            (7)
 	
            For federal income tax purposes, the Class IO Interest will not have an Uncertificated Principal Balance, but will have a notional amount equal to the Uncertificated Notional Amount of REMIC II Regular Interest IO.

With respect to the Class IO Interest and any Distribution Date, an amount equal to the Uncertificated Notional Amount of the REMIC II Regular Interest IO.   With respect to REMIC VI Regular Interest IO, an amount equal to the Uncertificated Notional Amount of the Class IO Interest.


Uncertificated Pass-Through Rate:  The Uncertificated REMIC I Pass-Through Rate and Uncertificated REMIC II Pass-Through Rate.


 









 


Uncertificated Principal Balance:  The amount of REMIC Regular Interests and Class P Interest outstanding as of any date of determination. As of the Closing Date, the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC Regular Interest and Class P Interest shall equal the amount set forth in the Preliminary Statement hereto as its initial uncertificated principal balance. On each Distribution Date, the Uncertificated Principal Balance of the REMIC Regular Interests and Class P Interest shall be reduced by all distributions of principal made on such REMIC Regular Interests and Class P Interest on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.07 and, if and to the extent necessary and appropriate, shall be further reduced on such Distribution Date by Realized Losses as provided in Section 5.05, and the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ
shall be increased by interest deferrals as provided in Section 5.07(c)(1)(ii). The Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC Regular Interest and Class P Interest shall never be less than zero.  With respect to the Class CE Interest as of any date of determination, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the then aggregate Uncertificated Principal Balance of the REMIC II Regular Interests over (B) the then aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A Certificates and the Class M Certificates and the Uncertified Principal Balance of the Class P Interest then outstanding.


Uncertificated REMIC I Pass-Through Rate:  With respect to each REMIC I Group I Regular Interest ending with the designation “A”, a per annum rate equal to the weighted average Net Mortgage Rate of Loan Group I multiplied by 2, subject to a maximum rate of 7.9040%.  With respect to each REMIC I Group I Regular Interest ending with the designation “B”, the greater of (x) a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (i) 2 multiplied by the weighted average Net Mortgage Rate of Loan Group I over (ii) 7.9040% and (y) 0.00%.  With respect to each REMIC I Group II Regular Interest ending with the designation “A”, a per annum rate equal to the weighted average Net Mortgage Rate of Loan Group II multiplied by 2, subject to a maximum rate of 7.9040%.  With respect to each REMIC I Group II Regular Interest ending with the designation
“B”, the greater of (x) a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (i) 2 multiplied by the weighted average Net Mortgage Rate of Loan Group II over (ii) 7.9040% and (y) 0.00%.  With respect to REMIC I Regular Interest P, 0.00%.


Uncertificated REMIC II Pass-Through Rate:  With respect to REMIC II Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular Interest I-A-1, REMIC II Regular Interest I-A-2, REMIC II Regular Interest I-A-3, REMIC II Regular Interest II-A-1, REMIC II Regular Interest II-A-2, REMIC II Regular Interest M-1, REMIC II Regular Interest M-2, REMIC II Regular Interest M-3, REMIC II Regular Interest M-4, REMIC II Regular Interest M-5, REMIC II Regular Interest M-6, REMIC II Regular Interest M-7, REMIC II Regular Interest M-8, REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ,  REMIC II Regular Interest 1A, REMIC II Regular Interest 2A and REMIC II Regular Interest XX, a per annum rate (but not less than zero) equal to the weighted average of (x) with respect to REMIC I Regular Interests ending with the designation “B”, the weighted average of the Uncertificated REMIC I Pass-Through Rates for such
REMIC I Regular Interests, weighted on the basis of the Uncertificated Principal Balances of such REMIC I Regular Interests for each such Distribution Date and (y) with respect to REMIC I Regular Interests ending with the designation “A”, for each Distribution Date listed below, the weighted average of the rates listed below for each such REMIC I Regular Interest listed below, weighted on the basis of the Uncertificated Principal Balances of each such REMIC I Regular Interest for each such Distribution Date:

CONVEYANCE OF TRUST FUND


REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES



	
            Section 2.01
 	
            Conveyance of Trust Fund.  
 



Pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, each Seller sold, transferred, assigned, set over and otherwise conveyed to the Depositor, without recourse, all the right, title and interest of such Seller in and to the assets sold by it in the Trust Fund.


EMC has entered into this Agreement in consideration for the purchase of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and has agreed to take the actions specified herein.


The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, hereby sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Trustee for the use and benefit of the Certificateholders, without recourse, all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the Trust Fund. 


In connection with such sale, the Depositor has delivered to, and deposited with, the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, the following documents or instruments with respect to each Mortgage Loan so assigned:  (i) the original Mortgage Note, including any riders thereto, endorsed without recourse (A) to the order of “LaSalle Bank National Association, as Trustee for Certificateholders of Bear Stearns Asset-Backed Securities I LLC Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2005-AQ1,” or (B) in the case of a loan registered on the MERS system, in blank, and in each case showing an unbroken chain of endorsements from the original payee thereof to the Person endorsing it to the Trustee, (ii) the original Mortgage and, if the related Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, noting the presence of the MIN and language indicating that such Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, which shall have been recorded
(or if the original is not available, a copy), with evidence of such recording indicated thereon (or if clause (x) in the proviso below applies, shall be in recordable form), (iii) unless the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, the assignment (either an original or a copy, which may be in the form of a blanket assignment if permitted in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located) to the Trustee of the Mortgage with respect to each Mortgage Loan in the name of “LaSalle Bank National Association, as Trustee for Certificateholders of Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC Asset Backed Certificates, Series 2005-AQ1,” which shall have been recorded (or if clause (x) in the proviso below applies, shall be in recordable form), (iv) an original or a copy of all intervening assignments of the Mortgage, if any, with evidence of recording thereon, (v) the original policy of title insurance or mortgagee’s certificate of title insurance or commitment or binder for
title insurance, if available, or a copy thereof, or, in the event that such original title insurance policy is unavailable, a photocopy thereof, or in lieu thereof, a current lien search on the related Mortgaged Property and (vi) originals or copies of all available assumption, modification or substitution agreements, if any; provided, however, that in lieu of the foregoing, the related Seller may deliver the following documents, under the circumstances set forth below:  (x) if any Mortgage, assignment thereof to the Trustee or intervening assignments thereof have been delivered or are being delivered to recording offices for recording and have not been returned in time to permit their delivery as 


 









 


specified above, the Depositor may deliver a true copy thereof with a certification by the such Seller or the title company issuing the commitment for title insurance, on the face of such copy, substantially as follows:  “Certified to be a true and correct copy of the original, which has been transmitted for recording” and (y) in lieu of the Mortgage Notes relating to the Mortgage Loans identified in the list set forth in Exhibit I, the Depositor may deliver a lost note affidavit and indemnity and a copy of the original note, if available; and provided, further, however, that in the case of Mortgage Loans which have been prepaid in full after the Cut-Off Date and prior to the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents, may deliver to the Trustee and the Custodian a certification of a Servicing Officer to such effect and in such case shall deposit all amounts paid in
respect of such Mortgage Loans, in the Protected Account or in the Distribution Account on the Closing Date. In the case of the documents referred to in clause (x) above, the Depositor shall deliver such documents to the Trustee or the Custodian promptly after they are received. 


EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) shall cause, at its expense, the Mortgage and intervening assignments, if any, and to the extent required in accordance with the foregoing, the assignment of the Mortgage to the Trustee to be submitted for recording promptly after the Closing Date; provided that, EMC need not cause to be recorded (a) any assignment in any jurisdiction under the laws of which, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee delivered by EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding)  to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies, the recordation of such assignment is not necessary to protect the Trustee’s interest in the related Mortgage Loan or (b) if MERS is identified on the Mortgage or on a properly recorded assignment of the Mortgage as the mortgagee of record solely as nominee for the related Seller
and its successors and assigns. In the event that any Seller, the Depositor or the Master Servicer gives written notice to the Trustee that a court has recharacterized the sale of the Mortgage Loans as a financing, EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) shall submit or cause to be submitted for recording as specified above each such previously unrecorded assignment to be submitted for recording as specified above at the expense of the Trust. In the event a Mortgage File is released to the Master Servicer as a result of such Person having completed a Request for Release, the Custodian shall, if not so completed, complete the assignment of the related Mortgage in the manner specified in clause (iii) above.


In connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on the MERS® System, EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding)  further agrees that it will cause, at EMC’s own expense, within 30 days after the Closing Date, the MERS® System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) to the Depositor and by the Depositor to the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) 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. EMC (on its own
behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) further agrees that it will not, and will not permit the Master Servicer to, and the Master Servicer agrees that it will not, 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 or the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.


 









 


The Depositor, EMC, the Master Servicer and the Trustee agree that it is not intended that any mortgage loan be included in the Trust that is (i) a “High-Cost Home Loan” as defined in the New Jersey Home Ownership Security 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, (iv) a “High-Cost Home Loan” as defined in the Indiana Home Loan Practices Act effective as of January 1, 2005, (v) a “High-Cost Home Loan” as defined in the Illinois High Risk Home Loan Act effective January 1, 2004 or (vi) a “High-Cost Home Loan” as defined in the Kentucky High Cost Home Loan Act effective June 24, 2003.



	
            Section 2.02
 	
            Acceptance of the Mortgage Loans.  
 



(a)        Based on the Initial Certification received by it from the Custodian, the Trustee acknowledges receipt of, subject to the further review and exceptions reported by the Custodian pursuant to the procedures described below, the documents (or certified copies thereof) delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf pursuant to Section 2.01 and declares that it holds and will continue to hold directly or through a custodian those documents and any amendments, replacements or supplements thereto and all other assets of the Trust Fund delivered to it in trust for the use and benefit of all present and future Holders of the Certificates.  On the Closing Date, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf will deliver an Initial Certification, in the form of Exhibit One to the Custodial Agreement, confirming whether or not it has received
the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan, but without review of such Mortgage File, except to the extent necessary to confirm whether such Mortgage File contains the original Mortgage Note or a lost note affidavit and indemnity in lieu thereof. No later than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf shall, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, review each Mortgage File delivered to it and execute and deliver to EMC (on its own behalf and on behalf of Master Funding) and the Master Servicer and, if reviewed by the Custodian or the Trustee, an Interim Certifications, substantially in the form of Exhibit Two to the Custodial Agreement. In conducting such review, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf will ascertain whether all required documents have been executed and received and whether those documents relate, determined on the basis of the Mortgagor name, original principal balance and loan number, to the Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit B
to this Agreement, as supplemented (provided, however, that with respect to those documents described in subclauses (iv) and (vi) of Section 2.01, such obligations shall extend only to documents actually delivered pursuant to such subclauses).  In performing any such review, the Trustee and the Custodian may conclusively rely on the purported due execution and genuineness of any such document and on the purported genuineness of any signature thereon. If the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf finds any document constituting part of the Mortgage File not to have been executed or received, or to be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit B or to appear to be defective on its face, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf shall include such information in the exception report attached to the Interim Certification. EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) shall correct or cure any such defect or, if prior to the end of the second anniversary
of the Closing Date, EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) may substitute for the related Mortgage Loan a Replacement Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03 or shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee to the effect that such 


 









 


defect does not materially or adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan within 60 days from the date of notice from the Trustee of the defect and if EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) fails to correct or cure the defect or deliver such opinion within such period, EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) will, subject to Section 2.03, within 90 days from the notification of the Trustee purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price; provided, however, that if such defect relates solely to the inability of EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) to deliver the Mortgage, assignment thereof to the Trustee, or intervening assignments thereof with evidence of recording thereon because such documents have been submitted for recording and have not been returned by the applicable
jurisdiction, EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan if EMC delivers such documents promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date.


(b)        No later than 180 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf will review, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Mortgage Files and will execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered to EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) and the Master Servicer and, if reviewed by the Custodian or the Trustee, a Final Certification, substantially in the form of Exhibit Three to the Custodial Agreement. In conducting such review, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf will ascertain whether each document required to be recorded has been returned from the recording office with evidence of recording thereon and the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf has received either an original or a copy thereof, as required in Section 2.01 (provided, however, that with respect to
those documents described in subclauses (iv) and (vi) of Section 2.01, such obligations shall extend only to documents actually delivered pursuant to such subclauses). If the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf finds any document with respect to a Mortgage Loan has not been received, or to be unrelated, determined on the basis of the Mortgagor name, original principal balance and loan number, to the Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit B or to appear defective on its face, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf shall note such defect in the exception report attached to the Final Certification and shall promptly notify EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding). EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) shall correct or cure any such defect or, if prior to the end of the second anniversary of the Closing Date, EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) may substitute for the related Mortgage Loan a
Replacement Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03 or shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee to the effect that such defect does not materially or adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan within 60 days from the date of notice from the Trustee of the defect and if EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) is unable within such period to correct or cure such defect, or to substitute the related Mortgage Loan with a Replacement Mortgage Loan or to deliver such opinion, EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) shall, subject to Section 2.03, within 90 days from the notification of the Trustee, purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price; provided, however, that if such defect relates solely to the inability of EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master
Funding) to deliver the Mortgage, assignment thereof to the Trustee or intervening assignments thereof with evidence of recording thereon, because such documents have not been returned by the applicable jurisdiction, EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of 


 









 


Master Funding) shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan, if EMC delivers such documents promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Trustee shall have no responsibility with respect to the custody or review of Mortgage Files held by the Custodian pursuant to the Custodial Agreement.  The Trustee shall have no liability for the failure of the Custodian to perform its obligations under the Custodial Agreement.


(c)        In the event that a Mortgage Loan is purchased by EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) in accordance with subsections 2.02(a) or (b) above or Section 2.03, EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) shall remit the applicable Purchase Price to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Protected Account and shall provide written notice to the Trustee detailing the components of the Purchase Price, signed by a Servicing Officer. Upon deposit of the Purchase Price in the Protected Account and upon receipt of a Request for Release with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the Trustee or the Custodian will release to EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver all instruments of transfer or assignment,
without recourse, representation or warranty furnished to it by the related Seller, as are necessary to vest in the title to and rights under the Mortgage Loan. Such purchase shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the deposit into the Protected Account was made. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies of such repurchase. The obligation of EMC to cure, repurchase or substitute for any Mortgage Loan as to which a defect in a constituent document exists shall be the sole remedies respecting such defect available to the Certificateholders or to the Trustee on their behalf.


(d)        EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) shall deliver to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf, and Trustee agrees to accept the Mortgage Note and other documents constituting the Mortgage File with respect to any Replacement Mortgage Loan, which the Trustee or the Custodian will review as provided in subsections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b), provided, that the Closing Date referred to therein shall instead be the date of delivery of the Mortgage File with respect to each Replacement Mortgage Loan.


Section 2.03     Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Master Servicer and EMC as a Seller.

(v)        EMC is an approved seller of conventional mortgage loans for Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and is a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act.


(vi)        No litigation is pending or, to the best of EMC’s knowledge, threatened, against EMC that would materially and adversely affect the execution, delivery or enforceability of this Agreement or the ability of EMC to sell the Mortgage Loans or to perform any of its other obligations under this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof.


(vii)       No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by EMC of, or compliance by EMC with, this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, or if any such consent, approval, authorization or order is required, EMC has obtained the same.


(viii)      With respect to each Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date (or such other date as may be specified in Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement), EMC hereby remakes and restates each of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to the Depositor and the Trustee to the same extent as if fully set forth herein.


(c)        Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a representation or warranty set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other parties. Any breach of a representation or warranty contained in clauses (gg), (hh) and (tt) through (ww) of Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of a Group II Loan, shall be deemed to materially adversely affect the interests of the related Certificateholders. EMC in its capacity as Seller hereby covenants, with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans, that within 90
days of the discovery of a breach of any representation or warranty set forth therein that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, it shall cure such breach in all material respects and, if such breach is not so cured, (i) if such 90 day period expires prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, remove such Mortgage Loan (a “Deleted Mortgage Loan”) from the Trust Fund and substitute in its place a Replacement Mortgage Loan, in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section; or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans from the Trustee at the Purchase Price in the manner set forth below; provided that any such substitution pursuant to (i) above or repurchase pursuant to (ii) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel if required by Section 2.05 hereof and any such substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected prior to
the additional delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release. The Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the parties hereto of EMC’s failure to cure such breach as set forth in the preceding sentence.  EMC shall promptly reimburse the Master Servicer and the Trustee for any expenses reasonably incurred by the Master Servicer or the Trustee in respect of enforcing the remedies for such breach. To enable the Master Servicer to amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule, EMC shall, unless 


 









 


it cures such breach in a timely fashion pursuant to this Section 2.03, promptly notify the Master Servicer whether it intends either to repurchase, or to substitute for, the Mortgage Loan affected by such breach. With respect to the representations and warranties with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are made to the best of EMC’s knowledge, if it is discovered by any of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, EMC, the Trustee or the Custodian that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding EMC’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation or warranty, EMC in its capacity as Seller shall nevertheless be required to cure, substitute for or repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan in accordance with the foregoing.


With respect to any Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans, EMC in its capacity as Seller (pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement) shall deliver to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf for the benefit of the Certificateholders such documents and agreements as are required by Section 2.01. No substitution will be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. Scheduled Payments due with respect to Replacement Mortgage Loans in the Due Period related to the Distribution Date on which such proceeds are to be distributed shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by EMC in its capacity as Seller. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the Scheduled Payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan for the related Due Period and thereafter EMC in its capacity as Seller shall be entitled to retain all amounts
received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans and the Master Servicer shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee and the Custodian. Upon such substitution, the Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and EMC shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the representations and warranties set forth in Section 7 or Section 8 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Upon any such substitution and the deposit into the Protected Account of the amount required to be deposited therein in connection with such substitution as described in the following paragraph and receipt by the Trustee of
a Request for Release for such Mortgage Loan, the Trustee or the Custodian shall release to EMC  the Mortgage File relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan and held for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at EMC’s direction such instruments of transfer or assignment as have been prepared by EMC in each case without recourse, representation or warranty as shall be necessary to vest in EMC or its respective designee, title to the Trustee’s interest in any Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.03.


For any month in which EMC substitutes one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all the Replacement Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the Stated Principal Balance (after application of the principal portion of the Scheduled Payment due in the month of substitution) of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. An amount equal to the aggregate of such deficiencies, described in the preceding sentence for any Distribution Date (such amount, the “Substitution Adjustment Amount”) shall be deposited into the Protected Account, by EMC delivering such Replacement Mortgage Loan on the 


 









 


Determination Date for the Distribution Date relating to the Prepayment Period during which the related Mortgage Loan became required to be purchased or replaced hereunder.


In the event that EMC in its capacity as Seller shall have repurchased a Mortgage Loan, the Purchase Price therefor shall be deposited into the Protected Account, on the Determination Date for the Distribution Date in the month following the month during which EMC became obligated to repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan and upon such deposit of the Purchase Price, the delivery of an Opinion of Counsel if required by Section 2.05 and the receipt of a Request for Release, the Trustee or the Custodian shall release the related Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders to EMC and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at such Person’s direction the related instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by EMC, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to transfer title from the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and transfer the
Trustee’s interest to EMC (on its own as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) to any Mortgage Loan purchased pursuant to this Section 2.03. It is understood and agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of EMC to cure, repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedies against EMC in its capacity as Seller respecting such breach available to the Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee.


(d)        The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.03 hereof shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Loans and Mortgage Files to the Trustee or the Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

Section 2.05     Delivery of Opinion of Counsel in Connection with Substitutions and Repurchases.  


(a)        Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not in default or as to which default is not imminent, no repurchase or substitution pursuant to Sections 2.02 or 2.03 shall be made unless the Seller delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect that such repurchase or substitution would not (i) result in the imposition of the tax on “prohibited transactions” of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV, REMIC V or REMIC VI or contributions after the Closing Date, as defined in sections 860F(a)(2) and 860G(d) of the Code, respectively, or (ii) cause any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV, REMIC V or REMIC VI to fail to

The Trustee shall
reconvey to EMC the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto (and the Custodian shall deliver the related Mortgage File) in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty in accordance with Section 2.03.

ARTICLE III


 


ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS



	
            Section 3.01
 	
            The Master Servicer to act as Master Servicer.  
 



The Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage loan servicers in the respective states in which the related Mortgaged Properties are located. In connection with such servicing and administration, the Master Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or through subservicers as provided in Section 3.03, to do or cause to be done any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such servicing and administration, including but not limited to, the power and authority, subject to the terms hereof (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any related Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and
related Mortgages (but only in the manner provided herein), (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries, and (iv) subject to Section 3.09, to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan; provided that the Master Servicer shall take no action that is inconsistent with or prejudices the interests of the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan or the rights and interests of the Depositor or the Trustee under this Agreement.


Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer, in its own name or in the name of the Trust, the Depositor or the Trustee, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trust, the Depositor and the Trustee, when the Master Servicer believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificateholders or any of them, 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 with respect to the Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Depositor and/or the Trustee such documents requiring execution and delivery by any or all of them as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to service
and administer the Mortgage Loans. Upon receipt of such documents, the Depositor and/or the Trustee shall execute such documents and deliver them to the Master Servicer.


In accordance with the standards of the first paragraph of this Section 3.01, the Master Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 5.03, and further as provided in Section 5.02. All costs incurred by the Master Servicer, if any, in effecting the timely payments of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties and related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the Stated Principal Balance under the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.


 









 


 



	
            Section 3.02
 	
            Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.  
 



(a)        Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.02, when any property subject to a Mortgage has been or is about to be conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall to the extent that it has knowledge of such conveyance, enforce any due-on-sale clause contained in any Mortgage Note or Mortgage, to the extent permitted under applicable law and governmental regulations, but only to the extent that such enforcement will not adversely affect or jeopardize coverage under any Required Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer is not required to exercise such rights with respect to a Mortgage Loan if the Person to whom the related Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed satisfies the terms and conditions contained in the Mortgage Note and Mortgage related thereto and the consent of the
mortgagee under such Mortgage Note or Mortgage is not otherwise so required under such Mortgage Note or Mortgage as a condition to such transfer. In the event that the Master Servicer is prohibited by law from enforcing any such due-on-sale clause, or if coverage under any Required Insurance Policy would be adversely affected, or if nonenforcement is otherwise permitted hereunder, the Master Servicer is authorized, subject to Section 3.02(b), to take or enter into an assumption and modification agreement from or with the person to whom such property has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon, provided that the Mortgage Loan shall continue to be covered (if so covered before the Master Servicer enters such agreement) by the applicable Required Insurance Policies. The Master Servicer, subject to Section 3.02(b), is also authorized with the
prior approval of the insurers under any Required Insurance Policies 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 Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default under this Section 3.02(a) by reason of any transfer or assumption that the Master Servicer reasonably believes it is restricted by law from preventing.


(b)        Subject to the Master Servicer’s duty to enforce any due-on-sale clause to the extent set forth in Section 3.02(a), in any case in which a Mortgaged Property has been conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor, and such Person is to enter into an assumption agreement or modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage that requires the signature of the Trustee, or if an instrument of release signed by the Trustee is required releasing the Mortgagor from liability on the related Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall prepare and deliver or cause to be prepared and delivered to the Trustee for signature and shall direct, in writing, the Trustee to execute the assumption agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed and such modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or
Mortgage or other instruments as are reasonable or necessary to carry out the terms of the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise to comply with any applicable laws regarding assumptions or the transfer of the Mortgaged Property to such Person. In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note (including, but not limited to, the Mortgage Rate, the amount of the Scheduled Payment and any other term affecting the amount or timing of payment on the Mortgage Loan) may be changed. In addition, the substitute Mortgagor and the Mortgaged Property must be acceptable to the Master Servicer in accordance with its servicing standards as then in effect. The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee 


 









 


the original of such substitution or assumption agreement, which in the case of the original 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. Any fee collected by the Master Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement will be retained by the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation.



	
            Section 3.03
 	
            Subservicers.  
 



The Master Servicer shall perform all of its servicing responsibilities hereunder or may cause a subservicer to perform any such servicing responsibilities on its behalf, but the use by the Master Servicer of a subservicer shall not release the Master Servicer from any of its obligations hereunder and the Master Servicer shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of each subservicer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall pay all fees of each subservicer from its own funds, and a subservicer’s fee shall not exceed the Servicing Fee payable to the Master Servicer hereunder.


At the cost and expense of the Master Servicer, without any right of reimbursement from its Protected Account, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and responsibilities of a subservicer and arrange for any servicing responsibilities to be performed by a successor subservicer; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prevent or prohibit the Master Servicer, at the Master Servicer’s option, from electing to service the related Mortgage Loans itself. In the event that the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement are terminated pursuant to Section 8.03, the Master Servicer shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights and responsibilities of each subservicer effective as of the date of termination of the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties necessary in
order to terminate the rights and responsibilities of each subservicer from the Master Servicer’s own funds without reimbursement from the Trust Fund.


Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not be relieved of its obligations hereunder and shall be obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with a subservicer for indemnification of the Master Servicer by the subservicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.


Any subservicing agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a subservicer shall be deemed to be between such subservicer and the Master Servicer alone, and the Trustee shall not have any obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to such subservicer including any obligation, duty or liability of the Trustee to pay such subservicer’s fees and expenses. Each subservicing agreement shall provide that such agreement may be assumed or terminated without cause or penalty by the Trustee or other Successor Master Servicer in the event the Master Servicer is terminated in accordance with this Agreement.  For purposes of remittances to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received a payment on a Mortgage Loan when a subservicer has received such payment.


 









 


Section 3.04     Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of the Master Servicer To Be Held for Trustee.  


Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall transmit to the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee as required by this Agreement all documents and instruments in respect of a Mortgage Loan coming into the possession of the Master Servicer from time to time and shall account fully to the Trustee for any funds received by the Master Servicer or that otherwise are collected by the Master Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries in respect of any such Mortgage Loan.  All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the Master Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries, including but not limited to, any funds on deposit in the Protected Account, shall be held by the
Master Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee, subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer also agrees that it shall not create, incur or subject any Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the Protected Account or in any Escrow Account, or any funds that otherwise are or may become due or payable to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, or assert by legal action or otherwise any claim or right of set off against any Mortgage File or any funds collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except, however, that the Master Servicer shall be entitled to set off against and deduct from any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master Servicer under this Agreement.



	
            Section 3.05
 	
            Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.  
 



The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained, for each Mortgage Loan, hazard insurance on buildings upon, or comprising part of, the Mortgaged Property against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the related Mortgaged Property is located with an insurer which is licensed to do business in the state where the related Mortgaged Property is located. Each such policy of standard hazard insurance shall contain, or have an accompanying endorsement that contains, a standard mortgagee clause. The Master Servicer shall also cause flood insurance to be maintained on property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, to the extent described below.  Pursuant to Section 4.01, any amounts collected by the Master Servicer under any such policies (other than the amounts to be applied to the
restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or property thus acquired or amounts released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Master Servicer’s normal servicing procedures) shall be deposited in the Protected Account. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders or remittances to the Trustee for their benefit, be added to the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit.  Such costs shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer out of late payments by the related Mortgagor or out of Liquidation Proceeds to the extent permitted by Section 4.02. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of a Mortgage 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 is located at the 


 









 


time of origination of the Mortgage Loan in a federally designated special flood hazard area and such area is participating in the national flood insurance program, the Master Servicer shall cause flood insurance to be maintained with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the least of (i) the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) minimum amount required to compensate for damage or loss on a replacement cost basis or (iii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended.


In the event that the Master Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy 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 sentence of this Section 3.05, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause on terms substantially equivalent to those commercially available and maintained by comparable servicers.  If such policy contains a deductible clause, the Master Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with the first sentence of this Section 3.05, and there shall have been a loss that would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Protected Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. Such deposit shall
be from the Master Servicer’s own funds without reimbursement therefor.  In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the Depositor and the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders claims under any such blanket policy.



	
            Section 3.06
 	
            Presentment of Claims and Collection of Proceeds.  
 



The Master Servicer shall prepare and present on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders all claims under the Insurance Policies and take such actions (including the negotiation, settlement, compromise or enforcement of the insured’s claim) as shall be necessary to realize recovery under such Insurance Policies. Any proceeds disbursed to the Master Servicer in respect of such Insurance Policies shall be promptly deposited in the Protected Account upon receipt, except that any amounts realized that are to be applied to the repair or restoration of the related Mortgaged Property as a condition precedent to the presentation of claims on the related Mortgage Loan to the insurer under any applicable Insurance Policy need not be so deposited (or remitted).



	
            Section 3.07
 	
            Maintenance of the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies.  
 



(a)        The Master Servicer shall not take any action that would result in noncoverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Master Servicer would have been covered thereunder. The Master Servicer shall use its best efforts to keep in force and effect (to the extent that the Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance), Primary Mortgage Insurance applicable to each Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall not cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the Mortgage Note and is required to be kept in force hereunder.


(b)        The Master Servicer agrees to present on behalf of the Trustee, the Certificateholders claims to the insurer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and, in 


 









 


this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to Section 4.01, any amounts collected by the Master Servicer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the Protected Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof.



	
            Section 3.08
 	
            Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance.  
 



The Master Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible companies on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loans and who handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loans.  The fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker’s Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Master Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons.  Such fidelity bond shall also protect and insure the Master Servicer against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan which is not in
accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.  No provision of this Section 3.08 requiring the fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Master Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement.  The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by Accepted Servicing Practices.  The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate from the surety and the insurer as to the existence of the fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance policy and shall obtain a statement from the surety and the insurer that such fidelity bond or insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty days prior written notice to the Trustee.  The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee within five business days of receipt of notice that such fidelity bond or insurance policy will be, or has been, materially modified or
terminated.  The Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders must be named as loss payees on the fidelity bond and as additional insured on the errors and omissions policy.


Section 3.09     Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; Determination of Excess Liquidation Proceeds and Realized Losses; Repurchases of Certain Mortgage Loans.  


(a)        The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to 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. In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Master Servicer shall follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and the requirements of the insurer under any Required Insurance Policy; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration of any property unless it shall determine (i) that such restoration and/or foreclosure will increase
the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself of such expenses and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable to it through Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Protected Account pursuant to Section 4.02). If the Master Servicer 


 









 


reasonably believes that Liquidation Proceeds with respect to any such Mortgage Loan would not be increased as a result of such foreclosure or other action, such Mortgage Loan will be charged-off and will become a Liquidated Loan. The Master Servicer will give notice of any such charge-off to the Trustee.  The Master Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided that such costs and expenses shall be Servicing Advances and that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 4.02. If the Master Servicer has knowledge that a Mortgaged Property that the Master Servicer is contemplating acquiring in foreclosure or by deed- in-lieu of foreclosure is located within a one-mile radius of any site with environmental or hazardous waste risks known to the
Master Servicer, the Master Servicer will, prior to acquiring the Mortgaged Property, consider such risks and only take action in accordance with its established environmental review procedures.


With respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders (or the Trustee’s nominee on behalf of the Certificateholders). The Trustee’s name shall be placed on the title to such REO Property solely as the Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity. The Master Servicer shall ensure that the title to such REO Property references this Agreement and the Trustee’s capacity hereunder. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Master Servicer protect and conserve such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary in the locality where such REO Property is located and may, incident to its conservation and protection of the interests of the Certificateholders, rent the same, or
any part thereof, as the Master Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Master Servicer and the Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property. The Master Servicer shall prepare for and deliver to the Trustee a statement with respect to each REO Property that has been rented showing the aggregate rental income received and all expenses incurred in connection with the management and maintenance of such REO Property at such times as is necessary to enable the Trustee to comply with the reporting requirements of the REMIC Provisions. The net monthly rental income, if any, from such REO Property shall be deposited in the Protected Account no later than the close of business on each Determination Date.  The Master Servicer shall perform the tax reporting and withholding related to foreclosures, abandonments and cancellation of indebtedness income as specified by Sections 1445, 6050J and 6050P of the Code by preparing and filing such tax and information
returns, as may be required.


In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property prior to three years after its acquisition by the Trust Fund or, at the expense of the Trust Fund, request more than 60 days prior to the day on which such three-year period would otherwise expire, an extension of the three-year grace period unless the Trustee shall have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee (such opinion not to be an expense of the Trustee) to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such Mortgaged Property subsequent to such three-year period will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV, REMIC V or REMIC VI as defined in section 860F of
the Code or cause any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV, REMIC V or REMIC VI to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, in which case the Trust Fund may continue to hold such 


 









 


Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV, REMIC V or REMIC VI to the imposition of any federal, state or local income taxes on the income earned from such Mortgaged Property under section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless the Master Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.


The decision of the Master Servicer to foreclose on a defaulted Mortgage Loan shall be subject to a determination by the Master Servicer that the proceeds of such foreclosure would exceed the costs and expenses of bringing such a proceeding. The income earned from the management of any Mortgaged Properties acquired through foreclosure or other judicial proceeding, net of reimbursement to the Master Servicer for expenses incurred (including any property or other taxes) in connection with such management and net of unreimbursed Servicing Fees, Advances, Servicing Advances and any management fee paid or to be paid with respect to the management of such Mortgaged Property, shall be applied to the payment of principal of, and interest on, the related defaulted Mortgage Loans (with interest accruing as though such Mortgage Loans were still current) and all such income shall be deemed, for all
purposes in the Agreement, to be payments on account of principal and interest on the related Mortgage Notes and shall be deposited into the Protected Account. To the extent the income received during a Prepayment Period is in excess of the amount attributable to amortizing principal and accrued interest at the related Mortgage Rate on the related Mortgage Loan, such excess shall be considered to be a partial Principal Prepayment for all purposes hereof.


The Liquidation Proceeds from any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, net of any payment to the Master Servicer as provided above, shall be deposited in the Protected Account on the next succeeding Determination Date following receipt thereof for distribution on the related Distribution Date, except that any Excess Liquidation Proceeds shall be retained by the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation.


The proceeds of any Liquidated Loan, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of Liquidation Proceeds or any income from an REO Property, will be applied in the following order of priority:  first, to reimburse the Master Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees, pursuant to Section 4.02 or this Section 3.09; second, to reimburse the Master Servicer for any unreimbursed Advances, pursuant to Section 4.02 or this Section 3.09; third, to accrued and unpaid interest (to the extent no Advance has been made for such amount) on the Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, at the Net Mortgage Rate to the first day of the month in which such amounts are required to be distributed; and fourth, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan.


(b)        On each Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall determine the respective aggregate amounts of Excess Liquidation Proceeds and Realized Losses, if any, for the related Prepayment Period.


 









 


(c)        The Master Servicer has no intent to foreclose on any Mortgage Loan based on the delinquency characteristics as of the Closing Date; provided, that the foregoing does not prevent the Master Servicer from initiating foreclosure proceedings on any date hereafter if the facts and circumstances of such Mortgage Loans including delinquency characteristics in the Master Servicer’s discretion so warrant such action.



	
            Section 3.10
 	
            Servicing Compensation.  
 



As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain or withdraw from the Protected Account out of each payment of interest on a Mortgage Loan included in the Trust Fund an amount equal to the Servicing Fee.


Additional servicing compensation in the form of any Excess Liquidation Proceeds, assumption fees, late payment charges, all income and gain net of any losses realized from Permitted Investments with respect to funds in or credited to the Protected Account shall be retained by the Master Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the Protected Account pursuant to Section 4.02. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including payment of any premiums for hazard insurance, as required by Section 3.05 and maintenance of the other forms of insurance coverage required by Section 3.07) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided in Section 4.02.



	
            Section 3.11
 	
            REO Property.  
 



(a)        In the event the Trust Fund acquires ownership of any REO Property in respect of any related Mortgage Loan, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee, or to its nominee, on behalf of the related Certificateholders.  The Master Servicer shall sell any REO Property as expeditiously as possible and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall protect and conserve such REO Property in the manner and to the extent required herein, in accordance with the REMIC Provisions.


(b)        The Master Servicer shall deposit all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property into the Protected Account.


(c)        The Master Servicer, upon the final disposition of any REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related unreimbursed Advances, unreimbursed Servicing Advances or Servicing Fees from Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with the final disposition of such REO Property; provided, that any such unreimbursed Advances or Servicing Fees as well as any unpaid Servicing Fees may be reimbursed or paid, as the case may be, prior to final disposition, out of any net rental income or other net amounts derived from such REO Property.



	
            Section 3.12
 	
            Liquidation Reports.  
 



Upon the foreclosure of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition thereof by the Trust Fund pursuant to a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the Master Servicer shall submit a liquidation 


 









 


report to the Trustee containing such information as shall be mutually acceptable to the Master Servicer and the Trustee with respect to such Mortgaged Property.



	
            Section 3.13
 	
            Annual Certificate as to Compliance.  
 



(a)        The Master Servicer will deliver to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies not later than March 1, 2006 and not later than March 1 of each year thereafter, a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Master Servicer during the preceding calendar year or portion thereof and of its performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer’s supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officer’s 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 portion thereof, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof except for such defaults as
such officer in its good faith judgment believe to be immaterial.


(b)        Copies of such statements shall be provided to any Certificateholder upon request by the Master Servicer or by the Trustee at the Master Servicer’s expense if the Master Servicer failed to provide such copies (unless (i) the Master Servicer shall have failed to provide the Trustee with such statement or (ii) the Trustee shall be unaware of the Master Servicer’s failure to provide such statement).



	
            Section 3.14
 	
            Annual Independent Certified Public Accountants’ Servicing Report.  
 



Not later than March 1, 2006 and not later than March 1 of each year thereafter, the Master Servicer at its expense shall cause a firm of independent public accountants which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies to the effect that, with respect to the preceding calendar year, such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the Master Servicer’s servicing of mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loans pursuant to servicing agreements substantially similar to this Agreement, which agreements may include this Agreement, and that, on the basis of such an examination, conducted substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, such firm is of the opinion that the Master Servicer’s servicing has been conducted in
compliance with the agreements examined pursuant to this Section 3.14, except for (i) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial,(ii) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement and (iii) such exceptions that the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers requires it to report. Copies of such statements shall be provided to any Certificateholder upon request by the Master Servicer or by the Trustee at the Master Servicer’s expense if the Master Servicer failed to provide such copies (unless (i) the Master Servicer shall have failed to provide the Trustee with such statement or (ii) the Trustee shall be unaware of the Master Servicer’s failure to provide such statement).



	
            Section 3.15
 	
            Books and Records.  
 



The Master Servicer shall be responsible for maintaining, and shall maintain, a complete set of books and records for the Mortgage Loans which shall be appropriately identified in the 


 









 


Master Servicer’s computer system to clearly reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loans by the Trust.  In particular, the Master Servicer shall maintain in its possession, available for inspection by the Trustee and shall deliver to the Trustee upon demand, evidence of compliance with all federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations. To the extent that original documents are not required for purposes of realization of Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, documents maintained by the Master Servicer may be in the form of microfilm or microfiche or such other reliable means of recreating original documents, including, but not limited to, optical imagery techniques so long as the Master Servicer complies with the requirements of Accepted Servicing Practices.


The Master Servicer shall maintain with respect to each Mortgage Loan and shall make available for inspection by the Trustee the related servicing file during the time such Mortgage Loan is subject to this Agreement and thereafter in accordance with applicable law.



	
            Section 3.16
 	
            Reports Filed with Securities and Exchange Commission.  
 



(a)        The Depositor shall prepare or cause to be prepared the initial current report on Form 8-K. Within 15 days after each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, in accordance with industry standards, file with the Commission via the Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System (“EDGAR”), a Form 8-K with a copy of the monthly statement to be furnished by the Trustee to the Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto.  Prior to January 30 in each year commencing in 2006, the Trustee shall, in accordance with industry standards, file a Form 15 Suspension Notice with respect to the Trust Fund, if applicable. Prior to (i) March 15, 2006 and (ii) unless and until a Form 15 Suspension Notice shall have been filed, prior to March 15 of each year thereafter, the Master Servicer shall provide the Trustee with a
Master Servicer Certification, together with a copy of the annual independent accountant’s servicing report and annual statement of compliance to be delivered by the Master Servicer pursuant to Sections 3.13 and 3.14. Prior to (i) March 31, 2006 and (ii) unless and until a Form 15 Suspension Notice shall have been filed, March 31 of each year thereafter, the Trustee shall, subject to subsection (d) below, file a Form 10-K, in substance conforming to industry standards, with respect to the Trust Fund. Such Form 10-K shall include the Master Servicer Certification and other documentation provided by the Master Servicer pursuant to the second preceding sentence and the Form 10-K certification signed by the Depositor. The Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a limited power of attorney to execute and file each such document on behalf of the Depositor. Such power of attorney shall continue until either the earlier of (i) receipt by the Trustee from the Depositor of written
termination of such power of attorney and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund. The Depositor agrees to promptly furnish to the Trustee, from time to time upon request, such further information, reports and financial statements within its control related to this Agreement, the Mortgage Loans as the Trustee reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the Commission. The Trustee shall have no responsibility to file any items other than those specified in this Section 3.16; provided, however, the Trustee will cooperate with the Depositor in connection with any additional filings with respect to the Trust Fund as the Depositor deems necessary under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Copies of all reports filed by the Trustee under the Exchange Act shall be sent to:  the Depositor c/o Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc., Attn:  Managing Director-Analysis and Control, One Metrotech Center North, Brooklyn, New York 11202
3859. 


 









 


Fees and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with this Section 3.16 shall not be reimbursable from the Trust Fund.


(b)        In connection with the filing of any 10-K hereunder, the Trustee shall sign a certification (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K) for the Depositor regarding certain aspects of the Form 10-K certification signed by the Depositor, provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be required to undertake an analysis of any accountant’s report attached as an exhibit to the Form 10-K.


(c)        The Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and its officers, directors and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the Trustee’s obligations under this Section 3.16 or the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.


The Depositor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and its officers, directors and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the obligations of the Depositor under this Section 3.16 or the Depositor’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.


The Master Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and the Depositor and their respective officers, directors and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the obligations of the Master Servicer under this Section 3.16 or the Master Servicer’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.


If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Depositor or the Trustee, as applicable, then the defaulting party, in connection with a breach of its respective obligations under this Section 3.16 or its respective negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith, agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the other parties as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the other party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault and the relative benefit of the Depositor on the one hand and the Trustee on the other.


(d)        Nothing shall be construed from the foregoing subsections (a), (b) and (c) to require the Trustee or any officer, director or Affiliate thereof to sign any Form 10 K or any certification contained therein.  Furthermore, the inability of the Trustee to file a Form 10 K as a result of the lack of required information as set forth in Section 3.16(a) or required signatures on such Form 10 K or any certification contained therein shall not be regarded as a breach by the Trustee of any obligation under this Agreement.


(e)        Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.01, this Section 3.16 may be amended without the consent of the Certificateholders.


 









 


 



	
            Section 3.17
 	
            UCC.  
 



The Trustee agrees to file continuation statements for any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements which EMC has informed the Trustee were filed on the Closing Date in connection with the Trust. EMC shall file any financing statements or amendments thereto required by any change in the Uniform Commercial Code.



	
            Section 3.18
 	
            Optional Purchase of Certain Mortgage Loans.  
 



With respect to any Mortgage Loans which as of the first day of a Fiscal Quarter is delinquent in payment by 90 days or more or is an REO Property, EMC shall have the right to purchase any Mortgage Loan from the Trust which becomes 90 days or more delinquent or becomes an REO Property at a price equal to the Purchase Price; provided however (i) that such Mortgage Loan is still 90 days or more delinquent or is an REO Property as of the date of such purchase and (ii) this purchase option, if not theretofore exercised, shall terminate on the date prior to the last day of the related Fiscal Quarter.  This purchase option, if not exercised, shall not be thereafter reinstated unless the delinquency is cured and the Mortgage Loan thereafter again becomes 90 days or more delinquent or becomes an REO Property, in which case the option shall again become exercisable as of the first day of the
related Fiscal Quarter.


In addition, EMC shall, at its option, purchase any Mortgage Loan from the Trust if the first Due Date for such Mortgage Loan is subsequent to the Cut-off Date and the initial Scheduled Payment is not made within thirty (30) days of such Due Date. Such purchase shall be made at a price equal to the Purchase Price. 


If at any time EMC remits to the Master Servicer a payment for deposit in the Protected Account covering the amount of the Purchase Price for such a Mortgage Loan, and EMC provides to the Trustee a certification signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the amount of such payment has been deposited in the Protected Account, then the Trustee shall execute the assignment of such Mortgage Loan prepared and delivered to the Trustee, at the request of EMC, without recourse, representation or warranty, to EMC which shall succeed to all the Trustee’s right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan, and all security and documents relative thereto.  Such assignment shall be an assignment outright and not for security.  EMC will thereupon own such Mortgage, and all such security and documents, free of any further obligation to the Trustee or the Certificateholders with respect thereto.


Section 3.19     Obligations of the Master Servicer in Respect of Mortgage Rates and Scheduled Payments.  


In the event that a shortfall in any collection on or liability with respect to any Mortgage Loan results from or is attributable to adjustments to Mortgage Rates, Scheduled Payments or 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 Trustee 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 Depositor and any successor Master Servicer in respect of any such liability. Such indemnities shall survive the termination or discharge of 


 









 


this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 3.19 shall not limit the ability of the Master Servicer to seek recovery of any such amounts from the related Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage, to the extent permitted by applicable law.



	
            Section 3.20
 	
            Reserve Fund; Payments to and from Swap Administrator.  
 



(a)        On or before the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish a Reserve Fund on behalf of the Holders of the Certificates.  On the Closing Date, the Depositor shall cause an amount equal to $5,000 to be deposited into the Reserve Fund.  The Reserve Fund must be an Eligible Account.  The Reserve Fund shall be entitled “Reserve Fund, LaSalle Bank National Association as Trustee for the benefit of holders of Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2005-AQ1”.  The Trustee shall deposit in the Reserve Fund all payments received from the Swap Administrator that are payable to the Trust Fund pursuant to the Swap Administration Agreement. On each Distribution Date the Trustee shall remit such amounts received from the Swap Administrator to the Holders of the Class A Certificates, Class M Certificates
and Class CE Certificates in the manner provided in clause (b) below.  In addition, on each Distribution Date as to which there is a Basis Risk Shortfall Carry Forward Amount payable to any Class of Class A Certificates and/or Class M Certificates, the Trustee shall deposit the amounts distributable pursuant to clauses (C) and (D) of Section 5.04(a)(4) into the Reserve Fund, and the Trustee has been directed by the Class CE Certificateholder to distribute such amounts to the Holders of the Class A and/or Class M Certificates in the amounts and priorities set forth in clauses (C) and (D) of Section 5.04(a)(4).  Any amount paid to the Holders of Class A Certificates and/or Class M Certificates pursuant to the preceding sentence in respect of Basis Risk Shortfall Carry Forward Amount shall be treated as distributed to the Class CE Certificateholder in respect of the Class CE Certificates and paid by the Class CE Certificateholder to the Holders of the Class A Certificates and/or Class M
Certificates.  Any payments to the Holders of the Class A Certificates and/or Class M Certificates in respect of Basis Risk Shortfall Carry Forward Amount, whether pursuant to the second preceding sentence or pursuant to subsection (b) below, shall not be payments with respect to a Regular Interest in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860(G)(a)(1).


(b)        Net Swap Payments and Swap Termination Payments (other than Swap Termination Payments resulting from a Swap Provider Trigger Event) payable by the Swap Administrator to the Swap Provider pursuant to the Swap Agreement shall be deducted from Interest Funds, and to the extent of any such remaining amounts due, from Principal Funds, prior to any distributions to the Certificateholders. On or before each Distribution Date, such amounts will be remitted to the Swap Administrator, first to make any Net Swap Payment owed to the Swap Provider pursuant to the Swap Agreement for such Distribution Date, and second to make any Swap Termination Payment (not due to a Swap Provider Trigger Event) owed to the Swap Provider pursuant to the Swap Agreement for such Distribution Date. For federal income tax purposes, such amounts paid to the Swap
Administrator on each Distribution Date shall first be deemed paid to the Swap Administrator in respect of REMIC VI Regular Interest IO to the extent of the amount distributable on such REMIC VI Regular Interest IO on such Distribution Date, and any remaining amount shall be deemed paid to the Swap Administrator in respect of  a Class IO Distribution Amount.  Any Swap Termination Payment triggered by a Swap Provider Trigger Event owed to the Swap Provider pursuant to the Swap Agreement will be subordinated to 


 









 


distributions to the Holders of the Offered Certificates and shall be paid as set forth under Section 5.04(a)(4).


(c)        On or before each Distribution Date, Net Swap Payments payable by the Swap Provider to the Swap Administrator pursuant to the Swap Agreement will be deposited by the Swap Administrator into the Swap Account pursuant to the Swap Administration Agreement.  The Swap Administrator shall, to the extent provided in the Swap Administration Agreement, remit amounts on deposit in the Swap Account to the Trustee for deposit into the Reserve Fund.  On each Distribution Date, to the extent required, the Trustee shall withdraw such amounts from the Reserve Fund to distribute to the Certificates in the following order of priority:


(i)         first, to each Class of Class A Certificates, on a pro rata basis, to pay Current Interest and any Interest Carry Forward Amount to the extent due to the interest portion of a Realized Loss, in each case to the extent not fully paid pursuant to Section 5.04(a)(1);


(ii)         second, sequentially to the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class M-7 and Class M-8 Certificates, in that order, to pay  Current Interest and any Interest Carry Forward Amount to the extent due to the interest portion of a Realized Loss, in each case to the extent not fully paid pursuant to Section 5.04(a)(1); 


(iii)        third, to pay first, to the Class A Certificates, on a pro rata basis, based on the amount of Basis Risk Shortfall Carry Forward Amount for each such class, and second, sequentially to the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class M-7 and Class M-8 Certificates, in that order, any Basis Risk Shortfall Carry Forward Amounts for such Distribution Date; and


(iv)        fourth, to pay as principal to the Class A Certificates and Class M Certificates as part of the Extra Principal Distribution Amount payable under Section 5.04(a)(2) until the Overcollateralization Target Amount has been reached, to the extent not paid from Excess Cashflow pursuant to Section 5.04(a)(2) for such Distribution Date. For the avoidance of doubt, any amounts distributable pursuant to this clause fourth shall be limited to rebuilding overcollateralization to the extent overcollateralization has been reduced through Realized Losses.  


(d)        The Reserve Fund is an “outside reserve fund” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h) and shall be an asset of the Trust Fund but not an asset of any REMIC.  The Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall be the nominal owner of the Reserve Fund.  The Class CE Certificateholder shall be the beneficial owner of the Reserve Fund, subject to the power of the Trustee to transfer amounts under Section 5.04.  Amounts in the Reserve Fund shall, at the direction of the Class CE Certificateholder, be invested in Permitted Investments that mature no later than the Business Day prior to the next succeeding Distribution Date.  All net income and gain from such investments shall be distributed to the Class CE Certificateholder, not as a distribution in respect of any interest in any REMIC, on such Distribution Date.  All
amounts earned on amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund shall be taxable to the Class CE Certificateholder.  Any losses on such investments shall be deposited in the Reserve Fund by the 


 









 


Class CE Certificateholder out of its own funds immediately as realized.  The Swap Account, which is created and maintained by the Swap Administrator pursuant to the Swap Administration Agreement, is an “outside reserve fund” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h) and shall not be an asset of any REMIC created hereunder.  The beneficial owner of the Swap Account is identified, and other matters relating to the Swap Account are addressed, in the Swap Administration Agreement.  


(e)        The Trustee shall treat the Holders of Certificates (other than the Class P, Class CE and Class R Certificates) as having entered into a notional principal contract with respect to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates.  Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all Holders of Certificates (other than the Class P, Class CE and Class R Certificates) shall be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the Holder of the Class CE Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount payable on such Distribution Date on the REMIC III Regular Interest corresponding to such Class of Certificates over (ii) the amount payable on such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such excess, a “Class IO Distribution Amount”).  A Class IO Distribution Amount payable from
interest collections shall be allocated pro rata among such Certificates based on the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Certificates, and a Class IO Distribution Amount payable from principal collections shall be allocated to the most subordinate Class of Certificates with an outstanding principal balance to the extent of such balance.  In addition, pursuant to such notional principal contract, the Holder of the Class CE Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay Basis Risk Shortfall Carry Forward Amounts to the Holders of the Certificates (other than the Class CE, Class P and Class R Certificates) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Any payments to the Certificates from amounts deemed received in respect of this notional principal contract shall not be payments with respect to a Regular Interest in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1).  However, any payment from the Certificates (other
than the Class CE, Class P and Class R Certificates) of a Class IO Distribution Amount shall be treated for tax purposes as having been received by the Holders of such Certificates in respect of their interests in REMIC III and as having been paid by such Holders to the Swap Administrator pursuant to the notional principal contract.  Thus, each Certificate (other than the Class P and Class R Certificates) shall be treated as representing not only ownership of Regular Interests in REMIC III, but also ownership of an interest in, and obligations with respect to, a notional principal contract.  



	
            Section 3.21
 	
            Advancing Facility.  
 



(a)        The Master Servicer and/or the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund, in either case, with the consent of the Master Servicer in the case of the Trustee and, in each case, with notice to the Rating Agencies, is hereby authorized to enter into a facility (the “Advancing Facility”) with any Person which provides that such Person (an “Advancing Person”) may fund Advances and/or Servicing Advances to the Trust Fund under this Agreement, although no such facility shall reduce or otherwise affect the Master Servicer’s obligation to fund such Advances and/or Servicing Advances.  If the Master Servicer enters into such an Advancing Facility pursuant to this Section 3.21, upon reasonable request of the Advancing Person, the Trustee shall execute a letter of acknowledgment, confirming its receipt of notice of the existence
of such Advancing Facility.  To the extent that an Advancing Person funds any Advance or any Servicing Advance and provides the Trustee with notice acknowledged by the Servicer that such Advancing Person 


 









 


is entitled to reimbursement, such Advancing Person shall be entitled to receive reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement for such amount to the extent provided in Section 3.21(b).  Such notice from the Advancing Person must specify the amount of the reimbursement, the Section of this Agreement that permits the applicable Advance or Servicing Advance to be reimbursed and the section(s) of the Advancing Facility that entitle the Advancing Person to request reimbursement from the Trustee, rather than the Master Servicer, and include the Master Servicer’s acknowledgment thereto or proof of an Event of Default under the Advancing Facility.  The Trustee shall have no duty or liability with respect to any calculation of any reimbursement to be paid to an Advancing Person and shall be entitled to rely without independent investigation on the Advancing Person’s notice provided pursuant to this Section
3.21. An Advancing Person whose obligations hereunder are limited to the funding of Advances and/or Servicing Advances shall not be required to meet the qualifications of a Master Servicer or a subservicer pursuant to Section 8.02 hereof and will not be deemed to be a subservicer under this Agreement.


(b)        If an Advancing Facility is entered into, then the Master Servicer shall not be permitted to reimburse itself therefor under Section 4.02(a)(ii), Section 4.02(a)(iii) and Section 4.02(a)(v) prior to the remittance to the Trust Fund, but instead the Master Servicer shall include such amounts in the applicable remittance to the Trustee made pursuant to Section 4.02.  The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay to the Advancing Person, reimbursements for Advances and Servicing Advances from the Distribution Account to the same extent the Master Servicer would have been permitted to reimburse itself for such Advances and/or Servicing Advances in accordance with Section 4.02(a)(ii), Section 4.02(a)(iii) or Section 4.02(a)(v), as the case may be, had the Master Servicer itself funded such Advance or Servicing Advance.  The Trustee is hereby
authorized to pay directly to the Advancing Person such portion of the Servicing Fee as the parties to any advancing facility agree.


(c)        All Advances and Servicing Advances made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed made and shall be reimbursed on a “first in-first out” (FIFO) basis.


(d)        Any amendment to this Section 3.21 or to any other provision of this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an Advancing Facility as described generally in this Section 3.21, including amendments to add provisions relating to a successor master servicer, may be entered into by the Trustee and the Master Servicer without the consent of any Certificateholder, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement. 



	
            Section 3.22
 	
            Special Servicer.  
 



On any Distribution Date on which (1) the servicer rating for the Master Servicer is downgraded by a full rating category from its rating as of the Closing Date by any of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch and (2) a Special Servicer Trigger is in effect for such Distribution Date, the Majority Class CE Certificateholder or its designee shall have the option to direct the Master Servicer to appoint a special servicer to service all of the Mortgage Loans that are 91 days or more Delinquent as of such Distribution Date (“Delinquent Loans”). In addition, on each of the next three Distribution Dates and for every Distribution Date occurring in the last month of each Fiscal Quarter thereafter, if a Special Servicing Trigger is in effect the Majority Class CE 


 









 


Certificateholder shall have the option to direct the Master Servicer to transfer any additional Delinquent Loans as of such Distribution Dates to the special servicer. 


 


The special servicer appointed at the direction of the Majority Class CE Certificateholder or its designee shall be rated in the two highest special servicer rankings by Moody’s and and such special servicer shall be rated in the two highest special servicer rankings by Fitch. Such special servicer shall be entitled to any Servicing Fees (including any related late payment charges) payable to the Master Servicer with respect to any Delinquent Loan the special servicer is servicing. . In the event that a special servicer is appointed, the Trustee shall provide prompt written notice to the Rating Agencies of such appointment.  The special servicer shall comply in all respects with, and shall service such Delinquent Loans in accordance with, this Agreement to the same extent that the Master Servicer is required to under this Agreement. The special servicer shall indemnify the Master
Servicer for any losses, liabilities or damages incurred by the Master Servicer as a result of the special servicer’s servicing of any Delinquent Loan and shall reimburse the Master Servicer for any and all Advances, out of pocket expenses and accrued Servicing Fees made with respect to such Delinquent Loans transferred to the special servicer.

ACCOUNTS



	
            Section 4.01
 	
            Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments; Protected Account.  
 



(a)        The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts in accordance with customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage lenders in the respective states in which the Mortgaged Properties are located to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any related Required Insurance Policy. Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge and (ii) extend the due dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period not greater than 125 days. In the event of any such arrangement, the Master Servicer shall make Advances on the related Mortgage Loan during the scheduled period in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage
Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements, and shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor in accordance with Section 5.01. The Master Servicer shall not be required to institute or join in litigation with respect to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage Note or otherwise or against any public or governmental authority with respect to a taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes that enforcing the provision of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which such payment is required is prohibited by applicable law. In addition, if (x) a Mortgage Loan is in default or default is imminent or (y) the Master Servicer delivers to the Trustee a certification addressed to the Trustee, based on the advice of counsel or certified public accountants, in either case, that have a national reputation with respect to taxation of REMICs, that a modification of such Mortgage Loan will not result in the imposition of taxes on or disqualify from
REMIC status any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV, REMIC V or REMIC VI, the Master Servicer may, (A) amend the related Mortgage Note to reduce the Mortgage Rate applicable thereto, provided that such reduced Mortgage Rate shall in no event be lower than 5.00% with respect to any Mortgage Loan and (B) amend any Mortgage Note to extend to the maturity thereof.


The Master Servicer shall not waive (or permit a sub-servicer to waive) any Prepayment Charge unless:  (i) the enforceability thereof shall have been limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally, (ii) the enforcement thereof is illegal, or any local, state or federal agency has threatened legal action if the prepayment penalty is enforced, (iii) the collectability thereof shall have been limited due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment or (iv) such waiver is standard and customary in servicing similar Mortgage Loans and relates to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan. If a
Prepayment Charge is waived, but does not meet the standards described above, then the Master Servicer is required to pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge, for the benefit of the Class P Certificates, by remitting such amount to the Trustee by the Distribution Account Deposit Date.


(b)        The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain a Protected Account (which shall at all times be an Eligible Account) with a depository institution in the name of the Master 


 









 


Servicer for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and designated “EMC Mortgage Corporation, as Master Servicer, for the benefit of LaSalle Bank National Association, in trust for registered holders of Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC, Asset-Backed Certificates Series 2005-AQ1”. The Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the Protected Account on a daily basis within one Business Day of receipt, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the following payments and collections remitted by subservicers or received by it in respect of the Mortgage Loans subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date) and the following amounts required to be deposited hereunder:


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


(ii)         all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans net of the Servicing Fee permitted under Section 3.10 and LPMI Fees, if any;


(iii)        all Liquidation Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and Insurance Proceeds, other than proceeds to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Master Servicer’s normal servicing procedures;


(iv)        any amount required to be deposited by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01(c) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments;


(v)        any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05;



	
            (vi)
 	
            any Prepayment Charges collected on the Mortgage Loans; and
 
	
            (vii)
 	
            any other amounts required to be deposited hereunder.
 	
             




The foregoing requirements for remittance by the Master Servicer into the Protected Account 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, if collected, need not be remitted by the Master Servicer.  In the event that the Master Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted and not otherwise subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.02, it may at any time withdraw or direct the institution maintaining the Protected Account, to withdraw such amount from the Protected Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.  Such withdrawal or direction may be accomplished by delivering written notice thereof to the institution maintaining the Protected Account, that describes the amounts deposited in error in the Protected Account. The Master
Servicer shall maintain adequate records with respect to all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section. All funds deposited in the Protected Account shall be held in trust for the Certificateholders until withdrawn in accordance with Section 4.02.


(c)        The institution that maintains the Protected Account shall invest the funds in the Protected Account, in the manner directed by the Master Servicer, in Permitted Investments which shall mature not later than the Remittance Date and shall not be sold or disposed of prior 


 









 


to its maturity. All such Permitted Investments shall be made in the name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders.  All income and gain net of any losses realized from any such investment shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer as servicing compensation and shall be remitted to it monthly as provided herein. The amount of any losses incurred in the Protected Account in respect of any such investments shall be deposited by the Master Servicer into the Protected Account, out of the Master Servicer’s own funds.


(d)        The Master Servicer shall give at least 30 days advance notice to the Trustee, the Seller, each Rating Agency and the Depositor of any proposed change of location of the Protected Account prior to any change thereof.



	
            Section 4.02
 	
            Permitted Withdrawals From the Protected Account.  
 



(a)        The Master Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the Protected Account for the following purposes:


(i)         to pay itself (to the extent not previously paid to or withheld by the Master Servicer), as servicing compensation in accordance with Section 3.10, that portion of any payment of interest that equals the Servicing Fee for the period with respect to which such interest payment was made, and, as additional servicing compensation, those other amounts set forth in Section 3.10;


(ii)         to reimburse the Master Servicer for Advances made by it with respect to the Mortgage Loans, provided, however, that the Master Servicer’s right of reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (ii) shall be limited to amounts received on particular Mortgage Loan(s) (including, for this purpose, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and Subsequent Recoveries) that represent late recoveries of payments of principal and/or interest on such particular Mortgage Loan(s) in respect of which any such Advance was made;


(iii)        to reimburse the Master Servicer for any previously made portion of a Servicing Advance or an Advance made by the Master Servicer that, in the good faith judgment of the Master Servicer, will not be ultimately recoverable by it from the related Mortgagor, any related Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or otherwise (a “Nonrecoverable Advance”), to the extent not reimbursed pursuant to clause (ii) or clause (v);


(iv)        to reimburse the Master Servicer from Insurance Proceeds for Insured Expenses covered by the related Insurance Policy;


(v)        to pay the Master Servicer any unpaid Servicing Fees and to reimburse it for any unreimbursed Servicing Advances, provided, however, that the Master Servicer’s right to reimbursement for Servicing Advances pursuant to this subclause (v) with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall be limited to amounts received on particular Mortgage Loan(s) (including, for this purpose, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and purchase and repurchase proceeds) that represent late recoveries of the payments for which such Servicing Advances were made;


 









 


(vi)        to pay to EMC in its capacity as Seller, with respect to each Mortgage Loan or property acquired in respect thereof that has been purchased pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.03 or 3.18 of this Agreement, all amounts received thereon and not taken into account in determining the related Stated Principal Balance of such repurchased Mortgage Loan;


(vii)       to pay any expenses recoverable by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.04 of this Agreement;


(viii)      to withdraw pursuant to Section 4.01 any amount deposited in the Protected Account and not required to be deposited therein; and


(ix)        to clear and terminate the Protected Account upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof.


In addition, no later than 10:00 a.m. Eastern time on the Distribution Account Deposit Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Protected Account and remit to the Trustee the amount of Interest Funds for each Loan Group (without taking into account any reduction in the amount of Interest Funds attributable to the application of clause (c) of the definition thereof contained in Article I of this Agreement) and Principal Funds for each Loan Group collected, to the extent on deposit, and the Trustee shall deposit such amount in the Distribution Account. In addition, on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date, the Master Servicer shall remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account any Advances or any payments of Compensating Interest required to be made by the Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Furthermore, on each Distribution Account Deposit
Date, the Master Servicer shall remit to the Trustee all Prepayment Charges collected by the Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans during the related Prepayment Period.


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 Protected Account pursuant to subclauses (i), (ii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) above. Prior to making any withdrawal from the Protected Account pursuant to subclause (iii), the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate of a Servicing Officer indicating the amount of any previous Advance or Servicing Advance determined by the Master Servicer to be a Nonrecoverable Advance and identifying the related Mortgage Loan(s), and their respective portions of such Nonrecoverable Advance.



	
            Section 4.03
 	
            Collection of Taxes; Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow Accounts.  
 



With respect to each Mortgage Loan, to the extent required by the related Mortgage Note, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (each, an “Escrow Account”) and deposit and retain therein all collections from the Mortgagors (or advances by the Master Servicer) for the payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums or comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors. Nothing herein shall require the Master Servicer to compel a Mortgagor to establish an Escrow Account in violation of applicable law.


Withdrawals of amounts so collected from the Escrow Accounts may be made only to effect timely payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, condominium or PUD 


 









 


association dues, or comparable items, to reimburse the Master Servicer out of related collections for any payments made with respect to each Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to taxes and assessments and insurance premiums) and Section 3.05 (with respect to hazard insurance), to refund to any Mortgagors for any Mortgage Loans any sums as may be determined to be overages, to pay interest, if required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note, to such Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account or to clear and terminate the Escrow Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.01 thereof. The Escrow Account shall not be a part of the Trust Fund.



	
            Section 4.04
 	
            Distribution Account.  
 



(a)        The Trustee shall establish and maintain in the name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Distribution Account as a segregated trust account or accounts.


(b)        All amounts deposited to the Distribution Account shall be held by the Trustee in the name of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.


(c)        The Distribution Account shall constitute an Eligible Account of the Trust Fund segregated on the books of the Trustee and held by the Trustee and the Distribution Account and the funds deposited therein shall not be subject to, and shall be protected from, all claims, liens, and encumbrances of any creditors or depositors of the Trustee (whether made directly, or indirectly through a liquidator or receiver of the Trustee).  The amount at any time credited to the Distribution Account may be invested in the name of the Trustee, in such Permitted Investments, or deposited in demand deposits with such depository institutions, as determined by the Trustee.  All Permitted Investments shall mature or be subject to redemption or withdrawal on or before, and shall be held until, the next succeeding Distribution Date if the obligor for such
Permitted Investment is the Trustee or, if such obligor is any other Person, the Business Day preceding such Distribution Date. All investment earnings on amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account or benefit from funds uninvested therein from time to time shall be for the account of the Trustee. The Trustee shall be permitted to withdraw or receive distribution of any and all investment earnings from the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date. If there is any loss on a Permitted Investment or demand deposit, the Trustee shall deposit the amount of the loss in the Distribution Account not later than the applicable Distribution Date on which the moneys so invested are required to be distributed to the Certificateholders. With respect to the Distribution Account and the funds deposited therein, the Trustee shall take such action as may be necessary to ensure that the Certificateholders shall be entitled to the priorities afforded to such a trust account (in addition to a
claim against the estate of the Trustee) as provided by 12 U.S.C. § 92a(e), and applicable regulations pursuant thereto, if applicable, or any applicable comparable state statute applicable to state chartered banking corporations.

(a)        The Trustee will make or cause to be made such withdrawals or transfers from the Distribution Account for the following purposes:


 









 


 



	
            (i)
 	
            to pay to itself the Trustee Fee;
 



(ii)         to reimburse the Trustee or the Swap Administrator for expenses, costs and liabilities incurred by or reimbursable to it pursuant to this Agreement;



	
            (iii)
 	
            to pay investment income to the Trustee;
 
	
            (iv)
 	
            to remove amounts deposited in error;
 	
             




(v)        to make distributions to the Swap Administrator for payment to the Swap Provider as provided in this Agreement; and



	
            (vi)
 	
            to clear and terminate the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 10.01.
 



(b)        On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute Interest Funds and Principal Funds in the Distribution Account for each Loan Group to the Holders of the Certificates in accordance with Section 5.04.



	
            Section 4.06
 	
            Class P Certificate Account.  
 



(a)        The Trustee shall establish and maintain in the name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Class P Certificateholders, the Class P Certificate Account as a segregated trust account or accounts.


(b)        On the Closing Date, the Depositor will deposit, or cause to be deposited in the Class P Certificate Account, an amount equal to $100.  All amounts deposited to the Class P Certificate Account shall be held by the Trustee in the name of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Class P Certificateholders in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.  The amount on deposit in the Class P Certificate Account shall be held uninvested.

DISTRIBUTIONS AND ADVANCES



	
            Section 5.01
 	
            Advances.  
 



The Master Servicer shall, or shall cause the related subservicer pursuant to the Subservicing Agreement to, make an Advance and deposit such Advance in the Protected Account. Each such Advance shall be remitted to the Distribution Account no later than 10:00 a.m. Eastern time on the Distribution Account Deposit Date in immediately available funds. The Master Servicer shall be obligated to make any such Advance only to the extent that such advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the Master Servicer shall have determined that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that a proposed Advance or a lesser portion of such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer shall deliver (i) to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders funds constituting the remaining portion of such Advance, if applicable, and (ii) to the Depositor, each Rating Agency
and the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the basis for such determination.  Subject to the Master Servicer’s recoverability determination, in the event that a subservicer fails to make a required Advance, the Master Servicer shall be required to remit the amount of such Advance to the Distribution Account.


In lieu of making all or a portion of such Advance from its own funds, the Master Servicer may (i) cause to be made an appropriate entry in its records relating to the Protected Account that any Amount Held for Future Distributions has been used by the Master Servicer in discharge of its obligation to make any such Advance and (ii) transfer such funds from the Protected Account to the Distribution Account.  Any funds so applied and transferred shall be replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Distribution Account, no later than the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution Date on which such funds are required to be distributed pursuant to this Agreement.


The Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Protected Account for all Advances of its own funds made pursuant to this Section as provided in Section 4.02. The obligation to make Advances with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall continue until such Mortgage Loan is paid in full or the related Mortgaged Property or related REO Property has been liquidated or until the purchase or repurchase thereof (or substitution therefor) from the Trust Fund pursuant to any applicable provision of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.01.


Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII hereof, in the event the Master Servicer fails to make such Advance, then the Trustee, as Successor Master Servicer, shall be obligated to make such Advance, subject to the provisions of this Section 5.01.



	
            Section 5.02
 	
            Compensating Interest Payments.  
 



In the event that there is a Prepayment Interest Shortfall arising from a voluntary Principal Prepayment in part or in full by the Mortgagor with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall, to the extent of the Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date, deposit into 


 









 


the Distribution Account, as a reduction of the Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date, no later than the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding such Distribution Date, an amount equal to the Prepayment Interest Shortfall; and in case of such deposit, the Master Servicer shall not be entitled to any recovery or reimbursement from the Depositor, the Trustee, the Seller, the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders.

(3)        Notwithstanding the provisions of clauses (2)(A) and (B) above, if on any Distribution Date the Class A Certificates related to a Loan Group are no longer outstanding, the pro rata portion of the Principal Distribution Amount or the applicable Class A Principal Distribution Amount, as applicable, otherwise allocable to such Class A Certificates will be allocated among the remaining group or groups of Class A Certificates pro rata and among the Classes of each such certificate group in the same manner and order of priority described above; and


(4)        Any Excess Cashflow shall be distributed in the following manner and order of priority:


(A)              from any remaining Excess Cashflow, to the Class A Certificates, (a) first, any remaining Interest Carry Forward Amount for such Classes, pro rata, in accordance with the Interest Carry Forward Amount due with respect to each such Class, to the extent not fully paid pursuant to clauses (1) (A) and (B) above and Section 3.20(c) and (b) second, any Unpaid Realized Loss Amount for such Classes for such Distribution Date, pro rata, in accordance with the Applied Realized Loss Amount allocated to each such Class;


(B)              from any remaining Excess Cashflow, sequentially, to the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class M-7 and Class M-8 Certificates, in that order, an amount equal to the Interest Carry Forward Amount for each such Class for such Distribution Date to the extent not fully paid pursuant to Section 3.20(c);


(C)              from any remaining Excess Cashflow otherwise distributable to the Class CE Interest and the Class CE Certificates, to the Reserve Fund to pay to the Class I-A Certificates and Class II-A Certificates, any Basis Risk Shortfall Carry Forward Amount for each such Class for such Distribution Date, on a pro rata basis, based on the amount of the Basis Risk Shortfall Carry Forward Amount for each such Class and to the extent not paid pursuant to Section 3.20(c);


(D)              from any remaining Excess Cashflow otherwise distributable to the Class CE Interest and the Class CE Certificates, to the Reserve Fund to pay to the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class M-7 and Class M-8 Certificates, sequentially in that order, any Basis Risk Shortfall Carry Forward Amount for each such Class for such Distribution Date, if any, in each case to the extent not paid pursuant to Section 3.20(c);


 









 


(E)              from any remaining Excess Cashflow, to the Class A Certificates, on a pro rata basis, based on the entitlement of each such Class, and then sequentially to the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class M-7 and Class M-8 Certificates, in that order, the amount of Relief Act Shortfalls and any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls allocated to such Classes of Certificates, to the extent not previously reimbursed;


(F)              from any remaining Excess Cashflow, to the Swap Administrator for payment to the Swap Provider, any Swap Termination Payments due to a Swap Provider Trigger Event owed by the Trust Fund;


(G)              from any remaining Excess Cashflow, to the Class CE Interest and Class CE Certificates, an amount equal to the Class CE Distribution Amount reduced by amounts distributed in clauses (C) and (D) above; and


(H)              any remaining amounts to each of the Class R-1, Class R-2, Class R-3 and Class RX Certificates, based on the related REMIC in which such amounts remain.


On each Distribution Date, all amounts in respect of Prepayment Charges shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class P Interest and the Class P Certificates, provided that such distributions shall not be in reduction of the principal balance thereof.  On the Distribution Date immediately following the expiration of the latest Prepayment Charge term as identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, any amount on deposit in the Class P Certificate Account will be distributed to the Holders of the Class P Interest and the Class P Certificates in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance thereof.


In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, on any Distribution Date after the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balance of a Class of Class A Certificates or Class M Certificates has been reduced to zero, that Class of Certificates will be retired and will no longer be entitled to distributions, including distributions in respect of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls or Basis Risk Shortfall Carry Forward Amounts.


(b)        In addition to the foregoing distributions, with respect to any Subsequent Recoveries, the Master Servicer shall deposit such funds into the Protected Account pursuant to Section 4.01(b)(iii). If, after taking into account such Subsequent Recoveries, the amount of a Realized Loss is reduced, the amount of such Subsequent Recoveries will be applied to increase the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates with the highest payment priority to which Realized Losses have been allocated, but not by more than the amount of Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 5.05; provided, however, to the extent that no reductions to a Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates currently exists as the result of a prior allocation of a Realized Loss, such Subsequent Recoveries
will be applied as Excess Spread. The amount of any remaining Subsequent Recoveries will be applied to increase the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates with the next highest payment priority, up to the amount of such Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 5.05, and so on. Holders of such Certificates will not be 


 









 


entitled to any payment in respect of Current Interest on the amount of such increases for any Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on which such increase occurs. Any such increases shall be applied to the Certificate Principal Balance of each Certificate of such Class in accordance with its respective Percentage Interest.


(c)        Subject to Section 10.02 hereof respecting the final distribution, on each Distribution Date the Trustee shall make distributions to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Holder has so notified the Trustee at least 5 Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or, if not, by check mailed by first class mail to such Certificateholder at the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 10.02 hereof respecting the final distribution, distributions with respect to Certificates registered in the name of a Depository shall be made to such Depository in immediately available funds.


(d)        On or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the fifth Business Day immediately preceding each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall deliver a report to the Trustee in electronic form (or by such other means as the Master Servicer and the Trustee may agree from time to time) containing such data and information, as agreed to by the Master Servicer and the Trustee such as to permit the Trustee to prepare the Monthly Statement to Certificateholders and to make the required distributions for the related Distribution Date.



	
            Section 5.05
 	
            Allocation of Realized Losses.  
 



(a)        All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any REMIC II Regular Interest pursuant to Section 5.05(c) on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date as follows:  first, to Excess Spread as part of the payment in respect of the Extra Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date; second, to the Class CE Interest and Class CE Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance or Uncertificated Principal Balance thereof, as applicable,  has been reduced to zero; third, to the Class M-8 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the Class M-7 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fifth, to the Class M-6 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been
reduced to zero; sixth, to the Class M-5 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; seventh, to the Class M-4 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; eighth, to the Class M-3 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; ninth, to the Class M-2 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; tenth, to the Class M-1 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; eleventh, to the related Class or Classes of Class A Certificates, on a pro rata basis, until the Certificate Principal Balances thereof have been reduced to zero; and twelfth, to the unrelated Class or Classes of Class A Certificates, on a pro rata basis, until the Certificate Principal Balances thereof have been reduced
to zero; provided, however, any such Realized Losses otherwise allocable to the Class II-A-1 Certificates shall be allocated first to the Class II-A-2 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, and then to the Class II-A-1 Certificates.  All Realized Losses to be allocated to the Certificate Principal Balances of all Classes on any Distribution Date shall be so allocated after the actual distributions to be made on 


 









 


such date as provided above. All references above to the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates shall be to the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class immediately prior to the relevant Distribution Date, before reduction thereof by any Realized Losses, in each case to be allocated to such Class of Certificates, on such Distribution Date.


(b)        Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Class of Certificates on any Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance thereof by the amount so allocated; any allocation of Realized Losses to a Class CE Interest and Class CE Certificates shall be made by reducing the amount otherwise payable in respect thereof pursuant to clause (G) of Section 5.04(a)(4). No allocations of any Realized Losses shall be made to the Certificate Principal Balance or Uncertificated Principal Balance, as applicable, of the Class P Interest and the Class P Certificates.


Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such allocation of any Realized Loss shall be made on a Distribution Date to any Class of Certificates to the extent that such allocation would result in the reduction of the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of all the Certificates as of such Distribution Date, after giving effect to all distributions and prior allocations of Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans on such date, to an amount less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all of the Mortgage Loans as of the first day of the month of such Distribution Date (such limitation, the “Loss Allocation Limitation”).  In addition in no event will the Certificate Principal Balance of any Certificate be reduced more than once in respect of any particular amount both (i) allocable to such Certificate in respect of Realized Losses and (ii) payable as principal to the Holder of such
Certificate from Remaining Excess Spread.


As used herein, an allocation of a Realized Loss 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.


(c)        (i) All Realized Losses on the Group I Loans shall be allocated on each Distribution Date to REMIC I Regular Interest I-1-A through REMIC I Regular Interest I-60-B, starting with the lowest numerical denomination until such REMIC I Regular Interest has been reduced to zero, provided that, for REMIC I Regular Interests with the same numerical denomination, such Realized Losses shall be allocated pro rata between such REMIC I Regular Interests.  All Realized Losses on the Group II Loans shall be allocated on each Distribution Date to REMIC I Regular Interest II-1-A through REMIC I Regular Interest II-60-B, starting with the lowest numerical denomination until such REMIC I Regular Interest has been reduced to zero, provided that, for REMIC I Regular Interests with the same numerical
denomination, such Realized Losses shall be allocated pro rata between such REMIC I Regular Interests


(ii)         The REMIC II Marker Percentage of all Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans (without duplication of losses allocated pursuant to Section 1.02) shall be allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date to the following REMIC II Regular Interests in the specified percentages, as follows:  first, to Uncertificated Accrued Interest payable to 


 









 


the REMIC II Regular Interest AA and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the REMIC II Interest Loss Allocation Amount, 98.00% and 2.00%, respectively; second, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of the REMIC II Regular Interest AA and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the REMIC II Principal Loss Allocation Amount, 98.00% and 2.00%, respectively; third, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular Interest M-8 and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest M-8 has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular Interest M-7 and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the
Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest M-7 has been reduced to zero; fifth, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular Interest M-6 and REMIC I Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest M-6 has been reduced to zero; sixth, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular Interest M-5 and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest M-5 has been reduced to zero; seventh, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular Interest M-4 and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest M-4 has been reduced to zero; eighth, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances
of REMIC II Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular Interest M-3 and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00%, and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest M-3 has been reduced to zero; ninth, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular Interest M-2 and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest M-2 has been reduced to zero; tenth, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular Interest M-1 and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest M-1 has been reduced to zero; eleventh, with respect to any Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans, to the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest AA, 98.00%, to the Uncertificated Principal
Balances of the related REMIC II Regular Interests I-A-1, I-A-2, I-A-3, II-A-1 and II-A-2, 1.00% pro rata, and to the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ, 1.00%, until the Uncertificated Principal Balances of such REMIC II Regular Interests I-A-1, I-A-2, I-A-3, II-A-1 and II-A-2 have been reduced to zero; and twelfth, with respect to any Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans, to the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest AA, 98.00%, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of the unrelated REMIC II Regular Interests I-A-1, I-A-2, I-A-3, II-A-1 and II-A-2, 1.00% pro rata, and to the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ, 1.00%, until the Uncertificated Principal Balances of such REMIC II Regular Interests I-A-1, I-A-2, I-A-3, II-A-1 and II-A-2 have been reduced to zero; provided, however, any such Realized Losses
otherwise allocable to REMIC II Regular Interest II-A-1 shall be allocated first to REMIC II Regular Interest 


 









 


II-A-2, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, and then to REMIC II Regular Interest II-A-1.


(iii)        The REMIC II Sub WAC Allocation Percentage of all Realized Losses shall be applied after all distributions have been made on each Distribution Date first, so as to keep the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC II Regular Interest ending with the designation “B” equal to 0.01% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group; second, to each REMIC II Regular Interest ending with the designation “A” so that the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each such REMIC II Regular Interest is equal to 0.01% of the excess of (x) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group over (y) the current Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A Certificates related to such Loan Group (except that if any such excess is a
larger number than in the preceding distribution period, the least amount of Realized Losses shall be applied to such REMIC II Regular Interests such that the REMIC II Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained); and third, any remaining Realized Losses shall be allocated to REMIC II Regular Interest XX.



	
            Section 5.06
 	
            Monthly Statements to Certificateholders.  
 



(a)        Not later than each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall prepare and make available to each Holder of Certificates, the Master Servicer and the Depositor a statement setting forth for the Certificates:

Any inconsistencies or ambiguities in this Agreement or in the administration of this Agreement shall be resolved in a manner that preserves the validity of such REMIC elections. The assets of REMIC I shall include the Mortgage Loans and all interest owing in respect of and principal due thereon, the Distribution Account, the Protected Account, any REO Property, any proceeds of the foregoing and any other assets subject to this Agreement (other than the Reserve Fund, the Swap Agreement, the Swap Account and any rights or obligations in respect of the Swap Administration Agreement).

(ii)         to the extent of amounts remaining after the distributions made pursuant to clause (i) above, payments of principal shall be allocated as follows: to REMIC I Regular interests I-1-A through I-60-B starting with the lowest numerical denomination until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each such REMIC I Regular Interest is reduced to zero, provided that, for REMIC I Regular Interests with the same numerical 


 









 


denomination, such payments of principal shall be allocated pro rata between such REMIC I Regular Interests.  


(2)        On each Distribution Date, the following amounts, in the following order of priority, shall be distributed by REMIC I to REMIC II on account of REMIC I Regular Interests II-1-A through II-60-B or withdrawn from the Distribution Account and distributed to the Holders of the Class R-1 Certificates, as the case may be:

Required Overcollateralization Amount, by the lesser of (x) the amount of such difference and (y) the Maximum Uncertificated Accrued Interest Deferral Amount, and such amount will be payable to the Holders of REMIC II Regular Interest I-A-1, REMIC II Regular Interest I-A-2, REMIC II Regular Interest I-A-3, REMIC II Regular Interest II-A-1, REMIC II Regular Interest II-A-2, REMIC II Regular Interest M-1, REMIC II Regular Interest M-2, REMIC II Regular Interest M-3, REMIC II Regular Interest M-4, REMIC II Regular Interest M-5, REMIC II Regular Interest M-6, REMIC II Regular Interest M-7 and REMIC II Regular Interest M-8  in the same proportion as the Extra Principal Distribution Amount is allocated to the Corresponding Certificates, and the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ shall be increased by such amount;

(A)              98% of such remainder to the Holders of REMIC II Regular Interest AA, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC II Regular Interest is reduced to zero;


(B)              2% of such remainder, first, to the Holders of REMIC II Regular Interest I A-1, REMIC II Regular Interest I-A-2, REMIC II Regular Interest I-A-3, REMIC II Regular Interest II-A-1, REMIC II Regular Interest II-A-2, REMIC II Regular Interest M-1, REMIC II Regular Interest M-2, REMIC II Regular Interest M-3, REMIC II Regular Interest M-4, REMIC II Regular Interest M-5, REMIC II Regular Interest M-6, REMIC II Regular Interest M-7 and REMIC II Regular Interest M-8, in an aggregate amount equal to 1% of and in the same proportion as principal payments are allocated to the Corresponding Certificates, until the Uncertificated Principal Balances of such REMIC II Regular Interests are reduced to zero; and second, to the Holders of REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ, until the
Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC II Regular Interest is reduced to zero; then


(C)              any remaining amount to the Holders of the Class R-2  Certificates;


 









 


(v)        to the Holders of REMIC II Regular Interest 1A, REMIC II Regular Interest 1B, REMIC II Regular Interest 2A, REMIC II Regular Interest 2B and REMIC II Regular Interest XX, in an amount equal to the REMIC II Sub WAC Allocation Percentage of the remainder of the Interest Funds and Principal Funds for all Loan Groups for such Distribution Date after the distributions made pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, first, so as to keep the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC II Regular Interest ending with the designation “B” equal to 0.01% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group; second, to each REMIC II Regular Interest ending with the designation “A,” so that the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each such REMIC II Regular Interest is
equal to 0.01% of the excess of (x) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group over (y) the current Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A Certificates related to such Loan Group (except that if any such excess is a larger number than in the preceding distribution period, the least amount of principal shall be distributed to such REMIC II Regular Interests such that the REMIC II Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained); and third, any remaining amount to REMIC II Regular Interest XX; and


(vi)        to the Holders of REMIC II Regular Interest P, 100% of the amounts deemed distributed on REMIC I Regular Interest P.  


(d)        On each Distribution Date, an amount equal to the amounts distributed pursuant to Sections 5.04(a)(4)(C), (D) and (G) on such date shall be deemed distributed from REMIC III to REMIC IV in respect of the Class CE Distribution Amount distributable to the Class CE Interest.


(e)        On each Distribution Date, 100% of the amounts deemed distributed on REMIC II Regular Interest P shall be deemed distributed by REMIC III to REMIC V  in respect of the Class P Interest.


(f)         On each Distribution Date, 100% of the amounts deemed distributed on REMIC II Regular Interest IO shall be deemed distributed by REMIC III to REMIC VI in respect of the Class IO Interest.

The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such authentication and delivery. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate the countersignature of the Trustee by manual signature, and such countersignature upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly countersigned and delivered
hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their countersignature. On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall authenticate the Certificates to be issued at the written direction of the Depositor, or any affiliate thereof.


The Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee on a continuous basis, an adequate inventory of Certificates to facilitate transfers.


 









 


Section 6.02     Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.  


(a)        The Trustee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.09 hereof, a Certificate Register for the Trust Fund in which, subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) below and to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of Transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. Upon surrender for registration of Transfer of any Certificate, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class and of like aggregate Percentage Interest.


At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate, and deliver the Certificates that the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of Transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of Transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.


No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any registration of Transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any Transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required.


All Certificates surrendered for registration of Transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with the Trustee’s customary procedures.


(b)        Subject to Subsection 6.07 and, in the case of any Global Certificate or Private Certificate upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of the Trustee maintained for such purpose, the Trustee shall sign, countersign and shall deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, a new Certificate of a like Class and aggregate Percentage Interest, but bearing a different number.


(c)        Subject to Subsection 6.02(g), so long as a Global Certificate of such Class is outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Depository, transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Certificate, or transfers by Holders of Individual Certificates of such Class to transferees that take delivery in the form of beneficial interests in the Global Certificate, may be made only in accordance with this Subsection 6.02(c) and in accordance with the rules of the Depository:


(i)         In the case of a beneficial interest in the Global Certificate being transferred to an Institutional Accredited Investor, such transferee shall be required to take delivery in the form of an Individual Certificate or Certificates and the Trustee shall register such transfer only upon compliance with the provisions of Subsection 6.02(h).


 









 


(ii)         In the case of a beneficial interest in a Class of Global Certificates being transferred to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of an Individual Certificate or Certificates of such Class, except as set forth in clause (i) above, the Trustee shall register such transfer only upon compliance with the provisions of Subsection 6.02(h).


(iii)        In the case of an Individual Certificate of a Class being transferred to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate of such Class, the Trustee shall register such transfer if the transferee has provided the Trustee with a Rule 144A and Related Matters Certificate or comparable evidence as to its QIB status.


(iv)        No restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer or registration of transfer of a beneficial interest in the Global Certificate of a Class to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the Global Certificate of such Class; provided that each such transferee shall be deemed to have made such representations and warranties contained in the Rule 144A and Related Matters Certificate as are sufficient to establish that it is a QIB.


(d)        Subject to Subsection 6.02(g), an exchange of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate of a Class for an Individual Certificate or Certificates of such Class, an exchange of an Individual Certificate or Certificates of a Class for a beneficial interest in the Global Certificate of such Class and an exchange of an Individual Certificate or Certificates of a Class for another Individual Certificate or Certificates of such Class (in each case, whether or not such exchange is made in anticipation of subsequent transfer, and, in the case of the Global Certificate of such Class, so long as such Certificate is outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Depository) may be made only in accordance with this Subsection 6.02(d) and in accordance with the rules of the Depository:


(i)         A Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate of a Class may at any time exchange such beneficial interest for an Individual Certificate or Certificates of such Class.


(ii)         A Holder of an Individual Certificate or Certificates of a Class may exchange such Certificate or Certificates for a beneficial interest in the Global Certificate of such Class if such holder furnishes to the Trustee a Rule 144A and Related Matters Certificate or comparable evidence as to its QIB status.


(iii)        A Holder of an Individual Certificate of a Class may exchange such Certificate for an equal aggregate principal amount of Individual Certificates of such Class in different authorized denominations without any certification.


(e)        (i)         Upon acceptance for exchange or transfer of an Individual Certificate of a Class for a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate of such Class as provided herein, the Trustee shall cancel such Individual Certificate and shall (or shall request the Depository to) endorse on the schedule affixed to the applicable Global Certificate (or on a continuation of such schedule affixed to the Global Certificate and made a part thereof) or otherwise make in its books and records an appropriate notation evidencing the date of such exchange or transfer and 


 









 


an increase in the certificate balance of the Global Certificate equal to the certificate balance of such Individual Certificate exchanged or transferred therefor.


(ii)         Upon acceptance for exchange or transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate of a Class for an Individual Certificate of such Class as provided herein, the Trustee shall (or shall request the Depository to) endorse on the schedule affixed to such Global Certificate (or on a continuation of such schedule affixed to such Global Certificate and made a part thereof) or otherwise make in its books and records an appropriate notation evidencing the date of such exchange or transfer and a decrease in the certificate balance of such Global Certificate equal to the certificate balance of such Individual Certificate issued in exchange therefor or upon transfer thereof.


(f)         Any Individual Certificate issued in exchange for or upon transfer of another Individual Certificate or of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate shall bear the applicable legends set forth in Exhibit A-2.


(g)        Subject to the restrictions on transfer and exchange set forth in this Section 6.02, the Holder of any Individual Certificate may transfer or exchange the same in whole or in part (in an initial certificate balance equal to the minimum authorized denomination set forth in Section 6.01 above or any integral multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof) by surrendering such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office, or at the office of any transfer agent, together with an executed instrument of assignment and transfer satisfactory in form and substance to the Trustee in the case of transfer and a written request for exchange in the case of exchange. The Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate may, subject to the rules and procedures of the Depository, cause the Depository (or its nominee) to notify the Trustee in writing of a
request for transfer or exchange of such beneficial interest for an Individual Certificate or Certificates. Following a proper request for transfer or exchange, the Trustee shall, within five Business Days of such request made at the Corporate Trust Office, sign, countersign and deliver at the Corporate Trust Office, to the transferee (in the case of transfer) or Holder (in the case of exchange) or send by first class mail at the risk of the transferee (in the case of transfer) or Holder (in the case of exchange) to such address as the transferee or Holder, as applicable, may request, an Individual Certificate or Certificates, as the case may require, for a like aggregate Percentage Interest and in such authorized denomination or denominations as may be requested. The presentation for transfer or exchange of any Individual Certificate shall not be valid unless made at the Corporate Trust Office by the registered Holder in person, or by a duly authorized attorney-in-fact.


(h)        No Transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such Transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act and such state securities laws. In the event that a Transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such Transfer and such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee shall each certify to the Trustee in writing the facts surrounding the Transfer by (x)(i) the delivery to the Trustee by the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer of a certificate substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit D (the
“Transferor Certificate”) and (ii) the delivery by the Certificateholder’s prospective transferee of (A) a letter 


 









 


in substantially the form of Exhibit E (the “Investment Letter”) if the prospective transferee is an Institutional Accredited Investor or (B) a letter in substantially the form of Exhibit F (the “Rule 144A and Related Matters Certificate”) if the prospective transferee is a QIB or (y) there shall be delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee that such Transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Sellers, the Master Servicer or the Trustee. Notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, no restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer or registration of transfer of a beneficial interest in any Certificate that is a Global Certificate of a Class to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the Global
Certificate of such Class provided that each such transferee shall be deemed to have made such representations and warranties contained in the Rule 144A and Related Matters Certificate as are sufficient to establish that it is a QIB.  The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Private Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any such Holder, information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for Transfer of any such Certificate without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Trustee and the Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Depositor in providing the Rule 144A information referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to the Depositor such information regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and other matters regarding the Trust Fund as
the Depositor shall reasonably request to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to effect such Transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Sellers 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.


Prior to the termination of the Swap Agreement, no Transfer of a Class A Certificate or Class M Certificate (other than a Class M-7 Certificate or Class M-8 Certificate) shall be made unless either (i) the Trustee and the Master Servicer shall have received a representation from the transferee of such Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Master Servicer, to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code (either a “Plan”), or a Person acting on behalf of a Plan or using the assets a Plan, or (ii) the transferee provides a representation, or is deemed to represent in the case of the Global Certificate that the proposed transfer or holding of such Certificate are eligible for exemptive relief under an individual or class prohibited
transaction exemption, including, but not limited to, Prohibited Transaction Exemption (“PTE”) 84-14, PTE 91-38, PTE 90-1, PTE 95-60 or PTE 96-23.


Subsequent to the termination of the Swap Agreement, each beneficial owner of a Class M Certificate (other than a Class M-7 Certificate or Class M-8 Certificate) or any interest therein shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of that certificate or interest therein, that either (i) it is not a Plan or investing with “Plan Assets”, (ii) it has acquired and is holding such certificate in reliance on the Exemption, and that it understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of the Exemption, including that the certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than “BBB-” (or its equivalent) by S&P, Fitch or Moody’s, and the certificate is so rated or (iii) (1) it is an insurance company, (2) the source of funds used to acquire or hold the certificate or interest therein is an “insurance company general 


 









 


account,” as such term is defined in PTE 95-60, and (3) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTE 95-60 have been satisfied.


Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer will be required to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with the transfer restrictions with respect to the Global Certificates. Any attempted or purported transfer of any Certificate in violation of the provisions of Subsections (a) or (b) above shall be void ab initio and such Certificate shall be considered to have been held continuously by the prior permitted Certificateholder. Any transferor of any Certificate in violation of such provisions, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and the Master Servicer from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by the Trustee or the Master Servicer as a result of such attempted or purported transfer. The Trustee shall have no liability for transfer of any such Global Certificates in or through book-entry facilities of any Depository or between or among
Depository Participants or Certificate Owners made in violation of the transfer restrictions set forth herein.


No Transfer of a Class CE, Class P, Residual, Class M-7 or Class M-8 Certificate shall be made unless either (i) the transferee of such Certificate provides a representation, or is deemed to represent in the case of a Global Certificate, to the Trustee and the Master Servicer acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Master Servicer, to the effect that such transferee is not a Plan, or a Person acting on behalf of a Plan or using the assets of a Plan, or (ii) in the case of any such Certificate presented for registration in the name of a Plan, or a trustee of a Plan or any other person acting on behalf of a Plan, the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel for the benefit of the Trustee and the Master Servicer and on which they may rely, satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect that the purchase and holding of such Certificate are permissible
under applicable law, will not result in any prohibited transactions under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Depositor to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Depositor, or (iii) in the case of a Class M-7 Certificate or Class M-8 Certificate, the transferee provides a representation, or is deemed to represent in the case of the Global Certificate, or an opinion of counsel to the effect that the proposed transfer or holding of such Class M-7 Certificate or Class M-8 Certificate and the servicing, management and operation of the Trust and its assets:  (I) will not result in any prohibited transaction which is not covered under PTE 84-14, PTE 91-38, PTE 90-1, PTE 95-60 or PTE 96-23 and (II) will not give rise to any obligation on the part of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee in
addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate to or on behalf of a Plan without the delivery of the Opinion of Counsel as described above shall be void and of no effect; provided that the restriction set forth in this sentence shall not be applicable if there has been delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel meeting the requirements of clause (ii) of the first sentence of this paragraph. Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall be required to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with the transfer restrictions with respect to any ERISA Restricted Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate, and neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall have any liability for transfers of any such Book-Entry Certificates made through the book-entry facilities of any Depository or between or among participants of the Depository or Certificate Owners
made in violation of the transfer restrictions set forth herein. Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to any Person for any registration of 


 









 


transfer of any ERISA Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 6.02(h) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement.  The Trustee shall be entitled, but not obligated, to recover from any Holder of any ERISA Restricted Certificate that was in fact a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of a Plan at the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became a Plan or Person acting on behalf of a Plan, all payments made on such ERISA Restricted Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and delivered by the Trustee to the last preceding Holder of such Certificate that is not a Plan or Person acting on behalf of a Plan.


(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 the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:


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


(ii)         No Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be registered on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the Trustee shall not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate unless, in addition to the certificates required to be delivered to the Trustee under subparagraph (b) above, the Trustee shall have been furnished with an affidavit (a “Transfer Affidavit”) of the initial owner or the proposed transferee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.


(iii)        Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any Person for whom such Person is acting as nominee, trustee or agent in connection with any Transfer of a Residual Certificate and (C) not to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate or to cause the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any other Person if it has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee.


(iv)        Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 6.02(i) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 6.02(i), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by Section 6.02(h) and this Section 6.02(i) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action
with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit. The Trustee shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from 


 









 


any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became other than a Permitted Transferee, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and delivered by the Trustee to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such Certificate.


(v)        The Master Servicer shall make available within 60 days of written request from the Trustee, all information necessary to compute any tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of a Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Holder who is not a Permitted Transferee.


The restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in this Section 6.02(i) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the legend on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers occurring after delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Sellers or the Master Servicer to the effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not cause REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV, REMIC V or REMIC VI, as applicable, to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding or result in the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, a Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate hereby consents to any amendment of this Agreement that, based on an Opinion of
Counsel addressed to the Trustee and furnished to the Trustee, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the record ownership of, or any beneficial interest in, a Residual Certificate is not transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and (b) to provide for a means to compel the Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is held by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.


(j)         The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions referred to above in this Section 6.02 shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Sellers or the Master Servicer.



	
            Section 6.03
 	
            Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.  
 



If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and of the ownership thereof and (b) there is delivered to the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 6.03, the Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including
the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time. All Certificates surrendered to the 


 









 


Trustee under the terms of this Section 6.03 shall be canceled and destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with its standard procedures without liability on its part.



	
            Section 6.04
 	
            Persons Deemed Owners.  
 



The Trustee and any agent of the Trustee may treat the person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee nor any agent of the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.



	
            Section 6.05
 	
            Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses.  
 



If three or more Certificateholders (a) request such information in writing from the Trustee, (b) state that such Certificateholders desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates, and (c) provide a copy of the communication that such Certificateholders propose to transmit or if the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall request such information in writing from the Trustee, then the Trustee shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt of such request, provide the Depositor, the Master Servicer or such Certificateholders at such recipients’ expense the most recent list of the Certificateholders of the Trust Fund held by the Trustee, if any. The Depositor and every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agree that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of the
disclosure of any such information as to the list of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.



	
            Section 6.06
 	
            Book-Entry Certificates.  
 



The Regular Certificates (other than the Class M-7, Class M-8, Class CE and Class P Certificates), upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of one or more typewritten Certificates representing the Book-Entry Certificates, to be delivered to the Depository by or on behalf of the Depositor. Such Certificates shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of the Depository or its nominee, and no Certificate Owner of such Certificates will receive a definitive certificate representing such Certificate Owner’s interest in such Certificates, except as provided in Section 6.08. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Certificates (“Definitive Certificates”) have been issued to the Certificate Owners of such Certificates pursuant to Section 6.08:



	
            (a)
 	
            the provisions of this Section shall be in full force and effect;
 



(b)        the Depositor and the Trustee may deal with the Depository and the Depository Participants for all purposes (including the making of distributions) as the authorized representative of the respective Certificate Owners of such Certificates;


(c)        registration of the Book-Entry Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository;


(d)        the rights of the respective Certificate Owners of such Certificates shall be exercised only through the Depository and the Depository Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between the Owners of such Certificates and the 


 









 


Depository and/or the Depository Participants. Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 6.08, the Depository will make book-entry transfers among the Depository Participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest on the related Certificates to such Depository Participants;


(e)        the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants;


(f)         the Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants; and


(g)        to the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section shall control.


For purposes of any provision of this Agreement requiring or permitting actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Certificateholders evidencing a specified percentage of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of any Class of Certificates, such direction or consent may be given by Certificate Owners (acting through the Depository and the Depository Participants) owning Book-Entry Certificates evidencing the requisite percentage of principal amount of such Class of Certificates.


The Private Certificates shall initially be held in fully registered certificated form. If at any time the Holders of all of the Certificates of one or more such Classes request that the Trustee cause such Class to become Global Certificates, the Depositor (with the assistance of the Trustee) will take such action as may be reasonably required to cause the Depository to accept such Class or Classes for trading if it may legally be so traded. If at anytime there are to be Global Certificates, the Global Certificates shall be delivered to the Depository by the Depositor or deposited with the Trustee as custodian for the Depository.


All transfers by Certificate Owners of such respective Classes of Book-Entry Certificates and any Global Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owners. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s normal procedures.



	
            Section 6.07
 	
            Notices to Depository.  
 



Whenever any notice or other communication is required to be given to Certificateholders of a Class with respect to which Book-Entry Certificates have been issued, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to the related Certificate Owners, the Trustee shall give all such notices and communications to the Depository.



	
            Section 6.08
 	
            Definitive Certificates.  
 



If, after Book-Entry Certificates have been issued with respect to any Certificates, (a) the Depositor or the Depository advises the Trustee that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities under the Depository Agreement with respect to such 


 









 


Certificates and the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor or (b) the Depositor, at its sole option, advises the Trustee that it elects to terminate the book-entry system with respect to such Certificates through the Depository, then the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners of such Certificates, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to applicable Certificate Owners requesting the same.  The Depositor shall provide the Trustee with an adequate inventory of certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive Certificates. Upon surrender to the Trustee of any such Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall countersign and deliver such Definitive Certificates. Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee shall be liable for
any delay in delivery of such instructions and each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.


In addition, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Certificate Owner materially adversely affected thereby may at its option request a Definitive Certificate evidencing such Certificate Owner’s Voting Rights in the related Class of Certificates.  In order to make such request, such Certificate Owner shall, subject to the rules and procedures of the Depository, provide the Depository or the related Depository Participant with directions for the Trustee to exchange or cause the exchange of the Certificate Owner’s interest in such Class of Certificates for an equivalent Voting Right in fully registered definitive form.  Upon receipt by the Trustee of instructions from the Depository directing the Trustee to effect such exchange (such instructions to contain information regarding the Class of Certificates and the Certificate Principal Balance being exchanged,
the Depository Participant account to be debited with the decrease, the registered Holder of and delivery instructions for the definitive Certificate, and any other information reasonably required by the Trustee), (i) the Trustee shall instruct the Depository to reduce the related Depository Participant’s account by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the definitive Certificate, (ii) the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in accordance with the registration and delivery instructions provided by the Depository, a definitive Certificate evidencing such Certificate Owner’s Voting Rights in such Class of Certificates and (iii) the Trustee shall execute and authenticate a new Book-Entry Certificate reflecting the reduction in the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class of Certificates by the amount of the definitive Certificates.



	
            Section 6.09
 	
            Maintenance of Office or Agency.  
 



The Trustee will maintain or cause to be maintained at its expense an office or offices or agency or agencies at the Corporate Trust Office where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Trustee initially designates its Corporate Trust Office, as the office for such purposes. The Trustee will give prompt written notice to the Certificateholders of any change in such location of any such office or agency.

(a)        Neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor and the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Indemnified Persons, the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for taking any action or for refraining from taking 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 or representations made herein or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of such Person’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder.

In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom (expect any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder) shall be expenses, costs and 


 









 


liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Protected Account as provided by Section 4.02. Nothing in this Subsection 7.04(d) shall affect the Master Servicer’s obligation to service and administer the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article III.


(e)        In taking or recommending any course of action pursuant to this Agreement, unless specifically required to do so pursuant to this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be required to investigate or make recommendations concerning potential liabilities which the Trust might incur as a result of such course of action by reason of the condition of the Mortgaged Properties but shall give notice to the Trustee if it has notice of such potential liabilities.


Section 7.05     Master Servicer Not to Resign.  Except as provided in Section 7.07, the Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (i) with the prior consent of the Trustee (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld) or (ii) upon a determination that any such duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such impermissibility cannot be cured. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to and delivered to, the Trustee.  No such resignation by the Master Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor to the Master Servicer reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Master Servicer
in accordance with Section 8.02 hereof. The Trustee shall notify the Rating Agencies of the resignation of the Master Servicer.


Section 7.06     Successor Master Servicer.  In connection with the appointment of any successor Master Servicer or the assumption of the duties of the Master Servicer, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor master servicer out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as the Trustee and such successor master servicer shall agree. If the successor master servicer does not agree that such market value is a fair price, such successor master servicer shall obtain two quotations of market value from third parties actively engaged in the servicing of single family mortgage loans.  In no event shall the compensation of any successor master servicer exceed that permitted the Master Servicer hereunder without the consent of all of the Certificateholders.


Section 7.07     Sale and Assignment of Master Servicing.  The Master Servicer may sell and assign its rights and delegate its duties and obligations in its entirety as Master Servicer under this Agreement; provided, however, that:  (i) the purchaser or transferee accepting such assignment and delegation (a) shall be a Person which shall be qualified to service mortgage loans for Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac; (b) shall have a net worth of not less than $10,000,000 (unless otherwise approved by each Rating Agency pursuant to clause (ii) below); (c) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (as evidenced in a writing signed by the Trustee); and (d) shall execute and deliver to the Trustee an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, which contains an assumption by such Person of the
due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by it as master servicer under this Agreement, any custodial agreement from and after the effective date of such agreement; (ii) each Rating Agency shall be given prior written notice of the identity of the proposed successor to the Master Servicer and each Rating Agency’s rating of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment, sale and delegation will not be 


 









 


downgraded, qualified or withdrawn as a result of such assignment, sale and delegation, as evidenced by a letter to such effect delivered to the Master Servicer, the Trustee; and (iii) the Master Servicer assigning and selling the master servicing shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee, each stating that all conditions precedent to such action under this Agreement have been completed and such action is permitted by and complies with the terms of this Agreement. No such assignment or delegation shall affect any liability of the Master Servicer arising prior to the effective date thereof.

DEFAULT; TERMINATION OF MASTER SERVICER



	
            Section 8.01
 	
            Events of Default.  
 



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


(i)         any failure by the Master Servicer to remit to the Trustee any amounts received or collected by the Master Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans and required to be remitted by it hereunder (other than any Advance), which failure shall continue unremedied for one Business Day after the date on which written notice of such failure shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor, or to the Trustee and the Master Servicer by the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates;


(ii)         any failure by the Master Servicer to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Master Servicer contained in this Agreement or any breach of a representation or warranty by the Master Servicer, which failure or breach shall continue unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure shall have been given to Master Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor, or to the Trustee and the Master Servicer by the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates;


(iii)        a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Master Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive days;


(iv)        the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a 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 all or substantially all of the property of the Master Servicer;


(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, or commence a voluntary case under, any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations;


(vi)        the Master Servicer assigns or delegates its duties or rights under this Agreement in contravention of the provisions permitting such assignment or delegation under Sections 7.05 or 7.07; or


 









 


(vii)       The Master Servicer fails to deposit, or cause to be deposited, in the Distribution Account any Advance (other than a Nonrecoverable Advance) by 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Distribution Account Deposit Date.


If an Event of Default shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, and at the direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates, the Trustee shall in the case of any Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (vii) above, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer (with a copy to each Rating Agency), 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, other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer hereunder, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the
Trustee, or any successor appointed pursuant to Section 8.02 (a “Successor Master Servicer”).  Such Successor Master Servicer shall thereupon if such Successor Master Servicer is a successor to the Master Servicer, make any Advance required by Article V, subject, in the case of the Trustee, to Section 8.02. The Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the terminated Master Servicer, as attorney- in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of any Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. Unless expressly provided in such written notice, no such termination shall affect any obligation of the Master Servicer to pay amounts owed pursuant to Article VII or Article IX. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with the
Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the applicable Successor Master Servicer of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited to the Protected Account maintained pursuant to Section 4.02, or thereafter be received with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loans. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies of the occurrence of an Event of Default known to the Trustee.


Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of the Master Servicer hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any late collection of a Scheduled Payment on a Mortgage Loan that was due prior to the notice terminating the Master Servicer’s rights and obligations as Master Servicer hereunder and received after such notice, that portion thereof to which the Master Servicer would have been entitled pursuant to Sections 4.02 and to receive any other amounts payable to the Master Servicer hereunder the entitlement to which arose prior to the termination of its activities hereunder.


Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default described in clause (vii) of this Section 8.01 shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer, which may be delivered by telecopy, immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer thereafter arising under this Agreement, but without prejudice to any rights it may have as a Certificateholder or to reimbursement of Advances and other advances of its own funds, and the Trustee shall act as provided in Section 8.02 to carry out the duties of the Master Servicer, including the obligation to make any Advance the nonpayment of which was an Event 


 









 


of Default described in clause (vii) of this Section 8.01. Any such action taken by the Trustee must be prior to the distribution on the relevant Distribution Date.



	
            Section 8.02
 	
            Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.  
 



On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof the Trustee shall automatically become the successor to the Master Servicer with respect to the transactions set forth or provided for herein and after a transition period (not to exceed 90 days), shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however that, pursuant to Article V hereof, the Trustee in its capacity as successor Master Servicer shall be responsible for making any Advances required to be made by the Master Servicer immediately upon the termination of the Master Servicer and any such Advance shall be made on the Distribution Date on which such Advance was required to be made by the predecessor Master Servicer. Effective on the date of such notice of
termination, as compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all compensation, reimbursement of expenses and indemnification that the Master Servicer would have been entitled to if it had continued to act hereunder, provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be (i) liable for any acts or omissions of the Master Servicer, (ii) obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from doing so under applicable law, (iii) responsible for expenses of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 2.03 or (iv) obligated to deposit losses on any Permitted Investment directed by the Master Servicer.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law from making Advances pursuant to Article V or if it is otherwise unable to so act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution the appointment of which does not adversely affect the then
current rating of the Certificates by each Rating Agency as the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder. Any Successor Master Servicer shall (i) be an institution that is a Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac approved seller/servicer in good standing, that has a net worth of at least $15,000,000, (ii) be acceptable to the Trustee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and (iii) be willing to act as successor servicer of any Mortgage Loans under this Agreement, and shall have executed and delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement accepting such delegation and assignment, that contains an assumption by such Person of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Master Servicer (other than any liabilities of the Master Servicer hereof incurred prior to termination of the Master Servicer under Section 8.01 or as
otherwise set forth herein), with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement, provided that each Rating Agency shall have acknowledged in writing that its rating of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will not be qualified or reduced as a result of such assignment and delegation. If the Trustee assumes the duties and responsibilities of the Master Servicer in accordance with this Section 8.02, the Trustee shall not resign as Master Servicer until a Successor Master Servicer has been appointed and has accepted such appointment. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans or otherwise as it and such successor shall
agree; provided that no such compensation unless agreed to by the Certificateholders shall be in excess of that permitted the 


 









 


Master Servicer hereunder. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Neither the Trustee nor any other Successor Master Servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof or any failure to perform, or any delay in performing, any duties or responsibilities hereunder, in either case caused by the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or providing, any cash, information, documents or records to it.


The costs and expenses of the Trustee in connection with the termination of the Master Servicer, appointment of a Successor Master Servicer and, if applicable, any transfer of servicing, including, without limitation, all costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the Trustee to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the Trustee or the Successor Master Servicer to service the related Mortgage Loans properly and effectively, to the extent not paid by the terminated Master Servicer, shall be payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.05. Any successor to the Master Servicer as successor servicer under any Subservicing Agreement shall give notice to the applicable Mortgagors of such change of servicer and shall, during
the term of its service as successor servicer maintain in force the policy or policies that the Master Servicer is required to maintain pursuant to Section 3.08.



	
            Section 8.03
 	
            Notification to Certificateholders.  
 



(a)        Upon any termination of or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders and to each Rating Agency.


(b)        Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders notice of each such Event of Default hereunder actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.



	
            Section 8.04
 	
            Waiver of Defaults.  
 



The Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders, within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured, notice of each such Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee. The Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of the Voting Rights may, on behalf of all Certificateholders, waive any default by the Master Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and the consequences thereof, except a default in the making of or the causing to be made of any required distribution on the Certificates. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall be deemed to cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been timely remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived. The Trustee shall give notice of any such waiver to the Rating Agencies.


 









 


ARTICLE IX


 


CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE



	
            Section 9.01
 	
            Duties of Trustee.  
 



(a)        The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement as duties of the Trustee. If an Event of Default has occurred and has not been cured or waived, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs.


(b)        Upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments which are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall examine them to determine whether they are in the form required by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Master Servicer; provided, further, that the Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or verification of any calculation provided to it pursuant to this Agreement.


(c)        On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall make monthly distributions and the final distribution to the Certificateholders from funds in the Distribution Account as provided in Sections 5.04 and 10.01 herein.


(d)        No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:


(i)         Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the curing or waiver of all such Events of Default which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of their respective duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;


(ii)         The Trustee shall not be liable in its individual capacity for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;


 









 


(iii)        The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the directions of the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates (or such other percentage as specifically set forth herein), if such action or non-action relates to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or other power conferred upon the Trustee under this Agreement;


(iv)        The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge thereof. In the absence of such knowledge, the Trustee may conclusively assume there is no such default or Event of Default;


(v)        The Trustee shall not in any way be liable by reason of any insufficiency in any Account held by or in the name of Trustee unless it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a non-appealable judgment that the Trustee’s negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of such insufficiency (except to the extent that the Trustee is obligor and has defaulted thereon);


(vi)        Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action; and


(vii)       None of the Master Servicer, the Seller, the Depositor or the Trustee shall be responsible for the acts or omissions of the other, it being understood that this Agreement shall not be construed to render them partners, joint venturers or agents of one another.


The Trustee shall not 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, 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, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer.


(e)        All funds received by the Trustee and required to be deposited in the Distribution Account pursuant to this Agreement will be promptly so deposited by the Trustee.



	
            Section 9.02
 	
            Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.  
 	
             

	
            (a)
 	
            Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.01:
 
				



(i)         The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting in reliance on any resolution or certificate of the Seller or the Master Servicer, any certificates of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;


 









 


(ii)         The Trustee may consult with counsel and any advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection with respect to any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;


(iii)        The Trustee shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement, other than its obligation to give notices pursuant to this Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby. Nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge (which has not been cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights
and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs;


(iv)        The Trustee shall not be liable in its individual capacity for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;


(v)        The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates and provided that the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement. The Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability as a condition to taking any such action. The reasonable expense
of every such examination shall be paid by the Certificateholders requesting the investigation;


(vi)        The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or through Affiliates, agents or attorneys; provided, however, that the Trustee may not appoint any paying agent to perform any paying agent functions under this Agreement without the express written consent of the Master Servicer, which consents will not be unreasonably withheld. The Trustee shall not be liable or responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any of the Trustee’s agents or attorneys or paying agent appointed hereunder by the Trustee with due care and, when required, with the consent of the Master Servicer;


(vii)       Should the Trustee deem the nature of any action required on its part to be unclear, the Trustee may require prior to such action that it be provided by the Depositor with reasonable further instructions; the right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall 


 









 


not be accountable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of any such act;


(viii)      The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety with respect to the execution of the trust created hereby or the powers granted hereunder, except as provided in Subsection 9.07; and


(ix)        The Trustee shall not have any duty to conduct any affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase of any Mortgage Loan by any Person pursuant to this Agreement, or the eligibility of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of this Agreement.


(b)        The Trustee is hereby directed by the Depositor to execute and deliver the Swap Administration Agreement. Amounts payable by the Trustee on any Distribution Date to the Swap Administrator shall be paid by the Trustee as provided herein. The Trustee in its individual capacity shall have no responsibility for any of the undertakings, agreements or representations with respect to the Swap Agreement or the Swap Administration Agreement, including, without limitation, for making any payments thereunder.


It is acknowledged and agreed that the Person serving as Trustee hereunder shall also serve as Swap Administrator under the Swap Administration Agreement and the Swap Agreement.  The Swap Administrator is hereby directed by the Depositor to execute and deliver the  Swap Administration Agreement and the Swap Agreement, and to make the representations required therein.  The Swap Administrator shall not have any liability for any failure or delay in payments to the Trust which are required under the Swap Administration Agreement where such failure or delay is due to the failure or delay of the Swap Provider in making such payment to the Swap Administrator.  The Swap Administrator shall be entitled to be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust from and against any and all losses, claims, expenses or other liabilities that arise by reason of or in connection with the performance or
observance by the Swap Administrator of its duties or obligations under the Swap Agreement or the Swap Administration Agreement, except to the extent that the same is due to the Swap Administrator’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud.  Any Person appointed as successor trustee pursuant to Section 9.09 shall also be required to serve as successor Swap Administrator under the Swap Agreement and the Swap Administration Agreement.



	
            Section 9.03
 	
            Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.  
 



The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the signature and countersignature of the Trustee on the Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor, and the Trustee shall not have any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates (other than the signature and countersignature of the Trustee on the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan except as expressly provided in Sections 2.02 and 2.06 hereof; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve the Trustee, or the Custodian on its behalf, of the obligation to review the Mortgage Files pursuant to Section 2.02 of this Agreement. The Trustee’s signature and countersignature (or countersignature of its agent) on the Certificates shall be solely in its capacity as Trustee and shall not constitute the
Certificates an obligation of the Trustee in any 


 









 


other capacity. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Depositor with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Subject to Section 2.06, the Trustee shall not be responsible for the legality or validity of this Agreement or any document or instrument relating to this Agreement, the validity of the execution of this Agreement or of any supplement hereto or instrument of further assurance, or the validity, priority, perfection or sufficiency of the security for the Certificates issued hereunder or intended to be issued hereunder. The Trustee shall not at any time have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of any Mortgage or any Mortgage Loan, or the perfection and priority of any Mortgage or the
maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Trust Fund or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to Certificateholders, under this Agreement. The Trustee shall not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder or to record this Agreement.



	
            Section 9.04
 	
            Trustee May Own Certificates.  
 



The Trustee in its individual capacity or in any capacity other than as Trustee hereunder may become the owner or pledgee of any Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee and may otherwise deal with the parties hereto.



	
            Section 9.05
 	
            Trustee’s Fees and Expenses.  
 



The Trustee will be entitled to recover from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 4.05, the Trustee Fee, all reasonable out of pocket expenses, disbursements and advances and the expenses of the Trustee in connection with any Event of Default (or anything related thereto, including any determination that an Event of Default does or does not exist), any breach of this Agreement or any claim or legal action (including any pending or threatened claim or legal action) incurred or made by the Trustee in the administration of the trusts hereunder (including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of its counsel) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or intentional misconduct or which is the responsibility of the Certificateholders hereunder. If funds in the Distribution Account are insufficient therefor, the Trustee shall
recover such expenses, disbursements or advances from the Depositor and the Depositor hereby agrees to pay such expenses, disbursements or advances. Such compensation and reimbursement obligation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust.



	
            Section 9.06
 	
            Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.  
 



The Trustee and any successor Trustee shall during the entire duration of this Agreement be a state bank or trust company or a national banking association organized and doing business under the laws of a state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus and undivided profits of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and rated “BBB” or higher by Fitch with respect to their long-term rating and rated “BBB” or higher by S&P and “Baa2” or higher by Moody’s with respect to any outstanding long-term unsecured 


 









 


unsubordinated debt, and, in the case of a successor Trustee other than pursuant to Section 9.10, rated in one of the two highest long-term debt categories by each Rating Agency (at least “AA-” in the case of S&P) or otherwise acceptable to, each of the Rating Agencies and have a short-term debt rating of at least “A-1” from S&P, or otherwise acceptable to, S&P. The Trustee shall not be an Affiliate of the Master Servicer. If the Trustee publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 9.06 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its total equity capital (combined capital and surplus) as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 9.08.



	
            Section 9.07
 	
            Insurance.  
 



The Trustee, at its own expense, shall at all times maintain and keep in full force and effect:  (i) fidelity insurance, (ii) theft of documents insurance and (iii) forgery insurance (which may be collectively satisfied by a “Financial Institution Bond” and/or a “Bankers’ Blanket Bond”); provided, that such insurance may be provided through self-insurance so long as the Trustee is rated “A” or better by S&P and “A1” or better by Moody’s. All such insurance shall be in amounts, with standard coverage and subject to deductibles, as are customary for insurance typically maintained by banks or their affiliates which act as custodians for investor-owned mortgage pools. A certificate of an officer of the Trustee as to the Trustee’s compliance with this Section 9.07 shall be furnished to any Certificateholder upon reasonable written request.



	
            Section 9.08
 	
            Resignation and Removal of Trustee.  
 



The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the Trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Seller and the Master Servicer, with a copy to the Rating Agencies. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to each of the resigning Trustee and the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.


If at any time (i) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.06 hereof and shall fail to resign after written request thereto by the Depositor, (ii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or (iii)(A) a tax is imposed with respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which the Trustee or the Trust Fund is located, (B) the imposition of such tax would be avoided by the appointment of a different trustee and (C) the Trustee fails to indemnify the Trust Fund against such tax, then the Depositor or the Master Servicer may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by
written instrument, in multiple copies, a copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the successor trustee.


 









 


The Holders evidencing at least 51% of the Voting Rights of each Class of Certificates may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument or instruments, in multiple copies, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered by the successor trustee to the Master Servicer, the Trustee so removed and the successor trustee so appointed. Notice of any removal of the Trustee shall be given to each Rating Agency by the Trustee or successor trustee.


Any resignation or removal of LaSalle Bank National Association as Trustee shall also result in the resignation or removal, as applicable, of LaSalle Bank National Association as Swap Administrator.  Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 9.08 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 9.09 hereof and upon acceptance of appointment by a successor swap administrator under the Swap Administration Agreement.



	
            Section 9.09
 	
            Successor Trustee.  
 



Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 9.08 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, to its predecessor trustee, the Master Servicer an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee herein.


No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 9.09 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 9.07 hereof and its appointment shall not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates.


Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 9.09, the successor trustee shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates.  If the successor trustee fails to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment, the Depositor shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Trust Fund.



	
            Section 9.10
 	
            Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.  
 



Any corporation, state bank or national banking association into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation, state bank or national banking association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation, state bank or national banking association succeeding to substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 9.06 hereof without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.


 









 


 



	
            Section 9.11
 	
            Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.  
 



Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the time be located, the Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any part thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 9.11, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master Servicer and the Trustee 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 the case an 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 9.06 and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 9.09.


Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:


(i)         All rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee, except for the obligation of the Trustee under this Agreement to advance funds on behalf of the Master Servicer, shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether a Trustee hereunder or as a Successor Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to
the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;


(ii)         No trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and


(iii)        The Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.


Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the 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 IX. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided 


 









 


therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Master Servicer and the Depositor.


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



	
            Section 9.12
 	
            Tax Matters.  
 



It is intended that the Trust Fund shall constitute, and that the affairs of the Trust Fund shall be conducted so that each REMIC formed hereunder qualifies as, a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” as defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the Trustee covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and the Trustee is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of the Trust Fund. The Trustee, as agent on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall do or refrain from doing, as applicable, the following:  (a) the Trustee shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, in a timely manner, U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit Income Tax Returns (Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by the Internal Revenue Service) and prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Internal Revenue Service and
applicable state or local tax authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year with respect to each such REMIC containing such information and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and furnish or cause to be furnished to Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such times and in such manner as may be required thereby; (b) the Trustee shall apply for an employer identification number with the Internal Revenue Service via a Form SS-4 or other comparable method for each REMIC that is or becomes a taxable entity, and within thirty days of the Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Internal Revenue Service, on Forms 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title, address, and telephone number of the Person that the Holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto, together with such additional information as may be
required by such Form, and update such information at the time or times in the manner required by the Code for the Trust Fund; (c) the Trustee shall make or cause to be made elections, on behalf of each REMIC formed hereunder to be treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return of such REMIC for its first taxable year (and, if necessary, under applicable state law); (d) the Trustee shall prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders and to the Internal Revenue Service and, if necessary, state tax authorities, all information returns and reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation, the calculation of any original issue discount using the Prepayment Assumption; (e) the Trustee shall provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed on the Transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or an agent (including a broker,
nominee or other middleman) of a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through entity in which a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee is the record Holder of an interest (the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information 


 









 


may be charged to the Person liable for such tax); (f) the Trustee shall, to the extent under its control, conduct the affairs of the Trust Fund at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status of each REMIC formed hereunder as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions; (g) the Trustee shall not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of any REMIC formed hereunder; (h) the Trustee shall pay, from the sources specified in the penultimate paragraph of this Section 9.12, the amount of any federal, state and local taxes, including prohibited transaction taxes as described below, imposed on any REMIC formed hereunder prior to the termination of the Trust Fund when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Trustee or any other appropriate Person from contesting any
such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Trustee from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); (i) the Trustee shall maintain records relating to each REMIC formed hereunder including but not limited to the income, expenses, assets and liabilities of each such REMIC and adjusted basis of the Trust Fund property determined at such intervals as may be required by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information; (j) the Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to the REMICs on a calendar year and on an accrual basis; (k) the Trustee shall not enter into any arrangement not otherwise provided for in this Agreement by which the REMICs will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit the REMICs 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; and (l) as and when necessary and appropriate, the Trustee, at the expense of the Trust Fund, shall represent the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of any REMIC formed hereunder, enter into settlement agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any tax item of the Trust Fund, and otherwise act on behalf of each REMIC formed hereunder in relation to any tax matter involving any such REMIC.


In order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee within 10 days after the Closing Date all information or data that the Trustee requests in writing and determines to be relevant for tax purposes to the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flows of the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide to the Trustee promptly upon written request therefor, any such additional information or data that the Trustee may, from time to time, request in order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth herein. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the Trustee for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Trustee arising from any errors or
miscalculations of the Trustee that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Trustee on a timely basis.


In the event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV, REMIC V or REMIC VI as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net income from foreclosure property” of the Trust Fund as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV, REMIC V or REMIC VI after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or 


 









 


any other tax is imposed, including, without limitation, any federal, state or local tax or minimum tax imposed upon any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV, REMIC V or REMIC VI, and is not paid as otherwise provided for herein, such tax shall be paid by (i) the Trustee, if any such other tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) any party hereto (other than the Trustee) to the extent any such other tax arises out of or results from a breach by such other party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or (iii) in all other cases, or in the event that any liable party hereto fails to honor its obligations under the preceding clauses (i) or (ii), any such tax will be paid first with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Class R Certificateholders, and second with amounts otherwise to be distributed to all other
Certificateholders in the following order of priority:  first, to the Class M-8 Certificates, second, to the Class M-7 Certificates, third, to the Class M-6 Certificates, fourth, to the Class M-5 Certificates, fifth, to the Class M-4 Certificates, sixth, to the Class M-3 Certificates, seventh, to the Class M-2 Certificates, eighth, to the Class M-1 Certificates, and ninth, to the Class A Certificates (pro rata based on the amounts to be distributed). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that such tax is payable by the Holder of any Certificates, the Trustee is hereby authorized to retain on any Distribution Date, from the Holders of the Class R Certificates (and, if necessary, second, from the Holders of the other Certificates in the priority specified in the preceding sentence), funds otherwise distributable to such Holders in an amount sufficient to pay such tax. The Trustee shall promptly notify in
writing the party liable for any such tax of the amount thereof and the due date for the payment thereof.


The Trustee agrees that, in the event it should obtain any information necessary for the other party to perform its obligations pursuant to this Section 9.12, it will promptly notify and provide such information to such other party.

            Section 10.01
 	
            Termination upon Liquidation or Repurchase of all Mortgage Loans.  
 



Subject to Section 10.03, the obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee created hereby with respect to the Trust Fund shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the purchase by the Majority Class CE Certificateholder (or its designee) or the Master Servicer, as applicable, of all of the Mortgage Loans (and REO Properties) remaining in the Trust Fund at a price (the “Mortgage Loan Purchase Price”) equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan (other than in respect of REO Property), (ii) accrued interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate to, but not including, the first day of the month of such purchase, (iii) the appraised value of any REO Property in the Trust Fund (up to the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan), such appraisal to be conducted by an appraiser
mutually agreed upon by the Master Servicer and the Trustee, (iv) unreimbursed out-of pocket costs of the Master Servicer, including unreimbursed servicing advances and the principal portion of any unreimbursed Advances, made on the Mortgage Loans prior to the exercise of such repurchase right, (v) any unreimbursed costs and expenses of the Trustee payable pursuant to Section 9.05, (vi) any Swap Termination Payment payable to the Swap Provider which remains unpaid or which is due to the exercise of such option and (b) the later of (i) the maturity or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO Property and (ii) the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to this Agreement, as applicable. In no event shall the trusts created hereby continue beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the
descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof and (ii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date.


The right to repurchase all Mortgage Loans and REO Properties by the Majority Class CE Certificateholder pursuant to clause (a) in the preceding paragraph shall be conditioned upon the Stated Principal Balance of all of the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund, at the time of any such repurchase, aggregating 10% or less of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of all of the Mortgage Loans. If the Majority Class CE Certificateholder does not exercise this option, the Master Servicer has the right to repurchase all Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to clause (a) in the preceding paragraph, conditioned upon the Stated Principal Balance of all of the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund, at the time of any such repurchase, aggregating 5% or less of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of all of the Mortgage Loans.



	
            Section 10.02
 	
            Final Distribution on the Certificates.  
 



If on any Determination Date, (i) the Master Servicer determines that there are no Outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund other than the funds in the Protected Account, the Master Servicer shall direct the Trustee to send a final distribution notice promptly to each Certificateholder or (ii) the Trustee determines that a Class of Certificates shall be retired after a final distribution on such Class, the Trustee shall notify the Certificateholders within five (5) Business Days after such Determination Date that the final 


 









 


distribution in retirement of such Class of Certificates is scheduled to be made on the immediately following Distribution Date. Any final distribution made pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence will be made only upon presentation and surrender of the related Certificates at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. If the Majority Class CE Certificateholder or the Master Servicer, as applicable, elects to terminate the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 10.01, at least 20 days prior to the date notice is to be mailed to the Certificateholders, the Majority Class CE Certificateholder or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee of the date the Majority Class CE Certificateholder or the Master Servicer, as applicable, intends to terminate the Trust Fund. The Master Servicer shall remit the Mortgage Loan Purchase Price to the Trustee on the Business Day prior to the
Distribution Date for such Optional Termination by the Majority Class CE Certificateholder or the Master Servicer, as applicable.


Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund, specifying the Distribution Date on which Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed not later than two Business Days after the Determination Date in the month of such final distribution. Any such notice shall specify (a) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office therein designated, (b) the amount of such final distribution, (c) the location of the office or agency at which such presentation and surrender must be made and (d) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the
office therein specified. The Trustee will give such notice to each Rating Agency at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders.


In the event such notice is given, the Master Servicer shall cause all funds in the Protected Account to be remitted to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account on the Business Day prior to the applicable Distribution Date in an amount equal to the final distribution in respect of the Certificates. Upon such final deposit with respect to the Trust Fund and the receipt by the Trustee of a Request for Release therefor, the Trustee or the Custodian shall promptly release to EMC as applicable the Mortgage Files for the Mortgage Loans and the Trustee shall execute and deliver any documents prepared and delivered to it which are necessary to transfer any REO Property.


Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall cause to be distributed to Certificateholders of each Class the amounts allocable to such Certificates held in the Distribution Account in the order and priority set forth in Section 5.04 hereof on the final Distribution Date and in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.


In the event that any affected Certificateholders shall not surrender Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within six months after the second notice all the applicable Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets that remain a part of the Trust 


 









 


Fund. If within one year after the second notice all Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Class R Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets of the Trust Fund that remain subject hereto.



	
            Section 10.03
 	
            Additional Termination Requirements.  
 



(a)        Upon exercise by the Majority Class CE Certificateholder or the Master Servicer, as applicable, of its purchase option as provided in Section 10.01, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee has been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee, at the expense of the Majority Class CE Certificateholder or the Master Servicer, as applicable, to the effect that the failure of the Trust Fund to comply with the requirements of this Section 10.03 will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of a REMIC, or (ii) cause a REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:


(1)        The Majority Class CE Certificateholder or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall establish a 90-day liquidation period and notify the Trustee thereof, and the Trustee shall in turn specify the first day of such period in a statement attached to the tax return for each of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV, REMIC V and REMIC VI pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.860F-1. The Majority Class CE Certificateholder or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall satisfy all the requirements of a qualified liquidation under Section 860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel obtained at the expense of the Majority Class CE Certificateholder or the Master Servicer, as applicable;


(2)        During such 90-day liquidation period, and at or prior to the time of making the final payment on the Certificates, the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV, REMIC V and REMIC VI for cash; and


(3)        At the time of the making of the final payment on the Certificates, the Trustee shall distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited, to the Holders of the Residual Certificates all cash on hand (other than cash retained to meet claims), and REMIC I shall terminate at that time.


(b)        By their acceptance of the Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby authorize the adoption of a 90-day liquidation period and the adoption of a plan of complete liquidation for REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV, REMIC V and REMIC VI, which authorization shall be binding upon all successor Certificateholders.


(c)        The Trustee as agent for each REMIC hereby agrees to adopt and sign such a plan of complete liquidation meeting the requirements for a qualified liquidation under Section 860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder upon the written request of the Majority Class CE Certificateholder or the Master Servicer, as applicable, and the receipt of the Opinion of Counsel referred to in Section 10.03(a)(1) and to take such other action in connection therewith as may be 


 









 


reasonably requested by the Majority Class CE Certificateholder or the Master Servicer, as applicable.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS



	
            Section 11.01
 	
            Amendment.  
 



This Agreement may be amended from time to time by parties hereto without the consent of any of the Certificateholders to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions herein (including to give effect to the expectations of investors), to change the manner in which the Protected Account is maintained or to make such other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement as shall not be inconsistent with any other provisions herein if such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder; provided that any such amendment shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Certificateholders and no such Opinion of Counsel shall be required if the Person requesting such amendment obtains a letter from each
Rating Agency stating that such amendment would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the Certificates.


Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the Certificateholders, the parties hereto may at any time and from time to time amend this Agreement to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or appropriate to maintain the qualification of any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV, REMIC V or REMIC VI as a REMIC under the Code or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV, REMIC V or REMIC VI pursuant to the Code that would be a claim against any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV, REMIC V or REMIC VI at any time prior to the final redemption of the Certificates, provided that the Trustee has been provided an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee, which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting such opinion but in any case shall not be an
expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such action is necessary or appropriate to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of such a tax.


This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties hereto with the consent of the Holders of each Class of Certificates affected thereby evidencing over 50% of the Voting Rights of such Class or Classes for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Swap Administrator or the Holders of Certificates; provided that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) cause any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV, REMIC V or REMIC VI to cease to qualify as a REMIC or (iii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Certificates of each Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such
amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding.


Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee, which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting such 


 









 


amendment but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee, to the effect that such amendment will not (other than an amendment pursuant to clause (ii) of, and in accordance with, the preceding paragraph) cause the imposition of any tax on any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV, REMIC V or REMIC VI or the Certificateholders or cause any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV, REMIC V or REMIC VI to cease to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. Further, nothing in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to enter into an amendment without receiving an Opinion of Counsel, satisfactory to the Trustee that (i) such amendment is permitted and is not prohibited by this Agreement and that all requirements for amending this Agreement (including any consent of the applicable Certificateholders) have been complied with.


Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 11.01, none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall enter into any amendment to Section 3.20 or Section 5.04(a)(4)(F) of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Swap Provider.


Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement requiring the consent of Certificateholders, the Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Certificateholder and each Rating Agency.


It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.



	
            Section 11.02
 	
            Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.  
 



To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all of the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the Mortgaged Properties are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere. The Master Servicer shall effect such recordation at the Trust’s expense upon the request in writing of a Certificateholder, but only if such direction is accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (provided at the expense of the Certificateholder requesting recordation) to the effect that such recordation would materially and beneficially affect the interests of the Certificateholders or is required by law.


For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

            Governing Law.  
 



THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THE CERTIFICATEHOLDERS SHALL BE DETERMINED IN 


 









 


ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAWS).



	
            Section 11.04
 	
            Intention of Parties.  
 



It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Notes, Mortgages, assignments of Mortgages, title insurance policies and any modifications, extensions and/or assumption agreements and private mortgage insurance policies relating to the Mortgage Loans by the Sellers to the Depositor, and by the Depositor to the Trustee be, and be construed as, an absolute sale thereof to the Depositor or the Trustee, as applicable. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge thereof by the Seller to the Depositor, or by the Depositor to the Trustee. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, such assets are held to be the property of the Sellers or the Depositor, as applicable, or if for any other reason the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security
interest in such assets, then (i) the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement shall each be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York and (ii) the conveyance provided for in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement from the Sellers to the Depositor, and the conveyance provided for in this Agreement from the Depositor to the Trustee, shall be deemed to be an assignment and a grant by the Sellers or the Depositor, as applicable, for the benefit of the Certificateholders of a security interest in all of the assets that constitute the Trust Fund, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.


The Depositor for the benefit of the Certificateholders 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 assets of the Trust Fund, 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 the Agreement.



	
            Section 11.05
 	
            Notices.

(iv)        The repurchase or substitution of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Sections 2.02, 2.03, 3.18 and 10.01; and

Any notice delivered to EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding), the Master Servicer or the Trustee under this Agreement shall be effective only upon receipt. Any notice required or permitted to be mailed to a Certificateholder, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, at the address of such Certificateholder as shown in the Certificate Register; any notice so mailed within the time prescribed in this Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Certificateholder receives such notice.



	
            Section 11.06
 	
            Severability of Provisions.  
 



If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement or of the Certificates or the rights of the Holders thereof.

            Section 11.08
 	
            Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.  
 



The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust Fund, nor entitle such Certificateholder’s legal representative or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or commence any proceeding in any court for a petition or winding up of the Trust Fund, or otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.


No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as provided herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth or contained in the terms of the Certificates be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members 


 









 


of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third party by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.


No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing itself of any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates shall also have made written request to the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses, and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have neglected
or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself or themselves of any provisions of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of the Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 11.08, each and every Certificateholder or the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Any out-of-pocket expense incident to the exercise by the
Depositor or the Trustee of any right under this Section 11.09 shall be borne by the party requesting such inspection, subject to such party’s right to reimbursement hereunder (in the case of the Trustee, pursuant to Section 9.05 hereof.



	
            Section 11.10

ASSET-BACKED CERTIFICATE


SERIES 2005-AQ1


evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the distributions allocable to the Class [I-A-1][I-A-2][I-A-3][II-A-1][II-A-2] Certificates with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of conventional, closed-end, first lien, one- to four-family fixed and adjustable interest rate mortgage loans sold by BEAR STEARNS ASSET BACKED SECURITIES I LLC.


This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC, the Master Servicer or the Trustee referred to below or any of their affiliates or any other person. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental entity or by Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC, the Master Servicer or the Trustee or any of their affiliates or any other person. None of Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC, the Master Servicer or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.


This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in a trust (the “Trust Fund”) generally consisting of conventional, closed-end first lien, fixed and adjustable rate mortgage loans secured by one- to four- family residences 


 









 


(collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) sold by Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC (“BSABS I”). The Mortgage Loans were sold by EMC Mortgage Corporation (“EMC”) and Master Funding LLC (“Master Funding LLC”) to BSABS I. EMC will act as master servicer of the Mortgage Loans (in that capacity, the “Master Servicer,” which term includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the “Agreement”), among BSABS I, as depositor (the “Depositor”), EMC Mortgage Corporation as seller and Master Servicer and LaSalle Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized
terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them 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 its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.


Interest on this Certificate will accrue from and including the immediately preceding Distribution Date (or with respect to the First Distribution Date, the Closing Date) to and including the day prior to the current Distribution Date on the Certificate Principal Balance hereof at a per annum rate equal to the Pass-Through Rate set forth above. The Trustee will distribute on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day (each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding such Distribution Date so long as such Certificate remains in book-entry form (and otherwise, the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month
of such Distribution Date), an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount (of interest and principal, if any) required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate.  The Assumed Final Distribution Date is the Distribution Date in the month following the latest scheduled maturity date of any Mortgage Loan.


Each holder of a Certificate or beneficial ownership shall be deemed to have made the representations set forth in Section 6.02(h) of the Pooling Agreement.


Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests by notifying the Trustee in writing as specified in the Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose and designated in such notice. The initial Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate is set forth above. The Certificate Principal Balance hereof will be reduced to the extent of distributions allocable to principal hereon and any Realized Losses allocable hereto.


This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as set forth on the face hereof (the “Certificates”). The Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the Agreement.


 









 


The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement.


This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee.


The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of each Class of Certificates affected thereby evidencing over 50% of the Voting Rights of such Class or Classes.  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 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 with the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee for such purposes, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations representing a like aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee.


The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in the Classes and denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for one or more new Certificates evidencing the same Class and in the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.


No service charge will be made to the Certificateholders for any such registration of transfer, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligations to make payments to Certificateholders with respect to the termination of the Agreement) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the later of (A) the maturity or other liquidation (or Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and (B) the remittance of all funds due under the Agreement, or (ii) the optional repurchase by the party named in the Agreement of all the Mortgage Loans and other 


 









 


assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Such optional repurchase may be made only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than or equal to a certain percentage of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date as set forth in the Agreement.  The exercise of such right will effect the early retirement of the Certificates. In no event, however, will the Trust Fund created by the Agreement continue beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration of 21 years after the death of certain persons identified in the Agreement and (ii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date (as defined in the Agreement).


Unless this Certificate has been countersigned by an authorized signatory of the Trustee 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 Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC, the Master Servicer or the Trustee referred to below or any of their affiliates or any other person. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental entity or by Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC, the Master Servicer or the Trustee or any of their affiliates or any other person.

The Mortgage Loans were sold by EMC Mortgage Corporation (“EMC”) and Master Funding LLC (“Master Funding LLC”) to BSABS I. EMC will act as master servicer of the Mortgage Loans (in that capacity, the “Master Servicer,” which term includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the “Agreement”), among BSABS I, as depositor (the “Depositor”), EMC Mortgage Corporation as seller and Master Servicer and LaSalle Bank National Association as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain

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 its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.


[For Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5 and Class M-6]                               [Interest on this Certificate will accrue from and including the immediately preceding Distribution Date (or with respect to the First Distribution Date, the Closing Date) to and including the day prior to the current Distribution Date on the Certificate Principal Balance hereof at a per annum rate equal to the Pass-Through Rate set forth above.

e or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement.This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee.The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of the Class or Classes of Certificates affected thereby evidencing over 50% of the Voting Rights of such Class or Classes.  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 her


eof 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 with the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee for such purposes, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations representing a like aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee.


[For Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5 and Class M-6] [Each holder of a Certificate or beneficial ownership shall be deemed to have made the representations set forth in Section 6.02(h) of the Pooling Agreement.]


 


 [For Class M-7 and Class M-8] [This Certificate may not be acquired directly or indirectly by, or on behalf of, an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement which is subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, unless the transferee certifies or represents that the proposed transfer and holding of a Certificate and the servicing, management and operation of the trust and its assets: (i) will not result in any prohibited transaction which is not covered under an individual or class prohibited transaction exemption, including, but not limited to, Prohibited Transaction Exemption (“PTE”) 84-14, PTE 91-38, PTE 90-1, PTE 95-60 or PTE 96-23 and (ii) will not give rise to any additional obligations on the part of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee,
which will be deemed represented by an owner of a Book-Entry Certificate or a Global Certificate or unless an opinion specified in section 6.02 of the Agreement is provided. This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as set forth on the face hereof (the “Certificates”). The Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the Agreement.]


 


The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in the Classes and denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for one or more new Certificates evidencing the same Class and in the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.No service charge will be made to the Certificateholders for any such registration of transfer, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of any of them 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 Trustee or any such agent shall


be affected by notice to the contrary.The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligations to make payments to Certificateholders with respect to the termination 


 









 


of the Agreement) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the later of (A) the maturity or other liquidation (or Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and (B) the remittance of all funds due under the Agreement, or (ii) the optional repurchase by the party named in the Agreement of all the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Such optional repurchase may be made only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than or equal to a certain percentage of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date as set forth in the Agreement.  The exercise of such right will effect the early
retirement of the Certificates. In no event, however, will the Trust Fund created by the Agreement continue beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration of 21 years after the death of certain persons identified in the Agreement and (ii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date (as defined in the Agreement).


Unless this Certificate has been countersigned by an authorized signatory of the Trustee by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.

SERIES 2005-AQ1


evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the distributions allocable to the Class P Certificates with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of conventional, closed-end one- to four-family first lien, fixed and adjustable interest rate mortgage loans sold by BEAR STEARNS ASSET BACKED SECURITIES I LLC.


This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC, the Master Servicer or the Trustee referred to below or any of their affiliates or any other person. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental entity or by Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or any of their affiliates or any other person. None of Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC, the Master Servicer or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.This certifies that ___________________ is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Certificates


of the same Class as this Certificate in a trust (the “Trust Fund”) generally consisting primarily of a pool of fixed and adjustable interest rate, conventional, closed-end  mortgage loans that are secured by first liens on one- to four-family residences (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) sold 


 









 


by Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC (“BSABS I”). The Mortgage Loans were sold by EMC Mortgage Corporation (“EMC”) and Master Funding LLC (“Master Funding LLC”) to BSABS I. EMC will act as master servicer of the Mortgage Loans (in that capacity, the “Master Servicer,” which term includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the “Agreement”), among BSABS I, as depositor (the “Depositor”), EMC Mortgage Corporation as seller and Master Servicer and LaSalle Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed
to them 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 its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.


Each Holder of this Certificate will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by the restrictions set forth in the Agreement to the effect that (i) each person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate must be a Permitted Transferee, (ii) the transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate will be conditioned upon the delivery to the Trustee of, among other things, an affidavit to the effect that it is a Permitted Transferee, (iii) any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation of such restrictions will be absolutely null and void and will vest no rights in the purported transferee, and (iv) if any person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation of such restrictions, then the Depositor will have the right, in its sole discretion and without notice to the Holder
of this Certificate, to sell this Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Depositor, which purchaser may be the Depositor, or any affiliate of the Depositor, on such terms and conditions as the Depositor may choose.The Trustee will distribute on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day (each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last day (or if such last day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately preceding such last day) of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which the Distribution Date occurs, an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amounts required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate. Distributions on this Certifica


te will be made by the Trustee by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests by notifying the Trustee in writing as specified in the Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose and designated in such notice.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 Trustee shall require receipt of (i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications from the 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 D and either Exhibit E or Exhibit F, as applicable, 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 or the Master 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. Neither the Depositor nor 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 Seller 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 Class P Certificate will be made unless the Trustee shall have received either (i) the opinion of counsel set forth in Section 6.02(h) of the Agreement or (ii) a representation letter under Section 6.02 of the Agreement, in the form as described by the Agreement, stating that the transferee is not an employee benefit or other plan subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (a “Plan”), or any other person (including an investment manager, a named fiduciary or a trustee of any Plan) acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing any Certificate with “plan assets” of any Plan.This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as set forth on the face hereof (the “Certificates”). The Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in


the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the Agreement.The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement.This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee.The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of the Class or


 Classes of Certificates affected thereby evidencing over 50% of the Voting Rights of such Class or Classes.  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 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 with the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee for such purposes, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations representing a like aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee.The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in the Classes and denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for


 one or more new Certificates evidencing the same Class and in the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.No service charge will be made to the Certificateholders for any such registration of transfer, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of any of them 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 Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligations to make payments to Certificateholders with respect to the termination of the Agreement) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the later of (A) the maturity or other liquidation (or Advance w


ith respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and (B) the remittance of all funds due under the Agreement, or (ii) the optional repurchase by the party named in the Agreement of all the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Such optional repurchase may be made only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than or equal to a
certain percentage of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date as set forth in the Agreement.  The exercise of such right will effect the early retirement of the Certificates. In no event, however, will the Trust Fund created by the Agreement continue beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration of 21 years after the death of certain persons identified in the Agreement and (ii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date (as defined in the Agreement).Unless this Certificate has been countersigned by an authorized signatory of the Trustee by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.

ASSET-BACKED CERTIFICATE


SERIES 2005-AQ1


evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the distributions allocable to the Class CE Certificates with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of fixed and adjustable interest rate, conventional, closed-end  mortgage loans that are secured by first liens on one- to four-family residences sold by BEAR STEARNS ASSET BACKED SECURITIES I LLC.


This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC, the Master Servicer or the Trustee referred to below or any of their affiliates or any other person. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental entity or by Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC, the Master Servicer or the Trustee or any of their affiliates or any other person. None of Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC, the Master Servicer or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.This certifies that __________________ is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Certificates


 of the same Class as this Certificate in a trust (the “Trust Fund”) generally consisting primarily of a pool of fixed and adjustable interest rate, conventional, closed-end mortgage loans that are secured by first liens on one- to four-family residences (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) sold by Bear Stearns Asset 


 









 


Backed Securities I LLC (“BSABS I”). The Mortgage Loans were sold by EMC Mortgage Corporation (“EMC”) and Master Funding LLC (“Master Funding LLC”) to BSABS I. EMC will act as master servicer of the Mortgage Loans (in that capacity, the “Master Servicer,” which term includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the “Agreement”), among BSABS I, as depositor (the “Depositor”), EMC Mortgage Corporation as seller and Master Servicer and LaSalle Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them 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 its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.


The Trustee will distribute on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day (each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last day (or if such last day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately preceding such last day) of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which the Distribution Date occurs, an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amounts required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate. Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such name and address shall appear on the Cer


tificate Register or, if such Person so requests by notifying the Trustee in writing as specified in the Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose and designated in such notice.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 Trustee shall require receipt of (i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Ru


le 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 D and either Exhibit E or Exhibit F, as applicable, 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, or the Master 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. Neither the Depositor nor 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 Seller 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 Class CE Certificate will be made unless the Trustee shall have received either (i) the opinion of counsel set forth in Section 6.02(h) of the Agreement or (ii) a representation letter under Section 6.02 of the Agreement, in the form as described by the Agreement, stating that the transferee is not an employee benefit or other plan subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (a “Plan”), or any other person (including an investment manager, a named fiduciary or a trustee of any Plan) acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing any Certificate with “plan assets” of any Plan.This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as set forth on the face hereof (the “Certificates”). The Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in


 the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the Agreement.The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement.This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee.The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of the Class o


r Classes of Certificates affected thereby evidencing over 50% of the Voting Rights of such Class or Classes.  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 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 with the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee for such purposes, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney d


uly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations representing a like aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee.The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in the Classes and denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and 


 









 


subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for one or more new Certificates evidencing the same Class and in the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.


No service charge will be made to the Certificateholders for any such registration of transfer, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of any of them 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 Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligations to make payments to Certificateholders with respect to the termination of the Agreement) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the later of (A) the maturity or other liquidation (or Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund


and  disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and (B) the remittance of all funds due under the Agreement, or (ii) the optional repurchase by the party named in the Agreement of all the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Such optional repurchase may be made only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than or equal to a
certain percentage of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date as set forth in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect the early retirement of the Certificates. In no event, however, will the Trust Fund created by the Agreement continue beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration of 21 years after the death of certain persons identified in the Agreement and (ii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date (as defined in the Agreement).Unless this Certificate has been countersigned by an authorized signatory of the Trustee by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.

This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC, the Master Servicer or the Trustee referred to below or any of their affiliates or any other person. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental entity or by Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or any of their affiliates or any other person. None of Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC, the Master Servicer or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.This certifies that Bear, Stearns Securities Corp. is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Ce


rtificates of the same Class as this Certificate in a trust (the “Trust Fund”) generally consisting of conventional, closed-end first lien, fixed and adjustable rate mortgage loans secured by one- to four- family residences (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) sold by Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC (“BSABS I”). The Mortgage Loans were sold by EMC Mortgage Corporation (“EMC”) and Master Funding LLC (“Master Funding LLC”) to BSABS I. EMC will act as master servicer of 


 









 


the Mortgage Loans (in that capacity, the “Master Servicer,” which term includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the “Agreement”), among BSABS I, as depositor (the “Depositor”), EMC Mortgage Corporation as seller and Master Servicer and LaSalle Bank National Association as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them 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 its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.


Each Holder of this Certificate will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by the restrictions set forth in the Agreement to the effect that (i) each person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate must be a United States Person and a Permitted Transferee, (ii) the transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate will be conditioned upon the delivery to the Trustee of, among other things, an affidavit to the effect that it is a United States Person and Permitted Transferee, (iii) any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation of such restrictions will be absolutely null and void and will vest no rights in the purported transferee, and (iv) if any person other than a United States Person and a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation of such restrictions, then the
Depositor will have the right, in its sole discretion and without notice to the Holder of this Certificate, to sell this Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Depositor, which purchaser may be the Depositor, or any affiliate of the Depositor, on such terms and conditions as the Depositor may choose.The Trustee will distribute on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day (each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last day (or if such last day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately preceding such last day) of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which the Distribution Date occurs, an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amounts required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of


the same Class as this Certificate. Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests by notifying the Trustee in writing as specified in the Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose and designated in such notice.No transfer of this Class R[-1][-2][-3]x Certificate will be made unless the Trustee shall have received either (i) the opinion of counsel set forth in Section 6.02(h) of the Agreement or (ii) a representation letter under Section 6.02 of the Agreement, in the form as described by the Agreement, stati


ng that the transferee is not an employee benefit or other plan 


 









 


subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (a “Plan”), or any other person (including an investment manager, a named fiduciary or a trustee of any Plan) acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing any Certificate with “plan assets” of any Plan.


This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as set forth on the face hereof (the “Certificates”). The Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the Agreement.The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement.This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Trus

 	Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I Trust 2005-AQ1, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2005-AQ1 (the “Certificates”), including the Class __ Certificates (the “Privately Offered Certificates”)

      



Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:


In connection with our purchase of Privately Offered Certificates, we confirm that:



	
            (i)
 	
            we understand that the Privately Offered Certificates are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) or any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws, and are being sold to us in a transaction that is exempt from the registration requirements of such laws;
 
	
            (ii)
 	
            any information we desired concerning the Certificates, including the Privately Offered Certificates, the trust in which the Certificates represent the entire beneficial ownership interest (the “Trust”) or any other matter we deemed relevant to our decision to purchase Privately Offered Certificates has been made available to us;
 
	
            (iii)
 	
            we are able to bear the economic risk of investment in Privately Offered Certificates; we are an institutional “accredited investor” as defined in Section 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Act and a sophisticated institutional investor;
 
	
            (iv)
 	
            we are acquiring Privately Offered Certificates for our own account, not as nominee for any other person, and not with a present view to any distribution or other disposition of the Privately Offered Certificates;
 
	
            (v)
 	
            we agree the Privately Offered Certificates must be held indefinitely by us (and may not be sold, pledged, hypothecated or in any way disposed of) unless subsequently registered under the Act and any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws or an exemption from the registration 
 



 









 


requirements of the Act and any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws is available;



	
            (vi)
 	
            we agree that in the event that at some future time we wish to dispose of or exchange any of the Privately Offered Certificates (such disposition or exchange not being currently foreseen or contemplated), we will not transfer or exchange any of the Privately Offered Certificates unless:
 



(A) (1) the sale is to an Eligible Purchaser (as defined below), (2) if required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below) a letter to substantially the same effect as either this letter or, if the Eligible Purchaser is a Qualified Institutional Buyer as defined under Rule 144A of the Act, the Rule 144A and Related Matters Certificate in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below) (or such other documentation as may be acceptable to the Trustee) is executed promptly by the purchaser and delivered to the addressees hereof and (3) all offers or solicitations in connection with the sale, whether directly or through any agent acting on our behalf, are limited only to Eligible Purchasers and are not made by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising whatsoever; and


(B)  if the Privately Offered Certificate is not registered under the Act (as to which we acknowledge you have no obligation), the Privately Offered Certificate is sold in a transaction that does not require registration under the Act and any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws and, if LaSalle Bank National Association (the “Trustee”) so requests, a satisfactory Opinion of Counsel is furnished to such effect, which Opinion of Counsel shall be an expense of the transferor or the transferee;



	
            (vii)
 	
            we agree to be bound by all of the terms (including those relating to restrictions on transfer) of the Pooling and Servicing, pursuant to which the Trust was formed; we have reviewed carefully and understand the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;
 
	
            (viii)
 	
            we either: (i) are not acquiring the Privately Offered Certificate directly or indirectly by, or on behalf of, an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement which is subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and/or section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or (ii) in the case of the Privately Offered Certificates, have provided the Opinion of Counsel required by the Agreement. 
 
	
            ix)
 	
            We understand that each of the Privately Offered Certificates bears, and will continue to bear, a legend to substantiate the following effect: THIS CERTIFICATE HAS NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE

CUSTODY OF MORTGAGE DOCUMENTS


Section 2.1.      Custodian to Act as Agent: Acceptance of Mortgage Files.  The Custodian, as the duly appointed custodial agent of the Trustee for these purposes, acknowledges (subject to any exceptions noted in the Initial Certification referred to in Section 2.3(a)) receipt of the Mortgage Files relating to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Schedule attached hereto (the “Mortgage Loan Schedule”) and declares that it holds and will hold such Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee, in trust, for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.


Section 2.2.      Recordation of Assignments. If any Mortgage File includes one or more assignments of Mortgage that have not been recorded and the related Mortgage Loan is not a MERS Loan or the Custodian has not received written instructions from the related Seller or the Trustee that the related Mortgaged Properties are located in jurisdictions under the laws of which the recordation of such assignment is not necessary to protect the Trustee’s interest therein, each such assignment shall be delivered by the Custodian to the related Seller for the purpose of recording it in the appropriate public office for real property records, and the Sellers, at no expense to the Custodian, shall promptly cause to be recorded in the appropriate public office for real property records each such assignment of Mortgage
and, upon receipt thereof from such public office, shall return each such assignment of Mortgage to the Custodian.



	
            Section 2.3.
 	
            Review of Mortgage Files.
 



(a)        The documents set forth in the definition “Mortgage File” herein shall be delivered and released to the Custodian relating to each of the Mortgage Loans to be purchased on a Closing Date. The related Mortgage Loans shall be identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule in electronic format which shall be delivered to the Custodian at least two Business Days prior to each Closing Date.  On or prior to the Closing Date, the Custodian shall deliver to EMC and the Trustee an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit One evidencing receipt (subject to any exceptions noted therein) of a Mortgage File for each of the Mortgage Loans listed on Schedule A attached hereto (the “Mortgage Loan Schedule”).

(b)        Within 90 days thereafter, the Custodian agrees, for the benefit of Certificateholders, to review each such document, and shall deliver to EMC, the Master Servicer and the Trustee an Interim Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit Two to the effect that all such documents have been executed and received and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, except for any exceptions listed on Schedule A attached to such Interim Certification. The Custodian shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or 

 









 


that they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.


(c)        Not later than 180 days after the Closing Date, the Custodian shall review, for the benefit of Certificateholders, the Mortgage Files and deliver to EMC, the Master Servicer and the Trustee a Final Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit Three evidencing whether each document required to be recorded has been returned from the recording office with evidence of recording thereon and the Custodian has received either an original or a copy thereof.  If the Custodian finds any document missing, or to be unrelated, determined on the basis of the mortgagor name, original principal balance and loan number, to the mortgage loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule or to appear defective on its face, the Custodian shall note such defect in the exception report attached to the Final Certification and shall promptly notify the Trustee. 

(d)        In reviewing the Mortgage Files as provided herein, the Custodian shall make no representation as to and shall not be responsible to verify (i) the validity, legality, enforceability, due authorization, recordability, sufficiency or genuineness of any of the documents included in any Mortgage File or (ii) the collectibility, insurability, effectiveness or suitability of any of the documents in any Mortgage File.

In performing any such review, the Custodian may conclusively rely on the purported due execution and genuineness of any such document and on the purported genuineness of any signature thereon.Upon receipt of written request from the Trustee, the Custodian shall as soon as practicable supply the Trustee with a list of all of the documents relating to the Mortgage Loans missing from the Mortgage Files.


Section 2.4.      Custodian to Cooperate: Release of Mortgage Files.  Upon receipt of written notice per Exhibit Four or Electronic Release Request per Exhibit Five from the Trustee that EMC has repurchased a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Article II of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and a request for release (a “Request for Release”) confirming that the purchase price therefore has been paid as required under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, then the Custodian agrees to promptly release to EMC the related Mortgage File.

Upon the Custodian’s receipt of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit Four or Three attached hereto or Electronic Release Request per Exhibit Five, stating that it has received payment in full of a Mortgage Loan or that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Custodian agrees promptly to release to the Master Servicer, the related Mortgage File.  The Depositor shall deliver to the Custodian and the Custodian agrees to review in accordance with the provisions of the Custodial Agreement the Mortgage Note and other documents constituting the Mortgage File with respect to any Replacement Mortgage Loan.

From time to time as is appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release per Exhibit Four or Electronic Release Request per Exhibit Five requesting that possession of all of 

 









 


the Mortgage File be released to the Master Servicer and certifying as to the reason for such release.  Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Custodian shall deliver the Mortgage File to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall cause each Mortgage File or any document therein so released to be returned to the Custodian when the need therefore by the Master Servicer no longer exists, unless (i) the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated, or (ii) 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.


Section 2.5.     Assumption Agreements.  In the event that any assumption agreement, substitution of liability agreement or sale of servicing agreement is entered into with respect to any Mortgage Loan subject to this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall notify the Custodian that such assumption or substitution agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Custodian the original of such assumption or substitution agreement, which shall be added to the related Mortgage File and, for all purposes, shall be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting parts thereof.


ARTICLE III.


CONCERNING THE CUSTODIAN


Section 3.1.      Custodian a Bailee and Agent of the Trustee.  With respect to each Mortgage Note, Mortgage and other documents constituting each Mortgage File which are delivered to the Custodian, the Custodian is exclusively the bailee and custodial agent of the Trustee and has no instructions to hold any Mortgage Note or Mortgage for the benefit of any person other than the Trustee and the Certificateholders and undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. Except upon compliance with the provisions of Section 2.4 of this Agreement, no Mortgage Note, Mortgage or Mortgage File shall be delivered by the Custodian to the Sellers, the Depositor or the Master Servicer or otherwise released from the possession of the Custodian.

Section 3.2.      Custodian May Own Certificates. The Custodian in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of interests in the Mortgage Loans with the same rights it would have if it were not Custodian.

Section 3.3.      Master Servicer to Pay Custodian’s Fees and Expenses.  The Master Servicer covenants and agrees to pay to the Custodian from time to time, and the Custodian shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Custodian, and the Master Servicer will pay or reimburse the Custodian upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Custodian in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith.  A separate fee
    schedule will apply between the Custodian and the Master Servicer.  

Section 3.4.      Custodian May Resign; Trustee May Remove Custodian.  The Custodian may resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed upon it as such obligations 

 









 


and duties relate to its acting as Custodian of the Mortgage Loans. Upon receiving such written notice of resignation, the Trustee shall either take custody of the Mortgage Files itself and give prompt written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Custodian, or promptly appoint a successor Custodian by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Custodian and one copy to the successor Custodian.  If the Trustee shall not have taken custody of the Mortgage Files and no successor Custodian shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such written notice of resignation, the resigning Custodian may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Custodian.


The Trustee may remove the Custodian at any time upon 60 days prior written notice to Custodian. In such event, the Trustee shall appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a successor Custodian hereunder. Any successor Custodian shall be a depository institution subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority shall be able to satisfy the other requirements contained in Section 3.7 and shall be unaffiliated with the Master Servicer and the Depositor.Any resignation or removal of the Custodian and appointment of a successor Custodian pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 3.4 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Custodian. The Trustee shall give prompt notice to the Depositor and the Master Servicer of the appointment of any successor Custodian. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no


successor Custodian shall be appointed by the Trustee without the prior approval of the Depositor and the Master Servicer.

Section 3.5.      Merger or Consolidation of Custodian.  Any Person into which the Custodian may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Custodian shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Custodian, shall be the successor of the Custodian hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 3.6.      Representations of the Custodian.  The Custodian hereby represents that it is a depository institution subject to supervision or examination by a federal or state authority, has a combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000 and is qualified to do business in the jurisdictions in which it will hold any Mortgage File.

Section 3.7.      Limitation on Liability.  Neither the Custodian nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees, shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or in connection herewith in good faith and believed (which belief may be based upon the opinion or advice of counsel selected by it in the exercise of reasonable care) by it or them to be within the purview of this Agreement, except for its or their own negligence, lack of good faith or willful misconduct.  The Custodian and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Custodian 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. In no event shall the Custodian or its directors, officers, agents and
      employees be held liable for any special, indirect or consequential damages resulting from any action taken or omitted to be taken 

 









 


by it or them hereunder or in connection herewith even if advised of the possibility of such damages.


Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Custodian agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Trustee and each of their respective officers, directors and agents for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, payments, costs or expenses of any kind whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Trustee or Trust Fund, due to any negligent performance by the Custodian of its duties and responsibilities under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Custodian shall not be liable to any of the foregoing Persons for any amount and any portion of any such amount resulting from the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of such person, and the Custodian’s reliance on instructions from the Trustee or the Master Servicer. The provisions of this Section 3.7 shall survive the termination of this Custodial Agreement.


The Custodian and its directors, officers, employees and agents shall be entitled to indemnification and defense from the Trust Fund for any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith on their part, arising out of, or in connection with, the acceptance or administration of the custodial arrangement created hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder.



	
            Section 3.8.
 	
            Limitation of Duties.  The Custodian in its capacity as such:
 



(a)        in the course of its review of the Mortgage Files, shall not be required to make determinations (1) of a legal nature or (2) as to the authority of any officer or agent of the Master Servicer, Trustee or other entity who has executed (or certified with respect to) any document which is part of the Mortgage File; 

(b)        shall have no duties or obligations other than those specifically set forth herein or as may subsequently be agreed upon in writing by the parties hereto and shall use the same degree of care and skill as is reasonably expected of financial institutions acting in comparable capacities;

(c)        will be regarded as making no representations and having no responsibilities as to the validity, sufficiency, value, genuineness, ownership or transferability of any Mortgage Loans and will not be required to and will not make any representations as to the validity, value or genuineness of the Mortgage Loans;

(d)        shall not be obligated to take any legal action hereunder which might in its judgment involve any expense or liability unless it has been furnished with reasonable indemnity;

(e)        may rely on and shall be protected in acting upon any certificate, instrument, opinion, notice, letter, telegram or other document, or any security, delivered to it and reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed by the Master Servicer or the Trustee;

 









 


(f)         may rely on and shall be protected in acting upon the written instructions of the Master Servicer or the Trustee and such employees and representatives of the Master Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, may hereinafter designate in writing;

(g)        may consult counsel satisfactory to it (including counsel for the Trustee or the Master Servicer) and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered, or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of such counsel (provided that the fees of such counsel in connection with such consultation and opinion shall be paid by the Custodian); and

(h)        shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it, in good faith, or for any mistake of fact or law, or for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in connection therewith, except in the case of a breach of any of the Custodian’s obligations hereunder, negligence or willful misconduct.

The Custodian shall be held to the same standard of conduct, and shall be entitled to the same protections, privileges and immunities as other custodians acting in a custodial capacity are generally afforded.

No covenant or agreement contained herein shall be deemed to be the covenant or agreement of any member of the Board of Directors, or any director, officer, agent, employee or representative of the Trustee, Master Servicer or the Custodian in his or her individual capacity and none of such persons shall be subject to any personal liability or accountability by reason of the execution of this Agreement, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty, or otherwise.

ARTICLE IV.


 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 4.2.      Amendments.  No modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement shall be valid or effective unless the same is in writing and signed by all parties hereto.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the properties subject to the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Depositor and at the Trust’s expense, but only upon direction accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor to the effect that the failure to effect such recordation is likely to materially and adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders.

  or that they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.

(d)   The Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf will review the Mortgage Files within 180 days of the Closing Date and will deliver to EMC and the Master Servicer, and if reviewed by the Custodian, the Trustee, a final certification substantially in the form of Exhibit Three to the Custodial Agreement. If the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf is unable to deliver a final certification with respect to the items listed in Exhibit 1 due to any document that is missing, has not been executed, is unrelated, determined on the basis of the Mortgagor name, original principal balance and loan number, to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Final Mortgage Loan Schedule (a “Material

EMC (on its own behalf as a Mortgage Loan Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) shall correct or cure any such Material Defect within 90 days from the date of notice from the Trustee, the Depositor or the Master Servicer of the Material Defect and if EMC (on its own behalf as a Mortgage Loan Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) does not correct or cure such Material Defect within such period and such defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan, EMC (on its own behalf as a Mortgage Loan Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) will, in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, within 90 days of the date of notice, provide the Trustee with a Replacement Mortgage Loan (if within two years of the
    Closing Date) or purchase the related Mortgage Loan 

 









 


at the applicable Purchase Price; provided, however, that if such defect relates solely to the inability of EMCto deliver the original security instrument or intervening assignments thereof, or a certified copy because the originals of such documents, or a certified copy, have not been returned by the applicable jurisdiction, EMC (on its own behalf as a Mortgage Loan Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan if EMC (on its own behalf as a Mortgage Loan Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) delivers such original documents or certified copy promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date. The foregoing repurchase obligation shall
not apply in the event that EMC (on its own behalf as a Mortgage Loan Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted for recording to the appropriate recording office in the applicable jurisdiction because such document has not been returned by such office; provided that EMC (on its own behalf as a Mortgage Loan Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office or, if such receipt is not available, a certificate of EMC (on its own behalf as a Mortgage Loan Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) or a Servicing Officer confirming that such documents have been accepted for recording, and delivery to the Trustee shall be effected by EMC (on its own behalf as a Mortgage Loan Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) within thirty days of its receipt of the original recorded document.


(e)  At the time of any substitution, EMC (on its own behalf as a Mortgage Loan Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) shall deliver or cause to be delivered the Replacement Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage File and any other documents and payments required to be delivered in connection with a substitution pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. At the time of any purchase or substitution, the Trustee shall (i) assign the selected Mortgage Loan to EMC (on its own behalf as a Mortgage Loan Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) and shall release or cause the Custodian to release the documents (including, but not limited to, the Mortgage, Mortgage Note and other contents of the Mortgage File) in the possession of the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable relating to the Deleted Mortgage Loan and (ii) execute and deliver such instruments of
transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in EMC (on its own behalf as a Mortgage Loan Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) title to such Deleted Mortgage Loan.


Recordation of Assignments of Mortgage.


(a)   EMC (on its own behalf as Mortgage Loan Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) will, promptly after the Closing Date, cause each Mortgage and each assignment of Mortgage from the Mortgage Loan Sellers to the Trustee, and all unrecorded intervening assignments, if any, delivered 


 









 


on or prior to the Closing Date, to be recorded in all recording offices in the jurisdictions where the related Mortgaged Properties are located; provided, however, EMC (on its own behalf as Mortgage Loan Seller or  on behalf of Master Funding) need not cause to be recorded any assignment which relates to a Mortgage Loan that is a MOM Loan or for which the related Mortgaged Property is located in any jurisdiction under the laws of which, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered by EMC (on its own behalf as Mortgage Loan Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies, the recordation of such assignment is not necessary to protect the Trustee’s interest in the related Mortgage Loan;  provided,
however, notwithstanding the delivery of any Opinion of Counsel, each assignment of Mortgage shall be submitted for recording by EMC (on its own behalf as Mortgage Loan Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) in the manner described above, at no expense to the Trust Fund or Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of (i) reasonable direction by the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the Trust, (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to EMC under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer or an assignment of the servicing as described in Section 7.07 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (iv) with respect to any one assignment of Mortgage, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage.


While each such Mortgage or assignment is being recorded, if necessary, the EMC (on its own behalf as a Mortgage Loan Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) shall leave or cause to be left with the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf a certified copy of such Mortgage or assignment. In the event that, within 180 days of the Closing Date, the Trustee has not been provided with an Opinion of Counsel as described above or received evidence of recording with respect to each Mortgage Loan delivered to the Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof or as set forth above and the related Mortgage Loan is not a MOM Loan, the failure to provide evidence of recording or such Opinion of Counsel shall be considered a Material Defect, and the provisions of Section 5(c) and (d) shall apply. All customary recording fees and reasonable expenses relating to the recordation of the assignments of mortgage to
the Trustee or the Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be, shall be borne by EMC.

(b)        It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by each Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser, as contemplated by this Agreement be, and be treated as, a sale. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by such Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of that Mortgage Loan Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held by a court to continue to be property of such Mortgage Loan Seller, then (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code; (b) the transfer of the Mortgage Loans provided for herein shall be 

 









 


deemed to be a grant by such Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser of a security interest in all of such Mortgage Loan 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, to the extent the Purchaser would otherwise be entitled to own such Mortgage Loans and proceeds pursuant to Section 4 hereof, including all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested in any accounts created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (c) the possession by the Purchaser or the Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf) of Mortgage Notes and such other items of property as
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 (or comparable provision) of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code; and (d) 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 any provision hereof or pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereby. EMC (on its own behalf as a Mortgage Loan Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) and the Purchaser shall, to the extent
consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be reasonably 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(a)            EMC (on its own behalf as a Mortgage Loan Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and its directors, officers and controlling persons (as defined in Section 15 of the Securities Act) from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability or action in respect thereof, to which they or any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon (i) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Mortgage Loan Sellers’ Information as identified in Exhibit 4, the omission to state in the Prospectus Supplement or Prospectus (or any amendment
thereof or supplement thereto approved by EMC (on its own behalf as a Mortgage Loan Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) and in which additional Mortgage Loan Sellers’ Information is identified), in reliance upon and in conformity with Mortgage Loan Sellers’ Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, (ii) any representation or warranty assigned or made by the Mortgage Loan Sellers in Section 7 or Section 8 hereof being, or alleged to be, untrue or incorrect, or (iii) any failure by EMC (on its own behalf as a Mortgage Loan Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) to perform its obligations under this Agreement; and EMC (on its own behalf as a Mortgage Loan Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) shall reimburse the Purchaser and each other indemnified party for any legal and other expenses
reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action.


The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which EMC or Master Funding otherwise may have to the Purchaser or any other such indemnified party.


(b)        The Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless each Mortgage Loan Seller and its respective directors, officers and controlling persons (as 


 









 


defined in Section 15 of the Securities Act) from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability or action in respect thereof, to which they or any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon (i) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Purchaser’s Information as identified in Exhibit 5, the omission to state in the Prospectus Supplement or Prospectus (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto approved by the Purchaser and in which additional Purchaser’s Information is identified), in reliance upon and in conformity with the Purchaser’s Information, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in light
of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, (ii) any representation or warranty made by the Purchaser in Section 9 hereof being, or alleged to be, untrue or incorrect, or (iii) any failure by the Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Agreement; and the Purchaser shall reimburse each Mortgage Loan Seller and each other indemnified party for any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which the Purchaser otherwise may have to the Mortgage Loan Sellers, or any other such indemnified party.


(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify each party against whom indemnification is to be sought in writing of the commencement thereof (but the failure so to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 13 except to the extent that it has been prejudiced in any material respect by such failure or from any liability which it may have otherwise). In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent it may elect by written
notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly (but, in any event, within 30 days) after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by one of the indemnifying parties in connection with the defense of such action, (ii) the indemnifying parties shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such action within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, or (iii) 


 









 


such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there is a conflict of interest between itself or themselves and the indemnifying party in the conduct of the defense of any claim or that the interests of the indemnified party or parties are not substantially co-extensive with those of the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying parties shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the indemnifying parties (provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall be liable only for the fees and expenses of one counsel in addition to one local counsel in the jurisdiction involved. Anything in this subsection to the contrary notwithstanding,
an indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement or any claim or action effected without its written consent; provided, however, that such consent was not unreasonably withheld.


(d)     If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 14 shall for any reason be unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to in Section 14, then the indemnifying party shall in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Mortgage Loan Sellers on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other from the purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans, the offering of the Certificates and the other transactions contemplated hereunder. No person
found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any person who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e)         The parties hereto agree that reliance by an indemnified party on any publicly available information or any information or directions furnished by an indemnifying party shall not constitute negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct by such indemnified party.

Subsequent to the delivery of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, each of EMC’s, in its capacity as a Mortgage Loan Seller,representations and warranties contained herein with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be deemed to relate to the Mortgage Loans actually delivered to the Purchaser and included in the Final Mortgage Loan Schedule and any Replacement Mortgage Loan and not to those Mortgage Loans deleted from the Preliminary
    Mortgage Loan Schedule pursuant to Section 3 hereof prior to the Closing.

Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited or invalid under applicable law, this Agreement shall be ineffective only to such extent, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement.
