This
TRUST AGREEMENT, dated as of March 1, 2007 (the “Agreement”), is by and among
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, a national banking 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 hereunder 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
Seller in the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement and 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 and, to the extent provided herein, any NIMS
Insurer. The Depositor, the Trustee 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 (other than (i)
the
Basis Risk Reserve Fund, (ii) the rights to receive Prepayment Premiums
distributable to the Class P Certificates and the Class P Reserve Funds, (iii)
the Class X Account, (iv) the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the Interest
Rate
Cap Account and (v) the Lower Tier Interests) be treated for federal income
tax
purposes as comprising three real estate mortgage investment conduits (each
a
“REMIC” and referred to herein separately as “REMIC AX,” “REMIC 1” and “REMIC
2”). Each Certificate (other than the Grantor Trust Certificates, the Class C
Certificates, the Class R Certificates and the Class P Certificates) represents
ownership of a regular interest in REMIC 2 for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.
In addition, each LIBOR Certificate or MTA Certificate represents the right
to
receive certain payments with respect to Excess Interest as set forth herein.
In
addition, the Class 1-A2A Certificates represent ownership of the Interest
Rate
Cap Agreement. Each Grantor Trust Certificate represents a beneficial interest
in a Grantor Trust holding the related Underlying Interest and certain other
assets for the benefit of the Grantor Trust Certificates. The Class R
Certificate represents ownership of the sole Class of residual interest in
each
of REMIC AX, REMIC 1 and REMIC 2 for purposes of the REMIC
Provisions.
REMIC
2
shall hold as its assets the several Classes of uncertificated REMIC 1 Regular
Interests and each such REMIC 1 Regular Interest is hereby designated as a
regular interest in REMIC 1. REMIC 1 shall hold as its assets the several
Classes of uncertificated REMIC AX Regular Interests and each such REMIC AX
Regular Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC AX. REMIC
AX shall hold as its assets the property of the Trust Fund other than (i) the
Basis Risk Reserve Fund, (ii) the Lower Tier Interests, (iii) the Class X
Account, (iv) the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the Interest Rate Cap Account
and (v) the rights to receive Prepayment Premiums distributable to the Class
P
Certificates and the Class P Reserve Funds.
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 Latest Possible Maturity Date.

The
interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related
Accrual Period) for each of these REMIC 1 Interests is a per annum
rate
equal to the Net Rate which, for purposes of the REMIC Provisions,
shall
be the equivalent of the weighted average of the interest rates on
each of
the REMIC AX Regular Interests; provided however, such weighted average
shall be computed by first (i) for each Distribution Date through
the
Distribution Date in March 2047, capping the rate on the Class LTAX-1AX
Interest at LIBOR plus 0.160% (for each such Distribution Date through
the
Initial Optional Termination Date) or LIBOR plus 0.320% (for each
such
Distribution Date after the Initial Optional Termination Date); (ii)
for
each Distribution Date through the Distribution Date in March 2047,
capping the rate on the Class LTAX-2AX Interest at LIBOR plus 0.200%
(for
each such Distribution Date through the Initial Optional Termination

such
Distribution Date after the Initial Optional Termination Date); and
(iv)
for each Distribution Date, multiplying the rate on each of the Class
LTAX-1Z, Class LTAX-2Z and Class LTAX-3Z Interests by 30 and dividing
it
by the actual number of days in the related Accrual
Period.

LIBOR:
With
respect to the first Accrual Period, the Initial LIBOR Rate. With respect to
each subsequent Accrual Period, a per annum rate determined on the LIBOR
Determination Date in the following manner by the Trustee on the basis of the
“Interest Settlement Rate” set by the British Bankers’ Association (the “BBA”)
for one-month United States dollar deposits, as such rates appear on the
Telerate Page 3750, as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such LIBOR Determination
Date.
If
on
such a LIBOR Determination Date, the BBA’s Interest Settlement Rate does not
appear on the Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m. (London time), or if the
Telerate Page 3750 is not available on such date, the Trustee will obtain such
rate from Reuters’ “page LIBOR 01” or Bloomberg’s page “BBAM.” If such rate is
not published for such LIBOR Determination Date, LIBOR for such date will be
the
most recently published Interest Settlement Rate. In the event that the BBA
no
longer sets an Interest Settlement Rate, the Trustee will designate an
alternative index that has performed, or that the Trustee expects to perform,
in
a manner substantially similar to the BBA’s Interest Settlement Rate. The
Trustee will select a particular index as the alternative index only if it
receives an Opinion of Counsel (a copy of which shall be furnished to any NIMS
Insurer), which opinion shall be an expense reimbursed from the Certificate
Account pursuant to Section 4.04, that the selection of such index will not
cause any of the REMICs to lose their classification as REMICs for federal
income tax purposes.
The
establishment of LIBOR by the Trustee and the Trustee’s subsequent calculation
of the Certificate Interest Rate applicable to the LIBOR Certificates for the
relevant Accrual Period, in the absence of manifest error, will be final and
binding.

the
applicable Custodian on its behalf 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 Master
Servicer and any NIMS Insurer 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 on behalf
of the Trustee, will, for the benefit of Holders of the Certificates and any
NIMS Insurer, 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 Master Servicer and any NIMS
Insurer 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 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 determine whether such 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 the applicable 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.
(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, discovering such Material Defect shall promptly identify the
Mortgage Loan to which such Material Defect relates in the Interim Certification
delivered to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and any NIMS
Insurer. 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, the Transferor, or, if the Transferor does not do so, the
Depositor, shall, if a loss has been incurred with respect to such Mortgage
Loan

constitute a Realized Loss, and such loss is attributable to the failure of
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 Depositor to cure a Material Defect if,
as
determined by the Depositor, upon mutual agreement with the Trustee each 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.
66
(d) Within
180 days following the Closing Date, the Trustee, or the applicable Custodian,
shall deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and any NIMS
Insurer a Final Certification substantially in the form attached as Exhibit

(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.

in this Agreement shall be construed to constitute an assumption by the Trust
Fund, the Trustee, any Custodian or the Certificateholders of any unsatisfied
duty, claim or other liability on any Mortgage Loan or to any
Mortgagor.
(f) Each
of
the parties hereto acknowledges that the applicable Custodian shall perform
the
applicable review of the Mortgage Loans and respective certifications thereof
as
provided in this Section 2.02 and in the applicable Custodial
Agreement.

the representations made pursuant to Sections 1.04(b)(xii), 1.04(b)(xvii),
1.04(b)(xviii), 1.04(b)(ix) and 1.04(b)(xx) of the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement)
shall be their rights to enforce the obligations of the applicable Transferor
under any applicable representation or warranty made by it. Pursuant to the
terms of the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement, the representations and warranties
made by the Seller pursuant to Sections 1.04(b)(xii), 1.04(b)(xvii),
1.04(b)(xviii), 1.04(b)(ix) and 1.04(b)(xx) of the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement
shall be the direct obligations of the Seller. With the exception of the
immediately proceeding sentence, the Seller shall not have any other obligation
or liability with respect to any breach of a representation or warranty made
by
it with respect to the Mortgage Loans sold by it 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 Depositor shall have no
obligation or liability with respect to any breach of any representation or
warranty with respect to the Mortgage Loans (except as set forth in Section
2.03(a)(vi)) under any circumstances.
Section
2.04 Discovery
of Breach.
It
is
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties (i) set forth
in
Section 2.03, (ii) of the Seller set forth in the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement
and assigned to the Depositor by the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Sale
Agreement and to the Trustee by the Depositor hereunder and (iii) of the
Transferor and of the Servicer assigned by the Seller 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, any NIMS
Insurer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of such
representations and warranties that materially and adversely 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 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 Aurora acting in a capacity
as
Master Servicer has actual knowledge thereof. Within 90 days of the discovery
of
a breach of any representation or warranty given to the Trustee by the Depositor
or given by a Transferor or the Seller and assigned to the Trustee, the
Depositor, such Transferor or the Seller, as applicable, 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,
with respect to Mortgage Loans as to which there is a breach of a representation
or warranty set forth in Section 1.04(b)(v) of the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement,
at the purchase price therefor paid by the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Sale
Agreement) 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 discovery of a breach of any representation and warranty of
a
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 Certificateholders. As provided in the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreements,
if a Transferor substitutes a mortgage loan for a Deleted Mortgage Loan pursuant
to the Transfer Agreement and such substitute mortgage loan is not a Qualifying
Substitute Mortgage Loan, then pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Sale
Agreement the Seller will, in exchange for such substitute mortgage loan, (i)
pay to the Trust Fund the applicable Purchase Price for the affected Mortgage
Loan or (ii) within two years of the Closing Date, substitute a Qualifying
Substitute Mortgage Loan.
69
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 the Seller pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement, or by
the
Transferor pursuant to the applicable Transfer Agreement, the principal portion
of the funds received by the Master Servicer in respect of such repurchase
of a
Mortgage Loan will be considered a Principal Prepayment and the Purchase Price
shall be deposited in the Collection Account or a Custodial Account, as
applicable. The Trustee (i) upon receipt of the full amount of the Purchase
Price for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, (ii) upon receipt of a written certification
from the Master Servicer that it has received the full amount of the Purchase
Price for a Deleted Mortgage Loan and has deposited such amount in the
Collection Account or (iii) upon receipt of notification from the applicable
Custodian that it had 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 reassign to
the
Depositor, the Seller or the 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 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 Master Servicer, 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 Master Servicer, 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
an
Adverse REMIC Event.
70
(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 Transferor
or
the Seller, as applicable, 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 with the cooperation of the applicable Servicer,
shall (i) with respect to a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan that is a
Non-MERS Mortgage Loan, cause the Assignment of Mortgage to be recorded by
the
applicable Servicer if required pursuant to Section 2.01(c), or (ii) 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).
(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 and the NIMS Insurer have received an
Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to make the
substitution) that, under current law, such substitution will not result in
an
Adverse REMIC Event.
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 in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in, to and
under, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, the Trust Fund and all proceeds
of any and all property constituting the Trust Fund to secure payment of the
Certificates and (3) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under
applicable law. If such conveyance is deemed to be in respect of a loan and
the
trust created by this Agreement terminates prior to the satisfaction of the
claims of any Person holding any Certificate, the security interest created
hereby shall continue in full force and effect and the Trustee shall be deemed
to be the collateral agent for the benefit of such Person, and all proceeds
shall be distributed as herein provided.
(b) The
Depositor shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such
reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were
deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the other
property described above, such security interest would be deemed to be a
perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and shall
be
maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. The Depositor shall,
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 immediate and intermediate 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 immediate and mediate transferees,
including the Trustee, in the Mortgage Loans. In connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Seller and the Depositor
authorizes its immediate or mediate 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).

the
Trustee by an authorized officer. Each Certificate shall, on original issue,
be
authenticated by the Trustee upon the order of the Depositor upon receipt by
the
Trustee 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 officer
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

the
form of one or more permanent global Certificates in definitive, fully
registered form without interest coupons with the applicable legends set forth
in Exhibit A added to the forms of such Certificates (each, a “Restricted Global
Security”), which shall be deposited on behalf of the subscribers for such
Certificates represented thereby with the Trustee, as custodian for The
Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and registered in the name of a nominee of DTC,

Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent
global Certificates in definitive, fully registered form without interest

be deposited on behalf of the subscribers for such Certificates represented
thereby with the Trustee, as custodian for DTC and registered in the name of
a
nominee of DTC, duly executed and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter
provided. The aggregate principal amounts of the Regulation S Global Securities
may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the

provided.
(e) The

501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Act shall be issued initially in the form
of one or more Definitive Certificates.

Interests.
Section
3.02 Registration.
The
Trustee is hereby appointed, and hereby accepts its appointment as, Certificate
Registrar in respect of the Certificates and shall maintain books for the
registration and for the transfer of Certificates (the “Certificate Register”).
The Trustee may appoint a bank or trust company to act as Certificate Registrar.
A registration book shall be maintained for the Certificates collectively.
The
Certificate Registrar may resign or be discharged or removed and a new successor
may be appointed in accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth
in
Sections 6.06 and 6.07 hereof with respect to the resignation, discharge or
removal of the 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.
73
Section
3.03 Transfer
and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) A
Certificate (other than a Book-Entry Certificate, 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, 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.
(c) By
acceptance of a Restricted Certificate, QIB-Restricted Certificate or 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 is not a U.S. person within the meaning of Regulation S and
was,
at the time the buy order was originated, outside the United States and (ii)
such Person understands that such Certificates have not been registered under
the 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 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.
74
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 Placement Agent or an
affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Act”)) of the Depositor or the Placement Agent or (y) being made to a
“qualified institutional buyer” (a “QIB”) as defined in Rule 144A under the Act
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 Act, or to any Person all of the equity
owners in which are such accredited investors, by a transferor who furnishes
to
the Trustee a letter of the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit
G
hereto.
(d) No
transfer of a Grantor Trust Certificate will be registered unless the Trustee,
the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor receive (A) a representation as
set
forth in Exhibit H to the effect that such transferee is not, and is not acting
for, on behalf of or with any assets of, an employee benefit plan or other
arrangement subject to Title I of ERISA or plan subject to Section 4975 of
the
Code, or (ii) until the termination of the applicable Deferred Interest Cap
Agreement, the acquisition and holding of the Grantor Trust Certificate will
not
constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Title I of
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.
No
Transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate or a Class R Certificate will be
registered unless the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor
receive (A) a representation as set forth in Exhibit D-1 for Class R
Certificates or Exhibit H for ERISA-Restricted Certificates to the effect that
such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or other arrangement subject
to
Title I of ERISA, a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan subject
to any provisions under any federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or
regulations that are substantively similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA
or the Code (“Similar Law”) (collectively, a “Plan”), and is not directly or
indirectly acquiring the Class R Certificate for, on behalf of, or with any
assets of any such Plan, or (B) solely in the case of an ERISA-Restricted
Certificate (I) a representation as set forth in Exhibit H for ERISA-Restricted
Certificates that, if the Certificate has been the subject of an
ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, such transferee is an insurance company that
is
acquiring the Certificate with assets contained in an “insurance company general
account,” as defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption
(“PTCE”) 95-60, and the acquisition and holding of the Certificate are covered
and exempt under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60, or (II) solely in the case
of
an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is a Definitive Certificate, an Opinion
of
Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the
Depositor, and upon which the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the
Depositor shall be entitled to rely, to the effect that the acquisition and
holding of such Certificate will not constitute or result in a nonexempt
prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Code, or a violation of Similar Law,
and will not subject the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Master
Servicer, any Servicer or the Depositor to any obligation in addition to those
expressly undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not
be an
expense of the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Master Servicer, any
Servicer or the Depositor.
75
Except
in
the case of Definitive Certificates, the representations set forth in the
preceding paragraphs, other than clause (B)(II) in the immediately preceding
paragraph, shall be deemed to have been made to the Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar and the Depositor by the transferee’s acceptance of a Grantor Trust
Certificate, an ERISA-Restricted Certificate or a Class R Certificate (or the
acceptance by a Certificate Owner of the beneficial interest in any Class of
Grantor Trust Certificate, ERISA Restricted Certificate or Class R Certificate).
The Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor shall not have any
obligation to monitor transfers of Book-Entry Certificates or Restricted Global
Securities that are Grantor Trust Certificates, ERISA-Restricted Certificates
or
Class R Certificates or any liability for transfers of such Certificates in
violation of the transfer restrictions.
Notwithstanding
any other provision herein to the contrary, any purported transfer of a Grantor
Trust Certificate, an ERISA-Restricted Certificate or Class R Certificate to
or
on behalf of a Plan without the delivery to the Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar and the Depositor of a representation or an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor as
described above shall be void and of no effect and 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. The
Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor shall not have any
liability to any Person for any registration or transfer of any Grantor
Trust Certificate, ERISA
Restricted Certificate or Class R Certificate that is in fact not permitted
by
this Section 3.03(d) and the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the
Depositor shall not have any liability for making any payments due on such
Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to
such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer
was
registered by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with the foregoing
requirements. The Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor shall
be
entitled, but not obligated, to recover from any Holder of any Grantor Trust
Certificate, ERISA Restricted Certificate or Class R Certificate that was in
fact a Plan and that held such Certificate in violation of this Section 3.03(d)
all payments made on such Grantor Trust Certificate, ERISA Restricted
Certificate or Class R Certificate at and after the time it commenced such
holding. Any such payments so recovered shall be paid and delivered to the
last
preceding Holder of such Certificate that is not a Plan.
76
(e) As
a
condition of the registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate, the
Certificate Registrar may require the certified taxpayer identification number
of the owner of the Certificate and the payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any
tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith; provided,
however, that the Certificate Registrar shall have no obligation to require
such
payment or to determine whether or not any such tax or charge may be applicable.
No service charge shall be made to the Certificateholder for any registration,
transfer or exchange of a Certificate.
(f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, no Residual Certificate may be owned,
pledged or transferred, directly or indirectly, by or to (i) a Disqualified
Organization or (ii) an individual, corporation or partnership or other person
unless, in the case of clause (ii), 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, the Master
Servicer, any NIMS Insurer 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 a Non-permitted Foreign Holder.
Notwithstanding the registration in the Certificate Register of any transfer,
sale, or other disposition of a Residual Certificate to a Disqualified
Organization, an agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder,
such
registration shall be deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and
such Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted
Foreign Holder shall not be deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose
hereunder, including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions on such
Residual Certificate. The 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, or an agent
or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder. The Trustee shall be
entitled, but not obligated, 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.
77
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 or Certificate Owner of a Restricted Certificate, ERISA-Restricted
Certificate, QIB-Restricted Certificate or Residual Certificate, or an interest
therein, by such Holder’s or Owner’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 Privately Offered Certificate 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).
(i) Subject
to clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 3.03(h), transfers of a Global
Security representing any Privately Offered Certificate 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.
(ii) 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 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 V-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 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.
78
(iii) 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
of 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 V-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 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.
(iv) 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 Act, as the case
may
be), and as may be from time to time adopted by the Trustee.
79
(v) Restrictions
on U.S. Transfers. Transfers of interests in the 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)(iii).
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 Trustee or 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 any NIMS Insurer and 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 Depositor
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. 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.
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, any NIMS Insurer, 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, any NIMS Insurer, 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.
80
(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.
For
purposes of this Section 3.07, “Certificates” shall not include Underlying
Interests.
Section
3.08 Appointment
of Paying Agent.
(a) The
Trustee hereby appoints itself as Paying Agent. The Trustee may appoint a
successor Paying Agent acceptable to the NIMS Insurer, 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 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.
(b) Any
Paying Agent shall be either a bank or trust company or otherwise authorized
under law to exercise corporate trust powers. A Paying Agent shall comply with
its reporting obligations under Regulation AB with respect to the Trust Fund
in
form and substance similar to those of the Trustee pursuant to Section
6.20(d)(iv) and Section 9.25, and the related assessment of compliance and
attestation shall cover, at a minimum, the matters indicated as obligations
with
respect to the Paying Agent on Exhibit R attached hereto; provided that if
the
Trustee is the Paying Agent, any reporting obligations under Regulation AB
specific to the Paying Agent shall be undertaken by the Trustee in the course
of
its own reporting and not separately, as further specified in Section
6.20(d)(iv) and Section 9.25. In addition, the Paying Agent (if other than
the
Trustee) shall notify the Sponsor, the Master Servicer and the Depositor within
five (5) calendar days of knowledge thereof (i) of any legal proceedings pending
against the Paying Agent of the type described in Item 1117 (§ 229.1117) of
Regulation AB, (ii) any merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all
of
the assets of the Paying Agent and (iii) if the Paying Agent shall become (but
only to the extent not previously disclosed) at any time an Affiliate of any
of
the parties listed on Exhibit S hereto or any of their Affiliates.
(c)
Any
Paying Agent agrees to indemnify the Depositor, the Trustee (if other than
the
Paying Agent) and the Master Servicer, and each of their respective directors,
officers, employees and agents and the Trust Fund and hold each of them harmless
from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal
fees
and expenses and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and
expenses that any of them may sustain arising out of or based upon the failure
by such Paying Agent to deliver any information, report or certification when
and as required under Section 6.20 and Section 9.25(a), provided, however,
that
this sentence shall not apply if the Paying Agent is the Trustee. This
indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the
termination of such Paying Agent hereunder.
81
Section
3.09 Book
Entry Certificates.
(a) Each
Class of Book Entry Certificates, upon original issuance, shall be issued in
the
form of one or more typewritten Certificates representing the Book Entry
Certificates. The Book Entry Certificates shall initially be registered on
the
Certificate Register in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency, and
no
Certificate Owner will receive a Definitive Certificate representing such
Certificate Owner’s interest in the Book Entry Certificates, except as provided
in Section 3.09(c). Unless Definitive Certificates have been issued to
Certificate Owners of Book Entry Certificates pursuant to Section
3.09(c):
(i) the
provisions of this Section 3.09 shall be in full force and effect;
(ii) the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Paying Agent, the 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;
(iii) to
the
extent that the provisions of this Section 3.09 conflict with any other
provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 3.09 shall control;
and
(iv) the
rights of Certificate Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency
and the Clearing Agency Participants and shall be limited to those established
by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency
and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. Unless and until Definitive
Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 3.09(c), the initial Clearing Agency
will make book entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and
receive and transmit distributions of principal of and interest on the Book
Entry Certificates to such Clearing Agency Participants.
(b) Whenever
notice or other communication to the Certificateholders is required under this
Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued
to
Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 3.09(c), the Trustee shall give all
such
notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Book
Entry Certificates to the Clearing Agency.
(c) If
(i)
(A) the 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 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 Depositor nor the Trustee
shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may
conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.
Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates 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.

83
(d) The
Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the Collection
Account, no later than the second Business Day following the Closing Date,
any

of the amount permitted to be withdrawn or withheld from the Collection Account
in accordance with Sections 5.04 and 9.21;

(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 9.21) and (y) any
amounts reimbursable to the applicable Servicer with respect to such Mortgage
Loan under the related Servicing Agreement and retained by such
Servicer;

(v) all
Advances made by the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer pursuant to

7.04.
(e) Funds
in
the Collection Account may be invested in Eligible Investments selected by
and
at the written direction of the Master Servicer, which shall mature not later
than one Business Day prior to the Deposit Date (except that if such Eligible
Investment is an obligation of the Trustee, then such Eligible Investment shall
mature not later than such applicable Deposit Date) 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 the Holders of Xxxxxx XS Trust Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-4N. All income and gain realized from
any
Eligible Investment shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer and shall
be
subject to its withdrawal or 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 such 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, assumption fees,
prepayment penalties with respect to mortgages for which the Seller does not
own
the servicing rights, and other incidental fees and charges relating to the
Mortgage Loans (other than Prepayment Premiums) 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 such Collection
Account.
84
Section
4.02 Application
of Funds in the Collection Account.
(a) The
Master Servicer may, from time to time, make, or cause to be made, withdrawals
from the Collection Account for the following purposes:
(i) to
reimburse itself or any Servicer for Advances or Servicing Advances made by
it
or by such Servicer pursuant to Section 5.04 or the applicable Servicing
Agreement; such right to reimbursement pursuant to this sub-clause (i) is
limited to amounts received on or in respect of a particular Mortgage Loan
(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 or, with
respect to the GMACM Mortgage Loans, the General Servicing Fee) of payments
of
principal or interest respecting which any such Advance was made, 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, following a final liquidation of a Mortgage
Loan (except as otherwise provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement) for
any previously unreimbursed Advances or Servicing Advances made by it or by
such
Servicer (A) 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 Advance
or
Servicing Advance was made or from Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds
with respect to such Mortgage Loan and/or (B) to the extent that such
unreimbursed Advances or Servicing Advances exceed the related Liquidation
Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, it being understood, in the case of each 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(c)
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 Rate (or, with
respect to the GMACM Mortgage Loans, the General Servicing Fee Rate), 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;
85
(iv) in
the
event the Master Servicer has elected not to retain the General Servicing Fee
(including late collections of interest on such Mortgage Loan, or interest
portions of Insurance Proceeds, condemnation Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds),
to pay to itself the General Servicing Fee from all such Mortgagor payments
on
account of interest or other such recovery for interest with respect to that
Mortgage Loan;
(v) to
reimburse itself or any Servicer for expenses incurred by and recoverable by
or
reimbursable to it or such Servicer pursuant to Sections 9.04, 9.05, 9.06,
9.07(a), 9.16, 9.30 or 11.15 or pursuant to the applicable Servicing
Agreement;
(vi) to
pay to
the Depositor, the Seller or the Transferor, as applicable, with respect to
each
Mortgage Loan or REO Property acquired in respect thereof that has been
purchased 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;
(vii) subject
to Section 5.05, to pay to itself income earned on the investment of funds
deposited in the Collection Account;
(viii) to
make
payments to the Trustee on each Deposit Date for deposit into the Certificate
Account in the amount provided in Section 4.04;
(ix) to
make
payment to itself, the Trustee and others pursuant to any other 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 Master Servicer or the Trustee thereto shall be prior to the rights
of the Certificateholders; and
86
(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.
If
provided in its applicable Servicing Agreement, a Servicer shall be entitled
to
retain as additional servicing compensation any Prepayment Interest Excess
(to
the extent not offset by Prepayment Interest Shortfalls).
In
the
event that the Master Servicer fails on any Deposit Date to remit to the Trustee
any amounts required to be so remitted to the Trustee pursuant to sub-clause
(viii) by 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 Deposit Date to but not
including the related Distribution Date. The Master Servicer shall only be
required to pay the Trustee interest for the actual number of days such amounts
are not timely remitted (e.g., one day’s interest, if such amounts are remitted
one day after the Deposit Date).
In
connection with withdrawals pursuant to sub-clauses (i), (ii), (iii), and (vi)
above, the Master Servicer’s, any Servicer’s or such other Person’s entitlement
thereto is limited to collections or other recoveries on the related Mortgage
Loan. 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
such sub-clause (i), (ii), (iii) and (vi).
Any
withdrawals described in this section shall be allocated and limited to
collections or other recoveries on the related Mortgage Pool and shall be
accounted for in such manner.
(b) The
Trustee shall afford the NIMS Insurer upon reasonable notice, during normal
business hours, access to all records maintained by the Trustee in respect
of
its duties hereunder and access to officers of the Trustee responsible for
performing such duties. The Trustee shall cooperate fully with the NIMS Insurer
and shall make available to the NIMS Insurer for review and copying at the
expense of the NIMS Insurer, such books, documents or records as may be
requested with respect to the Trustee’s duties hereunder. The NIMS Insurer shall
not have any responsibility or liab
