Certificate
Owner of any such Ownership Interest in any such Book-Entry Certificate desiring
to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee
and the Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is
not
so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state
laws.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no certification or Opinion of Counsel described in this Section
5.02(b) will be required in connection with the transfer, on the Closing Date,
of any Residual Certificate by the Depositor to an “accredited investor” within
the meaning of Rule 501(d) of the 1933 Act.
No
transfer of a Private Certificate or any interest therein shall be made to
any
Plan, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan
or
any Person acquiring such Certificates with “Plan Assets” of a Plan within the
meaning of the Department of Labor regulation promulgated at 29 C.F.R.§
2510.3-101 (“Plan Assets”), as certified by such transferee in the form of
Exhibit G, unless the Trust Administrator is provided with an Opinion of Counsel
on which the Trust Administrator, the Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer
may rely, to the effect that the purchase of such Certificates is permissible
under ERISA and the Code, will not constitute or result in any non-exempt
prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not
subject the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or
the
Trust Fund to any obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities
under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in
this
Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor,
the Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Trust Fund. Neither
a
certification nor an Opinion of Counsel will be required in connection with
(i)
the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an Affiliate
of
the Depositor or, in the case of the Residual Certificates, the first transfer
by an Affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the transfer of any such Class CE, Class
P or Residual Certificate to the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture
trustee under the Indenture or (iii) a transfer of any such Class CE, Class
P or
Residual Certificate from the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture
trustee under the Indenture to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor
(in which case, the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof shall have deemed to
have
represented that such Affiliate is not a Plan or a Person investing Plan Assets)
and the Trust Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a
representation (which, upon the request of the Trust Administrator, shall be
a
written representation) from the Depositor of the status of such transferee
as
an affiliate of the Depositor.
Each
beneficial owner of a Mezzanine Certificate or any interest therein that is
acquired after the termination of the Supplemental Interest Trust shall be
deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of that
Certificate or interest therein, that either (i) it is not a Plan or a person
using assets of a Plan, (ii) other than for a Class M-11 Certificate, it has
acquired and is holding such Certificate in reliance on the Exemption, and
that
it understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of the
Exemption, including that the Certificate must be rated, at the time of
purchase, not lower than “BBB-” (or its equivalent) by S&P, Fitch Ratings or
Xxxxx’x and the Certificate is so rated or (iii) (1) it is an insurance company,
(2) the source of funds used to acquire or hold the Certificate or interest
therein is an “insurance company general account”, as such term is defined in
PTCE 95-60, and (3) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have
been
satisfied.
If
any
Certificate or any interest therein is acquired or held in violation of the
provisions of the preceding three paragraphs, the next preceding permitted
beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner of that Certificate
retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial owner. Any
purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of any such Certificate
or interest therein was effected in violation of the provisions of the preceding
three paragraphs shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Servicer,
the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Trust Fund from and against any
and
all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by those parties as a result
of that acquisition or holding.
(c) (i)
Each
Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest
to
have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to have irrevocably
authorized the Trust Administrator or its designee under clause (iii)(A) below
to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and to negotiate the
terms of any mandatory sale under clause (iii)(B) below and to execute all
instruments of Transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection
with
any such sale. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in
a
Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following
provisions:
(A) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trust
Administrator of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted
Transferee.
(B) In
connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate, the Trust Administrator shall require delivery to it and shall
not
register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate until its receipt of an
affidavit and agreement (a “Transfer Affidavit and Agreement”), in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit F-2, from the proposed Transferee, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Trust Administrator, representing and warranting,
among other things, that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee, that it
is
not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate that is the
subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person
that is not a Permitted Transferee, that for so long as it retains its Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted
Transferee, and that it has reviewed the provisions of this Section 5.02(d)
and
agrees to be bound by them.
(C) Notwithstanding
the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee
under clause (B) above, if a Responsible Officer of the Trust Administrator
who
is assigned to this transaction has actual knowledge that the proposed
Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be
effected.
(D) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement from any other
Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate and (y) not to transfer its Ownership Interest unless
it
provides a transferor affidavit (a “Transferor Affidavit”), in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit F-2, to the Trust Administrator stating that, among other
things, it has no actual knowledge that such other Person is not a Permitted
Transferee.
(E) Each
Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate,
by
purchasing an Ownership Interest in such Certificate, agrees to give the Trust
Administrator written notice that it is a “pass-through interest holder” within
the meaning of temporary Treasury regulation Section 1.67- 3T(a)(2)(i)(A)
immediately upon acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate,
if
it is, or is holding an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate on behalf
of, a “pass-through interest holder.”
(ii) The
Trust
Administrator will register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate only if
it
shall have received the Transfer Affidavit and Agreement and all of such other
documents as shall have been reasonably required by the Trust Administrator
as a
condition to such registration. In addition, no Transfer of a Residual
Certificate shall be made unless the Trust Administrator shall have received
a
representation letter from the Transferee of such Certificate to the effect
that
such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee.
(iii) (A)
If any
purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in
violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(d), then the last preceding
Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to
all
rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such
Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Trust Administrator 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 5.02(d) or for making
any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking any
other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this
Agreement.
(B) If
any
purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in
violation of the restrictions in this Section 5.02(d) and to the extent that
the
retroactive restoration of the rights of the Holder of such Residual Certificate
as described in clause (iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, then the Trust Administrator shall have the right, without notice
to the Holder or any prior Holder of such Residual Certificate, to sell such
Residual Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Trust Administrator on
such
terms as the Trust Administrator may choose. Such purported Transferee shall
promptly endorse and deliver each Residual Certificate in accordance with the
instructions of the Trust Administrator. Such purchaser may be the Trust
Administrator itself or any Affiliate of the Trust Administrator. The proceeds
of such sale, net of the commissions (which may include commissions payable
to
the Trust Administrator or its Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any,
will
be remitted by the Trust Administrator to such purported Transferee. The terms
and conditions of any sale under this clause (iii)(B) shall be determined in
the
sole discretion of the Trust Administrator, and the Trust Administrator shall
not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.
(iv) The
Trust
Administrator shall make available to the Internal Revenue Service and those
Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions all information necessary to compute
any tax imposed (A) as a result of the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in
a
Residual Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified Organization, including
the information described in Treasury regulations sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and
1.860E-2(a)(5) with respect to the “excess inclusions” of such Residual
Certificate and (B) as a result of any regulated investment company, real estate
investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust, estate or organization
described in Section 1381 of the Code that holds an Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate having as among its record holders at any time any Person
which is a Disqualified Organization. Reasonable compensation for providing
such
information may be accepted by the Trust Administrator.
(v) The
provisions of this Section 5.02(d) set forth prior to this subsection (v) may
be
modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there shall have been delivered
to the Trust Administrator at the expense of the party seeking to modify, add
to
or eliminate any such provision the following:
(A) written
notification from the Rating Agencies to the effect that the modification,
addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause the Rating Agencies
to downgrade its then-current ratings of any Class of Certificates;
and
(B) an
Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trust
Administrator, to the effect that such modification of, addition to or
elimination of such provisions will not cause any Trust REMIC to cease to
qualify as a REMIC and will not cause (x) any Trust REMIC to be subject to
an
entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of any Residual Certificate to a Person
that is not a Permitted Transferee or (y) a Person other than the prospective
transferee to be subject to a REMIC-tax caused by the Transfer of a Residual
Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.
(d) Subject
to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for registration of transfer of
any
Certificate at any office or agency of the Trust Administrator maintained for
such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12, the Trust Administrator shall execute,
authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated Transferee or
Transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class of a like aggregate
Percentage Interest.
(e) At
the
option of the Holder thereof, any Certificate may be exchanged for other
Certificates of the same Class with authorized denominations and a like
aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of such Certificate to be
exchanged at any office or agency of the Trust Administrator maintained for
such
purpose pursuant to Section 8.12. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered
for exchange, upon notice from the Trust Administrator, the Trust Administrator
shall execute, authenticate and deliver, the Certificates which the
Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate
presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by
the
Trust Administrator) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Trust Administrator
duly
executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
In
addition, (i) with respect to each Class R Certificate, the Holder thereof
may
exchange, in the manner described above, such Class R Certificate for three
separate Certificates, each representing such Holder’s respective Percentage
Interest in the Class R-I Interest, the Class R-II Interest and the Class R-III
Interest that was evidenced by the Class R Certificate being exchanged and
(ii)
with respect to each Class R-X Certificate, the Holder thereof may exchange,
in
the manner described above, such Class R-X Certificate for three separate
Certificates, each representing such Holder’s respective Percentage Interest in
the Class R-IV Interest, the Class R-V Interest and the Class R-VI Interest,
respectively, in each case that was evidenced by the Class R-X Certificate
being
exchanged.
(f) No
service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any transfer or
exchange of Certificates, but the Trust Administrator may require payment of
a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed
in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
(g) All
Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be canceled and
destroyed by the Trust Administrator in accordance with its customary
procedures.
| SECTION 5.03 |
Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen
Certificates.
|
If
(i)
any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trust Administrator, or the
Trust Administrator receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee
and
the Trust Administrator such security or indemnity as may be required by them
to
save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of actual knowledge by the
Trust Administrator that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Trust Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver,
in
exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate, a new Certificate of the same Class and of like denomination and
Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this
Section, the Trust Administrator may require the payment of a sum sufficient
to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation
thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trust
Administrator) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant
to this Section shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership
in the applicable REMIC created hereunder, as if originally issued, whether
or
not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any
time.
| SECTION 5.04 |
Persons
Deemed Owners.
|
The
Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and any agent
of
any of them may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered
as
the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions
pursuant to Section 4.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of
the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or any agent
of
any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed by this Agreement and
undertaken hereunder by the Depositor herein.
| SECTION 6.02 |

|
Subject
to the following paragraph, the Depositor will keep in full effect its
existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the

The

or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, in which
case
any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Depositor
or
the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of
the
Depositor or the Servicer, shall be the successor of the Depositor or the
Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of
any
paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor
or
surviving Person to the Servicer shall be qualified to service mortgage loans
on
behalf of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac; and provided further that the Rating
Agencies’ ratings of the Floating Rate Certificates in effect immediately prior
to such merger or consolidation will not be qualified, reduced or withdrawn

| SECTION 6.03 |
Limitation
on Liability of the Depositor, the Servicer and
Others.
|
None
of
the Depositor, the Servicer (and any Sub-Servicer) or any of the directors,
officers, employees or agents of the Depositor or the Servicer (and any
Sub-Servicer) shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the
Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of
any
action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement or the related Sub-Servicing
Agreement, as applicable, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that
this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Servicer (and any
Sub-Servicer) or any such person against any breach of warranties,
representations or covenants made herein, or against any specific liability
imposed on the Servicer (and any Sub-Servicer) pursuant hereto or the related
Sub-Servicing Agreement, as applicable, or against any liability which would
otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence
in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations
and duties hereunder or the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, as applicable.
The
Depositor, the Servicer (and any Sub-Servicer) and any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Depositor or the Servicer may rely in good faith on
any
document of any kind which, prima

is
properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising

agent
of the Depositor or the Servicer (and any Sub-Servicer) shall be indemnified
and
held harmless by the Trust Fund against (i) any loss, liability or expense

applicable, or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties
hereunder or the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, as applicable, and (ii) any
breach of a representation or warranty regarding the Mortgage Loans. None of
the
Depositor or the Servicer (and any Sub-Servicer) shall be under any obligation
to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action is related
to its respective duties under this Agreement or the related Sub-Servicing
Agreement, as applicable, and, in its opinion, does not involve it in any
expense or liability; provided, however, that each of the Depositor and the
Servicer (and any Sub-Servicer) may in its discretion undertake any such action
which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement or
the
related Sub-Servicing Agreement, as applicable, and the rights and duties of
the
parties hereto or to the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, as applicable, and
the
interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, unless the
Depositor or the Servicer (and any Sub-Servicer) acts without the consent of
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights (which
consent shall not be necessary in the case of litigation or other legal action
by either to enforce their respective rights or defend themselves hereunder
or
the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, as applicable), the legal expenses and
costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom (except any loss,

Limitation
on Resignation of the Servicer.
|
The
Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on
it
except (i) upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer
permissible under applicable law or (ii) with the written consent of the Trustee
and the Trust Administrator, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld,
with written confirmation from the Rating Agencies (which confirmation shall
be
furnished to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator) that such
resignation will not cause the Rating Agencies to reduce the then current rating
of the Class A Certificates and provided that a qualified successor has agreed
to assume
