STRUCTURED ASSET SECURITIES CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, as depositor
(the “Depositor”), AURORA LOAN SERVICES LLC, as Master Servicer (the “Master
Servicer”), and U.S.
BANK
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION,
as
trustee (the “Trustee”).
PRELIMINARY
STATEMENT
The
Depositor has acquired the Mortgage Loans from Xxxxxx Brothers Holdings
Inc.
(the “Seller”) and at the Closing Date is the owner of the Mortgage Loans and
the other property being conveyed by it to the Trustee for inclusion in
the
Trust Fund. On the Closing Date, the Depositor will acquire the Certificates
from the Trust Fund, as consideration for its transfer to the Trust Fund
of the
Mortgage Loans and the other property constituting the Trust Fund. The
Depositor
has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Agreement to provide
for
the conveyance to the Trustee of the Mortgage Loans and the other property
constituting the Trust Fund. All covenants and agreements made by the Depositor,
the Master Servicer and the Trustee herein with respect to the Mortgage
Loans
and the other property constituting the Trust Fund are for the benefit
of the
Holders from time to time of the Certificates. The Depositor and the Master
Servicer are entering into this Agreement, and the Trustee is accepting
the
Trust Fund created hereby, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged.
As
provided herein, the Trustee shall elect that the Trust Fund (excluding
the
Supplemental Interest Trust, the Supplemental Prepayment Trust, any Cap
Agreement, any Basis Risk Reserve Fund and any EPD Premiums) be treated
for
federal income tax purposes as comprising four real estate mortgage investment
conduits (each a “REMIC” or, in the alternative, REMIC I, REMIC IIA, REMIC IIB
and REMIC III (the “Upper Tier REMIC”)). Each Underlying REMIC Certificate and
each Certificate (other than the Exchange and Exchangeable Certificates,
the
Class X, Class LT-R and Class R Certificates, the
Class P Components of the Class 1-A9 and Class 1-A10 Certificates, and
exclusive of the right to receive any FPD Premiums in the case of the Class
1-A5
Certificates) represents ownership of one or more regular interests in
REMIC III
for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The Class LT-R Certificate represents
ownership of the sole class of residual interest in REMIC I for purposes
of the
REMIC Provisions. The Class R Certificate represents ownership of the sole
class
of residual interest in each remaining REMIC for purposes of the REMIC
Provisions.
The
Upper
Tier REMIC shall hold as its assets the several Classes of uncertificated
Lower
Tier Interests in REMIC IIB, other than the Class R-2B Interest, and each
such
Lower Tier Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC
IIB.
REMIC IIB shall hold as its assets the several Classes of uncertificated
Lower
Tier Interests in REMIC IIA, other than the Class R-2A Interest, and each
such
Lower Tier Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC
IIA.
REMIC IIA shall hold as its assets the several Classes of uncertificated
Lower
Tier Interests in REMIC I, and each such Lower Tier Interest is hereby
designated as a regular interest in REMIC I. REMIC I shall hold as its
assets
the property of the Trust Fund other than the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC
I,
REMIC IIA and REMIC IIB.
The
startup day for each REMIC created hereby for purposes of the REMIC Provisions
is the Closing Date. In addition, for purposes of the REMIC Provisions,
the
latest possible maturity date for each regular interest in each REMIC created
hereby is the later (or latest) date provided in the definition of Latest
Possible Maturity Date.
REMIC
I:
REMIC
I
shall issue one uncertificated interest in respect of each Mortgage Loan
held by
the Trust on the Closing Date, each of which is hereby designated as a
regular
interest in REMIC I (the “REMIC I Regular Interests”). Each REMIC I Regular
Interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to the Scheduled
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan to which it relates and shall bear
interest at a per annum rate equal to the Net Mortgage Rate of such Mortgage
Loan. In the event a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan is substituted
for such
Mortgage Loan (the “Original Mortgage Loan”), no amount of interest payable on
such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be distributed on such REMIC
I
Regular Interest at a rate in excess of the Net Mortgage Rate of the Original
Mortgage Loan.
On
each
Distribution Date the Trustee shall distribute the interest portion of
the
Available Distribution Amount (net of expenses described in the preceding
paragraph) with respect to each of the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC I
based on
the above-described interest rates.
On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the principal portion of
the
Available Distribution Amount among the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC I
in
accordance with the amount of the principal attributable to the Mortgage
Loan
corresponding to each such Lower Tier Interests in REMIC I. All losses
on the
Mortgage Loans shall be allocated among the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC
I in
the same manner that principal distributions are allocated.
On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall first pay or charge as an expense
of REMIC
I all expenses of the Trust Fund for such Distribution Date.
REMIC
IIA
REMIC
IIA
shall hold as assets the REMIC I Regular Interests. REMIC IIA shall issue
the
several classes of uncertificated REMIC IIA Interests set out below. Each
such
REMIC IIA Interest, other than the Class R-2A Interest, is hereby designated
as
a regular interest in REMIC IIA. The following table specifies the Class
designation, interest rate, and principal amount for each Class of REMIC

the weighted
average of the Net Mortgage Rates of the AX Mortgage Loans over
(ii)
6.00%.
|
(3)
|
The
interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the
related
Accrual Period) for the LTII-1-Pool Interest and the LTII-1-GSA
Interest
will be a per annum rate equal to the Designated Rate for Collateral
Group

|
Each
of these interests shall have an initial principal amount equal
to 1% of
the Group Subordinate Amount for the related Collateral Group
as of the
Cut-off Date.
|
(8)
|
Each
of these interests shall have any initial principal amount equal
to 99% of
the Group Subordinate Amount for the related Collateral Group
as of the
Cut-off Date.
|
On
each
Distribution Date, the portion of the Available Distribution Amount
distributable as interest shall be distributed as interest with respect
to the
REMIC IIA Interests based on the interest rates described above. On each
Distribution Date, Net Prepayment Shortfalls and Excess Losses sustained
with
respect to any Collateral Group are to be allocated among the Classes of
REMIC
IIA Interests related to such Collateral Group based on the relative amounts
of
interest otherwise accrued for the related Accrual Period on each such
REMIC IIA
Interest.
On
each
Distribution Date, the portion of the Available Distribution Amount
distributable as principal shall be distributed as principal on REMIC IIA
Interests as follows:
(1)
|
First,
to each of the Class LTII-AP Interest until the balance of such
Interest
equals that of the Class AP Certificate, respectively, immediately

Available Distribution Amount for Collateral Group 1 and Collateral
Group
2, the minimum amount necessary to cause the ratio of the principal
balance of each such REMIC IIA Interest to the principal balances
of the
other REMIC IIA Interest to equal the ratio of the Group Subordinate
Amount related to such REMIC IIA Interest to the Group Subordinate
Amount
related to the other REMIC IIA Interest immediately after such
Distribution Date;
|
(5)
|
Fifth,

and, concurrently with such receipt, has caused to be executed, authenticated

to exercise all rights of the Depositor under the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement
as if, for such purpose, it were the Depositor. The foregoing sale, transfer,

It
is
agreed and understood by the Depositor and the Trustee (and the Depositor

to
be true and complete copy of the original submitted for recording. If, in
connection with any Mortgage Loan, the Depositor cannot deliver the 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, the Depositor
shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee (or the applicable
Custodian), in the case of a delay due to recording, a true copy of such

Section
2.02. Acceptance
of Trust Fund by Trustee: Review of Documentation for Trust
Fund.
(a) The
Trustee, by execution and delivery hereof, acknowledges receipt by it or
a
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, of the Mortgage Files pertaining to the
Mortgage Loans listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, subject to review thereof
by the Trustee, or by the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee,
under
this Section 2.02. The Trustee, or the applicable Custodian on behalf of
the
Trustee, will execute and deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Servicers
and the Master Servicer on the Closing Date an Initial Certification in the
form
annexed hereto as Exhibit B-1 (or in the form annexed to the applicable
Custodial Agreement as Exhibit B-1, as applicable.
(b) Within
45
days after the Closing Date, the Trustee or the applicable Custodian will,
on
behalf of the Trustee and for the benefit of Holders of the Certificates,
review
each Mortgage File to ascertain that all required documents set forth in
Section
2.01 have been received and appear on their face to contain the requisite
signatures by or on behalf of the respective parties thereto, and shall deliver
to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Servicers and the Master Servicer an Interim
Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit B-2 (or in the form annexed
to the applicable Custodial Agreement as Exhibit B-2, as applicable to the
effect that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule
(other than any Mortgage Loan prepaid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically
identified in such certification as not covered by such certification), (i)
all
of the applicable documents specified in Section 2.01(b) are in its possession
and (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and appear to relate to
such
Mortgage Loan. The Trustee, or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee, shall make sure that the documents are executed and endorsed, but
shall
be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any such documents,
instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are
valid,
binding, legally effective, properly endorsed, genuine, enforceable or
appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded
or are in recordable form or that they are other than what they purport to
be on
their face. Neither the Trustee nor any Custodian shall have any responsibility
for verifying the genuineness or the legal effectiveness of or authority
for any
signatures of or on behalf of any party or endorser.
49
(c) If
in the
course of the review described in paragraph (b) above the Trustee or the
applicable Custodian discovers any document or documents constituting a part
of
a Mortgage File that is missing, does not appear regular on its face (i.e.,
is
mutilated, damaged, defaced, torn or otherwise physically altered) or appears
to
be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule
(each, a “Material Defect”), the Trustee, or the applicable Custodian on behalf
of the Trustee, shall promptly identify the Mortgage Loan to which such Material
Defect relates in the Interim Certification delivered to the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee. Within 90 days of its receipt of such notice,
the Transferor, or if the Transferor does not do so, the Depositor shall
be
required to cure such Material Defect (and, in such event, the Depositor
shall
provide the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate confirming that such cure has
been effected). If the applicable Transferor or the Depositor, as applicable,
does not so cure such Material Defect, it shall, if a loss has been incurred
with respect to such Mortgage Loan that would, if such Mortgage Loan were
not
purchased from the Trust Fund, constitute a Realized Loss, and such loss
is
attributable to the failure of the applicable Transferor or the Depositor
to
cure such Material Defect, repurchase the related Mortgage Loan from the
Trust
Fund at the Purchase Price. A loss shall be deemed to be attributable to
the
failure of the applicable Transferor or the Depositor to cure a Material
Defect
if, as determined by the Depositor, upon mutual agreement with the Master
Servicer acting in good faith, absent such Material Defect, such loss would
not
have been incurred. Within the two-year period following the Closing Date,
the
Depositor may, in lieu of repurchasing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section
2.02, substitute for such Mortgage Loan a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage
Loan
subject to the provisions of Section 2.05. The failure of the Trustee or
the
applicable Custodian to give the notice contemplated herein within 45 days
after
the Closing Date shall not affect or relieve the Depositor of its obligation
to
repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.02 or any other Section
of this Agreement requiring the repurchase of Mortgage Loans from the Trust
Fund.
(d) Within
180 days following the Closing Date, the Trustee, or the applicable Custodian,
shall deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Servicers and the Master
Servicer a Final Certification substantially in the form annexed hereto as
Exhibit B-3 (or in the form annexed to the applicable Custodial Agreement
as
Exhibit B-3, as applicable evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files
in
its possession or control, with any exceptions noted thereto.
(e) Nothing
in this Agreement shall be construed to constitute an assumption by the Trust
Fund, the Trustee or the Certificateholders of any unsatisfied duty, claim
or
other liability on any Mortgage Loan or to any Mortgagor.
50
(f) Each
of
the parties hereto acknowledges that each Custodian shall perform the applicable
review of the Mortgage Loans covered by its Custodial Agreement and deliver
the
respective certifications thereof as provided in this Section 2.02.
(g) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto acknowledge
that
the functions of the Trustee with respect to the custody, acceptance, inspection
and release of Mortgage Files, including but not limited to certain insurance
policies and documents contemplated by this Agreement or the Servicing
Agreement(s), and preparation and delivery of the certifications shall be
performed by the Custodians pursuant to the terms and conditions of the
Custodial Agreements.
(h) The
Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee, is hereby authorized and directed
by
the Depositor to execute and deliver, concurrently with the execution of
this
Agreement, the Custodial Agreements and Servicing Agreements.
Section
2.03. Representations
and Warranties of the Depositor.
(a) The
Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee, for the benefit
of
Certificateholders, and to the Master Servicer, as of the Closing Date or
such
other date as is specified, that:
(i) the
Depositor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws governing its creation and existence and has full corporate
power
and authority to own its property, to carry on its business as presently
conducted, to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement,
and
to create the trust pursuant hereto;
(ii) the
execution and delivery by the Depositor of this Agreement have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Depositor;
neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation
of
the transactions herein contemplated, nor compliance with the provisions
hereof,
will conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default under,
any
of the provisions of any law, governmental rule, regulation, judgment, decree
or
order binding on the Depositor or its properties or the certificate of
incorporation or bylaws of the Depositor;
(iii) the
execution, delivery and performance by the Depositor of this Agreement and
the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not require the consent
or approval of, the giving of notice to, the registration with, or the taking
of
any other action in respect of, any state, federal or other governmental
authority or agency, except such as has been obtained, given, effected or
taken
prior to the date hereof;
(iv) this
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Depositor and, assuming
due authorization, execution and delivery by the Trustee and the Master
Servicer, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Depositor
enforceable against it in accordance with its terms except as such
enforceability may be subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy and insolvency
laws
and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of the rights of creditors
generally and (B) general principles of equity regardless of whether such
enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;
51
(v) there
are
no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Depositor,
threatened or likely to be asserted against or affecting the Depositor, before
or by any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body (A)
with
respect to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (B)
with
respect to any other matter which in the judgment of the Depositor will be
determined adversely to the Depositor and will if determined adversely to
the
Depositor materially and adversely affect it or its business, assets, operations
or condition, financial or otherwise, or adversely affect its ability to
perform
its obligations under this Agreement; and
(vi) immediately
prior to the transfer and assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee,
the
Depositor was the sole owner of record and holder of each Mortgage Loan,
and the
Depositor had good and marketable title thereto, and had full right to transfer
and sell each Mortgage Loan to the Trustee free and clear, subject only to
(1)
liens of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable
and, if the related Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit, any lien for
common charges permitted by statute, (2) covenants, conditions and restrictions,
rights of way, easements and other matters of public record as of the date
of
recording of such Mortgage acceptable to mortgage lending institutions in
the
area in which the related Mortgaged Property is located and specifically
referred to in the lender’s Title Insurance Policy or attorney’s opinion of
title and abstract of title delivered to the originator of such Mortgage
Loan,
and (3) such other matters to which like properties are commonly subject
which
do not, individually or in the aggregate, materially interfere with the benefits
of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage, of any encumbrance,
equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim 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
each
Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) The
representations and warranties of each Transferor with respect to the related
Mortgage Loans in the applicable Transfer Agreement, which have been assigned
to
the Trustee hereunder, were made as of the date specified in the applicable
Transfer Agreement (or underlying agreement, if such Transfer Agreement is
in
the form of an assignment of a prior agreement). To the extent that any fact,
condition or event with respect to a Mortgage Loan constitutes a breach of
both
(i) a representation or warranty of the applicable Transferor under the
applicable Transfer Agreement and (ii) a representation or warranty of LBH
under
the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement, the only right or remedy of the Trustee
or of
any Certificateholder shall be the Trustee’s right to enforce the obligations of
the applicable Transferor under any applicable representation or warranty
made
by it. The Trustee acknowledges that LBH shall have no obligation or liability
with respect to any breach of a representation or warranty made by it with
respect to the Mortgage Loans if the fact, condition or event constituting
such
breach also constitutes a breach of a representation or warranty made by
the
applicable Transferor in the applicable Transfer Agreement, without regard
to
whether such Transferor fulfills its contractual obligations in respect of
such
representation or warranty. The Trustee further acknowledges that the Depositor
shall have no obligation or liability with respect to any breach of any
representation or warranty with respect to the Mortgage Loans under any
circumstances.
52
Section
2.04. Discovery
of Breach.
It
is
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties (i) of the
Depositor set forth in Section 2.03 hereof, (ii) of LBH set forth in the
Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement and assigned to the Trustee by the Depositor
hereunder and (iii) of each Transferor, assigned by LBH to the Depositor
pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement and assigned to the Trustee
by the
Depositor hereunder, shall each survive delivery of the Mortgage Files and
the
Assignment of Mortgage of each Mortgage Loan to the Trustee and shall continue
throughout the term of this Agreement. Upon discovery by any of the Depositor,
the Master Servicer, or a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of a breach
of any
of such representations and warranties that adversely and materially affects
the
value of the related Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall
give
prompt written notice to the other parties; provided, to the extent that
knowledge of such breach with respect to any Mortgage Loan is known by any
officer, director, employee or agent of Aurora Loan Services LLC acting in
any
capacity other than as Master Servicer hereunder, the Master Servicer shall
not
be deemed to have knowledge of any such breach until an officer of the Master
Servicer has actual knowledge thereof. Within 90 days of the notice of discovery
of a breach of any representation or warranty given to the Trustee by the
Depositor, any Transferor or LBH and assigned to the Trustee hereunder, the
Depositor, such Transferor or LBH shall either (a) cure such breach in all
material respects, (b) repurchase such Mortgage Loan or any property acquired
in
respect thereof from the Trustee at the Purchase Price (or in the case of
a
First Payment Default Mortgage Loan, the FPD Purchase Price) or (c) within
the
two year period following the Closing Date, substitute a Qualifying Substitute
Mortgage Loan for the affected Mortgage Loan. In the event of the discovery
of a
breach of any representation and warranty of any Transferor assigned to the
Trustee, the Trustee shall enforce its rights under the applicable Transfer
Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. As provided in the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement, if any
Transferor substitutes for a Mortgage Loan for which there is a breach of
any
representations and warranties in the related Transfer Agreement which adversely
and materially affects the value of such Mortgage Loan and such substitute
mortgage loan is not a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan, under the terms
of
the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement, LBH will, in exchange for such Substitute
Mortgage Loan, either (i) provide the applicable Purchase Price for the
affected Mortgage Loan or (ii) within two years of the Closing Date,
substitute such affected Mortgage Loan with a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage
Loan.
Section
2.05. Repurchase,
Purchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans.
(a) With
respect to any Mortgage Loan repurchased by the Depositor pursuant to this
Agreement by LBH pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement or by any
Transferor pursuant to the applicable Transfer Agreement, the principal portion
of the funds (including the FPD Purchase Price in the case of any First Payment
Default Mortgage Loan) received by the Trustee in respect of such repurchase
of
a Mortgage Loan will be considered a Principal Prepayment and the Purchase
Price
or FPD Purchase Price, as applicable, shall be deposited in the Certificate
Account. The Trustee, upon receipt by LBH or a Transferor of the full amount
of
the Purchase Price for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, or upon its receipt of
notification from the applicable Custodian that it has received the Mortgage
File for a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan substituted for a Deleted
Mortgage Loan (and any applicable Substitution Amount), shall release or
cause
to be released and reassigned to the Depositor, LBH or the applicable
Transferor, as applicable, the related Mortgage File for the Deleted Mortgage
Loan and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment,
in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary
to vest in such party or its designee or assignee title to any Deleted Mortgage
Loan released pursuant hereto, free and clear of all security interests,
liens
and other encumbrances created by this Agreement, which instruments shall
be
prepared by the applicable Servicer or the Trustee (or the applicable
Custodian), and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility with respect
to
the Mortgage File relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Seller indemnifies
and holds the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor and each Certificateholder
harmless against any and all taxes, claims, losses, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any
other
costs, fees and expenses that the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor
and any
Certificateholder may sustain in connection with any actions of the Seller
relating to a repurchase of a Mortgage Loan other than in compliance with
the
terms of this Section 2.05 and the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement, to the extent
that any such action causes (i) any federal or state tax to be imposed on
the
Trust Fund, including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on “prohibited
transactions” under Section 860F(2) of the Code, or (ii) any REMIC created
hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate
is
outstanding.
53
(b) With
respect to each Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan to be delivered to the
Trustee (or the applicable Custodian) pursuant to the terms of this Article
II
in exchange for a Deleted Mortgage Loan: (i) the Depositor, the applicable
Transferor or LBH must deliver to the Trustee (or the applicable Custodian)
the
Mortgage File for the Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan containing the
documents set forth in Section 2.01(b) along with a written certification
certifying as to the delivery of such Mortgage File and containing the granting
language set forth in Section 2.01(a); and (ii) the Depositor will be deemed
to
have made, with respect to such Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan, each
of the
representations and warranties made by it with respect to the related Deleted
Mortgage Loan. As soon as practicable after the delivery of any Qualifying
Substitute Mortgage Loan hereunder, the Master Servicer, at the expense of
the
Depositor and at the direction and with the cooperation of the applicable
Servicer, shall, with respect to a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan that
is a
Non-MERS Mortgage Loan, cause the Assignment of Mortgage to be recorded by
such
Servicer if required pursuant to Section 2.01(c)(i), or such Servicer shall,
with respect to a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage
Loan, cause to be taken such actions as are necessary to cause the Trustee
to be
clearly identified as the owner of each such Mortgage Loan on the records
of
MERS if required pursuant to Section 2.01(c)(ii).
54
(c) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the right to substitute Mortgage Loans
pursuant to this Article II shall be subject to the additional limitations
that
no substitution of a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Deleted Mortgage
Loan shall be made unless the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel
(at the
expense of the party seeking to make the substitution) that, under current
law,
such substitution will not (A) affect adversely the status of any REMIC
established hereunder as a REMIC, or of the related “regular interests” as
“regular interests” in any such REMIC, or (B) cause any such REMIC to engage in
a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution pursuant to the REMIC
Provisions.
Section
2.06. Grant
Clause.
(a) It
is
intended that the conveyance of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and
to property constituting the Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement shall
constitute, and shall be construed as, a sale of such property and not a
grant
of a security interest to secure a loan. However, if such conveyance is deemed
to be in respect of a loan, it is intended that: (1) the rights and obligations
of the parties shall be established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;
(2)
the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders
of the
Certificates a first priority security interest to secure repayment of an
obligation in an amount equal to the aggregate Class Principal Amount of
the
Certificates (or the aggregate principal balance of the Lower tier REMIC
I
Uncertificated Regular Interests, if applicable) in all of the Depositor’s
right, title and interest in, to and under, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired, the Trust Fund and all proceeds of any and all property constituting
the Trust Fund to secure payment of the Certificates or Lower Tier REMIC
I
Uncertificated Regular Interests, as applicable; and (3) this Agreement shall
constitute a security agreement under applicable law. If such conveyance
is
deemed to be in respect of a loan and the Trust created by this Agreement
terminates prior to the satisfaction of the claims of any Person holding
any
Certificate or Lower Tier REMIC I Uncertificated Regular Interests, as
applicable, the security interest created hereby shall continue in full force
and effect and the Trustee shall be deemed to be the collateral agent for
the
benefit of such Person, and all proceeds shall be distributed as herein
provided.
(b) The
Depositor shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such
reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement
were
deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the other
property described above, such security interest would be deemed to be a
perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will
be
maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. The Depositor will,
at
its own expense, make all initial filings on or about the Closing Date and
shall
forward a copy of such filing or filings to the Trustee. Without limiting
the
generality of the foregoing, the Depositor shall prepare and forward for
filing,
or shall cause to be forwarded for filing, at the expense of the Depositor,
all
filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings
necessary under the relevant UCC to perfect the Trustee’s security interest in
or lien on the Mortgage Loans, including without limitation (x) continuation
statements, and (y) such other statements as may be occasioned by (1) any
change
of name of the Seller, the Depositor or the Trustee, (2) any change of location
of the jurisdiction of organization of the Seller or the Depositor, (3) any
transfer of any interest of the Seller or the Depositor in any Mortgage Loan
or
(4) any change under the relevant UCC or other applicable laws. Neither the
Seller nor the Depositor shall organize under the law of any jurisdiction
other
than the State under which each is organized as of the Closing Date (whether
changing its jurisdiction of organization or organizing under an additional
jurisdiction) without giving 30 days prior written notice of such action
to its
transferee, including the Trustee. Before effecting such change, the Seller
or
the Depositor proposing to change its jurisdiction of organization shall
prepare
and file in the appropriate filing office any financing statements or other
statements necessary to continue the perfection of the interests of its
transferees, including the Trustee, in the Mortgage Loans. In connection
with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the Seller and the
Depositor authorizes its transferee to file in any filing office any initial
financing statements, any amendments to financing statements, any continuation
statements, or any other statements or filings described in this paragraph
(b).

Amount) specified in the Preliminary Statement hereto and in integral multiples
of $1 in excess thereof. The Residual Certificates shall each be issued as
a
single Certificate and maintained in definitive, fully registered form in

by
the Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf) of the Mortgage Files described
in
Section 2.01. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate
a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein,
executed by an authorized signatory of the Trustee or the Authenticating
Agent,
if any, by manual signature, and such certification upon any Certificate
shall
be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has
been
duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated
the
date of their authentication. At any time and from time to time after the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor may deliver Certificates
executed by the Depositor to the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent for
authentication and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate
and deliver such Certificates as in this Agreement provided and not otherwise.

Section
3.02. Registration.
The
Trustee is hereby appointed, and hereby accepts its appointment as, Certificate
Registrar in respect of the Certificates (and, after a Section 7.01(c) Purchase
Event, the Lower Tier REMIC I Uncertificated Regular Interests, if applicable)
and shall maintain books for the registration and for the transfer of
Certificates (and, after a Section 7.01(c) Purchase Event, the Lower Tier
REMIC
I Uncertificated Regular Interests, if applicable) (the “Certificate Register”).
A registration book shall be maintained for the Certificates (and, after
a
Section 7.01(c) Purchase Event, the Lower Tier REMIC I Uncertificated Regular
Interests, if applicable) collectively. The Certificate Registrar may resign
or
be discharged or removed and a new successor may be appointed by the Trustee
in
accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in Sections 6.06
and
6.07 hereof with respect to the resignation, discharge or removal of the
Trustee
and the appointment of a successor Trustee. The Certificate Registrar may
appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Holders and the Master
Servicer, any bank or trust company to act as co-registrar under such conditions
as the Certificate Registrar may prescribe; provided,
however,
that
the Certificate Registrar shall not be relieved of any of its duties or
responsibilities hereunder by reason of such appointment.
57
Upon
the
occurrence of a Section 7.01(c) Purchase Event, the Master Servicer shall
provide the Trustee with written notice of the identity of any transferee
of the
Master Servicer’s interest in the Lower Tier REMIC I Uncertificated Regular
Interests, which notice shall contain a certification that such transferee
is
permitted LTURI holder. The Lower Tier REMIC I Uncertificated Regular Interests
may only be transferred in whole and not in part to no more than one LTURI
holder at a time who is either (1) an affiliate of the Master Servicer or
(2) a
trustee of a privately placed securitization. The Trustee and the Depositor
shall treat the Person in whose name the Lower Tier REMIC I Uncertificated
Regular Interests are registered on the books of the Certificate Registrar
as
the LTURI holder for all purposes hereunder.
Section
3.03. Transfer
and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) A
Certificate (other than Book-Entry Certificates which shall be subject to
Section 3.09 hereof) may be transferred by the Holder thereof only upon
presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate
Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by
such
Holder or his duly authorized attorney in such form as shall be satisfactory
to
the Certificate Registrar. Upon the transfer of any Certificate in accordance
with the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall execute, and the Trustee or
any
Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the transferee, one
or
more new Certificates of the same Class and evidencing, in the aggregate,
the
same aggregate Certificate Principal Amount or Percentage Interest as the
Certificate being transferred. No service charge shall be made to a
Certificateholder for any registration of transfer of Certificates, but the
Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax
or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration
of transfer of Certificates.
(b) A
Certificate may be exchanged by the Holder thereof for any number of new
Certificates of the same Class, in authorized denominations, representing
in the
aggregate the same Certificate Principal Amount or Percentage Interest as
the
Certificate surrendered, upon surrender of the Certificate to be exchanged
at
the office of the Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer duly executed by such Holder or his duly
authorized attorney in such form as is satisfactory to the Certificate
Registrar. Certificates delivered upon any such exchange will evidence the
same
obligations, and will be entitled to the same rights and privileges, as the
Certificates surrendered. No service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder
for any exchange of Certificates (except as provided in the Exchange Trust
Agreement), but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any exchange of Certificates. Whenever any Certificates are
so
surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute, and the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, date and deliver the Certificates
which
the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
58
(c) By
acceptance of a Restricted Certificate or a Regulation S Global Security,
whether upon original issuance or subsequent transfer, each Holder of such
a
Certificate acknowledges the restrictions on the transfer of such Certificate
set forth thereon and agrees that it will transfer such a Certificate only
as
provided herein. In addition, each Holder of a Regulation S Global Security
shall be deemed to have represented and warranted to the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar and any of their respective successors that: (i) such
Person (A) if the offer or sale was made to it prior to the expiration of
the 40-day distribution compliance period within the meaning of Regulation
S, is
not a U.S. person within the meaning of Regulation S and (B) was, at the
time
the buy order was originated, outside the United States and (ii) such Person
understands that such Certificates have not been registered under the Securities
Act, and that (x) until the expiration of the 40-day distribution compliance
period (within the meaning of Regulation S), no offer, sale, pledge or other
transfer of such Certificates or any interest therein shall be made in the
United States or to or for the account or benefit of a U.S. person (each
as
defined in Regulation S), (y) if in the future it decides to offer, resell,
pledge or otherwise transfer such Certificates, such Certificates may be
offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only (A) to a person which
the
seller reasonably believes is a “qualified institutional buyer” (a “QIB”) as
defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act, that is purchasing such
Certificates for its own account or for the account of a qualified institutional
buyer to which notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance
on
Rule 144A or (B) in an offshore transaction (as defined in Regulation S)
in
compliance with the provisions of Regulation S, in each case in compliance
with
the requirements of this Agreement; and it will notify such transferee of
the
transfer restrictions specified in this Section.
The
following restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer and registration
of transfer of a Restricted Certificate to a transferee that takes delivery
in
the form of a Definitive Certificate:
(i) The
Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Restricted Certificate
if
the requested transfer is (x) to the Depositor, the Servicers or the Placement
Agent or to an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act)
of
the Depositor or the Placement Agent or (y) being made to a QIB by a transferor
that has provided the Trustee with a certificate in the form of Exhibit F
hereto; and
(ii) The
Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Restricted Certificate
if
the requested transfer is being made to an “accredited investor” under Rule
501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act by a transferor who
furnishes to the Trustee a letter of the transferee substantially in the
form of
Exhibit G hereto.
59
(d) (i)
No
transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate in the form of a Definitive
Certificate shall be made to any Person or shall be effective unless the
Trustee
has received (A) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto
(or
Exhibit D-1, in the case of a Residual Certificate) from such transferee
or (B)
other than in the case of the Class 1-A9 and Class 1-A10 Certificates, an
Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that
the
purchase and holding of such a Certificate will not constitute or result
in
prohibited transactions under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code
and
will not subject the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Depositor to any
obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement; provided,
however,
that
the Trustee will not require such certificate or opinion in the event that,
as a
result of a change of law or otherwise, the Trustee receives an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that the purchase and holding of an ERISA-Restricted
Certificate by a Plan or a Person that is purchasing or holding such a
Certificate with the assets of a Plan will not constitute or result in a
prohibited transaction under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.
Each
Transferee of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate
shall be deemed to have made the representations set forth in Exhibit H.
The
preparation and delivery of the certificate and opinions referred to above
shall
not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or
the
Depositor.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no opinion or certificate shall be required for the initial
issuance of the ERISA-Restricted Certificates. The Trustee shall have no
obligation to monitor transfers of Book-Entry Certificates that are
ERISA-Restricted Certificates and shall have no liability for transfers of
such
Certificates in violation of the transfer restrictions. The Trustee 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
3.03(d)(i) 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
Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements. The Trustee shall
be
entitled, but not obligated, to recover from any Holder of any ERISA-Restricted
Certificate that was in fact a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of a Plan
any
payments made on such ERISA-Restricted Certificate at and after either such
time. Any such payments so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and delivered
by the Trustee to the last preceding Holder of such Certificate that is not
such
a Plan or Person acting on behalf of a Plan.
(ii)
No
transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate shall be made prior to
the
termination of the related Cap Agreement unless the Trustee shall have received
a representation letter from the transferee of such Certificate, substantially
in the form set forth in Exhibit H, to the effect that either (i) such
transferee is neither a Plan nor a Person acting on behalf of any such Plan
or
using the assets of any such Plan to effect such transfer or (ii) the
acquisition and holding of the ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate are eligible
for exemptive relief under Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”)
00-00, XXXX 00-0, XXXX 91-38, XXXX 00-00, XXXX 96-23 or the statutory exemption
for non-fiduciary service providers under Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA.
Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer
of
an ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate prior to the termination of the related
Cap Agreement to or on behalf of a Plan without the delivery to the Trustee
of a
representation letter as described above shall be void and of no effect.
If the
ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate is a Book-Entry Certificate, prior to
the
termination of the related Cap Agreement, the transferee will be deemed to
have
made a representation as provided in clause (i) or (ii) of this paragraph,
as
applicable.
60
If
any
ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate, or any interest therein, is acquired
or held
in violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the next preceding
permitted beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner of that
Certificate, retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial
owner. Any purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of an
ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate, or interest therein, was effected in
violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraph shall indemnify to
the
extent permitted by law and hold harmless the Depositor, the Trustee,
the
Trustee
and the Master Servicer from and against any and all liabilities, claims,
costs
or expenses incurred by such parties as a result of such acquisition or
holding.
To
the
extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA),
the Trustee shall not be under any liability to any Person for any registration
of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate that is in fact not
permitted by this Section 3.03(d)(ii) 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 Trustee in accordance with the foregoing
requirements.
(e) As
a
condition of the registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate,
the
Certificate Registrar may require the certified taxpayer identification number
of the owner of the Certificate and the payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any
tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith; provided,
however,
that
the Certificate Registrar shall have no obligation to require such payment
or to
determine whether or not any such tax or charge may be applicable. No service
charge shall be made to the Certificateholder for any registration, transfer
or
exchange of Certificate, except as provided in the Exchange Trust
Agreement.
(f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, no Residual Certificate may be
owned,
pledged or transferred, directly or indirectly, by or to (i) a Disqualified
Organization or (ii) an individual, corporation or partnership or other person
unless such person is (A) not a Non-U.S. Person or (B) is a Non-U.S. Person
that
holds a Residual Certificate in connection with the conduct of a trade or
business within the United States and has furnished the transferor and the
Trustee with an effective Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or successor
form
at the time and in the manner required by the Code (any such person who is
not
covered by clause (A) or (B) above is referred to herein as a “Non-permitted
Foreign Holder”).
Prior
to
and as a condition of the registration of any transfer, sale or other
disposition of a Residual Certificate, the proposed transferee shall deliver
to
the Trustee an affidavit in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit
D-1 representing and warranting, among other things, that such transferee
is
neither a Disqualified Organization, an agent or nominee acting on behalf
of a
Disqualified Organization, nor a Non-permitted Foreign Holder (any such
transferee, a “Permitted Transferee”) and the proposed transferor shall deliver
to the Trustee an affidavit in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit
D-2. In addition, the Trustee may (but shall have no obligation to) require,
prior to and as a condition of any such transfer, the delivery by the proposed
transferee of an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Depositor and the Trustee
satisfactory in form and substance to the Depositor, that such proposed
transferee or, if the proposed transferee is an agent or nominee, the proposed
beneficial owner, is not a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof,
or Non-permitted Foreign Holder. Notwithstanding the registration in the
Certificate Register of any transfer, sale, or other disposition of a Residual
Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, an agent or nominee thereof,
or
Non-permitted Foreign Holder, such registration shall be deemed to be of
no
legal force or effect whatsoever and such Disqualified Organization, agent
or
nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder shall not be deemed to be
a
Certificateholder for any purpose hereunder, including, but not limited to,
the
receipt of distributions on such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall
not be
under any liability to any person for any registration or transfer of a Residual
Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or
Non-permitted Foreign Holder or for the maturity of any payments due on such
Residual Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking any other action
with
respect to such Holder under the provisions of the Agreement, so long as
the
transfer was effected in accordance with this Section 3.03(f), unless a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge at the time
of
such transfer or the time of such payment or other action that the transferee
is
a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign
Holder. The Trustee shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of a Residual
Certificate that was a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof,
or
Non-permitted Foreign Holder at the time it became a Holder or any subsequent
time it became a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or
Non-permitted Foreign Holder, all payments made on such Residual Certificate
at
and after either such times (and all costs and expenses, including but not
limited to attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection therewith). Any payment (not
including any such costs and expenses) so recovered by the Trustee shall
be paid
and delivered to the last preceding Holder of such Residual
Certificate.
61
If
any
purported transferee shall become a registered Holder of a Residual Certificate
in violation of the provisions of this Section 3.03(f), then upon receipt
of
written notice to the Trustee that the registration of transfer of such Residual
Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section 3.03(f), the last
preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder
thereof
retroactive to the date of such registration of transfer of such Residual
Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any
registration of transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted
by this Section 3.03(f), for making any payment due on such Certificate to
the
registered Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to
such
Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was
registered upon receipt of the affidavit described in the preceding paragraph
of
this Section 3.03(f).
(g) Each
Holder of a Residual Certificate, by such Holder’s acceptance thereof, shall be
deemed for all purposes to have consented to the provisions of this
section.
(h) Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary herein, so long as a Global Security representing
any of the Privately Offered Certificates remains outstanding and is held
by or
on behalf of DTC, transfers of a Global Security representing any such
Certificates, in whole or in part, shall only be made in accordance with
Section
3.01 and this Section 3.03(h).
(A) Subject
to clauses (B) and (C) of this Section 3.03(h), transfers of a Global Security
representing any of the Privately Offered Certificates shall be limited to
transfers of such Global Security, in whole or in part, to nominees of DTC
or to
a successor of DTC or such successor’s nominee.
62
(B) Restricted
Global Security to Regulation S Global Security.
If a
holder of a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security deposited
with
or on behalf of DTC wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such
Restricted Global Security for an interest in a Regulation S Global Security,
or
to transfer its interest in such Restricted Global Security to a Person who
wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in a Regulation
S
Global Security, such holder, provided
such
holder is not a U.S. person, may, subject to the rules and procedures of
DTC,
exchange or cause the exchange of such interest for an equivalent beneficial
interest in the Regulation S Global Security. Upon receipt by the Trustee,
as
Certificate Registrar, of (I) instructions from DTC directing the Trustee,
as
Certificate Registrar, to cause to be credited a beneficial interest in a
Regulation S Global Security in an amount equal to the beneficial interest
in
such Restricted Global Security to be exchanged but not less than the minimum
denomination applicable to such holder’s Certificates held through a Regulation
S Global Security, (II) a written order given in accordance with DTC’s
procedures containing information regarding the participant account of DTC
and,
in the case of a transfer pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S,
the
Euroclear or Clearstream account to be credited with such increase and (III)
a
certificate in the form of Exhibit N-1 hereto given by the holder of such
beneficial interest stating that the exchange or transfer of such interest
has
been made in compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the
Regulation S Global Securities, including that the holder is not a U.S. person,
and pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S, the Trustee, as Certificate
Registrar, shall reduce the principal amount of the Restricted Global Security
and increase the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Security by
the
aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Restricted Global
Security to be exchanged, and shall instruct Euroclear or Clearstream, as
applicable, concurrently with such reduction, to credit or cause to be credited
to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial
interest in the Regulation S Global Security equal to the reduction in the
principal amount of the Restricted Global Security.
(C) Regulation
S Global Security to Restricted Global Security.
If a
holder of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Security deposited
with
or on behalf of DTC wishes at any time to transfer its interest in such
Regulation S Global Security to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof
in
the form of an interest in a Restricted Global Security, such holder may,
subject to the rules and procedures DTC, exchange or cause the exchange of
such
interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security.
Upon receipt by the Trustee, as Certificate Registrar, of (I) instructions
from
DTC directing the Trustee, as Certificate Registrar, to cause to be credited
a
beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security in an amount equal to
the
beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Security to be exchanged
but not
less than the minimum denomination applicable to such holder’s Certificates held
through a Restricted Global Security, to be exchanged, such instructions
to
contain information regarding the participant account with DTC to be credited
with such increase, and (II) a certificate in the form of Exhibit N-2 hereto
given by the holder of such beneficial interest and stating, among other
things,
that the Person transferring such interest in such Regulation S Global Security
reasonably believes that the Person acquiring such interest in a Restricted
Global Security is a QIB, is obtaining such beneficial interest in a transaction
meeting the requirements of Rule 144A under the Securities Act and in accordance
with any applicable securities laws of any State of the United States or
any
other jurisdiction, then the Trustee, as Certificate Registrar, will reduce
the
principal amount of the Regulation S Global Security and increase the principal
amount of the Restricted Global Security by the aggregate principal amount
of
the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security to be transferred
and the Trustee, as Certificate Registrar, shall instruct DTC, concurrently
with
such reduction, to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person
specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global
Security equal to the reduction in the principal amount of the Regulation
S
Global Security.
63
(D) Other
Exchanges.
In the
event that a Global Security is exchanged for Certificates in definitive
registered form without interest coupons, pursuant to Section 3.09(c) hereof,
such Certificates may be exchanged for one another only in accordance with
such
procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions above (including
certification requirements intended to insure that such transfers comply
with
Rule 144A, comply with Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) or are to non-U.S.
persons in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act, as the
case
may be), and as may be from time to time adopted by the Trustee.
(E) Restrictions
on U.S. Transfers.
Transfers of interests in a Regulation S Global Security to U.S. persons
(as
defined in Regulation S) shall be limited to transfers made pursuant to the
provisions of Section 3.03(h)(C).
Section
3.04. Cancellation
of Certificates.
Any
Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be
cancelled and retained in accordance with normal retention policies with
respect
to cancelled certificates maintained by the Certificate Registrar.
Section
3.05. Replacement
of Certificates.
If
(i)
any Certificate is mutilated and is surrendered to the Trustee or any
Authenticating Agent or (ii) the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent receives
evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate, and there is delivered to the Trustee or the Authenticating
Agent
such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee and any Authenticating
Agent that such destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate has been acquired by
a
bona
fide
purchaser, the Trustee shall execute and the Trustee or any Authenticating
Agent
shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like
tenor and Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount). Upon the issuance
of any new Certificate under this Section 3.05, the Trustee and Authenticating
Agent may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee or the Authenticating
Agent) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to
this
Section 3.05 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership
in
the applicable Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost,
stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
64
Section
3.06. Persons
Deemed Owners.
Subject
to the provisions of Section 3.09 with respect to Book-Entry Certificates,
the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and
any
agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is
registered upon the books of the Certificate Registrar as the owner of such
Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Sections
5.01
and 5.02 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Depositor,
the
Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any agent of
any of
them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section
3.07. Temporary
Certificates.
(a) Pending
the preparation of definitive Certificates, upon the order of the Depositor,
the
Trustee shall execute and shall authenticate and deliver temporary Certificates
that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced,
in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive
Certificates in lieu of which they are issued and with such variations as
the
authorized officers executing such Certificates may determine, as evidenced
by
their execution of such Certificates.
(b) If
temporary Certificates are issued, the Depositor will cause definitive
Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation
of
definitive Certificates, the temporary Certificates shall be exchangeable
for
definitive Certificates upon surrender of the temporary Certificates at the
office or agency of the Trustee without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender
for
cancellation of any one or more temporary Certificates, the Trustee shall
execute and authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like aggregate
Certificate Principal Amount of definitive Certificates of the same Class
in the
authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Certificates
shall
in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as
definitive Certificates of the same Class.
Section
3.08. Appointment
of Paying Agent.
The
Trustee may appoint a Paying Agent (which may be the Trustee) for the purpose
of
making distributions to Certificateholders hereunder. The Trustee shall cause
such Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) to execute and deliver to the
Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee
that such Paying Agent will hold all sums held by it for the payment to
Certificateholders in an Eligible Account, on behalf of the Trustee, in trust
for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums
shall
be paid to the Certificateholders. All funds remitted by the Trustee to any
such
Paying Agent for the purpose of making distributions shall be paid to
Certificateholders on each Distribution Date and any amounts not so paid
shall
be returned on such Distribution Date to the Trustee. If the Paying Agent
is not
the Trustee, the Trustee shall cause to be remitted to the Paying Agent on
or
before the Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, by wire transfer
in
immediately available funds, the funds to be distributed on such Distribution
Date. Any Paying Agent shall be either a bank or trust company or otherwise
authorized under law to exercise corporate trust powers. As of the Closing
Date,
the Trustee is the Paying Agent.
65
At
any time during the period that a Form 10-K is being filed with respect to
the
Trust in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of
the
Commission, the Trustee shall not appoint a Paying Agent that is not the
Trustee
unless that Paying Agent first agrees in writing with the Trustee (i) to
deliver
an assessment of compliance and an accountant’s attestation in such manner and
at such times in compliance with Section 9.25(a) and 9.25(b) of this Agreement,
(ii) to comply with the provisions of Section 9.25(a), 9.25(b), 6.20(e)(i)
and
6.20(e)(iv)of this Agreement and (iii) to indemnify the Depositor and the
Master
Servicer, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents
and the
Trust Fund and hold each of them harmless as set forth in Section 6.23. For
so
long as the Depositor is subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements with
respect to the Trust, the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) shall
give
prior written notice to the Sponsor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and
the
Depositor of the appointment of any Subcontractor by it and a written
description (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Sponsor
and
the Depositor) of the role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by
the
Paying Agent, as applicable, specifying (A) the identity of each such
Subcontractor and (B) which elements of the servicing criteria set forth
under
Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB will be addressed in assessments of compliance
provided by each Subcontractor for
which
the Paying Agent does not elect to take responsibility for assessing compliance
with the Servicing Criteria in accordance with Regulation AB Telephone
Interpretation 17.06.
In addition, for so long as the Depositor is subject to Exchange Act reporting
requirements with respect to the Trust, the Paying Agent (including the Trustee
in its capacity as Paying Agent, to the extent not already required of the
Trustee under this Agreement) shall notify the Sponsor, the Master Servicer,
the
Trustee and the Depositor within five (5) calendar days of knowledge thereof
(i)
of any legal proceedings pending under the Paying Agent of the type described

substantially all of the assets of the Paying Agent and (iii) if the Paying

time
an affiliate of any of the parties listed on Exhibit I hereto or any of their

Fund
and hold each of them harmless from and against any losses, damages, penalties,

in the
form of one or more typewritten Certificates representing the Book-Entry
Certificates, to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company, or its custodian,
the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Depositor. The Book-Entry
Certificates shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in
the
name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency, and no Certificate Owner will
receive a definitive certificate representing such Certificate Owner’s interest
in the Book-Entry Certificates, except as provided in Section 3.09(c). Unless
Definitive Certificates have been issued to Certificate Owners of Book-Entry
Certificates pursuant to Section 3.09(c):
(ii) the
provisions of this Section 3.09 shall be in full force and effect;
(iii) the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar
and
the Trustee may deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes (including
the
making of distributions on the Book-Entry Certificates) as the authorized
representatives of the Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency shall be
responsible for crediting the amount of such distributions to the accounts
of
such Persons entitled thereto, in accordance with the Clearing Agency’s normal
procedures;
(iv) to
the
extent that the provisions of this Section 3.09 conflict with any other
provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 3.09 shall control;
and
(v) the

Agency
and the Clearing Agency Participants and shall be limited to those established
by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency
and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. Unless and until Definitive
Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 3.09(c), the initial Clearing
Agency
will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and
receive and transmit distributions of principal of and interest on the
Book-Entry Certificates to such Clearing Agency Participants.
(b) Whenever
notice or other communication to the Certificateholders is required under
this
Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued
to
Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 3.09(c), the Trustee shall give all
such
notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the
Book-Entry Certificates to the Clearing Agency.
67
(c) If
(i)
(A) the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency
is no
longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities with respect
to the Book-Entry Certificates, and (B) the Trustee or the Depositor is unable
to locate a qualified successor or (ii) after the occurrence of an Event
of
Default, Certificate Owners representing beneficial interests aggregating
not
less than 50% of the Class Principal Amount (or Class Notional Amount) of
a
Class of Book-Entry Certificates identified as such to the Trustee by an
Officer’s Certificate from the Clearing Agency advise the Trustee and the
Clearing Agency through the Clearing Agency Participants in writing that
the
continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer
in
the best interests of the Certificate Owners of a Class of Book-Entry
Certificates, the Trustee shall notify or cause the Certificate Registrar
to
notify the Clearing Agency to effect notification to all Certificate Owners,
through the Clearing Agency, of the occurrence of any such event and of the
availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting
the
same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the Book-Entry Certificates by the
Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions from the Clearing
Agency for registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates.
Neither the Transferor nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery
of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected
in
relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates
all
references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Clearing
Agency shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to
the
extent applicable, with respect to such Definitive Certificates and the Trustee
shall recognize the holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders
hereunder. None of the Seller, the Depositor, the Underwriter, the Master
Servicer or the Trustee shall have any responsibility for any aspect of the
records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership
interests of the Book Entry Certificates held by the Clearing Agency or for
maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial
ownership interests.

a
new Collection Account that is an Eligible Account within 30 calendar days

the
Available Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date (other than amounts
due
or reimbursable to the Trustee or Custodians pursuant to this Agreement),
shall
be remitted to the Trustee for deposit into the Certificate Account by wire
transfer in immediately available funds. The Master Servicer, at its option
and
with prior notice to the Trustee, may choose to make daily remittances from
the
Collection Account to the Trustee for deposit into the Certificate

(d) The
Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the Collection
Account, no later than two Business Days following the Closing Date, any
amounts
representing Scheduled Payments on the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off
Date
and received by the Master Servicer on or before the Closing Date. Thereafter,
the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection
Account on the earlier of the applicable Master Servicer Remittance Date
and two
Business Days following receipt thereof, the following amounts received or
payments made by it (other than in respect of principal of and interest on
the
Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date):
(i) all
payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments and late
collections, as indicated in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, on the Mortgage
Loans;
(ii) all
payments on account of interest including Prepayment Penalty Amounts on the
Mortgage Loans (other than payments due prior to the Cut-off Date), net of
the
applicable Servicing Fee and Master Servicing Fee with respect to each such
Mortgage Loan, but only to the extent of the amount permitted to be withdrawn
or
withheld from the Collection Account in accordance with Sections 5.04 and

(iii) any
unscheduled payment or other recovery with respect to a Mortgage Loan not
otherwise specified in this paragraph (d), including any Subsequent Recovery,

REO
Property, net of any unpaid Servicing Fees and Master Servicing Fees with

that if
the applicable Servicer is also the Retained Interest Holder with respect
to any
Mortgage Loan, payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans as to
which
such Servicer is the Retained Interest Holder may also be made net of the
related Retained Interest with respect to each such Mortgage Loan.
69
(iv) all
Insurance Proceeds;
(v) all
Advances made by the Master Servicer or any Servicer pursuant to Section
5.04 or
the applicable Servicing Agreement;
(vi) all
proceeds of any Mortgage Loan purchased by any Person and any Substitution
Amounts related to any Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan; and
(vii) the

other
Person and any Substitution Amount related to any Qualifying Substitute Mortgage

(e) Funds
in
the Collection Account may be invested in Eligible Investments (selected
by and

than the earlier of (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date or (b) the day
on
which the funds in such Collection Account are required to be remitted to
the
Trustee for deposit into the Certificate Account, and any such Eligible
Investment shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All such
Eligible Investments shall be made in the name of the Master Servicer in
trust
for the benefit of the Trustee and Holders of the Certificates. All income
and
gain realized from any such investment shall be for the benefit of the Master
Servicer as compensation and shall be subject to its withdrawal on order
from
time to time, and shall not be part of the Trust Fund. The amount of any
losses
incurred in respect of any such investments shall be deposited in the Collection
Account by the Master Servicer out of its own funds, without any right of
reimbursement therefor, immediately as realized. The foregoing requirements
for
deposit in the Collection Account are exclusive, it being understood and
agreed
that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments of interest
on
funds in the Collection Account and payments in the nature of late payment
charges or assumption fees need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in
the
Collection Account and may be retained by the Master Servicer or the applicable
Servicer as additional servicing compensation. If the Master Servicer deposits
in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein,
it
may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account.
Section
4.02. Application
of Funds in the Collection Account.
The
Master Servicer may, from time to time, make, or cause to be made, withdrawals
from the Collection Account for the following purposes:
70
(i) to
reimburse itself or any Servicer for Advances made by it or by such Servicer
pursuant to Section 5.04 or the applicable Servicing Agreement; provided,
however,
that the
Master Servicer’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause is
limited to amounts received on or in respect of particular Mortgage Loans
(including, for this purpose, Liquidation Proceeds and amounts representing
Insurance Proceeds with respect to the property subject to the related Mortgage)
which represent late recoveries (net of the applicable Servicing Fee and
the
Master Servicing Fee) of payments of principal or interest respecting which
any
such Advance was made; provided,
further,
that
following the final liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer may
reimburse itself for previously unreimbursed Advances in excess of Liquidation
Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds with respect to such Mortgage Loans from any
funds in the Collection Account, it being understood, in the case of any
such
reimbursement, that the Master Servicer’s or Servicer’s right thereto shall be
prior to the rights of the Certificateholders;
(ii) to
reimburse itself or any Servicer for any Servicing Advances made by it or
by
such Servicer that it or such Servicer determines in good faith will not
be
recoverable from amounts representing late recoveries of payments of principal
or interest respecting the particular Mortgage Loan as to which such Servicing
Advance was made or from Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds with
respect
to such Mortgage Loan, it being understood, in the case of any such
reimbursement, that such Master Servicer’s or Servicer’s right thereto shall be
prior to the rights of the Certificateholders;
(iii) to
reimburse itself or any Servicer from Liquidation Proceeds for Liquidation
Expenses and for amounts expended by it pursuant to Sections 9.20 and 9.22(a)
or
the applicable Servicing Agreement in good faith in connection with the
restoration of damaged property and, to the extent that Liquidation Proceeds
after such reimbursement exceed the unpaid principal balance of the related
Mortgage Loan, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the
applicable Mortgage Rate less the applicable Servicing Fee and the Master
Servicing Fee for such Mortgage Loan to the Due Date next succeeding the
date of
its receipt of such Liquidation Proceeds, to pay to itself out of such excess
the amount of any unpaid assumption fees, late payment charges or other
Mortgagor charges on the related Mortgage Loan and to retain any excess
remaining thereafter as additional servicing compensation, it being understood,
in the case of any such reimbursement or payment, that such Master Servicer’s or
Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the
Certificateholders;
(iv) to
reimburse itself or any Servicer for expenses incurred by and recoverable
by or
reimbursable to it or such Servicer pursuant to Section 9.04, 9.05, 9.06,
9.16
or 9.22(a) or pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement, and to reimburse
itself for any expenses reimbursable to it pursuant to Section
10.01(c);
(v) to
pay to
the applicable Person, with respect to each Mortgage Loan or REO Property
acquired in respect thereof that has been repurchased by such Person pursuant
to
this Agreement, all amounts received thereon and not distributed on the date
on
which the related repurchase was effected, and to pay to the applicable Person
any Advances and Servicing Advances to the extent specified in the definition
of
Purchase Price, any FPD Premium, or any amounts paid by LBH for shortfalls
in
the Purchase Price for repurchases of First Payment Default Mortgage Loans
pursuant to Section 1.04(f) of the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement relating
to the
Seller paying the difference if the FPD Purchase Price is less than the Purchase
Price;
71
(vi) to
pay to
itself income earned on the investment of funds deposited in the Collection
Account;
(vii) to
make
payments to the Trustee for deposit into the Certificate Account in the amounts
and in the manner provided for in Section 4.01(c);
(viii) to
make
distributions of any Retained Interest to the Retained Interest Holder on
each
Distribution Date (other than any Retained Interest not deposited into the
Collection Account in accordance with Section 4.01(d)(iii));
(ix) to
make
payment to itself, the Trustee and others pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement;
(x) to
withdraw funds deposited in error in the Collection Account;
(xi) to
clear
and terminate the Collection Account pursuant to Section 7.02;
(xii) to
reimburse the Trustee and a successor Master Servicer (solely in its capacity
as
successor Master Servicer), for any fee or advance occasioned by a termination
of the Master Servicer, and the assumption of such duties by the Trustee
or a
successor Master Servicer appointed by the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.14,
in
each case to the extent not reimbursed by the terminated Master Servicer,
it
being understood, in the case of any such reimbursement or payment, that
the
right of the successor Master Servicer or the Trustee thereto shall be prior
to
the rights of the Certificateholders; and
(xiii) to
reimburse any Servicer for such amounts as are due thereto under the applicable
Servicing Agreement and have not been retained by or paid to such Servicer
to
the extent provided in such Servicing Agreement.
In
the
event that the Master Servicer fails on any Master Servicer Remittance Date
to
remit to the Trustee any amounts required to be so remitted to the Trustee
pursuant to subclause (vii) on such date, the Master Servicer shall pay the
Trustee, for the account of the Trustee, interest calculated at the “prime rate”
(as published in the “Money Rates” section of The
Wall Street Journal)
on such
amounts not timely remitted for the period from and including that Master
Servicer Remittance Date through the date such funds are remitted to and
received by the Trustee.
72
In
connection with withdrawals pursuant to subclauses (i), (iii), (iv) and (vi)
above, the Master Servicer’s or Servicer’s entitlement thereto is limited to
collections or other recoveries on the related Mortgage Loan, except as provided
herein. The Master Servicer shall therefore keep and maintain a separate
accounting for each Mortgage Loan it master services for the purpose of
justifying any withdrawal from the Collection Account it maintains pursuant
to
subclauses (i), (iii), (iv) and (vi) above.

service desk and indicating such. The Trustee shall have the right to change
the
way such statements are distributed in order to make such distribution more
convenient and/or more accessible to the above parties and the Trustee shall
provide timely and adequate notification to all above parties regarding any

75
The
foregoing information and reports shall be prepared and determined by the
Trustee based solely on Mortgage Loan data provided to the Trustee by the
Master
Servicer (in a format attached hereto as Exhibit V or in such other format
mutually agreed to by the Trustee and the Master Servicer) no later than
2:00
p.m. Eastern Time four Business Days prior to the Distribution Date (or such
other time period set forth in Section 9.23(b)). In preparing or furnishing
Mortgage Loan data to the Trustee, the Master Servicer shall be entitled
to rely
conclusively on the accuracy of the information or data regarding the Mortgage
Loans (including any First Payment Default Mortgage Loan) and the related
REO
Property that has been provided to the Master Servicer by each Servicer,
and the
Master Servicer shall not be obligated to verify, recompute, reconcile or
recalculate any such information or data. In preparing or furnishing the
foregoing information to the Certificateholders, the Trustee shall be entitled
to rely conclusively on the accuracy and completeness of the information
and
data (i) regarding the Mortgage Loans and the related REO Property, that
has
been provided to the Trustee by the Master Servicer, and (ii) regarding the
Cap
Agreements, that has been provided to the Trustee by the Cap Counterparty,
and
the Trustee shall not be obligated to verify, recompute, reconcile or
recalculate any such information or data. The Trustee shall be entitled to
conclusively rely on the Mortgage Loan data provided by the Master Servicer
and
shall have no liability for any errors or omissions in such Mortgage Loan
data.
(b) Upon
the
reasonable advance written request of any Certificateholder that is a savings
and loan, bank or insurance company, which request, if received by the Trustee,
will be promptly forwarded to the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall
provide, or cause to be provided, (or, to the extent that such information
or
documentation is not required to be provided by a Servicer under the applicable
Servicing Agreement, shall use reasonable efforts to obtain such information
and
documentation from such Servicer, and provide) to such Certificateholder
such
reports and access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage
Loans
as such Certificateholder may reasonably deem necessary to comply with
applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision or its successor
or
other regulatory authorities with respect to investment in the Certificates;
provided,
however,
that
the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by such Certificateholder
for such Master Servicer’s actual expenses incurred in providing such reports
and access.
(c) Within
90
days, or such shorter period as may be required by statute or regulation,
after
the end of each calendar year, the Trustee shall make available to each Person
who at any time during the calendar year was a Certificateholder of record,
a
report summarizing the items provided to Certificateholders pursuant to Section
4.03(a)(i) and (ii) on an annual basis as may be required to enable such
Holders
to prepare their federal income tax returns. Such information shall include
the
amount of original issue discount accrued on each Class of Certificates and
information regarding the expenses of the Trust Fund. The Trustee shall be
deemed to have satisfied this requirement if it forwards such information
in any
other format permitted by the Code. The Master Servicer shall provide the
Trustee with such information (to the extent available to the Master Servicer
pursuant to this Agreement and each Servicing Agreement) as is necessary
for the
Trustee to prepare such reports (and the Trustee may rely solely upon such
information).
76
(d) The
Trustee shall, to the extent reasonably available, furnish any other information
that is required by the Code and regulations thereunder to be made available
to
Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall, to the extent reasonably
available, provide the Trustee with such information as is necessary for
the
Trustee to prepare such reports (and the Trustee may rely solely upon such
information).
(e) So
long
as not prohibited by applicable law, the Master Servicer shall provide to
the
Depositor or to any party designated by the Depositor, as promptly as
practicable upon the Depositor’s request, any and all loan-level information
that the Depositor may request in any format reasonably requested by the
Depositor.
Section
4.04. Certificate
Account.
(a) The
Trustee shall establish and maintain in its name, as Trustee, a trust account
(the “Certificate Account”), entitled “Certificate Account, U.S. Bank National
Association, as Trustee, in trust for the benefit of the Holders of Xxxxxx
Mortgage Trust Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-6” until
disbursed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Certificate Account
shall
be an Eligible Account. If the existing Certificate Account ceases to be
an
Eligible Account, the Trustee shall establish a new Certificate Account that
is
an Eligible Account within 30 calendar days and transfer all funds on deposit
in
such existing Certificate Account into such new Certificate Account. The
Certificate Account shall relate solely to the Certificates issued hereunder
and
funds in the Certificate Account shall be held separate and apart from and
shall
not be commingled with any other monies including, without limitation, other
monies of the Trustee held under this Agreement.
(b) The
Trustee shall cause to be deposited into the Certificate Account on the day
on
which, or, if such day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately
following the day on which, any monies are remitted by the Master Servicer
to
the Trustee, all such amounts.
(c) The
Trustee shall make withdrawals from the Certificate Account only for the
following purposes:
(i) to
withdraw amounts deposited in the Certificate Account in error;
(ii) to
pay
itself any investment income earned with respect to funds in the Certificate
Account invested in Eligible Investments as set forth in subsection (d) below,
and to make payments to itself or the Custodians prior to making distributions
pursuant to Section 5.02 for any expenses or other indemnification owing
to the
Trustee and others pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or the Custodial
Agreements;
77
(iii) to
make
payments of the Master Servicing Fee (to the extent not already withheld
or
withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Master Servicer) to the Master
Servicer;
(iv) to
make
distributions to the Certificateholders pursuant to Article V; and
(v) to
clear
and terminate the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 7.02.
(d) The
Trustee may invest, or cause to be invested, funds held in the Certificate
Account, which funds, if invested, shall be invested in Eligible Investments
(which may be obligations of the Trustee or its affiliates described in
paragraph (viii) of the definition thereof). All such investments must be
payable on demand or mature no later than the next Distribution Date, and
shall
not be sold or disposed of prior to their maturity. All such Eligible
Investments will be made in the name of the Trustee (in its capacity as such)
or
its nominee. All income and gain realized from any such investment shall
be
compensation for the Trustee and shall be subject to its withdrawal on order
from time to time. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such
investments shall be paid by the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account
out of its own funds, without any right of reimbursement therefor, immediately
as realized. Funds held in the Certificate Account that are not invested
shall
be held uninvested.
ARTICLE
V
DISTRIBUTIONS
TO HOLDERS OF CERTIFICATES
Section
5.01. Distributions
Generally.
(a) Subject
to Section 7.01 respecting (a) the final distribution on the Certificates
and
(b) distributions on the Lower Tier REMIC I Uncertificated Regular Interests,
on
each Distribution Date the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall make distributions
in accordance with this Article V. Such distributions shall be made by wire
transfer if the Certificateholder has provided the Trustee with wire
instructions or by check mailed to the address of such Certificateholder
as it
appears in the books of the Trustee if the Certificateholder has not provided
the Trustee with wire instructions in immediately available funds to an account
specified in the request and at the expense of such Certificateholder;
provided,
however,
that the
final distribution in respect of any Certificate shall be made only upon
presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the applicable Corporate
Trust
Office; provided,
further,
that the
foregoing provisions shall not apply to any Class of Certificates as long
as
such Certificate remains a Book-Entry Certificate in which case all payments
made shall be made through the Clearing Agency and its Clearing Agency
Participants. Notwithstanding such final distribution of principal of any
of the
Certificates, each Residual Certificate will remain outstanding until the
termination of each related REMIC and the payment in full of all other amounts
due with respect to such Residual Certificate and at such time such final
payment in retirement of any such Residual Certificate will be made only
upon
presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office
of
the Trustee. If any payment required to be made on the Certificates or the
Lower
Tier REMIC I Uncertificated Regular Interests is to be made on a day that
is not
a Business Day, then such payment will be made on the next succeeding Business
Day.
78
(b) All
distributions or allocations made with respect to Certificateholders within
each
Class on each Distribution Date shall be allocated among the outstanding
Certificates in such Class equally in proportion to their respective initial
Certificate Principal Amounts (or initial Notional Amounts).
Section
5.02. Distributions
from the Certificate Account.
(a) On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee (or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Trustee)

Holders of record of each Class of Certificates, in the following order of
priority:
(i) from
the
Available Distribution Amount for each Collateral Group, to payment of Accrued
Certificate Interest on each Class of Senior Certificates (other than the
Class
AP Certificates) and any interest bearing component relating to such Collateral
Group (reduced, in each case, by any Net Prepayment Interest Shortfalls relating
to such Collateral Group allocated to that Class of Certificates or component
thereof on that Distribution Date, as described herein); provided,
however,

any shortfall in available amounts for that Collateral Group shall be allocated
among the Classes of Senior Certificates and any such component related to
that
Collateral Group in proportion to the amount of such interest (as so reduced)
that would otherwise be distributable thereon;
(ii) from
the
Available Distribution Amount for each Collateral Group, to payment of any
outstanding Interest Shortfalls on each Class of Senior Certificates (other
than
the Class AP Certificates) and any interest-bearing component thereof relating
to that Collateral Group; provided,
however,
that any
shortfall in available amounts for that Collateral Group shall be allocated
among the Classes of Senior Certificates and any such component related to
that
Collateral Group in proportion to the amount of such interest (as so reduced)
that would otherwise be distributable thereon;
(iii) from
the
remaining Available Distribution Amount for each Collateral Group to the
Senior
Certificates (other than any related Notional Certificates) as set forth
in the
Senior Principal Priorities attached as Exhibit O hereto;
(iv) to
the
Class AP Certificates, to the extent of the remaining Available Distribution
Amount for Collateral Groups 1, the AP Deferred Amount for such Distribution
Date; provided,
however,
that (x)
distributions pursuant to this priority (iv) shall not exceed the aggregate
of
the Subordinate Principal Distribution Amounts for such Collateral Groups
for
such date; and (y) such amounts will not reduce the Class Principal Amount
of
the Class AP Certificates;
79
(v) from
the
remaining Available Distribution Amounts for Collateral Groups 1 and 2, to
the
Subordinate Certificates, subject to the prior distribution of amounts pursuant
to Section 5.02(f), in the following order of priority:

(K) to
the
Class B4 Certificates, any Interest Shortfall for such Class on such

such
Class’s Subordinate Class Percentage of the Subordinate Principal Distribution
Amount for each Collateral Group on such Distribution Date, except as provided
in Section 5.02(d), until the Class Principal Amount thereof has been reduced
to
zero;
(P) to
the
Class B6 Certificates, the Accrued Certificate Interest thereon for such
Distribution Date, as reduced by such Class’s allocable share of any Net
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for such Distribution Date;
(Q) to
the
Class B6 Certificates, any Interest Shortfall for such Class on such

Class’s Subordinate Class Percentage of the Subordinate Principal Distribution
Amount for each Collateral Group on such Distribution Date, except as provided
in Section 5.02(d), until the Class Principal Amount thereof has been reduced
to
zero.
(b) Net
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for each Collateral Group shall be allocated
among the Senior Certificates related to such Collateral Group (including
any
interest-bearing Component thereof and excluding the Class AP Certificates)
and
the Subordinate Certificates pro
rata
based on
(i) in the case of the related Non-AP Senior Certificates (and any such
Component), the Accrued Certificate Interest otherwise distributable thereon,
and (ii) in the case of the Subordinate Certificates, interest accrued on
the
related Apportioned Principal Balances.
81
(c) After
the
applicable Credit Support Depletion Date, the Senior Distribution Amount
with
respect to Collateral Groups 1 and 2 remaining after distribution of interest
to
the related Non-AP Senior Certificates on such date shall be distributed
among
the related Classes of Senior Certificates proportionately, on the basis
of
their respective Class Principal Amounts immediately prior to such Distribution
Date, regardless of the priorities and amounts set forth in Section
5.02(a)(iii).
(d) With
respect to each Class of Subordinate Certificates (other than the Class B1
Certificates), if on any Distribution Date the Credit Support Percentage
for
that Class is less than the Original Credit Support Percentage for such Class,
then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.02(a), no
distribution of amounts described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of the definition
of
the related Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount will be made to any
Subordinate Certificates of lower priority. Any such amounts will be distributed
proportionately to such Class of Subordinate Certificates entitled to
distributions in respect such clauses (ii) and (iii) of the definition of
Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount on such date. Any amount not
distributed in respect of any Class on any Distribution Date pursuant to
the
immediately preceding paragraph shall be allocated among the remaining Classes
of Subordinate Certificates in proportion to their respective Class Principal
Amounts.
(e) On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute to the Holder of the Class
R
Certificate any amounts remaining in REMIC III for such Distribution Date
after
application of all amounts described in paragraph (a) of this Section 5.02.
Any
distributions pursuant to this paragraph (e) shall not reduce the Class
Principal Amount of the Class R Certificate.
(f) On
each
Distribution Date prior to the Credit Support Depletion Date but after the
date
on which the total Certificate Principal Amount of the Non-AP Senior Certificate
or Certificates relating to either Collateral Group 1 or 2 have been reduced
to
zero, amounts otherwise distributable as principal on each Class of Subordinate
Certificates pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(iv), in reverse order of priority,
in
respect of such Class’s Subordinate Class Percentage of the Subordinate
Principal Distribution Amount relating to such retired Certificates, shall
be
distributed as principal to such Non-AP Senior Certificates remaining
outstanding pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(iii) until the Class Principal Amounts
thereof have been reduced to zero, provided
that on
such Distribution Date (a) the Aggregate Subordinate Percentage for Collateral
Groups 1 and 2 for such Distribution Date is less than 200% of such Aggregate
Subordinate Percentage for the Subordinate Certificates, as of the Cut-off
Date
or (b) the average outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in
the
Collateral Groups that are delinquent 60 days or more for the last six months
(including for this purpose any REO Property or Mortgage Loans in foreclosure
or
bankruptcy and the Scheduled Payments that would have been due on Mortgage
Loans
with respect to which the related Mortgaged Property has been acquired by
the
Trust Fund if the related Mortgage Loan had remained in existence) as a
percentage of the related Group Subordinate Amount is greater than or equal
to
50%.
82
On
each
Distribution Date on which the Class Principal Amounts of the Non-AP Senior
Certificates relating to a Collateral Group has been reduced to zero, any
amounts distributable pursuant to this Section 5.02(f) will be allocated,
as to
each applicable Class of Subordinate Certificates, in proportion to such
Class’s
Subordinate Class Percentage of the Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount
for the Collateral Group relating to each such retired Senior
Certificate.
(g) On
any
Distribution Date on which the Non-AP Senior Certificates relating to any
Collateral Group constitute an Undercollateralized Class or Classes, all
amounts
otherwise distributable as principal on the Subordinate Certificates, in
reverse
order of priority (other than amounts necessary to pay any AP Deferred Amounts
or unpaid Interest Shortfalls) (or, following the Credit Support Depletion
Date,
such other amounts described in the immediately following sentence), will
be
distributed as principal to such Undercollateralized Class or Classes pursuant
to Section 5.02(a)(iii), until the total Certificate Principal Amount of
the
Undercollateralized Class or Classes equals the Non-AP Pool Balance of the
related Collateral Group, (such distribution, an “Undercollateralization
Distribution”). In the event that any Non-AP Senior Certificate or Certificates
constitute an Undercollateralized Class or Classes on any Distribution Date
following the Credit Support Depletion Date, Undercollateralization
Distributions will be made from any Available Distribution Amount not related
to
an Undercollateralized Class or Classes remaining after all required amounts
have been distributed to the Non-AP Senior Certificates related to such other
Collateral Groups. In addition, the amount of any unpaid Interest Shortfalls
with respect to an Undercollateralized Class on any Distribution Date (including
any Interest Shortfalls for such Distribution Date) will be distributed to
such
Undercollateralized Class or Classes prior to the payment of any related
Undercollateralization Distributions from amounts otherwise distributable
as
principal on the Subordinate Certificates, in reverse order of priority (or,
following the Credit Support Depletion Date, as provided in the preceding
sentence).
(h) On
each
Distribution Date occurring after a Section 7.01(c) Purchase Event but on
or
prior to a Trust Fund Termination Event, the Trustee (or the Paying Agent
on
behalf of the Trustee), shall withdraw from the Certificate Account the
Available Distribution Amount (to the extent such amount is on deposit in
the
Certificate Account), and shall allocate such amount to the interests issued
in
respect of the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests created
pursuant to this Agreement and shall distribute such amount first, to the
Trustee, any amounts reimbursable pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(i) and not
previously reimbursed to the Trustee, second, to the LTURI-holder, any remaining
Available Distribution Amount to the extent payable on the Lower Tier REMIC
1
Uncertificated Regular Interests as provided in the Preliminary Statement,
and
third, to the Class LT-R Certificates.
(i)
[Reserved]
(j) On
each
Distribution Date, all FPD Premiums to which the Trust Fund is entitled received
with respect to a First Payment Default Mortgage Loan, shall be distributed
to
the Class 1-A5 Certificates.
83
(k) For
federal income tax purposes, the Trustee shall treat the beneficial owners
of
the Class 1-A5 Certificates (an “FPD Certificate”) as having entered into a
cash-settled option contract. Pursuant to each cash-settled option contract,
each FPD Certificate has the right to receive amounts in respect of FPD
Premiums. Any payments to an FPD Certificate in light of the foregoing shall
not
be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning
of Code Section 860G(a)(1). Notwithstanding the priority and sources of payments
set forth in Article V or otherwise, the Trustee shall account for all
distributions in respect of FPD Premiums on an FPD Certificate as set forth
in
this section. For purposes of providing tax information reporting with respect
to the FPD Certificates, the Trustee shall treat each cash-settled option
contract described in this paragraph as having a value of $10,000 as of the
Closing Date.
(l) On
each
Distribution Date following the date on which the Class Principal Amount
of the
Class B2 or Class B3 Certificates has been reduced to zero, such Classes
shall
remain outstanding and the Trustee shall distribute to each such Retired
Subordinate Class any Additional Interest Amount for such date and Class.
Such
amounts shall be distributed from the Available Distribution Amount in the
same
order of priority that Accrued Certificate Interest otherwise would be
distributable to such Class.
Section
5.03. Allocation
of Realized Losses.
(a) On
any
Distribution Date, (i) the related Applicable Fraction of the principal portion
of any Realized Loss in respect of a Mortgage Loan in Collateral Group P
will be
allocated to and reduce the Certificate Principal Amount of the Class AP
Certificates until the Certificate Principal Amount thereof has been reduced
to
zero; and (ii) the related Applicable Fraction of the principal portion of
each
Realized Loss (other than any Excess Loss) in respect of a Mortgage Loan
in each
Collateral Group, shall be allocated in the following order of
priority:
first,
to the
Class B6 Certificates, in reduction of their Class Principal Amount, until
the
Class Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;
second,
to the
Class B5 Certificates, in reduction of their Class Principal Amount, until
the
Class Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;
third,
to the
Class B4 Certificates, in reduction of their Class Principal Amount, until
the
Class Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;
fourth,
to the
Class B3 Certificates, in reduction of their Class Principal Amount, until
the
Class Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;
fifth,
to the
Class B2 Certificates, in reduction of their Class Principal Amount, until
the
Class Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;
sixth,
to the
Class B1 Certificates, in reduction of their Class Principal Amount, until
the
Class Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero; and
84
seventh,
to the
related Classes of Non-AP Senior Certificates, pro
rata,
in
accordance with their respective Class Principal Amounts provided,
however,
that
any Realized Loss allocated (1) to the Class 1-A1 Certificates shall instead
be
allocated to the Class 1-A2 Certificates until the Class Principal Amount
thereof has been reduced to zero, (2) to the Class 1-A7 Certificates shall
instead be allocated to the Class 1-A3 Certificates until the Class Principal
Amount thereof has been reduced to zero, (3) to the Class 1-A8 Certificates
shall instead be allocated to the Class 1-A6 Certificates until the Class
Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero and (4) to the Class 2-A1
Certificates shall instead be allocated to the Class 2-A2 Certificates until
the
Class Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero.
In
addition, any Realized Loss (including any Excess Loss) allocated to an Exchange
Class shall be proportionately allocated to the related Exchangeable Class
or
Classes.
(b) With
respect to any Distribution Date, the related Applicable Fraction of the
principal portion of any Excess Loss in respect of a Mortgage Loan in Collateral
Group 1 or 2 shall be allocated, pro
rata,
to the
Subordinate Certificates and related Non-AP Senior Certificate or Certificates
on the basis of the Apportioned Principal Balances of the Classes of Subordinate
Certificates and Class Principal Amounts of the Non-AP Senior Certificates
(and
in the same manner as specified in clause seventh
of
subsection (a) above).
(c) Any
Realized Losses allocated to a Class of Certificates pursuant to Section
5.03(a)
shall be allocated among the Certificates of such Class in proportion to
their
respective Certificate Principal Amounts. Any allocation of Realized Losses
pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall be accomplished by reducing the Certificate
Principal Amounts of the related Certificates on the related Distribution
Date
in accordance with Section 5.03(d).
(d) Realized
Losses allocated in accordance with this Section 5.03 shall be allocated
on the
Distribution Date in the month following the month in which such loss was
incurred and, in the case of the principal portion thereof, after giving
effect
to distributions made on such Distribution Date, except that the aggregate
amount of Realized Losses to be allocated to the Class AP Certificates on
such
Distribution Date will be taken into account in determining distributions
in
respect of any related AP Deferred Amount for such date.
(e) On
each
Distribution Date, the Subordinate Certificate Writedown Amount for such
date
shall effect a corresponding reduction in the Class Principal Amount of the
lowest ranking Class of outstanding Subordinate Certificates, which reduction
shall occur on such Distribution Date after giving effect to distributions
made
on such Distribution Date.
Section
5.04. Advances
by the Master Servicer and the Trustee.
85
(a) Advances
shall be made in respect of each Master Servicer Remittance Date as provided
herein. If, on any Determination Date, the Master Servicer determines that
any
Scheduled Payments due during the related Due Period (other than Balloon
Payments) have not been received, the Master Servicer shall, or cause the
applicable Servicer to, advance such amount on the Master Servicer Remittance
Date immediately following such Determination Date, less an amount, if any,
to
be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate to be delivered to the Trustee on such
Determination Date, which if advanced the Master Servicer or the applicable
Servicer has determined would not be recoverable from amounts received with
respect to such Mortgage Loan, including late payments, Liquidation Proceeds,
Insurance Proceeds or otherwise. If the Master Servicer determines that an
Advance is required, it shall on the Master Servicer Remittance Date immediately
following such Determination Date either (i) remit to the Trustee from its
own
funds (or funds advanced by the applicable Servicer) for deposit in the
Certificate Account immediately available funds in an amount equal to such
Advance, (ii) cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of the
Collection Account that funds in such account being held for future distribution
or withdrawal have been, as permitted by this Section 5.04, used by the Master
Servicer to make such Advance, and remit such immediately available funds
to the
Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account or (iii) make Advances in
the
form of any combination of clauses (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of
such
Advance. Any funds being held in the Collection Account for future distribution
to Certificateholders and so used shall be replaced by the Master Servicer
from
its own funds by remittance to the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate
Account on or before any future Master Servicer Remittance Date to the extent
that funds in the Certificate Account on such Master Servicer Remittance
Date
shall be less than payments to Certificateholders required to be made on
the
related Distribution Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
in
the event the Master Servicer determines in its reasonable judgment that
an
Advance is non-recoverable, the Master Servicer shall be under no obligation
to
make such Advance. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon
any
determination by the Master Servicer that an Advance, if made, would constitute
a non-recoverable advance. The Master Servicer and each Servicer shall be
entitled to be reimbursed from the Collection Account for all Advances made
by
it as provided in Section 4.02.
(b) In
the
event that the Master Servicer fails for any reason to make an Advance required
to be made pursuant to this Section 5.04, the Trustee, solely in its capacity
as
successor Master Servicer pursuant to Section 6.14, shall, on or before the
related Distribution Date, deposit in the Certificate Account an amount equal
to
the excess of (a) Advances required to be made by the Master Servicer that
would
have been deposited in such Certificate Account over (b) the amount of any
Advance made by the Master Servicer and Servicers with respect to such
Distribution Date; provided,
however,
that
the Trustee shall be required to make such Advance only if it is not prohibited
by law from doing so and it has determined that such Advance would be
recoverable from amounts to be received with respect to such Mortgage Loan,
including late payments, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, or otherwise.
The Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Certificate Account
for
Advances made by it pursuant to this Section 5.04 as if it were the Master
Servicer.
86
Section
5.05. Compensating
Interest Payments.
The
Master Servicer shall not be responsible for making any Compensating Interest
Payments not made by the Servicers. Any Compensating Interest Payments made
by
the Servicers shall be a component of the Available Distribution
Amount.
Section
5.06. Distributions
from the Supplemental Prepayment Trust.
A
separate trust is hereby established (the “Supplemental Prepayment Trust”), the
corpus of which shall be held by the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of
the
Class 1-A9 and Class 1-A10, Certificateholders. The assets of the Supplemental
Prepayment Trust shall consist of (i) Soft Prepayment Penalties and Hard
Prepayment Penalties in respect of the Designated Mortgage Loans received
by the
Trustee and identified as such. Such assets shall be held in an Eligible
Account
separate and apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other monies,
including, without limitation, other monies of the Trustee held pursuant
to this
Agreement. Distributions from the Supplemental Prepayment Trust shall be
made
concurrently as follows:
(a) On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee (or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Trustee),
shall withdraw from the Supplemental Prepayment Trust, any Soft Prepayment
Penalties remitted by the Master Servicer to the Trustee in respect of the
Designated Mortgage Loans on the preceding Master Servicer Remittance Date,
and
shall distribute such amount to the Holders of the Class 1-A10 Certificates
(in
respect of the Class P Component thereof), regardless of whether the Class
Notional Amount of the Class I Component thereof has been reduced to zero.
(b) On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee (or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Trustee),
shall withdraw from the Supplemental Prepayment Trust, any Hard Prepayment
Penalties remitted by the Master Servicer to the Trustee in respect of the
Designated Mortgage Loans on the preceding Master Servicer Remittance Date,
and
shall distribute such amount to the Holders of the Class 1-A9 Certificates
(in
respect of the Class P Component thereof), regardless of whether the Class
Notional Amount of the Class I Component thereof has been reduced to
zero.
The
Trustee (or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Trustee) shall make the
distributions pursuant to this Section 5.06 in respect of the Class P Components
of the Class 1-A9 and Class 1-A10 Certificates until the earlier to occur
of (1)
the termination of the trust fund to which the Designated Mortgage Loans
were
conveyed or (2) the Final Scheduled Distribution Date.
It
is the
intent of the parties hereto that the segregated pool of assets consisting
of
any collections in respect of the amounts payable to the Class P Components
(other than in the case of the Class 1-A9 and Class 1-A10 Certificates)
constitutes, for federal income tax purposes, a grantor trust as described
in
Subpart E of Part I of Subchapter J of the Code and Treasury Regulation
§301.7701-4(c)(2).
Section
5.07. Supplemental
Interest Trust.
The
Trustee is hereby directed by the Depositor to accept the Cap Agreements
on
behalf of a trust, separate from the Trust Fund, for the benefit of the Class
1-A4 and Class X Certificateholders in the form presented to it by the Depositor
and shall have no responsibility for the contents, adequacy or sufficiency
of
the Cap Agreements, including without limitation, the representations and
warranties contained therein.
87
Section
5.08. The
Reserve Funds.
(a) On
the
Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain in the name of the
Trustee, in the Supplemental Interest Trust for the benefit of the holders
of
the Class 1-A4 and Class X Certificates, the Class 1-A4 Reserve Fund, into
which
the Depositor shall deposit $1,000. The Trustee shall hold the Class 1-A4
Cap
Agreement as an asset in the Class 1-A4 Reserve Fund. The Class 1-A4 Reserve
Fund shall be an Eligible Account, and funds on deposit therein shall be
held
separate and apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys,
including without limitation other moneys of the Trustee held pursuant to
this
Agreement. The Class 1-A4 Reserve Fund shall not be an asset of any REMIC
or the
Trust Fund established hereby. The Trustee shall deposit promptly upon receipt
in the Class 1-A4 Reserve Fund any amounts received from the Class 1-A4 Cap
Agreement.
(b) On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee, on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust,
shall distribute amounts on deposit in the Class 1-A4 Reserve Fund, first,
to the
Holders of the Class 1-A4 Certificates, in an amount up to any Basis Risk
Shortfalls thereon and second,
to the
Holders of the Class 1-A4 Certificates, in an amount up to any Unpaid Basis
Risk
Shortfalls thereon. Any remaining amounts shall be retained in the Class
1-A4
Reserve Fund for distribution on future Distribution Dates.
(c) Upon
the
earliest to occur of (i) the Distribution Date on which the Class Principal
Amount of the Class 1-A4 Certificates is reduced to zero, (ii) a Section
7.01(c)
Purchase Event or (iii) a Trust Fund Termination Event, any amounts remaining
in
the Class 1-A4 Reserve Fund and any future amounts payable under the Class
1-A4
Cap Agreement shall be distributed to the Class X
Certificateholder.
(d) Funds
in
the Class 1-A4 Reserve Fund shall be invested in Eligible Investments. The
Class
X Certificates shall evidence ownership of the Class 1-A4 Reserve Fund for
federal income tax purposes and LBH on behalf of the Holders thereof shall
direct the Trustee, in writing, as to investment of amounts on deposit therein.
LBH shall be liable for any losses incurred on such investments. In the absence
of written instructions from LBH as to investment of funds on deposit in
the
Class 1-A4 Reserve
Fund, such funds shall remain uninvested.
The Trustee shall account for the Supplemental Interest Trust as a disregarded
entity as long as there is a single holder of the Class X Certificates and,
in
no event, as an asset of any REMIC created pursuant to this
Agreement.
(e) For
federal income tax purposes, the Trustee shall treat the holders of the Class
1-A4 Certificates as having entered into a notional principal contract with
the
holders of the Class X Certificates. Pursuant to such notional principal
contract, all holders of the Class X Certificates shall be treated as having
agreed to pay Basis Risk Shortfalls and Unpaid Basis Risk Shortfalls to the
holders of the Class 1-A4 Certificates. Any payments to the Class 1-A4
Certificates in light of the foregoing shall not be payments with respect
to a
“regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1).
Notwithstanding the priority and sources of payments set forth in Article
V
hereof or otherwise, the Trustee shall account for all distributions on the
Class 1-A4 Certificates as set forth in this section. For purposes of providing
tax information reporting with respect to the Class 1-A4 Certificates, the
Trustee shall treat the notional principal contract described in this paragraph
as having a value equal to the Notional Principal Contract Value as of the
Closing Date.

THE TRUSTEE; EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Section
6.01. Duties
of Trustee.
(a) The
Trustee, except during the continuance of an Event of Default, undertakes
to
perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in
this
Agreement. Any permissive right of the Trustee provided for in this Agreement
shall not be construed as a duty of the Trustee. If an Event of Default has
occurred and has not otherwise been cured or waived, 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 its exercise as a prudent Person would exercise
or
use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs, unless
the Trustee is acting as Master Servicer, in which case it shall use the
same
degree of care and skill as the Master Servicer hereunder.
(b) The
Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions,
reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee
which
are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they are on their face
in the
form required by this Agreement; provided,
however,
that the
Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such
resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other
instrument furnished by the Master Servicer, or any Servicer to the Trustee
pursuant to this Agreement, and shall not be required to recalculate or verify
any numerical information furnished to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement.
Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, if any such resolution,
certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument
is
found not to conform on its face to the form required by this Agreement in
a
material manner the Trustee shall notify the Person providing such resolutions,
certificates, statements, opinions, reports or other documents of the
non-conformity, and if the instrument is not corrected to the Trustee’s
satisfaction, the Trustee will provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders
and will, at the expense of the Trust Fund, which expense shall be reasonable
given the scope and nature of the required action, take such further action
as
directed by the Certificateholders.
(c) The
Trustee shall not have any liability arising out of or in connection with
this
Agreement, except for its negligence or willful misconduct. No provision
of this

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

and
such notice references the Holders of the Certificates and this
Agreement;
(iii) For
all
purposes under this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice
of
any Event of Default (other than resulting from a failure by the Master Servicer
to (i) remit funds (or make Advances) when required to do so or (ii) furnish
information to the Trustee when required to do so) unless a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any
event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at its
Corporate Trust Office, and such notice references the Holders of the
Certificates and this Agreement;
(iv) No
provision of this Agreement shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its
own
funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any
of
its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers,
if it
shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds
or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured
to
it; and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event
require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance
of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement;

however,
that the
Trustee shall promptly remit to the Master Servicer upon receipt any such
complaint, claim, demand, notice or other document (i) which is delivered
to the
address of the Trustee provided in Section 11.07 and makes reference to this
series of Certificate or this Agreement, (ii) of which a Responsible Officer
has
actual knowledge, and (iii) which contains information sufficient to permit
the
Trustee to make a determination that the real property to which such document

suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
direction of any the Certificateholders of any Class holding Certificates

available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred upon
the
Trustee under this Agreement.

(f) The
Trustee shall not be required to perform services under this Agreement, or
to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability for the
performance of any of its duties hereunder or the exercise of any of its
rights
or powers if there is reasonable ground for believing that the timely payment
of
its fees and expenses or the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity
against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none
of the
provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee
to
perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the
obligations of the Master Servicer or any Servicer under this Agreement or
any
Servicing Agreement except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall

Fund or
the Supplemental Interest Trust other than from funds available in the
Certificate Account. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee shall
not
have any duty to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or
certificates of the Master Servicer, or any 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.

the
pertinent facts.

anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Trustee nor any Paying
Agent shall be liable for special, indirect or consequential losses or damages
of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, lost profits), even
if
the Trustee or such Paying Agent, as applicable, has been advised of the
likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of
action.
91
(k) For
so
long as the Depositor is subject to the Exchange Act reporting with respect
to
the Certificates, the Trustee shall give prior written notice to the Sponsor,
