ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES

 


	SECTION 2.01  	
Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.






 

The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Trustee without recourse for the benefit of the Certificateholders all the right, title and interest of the Depositor, including any security interest therein for the benefit of the Depositor, in and to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the rights of the Depositor under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (except Section 18 thereof), and all other assets included or to be included in REMIC I-A and REMIC II-A. Such assignment includes all interest and principal received by the Depositor or the Master Servicer on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than payments of principal and interest due on such Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off
Date). The Depositor herewith delivers to the Trustee an executed copy of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, and the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders, acknowledges receipt of the same. 

 

In connection with such transfer and assignment, the Depositor does hereby deliver to, and deposit with, the Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf, the following documents or instruments (a “Mortgage File”) with respect to each Mortgage Loan so transferred and assigned:

 

(i)  The Mortgage Note, endorsed by manual or facsimile signature without recourse by the Originator or an Affiliate of the Originator in blank or to the Trustee showing a complete chain of endorsements from the named payee to the Trustee or from the named payee to the Affiliate of the Originator and from such Affiliate to the Trustee;

 

(ii)  The original recorded Mortgage, noting the presence of the MIN of the Mortgage Loan and language indicating that the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan if the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, with evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the Mortgage certified by the public recording office in those jurisdictions where the public recording office retains the original;

 

(iii)  Unless the Mortgage Loan is registered on the MERS® System, an assignment to the Trustee in recordable form of the Mortgage which may be included, where permitted by local law, in a blanket assignment or assignments of the Mortgage to the Trustee, including any intervening assignments and showing a complete chain of title from the original mortgagee named under the Mortgage to the Person assigning the Mortgage Loan to the Trustee (or to MERS, noting the presence of the MIN, if the Mortgage Loan is registered on the MERS® System);

 

(iv)  Any original assumption, modification, buydown or conversion-to- fixed-interest-rate agreement applicable to the Mortgage Loan;

 

(v)  With respect to any Mortgage Loan listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as subject to a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, the original Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or certificate or a copy thereof; 

 

(vi)  The original or a copy of the title insurance policy (which may be a certificate or a short form policy relating to a master policy of title insurance) pertaining to the Mortgaged Property, or in the event such original title policy is unavailable, a copy of the preliminary title report and the lender’s recording instructions, with the original to be delivered within 180 days of the Closing Date or an attorney’s opinion of title in jurisdictions where such is the customary evidence of title; and

 

(vii)  [reserved].

 

In instances where an original recorded Mortgage cannot be delivered by the Depositor to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) prior to or concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, due to a delay in connection with the recording of such Mortgage, the Depositor may, (a) in lieu of delivering such original recorded Mortgage referred to in clause (ii) above, deliver to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) a copy thereof, provided that the Depositor certifies that the original Mortgage has been delivered to a title insurance company for recordation after receipt of its policy of title insurance or binder therefor (which may be a certificate relating to a master policy of title insurance), and (b) in lieu of delivering the completed assignment in recordable form
referred to in clause (iii) above to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), deliver such assignment to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) completed except for recording information. In all such instances, the Depositor will deliver the original recorded Mortgage and completed assignment (if applicable) to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) promptly upon receipt of such Mortgage. In instances where an original recorded Mortgage has been lost or misplaced, the Depositor or the related title insurance company may deliver, in lieu of such Mortgage, a copy of such Mortgage bearing recordation information and certified as true and correct by the office in which recordation thereof was made. In instances where the original or a copy of the title insurance policy referred to in clause (vi) above (which may be a certificate relating to a master policy of title insurance) pertaining to the Mortgaged Property relating to a Mortgage Loan cannot be delivered by
the Depositor to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) prior to or concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement because such policy is not yet available, the Depositor may, in lieu of delivering the original or a copy of such title insurance referred to in clause (vi) above, deliver to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) a binder with respect to such policy (which may be a certificate relating to a master policy of title insurance) and deliver the original or a copy of such policy (which may be a certificate relating to a master policy of title insurance) to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) within 180 days of the Closing Date, in instances where an original assumption, modification, buydown or conversion-to-fixed-interest-rate agreement cannot be delivered by the Depositor to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) prior to or concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor may, in lieu
of delivering the original of such agreement referred to in clause (iv) above, deliver a certified copy thereof.

 

To the extent not already recorded, except with respect to any Mortgage Loan for which MERS is identified on the Mortgage or on a properly recorded assignment of the Mortgage as the mortgagee of record, the Master Servicer, at the expense of the Seller shall promptly (and in no event later than five Business Days following the later of the Closing Date and the date of receipt by the Master Servicer of the recording information for a Mortgage) submit or cause to be submitted for recording, at no expense to any Trust REMIC, in the appropriate public office for real property records, each Assignment delivered to it pursuant to (iii) above. In the event that any such Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Master Servicer, at the expense of the Seller, shall promptly prepare or
cause to be prepared a substitute Assignment or cure or cause to be cured such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly recorded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but without limiting the requirement that such Assignments be in recordable form, neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall be required to submit or cause to be submitted for recording any Assignment delivered to it or a Custodian pursuant to (iii) above if such recordation shall not, as of the Closing Date, be required by the Rating Agencies, as a condition to their assignment on the Closing Date of their initial ratings to the Certificates, as evidenced by the delivery by the Rating Agencies of their ratings letters on the Closing Date; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall submit each Assignment for recording, at no expense to the Trust Fund or the Master Servicer, upon the earliest to occur of: (A) reasonable direction by Holders of Certificates entitled
to at least 25% of the Voting Rights, (B) the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Termination, (C) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Seller, (D) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02 of this Agreement and (E) with respect to any one Assignment the occurrence of a foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Seller fails to pay the cost of recording the Assignments, such expense will be paid by the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall be reimbursed for such expenses by the Trust as set forth herein.

 

In connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on the MERS System, the Depositor further agrees that it will cause, within 30 Business Days after the Closing Date, the MERS System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Depositor to the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders by including in such computer files (a) the code in the field which identifies the specific Trustee and (b) the code in the field “Pool Field” which identifies the series of the Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans. The Depositor further agrees that it will not, and will not permit the Master Servicer to, and the Master Servicer agrees that it will not and will not permit a Sub-Servicer to, alter the codes referenced in
this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan during the term of this Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

With respect to a maximum of approximately 5.00% of the Original Mortgage Loans, by outstanding principal balance of the Original Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, if any original Mortgage Note referred to in (i) above cannot be located, the obligations of the Depositor to deliver such documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon delivery to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) of a photocopy of such Mortgage Note, if available, with a lost note affidavit. If any of the original Mortgage Notes for which a lost note affidavit was delivered to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) is subsequently located, such original Mortgage Note shall be delivered to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) within three Business Days.

 

The Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) promptly upon receipt thereof any other original documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received with respect to any Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, any original documents evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan.

 

All original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans that are not delivered to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) are and shall be held by or on behalf of the Seller, the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, in trust for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. In the event that any such original document is required pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, such document shall be delivered promptly to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee). Any such original document delivered to or held by the Depositor that is not required pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, shall be delivered promptly to the Master Servicer.

 

Wherever it is provided in this Section 2.01 that any document, evidence or information relating to a Mortgage Loan be delivered or supplied to the Trustee, the Depositor shall do so by delivery thereof to the Trustee or Custodian on behalf of the Trustee.

 

It is agreed and understood by the parties hereto that it is not intended that any Mortgage Loan to be included in the Trust Fund be (i) a “High-Cost Home Loan” as defined in the New Jersey Home Ownership Act effective November 27, 2003, (ii) a “High-Cost Home Loan” as defined in the New Mexico Home Loan Protection Act effective January 1, 2004, (iii) a “High-Cost Home Mortgage Loan” as defined in the Massachusetts Predatory Home Loan Practices Act effective November 7, 2004 or (iv) a “High Cost Home Loan” as defined in the Indiana Home Loan Practices Act effective January 1, 2005. It is agreed and understood by the parties hereto that it is not intended that any Mortgage Loan to be included in the Trust Fund not comply in all material respects with applicable local,
state and federal laws, including, but not limited to, all applicable predatory and abusive lending laws.

 


	SECTION 2.02  	
Acceptance of the Trust Fund by the Trustee.






 

Subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to any exceptions noted on an exception report delivered by or on behalf of the Trustee, the Trustee acknowledges receipt of the documents referred to in Section 2.01 (other than such documents described in Section 2.01(iv)) and all other assets included in the definition of “Trust Fund” and declares that it holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting the Mortgage File, and that it holds or will hold all such assets and such other assets included in the definition of “Trust Fund” in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.

 

The Trustee, by execution and delivery hereof, acknowledges receipt, subject to the review described in the succeeding sentence, of the documents and other property referred to in Section 2.01 and declares that the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) holds and will hold such documents and other property, including property yet to be received in the Trust Fund, in trust, upon the trusts herein set forth, for the benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf shall, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, review each Mortgage File within 90 days after execution and delivery of this Agreement, to ascertain that all required documents have been executed, received and recorded, if applicable, and that such documents relate to the
Mortgage Loans. If in the course of such review the Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf finds a document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be defective in any material respect, the Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf shall promptly so notify the Depositor, the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Seller, the Master Servicer and, if such notice is from a Custodian on the Trustee’s behalf, the Trustee. In addition, upon the discovery by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent or the Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties made by the Seller in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the related Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.

 

The Depositor and the Trustee intend that the assignment and transfer herein contemplated constitute a sale of the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Notes and the related documents, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any liens and encumbrances, from the Depositor to the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders and that such property not be part of the Depositor’s estate or property of the Depositor in the event of any insolvency by the Depositor. In the event that such conveyance is deemed to be, or to be made as security for, a loan, the parties intend that the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Trustee a first priority perfected security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans, the
related Mortgage Notes and the related documents, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

 

The Trustee may, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof or at any time thereafter, enter into a custodial agreement with a Custodian pursuant to which the Trustee appoints a Custodian to hold the Mortgage Files on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Trustee and all present and future Certificateholders, which may provide that the Custodian shall, on behalf of the Trustee, conduct the review of each Mortgage File required under the first paragraph of this Section 2.02. Initially, Citibank, N.A., is appointed as Custodian with respect to the Mortgage Files of all the Mortgage Loans and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, it is understood that such initial Custodian shall be responsible for the review contemplated in the second paragraph of this Section 2.02 and for all other
functions relating to the receipt, review, reporting and certification provided for herein with respect to the Mortgage Files (other than ownership thereof for the benefit of the Certificateholders and related duties and obligations set forth herein). 

 


	SECTION 2.03  	
Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by the Seller or the Depositor.






 

(a)  Upon discovery or receipt of notice by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee of any materially defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of the breach by the Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, the party so discovering or receiving notice shall promptly notify the other parties to this Agreement, and the Trustee thereupon shall promptly notify the Seller of such defect, missing document or breach and request that the Seller
deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach within 90 days from the date the Seller was notified of such missing document, defect or breach, and if the Seller does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (i) to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from REMIC I-A or REMIC II-A at the Purchase Price within 90 days after the date on which the Seller was notified (subject to Section 2.03(e)) of such missing document, defect or breach, and (ii) to indemnify the Trust Fund in respect of such missing document, defect or breach, in the case of each of (i) and (ii), if and to the extent that the Seller is obligated to do so under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan and any indemnification shall be remitted by the Seller to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account,
and the Trust Administrator, upon receipt of written notice from the Master Servicer of such deposit, shall give written notice to the Trustee that such deposit has taken place and the Trustee shall release (or cause a Custodian to release on its behalf) to the Seller the related Mortgage File, and the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Seller shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto, and the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. In furtherance of the foregoing, if the Seller is not a member of MERS and repurchases a Mortgage Loan which is registered on the MERS System, the Seller pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement at its own expense and without any right of reimbursement, shall cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage
in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Seller and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS System in accordance with MERS rules and regulations. In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, if so provided in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement the Seller may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from REMIC I-A or REMIC II-A (in which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d). It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing, and if and to the extent provided in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to perform any applicable indemnification obligations with respect to any
such omission, defect or breach, as provided in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, shall constitute the only remedies respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator on behalf of the Certificateholders.

 

(b)  Reserved.

 

(c)  Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Master Servicer or receipt of notice by the Master Servicer of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Master Servicer set forth in Section 2.05 which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall cure such breach in all material respects.

 

(d)  Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) must be effected prior to the date which is two years after the Startup Day for REMIC I-A or REMIC II-A.

 

As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Seller delivering to the Trustee (or to a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, as applicable), for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment in blank or to the Trustee, and such other documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by Section 2.01, together with an Officers’ Certificate providing that each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Shortfall Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution. A Custodian on its behalf and on behalf of the Trustee shall, for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, review each Mortgage File within 90 days after execution and delivery of this Agreement, to ascertain that all required documents have been executed, received and recorded, if applicable, and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans. If in the course of such review the Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf finds a document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be defective in any material respect, the Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf shall promptly so notify the Depositor, the Trust Administrator, the Seller and the Master Servicer. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Seller. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan on or before the Due Date in the month of substitution, and the Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain
all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Trust Administrator shall give or cause to be given written notice to the Trustee and the Certificateholders that such substitution has taken place, and the Trust Administrator shall amend or cause the Custodian to amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, upon receipt thereof, shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Master Servicer. Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (including all applicable representations and warranties thereof included in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement), in each case as of the date of substitution.

 

For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will determine the amount (the “Substitution Shortfall Amount”), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate of, as to each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Scheduled Principal Balance thereof as of the date of substitution, together with one month’s interest on such Scheduled Principal Balance at the applicable Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate. On the date of such substitution, the Trustee will monitor the obligation of the Seller to deliver or cause to be delivered, and shall request that such delivery be to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account, an amount
equal to the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if any, and the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, as applicable), upon receipt of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and written notice given by the Master Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File or Files and the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Seller shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.

 

In addition, the Seller shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on any Trust REMIC, including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on “prohibited transactions” under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on “contributions after the startup date” under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or (b) any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.

 

(e)  Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within two Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties to this Agreement, and the Trustee shall give written notice thereof to the Seller. In connection therewith, the Seller pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the Depositor pursuant to this Agreement shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d), substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for the affected
Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Such repurchase or substitution shall be made by (i) the Seller if the affected Mortgage Loan’s status as a non-qualified mortgage is or results from a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or (ii) the Depositor, if the affected Mortgage Loan’s status as a non-qualified mortgage is a breach of no representation or warranty. Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Sections 2.03(a) and 2.03(d). The Trustee shall reconvey to the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased by the Seller for breach of a representation or warranty.

ARTICLE III


ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING


OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS

 


	SECTION 3.01  	
Master Servicer to Act as Master Servicer.






 

The Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Trustee and in the best interests of and for the benefit of the Certificateholders (as determined by the Master Servicer in its reasonable judgment) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the respective Mortgage Loans and, to the extent consistent with such terms, in the same manner in which it services and administers similar mortgage loans for its own portfolio, giving due consideration to customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage lenders and loan servicers administering similar mortgage loans but without regard to:

 

(i)  any relationship that the Master Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or any Affiliate of the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer may have with the related Mortgagor;

 

(ii)  the ownership of any Certificate by the Master Servicer or any Affiliate of the Master Servicer;

 

(iii)  the Master Servicer’s obligation to make P&I Advances or Servicing Advances; or

 

(iv)  the Master Servicer’s or any Sub-Servicer’s right to receive compensation for its services hereunder or with respect to any particular transaction.

 

To the extent consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall also seek to maximize the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage Notes. Subject only to the above-described servicing standards and the terms of this Agreement and of the respective Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through Sub-Servicers as provided in Section 3.02, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer in its own name or in the name of a Sub-Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee when the Master Servicer believes it appropriate in its best judgment in accordance with
the servicing standards set forth above, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, and upon notice to the Trustee, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the ownership of such properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such properties, on behalf of the Trustee and Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable state and federal law and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be provided to them thereby. The Master Servicer shall also comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under each Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and any standard hazard insurance
policy. Subject to Section 3.17, the Trustee shall execute, at the written request of the Master Servicer, and furnish to the Master Servicer and any Sub-Servicer such documents as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer to carry out their servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and the Trustee hereby grants to the Master Servicer a power of attorney to carry out such duties. The Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicers under such powers of attorney.

 

In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be Servicing Advances reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and further as provided in Section 3.11. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or by Sub- Servicers in effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on a Mortgaged Property shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit.

 

The Master Servicer further is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name or in the name of the Sub-Servicer, when the Master Servicer or the Sub-Servicer, as the case may be, believes it is appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Trustee and its successors and assigns. Any reasonable expenses (i) incurred as a result of MERS discontinuing or becoming
unable to continue operations in connection with the MERS System or (ii) if the affected Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment of the Master Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, incurred in connection with the actions described in the preceding sentence, shall be subject to withdrawal by the Master Servicer from the Collection Account.

 

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer may not make any future advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan (except as provided in Section 4.03) and the Master Servicer shall not (i) permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan (except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is in default or, in the judgment of the Master Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable) that would change the Mortgage Rate, reduce or increase the principal balance (except for reductions resulting from actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan or (ii) permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would both (A) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or
final, temporary or proposed Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (B) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions after the startup date” under the REMIC Provisions. Consistent with the foregoing, in connection with a partial Principal Prepayment, the Master Servicer may at its option reduce or permit a Sub-Servicer to reduce the scheduled Monthly Payments on the related Mortgage Loan so that the remaining outstanding principal amount owed under such Mortgage Loan will be paid in equal monthly installments of principal and interest by the originally scheduled maturity date. In addition, in connection with any modification of a Mortgage Loan that is entered into by a Mortgagor in lieu of refinancing and that is not permitted by this paragraph or by Section 3.07, the Master Servicer shall treat such modification for remitting and reporting purposes as a Principal Prepayment
in full to the Trust occurring concurrently with the origination of a new mortgage loan, which is not in the Trust, to the Mortgagor. For any such Mortgage Loan that has been so deemed the subject of a Principal Prepayment in full, upon written notice from the Master Servicer of the deposit into the Collection Account of funds in an amount equal to all amounts that would be owed to the Trust by the related Mortgagor if such deemed Principal Prepayment were an actual Principal Prepayment in full, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Master Servicer or the applicable Sub-Servicer shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the designated successor owner of such Mortgage Loan specified in such instruments such Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto, and the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage Loan or the related
Mortgage File.

 

The Master Servicer may delegate its responsibilities under this Agreement; provided, however, that no such delegation shall release the Master Servicer from the responsibilities or liabilities arising under this Agreement.

 

The Master Servicer shall accurately and fully report (or cause each Sub-Servicer to accurately and fully report), its borrower credit files to each of the credit repositories in a timely manner.

 


	SECTION 3.02  	
Sub-Servicing Agreements Between the Master Servicer and Sub-Servicers.






 

(a)  The Master Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements (provided that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a downgrading by the Rating Agencies of the rating on any Class of Certificates) with Sub-Servicers, for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans. As of the Cut-Off Date, Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP is the Sub-Servicer with respect to the Countrywide Mortgage Loans and in such capacity Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP will be primarily responsible for the servicing of such Mortgage
Loans. As of the Cut-Off date, Fifth Third is the Sub-Servicer with respect to the Fifth Third Mortgage Loans and in such capacity Fifth Third will be primarily responsible for the servicing of such Mortgage Loans. As of the Cut-Off Date, HomeBanc is the Sub-Servicer with respect to the HomeBanc Mortgage Loans and in such capacity HomeBanc will be primarily responsible for the servicing of such Mortgage Loans. As of the Cut-Off Date, Wells Fargo is the Sub-Servicer with respect to the Wells Fargo Mortgage Loans and in such capacity Wells Fargo will be primarily responsible for the servicing of such Mortgage Loans. As of the Cut-Off Date, CitiMortgage is the Sub-Servicer with respect to certain of the CitiMortgage Mortgage Loans and in such capacity CitiMortgage will be primarily responsible for the servicing of such Mortgage Loans.

 

(b)  Each Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Sub-Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing Agreement, (ii) an institution approved as a mortgage loan originator by the Federal Housing Administration or an institution the deposit accounts of which are insured by the FDIC and (iii) a Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae approved mortgage servicer. Each Sub-Servicing Agreement must impose on the Sub-Servicer requirements conforming to the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 and provide for servicing of the
Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Master Servicer will examine each Sub-Servicing Agreement and will be familiar with the terms thereof. The terms of any Sub-Servicing Agreement will not be inconsistent with any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer and the Sub-Servicers may enter into and make amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into different forms of Sub-Servicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form shall be made or entered into which could be reasonably expected to be materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any variation without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights from the provisions set forth in Section
3.08 relating to insurance or priority requirements of Sub-Servicing Accounts, or credits and charges to the Sub- Servicing Accounts or the timing and amount of remittances by the Sub-Servicers to the Master Servicer, are conclusively deemed to be inconsistent with this Agreement and therefore prohibited. The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments or modifications thereof, promptly upon the Master Servicer’s execution and delivery of such instruments.

 

(c)  As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master Servicer (except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of this paragraph), for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement and of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, any obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments as required by a Sub- Servicing Agreement, or to purchase a Mortgage Loan on account of missing or defective documentation or on account of a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant, as described in Section 2.03(a). Such enforcement, including,
without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements, and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed.

 


	SECTION 3.03  	
Successor Sub-Servicers.






 

The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement and the rights and obligations of any Sub-Servicer pursuant to any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Sub-Servicing Agreement. In the event of termination of any Sub-Servicer, all servicing obligations of such Sub-Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by the Master Servicer without any act or deed on the part of such Sub-Servicer or the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer either shall service directly the related Mortgage Loans or shall enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor Sub-Servicer which qualifies under Section 3.02.

 

Any Sub-Servicing Agreement (other than any Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement) shall include the provision that such agreement may be immediately terminated by the Trustee or the Trust Administrator without fee, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in the event that the Master Servicer shall, for any reason, no longer be the Master Servicer (including termination due to a Master Servicer Event of Default).

 


	SECTION 3.04  	
Liability of the Master Servicer.






 

Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer and a Sub-Servicer or reference to actions taken through a Sub-Servicer or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01 without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Sub-Servicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Sub-Servicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any
agreement with a Sub- Servicer for indemnification of the Master Servicer by such Sub-Servicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

 


	SECTION 3.05  	
No Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicers and Trustee, Trust Administrator or Certificateholders.






 

Any Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer in its capacity as such shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the Master Servicer alone, and the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer except as set forth in Section 3.06. The Master Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any Sub-Servicer, irrespective of whether the Master Servicer’s compensation pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient to pay such fees.

 


	SECTION 3.06  	
Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements by Trustee.






 

In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the master servicer (including by reason of the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default), the Trustee or its designee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under each Sub-Servicing Agreement that the Master Servicer may have entered into, unless the Trustee elects to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with its terms as provided in Section 3.03. Upon such assumption, the Trustee, its designee or the successor servicer for the Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 shall be deemed, subject to Section 3.03, to have assumed all of the Master Servicer’s interest therein and to have replaced the Master Servicer as a party to each Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as
if each Sub-Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party, except that (i) the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement and (ii) none of the Trustee, its designee or any successor Master Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed any liability or obligation of the Master Servicer that arose before it ceased to be the Master Servicer.

 

The Master Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the Trustee, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by or on behalf of it, and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub- Servicing Agreements to the assuming party.

 


	SECTION 3.07  	
Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.






 

The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and any other applicable insurance policies, follow such collection procedures as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Consistent with the foregoing and the servicing standards set forth in Section 3.01, the Master Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or, if applicable, penalty interest, only upon determining that the coverage of such Mortgage Loan by the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, will not be
affected, or (ii) extend the due dates for Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not greater than 180 days; provided that any extension pursuant to clause (ii) above shall not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of any computation hereunder, except as provided below. In the event of any such arrangement pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Master Servicer shall make timely advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant to Section 4.03 and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment of the Master Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, the Master Servicer, consistent with the standards set forth in Section 3.01, may waive, modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including modifications that change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of
principal or interest or extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan), accept payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated Principal Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan (such payment, a “Short Pay-off”) or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant indulgence to any Mortgagor, if in the Master Servicer’s determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders (taking into account any estimated Realized Loss that might result absent such action).

 


	SECTION 3.08  	
Sub-Servicing Accounts.






 

In those cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer will be required to establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the “Sub-Servicing Account”). The Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall comply with all requirements of this Agreement relating to the Collection Account (provided, however, that in the case of each Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement, the applicable Sub-Servicing Account shall comply with all requirements of the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement relating to the custodial account provided for therein). The Sub-Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection
with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than two Business Days after the Sub-Servicer’s receipt thereof, all proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by the Sub-Servicer less its servicing compensation to the extent permitted by the Sub-Servicing Agreement, and shall thereafter deposit such amounts in the Sub-Servicing Account, in no event more than one Business Day after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account. The Sub-Servicer shall thereafter remit such proceeds to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account not later than two Business Days after the deposit of such amounts in the Sub-Servicing Account (or, in the case of the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement, at such time as is required pursuant to the terms of the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement). For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on the Mortgage Loans when the Sub-Servicer receives such payments.

 


	SECTION 3.09  	
Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Servicing Accounts.






 

The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain (or cause a Sub-Servicer to establish and maintain) one or more accounts (the “Servicing Accounts”), into which all collections from the Mortgagors (or related advances from Sub-Servicers) for the payment of ground rents, taxes, assessments, fire and hazard insurance premiums, Primary Mortgage Insurance Premiums, water charges, sewer rents and comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors (“Escrow Payments”) shall be deposited and retained. Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. The Master Servicer (or the applicable Sub-Servicer) shall deposit in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan
servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than two Business Days after the Master Servicer’s (or the applicable Sub-Servicer’s) receipt thereof, all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans and shall thereafter deposit such Escrow Payments in the Servicing Accounts, in no event more than one Business Day after the deposit of such funds in the clearing account, for the purpose of effecting the payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement. Withdrawals of amounts from a Servicing Account may be made only to (i) effect payment of Escrow Payments; (ii) reimburse the Master Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer to the extent provided in the related Sub-Servicing Agreement) out of related collections for any advances made pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to taxes and assessments) and Section 3.14 (with respect to hazard insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and as
described below, to Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing Account; (v) clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the termination of the Master Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities in respect of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement in accordance with Article IX; or (vi) recover amounts deposited in error. As part of its servicing duties, the Master Servicer or Sub-Servicers shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in Servicing Accounts, to the extent required by law and, to the extent that interest earned on funds in the Servicing Accounts is insufficient, to pay such interest from its or their own funds, without any reimbursement therefor. To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Master Servicer shall determine whether any such payments are made by the Mortgagor in a manner and at a time that avoids the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure of a tax lien. The Master Servicer assumes full responsibility for the
payment of all such bills and shall effect payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments.

 


	SECTION 3.10  	
Collection Account and Distribution Account.






 

(a)  On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more separate, segregated trust accounts (such account or accounts, the “Collection Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than two Business Days after the Master Servicer’s receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the
Collection Account, in no event more than one Business Day after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account, as and when received or as otherwise required hereunder, the following payments and collections received or made by it from and after the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal or interest on the related Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date), or payments (other than Principal Prepayments) received by it on or prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a Due Period subsequent thereto:

 

(i)  all payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans;

 

(ii)  all payments on account of interest (net of the related Servicing Fee) on each Mortgage Loan; 

 

(iii)  all Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and Liquidation Proceeds (other than proceeds collected in respect of any particular REO Property and amounts paid by the Master Servicer in connection with a purchase of Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 9.01);

 

(iv)  any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12 in connection with any losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the Collection Account;

 

(v)  any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 3.14(a) in respect of any blanket policy deductibles;

 

(vi)  all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased or purchased in accordance with Section 2.03 or Section 9.01; 

 

(vii)  all amounts required to be deposited in connection with shortfalls in principal amount of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.03;

 

(viii)  [reserved]; and

 

(ix)  [reserved].

 

For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the Cut-off Date with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to be the date of substitution.

 

The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Accounts shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges or assumption fees need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection Account. In the event the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

 

(b)  On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Paying Agent on behalf of the Trust Administrator shall establish and maintain one or more separate, segregated trust accounts (such account or accounts, the “Distribution Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Paying Agent in immediately available funds for deposit in the Distribution Account on or before 12:00 p.m. New York time (i) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date, that portion of the Group 1 Available Distribution Amount and the Group 2 Available Distribution Amount (calculated in each case without regard to the subtraction therefrom of any Credit
Risk Manager Fee or any applicable lender-paid primary mortgage insurance premium described in clause (i)(a) of each definition thereof) for the related Distribution Date then on deposit in the Collection Account and (ii) on each Business Day as of the commencement of which the balance on deposit in the Collection Account exceeds $75,000 following any withdrawals pursuant to the next succeeding sentence, the amount of such excess, but only if the Collection Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of “Eligible Account.” If the balance on deposit in the Collection Account exceeds $75,000 as of the commencement of business on any Business Day and the Collection Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of “Eligible Account,” the Master Servicer shall, on or before 12:00 p.m. New York time on such Business Day, withdraw from the Collection Account any and all amounts payable or reimbursable
to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Seller or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11 and shall pay such amounts to the Persons entitled thereto.

 

(c)  Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 3.12. The Master Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent and the Depositor of the location of the Collection Account maintained by it when established and prior to any change thereof. The Paying Agent shall give notice to the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent and the Depositor of the location of the Distribution Account when established and prior to any change thereof. 

 

(d)  Funds held in the Collection Account at any time may be delivered by the Master Servicer to the Paying Agent on behalf of the Trust Administrator for deposit in an account (which may be the Distribution Account and must satisfy the standards for the Distribution Account as set forth in the definition thereof) and for all purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a part of the Collection Account; provided, however, that the Paying Agent shall have the sole authority to withdraw any funds held pursuant to this subsection (d). In the event the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Paying Agent for deposit in the Distribution Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any
time request that the Paying Agent withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account and remit to it any such amount, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In addition, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Paying Agent from time to time for deposit, and upon written notification from the Master Servicer, the Paying Agent shall so deposit, in the Distribution Account:

 

(i)  any P&I Advances, as required pursuant to Section 4.03;

 

(ii)  any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.23(d) or (f) in connection with any REO Property;

 

(iii)  any amounts to be paid by the Master Servicer in connection with a purchase of Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 9.01;

 

(iv)  any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.24 in connection with any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls; and

 

(v)  any Stayed Funds, as soon as permitted by the federal bankruptcy court having jurisdiction in such matters.

(f)  The Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12(b) in connection with losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the Collection Account.

(x)  to pay the Credit Risk Manager the Credit Risk Manager Fee; and

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

(vii)  to clear and terminate the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 9.01.

 


	SECTION 3.12  	
Investment of Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account.






 

(a)  The Master Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection Account (for purposes of this Section 3.12, an “Investment Account”), and the Paying Agent may direct any depository institution maintaining the Distribution Account (for purposes of this Section 3.12, also an “Investment Account”), to hold the funds in such Investment Account uninvested or to invest the funds in such Investment Account in one or more Permitted Investments specified in such instruction bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn
from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the Paying Agent is the obligor thereon, and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Paying Agent is the obligor thereon. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Trust Administrator (in its capacity as such) or in the name of a nominee of the Trust Administrator. The Trust Administrator shall be entitled to sole possession (except with respect to investment direction of funds held in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account and any income and gain realized thereon) over each such investment, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Trust Administrator or its agent, together with any document of transfer necessary to transfer title to such
investment to the Trust Administrator or its nominee. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Trust Administrator shall:

 


	 	
(x)
	
consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and






 


	 	
(y)
	
demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by a Responsible Officer of the Trust Administrator that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the Investment Account.






 

(b)  All income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the Collection Account held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer, shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.11. The Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately upon realization of such loss.

 

(c)  All income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the Distribution Account held by or on behalf of the Paying Agent, shall be for the benefit of the Paying Agent and shall be subject to its withdrawal at any time. The Paying Agent shall deposit in the Distribution Account the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately upon realization of such loss.

 

(d)  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Trustee may and, subject to Section 8.01 and Section 8.02(a)(v), upon the request of the Holders of Certificates representing more than 50% of the Voting Rights allocated to any Class of Certificates, shall take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.

 


	SECTION 3.13  	
Maintenance of the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies; Collections Thereunder.






 

The Master Servicer will maintain or cause the related Sub-Servicer, if any, to maintain in full force and effect, if required under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and to the extent available, a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy with respect to each Mortgage Loan so insured as of the Closing Date (or, in the case of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, on the date of substitution). Such coverage will be maintained with respect to each such Mortgage Loan for so long as it is outstanding, subject to any applicable laws or until the related Loan-to-Value Ratio is reduced to less than or equal to 80% based on Mortgagor payments. The Master Servicer shall cause the premium for each Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy to be paid on a timely basis and shall pay such premium out of its own funds if it is not
otherwise paid. The Master Servicer or the related Sub-Servicer, if any, will not cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy in effect on the Closing Date (or, in the case of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, on the date of substitution) that is required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy for such canceled or non-renewed policy is obtained from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer.

 

The Master Servicer shall not take, or permit any Sub-Servicer to take, any action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Master Servicer or Sub-Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The Master Servicer will comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under each Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. In connection with any assumption and modification agreement or substitution of liability agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 3.15, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption in accordance with the terms of such policies and shall take all
actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. If any such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption, the Master Servicer or the related Sub-Servicer shall obtain a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy as provided above.

 

In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policies and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.11; and any amounts collected by the Master Servicer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy in respect of any REO Property shall be deposited
in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.23. In those cases in which a Mortgage Loan is serviced by a Sub-Servicer, the Sub-Servicer, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Certificateholders, will present claims to the insurer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and all collections thereunder shall be deposited initially in the Sub-Servicing Account.

 


	SECTION 3.14  	
Maintenance of Hazard Insurance and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage.






 

(a)  The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire insurance with extended coverage on the related Mortgaged Property in an amount which is at least equal to the least of (i) the current principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, (ii) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis and (iii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such Mortgaged Property, in each case in an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to avoid the application of any coinsurance clause contained in the related hazard insurance policy. The Master Servicer shall also
cause to be maintained fire insurance with extended coverage on each REO Property in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan at the time it became an REO Property, plus accrued interest at the Mortgage Rate and related Servicing Advances. The Master Servicer will comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any such hazard policies. Any amounts to be collected by the Master Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or amounts to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the procedures that the Master Servicer would follow in servicing loans held for its own account, subject to the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note) shall be deposited in
the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.11, if received in respect of a Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.23, if received in respect of an REO Property. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property or REO Property is at any time in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the Master Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance
policy in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is participating in such program).

 

In the event that the Master Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy with an insurer having a General Policy Rating of A:X or better in Best’s Key Rating Guide (or such other rating that is comparable to such rating) insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the first two sentences of this Section 3.14, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with the first two sentences of this Section 3.14, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such policy, deposit to
the Collection Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.

 

(b)  The Master Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this Agreement a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for failure in the performance of the Master Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement, which policy or policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac if it were the purchaser of the Mortgage Loans, unless the Master Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The Master Servicer shall also maintain a fidelity bond in the form and amount that would meet the requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, unless the Master Servicer has obtained a waiver of such
requirements from Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The Master Servicer shall provide the Trustee and the Paying Agent (upon the Trustee’s or Paying Agent’s reasonable request) with copies of any such insurance policies and fidelity bond. The Master Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with this provision if an Affiliate of the Master Servicer has such errors and omissions and fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such insurance policy or fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Master Servicer. Any such errors and omissions policy and fidelity bond shall by its terms not be cancelable without thirty days’ prior written notice to the Trustee. The Master Servicer shall also cause each Sub-Servicer to maintain a policy of insurance covering errors and omissions and a fidelity bond which would meet such requirements.

 


	SECTION 3.15  	
Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.






 

The Master Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any Mortgagor (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the “due-on-sale” clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any. If the Master Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such “due-on-sale”
clause, or if any of the other conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence apply, the Master Servicer will enter into an assumption and modification agreement from or with the person to whom such property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Master Servicer is also authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such person is substituted as the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note, provided that no such substitution shall be effective unless such person satisfies the underwriting criteria of the Master Servicer. In connection with any assumption or substitution, the Master Servicer shall apply such underwriting standards and follow such practices and procedures as shall be normal and usual
in its general mortgage servicing activities and as it applies to other mortgage loans owned solely by it. The Master Servicer shall not take or enter into any assumption and modification agreement, however, unless (to the extent practicable in the circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in writing, of the continued effectiveness of any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or hazard insurance policy, or a new policy meeting the requirements of this Section is obtained. Any fee collected by the Master Servicer in respect of an assumption or substitution of liability agreement will be retained by the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note (including but not limited to the related Mortgage Rate and the amount of the Monthly Payment) may be amended or modified, except as otherwise required pursuant to the terms thereof. The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution or
assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Custodian (with a copy to the Trustee) the executed original of such substitution or assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any assumption which the Master Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatever. For purposes of this Section 3.15, the term “assumption” is deemed to also include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property) subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability agreement.

 


	SECTION 3.16  	
Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.






 

(a)  The Master Servicer shall, consistent with the servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01, foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.07. The Master Servicer shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that such costs and expenses will be recoverable as Servicing Advances by the Master Servicer as contemplated in Section 3.11 and Section 3.23. The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which
Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Master Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its discretion that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself for such expenses.

 

(b)  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.16 or any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Master Servicer has received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trustee, either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to, such Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Trustee, the Trust Fund, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer or the
Certificateholders would be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in- possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Master Servicer has also previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a report prepared by a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry standards, that:

 

(1)  such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or, if not, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance therewith; and

 

(2)  there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if any such materials are present for which such action could be required, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.

 

The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 3.23 shall be advanced by the Master Servicer, subject to the Master Servicer’s right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.11(a)(ix), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.

 

If the Master Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Master Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund. The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall be advanced by the Master Servicer, subject to the Master Servicer’s right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.11(a)(ix), such right
of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.

 

(c)  The Master Servicer shall have the right to purchase from the Trust Fund any defaulted Mortgage Loan that is 90 days or more delinquent, which the Master Servicer determines in good faith will otherwise become subject to foreclosure proceedings (evidence of such determination to be delivered in writing to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator prior to purchase), at a price equal to the Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the Collection Account, and the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), upon receipt of written certification from the Master
Servicer of such deposit, shall release or cause to be released to the Master Servicer the related Mortgage File and the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), upon receipt of written certification from the Master Servicer of such deposit, shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Master Servicer shall furnish and as shall be necessary to vest in the Master Servicer title to any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.

 

(d)  Proceeds received in connection with any Final Recovery Determination, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds, in respect of any Mortgage Loan, will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and P&I Advances, pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(ii) or (a)(iii)(B); second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final Recovery Determination, or to the Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such amounts are to be distributed if not in connection with a Final Recovery Determination; and
third, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the recovery so allocated to interest is less than the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest due on such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery will be allocated by the Master Servicer as follows: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees; and second, to the balance of the interest then due and owing. The portion of the recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iii)(A).

 


	SECTION 3.17  	
Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.






 

(a)  Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer will immediately notify the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, by a certification in the form of Exhibit E (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.10 have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request that the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, deliver to it the Mortgage File. Upon receipt of
such certification and request, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer is authorized to cause the removal from the registration on the MERS® System of any such Mortgage, if applicable, and to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection Account or the Distribution Account.

 

The Trustee (or a Custodian on its behalf) shall, at the written request and expense of any Certificateholder, provide a written report to such Certificateholder of all Mortgage Files released to the Master Servicer for servicing purposes.

 

(b)  From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or any other insurance policy relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall, upon request of the Master Servicer and delivery to the Custodian and the Trustee of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit E-l, release the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer, and the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall, at the direction of the Master Servicer, execute such documents as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. Such Request for Release shall obligate the
Master Servicer to return each and every document previously requested from the Mortgage File to the Custodian when the need therefor by the Master Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Collection Account or the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Master Servicer has delivered to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all
amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation that are required to be deposited into the Collection Account have been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, a copy of the Request for Release shall be released by the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, to the Master Servicer.

 

(c)  Upon written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Master Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents reasonably necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each such certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents
or pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee’s sale.

 


	SECTION 3.18  	
Servicing Compensation.






 

As compensation for the activities of the Master Servicer hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan payable solely from payments of interest in respect of such Mortgage Loan, subject to Section 3.24. In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees out of Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds to the extent permitted by Section 3.11(a)(iii)(A) and out of amounts derived from the operation and sale of an REO Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.23. The right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.

 

Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges and other similar fees and charges shall be retained by the Master Servicer (subject to Section 3.24) only to the extent such fees or charges are received by the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall also be entitled pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iv) to withdraw from the Collection Account, and pursuant to Section 3.23(b) to withdraw from any REO Account, as additional servicing compensation, interest or other income earned on deposits therein, subject to Section 3.12 and Section 3.24. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including premiums due under any Primary Insurance Policies, if applicable, premiums for the insurance required
by Section 3.14, to the extent such premiums are not paid by the related Mortgagors or by a Sub-Servicer, servicing compensation of each Sub-Servicer, and to the extent provided herein in Section 8.05, the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided herein.

 


	SECTION 3.19  	
Reports to the Trust Administrator; Collection Account Statements.






 

Not later than fifteen days after each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall forward to the Trust Administrator and the Trustee, upon the request of the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, a statement prepared by the Master Servicer setting forth the status of the Collection Account as of the close of business on the last day of the calendar month relating to such Distribution Date and showing, for the period covered by such statement, the aggregate amount of deposits into and withdrawals from the Collection Account of each category of deposit specified in Section 3.10(a) and each category of withdrawal specified in Section 3.11. Such statement may be in the form of the then current Fannie Mae Monthly Accounting Report for its Guaranteed Mortgage Pass-Through Program with appropriate additions and
changes, and shall also include information as to the aggregate of the outstanding principal balances of all of the Mortgage Loans as of the last day of the calendar month immediately preceding such Distribution Date. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trust Administrator to the Certificates Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar shall provide the same to any Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Certificate Registrar as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon the request and at the expense of the requesting party, provided such statement is delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trust Administrator and by the Trust Administrator to the Certificate Registrar.

 


	SECTION 3.20  	
Statement as to Compliance.






 

The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor and the Trust Administrator, on or before March 15th of each calendar year beginning in 2007, an Officers’ Certificate (an “Annual Statement of Compliance”) stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Master Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers’ supervision and (ii) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Master Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement in all material respects throughout such
year, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and status of cure provisions thereof. The Master Servicer shall deliver, or cause any Sub-Servicer to deliver, a similar Annual Statement of Compliance by any Sub-Servicer to which any servicing responsibilities have been delegated with respect to the Mortgage Loans, to the Depositor and the Trust Administrator as described above as and when required with respect to the Master Servicer. 

 

If the Master Servicer cannot deliver the related Annual Statement of Compliance by March 15th of such year, the Trustee, at the direction of the Depositor, may permit a cure period for the Master Servicer to deliver such Annual Statement of Compliance, but in no event later than March 18th of such year.

 

Failure of the Master Servicer to comply with this Section 3.20 shall be deemed a Master Servicer Event of Default and the Trustee at the direction of the Depositor shall, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee may have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, upon notice immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Master Servicer for the same. This paragraph shall supersede any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary. 

 

The Master Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses that such Person may sustain based upon a breach of the Master Servicer’s obligations under this Section 3.20.

(a)  The Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with all applicable requirements of the Servicing Criteria (as set forth in Exhibit C hereto). The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor and the Trust Administrator or cause to be delivered to the Depositor and the Trust Administrator, on or before March 1st of each calendar year beginning in 2007, the following:

Such report shall be signed by an authorized officer of the Master Servicer, and shall address each of the Servicing Criteria set forth in Exhibit C hereto;

 

(ii)  a report (an “Attestation Report”) of a registered public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Depositor that attests to, and reports on, the assessment of compliance made by the Master Servicer and delivered pursuant to the preceding paragraph. Such attestation shall be in accordance with Rules 1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; 

 

(iii)  from each Sub-Servicer, and each subcontractor determined by the Master Servicer to be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report as and when provided in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section 3.21(a); and

 

(iv)  a statement as to which of the Servicing Criteria, if any, are not applicable to the Master Servicer, which statement shall be based on the activities it performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving the Master Servicer, that are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage Loans.

 

(b)  As provided in 3.21(a)(iii) above, the Master Servicer shall, or shall cause any Sub-Servicer and each subcontractor determined by the Master Servicer to be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB to, deliver to the Trust Administrator and the Depositor an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report as and when provided above.

 

Such Assessment of Compliance, as to any Sub-Servicer, shall at a minimum address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit C hereto which are indicated as applicable to any “primary servicer.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, as to any subcontractor, an Assessment of Compliance is not required to be delivered unless it is required as part of a Form 10-K with respect to the Trust Fund.

 

If the Master Servicer cannot deliver any Assessment of Compliance or Attestation Report by March 1st of such year, the Trustee, at the direction of the Depositor, may permit a cure period for the Master Servicer to deliver such Assessment of Compliance or Attestation Report, but in no event later than March 15th of such year.

 

Failure of the Master Servicer to timely comply with this Section 3.21 shall be deemed a Master Servicer Event of Default, and upon the receipt of written notice from the Trustee of such Event of Default, the Trustee at the direction of the Depositor may, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee may have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, upon notice immediately terminate all the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Master Servicer for the same. This paragraph shall supercede any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.

 

The Trust Administrator shall also provide an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report, as and when provided above, which shall at a minimum address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit C hereto which are indicated as applicable to the Trust Administrator. The Paying Agent, Certificate Registrar and Authenticating Agent shall also provide an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report, as and when provided above, which shall at a minimum address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit C hereto which are indicated as applicable to the Paying Agent, Certificate Registrar and Authenticating Agent. The Master Servicer shall on behalf of the Trustee enforce the obligations of the Custodian under the Custodial Agreement to provide an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation
Report, as, when and to the extent set forth in the Custodial Agreement.

 

The Master Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses that such Person may sustain based upon a breach of the Master Servicer’s obligations, as applicable, under this Section 3.21. The Trust Administrator shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses that such Person may sustain based upon any failure of the Trust Administrator to deliver when required its Assessment of
Compliance and Attestation Report. The Paying Agent, Certificate Registrar and Authenticating Agent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses that such Person may sustain based upon any failure of the Paying Agent, Certificate Registrar and Authenticating Agent to deliver when required its Assessment of Compliance.

 


	SECTION 3.22  	
Access to Certain Documentation.






 

The Master Servicer shall provide to the Office of the Controller of the Currency, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC, and any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any Certificateholder, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable laws and regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it. In addition, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable laws and regulations will be provided to such Certificateholder, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and to any Person identified to the Master Servicer as a prospective transferee of a Certificate,
upon reasonable request during normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it at the expense of the Person requesting such access.

 


	SECTION 3.23  	
Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.






 

(a)  The deed or certificate of sale of any REO Property shall be taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee, in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall either sell any REO Property before the close of the third taxable year following the year the Trust Fund acquires ownership of such REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or request from the Internal Revenue Service, no later than 60 days before the day on which the above three-year grace period would otherwise expire, an extension of the above three-year grace period, unless the Master Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the
Depositor an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Depositor, to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to the close of the third taxable year after its acquisition will not result in the imposition on the Trust Fund of taxes on “prohibited transactions” thereof, as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under Federal law at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. The Master Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by any Trust REMIC of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code, or any “net
income from foreclosure property” which is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions.

 

(b)  The Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to REO Properties an account held in trust for the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders (the “REO Account”), which shall be an Eligible Account. The Master Servicer shall be permitted to allow the Collection Account to serve as the REO Account, subject to separate ledgers for each REO Property. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain or withdraw any interest income paid on funds deposited in the REO Account.

 

(c)  The Master Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with any REO Property as are consistent with the manner in which the Master Servicer manages and operates similar property owned by the Master Servicer or any of its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period as the Master Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Certificateholders. In connection therewith, the Master Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in
connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than two Business Days after the Master Servicer’s receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the REO Account, in no event more than one Business Day after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account, all revenues received by it with respect to an REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO Property including, without limitation:

 

(i)  all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such REO Property;

 

(ii)  all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of such REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon; and

 

(iii)  all costs and expenses necessary to maintain such REO Property.

 

To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account with respect to an REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above with respect to such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall advance from its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes if, but only if, the Master Servicer would make such advances if the Master Servicer owned the REO Property and if in the Master Servicer’s judgment, the payment of such amounts will be recoverable from the rental or sale of the REO Property.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee shall:

 

(i)  authorize the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with respect to any REO Property, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise to any income that does not constitute Rents from Real Property;

 

(ii)  authorize any amount to be received or accrued under any New Lease other than amounts that will constitute Rents from Real Property;

 

(iii)  authorize any construction on any REO Property, other than the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and then only if more than ten percent of the construction of such building or other improvement was completed before default on the related Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or

 

(iv)  authorize any Person to Directly Operate any REO Property on any date more than 90 days after its date of acquisition by the Trust Fund;

 

unless, in any such case, the Master Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel, provided to the Trust Administrator and the Trustee, to the effect that such action will not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any time that it is held by the Trust Fund, in which case the Master Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.

 

The Master Servicer may contract with any Independent Contractor for the operation and management of any REO Property, provided that:

 

(i)  the terms and conditions of any such contract shall not be inconsistent herewith;

 

(ii)  any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property, including those listed above and remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Master Servicer as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty days following the receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;

 

(iii)  none of the provisions of this Section 3.23(c) relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Master Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders with respect to the operation and management of any such REO Property; and

 

(iv)  the Master Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the same extent as if it alone were performing all duties and obligations in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property.

 

The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Master Servicer by such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. The Master Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of whether the Master Servicer’s compensation pursuant to Section 3.18 is sufficient to pay such fees.

 

(d)  In addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section 3.23(c), the Master Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the REO Account for any REO Property: (i) to pay itself or any Sub-Servicer unpaid Servicing Fees in respect of the related Mortgage Loan; and (ii) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and P&I Advances made in respect of such REO Property or the related Mortgage Loan. Any income from the related REO Property received during any calendar months prior to a Final Recovery Determination, net of any withdrawals made pursuant to Section 3.23(c) or this Section 3.23(d), shall be withdrawn by the Master Servicer from each REO Account
maintained by it and remitted to the Paying Agent for deposit into the Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date relating to a Final Recovery Determination with respect to such Mortgage Loan, for distribution on the related Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01.

 

(e)  Subject to the time constraints set forth in Section 3.23(a), and further subject to obtaining the approval of the insurer under any related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy (if and to the extent that such approvals are necessary to make claims under such policies in respect of the affected REO Property), each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Master Servicer at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Master Servicer shall deem necessary or advisable, as shall be normal and usual in its general servicing activities for similar properties.

 

(f)  The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any amount required by law to be remitted to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan and net of any payment or reimbursement to the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer as provided above, shall be remitted to the Paying Agent for deposit in the Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date in the month following the receipt thereof for distribution on the related Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01. Any REO Disposition shall be for cash only (unless changes in the REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale for other consideration).

 

(g)  The Master Servicer shall file information returns with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest received in a trade or business, reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property as required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code, respectively. Such reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by such Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.

 


	SECTION 3.24  	
Obligations of the Master Servicer in Respect of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls.






 

With respect to each Collateral Pool, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Paying Agent for deposit into the Distribution Account on or before 12:00 p.m. New York time on the Master Servicer Remittance Date from its own funds (or from a Sub-Servicer’s own funds received by the Master Servicer in respect of Compensating Interest) an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for the related Distribution Date resulting from full or partial Principal Prepayments of each Mortgage Loan included in such Collateral Pool during the related Prepayment Period and (ii) the applicable Compensating Interest Payment for such Mortgage Loans.

 


	SECTION 3.25  	
Obligations of the Master Servicer in Respect of Monthly Payments.






 

In the event that a shortfall in any collection on or liability with respect to any Mortgage Loan results from or is attributable to adjustments to Stated Principal Balances that were made by the Master Servicer in a manner not consistent with the terms of the related Mortgage Note and this Agreement, the Master Servicer, upon discovery or receipt of notice thereof, immediately shall deliver to the Paying Agent for deposit in the Distribution Account from its own funds the amount of any such shortfall and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor and any successor master servicer in respect of any such liability. Such indemnities shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement. If amounts paid by the Master Servicer with respect to any
Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.25 are subsequently recovered from the related Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall be permitted to reimburse itself for such amounts paid by it pursuant to this Section 3.25 from such recoveries.

Holders of any Class of Certificates with respect to which there shall have been a Certificate Principal
Balances increase pursuant to this paragraph will not be entitled to any distribution in respect of interest on the amount of such increase for any Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on which such increase occurs. Any such increases shall be applied to the Certificate Principal Balances of each Class of Certificates in accordance with its respective Percentage Interest.

 

All references above to the Certificate Principal Balances of any Class of Certificates shall be to the Certificate Principal Balances of such Class of Certificates prior to the allocation of Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses and Realized Losses, in each case allocated to such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.04.

 

(b)  (i) On each Distribution Date, the aggregate distributions of principal made on such date in respect of the Group 1 Subordinate Certificates pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(1)(V)(ii) above and the aggregate distributions of principal made on such date in respect of the Group 2 Subordinate Certificates pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(2)(V)(ii) above, respectively, shall be applied among the various Classes thereof, in the order of priority within each Collateral Pool from the Class of related Subordinate Certificates with the lowest numerical designation to the Class of related Subordinate Certificates with the highest numerical designation, in each case to the extent of remaining available funds up to the
amount allocable to such Class for such Distribution Date and in each case until the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of each such Class is reduced to zero, in an amount with respect to each such Class equal to the sum of the following with respect to each Loan Group in such Collateral Pool: (X) the related Class B Percentage of the amounts described in clauses (i) through (v) of clause (ii) (a) of the definition of Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount, (Y) the portion of the amounts described in clauses (ii) (b), (c) and (e) of the definition of Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount allocable to such Class pursuant to Section 4.01(b)(ii) below and (Z) the excess, if any, of the amount required to be distributed to such Class pursuant to this Section 4.01(b)(i) for the immediately preceding Distribution Date, over the aggregate distributions of principal made in respect of such Class of Certificates on such immediately preceding Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01 to the extent
that any such excess is not attributable to Realized Losses which were allocated to related Subordinate Certificates with a lower priority pursuant to Section 4.04.

 

(ii)  On any Distribution Date, the amounts with respect to each Group 1 Loan Group described in clauses (ii) (b), (c), and (e) of the definition of Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount, will be allocated on a pro rata basis among the following Classes of Group 1 Subordinate Certificates (each, an “Eligible Class”) in proportion to the respective outstanding Certificate Principal Balances thereof: (i) the Class 1-B1 Certificates, (ii) the Class 1-B2 Certificates, if on such Distribution Date the aggregate percentage
interest in Collateral Pool 1 evidenced by the Class 1-B2 Certificates, the Class 1-B3 Certificates, the Class 1-B4 Certificates, the Class 1-B5 Certificates and the Class 1-B6 Certificates equals or exceeds 1.95% before giving effect to distributions on such Distribution Date, (iii) the Class 1-B3 Certificates, if on such Distribution Date the aggregate percentage interest in Collateral Pool 1 evidenced by the Class 1-B3 Certificates, the Class 1-B4 Certificates, the Class 1-B5 Certificates and the Class 1-B6 Certificates equals or exceeds 1.30% before giving effect to distributions on such Distribution Date, (iv) the Class 1-B4 Certificates, if on such Distribution Date the aggregate percentage interest in Collateral Pool 1 evidenced by the Class 1-B4 Certificates, the Class 1-B5 Certificates and the Class 1-B6 Certificates equals or exceeds 0.80% before giving effect to distributions on such Distribution Date, (v) the Class 1-B5 Certificates, if on such Distribution Date the aggregate percentage
interest in Collateral Pool 1 evidenced by the Class 1-B5 Certificates and the Class 1-B6 Certificates equals or exceeds 0.50% before giving effect to distributions on such Distribution Date and (vi) the Class 1-B6 Certificates, if on such Distribution Date the percentage interest in Collateral Pool 1 evidenced by the Class 1-B6 Certificates equals or exceeds 0.25% before giving effect to distributions on such Distribution Date. If any of the foregoing Certificates is not an Eligible Class, any amounts allocable to principal and distributable pursuant to this Section 4.01(b)(ii) shall be distributed only among the Certificates that are Eligible Classes in the manner set forth above.

 

On any Distribution Date, the amounts with respect to each Group 2 Loan Group described in clauses (ii) (b), (c), and (e) of the definition of Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount will be allocated on a pro rata basis among the following Classes of Group 2 Subordinate Certificates (each, an “Eligible Class”) in proportion to the respective outstanding Certificate Principal Balances thereof: (i) the Class 2-B1 Certificates, (ii) the Class 2-B2 Certificates, if on such Distribution Date the aggregate percentage interest in Collateral Pool 2 evidenced by the Class 2-B2 Certificates, the Class 2-B3 Certificates, the Class 2-B4
Certificates, the Class 2-B5 Certificates and the Class 2-B6 Certificates equals or exceeds 3.70% before giving effect to distributions on such Distribution Date, (iii) the Class 2-B3 Certificates, if on such Distribution Date the aggregate percentage interest in Collateral Pool 2 evidenced by the Class 2-B3 Certificates, the Class 2-B4 Certificates, the Class 2-B5 Certificates and the Class 2-B6 Certificates equals or exceeds 2.50% before giving effect to distributions on such Distribution Date, (iv) the Class 2-B4 Certificates, if on such Distribution Date the aggregate percentage interest in Collateral Pool 2 evidenced by the Class 2-B4 Certificates, the Class 2-B5 Certificates and the Class 2-B6 Certificates equals or exceeds 1.75% before giving effect to distributions on such Distribution Date, (v) the Class 2-B5 Certificates, if on such Distribution Date the aggregate percentage interest in Collateral Pool 2 evidenced by the Class 2-B5 Certificates and the Class 2-B6 Certificates equals or
exceeds 0.85% before giving effect to distributions on such Distribution Date and (vi) the Class 2-B6 Certificates, if on such Distribution Date the percentage interest in Collateral Pool 2 evidenced by the Class 2-B6 Certificates equals or exceeds 0.40% before giving effect to distributions on such Distribution Date. If any of the foregoing Certificates is not an Eligible Class, any amounts allocable to principal and distributable pursuant to this Section 4.01(b)(ii) shall be distributed only among the Certificates that are Eligible Classes in the manner set forth above.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the application of the foregoing on any Distribution Date as provided in Section 4.01 would result in a distribution in respect of principal to any Class or Classes of Subordinate Certificates in an amount greater than the remaining Certificate Principal Balance thereof (any such Class, a “Maturing Class”) then: (a) the amount to be allocated to each Maturing Class shall be reduced to a level that, when applied as described above, would exactly reduce the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class to zero and (b) the total amount of the reduction in the amount to be allocated to the Maturing Class or Classes shall be allocated among the remaining related Eligible Classes on a pro
rata basis in proportion to the respective outstanding Certificate Principal Balances thereof prior to the allocation thereto of any of the amounts described in the preceding sentence.

 

(c)  All distributions made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests. Payments in respect of each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date will be made to the Holders of the respective Class of record on the related Record Date (except as otherwise provided in Section 4.01(e) or Section 9.01 respecting the final distribution on such Class), based on the aggregate Percentage
Interest represented by their respective Certificates, and shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of any such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Holder shall have so notified the Paying Agent in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date and with respect to any Class of Certificates other than the Residual Certificates is the registered owner of Certificates having an initial aggregate Certificate Principal Balance that is in excess of the lesser of (i) $5,000,000 or (ii) two-thirds of the initial Certificate Principal Balance of such Class of Certificates, or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office of the Certificate
Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be responsible for crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating brokerage firm (a “brokerage firm” or “indirect participating firm”) for which it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar, the Authenticating Agent, the Depositor or the Master
Servicer shall have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by this Agreement or applicable law.

 

(d)  The rights of the Certificateholders to receive distributions in respect of the Certificates, and all interests of the Certificateholders in such distributions, shall be as set forth in this Agreement. None of the Holders of any Class of Certificates, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Authenticating Agent, the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar or the Master Servicer shall in any way be responsible or liable to the Holders of any other Class of Certificates in respect of amounts properly previously distributed on the Certificates.

 

(e)  Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the Trust Administrator expects that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall so timely advise the Paying Agent and the Paying Agent shall, no later than five days after the latest related Determination Date, mail on such date to each Holder of such Class of Certificates a notice to the effect that:

 

(i)  the Paying Agent expects that the final distribution with respect to such Class of Certificates will be made on such Distribution Date, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office of the Certificate Registrar therein specified,

 

(ii)  no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after the end of the related Interest Accrual Period, and

 

(iii)  any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust by the Paying Agent and credited to the account of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(e) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Paying Agent shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final
distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall, directly or through an agent, mail a final notice to remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates and shall continue to hold any remaining funds for the benefit of non-tendering Certificateholders. The costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining in such trust fund. If within one year after the final notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Citigroup Global Markets Inc. all such amounts, and all rights of non-tendering Certificateholders in or to such amounts shall thereupon cease. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust by the Paying Agent as a result of such
Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(e).

Remittance Reports; P&I Advances.






 

(a)  On the second Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Credit Risk Manager and the Trustee by telecopy (or by such other means as the Master Servicer, the Paying Agent and the Trust Administrator and the Trustee may agree from time to time) a Remittance Report with respect to the related Distribution Date. Such Remittance Report will include (i) the amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Master Servicer in respect of the related Distribution Date, the aggregate amount of P&I Advances outstanding after giving effect to such P&I Advances, and the aggregate amount of Nonrecoverable P&I
Advances in respect of such Distribution Date and (ii) such other information with respect to the Mortgage Loans as the Trust Administrator or the Paying Agent may reasonably require to perform the calculations necessary for the Paying Agent to make the distributions contemplated by Section 4.01 and for the Trust Administrator to prepare the statements to Certificateholders contemplated by Section 4.02; provided, however, that if the Master Servicer is not the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer will forward to the successor Trust Administrator the information set forth in clause (i) above on the next Business Day following the latest related Determination Date and the information set forth in clause (ii) above on the fifth Business Day following the last day of the related calendar month. Neither the Trustee, the Paying Agent nor the Trust Administrator shall be responsible to recompute, recalculate or verify any information provided to it by the Master Servicer.

 

(b)  The amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Master Servicer for any Distribution Date shall equal, subject to Section 4.03(d), the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (with each interest portion thereof net of the related Servicing Fee), due on the related Due Date in respect of the Mortgage Loans, which Monthly Payments were delinquent as of the close of business on the related Determination Date and (ii) with respect to each REO Property, which REO Property was acquired during or prior to the related Prepayment Period and as to which such REO Property an REO Disposition did not occur during the related Prepayment Period, an amount equal to the Monthly Payments (with each
interest portion thereof net of the related Servicing Fee) that would have been due on the related Due Date in respect of the related Mortgage Loans.

 

On or before 12:00 p.m. New York time on the Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall remit in immediately available funds to the Paying Agent for deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the aggregate amount of P&I Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties for the related Distribution Date either (i) from its own funds or, if received from a Sub-Servicer, from funds remitted by a Sub-Servicer in payment of required P&I Advances or (ii) from the Collection Account, to the extent of funds held therein for future distribution (in which case, it will cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of Collection Account that amounts held for future distribution have been, as permitted by this Section 4.03, used by the Master
Servicer in discharge of any such P&I Advance) or (iii) in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties. Any amounts held for future distribution and so used shall be appropriately reflected in the Master Servicer’s records and replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on or before any future Master Servicer Remittance Date to the extent that the Available Distribution Amount for the related Distribution Date (determined without regard to P&I Advances to be made on the Master Servicer Remittance Date) shall be less than the total amount that would be distributed to the Classes of Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.01 on such Distribution Date if such amounts held for future distributions had not been so used to make P&I Advances. The Trust Administrator will provide notice to the Master Servicer by telecopy by the
close of business on the Master Servicer Remittance Date in the event that the amount remitted by the Master Servicer to the Trust Administrator on such Master Servicer Remittance Date is less than the P&I Advances required to be made by the Master Servicer for the related Distribution Date.

 

(c)  The obligation of the Master Servicer to make such P&I Advances is mandatory, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject to (d) below, and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property, shall continue until a Final Recovery Determination in connection therewith or the removal thereof from REMIC I-A or REMIC II-A pursuant to any applicable provision of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Section.

 

(d)  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the Master Servicer if such P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. The determination by the Master Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate of the Master Servicer delivered to the Depositor, the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Credit Risk Manager and the Trustee. 

 

(e)  If the Master Servicer shall fail to make any P&I Advance on any Master Servicer Remittance Date required to be made from its own funds pursuant to this Section 4.03, then the Paying Agent, by not later than 1:00 p.m. on the related Distribution Date, shall make such P&I advance from its own funds by depositing the amount of such advance into the Distribution Account, and the Trust Administrator and the Paying Agent shall include the amount so advanced by the Paying Agent in the Available Distribution Amount distributed on such Distribution Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Collateral Pool 1, (i) any Excess Loss that is allocated to the Class 1-A2A Certificates and Class 1-A2B Certificates will be allocated between such Classes on a pro rata basis, and any Realized Losses (other than any Excess Losses) allocated to the Class 1-A2A Certificates and Class 1-A2B Certificates will be allocated first to the Class 1-A2B Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero and then to the Class 1-A2A Certificates, (ii) any Excess Loss that is allocated to the Class 1-A3A Certificates and Class 1-A3B Certificates will be allocated between
such Classes on a pro rata basis, and any Realized Losses (other than any Excess Losses) allocated to the Class 1-A3A Certificates and Class 1-A3B Certificates will be allocated first to the Class 1-A3B Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero and then to the Class 1-A3A Certificates and (iii) any Excess Loss that is allocated to the Class 1-A4A Certificates and Class 1-A4B Certificates will be allocated between such Classes on a pro rata basis, and any Realized Losses (other than any Excess Losses) allocated to the Class 1-A4A Certificates and Class 1-A4B Certificates will be allocated first to the Class 1-A4B
Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero and then to the Class 1-A4A Certificates. 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Collateral Pool 2, (i) any Excess Loss that is allocated to the Class 2-A1A Certificates and Class 2-A1B Certificates will be allocated between such Classes on a pro rata basis; and any Realized Losses (other than any Excess Losses) allocated to the Class 2-A1A Certificates and Class 2-A1B Certificates will be allocated first to the Class 2-A1B Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero and then to the Class 2-A1A Certificates, (ii) any Excess Loss that is allocated to the Class 2-A2A Certificates and Class 2-A2B Certificates will be allocated between

Notwithstanding the method of allocation of Realized Losses and Extraordinary Fund Expenses above, if any overcollateralization exists when Realized Losses or Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses are to be allocated, such Realized Losses or Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses will be allocated first to the overcollateralization, until the overcollateralization is reduced to zero, prior to allocating such Realized Losses or Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses to the Certificates in accordance with the priorities set forth above.

 

As used herein, an allocation of a Realized Loss or Extraordinary Trust Fund Expense on a “pro rata basis” among two or more specified Classes of Certificates means an allocation on a pro rata basis, among the various Classes so specified, to each such Class of Certificates on the basis of their then outstanding Certificate Principal Balances prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date. All Realized Losses and all other
losses allocated to a Class of Certificates hereunder will be allocated among the Certificates of such Class in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby. Any allocation of a Realized Loss of Extraordinary Trust Fund Expense to a Certificate shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance thereof by the amount so allocated as of the Distribution Date following the Prepayment Period in which such Realized Loss was incurred.

 

(c)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the Certificate Principal Balance of a Class A Certificate be reduced more than once in respect of any particular amount both (i) allocable to such Certificate in respect of Realized Losses or Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses pursuant to Section 4.04 and (ii) payable to the Holder of such Certificate pursuant to Section 4.01(a) as a portion of the Senior Principal Distribution Amount.

Any disclosure in addition to the monthly statement required to be included on the Form 10-D (“Additional Form 10-D Disclosure”) shall be determined and prepared by the entity that is indicated in Exhibit B as the responsible party for providing that information, and
shall be reported by such entity to the Depositor and the Trust Administrator and approved by the Depositor. The Trust Administrator shall have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure absent such reporting (other than in the case where the Trust Administrator is the reporting party as set forth in Exhibit B) and approval, and the Trust Administrator will have no duty or liability to verify the accuracy or sufficiency of any such Additional Form 10-D Disclosure (except in any case where the Trust Administrator is the responsible party for providing that information pursuant to Exhibit B).

be, the Additional Form 10-D Disclosure. 

 

After preparing the Form 10-D, the Trust Administrator shall forward electronically a copy of the Form 10-D to the Depositor (in every case where the Form 10-D includes Additional 10-D Disclosure and otherwise if requested by the Depositor) and the Master Servicer for review. Within two Business Days after receipt of such copy, but no later than the 12th calendar day after the Distribution Date (provided that, the Trust Administrator shall have forwarded a copy of the Form 10-D no later than the 10th calendar after the Distribution Date), the Depositor shall notify the Trust Administrator in writing (which may be furnished electronically) of any changes to or approval of such Form 10-D. In the absence of receipt of any written changes or approval, the Trust Administrator shall be entitled to assume that such

4.06(a)(i) and (v) related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 10-D is contingent upon such parties strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under such Sections. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trust Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file such Form 10-D, where such failure results from the Master Servicer’s or the Trust Administrator’s inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-D, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

 

(ii)  Within 4 Business Days after the occurrence of an event requiring disclosure on Form 8-K (each such event, a “Reportable Event”), the Trust Administrator shall prepare and file, at the direction of the Depositor, on behalf of the Trust, any Form 8-K, as required by the Exchange Act; provided that, the Depositor shall file the initial Form 8-K in connection with the issuance of the Certificates.

electronically) of any changes to or approval of such Form 8-K. In the absence of receipt of any written changes or approval, the Trust Administrator shall be entitled to assume that such Form 8-K is in final form and the Trust Administrator may proceed with arrangements for the execution of, and filing of, the Form 8-K.

If the indemnification provided for under this paragraph is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Depositor, then the Paying Agent agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Depositor as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Depositor in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor on the one hand and the Paying Agent on the other. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Paying Agent be liable under this paragraph for any consequential, indirect or punitive damages.

ARTICLE V


THE CERTIFICATES

 


	SECTION 5.01  	
The Certificates.






 

(a)  The Certificates in the aggregate will represent the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other assets included in the Trust Fund. At the Closing Date, the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Certificates will equal the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans.

 

The Certificates will be substantially in the forms annexed hereto as Exhibits A-1 through A-38. The Certificates of each Class will be issuable in registered form only, in denominations of authorized Percentage Interests as described in the definition thereof. Each Certificate will share ratably in all rights of the related Class.

 

Upon original issue, the Certificates shall be executed by the Paying Agent and delivered by the Authenticating Agent to or upon the order of the Depositor. The Certificates shall be executed and attested by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Paying Agent by an authorized signatory. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Paying Agent shall bind the Paying Agent, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the execution, authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided herein executed by the Authenticating Agent by manual signature, and such certificate of authentication shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.

 

(b)  The Book-Entry Certificates shall initially be issued as one or more Certificates held by Book-Entry Custodian or, if appointed to hold such Certificates as provided below, the Depository and registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and, except as provided below, registration of such Certificates may not be transferred by the Certificate Registrar except to another Depository that agrees to hold such Certificates for the respective Certificate Owners with Ownership Interests therein. The Certificate Owners shall hold their respective Ownership Interests in and to such Certificates through the book-entry facilities of the Depository and, except as provided below, shall not be entitled
to definitive, fully registered Certificates (“Definitive Certificates”) in respect of such Ownership Interests. All transfers by Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership Interests in the Book- Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer the Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s normal procedures. The Paying Agent is hereby initially appointed as the Book-Entry Custodian and hereby agrees to act as such in accordance herewith and in accordance with the agreement that it has with the Depository authorizing it to act as such. The Book-Entry Custodian may, and if it is no longer qualified to act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian shall, appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator and any other transfer agent (including the Depository or any successor Depository) to act as Book-Entry Custodian under such conditions as the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian and the Depository or any successor Depository may prescribe, provided that the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities by reason of any such appointment of other than the Depository. If the Paying Agent resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, the successor Paying Agent or, if it so elects, the Depository shall immediately succeed to its predecessor’s duties as Book-Entry Custodian. The Depositor shall have the right to inspect, and to obtain copies of, any Certificates held as Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian.

 

The Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Paying Agent, the Authenticating Agent, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor may for all purposes (including the making of payments due on the Book-Entry Certificates) deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the Certificate Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates for the purposes of exercising the rights of Certificateholders hereunder. The rights of Certificate Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Depository Participants and brokerage firms representing such Certificate Owners. Multiple requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as Holder of the Book-Entry Certificates with respect
to any particular matter shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners. The Paying Agent may establish a reasonable record date in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by Certificateholders and shall give notice to the Depository of such record date.

 

If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor or (ii) after the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default, Certificate Owners representing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the Ownership Interests of the Book-Entry Certificates advise the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar through the Depository, in writing, that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners, the Certificate Registrar shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the
occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Certificate Registrar of the Book- Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian or the Depository, as applicable, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer, the Paying Agent shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Such Definitive Certificates will be issued in minimum denominations of $100,000, except that any beneficial ownership that was represented by a Book-Entry Certificate in an amount less than $100,000 immediately prior to the issuance of a Definitive Certificate shall be issued in a minimum denomination equal to the amount represented by such Book-Entry Certificate. None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Authenticating Agent, the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in the delivery of such instructions and may
conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Certificate Registrar and the Paying Agent, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates, and the Certificate Registrar and the Paying Agent shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder. 

 


	SECTION 5.02  	
Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.






 

(a)  The Certificate Registrar shall cause to be kept at one of the offices or agencies to be appointed by the Trust Administrator in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.12 a Certificate Register for the Certificates in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.

 

(b)  No transfer of any Private Certificate or Ownership Interest therein shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and an effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer of a Private Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification (other than in connection with the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate of the Depositor), the Certificate Registrar shall require, receipt of written
certifications from the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and from such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit F-1, or in the case of any Definitive Certificate, an opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such registration (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Authenticating Agent , the Paying Agent, the Master Servicer in its capacity as such or any Sub-Servicer), together with copies of the written certification(s) of the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is based, if any. In the event of any such transfer of any Ownership Interest in any Private Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate, except with respect to the initial transfer of any such Certificate
by the Depositor, such transfer shall be required to be made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, and the transferor will be deemed to have made each of the representations and warranties set forth on Exhibit F-1 hereto in respect of such interest as if it was evidenced by a Definitive Certificate and the transferee will be deemed to have made each of the representations and warranties set forth on Exhibit F-1 hereto in respect of such interest as if it was evidenced by a Definitive Certificate. None of the Depositor or the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify any such Certificates under the 1933 Act or any other securities laws or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer of any such Certificate or Ownership Interest therein shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Certificate
Registrar, the Paying Agent, the Authenticating Agent, the Master Servicer and the Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws. 

 

(c)  (i) No transfer of a Residual Certificate or any interest therein shall be made to any Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any Person acquiring such Certificates with “Plan Assets” of a Plan within the meaning of the DOL Regulations, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA (“Plan Assets”) as certified by such transferee in the form of Exhibit G, unless the Certificate Registrar is provided with an Opinion of Counsel on which the Certificate Registrar, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Paying
Agent, the Authenticating Agent and the Master Servicer may rely, to the effect that the purchase and holding of such Certificates will be permissible under applicable law, ERISA and the Code, will not constitute or result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Authenticating Agent, the Certificate Registrar or the Trust Fund to any obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Authenticating Agent, the Certificate Registrar or the Trust Fund. In lieu of such Opinion of Counsel, any prospective Transferee of such Certificates may provide a certification in the form of Exhibit G to this
Agreement (or other form acceptable to the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent, the Authenticating Agent and the Master Servicer), which the Certificate Registrar may rely upon without further inquiry or investigation. Neither a certification nor an Opinion of Counsel will be required in connection with the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an Affiliate of the Depositor (in which case, the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof shall have deemed to have represented that such Affiliate is not a Plan or a Person investing Plan Assets) and the Certificate Registrar shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the request of the Certificate Registrar, shall be a written representation) from the Depositor of the status of such transferee as an affiliate of the Depositor. 

 

(ii)  Each beneficial owner of a Subordinate Certificate or Class P Certificate or any interest therein shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition and holding of such Certificate or interest therein, that either (A) it is not a Plan or investing with Plan Assets, (B) other than with respect to a Class P Certificate, Class 1-B4 Certificate, Class 1-B5 Certificate, Class 1-B6 Certificate, Class 2-B4 Certificate, Class 2-B5 Certificate or Class 2-B6 Certificate, it has acquired and is holding such Certificate in reliance on the Underwriter’s Exemption granted by the Department of Labor on April 18, 1991 as Prohibited Transaction Exemption (“PTE”) 91-23 at 56 F.R. 15936
and amended on July 21, 1997 as PTE 97-34 at 62 F.R. 39021 and further amended on November 13, 2000 by PTE 2000-58 at 65 F.R. 67765 and on August 22, 2002 by PTE 2002-41 at 67 F.R. 54487 (“Underwriter’s Exemption”), and that it understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of the Underwriter’s Exemption, including that the certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than “BBB-” (or its equivalent) by Fitch, Moody’s or S&P and it will represent that it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D under the Securities Act and will obtain a representation from any transferee that such transferee is an accredited investor so long as it is required to obtain a representation regarding compliance with the Securities Act, or (C) (i) it is an insurance company, (ii) the source of funds used to acquire or hold the Certificate or interest therein is an “insurance company general account,”
as defined in Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60, and (iii) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.

 

(iii)  If any Certificate or any interest therein is acquired or held in violation of the provisions of the preceding two paragraphs, the next preceding permitted beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner of that Certificate retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial owner. Any purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of any such Certificate or interest therein was effected in violation of the provisions of the preceding two paragraphs shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent, the Authenticating Agent and the Trust Fund from and against any and
all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by those parties as a result of that acquisition or holding.

 

(d)  (i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to have irrevocably authorized the Paying Agent or its designee under clause (iii)(A) below to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (iii)(B) below and to execute all instruments of Transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such sale. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following
provisions:

 

(A)  Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Certificate Registrar of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.

 

(B)  In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall require delivery to it and shall not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate until its receipt of an affidavit and agreement (a “Transfer Affidavit and Agreement”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-2, from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, representing and warranting, among other things, that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee, that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate that is the subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any
Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, that for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and that it has reviewed the provisions of this Section 5.02(d) and agrees to be bound by them.

 

(C)  Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar who is assigned to this transaction has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected.

 

(D)  Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate and (y) not to transfer its Ownership Interest unless it provides a transferor affidavit (a “Transferor Affidavit”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-2, to the Certificate Registrar stating that, among other things, it has no actual knowledge that such other Person is not a Permitted Transferee.

 

(E)  Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, by purchasing an Ownership Interest in such Certificate, agrees to give the Certificate Registrar written notice that it is a “pass-through interest holder” within the meaning of temporary Treasury regulation Section 1.67- 3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, if it is, or is holding an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate on behalf of, a “pass-through interest holder.”

 

(ii)  The Certificate Registrar will register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate only if it shall have received the Transfer Affidavit and Agreement and all of such other documents as shall have been reasonably required by the Certificate Registrar as a condition to such registration. In addition, no Transfer of a Residual Certificate shall be made unless the Certificate Registrar shall have received a representation letter from the Transferee of such Certificate to the effect that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee.

 

(iii)  (A) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(d), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Certificate Registrar shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(d) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking
any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement.

 

(B)  If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section 5.02(d) and to the extent that the retroactive restoration of the rights of the Holder of such Residual Certificate as described in clause (iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the Certificate Registrar shall have the right, without notice to the Holder or any prior Holder of such Residual Certificate, to sell such Residual Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Certificate Registrar on such terms as the Certificate Registrar may choose. Such purported Transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver each Residual Certificate in accordance with the
instructions of the Certificate Registrar. Such purchaser may be the Certificate Registrar itself or any Affiliate of the Certificate Registrar. The proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Certificate Registrar or its Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Certificate Registrar to such purported Transferee. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (iii)(B) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.

 

(iv)  The Trust Administrator and the Certificate Registrar shall make available to the Internal Revenue Service and those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions all information necessary to compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified Organization, including the information described in Treasury regulations sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5) with respect to the “excess inclusions” of such Residual Certificate and (B) as a result of any regulated investment company, real estate investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust, estate or organization described in Section 1381 of
the Code that holds an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate having as among its record holders at any time any Person which is a Disqualified Organization. Reasonable compensation for providing such information may be accepted by the Trust Administrator and the Certificate Registrar.

 

(v)  The provisions of this Section 5.02(d) set forth prior to this subsection (v) may be modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there shall have been delivered to the Trust Administrator and the Certificate Registrar at the expense of the party seeking to modify, add to or eliminate any such provision the following:

 

(A)  written notification from the Rating Agencies to the effect that the modification, addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause the Rating Agencies to downgrade its then-current ratings of any Class of Certificates; and

 

(B)  an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Trust Administrator, to the effect that such modification of, addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause any Trust REMIC to cease to qualify as a REMIC and will not cause (x) any Trust REMIC to be subject to an entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of any Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee or (y) a Person other than the prospective transferee to be subject to a REMIC-tax caused by the Transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.

 

(e)  Subject to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of the Certificate Registrar maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12, the Certificate Registrar shall give notice of such surrender to the Paying Agent and the Authenticating Agent. Upon receipt of such notice, the Paying Agent shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated Transferee or Transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class of a like aggregate Percentage Interest.

 

(f)  At the option of the Holder thereof, any Certificate may be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class with authorized denominations and a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of such Certificate to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Certificate Registrar maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, upon notice from the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so
required by the Certificate Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

 

(g)  No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any transfer or 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 transfer or exchange of Certificates.

 

(h)  All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be canceled and destroyed by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with its customary procedures.

 


	SECTION 5.03  	
Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.






 

If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of actual knowledge by the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Paying Agent shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of the same Class and of like denomination and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new
Certificate under this Section, the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the applicable REMIC created hereunder, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any such person against any breach of warranties, representations or covenants made herein, or against any specific liability imposed on the Master Servicer pursuant hereto, or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and
duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, PRIMA FACIE, is properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense to any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) or any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties
hereunder. Neither the Depositor nor the Master Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action is related to its respective duties under this Agreement and, in its opinion, does not involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that each of the Depositor and the Master Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, unless the Depositor or the Master Servicer acts without the consent of Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights (which consent shall not be necessary in the case of litigation or other legal action by either to enforce their respective rights or defend themselves hereunder), the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom (except any loss, liability or
expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder) shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor (subject to the limitations set forth above) and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as and to the extent provided in Section 3.11, any such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account.

 


	SECTION 6.04  	
Limitation on Resignation of the Master Servicer.






 

The Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (i) upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or (ii) with the written consent of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, with written confirmation from the Rating Agencies (which confirmation shall be furnished to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator) that such resignation will not cause the Rating Agencies to reduce the then current rating of the Class A Certificates and provided that a qualified successor has agreed to assume the duties and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder. Any such determination pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence permitting the resignation of the Master
Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect obtained at the expense of the Master Servicer and delivered to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator. No resignation of the Master Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer shall have assumed the Master Servicer’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities (other than those liabilities arising prior to the appointment of such successor) and obligations under this Agreement.

 

Except as expressly provided herein, the Master Servicer shall not assign nor transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person, nor delegate to or subcontract with, nor authorize or appoint any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by the Master Servicer hereunder. If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the Master Servicer are transferred to a successor master servicer, the entire amount of the Servicing Fee and other compensation payable to the Master Servicer pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable to such successor master servicer.

 


	SECTION 6.05  	
Rights of the Depositor in Respect of the Master Servicer.






 

The Master Servicer shall afford (and any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall provide that each Sub-Servicer shall afford) the Depositor, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours, access to all records maintained by the Master Servicer (and any such Sub-Servicer) in respect of the Master Servicer’s rights and obligations hereunder and access to officers of the Master Servicer (and those of any such Sub-Servicer) responsible for such obligations. Upon request, the Master Servicer shall furnish to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator its (and any such Sub-Servicer’s) most recent financial statements of the parent company of the Master Servicer and such other information relating to the Master Servicer’s capacity to perform its
obligations under this Agreement that it possesses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of each Initial Sub-Servicer, such access and information described in the preceding two sentences shall be required to be provided only to the extent provided in the Sub-Servicing Agreement. To the extent such information is not otherwise available to the public, the Depositor, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall not disseminate any information obtained pursuant to the preceding two sentences without the Master Servicer’s written consent, except as required pursuant to this Agreement or to the extent that it is appropriate to do so (i) in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies, rating agencies or reinsurers or (ii) pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Trust Fund, and in either
case, the Depositor, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the case may be, shall use its best efforts to assure the confidentiality of any such disseminated non-public information. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer under this Agreement or exercise the rights of the Master Servicer under this Agreement; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations under this Agreement by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. The Depositor shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer and is not obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.

 


	SECTION 6.06  	
Duties of the Credit Risk Manager.






 

For and on behalf of the Trust, the Credit Risk Manager will provide reports and recommendations concerning certain delinquent and defaulted Group 2 Mortgage Loans, and as to the collection of any Prepayment Charges with respect to the Group 2 Mortgage Loans. Such reports and recommendations will be based upon information provided to the Credit Risk Manager pursuant to the respective Credit Risk Management Agreement, and the Credit Risk Manager shall look solely to the related Initial Sub-Servicers and/or the Master Servicer for all information and data (including loss and delinquency information and data) relating to the servicing of the related Mortgage Loans. Upon any termination of the Credit Risk Manager or the appointment of a successor Credit Risk Manager, the Depositor shall give written notice thereof
to the Initial Sub-Servicers, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and each Rating Agency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the termination of the Credit Risk Manager pursuant to this Section shall not become effective until the appointment of a successor Credit Risk Manager.

 


	SECTION 6.07  	
Limitation Upon Liability of the Credit Risk Manager.






 

Neither the Credit Risk Manager, nor any of its directors, officers, employees, or agents shall be under any liability to the Trustee, the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Depositor for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action made in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, in reliance upon information provided by the related Initial Sub-Servicer under the related Credit Risk Management Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Credit Risk Manager or any such person against liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful malfeasance or bad faith in its performance of its duties. The Credit Risk Manager and any director, officer, employee, or agent of the Credit Risk Manager may
rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder, and may rely in good faith upon the accuracy of information furnished by the related Initial Sub-Servicer pursuant to the applicable Credit Risk Management Agreement in the performance of its duties thereunder and hereunder.

The Certificateholders shall provide written notice of the Credit Risk Manager’s removal to the Trust Administrator. Upon receipt of such notice, the Trust Administrator shall provide written notice to the Credit Risk Manager of its removal, which shall be effective upon receipt of such notice by the Credit Risk Manager.

	SECTION 7.01  	
Master Servicer Events of Default.






 

“Master Servicer Event of Default,” wherever used herein, means any one of the following events:

 

(i)  (A) any failure by the Master Servicer to remit to the Paying Agent for distribution to the Certificateholders any payment (other than a P&I Advance required to be made from its own funds on any Master Servicer Remittance Date pursuant to Section 4.03) required to be made under the terms of the Certificates and this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of one Business Day after the date upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer (with a copy to the Paying Agent ) by the Depositor, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee
(in which case notice shall be provided by telecopy), or to the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; or (B) any deemed Master Servicer Event of Default caused by a failure by the Master Servicer to timely comply with its obligations under Section 3.19 or Section 3.20 or Section 4.06, taking into account any cure period allowed by the Trustee at the direction of the Depositor that may be provided under such sections; or

 

(ii)  any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Master Servicer contained in the Certificates or in this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the earlier of (i) the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Depositor, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, or to the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights and (ii) actual knowledge of such failure by a Servicing Officer
of the Master Servicer; or

 

(iii)  a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceeding, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Master Servicer and if such proceeding is being contested by the Master Servicer in good faith such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive days or results in the entry of an order for
relief or any such adjudication or appointment; or

 

(iv)  the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Master Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

 

(v)  the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or

 

(vi)  any failure of the Master Servicer to make, or of the Paying Agent to make on behalf of the Master Servicer, any P&I Advance on any Master Servicer Remittance Date required to be made from its own funds pursuant to Section 4.03.

 

If a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (v) of this Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Master Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Depositor or the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer (and to the Depositor if given by the Trustee or to the Trustee if given by the Depositor), terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer in its capacity as a Master Servicer under this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. If a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clause (vi) hereof shall occur and shall
not have been remedied by 1:00 p.m. on the related Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall notify the Trustee of the same, and the Trustee shall be obligated to make such P&I Advance and, then so long as such Master Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied during the applicable time period set forth in clause (vi) above (including the reimbursement to the Trustee by the Master Servicer, with interest thereon at the Prime Rate, for any P&I Advance made), the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer and the Depositor, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer in its capacity as a Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall
pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute and deliver on behalf of and at the expense of the Master Servicer, any and all documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees, at its sole cost and expense, promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to such notice) to provide the Trustee with all documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s functions under this Agreement, and to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights under this Agreement, including, without
limitation, the transfer within one Business Day to the Trustee for administration by it of all cash amounts which at the time shall be or should have been credited by the Master Servicer to the Collection Account held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer, the Distribution Account or any REO Account or Servicing Account held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property serviced by the Master Servicer (provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, whether in respect of P&I Advances or otherwise, and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.03, notwithstanding any such termination, with respect to events occurring prior to such termination). For purposes of this Section 7.01, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Master Servicer Event of Default unless
a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Master Servicer Event of Default is received by the Trustee and such notice references the Certificates, the Trust Fund or this Agreement.

 


	SECTION 7.02  	
Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.






 

(a)  On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not have the right to withdraw any funds from the Collection Account without the consent of the Trustee and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the Master Servicer (except for any representations or warranties of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, the responsibilities, duties and liabilities contained in Section 2.03(c) and its
obligation to deposit amounts in respect of losses pursuant to Section 3.12) by the terms and provisions hereof including, without limitation, the Master Servicer’s obligations to make P&I Advances pursuant to Section 4.03; provided, however, that if the Trustee is prohibited by law or regulation from obligating itself to make advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans, then the Trustee shall not be obligated to make P&I Advances pursuant to Section 4.03; and provided further, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer’s failure to provide information required by Section 7.01 shall not be considered a default by the Trustee as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to the Servicing Fees and all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans to which the Master Servicer would have been entitled if it had continued to act hereunder (other than amounts which were due or would become due
to the Master Servicer prior to its termination or resignation). Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act or if it is prohibited by law from making advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans, or if the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights so request in writing to the Trustee, promptly appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, an established mortgage loan servicing institution acceptable to the Rating Agencies and having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 as the successor to the Master Servicer under this Agreement in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer under this Agreement. No appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer under this Agreement shall be effective until the assumption by the successor of all of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder. In
connection with such appointment and assumption described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Master Servicer as such hereunder. The Depositor, the Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer under this Agreement, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided.

 

(b)  In connection with the termination or resignation of the Master Servicer hereunder, either (i) the successor servicer, including the Trustee, if the Trustee is acting as successor Master Servicer, shall represent and warrant that it is a member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply in all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS, in which case the predecessor Master Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Master Servicer in causing MERS to revise its records to reflect the transfer of servicing to the successor Master Servicer as necessary under MERS’ rules and regulations, or
(ii) the predecessor Master Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Master Servicer in causing MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Trustee and to execute and deliver such other notices, documents and other instruments as may be necessary or desirable to effect a transfer of such Mortgage Loan or servicing of such Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System to the successor Master Servicer. The predecessor Master Servicer shall file or cause to be filed any such assignment in the appropriate recording office. The predecessor Master Servicer shall bear any and all fees of MERS, costs of preparing any assignments of Mortgage, and fees and costs of filing any assignments of Mortgage that may be required under this Section 7.02(b).

 


	SECTION 7.03  	
Notification to Certificateholders.






 

(a)  Upon any termination of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01 above or any appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 above, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.

 

(b)  Not later than the later of 60 days after the occurrence of any event, which constitutes or which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a Master Servicer Event of Default or five days after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee becomes aware of the occurrence of such an event, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates notice of each such occurrence, unless such default or Master Servicer Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.

 


	SECTION 7.04  	
Waiver of Master Servicer Events of Default.






 

Subject to Section 11.09(d), the Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting Rights evidenced by all Classes of Certificates affected by any default or Master Servicer Event of Default hereunder may waive such default or Master Servicer Event of Default; provided, however, that a default or Master Servicer Event of Default under clause (i) or (vi) of Section 7.01 may be waived only by all of the Holders of the Regular Certificates. Upon any such waiver of a default or Master Servicer Event of Default, such default or Master Servicer Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Master Servicer Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly
so waived.

(i)  With respect to the Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default, and after the curing of all such Master Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred, and with respect to the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar and the Authenticating Agent, at all times, the duties and obligations of each of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar and the Authenticating Agent, shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, none of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar or the Authenticating Agent shall be liable except for the performance of such

(ii)  None of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar or the Authenticating Agent shall be personally liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of it unless it shall be proved that it was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

In the absence of receipt of such notice or actual knowledge, the Trustee may conclusively assume there is no default.

 

None of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar or the Authenticating Agent shall be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, in each case not including expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar or the Authenticating Agent, as applicable, including the compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel, in the ordinary course of the Trustee’s, the Trust Administrator’s the Paying Agent’s, the Certificate Registrar’s or the Authenticating Agent’s, as the case may be, performance in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. With respect to the Trustee, 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, except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Either of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator may at any time resign and be discharged from the trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Certificateholders and, if the Trustee is resigning, to the Trust Administrator, or, if the Trust Administrator is resigning, to the Trustee. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or trust administrator (which may be the same Person in the event the Trust Administrator resigns or is removed) by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee or Trust Administrator and to the successor trustee or trust administrator, as applicable. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders, the

If at any time the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor (or in the case of the Trust Administrator, the Trustee), or if at any time the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor (or in the case of the Trust Administrator, the Trustee) may remove the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable,

A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders and the Master Servicer by the Depositor. 

 

If no successor Trust Administrator shall have been appointed and shall have accepted appointment within 60 days after the Trust Administrator ceases to be the Trust Administrator pursuant to this Section 8.07, then the Trustee shall perform the duties of the Trust Administrator pursuant to this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Trust Administrator advises the Trustee that it is unable to continue to perform its obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement prior to the appointment of a successor, the Trustee shall be obligated to perform such obligations until a new trust administrator is appointed. Such performance shall be without prejudice to any claim by a party hereto or beneficiary hereof resulting from the Trust Administrator’s breach of
its obligations hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all fees the Trust Administrator would have been entitled to if it had continued to act hereunder.

Any successor trustee or trust administrator appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, and to its predecessor trustee or trust administrator an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee or trust administrator shall become effective and such successor trustee or trust administrator, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee or trust administrator herein.

may consider necessary or desirable. If the Master Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request to do so, or in case a Master Servicer Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to Holders of Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 8.08 hereof.

co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.

 

Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trust conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the
Trustee.

 

Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

(e)  The Trust Administrator shall perform on behalf of any Trust REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of the REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority including the filing of Form 8811 with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days following the Closing Date. Among its other duties, as required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other such compliance guidance, the Trust Administrator shall provide (i) to any Transferor of a Residual Certificate such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual
Certificate to any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or the REMIC Provisions including reports relating to interest, original issue discount and market discount or premium (using the Prepayment Assumption as required) and (iii) to the Internal Revenue Service the name, title, address and telephone number of the person who will serve as the representative of any Trust REMIC.

(f)  The Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall take such action and shall cause any Trust REMIC to take such action as shall be necessary to create or maintain the status thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions. The Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall not take any action, cause the Trust Fund to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section
860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Trustee and the Trust Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action but in no event at the expense of the Trust Administrator or the Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to any Trust REMIC, endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax, nor shall the Master Servicer take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Trustee or the Trust Administrator has advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any Trust REMIC or its assets, or causing any Trust REMIC to take any action,
which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer will consult with the Trustee and the Trust Administrator or their designee, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any Trust REMIC, and the Master Servicer shall not take any such action or cause any Trust REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee or the Trust Administrator has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur. The Trust Administrator and the Trustee may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not permitted by this Agreement, but in no event shall such cost be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator. At all times as may be required by the Code, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee or the Master Servicer will ensure that substantially all of the assets of any Trust REMIC will consist of “qualified
mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

 

(g)  In the event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of the REMIC created hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net income from foreclosure property” of the REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contributions to the REMIC after the Startup Day therefor pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed by the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws, such tax shall be charged (i) to the Trust Administrator pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trust Administrator of any of its obligations under this Article X, (ii) to the Trustee
pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Article X, (iii) to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or this Article X, (iv) to the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Paying Agent of any of its obligations under this Article X, or otherwise (v) against amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account and shall be paid by withdrawal therefrom.

 

(h)  [Reserved].

 

(i)  The Trust Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to any Trust REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.

 

(j)  Following the Startup Day, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall not accept any contributions of assets to any Trust REMIC other than in connection with any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in accordance with Section 2.03 unless it shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in the Trust Fund will not cause the REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or subject the REMIC to any tax under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable provisions of federal, state and local law or ordinances.

 

(k)  None of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Master Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which any Trust REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit either such REMIC to receive any income from assets other than “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

Distribution Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to any Trust REMIC after the Closing Date (other than a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in accordance with Section 2.03), unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator (at the expense of the party seeking to cause such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution but in no event at the expense of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator) that such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution will not (a) affect adversely the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (b) cause any Trust REMIC to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

 


	SECTION 10.03  	
Master Servicer and Trust Administrator Indemnification.






 

(a)  The Trust Administrator agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee for any taxes and costs including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee as a result of a breach of the Trust Administrator’s covenants set forth in this Article X.

Article and Section References.






 

All article and section references used in this Agreement, unless otherwise provided, are to articles and sections in this Agreement.

 


	SECTION 11.09  	
Grant of Security Interest.






 

It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor and not a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Depositor, then, (a) it is the express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor and (b)(1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time
in the State of New York; (2) the conveyance provided for in Section 2.01 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the obligations secured by such security agreement shall be deemed to be all of the Depositor’s obligations under this Agreement, including the obligation to provide to the Certificateholders the benefits of this Agreement relating to the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund; and (4)
notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Accordingly, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other property described in clause (2) of the preceding sentence, for the purpose of securing to the Trustee the performance by the Depositor of the obligations described in clause (3) of the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto intend the conveyance pursuant to Section 2.01 to be a true, absolute and unconditional sale of the Mortgage Loans and assets constituting the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee.

 


	SECTION 11.10  	
Intention of the Parties and Interpretation.






 

Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of Sections 3.20, 3.21 and 4.06 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB promulgated by the Commission under the 1934 Act (17 C.F.R. §§ 229.1100 - 229.1123), as such may be amended from time to time and subject to clarification and interpretive advice as may be issued by the staff of the Commission from time to time. Therefore, each of the parties agrees that (a) the obligations of the parties hereunder shall be interpreted in such a manner as to accomplish that purpose, (b) the parties’ obligations hereunder will be supplemented and modified as necessary to be consistent with any such amendments, interpretive advice or guidance, convention or consensus among active participants
in the asset-backed securities markets, opinion of counsel, or otherwise in respect of the requirements of Regulation AB, (c) the parties shall comply with requests made by the Depositor for delivery of additional or different information, to the extent that such information is available or reasonably attainable, as the Depositor may determine in good faith is necessary to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, and (d) no amendment of this Agreement shall be required to effect any such changes in the parties’ obligations as are necessary to accommodate evolving interpretations of the provisions of Regulation AB; provided, however, that any such changes shall require the consent of each of the parties hereto.

 

All percentages of Voting Rights referred to herein shall be deemed, with respect to matters affecting the related Collateral Pool and the related Certificates, to mean percentages of the Voting Rights with respect to such related Certificates. 

 


























IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Authenticating Agent, the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee have caused their names to be signed hereto by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, in each case as of the day and year first above written.

MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE

 

evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund (the “Trust Fund”) consisting primarily of a pool of conventional one- to four-family, adjustable-rate and fixed-rate, first lien mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) formed and sold by

 

CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC.

 

THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC., THE MASTER SERVICER, THE TRUST ADMINISTRATOR, CITIBANK, N.A., THE TRUSTEE OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.

 

This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of a Percentage Interest (obtained by dividing the denomination of this Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class 1-A1 Certificates as of the Issue Date) in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Class 1-A1 Certificates in the Trust Fund created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as specified above (the “Agreement”), among Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust Inc. (hereinafter called the “Depositor,” which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement), the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A. and the Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized
terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount
required to be distributed to the Holders of Class 1-A1 Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

 

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made or caused to be made by the Paying Agent by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Paying Agent in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Paying Agent of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Paying Agent for
that purpose as provided in the Agreement.

 

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing the Percentage Interest specified above in the Class of Certificates to which this Certificate belongs.

 

The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

 

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A., the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders, under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A. and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement
also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

 

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Certificate Registrar as provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

 

The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

 

The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A., the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A. or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A., the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust Fund of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from the Trust Fund all the Mortgage Loans in the Collateral Pool relating to this Certificate and all
property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan in such Collateral Pool at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates relating to such Collateral Pool; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral Pool at the time of purchase being less than 5% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral Pool as of the Cut-off Date.

 

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.






















IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Paying Agent has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

 

The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A., the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A. or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A., the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust Fund of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from the Trust Fund all the Mortgage Loans in the Collateral Pool relating to this Certificate and all
property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan in such Collateral Pool at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates relating to such Collateral Pool; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral Pool at the time of purchase being less than 5% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral Pool as of the Cut-off Date.

 

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

required to be distributed to the Holders of Class 1-A2B Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

 

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made or caused to be made by the Paying Agent by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Paying Agent in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Paying Agent of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Paying Agent for

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust Fund of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from the Trust Fund all the Mortgage Loans in the Collateral Pool relating to this Certificate and all
property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan in such Collateral Pool at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates relating to such Collateral Pool; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral Pool at the time of purchase being less than 5% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral Pool as of the Cut-off Date.

 

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

To the extent not defined herein, the

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount
required to be distributed to the Holders of Class 1-A4A Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

 

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made or caused to be made by the Paying Agent by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Paying Agent in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Paying Agent of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Paying Agent for

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A., the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders, under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A. and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement
also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

 

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Certificate Registrar as provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

 

Any transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any Person using “Plan Assets” to acquire this Certificate shall be made in accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.

 

The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

 

The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A., the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A. or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A., the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust Fund of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from the Trust Fund all the Mortgage Loans in the Collateral Pool relating to this Certificate and all
property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan in such Collateral Pool at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates relating to such Collateral Pool; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral Pool at the time of purchase being less than 5% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral Pool as of the Cut-off Date.

 

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE

 

evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund (the “Trust Fund”) consisting primarily of a pool of conventional one- to four-family, adjustable-rate and fixed-rate, first lien mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) formed and sold by

 

CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC.

 

THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC., THE MASTER SERVICER, THE TRUST ADMINISTRATOR, CITIBANK, N.A., THE TRUSTEE OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.

 

This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of a Percentage Interest (obtained by dividing the denomination of this Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class 1-B5 Certificates as of the Issue Date) in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Class 1-B5 Certificates in the Trust Fund created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as specified above (the “Agreement”), among Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust Inc. (hereinafter called the “Depositor,” which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement), the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A. and the Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized
terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount
required to be distributed to the Holders of Class 1-B5 Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

 

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made or caused to be made by the Paying Agent by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Paying Agent in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Paying Agent of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Paying Agent for
that purpose as provided in the Agreement.

 

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing the Percentage Interest specified above in the Class of Certificates to which this Certificate belongs.

 

The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

 

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A., the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders, under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A. and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement
also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

 

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Certificate Registrar as provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

 

The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

 

The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A., the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A. or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A., the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust Fund of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from the Trust Fund all the Mortgage Loans in the Collateral Pool relating to this Certificate and all
property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan in such Collateral Pool at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates relating to such Collateral Pool; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral Pool at the time of purchase being less than 5% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral Pool as of the Cut-off Date.

 

No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made to a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), in a transaction that is exempt from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and that does not require registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws. In the event that a transfer of this Certificate is to be made, the Certificate Registrar shall require receipt of written certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such Holder's prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit F-1. None of the Depositor or the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates
specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Trust Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent, the Authenticating Agent and the Master Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

 

No transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any person using Plan Assets to acquire this Certificate shall be made except in accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.

 

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.






















IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Paying Agent has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

ASSET BACKED PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE

 

evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund (the “Trust Fund”) consisting primarily of a pool of conventional one- to four-family, fixed-rate, first lien mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) formed and sold by

 

CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC.

 

THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC., THE SERVICER, THE TRUST ADMINISTRATOR, THE TRUSTEE OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.

 

This certifies that Citigroup Global Markets Inc. is the registered owner of a Percentage Interest (obtained by dividing the denomination of this Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class 1-P Certificates as of the Issue Date) in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Class 1-P Certificates in the Trust Fund created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as specified above (the “Agreement”), among Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust Inc. (hereinafter called the “Depositor,” which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement), the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A. and the Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the
capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount
required to be distributed to the Holders of Class 1-P Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

 

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made or caused to be made by the Paying Agent by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Paying Agent in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Paying Agent of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Paying Agent for
that purpose as provided in the Agreement.

 

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing the Percentage Interest specified above in the Class of Certificates to which the Certificate belongs.

 

The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

 

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A., the Trustee, and the rights of the Certificateholders, under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A. and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement
also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

 

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Certificate Registrar as provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

 

No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and an effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification, the Trust Administrator shall require receipt of (i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such Holder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as
Exhibit F-1, and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Servicer in their respective capacities as such), together with copies of the written certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Holder’s prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is based. None of the Depositor or the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, Citibank, N.A. and any Sub-Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

 

No transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any Person using “Plan Assets” to acquire this Certificate shall be made except in accordance with Section 5.02(b) of the Agreement.

 

The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

 

The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A., the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A. or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A., the Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust Fund of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from the Trust Fund all the Mortgage Loans in the Collateral Pool relating to this Certificate and all
property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan in such Collateral Pool at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates relating to such Collateral Pool; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral Pool at the time of purchase being less than 5% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral Pool as of the Cut-off Date.

 

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

 






















IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Paying Agent has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC., THE MASTER SERVICER, THE TRUSTEE, THE TRUST ADMINSITRATOR, CITIBANK, N.A. OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.

 

This certifies that Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate specified above in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Class 1-R Certificates in the Trust Fund created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as specified above (the “Agreement”), among Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust Inc.

To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount
required to be distributed to the Holders of Class 1-R Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

 

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made or caused to be made by the Paying Agent by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Paying Agent in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Paying Agent of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Paying Agent for
that purpose as provided in the Agreement.

 

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing the Percentage Interest specified above in the Class of Certificates to which this Certificate belongs.

 

The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

 

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A. and the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders, under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A. and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The
Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

 

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Certificate Registrar as provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

 

No transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any Person using “Plan Assets” to acquire this Certificate shall be made except in accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.

 

The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.




Prior to registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate, the proposed transferee shall provide to the Certificate Registrar (i) an affidavit to the effect that such transferee is any Person other than a Disqualified Organization or the agent (including a broker, nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate that acknowledges that (A) the Class 1-R Certificates have been designated as a residual interest in a REMIC, (B) it will include in its income a pro rata share of the net income of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an “excess inclusion,” as defined in the
Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be offset by other losses or benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects to have the financial means to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those relating to holding the Class R Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker, nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall be deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not be deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions in respect of this Certificate.

 

The Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, shall be deemed to have consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the Agreement and to any amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of the Depositor to ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person other than a Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause any Trust Fund to cease to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon the REMIC.

 

The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A., the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A. or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A., the Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust Fund of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.

The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust Fund of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from the Trust Fund all the Mortgage Loans in the Collateral Pool relating to this Certificate and all
property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan in such Collateral Pool at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates relating to such Collateral Pool; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral Pool at the time of purchase being less than 5% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral Pool as of the Cut-off Date.

 

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.






















IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Paying Agent has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust Fund of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from the Trust Fund all the Mortgage Loans in the Collateral Pool relating to this Certificate and all
property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan in such Collateral Pool at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates relating to such Collateral Pool; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral Pool at the time of purchase being less than 5% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral Pool as of the Cut-off Date.

 

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Certificate Registrar as provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

 

Any transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any Person using “Plan Assets” to acquire this Certificate shall be made in accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.

 

The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

 

The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A., the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A. or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A., the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from the Trust Fund all the Mortgage Loans in the Collateral Pool relating to this Certificate and all
property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan in such Collateral Pool at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates relating to such Collateral Pool; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral Pool at the time of purchase being less than 5% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral Pool as of the Cut-off Date.

 

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE

 

evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund (the “Trust Fund”) consisting primarily of a pool of conventional one- to four-family, adjustable-rate and fixed-rate, first lien mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) formed and sold by

 

CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC.

 

THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC., THE MASTER SERVICER, THE TRUST ADMINISTRATOR, CITIBANK, N.A., THE TRUSTEE OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.

 

This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of a Percentage Interest (obtained by dividing the denomination of this Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class 2-B4 Certificates as of the Issue Date) in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Class 2-B4 Certificates in the Trust Fund created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as specified above (the “Agreement”), among Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust Inc. (hereinafter called the “Depositor,” which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement), the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A. and the Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized
terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount
required to be distributed to the Holders of Class 2-B4 Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

 

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made or caused to be made by the Paying Agent by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Paying Agent in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Paying Agent of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Paying Agent for
that purpose as provided in the Agreement.

 

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing the Percentage Interest specified above in the Class of Certificates to which this Certificate belongs.

 

The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

 

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A., the Trustee, and the rights of the Certificateholders, under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A. and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement
also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

 

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Certificate Registrar as provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

 

The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

 

The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A., the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A. or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A., the Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust Fund of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from the Trust Fund all the Mortgage Loans in the Collateral Pool relating to this Certificate and all
property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan in such Collateral Pool at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates relating to such Collateral Pool; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral Pool at the time of purchase being less than 5% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral Pool as of the Cut-off Date.

 

No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made to a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), in a transaction that is exempt from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and that does not require registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws. In the event that a transfer of this Certificate is to be made, the Certificate Registrar shall require receipt of written certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such Holder's prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit F-1. None of the Depositor or the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates
specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Trust Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent, the Authenticating Agent and the Master Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

 

No transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any person using Plan Assets to acquire this Certificate shall be made except in accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.

 

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

 






















IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Paying Agent has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized
terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount
required to be distributed to the Holders of Class 2-B6 Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

 

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made or caused to be made by the Paying Agent by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Paying Agent in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Paying Agent of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Paying Agent for
that purpose as provided in the Agreement.

 

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing the Percentage Interest specified above in the Class of Certificates to which this certificate belongs.

 

The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

 

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A., the Trustee, and the rights of the Certificateholders, under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A., and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement
also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

 

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Certificate Registrar as provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

 

The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust Fund of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from the Trust Fund all the Mortgage Loans in the Collateral Pool relating to this Certificate and all
property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan in such Collateral Pool at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates relating to such Collateral Pool; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral Pool at the time of purchase being less than 5% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral Pool as of the Cut-off Date.

 

No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made to a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), in a transaction that is exempt from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and that does not require registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws. In the event that a transfer of this Certificate is to be made, the Certificate Registrar shall require receipt of written certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such Holder's prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit F-1. None of the Depositor or the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates
specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Trust Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent, the Authenticating Agent and the Master Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC.

 

THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC., THE MASTER SERVICER, THE TRUSTEE, THE TRUST ADMINSITRATOR, CITIBANK, N.A. OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.

 

This certifies that Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate specified above in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Class 2-R Certificates in the Trust Fund created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as specified above (the “Agreement”), among Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust Inc. (hereinafter called the “Depositor,” which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement), the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A. and the Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under
and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount
required to be distributed to the Holders of Class 2-R Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

 

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made or caused to be made by the Paying Agent by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Paying Agent in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Paying Agent of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Paying Agent for
that purpose as provided in the Agreement.

 

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing the Percentage Interest specified above in the Class of Certificates to which this Certificate belongs.

 

The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

 

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A. and the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders, under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A. and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The
Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

 

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Certificate Registrar as provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

 

No transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any Person using “Plan Assets” to acquire this Certificate shall be made except in accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.

 

The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.




Prior to registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate, the proposed transferee shall provide to the Certificate Registrar (i) an affidavit to the effect that such transferee is any Person other than a Disqualified Organization or the agent (including a broker, nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate that acknowledges that (A) the Class 2-R Certificates have been designated as a residual interest in a REMIC, (B) it will include in its income a pro rata share of the net income of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an “excess inclusion,” as defined in the
Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be offset by other losses or benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects to have the financial means to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those relating to holding the Class R Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker, nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall be deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not be deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions in respect of this Certificate.

 

The Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, shall be deemed to have consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the Agreement and to any amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of the Depositor to ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person other than a Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause any Trust Fund to cease to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon the REMIC.

 

The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A., the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A. or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A., the Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust Fund of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from the Trust Fund all the Mortgage Loans in the Collateral Pool relating to this Certificate and all
property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan in such Collateral Pool at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates relating to such Collateral Pool; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral Pool at the time of purchase being less than 5% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral Pool as of the Cut-off Date.

 

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Paying Agent has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

SERVICING CRITERIA TO BE ADDRESSED IN

ASSESSMENT OF COMPLIANCE


 

Definitions

Primary Servicer - transaction party having borrower contact

Master Servicer - aggregator of pool assets

Trust Administrator - waterfall calculator (may be the Trustee, or may be the Master Servicer)

Back-up Servicer - named in the transaction (in the event a Back up Servicer becomes the Primary Servicer, follow Primary Servicer obligations)

Custodian - safe keeper of pool assets

Paying Agent - distributor of funds to ultimate investor 

Trustee - fiduciary of the transaction




Note: The definitions above describe the essential function that the party performs, rather than the party’s title. So, for example, in a particular transaction, the trustee may perform the “paying agent” and “trust administrator” functions, while in another transaction, the trust administrator may perform these functions.




Where there are multiple checks for criteria the attesting party will identify in their management assertion that they are attesting only to the portion of the distribution chain they are responsible for in the related transaction agreements.

FORM OF MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 



MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

This is a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated October 30, 2006 between Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”) and Citigroup Global Markets Realty Corp., a New York corporation (the “Seller”).

 

Preliminary Statement

 

The Seller intends to sell the Mortgage Loans (as hereinafter defined) to the Purchaser on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. The Purchaser intends to deposit the Mortgage Loans into a mortgage pool comprising the trust fund. The trust fund will be evidenced by a single series of mortgage pass-through certificates designated as Series 2006-AR7 (the “Certificates”). The Certificates will consist of thirty-one classes of certificates. The Certificates will be issued pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2006 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among the Purchaser as depositor, CitiMortgage, Inc. as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and as trust administrator (in such capacity, the
“Trust Administrator”) Citibank, N.A. as paying agent, certificate registrar and authenticating agent and U.S. Bank Trust National Association as trustee (the “Trustee”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The parties hereto agree as follows:

 

Section 1.  Agreement to Purchase. The Seller agrees to sell, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase, on or before October 31, 2006 (the “Closing Date”), certain adjustable-rate, conventional residential mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) originated by American Home Mortgage Corp. (“American Home”), Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. (“Countrywide”), Fifth Third Bank (“Fifth Third”), HomeBanc Mortgage Corporation (“HomeBanc”), MortgageIT, Inc. (“MortgageIT”), Quicken Loans Inc. (“Quicken”), Residential Financial Corporation
(“RFC”), Secured Bankers Mortgage Company (“Secured Bankers”) and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”, each an “Originator”, and together, the “Originators”), having an aggregate principal balance as of the close of business on October 1, 2006 (the “Cut-off Date”) of $ 946,083,757 (the “Closing Balance”), after giving effect to all payments due on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date, whether or not received. 

 

Section 2.  Mortgage Loan Schedule. The Purchaser and the Seller have agreed upon which of the mortgage loans owned by the Seller are to be purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and the Seller will prepare or cause to be prepared on or prior to the Closing Date a final schedule (the “Closing Schedule”) that together shall describe such Mortgage Loans and set forth all of the Mortgage Loans to be purchased under this Agreement. The Closing Schedule will conform to the requirements set forth in this Agreement and to the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Closing Schedule shall be used as the Mortgage Loan Schedule under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and shall be prepared by the Seller based on information provided by the Originators.

 

Section 3.  Consideration.

 

(a)  In consideration for the Mortgage Loans to be purchased hereunder, the Purchaser shall, as described in Section 7, pay to or upon the order of the Seller in immediately available funds an amount (the “Mortgage Loan Purchase Price”) equal to the net sale proceeds of the Certificates, plus accrued interest.

 

(b)  The Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser shall be entitled to all scheduled payments of principal due after the Cut-off Date, all other payments of principal due and collected after the Cut-off Date, and all payments of interest on the Mortgage Loans allocable to the period after the Cut-off Date. All scheduled payments of principal and interest due on or before the Cut-off Date and collected after the Cut-off Date shall belong to the Seller.

 

(c)  Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Purchaser will assign all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans, together with its rights under this Agreement, to the Trustee for the benefit of the related Certificateholders.

 

Section 4.  Transfer of the Mortgage Loans.

 

(a)  Possession of Mortgage Files. The Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and convey to the Purchaser, without recourse but subject to the terms of this Agreement, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans. The contents of each Mortgage File not delivered to the Purchaser or to any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser on or prior to the Closing Date are and shall be held in trust by the Seller for the benefit of the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser. Upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans, the ownership of each
Mortgage Note, the related Mortgage and the other contents of the related Mortgage File is vested in the Purchaser and the ownership of all records and documents with respect to each related Mortgage Loan prepared by or that come into the possession of the Seller on or after the Closing Date shall immediately vest in the Purchaser and shall be delivered immediately to the Purchaser or as otherwise directed by the Purchaser.

 

(b)  Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents. The Seller will, on or prior to the Closing Date, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser each of the following documents for each Mortgage Loan:

 

(i)  the original Mortgage Note, endorsed in one of the following forms: (i) in the name of the Trustee or (ii) in blank, in each case, with all prior and intervening endorsements showing a complete chain of endorsement from the originator to the Person so endorsing to the Trustee; 

 

(ii)  the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon; 

 

(iii)  an original Assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form in blank or to the Trustee; 

 

(iv)  the original recorded Assignment or Assignments of the Mortgage showing a complete chain of assignment from the originator to the Person assigning the Mortgage in blank or to the Trustee as contemplated by the immediately preceding clause (iii); 

 

(v)  the original of or a copy of each related assumption, modification, consolidation or extension agreement, with evidence of recording thereon, if any; 

 

(vi)  with respect to any Mortgage Loan listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as subject to a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, the original Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or certificate; 

 

(vii)  the original mortgagee title insurance policy or an attorney’s opinion of title where customary; and

 

(viii)  any of the following that are in the possession of the Seller or a document custodian on its behalf: (A) the original of or a copy of any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document executed in connection with the Mortgage or (B) the original of or a copy of any power of attorney, if applicable.

In the event that any such Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Trust Administrator, at the expense of the Seller, shall promptly prepare or cause to be prepared a substitute Assignment or cure or cause to

Notwithstanding the foregoing, but without limiting the requirement that such Assignments be in recordable form, neither the Trust Administrator nor the Trustee shall be required to submit or cause to be submitted for recording each Assignment delivered to it pursuant to Sections 4(b)(iii) and (iv) if such recordation shall not, as of the Closing Date, be required by the Rating Agencies, as a condition to their assignment on the Closing Date of their initial ratings to the Certificates, as evidenced by the delivery by the Rating Agencies of their ratings letters on the Closing Date.

The Purchaser has the right to assign its interest under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to the Trustee, as may be required to effect the purposes of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of the Seller, and the assignee shall succeed to the rights and obligations hereunder of the Purchaser.

The Purchaser may, at its option and without notice to the Seller, purchase all or part of the Mortgage Loans without conducting any partial or complete examination. The fact that the Purchaser or any person has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the Mortgage Files shall not affect the rights of the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser to demand repurchase or other relief as provided herein or under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

	Section 6.  	
Repurchase Obligation for Defective Documentation and for Breach of Representation and Warranty.






 

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser and any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser, including the Trustee for the benefit of holders of the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates evidencing an interest in all or a portion of the Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment or the examination or lack of examination of any Mortgage File. With respect to the representations and warranties contained herein that are made to the knowledge or the best knowledge of the Seller, or as to which the Seller has no knowledge, if it is discovered that the substance of any such representation and
warranty is inaccurate and the inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan, or the interest therein of the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s assignee, designee or transferee, then notwithstanding the Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty being inaccurate at the time the representation and warranty was made, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation and warranty and the Seller shall take such action described in the following paragraphs of this Section 6 in respect of such Mortgage Loan. Upon discovery by either the Seller or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties made by the Seller that materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser (or which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Purchaser in the related Mortgage Loan in the case of a representation and warranty
relating to a particular Mortgage Loan), the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other.

 

Within 90 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller of any breach of a representation or warranty made by the Seller that materially and adversely affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loans or the interest therein of the Purchaser, the Seller shall use its best efforts promptly to cure such breach in all material respects and, if such breach cannot be cured, the Seller shall, at the Purchaser’s option, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price. The Seller may, at the request of the Purchaser and assuming the Seller has a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, rather than repurchase a deficient Mortgage Loan as provided above, remove such Mortgage Loan and substitute in its place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans. If the Seller does not provide a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, it shall repurchase the deficient Mortgage Loan. Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan(s) pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 6 shall occur on a date designated by the Purchaser and shall be accomplished by deposit in accordance with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any repurchase or substitution required by this Section shall be made in a manner consistent with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

At the time of substitution or repurchase by the Seller of any deficient Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser and the Seller shall arrange for the reassignment of the repurchased or substituted Mortgage Loan to the Seller and the delivery to the Seller of any documents held by the Trustee relating to the deficient or repurchased Mortgage Loan. In the event the Purchase Price is deposited in the Collection Account. The Seller shall, simultaneously with such deposit, give written notice to the Purchaser that such deposit has taken place. Upon such repurchase, the Mortgage Loan Schedule shall be amended to reflect the withdrawal of the repurchased Mortgage Loan from this Agreement.

 

As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Seller shall effect such substitution by delivering to the Purchaser or its designee for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment and such other documents and agreements as are required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required therein. The Seller shall remit for deposit in the Collection Account the Monthly Payment due on such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans in the month following the date of such substitution. Monthly payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution will be retained by the Seller. For the month of substitution, distributions
to the Purchaser will include the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan in the month of substitution, and the Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received by the Seller in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. Upon such substitution, the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Seller shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans as of the date of substitution, the covenants, representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.

 

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee on behalf of the Purchaser.

 

It is understood and agreed that (i) the obligations of the Seller set forth in this Section 6 to cure, repurchase and substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan and (ii) the obligations of the Seller as provided in the next sentence constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a missing or defective document or a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 5. The Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 5(a), (c), (d) and (e) this Agreement.

Section 11.  Mandatory Delivery; Grant of Security Interest. The sale and delivery on the Closing Date of the Mortgage Loans described on the Mortgage Loan Schedule in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement is mandatory. It is specifically understood and agreed that each Mortgage Loan is unique and identifiable on the date hereof and that an award of money damages would be insufficient to compensate the Purchaser for the losses and damages incurred by the Purchaser in the event of the Seller’s failure to deliver the Mortgage Loans on or before the Closing Date. The Seller
hereby grants to the Purchaser a lien on and a continuing security interest in the Seller’s interest in each Mortgage Loan and each document and instrument evidencing each such Mortgage Loan to secure the performance by the Seller of its obligation hereunder, and the Seller agrees that it holds such Mortgage Loans in custody for the Purchaser, subject to the Purchaser’s (i) right, prior to the Closing Date, to reject any Mortgage Loan to the extent permitted by this Agreement and (ii) obligation to deliver or cause to be delivered the consideration for the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 7 hereof. Any Mortgage Loans rejected by the Purchaser shall concurrently therewith be released from the security interest created hereby. The Seller agrees that, upon acceptance of the Mortgage Loans by the Purchaser or its designee and delivery of payment to the Seller, that its security interest in the Mortgage Loans shall be released. All rights and remedies of the Purchaser under this Agreement are
distinct from, and cumulative with, any other rights or remedies under this Agreement or afforded by law or equity and all such rights and remedies may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the Closing Date, each of the conditions set forth in Section 7 hereof shall have been satisfied and the Purchaser shall not have paid or caused to be paid the Mortgage Loan Purchase Price, or any such condition shall not have been waived or satisfied and the Purchaser determines not to pay or cause to be paid the Mortgage Loan Purchase Price, the Purchaser shall immediately effect the redelivery of the Mortgage Loans, if delivery to the Purchaser has occurred and the security interest created by this Section 11 shall be deemed to have been released.

 

Section 12.  Notices. All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered to or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, or transmitted by telex or telegraph and confirmed by a similar mailed writing, if to the Purchaser, addressed to the Purchaser at 390 Greenwich Street, 4th Floor, New York, New York 10013, Attention: Mortgage Finance Group, or such other address as may hereafter be furnished to the Seller in writing by the Purchaser, and if to the Seller, addressed to the Seller at 390 Greenwich Street, 4th
Floor, New York, New York 10013, Attention: Mortgage Finance Group, or such other address as may hereafter be furnished to the Purchaser in writing by the Seller.

 

Section 13.  Severability of Provisions. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or which is held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof.

 

Section 14.  Agreement of Parties. The Seller and the Purchaser each agree to execute and deliver such instruments and take such actions as either of the others may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the terms of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Section 15.  Survival. The Seller agrees that the representations, warranties and agreements made by it herein and in any certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant hereto shall be deemed to be relied upon by the Purchaser, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by the Purchaser or on its behalf, and that the representations, warranties and agreements made by the Seller herein or in any such certificate or other instrument shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Mortgage Loans and shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding any restrictive or
qualified endorsement on the Mortgage Notes and notwithstanding subsequent termination of this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Trust Fund.

 

Section 16.  GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS, DUTIES, OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS (INCLUDING THE CHOICE OF LAW PROVISIONS) AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND THAT THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL APPLY TO THIS AGREEMENT.

 

Section 17.  Miscellaneous. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by
the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. The headings in this Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

 

It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser as provided in Section 4 hereof be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser and not as a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Seller, then, (a) it is the express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller and (b) (1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the
New York Uniform Commercial Code; (2) the conveyance provided for in Section 4 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested in the Collection Account whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the possession by the Purchaser or its agent of Mortgage Notes, the related Mortgages and such other items of property that constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to
Section 9-305 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and (4) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Any assignment of the interest of the Purchaser pursuant to Section 4(d) hereof shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereby. The Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, 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 and the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.

 

Section 18.  Indemnification. The Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless each of (i) the Purchaser, (ii) Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and (iii) each person, if any, who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) ((i) through (iii) collectively, the “Indemnified Party”) against any and all losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities to which the Indemnified Party may become subject, under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) arise out of, are based upon, or result from, a breach by the Seller of any of the representations and warranties made by the Seller herein, it being understood that the Purchaser has relied upon such representations and warranties.

EXHIBIT A




Representation and Warranties with Respect to the American Home Mortgage Loans 




Except for “Mortgage Loans”, which shall mean the American Home Mortgage Loans sold by the Seller to the Purchaser, all capitalized terms in this Exhibit A shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the American Home Purchase Agreement.




(1)  The information set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule and the Mortgage Loan data delivered to the Purchaser in the Data File is complete, true and correct;

 

(2)  All payments required to be made up to the close of business on the Closing Date for such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made; neither the Seller nor the Servicer has advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the related Mortgaged Property, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage. There has been no delinquency, exclusive of any period of grace, in any payment by the Mortgagor thereunder since the origination of the Mortgage Loan;

 

(3)  There are no delinquent taxes, ground rents, water charges, sewer rents, assessments, insurance premiums, leasehold payments, including assessments payable in future installments or other outstanding charges affecting the related Mortgaged Property;

 

(4)  The Mortgaged Property is located in the state identified in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule and is improved by a Residential Dwelling;

 

(5)  The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments, recorded in the applicable public recording office or registered with the MERS System if necessary to maintain the lien priority of the Mortgage, and which have been delivered to the Purchaser; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the insurer under the Primary Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy, if any, and the title insurer, to the extent required by the related policy, and is reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed, and
no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the insurer under the Primary Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy, if any, the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement has been delivered to the Purchaser and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule;

 

(6)  The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, set off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury and no such right of rescission, set off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto;

 

(7)  The Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines of the Seller in effect at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated; and the Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC;

 

(8)  All buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, in an amount not less than the least of (i) 100% of the replacement cost of all improvements to the Mortgaged Property, (ii) either (A) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan with respect to each first lien Mortgage Loan or (B) with respect to each second lien Mortgage Loan, the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the related first lien mortgage loan and the outstanding principal balance of the second lien Mortgage Loan or
(iii) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis; provided, however, in no event shall the amount of insurance be less than the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property. All such insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller, its successors and assigns as mortgagee and all premiums thereon have been paid. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified on a Flood Hazard Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect which policy conforms to the requirements of FNMA and FHLMC. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the
Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor;

 

(9)  Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity, fair housing, disclosure laws or all predatory and abusive lending laws applicable to the origination and servicing of the Mortgage Loans have been complied with and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws;

 

(10)  The Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission or release;

 

(11)  The related Mortgage is properly recorded in the appropriate jurisdiction(s) wherein such recordation is necessary to perfect the lien thereof, and is a valid, existing and enforceable (A) first lien and first priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a First Lien (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), or (B) second lien and second priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a Second Lien (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), in either case, on the Mortgaged Property, including all improvements on the Mortgaged Property subject only to (a) the lien of
current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property, (c) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property and (d) with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a Second Lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) a First Lien on the Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in
connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, existing and enforceable (A) first lien and first priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a First Lien (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) or (B) second lien and second priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a Second Lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), in either case, on the property described therein and the Seller has full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser. The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt or other security instrument creating a lien subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage;

 

(12)  The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with its terms;

The Mortgagor is a natural person;

 

(14)  The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed to or for the account of the Mortgagor and there is no obligation for the Mortgagee to advance additional funds thereunder and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage have been paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due to the Mortgagee pursuant to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;

 

(15)  The Seller is the sole legal, beneficial and equitable owner of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage. The Seller has full right and authority under all governmental and regulatory bodies having jurisdiction over such Seller, subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any party, to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement free and clear of any encumbrance or right of others, equity, lien, pledge, charge, mortgage, claim, participation interest or security interest of any nature (collectively, a “Lien”); and immediately upon the transfers and assignments herein contemplated, the Seller shall have transferred and sold
all of its right, title and interest in and to each Mortgage Loan and the Purchaser will hold good, marketable and indefeasible title to, and be the owner of, each Mortgage Loan subject to no Lien;

 

(16)  All parties which have had any legal or contractual interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as originator, mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were): (A) organized under the laws of such state, or (B) qualified to do business in such state, or (C) federal savings and loan associations or national banks having principal offices in such state, or (D) not doing business in such state so as to require qualification or licensing, or (E) not otherwise required to be licensed in such state. All parties which have had any legal or contractual interest in the Mortgage Loan were in compliance with any and all
applicable “doing business” and licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located or were not required to be licensed in such state;

 

(17)  The Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association (“ALTA”) ALTA lender’s title insurance policy acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC (which, in the case of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan has an adjustable rate mortgage endorsement in the form of ALTA 6.0 or 6.1), issued by a title insurer acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained above in (xi)(a) and (b) and, with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a Second Lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) clause (d)) the Seller, its
successors and assigns as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and, with respect to any Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment in the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress to and from the Mortgaged Property, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The Seller is the sole insured of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the Seller, has done, by act
or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy;

 

(18)  Other than payments due but not yet 30 days or more delinquent, there is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and the Seller has not waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration. With respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a Second Lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) (i) the First Lien is in full force and effect, (ii) there is no default, breach, violation or event
of acceleration existing under such First Lien mortgage or the related mortgage note, (iii) no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration thereunder, and either (A) the First Lien mortgage contains a provision which allows or (B) applicable law requires, the mortgagee under the Second Lien Mortgage Loan to receive notice of, and affords such mortgagee an opportunity to cure any default by payment in full or otherwise under the First Lien mortgage;

 

(19)  There are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such lien) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage;

 

(20)  The Mortgage Loan was originated by the Seller or by a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank or similar banking institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority, or by a mortgagee approved as such by the Secretary of HUD;

The Mortgage Loan bears interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month in Monthly Payments, which, (A) in the case of a Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan, are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original term thereof (other than with respect to a Mortgage Loan identified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only Mortgage Loan during the interest-only period) and to pay

The Index for each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan is as defined in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. With respect to each Mortgage Loan identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only Mortgage Loan, the interest-only period shall not exceed the period specified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule and following the expiration of such interest-only period, the remaining Monthly Payments shall be sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the remaining term of the Mortgage Loan.

The Mortgage Loan has been serviced by the Servicer and any predecessor servicer in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, the terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage, and the FNMA and FHLMC servicing guides. With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow
Payments (other than with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a Second Lien Mortgage Loan and for which the mortgagee under the First Lien is collecting Escrow Payments (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule)), if any, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, the Servicer and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due the Seller have been capitalized under any Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no such escrow deposits or Escrow Payments are being held by the Seller or the Servicer for any work on a Mortgaged Property which has not been completed;

 

(23)  The Mortgaged Property is free of damage and waste and is in good repair, and there is no proceeding pending or, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, threatened for the total or partial condemnation thereof nor is such a proceeding currently occurring;

 

(24)  The Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (a) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (b) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. The Mortgaged Property has not been subject to any bankruptcy proceeding or foreclosure proceeding and the Mortgagor has not filed for protection under applicable bankruptcy laws. There is no homestead or other exemption available to the Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell

(26)  In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor;

(37)  With respect to each Mortgage Loan which is a Second Lien, (i) the related First Lien does not provide for negative amortization, and (ii) either no consent for the Mortgage Loan is required by the holder of the First Lien or such consent has been obtained and is contained in the Mortgage File;

 

(38)  The Mortgage Loan Documents with respect to each Mortgage Loan subject to Prepayment Charges specifically authorizes such Prepayment Charges to be collected, such Prepayment Charges are permissible and enforceable in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents and all applicable federal, state and local laws (except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally or the collectability thereof may be limited due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure) and each Prepayment Charge was originated in compliance with all

Each Mortgage Loan is in compliance with the anti-predatory lending eligibility for purchase requirements of FNMA’s Selling Guide. No Mortgagor was encouraged or required to select a Mortgage Loan product offered by the Mortgage Loan’s originator which is a higher cost product designed for less creditworthy
borrowers, unless at the time of the Mortgage Loan’s origination, such Mortgagor did not qualify taking into account credit history and debt to income ratios for a lower cost credit product then offered by the Mortgage Loan’s originator or any affiliate of the Mortgage Loan’s originator.

(70)  All points, fees and charges, including finance charges (whether or not financed, assessed, collected or to be collected), in connection with the origination and servicing of each Mortgage Loan were disclosed in writing to the related Mortgagor in accordance with applicable state and federal law and regulation. Except in the case of a Mortgage Loan in an original principal amount of less than $60,000 which would have resulted in an unprofitable origination, no related Mortgagor was charged “points and fees” (whether or not financed) in an amount greater than 5% of the principal amount of such loan, such 5% limitation is calculated in accordance with FNMA’s
anti-predatory lending requirements as set forth in the FNMA Selling Guide; 

 

(71)  No Mortgagor was required to purchase any credit life, disability, accident or health insurance product or debt cancellation agreement as a condition of obtaining the extension of credit. No Mortgagor obtained a prepaid single premium credit life, disability, accident or health insurance policy in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, and no proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used to finance single-premium credit insurance policies or debt cancellation agreements as part of the origination of, or as a condition to closing, such Mortgage Loan;

and

 

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, neither the related Mortgage nor the related Mortgage Note requires the Mortgagor to submit to arbitration to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Mortgage Loan transaction; No Mortgagor agreed to submit to arbitration to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Mortgage Loan transaction.































EXHIBIT B




Representation and Warranties with Respect to the Countrywide Mortgage Loans 




Except for “Mortgage Loans”, which shall mean the Countrywide Mortgage Loans sold by the Seller to the Purchaser, all capitalized terms in this Exhibit C shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Countrywide Purchase Agreement.




(i)  Mortgage Loan Schedule. The information contained in the Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete, true and correct in all material respects;

 

(ii)  No Delinquencies or Advances. All payments required to be made prior to the related Cut-off Date for such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made; Countrywide has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage Loan; and there has been no delinquency of more than thirty (30) days in any payment by the Mortgagor thereunder during the last twelve (12) months;

 

(iii)  Taxes, Assessments, Insurance Premiums and Other Charges. There are no delinquent taxes, ground rents, or insurance premiums, and Countrywide has no knowledge of any delinquent water charges, sewer rents, assessments, leasehold payments, including assessments payable in future installments or other outstanding charges affecting the related Mortgaged Property;

 

(iv)  No Modifications. The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments that have been or will be recorded or registered with the MERS System, if necessary to protect the interests of the Purchaser, and that have been or will be delivered to the Purchaser, all in accordance with this Agreement. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the primary mortgage guaranty insurer, if any, and by the title insurer, to the extent required by the related policy and its terms
are reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. No Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the primary mortgage insurer, if any, and the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Collateral File and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule if executed prior to the Closing Date;

 

(v)  No Defenses. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto;

 

(vi)  Hazard and Flood Insurance. All buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable to an Agency against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, and such insurer is licensed to do business in the state where the Mortgaged Property is located. All such insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Countrywide, its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been paid. If, upon the origination of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property
was, or was subsequently deemed to be, in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available), a flood insurance policy that meets the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration (or any successor thereto) and conforms to the requirements of an Agency is in effect. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s expense and, upon the failure of the Mortgagor to do so, the holder of the Mortgage is authorized to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s expense and to seek reimbursement 

 

(vii)  Compliance with Applicable Law. Each Mortgage Loan, including any Prepayment Charge or penalty in connection therewith, at the time of origination complied in all material respects with applicable local, state and federal laws, and any applicable ordinances, including truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity, predatory and abusive lending and disclosure laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan;

 

(viii)  No Release of Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated, or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission;

 

(ix)  Enforceability of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws;

 

(x)  Valid First or Second Lien. Each related Mortgage is a valid, subsisting and enforceable First Lien (with respect to a First Lien Mortgage Loan) or Second Lien (with respect to a Second Lien Mortgage Loan) on the related Mortgaged Property, including all improvements on the Mortgaged Property. The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to:

 

 

(i)  the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable;

 

(ii)  covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record as of the date of recording that are acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and that do not adversely affect the Appraised Value (as evidenced by an appraisal referred to in such definition) of the Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal; 

 

(iii)  with respect to a Second Lien Mortgage Loan only, the lien of the first mortgage on the Mortgaged Property; and

 

(iv)  other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property;

 

(xi)  Disbursements of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed, and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefore have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and recording the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;

 

(xii)  Sole Owner. Countrywide is the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan is not assigned or pledged, and Countrywide has good and marketable title thereto, and has full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest and has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign each Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;

 

(xiii)  Title Insurance. Each Mortgage Loan that is a First Lien Mortgage Loan and each Mortgage Loan that is a Second Lien Mortgage Loan with an original principal balance greater than $100,000, in either case, is covered by a lender’s title insurance policy acceptable to an Agency, issued by a title insurer acceptable to an Agency and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the related Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in Section 3.02(j)(i), (ii) and (iii) above) Countrywide, its successors and assigns as to the first or second priority
lien of the Mortgage, as applicable. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. With respect to any Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, such title insurance policy insures against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage Note providing for adjustment of the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Countrywide is the sole insured of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including Countrywide, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title
insurance policy;

 

(xiv)  No Default. There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and Countrywide has not waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and with respect to any Second Lien Mortgage Loan, Countrywide has not received a written notice of default of any senior mortgage loan related to the Mortgaged Property which has not been
cured;

 

(xv)  No Mechanics’ Liens. There are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such lien) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage;

 

(xvi)  Origination, Servicing and Collection Practices. The origination, servicing and collection practices used by Countrywide with respect to each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been in all respects legal, proper, prudent and customary in the mortgage origination and servicing business. With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, if any, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, Countrywide and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or
other charges or payments due Countrywide have been capitalized under any Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note. With respect to Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, all Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments have been made in strict compliance with state and federal law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note. Any interest required to be paid pursuant to state and local law has been properly paid and credited;

 

(xvii)  No Condemnation or Damage. The Mortgaged Property is free of material damage and waste and there is no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation thereof;

 

(xviii)  Customary and Enforceable Provisions. The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby including (a) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (b) otherwise by judicial foreclosure;

 

(xix)  Collateral. The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage;

 

(xx)  Appraisal. Unless the Mortgage Loan was underwritten pursuant to one of Countrywide’s streamline documentation programs, the Credit File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property signed prior to the approval of the Mortgage Loan application by an appraiser who meets the minimum requisite qualifications of an Agency for appraisers, duly appointed by the originator, that had no interest, direct or indirect in the Mortgaged Property, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan; the appraisal is in a form acceptable to an Agency,
with such riders as are acceptable to such Agency. All improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property. Each appraisal of the Mortgage Loan was made in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989;

 

(xxi)  Trustee for Deed of Trust. In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor;

 

(xxii)  Private Mortgage Insurance, FHA Insurance and VA Guarantees. Each Mortgage Loan, except a Second Lien Mortgage Loan or a Mortgage Loan underwritten in accordance with sub-prime credit underwriting guidelines (as any such Mortgage Loans may be identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule), with an LTV at origination in excess of eighty percent (80%) is and will be subject to a PMI Policy, which insures that portion of the Mortgage Loan over seventy-five percent (75%) of the Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged Property. All provisions of such PMI Policy have been and are being complied with,
such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. Any Mortgage subject to any such PMI Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain such insurance and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith or, in the case of a lender paid mortgage insurance policy, the premiums and charges are included in the Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan. Each Government Mortgage Loan either has, or will have in due course, a valid and enforceable MIC or LGC, as applicable and, in each case, all premiums due thereunder have been paid;

 

(xxiii)  Lawfully Occupied. At origination, to the best of Countrywide’s knowledge as of the Closing Date, the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law. All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same including certificates of occupancy, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities;

 

(xxiv)  Assignment of Mortgage. Except for the absence of recording information, the Assignment of Mortgage is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located. The original Mortgage was or is being recorded and, unless the Mortgage Loan is subject to the MERS System, all subsequent assignments of the original Mortgage (other than the assignment to Purchaser) have been recorded in the appropriate jurisdiction wherein such recordation is necessary to perfect the lien thereof against creditors of Countrywide, or is in the
process of being recorded;

 

(xxv)  Consolidation of Future Advances. Any future advances made to the Mortgagor prior to the Cut-off Date have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term.

or ordinance, including, without limitation, Section 6-L of the New York Banking Law or (c) subject to any comparable federal, state or local statutes or regulations, including, without limitation, the provisions of the Georgia Fair Lending Act or any other statute or regulation providing assignee liability to holders of such mortgage loans;

 

(xxviii)  Originator Supervision. The Mortgage Loan was originated by Countrywide or by a savings bank, a commercial bank or similar banking institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority, or by a mortgagee approved as such by the Secretary of HUD;

 

(xxix)  Foreclosure; Bankruptcy. The Mortgaged Property has not been subject to any bankruptcy proceeding or foreclosure proceeding and the Mortgagor has not filed for protection under applicable bankruptcy laws. There is no homestead or other exemption available to the Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage. Countrywide has no knowledge of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act of 1940; 

 

(xxx)  Payment Source; Buydown. No Mortgage contains provisions pursuant to which Monthly Payments are (a) paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account established by the Seller, the Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, (b) paid by any source other than the Mortgagor or (c) contains any other similar provisions which may constitute a “buydown” provision. The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature;

 

(xxxi)  Construction; Exchange. No Mortgage Loan was made solely in connection with (a) the construction or rehabilitation of a Mortgaged Property or (b) facilitating the trade-in or exchange of a Mortgaged Property.

 

(xxxii)  Investment. Countrywide has no knowledge of any circumstances or condition with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor, or the Mortgagor’s credit standing that can reasonably be expected to cause the Mortgage Loan to be an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, or materially and adversely affect the value of the Mortgage Loan.

 

(xxxiii)  Accrual Method. Interest on each Mortgage Loan is calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months; and

 

(xxxiv)  Lending Practices. No predatory, abusive or deceptive lending practices, including, but not limited to, the extension of credit to the Mortgagor without regard for the Mortgagor’s ability to repay the Mortgage Loan and the extension of credit to the Mortgagor which has no apparent benefit to the Mortgagor, were employed by the originator of the Mortgage Loan in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan;

 

(xxxv)  Prepayment Charges. Each Prepayment Charge or penalty with respect to any Mortgage Loan is permissible, enforceable and collectible under applicable federal, state and local law;

 

(xxxvi)  No Adverse Selection.

Except for a Mortgage Loan, the Monthly Payment of which consists of interest only for a specified period of time (and which Mortgage Loan is identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty days after the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan were disbursed. The Mortgage Loan bears interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each Mortgage Loan other than an interest-only Mortgage Loan or Balloon Mortgage Loan, the
Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month in Monthly Payments, which, in the case of a Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan, is sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate, and, in the case of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, is changed on each Adjustment Date and is sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each Mortgage Loan identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only Mortgage Loan, the interest-only period shall not exceed the period specified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule and, following the expiration of such interest-only period, the remaining Monthly Payments shall be sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the remaining term of the Mortgage Loan. With respect to each Balloon Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Note requires Monthly
Payments sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate but requires a final Monthly Payment which is substantially greater than the penultimate Monthly Payment and sufficient to repay the remaining unpaid principal balance of the Balloon Mortgage Loan on the Due Date of such final Monthly Payment;

(xliii)  No Fraud. No error, omission, misrepresentation, fraud or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of Countrywide or, to the best of Countrywide’s knowledge, any other person, including without limitation the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan or in the application of any insurance in relation to such Mortgage Loan;

 

(xliv)  Condominiums; Planned Unit Developments. If the Residential Dwelling on the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit or a unit in a planned unit development (other than a de minimis planned unit development) such condominium or planned unit development project meets the eligibility requirements of FNMA and FHLMC;

 

(xlv)  No Credit Life. No Mortgagor was required to purchase any credit life, disability, accident or health insurance product as a condition of obtaining the extension of credit.

(xlix)  Fair Credit Reporting. Countrywide has fully furnished and will continue to furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations (the “FCRA”), accurate and complete information (i.e., favorable and unfavorable) on its Mortgagor credit files to Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union Credit Information Company (three of the credit repositories), on a monthly basis, and will fully furnish, in accordance with the FCRA, accurate and complete information (i.e., favorable and unfavorable) on its mortgagor credit files to Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union
Credit Information Company, on a monthly basis;

 

(l)  Privacy. With regard to each Mortgagor, Countrywide shall at all times comply with all laws and regulations regarding use, disclosure and safeguarding of any and all customer information, including without limitation the Gramm Leach Bliley Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act and Regulation P. Countrywide has implemented or will implement appropriate measures designed to meet the objectives of the Interagency Guidelines Establishing Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information, 12 CFR Part 30 Appendix B, and has been and continues to be engaged in reviewing its information security program,
training of staff, and testing of controls, systems and procedures as required by those guidelines;

 

(li)  Anti-Money Laundering Laws.

xviii)  Any future advances made prior to the Cut-off Date have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured princi-pal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term reflected on the Mort-gage Loan Schedule. The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having first lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the Mortgagee's consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan;

 

xix)  All improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a Qualified Insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, pursuant to insurance policies conforming to the requirements of Section 10.15 hereof. All individual insurance policies (collectively, the "hazard insurance policy") are in full force and effect and are the valid and binding obligation of the insurer and contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Seller, its successors and assigns, as mortgagee. All premiums thereon have been paid. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency

xxi)  The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counter-claim or defense, including the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto; and unless otherwise disclosed in the Commitment Letter, the Mortgagor is not and was not at the time the Mortgage Loan was

If a Mortgage Loan has an LTV greater than 80%, the excess of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan over 75% of the Appraised Value, with respect to a Refinanced Mortgage Loan, or the lesser of the Appraised Value or the purchase price of the Mortgaged Property, with respect to a purchase money Mortgage Loan, is insured as to payment defaults by a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy issued by a Qualified Insurer. All provisions of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. No action, inaction, or event has occurred and no state
of facts exists that has, or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith until such time as applicable law allows the termination of such insurance. The mortgage interest rate for the Mortgage Loan as set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance premium;

As of the date of origination, no portion of the Mortgaged Property was used for commercial purposes,

Except with respect to Interest Only
Mortgage Loans, the Monthly Payments will fully amortize the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan over its remaining term at the Mortgage Interest Rate. The Mortgage Note does not permit negative amortization.

xxxiv)  If the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified if required under applicable law to act as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses, except as may be required by local law, are or will become payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale or attempted sale after default by the Mortgagor;

 

xxxv)  No Mortgage Loan contains “graduated payment,” “shared appreciation” or other contingent interest features; to the extent any Mortgage Loan (as identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) contains any buydown provision, such buydown funds have been maintained and administered in accordance with, and such Mortgage Loan otherwise complies with, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac requirements relating to buydown loans;

xli)  Any principal advances made to the Mortgagor prior to the Cut-off Date have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having first lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee’s consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan;

 

xlii)  No Mortgagor was required to purchase any credit life, disability, accident or health insurance product as a condition of obtaining the extension of credit. No Mortgagor obtained a prepaid single premium credit life, disability, accident or health insurance policy or debt cancellation agreement as a condition of obtaining the extension of credit or in connection the with the origination of the Mortgage Loan.

There are
no liens against or security interest in the cooperative shares relating to each Co-op Loan (except for unpaid maintenance, assessments and other amounts owed to the related cooperative which individually or in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on such Co-op Loan), which have priority over Seller’s security interest in such cooperative shares;

(3)   All payments required to be made up to the close of business on the Closing Date for such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made. The Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the related Mortgaged Property, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage; and there has been no delinquency, exclusive of any period of grace, in any payment by the Mortgagor thereunder since the origination of the Mortgage Loan;

No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been
executed, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the insurer under the Primary Insurance Policy, if applicable, and the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement has been delivered to the Purchaser or its designee and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule;

 

(6)   The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto. Each Prepayment Charge or penalty with respect to any Mortgage Loan is permissible, enforceable and collectible under applicable federal, state and local

All such insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller, its successors and assigns as mortgagee and all premiums thereon have been paid. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified on a Flood Hazard Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood
insurance has been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect which policy conforms to the requirements of FNMA and FHLMC. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor;

 

(8)  Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures, predatory and abusive lending, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity, fair housing or disclosure laws applicable to the origination and servicing of mortgage loans of a type similar to the Mortgage Loans have been complied with;

 

(9)   The Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission or release;

Property, (c) to the extent the Mortgage Loan is a second lien Mortgage Loan, the related first lien on the Mortgaged Property; and (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, existing and enforceable first or second (as indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) lien and first or second (as indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) priority security interest on the property described therein and the Seller has full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser. The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt or other security instrument creating

(14)  The Seller is the sole legal, beneficial and equitable owner of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and has full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest;

Loan and, with respect to any Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment in the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress to and from the Mortgaged Property, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The Seller is the sole insured of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(22)  Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty days after the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan were disbursed. The Mortgage Loan bears interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month in Monthly Payments, which, other than with respect to a Balloon Mortgage Loan, in the case of a Fixed Rate Mortgage Loans, are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate, and, in the case of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, are changed on each Adjustment Date, and in any case, are sufficient
to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. The Index for each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan is as defined in the related Confirmation. With respect to each Balloon Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Note requires a monthly payment which is sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate and requires a final Monthly Payment substantially greater than the preceding monthly payment which is sufficient to repay the remained unpaid principal balance of the Balloon Mortgage Loan as of the Due Date of such monthly payment. The Mortgage Note does not permit negative amortization. No Mortgage Loan is a Convertible Mortgage Loan;

The Mortgaged Property has not been subject to any bankruptcy proceeding or foreclosure proceeding and the Mortgagor has not filed for protection under applicable bankruptcy laws. There is no homestead or other exemption available to the Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell
the Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage. The Mortgagor has not notified the Seller and the Seller has no knowledge of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers’ Civil Relief Act;

All provisions of such Primary Insurance Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid.

insurance policies or debt cancellation agreements as part of the origination of, or as a condition to closing, such Mortgage Loan;

debt cancellation agreements as part of the origination of, or as a condition to closing, such Mortgage Loan;

best of the Seller’s knowledge, since the date of such appraisal, no portion of the Mortgaged Property has been used for commercial purposes outside of the Underwriting Guidelines;




(xi) Valid First Lien.




The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems located in or annexed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing. The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to:




(1) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable;




(2) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender's title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and (i) referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan and (ii) which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal; and




(3) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property.




Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein and the Seller has full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser.




With respect to each Cooperative Loan, each Pledge Agreement creates a valid, enforceable and subsisting first security interest in the Cooperative Shares and Proprietary Lease, subject only to (i) the lien of the related Cooperative for unpaid assessments representing the Mortgagor’s pro rata share of the Cooperative’s payments for its blanket mortgage, current and future real property taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance fees and other assessments to which like collateral is commonly subject and (ii) other matters to which like collateral is commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Pledge Agreement; provided, however, that the appurtenant Proprietary Lease may be subordinated or otherwise subject to the lien of any
mortgage on the Project; 




(xii) Full Disbursement of Proceeds.




The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed, except for escrows established or created due to seasonal weather conditions, and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;




(xiii) Consolidation of Future Advances.




Any future advances made prior to the related Cut-off Date, have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having first lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee’s consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac; the consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan; the Seller shall not make future advances after the related Cut-off Date;




(xiv) Ownership.




The Seller is the sole owner of record and holder of the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not assigned or pledged, and the Seller has good and marketable title thereto and has full right and authority to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser. The Seller is transferring the Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all encumbrances, liens, pledges, equities, participation interests, claims, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan;




(xv) Origination/Doing Business.




The Mortgage Loan was originated by a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, a credit union, an insurance company, or similar institution that is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority or by a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act. All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (1) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (2) organized under the laws of such state, or (3) qualified to do business in such state, or (4) federal savings
and loan associations or national banks having principal offices in such state, or (5) not doing business in such state;




(xvi) LTV, PMI Policy.




Each Mortgage Loan has an LTV as specified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. Except for Pledged Asset Mortgage Loans, if the LTV of the Mortgage Loan was greater than 80% at the time of origination, a portion of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is and will be insured as to payment defaults by a PMI Policy. If the Mortgage Loan is insured by a PMI Policy for which the Mortgagor pays all premiums, the coverage will remain in place until (i) the LTV decreases to 78% or (ii) the PMI Policy is otherwise terminated pursuant to the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998, 12 USC §4901, et seq. All provisions of such PMI Policy or LPMI Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. The Qualified Insurer has a
claims paying ability acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a PMI Policy or LPMI Policy obligates the Mortgagor or the Seller to maintain the PMI Policy or LPMI Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. The Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan as set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance premium; 

 

(xvii) Title Insurance.

 

The Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title insurance policy (or in the case of any Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such policies are generally not available, an opinion of counsel of the type customarily rendered in such jurisdiction in lieu of title insurance) or other generally acceptable form of policy of insurance acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, issued by a title insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring the Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan, subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses (1), (2) and (3) of subsection (xi) of this
Section 6(b), and against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy includes no exceptions regarding ingress, egress or encroachments that impact the value or the marketability of the Mortgaged Property. The Seller is the sole insured of such lender's title insurance policy, and such lender's title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender's title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the Mortgage, including the Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender's title insurance policy;




(xviii) No Defaults.




There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and neither the Seller nor its predecessors have waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration; 




(xix) No Mechanics' Liens.




There are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under the law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage which are not insured against by the title insurance policy referenced in Paragraph (q) above;




(xx) Location of Improvements; No Encroachments.

No improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or regulation;




(xxi) Payment Terms.




Except with respect to the Interest Only Mortgage Loans, principal payments commenced no more than 60 days after the funds were disbursed to the Mortgagor in connection with the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loans have an original term to maturity of not more than 30 years, with interest payable in arrears on the first day of each month. As to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan on each applicable Adjustment Date, the Mortgage Interest Rate will be adjusted to equal the sum of the Index plus the applicable Gross Margin, rounded up or down to the nearest multiple of 0.125% indicated by the Mortgage Note; provided that the Mortgage Interest Rate will not increase or decrease by more than the Periodic Interest Rate Cap on any Adjustment Date, and will in no event exceed the maximum Mortgage Interest Rate or be lower
than the minimum Mortgage Interest Rate listed on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule for such Mortgage Loan. As to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan that is not an Interest Only Mortgage Loan, each Mortgage Note requires a monthly payment which is sufficient, during the period prior to the first adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate, to fully amortize the outstanding principal balance as of the first day of such period over the then remaining term of such Mortgage Note and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. As to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, if the related Mortgage Interest Rate changes on an Adjustment Date or, with respect to an Interest Only Mortgage Loan, on an Adjustment Date following the related interest only period, the then outstanding principal balance will be reamortized over the remaining life of such Mortgage Loan. No Mortgage Loan contains terms or provisions which would result in negative amortization; 




(xxii) Customary Provisions.




The Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (1) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (2) otherwise by judicial foreclosure.

(xxv) Deeds of Trust.




In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Mortgagee to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale after default by the Mortgagor;




(xxvi) Acceptable Investment.




The Seller has no knowledge of any circumstances or conditions with respect to the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor's credit standing that can reasonably be expected to cause private institutional investors to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, or adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan;




(xxvii) Transfer of Mortgage Loans.




If the Mortgage Loan is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Assignment of Mortgage, upon the insertion of the name of the assignee and recording information, is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located;




(xxviii) Mortgaged Property Undamaged.




The Mortgaged Property is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty so as to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or the use for which the premises were intended;

With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, all such payments are in the possession of the Seller and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All Escrow Payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal law.

The appraisal was conducted by an appraiser who had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof; and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan, and the appraisal and the appraiser both satisfy the applicable requirements of Title XI of the Financial Institution Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated;




(xxxii) Insurance.




The Mortgaged Property securing each Mortgage Loan is insured by an insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac against loss by fire and such hazards as are covered under a standard extended coverage endorsement and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located pursuant to insurance policies conforming to the requirements of Section 4.10 of the Servicing Agreement, in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (1) 100% of the insurable value, on a replacement cost basis, of the improvements on the related Mortgaged Property, or (2) the greater of (x) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or (y) an amount such that the proceeds of such
insurance shall be sufficient to avoid the application to the Mortgagor or loss payee of any coinsurance clause under the policy. If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit, it is included under the coverage afforded by a blanket policy for the project. If the improvements on the Mortgaged Property are in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (b) the full insurable value and (c) the maximum amount of insurance which was available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. All individual insurance policies
contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller and its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been paid. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain a hazard insurance policy at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at such Mortgagor's cost and expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer, is in full force and effect, and will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of the Purchaser upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Seller has not acted or failed to act so as to impair the coverage of any such insurance policy or the validity, binding effect and enforceability thereof;

The temporary Buydown Funds enable the Mortgagor to qualify for the Buydown Mortgage Loan. The effective interest rate of a Buydown Mortgage Loan if less than the interest rate set forth in the related
Mortgage Note will increase within the Buydown Period as provided in the related Buydown Agreement so that the effective interest rate will be equal to the interest rate as set forth in the related Mortgage Note. The Buydown Mortgage Loan satisfies the requirements of the Underwriting Guidelines;

The Seller is the sole insured of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy;

 

(17)  There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and the Seller has not waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration. With respect to each second lien mortgage loan (i) the first lien mortgage loan is in full force and effect, (ii) there is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under such first lien mortgage or the related mortgage note, (iii) no event which, with the passage of time or with notice
and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration thereunder, and either (A) the first lien mortgage contains a provision which allows or (B) applicable law requires, the mortgagee under the second lien Mortgage Loan to receive notice of, and affords such mortgagee an opportunity to cure any default by payment in full or otherwise under the first lien mortgage;

 

(18)  There are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such lien) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage;

(22)  Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty days after the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan were disbursed. The Mortgage Loan bears interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate.

to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. The Index for each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan is as defined in the related Confirmation. With respect to each Balloon Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Note requires a monthly payment which is sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate and requires a final Monthly Payment substantially greater than the preceding monthly payment which is sufficient to repay the remained unpaid principal balance of the Balloon Mortgage Loan as of the Due Date of such monthly payment. The Mortgage Note does not permit negative amortization. No Mortgage Loan is a Convertible Mortgage Loan;

 

(23)  The origination and collection practices used by the Seller with respect to each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been in all respects legal, proper, prudent and customary in the mortgage origination and servicing industry.

With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, if any, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, the Seller and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments
due the Seller have been capitalized under any Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no such escrow deposits or Escrow Payments are being held by the Seller for any work on a Mortgaged Property which has not been completed;

 

(24)  The Mortgaged Property is in good repair and is free of damage and waste and there is no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation thereof;

 

(25)  The Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (a) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (b) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. The Mortgaged Property has not been subject to any bankruptcy proceeding or foreclosure proceeding and the Mortgagor has not filed for protection under applicable bankruptcy laws. There is no homestead or other exemption available to the Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell
the Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage. The Mortgagor has not notified the Seller and the Seller has no knowledge of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers’ Civil Relief Act;

 

(26)  The Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the underwriting standards of the Seller in effect at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated which underwriting standards satisfy the standards of FNMA or FHLMC; and the Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC; 

 

(27)  The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage on the Mortgaged Property and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to in (xi) above;

who met the minimum qualifications of FNMA or FHLMC. Each appraisal of the Mortgage Loan was made in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989;

 

(29)  In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor;

 

(30)  No Mortgage Loan contains provisions pursuant to which Monthly Payments are (a) paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account established by the Seller, the Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, (b) paid by any source other than the Mortgagor or (c) contains any other similar provisions which may constitute a “buydown” provision. The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature;

 

(31)  The Mortgagor has executed a statement to the effect that the Mortgagor has received all disclosure materials required by applicable law with respect to the making of fixed rate mortgage loans in the case of Fixed Rate Mortgage Loans, and adjustable rate mortgage loans in the case of Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans and rescission materials with respect to Refinanced Mortgage Loans, and such statement is and will remain in the Mortgage File;

 

(32)  No Mortgage Loan was made in connection with (a) the construction or rehabilitation of a Mortgaged Property or (b) facilitating the trade-in or exchange of a Mortgaged Property;

(34)  No Mortgage Loan had an LTV or a CLTV at origination in excess of 100%. Each Mortgage Loan with an LTV or CLTV at origination in excess of 80% is and will be subject to a Primary Insurance Policy, issued by a Qualified Insurer, which insures that portion of the Mortgage Loan in excess of the portion of the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property required by FNMA. All provisions of such Primary Insurance Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. Any Mortgage subject to any such Primary Insurance Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain such insurance and to pay all premiums and
charges in connection therewith. The Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan does not include any such insurance premium;

 

(35)  The Mortgaged Property is, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, lawfully occupied under applicable law; all inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities;

 

(36)  No error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence, fraud or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any person, including without limitation the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan or in the application of any insurance in relation to such Mortgage Loan;

(38)  Any principal advances made to the Mortgagor prior to the Cut-off Date have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having first or second lien priority by a title insurance policy or an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee’s consolidated interest. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan;

 

(39)  Unless otherwise set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, no Mortgage Loan has a balloon payment feature;

(44)  Seller shall, at its own expense, cause each Mortgage Loan to be covered by a Tax Service Contract which is assignable to the Purchaser or its designee; provided however, that if the Seller fails to purchase such Tax Service Contract, the Seller shall be required to reimburse the Purchaser for all costs and expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with the purchase of any such Tax Service Contract;

 

(45)  Each Mortgage Loan is covered by a Flood Zone Service Contract which is assignable to the Purchaser or its designee or, for each Mortgage Loan not covered by such Flood Zone Service Contract, the Seller agrees to purchase such Flood Zone Service Contract;

LEVELS® Glossary Revised, Appendix E);

 

(47)  No predatory or deceptive lending practices, including but not limited to, the extension of credit to a mortgagor without regard for the mortgagor’s ability to repay the Mortgage Loan and the extension of credit to a mortgagor which has no apparent benefit to the mortgagor, were employed in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan.

No Mortgagor obtained a prepaid single premium credit insurance policy (e.g., life, disability, accident, unemployment, mortgage, or health insurance) in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan. No proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used to purchase single premium credit insurance policies or debt cancellation agreements as part of the origination of, or as a condition to closing, such Mortgage Loan;

 

(50)  The Mortgage Loans were not selected from the outstanding one to four-family mortgage loans in the Seller’s portfolio at the related Closing Date as to which the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement could be made in a manner so as to affect adversely the interests of the Purchaser;

With respect to any Mortgage Loan that contains a provision permitting imposition of a Prepayment Charge upon a prepayment prior to maturity: (i) prior to the Mortgage Loan’s
origination, the Mortgagor agreed to such Prepayment Charge in exchange for a monetary benefit, including but not limited to a rate or fee reduction, (ii) prior to the Mortgage Loan’s origination, the Mortgagor was offered the option of obtaining a Mortgage Loan that did not require payment of such a Prepayment Charge, (iii) the Prepayment Charge is disclosed to the Mortgagor in the loan documents pursuant to applicable state and federal law, (v) for Mortgage Loans originated on or after September 1, 2004, the duration of the Prepayment Period shall not exceed three (3) years from the date of the Mortgage Note, unless the Mortgage Loan was modified to reduce the prepayment period to no more than three years from the date of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgagor was notified in writing of such reduction in prepayment period, and (v) notwithstanding any state or federal law to the contrary, the Seller shall not impose such Prepayment Charge in any instance when the mortgage debt is accelerated as the

EXHIBIT F-2

 

The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:

 

1.  The undersigned is an officer of, the proposed Transferee of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate (the “Certificate”) issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of October 1, 2006 (the “Agreement”), among Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust Inc., as depositor (the “Depositor”), CitiMortgage, Inc., as master servicer and trust administrator (the “Master Servicer”), Citibank, N.A., as paying agent, certificate registrar and authenticating agent (the “Paying Agent”) and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein or in Exhibit 1 hereto, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement. The Transferee has authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit on behalf of the Transferee for the benefit of the Depositor and the Trustee.

 

2.  The Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the date of the Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Certificate for its own account. The Transferee has no knowledge that any such affidavit is false.

 

3.  The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax will be imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not Permitted Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if such Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and (iii) the Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that such subsequent Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of Transfer, such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false.

 

4.  The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will be imposed on a “pass-through entity” holding the Certificate if at any time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity. The Transferee understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with respect to which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an affidavit that such record holder is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through entity does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this purpose, a “pass-through entity” includes a regulated investment company, a real
estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations, persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another Person.)

 

5.  The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an Ownership Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the restrictions on subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the Transfer and mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement and the restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands and agrees that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall render the Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.

 

6.  The Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any Person to whom the Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the Certificate, and in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not Transfer its Ownership Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be Transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is not a Permitted Transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit L to the Agreement (a “Transferor Certificate”) to the effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to which the Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.

 

7.  The Transferee has historically paid its debts as they have come due, intends to pay its debts as they come due in the future, and understands that the taxes payable with respect to the Certificate may exceed the cash flow with respect thereto in some or all periods and intends to pay such taxes as they become due. The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the Certificate.

 

8.  The Transferee’s taxpayer identification number is ___________.

 

9.  The Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code Section 7701(a)(30).

 

10.  The Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a “noneconomic residual interest” within the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

 

11.  The Transferee will not cause income from the Certificate to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Transferee or any other U.S. person.

 

12.  Check one of the following:

o  The present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum of:

 


	
(i)
	
the present value of any consideration given to the Transferee to acquire such Certificate;

	 	 
	
(ii)
	
the present value of the expected future distributions on such Certificate; and

	 	 
	
(iii)
	
the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding such Certificate as the related REMIC generates losses.






 

For purposes of this calculation, (i) the Transferee is assumed to pay tax at the highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code (but the tax rate in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the highest rate specified in Section 11(b) of the Code if the Transferee has been subject to the alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the preceding two years and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year using the alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) present values are computed using a discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed by Section 1274(d) of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding period used by the Transferee.

 

o   The transfer of the Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly,

 


	
(i)
	
the Transferee is an “eligible corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to which income from the Certificate will only be taxed in the United States;

	 	 
	
(ii)
	
at the time of the transfer, and at the close of the Transferee’s two fiscal years preceding the year of the transfer, the Transferee had gross assets for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a person related to the Transferee within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100 million and net assets in excess of $10 million;

	 	 
	
(iii)
	
the Transferee will transfer the Certificate only to another “eligible corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that satisfies the requirements of Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Section 1.860E-1(c)(5) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations; and

	 	 
	
(iv)
	
the Transferee determined the consideration paid to it to acquire the Certificate based on reasonable market assumptions (including, but not limited to, borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and loss assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and other factors specific to the Transferee) that it has determined in good faith.






 

o  None of the above.

 

 

13.  The Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of ERISA or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan subject to any Federal, state or local law that is substantially similar to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and the Transferee is not acting on behalf of or investing plan assets of such a plan.






















 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Transferee has caused this instrument to be executed on its behalf, pursuant to authority of its Board of Directors, by its duly authorized officer and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed, duly attested, this      day of                   , 20  .
