THIS POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of January 1, 2008
(this "Agreement"), is hereby executed by and between BCAP LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (the "Depositor"), XXXXX FARGO BANK, N.A., as
securities administrator (in such capacity, the "Securities Administrator") and
as master servicer (in such capacity, the "Master Servicer"), DEUTSCHE BANK
NATIONAL TRUST COMPANY, as custodian (the "Custodian") and HSBC BANK USA,
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as trustee (the "Trustee").
W I T N E S S E T H:
- - - - - - - - - -
In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the
parties hereto agree as follows:
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee shall elect
that two segregated asset pools within the Trust Fund (exclusive of (i) the
Carryover Shortfall Reserve Fund Account, (ii) the Prepayment Premiums, (iii)
late payment fees, and (iv) the right of the Principal Certificates to receive
Carryover Shortfall Amounts) be treated for federal income tax purposes as
comprising two REMICs (each, a "Trust REMIC" or, in the alternative, the Lower
Tier REMIC and the Upper Tier REMIC, respectively). The Startup Day for each
Trust REMIC is the Closing Date. The latest possible maturity date for each
Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interest and each Upper Tier REMIC Regular Interest is
the latest date referenced in Section 2.04.
Each Class of Principal Certificates (other than the right of each
Class of Principal Certificates to receive Carryover Shortfall Amounts) and the
Class A-X Certificates (subject to the obligation to pay Carryover Shortfall
Amounts), represents ownership of a regular interest in the Upper Tier REMIC for
purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The Class A-R Certificates represent ownership
of the sole Class of residual interest in each of the Lower Tier REMIC and the
Upper Tier REMIC.
For federal income tax purposes, each Class of Principal
Certificates, the Class X Certificates, the Class P Certificates and the Class L
Certificates represent beneficial ownership of portions of the Trust Fund, which
shall be treated as a grantor trust as more fully described in this Preliminary
Statement.
Lower Tier REMIC
The Lower Tier REMIC will hold as assets the Mortgage Loans. The
Lower Tier REMIC shall issue the following interests, and each such interest,
other than the Class LT-A-R Interest, is hereby designated as a regular interest
in the Lower Tier REMIC (the "Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests"). The Class
LT-A-R Interest is hereby designated as the sole Class of residual interest in
the Lower Tier REMIC and shall be represented by the Class A-R Certificates.

(1) The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date for these interests
is a per annum variable rate equal to the Lower Tier REMIC Net WAC Rate.
(2) The Class LT Accrual-1 Interest has an initial Lower-Tier Principal Amount
equal to 99% of the aggregate of the initial Class Certificate Balance of
the Class A Certificates (other than the Class A-X Certificates). The Class
LT Accrual-2 Interest has an initial Lower-Tier Principal Amount equal to
99% of the aggregate of the initial Class Certificate Balance of the
Subordinate Certificates. Allocations of principal, Realized Losses and Net
Deferred Interest will be allocated as described below.
(3) The Class LT-AR Interest is the sole Class of residual interest in the Lower
Tier REMIC and it does not have a principal amount or an interest rate.
(4) For all Distribution Dates, the Lower Tier Principal Amount of these Lower
Tier REMIC Regular Interests shall be expressed to eight decimal places.
The Class LT-A-1, Class LT-A-2, Class LT-A-3, Class LT-B-1, Class
LT-B-2, Class LT-B-3, Class LT-B-4, Class LT-B-5, Class LT-B-6 and Class LT-UTAR
Interests are hereby designated the LT Accretion Directed Classes (the "LT
Accretion Directed Classes").
On each Distribution Date, the Available Funds payable with respect
to the Mortgage Loans for such Distribution Date shall be distributed with
respect to the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests in the following manner:
(1) Interest. Interest at the Lower Tier REMIC Interest Rate
described above is to be distributed to or, alternatively, accrued and deferred
on (i.e., with respect to Net Deferred Interest), each Lower Tier REMIC Regular
Interest such that, (A) with respect to each LT Accretion Directed Class, the
relative proportion between the Lower Tier Principal Amount of each LT Accretion
Directed Class and the Upper Tier Principal Amount of the Corresponding Upper
Tier REMIC Interest (that is, 1%) is maintained, (B) with respect to the Class
LT Accrual-1 Interest, the Lower Tier Principal Amount of such Class is
increased by the remainder of Net Deferred Interest allocated to the Class A
Certificates (other than the Class A-X Certificates) and the Class A-X-PO-1
Component for the related Distribution Date that is not allocated in (A) above
and (C) with respect to the Class LT Accrual-2 Interest, the Lower Tier
Principal Amount of such Class is increased by the remainder of Net Deferred
Interest allocated to the Subordinate Certificates and the Class A-X-PO-2
Component for the related Distribution Date that is not allocated in (A) above.
(2) Principal. The Principal Payment Amount, Realized Losses and
Subsequent Recoveries will be allocated (a) to each LT-Accretion Directed Class
so as to maintain the proportion of its Lower Tier Principal Amount relative to
the Upper Tier Principal Amount of its Corresponding Upper Tier REMIC Interest
(that is, 1%). All remaining Principal Payment Amounts, Realized Losses and
Subsequent Recoveries will be allocated (b) to (i) the Class LT Accrual-1
Interest so as to cause the Lower Tier Principal Amount of the Class LT
Accrual-1 Interest to equal 99% of the aggregate Class Certificate Balance of
the Class A Certificates (other than the Class A-X Certificates) and the Class
A-X-PO-1 Component and (ii) the Class LT Accrual-2 Interest so as to cause the
Lower Tier Principal Amount of the Class LT Accrual-2 Interest to equal 99% of
the aggregate Class Certificate Balance of the Subordinate Certificates and the
Class A-X-PO-2 Component.
Any amounts remaining after distributing principal, interest, and
Subsequent Recoveries to the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests shall be
distributed to the Holders of the Class A-R Certificates in respect of the Class
LT-A-R Interest.
Upper Tier REMIC
The Upper Tier REMIC shall issue the following Classes of Upper Tier
REMIC Regular Interests and each such interest, other than the Class UT-A-R
Interest, is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Upper Tier REMIC.
The Class UT-A-R Interest is hereby designated as the sole Class of residual
interests in the Upper Tier REMIC and shall be represented by the Class A-R
Certificates.

(1) For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period), this
interest shall bear interest at the Pass-Through Rate for the Corresponding
Class of Certificates.
(2) Interest will accrue with respect to the Class A-X Certificates for the
Interest Accrual Period related to each Distribution Date in an amount equal
to the sum of the interest accrued on the Class A-X IO-1 and Class A-X IO-2
Components at their respective Pass-Through Rates for that Interest Accrual
Period. For federal income tax purposes, for the Interest Accrual Period for
any Distribution Date, the Class A-X Interest is entitled to the sum of:
A. The interest on a notional amount equal to the Lower Tier Principal
Amount of the Class LT-A-1, Class LT-A-2, Class LT-A-3, Class LT-UTAR and
Class LT-Accrual-1 Interests at a rate equal to the excess, if any, of (a)
the WAC Cap for the Class A Certificates over (b) the product of (i) 100 and
(ii) the weighted average Lower Tier REMIC Interest Rates of the Class
LT-A-1, Class LT-A-2, Class LT-A-3, Class LT-UTAR and Class LT Accrual-1
Interests, with each such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interest (other than the
Class LT Accrual-1 Interest) subject to a cap equal to the Pass-Through Rate
of the Corresponding Class of Certificates and the Class LT Accrual-1
Interest subject to a cap of 0.00%. The amounts so calculated shall be a
rate sufficient to entitle the Class A-X-IO-1 Component to all interest
accrued on the Class LT-A-1, Class LT-A-2, Class LT-A-3, Class LT-UTAR and
Class LT Accrual-1 Interests less the interest accrued on the Class A
Certificates (other than the Class A-X Certificates); and
B. The interest on a notional amount equal to the Lower Tier Principal
Amount of the Class LT-B-1, Class LT-B-2, Class LT-B-3, Class LT-B-4, Class
LT-B-5, Class LT-B-6 and Class LT Accrual-2 Interests at a rate equal to the
excess, if any, of (a) the WAC Cap for the Subordinate Certificates over (b)
the product of (i) 100 and (ii) the weighted average Lower Tier REMIC
Interest Rates of the Class LT-B-1, Class LT-B-2, Class LT-B-3, Class
LT-B-4, Class LT-B-5, Class LT-B-6 and Class LT Accrual-2 Interests, with
each such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interest (other than the Class LT
Accrual-2 Interest) subject to a cap equal to the Pass-Through Rate of the
Corresponding Class of Certificates and the LT-Accrual-2 Interest subject to
a cap of 0.00%. The amounts so calculated shall be a rate sufficient to
entitle the Class A-X-IO2 Component to all interest accrued on the Class
LT-B-1, Class LT-B-2, Class LT-B-3, Class LT-B-4, Class LT-B-5, Class LT-B-6
and Class LT Accrual-2 Interests less the interest accrued on the
Subordinate Certificates.
(3) For federal income tax purposes, the Class A-X Interest will not have an
Upper Tier Principal Amount and will be entitled to receive and accrue
amounts as described in the previous footnote.
Principal Payment Amounts, Realized Losses and Subsequent Recoveries
will be allocated such that the Upper Tier Principal Amount of each Upper Tier
REMIC Regular Interest shall at all times equal the Class Certificate Balance of
the Corresponding Class of Certificates. Any amounts remaining after
distributing principal, interest, and Subsequent Recoveries to the Upper Tier
REMIC Regular Interests shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class A-R
Certificates in respect of the Class UT-A-R Interest. The Class UT-A-R
Certificates shall receive interest and principal at the times and in the
amounts received by the Class A-R Certificates.

----------
(1) The Class A-1 Certificates will bear interest during each Interest Accrual
Period at a per annum rate equal to the lesser of (i) LIBOR plus the
applicable Pass-Through Margin and (ii) the WAC Cap.
(2) The Class A-2, Class A-3, Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3, Class B-4, Class
B-5 and Class B-6 Certificates will bear interest during each Interest
Accrual Period at a per annum rate equal to the lesser of (i) MTA plus the
applicable Pass-Through Margin and (ii) the WAC Cap.
(3) The Class A-X Certificates will be entitled to receive on each Distribution
Date the sum of the interest accrued on its IO Components (based upon the
Component Notional Amount of each IO Component) during the related Interest
Accrual Period at their respective Pass-Through Margins for that
Distribution Date, less any amounts that are used to pay Carryover Shortfall
Amounts in respect of any other Classes of Certificates. The PO Components
of the Class A-X Certificates have a pass-through rate of 0.000% per annum.
The Pass-Through Rate for the Class A-X-IO-1 Component for the Interest
Accrual Period for any Distribution Date equals the excess, if any, of (1)
the WAC Cap for that Distribution Date (expressed as a rate calculated on
the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months) over (2) the
weighted average of the Pass-Through Rates of the Class A Certificates
(other than the Class A-X Certificates) and the Class A-X-PO-1 Component for
that Interest Accrual Period (weighted on the basis of their respective
Class Certificate Balances or Component Principal Balance, as applicable,
and each expressed as a rate calculated on the basis of a 360-day year
comprised of twelve 30-day months).
The Pass-Through Rate for the Class A-X-IO-2 Component for the Interest
Accrual Period for any Distribution Date will generally equal the excess, if
any, of (1) the WAC Cap applicable to the Subordinate Certificates for that
Distribution Date over (2) the weighted average of the Pass-Through Rates of
the Subordinate Certificates and the Class A-X-PO-2 Component for that
Interest Accrual Period (weighted on the basis of their respective Class
Certificate Balances or Component Principal Balance, as applicable).
(4) The Class A-X Certificates will represent beneficial ownership of the Class
A-X Interest, subject to the obligation to pay any Carryover Shortfall
Amounts to the Principal Certificates. For federal income tax purposes, the
Securities Administrator will treat a Class A-X Certificateholder's
obligation to make payments to the Principal Certificates of Carryover
Shortfall Amounts from the Carryover Shortfall Reserve Fund Account as
payments under a notional principal contract. Such rights of the
Certificateholders shall be treated as held in a portion of the Trust Fund
that is treated as a grantor trust under subpart E, Part I of subchapter J
of the Code.
(5) Each of the Certificates will represent not only ownership of the
Corresponding Class of Upper Tier REMIC Regular Interest but also the right
to receive payments from the Carryover Shortfall Reserve Fund Account in
respect of any Carryover Shortfall Amounts. For federal income tax purposes,
the Securities Administrator will treat a Principal Certificateholder's
right to receive payments from the Carryover Shortfall Reserve Fund Account
as payments received pursuant to a notional principal contract between the
Class A-X Certificateholders and each Class of Principal Certificates.
(6) The Pass-Through Rate for the Class A-R Certificates will be a per annum
rate equal to the related WAC Cap. The Class A-R Certificates represent the
residual interest in each Trust REMIC.
(7) The Class P Certificates will be entitled to receive on each Distribution
Date the Prepayment Premiums collected on the Mortgage Loans during the
related Due Period. The Class P Certificates will not have a Class
Certificate Balance and will not be entitled to distributions in respect of
principal or interest.
(8) The Class L Certificates will be entitled to receive on each Distribution
Date the late payment fees collected on the Mortgage Loans during the
related Due Period. The Class L Certificates will not have a Class
Certificate Balance and will not be entitled to distributions in respect of
principal or interest.
The minimum denomination for each Class of the Offered Certificates
will be $25,000 initial Class Certificate Balance, with integral multiples of $1
in excess thereof except that one Certificate in each Class may be issued in a
different amount. The minimum denomination for the Class A-R Certificates will
be a 100% Percentage Interest in such Class and the Class P and Class L
Certificates will be a 1% Percentage Interest in such Class.

Section 2.01 Conveyance of Mortgage Loans. (a) The Depositor,
concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, hereby sells, transfers,
assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, without recourse, all the right, title and interest of the
Depositor in and to the Trust Fund, and the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust,
hereby accepts the Trust Fund.
(b) In connection with the transfer and assignment of each Mortgage
Loan, the Depositor has delivered or caused to be delivered to the Custodian for
the benefit of the Certificateholders the following documents or instruments
with respect to each Mortgage Loan so assigned:
(i) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed without recourse in blank
by the last endorsee, including all intervening endorsements showing a
complete chain of endorsement from the originator to the last endorsee;
(ii) the original Assignment of Mortgage in blank (except if
recorded), unless the Mortgage Loan is a MERS Mortgage Loan;
(iii) the related original Mortgage and evidence of its recording
or, in certain limited circumstances, a certified copy of the mortgage
with evidence of recording;
(iv) except with respect to a MERS Loan, originals of any
intervening Mortgage assignment or certified copies in either case
evidencing recording;
(v) originals of all assumption or modification agreements or
certified copies thereof, in either case with evidence of recording
thereon;
(vi) an original or copy of a title insurance policy or, in the
event such title policy is unavailable, a certified true copy of the
related policy binder or commitment for title certified to be true and
complete by the title insurance company, Original Loan Seller or escrow
company;
(vii) to the extent applicable, an original or copy of a power of
attorney; and
(viii) the original or, if unavailable, a copy of a security
agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document executed in connection
with the Mortgage, if any.
The Depositor shall deliver to the Custodian the applicable recorded
document promptly upon receipt from the respective recording office but in no
event later than 120 days from the Closing Date.
From time to time, the Original Loan Seller (pursuant to the IndyMac
Purchase Agreement), the Depositor or the Servicer (pursuant to the IndyMac
Servicing Agreement), as applicable, shall forward to the Custodian additional
original documents and additional documents evidencing an assumption,
modification, consolidation or extension of a Mortgage Loan, in accordance with
the terms of the IndyMac Purchase Agreement upon receipt of such documents. All
such mortgage documents held by the Custodian as to each Mortgage Loan shall
constitute the "Custodial File."
On or prior to the Closing Date, the Depositor shall deliver to the
Custodian Assignments of Mortgages (except in the case of MERS Loans), in blank,
for each applicable Mortgage Loan.
To the extent not previously delivered to the Purchaser pursuant to
the IndyMac Purchase Agreement, on or prior to the Closing Date, the Original
Loan Seller shall deliver to the Custodian, Assignments of Mortgages, in blank,
for each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Loan. Pursuant to the IndyMac
Assignment Agreement, no later than thirty (30) Business Days following the
later of the Closing Date and the date of receipt by the Servicer of the
complete recording information for a Mortgage, the Servicer shall promptly
submit or cause to be submitted for recording, at the expense of the Original
Loan Seller and at no expense to the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Servicer, the
Custodian, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Depositor,
in the appropriate public office for real property records, each Assignment of
Mortgage referred to in Section 2.01(b)(ii). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
however, for administrative convenience and facilitation of servicing and to
reduce closing costs, pursuant to the IndyMac Assignment Agreement, the
Assignments of Mortgage shall not be required to be completed and submitted for
recording with respect to any Mortgage Loan (i) if the Trustee and each Rating
Agency have received an Opinion of Counsel, satisfactory to the Trustee and each
Rating Agency to the effect that the recordation of such Assignments of Mortgage
in any specific jurisdiction is not necessary to protect the Trustee's interest
in the related Mortgage Note, (ii) if such Mortgage Loan is a MERS Loan or (iii)
if the Rating Agencies have each notified the Depositor and the Servicer in
writing that not recording any such Assignments of Mortgage would not cause the
initial ratings on any Certificates to be downgraded or withdrawn; provided,
however, that the Servicer shall not be held responsible or liable for any loss
that occurs because an Assignment of Mortgage was not recorded, but only to the
extent the Servicer does not have prior knowledge of the act or omission that
causes such loss. Unless the Depositor gives the Servicer notice to the
contrary, the Depositor is deemed to have given the Servicer notice that the
condition set forth in clause (iii) above is applicable. In addition to the
foregoing and pursuant to the IndyMac Assignment Agreement, the Servicer shall
cause each Assignment of Mortgage to be recorded in accordance with Accepted
Servicing Practices in order to convey, upon foreclosure, the title of any
Mortgaged Property to the Trust. If the Assignment of Mortgage is to be
recorded, the applicable Mortgage shall be assigned by the Original Loan Seller,
pursuant to the IndyMac Assignment Agreement, at the expense of the Original
Loan Seller to "HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as trustee under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of January 1, 2008, BCAP LLC Trust
2008-IND1." In the event that any such Assignment of Mortgage is lost or
returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, pursuant to the IndyMac
Assignment Agreement, the Original Loan Seller shall promptly cause to be
delivered a substitute Assignment of Mortgage to cure such defect and thereafter
cause each such assignment to be duly recorded at no expense to the Trust Fund.
In the event that such original or copy of any document submitted
for recordation to the appropriate public recording office is not so delivered
to the Custodian within the time period and in the manner specified in the
IndyMac Purchase Agreement (which is 90 days following the Closing Date (other
than with respect to the Assignments of Mortgage)), upon receipt of actual
knowledge the Trustee shall take or cause to be taken such remedial actions
under the IndyMac Purchase Agreement against the Original Loan Seller as may be
permitted to be taken thereunder, including, without limitation, if applicable,
the repurchase by the Original Loan Seller of such Mortgage Loan. The foregoing
repurchase remedy shall not apply in the event that the Original Loan Seller
cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted for recordation
to the appropriate public recording office within the specified period due to a
delay caused by the recording office in the applicable jurisdiction; provided,
that the Original Loan Seller shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such
recording office or, if such recording receipt is not available, an officer's
certificate of an officer of the Original Loan Seller, confirming that such
document has been accepted for recording.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
2.01, in those instances where the public recording office retains or loses the
original Mortgage or assignment after it has been recorded, the obligations of
the Original Loan Seller shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon delivery by
the Original Loan Seller to the Custodian, prior to the Closing Date of a copy
of such Mortgage or assignment, as the case may be, certified (such
certification to be an original thereof) by the public recording office to be a
true and complete copy of the recorded original thereof.
(c) The Depositor does hereby establish, pursuant to the further
provisions of this Agreement and the laws of the State of New York, an express

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
parties hereto acknowledge that the functions of the Trustee with respect to the

The Trustee shall also enforce the obligation of the Original Loan Seller under
the IndyMac Purchase Agreement to cure or repurchase Mortgage Loans for which
there is a defect or a breach of a representation or warranty thereunder of
which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, by notifying
the applicable party to correct or cure such default. If the Servicer or the
Original Loan Seller, as the case may be, fails or is unable to correct or cure

failure by the applicable party to correct or cure, the Trustee shall notify the
Depositor and the Depositor will cause the Original Loan Seller to repurchase
the Mortgage Loan. If, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such notice
by such party, such party fails to repurchase such Mortgage Loan, the Trustee
shall notify the Depositor of such failure. The Trustee shall pursue all legal
remedies available to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, against the Servicer,
the Original Loan Seller and the Purchaser, as applicable, under this Agreement,
the IndyMac Purchase Agreement or the IndyMac Servicing Agreement, as
applicable, if the Trustee has received written notice from the Depositor
directing the Trustee to pursue such remedies. The Trustee will be reimbursed by
the Trust for all costs and expenses incurred by it in enforcing such legal
remedies.
Upon receipt of an executed Request for Release (which Request for
Release 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) signed by an officer of the Master Servicer or the Servicer, as
applicable, the Custodian shall promptly release the related Custodial File to
the Master Servicer or the Servicer, as applicable, within three (3) Business
Days. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or
deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection Account unless such
expenses constitute Servicing Advances. In addition, for purposes of servicing
the Mortgage Loans, upon receipt of any executed Request for Release signed by
an officer of the Servicer, the Custodian shall promptly release the related
Custodial File to the Servicer within three (3) Business Days (or with respect
to any Request for Release that relates to more than 100 Custodial Files, five
(5) Business Days).

ARTICLE III
TRUST ACCOUNTS
Section 3.01 Distribution Account and Carryover Shortfall Reserve
Fund Account. (a) The Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain the
Carryover Shortfall Reserve Fund Account, on behalf of the Class A-X
Certificateholders, to receive amounts in respect to any Carryover Shortfall
Amounts and to secure their limited recourse obligation to pay to the
Certificateholders any Carryover Shortfall Amounts. For the avoidance of doubt,
any Carryover Shortfall Amounts shall be paid to the applicable Principal
Certificates from the amounts representing Accrued Certificate Interest
otherwise distributable to the Class A-X Certificates pursuant to Section 4.01,
but instead deposited into the Carryover Shortfall Fund Account pursuant to
Section 4.04. On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall
deposit amounts representing Accrued Certificate Interest with respect of the
Class A-X Certificates received in respect of any Carryover Shortfall Amounts
for such date into the Carryover Shortfall Reserve Fund Account. The Carryover
Shortfall Fund Account shall be a non-interest bearing account.
The Securities Administrator shall account for the Carryover
Shortfall Reserve Fund Account as an asset of a grantor trust under subpart E,
Part I of subchapter J of the Code and not as an asset of either Trust REMIC
created pursuant to this Agreement. The beneficial owners of the Carryover
Shortfall Reserve Fund Account are the Class A-X Certificateholders. For all
federal income tax purposes, amounts transferred by the Upper Tier REMIC to the
Carryover Shortfall Reserve Fund Account shall be treated as distributions by
the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trust to the Class A-X
Certificateholders in respect of the Class A-X Interest and then contributed by
the Class A-X Certificateholders to the Carryover Shortfall Reserve Fund
Account.
Any Carryover Shortfall Amounts distributed by the Securities
Administrator to the Principal Certificateholders from the Carryover Shortfall
Reserve Fund Account shall be accounted for by the Securities Administrator, for
federal income tax purposes, as amounts paid first to the Holders of the Class
A-X Certificates (in respect of the Class A-X Interest) and then to the
respective Class or Classes of Principal Certificates. In addition, the
Securities Administrator shall account for the Principal Certificateholders'
rights to receive payments of Carryover Shortfall Amounts from the Carryover
Shortfall Reserve Fund Account. Funds in the Carryover Shortfall Reserve Fund
Account shall remain uninvested.
Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement, the
Securities Administrator shall not be required to make any distributions from
the Carryover Shortfall Reserve Fund Account except as expressly set forth in
Section 4.04.
(b) The Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain the
Distribution Account on behalf of the Certificateholders, which shall be a
non-interest bearing trust account. The Securities Administrator shall, promptly
upon receipt on the Business Day received, deposit in the Distribution Account
and retain therein the following:
(i) the aggregate amount remitted by the Servicer to the Securities
Administrator pursuant to the IndyMac Servicing Agreement; and
(ii) any other amounts deposited hereunder which are required to be
deposited in the Distribution Account , including in connection with the
first Distribution Date, the Initial Distribution Interest Adjustment
Amount.
In the event that the Servicer shall remit any amount not required
to be remitted pursuant to the IndyMac Servicing Agreement, and the Servicer
pursuant to an Officer's Certificate directs the Securities Administrator in
writing to withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account, the Securities
Administrator shall return such funds to the Servicer. All funds deposited in
the Distribution Account shall be held by the Securities Administrator in trust
for the Certificateholders until disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or
withdrawn in accordance with Section 4.01.
Section 3.02 Investment of Funds in the Distribution Account. (a)
The Securities Administrator may (but shall not be obligated to) invest funds in
the Distribution Account for its benefit (for purposes of this Section 3.02,
such Account is referred to as an "Investment Account"), in one or more
Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing,
unless payable on demand or maturing on such Distribution Date, in the case of
an investment that is an obligation of the Securities Administrator, no later
than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are
required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement. All such
Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any
investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the
Securities Administrator. The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to sole
possession over each such investment, and any certificate or other instrument
evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Securities
Administrator or its agent, together with any document of transfer necessary to
transfer title to such investment to the Securities Administrator. In the event
amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a
Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Securities Administrator may:
(x) consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder,
demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such
Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an
amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable
thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn on such
date; and
(y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder to the extent
that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a
Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit
in the Investment Account.
(b) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds
deposited in the Distribution Account held by the Securities Administrator shall
be subject to the Securities Administrator's withdrawal in the manner set forth
in Section 10.05.
(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any
default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or
if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted
Investment, the Securities Administrator shall take such action as may be
appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution
and prosecution of appropriate proceedings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Securities Administrator shall be liable to the Trust for any such loss on any
funds it has invested under this Section 3.02, and the Securities Administrator
shall deposit funds in the amount of such loss in the Distribution Account
promptly after such loss is incurred.
(d) The Securities Administrator or its Affiliates are permitted to
receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the Securities
Administrator's economic self-interest for (i) serving as investment adviser,
administrator, shareholder, servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with
respect to certain of the Permitted Investments, (ii) using Affiliates to effect
transactions in certain Permitted Investments and (iii) effecting transactions
in certain Permitted Investments. Such compensation is not payable or
reimbursable under Section 8.06 of this Agreement.
(e) In order to comply with its duties under the USA Patriot Act of
2001, the Securities Administrator shall obtain and verify certain information
and documentation from certain other parties to this Agreement including, but
not limited to, each such party's name, address and other identifying
information.
(f) On or prior to each Distribution Date, the Custodian shall
deliver an invoice to the Master Servicer (which may be provided
electronically), setting forth the amount of the Custodian Fee for the related
Distribution Date. The Master Servicer shall remit the Custodian Fee to the
Custodian payable out of the compensation payable hereunder to the Master
Servicer.
ARTICLE IV

Amounts distributable to the IO Components and the PO Components
pursuant to this Section 4.01(a) shall, subject to Section 4.04, be distributed
to the Class A-X Certificates.
Pro rata distributions of interest among Classes of Certificates and
Components are required to be made in proportion to the then current amount of
interest to which the applicable Classes are entitled. Pro rata distributions of
principal among Classes of Certificates and Components are required to be made
in proportion to the then-current Certificate Principal Balance or Components of
the applicable Classes.
(b) On each Distribution Date, all amounts in the Distribution
Account for such Distribution Date representing Prepayment Premiums from the
Mortgage Loans received during the related Principal Prepayment Period, as
identified by the Servicer to the Securities Administrator pursuant to the
IndyMac Assignment Agreement, shall be distributed by the Securities
Administrator to the holders of the Class P Certificates.
(c) On each Distribution Date, all amounts in the Distribution
Account for such Distribution Date representing late payment fees from the
Mortgage Loans received during the related Due Period, as identified by the
Servicer to the Securities Administrator, shall be distributed by the Securities
Administrator to the holders of the Class L Certificates.
Section 4.02 Subordination (a) On each Distribution Date, the amount
referred to in clause (1) of the definition of Accrued Certificate Interest
(without any reduction referred to therein) for each Class of Senior
Certificates and Subordinate Certificates for such Distribution Date shall be
reduced by (i) the related Class's pro rata share of Net Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls with respect to the Mortgage Loans, based on such Class's Accrued
Certificate Interest for such Distribution Date without taking into account such
Net Prepayment Interest Shortfalls and (ii) the related Class's pro rata share
of (A) after the related Special Hazard Coverage Termination Date with respect
to each Mortgage Loan, that became a Special Hazard Mortgage Loan during the
calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution Date, the excess of one
month's interest at the related net Mortgage Interest Rate on the Stated
Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the Due Date in such month over
the amount of Liquidation Proceeds applied as interest on such Mortgage Loan
with respect to such month, (B) after the related Bankruptcy Coverage
Termination Date with respect to each Mortgage Loan that became subject to a
Bankruptcy Loss during the calendar month preceding the month of such
Distribution Date, the interest portion of the related Deficient Valuation, (C)
each Relief Act Reduction incurred on a Mortgage Loan, during the calendar month
preceding the month of such Distribution Date and (D) after the related Fraud
Loss Coverage Termination Date with respect to each Mortgage Loan that became a
Fraud Loan during the calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution
Date, the excess of one month's interest at the related net Mortgage Interest
Rate on the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the Due Date in
such month over the amount of Liquidation Proceeds applied as interest on such
Mortgage Loan with respect to such month. After the Cross-Over Date, the
interest portion of Realized Losses, including Excess Losses, for any
Distribution Date, shall be allocated to reduce the Accrued Certificate Interest
for the Senior Certificates, pro rata, based upon such Class' Accrued
Certificate Interest for such Distribution Date without taking into account such
reductions.
(b) Notwithstanding the priority and allocation contained in Section
4.01(a), if with respect to any Class of Subordinate Certificates on any
Distribution Date, such Class has not satisfied the related Subordinate
Certificates Prepayment Distribution Trigger, no distribution of amounts
pursuant to clauses (2) and (3) of the definition of the Subordinate Optimal
Principal Amount will be made to any such Classes (the "Restricted Classes") and
the amount of such amounts pursuant to clauses (2) and (3) of the definition of
the Subordinate Optimal Principal Amount otherwise distributable to the
Restricted Classes shall be distributed to any Classes of Subordinate
Certificates, which are not Restricted Classes, having lower numerical Class
designations than such Class, pro rata based on their respective Class
Certificate Balances immediately prior to such Distribution Date. The
calculation of any amount to be distributed under this Section 4.02 shall be
made by the Servicer.
(c) In the event that the Trust Fund is terminated pursuant to
Article XI, the Securities Administrator shall remit the amount of any excess
(after taking into account distributions of all amounts required to be made to
the other Classes of Certificates and the payment of all amounts due hereunder
in respect of indemnification and reimbursement) by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to the holders of the Class A-R Certificates in accordance with
the instructions of the holders of the Class A-R Certificates.
Section 4.03 Allocation of Realized Losses. (a) On or prior to each
Distribution Date, the Servicer shall determine the total amount of Realized
Losses, including Excess Losses and the allocation of such total amount as set
forth below. Realized Losses occurring on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated
as follows:
(i) (A) any Realized Loss (other than an Excess Loss) shall be
allocated first to the Subordinate Certificates in reverse order of their
respective numerical Class designations (beginning with the Class of
Subordinate Certificates then outstanding with the highest numerical Class
designation) until the respective Class Certificate Balance of each such
Class is reduced to zero and second (1) to the Classes of Senior
Certificates and the PO Components, pro rata on the basis of their
respective Class Certificate Balances and Component Principal Balances
immediately prior to the related Distribution Date until the Class
Certificate Balance or Component Principal Balance, as applicable, of each
such Class or PO Component has been reduced to zero; provided, however,
that on or after the Cross-Over Date, the losses allocable to the Class
A-1 and Class A-2 Certificates under this paragraph will instead be
allocated to the Class A-3 Certificates (in addition to other losses borne
by such Certificates) until the Class Certificate Balance of the Class A-2
Certificates has been reduced to zero; and provided, however, that on or
after the Cross-Over Date and after the Class Certificate Balance of the
Class A-3 Certificates has been reduced to zero, the losses allocable to
the Class A-1 Certificates under this paragraph will instead be allocated
to the Class A-2 Certificates (in addition to other losses borne by such
Certificates) until the Class Certificate Balance of the Class A-2
Certificates has been reduced to zero.
(B) any Excess Losses occurring on the Mortgage Loans shall be
allocated among the Senior Certificates, and each Class of
Subordinate Certificates, pro rata, based upon their respective
Class Certificate Balances after giving effect to distributions of
principal on such Distribution Date.
(b) The Class Certificate Balance of the Class of Subordinate
Certificates then outstanding with the highest numerical Class designation shall
be reduced on each Distribution Date by the amount, if any, by which the
aggregate of the Class Certificate Balances of the Senior Certificates and
Subordinate Certificates (after giving effect to the distribution of principal
and the allocation of Realized Losses with respect to the Mortgage Loans)
exceeds the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans for the
following Distribution Date, less any Deficient Valuations occurring before the
Bankruptcy Loss Coverage Amount has been reduced to zero; and
(c) Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Certificate or any
reduction in the Class Certificate Balance of a Certificate, pursuant to Section
4.03(a) or (b) above shall be accomplished by reducing the Class Certificate
Balance thereof, as applicable, immediately following the distributions made on
the related Distribution Date in accordance with the definition of "Class
Certificate Balance" herein; provided that no Realized Loss shall be allocated
to reduce the Class Certificate Balance of a Senior Certificate to the extent
that such allocation would reduce the aggregate Class Certificate Balance of all
of the Certificates and Subordinate Certificates to an amount less than the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance for the following Distribution Date minus any
related Deficient Valuations occurring before the related Bankruptcy Loss
Coverage Termination Date (such limitation, the "Loss Allocation Limitation").
(d) Prior to the Cross-Over Date, with respect to any Subsequent
Recoveries received during a Principal Prepayment Period with respect to any
Mortgage Loans, the Class Certificate Balance or Component Principal Balance of
one or more Classes of Certificates or PO Components to which Realized Losses
have previously been allocated, will be increased for the related Distribution
Date, as follows:
(i) first, up to the amount of the Subsequent Recoveries, the Class
Certificate Balance or Component Principal Balance of each Class of Senior
Certificates or PO Component, as applicable, will be increased, pro rata,
up to the amount of the excess, if any, of (x) unrecovered Realized Losses
previously allocated to each such Class or PO Component, if any over (y)
amounts previously applied to the increase of the Class Certificate
Balance of such Class or PO Component pursuant to this Section 4.03(d)(i);
and
(ii) second, up to the amount of the Subsequent Recoveries remaining
after allocation pursuant to the preceding clause (i), the Class
Certificate Balance of each related Class of Subordinate Certificates, in
order of seniority, will be increased, by the amount of the excess, if
any, of (x) unrecovered Realized Losses previously allocated to each such
Class, if any, over (y) amounts previously applied to the increase of the
Class Certificate Balance of such Class pursuant to this Section
4.03(d)(ii).
(e) Commencing on the Cross-Over Date, the Securities Administrator
shall distribute the amount of any Subsequent Recovery received during a
Principal Prepayment Period, pro rata, based on Class Certificate Balances, to
the Classes of Senior Certificates and PO Components for which the Subsequent
Recovery was received; provided, however, that any distribution to a Class of
Certificates and Component Principal Balance, as applicable, pursuant to this
Section 4.03(e) shall not reduce the Class Certificate Balance or Component
Principal Balance of such Class or PO Component, as applicable.
Section 4.04 Carryover Shortfall Reserve Fund (a) On each
Distribution Date, all or a portion of the amounts distributable as interest to
the IO Components of the Class A-X Certificates in an amount up to the Carryover
Shortfall Amount, if any, for such Distribution Date, shall be deposited in the
Carryover Shortfall Reserve Fund and shall be distributed on such Distribution
Date, concurrently, as follows:
(i) from amounts on deposit in the Carryover Shortfall Reserve Fund
otherwise distributable to the Class A-X-IO-1 Component, first,
concurrently, to each Class of Senior Certificates (with the exception of
the Class A-X and Class A-R Certificates), pro rata, based on their
respective Class Certificate Balances, up to the amount of the Carryover
Shortfall Amount with respect to each such Class of Certificates for such
Distribution Date, second, concurrently, to each Class of such Senior
Certificates, pro rata, based on their respective Carryover Shortfall
Amounts for such Distribution Date not paid above, up to the amount of the
Carryover Shortfall Amount with respect to each such Class of Certificates
for such Distribution Date not paid and third, any amounts remaining to
the Class A-X Certificates, and
(ii) from amounts on deposit in the Carryover Shortfall Reserve Fund
otherwise distributable to the Class A-X-IO-2 Component, first,
concurrently, to each class of Subordinate Certificates, pro rata, based
on their respective Class Certificate Balances, up to the amount of the
Carryover Shortfall Amount with respect to each such Class of Certificates
for such Distribution Date, second, concurrently, to each Class of
Subordinate Certificates, pro rata, based on their respective Carryover
Shortfall Amounts for such Distribution Date not paid above, up to the
amount of the Carryover Shortfall Amount with respect to each such Class
of Certificates for such Distribution Date not paid and third, any amounts
remaining to the Class A-X Certificates.
(b) To the extent amounts in respect of interest otherwise payable
to an IO Component are used to pay Carryover Shortfall Amounts and are not paid
to the Class A-X Certificates, a holder of the Class A-X Certificates will not
be entitled to reimbursement for such amounts. The Carryover Shortfall Reserve
Fund Account will not be an asset of either Trust REMIC.
Section 4.05 Allocation of Net Deferred Interest. On each
Distribution Date, the Net Deferred Interest will be allocated among the Senior
Certificates and the Subordinate Certificates. Among the Senior Certificates or
Subordinate Certificates, as applicable, the Net Deferred Interest allocated to
a Class of Certificates or its IO Components will be an amount equal to the
excess, if any, for each such Class or IO Component of:
(i) the amount of interest that accrued on such Class of
Certificates or IO Component at its respective Pass-Through Rate during
the Interest Accrual Period related to that Distribution Date, over
(ii) the amount of current interest that would have accrued had the
Pass-Through Rate for that Class of Certificates or IO Component equaled
the related Adjusted Loan Cap for that Distribution Date.
The amount of Net Deferred Interest allocated to a Class of Certificates will be
added to the Class Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates, provided,
that the amount of Net Deferred Interest allocated to an IO Component will be
added to the Component Principal Balance of the PO Component with the same
alpha-numeric designation.

Administrator pursuant to Section 8.15 shall include the following information
with respect to the related distribution:
(i) material breaches of Mortgage Loan representations and
warranties of which the Securities Administrator has knowledge or has
received written notice; and
(ii) material breaches of any covenants under this Agreement of
which the Securities Administrator has knowledge or has received written

(b) The Securities Administrator's responsibility for providing the
above statement to the Certificateholders, each Rating Agency and the Depositor
is limited, if applicable, to the availability, timeliness and accuracy of the
information derived from the Servicer. The Securities Administrator shall make
available the above statement via the Securities Administrator's internet
website. The Securities Administrator's website will initially be located at
xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx and assistance in using the website can be obtained by
calling the Securities Administrator's customer service desk at (000) 000-0000.
Parties that are unable to use the website are entitled to have a paper copy
mailed to them via first class mail by calling the customer service desk and
indicating such. The Securities Administrator may change the way the monthly
statements to Certificateholders are distributed in order to make such
distribution more convenient and/or more accessible to the above parties and the
Securities Administrator shall provide timely and adequate notification to all
above parties regarding any such changes. As a condition to access the
Securities Administrator's internet website, the Securities Administrator may
require registration and the acceptance of a disclaimer. The Securities
Administrator will not be liable for the dissemination of information in
accordance with this Agreement.
The Securities Administrator shall make available to each Analytics
Company via the Securities Administrator's internet website each statement to
Certificateholders prepared pursuant to this Section 4.02(b). The Securities
Administrator and the Servicer shall cooperate in good faith with the Depositor
to reconcile any discrepancies in such statements, and the Securities
Administrator shall provide any corrections to such statements to each Analytics
Company within ten Business Days of the related Distribution Date, provided that
the Securities Administrator shall only be obligated to report to one Analytics
Company in any month.
(c) Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each
calendar year, the Securities Administrator shall cause to be furnished to each
Person who at any time during the calendar year was a Certificateholder, a
statement containing the information set forth in clauses (a)(iii), and (a)(iv)
of this Section 4.06 aggregated for such calendar year or applicable portion
thereof during which such Person was a Certificateholder. Such obligation of the
Securities Administrator shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent
that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Securities
Administrator pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from time to time in
effect.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Securities Administrator shall comply with all federal withholding requirements
respecting distributions to Certificateholders of interest or original issue
discount that the Securities Administrator reasonably believes are applicable
under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders shall not be required for such
withholding. If the Securities Administrator does withhold any amount from
interest or original issue discount payments or advances thereof to any
Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Securities
Administrator shall indicate the amount withheld to such Certificateholders.
Such amounts shall be deemed to have been distributed to such Certificateholders
for all purposes of this Agreement.
Section 4.07 Certain Matters Relating to the Determination of LIBOR.
LIBOR shall be calculated by the Securities Administrator in accordance with the
definition of LIBOR. Until all of the LIBOR Certificates are paid in full, the
Securities Administrator shall at all times retain at least four Reference Banks
for the purpose of determining LIBOR with respect to each LIBOR Determination
Date. The Securities Administrator initially shall designate the Reference Banks
(after consultation with the Depositor). Each "Reference Bank" shall be a
leading bank engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the international
Eurocurrency market, shall not control, be controlled by, or be under common
control with, the Securities Administrator and shall have an established place
of business in London. If any such Reference Bank should be unwilling or unable
to act as such or if the Securities Administrator should terminate its
appointment as Reference Bank, the Securities Administrator shall promptly
appoint or cause to be appointed another Reference Bank (after consultation with
the Depositor). The Securities Administrator shall have no liability or
responsibility to any Person for (i) the selection of any Reference Bank for
purposes of determining LIBOR or (ii) any inability to retain at least four
Reference Banks which is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control.
(i) The Pass-Through Rate for each Class of LIBOR Certificates for
each Interest Accrual Period shall be determined by the Securities
Administrator on each LIBOR Determination Date so long as the LIBOR
Certificates are Outstanding on the basis of LIBOR and the respective
formulae appearing in footnotes corresponding to the LIBOR Certificates in
the table relating to the Certificates in the Preliminary Statement. The
Securities Administrator shall not have any liability or responsibility to
any Person for its inability, following a good-faith reasonable effort, to
obtain quotations from the Reference Banks or to determine the arithmetic
mean referred to in the definition of LIBOR, all as provided for in this
Section 4.07 and the definition of LIBOR. The establishment of LIBOR and
each Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR Certificates by the Securities
Administrator shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final,
conclusive and binding upon each Holder of a Certificate and the
Securities Administrator.
Section 4.08 Certain Matters Relating to the Determination of MTA.
(a) On each related MTA Determination Date, so long as the MTA Certificates are
outstanding, the Securities Administrator shall determine MTA on the basis of
the most recent MTA figure available as of such related MTA Determination Date.
(b) If on any MTA Determination Date, MTA is no longer available,
the Securities Administrator shall select a new index for the MTA Certificates
that is based on comparable information. When the Securities Administrator
selects a new index for the MTA Certificates, the Pass-Through Rate for each
Class of MTA Certificates shall increase or decrease by the difference between
the average MTA for the final three years it was in effect and the average of
the most recent three years for the replacement index. The Pass-Through Rate for
each Class of MTA Certificates will be increased by that difference if the
average MTA is greater than the average replacement index, and the Pass-Through
Rate for each Class of MTA Certificates will be decreased by that difference if
the replacement index is greater than the average MTA.
(c) The Pass-Through Rate for each Class of MTA Certificates for
each Interest Accrual Period shall be determined by the Securities Administrator
on each MTA Determination Date so long as the MTA Certificates are outstanding
on the basis of MTA and the respective formulae appearing in footnotes
corresponding to the MTA Certificates in the table relating to the Certificates
in the Preliminary Statement.
(d) The determination of MTA and the Pass-Through Rates for the MTA
Certificates by the Securities Administrator shall (in the absence of manifest
error) be final, conclusive and binding upon each Holder of a MTA Certificate
and the Securities Administrator.
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
Section 5.01 The Certificates. The Certificates shall be
substantially in the forms attached hereto as exhibits. The Certificates shall
be issuable in registered form, in the minimum denominations, integral multiples
in excess thereof (except that one Certificate in each Class may be issued in a
different amount) and aggregate denominations per Class set forth in the
Preliminary Statement.
Subject to Section 11.02 respecting the final distribution on the
Certificates, on each Distribution Date the Securities Administrator shall make
distributions to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date
either (x) by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of
such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if
such Holder has so notified the Securities Administrator at least five Business
Days prior to the related Record Date or (y) by check mailed by first class mail
to such Certificateholder at the address of such Holder appearing in the
Certificate Register.
The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature
on behalf of the Securities Administrator by an authorized officer. Certificates
bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time
such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Securities
Administrator shall bind the Securities Administrator, notwithstanding that such
individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the
authentication and delivery of any such Certificates or did not hold such
offices at the date of such Certificate. No Certificate shall be entitled to any
benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless authenticated
by the Securities Administrator by manual signature, and such authentication
upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that
such Certificate has been duly executed and delivered hereunder. All
Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication. On the Closing
Date, the Securities Administrator shall authenticate the Certificates to be
issued at the direction of the Depositor, or any Affiliate thereof.
Section 5.02......Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of
Certificates. (a) The Securities Administrator shall maintain, or cause to be
maintained in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.02, a Certificate
Register for the Trust Fund in which, subject to the provisions of subsections
(b) and (c) below and to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the
Securities Administrator shall provide for the registration of Certificates and
of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. Upon surrender
for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Securities Administrator
shall execute and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class and aggregate
Percentage Interest.
At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged
for other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the
Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Securities
Administrator. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the
Securities Administrator shall execute, authenticate, and deliver the
Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to
receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer
or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by the Holder thereof
or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently destroyed by the Securities
Administrator in accordance with the Securities Administrator's customary
procedures.
(b) No transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the
registration requirements under the Securities Act and such state securities
laws. In determining whether a transfer is being made pursuant to an effective
registration statement, the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to rely
solely upon a written notice to such effect from the Depositor. Except with
respect to the transfer of the Class A-X Certificates or the Residual
Certificates to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor, in the event
that a transfer of a Private Certificate which is a Physical Certificate is to
be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in
order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the
Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer shall certify to the
Securities Administrator in writing the facts surrounding the transfer in
substantially the form set forth in Exhibit H (the "Transferor Certificate") and
either (i) there shall be delivered to the Securities Administrator a letter in
substantially the form of Exhibit I (the "Rule 144A Letter") or (ii) there shall
be delivered to the Securities Administrator at the expense of the transferor an
Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made without registration under the
Securities Act. In the event that a transfer of a Private Certificate which is a
Book-Entry Certificate is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the
Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities
Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer will
be deemed to have made as of the transfer date each of the certifications set
forth in the Transferor Certificate in respect of such Certificate and the
transferee will be deemed to have made as of the transfer date each of the
certifications set forth in the Rule 144A Letter in respect of such Certificate,
in each case as if such Certificate were evidenced by a Physical Certificate. As
directed by the Depositor, the Securities Administrator shall provide to any
Holder of a Private Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any
such Holder, information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage
Loans and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition
to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Certificate
without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the
registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Depositor shall cooperate with
the Securities Administrator and the Servicer in providing the Rule 144A
information referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to the
Securities Administrator such information regarding the Certificates, the
Mortgage Loans and other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall
reasonably determine to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each
Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does
hereby agree to, indemnify the Securities Administrator, the Servicer 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.
Except with respect to the transfer of the Class A-X Certificates or
the Residual Certificates to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor, no
transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the Securities
Administrator shall have received either (i) a representation from the
transferee of such Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Securities Administrator (in the event such Certificate is a
Private Certificate, such requirement is satisfied only by the Securities
Administrator's receipt of a representation letter from the transferee
substantially in the form of Exhibit I), to the effect that such transferee is
not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA, a
plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan subject to any Federal, state
or local law ("Similar Law") materially similar to the foregoing provisions of
ERISA or the Code, nor a Person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement
nor using the assets of any such plan or arrangement to effect such transfer, or
(ii) in the case of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate other than a Residual
Certificate that has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, and
the purchaser is an insurance company, a representation that the purchaser is an
insurance company that is purchasing such Certificates with funds contained in
an "insurance company general account" (as such term is defined in Section V(e)
of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 ("PTCE 95-60")) and that the
purchase and holding of such Certificates are covered under Sections I and III
of PTCE 95-60 or (iii) in the case of any such ERISA-Restricted Certificate
other than a Class L Certificate, a Class P Certificate or a Residual
Certificate presented for registration in the name of an employee benefit plan
subject to Title I of ERISA, a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of
the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), or a plan
subject to Similar Law, or a trustee of any such plan or any other Person acting
on behalf of any such plan or arrangement or using such plan's or arrangement's
assets, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Securities Administrator,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the
Securities Administrator, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Custodian or
the Trust Fund, addressed to the Securities Administrator, to the effect that
the purchase or holding of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate will not constitute
or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction within the meaning of ERISA,
Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Law and will not subject the Depositor,
the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Custodian or the Servicer
to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement or
to any liability. For purposes of the preceding sentence, with respect to an
ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is not a Physical Certificate, in the event
the representation letter referred to in the preceding sentence is not
furnished, such representation shall be deemed to have been made to the
Securities Administrator by the transferee's (including an initial acquirer's)
acceptance of the ERISA-Restricted Certificates. Notwithstanding anything else
to the contrary herein, (a) any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted
Certificate, other than a Class L Certificate, a Class P Certificate or a
Residual Certificate, to or on behalf of an employee benefit plan subject to
ERISA, the Code or Similar Law without the delivery to the Securities
Administrator of an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Securities
Administrator as set forth above shall be void and of no effect and (b) any
purported transfer of a Class L Certificate, a Class P Certificate or a Residual
Certificate to a transferee that does not make the representation in clause (i)
above shall be void and of no effect.
None of the Class L Certificates, the Class P Certificates or the
Residual Certificates may be sold to any employee benefit plan subject to Title
I of ERISA, any plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or any plan subject to
any Similar Law or any Person investing on behalf or with plan assets of such
plan.
To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not
limited to, ERISA), the Securities Administrator shall be under no liability to
any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate
that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(b) or for making any payments
due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with
respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the
transfer was registered by the Securities Administrator in accordance with the
foregoing requirements.
(c) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and
the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly
notify the Securities Administrator of any change or impending change in
its status as a Permitted Transferee;
(ii) No Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be
registered on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the
Securities Administrator shall not register the Transfer of any Residual
Certificate unless, in addition to the certificates required to be
delivered to the Securities Administrator under subparagraph (b) above,
the Securities Administrator shall have been furnished with an affidavit
(a "Transfer Affidavit") of the initial owner or the proposed transferee
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G;
(iii) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from
any other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit
from any Person for whom such Person is acting as nominee, trustee or
agent in connection with any Transfer of a Residual Certificate and (C)
not to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate or to
cause the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to
any other Person if it has actual knowledge that such Person is a
Non-Permitted Transferee;
(iv) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
5.02(c) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the
purported Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of
a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
5.02(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to
all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of
Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Securities 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 Section 5.02(b) and
this Section 5.02(c) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to
the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder
under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was
registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit, Transferor
Certificate and the Rule 144A Letter. The Securities Administrator shall
be entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a Residual
Certificate that was in fact a Non-Permitted Transferee at the time it
became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became a Non-Permitted
Transferee, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and after
either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Securities
Administrator shall be paid and delivered by the Securities Administrator
to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such Certificate; and
(v) The Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon
receipt of written request from the Securities Administrator, all
information necessary to compute any tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of
the Code as a result of a Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate to any Holder who is a Non-Permitted Transferee.
The restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in
this Section 5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the
legend on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers
occurring after delivery to the Securities Administrator of an Opinion of
Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the
Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Custodian or the Servicer, to
the effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not cause either Trust
REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are
Outstanding or result in the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, a
Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person holding or acquiring any
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate hereby consents to any amendment of
this Agreement which, based on an Opinion of Counsel furnished to the Securities
Administrator, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the record ownership
of, or any beneficial interest in, a Residual Certificate is not transferred,
directly or indirectly, to a Person that is a Non-Permitted Transferee and (b)
to provide for a means to compel the Transfer of a Residual Certificate which is
held by a Person that is a Non-Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a
Permitted Transferee.
(d) The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions
referred to above in this Section 5.02 in connection with transfer shall be at
the expense of the parties to such transfers.
(e) Except as provided below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at
all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at
all times: (i) registration of the Certificates may not be transferred by the
Securities Administrator except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall
maintain book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with
respect to ownership and transfers of such Book-Entry Certificates; (iii)
ownership and transfers of registration of the Book-Entry Certificates on the
books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the
Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees,
charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Securities
Administrator shall deal with the Depository, Depository Participants and
indirect participating firms as representatives of the Certificate Owners of the
Book-Entry Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of holders under
this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such
representatives shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with
respect to different Certificate Owners; and (vi) the Securities Administrator
may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by
the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants and furnished by the
Depository Participants with respect to indirect participating firms and persons
shown on the books of such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect
Certificate Owners.
All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall
be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository
Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each
Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of
Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as
agent in accordance with the Depository's normal procedures.
If (x) (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Securities
Administrator in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to
properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Securities
Administrator or the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, or (y)
the Depositor notifies the Depository of its intent to terminate the book-entry
system through the Depository and, upon receipt of notice of such intent from
the Depository, the Depository Participants holding beneficial interests in the
Book-Entry Certificates agree to initiate such termination, the Securities
Administrator shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of
the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of definitive, fully
registered Certificates (the "Definitive Certificates") to Certificate Owners
requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Securities Administrator of the
related Class of Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by the instructions
from the Depository for registration, the Securities Administrator shall issue
the Definitive Certificates. None of the Depositor or the Securities
Administrator shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instruction and
each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such
instructions. The Depositor shall provide the Securities Administrator with an
adequate inventory of Certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer of
Definitive Certificates. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all
references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the
Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Securities
Administrator, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive
Certificates and the Securities Administrator shall recognize the Holders of the
Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder; provided, that the
Securities Administrator shall not by virtue of its assumption of such
obligations become liable to any party for any act or failure to act of the
Depository.
(f) Each Private Certificate presented or surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer and accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8IMY (and
all appropriate attachments) or W-9 in form satisfactory to the Securities
Administrator, duly executed by the Certificateholder or his attorney duly

Certificate is deemed to consent to any such IRS Form being so forwarded.
(g) Each Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently disposed of by the
Securities Administrator in accordance with its customary practice. No service
charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Private
Certificates, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Private Certificates.
Section 5.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If
(a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Securities Administrator, or
the Securities Administrator receives evidence to its satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the
Depositor and the Securities Administrator such security or indemnity as may be
required by them to hold each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice
to the Securities Administrator that such Certificate has been acquired by a
bona fide purchaser, the Securities Administrator shall execute, authenticate
and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost
or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor and Percentage
Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this
Section 5.03, the Securities Administrator may require the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the
Securities Administrator) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate
issued pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible
evidence of ownership, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen
or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
Section 5.04 Persons Deemed Owners. The Trustee, the Securities
Administrator, the Depositor and any agent of the Depositor or the Securities
Administrator may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered
as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as

Addresses. If three or more Certificateholders (a) request such information in
writing from the Securities Administrator, (b) state that such
Certificateholders desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with
respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates and (c)
provide a copy of the communication which such Certificateholders propose to

shall not be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such
information as to the list of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of
the source from which such information was derived.
Section 5.06 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Securities
Administrator will maintain or cause to be maintained at its expense an office

THE DEPOSITOR
Section 6.01 Respective Liabilities of the Depositor. The Depositor
shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations
specifically and respectively imposed upon and undertaken by them herein.
Section 6.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor. The Depositor
will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation
under the laws of the United States or under the laws of one of the states
thereof and will each obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a
foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall
be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or
any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective duties under this
Agreement.
Any Person into which the Depositor may be merged or consolidated,
or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Depositor
shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor,
shall be the successor of the Depositor, as the case may be, hereunder, without
the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of
the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 6.03 Limitation on Liability of the Depositor and Others.
Neither the Depositor nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents
shall be under any liability to the Certificateholders for any action taken or
for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this
Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision
shall not protect the Depositor or any such Person against any breach of
representations or warranties made by it herein or protect the Depositor or any
such Person from any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reasons of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties
or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The
Depositor and any director, officer, employee, Affiliate or agent of the
Depositor may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie
properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising
hereunder. The Depositor and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Depositor shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any
loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any audit, controversy or
judicial proceeding relating to a governmental taxing authority or any legal
action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates or any other unanticipated
or extraordinary expense, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance
of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties
hereunder. The Depositor shall not be under any obligation to appear in,
prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its respective
duties hereunder and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or
liability; provided, however, that the Depositor may in its discretion undertake
any such action (or direct the Trustee to undertake such actions for the benefit
of the Certificateholders) that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of
this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and interests of
the Trustee and the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal
expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be
expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund and the Depositor and the
Trustee, if applicable, shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the
Distribution Account.
Section 6.04 Option to Purchase Defaulted Mortgage Loans. The
Servicer shall have the option, but is not obligated, to purchase from the Trust
any Mortgage Loan that is 90 days or more delinquent. The purchase price
therefor, which shall be deposited in the Distribution Account, shall be 100% of
the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, plus all related accrued and
unpaid interest, and the amount of any unreimbursed Servicing Advances made by
the Servicer related to the applicable Mortgage Loan.
ARTICLE VII
SERVICER DEFAULT
Section 7.01 Events of Default. If an Event of Default set forth in
the IndyMac Servicing Agreement shall occur with respect to the Servicer then,
and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have
been remedied, the Master Servicer may, or at the direction of
Certificateholders entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights the Master
Servicer shall, by notice in writing to the Servicer (with a copy to each Rating
Agency), terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under the
IndyMac Servicing Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans serviced by the
Servicer and the proceeds thereof. The Holders of Certificates evidencing at
least 66% of the Voting Rights of Certificates affected by an Event of Default
may waive such Event of Default; provided, however, that (a) an Event of Default
with respect to the Servicer's obligation to make Monthly Advances may be waived
only by all of the holders of the Certificates affected by such Event of Default
and (b) no such waiver is permitted that would materially adversely affect any
non-consenting Certificateholder. On and after the receipt by the Servicer of
such written notice of termination, all authority and power of the Servicer
hereunder, whether with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loans or otherwise,
shall pass to and be vested in the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer is
hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other
instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to
complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the applicable Mortgage
Loans and related documents, or otherwise.
Section 7.02 Master Servicer to Act; Appointment of Successor.
Within 120 days after the Master Servicer gives, and a Servicer receives a
notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01, the Master Servicer shall,
subject to and to the extent provided in Section 7.03, and subject to the rights
of the Master Servicer to appoint a successor Servicer pursuant to this Section
7.02, be the successor to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under the
IndyMac Servicing Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for
herein and in the IndyMac Servicing Agreement and shall be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer
by the terms and provisions of the IndyMac Servicing Agreement and applicable
law including the obligation to make Monthly Advances or Servicing Advances
pursuant to the IndyMac Servicing Agreement (it being understood and agreed that
if the Servicer fails to make an Advance, the Master Servicer (in its capacity
as successor servicer) shall do so unless a determination has been made that
such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Monthly Advance or a
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance). As compensation therefor, the Master Servicer
shall be entitled to all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans that the Servicer
would have been entitled to charge to the Collection Account if the Servicer had
continued to act under the IndyMac Servicing Agreement including, if the
Servicer was receiving the Servicing Fee at the Servicing Fee Rate set forth in
the IndyMac Servicing Agreement (as set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule with
respect to the related Mortgage Loans), such Servicing Fee and the income on
investments or gain related to the Collection Account.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer may, if it shall
be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law from
making Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances pursuant to the IndyMac Servicing
Agreement, or if it is otherwise unable to so act, or, at the written request of
Certificateholders entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights, appoint, or
petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage
loan servicing institution the appointment of which does not adversely affect
the then current rating of the Certificates by each Rating Agency, as the
successor to the Servicer under the IndyMac Servicing Agreement in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of
the Servicer. No such appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder shall
be effective until the Depositor shall have consented thereto. Any successor to
the Servicer shall be an institution which is a Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac
approved seller/servicer in good standing, which has a net worth of at least
$25,000,000, which is willing to service the Mortgage Loans and which executes
and delivers to the Depositor and the Master Servicer an agreement accepting
such delegation and assignment, containing an assumption by such Person of the
rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of such
terminated Servicer, (other than liabilities of the terminated Servicer incurred
prior to termination of the Servicer under Section 7.01), with like effect as if
originally named as a party to this Agreement; provided, that each Rating Agency
acknowledges that its rating of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to
such assignment and delegation will not be qualified or reduced, as a result of
such assignment and delegation. Pending appointment of a successor to a Servicer
hereunder, the Master Servicer, unless the Master Servicer is prohibited by law
from so acting, shall, subject to this Section 7.02, act in such capacity as
hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the
Master Servicer may make such arrangements for the compensation of such
successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it, the Depositor and such
successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in
excess of the Servicing Fee Rate and amounts paid to the Servicer from
investments. The Master Servicer and such successor shall take such action,
consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such
succession. Neither the Master Servicer nor any other successor to a Servicer
shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or
any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof or any
failure to perform, or any delay in performing, any duties or responsibilities
hereunder, in either case caused by the failure of the predecessor Servicer to
deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or providing, any cash,
information, documents or records to it.
Any successor Servicer shall be responsible for giving notice to the
related Mortgagors of such change of Servicer, in accordance with applicable
federal and state law, and shall, during the term of its service as Servicer,
maintain in force the policy or policies that the Servicer is required to
maintain pursuant to the IndyMac Servicing Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer may not terminate
the Servicer without cause.
Section 7.03 Master Servicer to Act as Servicer. In the event that a
Servicer shall for any other reason no longer be the Servicer, the Master
Servicer or another successor Servicer, shall thereupon assume all of the rights
and obligations of the predecessor Servicer hereunder arising thereafter
pursuant to Section 7.02.
Section 7.04 Notification to Certificateholders. (a) Upon any
termination of or appointment of a successor to the Servicer, the Master
Servicer shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders and to
each Rating Agency.
(b) Promptly after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the
Master Servicer shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders and each Rating
Agency notice of each such Event of Default hereunder known to the Master
Servicer, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.

occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default and after the curing of all
Master Servicer Events of Default that may have occurred, shall undertake to
perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement. In case a Master Servicer Event of Default has occurred and remains
uncured, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it
by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise
as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct
of such person's own affairs.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act or its own bad faith or willful misfeasance; provided, however, that:
(a) unless a Master Servicer Event of Default of which a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee obtains actual knowledge has occurred and is continuing,
the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the
express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for
the performance of the duties and obligations specifically set forth in this
Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement
against the Trustee, and the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of
the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any
certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the
requirements of this Agreement which it believed in good faith to be genuine and
to have been duly executed by the proper authorities respecting any matters
arising hereunder;
(b) the Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in
good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee,
unless it is finally proven that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts; and
(c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action
taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with
the direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the

Opinion of Counsel;

instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or
other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by Holders of
Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights allocated to each
Class of Certificates; provided, however, that if the payment within a
reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to
be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the
Trustee, not assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms
of this Agreement, the Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee
against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to taking any such
action. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the
Servicer or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the Servicer upon demand
from the Servicer's own funds;
(e) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents,
accountants or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any
misconduct or negligence on the part of any agents, accountants or attorneys

(f) neither the Custodian nor the Trustee shall be required to risk

be deemed to have knowledge of an Event of Default, until a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof;
(i) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
trusts, rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute, conduct
or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order
or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to this Agreement,
unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable
security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses
and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;
(j) the right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act
enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee
shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in
the performance of such act;
(k) the Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in
respect of the execution of the Trust Fund created hereby or the powers granted
hereunder;
(l) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the applicable
Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall not consent to the Servicer's request of
assigning the IndyMac Servicing Agreement or the servicing rights thereunder to
any other party;
(m) should the Trustee deem the nature of any action required on its
part to be unclear, the Trustee may require prior to such action that it be

Agreement or the IndyMac Purchase Agreement, as applicable, or the eligibility
of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of this Agreement.
Section 8.04 Trustee and Custodian Not Liable for Certificates or
Mortgage Loans. The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates shall be
taken as the statements of the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no

The Trustee shall have no responsibility (i) for filing or recording
any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to
otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien
granted to it hereunder (unless the Trustee shall have become and remains the
successor Servicer), (ii) to see to any insurance (unless the Trustee shall have
become the successor Servicer), or (iii) to confirm or verify the contents of
any reports or certificates of a Servicer, delivered to the Trustee pursuant to
this Agreement believed by the Trustee to be genuine and to have been signed or
presented by the proper party or parties.
Each of the undertakings and agreements made on the part of the
Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund in the Certificates is made and intended not
as a personal undertaking or agreement by the Trustee but is made and intended

funds pursuant to a separate agreement. The Trustee shall have no lien on the
Trust Fund for the payment of such fees. As compensation for its activities
under this Agreement, the Custodian shall be paid its fees by the Master

resignation or removal. The Trustee, the Custodian and their respective
directors, officers, employees, or agents shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund

(b) the Certificates, or
(c) the performance of any of the Trustee's or the Custodian's
duties under this Agreement,
other than any loss, liability, or expense (i) with respect to the Trustee,
resulting from any breach of the Servicer's obligations in connection with the
IndyMac Servicing Agreement for which that Servicer has completed performance of
its obligation to indemnify the Trustee pursuant to the IndyMac Servicing
Agreement, (ii) with respect to the Trustee, resulting from any breach of the
Original Loan Seller's obligations in connection with the IndyMac Purchase
Agreement for which it has completed performance of its obligation to indemnify
the Trustee pursuant to such IndyMac Purchase Agreement, or (iii) incurred
because of willful misfeasance, bad faith, or negligence in the performance of
any of the Custodian's or Trustee's duties under this Agreement, as applicable.

the Depositor and the Trustee, and except for any expense, disbursement, or
advance arising from the Trustee's negligence, bad faith, or willful
misfeasance, the Trust Fund shall pay or reimburse the Trustee, for all
reasonable expenses, disbursements, and advances incurred or made by the Trustee
in accordance with this Agreement with respect to:
(A) the reasonable compensation, expenses, and disbursements
of its counsel not associated with the closing of the issuance of

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Trustee shall
not be entitled to payment or reimbursement for any routine ongoing expenses
incurred by the Trustee in the ordinary course of its duties as Trustee under
this Agreement; provided, however, no expense shall be reimbursed hereunder if
it would not constitute an "unanticipated expense incurred by the REMIC" within
the meaning of the REMIC Provisions.
Section 8.07 Eligibility Requirements for the Trustee. The Trustee
hereunder shall at all times be a corporation, banking association or other
association organized and doing business under the laws of a state or the United
States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust
powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject
to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and with a credit
rating which would not cause any of the Rating Agencies to reduce their
respective then current ratings of the Certificates (or having provided such
security from time to time as is sufficient to avoid such reduction) as
evidenced in writing by each Rating Agency. If such corporation or association
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the
purposes of this Section 8.07 the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In
case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with this
Section 8.07, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the
effect specified in Section 8.08. The entity serving as Trustee may have normal
banking and trust relationships with the Depositor and its Affiliates or with
the Servicer and its Affiliates; provided, however, that such entity cannot be
an Affiliate of the Depositor or of the Servicer other than the Trustee in its
role as successor to the Servicer.
Section 8.08 Resignation and Removal of the Trustee. The Trustee may
at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving
written notice of resignation to the Depositor, the Servicer, the Custodian and
each Rating Agency not less than 60 days before the date specified in such
notice, when, subject to Section 8.09, such resignation is to take effect, and
acceptance by a successor trustee in accordance with Section 8.09 meeting the
qualifications set forth in Section 8.07. If no successor trustee meeting such
qualifications shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within
30 days after the giving of such notice or resignation, the resigning Trustee
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with Section 8.07 and shall fail to resign after written request thereto by the
Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or
shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of
its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or
control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of
rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or a tax is imposed with respect to
the Trust Fund by any state in which the Trustee or the Trust Fund is located
and the imposition of such tax would be avoided by the appointment of a
different trustee, then the Depositor may remove the Trustee and appoint a
successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which shall
be delivered to the Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee.
The Holders of Certificates entitled to a majority of the Voting
Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by
written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or
their attorneys in fact duly authorized, one complete set of which shall be
delivered to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so
appointed. The successor trustee shall notify each Rating Agency of any removal
of the Trustee.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to this Section 8.08 shall become effective upon
acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 8.09.
Section 8.09 Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as
provided in Section 8.08 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor
and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment
hereunder and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee
shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed
or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally
named as trustee herein. The Depositor and the predecessor trustee shall execute
and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be
required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor
trustee all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section 8.09 unless at the time of its acceptance, the successor trustee is
eligible under Section 8.07 and its appointment does not adversely affect the
then current rating of the Certificates.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in
this Section 8.09, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such
trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates. If the Depositor fails to mail
such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor
trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the
expense of the Depositor.
Section 8.10 Merger or Consolidation of the Trustee. Any corporation
into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation
succeeding to the business of the Trustee shall be the successor of the Trustee
hereunder; provided, that such corporation shall be eligible under Section 8.07
without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of any
of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In
connection with the succession to the Trustee under this Agreement by any Person
(i) into which the Trustee may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be
appointed as a successor to the Trustee, the Trustee shall notify the Depositor
and the Securities Administrator of such succession or appointment and shall
furnish to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator in writing and in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Securities
Administrator, all information reasonably necessary for the Depositor and the
Securities Administrator to accurately and timely report, pursuant to Section
8.15(e), the event under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act (if
such reports under the Exchange Act are required to be filed under the Exchange
Act).
Section 8.11 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part
of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the time be
located, the Trustee shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all
instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as co-trustee or co-trustees
jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or
any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such
capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust
Fund or any part thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other
provisions of this Section 8.11, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and
trusts as the Trustee may consider appropriate. No co-trustee or separate
trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a
successor trustee under Section 8.09 and no notice to Certificateholders of the
appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under
Section 8.09.
Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted
by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(a) To the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this
Section 8.11, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed
upon the Trustee, except for the obligation of the Trustee under this Agreement
to advance funds on behalf of the Master Servicer (as successor servicer), shall
be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such
separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate
trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee
joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any
jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as
Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee
shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event
such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to
the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be
exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but
solely at the direction of the Trustee;
(b) No trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable because of
any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder and such appointment shall
not, and shall not be deemed to, constitute any such separate trustee or
co-trustee as agent of the Trustee;
(c) The Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove
any separate trustee or co-trustee; and
(d) The Trust Fund, and not the Trustee, shall be liable for the
payment of reasonable compensation, reimbursement and indemnification to any
such separate trustee or co-trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the separate trustees and co-trustees, when
and as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance
of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified
in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately,
as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection and indemnity to, the
Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy
thereof given to the Servicer and the Depositor.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the
Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee.
Section 8.12 Tax Matters. It is intended that the assets with
respect to which any REMIC election pertaining to the Trust Fund is to be made,
as set forth in the Preliminary Statement, shall constitute, and that the
conduct of matters relating to such assets shall be such as to qualify such
assets as, a "real estate mortgage investment conduit" as defined in, and in
accordance with, the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the
Securities Administrator covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and
the Securities Administrator is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of
each Trust REMIC and that in such capacity it shall:
(a) prepare (and the Trustee shall sign) and file, in a timely
manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit (REMIC) Income Tax Return
(Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by the IRS) and prepare (and the
Trustee shall sign) and file with the IRS and applicable state or local tax
authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year with respect
to each Trust REMIC containing such information and at the times and in the
manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations,
or rules, and furnish to Certificateholders the schedules, statements or
information at such times and in such manner as may be required thereby;
(b) within thirty days of the Closing Date, apply for an employer
identification number from the IRS via Form SS-4 or any other acceptable method
for all Trust REMICs and the grantor trust and shall also furnish to the IRS, on
Form 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title, address,
and telephone number of the person that the Holders of the Certificates may
contact for tax information relating thereto, together with such additional
information as may be required by such Form, and update such information at the
time or times in the manner required by the Code;
(c) make an election that each Trust REMIC be treated as a REMIC on
the federal tax return for its first taxable year (and, if necessary, under
applicable state law);
(d) prepare and forward to the Certificateholders and to the IRS
and, if necessary, state tax authorities, all information returns and reports as
and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC
Provisions, including the calculation of any original issue discount using the
prepayment assumption (as described in the Prospectus Supplement);
(e) provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed
on the Transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is a "Non-Permitted
Transferee," or an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a
Non-Permitted Transferee, or a pass through entity in which a Non-Permitted
Transferee is the record holder of an interest (the reasonable cost of computing
and furnishing such information may be charged to the Person liable for such
tax);
(f) to the extent that they are under its control, conduct matters
relating to such assets at all times that any Certificates are Outstanding so as
to maintain the status of each Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC
Provisions;
(g) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take
any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of either Trust
REMIC created hereunder;
(h) pay, from the sources specified in the last paragraph of this
Section 8.12, the amount of any federal or state tax, including prohibited
transaction taxes as described below, imposed on each Trust REMIC before its
termination when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation
shall not prevent the Securities Administrator or any other appropriate Person
from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent
the Securities Administrator from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted
by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings);
(i) cause federal, state or local income tax or information returns
to be signed by the Trustee or, if required by applicable tax law, the
Securities Administrator or such other Person as may be required to sign such
returns by the Code or state or local laws, regulations or rules;
(j) maintain records relating to each of the Trust REMICs, including
the income, expenses, assets, and liabilities thereof on a calendar year basis
and on the accrual method of accounting and the fair market value and adjusted
basis of the assets determined at such intervals as may be required by the Code,
as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or
information; and
(k) as and when necessary and appropriate, represent each Trust
REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination
or audit by any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative
adjustment as to any taxable year of each Trust REMIC, enter into settlement
agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of
limitations relating to any tax item of either Trust REMIC, and otherwise act on
behalf of each Trust REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy
involving it.
The Holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Class A-R
Certificates shall act as Tax Matters Person for each Trust REMIC within the
meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d), and the Securities
Administrator is hereby designated as agent of such Certificateholder for such
purpose (or if the Securities Administrator is not so permitted, such Holder
shall be the Tax Matters Person in accordance with the REMIC Provisions). In
such capacity, the Securities Administrator shall, as and when necessary and
appropriate, represent each Trust REMIC in any administrative or judicial
proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing
authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of each
Trust REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any governmental taxing
agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any tax item of either
Trust REMIC, and otherwise act on behalf of each Trust REMIC in relation to any
tax matter or controversy involving it.
The Securities Administrator shall treat the rights of the Class A-X
Certificateholders to receive amounts deposited in the Carryover Shortfall
Reserve Fund Account and the rights of the Principal Certificateholders to
receive Carryover Shortfall Amounts as the beneficial ownership of interests in
a grantor trust, and not as an obligation of either Trust REMIC created
hereunder, for federal income tax purposes. The Securities Administrator shall
file or cause to be filed with the IRS together with Form 1099 or such other
form as may be applicable and shall furnish or cause to be furnished, to the
Principal Certificateholders and the Offered Certificateholders, the respective
amounts set forth above that are received, in the time or times and in the
manner required by the Code.
To enable the Securities Administrator to perform its duties under
this Agreement, the Depositor shall provide to the Securities Administrator
within ten days after the Closing Date all information or data that the
Securities Administrator requests in writing and determines to be relevant for
tax purposes to the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates,
including the price, yield, prepayment assumption, and projected cash flows of
the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Moreover, the Depositor shall provide
information to the Securities Administrator concerning the value to each Class
of Principal Certificates of the right to receive Carryover Shortfall Amounts
from the Carryover Shortfall Reserve Fund Account. Unless otherwise advised by
the Depositor, for federal income tax purposes, the Securities Administrator is
hereby directed to assign a value of zero to the right of each Holder allocating
the purchase price of an initial Principal Certificateholder between such right
and the related Upper Tier Regular Interest. Thereafter, the Depositor shall
provide to the Securities Administrator promptly upon written request therefor
any additional information or data that the Securities Administrator may, from
time to time, reasonably request to enable the Securities Administrator to
perform its duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Depositor
shall not be required to provide any information regarding the Mortgage Loans
after the Closing Date or any information that the Servicer is required to
provide to the Securities Administrator. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the
Securities Administrator for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims, or
expenses of the Securities Administrator arising from any errors or
miscalculations of the Securities Administrator that result from any failure of
the Depositor to provide, pursuant to this paragraph, accurate information or
data to the Securities Administrator on a timely basis.
The Securities Administrator shall not (i) cause the creation of any
interests in either Trust REMIC other than the regular and residual interests
set forth in the Preliminary Statement, (ii) receive any amount representing a
fee or other compensation for services (except as otherwise permitted by this
Agreement) or (iii) otherwise knowingly or intentionally take any action, cause
the Trust Fund to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken)
any action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more
specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not
taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of either Trust REMIC
as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon either Trust REMIC or
the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on "prohibited
transactions" as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on
contributions to a Trust REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code, or the
tax on "net income from foreclosure property") unless the Securities
Administrator receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Trust Fund,
but in no event at the expense of the Securities Administrator), to the effect
that the contemplated action will not, with respect to the Trust Fund, result in
the imposition of a tax upon either Trust REMIC created hereunder or endanger
the status of either Trust REMIC.
If any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of either Trust
REMIC as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the "net income from
foreclosure property" of the Lower-Tier REMIC, as defined in Section 860G(c) of
the Code, on any contribution to either Trust REMIC after the Startup Day
pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, including
any minimum tax imposed on either Trust REMIC pursuant to Sections 23153 and
24874 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, if not paid as otherwise
provided for herein, the tax shall be paid by (i) the Securities Administrator
if such tax arises out of or results from negligence of the Securities
Administrator in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement,
(ii) the Servicer, in the case of any such minimum tax, and otherwise if such
tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Servicer of any of its
obligations under the IndyMac Servicing Agreement, (iii) the Original Loan
Seller if such tax arises out of or results from the Original Loan Seller's
obligation to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the IndyMac Purchase
Agreement or (iv) in all other cases, or if the Securities Administrator, the
Servicer or the Original Loan Seller fails to honor its obligations under the
preceding clause (i), (ii), or (iii), any such tax will be paid with amounts
otherwise to be distributed to the Certificateholders, as provided in Section
4.01(a).
For as long as each Trust REMIC shall exist, the Securities
Administrator shall act as specifically required herein, and the Securities
Administrator shall comply with any directions of the Depositor stating that
such directions are being given to assure such continuing treatment. In
particular, the Securities Administrator shall not (a) sell or authorize the
sale of all or any portion of the Mortgage Loans or of any investment of
deposits in an Account unless such sale is as a result of a purchase or
repurchase of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement or (b) accept any
contribution to either Trust REMIC after the Startup Day without receipt of an
Opinion of Counsel that such action described in clause (a) or (b) will not
result in the imposition of a tax on either Trust REMIC or cause either Trust
REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding.
The grantor trust shall be treated as a WHFIT that is a NMWHFIT. The
Securities Administrator shall report as required under the WHFIT Regulations to
the extent such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Securities
Administrator to do so, and is not in its possession, is provided to the
Securities Administrator on a timely basis. The Securities Administrator is
hereby directed to assume that DTC is the only "middleman" (as such term is
defined in the WHFIT Regulations) unless the Depositor provides the Securities
Administrator with the identities of other "middlemen" that are
Certificateholders. The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to rely on
the first sentence of this subparagraph and shall be entitled to indemnification
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in the event that the IRS makes a
determination that the first sentence of this subparagraph is incorrect.
The Securities Administrator, in its discretion, shall report
required WHFIT information using either the cash or accrual method, except to
the extent the WHFIT Regulations specifically require a different method. The
Securities Administrator shall be under no obligation to determine whether any
Certificateholder or other beneficial owner of a Certificate, to the extent the
Securities Administrator knows of any other beneficial owner of a Certificate,
uses the cash or accrual method. The Securities Administrator shall make
available information as required by the WHFIT Regulations to Certificateholders
annually. In addition, the Securities Administrator shall not be responsible or
liable for providing subsequently amended, revised or updated information to any
Certificateholder, unless requested by the Certificateholder.
The Securities Administrator shall not be liable for failure to meet
the reporting requirements of the WHFIT Regulations nor for any penalties
thereunder if such failure is due to: (i) the lack of reasonably necessary
information that is not in its possession being provided to the Securities
Administrator or (ii) incomplete, inaccurate or untimely information being
provided to the Securities Administrator. Absent receipt of information
regarding any sale of Certificates, including the price, amount of proceeds and
date of sale from the beneficial owner thereof or the Depositor, the Securities
Administrator may assume there is no secondary market trading of WHFIT
interests.
To the extent required by the WHFIT Regulations, the Securities
Administrator shall use reasonable efforts to publish on an appropriate website
the CUSIP Numbers for the Certificates that represent ownership of a WHFIT. The
CUSIP Numbers so published will represent the Rule 144A CUSIP Numbers. The
Securities Administrator shall make reasonable good faith efforts to keep the
website accurate and updated to the extent CUSIP Numbers have been received. The
Securities Administrator shall not be liable for investor reporting delays that
result from the receipt of inaccurate or untimely CUSIP Number information.
The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to additional
reasonable compensation for changes in reporting required in respect of the
WHFIT Regulations that arise as a result of a change in the WHFIT Regulations or
a change in interpretation of the WHFIT Regulations by the IRS, if such change
requires, in the Securities Administrator's sole discretion, a material increase
in the Securities Administrator's reporting obligations in respect of the
related Grantor Trust.
Section 8.13 Annual Statement as to Compliance. The Master Servicer
and Securities Administrator shall deliver (or otherwise make available) and
cause any Subservicer or Subcontractor that meets the criteria in Item
1108(a)(2)(i), (ii) or (iii) of Regulation AB to deliver, to the Depositor, the
Rating Agencies on or before March 15th of each calendar year, commencing in
2009, an Officer's Certificate stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a
review of the activities of the Master Servicer and Securities Administrator, as
applicable, during the preceding calendar year and of its 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 Master Servicer and
Securities Administrator, as applicable, has fulfilled all of its obligations
under this Agreement in all material respects, throughout such year, or, if
there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation in any
material respect, specifying each such default known to such officers and the
nature and status thereof. Promptly after receipt of each such Officer's
Certificate, the Depositor shall review such Officer's Certificate and, if
applicable, consult with the Master Servicer and Securities Administrator, as
applicable, as to the nature of any defaults by the Master Servicer and
Securities Administrator, as applicable, in the fulfillment of any of the Master
Servicer's and Securities Administrator's obligations, as applicable. The
obligations of the Master Servicer and Securities Administrator, as applicable,
under this Section apply to each Master Servicer and Securities Administrator,
that acted as Master Servicer and Securities Administrator during the applicable
period, whether or not such Person is acting as the Master Servicer and
Securities Administrator at the time such Officer's Certificate is required to
be delivered.
Section 8.14 Annual Reports on Assessment of Compliance with
Servicing Criteria; Annual Independent Public Accountants' Attestation Report.
(a) Not later than March 15th of each calendar year commencing in
2009, the Master Servicer, Securities Administrator and Custodian shall deliver,
and shall cause each Subcontractor utilized by the Master Servicer, Securities
Administrator and Custodian, as applicable, and determined by the Master
Servicer, Securities Administrator and Custodian, as applicable, pursuant to
Section 8.01 to be "participating in a servicing function" within the meaning of
Item 1122 of Regulation AB (in each case, a "Servicing Function Participant"),
to deliver, each at its own expense, to the Depositor, a report on an assessment
of compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to it that contains (A) a
statement by such party of its responsibility for assessing compliance with the
Servicing Criteria applicable to it, (B) a statement that such party used the
Servicing Criteria to assess compliance with the applicable Servicing Criteria,
(C) such party's assessment of compliance with the applicable Servicing Criteria
as of and for the period ending the end of the fiscal year covered by the Form
10-K required to be filed pursuant to Section 8.15, including, if there has been
any material instance of noncompliance with the applicable Servicing Criteria, a
discussion of each such failure and the nature and status thereof, and (D) a
statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation
report on such Person's assessment of compliance with the applicable Servicing
Criteria as of and for such period. Each such assessment of compliance report
shall be addressed to the Depositor and signed by an authorized officer of such
Person, and shall address each of the applicable Servicing Criteria set forth on
Exhibit O hereto, or as set forth in the notification furnished to the Depositor
pursuant to Section 8.14(c). The Master Servicer, Securities Administrator and
Custodian each hereby acknowledges and agrees that its assessments of compliance
will cover the items identified on Exhibit O hereto as being covered by the
Master Servicer, Securities Administrator and Custodian, as applicable. The
parties to this Agreement acknowledge that where a particular Servicing Criteria
has multiple components, each party's assessment of compliance and related
attestation of compliance) will relate only to those components that are
applicable to such party. Promptly after receipt of each such report on
assessment of compliance, the Depositor shall review each such report and, if
applicable, consult with the Master Servicer, Securities Administrator or
Custodian, as applicable, as to the nature of any material instance of
noncompliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to it (and each Servicing
Function Participant engaged or utilized by the Master Servicer, Securities
Administrator or Custodian, as applicable), as the case may be. The Custodian
shall not be required to cause the delivery of any such assessments by March
15th in any given year so long as Form 10-K is not required to be filed in
respect of the Trust for the preceding calendar year.
(b) Not later than March 15th of each calendar year commencing in
2009, the Master Servicer, Securities Administrator and Custodian shall cause,
and the Master Servicer, Securities Administrator and Custodian shall cause each
Servicing Function Participant utilized by such Person, to cause, each at its
own expense, a registered public accounting firm (which may also render other
services to such party) and that is a member of the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants to furnish a report to the Depositor, with a copy
to the Rating Agencies, to the effect that (i) it has obtained a representation
regarding certain matters from the management of such Person, which includes an
assertion that such Person has complied with the Servicing Criteria applicable
to it pursuant to Section 8.14(a) and (ii) on the basis of an examination
conducted by such firm in accordance with standards for attestation engagements
issued or adopted by the PCAOB, that attests to and reports on such Person's
assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to it. In the
event that an overall opinion cannot be expressed, such registered public
accounting firm shall state in such report why it was unable to express such an
opinion. Each such related accountant's attestation report shall be made in
accordance with Rules 1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Such report must be available for general
use and not contain restricted use language. The Custodian shall not be required
to cause the delivery of any such attestation required by this paragraph in any
given year so long as Form 10-K is not required to be filed in respect of the
Trust for the preceding calendar year.
(c) No later than February 1 of each fiscal year, commencing in
2009, the Master Servicer, Securities Administrator and Custodian shall notify
the Depositor as to the name of each Servicing Function Participant utilized by
it during the preceding calendar year, and each such notice will specify what
specific Servicing Criteria will be addressed in the report on assessment of
compliance prepared by such Servicing Function Participant in each case, to the
extent of any change from the prior year's notice, if any. When the Master
Servicer, Securities Administrator or Custodian submits its assessment pursuant
to Section 8.14(a), the Master Servicer, Securities Administrator or Custodian
will also at such time include the assessment (and related attestation pursuant
to Section 8.14(b)) of each Servicing Function Participant utilized by it.
Section 8.15 Periodic Filings. (a) The Master Servicer, Securities
Administrator, Custodian and Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with the
Depositor in connection with the reporting requirements of the Trust under the
Exchange Act. The Securities Administrator shall prepare for execution by the
Master Servicer on behalf of the Depositor any Form 8-K (other than any Form 8-K
related to the filing of this Agreement and any amendments thereto), Form 10-D
and Form 10-K required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the
Commission thereunder, in order to permit the timely filing thereof, and the
Securities Administrator shall file (via the Commission's Electronic Data
Gathering and Retrieval System) such Forms executed by the Master Servicer.
(b) Within 15 days after each Distribution Date (subject to
permitted extensions under the Exchange Act), the Securities Administrator shall
prepare and file, and the Master Servicer shall sign, on behalf of the Trust any
Form 10-D required by the Exchange Act, in form and substance as required by the
Exchange Act. The Securities Administrator shall file each Form 10-D with a copy
of the related Monthly Statement attached thereto. Any disclosure in addition to
the Monthly Statement that is required to be included on Form 10-D ("Additional
Form 10-D Disclosure") shall be reported to the Depositor and the Securities
Administrator by the parties set forth on Exhibit P and directed and approved by
the Depositor pursuant to the following paragraph and the Securities
Administrator shall compile such disclosure pursuant to the following paragraph.
The Securities Administrator will have no duty or liability for any failure
hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, except as
set forth in the next paragraph.
As set forth on Exhibit P hereto, within 5 calendar days after the
related Distribution Date, (i) certain parties to this Agreement shall be
required to provide to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor, to the
extent known by such applicable parties, in XXXXX-compatible form, or in such
other form as otherwise agreed upon by the Securities Administrator and such
party, the form and substance of any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, if
applicable (together with an Additional Disclosure Notification in the form of
Exhibit S hereto called "Additional Disclosure Notification") and (ii) the
Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may
be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D. The
Securities Administrator has no duty under this Agreement to monitor or enforce
the performance by the parties listed on Exhibit P (other than with respect to
the Securities Administrator) of their duties under this paragraph or
proactively solicit from such parties any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure
information; provided, however, the Securities Administrator shall cooperate
with the Depositor in a reasonable manner in order for the Depositor to comply
with its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act as set forth in Section
8.15(a). The Servicer shall be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses
assessed or incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection with any
Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D pursuant to this Section 8.15(b).
After preparing the Form 10-D, the Securities Administrator shall
forward electronically a copy of the Form 10-D to the Depositor for review and
verification by the Depositor. No later than two Business Days following the
10th calendar day after the related Distribution Date, a duly authorized
representative of the Master Servicer shall sign the Form 10-D and return an
electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 10-D (with an original executed hard
copy to follow by overnight mail) to the Securities Administrator and the
Depositor, and no later than 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the 15th calendar
day after such Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall file such
Form 10-D with the Commission. If a Form 10-D cannot be filed on time or if a
previously filed Form 10-D needs to be amended, the Securities Administrator
will follow the procedures set forth in Section 8.15(e)(ii). Promptly (but no
later than one Business Day) after filing with the Commission, the Securities
Administrator will make available on its internet website (as of the Closing
Date located at xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx) a final executed copy of each Form 10-D
prepared and filed by the Securities Administrator. The signing party at the
Master Servicer can be contacted at the Master Servicer's address for notices
set forth in Section 12.05(c)(iii), or such other address as to which the Master
Servicer has provided prior written notice to the Securities Administrator. The
parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Master
Servicer and the Securities Administrator of their duties under this Section
8.15(b) related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 10-D is
contingent upon such parties and the Servicer and any Subservicer or Servicing
Function Participant engaged by the Servicer strictly observing all applicable
deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Section 8.15(b) and any
other applicable agreement. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Securities
Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage, or claim
arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute
and/or timely file such Form 10-D, where such failure results from the
Securities Administrator's inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a
timely basis, any information from any party hereto (other than the Securities
Administrator or any Subcontractor utilized by the Securities Administrator) or
the Servicer or any Subservicer or Servicing Function Participant engaged by the
Servicer needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-D, not
resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
Form 10-D requires the registrant to indicate (by checking "yes" or
"no") that it "(1) has filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter
period that the registrant was required to file such reports), and (2) has been
subject to such filing requirements for the past 90 days." The Depositor hereby
represents to the Securities Administrator that the Depositor has filed or
caused to be filed all such required reports during the preceding 12 months and
that it has been subject to such filing requirement for the past 90 days. The
Depositor shall notify the Securities Administrator in writing no later than the
fifth calendar day after the related Distribution Date with respect to the
filing of a report on Form 10-D if the answer to the questions should be no. The
Securities Administrator shall be entitled to rely on such representations in
preparing, executing and/or filing any such report.
(c) On or before 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the
Trust or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange Act (the "10-K
Filing Deadline"), commencing in March 2009, the Securities Administrator shall
prepare, the Master Servicer shall execute, and the Securities Administrator
shall file on behalf of the Trust a Form 10-K, in form and substance as required
by the Exchange Act. Each such Form 10-K shall include the following items, in
each case to the extent they have been delivered to the Securities Administrator
within the applicable time frames set forth in this Agreement or the IndyMac
Servicing Agreement, as the case may be (i) an annual compliance statement for
the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Servicer and each
Subservicer engaged by the Servicer, as set forth under Section 8.13, and under
the IndyMac Servicing Agreement, (ii)(A) the annual reports on assessment of
compliance with servicing criteria for the Securities Administrator, the Master
Servicer, the Servicer, the Custodian, each Servicing Function Participant
utilized by the Servicer, the Custodian, the Securities Administrator or the
Master Servicer, as set forth under Section 8.14 and the IndyMac Servicing
Agreement, and (B) if any such report on assessment of compliance with servicing

10-K, disclosure that such report is not included and an explanation why such
report is not included, (iii)(A) the registered public accounting firm
attestation report for the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the
Servicer, the Custodian, each Servicing Function Participant utilized by the

(B) if any registered public accounting firm attestation report set forth under

report is not included, and (iv) a certification in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit J, with such changes as may be necessary or appropriate as a result of
changes promulgated by the Commission (the "Sarbanes Certification"), which
shall be signed by the senior officer of the Master Servicer in charge of the
master servicing function. Any disclosure or information in addition to (i)
through (iv) above that is required to be included on Form 10-K ("Additional
Form 10-K Disclosure") shall be reported to the Depositor and the Securities
Administrator by the parties set forth on Exhibit Q and directed and approved by
the Depositor pursuant to the following paragraph and the Securities
Administrator shall compile such disclosure pursuant to the following paragraph.
The Securities Administrator will have no duty or liability for any failure
hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure, except as
set forth in the next paragraph.
As set forth on Exhibit Q hereto, no later than March 1 of each year
(or, in the case of the Servicer, March 5th of each year) that the Trust is
subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, commencing in 2009, the
parties, to the extent set forth on Exhibit Q, shall be required to provide to
the Securities Administrator and the Depositor, to the extent known by such
applicable parties, in XXXXX-compatible form, or in such other form as otherwise
agreed upon by the Securities Administrator and such party, the form and
substance of any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure set forth on Exhibit Q
applicable to such party (and shall include with such Additional Form 10-K
Disclosure an Additional Disclosure Notification in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit S), and the Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or
disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-K
Disclosure on Form 10-K. The Securities Administrator has no duty under this
Agreement to monitor or enforce the performance by the parties listed on Exhibit
Q (other than with respect to the Securities Administrator) of their duties
under this paragraph or proactively solicit from such parties any Additional
Form 10-K Disclosure information; provided, however, the Securities
Administrator shall cooperate with the Depositor in a reasonable manner in order
for the Depositor to comply with its reporting obligations under the Exchange
Act as set forth in Section 8.15(a). The Servicer will be responsible for any
reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Securities
Administrator in connection with including any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure
on Form 10-K pursuant to this paragraph. The Securities Administrator shall
compile all such information provided to it in a Form 10-K prepared by it.
After preparing the Form 10-K, the Securities Administrator shall
forward electronically a copy of the Form 10-K to the Depositor for approval.
Form 10-K requires the registrant to indicate (by checking "yes" or "no") that
it "(1) has filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the
registrant was required to file such reports), and (2) has been subject to such
filing requirements for the past 90 days." The Depositor hereby represents to
the Securities Administrator that the Depositor has filed all such required
reports during the preceding 12 months and that it has been subject to such
filing requirement for the past 90 days. The Depositor shall notify the
Securities Administrator in writing, no later than the 15th calendar day of
March in any year in which the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of
the Exchange Act, if the answer to the questions should be "no." The Securities
Administrator shall be entitled to rely on such representations in preparing
and/or filing any such Form 10-K. No later than 5:00 p.m. EST on the 4th
Business Day prior to the 10-K Filing Deadline, a senior officer of the Master
Servicer in charge of the master servicing function shall sign the Form 10-K and
return an electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 10-K (with an original
executed hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to the Securities Administrator.
If a Form 10-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-K needs
to be amended, the Securities Administrator will follow the procedures set forth
in Section 8.15(e)(ii). Promptly (but no later than one Business Day) after
filing with the Commission, the Securities Administrator will make available on
its internet website a final executed copy of each Form 10-K prepared and filed
by the Securities Administrator. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that
the performance by the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator of its
duties under this Section 8.15(c) related to the timely preparation, execution
and filing of Form 10-K is contingent upon such parties and the Servicer (and
any Subservicer or Servicing Function Participant engaged by the Servicer)
observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this
Section 8.15(c), Section 8.15(d), Section 8.13 and Section 8.14 or any other
applicable agreement. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Securities
Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim
arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute
and/or timely file such Form 10-K, where such failure results from the
Securities Administrator's inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis,
any information from any party hereto or any Subservicer or Servicing Function
Participant engaged by any such party hereto (other than the Securities
Administrator or any Servicing Function Participant utilized by the Securities
Administrator) needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-K,
not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
(d) Each Form 10-K shall include a Sarbanes Certification, required
to be included therewith pursuant to the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act. The Securities
Administrator shall provide, and shall cause any Servicing Function Participant
engaged by it to provide, to the Person who signs the Sarbanes Certification
(the "Certifying Person"), by March 1 (with a ten-calendar day cure period) of
each year in which the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the
Exchange Act and otherwise within a reasonable period of time upon request, a
certification (each, a "Back-Up Certification"), in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit K, upon which the Certifying Person, the entity for which the Certifying
Person acts as an officer, and such entity's officers, directors and Affiliates
(collectively with the Certifying Person, "Certification Parties") can
reasonably rely. The senior officer of the Master Servicer in charge of the
master servicing function shall serve as the Certifying Person on behalf of the
Trust. Such officer of the Certifying Person can be contacted by e-mail at
xxx.xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx or by facsimile at 000-000-0000. In the
event any such party or any Servicing Function Participant engaged by such party
is terminated or resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or any
applicable sub-servicing agreement, as the case may be, such party shall provide
a Back-Up Certification to the Certifying Person pursuant to this Section
8.15(d) with respect to the period of time it was subject to this Agreement or
any applicable sub-servicing agreement, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (i) the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator shall not be
required to deliver a Back-Up Certification to each other if both are the same
Person and the Master Servicer is the Certifying Person and (ii) the Master
Servicer shall not be obligated to sign the Sarbanes Certification in the event
that it does not receive any Back-Up Certification required to be furnished to
it pursuant to this section or the IndyMac Servicing Agreement or Custodial
Agreement.
(e) (i) The obligations set forth in paragraphs (a) through (d) of
this Section shall only apply with respect to periods for which reports are
required to be filed with respect to the Trust under the Exchange Act. On or
prior to January 30 of the first year in which the Securities Administrator is
able to do so under applicable law, the Securities Administrator shall prepare
and file a Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust, with a
copy to the Depositor. At the start of any fiscal year, including any fiscal
year after the filing of a Form 15 Suspension Notification, if the number of
Holders of the Offered Certificates of record exceeds the number set forth in
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act or the regulations promulgated pursuant
thereto which would cause the Trust to again become subject to the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act, the Securities Administrator shall recommence
preparing and filing reports on Form 10-K, Form 10-D and Form 8-K as required
pursuant to this Section 8.15 and the parties hereto shall again have the
obligations set forth in this Section 8.15.
(ii) In the event that the Securities Administrator is unable to
timely file with the Commission all or any required portion of any Form
8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K required to be filed pursuant to this
Agreement because required disclosure information was either not delivered
to it or delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set forth in this
Agreement, the Securities Administrator will promptly notify
electronically the Depositor. In the case of Form 10-D and Form 10-K, the
Depositor and Securities Administrator will thereupon prepare and file,
and the other parties shall cooperate in connection with such preparation
and filing, a Form 12b-25 and a Form 10-D/A and Form 10-K/A as applicable,
pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act. In the case of Form 8-K, the
Securities Administrator will, upon receipt of all required Form 8-K
Disclosure Information and, upon the approval and direction of the
Depositor, include such disclosure information on the next succeeding Form
10-D. In the event that any previously filed Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form
10-K needs to be amended, in connection with any Additional Form 10-D
Disclosure (other than, in the case of Form 10-D, for the purpose of
restating any Monthly Statement), Additional Form 10-K Disclosure or Form
8-K Disclosure Information, the Securities Administrator will notify the
Depositor and such other parties to the transaction as are affected by
such amendment, and the Depositor and the Securities Administrator shall
prepare and file, and such other parties will cooperate in connection with
such preparation and filing, any necessary Form 8-K/A, Form 10-D/A or Form
10-K/A. Any Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, Form 10-D
or Form 10-K shall be signed by a duly authorized representative or a
senior officer in charge of master servicing of the Master Servicer, as
applicable. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance
by the Master Servicer and Securities Administrator of their duties under
this Section 8.15(e) related to the timely preparation, execution and
filing of Form 15, a Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, Form 10-D
or Form 10-K is contingent upon each such party and the Servicer observing
all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under the
IndyMac Servicing Agreement. Neither the Master Servicer nor the
Securities Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense,
damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly
prepare, execute and/or timely file any such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any
amendments to Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K, where such failure results
from the Securities Administrator's inability or failure to obtain or
receive, on a timely basis, any information from any party hereto, the
Servicer or any Subservicer or any Servicing Function Participant engaged
by any such party hereto or under the IndyMac Servicing Agreement (other
than the Securities Administrator or any Servicing Function Participant
utilized by the Securities Administrator) needed to prepare, arrange for
execution or file such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Form 8-K,
Form 10-D or Form 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith
or willful misconduct.
Within four (4) Business Days after the occurrence of an event
requiring disclosure on Form 8-K (each such event, a "Reportable Event"), and
also if requested by the Depositor, the Securities Administrator shall prepare
and file on behalf of the Trust any Form 8-K, as required by the Exchange Act,
provided that the Depositor shall file the initial Form 8-K in connection with
the issuance of the Certificates. Any disclosure or information related to a
Reportable Event or that is otherwise required to be included on Form 8-K
(other than the initial Form 8-K) ("Form 8-K Disclosure Information") shall be
reported to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator by the parties set
forth on Exhibit R and directed and approved by the Depositor pursuant to the
following paragraph. The Securities Administrator will have no duty or
liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Form 8-K
Disclosure Information or any Form 8-K, except as set forth in the next
paragraph.
As set forth on Exhibit R hereto, for so long as the Trust is
subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, no later than the end of
business (New York City time) on the 2nd Business Day after the occurrence of a
Reportable Event the parties, to the extent set forth on Exhibit R, shall be
required to provide to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor, to the
extent known by such applicable parties, in XXXXX-compatible form, or in such
other form as otherwise agreed upon by the Securities Administrator and such
party, the form and substance of any Form 8-K Disclosure Information, if
applicable (and shall include with such Form 8-K Disclosure Information), an
Additional Disclosure Notification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit S, and
the Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case
may be, the inclusion of the Form 8-K Disclosure Information on Form 8-K. The
Securities Administrator has no duty under this Agreement to monitor or enforce
the performance by the parties listed on Exhibit R (other than with respect to
the Securities Administrator) of their duties under this paragraph or
proactively solicit or procure from such parties any Form 8-K Disclosure
Information; provided, however, the Securities Administrator shall cooperate
with the Depositor in a reasonable manner in order for the Depositor to comply
with its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act as set forth in Section
8.15(a). The Servicer will be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses
assessed or incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection with any Form
8-K Disclosure Information on Form 8-K pursuant to this paragraph. The
Securities Administrator shall compile all such information provided to it in a
Form 8-K prepared by it.
After preparing the Form 8-K, the Securities Administrator shall no
later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the 3rd Business Day after the
Reportable Event but in no case without having had notice for 24 hours forward
electronically a copy of the Form 8-K to the Depositor for review. No later than
12:00 noon (New York City time) on the 4th Business Day after the Reportable
Event, a duly authorized representative of the Master Servicer shall sign the
Form 8-K and return an electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 8-K (with an
original executed hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to the Securities
Administrator. If a Form 8-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed
Form 8-K needs to be amended, the Securities Administrator will follow the
procedures set forth in this Section 8.15(e)(ii). Promptly (but no later than
one Business Day) after filing with the Commission, the Securities Administrator
will make available on its internet website a final executed copy of each Form
8-K prepared and filed by the Securities Administrator. The signing party at the
Master Servicer can be contacted at the Master Servicer's address for notices
set forth in Section 12.05, or such other address as to which the Depositor has
provided prior written notice to the Securities Administrator. The parties to
this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Master Servicer and the
Securities Administrator of their duties under this Section 8.15(e) related to
the timely preparation, arrangement for execution and filing of Form 8-K is
contingent upon such parties and the Servicer and any Subservicer or Servicing
Function Participant engaged by the Servicer observing all applicable deadlines
in the performance of their duties under this Section 8.15(e) or any other
applicable agreement. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Securities
Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim
arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute
and/or timely file such Form 8-K, where such failure results from the Securities
Administrator's inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis,
any information from any party hereto (other than the Securities Administrator
or any Subcontractor utilized by the Securities Administrator) the Servicer or
any Subservicer or Servicing Function Participant engaged by the Servicer needed
to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 8-K, not resulting from its
own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
(f) The Securities Administrator shall have no liability for any
loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or resulting from (i) the accuracy
or inaccuracy of any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, Additional Form 10-K
Disclosure or Form 8-K Disclosure Information (excluding any information therein
provided by the Securities Administrator or any Subcontractor utilized by the
Securities Administrator) provided to the Securities Administrator in connection
with the preparation of Forms 10-D, 10-K and 8-K pursuant to this Section 8.15,
or (ii) the failure of the Depositor to approve for filing any Forms 10-D, 10-K
and 8-K required to be prepared by the Securities Administrator pursuant to this
Section 8.15, in either case, not resulting from the Securities Administrator's
own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
Section 8.16 [Reserved]
Section 8.17 Monthly Data File. The Securities Administrator shall
make available on the Securities Administrator's internet website a monthly loan
level data file (based solely on information provided by the Servicer)
containing data provided to the Securities Administrator by the Servicer,
available to those who are permitted to access the website, including the Rating
Agencies. Such data at a minimum shall contain the fields referenced in Exhibit
U.
Section 8.18 Custodial Responsibilities. (a) The Custodian shall
provide access to the Mortgage Loan Documents in possession of the Custodian
regarding the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property and the servicing thereof
to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the
Certificateholders, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of the
FDIC, such access being afforded only upon reasonable prior written request and
during normal business hours at the office of the Custodian. The Custodian shall
allow representatives of the above entities to photocopy any of the records and
documentation and shall provide equipment for that purpose at the expense of the
person requesting such access.
(b) The Custodian may resign from its obligations hereunder upon 60
days' prior written notice to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Securities Administrator and the Servicer. Such resignation shall take
effect upon (i) the appointment of a successor Custodian reasonably acceptable
to the Depositor within such 60 day period; and (ii) delivery of all Mortgage
Loan Files to the successor Custodian. The Trustee shall have the right, but not
the obligation, to become the successor Custodian. If no successor Custodian is
appointed within 60 days after written notice of the Custodian's resignation is
received by the Trustee, the Custodian may petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint a successor Custodian.
Upon such resignation and appointment of a successor Custodian, the
predecessor Custodian shall, at the predecessor Custodian's expense, promptly
transfer to the successor Custodian, as directed in writing by the Trustee, all
applicable Mortgage Files being administered under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust Fund, not the Custodian, shall bear the
costs relating to the transfer of Mortgage Files if the Custodian shall resign
with cause (including a Custodian's resignation due to the failure of the
Custodian to be paid all fees due to such Custodian hereunder).
(c) For so long as reports are required to be filed with the
Commission under the Exchange Act with respect to the Trust, the Custodian shall
not utilize any Subcontractor for the performance of its duties hereunder if
such Subcontractor would be "participating in the servicing function" within the
meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB without the prior written consent of the
Depositor, in its sole discretion.
(d) The Custodian shall indemnify the Depositor, the Purchaser and
any director, officer, employee, agent and affiliate of the Depositor or the
Purchaser and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonably and necessary legal fees and related
costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may
sustain in any way related to (i) the failure of the Custodian to deliver when
required any assessment of compliance required to be delivered by the Custodian
or (ii) any material misstatement or omission contained in any assessment of
compliance provided to be delivered by the Custodian. This indemnity shall
survive the termination of this Agreement or the earlier resignation or removal
of the Custodian.
Section 8.19 Limitations on Custodial Responsibilities.
(a) The Custodian shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect,
review or examine the Mortgage Files to determine that the contents thereof are
appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have been actually recorded
or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.
(b) The Custodian shall not be responsible for preparing or filing
any reports or returns relating to federal, state or local income taxes with
respect to this Agreement, other than for the Custodian's compensation or for
reimbursement of expenses.
(c) The Custodian shall not be responsible or liable for, and makes
no representation or warranty with respect to, the validity, adequacy,
perfection or priority of any lien upon or security interest in any Mortgage
File.
(d) The duties and obligations of the Custodian shall only be such
as are expressly set forth in this Agreement or as set forth in a written
amendment to this Agreement executed by the parties hereto or their successors
and assigns. In the event that any provision of this Agreement implies or
requires that action or forbearance be taken by a party, but is silent as to
which party has the duty to act or refrain from acting, the parties agree that
the Custodian shall not be the party required to take the action or refrain from
acting. In no event shall the Custodian have any responsibility to ascertain or
take action except as expressly provided herein.
(e) The Custodian makes no representations and shall have no
responsibilities (except as expressly set forth herein) as to the validity,
sufficiency, value, genuineness, ownership or transferability of any of the
Mortgage Loans.
(f) The Custodian shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or
for any act done or step taken or omitted by it, in good faith, or for any
mistake of fact or law, or for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in
connection therewith, except in the case of its negligent performance or
omission or its bad faith or willful misfeasance.
(g) The Custodian shall not be responsible to verify (i) the
validity, legality, enforceability, sufficiency, due authorization or
genuineness of any document in the Mortgage File or of any Mortgage Loans or
(ii) the collectibility, insurability, effectiveness including the authority or
capacity of any Person to execute or issue any document in the Mortgage File, or
suitability of any Mortgage Loans.
(h) The Custodian shall have no obligation to verify the receipt of
any such documents the existence of which was not made known to the Custodian by
receipt of the Mortgage File.
(i) The Custodian shall have no obligation to determine whether the
recordation of any document is necessary.
(j) Except as set forth in this Agreement, in no event shall the
Custodian or its directors, affiliates, officers, agents, and employees be held
liable for any special, indirect or consequential damages resulting from any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or in connection
herewith even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
(k) In order to comply with laws, rules, regulations and executive
orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions, including
those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering
("Applicable Law"), the Custodian is required to obtain, verify and record
certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a
business relationship with the Custodian. Accordingly, each of the parties
agrees to provide to the Custodian upon its request from time to time such
identifying information and documentation as may be available for such party in
order to enable the Custodian to comply with Applicable Law.
Any Person into which the Custodian may be merged or consolidated,
or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Custodian
shall be a party, or any person succeeding to the business of the Custodian,
shall be the successor of the Custodian 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.
ARTICLE IX
ADMINISTRATION OF THE
MORTGAGE LOANS BY THE MASTER SERVICER
Section 9.01 Duties of the Master Servicer; Enforcement of
Servicer's Obligations. (a) The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator, the Depositor and the Certificateholders, shall
monitor the performance of the Servicer's obligations under the IndyMac
Servicing Agreement, and (except as set forth below) shall use its reasonable
good faith efforts to cause the Servicer to duly and punctually perform its
duties and obligations thereunder. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of
which a Responsible Officer of the Master Servicer has actual knowledge, the
Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Securities Administrator and the
Trustee and shall specify in such notice the action, if any, the Master Servicer
plans to take in respect of such default. So long as an Event of Default shall
occur and be continuing, the Master Servicer shall take the actions specified in
Article VII.
If (i) the Servicer reports a delinquency on a monthly report and
(ii) the Servicer, by 11 a.m. (New York Time) on the Servicer Remittance Date,
neither makes an Advance nor provides the Securities Administrator and the
Master Servicer with an Officer's Certificate certifying that such an Advance
would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, then
the Master Servicer shall, pursuant to Section 7.02 in its capacity as successor
servicer, deposit in the Distribution Account not later than the Business Day
immediately preceding the related Distribution Date an Advance in an amount
equal to the difference between (x) with respect to each Scheduled Payment due
on a Mortgage Loan that is delinquent (other than Relief Act Interest
Shortfalls) and for which the Servicer was required to make an Advance pursuant
to this Agreement and (y) amounts deposited in the Collection Account to be used
for Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan, except to the extent the Master
Servicer determines any such Advance to be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. Subject to the foregoing and Section 7.02, the
Master Servicer shall continue to make such Advances for so long as the Servicer
is required to do so under the IndyMac Servicing Agreement. If applicable, on
the Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution Date, the Master
Servicer shall deliver an Officer's Certificate to the Trustee and the
Securities Administrator stating that the Master Servicer elects not to make an
Advance in a stated amount and detailing the reason(s) it deems the Advance to
be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. Any amounts
deposited by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall be net of
the Expense Fee for the related Mortgage Loans.
(b) The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of monitoring the
Servicer as required hereunder (including costs associated with (i) termination
of the Servicer, (ii) the appointment of a successor servicer or (iii) the
transfer to and assumption of, the servicing by the Master Servicer) and shall,
to the extent permitted by the IndyMac Servicing Agreement, seek reimbursement
therefor initially from the terminated Servicer. In the event the full costs
associated with the transition of servicing responsibilities to the Master
Servicer or to a successor servicer are not paid for by the predecessor or
successor Servicer (provided such successor Servicer is not the Master
Servicer), the Master Servicer may be reimbursed therefor by the Trust for costs
incurred by the Master Servicer associated with any such transfer of servicing
duties from the Servicer to the Master Servicer or any other successor servicer.
(c) If the Master Servicer assumes the servicing with respect to any
of the Mortgage Loans, it will not assume liability for the representations and
warranties of the Servicer it replaces or for any errors or omissions of the
Servicer.
(d) Neither the Depositor nor the Securities Administrator shall
consent to the assignment by the Servicer of the Servicer's rights and
obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Master
Servicer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Section 9.02 Maintenance of Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions
Insurance. The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a
blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, affording
coverage with respect to all directors, officers, directors, employees and other
Persons acting on such Master Servicer's behalf, and covering errors and
omissions in the performance of the Master Servicer's obligations hereunder. The
errors and omissions insurance policy and the fidelity bond shall be in such
form and amount generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicers or
trustees.
Section 9.03 Representations and Warranties of the Master Servicer.
(a) The Master Servicer hereby represents and warrants to the Servicer, the
Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Custodian and the Trustee, for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, as of the Closing Date that:
(i) it is a national banking association validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the United States of America, and as
Master Servicer has full power and authority to transact any and all
business contemplated by this Agreement and to execute, deliver and comply
with its obligations under the terms of this Agreement, the execution,
delivery and performance of which have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action on the part of the Master Servicer;
(ii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Master
Servicer and its performance and compliance with the terms of this
Agreement will not (A) violate the Master Servicer's charter or bylaws,
(B) violate any law or regulation or any administrative decree or order to
which it is subject or (C) constitute a default (or an event which, with
notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or
result in the breach of, any material contract, agreement or other
instrument to which the Master Servicer is a party or by which it is bound
or to which any of its assets are subject, which violation, default or
breach would materially and adversely affect the Master Servicer's ability
to perform its obligations under this Agreement;
(iii) this Agreement constitutes, assuming due authorization,
execution and delivery hereof by the other respective parties hereto, a
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Master Servicer, enforceable
against it in accordance with the terms hereof, except as such enforcement

by general equity principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);
(iv) the Master Servicer is not in default with respect to any order
or decree of any court or any order or regulation of any federal, state,
municipal or governmental agency to the extent that any such default would
materially and adversely affect its performance hereunder;
(v) the Master Servicer is not a party to or bound by any agreement
or instrument or subject to any charter provision, bylaw or any other
corporate restriction or any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree,
law or regulation that may materially and adversely affect its ability as
Master Servicer to perform its obligations under this Agreement or that
requires the consent of any third person to the execution of this
Agreement or the performance by the Master Servicer of its obligations
under this Agreement;
(vi) no litigation is pending or, to the best of the Master
Servicer's knowledge, threatened against the Master Servicer which would
prohibit its entering into this Agreement or performing its obligations
under this Agreement;
(vii) [Reserved];
(viii) no consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or

orders (if any) as have been obtained; and

warranties set forth in this Section shall survive the execution and delivery of
this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall indemnify the Servicer, the Depositor,
the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Trust hold them harmless
against any loss, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees
and related costs, judgments, and other reasonable costs and expenses resulting
from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or
resulting from, a material breach of the Master Servicer's representations and
warranties contained in Section 9.03(a) above. It is understood and agreed that
the enforcement of the obligation of the Master Servicer set forth in this
Section 9.03 to indemnify the Servicer, the Depositor, the Securities
Administrator, the Trustee and the Trust constitutes the sole remedy of the
Servicer, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Trust
respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties. Such
indemnification shall survive any termination of the Master Servicer as Master
Servicer hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.
Any cause of action against the Master Servicer relating to or
arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in this
Section shall accrue upon discovery of such breach by either the Servicer,
Depositor, the Master Servicer, Securities Administrator or the Trustee or
notice thereof by any one of such parties to the other parties.
Section 9.04 Master Servicer Events of Default. Each of the
following shall constitute a "Master Servicer Event of Default":
(a) any failure by the Master Servicer to deposit in the
Distribution Account any payment received by it from the Servicer or required to
be made by the Master Servicer under the terms of this Agreement which continues
unremedied for a period of one (1) Business Day after the date upon which
written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have
been given to the Master Servicer by any other party hereto;
(b) failure by the Master Servicer to duly observe or perform, in
any material respect, any other covenants, obligations or agreements of the
Master Servicer as set forth in this Agreement which failure continues
unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which written
notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given
to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or to the Master Servicer and Trustee by
the holders of Certificates evidencing at least 25% of the Voting Rights;
provided that the cure periods, for the failure to comply with the requirements
set forth in Section 8.15 with respect to delivery of additional disclosure or
with respect to filings of any Forms 8-K, 10-D and 10-K required by the Exchange
Act, shall not exceed the lesser of ten (10) calendar days or such period in
which any applicable Form 8-K, 10-D and 10-K required by the Exchange Act can be
timely filed (without taking into account any extensions);
(c) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority
having jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or
liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshaling of
assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or
liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Master Servicer
and such decree or order shall have remained in force, undischarged or unstayed
for a period of sixty (60) days;
(d) the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy,
readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar
proceedings of or relating to the Master Servicer or relating to all or
substantially all of its property;
(e) the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay
its debts as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any
applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the
benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations for
three (3) Business Days; or
(f) except as otherwise set forth herein, the Master Servicer
attempts to assign this Agreement or its responsibilities hereunder or to
delegate its duties hereunder (or any portion thereof) without the consent of
the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Depositor.
In each and every such case, so long as a Master Servicer Event of
Default shall not have been remedied, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee
may have at law or equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific
performance, the Trustee, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer, may, and
upon the request of the Holders of Certificates representing at least 51% of the
Voting Rights shall, terminate with cause all the rights and obligations of the
Master Servicer under this Agreement.
Upon receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all
authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, shall pass to
and be vested in any successor master servicer appointed hereunder which accepts
such appointments. Upon written request from the Trustee or the Depositor, the
Master Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver to the successor entity
designated by the Trustee any and all documents and other instruments related to
the performance of its duties hereunder as the Master Servicer and, place in
such successor's possession all such documents with respect to the master
servicing of the Mortgage Loans and do or cause to be done all other acts or
things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of
termination, at the Master Servicer's sole expense. The Master Servicer shall
cooperate with the Trustee and such successor master servicer in effecting the
termination of the Master Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder,
including without limitation, the transfer to such successor master servicer for
administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited to
the Distribution Account or are thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage
Loans.
All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the
Trustee in connection with the transfer of servicing from a terminated Master
Servicer, including, without limitation, any such costs or expenses associated
with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the completion, correction
or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the Trustee to
correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to
enable the Trustee (or any successor Master Servicer appointed pursuant to
Section 9.06) to master service shall be paid by the terminated Master Servicer;
provided, however, that to the extent not previously reimbursed by the
terminated Master Servicer, such fees and expenses shall be payable to the
Trustee pursuant to Section 8.06.
Upon the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default, the
Trustee shall provide the Depositor in writing and in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all information reasonably requested
by the Depositor in order to comply with its reporting obligation under Item
6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to a successor master servicer in the event the
Trustee should succeed to the duties of the Master Servicer as set forth herein.
Section 9.05 Waiver of Default. By a written notice, the Trustee may
with the consent of a Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 51% of the
Voting Rights waive any default by the Master Servicer in the performance of its
obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any waiver of a past default,
such default shall cease to exist, and any Master Servicer Event of Default
arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of
this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default
or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
Section 9.06 Successor to the Master Servicer. Upon termination of
the Master Servicer's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement, the
Trustee shall appoint or may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
the appointment of a successor, which shall succeed to all rights and assume all
of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Master Servicer under
this Agreement prior to the termination of the Master Servicer. Any successor
shall be a Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac approved servicer in good standing and
acceptable to the Depositor and the Rating Agencies. In connection with such
appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the
compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such
successor shall agree; provided, however, that in no event shall the master
servicing compensation paid to such successor master servicer exceed that paid
to the Master Servicer hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in
no event shall the Trustee be liable for any master servicing fee or for any
differential in the amount of the master servicing fee paid hereunder and the
amount necessary to induce any successor servicer to act as successor master
servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for
herein. In the event that the Master Servicer's duties, responsibilities and
liabilities under this Agreement are terminated, the Master Servicer shall
continue to discharge its duties and responsibilities hereunder until the
effective date of such termination with the same degree of diligence and
prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement and shall take
no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights of its successor.
The termination of the Master Servicer shall not become effective until a
successor shall be appointed pursuant hereto and shall in no event (i) relieve
the Master Servicer of responsibility for the representations and warranties
made pursuant to Section 9.03(a) hereof and the remedies available to the
Trustee under Section 9.03(c) hereof, it being understood and agreed that the
provisions of Section 9.03 hereof shall be applicable to the Master Servicer
notwithstanding any such sale, assignment, resignation or termination of the
Master Servicer or the termination of this Agreement; or (ii) affect the right
of the Master Servicer to receive payment and/or reimbursement of any amounts
accruing to it hereunder prior to the date of termination (or during any
transition period in which the Master Servicer continues to perform its duties
hereunder prior to the date the successor master servicer fully assumes its
duties).
If no successor Master Servicer has accepted its appointment within
90 days of the time the Trustee receives the resignation of the Master Servicer
and the Trustee has not petitioned a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint
a successor Master Servicer, the Trustee shall be the successor Master Servicer
in all respects under this Agreement and shall have all the rights and powers
and be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating
thereto, including the obligation to make Advances; provided, however, that any
failure to perform any duties or responsibilities caused by the Master
Servicer's failure to provide information required by this Agreement shall not
be considered a default by the Trustee hereunder. In the Trustee's capacity as
such successor, the Trustee shall have the same limitations on liability herein
granted to the Master Servicer. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive the compensation, reimbursement and indemnities otherwise
payable to the Master Servicer, including the fees and other amounts payable
pursuant to Section 9.07 hereof.
Any successor master servicer appointed as provided herein, shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Master Servicer and to the Trustee an
instrument accepting such appointment, wherein the successor shall make the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 9.03 hereof, and whereupon
such successor shall become fully vested with all of the rights, powers, duties,
responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Master Servicer, with like
effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement. Any termination or
resignation of the Master Servicer or termination of this Agreement shall not
affect any claims that the Trustee may have against the Master Servicer arising
out of the Master Servicer's actions or failure to act prior to any such
termination or resignation or in connection with the Trustee's assumption as
successor master servicer of such obligations, duties and responsibilities.
Upon a successor's acceptance of appointment as such, the Master
Servicer shall notify by mail the Trustee of such appointment.
Section 9.07 Compensation of the Master Servicer. As compensation
for its activities under this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be entitled
to a portion of the income earned on investments of funds in the Distribution
Account as agreed with the Securities Administrator.
Section 9.08 Merger or Consolidation. Any Person into which the
Master Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any
merger, conversion, other change in form or consolidation to which the Master
Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the
Master Servicer, shall be the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder,
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding;
provided, however, that the successor or resulting Person to the Master Servicer
shall (i) be a Person (or have an Affiliate) that is qualified and approved to
service mortgage loans for Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac (provided further that a
successor Master Servicer that satisfies subclause (i) through an Affiliate
agrees to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with all applicable Xxxxxx
Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac guidelines) and (ii) have a net worth of not less than
$25,000,000.
Section 9.09 Resignation of the Master Servicer. Except as otherwise
provided in Sections 9.08 and 9.10 hereof, the Master Servicer shall not resign
from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it unless the Master
Servicer's duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or
are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities
carried on by it and cannot be cured. Any such determination permitting the
resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel
that shall be independent to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such
resignation shall become effective until the Trustee shall have assumed, or a
successor master servicer satisfactory to the Trustee and the Depositor shall
have assumed, the Master Servicer's responsibilities and obligations under this
Agreement. Notice of such resignation shall be given promptly by the Master
Servicer and the Depositor to the Trustee.
If at any time Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Master Servicer, resigns
under this Section 9.09, or is removed as Master Servicer pursuant to Section
9.04, then at such time Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. shall also resign (and shall be
entitled to resign) as Securities Administrator under this Agreement.
Section 9.10 Assignment or Delegation of Duties by the Master
Servicer. Except as expressly provided herein, the Master Servicer shall not
assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any
other Person, or delegate to or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any
other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be
performed by the Master Servicer; provided, however, that the Master Servicer
shall have the right with the prior written consent of the Depositor (which
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and upon delivery to the Trustee
and the Depositor of a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such
action shall not result in a downgrade of the ratings assigned to any of the
Certificates, to delegate or assign to or subcontract with or authorize or
appoint any qualified Person to perform and carry out any duties, covenants or
obligations to be performed and carried out by the Master Servicer hereunder.
Notice of such permitted assignment shall be given promptly by the Master
Servicer to the Depositor and the Trustee. If, pursuant to any provision hereof,
the duties of the Master Servicer are transferred to a successor master
servicer, the entire compensation payable to the Master Servicer pursuant hereto
shall thereafter be payable to such successor master servicer but in no event
shall the fee payable to the successor master servicer exceed that payable to
the predecessor master servicer.
Section 9.11 Limitation on Liability of the Master Servicer. Neither
the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of
the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator, the Servicer or the Certificateholders for any action taken or
for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this
Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision
shall not protect the Master Servicer or any such person against any liability
that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful malfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of reckless disregard
for its obligations and duties under this Agreement. The Master Servicer and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Master Servicer may rely in good
faith on any document prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person
respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Master Servicer shall be under no
obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not
incidental to its duties as Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans
under this Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it in any expenses or
liability; provided, however, that the Master Servicer may in its sole
discretion undertake any such action that it may deem necessary or desirable in
respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and
the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal
expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom, shall
be liabilities of the Trust, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed therefor out of the Distribution Account in accordance with the
provisions of Section 9.07 and Section 9.12.
Section 9.12 Indemnification; Third Party Claims. The Master
Servicer agrees to indemnify the Depositor, the Purchaser, the Securities
Administrator and the Trustee, and hold them harmless against any and all
claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs,
judgments, and any other costs, liability, fees and expenses that the Depositor,
the Purchaser, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee may sustain as a
result of the Master Servicer's willful malfeasance, bad faith or negligence in
the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of its reckless disregard
for its obligations and duties under this Agreement, including any failure by
the Master Servicer or any Subcontractor utilized by such Master Servicer to
deliver any information, report, certification or accountants' letter when and
as required under Section 8.13 or 8.14, including without limitation any failure
by the Master Servicer to identify any Subcontractor "participating in the
servicing function" within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB. The
Depositor, the Purchaser, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee shall
immediately notify the Master Servicer if a claim is made by a third party with
respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans which would entitle the
Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee to indemnification under
this Section 9.12, whereupon the Master Servicer shall assume the defense of any
such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees,
and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be
entered against it or them in respect of such claim. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, the Master Servicer shall not settle any claim
involving the Trustee without the Trustee's prior written consent unless such
settlement involves a complete, unqualified and absolute release of the Trustee
from any and all liability in connection with such claim.
The Trust will indemnify the Master Servicer and hold it harmless
against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees
and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and
expenses that the Master Servicer may incur or sustain in connection with,
arising out of or related to this Agreement or the Certificates, except to the
extent that any such loss, liability or expense is a result of (i) a material
breach of the Master Servicer's representations and warranties in this
Agreement, (ii) any breach of the Servicer's obligations in connection with this
Agreement for which the Servicer has performed its obligation to indemnify the
Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian pursuant to the IndyMac Servicing
Agreement, if applicable, (iii) any breach of the Original Loan Seller's
obligations in connection with the IndyMac Assignment Agreement, for which the
Original Loan Seller has performed its obligation to indemnify the Master
Servicer pursuant to the IndyMac Assignment Agreement, or (iv) the Master
Servicer's willful malfeasance, bad faith or negligence or its reckless
disregard of its duties and obligations under this Agreement; provided that any
such loss, liability or expense constitutes an "unanticipated expense incurred
by the REMIC" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section
1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for
any such indemnified amount from funds on deposit in the Distribution Account.
The foregoing indemnity shall survive the resignation or removal of the Master
Servicer or the termination of this Agreement.

examine them to determine whether they are in the form required by this
Agreement; provided, however, that the Securities Administrator shall not be
responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolution, certificate,
statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument. If any such
instrument is found not to conform in any material respect to the requirements
of this Agreement, the Securities Administrator shall notify the
Certificateholders of such non-conforming instrument in the event the Securities
Administrator, after so requesting, does not receive a satisfactorily corrected
instrument.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the

negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:

the requirements of this Agreement which it believed in good faith to be
genuine and to have been duly executed by the proper authorities
respecting any matters arising hereunder;
(ii) the Securities Administrator shall not be liable for an error

in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii) the Securities Administrator shall not be liable with respect
to any action or inaction taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in

opinion of the Securities Administrator, not reasonably assured to the
Securities Administrator by the security afforded to it by the terms of

or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the
parties hereto and the interests of the Trustee and the Certificateholders
hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and
any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities

Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Securities Administrator
hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, and except for any such expense,
disbursement or advance as may arise from the Securities Administrator's
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, or which would not be an

the trusts created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the
death of the survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late
Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James's, living on the date
hereof.
Section 11.02 Final Distribution on the Certificates. If, on the
Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer notifies the Securities Administrator
that there are no Outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the
Trust Fund other than the funds in the Collection Account, the Securities
Administrator shall promptly send a Notice of Final Distribution to the
applicable Certificateholders. If the electing Person elects to terminate the
Trust pursuant to clause (a) of Section 11.01, by no later than the 10th day of
the month of the final distribution, the Securities Administrator upon request
by the electing Person will notify the Depositor of the final Distribution Date
and of the Termination Price of the Mortgage Loans and the related REO
Properties.
A Notice of Final Distribution, specifying the Distribution Date on
which Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates for payment of the
final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Securities
Administrator by letter to Certificateholders mailed not later than the 15th day
of the month of such final distribution. Any such Notice of Final Distribution

REO Properties) pursuant to Section 11.01, such electing Person is required to
remit to the Securities Administrator the Termination Price on the Servicer
Remittance Date immediately preceding the applicable final Distribution Date.
Upon such final deposit with respect to the Trust Fund and the receipt by the
Custodian of the Request for Release, the Custodian shall promptly release to
such electing Person or its designee the Custodial Files for the Mortgage Loans.
Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Securities
Administrator shall cause to be distributed to the Certificateholders of each
Class (after reimbursement of all amounts due the Master Servicer, the

plus for each such Class accrued interest thereon in the case of an
interest-bearing Certificate and all other amounts to which such Classes are
entitled pursuant to Section 4.01, (ii) as to the Residual Certificates, the
amount, if any, which remains on deposit in the Distribution Account after
application pursuant to clause (i) above (other than the amounts retained to
meet claims, which retained amounts shall also be released to the Residual

be required to be so retained). The foregoing provisions are intended to
distribute to each Class of Regular Certificates any accrued and unpaid interest
and principal to which they are entitled based on the Pass-Through Rates and
actual Class Certificate Balances or notional principal balances set forth in
the Preliminary Statement upon liquidation of the Trust.
In the event that any affected Certificateholders shall not
surrender Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date
specified in the above mentioned written notice, the Securities Administrator
shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to
surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution
with respect thereto. If within six months after the second notice all the
applicable Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the
Securities Administrator may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to
take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning
surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the
funds and other assets which remain a part of the Trust Fund. If within one year
after the second notice all Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Class A-R Certificateholders shall be entitled to all
unclaimed funds and other assets of the Trust Fund which remain subject hereto.
Section 11.03 Additional Termination Requirements. In the event the
electing Person elects to purchase the Mortgage Loans as provided in Section
11.01, the related Trust REMICs shall be terminated in accordance with the
following additional requirements, unless the Securities Administrator has been
supplied with an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the electing Person, to
the effect that the failure to comply with the requirements of this Section
11.03 will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited
transactions" on either Trust REMIC as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or
(ii) cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificates are Outstanding:
(a) The Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Fund to

Date after such sale, the Securities Administrator shall distribute to the
related Certificateholders the proceeds of such sale in complete liquidation of

final federal income tax return for each of the terminated Trust REMICs stating

Certificateholders consenting or when calculating the total number of
Certificates entitled to consent) for purposes of determining if the requisite

substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the
authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to
such reasonable regulations as the Securities Administrator may prescribe.

the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary

filing any Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements in connection with
any security interest granted or assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as BCAP LLC Trust 2008-IND1 Mortgage Pass Through Certificates, of
the Series specified on the face hereof (herein collectively called the

The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees
that it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for
payment hereunder and that the Securities Administrator is not liable to the
Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the
Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any
liability under the Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and
reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of
rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Securities Administrator and the other parties to
the Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made
on the 25th day of each month or, if such day is not a Business Day, the
Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing on the
first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose

Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest
evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to
Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such
Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement. The Record Date for each
Distribution Date is the last Business Day of the applicable Interest Accrual
Period for the related Distribution Date; provided, however, that for any
Definitive Certificates, the Record Date shall be the last Business Day of the
month immediately preceding the month of such Distribution Date.
Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or
other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder
shall have so notified the Securities Administrator in writing at least five
Business Days prior to the related Record Date and such Certificateholder shall
satisfy the conditions to receive such form of payment set forth in the

such Certificateholder 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 office designated by the
Securities Administrator for such purposes, or such other location specified in
the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Securities Administrator and the rights of the Certificateholders under the
Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the
other parties to the Agreement with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
affected by such amendment evidencing the requisite Percentage Interest, as
provided in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate
shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of
this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the
Certificate Register of the Securities Administrator upon surrender of this
Certificate for registration of transfer at the office designated by the
Securities Administrator for such purposes, accompanied by a written instrument

by the holder hereof or such holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized
denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust
Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates
without coupons in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are
exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection
therewith.
The Securities Administrator and the Depositor and any agent of the
Securities Administrator or the Depositor may treat the Person in whose name
this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of

Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than or equal to 10% of the Cut-off Date
Pool Principal Balance, the Person specified in Section 11.01 of the Agreement
will have the option to repurchase, in whole, from the Trust Fund all remaining

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as BCAP LLC Trust 2008-IND1 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, of
the Series specified on the face hereof (herein collectively called the
"Certificates"), and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust
Fund created by the Agreement.
The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees
that it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for
payment hereunder and that the Securities Administrator is not liable to the
Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the
Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any
liability under the Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and
reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of
rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trustee and the other parties to the Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made
on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the
Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing on the
first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose
name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable
Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest
evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to
Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such
Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement. The Record Date for each
Distribution Date is the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding
the month of such Distribution Date.
Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or
other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder
shall have so notified the Securities Administrator in writing at least five
Business Days prior to the related Record Date and such Certificateholder shall
satisfy the conditions to receive such form of payment set forth in the
Agreement, or, if not, by check mailed by first class mail to the address of
such Certificateholder 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 office designated by the
Securities Administrator for such purposes or such other location specified in
the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Securities Administrator and the rights of the Certificateholders under the
Agreement at any time by the Securities Administrator and the other parties to
the Agreement with the consent of the Holders of Certificates affected by such
amendment evidencing the requisite Percentage Interest, as provided in the
Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be
conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the
Certificate Register of the Securities Administrator upon surrender of this
Certificate for registration of transfer at the office designated by the
Securities Administrator for such purposes, accompanied by a written instrument
of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed
by the holder hereof or such holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized
denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust
Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates
without coupons in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are
exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection
therewith.
The Securities Administrator, the Depositor and any agent of the
Securities Administrator or the Depositor may treat the Person in whose name
this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of
the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, nor any such agent shall be
affected by any notice to the contrary.
On any Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than or equal to 10% of the Cut-off Date
Principal Balance, the Person specified in Section 11.01 of the Agreement will
have the option to repurchase, in whole, from the Trust Fund all remaining
Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loans at a
purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement. The obligations and
responsibilities created by the Agreement will terminate as provided in Section
11.01 of the Agreement.
Any term used herein that is defined in the Agreement shall have the
meaning assigned in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed
inconsistent with that meaning.

FORM OF RESIDUAL TRANSFER AFFIDAVIT
BCAP LLC Trust 2008-IND1,
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2008-IND1
STATE OF )
) ss.:
COUNTY OF )
The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as
follows:
1. The undersigned is an officer of ___________________, the
proposed Transferee of an Ownership Interest in a Class A-R Certificate (the
"Certificate") issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the
"Agreement"), between BCAP LLC, as depositor (the "Depositor"), Xxxxx Fargo
Bank, N.A., as master servicer (the "Master Servicer") and securities
administrator (the "Securities Administrator"), Deutsche Bank National Trust
Company, as custodian (the "Custodian") and HSBC Bank USA, National Association,
as trustee (the "Trustee"). Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein,
shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement. The Transferee
has authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit on behalf of the
Transferee for the benefit of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and
the Trustee.
2. The Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the
date of the Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its
Ownership Interest in the Certificate for its own account. The Transferee has no
knowledge that any such affidavit is false.
3. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a
tax will be imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not
Permitted Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if
such Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or
middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and
(iii) the Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for
the tax if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that
such subsequent Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of
Transfer, such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is
false.
4. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax
will be imposed on a "pass-through entity" holding the Certificate if at any
time during the taxable year of the pass through entity a Person that is not a
Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity. The
Transferee understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with
respect to which the record holder furnishes to the pass through entity an
affidavit that such record holder is a Permitted Transferee and the pass through
entity does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this
purpose, a "pass through entity" includes a regulated investment company, a real
estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate,
and certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations,
persons holding interests in pass through entities as a nominee for another
Person.)
5. The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of
the Agreement and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an
Ownership Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the
restrictions on subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the
Transfer and mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and
to abide by the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement and the
restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands
and agrees that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall
render the Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.
6. The Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any
Person to whom the Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the
Certificate, and in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the
Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not
Transfer its Ownership Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be
Transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is not a Permitted
Transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the
Transferee agrees to deliver to the Securities Administrator a certificate
substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit H to the Agreement (a "Transferor
Certificate") to the effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that
the Person to which the Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.
7. The Transferee has historically paid its debts as they have come
due, intends to pay its debts as they come due in the future, and understands
that the taxes payable with respect to the Certificate may exceed the cash flow
with respect thereto in some or all periods and intends to pay such taxes as
they become due. The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the
assessment or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to
the Certificate.
8. The Transferee's taxpayer identification number is __________.
9. The Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code Section
7701(a)(30).
10. The Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a
"noneconomic residual interest" within the meaning of proposed Treasury
regulations promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a
noneconomic residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect
to the income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the
transfer was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
11. The Transferee will not cause income from the Certificate to be
attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the
meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Transferee or any other U.S.
person.
12. Check one of the following:
[_] The present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated
with holding the Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum of:
(i) the present value of any consideration given to the Transferee
to acquire such Certificate;
(ii) the present value of the expected future distributions on such
Certificate; and
(iii) the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated
with holding such Certificate as the related REMIC generates losses.
For purposes of this calculation, (i) the Transferee is assumed to
pay tax at the highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code
(but the tax rate in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the
highest rate specified in Section 11(b) of the Code if the Transferee has been
subject to the alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the
preceding two years and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable
year using the alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) present values are
computed using a discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed
by Section 1274(d) of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding
period used by the Transferee:
[_] The transfer of the Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury
Regulations Sections 1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly:
(i) the Transferee is an "eligible corporation," as defined in U.S.
Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to which income from
the Certificate will only be taxed in the United States;
(ii) at the time of the transfer, and at the close of the
Transferee's two fiscal years preceding the year of the transfer, the
Transferee had gross assets for financial reporting purposes (excluding
any obligation of a person related to the Transferee within the meaning of
U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100
million and net assets in excess of $10 million;
(iii) the Transferee will transfer the Certificate only to another
"eligible corporation," as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section
1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that satisfies the requirements of
Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Section 1.860E-1(c)(5) of
the U.S. Treasury Regulations; and
(iv) the Transferee determined the consideration paid to it to
acquire the Certificate based on reasonable market assumptions (including,
but not limited to, borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and loss
assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and other
factors specific to the Transferee) that it has determined in good faith.
[_] None of the above.
13. The Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject
to Title I of ERISA or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a
plan subject to any federal, state or local law that is substantially similar to
Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and the Transferee is not acting
on behalf of or investing plan assets of such a plan.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Transferee has caused this instrument to be
executed on its behalf, pursuant to authority of its Board of Directors, by its
duly authorized officer and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed, duly
attested, this ____ day of _______, 20__.

"Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Seller may not
make any future advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan (except as provided in
Section 3.03 and except for Servicing Advances) and the Seller shall not (i)
permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the
Mortgage Interest 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 (except for a reduction of interest payments
resulting from the application of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act or any
similar state statutes), (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 (as defined in the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement) 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 (as defined in the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement),
(iii) except as provided in Section 10.11, waive any prepayment premiums, or
(iv) accept payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than the unpaid
principal balance of such Mortgage Loan in final satisfaction thereof; provided,
however, that the Seller may take any action set forth in clauses (i) through
(iv) with respect to any Mortgage Loan in default or, which in the judgment of
the Seller, a default is reasonably foreseeable, and only to the extent the
Seller determines that such action is not materially adverse to the interests of
the Purchaser (taking into account any estimated Realized Loss (as defined in
the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement) that might result absent such
action).
If a prepayment premium or a late payment fee is waived other than as permitted
by the prior paragraph, then the Seller is required to pay the amount of such
waived prepayment premium or late payment fee, for the benefit of the Purchaser,
by depositing the amount of such waived prepayment premium or late payment fee
into the Custodial Account from its own funds, without any right of
reimbursement therefor. Such prepayment premiums shall be deposited into the
Custodial Account together with the amount prepaid on the related Mortgage Loan
at the time such prepaid amount is required to be deposited into the Custodial
Account. Such late payment fees shall be deposited into the Custodial Account
together with the late scheduled payment on the related Mortgage Loan at the
time such late scheduled payment amount is received."

"Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Seller may
waive, or permit a Subservicer to waive, in whole or in part, a prepayment
premium only under the following circumstances: (i) such waiver relates to a
default or a reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable
judgment of the Seller, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account
the value of such prepayment premium and the related Mortgage Loan; provided,
however, that the Seller or Subservicer may waive such prepayment premium if the
Mortgage Loan is accelerated or paid-off in connection with the workout of a
delinquent Mortgage Loan or due to the related Mortgagor's default,
notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan or federal or state law
might permit the imposition of such prepayment premium, (ii) such prepayment
premium is not permitted to be collected by applicable federal, state or local
law or regulation or (iii) the collection of such prepayment premium would be
considered "predatory" pursuant to written guidance published or issued by any
applicable federal, state or local regulatory authority acting in its official
capacity and having jurisdiction over such matters."

Remedies for Breach of Representations and Warranties

agrees that the remedies available to the Assignor, the Assignee and the Trust
in connection with any breach of the representations and warranties made by it
set forth in Subsection 9.01 and 9.02 of the Sale Agreement shall be as set
forth in Subsection 9.03 of the Sale Agreement as if they were set forth herein
(including without limitation the repurchase and indemnity obligations set forth
therein).
Recordation of Assignments of Mortgages
7. To the extent not previously delivered to the Purchaser pursuant
to the IndyMac Sale Agreement, on or prior to the Securitization Closing Date,
the Original Loan Seller (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement)
shall deliver to the Deutsche Bank National Trust Company (the "Custodian"),
Assignments of Mortgages (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), in
blank, for each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Loan (as defined in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement). No later than thirty (30) Business Days (as defined in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) following the later of the Securitization
Closing Date and the date of receipt by the Servicer of the complete recording
information for a Mortgage (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement),
the Servicer shall promptly submit or cause to be submitted for recording, at
the expense of the Original Loan Seller and at no expense to the Trust Fund (as
defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Servicer, the
Custodian, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator (as defined in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement) or the Depositor, in the appropriate public
office for real property records, each Assignment of Mortgage referred to in
Section 2.01(b)(ii) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, however, for administrative convenience and facilitation of servicing
and to reduce closing costs, the Assignments of Mortgage shall not be required
to be completed and submitted for recording with respect to any Mortgage Loan
(i) if the Trustee and each Rating Agency have received an Opinion of Counsel
(as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), satisfactory to the Trustee
and each Rating Agency to the effect that the recordation of such Assignments of
Mortgage in any specific jurisdiction is not necessary to protect the Trustee's
interest in the related Mortgage Note, (ii) if such Mortgage Loan is a MERS Loan
or (iii) if the Rating Agencies have each notified the Depositor and the
Servicer in writing that not recording any such Assignments of Mortgage would
not cause the initial ratings on any Certificates (as defined in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement) to be downgraded or withdrawn; provided, however, that the
Servicer shall not be held responsible or liable for any loss that occurs
because an Assignment of Mortgage was not recorded, but only to the extent the
Servicer does not have prior knowledge of the act or omission that causes such
loss. Unless the Depositor gives the Servicer notice to the contrary, the
Depositor is deemed to have given the Servicer notice that the condition set
forth in clause (iii) above is applicable. In addition to the foregoing, the
Servicer shall cause each Assignment of Mortgage to be recorded in accordance
with Accepted Servicing Practices (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement) in order to convey, upon foreclosure, the title of any Mortgaged
Property (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) to the Trust. If
the Assignment of Mortgage is to be recorded, the applicable Mortgage shall be
assigned by the Original Loan Seller, at the expense of the Original Loan Seller
to "HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as trustee under the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement dated as of January 1, 2008, BCAP LLC Trust 2008 IND1." In
the event that any such Assignment of Mortgage is lost or returned unrecorded
because of a defect therein, the Original Loan Seller shall promptly cause to be
delivered a substitute Assignment of Mortgage to cure such defect and thereafter
cause each such assignment to be duly recorded at no expense to the Trust Fund.
Termination upon Liquidation or Purchase of the Mortgage Loans
8. The Servicer shall have the right to purchase the Mortgage Loans
under the provisions of Section 11.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
which are summarized as of the Closing Date as follows:
The Servicer may, at its option, on any Distribution Date (as defined in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement) on which the aggregate of the Stated Principal
Balances (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) of the Mortgage
Loans (after giving effect to scheduled payments of principal due during the
related Due Period (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), to the
extent received or advanced, and unscheduled collections of principal received
during the related Prepayment Period) on such date is equal to or less than 10%
of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans on the Cut-off
Date, purchase, on such Distribution Date, all of the outstanding Mortgage Loans
and REO Properties at the price equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the unpaid
principal balance of each Mortgage Loan (other than in respect of REO Property)
plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate, (ii)
the lesser of (x) the appraised value of any REO Property as determined by the
higher of two appraisals completed by two independent appraisers selected by the
Servicer at the expense of the Servicer, and (y) the unpaid principal balance of
each Mortgage Loan related to any REO Property, in each case plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate, (iii) all unreimbursed
principal and interest advances, Servicing Advances and indemnification payments
payable to the Servicer, and (iv) any unreimbursed indemnification payments
payable to the Custodian, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and
the Trustee under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any
such purchase pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Servicer shall remit to
the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account (as defined
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) all amounts then on deposit in the
Custodial Account, which deposit shall be deemed to have occurred immediately
preceding such purchase.
Purchase of the Certificates by IndyMac
9. The Servicer hereby agrees that it will cause any affiliate that
is purchasing the Certificates on the Closing Date to deliver on such Closing
Date an officer's certificate, certifying that such affiliate is purchasing the
Certificates for investment purposes and not with a view to distribution.
10. If the Servicer or its affiliate proposes to sell the
Certificates to an unaffiliated party within one year after the Closing Date,
the Servicer or its affiliate shall cause written notice to be provided to the
Assignee within 20 (twenty) Business Days prior to such proposed sale. Within 5
(five) Business Days of receipt of such notice, the Assignee may require the
Servicer or its affiliate to update the Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement in
connection with any such sale of the Certificates in a manner satisfactory to
the Assignee. The Assignee agrees to cooperate with the Servicer in connection
with each update by providing any information regarding the Assignee that the
Assignee reasonably determines necessary to update the Prospectus Supplement and
Prospectus. All costs and expenses associated with such updates to the
Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement shall be the responsibility of the Servicer
and its affiliates and none of the Assignor, Assignee or any of their affiliates
shall be responsible for any costs and expenses associated therewith. In
connection with each such update to the Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement,
the Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify the Assignee, Assignor and their
affiliates pursuant to an indemnification and contribution agreement in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law principles, and the

Section 9.02 Representations and Warranties Regarding
Individual Mortgage Loans.
The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser that, as
to each Mortgage Loan, as of the related Closing Date for such Mortgage Loan:
(1) The information set forth on Schedule I to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, dated as of January 1, 2008 (the "Pooling and
Servicing Agreement"), among BCAP LLC, HSBC Bank USA, National
Association, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company and Xxxxx Fargo Bank,
N.A., with respect to each Mortgage Loan is true and correct in all
material respects as of the Closing Date.
(2) All regularly scheduled monthly payments due with respect
to each Mortgage Loan up to and including the Due Date before the Cut-off
Date have been made; and as of the Cut-off Date, no Mortgage Loan had a
regularly scheduled monthly payment that was 60 or more days delinquent
during the twelve months before the Cut-off Date.
(3) With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not a Co-op
Loan, each Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first lien on the Mortgaged
Property subject only to (a) the lien of nondelinquent current real
property taxes and assessments and liens or interests arising under or as
a result of any federal, state or local law, regulation or ordinance
relating to hazardous wastes or hazardous substances and, if the related
Mortgaged Property is a unit in a condominium project or planned unit
development, any lien for common charges permitted by statute or homeowner
association fees, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of
way, easements and other matters of public record as of the date of
recording of such Mortgage, such exceptions appearing of record being
generally acceptable to mortgage lending institutions in the area wherein
the related Mortgaged Property is located or specifically reflected in the
appraisal made in connection with the origination of the related Mortgage
Loan, and (c) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject
which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security
intended to be provided by such Mortgage.
(4) Immediately before the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to
the Depositor, the Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of,
each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or
security interest and had full right and authority, subject to no interest
or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and
assign the same pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(5) As of the Closing Date, there was no delinquent tax or
assessment lien against the related Mortgaged Property.
(6) There is no valid offset, defense or counterclaim to any
Mortgage Note or Mortgage, including the obligation of the Mortgagor to
pay the unpaid principal of or interest on such Mortgage Note.
(7) There are no mechanics' liens or claims for work, labor or
material affecting any Mortgaged Property which are or may be a lien prior
to or equal with, the lien of such Mortgage, except those which are
insured against by the title insurance policy referred to in item (11)
below.
(8) No Mortgaged Property has been materially damaged by
water, fire, earthquake, windstorm, flood, tornado or similar casualty
(excluding casualty from the presence of hazardous wastes or hazardous
substances, as to which the Seller makes no representation) so as to
affect adversely the value of the related Mortgaged Property as security
for the Mortgage Loan.
(9) Each Mortgage Loan at origination complied in all material
respects with applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations,
including usury, equal credit opportunity, real estate settlement
procedures, truth-in-lending, and disclosure laws, or any noncompliance
does not have a material adverse effect on the value of the related
Mortgage Loan.
(10) The Seller has not modified the Mortgage in any material
respect (except that a Mortgage Loan may have been modified by a written
instrument which has been recorded or submitted for recordation, if
necessary, to protect the interests of the Purchaser and which has been
delivered to the Trustee (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement)); satisfied, cancelled or subordinated such Mortgage in whole
or in part; released the related Mortgaged Property in whole or in part
from the lien of such Mortgage; or executed any instrument of release,
cancellation, modification or satisfaction with respect thereto.
(11) A lender's policy of title insurance together with a
condominium endorsement and extended coverage endorsement, if applicable,
in an amount at least equal to the Stated Principal Balance as of the
Cut-off Date of each such Mortgage Loan or a commitment (binder) to issue
the same was effective on the date of the origination of each Mortgage
Loan and each such policy is valid and remains in full force and effect.
(12) Each Mortgage Loan was originated (within the meaning of
Section 3(a)(41) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) by an
entity that satisfied at the time of origination the requirements of
Section 3(a)(41) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
(13) All of the improvements which were included for the
purpose of determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lie
wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of such
property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the
Mortgaged Property, unless such failure to be wholly within such
boundaries and restriction lines or such encroachment, as the case may be,
does not have a material effect on the value of the Mortgaged Property.
(14) As of the date of origination of each Mortgage Loan, no
improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged Property is in
violation of any applicable zoning law or regulation unless such violation
would not have a material adverse effect on the value of the related
Mortgaged Property. All inspections, licenses and certificates required to
be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged
Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including
certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been
made or obtained from the appropriate authorities, unless the lack thereof
would not have a material adverse effect on the value of the Mortgaged
Property.
(15) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine,
and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof,
enforceable in accordance with its terms and under applicable law.
(16) The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully
disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder.
(17) The related Mortgage contains customary and enforceable
provisions which render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof
adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the
benefits of the security, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage
designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (ii) otherwise by
judicial foreclosure.
(18) With respect to each Mortgage constituting a deed of
trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such,
has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in such
Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the
Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection
with a trustee's sale after default by the Mortgagor.
(19) At the Closing Date, the improvements upon each Mortgaged
Property are covered by a valid and existing hazard insurance policy with
a generally acceptable carrier that provides for fire and extended
coverage and coverage for such other hazards as are customarily required
by institutional single family mortgage lenders in the area where the
Mortgaged Property is located, and the Seller has received no notice that
any premiums due and payable thereon have not been paid; the Mortgage
obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance
including flood insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense. Anything to
the contrary in this item (19) notwithstanding, no breach of this item
(19) shall be deemed to give rise to any obligation of the Seller to
repurchase or substitute for such affected Mortgage Loan or Loans so long
as the Servicer maintains a blanket policy.
(20) If at the time of origination of each Mortgage Loan, the
related Mortgaged Property was in an area then identified in the Federal
Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special
flood hazards, a flood insurance policy in a form meeting the then-current
requirements of the Flood Insurance Administration is in effect with
respect to the Mortgaged Property with a generally acceptable carrier.
(21) There is no proceeding pending or threatened for the
total or partial condemnation of any Mortgaged Property, nor is such a
proceeding currently occurring.
(22) There is no material event which, with the passage of
time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would
constitute a material non-monetary default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note; and the
Seller has not waived any material non-monetary default, breach, violation
or event of acceleration.
(23) Each Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related
Mortgaged Property prepared in accordance with the Uniform Standards of
Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).
(24) Any leasehold estate securing a Mortgage Loan has a
stated term of not less than five years in excess of the term of the
related Mortgage Loan.
(25) Each Mortgage Loan was selected from among the
outstanding adjustable rate one- to four-family mortgage loans in the
Seller's portfolio at the Closing Date as to which the representations and
warranties made with respect to the Mortgage Loans set forth in this
Exhibit can be made. No such selection was made in a manner intended to
adversely affect the interests of the Purchaser.
(26) None of the Mortgage Loans is a Co-op Loan.
(27) None of the Mortgage Loans is a "high cost" loan,
"covered" loan or any other similarly designated loan as defined under any
state, local or federal law, as defined by applicable predatory and
abusive lending laws.
(28) No proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used to finance
single-premium credit insurance policies.
(29) None of the Mortgage Notes related to the Mortgage Loans
impose a Prepayment Penalty on the related Mortgage Loan for a term in
excess of three years from the origination of the Mortgage Loan.
(30) Each Mortgage Loan was in compliance with the
anti-predatory lending eligibility for purchase requirements of Xxxxxx
Mae's Selling Guide.
(31) Each Mortgage Loan has been underwritten and serviced
substantially in accordance with the Seller's guidelines, subject to such
variances as are reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule or that the
Seller has approved.
(32) No Mortgage Loan is a High Cost Loan or Covered Loan, as
applicable (as such terms are defined in the then-current version of
Standard & Poor's LEVELS(R) Glossary, which is now Version 5.7 Revised,
Appendix E) and no Mortgage Loan originated on or after Oct. 1, 2002
through March 6, 2003 is governed by the Georgia Fair Lending Act.
(33) The Pooling and Servicing Agreement creates a valid and
continuing "security interest" (as defined in Section 1-201(37) of the
UCC) in each Mortgage Note in favor of the Trustee, which security
interest is prior to all other liens and is enforceable as such against
creditors of and purchasers from the Depositor. Each Mortgage Note
constitutes "promissory notes" (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(65) of the
UCC). Immediately before the assignment of each Mortgage Note to the
Trustee, the Depositor had good and marketable title to such Mortgage Note
free and clear of any lien, claim, encumbrance of any Person. All original
executed copies of each Mortgage Note have been or shall be delivered to
the Trustee within five Business Days following the Closing Date. Other
than the security interest granted to the Trustee, the Depositor has not
pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise
conveyed any Mortgage Note. The Depositor has not authorized the filing of
and is not aware of any financing statements against the Depositor that
include a description of any of the Mortgage Notes. The Depositor is not
aware of any judgment or tax liens filed against the Depositor. None of
the Mortgage Notes has any marks or notations indicating that they have
been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the
Trustee.
(34) To the best of the Seller's knowledge, there was no fraud
involved in the origination of any Mortgage Loan by the mortgagee or by
the Mortgagor, any appraiser or any other party involved in the
origination of the Mortgage Loan.
(35) Each Mortgage Loan constitutes a "qualified mortgage"
within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code.
(36) Each Mortgage Loan at the time it was made complied in
all material respects with applicable local, state, and federal laws,
including, but not limited to, all applicable predatory and abusive
lending laws.
(37) No Mortgage Loan is subject to the requirements of the
Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994.
(38) No Mortgage Loan is a "High-Cost Home Loan" as defined in
any of the following statutes: the Georgia Fair Lending Act, as amended
(the "Georgia Act"), the New York Banking Law 6-1, the Arkansas Home Loan
Protection Act effective July 16, 2003 (Act 1340 of 2003), the Kentucky
high-cost home loan statute effective June 24, 2003 (Ky. Rev. Stat.
Section 360.100), the New Jersey Home Ownership Act effective November 27,
2003 (N.J.S.A. 46:10B-22 et seq.), or the New Mexico Home Loan Protection
Act effective January 1, 2004 (N.M. Stat. Xxx xx.xx. 58-21A-1 et seq.). No
Mortgage Loan subject to the Georgia Act and secured by owner occupied
real property or an owner occupied manufactured home located in the state
of Georgia was originated (or modified) on or after October 1, 2002
through and including March 6, 2003. No Mortgage Loan is a "High-Risk Home
Loan" as defined in the Illinois High-Risk Home Loan Act effective January
1, 2004 (815 Ill. Comp. Stat. 137/1 et seq.). None of the Mortgage Loans
that are secured by property located in the State of Illinois are in
violation of the provisions of the Illinois Interest Act (815 Ill. Comp.
Stat. 205/1 et seq.).
(39) None of the Mortgage Loans is a "high cost" loan,
"covered" loan (excluding home loans defined as "covered home loans" in
the New Jersey Home Ownership Security Act of 2002 that were originated
between November 26, 2003 and July 7, 2004), "high risk home" or
"predatory" loan or any other similarly designated loan as defined under
any state, local or federal law, as defined by applicable predatory and
abusive lending laws.

respective present and former directors, officers, employees, agents and each
Person, if any, that controls the Depositor, the Underwriter or such affiliate,
within the meaning of either the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (collectively, the

fines, forfeitures or liabilities, joint or several, to which each such
Indemnified Party may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or
otherwise, to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are
based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in the Supplement to the Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus
Supplement or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based
upon (i) any breach of the representation and warranty set forth in Article
II(d) above or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,
in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, to the
extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission relates to information set forth in the Indemnifying Party
Information, and the Indemnifying Party shall in each case reimburse each
Indemnified Party for any legal or other costs, fees, or expenses reasonably
incurred and as incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, penalty, fine,
forfeiture, liability or action. The Indemnifying Party's liability under this
Section 3.1 shall be in addition to any other liability that the Indemnifying
Party may otherwise have.
(b) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 3.1 shall
for any reason be unavailable to an Indemnified Party under this Section 3.1
(other than due to indemnification not being applicable under Section 3.1(a)),
then the party which would otherwise be obligated to indemnify with respect
thereto, on the one hand, and the parties which would otherwise be entitled to
be indemnified, on the other hand, shall contribute to the aggregate losses,
liabilities, claims, damages, penalty, fine, forfeiture, costs, fees and
expenses of the nature contemplated herein and incurred by the parties hereto in
such proportions that are appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
Depositor or the Underwriter, on the one hand, and the Indemnifying Party, on
the other hand, in connection with the applicable misstatements or omissions as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning
of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution from any
Person that was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of
this Section 3.1, each director of a party to this Agreement and each Person, if

the 1933 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such party.
3.2 Notification; Procedural Matters. Promptly after receipt by an
Indemnified Party under Section 3.1 of notice of any claim or the commencement
of any action, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to
be made against the Indemnifying Party (or if a claim for contribution is to be
made against another party) under Section 3.1, notify the Indemnifying Party (or
other contributing party) in writing of the claim or the commencement of such
action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Party (or
other contributing party) shall not relieve it from any liability which it may
have under Section 3.1 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by
such failure; and provided, further, however, that the failure to notify the
Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to
any Indemnified Party (or to the party requesting contribution) otherwise than
under Section 3.1. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified
Party and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the
Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent
that, by written notice delivered to the Indemnified Party promptly after
receiving the aforesaid notice from such Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying
Party elects to assume the defense thereof, it may participate with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if
the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party or parties shall reasonably have
concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it or them and/or other
Indemnified Parties that are different from or additional to those available to
the Indemnifying Party, or if the use of counsel chosen by the Indemnifying
Party to represent the Indemnified Parties would present such counsel with a
conflict of interest, the Indemnified Party or parties shall have the right to
select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise
participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party or
parties. Upon receipt of notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified
Party of its election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by
the Indemnified Party of such counsel, the Indemnifying Party shall not be
liable to such Indemnified Party under this paragraph for any legal or other
expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the
defense thereof, unless (i) the Indemnified Party shall have employed separate
counsel (plus any local counsel) in connection with the assertion of legal
defenses in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence,
(ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party within
a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the
Indemnifying Party shall have authorized the employment of counsel for the
Indemnified Party at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. No party shall be
liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In no event shall the
Indemnifying Party be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel
(in addition to any local counsel) separate from its own counsel for all
Indemnified Parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or
related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general
allegations or circumstances.

par as stated in the related Purchase Price and Terms Agreement (subject to
adjustment as provided therein), multiplied by the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance, as of the related Cut-off Date, of the Mortgage Loans listed on the
related Mortgage Loan Schedule. If so provided in the related Purchase Price and
Terms Agreement, portions of the Mortgage Loans shall be priced separately.
In addition to the Purchase Price as described above, the Purchaser
shall pay to the Seller, at closing, accrued interest on the Stated Principal
Balance of the related Mortgage Loans as of the related Cut-off Date at the

available funds to an account designated by the Seller in writing.
The Purchaser shall be entitled to (1) all scheduled principal due
after the related Cut-off Date, (2) all other recoveries of principal collected

of principal due on or before the Cut-off Date and collected by the Seller or
any successor servicer after the related Cut-off Date shall belong to the
Seller), and (3) all payments of interest on the Mortgage Loans net of
applicable Servicing Fees (minus that portion of any such payment which is

collected from the Mortgagor in connection with the origination of the Mortgage
Loan. Payments of scheduled principal and interest prepaid for a Due Date beyond
the related Cut-off Date shall not be applied to the principal balance as of the
related Cut-off Date. Such prepaid amounts shall be the property of the
Purchaser. The Seller shall deposit any such prepaid amounts into the Custodial
Account, which account is established for the benefit of the Purchaser for
subsequent remittance by the Seller to the Purchaser.

related Closing Date. If the Purchaser makes such examination prior to the
related Closing Date and determines, in its sole discretion, that any Mortgage
Loans are unacceptable to the Purchaser for any reason, such Mortgage Loans
shall be deleted from the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, and may be replaced by
a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (or Loans) acceptable to the Purchaser. The

all of the Mortgage Loans without conducting any partial or complete
examination. The fact that the Purchaser or its designee has conducted or has
failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the Mortgage Files
shall not affect the Purchaser's (or any of its successor's) rights to demand
repurchase, substitution or other relief as provided herein.

Custodian in blank and recorded subsequently by the Purchaser or its designee),
and in the event that the Seller does not cure such failure within 30 days of
discovery or receipt of written notification of such failure from the Purchaser,
the related Mortgage Loan shall, upon the request of the Purchaser, be
repurchased by the Seller at the price and in the manner specified in Section
9.03. The foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event that the
Seller cannot deliver an original document submitted for recordation to the
appropriate public recording office within the specified period due to a delay
caused by the recording office in the applicable jurisdiction; provided that the
Seller shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office or, if
such recording receipt is not available, an officer's certificate of a servicing
officer of the Seller, confirming that such documents have been accepted for
recording; provided that, upon request of the Purchaser and delivery by the
Purchaser to the Seller of a schedule of the related Mortgage Loans, the Seller
shall reissue and deliver to the Purchaser or its designee said officer's
certificate.

Purchaser's designee. The Seller shall be responsible for recording the
Assignments of Mortgage, if requested.
Section 6.04 Quality Control Procedures.
The Seller must have an internal quality control program that
verifies, on a regular basis, the existence and accuracy of the legal documents,

shall, on or prior to the related Closing Date, designate the Purchaser as the

constitute a default or result in an acceleration under any of the foregoing, or
result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree
to which the Seller or its property is subject, or result in the creation or
imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance that would have an adverse effect
upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any mortgage, contract, deed

operations, financial condition, properties or assets of the Seller, or in any
material impairment of the right or ability of the Seller to carry on its

Regulations;
(i) [Reserved];
(j) Selection Process. The Mortgage Loans were selected from among
the outstanding one- to four-family mortgage loans in the Seller's portfolio at
the related Closing Date as to which the representations and warranties set
forth in Section 9.02 could be made and such selection was not made in a manner
so as to affect adversely the interests of the Purchaser;
(k) No Untrue Information. Neither this Agreement nor any
information, statement, tape, diskette, report, form, or other document

has been provided to the Purchaser.
Section 9.02 Representations and Warranties Regarding Individual
Mortgage Loans.
The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser that, as
to each Mortgage Loan, as of the related Closing Date for such Mortgage Loan:
(a) Mortgage Loans as Described. The information set forth in the
related Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete, true and correct;
(b) Payments Current. All payments required to be made up to the
related Closing Date for the Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note,
other than payments not yet thirty (30) days delinquent, have been made and
credited. No payment required under the Mortgage Loan is thirty (30) days or
more delinquent nor has any payment under the Mortgage Loan been thirty (30)
days or more delinquent at any time since the origination of the Mortgage Loan,
other than as set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule;
(c) No Outstanding Charges. There are no defaults in complying with
the terms of the Mortgage, and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance
premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents
which previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has
been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which
remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. The
Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any
advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly,
for the payment of any amount required under the Mortgage Loan, except for
interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of
the Mortgage Loan proceeds, whichever is earlier, to the day which precedes by
one month the related Due Date of the first installment of principal and
interest;
(d) Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and
Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect,
from the date of origination except by a written instrument which has been
recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of the Purchaser, and which has
been delivered to the Custodian or to such other Person as the Purchaser shall
designate in writing, and the terms of which are reflected in the related
Mortgage Loan Schedule. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or
modification has been approved by the issuer of any related PMI Policy and the
title insurer, if any, to the extent required by the policy, and its terms are
reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, if applicable. No Mortgagor has
been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption
agreement, approved by the issuer of any related PMI Policy and the title
insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement is
part of the Mortgage Loan File delivered to the Custodian or to such other
Person as the Purchaser shall designate in writing and the terms of which are
reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule;
(e) No Defenses. The Mortgage Loan is not subject to any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the
defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage
Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the
Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part and no such
right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with
respect thereto, and no Mortgagor was a debtor in any state or Federal
bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was
originated;
(f) Hazard Insurance. Pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, all
buildings or other improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a
generally acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage
and such other hazards as are provided for in the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides or by
Xxxxxxx Mac, as well as all additional requirements set forth in Section 2.10 of
the Servicing Agreement. If required by the National Flood Insurance Act of
1968, as amended, each Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy
meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance
Administration as in effect which policy conforms to Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac
requirements, as well as all additional requirements set forth in Section 2.10
of the Servicing Agreement. All individual insurance policies contain a standard
mortgagee clause naming the Seller and its successors and assigns as mortgagee,
and all premiums thereon have been paid. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor
thereunder to maintain the hazard insurance policy at the Mortgagor's cost and
expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the
Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at such Mortgagor's cost and
expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. Where required
by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to
choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not
a "master" or "blanket" hazard insurance policy covering a condominium, or any
hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit
development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of
the insurer, is in full force and effect, and will be in full force and effect
and inure to the benefit of the Purchaser upon the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Seller has not engaged in, and
has no knowledge of the Mortgagor's having engaged in, any act or omission which
would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement
provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either including,
without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful
compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or
realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful
items have been received, retained or realized by the Seller;
(g) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Any and all requirements of any
federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury,
truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection,
equal credit opportunity, disclosure and all predatory, abusive and fair lending
laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, any
provisions relating to the Illinois Interest Act and Prepayment Penalties, have
been complied with, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
will not involve the violation of any such laws or regulations, and the Seller
shall maintain in its possession, available for the Purchaser's inspection, and
shall deliver to the Purchaser upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such
requirements. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse
Representation;
(h) No Satisfaction of Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been
satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the
Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole
or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such
release, cancellation, subordination or rescission. The Seller has not waived
the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor's failure to
perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has the
Seller waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the
Mortgagor;
(i) Type of Mortgaged Property. With respect to a Mortgage Loan that
is not a Co-op Loan, the Mortgaged Property is a fee simple estate or a
leasehold estate located in a jurisdiction in which the use of a leasehold
estate for residential properties is a widely accepted practice that consists of
a single parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected
thereon, or a two- to four-family dwelling, or an individual residential
condominium unit in a condominium project, or an individual unit in a planned
unit development, or an individual unit in a residential cooperative housing
corporation; provided, however, that any condominium unit, planned unit
development or residential cooperative housing corporation shall conform with
the Underwriting Guidelines. No portion of the Mortgaged Property (or underlying
Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan) is used for commercial
purposes, and since the date of origination, no portion of the Mortgaged
Property has been used for commercial purposes (as described under the Xxxxxx
Mae Guides); provided, that Mortgaged Properties which contain a home office
shall not be considered as being used for commercial purposes as long as the
Mortgaged Property has not been altered for commercial purposes and is not
storing any chemicals or raw materials other than those commonly used for
homeowner repair, maintenance and/or household purposes. None of the Mortgaged
Properties are manufactured homes, log homes, mobile homes, geodesic domes or
other unique property types;
(j) Valid First or Second Lien. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting,
enforceable and perfected, first lien (with respect to a First Lien Loan) or
second lien (with respect to a Second Lien Loan) on the Mortgaged Property,
including all buildings and improvements on the Mortgaged Property and all
installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning
systems located in or annexed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations
and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing. The lien of the
Mortgage is subject only to:
(i) with respect to a Second Lien Loan only, the lien of the first
mortgage on the Mortgaged Property;
(ii) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not
yet due and payable;
(iii) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way,
easements and other matters of the public record as of the
date of recording acceptable to prudent mortgage lending
institutions generally and specifically referred to in the
lender's title insurance policy delivered to the originator of
the Mortgage Loan and (a) specifically referred to or
otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator
of the Mortgage Loan or (b) which do not adversely affect the
Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property set forth in such
appraisal; and
(iv) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject
which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the
security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use,
enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged
Property.
Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document
related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and
creates a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien (with respect
to a First Lien Loan) or second lien (with respect to a Second Lien Loan) and
first priority (with respect to a First Lien Loan) or second priority (with
respect to a Second Lien Loan) security interest on the property described
therein and the Seller has full right to sell and assign the same to the
Purchaser.
(k) Valid First or Second Priority Security Interest. With respect
to any Co-op Loan, the related Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and
perfected, first priority security interest (with respect to a First Lien Loan)
or second priority security interest (with respect to a Second Lien Loan) on the
related cooperative shares securing the Mortgage Note, subject only to (a) liens
of the related residential cooperative housing corporation for unpaid
assessments representing the Mortgagor's pro rata share of the related
residential cooperative housing corporation's payments for its blanket mortgage,
current and future real property taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance fees and
other assessments to which like collateral is commonly subject and (b) other
matters to which like collateral is commonly subject which do not materially
interfere with the benefits of the security interest intended to be provided by
the related Security Agreement;
(l) Request for Notice; No Consent Required. With respect to any
Second Lien Loan, where required or customary in the jurisdiction in which the
Mortgaged Property is located, the original lender has filed for record a
request for notice of any action by the related senior lienholder, and the
Seller has notified such senior lienholder in writing of the existence of the
Second Lien Loan and requested notification of any action to be taken against
the Mortgagor by such senior lienholder. Either (a) no consent for the Second
Lien Loan is required by the holder of the related first lien or (b) such
consent has been obtained and is contained in the Mortgage File. This
representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;
(m) Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note and the
Mortgage and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor in
connection with a Mortgage Loan are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and
binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms
(including, without limitation, any provisions therein relating to Prepayment
Penalties). All parties to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such
related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to
execute and deliver the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any such agreement, and
the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement have been
duly and properly executed by other such related parties. To the knowledge of
the Seller, no fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar
occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of the
Seller in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan or in the
application of any insurance in relation to such Mortgage Loan. No fraud, error,
omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a
Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any other Person, including without
limitation, the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other
party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan or in the application for
any insurance in relation to such Mortgage Loan.
(n) Full Disbursement of Proceeds. The Mortgage Loan has been closed
and the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no
requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements as to
completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any
escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses
incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the
Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any
amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;
(o) Ownership. The Seller is the sole owner of record and holder of
the Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by each Mortgage Note and upon
the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, the Seller will retain the
Mortgage Files or any part thereof with respect thereto not delivered to the
Custodian, the Purchaser or the Purchaser's designee, in trust only for the
purpose of servicing and supervising the servicing of each Mortgage Loan. The
Mortgage Loan is not assigned or pledged, and the Seller has good, indefeasible
and marketable title thereto, and has full right to transfer and sell the
Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity,
participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and
has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or
agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign each Mortgage Loan pursuant
to this Agreement and following the sale of each Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser
will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity,
participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest. The
Seller intends to relinquish all rights to possess, control and monitor the
Mortgage Loan.
(p) Doing Business. All parties which have had any interest in the
Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or,
during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (1) in
compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the
state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (2) either (i) organized
under the laws of such state, or (ii) qualified to do business in such state, or
(iii) a federal savings and loan association, a savings bank or a national bank
having a principal office in such state, or (3) not doing business in such
state;
(q) CLTV, LTV and PMI Policy. No Mortgage Loan that is a Second Lien
Loan has a CLTV greater than 100%. No Mortgage Loan has an LTV greater than
100%. Any Mortgage Loan that had at the time of origination an LTV in excess of
80% is insured as to payment defaults by a PMI Policy. Any PMI Policy in effect
covers the related Mortgage Loan for the life of such Mortgage Loan. All
provisions of such PMI Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy
is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. No
action, inaction, or event has occurred and no state of facts exists that has,
or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage. Any
Mortgage Loan subject to a PMI Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to
maintain the PMI Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in connection
therewith or is lender-paid. The Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan as
set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance
premium if the related PMI Policy is lender-paid;
(r) Title Insurance. With respect to a Mortgage Loan which is not a
Co-op Loan, the Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title insurance
policy, or with respect to any Mortgage Loan for which the related Mortgaged
Property is located in California a CLTA lender's title insurance policy, or
other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx
or Xxxxxxx Mac and each such title insurance policy is issued by a title insurer
acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac and qualified to do business in the
jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring the Seller, its
successors and assigns, as to the first (with respect to a First Lien Loan) or
second (with respect to a Second Lien Loan) priority lien of the Mortgage in the
original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan (or to the extent a Mortgage Note
provides for negative amortization, the maximum amount of negative amortization
in accordance with the Mortgage), subject only to the exceptions contained in
clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of paragraph (j) of this Section 9.02, and in the
case of Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, against any loss by reason of the
invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the
Mortgage providing for adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly
Payment. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given
the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance.
Additionally, such lender's title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress
and egress, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any
interest therein. The Seller, its successor and assigns, are the sole insureds
of such lender's title insurance policy, and such lender's title insurance
policy is valid and remains in full force and effect and will be in force and
effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
No claims have been made under such lender's title insurance policy, and no
prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the Seller, has done, by act or
omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender's title
insurance policy, including without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission,
kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be
received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity,
and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by the
Seller;
(s) No Defaults. Other than payments due but not yet 30 days or more
delinquent, there is no default, breach, violation or event which would permit
acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event
which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace
or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event which
would permit acceleration, and neither the Seller nor any of its Affiliates nor
any of their respective predecessors, have waived any default, breach, violation
or event which would permit acceleration;
(t) No Mechanics' Liens. There are no mechanics' or similar liens or
claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are
outstanding that under the law could give rise to such liens) affecting the
related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or
coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage;
(u) Location of Improvements; No Encroachments. All improvements
which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged
Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the
Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon
the Mortgaged Property. No improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged
Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or regulation;
(v) Origination; Payment Terms. The Mortgage Loan was originated by
a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant
to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, a savings and loan
association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company
or other similar institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or
state authority. Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than
seventy days after funds were disbursed in connection with the Mortgage Loan.
The Mortgage Interest Rate as well as, in the case of an Adjustable Rate
Mortgage Loan, the Lifetime Rate Cap and the Periodic Cap are as set forth on
the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. The Mortgage Note is payable in monthly
installments of principal and interest, which installments of interest, with
respect to Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, are subject to change due to the
adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date,
with interest calculated and payable in arrears, sufficient to amortize the
Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity date, over an original term of not
more than thirty years from commencement of amortization (other than with
respect to Option ARM Mortgage Loans and Balloon Mortgage Loans). Unless
otherwise specified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Mortgage Loan is
payable on the first day of each month. Except for Balloon Mortgage Loans, the
Mortgage Loan does not require a balloon payment on its stated maturity date;
(w) Customary Provisions. The Mortgage contains customary and
enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder
thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the
benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (i) in the case of a
Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (ii) otherwise by
judicial foreclosure. Upon default by a Mortgagor on a Mortgage Loan and
foreclosure on, or trustee's sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the
proper procedures, the holder of the Mortgage Loan will be able to deliver good
and merchantable title to the Mortgaged Property. There is no homestead or other
exemption available to a Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell
the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the
Mortgage, subject to applicable federal and state laws and judicial precedent
with respect to bankruptcy and right of redemption or similar law;
(x) Conformance with Agency and Underwriting Guidelines. The
Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines
subject to such exceptions as the Seller shall have approved; provided the
Purchaser is notified of the Seller's exception policies. The Mortgage Note and
Mortgage are on forms acceptable to Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae and the Seller has
not made any representations to a Mortgagor that are inconsistent with the
mortgage instruments used;
(y) Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property. As of the related Closing
Date the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law. All
inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with
respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to
the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of
occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from
the appropriate authorities. Unless otherwise specified on the related Mortgage
Loan Schedule, the Mortgagor represented at the time of origination of the
Mortgage Loan that the Mortgagor would occupy the Mortgaged Property as the
Mortgagor's primary residence;
(z) No Additional Collateral. The Mortgage Note is not and has not
been secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and
the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage
referred to in clause (j) above;
(aa) Deeds of Trust. In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of
trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified under applicable law to serve as
such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the
Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Purchaser to
the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale
after default by the Mortgagor;
(bb) [Reserved];
(cc) Delivery of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note, the
Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage and any other documents required to be
delivered under the Custodial Agreement for each Mortgage Loan have been
delivered to the Custodian. The Seller is in possession of a complete, true and
accurate Mortgage File in compliance with Exhibit A hereto, except for such
documents the originals of which have been delivered to the Custodian;
(dd) Condominiums/Planned Unit Developments. If the Mortgaged
Property is a condominium unit or a planned unit development (other than a de
minimis planned unit development) such condominium or planned unit development
project such Mortgage Loan was originated in accordance with, and the Mortgaged
Property meets the guidelines set forth in the Underwriting Guidelines;
(ee) Transfer of Mortgage Loans. The Assignment of Mortgage (except
with respect to any Mortgage that has been recorded in the name of MERS or its
designee) with respect to each Mortgage Loan is in recordable form and is
acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the
Mortgaged Property is located;
(ff) Due-On-Sale. The Mortgage contains an enforceable provision for
the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage
Loan in the event that the Mortgaged Property is sold or transferred without the
prior written consent of the mortgagee thereunder;
(gg) Assumability. With respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage
Loan, the Mortgage Loan Documents provide that after the related first Interest
Rate Adjustment Date, a related Mortgage Loan may only be assumed if the party
assuming such Mortgage Loan meets certain credit requirements stated in the
Mortgage Loan Documents;
(hh) No Buydown Provisions; No Graduated Payments or Contingent
Interests. The Mortgage Loan does not contain provisions pursuant to which
Monthly Payments are paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate
account established by the Seller, the Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf of the
Mortgagor, or paid by any source other than the Mortgagor nor does it contain
any other similar provisions which may constitute a "buydown" provision. The
Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan
does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature;
(ii) Consolidation of Future Advances. Any future advances made to
the Mortgagor prior to the applicable Cut-off Date have been consolidated with
the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured
principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single
repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal
amount is expressly insured as having first (with respect to a First Lien Loan)
or second (with respect to a Second Lien Loan) lien priority by a title
insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee's
consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx and
Xxxxxxx Mac. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original
principal amount of the Mortgage Loan;
(jj) Mortgaged Property Undamaged; No Condemnation Proceedings.
There is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial
condemnation of the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is undamaged by
waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other
casualty so as to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as
security for the Mortgage Loan or the use for which the premises were intended
and each Mortgaged Property is in good repair. There have not been any
condemnation proceedings with respect to the Mortgaged Property;
(kk) Collection Practices; Escrow Deposits; Interest Rate
Adjustments. The origination, servicing and collection practices used by the
Seller and with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been in all respects in
compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices, applicable laws and regulations,
and have been in all respects legal and proper. With respect to escrow deposits
and Escrow Payments, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the
control of, the Seller and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith
for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All
Escrow Payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal
law and the provisions of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage. An escrow of
funds is not prohibited by applicable law and has been established in an amount
sufficient to pay for every item that remains unpaid and has been assessed but
is not yet due and payable. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other
charges or payments due the Seller have been capitalized under the Mortgage or
the Mortgage Note. All Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments have been made in
strict compliance with state and federal law and the terms of the related
Mortgage and Mortgage Note on the related Interest Rate Adjustment Date. If,
pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Note, another index was selected for
determining the Mortgage Interest Rate, the same index was used with respect to
each Mortgage Note which required a new index to be selected, and such selection
did not conflict with the terms of the related Mortgage Note. The Seller
executed and delivered any and all notices required under applicable law and the
terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Interest
Rate and the Monthly Payment adjustments. Any interest required to be paid
pursuant to state, federal and local law has been properly paid and credited;
(ll) Conversion to Fixed Interest Rate. The Mortgage Loan does not
contain a provision whereby the Mortgagor is permitted to convert the Mortgage
Interest Rate from an adjustable rate to a fixed rate;
(mm) Other Insurance Policies; No Defense to Coverage. No action,
inaction or event has occurred and no state of facts exists or has existed on or
prior to the Closing Date that has resulted or will result in the exclusion
from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any applicable hazard insurance
policy, PMI Policy or bankruptcy bond (including, without limitation, any
exclusions, denials or defenses which would limit or reduce the availability of
the timely payment of the full amount of the loss otherwise due thereunder to
the insured), irrespective of the cause of such failure of coverage. In
connection with the placement of any such insurance, no commission, fee, or
other compensation has been or will be received by the Seller or by any officer,
director, or employee of the Seller or any designee of the Seller or any
corporation in which the Seller or any officer, director, or employee had a
financial interest at the time of placement of such insurance;
(nn) No Violation of Environmental Laws. There is no pending action
or proceeding directly involving the Mortgaged Property in which compliance with
any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue; there is no violation of

the Seller has within the last twelve months (unless such Mortgage was
originated within such twelve month period) analyzed the required Escrow
Payments for each Mortgage and adjusted the amount of such payments so that,
assuming all required payments are timely made, any deficiency will be
eliminated on or before the first anniversary of such analysis, or any overage
will be refunded to the Mortgagor, in accordance with RESPA and any other
applicable law;
(tt) Prior Servicing. Each Mortgage Loan has been serviced in all
material respects in strict compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices;
(uu) No Default Under First Lien. With respect to each Second Lien
Loan, the related First Lien Loan is in full force and effect, and there is no
default, lien, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration
existing under such first lien Mortgage or Mortgage Note, and no event which,
with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure
period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event which would
permit acceleration under such First Lien Loan. This representation and warranty
is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;
(vv) Right to Cure First Lien. With respect to each Second Lien
Loan, the related first lien Mortgage contains a provision which provides for
giving notice of default or breach to the mortgagee under the Mortgage Loan and
allows such mortgagee to cure any default under the related first lien Mortgage.

Representation;

the ground lease permits the mortgaging of the related Mortgaged Property; (5)
the ground lease protects the mortgagee's interests in the event of a property

Prepayment Penalty as provided in the related Mortgage Note is identified on the
related Mortgage Loan Schedule. With respect to each Mortgage Loan that has a
Prepayment Penalty feature, each such Prepayment Penalty is enforceable and each
Prepayment Penalty is permitted pursuant to federal, state and local law. Each
such Prepayment Penalty is in an amount not more than the maximum amount
permitted under applicable law and no such Prepayment Penalty may provide for a
term in excess of five (5) years with respect to Mortgage Loans originated prior

the date of the Mortgage Note unless the Mortgage Loan was modified to reduce
the Prepayment Penalty period to no more than three (3) years from the date of

reduction in Prepayment Penalty period. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that
contains a provision permitting imposition of a Prepayment Penalty upon a
prepayment prior to maturity: (i) the Mortgage Loan provides some benefit to the
Mortgagor (e.g., a rate or fee reduction) in exchange for accepting such
Prepayment Penalty, (ii) prior to the Mortgage Loan's origination, the Mortgagor
was offered the option of obtaining a mortgage loan that did not require payment
of such a penalty, (iii) the Prepayment Penalty was adequately disclosed to the
Mortgagor in the mortgage loan documents pursuant to applicable state, local and
federal law, and (iv) notwithstanding any state, local or federal law to the
contrary, the Seller shall not impose such Prepayment Penalty in any instance
when the mortgage debt is accelerated or paid off in connection with the workout
of a delinquent Mortgage Loan or as a result of the Mortgagor's default in
making the Mortgage Loan payments. This representation and warranty is a Deemed
Material and Adverse Representation;
(aaa) Predatory Lending Regulations. No Mortgage Loan is a High Cost
Loan or Covered Loan, as applicable, and no Mortgage Loan originated on or after
October 1, 2002 through March 6, 2003 is governed by the Georgia Fair Lending
Act. No Mortgage Loan is covered by the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act
of 1994 and no Mortgage Loan is in violation of any comparable state or local
law. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse
Representation;
(bbb) Qualified Mortgage. The Mortgage Loan is a "qualified mortgage
under Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code;
(ccc) Tax Service Contract. Each Mortgage Loan is covered by a paid
in full, life of loan, tax service contract issued by a provider reasonably
acceptable to the Purchaser and such contract is transferable at no cost to the
Purchaser or any Successor Servicer;
(ddd) Origination. No predatory or deceptive lending practices,
including, without limitation, the extension of credit without regard to the
ability of the Mortgagor to repay and the extension of credit which has no
apparent benefit to the Mortgagor, were employed in the origination of the
Mortgage Loan;
(eee) Recordation. Each original Mortgage was recorded and all
subsequent assignments of the original Mortgage (other than the assignment to
the Purchaser) have been recorded in the appropriate jurisdictions wherein such
recordation is necessary to perfect the lien thereof as against creditors of the
Seller, or is in the process of being recorded;
(fff) Co-op Loans. With respect to a Mortgage Loan that is a Co-op
Loan, (i) a search for filings of financing statements has been made by a
company competent to make the same, which company is acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx
and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the cooperative unit is
located, and such search has not found anything which would materially and
adversely affect the Co-op Loan, (ii) the stock that is pledged as security for
the Mortgage Loan is held by a person as a "tenant-stockholder" and the related

(jjj) Xxxxxx Mae Guides Anti-Predatory Lending Eligibility. Each
Mortgage Loan is in compliance with the anti-predatory lending eligibility for
purchase requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx Guides. This representation and warranty is
a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;
(kkk) Mortgagor Selection. The Mortgagor was not encouraged or
required to select a Mortgage Loan product offered by the Seller which is a
higher cost product designed for less creditworthy mortgagors, unless at the
time of the Mortgage Loan's origination, such Mortgagor did not qualify taking
into account such facts as, without limitation, the Mortgage Loan's requirements
and the Mortgagor's credit history, income, assets and liabilities and
debt-to-income ratios for a lower-cost credit product then offered by the Seller
or any Affiliate of the Seller. If, at the time of loan application, the
Mortgagor may have qualified for a lower-cost credit product then offered by any
mortgage lending Affiliate of the Seller, the Seller referred the related
Mortgagor's application to such Affiliate for underwriting consideration. For a
Mortgagor who seeks financing through a Mortgage Loan originator's higher-priced
subprime lending channel, the Mortgagor was directed towards or offered the
Mortgage Loan originator's standard mortgage line if the Mortgagor was able to
qualify for one of the standard products. This representation and warranty is a
Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;
(lll) Underwriting Methodology. The methodology used in underwriting
the extension of credit for each Mortgage Loan does not rely solely on the
extent of the related Mortgagor's equity in the collateral as the principal
determining factor in approving such extension of credit. The methodology
employed objective criteria such as the Mortgagor's income, assets and
liabilities, to the proposed mortgage payment and, based on such methodology,
the Mortgage Loan's originator made a reasonable determination that at the time
of origination the Mortgagor had the ability to make timely payments on the
Mortgage Loan. Such underwriting methodology confirmed that at the time of
origination (application/approval) the related Mortgagor had a reasonable
ability to make timely payments on the Mortgage Loan. This representation and
warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;
(mmm) Purchase of Insurance. No Mortgagor was required to purchase
any single premium credit insurance policy (e.g., life, mortgage, disability,
property, accident, unemployment or health insurance product) or debt
cancellation agreement as a condition of obtaining the extension of credit. No
Mortgagor obtained a prepaid single-premium credit insurance policy (e.g., life,
mortgage, disability, property, accident, unemployment, or health insurance) in
connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan. No proceeds from any
Mortgage Loan were used to purchase single premium credit insurance policies or
debt cancellation agreements as part of the origination of, or as a condition to
closing, such Mortgage Loan. This representation and warranty is a Deemed
Material and Adverse Representation;
(nnn) Points and Fees. No Mortgagor was charged "points and fees"
(whether or not financed) in an amount greater than (i) $1,000, or (ii) 5% of
the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan, whichever is greater. For purposes
of this representation, such 5% limitation is calculated in accordance with
Xxxxxx Mae's anti-predatory lending requirements as set forth in the Xxxxxx Xxx
Guides and "points and fees" (x) include origination, underwriting, broker and
finder fees and charges that the mortgagee imposed as a condition of making the
Mortgage Loan, whether they are paid to the mortgagee or a third party, and (y)
exclude bona fide discount points, fees paid for actual services rendered in
connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan (such as attorneys' fees,
notaries fees and fees paid for property appraisals, credit reports, surveys,
title examinations and extracts, flood and tax certifications, and home
inspections), the cost of mortgage insurance or credit-risk price adjustments,
the costs of title, hazard, and flood insurance policies, state and local
transfer taxes or fees, escrow deposits for the future payment of taxes and
insurance premiums, and other miscellaneous fees and charges, which
miscellaneous fees and charges, in total, do not exceed 0.25% of the principal
amount of such Mortgage Loan. This representation and warranty is a Deemed
Material and Adverse Representation;
(ooo) Disclosure of Fees and Charges. All fees and charges
(including finance charges), whether or not financed, assessed, collected or to
be collected in connection with the origination and servicing of each Mortgage
Loan, have been disclosed in writing to the Mortgagor in accordance with
applicable state and federal law and regulation. This representation and
warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;
(ppp) Balloon Mortgage Loans. No Balloon Mortgage Loan has an
original stated maturity of less than seven (7) years;
(qqq) No Arbitration. No Mortgage Loan originated on or after August
1, 2004 requires the related Mortgagor to submit to arbitration to resolve any
dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Mortgage Loan transaction.
This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse
Representation;
(rrr) No Negative Amortization of Related First Lien Loan. With
respect to each Second Lien Loan, the related First Lien Loan does not permit
negative amortization. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and
Adverse Representation;
(sss) [Reserved].
(ttt) Simple Interest Mortgage Loans. With respect to each Mortgage
Loan that is a simple interest Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Loan is identified on
the related Mortgage Loan Schedule as a simple interest Mortgage Loan, the
Mortgage Loan is required to be serviced as a simple interest Mortgage Loan
pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Note, and the servicing and
collection practices used in connection therewith have been in accordance with
legal, proper, prudent and customary practices for servicing simple interest
Mortgage Loans; and
(uuu) Option ARM Mortgage Loans. With respect to each Option ARM
Mortgage Loan, (a) the Seller (or a servicer on its behalf) either did not
provide different payment options after a "teaser period" or, if different
payment options were provided, applied each payment received under the Option
ARM Mortgage Loan correctly in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, (b)
unless otherwise set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Option ARM
Mortgage Loan has no negative amortization as of the related Closing Date and
(c) such Option ARM Mortgage Loans were serviced in accordance with Accepted
Servicing Practices and all payment histories are set forth on the related
Mortgage Loan Schedule that would be required to service the Option ARM Mortgage
Loans after the related Closing Date in accordance with Accepted Servicing
Practices.
Section 9.03 Remedies for Breach of Representations and Warranties.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties
set forth in Sections 9.01 and 9.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans
to the Purchaser and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser,
notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or
Assignment of Mortgage or the examination or failure to examine any Mortgage
File. Upon discovery by either the Seller or the Purchaser of a breach of any of
the foregoing representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach
shall give prompt written notice to the other.
Within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to
the Seller of any such breach of a representation or warranty, which materially
and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the
Purchaser therein (or which materially and adversely affects the value of the
applicable Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Purchaser therein in the case of
a representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage Loan), the
Seller shall use its best efforts promptly to cure such breach in all material
respects and, if such breach cannot be cured, the Seller shall, at the
Purchaser's option, exercised no later than sixty (60) days following such
discovery by or notice to the Seller of any such breach, repurchase such
Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price. Notwithstanding the above sentence, (i)
within sixty (60) days after the earlier of either discovery by, or written
notice to, the Seller of any breach of the representation and warranty set forth
in clause (bbb) of Section 9.02, the Seller shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan
at the Repurchase Price and (ii) any breach of a Deemed Material and Adverse
Representation shall automatically be deemed to materially and adversely affect
the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser therein. In the
event that a breach shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in
Section 9.01, and such breach cannot be cured within 60 days of the earlier of
either discovery by or notice to the Seller of such breach, all of the Mortgage
Loans affected by such breach shall, at the Purchaser's option, exercised no
later than sixty (60) days following such discovery by or notice to the Seller
of any such breach, be repurchased by the Seller at the Repurchase Price.
However, if the breach shall involve a representation or warranty set forth in
Section 9.02 (other than the representation and warranty set forth in clause
(bbb) of such Section or any Deemed Material Breach Representation) and the
Seller discovers or receives notice of any such breach within 120 days of the
related Closing Date, the Seller may, at the Purchaser's option and provided
that the Seller has a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, rather than repurchase
the Mortgage Loan as provided above, remove such Mortgage Loan (a "Deleted
Mortgage Loan") and substitute in its place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
or Loans, provided that any such substitution shall be effected not later than
120 days after the related Closing Date. If the Seller has no Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan, it shall repurchase the deficient Mortgage Loan at the
Repurchase Price. Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan or Loans pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section 9.03 shall be accomplished by either (a) if
the Servicing Agreement has been entered into and is in effect, deposit in the
Custodial Account of the amount of the Repurchase Price for distribution to the
Purchaser on the next scheduled Remittance Date, after deducting therefrom any
amount received in respect of such repurchased Mortgage Loan or Loans and being
held in the Custodial Account for future distribution or (b) if the Servicing
Agreement has not been entered into or is no longer in effect, by direct
remittance of the Repurchase Price to the Purchaser or its designee in
accordance with the Purchaser's instructions.
At the time of repurchase or substitution, the Purchaser and the
Seller shall arrange for the reassignment of the Deleted Mortgage Loan to the
Seller and the delivery to the Seller of any documents held by the Custodian
relating to the Deleted Mortgage Loan. In the event of a repurchase or
substitution, the Seller shall, simultaneously with such reassignment, give
written notice to the Purchaser that such repurchase or substitution has taken
place, amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of the Deleted
Mortgage Loan from this Agreement, and, in the case of substitution, identify a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan and amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule
to reflect the addition of such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan to this
Agreement. In connection with any such substitution, the Seller shall be deemed
to have made as to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan the representations
and warranties set forth in this Agreement except that all such representations
and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed made as of the date
of such substitution. The Seller shall effect such substitution by delivering to
the Custodian or to such other party as the Purchaser may designate in writing
for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan the documents required by Section
6.03 and the Custodial Agreement, with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required by
Section 6.03 and the Custodial Agreement. No substitution will be made in any
calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. The Seller shall
remit directly to the Purchaser, or its designee in accordance with the
Purchaser's instructions the Monthly Payment less the Servicing Fee due, if any,
on such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans in the month following the
date of such substitution. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall be retained by the
Seller. For the month of substitution, distributions to the Purchaser shall
include the Monthly Payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan in the month of
substitution, and the Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts
subsequently received by the Seller in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan.
For any month in which the Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall determine the amount
(if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of all Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of scheduled
principal payments due in the month of substitution). The amount of such
shortfall shall be distributed by the Seller directly to the Purchaser or its
designee in accordance with the Purchaser's instructions within two (2) Business
Days of such substitution. Accordingly, on the date of such substitution, the
Seller will deposit from its own funds into the Custodial Account an amount
equal to the amount of such shortfall at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate.
In addition to such repurchase or substitution obligation, the
Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser and its present and former directors,
officers, employees and agents and any Successor Servicer and its present and
former directors, officers, employees and agents and hold such parties harmless
against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and
expenses and related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting
from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or
resulting from, a breach of any representation or warranty contained in this
Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement. It is understood and agreed that the
obligations of the Seller set forth in this Section 9.03 to cure, substitute for
or repurchase a defective Mortgage Loan and to indemnify the Purchaser and
Successor Servicer as provided in this Section 9.03 and in Section 14.01
constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of the
foregoing representations and warranties. For purposes of this paragraph
"Purchaser" shall mean the Person then acting as the Purchaser under this
Agreement and any and all Persons who previously were "Purchasers" under this
Agreement and "Successor Servicer" shall mean any Person designated as the
Successor Servicer pursuant to this Agreement and any and all Persons who
previously were "Successor Servicers" pursuant to this Agreement.
Any cause of action against the Seller relating to or arising out of
the breach of any representations and warranties made in Sections 9.01 and 9.02
shall accrue as to any Mortgage Loan upon (i) discovery of such breach by the
Purchaser or notice thereof by the Seller to the Purchaser, (ii) failure by the
Seller to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified above,
and (iii) demand upon the Seller by the Purchaser for compliance with this
Agreement.
Section 9.04 Repurchase of Mortgage Loans with Early Payment
Defaults. If the related Mortgagor is thirty (30) or more days delinquent with
respect to (i) the Mortgage Loan's first Monthly Payment after origination or
(ii) either of the Mortgage Loan's first two (2) Monthly Payments after the
related Closing Date, the Seller, at the Purchaser's option, shall repurchase
such Mortgage Loan from the Purchaser at a price equal to the Repurchase Price.
The Purchaser shall notify the Seller and request a repurchase within sixty (60)
days after the related Mortgagor's failure to make such payment and the Seller
shall repurchase such delinquent Mortgage Loan within thirty (30) days of such
request.
Section 9.05 Premium Recapture. With respect to any Mortgage Loan
that prepays in full during the first sixty (60) days following the related
Closing Date, the Seller shall pay the Purchaser, within twenty (20) days after
such prepayment in full or repurchase, an amount equal to the excess of the
Purchase Price Percentage for such Mortgage Loan over par, multiplied by the
outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the related Cut-off
Date over (ii) any Prepayment Penalties collected on such prepaid Mortgage
Loans.

-------------------------------------------
Section 13.01 Reconstitution of Mortgage Loans.
The Seller and the Purchaser agree that with respect to some or all
of the Mortgage Loans, after the related Closing Date, on one or more dates
(each, a "Reconstitution Date") at the Purchaser's sole option, the Purchaser
may effect a sale (each, a "Reconstitution") of some or all of the Mortgage

(i) Xxxxxx Xxx under its Cash Purchase Program or MBS Program
(Special Servicing Option) (each, a "Xxxxxx Mae Transfer"); or
(ii) Xxxxxxx Mac (the "Xxxxxxx Mac Transfer"); or
(iii) one or more third party purchasers in one or more Whole Loan
Transfers; or
(iv) one or more trusts or other entities to be formed as part of
one or more Securitization Transactions.
The Seller agrees to execute in connection with any Agency Transfer,
any and all pool purchase contracts, and/or agreements reasonably acceptable to
the Seller among the Purchaser, the Seller, Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac (as the
case may be) and any servicer in connection with a Whole Loan Transfer, a
seller's warranties and servicing agreement or a participation and servicing
agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the parties, and in
connection with a Securitization Transaction, a pooling and servicing agreement
in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the parties or an Assignment and
Recognition Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I
(collectively, the agreements referred to herein are designated, the
"Reconstitution Agreements"), together with an opinion of counsel with respect
to such Reconstitution Agreements.
With respect to each Whole Loan Transfer and each Securitization
Transaction entered into by the Purchaser, the Seller agrees (1) to cooperate
fully with the Purchaser and any prospective purchaser with respect to all
reasonable requests and due diligence procedures; (2) to execute, deliver and
perform all Reconstitution Agreements required by the Purchaser; and (3) (3) to
restate the representations and warranties set forth in Section 9.01 of this
Agreement and the Servicing Agreement as of the Reconstitution Date, or make

connection with such Reconstitution. The Seller shall provide to such servicer
or issuer, as the case may be, and any other participants or purchasers in such
Reconstitution: (i) any and all information and appropriate verification of
information which may be reasonably available to the Seller or its Affiliates,
whether through letters of its auditors and counsel or otherwise, as the
Purchaser or any such other participant shall request; (ii) such additional
representations, warranties, covenants, opinions of counsel, letters from
auditors, and certificates of public officials or officers of the Seller as are
reasonably believed necessary by the Purchaser or any such other participant;
and (iii) to execute, deliver and satisfy all conditions set forth in any
indemnity agreement required by the Purchaser or any such participant,
including, without limitation, an Indemnification and Contribution Agreement in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. Moreover, the Seller agrees
to cooperate with all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser to effect such
Reconstitution Agreements. The Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser, each
Affiliate of the Purchaser participating in the Reconstitution and each Person
who controls the Purchaser or such Affiliate and their respective present and
former directors, officers, employees and agents, and hold each of them harmless
from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees
and expenses and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and
expenses that each of them may sustain arising out of or based upon any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
information provided by or on behalf of the Seller regarding the Seller, the
Seller's or other originator's static pool information, the Mortgage Loans or
the Underwriting Guidelines set forth in any offering document prepared in
connection with any Reconstitution. For purposes of the previous sentence,
"Purchaser" shall mean the Person then acting as the Purchaser under this
Agreement and any and all Persons who previously were "Purchasers" under this
Agreement.
In the event the Purchaser has elected to have the Seller hold
record title to the Mortgages, prior to the Reconstitution Date, the Seller
shall prepare an assignment of mortgage in blank or to the prospective purchaser
or trustee, as applicable, from the Seller, acceptable to the prospective
purchaser or trustee, as applicable, for each Mortgage Loan that is part of the
Reconstitution and shall pay all preparation and recording costs associated
therewith. In connection with the Reconstitution, the Seller shall execute each
assignment of mortgage, track such Assignments of Mortgage to ensure they have
been recorded and deliver them as required by the prospective purchaser or
trustee, as applicable, upon the Seller's receipt thereof. Additionally, the
Seller shall prepare and execute, at the direction of the Purchaser, any note
endorsement in connection with any and all seller/servicer agreements.

THE SELLER
----------
Section 14.01 Additional Indemnification by the Seller; Third Party
Claims.
(a) The Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser and its present and
former directors, officers, employees and agents and any Successor Servicer and
its present and former directors, officers, employees and agents, and hold such
parties harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, legal fees and expenses (including legal fees and expenses incurred
in connection with the enforcement of the Seller's indemnification obligation
under this Section 14.01) and related costs, judgments, and any other costs,
fees and expenses that such parties may sustain in any way related to the
failure of the Seller to perform its duties in strict compliance with the terms
of this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement entered into pursuant to
Article XIII or any breach of any of Seller's representation, warranties and
covenants set forth in this Agreement. For purposes of this paragraph
"Purchaser" shall mean the Person then acting as the Purchaser under this
Agreement and any and all Persons who previously were "Purchasers" under this
Agreement and "Successor Servicer" shall mean any Person designated as the
Successor Servicer pursuant to this Agreement and any and all Persons who
previously were "Successor Servicers" pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 14.01 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified
party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying
party under this Section 14.01, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the
commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will
not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any
indemnified party under this Section 14.01, except to the extent that it has
been prejudiced in any material respect, or from any liability which it may
have, otherwise than under this Section 14.01. In case any such action is
brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of
the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate
therein, and to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the
indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such
indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided that if the defendants in any
such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and
the indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may
be legal defenses available to it or them and/or other indemnified parties which
are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party,
the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel
to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of
such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of
notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so
to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of
counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party for
expenses incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in
connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso
to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the
indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one
separate counsel (together with one local counsel, if applicable)), (ii) the
indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable
time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party
has authorized in writing the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at
the expense of the indemnifying party; and except that, if clause (i) or (iii)
is applicable, such liability shall be only in respect of the counsel referred
to in such clause (i) or (iii).
Section 14.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Seller.
The Seller will keep in full effect its existence, rights and
franchises as a corporation under the laws of the state of its incorporation
except as permitted herein, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do
business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform
its duties under this Agreement.
Any Person into which the Seller may be merged or consolidated, or
any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the Seller shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the
Seller, shall be the successor of the Seller 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 shall have a net worth of at least $25,000,000.
ARTICLE XV

Section 15.01 Financial Statements.
The Seller understands that in connection with the Purchaser's
marketing of the Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser shall make available to
prospective purchasers audited financial statements of the Seller for the most
recently completed three fiscal years respecting which such statements are
available, as well as a Consolidated Statement of Condition of the Seller at the
end of the last two fiscal years covered by such Consolidated Statement of
Operations. The Seller shall also make available any comparable interim
statements to the extent any such statements have been prepared by the Seller
(and are available upon request to members or stockholders of the Seller or the
public at large). The Seller, if it has not already done so, agrees to furnish
promptly to the Purchaser copies of the statements specified above; provided,
however, any statements referenced above shall be only required to be provided
by the Seller to the Purchaser if the Seller is no longer a public company whose
financial statements are readily available to the Purchaser without the Seller's
assistance. The Seller shall also make available information on its servicing
performance with respect to loans serviced for others, including delinquency
ratios.
The Seller also agrees to allow reasonable access to a knowledgeable
financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions asked by
any prospective purchaser regarding recent developments affecting the Seller or
the financial statements of the Seller.
Section 15.02 Mandatory Delivery.
The sale and delivery on the related Closing Date of the Mortgage
Loans described on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is mandatory from and
after the date of the execution of the related Purchase Price and Terms
Agreement, it being specifically understood and agreed that each Mortgage Loan
is unique and identifiable on the date hereof and that an award of money damages
would be insufficient to compensate the Purchaser for the losses and damages
incurred by the Purchaser (including damages to prospective purchasers of the
Mortgage Loans) in the event of the Seller's failure to deliver (i) each of the
related Mortgage Loans or (ii) one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans
or (iii) one or more Mortgage Loans otherwise acceptable to the Purchaser on or
before the related Closing Date.
Section 15.03 Notices.

addressee (as evidenced, in the case of registered or certified mail, by the
date noted on the return receipt).
Section 15.04 Severability Clause.
Any part, provision representation or warranty of this Agreement
which is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction shall be ineffective, as to such jurisdiction, to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits
or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof. If the invalidity of any
part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement shall deprive any
party of the economic benefit intended to be conferred by this Agreement, the
parties shall negotiate, in good-faith, to develop a structure the economic
effect of which is nearly as possible the same as the economic effect of this
Agreement without regard to such invalidity.
Section 15.05 Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of
counterparts. Each counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, and all such
counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.
Section 15.06 [Reserved].
Section 15.07 Intention of the Parties.
It is the intention of the parties that the Purchaser is purchasing,
and the Seller is selling the Mortgage Loans and not a debt instrument of the
Seller or another security. Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat
the transaction for Federal income tax purposes as a sale by the Seller, and a
purchase by the Purchaser, of the Mortgage Loans. Moreover, the arrangement
under which the Mortgage Loans are held shall be consistent with classification
of such arrangement as a grantor trust in the event it is not found to represent
direct ownership of the Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser shall have the right to
review the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Loan Files to determine the
characteristics of the Mortgage Loans which shall affect the Federal income tax
consequences of owning the Mortgage Loans and the Seller shall cooperate with
all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser in the course of such review. The
Seller and the Purchaser intend to reflect the transfer of the Mortgage Loans as
a sale on the books and records of the Seller and as a purchase on the books and
records of the Purchaser and have determined that the disposition of the
Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement will be afforded sale treatment for
tax and accounting purposes.
Section 15.08 Successors and Assigns; Assignment of Purchase
Agreement.
This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the Seller and the Purchaser and the respective permitted
successors and assigns of the Seller and the successors and assigns of the
Purchaser. This Agreement shall not be assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the
Seller to a third party without the prior written consent of the Purchaser,
which consent may be withheld by the Purchaser in its sole discretion. This
Agreement may be assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the Purchaser in whole or
in part, and with respect to one or more of the Mortgage Loans, without the
consent of the Seller. There shall be no limitation on the number of assignments
or transfers allowable by the Purchaser with respect to the Mortgage Loans and
this Agreement except that the Purchaser may not assign Mortgage Loans in any
Mortgage Loan Package to more than four (4) assignees. In the event the
Purchaser assigns this Agreement, and the assignee assumes any of the
Purchaser's obligations hereunder, the Seller acknowledges and agrees to look
solely to such assignee, and not to the Purchaser, for performance of the
obligations so assumed and the Purchaser shall be relieved from any liability to
the Seller with respect thereto.
Section 15.09 Waivers.
No term or provision of this Agreement may be waived or modified
unless such waiver or modification is in writing and signed by the party against
whom such waiver or modification is sought to be enforced.

The exhibits to this Agreement are hereby incorporated and made a
part hereof and are an integral part of this Agreement.

without limitation, (a) consents, waivers and modifications which may hereafter
be executed, (b) documents received by any party at the closing, and (c)
financial statements, certificates and other information previously or hereafter
furnished, may be reproduced by any photographic, photostatic, microfilm,
micro-card, miniature photographic or other similar process. The parties agree
that any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original
itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding, whether or not the original

the other such reasonable and appropriate additional documents, instruments or

Agreement.
Section 15.14 [Reserved].
Section 15.15 No Solicitation.
From and after the related Closing Date, the Seller agrees that it
will not take any action or permit or cause any action to be taken by any of its
agents or Affiliates, or by any independent contractors on the Seller's behalf,
to personally, by telephone or mail (via electronic means or otherwise), solicit
a Mortgagor under any Mortgage Loan for the purpose of refinancing a Mortgage
Loan, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the Seller, or
any of its respective Affiliates:
(i) may advertise its availability for handling refinancings of
mortgages in its portfolio, including the promotion of terms
it has available for such refinancings, through the sending of

ARTICLE XVI
COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATION AB
-----------------------------
Section 16.01 Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness.
The Purchaser and the Seller acknowledge and agree that the purpose
of Section 16 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Purchaser and
any Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and
regulations of the Commission. Although Regulation AB is applicable by its terms
only to offerings of asset-backed securities that are registered under the
Securities Act, the Seller acknowledges that investors in privately offered
securities may require that the Purchaser or any Depositor provide comparable
disclosure in unregistered offerings. References in this Agreement to compliance
with Regulation AB include provision of comparable disclosure in private
offerings.
Neither the Purchaser nor any Depositor shall exercise its right to
request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions
other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission
thereunder (or the provision in a private offering of disclosure comparable to
that required under the Securities Act). The Seller acknowledges that
interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time,
whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff,
consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of
counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with reasonable requests made by the
Purchaser or any Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these
provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In
connection with any Securitization Transaction, the Seller shall cooperate fully
with the Purchaser to deliver to the Purchaser (including any of its assignees
or designees) and any Depositor, any and all statements, reports,
certifications, records and any other information reasonably necessary in the
good faith determination of the Purchaser or any Depositor to permit the
Purchaser or such Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB,
together with such disclosures relating to the Seller, any Third-Party
Originator and the Mortgage Loans, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans
provided that the Seller is servicing the Mortgage Loans of the related
Securitization, reasonably believed by the Purchaser or any Depositor to be
necessary in order to effect such compliance.
The Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees) shall
cooperate with the Seller by providing timely notice of requests for information
under these provisions and by reasonably limiting such requests to information
required, in the Purchaser's reasonable judgment, to comply with Regulation AB.
Section 16.02 Additional Representations and Warranties of the
Seller.
(a) The Seller shall be deemed to represent to the Purchaser and to
any Depositor, as of the date on which information is first provided to the
Purchaser or any Depositor under Section 16.03 that, except as disclosed in
writing to the Purchaser or such Depositor prior to such date: (i) there are no
material legal or governmental proceedings pending (or known to be contemplated)
against the Seller or any Third-Party Originator; and (ii) there are no
affiliations, relationships or transactions relating to the Seller or any
Third-Party Originator with respect to any Securitization Transaction and any
party thereto identified by the related Depositor of a type described in Item
1119 of Regulation AB.
(b) If so requested by the Purchaser or any Depositor on any date
following the date on which information is first provided to the Purchaser or
any Depositor under Section 16.03, the Seller shall, within five Business Days
following such request, confirm in writing the accuracy of the representations
and warranties set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section or, if any such
representation and warranty is not accurate as of the date of such request,
provide reasonably adequate disclosure of the pertinent facts, in writing, to
the requesting party.
Section 16.03 Information to Be Provided by the Seller.
In connection with any Securitization Transaction the Seller shall
(i) within five Business Days but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days
following written request by the Purchaser or any Depositor, provide to the
Purchaser and such Depositor (or, as applicable, cause each Third-Party
Originator to provide), in writing and in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Purchaser and such Depositor, the information and materials
specified in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section, and (ii) as promptly as
practicable following notice to or discovery by the Seller, provide to the
Purchaser and any Depositor (in writing and in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Purchaser and such Depositor) the information specified in
paragraph (d) of this Section.
(a) If so requested in writing by the Purchaser or any Depositor,
the Seller shall provide such information regarding (i) the Seller, as
originator of the Mortgage Loans (including as an acquirer of Mortgage Loans
from a Qualified Correspondent), or (ii) each Third-Party Originator, as is
reasonably requested for the purpose of compliance with Items 1103(a)(1), 1105,
1110, 1117 and 1119 of Regulation AB. Such information shall include, at a
minimum so long as required by Regulation AB:
(A) the originator's form of organization;
(B) a description of the originator's origination program and
how long the originator has been engaged in originating residential
mortgage loans, which description shall include a discussion of the
originator's experience in originating mortgage loans of a similar
type as the Mortgage Loans; information regarding the size and
composition of the originator's origination portfolio; and
information that may be material, in the good faith judgment of the
Purchaser or any Depositor, to an analysis of the performance of the
Mortgage Loans, including the originators' credit-granting or
underwriting criteria for mortgage loans of similar type(s) as the
Mortgage Loans and such other information as the Purchaser or any
Depositor may reasonably request for the purpose of compliance with
Item 1110(b)(2) of Regulation AB;
(C) a description of any legal or governmental proceedings
pending (or known to be contemplated) against the Seller and each

(3) the issuing entity;
(4) any servicer;
(5) any trustee;
(6) any originator;

to provide) Static Pool Information with respect to the mortgage loans (of a
similar type as the Mortgage Loans, as reasonably identified by the Purchaser as
provided below) originated by (i) the Seller, if the Seller is an originator of
Mortgage Loans (including as an acquirer of Mortgage Loans from a Qualified
Correspondent), and/or (ii) each Third-Party Originator. Such Static Pool
Information shall be prepared by the Seller (or Third-Party Originator) on the
basis of its reasonable, good faith interpretation of the requirements of Item
1105(a)(1)-(3) of Regulation AB. To the extent that there is reasonably
available to the Seller (or Third-Party Originator) Static Pool Information with
respect to more than one mortgage loan type, the Purchaser or any Depositor
shall be entitled to specify whether some or all of such information shall be
provided pursuant to this paragraph. The content of such Static Pool Information
may be in the form customarily provided by the Seller, and need not be
customized for the Purchaser or any Depositor. Such Static Pool Information for
each vintage origination year or prior securitized pool, as applicable, shall be
presented in increments no less frequently than quarterly over the life of the
mortgage loans included in the vintage origination year or prior securitized

format (pdf) file, or other such electronic format reasonably required by the
Purchaser or the Depositor, as applicable.
Promptly following notice or discovery of a material error in Static
Pool Information provided pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph
(including an omission to include therein information required to be provided
pursuant to such paragraph), the Seller shall provide corrected Static Pool
Information to the Purchaser or any Depositor, as applicable, in the same format
in which Static Pool Information was previously provided to such party by the
Seller, subject to mutually agreed time limits.
If so requested in writing by the Purchaser or any Depositor, the
Seller shall provide (or, as applicable, cause each Third-Party Originator to
provide), at the expense of the requesting party (to the extent of any
additional incremental expense associated with delivery pursuant to this
Agreement), such agreed-upon procedures letters of certified public accountants
reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser or Depositor, as applicable, pertaining
to Static Pool Information relating to prior securitized pools for
securitizations closed on or after January 1, 2006 or, in the case of Static
Pool Information with respect to the Seller's or Third-Party Originator's
originations or purchases, to calendar months commencing January 1, 2006, as the
Purchaser or such Depositor shall reasonably request. Such letters shall be
addressed to and be for the benefit of such parties as the Purchaser or such
Depositor shall designate, which may include, by way of example, any Sponsor,
any Depositor and any broker dealer acting as underwriter, placement agent or
initial purchaser with respect to a Securitization Transaction. Any such
statement or letter may take the form of a standard, generally applicable

Agreement to which this Exhibit is attached (the "Agreement"):
(a) the original Mortgage Note bearing all intervening endorsements,
endorsed "Pay to the order of _________, without recourse" and signed in the
name of the last endorsee (the "Last Endorsee") by an authorized officer. To the
extent that there is no room on the face of the Mortgage Notes for endorsements,
the endorsement may be contained on an allonge, if state law so allows and the
Custodian is so advised by the Seller that state law so allows. If the Mortgage
Loan was acquired by the Seller in a merger, the endorsement must be by "[Last
Endorsee], successor by merger to [name of predecessor]". If the Mortgage Loan

[previous name]";

Mortgage Note;
(c) with respect to Mortgage Loans that are not Co-op Loans, the

Mortgage Loan, the Seller cannot deliver or cause to be delivered the original
Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon on or prior to the Closing Date
because of a delay caused by the public recording office where such Mortgage has
been delivered for recordation or because such Mortgage has been lost or because
such public recording office retains the original recorded Mortgage, the Seller
shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian, a photocopy of such
Mortgage, together with (i) in the case of a delay caused by the public
recording office, an Officer's Certificate of the Seller (or certified by the

public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded
Mortgage will be promptly delivered to the Custodian upon receipt thereof by the
Seller; or (ii) in the case of a Mortgage where a public recording office
retains the original recorded Mortgage or in the case where a Mortgage is lost
after recordation in a public recording office, a copy of such Mortgage
certified by such public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the
original recorded Mortgage;
(d) the originals of all assumption, modification, consolidation or
extension agreements, if any, with evidence of recording thereon;
(e) with respect to Mortgage Loans that are not Co-op Loans, the
original Assignment of Mortgage for each Mortgage Loan, in form and substance

Assignment of Mortgage must be duly recorded only if recordation is either
necessary under applicable law or commonly required by private institutional
mortgage investors in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located or on
direction of the Purchaser as provided in this Agreement. If the Assignment of
Mortgage is to be recorded, the Mortgage shall be assigned to the Purchaser. If
the Assignment of Mortgage is not to be recorded, the Assignment of Mortgage
shall be delivered in blank. If the Mortgage Loan was acquired by the Seller in
a merger, the Assignment of Mortgage must be made by "[Seller], successor by
merger to [name of predecessor]". If the Mortgage Loan was acquired or
originated by the Seller while doing business under another name, the Assignment
of Mortgage must be by "[Seller], formerly known as [previous name]";
(f) with respect to Mortgage Loans that are not Co-op Loans, the
originals of all intervening assignments of mortgage (if any) evidencing a
complete chain of assignment from the Seller to the Last Endorsee (or, in the
case of a MERS Designated Loan, MERS) with evidence of recording thereon, or if
any such intervening assignment has not been returned from the applicable
recording office or has been lost or if such public recording office retains the
original recorded assignments of mortgage, the Seller shall deliver or cause to
be delivered to the Custodian, a photocopy of such intervening assignment,
together with (i) in the case of a delay caused by the public recording office,
an Officer's Certificate of the Seller (or certified by the title company,
escrow agent, or closing attorney) stating that such intervening assignment of

recordation and that such original recorded intervening assignment of mortgage
or a copy of such intervening assignment of mortgage certified by the
appropriate public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the

intervening assignment certified by such public recording office to be a true
and complete copy of the original recorded intervening assignment;
(g) with respect to Mortgage Loans that are not Co-op Loans, the
original mortgagee policy of title insurance or, in the event such original
title policy is unavailable, a certified true copy of the related policy binder
or commitment for title certified to be true and complete by the title insurance
company;
(h) the original or, if unavailable, a copy of any security
agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document executed in connection with
the Mortgage;

and the assignment of such Co-op Lease, with all intervening assignments showing
a complete chain of title and an assignment thereof by Seller; (ii) the stock

assignment of the subject security interest showing a complete chain of title,
together with an executed UCC-3 assignment of such security interest by the
Seller in a form sufficient for filing; and
(j) if any of the above documents has been executed by a person
holding a power of attorney, an original or photocopy of such power certified by
the Seller to be a true and correct copy of the original.
In the event an Officer's Certificate of the Seller is delivered to
the Purchaser because of a delay caused by the public recording office in
returning any recorded document, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser,
within 90 days of the related Closing Date, an Officer's Certificate which shall
(i) identify the recorded document, (ii) state that the recorded document has
not been delivered to the Custodian due solely to a delay caused by the public
recording office, (iii) state the amount of time generally required by the
applicable recording office to record and return a document submitted for
recordation, and (iv) specify the date the applicable recorded document will be
delivered to the Custodian; provided, however, that any recorded document shall
in no event be delivered later than one year following the related Closing Date.
An extension of the date specified in clause (iv) above may be requested from
the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

"Indemnified Parties"), against any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties,
fines, forfeitures or liabilities, joint or several, to which each such
Indemnified Party may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or
otherwise, to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are
based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in the Prospectus Supplement, the Offering Circular, the ABS
Informational and Computational Materials, any Free Writing Prospectus or any
amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon (i) any
breach of the representation and warranty set forth in Article II(d) above or
(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, to the extent that
such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission relates to information set forth in the Indemnifying Party Information,
and the Indemnifying Party shall in each case reimburse each Indemnified Party
for any legal or other costs, fees, or expenses reasonably incurred and as
incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending
any such loss, claim, damage, penalty, fine, forfeiture, liability or action.
The Indemnifying Party's liability under this Section 3.1 shall be in addition
to any other liability that the Indemnifying Party may otherwise have.
(b) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 3.1 shall
for any reason be unavailable to an Indemnified Party under this Section 3.1
(other than due to indemnification not being applicable under Section 3.1(a)),
then the party which would otherwise be obligated to indemnify with respect
thereto, on the one hand, and the parties which would otherwise be entitled to
be indemnified, on the other hand, shall contribute to the aggregate losses,
liabilities, claims, damages, penalty, fine, forfeiture, costs, fees and
expenses of the nature contemplated herein and incurred by the parties hereto in
such proportions that are appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
Depositor or the Underwriter, on the one hand, and the Indemnifying Party, on
the other hand, in connection with the applicable misstatements or omissions as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning
of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution from any
Person that was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of
this Section 3.1, each director of a party to this Agreement and each Person, if
any, that controls a party to this Agreement within the meaning of Section 15 of
the 1933 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such party.
3.2 Notification; Procedural Matters. Promptly after receipt by an
Indemnified Party under Section 3.1 of notice of any claim or the commencement
of any action, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to
be made against the Indemnifying Party (or if a claim for contribution is to be
made against another party) under Section 3.1, notify the Indemnifying Party (or
other contributing party) in writing of the claim or the commencement of such
action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Party (or
other contributing party) shall not relieve it from any liability which it may
have under Section 3.1 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by
such failure; and provided, further, however, that the failure to notify the
Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to
any Indemnified Party (or to the party requesting contribution) otherwise than
under Section 3.1. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified
Party and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the
Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent
that, by written notice delivered to the Indemnified Party promptly after
receiving the aforesaid notice from such Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying
Party elects to assume the defense thereof, it may participate with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if
the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party or parties shall reasonably have
concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it or them and/or other
Indemnified Parties that are different from or additional to those available to
the Indemnifying Party, or if the use of counsel chosen by the Indemnifying
Party to represent the Indemnified Parties would present such counsel with a
conflict of interest, the Indemnified Party or parties shall have the right to
select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise
participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party or
parties. Upon receipt of notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified
Party of its election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by
the Indemnified Party of such counsel, the Indemnifying Party shall not be
liable to such Indemnified Party under this paragraph for any legal or other
expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the
defense thereof, unless (i) the Indemnified Party shall have employed separate
counsel (plus any local counsel) in connection with the assertion of legal
defenses in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence,
(ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party within
a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the
Indemnifying Party shall have authorized the employment of counsel for the
Indemnified Party at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. No party shall be
liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In no event shall the
Indemnifying Party be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel
(in addition to any local counsel) separate from its own counsel for all
Indemnified Parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or
related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general
allegations or circumstances.

party against whom such waiver or modification is sought to be enforced, with
the prior written consent of the Trustee.

successors and assigns of the parties hereto and (ii) the Trust (including the

Assignee to the Trust and nothing contained herein shall supersede or amend the
terms of the Purchase Agreement.
10. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of
counterparts. Each counterpart shall be deemed to be an original and all such
counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.
11. In the event that any provision of this Agreement conflicts
with any provision of the Purchase Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans,
the terms of this Agreement shall control.
12. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement (including the
exhibits hereto) but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings given
to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be
executed by their duly authorized officers as of the date first above written.

ARTICLE II
SERVICING
Section 2.01 Seller to Act as Servicer.
(a) From and after the related Closing Date, the Seller, as an
independent contractor, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans and
shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through subservicers or
agents, to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and
administration which the Seller may deem necessary or desirable, consistent with
the terms of this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices. Except as set
forth in this Agreement, the Seller shall service the Mortgage Loans in strict
compliance with the servicing provisions related to the Xxxxxx Xxx MBS Program
(Special Servicing Option) of the Xxxxxx Mae Guides. In the event of any
conflict, inconsistency or discrepancy between any of the servicing provisions
of this Agreement and any of the servicing provisions of the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides,
the provisions of this Agreement shall control and be binding upon the Purchaser
and the Seller.
Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Seller may waive,
modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of
strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any
Mortgagor if in the Seller's reasonable and prudent determination such waiver,
modification, postponement or indulgence is not individually or in the aggregate
materially adverse to the Purchaser, provided, however, that unless the Seller
has obtained the prior written consent of the Purchaser, the Seller shall not
(unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan, or such
default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, imminent) permit any modification
with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate,
defer or forgive the payment of principal or interest or any penalty or premium
on the prepayment of principal, reduce or increase the outstanding principal
balance (except for actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity
date on such Mortgage Loan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Seller shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to execute
and deliver on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, all instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all
other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with
respect to the Mortgaged Properties. If reasonably required by the Seller, the
Purchaser shall furnish the Seller with any powers of attorney and other
documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Seller to carry out its
servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.
In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Seller shall
employ procedures (including collection procedures) and exercise the same care
that it customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering
mortgage loans for its own account, giving due consideration to Accepted
Servicing Practices where such practices do not conflict with the requirements
of this Agreement, and the Purchaser's reliance on the Seller. In addition, the
Seller shall retain adequate personnel to effect such servicing and
administration of the Mortgage Loans.
The Seller shall keep at its servicing office books and records in
which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Seller
shall note transfers of Mortgage Loans. No transfer of a Mortgage Loan may be
made unless such transfer is in compliance with the terms hereof. For the
purposes of this Agreement, Seller shall be under no obligation to deal with any
Person with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans unless the Seller
has been notified of such transfers as provided in this Section 2.01. The
Purchaser may sell and transfer, in whole or in part, the Mortgage Loans,
provided that no such sale and transfer shall be binding upon Seller unless such
transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and
the Purchase Agreement. Upon the execution of such writing, the Seller shall
xxxx its books and records to reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loans by
such assignee, and the previous Purchaser shall be released from its obligations
hereunder. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Purchaser and the Seller and their permitted successors, assignees and
designees.
The Servicing File retained by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement
shall be appropriately marked and identified in the Seller's computer system to
clearly reflect the sale of the related Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser. The
Seller shall release from its custody the contents of any Servicing File
retained by it only in accordance with this Agreement, except when such release
is required in connection with a repurchase of any such Mortgage Loan pursuant
to Section 9 of the Purchase Agreement.
The Seller shall forward to the Custodian or, at the request of the
Purchaser, to the Purchaser or its designee, original documents evidencing an
assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan
entered into in accordance with this Agreement within two weeks of their
execution; provided, however, that the Seller shall provide the Custodian with a
certified true copy of any such document submitted for recordation within two
weeks of its execution, and shall provide the original of any document submitted
for recordation or a copy of such document certified by the appropriate public
recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original within ninety
days of its submission for recordation.
In the event that such original or copy of any document submitted
for recordation to the appropriate public recording office is not so delivered
to the Custodian within 90 days of the related Closing Date, and in the event
that the Seller does not cure such failure within 30 days of discovery or
receipt of written notification of such failure from the Purchaser, the related
Mortgage Loan shall, upon the request of the Purchaser, be repurchased by the
Seller at the price and in the manner specified in Section 9 of the Purchase
Agreement. The foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event that
the Seller cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted for
recordation to the appropriate public recording office within the specified
period due to a delay caused by the recording office in the applicable
jurisdiction, provided that (i) the Seller shall deliver a recording receipt of
such recording office or, if such recording receipt is not available, an
Officer's Certificate of the Seller, which shall (i) identify the recorded
document, (ii) state that the recorded document has not been delivered to the
Custodian due solely to a delay caused by the public recording office, (iii)
state the amount of time generally required by the applicable recording office
to record and return a document submitted for recordation, and (iv) specify the
date the applicable recorded document will be delivered to the Custodian;
provided, however, that any recorded document shall in no event be delivered
later than one year following the related Closing Date.
The Seller must have an internal quality control program that
verifies in a manner consistent with accepted industry procedures, on a regular
basis, the existence and accuracy of the legal documents, credit documents,
property appraisals, and underwriting decisions. The program must be capable of
evaluating and monitoring the overall quality of it's loan production and
servicing activities. The program is to ensure that the Mortgage Loans are
originated and serviced in accordance with prudent mortgage banking practices
and accounting principles; guard against dishonest, fraudulent, or negligent
acts; and guard against errors and omissions by officers, employees, or other
authorized persons.
If a REMIC election has been made with respect to the arrangement
under which the Mortgage Loans and REO Property are held, the Seller shall not
take any action, cause the REMIC to take any action or fail to take (or fail to
cause to be taken) any action, that under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not
taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of the REMIC as a REMIC
or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon the REMIC (including but not
limited to the tax on "prohibited transactions" as defined in Section 860(a)(2)
of the Code and the tax on "contributions" to a REMIC set forth in Section 860D
of the Code) unless the Seller has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the
expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the
contemplated action will not endanger such REMIC status or result in the
imposition of any tax on the REMIC.
(b) In addition to the Seller's servicing obligations as set forth
herein, the Seller shall not consent to the placement of a lien on the Mortgaged
Property senior to that of the related Mortgage.
Section 2.02 Liquidation of Mortgage Loans.
In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan and not
postponed pursuant to Section 2.01 is not paid when the same becomes due and
payable, or in the event the Mortgagor fails to perform any other covenant or
obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such failure continues beyond any
applicable grace period, the Seller shall take such action as (1) the Seller
would take under similar circumstances with respect to a similar mortgage loan
held for its own account for investment, (2) shall be consistent with Accepted
Servicing Practices, (3) the Seller shall determine prudently to be in the best
interest of Purchaser and (4) is consistent with any related PMI Policy. In the
event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan is not postponed pursuant to
Section 2.01 and remains delinquent for a period of 60 days or any other default
continues for a period of 60 days beyond the expiration of any grace or cure
period (or such other period as is required by law in the jurisdiction where the
related Mortgaged Property is located), the Seller shall commence foreclosure
proceedings in accordance with the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides, provided that, prior to
commencing foreclosure proceedings, the Seller shall notify the Purchaser in
writing of the Seller's intention to do so, and the Seller shall not commence
foreclosure proceedings if the Purchaser objects to such action within ten (10)
Business Days of receiving such notice. In such connection, the Seller shall
from its own funds make all necessary and proper Servicing Advances, provided,
however, that the Seller shall not be required to expend its own funds in
connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration or preservation of
any Mortgaged Property, unless it shall determine (a) that such preservation,
restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the
Mortgage Loan to Purchaser after reimbursement to itself for such expenses and
(b) that such expenses will be recoverable by it either through Liquidation
Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals
from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 2.05) or through Insurance
Proceeds (respecting which it shall have similar priority).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in
connection with a foreclosure, in the event the Seller has reasonable cause to
believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic
substances or wastes, or if the Purchaser otherwise requests an environmental
inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property to be conducted by a qualified
inspector the Seller shall cause the Mortgaged Property to be so inspected at
the Purchaser's expense. Upon completion of the inspection, the Seller shall
promptly provide the Purchaser with a written report of the environmental
inspection.
After reviewing the environmental inspection report, the Purchaser
shall determine how the Seller shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged
Property. In the event (a) the environmental inspection report indicates that
the Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or
wastes and (b) the Purchaser directs the Seller to proceed with foreclosure or
acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Seller shall be reimbursed for
all reasonable costs associated with such foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in
lieu of foreclosure and any related environmental clean up costs, as applicable,
from the related Liquidation Proceeds, or if the Liquidation Proceeds are
insufficient to fully reimburse the Seller, the Seller shall be entitled to be
reimbursed from amounts in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 2.05
hereof. In the event the Purchaser directs the Seller not to proceed with
foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Seller shall be
reimbursed for all Servicing Advances made with respect to the related Mortgaged
Property from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 2.05 hereof.
Section 2.03 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.
Continuously from the related Closing Date, the Seller shall proceed
diligently to collect all payments due under each of the related Mortgage Loans
when the same shall become due and payable and shall take special care in
ascertaining and estimating Escrow Payments and all other charges that will
become due and payable with respect to the Mortgage Loans and each related
Mortgaged Property, to the end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors
will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.
Section 2.04 Establishment of and Deposits to Custodial Account.
The Seller shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received
pursuant to the Mortgage Loans separate and apart from any of its own funds and
general assets and shall establish one or more Custodial Accounts, in the form
of time deposit or demand accounts, to be maintained in trust for the Purchaser
and titled "IndyMac Bank, F.S.B., in trust for Barclays Bank PLC as Purchaser of
Mortgage Loans." The Custodial Account shall be established with a Qualified
Depository acceptable to the Purchaser. The Seller and the Purchaser intend that
the Custodial Account be a special deposit account. Any funds deposited in the
Custodial Account shall at all times be fully insured to the full extent
permitted under applicable law. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be

being understood that, in the case of any such reimbursement, the Seller's
right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Purchaser, except that
where the Seller is required to purchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to

the case of any such reimbursement, the Seller's right thereto shall be
prior to the rights of Purchaser, except that, where the Seller is
required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 9 of the

to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser

required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loan.
Section 2.06 Establishment of and Deposits to Escrow Account.
The Seller shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received
pursuant to a Mortgage Loan constituting Escrow Payments separate and apart from
any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or
more Escrow Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled,
"IndyMac Bank, F.S.B., in trust for Barclays Bank PLC as Purchaser of Mortgage
Loans." The Seller and the Purchaser intend that the Escrow Account be a special
deposit account. The Escrow Account shall be established with a Qualified
Depository, in a manner which shall provide maximum available insurance
thereunder. Funds deposited in the Escrow Accounts may be drawn on by the Seller
in accordance with Section 2.07. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be
evidenced by a certification in the form of Exhibit 4 hereto, in the case of an
account established with the Seller, or by a letter agreement in the form of
Exhibit 5 hereto, in the case of an account held by a depository other than the
Seller. A copy of such certification shall be furnished to the Purchaser and,
upon request, to any subsequent Purchaser.
The Seller shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts on a
daily basis, and retain therein:
(i) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans,
for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required
under the terms of this Agreement; and
(ii) all amounts representing Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation
Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any
Mortgaged Property.
The Seller shall make withdrawals from the Escrow Account only to
effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, as set forth in
Section 2.07. The Seller shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds
deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution, other than
interest on escrowed funds required by law or the applicable mortgage loan
documents to be paid to the Mortgagor. To the extent required by law, the Seller
shall pay from its own funds interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor
notwithstanding that the Escrow Account may be non-interest bearing or that
interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.
Section 2.07 Permitted Withdrawals from Escrow Account.
Withdrawals from the Escrow Account or Accounts may be made by the
Seller only:
(i) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments,
water rates, mortgage insurance premiums, condominium charges, fire and
hazard insurance premiums or other items constituting Escrow Payments for
the related Mortgage;
(ii) to reimburse the Seller for any Servicing Advance made by the
Seller pursuant to Section 2.08 (except with respect to any expenses
incurred in procuring or transferring Tax Service Contracts) with respect
to a related Mortgage Loan, but only from amounts received on the related
Mortgage Loan which represent late collections of Escrow Payments
thereunder;
(iii) to refund to any Mortgagor any funds found to be in excess of
the amounts required under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or
applicable federal or state law or judicial or administrative ruling;
(iv) for transfer to the Custodial Account and application to reduce
the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of
the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note;
(v) for application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged
Property in accordance with the procedures outlined in Section 2.14;
(vi) to pay to the Seller, or any Mortgagor to the extent required
by law, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account;
and
(vii) to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination
of this Agreement.
Section 2.08 Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges.
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall maintain
accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments,
water rates, sewer rents, and other charges which are or may become a lien upon
the Mortgaged Property and the status of fire and hazard insurance coverage and
shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges
(including renewal premiums) and shall effect payment thereof prior to the
applicable penalty or termination date, employing for such purpose deposits of
the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and
accumulated by the Seller in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed
under the terms of the Mortgage. To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide
for Escrow Payments, the Seller shall determine whether any such payments are
made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due. The Seller assumes full
responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely
payment of all such charges irrespective of each Mortgagor's faithful
performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments, and the
Seller shall make Servicing Advances to effect such payments within such time
period as will avoid the loss of the related Mortgaged Property by foreclosure
of a tax or other lien.
Section 2.09 Protection of Accounts.
The Seller may transfer the Escrow Account to a different Qualified
Depository from time to time. Such transfer shall be made only upon obtaining
the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be withheld
unreasonably.
The Seller shall bear any expenses, losses or damages sustained by
the Purchaser because the Escrow Account are not demand deposit accounts.
Section 2.10 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.
The Seller shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan,
hazard insurance such that all buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured
by a generally acceptable insurer rated A:VI or better in the current Best's
against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are
customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located that conforms to
the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac.
If required by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended,
each Mortgage Loan is, and shall continue to be, covered by a flood insurance
policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal
Insurance Administration as in effect with a generally acceptable insurance
carrier rated A:VI or better in Best's in an amount representing coverage not
less than the lesser of (i) the aggregate unpaid Stated Principal Balance of the
related Mortgage Loan and of any mortgage loan senior to such Mortgage Loan,
(ii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968, as amended (regardless of whether the area in which such
Mortgaged Property is located is participating in such program), and (iii) the
full replacement value of the improvements which are part of such Mortgaged
Property. If a Mortgaged Property is located in a special flood hazard area and
is not covered by flood insurance or is covered in an amount less than the
amount required by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, the
Seller shall notify the related Mortgagor that the Mortgagor must obtain such
flood insurance coverage, and if said Mortgagor fails to obtain the required
flood insurance coverage within forty five (45) days after such notification,
the Seller shall immediately force place the required flood insurance on the
Mortgagor's behalf.
If a Mortgage is secured by a unit in a condominium project, the
Seller shall verify that the coverage required of the owner's association,
including hazard, flood, liability, and fidelity coverage, is being maintained
in accordance with then current Xxxxxx Mae requirements, and secure from the
owner's association its agreement to notify the Seller promptly of any change in
the insurance coverage or of any condemnation or casualty loss that may have a
material effect on the value of the Mortgaged Property as security.
The Seller shall cause to be maintained on each Mortgaged Property
such other or additional insurance as may be required pursuant to such
applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall
require such additional insurance, or pursuant to the requirements of any
private mortgage guaranty insurer, or as may be required to conform with
Accepted Servicing Practices.
In the event that the Purchaser or the Seller shall determine that
the Mortgaged Property should be insured against loss or damage by hazards and
risks not covered by the insurance required to be maintained by the Mortgagor
pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, the Seller shall communicate and consult
with the Mortgagor with respect to the need for such insurance and bring to the
Mortgagor's attention the desirability of protection of the Mortgaged Property.
All policies required hereunder shall name the Seller and its
successors and assigns as a mortgagee and loss payee and shall be endorsed with
non contributory standard or New York mortgagee clauses which shall provide for
at least 30 days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in amount
or material change in coverage.
The Seller shall not interfere with the Mortgagor's freedom of
choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however,
that the Seller shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance
companies unless such companies are rated A:VI or better in Best's and are
licensed to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is
located. The Seller shall determine that such policies provide sufficient risk
coverage and amounts as required pursuant to the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides, that they
insure the property owner and that they properly describe the property address.
The Seller shall furnish to the Mortgagor a formal notice of expiration of any
such insurance in sufficient time for the Mortgagor to arrange for renewal
coverage by the expiration date; provided, however, that in the event that no
such notice is furnished by the Seller, the Seller shall ensure that replacement
insurance policies are in place in the required coverages and the Seller shall
be solely liable for any losses in the event coverage is not provided.
Pursuant to Section 2.04, any amounts collected by the Seller under
any such policies (other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and
applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property, or
property acquired in liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, or to be released to the
Mortgagor, in accordance with the Seller's normal servicing procedures as
specified in Section 2.14) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject
to withdrawal pursuant to Section 2.05.
Section 2.11 Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance.
In the event that the Seller shall obtain and maintain, at its own
expense, a blanket policy insuring against losses arising from fire and hazards
covered under extended coverage on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the
extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required
pursuant to Section 2.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of
Section 2.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations
as set forth in Section 2.10. Any amounts collected by the Seller under any such
policy relating to a Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Custodial Account
subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 2.05. Such policy may contain a
deductible clause, in which case, in the event that there shall not have been
maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with Section
2.10, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such
policy, the Seller shall deposit in the Custodial Account at the time of such
loss the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such
deductible clause, such amount to be deposited from the Seller's funds, without
reimbursement therefor. Upon request of the Purchaser, the Seller shall cause to
be delivered to the Purchaser a certified true copy of such policy and a
statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be
terminated or materially modified without 30 days' prior written notice to the
Purchaser.
Section 2.12 Maintenance of Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions
Insurance.
The Seller shall maintain with responsible companies, at its own
expense, a blanket Fidelity Bond and an Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy,
with broad coverage on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any
capacity requiring such persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers
relating to the Mortgage Loans. These policies shall insure the Seller against
losses resulting from dishonest or fraudulent acts committed by the Seller's
personnel, any employees of outside firms that provide data processing services
for the Seller, and temporary contract employees or student interns. The
Fidelity Bond shall also protect and insure the Seller against losses in
connection with the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having
obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of
this Section 2.12 requiring such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions
Insurance Policy shall diminish or relieve the Seller from its duties and
obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such
Fidelity Bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding
amounts required by Xxxxxx Xxx in the Xxxxxx Mae Servicing Guide or by Xxxxxxx
Mac in the Xxxxxxx Mac Servicers' Guide or in an amount as may be permitted to
the Seller by express waiver of Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac. Upon the request of
the Purchaser, the Seller shall cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a
certified true copy of such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance
Policy and a statement from the surety and the insurer that such Fidelity Bond
and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall in no event be terminated or
materially modified without 30 days' prior written notice to the Purchaser.
Section 2.13 Inspections.
The Seller shall inspect the Mortgaged Property as often as is
deemed necessary by the Seller to assure itself that the value of the Mortgaged
Property is being preserved. In addition, if any Mortgage Loan is more than 60
days delinquent, the Seller shall immediately inspect the Mortgaged Property and
shall conduct subsequent inspections in accordance with Accepted Servicing
Practices. The Seller shall keep a written report of each such inspection.
Section 2.14 Restoration of Mortgaged Property.
The Seller need not obtain the approval of the Purchaser prior to
releasing any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to the Mortgagor to be
applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property if such release
is in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the terms of this
Agreement. At a minimum, the Seller shall comply with the following conditions
in connection with any such release of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation
Proceeds:
(i) the Seller shall receive satisfactory independent verification
of completion of repairs and issuance of any required approvals with
respect thereto;
(ii) the Seller shall take all steps necessary to preserve the
priority of the lien of the Mortgage, including, but not limited to
requiring waivers with respect to mechanics' and materialmen's liens;
(iii) the Seller shall verify that the Mortgage Loan is not in
default; and
(iv) pending repairs or restoration, the Seller shall place the
Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds in the Escrow Account.
If the Purchaser is named as an additional loss payee, the Seller is
hereby empowered to endorse any loss draft issued in respect of such a claim in
the name of the Purchaser.
Section 2.15 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.
In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in
foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale
shall be issued in the name of the Seller or its designee, on behalf of the
Purchaser, or in the event the Purchaser or its designee is not authorized or
permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property is
located, or would be adversely affected under the "doing business" or tax laws
of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be
issued in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be consistent with an
Opinion of Counsel obtained by the Seller from any attorney duly licensed to
practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. The Person or
Persons holding such title other than the Seller shall acknowledge in writing
that such title is being held as nominee for the Seller, on behalf of the
Purchaser.
The Seller shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO
Property for the Purchaser solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and
sale. The Seller, either itself or through an agent selected by the Seller,
shall manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO Property in the same manner
that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for
its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same
locality as the REO Property is managed. The Seller shall attempt to sell the
same (and may temporarily rent the same for a period not greater than one year,
except as otherwise provided below) on such terms and conditions as the Seller
deems to be in the best interest of the Purchaser. The Seller shall notify the
Purchaser from time to time as to the status of each REO Property.
If a REMIC election is or is to be made with respect to the
arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and any REO Property are held, the
Seller shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property 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 such REMIC of any "income from non permitted assets" within the
meaning of Section 860(a)(2)(B) of the Code or any "net income from foreclosure
property" within the meaning of Section 860(a)(2)(B) of the Code.
The Seller shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property
as soon as possible and shall sell such REO Property in any event within two
years after title has been taken to such REO Property, unless the Seller
determines, and gives an appropriate notice to the Purchaser to such effect,
that a longer period is necessary for the orderly liquidation of such REO
Property. If a period longer than two years is permitted under the foregoing
sentence and is necessary to sell any REO Property, (i) the Seller shall report
monthly to the Purchaser as to the progress being made in selling such REO
Property and (ii) if, with the written consent of the Purchaser, a purchase
money mortgage is taken in connection with such sale, such purchase money
mortgage shall name the Seller as mortgagee, and such purchase money mortgage
shall not be held pursuant to this Agreement, but instead a separate
participation agreement among the Seller and Purchaser shall be entered into
with respect to such purchase money mortgage.
The Seller shall also maintain on each REO Property fire and hazard
insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the
maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property,
liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the National
Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, flood insurance in the amount required
in Section 2.10 hereof.
Each REO disposition shall be carried out by the Seller at such
price and upon such terms and conditions as the Seller reasonably determines to
be in the best interest of the Purchaser and provided the sales price and the
related terms and conditions are results of arm's-length negotiation. No REO
disposition shall be effected without the prior written consent of the
Purchaser. The proceeds of sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited
in the Custodial Account. As soon as practical thereafter the expenses of such
sale shall be paid and the Seller shall reimburse itself pursuant to Section
2.05 (ii) hereof, for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, unpaid
Servicing Fees and unreimbursed advances made pursuant to this Section, and on
the Remittance Date immediately following the Principal Prepayment Period in
which such sale proceeds are received, the net cash proceeds of such sale
remaining in the Custodial Account shall be distributed to the Purchaser;
provided that such distribution shall, in any event, be made within ninety (90)
days from and after the closing of the sale of such REO Property.
In addition to the Seller's obligations set forth in this Section
2.15, the Seller shall deliver written notice to the Purchaser whenever title to
any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of
foreclosure together with a copy of the drive-by appraisal of the related
Mortgaged Property obtained by the Seller on or prior to the date of such
acquisition.
With respect to each REO Property, the Seller shall hold all funds
collected and received in connection with the operation of the REO Property in
the Custodial Account. The Seller shall cause to be deposited on a daily basis
upon the receipt thereof in each Custodial Account all revenues received with
respect to the conservation and disposition of the related REO Property.
Section 2.16 Permitted Withdrawals with Respect to REO Property.
For so long as the Seller is acting as servicer of any Mortgage Loan
relating to any REO Property, the Seller shall withdraw funds on deposit in the
Custodial Account with respect to each related REO Property necessary for the
proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property, including the
cost of maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to Section 2.10 and the fees
of any managing agent acting on behalf of the Seller. The Seller shall make
monthly distributions on each Remittance Date to the Purchaser of the net cash
flow from the REO Property (which shall equal the revenues from such REO
Property net of the expenses described in Section 2.15 and of any reserves
reasonably required from time to time to be maintained to satisfy anticipated
liabilities for such expenses).
Section 2.17 Real Estate Owned Reports.
For so long as the Seller is acting as servicer of any Mortgage Loan
relating to any REO Property, the Seller shall furnish to the Purchaser on or
before the 15th Business Day of each month a statement in the form of Exhibit 6
hereto with respect to any REO Property covering the operation of such REO
Property for the previous month and the Seller's efforts in connection with the
sale of such REO Property and any rental of such REO Property incidental to the
sale thereof for the previous month. That statement shall be accompanied by such
other information as the Purchaser shall reasonably request.
Section 2.18 Liquidation Reports.
For so long as the Seller is acting as servicer of any Mortgage Loan
relating to any REO Property, upon the foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged
Property or the acquisition thereof by the Purchaser pursuant to a deed in lieu
of foreclosure, the Seller shall submit to the Purchaser a liquidation report in
the form of Exhibit 7 hereto with respect to such Mortgaged Property.
Section 2.19 Reports of Foreclosures and Abandonments of Mortgaged
Property.
For so long as the Seller is acting as servicer of any Mortgage Loan
relating to any REO Property, following the foreclosure sale or abandonment of
any Mortgaged Property, the Seller shall report such foreclosure or abandonment
as required pursuant to Section 6050J of the Code or any successor provision
thereof.
Section 2.20 Notification of Adjustments.
With respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall
adjust the Mortgage Interest Rate on the related Interest Rate Adjustment Date
and shall adjust the Monthly Payment accordingly in compliance with the
requirements of applicable law and the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note. If,
pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Note, another index is selected for
determining the Mortgage Interest Rate, the same index will be used with respect
to each Mortgage Note which requires a new index to be selected, provided that
such selection does not conflict with the terms of the related Mortgage Note.
The Seller shall execute and deliver any and all necessary notices required
under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage
regarding the Mortgage Interest Rate and the Monthly Payment adjustments. The
Seller shall promptly upon written request thereof, deliver to the Purchaser
such notifications and any additional applicable data regarding such adjustments
and the methods used to calculate and implement such adjustments. Upon the
discovery by the Seller, or any Purchaser that the Seller has failed to adjust a
Mortgage Interest Rate or a Monthly Payment pursuant to the terms of the related
Mortgage Note and Mortgage, the Seller shall immediately deposit in the
Custodial Account from its own funds the amount of any interest loss caused the
Purchaser thereby.
Section 2.21 Maintenance of PMI Policy; Claims.
With respect to each Mortgage Loan with a LTV in excess of 80%, the
Seller shall, without any cost to the Purchaser, maintain or cause the Mortgagor
to maintain in full force and effect a PMI Policy insuring that portion of the
Mortgage Loan in excess of 75% of value, and shall pay or shall cause the
Mortgagor to pay the premium thereon on a timely basis, until the LTV of such
Mortgage Loan is reduced to 80%. In the event that such PMI Policy shall be
terminated, the Seller shall obtain from another Qualified Insurer a comparable
replacement policy, with a total coverage equal to the remaining coverage of
such terminated PMI Policy. If the insurer shall cease to be a Qualified
Insurer, the Seller shall determine whether recoveries under the PMI Policy are
jeopardized for reasons related to the financial condition of such insurer, it
being understood that the Seller shall in no event have any responsibility or
liability for any failure to recover under the PMI Policy for such reason. If
the Seller determines that recoveries are so jeopardized, it shall notify the
Purchaser and the Mortgagor, if required, and obtain from another Qualified
Insurer a replacement insurance policy. The Seller shall not take any action
which would result in noncoverage under any applicable PMI Policy of any loss
which, but for the actions of the Seller, would have been covered thereunder. In
connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be
entered into pursuant to Section 4.01, the Seller shall promptly notify the
insurer under the related PMI Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution
of liability in accordance with the terms of such PMI Policy and shall take all
actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation
of coverage under such PMI Policy. If such PMI Policy is terminated as a result
of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Seller shall obtain a
replacement PMI Policy as provided above.
In connection with its activities as servicer, the Seller agrees to
prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, claims to the
insurer under any PMI Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of
such PMI Policy and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary
to permit recovery under any PMI Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan.
Pursuant to Section 2.04, any amounts collected by the Seller under any PMI
Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal
pursuant to Section 2.05.

which the Remittance Date occurs, except Principal Prepayments received on or
after the second day of the month in which the Remittance Date occurs which
shall be remitted to the Purchaser on the next following Remittance Date,
together with an amount representing compensating interest which, when added to

plus three percentage points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount
permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be deposited in the Custodial
Account by the Seller on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the
period commencing with the day following such second Business Day and ending
with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. Such
interest shall be remitted along with the distribution payable on the next

remittance allocable to principal (including a separate breakdown of any
Principal Prepayment, including the date of such prepayment, along with a
detailed report of interest on principal prepayment amounts remitted in

In addition, not more than 60 days after the end of each calendar

Purchaser of the Mortgage Loans at any time during such calendar year an annual
statement in accordance with the requirements of applicable federal income tax
law as to the aggregate of remittances for the applicable portion of such year.
Such obligation of the Seller shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the
extent that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Seller
pursuant to any requirements of the Internal Revenue Code as from time to time
are in force.
The Seller shall prepare and file any and all tax returns,
information statements or other filings for the previous tax year and subsequent

available to the Seller.

On the Business Day immediately preceding each Remittance Date, the
Seller shall deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds an amount equal
to all Monthly Payments which were due on the Mortgage Loans during the
applicable Due Period and which were delinquent at the close of business on the
immediately preceding Determination Date or which were deferred pursuant to
Section 2.01. The Seller's obligation to make such advances as to any Mortgage
Loan will continue through the date of foreclosure sale or sale of any property
acquired through foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, whichever is
later with respect to each of the Mortgage Loans or until the Seller deems such
an advance to be nonrecoverable. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Seller
shall be entitled to first priority reimbursement pursuant to Section 2.05
hereof for principal and interest advances and for Servicing Advances from
recoveries from the related Mortgagor or from all Liquidation Proceeds and other
payments or recoveries (including Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds)
with respect to the related Mortgage Loan.
ARTICLE IV
GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES
Section 4.01 Transfers of Mortgaged Property.
Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Seller shall be required
to enforce any "due-on-sale" provision contained in any Mortgage or Mortgage
Note and to deny assumption by the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has
been or is about to be sold whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of
sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains liable on the Mortgage or the
Mortgage Note. When the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed by the Mortgagor,
the Seller shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance, exercise
its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the
"due-on-sale" clause applicable thereto, provided, however, that the Seller
shall not exercise such rights if prohibited by law from doing so or if the
exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under
the related PMI Policy, if any.
If the Seller reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law
to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause, the Seller will enter into an assumption
agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged 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. Where an assumption is allowed pursuant to
this Section 4.01, the Seller, with the prior written consent of the primary
mortgage insurer, if any, and to the extent required by the applicable insurance
agreement, is authorized to prepare substitution of liability agreement and any
other document required in connection therewith to be entered into by the
Purchaser and the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is
to be proposed to be conveyed pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is
released from liability and such Person is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes
liable under the related Mortgage Note. Any such substitution of liability
agreement shall be in lieu of an assumption agreement. If an assumption fee is
collected by the Seller for entering into an assumption agreement, a portion of
such fee, up to an amount equal to one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the
outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, will be retained by
the Seller as additional servicing compensation, and any portion thereof in
excess of one-half of one percent (0.5%) shall be deposited in the Custodial
Account for the benefit of the Purchaser. In connection with any such
assumption, neither the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage
Note, the term of the Mortgage Loan nor the outstanding principal amount of the
Mortgage Loan shall be changed.
To the extent that any Mortgage Loan is assumable, the Seller shall
inquire diligently into the creditworthiness of the proposed transferee, and
shall use the Underwriting Guidelines for approving the credit of the proposed
transferee which are used by the Seller with respect to underwriting mortgage
loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loans. If the credit of the proposed
transferee does not meet such Underwriting Guidelines, the Seller diligently
shall, to the extent permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by
applicable law, accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan.
Section 4.02 Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage
Files.
Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the
Seller of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner
customary for such purposes, the Seller shall notify the Purchaser in the
Monthly Remittance Advice as provided in Section 3.02, and may request the
release of any Mortgage Loan Documents from the Purchaser in accordance with
this Section 4.02 hereof. Such Mortgage Note shall be held by the Seller, in
trust, for the purpose of canceling such Mortgage Note and delivering the
cancelled Mortgage Note to the Mortgagor in a timely manner as and to the extent
provided under applicable state law. If the Mortgage has been recorded in the
name of MERS or its designee, the Seller shall take all necessary action to
effect the release of the Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS.
If the Seller satisfies or releases a Mortgage without first having
obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should
the Seller otherwise prejudice any rights the Purchaser may have under the
mortgage instruments, upon written demand of the Purchaser, the Seller shall
purchase the related Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price by deposit thereof in
the Custodial Account within 2 Business Days of receipt of such demand by the
Purchaser. The Seller shall maintain a Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions
Insurance Policy as provided for in Section 2.12 insuring the Seller against any
loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in
accordance with the procedures set forth herein.
Section 4.03 Servicing Compensation.
As consideration for servicing the Mortgage Loans hereunder, the
Seller shall withdraw the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan from
the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 2.05 hereof. Such Servicing Fee shall
be payable monthly, computed on the basis of the number of Mortgage Loans
subject to this Agreement. The Servicing Fee shall be pro-rated when servicing
is for less than one month. The obligation of the Purchaser to pay, and the
Seller's right to withdraw, the Servicing Fee is limited to, and the Servicing
Fee is payable solely from, the interest portion of such Monthly Payment
collected by the Seller, or as otherwise provided under Section 2.05. The Seller
recognizes that to the extent it does not recover all accrued but unpaid
Servicing Fees under Section 4.03, the Purchaser shall not have any liability
with respect to such shortfalls.
Additional servicing compensation in the form of Ancillary Income
shall be retained by the Seller to the extent not required to be deposited in
the Custodial Account. The Seller shall be required to pay all expenses incurred
by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be
entitled to reimbursement thereof except as specifically provided for herein.
Section 4.04 Annual Statement as to Compliance.
To the extent not required by Section 13.04 hereof, the Seller shall
deliver to the Purchaser, (a) on or before March 10th each year beginning March
10, 2007, an Officer's Certificate, stating that (i) a review of the activities
of the Seller during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this
Agreement has been made under such officer's supervision, and (ii) the Seller
has complied fully with the provisions of Article II and Article IV and to the
best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the Seller has fulfilled
all its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has
been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such
default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof and the action
being taken by the Seller to cure such default.
Section 4.05 Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing
Report.
To the extent not required by Section 13.05 hereof, as long as any
Mortgage Loans are being serviced hereunder, or were serviced during the prior
calendar year on or before March 10th of each year beginning March 10, 2007, the
Seller, at its expense, shall cause a firm of independent public accountants
which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to
furnish a statement to the Purchaser to the effect that such firm has examined
certain documents and records relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans
and this Agreement and that such firm is of the opinion that the provisions of
Article II and Article III have been complied with, and that, on the basis of
such examination conducted substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single
Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, nothing has come to their attention
which would indicate that such servicing has not been conducted in compliance
therewith, except for such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be
immaterial.
Section 4.06 Right to Examine Seller Records.
The Purchaser shall have the right to examine and audit any and all
of the books, records, or other information of the Seller, whether held by the
Seller or by another on its behalf, with respect to or concerning this Agreement
or the Mortgage Loans, during business hours or at such other times as may be
reasonable under applicable circumstances, upon reasonable advance notice.
Section 4.07 Compliance with Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act of 1999.
With respect to each Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgagor, the
Seller shall comply with Title V of the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act of 1999 and all
applicable regulations promulgated thereunder, and shall provide all notices
required thereunder.
Section 4.08 Credit Reporting.
The Seller shall fully furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit
Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete
information (e.g., favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower credit files to
Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information Company (three of the
credit repositories), on a monthly basis. Additionally, the Seller will transmit
full-file credit reporting data for each Mortgage Loan pursuant to Xxxxxx Xxx
Guide Announcement 95-19 and that for each Mortgage Loan, the Seller agrees it
shall report one of the following statuses each month as follows: new
origination, current, delinquent (30-, 60-, 90-days, etc.), foreclosed, or
charged-off.
Section 4.09 Subservicing. The Seller shall not hire or otherwise
utilize a subservicer hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Purchaser and its designee. Any such subservicer must agree in writing to comply
with Sections 4.04, 4.05 and 12.12 (regarding the provision of Servicer
Information).
ARTICLE V
SELLER TO COOPERATE
Section 5.01 Provision of Information.
During the term of this Agreement, the Seller shall furnish to the
Purchaser such periodic, special, or other reports or information, whether or

respect to the Purchaser or the purposes of this Agreement. All such reports or
information shall be provided by and in accordance with all reasonable
instructions and directions which the Purchaser may give.
The Seller shall execute and deliver all such instruments and take
all such action as the Purchaser may reasonably request from time to time, in
order to effectuate the purposes and to carry out the terms of this Agreement.
Section 5.02 Financial Statements; Servicing Facilities.
In connection with marketing the Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser may
make available to a prospective purchaser audited financial statements of the
corporate group that includes the Seller for the most recently completed five
fiscal years for which such statements are available, as well as a Consolidated
Statement of Condition at the end of the last two fiscal years covered by any
Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Seller also shall make available any
comparable interim statements to the extent any such statements have been
prepared by or on behalf of the corporate group that includes the Seller (and
are available upon request to members or stockholders of the corporate group
that includes the Seller or to the public at large). The Seller shall furnish
promptly to the Purchaser or a prospective purchaser copies of the statements
specified above.
The Seller shall make available to the Purchaser or any prospective
Purchaser a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of
answering questions respecting recent developments affecting the Seller or the
financial statements of the corporate group that includes the Seller, and to
permit any prospective purchaser to inspect the Seller's servicing facilities
for the purpose of satisfying such prospective purchaser that the Seller has the
ability to service the Mortgage Loans as provided in this Agreement.
ARTICLE VI

Should the Seller at any time during the term of this Agreement have
its right to service temporarily or permanently suspended by Xxxxxx Mae or
Xxxxxxx Mac or otherwise cease to be an approved servicer of conventional
residential mortgage loans for Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, then the Purchaser may
immediately terminate this Agreement and accelerate performance of the
provisions of the Purchase Agreement to require immediate transfer of the
Servicing Rights.
Section 6.02 Damages.
The Purchaser shall have the right at any time to seek and recover
from the Seller any damages or losses suffered by it as a result of any failure

said notice from the Purchaser within which to effect the related transfer of
servicing. Any such notice of termination shall be in writing and delivered to
the Seller as provided in Section 12.01 of this Agreement. In the event of such

ARTICLE VII
BOOKS AND RECORDS
Section 7.01 Possession of Servicing Files.
The contents of each Servicing File are and shall be held in trust
by the Seller for the benefit of the Purchaser as the owner thereof. The Seller
shall maintain in the Servicing File a copy of the contents of each Mortgage
File and the originals of the documents in each Mortgage File not delivered to
the Purchaser. The possession of the Servicing File by the Seller is at the will
of the Purchaser for the sole purpose of servicing the related Mortgage Loan,
pursuant to this Agreement, and such retention and possession by the Seller is
in its capacity as Servicer only and at the election of the Purchaser. The

ARTICLE VIII
INDEMNIFICATION AND ASSIGNMENT
Section 8.01 Indemnification.
The Seller agrees to indemnify and hold the Purchaser and any
successor servicer and their respective present and former directors, officers,
employees and agents harmless from any and all claims, losses, damages,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses (including, without
limitation, any legal fees and expenses, judgments or expenses relating to such
liability, claim, loss or damage) and related costs, judgments, and any other
costs, fees and expenses that such parties may sustain in any way related to the
Seller's failure:
(a) to observe and perform any or all of Seller's duties,
obligations, covenants, agreements, warranties or representations contained in
this Agreement; including without limitation, Sections 4.04, 4.05 and 4.09; or
(b) to comply with all applicable requirements contained in this
Agreement with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loan and the transfer of
Servicing Rights.
The indemnification rights set forth in this Section 8.01 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.
The Seller immediately shall notify the Purchaser if a claim is made
by a third party with respect to this Agreement. For purposes of this Section,
"Purchaser" shall mean the Person then acting as the Purchaser under this
Agreement and any and all Persons who previously were "Purchasers" under this
Agreement.
Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
8.01 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will,
if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under
this Section 8.01, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement
thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve
the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified
party under this Section 8.01, except to the extent that it has been prejudiced
in any material respect, or from any liability which it may have, otherwise than
under this Section 8.01. In case any such action is brought against any
indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein, and to
the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified
party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party,
to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
indemnified party; provided that if the defendants in any such action include
both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party
or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses
available to it or them and/or other indemnified parties which are different
from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified
party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such
legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on
behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the
indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the
defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the
indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party for expenses
incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless
(i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in connection
with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the next
preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party
shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (together
with one local counsel, if applicable)), (ii) the indemnifying party shall not
have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to
represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of
commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized in
writing the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of
the indemnifying party; and except that, if clause (i) or (iii) is applicable,
such liability shall be only in respect of the counsel referred to in such
clause (i) or (iii).
Section 8.02 Limitation on Liability of Seller and Others.
Neither the Seller nor any of the directors, officers, employees or
agents of the Seller shall be under any liability to the Purchaser for any
action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith
pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment, provided, however, that
this provision shall not protect the Seller or any such person against any
breach of warranties or representations made herein, its own negligent actions,
or failure to perform its obligations in strict compliance with any standard of
care set forth in this Agreement, or any liability which would otherwise be
imposed by reason of any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
The Seller and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Seller may rely
in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and
submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Seller
shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal
action which is not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans in
accordance with this Agreement and which in its opinion may involve it in any
expense or liability, provided, however, that the Seller may, with the prior
written consent of the Purchaser, undertake any such action which it may deem
necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of
the parties hereto. In such event, the Seller shall be entitled to reimbursement
from the Purchaser of the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action.
Section 8.03 Limitation on Resignation and Assignment by Seller.
The Purchaser has entered into this Agreement with the Seller and
subsequent purchasers will purchase the Mortgage Loans in reliance upon the
independent status of the Seller, and the representations as to the adequacy of
its servicing facilities, plant, personnel, records and procedures, its
integrity, reputation and financial standing, and the continuance thereof.
Therefore, the Seller shall not assign this Agreement or the servicing hereunder
or delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion hereof or sell or
otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets without
the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld by the Purchaser.
The Seller shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby
imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Seller and the Purchaser or upon
the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under
applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Seller. Any such
determination permitting the resignation of the Seller shall be evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Purchaser which Opinion of
Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Purchaser. No such
resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the
Seller's responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in
Section 8.06.
Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 8.03, in
the event that the Seller either shall assign this Agreement or the servicing
responsibilities hereunder or delegate its duties hereunder, except as provided
for herein, or any portion thereof or sell or otherwise dispose of all or
substantially all of its property or assets, without the prior written consent
of the Purchaser, then the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement upon notice given as set forth in Section 6.04, without any payment of
any penalty or damages and without any liability whatsoever to the Seller or any
third party.
Section 8.04 Assignment by Purchaser.
The Purchaser shall have the right, without the consent of the
Seller, to assign, in whole or in part, its interest under this Agreement with
respect to some or all of the Mortgage Loans, and designate any person to
exercise any rights of the Purchaser hereunder. There shall be no limitation on
the number of assignments or transfers allowable by the Purchaser with respect
to the Mortgage Loans and this Agreement. In the event the Purchaser assigns
this Agreement, and the assignee assumes any of the Purchaser's obligations
hereunder, the Seller acknowledges and agrees to look solely to such assignee,
and not to the Purchaser, for performance of the obligations so assumed and the
Purchaser shall be relieved from any liability to the Seller with respect
thereto. All references to the Purchaser in this Agreement shall be deemed to
include its assignee or designee with respect to such Mortgage Loans.
Section 8.05 Merger or Consolidation of the Seller.
The Seller will keep in full effect its existence, rights and
franchises as a corporation under the laws of the state of its incorporation
except as permitted herein, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do
business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform
its duties under this Agreement. Any Person into which the Seller may be merged
or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Seller shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to
the business of the Seller, shall be the successor of the Seller 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 shall be an
institution whose deposits are insured by FDIC or a company whose business
includes the servicing of mortgage loans and shall have a tangible net worth not
less than $30,000,000.
Section 8.06. Successor to the Seller.
Prior to termination of Seller's responsibilities and duties under
this Agreement pursuant to Sections 2.15, 6.04, 8.03 or 11.01, the Purchaser
shall (i) succeed to and assume all of the Seller's responsibilities, rights,
duties and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) appoint a successor having
a tangible net worth of not less than $30,000,000 and which shall succeed to all
rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the
Seller under this Agreement prior to the termination of Seller's
responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement. Any successor to
the Seller shall be a Xxxxxx Xxx- or Xxxxxxx Mac-approved servicer in good
standing. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Purchaser may
make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on
Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree. In the event that the
Seller's duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should be
terminated pursuant to the aforementioned sections, the Seller shall discharge
such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires
knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same
degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this
Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice
the rights or financial condition of its successor. The resignation or removal
of Seller pursuant to the aforementioned Sections shall not become effective
until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to Article X hereof this Section
and shall in no event relieve the Seller of the representations, warranties and
covenants made pursuant to and the remedies available to the Purchaser with
respect thereto, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such
Article X shall be applicable to the Seller notwithstanding any such resignation
or termination of the Seller, or the termination of this Agreement.
Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Seller and to the Purchaser, an instrument
accepting such appointment, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested
with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and
liabilities of the Seller, with like effect as if originally named as a party to
this Agreement and the Custodial Agreement. Any termination of this Agreement
pursuant to Section 2.15, 6.04, 8.03 or 11.01 shall not affect any claims that
the Purchaser may have against the Seller arising prior to any such termination
or resignation.
The Seller shall timely deliver to the successor the funds in the
Custodial Account and the Escrow Account and the Mortgage Files and related
documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Seller shall account for
all funds. The Seller shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such
other things all as may reasonably be required to more fully and definitely vest
and confirm in the successor all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities,
obligations and liabilities of the Seller. The successor shall make arrangements
as it may deem appropriate to reimburse the Seller for amounts the Seller
actually expended pursuant to this Agreement which the successor is entitled to
retain hereunder and which would otherwise have been recovered by the Seller
pursuant to this Agreement but for the appointment of the successor servicer.

(h) the Seller fails to maintain its license to do business or

In each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall

at law or equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific
performance, the Purchaser, by notice in writing to the Seller, may terminate
without compensation all the rights and obligations of the Seller under this
Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof.
Upon receipt by the Seller of such written notice, all authority and
power of the Seller under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage
Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor appointed
pursuant to Section 8.06. Upon written request from the Purchaser, the Seller
shall prepare, execute and deliver any and all documents and other instruments,
place in such successor's possession all Mortgage Files, and do or accomplish
all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such
notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or
assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise, at the
Seller's sole expense. The Seller agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser and
such successor in effecting the termination of the Seller's responsibilities and

this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default
or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

and to the list of such Mortgagors and data relating to their Mortgages
(including insurance renewal dates) shall be transferred to the Purchaser

understood and agreed that promotions undertaken by the Seller or any affiliate

The Seller and the Purchaser agree that with respect to some or all
of the Mortgage Loans, after the related Closing Date, on one or more dates
(each, a "Reconstitution Date") at the Purchaser's sole option, the Purchaser
may effect a sale (each, a "Reconstitution") of some or all of the Mortgage
Loans then subject to this Agreement, without recourse, to:
(a) Xxxxxx Mae under its Cash Purchase Program or MBS Program
(Special Servicing Option) (each, a "Xxxxxx Xxx Transfer"); or
(b) Xxxxxxx Mac (the "Xxxxxxx Mac Transfer"); or
(c) one or more third party purchasers in one or more Whole Loan
Transfers; or
(d) one or more trusts or other entities to be formed as part of one
or more Securitization Transactions.
The Seller agrees to execute (i) in connection with any Agency

acceptable to the Seller among the Purchaser, the Seller, Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx
Mac (as the case may be) and any servicer, (ii) in connection with a Whole Loan
Transfer, a seller's warranties and servicing agreement or a participation and
servicing agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the parties,
and (iii) in connection with a Securitization Transaction, a pooling and
servicing agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the parties
(collectively, the agreements referred to herein are designated, the
"Reconstitution Agreements").
With respect to each Whole Loan Transfer and each Securitization
Transaction entered into by the Purchaser, the Seller agrees (1) to cooperate
fully with the Purchaser and any prospective purchaser with respect to all
reasonable requests and due diligence procedures; (2) to execute, deliver and
perform all Reconstitution Agreements required by the Purchaser; (3) to restate
the representations and warranties set forth in Article X as of the
Reconstitution Date or make the representations and warranties set forth in the

"scheduled/scheduled" basis; (5) to pay compensating interest on any Principal
Prepayment in an amount necessary to provide for thirty (30) days of interest on
the related Principal Prepayment; and (6) to make principal and interest
advances on the Mortgage Loans through the termination of foreclosure. In that
connection, the Seller shall provide to such master servicer or issuer, as the
case may be, and any other participants or purchasers in such Reconstitution:
(i) any and all information and appropriate verification of information which
may be reasonably available to the Seller or its affiliates, whether through
letters of its auditors and counsel or otherwise, as the Purchaser or any such
other participant shall request; (ii) such additional representations,
warranties, covenants, opinions of counsel, letters from auditors, and
certificates of public officials or officers of the Seller as are reasonably
believed necessary by the Purchaser or any such other participant; and (iii) to
execute, deliver and satisfy all conditions set forth in any indemnity agreement
required by the Purchaser or any such participant, including, without
limitation, an Indemnification and Contribution Agreement in substantially the
form attached hereto as Exhibit 9. Moreover, the Seller agrees to cooperate with
all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser to effect such Reconstitution
Agreements. The Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser, each affiliate of the
Purchaser and each underwriter as placement agent participating in the
Reconstitution and each Person who controls the Purchaser or such affiliate and
their respective present and former directors, officers, employees and agents,
and hold each of them harmless from and against any losses, damages, penalties,
fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments, and
any other costs, fees and expenses that each of them may sustain arising out of
or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in the information provided by or on behalf of the Seller
regarding the Seller, the Seller's servicing practices or performance or the
Mortgage Loans set forth in any offering document prepared in connection with
any Reconstitution. For purposes of the previous sentence, "Purchaser" shall
mean the Person then acting as the Purchaser under this Agreement and any and
all Persons who previously were "Purchasers" under this Agreement.
In the event the Purchaser has elected to have the Seller hold
record title to the Mortgages, prior to the Reconstitution Date, the Seller
shall prepare an assignment of mortgage in blank or to the prospective purchaser
or trustee, as applicable, from the Seller acceptable to the prospective
purchaser or trustee, as applicable, for each Mortgage Loan that is part of the
Reconstitution and shall pay all preparation and recording costs associated
therewith. In connection with the Reconstitution, the Seller shall execute or
shall cause the Seller to execute each Assignment of Mortgage, track such
Assignments of Mortgage to ensure they have been recorded and deliver them as
required by the prospective purchaser or trustee, as applicable, upon the
Seller's receipt thereof. Additionally, the Seller shall prepare and execute or
shall cause the Seller to execute, at the direction of the Purchaser, any note
endorsement in connection with any and all seller/servicer agreements.
To the extent not required by Section 13.05 hereof, with respect to
any Mortgage Loans sold in a Securitization Transaction where the Seller is the
servicer, the Seller agrees that on or before March 10th of each year beginning
March 10, 2007, the Servicer shall deliver to the depositor, the master servicer
(if any) and the trustee for the securitization trust in the Securitization
Transaction, and their officers, directors and affiliates, a certification in
the form attached as Exhibit 11 hereto, executed by the senior officer in charge
of servicing at the Seller for use in connection with any Form 10-K to be filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the securitization
trust. The Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the depositor, the master
servicer (if any) and the trustee, and their respective officers, directors and
affiliates, from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments and other costs and
expenses arising out of or based upon any breach of the Seller's obligations
under this paragraph or any material misstatement or omission, negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct of the Seller in connection therewith. If the
indemnification provided for in the preceding sentence is unavailable or
insufficient to hold harmless any indemnified party, then the Seller agrees that
it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of such indemnified party
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such
indemnified party, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other, in connection
with a breach of the Seller's obligations under this paragraph or any material
misstatement or omission, negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the
Seller in connection therewith.
All Mortgage Loans not sold or transferred pursuant to a
Reconstitution shall remain subject to this Agreement and, if this Agreement
shall remain in effect with respect to the related Mortgage Loan Package, shall
continue to be serviced in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the
Purchase Agreement and with respect thereto this Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect.

that required under the Securities Act). The Seller acknowledges that
interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time,
whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff,

counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with reasonable requests made by the
Purchaser or any Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these
provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In
connection with any Securitization Transaction, the Seller shall cooperate fully
with the Purchaser to deliver to the Purchaser (including any of its assignees
or designees) and any Depositor, any and all statements, reports,
certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith
determination of the Purchaser or any Depositor to permit the Purchaser or such
Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such
disclosures relating to the Seller any Subservicer and the Mortgage Loans, or

terminate the rights and obligations of the Seller pursuant to this subparagraph

party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its
election to assume the defense of such claim or action, except as provided in
the following paragraph, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the
indemnified party under this Section 1 for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.
Any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the
fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified
party unless: (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the
indemnifying party in writing; (ii) such indemnified party shall have been
advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available
to it which are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party and in the reasonable judgment of such counsel it is
necessary or appropriate for such indemnified party to employ separate counsel;
or (iii) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such action
and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, in which
case, if such indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that
it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party,
the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such
action on behalf of such indemnified party, it being understood, however, the
indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate
but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising
out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the
reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in
addition to local counsel) at any time for all such indemnified parties.
Each indemnified party, as a condition of the indemnity agreements
contained in this Section 1, shall cooperate with the indemnifying party in the
defense of any such action or claim. No indemnifying party shall be liable for
any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with its written
consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action,
the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified
party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or
judgment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an
indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the
indemnified party for reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, the indemnifying
party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding
effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more
than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request
and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party
in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1 is
unavailable to an indemnified party, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of
indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault
of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, respectively, in connection
with the statements or omissions that result in such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative fault of the indemnified party and indemnifying party shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state
a material fact relates to information supplied by such parties and their
relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such statement or omission and any other equitable considerations.
(e) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this
Section 1 and the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2 shall
remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination
of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by the Depositor, Barclays, the
Underwriter[s], their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees or
