 THIS POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of July 1, 2003, among FIRST HORIZON ASSET SECURITIES
INC., a Delaware corporation, as depositor (the “Depositor”), FIRST HORIZON HOME LOAN CORPORATION, a Kansas corporation, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), and THE BANK OF NEW YORK, a banking corporation organized under
the laws of the State of New York, as trustee (the “Trustee”). 
  
 WITNESSETH THAT 
  
 In consideration of the mutual
agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
  
 PRELIMINARY STATEMENT 
  
 The Depositor is the owner of
the Trust Fund that is hereby conveyed to the Trustee in return for the Certificates. The Trust Fund and the Rounding Account for federal income tax purposes will consist of two separate REMICs. The Certificates will represent the entire beneficial
ownership interest in the Trust Fund. The Regular Certificates will represent “regular interests” in the Upper REMIC. The Class I-A-RU Certificates will represent the sole class of residual interests in the Upper REMIC and the Class I-A-RL
Certificates will represent the sole class of residual interests in the Lower REMIC, as described in Section 2.7. The “latest possible maturity date” for federal income tax purposes of all REMIC regular interests created hereby will be the
Latest Possible Maturity Date. 
  
 The following table sets forth
characteristics of the Certificates, together with the minimum denominations and integral multiples in excess thereof in which such Classes shall be issuable (except that one Certificate of each Class of Certificates may be issued in a different
amount and, in addition, one Residual Certificate representing the Tax Matters Person Certificate may be issued in a different amount):

 In the event that in connection with any Mortgage Loan the Depositor cannot deliver (a) the original recorded Mortgage or (b) all interim recorded assignments satisfying the requirements of clause (ii) or (iii) above,
respectively, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof because such document or documents have not been returned from the applicable public recording office, the Depositor shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or
the Custodian on its behalf such original Mortgage or such interim assignment, as the case may be, with evidence of recording indicated thereon upon receipt thereof from the public recording office, or a copy thereof, certified, if appropriate, by
the relevant recording office, but in no event shall any such delivery of the original Mortgage and each such interim assignment or a copy thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant recording office, be made later than one year following
the Closing Date; provided, however, in the event the Depositor is unable to deliver or cause to be delivered by such date each Mortgage and each such interim assignment by reason of the fact that any such documents have not been returned by the
appropriate recording office, or, in the case of each such interim assignment, because the related Mortgage has not been returned by the appropriate recording office, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered such documents to the Trustee
or the Custodian on its behalf as promptly as possible upon receipt thereof and, in any event, within 720 days following the Closing Date. The Depositor shall forward or cause to be forwarded to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf (a) from
time to time additional original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of a Mortgage Loan and (b) any other documents required to be delivered by the Depositor or the Master Servicer to the Trustee. In the event that the original
Mortgage is not delivered and in connection with the payment in full of the related Mortgage Loan and the public recording office requires the presentation of a “lost instruments affidavit and indemnity” or any equivalent document, because
only a copy of the Mortgage can be delivered with the instrument of satisfaction or reconveyance, the Master Servicer shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such a document to the public recording office. In the case where a
public recording office retains the original recorded Mortgage or in the case where a Mortgage is lost after recordation in a public recording office, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf
a copy of such Mortgage certified by such public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded Mortgage. 
  
 In addition, in the event that in connection with any Mortgage Loan the Depositor cannot deliver or cause to be delivered the original or duplicate
original lender’s title policy (together 
  

 38

 with all riders thereto), satisfying the requirements of clause (v) above, concurrently with the execution and delivery
hereof because the related Mortgage has not been returned from the applicable public recording office, the Depositor shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf such original or duplicate original
lender’s title policy (together with all riders thereto) upon receipt thereof from the applicable title insurer, but in no event shall any such delivery of the original or duplicate original lender’s title policy be made later than one
year following the Closing Date; provided, however, in the event the Depositor is unable to deliver or cause to be delivered by such date the original or duplicate original lender’s title policy (together with all riders thereto) because the
related Mortgage has not been returned by the appropriate recording office, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered such documents to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf as promptly as possible upon receipt thereof and, in any
event, within 720 days following the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the preceding, in connection with any Mortgage Loan for which either the original or duplicate original title policy has not been delivered to the Trust, if at any time during the
term of this Agreement the parent company of the Seller does not have a long term senior debt rating of A- or higher from S&P and A- or higher from Fitch (if rated by Fitch), then the Depositor shall within 30 days deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf (if it has not previously done so) a written commitment or interim binder or preliminary report of the title issued by the title insurance or escrow company with respect to the Mortgaged
Property. 
  
 Subject to the immediately following sentence, as
promptly as practicable subsequent to such transfer and assignment, and in any event, within thirty (30) days thereafter, the Master Servicer shall (i) complete each assignment of Mortgage, as follows: “First Horizon Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2003-7, The Bank of New York, as trustee for the holders of the Certificates”, (ii) cause such assignment to be in proper form for recording in the appropriate public office for real property records and (iii) cause to be
delivered for recording in the appropriate public office for real property records the assignments of the Mortgages to the Trustee, except that, with respect to any assignments of Mortgage as to which the Master Servicer has not received the
information required to prepare such assignment in recordable form, the Master Servicer’s obligation to do so and to deliver the same for such recording shall be as soon as practicable after receipt of such information and in any event within
thirty (30) days after receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer need not cause to be recorded any assignment which relates to a Mortgage Loan in any state other than the Required Recordation States. 
  
 In the case of Mortgage Loans that have been prepaid in full as of the
Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf, will deposit in the Certificate Account the portion of such payment that is required to be deposited in the Certificate Account
pursuant to Section 3.8 hereof. 
  
 Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Agreement, within thirty days after the Closing Date, the Depositor shall either (i) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf the Mortgage File as required pursuant to this Section 2.1 for
each Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan or (ii) (A) substitute or cause to be substituted a Substitute Mortgage Loan for the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan or (B) repurchase or cause to be repurchased the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan, which substitution or
repurchase shall be accomplished in the 
  

 39

 manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.3 (treating each Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan as a Deleted
Mortgage Loan for purposes of such Section 2.3), provided, however, that if the Depositor fails to deliver a Mortgage File for any Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan within the thirty-day period provided in the prior sentence, the Depositor shall use its
best reasonable efforts to effect or cause to be effected a substitution, rather than a repurchase of, such Deleted Mortgage Loan and provided further that the cure period provided for in Section 2.2 or in Section 2.3 shall not apply to the initial
delivery of the Mortgage File for such Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan, but rather the Depositor shall have five (5) Business Days to cure or cause to be cured such failure to deliver. At the end of such thirty-day period, the Trustee or the Custodian,
on its behalf shall send a Delay Delivery Certification for the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans delivered during such thirty-day period in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, none of the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund is or will be Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans.

Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Trustee acknowledges that the Custodian will maintain possession of the Mortgage Notes in the State of Illinois, unless otherwise permitted by the
Rating Agencies. 
  
 The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver or
to cause the Custodian to execute and deliver on the Closing Date to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and MBIA an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit E. Based on its or the Custodian’s review and examination, and only
as to the documents identified in such Initial Certification, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, acknowledges that such documents appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan. Neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall be
under any 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 in the real estate records or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face. 
  
 On or about the thirtieth (30th) day after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver or shall cause the Custodian to deliver to the Depositor, MBIA and
the Master Servicer a Delay Delivery Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, none of the Mortgage Loans in the Trust

 If, in the course of such review, the Trustee or the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee finds any
document constituting a part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.1, the Trustee shall list or shall cause the Custodian to list such as an exception in the Final Certification; provided, however that neither the
Trustee nor the Custodian shall make any determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer all right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note or (ii) any
assignment is in recordable form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment relates. The Seller shall promptly correct or cure such defect within 90 days from the date
it was so notified of such defect and, if the Seller does not correct or cure such defect within such period, the Seller shall either (a) substitute for the related Mortgage Loan a Substitute Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished

provided, however, that in no event shall such substitution or purchase occur more than 540 days from the Closing Date, except that if the substitution or purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this provision is required by reason of a delay in
delivery of any documents by the appropriate recording office, and there is a dispute between either the Master Servicer or the Seller and the Trustee over the location or status of the recorded document, then such substitution or purchase shall
occur within 720 days from the Closing Date. The Trustee shall deliver written notice to each Rating Agency and MBIA within 270 days from the Closing Date indicating each Mortgage Loan (a) which has not been returned by the appropriate recording
office or (b) as to which there is a dispute as to location or status of such Mortgage Loan. Such notice shall be delivered every 90 days thereafter until the related Mortgage Loan is returned to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf. Any such
substitution pursuant to (a) above or purchase pursuant to (b) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee and MBIA of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.5 hereof, if any, and any substitution pursuant to (a) above
shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the Trustee and MBIA of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit L. No substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such
month. The Purchase Price for any such Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by the Seller in the Certificate Account on or prior to the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month following the month of repurchase and, upon
receipt of such deposit and certification with respect thereto in the form of Exhibit M hereto, the Trustee shall cause the Custodian to release the related Mortgage File to the Seller and shall execute and deliver at the Seller’s request such

originals of such other documents or instruments constituting the Mortgage File as come into the possession of the Master Servicer from time to time.

 the sole remedy respecting such defect available to the Trustee, the Depositor and any Certificateholder against the
Seller. 
  
 
SECTION 2.3. Representations and Warranties of the Master Servicer; Covenants of the Seller. 
  

	 	(a)	 	The Master Servicer hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth in Schedule II hereto and by this reference incorporated herein, to the Depositor and the Trustee, as
of the Closing Date, or if so specified therein, as of the Cut-off Date. 

  

	 	(b)	 	Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a representation or warranty made pursuant to Schedule B to the MLPA that materially and adversely affects the interests
of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt notice thereof to the other parties. The Seller hereby covenants that within 90 days of the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of written notice
from any party of a breach of any representation or warranty made pursuant to Schedule B to the MLPA which 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, shall, (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 Substitute 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,
however, that any such substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee and MBIA of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.5 hereof, if any, and any such substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not
be effected prior to the additional delivery to the Trustee and MBIA or the Custodian on its behalf of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit M and the Mortgage File for any such Substitute Mortgage Loan. The Seller 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. With respect to the representations and warranties described in
this Section which are made to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, if it is discovered by either the Depositor, the Seller or the Trustee that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and
adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders therein, notwithstanding the Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation or warranty, such inaccuracy shall
be deemed a breach of the applicable representation or warranty. 

  
 With respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Seller shall deliver to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf for the benefit of the Certificateholders the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related
assignment of the Mortgage, and such other documents and agreements as are required by Section 2.1, with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as

 required by Section 2.1. No substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for
such month. Scheduled Payments due with respect to Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Seller on the next succeeding Distribution Date. For the month of substitution,
distributions to Certificateholders will include the monthly payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter the 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 Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and the Master Servicer shall deliver the
amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee. Upon such substitution, the Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Seller shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the representations and warranties made pursuant to Schedule B to the MLPA with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Upon any such substitution and the deposit to the Certificate Account of the
amount required to be deposited therein in connection with such substitution as described in the following paragraph, the Trustee shall release or shall cause the Custodian to release the Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders
relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Seller and shall execute and deliver at the Seller’s direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Seller, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest title
in the Seller, or its designee, the Trustee’s interest in any Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.3. 
  
 For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will
determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all such Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of
the scheduled principal portion of the monthly payments due in the month of substitution). The amount of such shortage (the “Substitution Adjustment Amount”) plus an amount equal to the aggregate of any unreimbursed Advances with respect
to such Deleted Mortgage Loans shall be deposited in the Certificate Account by the Seller on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month succeeding the calendar month during which the related Mortgage Loan
became required to be purchased or replaced hereunder. 
  
 In the
event that the Seller shall have repurchased a Mortgage Loan, the Purchase Price therefor shall be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.5 on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month
following the month during which the Seller became obligated hereunder to repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan and upon such deposit of the Purchase Price, the delivery of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.5 and receipt of a Request
for Release in the form of Exhibit M hereto, the Trustee shall release or shall cause the Custodian to release the related Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders to such Person, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver or
shall cause the Custodian to execute and deliver at such Person’s direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by such Person, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to transfer title from the Trustee. It is
understood and agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of the Seller to cure, repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach 
  

 43 







Table of Contents


 has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against the Seller respecting such breach available to
Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee on their behalf. 
  
 After giving effect to the sale of the Certificates by the Depositor to the Underwriters, and thereafter, so long as any Certificates remain outstanding, the Seller, its affiliates and agents, collectively, shall not beneficially own
Certificates the aggregate fair value of which would represent 90% or more of the beneficial interests in the Trust Fund. 
  
 The representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee or the
Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders. 
  
 
SECTION 2.4 Representations and Warranties of the Depositor as to the Mortgage Loans. 
  
 The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee with respect to each Mortgage Loan as of the date hereof or such other date set forth herein
that as of the Closing Date, and following the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to it pursuant to the MLPA and immediately prior to the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by it to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.1(a) hereof, the Depositor had good
title to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Notes were subject to no offsets, defenses or counterclaims. 
  
 It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.4 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to the
Trustee. Upon discovery by the Depositor or the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.4 (referred to herein as a “breach”), which breach materially and adversely affects the
interest of the Certificateholders, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the others, MBIA and to each Rating Agency. 
  
 
SECTION 2.5 Delivery of Opinion of Counsel in Connection with Substitutions. 
  

	 	(a)	 	Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no substitution pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 2.3 shall be made more than 90 days after the Closing Date unless the
Depositor delivers to the Trustee and MBIA an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be at the expense of either the Trustee, the Trust Fund or MBIA, addressed to the Trustee and MBIA, to the effect that such substitution will not
(i) result in the imposition of the tax on “prohibited transactions” on the Trust Fund or contributions after the Startup Date, as defined in Sections 860F(a)(2) and 860G(d) of the Code, respectively, or (ii) cause any REMIC created
hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. 

  

	 	(b)	 	Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of discovery) give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Trustee shall require the Depositor
to cause the Seller, pursuant to the MLPA and at the Seller’s option, to 

  

 44 







Table of Contents


 either (i) substitute, if the conditions in Section 2.3(b) with respect to substitutions are satisfied, a
Substitute Mortgage Loan for the affected Mortgage Loan, or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of such discovery in the same manner as it would a Mortgage Loan for a breach of representation or warranty made pursuant to
Section 2.3. The Trustee shall reconvey or shall cause the Custodian to reconvey to the Seller the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for
breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section 2.3. 
  
 
SECTION 2.6 Execution and Delivery of Certificates. 
  
 The Trustee acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the Trust Fund and, concurrently with such transfer and assignment, has executed and delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, the Certificates in
authorized denominations evidencing directly or indirectly the entire ownership of the Trust Fund. The Trustee agrees to hold the Trust Fund and exercise the rights referred to above for the benefit of all present and future Holders of the
Certificates and to perform the duties set forth in this Agreement to the best of its ability, to the end that the interests of the Holders of the Certificates may be adequately and effectively protected. 
  
 
SECTION 2.7 REMIC Matters. 
  
 The Preliminary Statement sets forth the designations and “latest possible maturity date” for federal income tax purposes of all REMIC regular interests created hereby. Each interest identified in the table below by a designation
beginning with “L” shall be a “regular interest” in the Lower REMIC and the Class I-A-RL Certificates shall be the sole class of residual interest in the Lower REMIC. The Lower REMIC Interests shall be uncertificated and shall be
held by the Trustee as assets of the Upper REMIC. The assets of the Lower REMIC shall be as set forth in the definition thereof. The assets of the Upper REMIC shall be as set forth in the definition thereof. The “Startup Day” for purposes
of the REMIC Provisions shall be the Closing Date. The Tax Matters Person with respect to each REMIC hereunder shall be the Trustee and the Trustee shall hold the Tax Matters Person Certificate. Each REMIC’s taxable year shall be the calendar
year and its accounts shall be maintained using the accrual method.

ARTICLE III 
 ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS 
  
 
SECTION 3.1 Master Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans. 
  
 For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of (i) the Servicing Rights Transfer and Subservicing Agreement, pursuant
to which First Tennessee Mortgage Services, Inc. engaged the Master Servicer to subservice the Mortgage Loans, (ii) this Agreement, and (iii) the customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage loan servicers; provided that if there is
a conflict between the terms of the Servicing Agreement and the Servicing Rights Transfer and Subservicing Agreement, on the one hand, and this Agreement, on the other hand, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail. 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 3.2 hereof, 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 Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages (but only in the manner provided in this Agreement), (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and
other Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan; provided that the Master Servicer shall not take any 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, the Trustee and the Certificateholders under this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall represent and protect the
interests of the Trust Fund in the same manner as it protects its own interests in mortgage loans in its own portfolio in any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan, and shall not make or permit any 
  

 48 







Table of Contents


 modification, waiver or amendment of any Mortgage Loan which would cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify
as a REMIC or result in the imposition of any tax under Section 860F(a) or Section 860G(d) of the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer, in its own name or in the name of the Depositor and the Trustee, is hereby
authorized and empowered by 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 either or both of them as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to service
and administer the Mortgage Loans to the extent that the Master Servicer is not permitted to execute and deliver such documents pursuant to the preceding sentence. 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 preceding paragraph, 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 3.6, and further as provided in Section 3.8. The 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 Balances of the related Mortgage Loans,
notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit. 
  
 
SECTION 3.2 Subservicing; Enforcement of the Obligations of Servicers. 
  

	 	(a)	 	The Master Servicer may arrange for the subservicing of any Mortgage Loan by a Subservicer pursuant to a subservicing agreement; provided, however, that such subservicing
arrangement and the terms of the related subservicing agreement must provide for the servicing of such Mortgage Loans in a manner consistent with the servicing arrangements contemplated hereunder. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in
this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer in servicing the Mortgage Loans include actions taken or to be taken by a Subservicer on behalf of the Master Servicer. Notwithstanding the provisions of any subservicing
agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer and a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through a Subservicer or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and
liable to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such
subservicing agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. All
actions

Table of Contents


 of each Subservicer performed pursuant to the related subservicing agreement shall be performed as an
agent of the Master Servicer with the same force and effect as if performed directly by the Master Servicer. 
  

	 	(b)	 	For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are received by
a Subservicer regardless of whether such payments are remitted by the Subservicer to the Master Servicer. 

  
 
SECTION 3.3 Rights of the Depositor and the Trustee in Respect of the Master Servicer. 
  
 The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a
designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer hereunder and in connection with any such defaulted obligation to exercise the related rights of the Master Servicer hereunder; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be
relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. Neither the Trustee nor the Depositor shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer nor
shall the Trustee or the Depositor be obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer hereunder or otherwise. 
  
 
SECTION 3.4 Trustee to Act as Master Servicer. 
  
 In the event that the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer hereunder (including by reason of an Event of Default), the Trustee or its successor shall thereupon assume all of the rights
and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder arising thereafter (except that the Trustee shall not be (i) liable for losses of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.9 hereof or any acts or omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer
hereunder), (ii) obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from doing so by applicable law, (iii) obligated to effectuate repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans hereunder including, but not limited to, repurchases or substitutions of
Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.2 or 2.3 hereof, (iv) responsible for expenses of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 2.3 or (v) deemed to have made any representations and warranties of the Master Servicer hereunder). Any such assumption
shall be subject to Section 7.2 hereof. If the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer (including by reason of any Event of Default), the Trustee or its successor shall succeed to any rights and obligations of the
Master Servicer under each subservicing agreement. 
  
 The Master
Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the expense of the Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each subservicing agreement or substitute subservicing agreement and the Mortgage Loans then
being serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts collected or held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the substitute subservicing agreement to the assuming party.

SECTION 3.5 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments; Certificate Account; Distribution Account. 
  

	 	(a)	 	The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts in accordance with the customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage servicers 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 or any prepayment charge or penalty interest in connection with the prepayment of a Mortgage Loan and (ii) extend the due dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period not greater than 180
days; provided, however, that the Master Servicer cannot extend the maturity of any such Mortgage Loan past the date on which the final payment is due on the latest maturing Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date. In the event of any such arrangement,
the Master Servicer shall make Advances on the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.1 during the scheduled period in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by
reason of such arrangements. 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. 

  

	 	(b)	 	The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain the Certificate Account. The Certificate Account shall consist of two separate subaccounts, each of which shall relate to a
particular Mortgage Pool. The Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the appropriate subaccount of the Certificate Account no later than two Business Days after 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 on the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Pool, including Principal Prepayments; 

  

	 	(ii)	 	all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Pool, net of the related Master Servicing Fee, any Prepayment Interest Excess and, for so long as
First Horizon is the Master Servicer, any Retained Yield; 

  

	 	(iii)	 	all Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds in respect of the related Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Pool, 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 in respect of the related Mortgage Pool pursuant to Section 3.5(c) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments;


  

	 	(v)	 	any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer in respect of the related Mortgage Pool pursuant to Section 3.9(b), 3.9(d), and in respect of net monthly rental income
from any related REO Property pursuant to Section 3.11 hereof; 

  

	 	(vi)	 	all Substitution Adjustment Amounts in respect of the related Mortgage Pool; 

  

	 	(vii)	 	all Advances in respect of the related Mortgage Pool made by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.1; and 


	 	(viii)	 	any other amounts required to be deposited hereunder in respect of the related Mortgage Pool. 

  
 In addition, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is subject to a buydown agreement, on each Due Date for
such Mortgage Loan, in addition to the monthly payment remitted by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall cause funds to be deposited into the applicable subaccount of the Certificate Account in an amount required to cause an amount of interest to
be paid with respect to such Mortgage Loan equal to the amount of interest that has accrued on such Mortgage Loan from the preceding Due Date at the related Adjusted Mortgage Rate on such date. 
  
 The foregoing requirements for remittance by the Master
Servicer shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of prepayment penalties, late payment charges, assumption fees or amounts attributable to reimbursements of
Advances, 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, it may at any time withdraw or direct the institution maintaining the Certificate Account
to withdraw such amount from the Certificate Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such withdrawal or direction may be accomplished by delivering written notice thereof to the Trustee or such other institution maintaining
the Certificate Account which describes the amounts deposited in error in the Certificate Account. The Master Servicer shall maintain adequate records with respect to all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section. All funds deposited in the
Certificate Account shall be held in trust for the Certificateholders until withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.8. 
  

	 	(c)	 	The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Distribution Account. The Distribution Account shall consist of two separate subaccounts, each of
which shall relate to a particular Mortgage Pool. The 

  

 52 







Table of Contents


 Trustee shall, promptly upon receipt, deposit in the Distribution Account and retain therein the
following: 
  

	 	(i)	 	the aggregate amount remitted by the Master Servicer to the Trustee in respect of a Mortgage Pool pursuant to Section 3.8(a)(ix); 

  

	 	(ii)	 	any amount deposited by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.5(c) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments; and 

  

	 	(iii)	 	any other amounts deposited hereunder which are required to be deposited in the Distribution Account. 

  
 In the event that the Master Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted, it may at any time
direct the Trustee to withdraw such amount from the applicable subaccount of the Distribution Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such direction may be accomplished by delivering an Officer’s Certificate to the
Trustee which describes the amounts deposited in error in the Distribution Account. All funds deposited in the Distribution Account shall be held by the Trustee in trust for the related Certificateholders until disbursed in accordance with this
Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.8. In no event shall the Trustee incur liability for withdrawals from the Distribution Account at the direction of the Master Servicer. 
  

	 	(iv)	 	The institutions at which the Certificate Account and the Distribution Account are maintained shall invest funds as directed by the Master Servicer in Permitted Investments which in
both cases shall mature not later than (i) in the case of the Certificate Account, the second Business Day next preceding the related Distribution Account Deposit Date (except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution
that maintains such account, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than the Business Day next preceding such Distribution Account Deposit Date) and (ii) in the case of the Distribution Account, the Business Day next preceding the
Distribution Date (except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution that maintains such fund or account, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than such Distribution Date) and, in each case, 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 of funds on
deposit in the Certificate Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer as servicing compensation and all income and gain net of any losses realized from any such investment of funds on deposit in the Distribution Account shall be for the
benefit of the Trustee. The amount of any Realized Losses in the Certificate Account in respect of any such investments shall promptly be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Certificate Account and the amount of any Realized Losses in the
Distribution Account in respect of any such investments shall promptly be 

  

 53 







Table of Contents


 deposited by the Trustee into the Distribution Account. All reinvestment income earned on amounts on
deposit in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the Trustee. The Trustee in its fiduciary capacity shall not be liable for the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any investment or lack of investment of funds held in the
Certificate Account and made in accordance with this Section 3.5. 
  

	 	(v)	 	The Master Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Seller, MBIA, each Rating Agency and the Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the Certificate Account prior
to any change thereof. The Trustee shall give notice to the Master Servicer, the Seller, MBIA, each Rating Agency and the Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the Distribution Account prior to any change thereof.


  
 
SECTION 3.6 Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow Accounts. 
  

	 	(a)	 	To the extent required by the related Mortgage Note and not violative of current law, 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. 

  

	 	(b)	 	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 pursuant to Sections 3.1 hereof (with respect to taxes and assessments and insurance premiums) and 3.9 hereof (with respect to
hazard insurance), to refund to any Mortgagors any sums determined to be overages, to pay interest, if required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note, to 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 9.1 hereof. The Escrow Accounts shall not be a part of the Trust Fund. 

  

	 	(c)	 	The Master Servicer shall advance any payments referred to in Section 3.6(a) that are not timely paid by the Mortgagors on the date when the tax, premium or other cost for which
such payment is intended is due, but the Master Servicer shall be required so to advance only to the extent that such advances, in the good faith judgment of the Master Servicer, will be recoverable by the Master Servicer out of Insurance Proceeds,
Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise.

SECTION 3.7 Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Mortgage Loans. 
  
 The Master Servicer shall afford the Depositor and the Trustee reasonable access to all records and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans and all
accounts, insurance information and other matters relating to this Agreement, such access being afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the office designated by the Master Servicer. 

 
 Upon reasonable advance notice in writing, the Master Servicer will
provide to each Certificateholder which is a savings and loan association, bank or insurance company certain reports and reasonable access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans sufficient to permit such Certificateholder to
comply with applicable regulations of the OTS or other regulatory authorities with respect to investment in the Certificates; provided that the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by each such Certificateholder for actual expenses
incurred by the Master Servicer in providing such reports and access. 
  
 
SECTION 3.8 Permitted Withdrawals from the Certificate Account and Distribution Account. 
  

	 	(a)	 	The Master Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the applicable subaccount of the Certificate Account for the following purposes: 

  

	 	(i)	 	to the extent not previously retained by the Master Servicer, to pay to First Horizon the Retained Yield and to pay to the Master Servicer the master servicing compensation to which
it is entitled pursuant to Section 3.14, and earnings on or investment income with respect to funds in or credited to the Certificate Account as additional master servicing compensation; 

  

	 	(ii)	 	to the extent not previously retained by the Master Servicer, to reimburse the Master Servicer for unreimbursed Advances made by it in respect of the related Mortgage Pool, such
right of reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the Mortgage Loan(s) in respect of which any such Advance was made; 

  

	 	(iii)	 	to reimburse the Master Servicer for any Nonrecoverable Advance previously made in respect of the related Mortgage Pool; 

  

	 	(iv)	 	to reimburse the Master Servicer for Insured Expenses from the related Insurance Proceeds in respect of the related Mortgage Pool; 

  

	 	(v)	 	to reimburse the Master Servicer for (a) unreimbursed Servicing Advances in respect of the related Mortgage Pool, the Master Servicer’s right to reimbursement pursuant to this
clause (a) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to amounts received on such Mortgage Loan(s) which represent late recoveries of the payments for which such advances were made pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 3.6 and (b) for unpaid
Master Servicing Fees as provided in Section 3.11 hereof; 

  

 55 







Table of Contents



	 	(vi)	 	to pay to the Seller, with respect to each Mortgage Loan in respect of the related Mortgage Pool or property acquired in respect thereof that has been purchased pursuant to Section
2.2, 2.3 or 3.11, all amounts received thereon after the date of such purchase; 

  

	 	(vii)	 	to reimburse the Seller, the Master Servicer or the Depositor for expenses incurred by any of them and reimbursable pursuant to Section 6.3 hereof; 

  

	 	(viii)	 	to withdraw any amount deposited in the Certificate Account and not required to be deposited therein; 

  

	 	(ix)	 	on or prior to the Distribution Account Deposit Date, to withdraw an amount equal to the related Available Funds, the Trustee Fee and the MBIA Premium for such Distribution Date and
remit such amount to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account; and 

  

	 	(x)	 	to clear and terminate the Certificate Account upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof. 

  
 The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate
accounting, on a Mortgage Loan-by-Mortgage Loan basis and on a Mortgage Pool-by-Mortgage Pool basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Certificate Account pursuant to such subclauses (i), (ii), (iv), (v) and (vi). Prior to making
any withdrawal from the Certificate 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 determined by the Master
Servicer to be a Nonrecoverable Advance and identifying the related Mortgage Loans(s), and their respective portions of such Nonrecoverable Advance. 
  
 The Master Servicer shall distribute the Retained Yield, if any, to First Horizon on each Distribution Account Deposit Date during the
term of this Agreement. 
  

	 	(b)	 	The Trustee shall withdraw funds from the applicable subaccount of the Distribution Account for distributions to the related Certificateholders in the manner specified in this
Agreement (and to withhold from the amounts so withdrawn, the amount of any taxes that it is authorized to withhold pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 8.11). In addition, the Trustee may (and with respect to clause (ii) below, shall), prior
to making the distribution pursuant to Section 4.2 from time to time make withdrawals from the Distribution Account for the following purposes: 

  

	 	(i)	 	to pay to itself the Trustee Fee for the related Distribution Date; 

  

	 	(ii)	 	to pay the MBIA Premium to MBIA for the related Distribution Date; 

  

	 	(iii)	 	to pay to itself earnings on or investment income with respect to funds in the Distribution Account; 

  

 56 







Table of Contents



	 	(iv)	 	to withdraw and return to the Master Servicer any amount deposited in the Distribution Account and not required to be deposited therein; and 

  

	 	(v)	 	to clear and terminate the Distribution Account upon termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof. 

  
 
SECTION 3.9 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance; Maintenance of Primary Insurance Policies. 
  

	 	(a)	 	The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained, for each Mortgage Loan, hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount that is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the
maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the greater of (y) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (z) an amount such that the proceeds of such policy shall be sufficient to prevent the
Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. Each such policy of standard hazard insurance shall contain, or have an accompanying endorsement that contains, a standard mortgagee clause. 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 amounts released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Master Servicer’s normal servicing procedures) shall be
deposited in the applicable subaccount of the Certificate 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 3.8 hereof. 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 original principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the replacement value of the improvements which are part of such Mortgaged Property, and (iii) the maximum amount of such insurance available
for the related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program. 

  

	 	(b)	 	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, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause on terms substantially equivalent to those commercially available and


  

 57 







Table of Contents


 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, and there shall have been a loss that would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the
applicable subaccount of the Certificate Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as Master 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. 
  

	 	(c)	 	The Master Servicer shall not take any action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Master
Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The Master Servicer shall not cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary Insurance Policy that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the Certificates and is required to be kept in force
hereunder unless the replacement Primary Insurance Policy for such canceled or non-renewed policy is maintained with a Qualified Insurer. 

  
 The Master Servicer shall not be required to maintain any Primary Insurance Policy (i) with respect to any Mortgage Loan with a Loan-to-Value Ratio less
than or equal to 80% as of any date of determination or, based on a new appraisal, the principal balance of such Mortgage Loan represents 80% or less of the new appraised value or (ii) if maintaining such Primary Insurance Policy is prohibited by
applicable law. 
  
 The Master Servicer agrees to effect the
timely payment of the premiums on each Primary Insurance Policy, and such costs not otherwise recoverable shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer from the related liquidation proceeds. 
  

	 	(d)	 	In connection with its activities as Master Servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to present on behalf of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims to
the insurer under any Primary Insurance Policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Insurance Policies respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Any amounts collected by the
Master Servicer under any Primary Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the applicable subaccount of the Certificate Account. 

  
 
SECTION 3.10 Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements. 
  

	 	(a)	 	Except as otherwise provided in this Section, when any property subject to a Mortgage has been 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 

  

 58 







Table of Contents


 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 3.10(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 3.10(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 by reason of any transfer or assumption which the Master Servicer reasonably believes it is restricted by law from preventing, for any reason
whatsoever. 
  

	 	(b)	 	Subject to the Master Servicer’s duty to enforce any due-on-sale clause to the extent set forth in Section 3.10(a) hereof, 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 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 may
be changed. In addition, the substitute Mortgagor and the Mortgaged Property must be acceptable to the Master Servicer in accordance with its underwriting standards as then in effect. Together with each such substitution, assumption or other
agreement or instrument delivered to the Trustee for execution by it, the Master Servicer shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the requirements of this subsection have been met in connection
therewith. The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution or assumption 

  

 59 







Table of Contents


 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 3.11 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; Repurchase of Certain Mortgage Loans. 
  
 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 meet the requirements of the insurer under any Required Insurance Policy; provided, however, 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 Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the
Certificate Account). The Master Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the liquidation proceeds with respect
to the related Mortgaged Property, as provided in the definition of Liquidation Proceeds. If the Master Servicer has knowledge that a Mortgaged Property which the Master Servicer is contemplating acquiring in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of
foreclosure is located within a 1 mile radius of any site listed in the Expenditure Plan for the Hazardous Substance Clean Up Bond Act of 1984 or other 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 Trust Fund for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, or its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall ensure that the title to such REO Property references the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Fund’s capacity
thereunder. 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
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 
  

 60 







Table of Contents


 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 Certificate Account no later than the close of business on each Determination Date. The Master Servicer shall perform the tax reporting and withholding required by Sections 1445 and
6050J of the Code with respect to foreclosures and abandonments, the tax reporting required by Section 6050H of the Code with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest from individuals and any tax reporting required by Section 6050P of the Code
with respect to the cancellation of indebtedness by certain financial entities, by preparing such tax and information returns as may be required, in the form required, and delivering the same to the Trustee for filing. 
  
 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 the close of the third taxable year after the taxable year of its acquisition by the Trust Fund
unless the Trustee and MBIA shall have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel 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 any REMIC hereunder as defined in Section 860F of the Code or cause any REMIC created hereunder 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 REMIC hereunder 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. 
  
 In the event of a default on a Mortgage Loan one or more of whose obligor is not a United States Person, as that term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of
the Code, in connection with any foreclosure or acquisition of a deed in lieu of foreclosure (together, “foreclosure”) in respect of such Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will cause compliance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.1445-2(d)(3) (or any successor thereto) necessary to assure that no withholding tax obligation arises with respect to the proceeds of such foreclosure except to the extent, if any, that proceeds of such foreclosure are required to be
remitted to the obligors on such Mortgage Loan. 
  
 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 REO Properties, 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 Master Servicing Fees, Advances and
Servicing Advances, 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 this Agreement, to be payments on account of principal and interest on the 
  

 61 







Table of Contents


 related Mortgage Notes and shall be deposited into the applicable subaccount of the Certificate Account. To the extent
the net income received during any calendar month is in excess of the amount attributable to amortizing principal and accrued interest at the related Mortgage Rate on the related Mortgage Loan for such calendar month, such excess shall be considered
to be a partial prepayment of principal of the related Mortgage Loan. 
  
 The proceeds from any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, as well as 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 Master Servicing Fees; second, to reimburse the Master Servicer for any unreimbursed Advances; third, to reimburse the applicable subaccount of the Certificate Account for any Nonrecoverable Advances (or portions thereof) that were previously
withdrawn by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.8(a)(iii) that related to such Mortgage Loan; fourth, to accrued and unpaid interest (to the extent no Advance has been made for such amount or any such Advance has been reimbursed) on the
Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, at the Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate to the Due Date occurring in the month in which such amounts are required to be distributed; and fifth, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. Excess Proceeds, if
any, from the liquidation of a Liquidated Mortgage Loan will be retained by the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation pursuant to Section 3.14. 
  

The Master Servicer, with the consent of the Trustee, shall have the right to purchase for its own account from the Trust Fund any Mortgage Loan which
is 91 days or more delinquent at a price equal to the Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the applicable subaccount of the Certificate Account and the Trustee, upon receipt of a

Aggregate NAS 2 Priority Amount for such Distribution Date, until their Class Certificate Balance has been reduced to zero. 
  

	 	(c)	 	Amounts allocated to the Senior Certificates corresponding to Pool II pursuant to Section 4.2(a)(iii) will be distributed to the Class II-A-1 Certificates until their Class
Certificate Balance has been reduced to zero. 

  

	 	(d)	 	On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute to the Holders of the Class I-A-RU and Class I-A-RL Certificates any Available Funds remaining in the related REMIC created
hereunder for such Distribution Date after application of all amounts described in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 4.2 and the reimbursement of amounts due to MBIA as the insurer of the Insured Retail Certificates are paid to MBIA on such
Distribution Date. Any distributions pursuant to this subsection (d) shall not reduce the respective Class Certificate Balances of the Class I-A-RU and Class I-A-RL Certificates. 

  

	 	(e)	 	On and after the Cross-Over Date, the amount distributable to the Senior Certificates of the related Certificate Group pursuant to Section 4.2(a)(iii) for the related Distribution
Date shall be allocated among the related Classes of Senior Certificates, pro rata, on the basis of their respective Class Certificate Balances immediately prior to such Distribution Date, regardless of the priorities and amounts set forth in
Section 4.2. 

  

	 	(f)	 	If on any Distribution Date (i) the Class Certificate Balance of any Class of Subordinated Certificates (other than the Class of Subordinated Certificates with the highest priority
of distribution) for which the related Class Prepayment Distribution Trigger was satisfied on such Distribution Date is reduced to zero and (ii) amounts distributable to such Class or Classes of Subordinated Certificates pursuant to clauses (2), (3)
and (5) of the applicable Subordinated Optimal Principal Amount remain undistributed on such Distribution Date after all amounts otherwise distributable on such date pursuant to clauses (iv) through (x) of Section 4.2(a) have been distributed, such
amounts, to the extent of such Class’ remaining Allocable Share, shall be distributed on such Distribution Date to the remaining Classes of Subordinated Certificates on a pro rata basis, subject to the priority of payments described in Section
4.2(a). 

  

	 	(g)	 	In the event that in any calendar month the Master Servicer recovers an amount (an “Unanticipated Recovery”) in respect of principal of a Mortgage Loan which had
previously been allocated as a Realized Loss to any Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.4, on the Distribution Date in the next succeeding calendar month the Trustee, subject to MBIA’s subrogation rights, shall withdraw from the
Distribution Account and distribute to the Holders of each outstanding Class to 

  

 76 







Table of Contents


 which such Realized Loss had previously been allocated its share (determined as described in the
succeeding paragraph) of such Unanticipated Recovery in an amount not to exceed the amount of such Realized Loss previously allocated to such Class. When the Class Certificate Balance of a Class of Certificates has been reduced to zero, the Holders
of such Class shall not be entitled to any share of an Unanticipated Recovery, and such Unanticipated Recovery shall be allocated among all outstanding Classes of Certificates entitled thereto in accordance with the preceding sentence, subject to
the remainder of this subsection (g). In the event that (i) any Unanticipated Recovery remains undistributed in accordance with the preceding sentence or (ii) the amount of an Unanticipated Recovery exceeds the amount of the Realized Loss previously
allocated to any outstanding Classes with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, on the applicable Distribution Date the Trustee shall distribute to the Holders of all outstanding Classes of the related Certificates to which Realized Losses had
previously been allocated and not reimbursed their pro rata share (determined as described below) of such excess in an amount not to exceed the aggregate amount of any Realized Loss previously allocated to such Class with respect to any other
Mortgage Loan that has not been recovered in accordance with this subsection (g). Any distributions made pursuant to this subsection (g) shall not reduce the Class Certificate Balance of the related Certificate. Any distributions made pursuant to
this subsection (g) shall not be deemed to be a distribution of principal in reduction of the Class Certificate Balance of the related Certificate. 
  
 For purposes of the preceding paragraph, the share of an Unanticipated Recovery allocable to any Class of Certificates with respect to a
Mortgage Loan shall be based on its pro rata share (in proportion to the Class Certificate Balances thereof with respect to such Distribution Date) of the principal portion of any such Realized Loss previously allocated with respect to such Mortgage
Loan (or Loans). 
  

	 	(h)	 	On any Distribution Date on which any Certificate Group constitutes an Undercollateralized Group, all amounts otherwise distributable as principal on the Subordinated Certificates,
in reverse order of priority (or, following the Cross-over Date, such other amounts described in the immediately following sentence), will be distributed as principal to the Senior Certificates of such Undercollateralized Group in accordance with
the priorities set forth in Sections 4.2(b) and (c), until the total Class Certificate Balance of such Senior Certificates equals the Pool Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Pool, and then to MBIA any reimbursement amounts due MBIA (such
distribution, an “Undercollateralization Distribution”). If the Senior Certificates of a Certificate Group constitute an Undercollateralized Group on any Distribution Date following the Cross-over Date, Undercollateralization Distributions
will be made from the excess of the Available Funds for the other Mortgage Pool remaining after all required amounts for that Distribution Date have been distributed to the Senior Certificates of the other Certificate Group and to MBIA with respect
to the Group I Senior Certificates. In addition, the amount of any unpaid Net Interest Shortfalls with respect to an Undercollateralized Group (including any Net Interest Shortfalls for the related Distribution Date) will be distributed to the

Table of Contents


 Senior Certificates of the Undercollateralized Group prior to the payment of any Undercollateralization
Distributions from amounts otherwise distributable as principal on the Subordinated Certificates, in reverse order of priority (or, following the Cross-over Date, as provided in the preceding sentence). 
  
 In addition, if on any Distribution Date the total Class Certificate Balance
of the Senior Certificates of a Certificate Group (after giving effect to distributions to be made on that Distribution Date) has been reduced to zero, all amounts otherwise distributable as prepayments of principal to the Subordinated Certificates,
in reverse order of priority, will instead be distributed as principal to the Senior Certificates of the other Certificate Group, and then to MBIA any reimbursement amounts due MBIA unless (a) the weighted average of the Subordinated Percentages for
both Mortgage Pools, weighted on the basis of the stated principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Pool, is at least two times the weighted average of the initial Subordinate Percentage for both Mortgage Pools (calculated on
such basis) and (b) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all of the Mortgage Loans in both Mortgage Pools delinquent 60 days or more (including for this purpose any such Mortgage Loans in foreclosure or subject to bankruptcy proceedings and
Mortgage Loans with respect to which the related Mortgaged Property has been acquired by the Trust Fund), averaged over the preceding six month period, as a percentage of the then current aggregate Class Certificate Balance of the Subordinated
Certificates, is less than 50%. All distributions described above will be made in accordance with the priorities set forth in Sections 4.2(b) and (c). 
  
 
SECTION 4.3 Method of Distribution. 
  

	 	(a)	 	Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.8, all distributions with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be made pro rata among the outstanding
Certificates of such Class, based on the Percentage Interest in such Class represented by each Certificate. Payments to the Certificateholders on each Distribution Date will be made by the Trustee to the Certificateholders of record on the related
Record Date by check or money order mailed to a Certificateholder at the address appearing in the Certificate Register, or upon written request by such Certificateholder to the Trustee made not later than the applicable Record Date, by wire transfer
to a U.S. depository institution acceptable to the Trustee, or by such other means of payment as such Certificateholder and the Trustee shall agree. Payment to MBIA shall be by means of payment acceptable to MBIA. 

  

	 	(b)	 	Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the Depository, which shall credit the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its Depository
Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each financial intermediary for which it acts as agent. Each
such financial intermediary shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the Certificate Owners that it represents. All such credits and disbursements with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate are to be made by the Depository and the


  

 78 







Table of Contents


 Depository Participants in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Certificates. Neither the
Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by applicable law. 
  

	 	(c)	 	The Trustee shall withhold or cause to be withheld such amounts as it reasonably determines are required by the Code (giving full effect to any exemptions from withholding and
related certifications required to be furnished by Certificateholders or Certificate Owners and any reductions to withholding by virtue of any bilateral tax treaties and any applicable certification required to be furnished by Certificateholders or
Certificate Owners with respect thereto) from distributions to be made to Non-U.S. Persons. If the Trustee reasonably determines that a more accurate determination of the amount required to be withheld for a distribution can be made within a
reasonable period after the scheduled date for such distribution, it may hold such distribution in trust for a Holder of a Residual Certificate until such determination can be made. For the purposes of this paragraph, a “Non-U.S. Person”
is (i) an individual other than a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a partnership, corporation or entity treated as a partnership or corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes not formed under the laws of the United States, any
state thereof or the District of Columbia (unless, in the case of a partnership, Treasury regulations provide otherwise), (iii) any estate, the income of which is not subject to U.S. federal income taxation, regardless of source, and (iv) any trust,
other than a trust that a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. Persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust.


  
 
SECTION 4.4 Allocation of Losses. 
  

	 	(a)	 	On or prior to each Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall determine the amount of any Realized Loss in respect of each Mortgage Loan that occurred during the immediately
preceding calendar month. 

  

	 	(b)	 	With respect to any Distribution Date, the principal portion of each Realized Loss (other than any Excess Loss) shall be allocated in the following order of priority:


  
 first, to the Class B-6 Certificates
until the Class Certificate Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; 
  
 second, to the Class B-5 Certificates until the Class Certificate Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; 
  
 third, to the Class B-4 Certificates until the Class Certificate Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; 
  
 fourth, to the Class B-3 Certificates until the Class Certificate
Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; 
  

 79 







Table of Contents


 fifth, to the Class B-2 Certificates until the Class Certificate Balance thereof has been reduced
to zero; 
  
 sixth, to the Class B-1 Certificates until
the Class Certificate Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; 
  
 seventh, to the Classes of Senior Certificates of the related Certificate Group, pro rata, in accordance with their Class Certificate Balance; provided, that the principal portion of any Realized Loss allocable to the Class I-A-22
Certificates shall instead be allocated to the Class I-A-21 Certificates until the Class Certificate Balance thereof has been reduced to zero. 
  

	 	(c)	 	With respect to any Distribution Date, the principal portion of any Excess Loss with respect to a Mortgage Pool (other than Excess Bankruptcy Losses attributable to Debt Service
Reductions) shall be allocated pro rata to each Class of Certificates of the related Certificate Group based on their respective Class Certificate Balances (in the case of the Senior Certificates). 

  

	 	(d)	 	Any Realized Losses allocated to a Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.4(b) or (c) shall be allocated among the Certificates of such Class in proportion to their respective
Certificate Principal Balances. Any allocation of Realized Losses pursuant to this paragraph (d) shall be accomplished by reducing the Certificate Principal Balances of the related Certificates on the related Distribution Date in accordance with
Section 4.4(e). 

  

	 	(e)	 	Realized Losses allocated in accordance with this Section 4.4 shall be allocated on the Distribution Date in the month following the month in which such loss was incurred and, in
the case of the principal portion thereof, after giving effect to the distributions made on such Distribution Date On each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall determine the Subordinated Certificate Writedown Amount, if any. Any such
Subordinated Certificate Writedown Amount shall effect, without duplication of any other provision in this Section 4.4 that provides for a reduction in the Class Certificate Balance of the Subordinated Certificates, a corresponding reduction in the
Class Certificate Balance of the Subordinated Certificates, which reduction shall occur on such Distribution Date after giving effect to distributions made on such Distribution Date. 

  

	 	(f)	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such allocation of any Realized Loss shall be made on a Distribution Date to a Class of Certificates to the extent that such allocation would
result in the reduction of the aggregate Certificate Principal Balances of all the Senior Certificates of a related Certificate Group as of such Distribution Date plus the Apportioned Principal Balances of the Subordinated Certificates of such
Certificate Group as of such Distribution Date, after giving effect to all distributions and prior allocations of Realized Losses on such date, to an amount less than the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related
Mortgage Pool as of the first day of the month of such

	 	(d)	 	Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Trustee shall cause to be furnished to each Person who at any time during the calendar year was a
Certificateholder, a statement containing the information set forth in clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii) and (a)(vii) of this Section 4.6 aggregated for such calendar year or applicable portion thereof during which such Person was a Certificateholder. Such
obligation of the Trustee shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Trustee pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from time to time in effect.


  
 
SECTION 4.7 Reserve Fund. 
  
 No later
than the Closing Date, the Trustee will establish and maintain with itself a segregated trust account that is an Eligible Account, which shall be titled “Reserve Fund, The Bank of New York, as Trustee for the registered Holders of First Horizon
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2003-7, Class I-A-4.” Amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund shall be held by the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Insured Retail Certificates, but such amounts shall not
constitute part of the Trust Fund. On the Closing Date, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated shall deposit with the Trustee, and the Trustee shall deposit the Reserve Fund Deposit into the Reserve Fund. The Reserve Fund will be beneficially owned
by Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and will not be an asset of the Trust Fund. The Trustee will make withdrawals of amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund (each, a “Reserve Fund Withdrawal”), to the extent funds are available in the
Reserve Fund, on each Distribution Date to cover any Net Interest Shortfalls (other than any interest shortfalls resulting from Relief Act Reductions and Net Prepayment Interest Shortfalls) allocated to the Insured Retail Certificates. Any amount
remaining on deposit in the Reserve Fund on the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balance of the Insured Retail Certificates has been reduced to zero will be distributed to Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated. 
  
 For federal income tax purposes, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated shall
be the owner of the Reserve Fund and shall report all items of income, deduction, gain or loss arising therefrom. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Reserve Fund shall not be an asset of the REMIC created hereunder. The Reserve
Fund shall be invested in Permitted Investments at the written direction of the Master Servicer. The Trustee shall have no liability for investment losses in Permitted Investments in accordance with the instructions of the Master Servicer. All
income and gain realized from investment of funds deposited in the Reserve Fund shall be deposited in the Reserve Fund for the sole use and exclusive benefit of the Reserve Fund. The balance, if any, remaining in the Reserve Fund on the Distribution
Date on which the Class Certificate Balance of the Insured Retail Certificates is reduced to zero will be distributed by the Trustee to Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated. To the extent that the Reserve Fund constitutes a reserve fund for federal
income tax purposes, (1) it shall be an outside reserve fund and not an asset of the REMIC created hereunder, and (2) it shall be owned by Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, all within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(h) of the Treasury
Regulations.

SECTION 4.8 Principal Distributions on the Insured Retail Certificates. 
  

	 	(a)	 	Except as provided in subsections (d) and (f) below, on each Distribution Date on which distributions in reduction of the Class Certificate Balance of the Insured Retail
Certificates are made, such distributions will be made in the following order of priority: 

  

	 	(i)	 	first, in respect of any Principal Distribution Request by the personal representative of a Deceased Holder of such Certificates, a surviving tenant by the entirety, a
surviving joint tenant, a surviving tenant in common or such other Person empowered to act on behalf of such Deceased Holder upon his or her death, in an amount up to but not exceeding $100,000 per request; and 

  

	 	(ii)	 	second, in respect of any Principal Distribution Request by a Living Holder of such Certificates, in an amount up to but not exceeding $10,000 per request.


  
 Thereafter, distributions in
respect of such Certificates submitted on behalf of each Deceased Holder will be made as provided in clause (i) above up to a second $100,000 per request and distributions in respect of such Certificates submitted on behalf of each Living Holder
will be made as provided in clause (ii) above up to a second $10,000 per request. This sequence of priorities will be repeated until all such requests have been honored to the extent of amounts available for distribution in reduction of the Class
Certificate Balance of the Insured Retail Certificates. 
  
 Principal Distribution Requests presented on behalf of Deceased Holders in accordance with the provisions of clause (i) above will be accepted in the order of their receipt by the Depository. Principal Distribution
Requests presented in accordance with the provisions of clause (ii) above will be accepted in the order of their receipt by the Depository after all requests presented in accordance with clause (i) have been honored. All Principal Distribution
Requests with respect to any Distribution Date shall be made in accordance with Section 4.8(c) below and must be received by the Depository no later than the close of business on the related Record Date. Principal Distribution Requests that are
received by the Depository after the related Record Date and requests, in either case, for distributions timely received but not accepted with respect to any Distribution Date, will be treated as Principal Distribution Requests on the next
succeeding Distribution Date, and each succeeding Distribution Date thereafter, until each such request is accepted or is withdrawn as provided in Section 4.8(c). Requests on behalf of Deceased Holders that are not so withdrawn shall retain their
order of priority, all in accordance with the procedures of the Depository and the Trustee. Upon the transfer of beneficial ownership of any Insured Retail Certificate, any Principal Distribution Request previously submitted with respect to such
Certificate will be deemed to have been withdrawn only upon the receipt by the Trustee of notification of such withdrawal using a form required by the Depository. 
  

 84 







Table of Contents


 Principal Distribution Requests for the Insured Retail Certificates will be applied, in
the aggregate, in an amount equal to the portion of the Available Funds distributable to such Certificates pursuant to Sections 4.2(b)(ii) and (v), plus any amounts available for distribution from the Rounding Account pursuant to paragraph (e),
provided that the aggregate distribution in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of the Insured Retail Certificates on any Distribution Date shall be made in an integral multiple of $1,000, subject to Section 4.8(f). 
  

	 	(b)	 	A “Deceased Holder” is a beneficial owner of an Insured Retail Certificate who was living at the time such interest was acquired and whose authorized personal
representative, surviving tenant by the entirety, surviving joint tenant or surviving tenant in common or other Person empowered to act on behalf of such beneficial owner upon his or her death, causes to be furnished to the Trustee a certified copy
of the death certificate of such Deceased Holder, evidence of such person’s status as an authorized representative of the Deceased Holder, such as surviving tenant (whether by the entirety, joint tenancy or tenancy in common), which evidence
shall be satisfactory to the Trustee, and any additional evidence of death required by and satisfactory to the Trustee and any tax waivers requested by the Trustee. Insured Retail Certificates beneficially owned by tenants by the entirety, joint
tenants or tenants in common will be considered to be beneficially owned by a single owner. The death of a tenant by the entirety, joint tenant or tenant in common will be deemed to be the death of the beneficial owner, and any Insured Retail
Certificates so beneficially owned will be eligible for priority with respect to distributions in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of such Certificates, subject to the limitations contained in this Section 4.8. Insured Retail
Certificates beneficially owned by a trust will be considered to be beneficially owned by each beneficiary of the trust to the extent of such beneficiary’s beneficial interest therein, but in no event will a trust’s beneficiaries
collectively be deemed to be beneficial owners of a number of individual Insured Retail Certificates greater than the number of individual Insured Retail Certificates of which such trust is the beneficial owner. The death of a beneficiary of a trust
will be deemed to be the death of a beneficial owner of the Insured Retail Certificates beneficially owned by the trust to the extent of such beneficiary’s beneficial interest in such trust. The death of an individual who was a tenant by the
entirety, joint tenant or tenant in common in a tenancy that is the beneficiary of a trust will be deemed to be the death of the beneficiary of the trust. The death of a person who, immediately prior to his or her death, was entitled to
substantially all of the beneficial ownership interest in an Insured Retail Certificate will be deemed to be the death of the beneficial owner of such Certificate regardless of the registration of ownership of such Certificate, if such beneficial
ownership interest can be established to the satisfaction of the Trustee. The Trustee’s decision regarding whether a Deceased Holder’s beneficial interest is substantial for purposes of the preceding sentence shall be conclusive and
binding. Such beneficial interest will be deemed to exist in typical cases of street name or nominee ownership, ownership by a trustee, ownership under the applicable Uniform Gifts to Minors Act or Uniform Transfers to Minors Act, as the case may
be, and community property or other joint ownership arrangements between a husband and wife.

Table of Contents


 Beneficial interests shall include the power to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of an Insured Retail
Certificate, and the right to receive the proceeds therefrom, as well as interest and distributions in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of such Certificates payable with respect thereto. The Trustee shall not be under any duty to
determine independently the occurrence of the death of any beneficial owner. The Trustee may rely entirely upon documentation delivered to it in establishing the eligibility of any beneficial owner to receive the priority accorded Deceased Holders
in Section 4.8(a). Expenses incurred by the Trustee in an effort to determine the beneficial ownership interest with respect to any Principal Distribution Request presented on behalf of a Deceased Holder, including, without limitation, attorneys
fees, shall be paid by the Person presenting such Principal Distribution Request. 
  
 Requests for distributions in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of the Insured Retail Certificates must be made by delivering
a Principal Distribution Request therefor to the Depository Participant or Indirect Participant that maintains the account evidencing the beneficial owner’s interest in such Certificate. Such Depository Participant or Indirect Participant
should in turn make the request of the Depository (or, in the case of an Indirect Participant, such Indirect Participant should notify the related Depository Participant of such request, which Depository Participant should make the request of the
Depository) on a form required by the Depository and provided to the Depository Participant. In the case of a request on behalf of a Deceased Holder, a certified copy of the death certificate and any additional appropriate evidence of death and any
tax waivers must be forwarded to the Trustee under separate cover. Any such requests of Deceased Holders that are incomplete may not be honored by the Trustee and, if not honored, will lose their priority and must be resubmitted in proper form. Upon
receipt of such Principal Distribution Request, the Depository will date and time stamp such request and forward such request to the Trustee. Such requests will be honored on any Distribution Date only to the extent that they are received by the
Depository on or before the Record Date for such Distribution Date. The Depository may establish such procedures as it deems fair and equitable to establish the order of receipt of requests for such distributions received by it on the same day.
Principal Distribution Requests delivered to the Depository after the Record Date for a particular Distribution Date and requests received in a timely manner but not accepted with respect to a particular Distribution Date will be treated as
Principal Distribution Requests for the next succeeding Distribution Date and each succeeding Distribution Date thereafter until each request is accepted or is withdrawn as provided below. In the case of Principal Distribution Requests on behalf of
Living Holders, the Depository will establish a new order of priority for each Distribution Date. This order will apply both to previously unsatisfied Principal Distribution Requests and to newly submitted requests. A Principal Distribution Request
submitted on behalf of a Living Holder who later dies will become entitled to the priority of a newly submitted request on behalf of a Deceased Holder upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth above for requests of a Deceased Holder. Such
priority will be effective for each subsequent Distribution Date if the Trustee has received a certified copy of the death certificate for such Deceased Holder and any additional appropriate evidence of death and any requested tax waivers by the
last business day of the preceding calendar month. Each Principal Distribution Request submitted by a

 beneficial owner of a Insured Retail Certificate will be held by the Depository until such request has
been accepted or has been withdrawn in writing as provided herein. None of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, MBIA or the Depositor shall be liable for any delay in delivery of Principal Distribution Requests or Withdrawals (as defined below) of such
requests by the Depository, a Depository Participant or any Indirect Participant. 
  
 In the event that any Principal Distribution Requests are rejected by the Trustee for failure to comply with the requirements of this
Section 4.8, the Trustee shall return such requests to the appropriate Depository Participant with a copy to the Depository with an explanation as to the reason for such rejection. 
  
 The Trustee shall maintain a list of those Depository Participants representing the Certificate Owners of
Insured Retail Certificates that have submitted Principal Distribution Requests, together with the order of receipt and the amounts of such requests. The Trustee shall notify the Depository and the appropriate Depository Participants as to which
requests should be honored on each Distribution Date. Requests shall be honored by the Depository in accordance with the procedures, and subject to the priorities and limitations, described in this Section 4.8. The exact procedures to be followed by
the Trustee and the Depository for purposes of determining such priorities and limitations shall be those established from time to time by the Trustee or the Depository, as the case may be. The decisions of the Trustee and the Depository concerning
such matters shall be final and binding on all affected Persons. 
  
 Any beneficial owner of an Insured Retail Certificate that has made a Principal Distribution Request may withdraw its request by so notifying in writing the Depository Participant or Indirect Participant that
maintains such beneficial owner’s account (each such withdrawal, a “Withdrawal”). The Depository Participant should forward the Withdrawal to the Depository on a form required by the Depository. In the event that such account is
maintained by an Indirect Participant, such Indirect Participant should notify the related Depository Participant which in turn should forward the Withdrawal of such request, on a form required by the Depository, to the Depository. If such
Withdrawal has not been received by the Depository and forwarded to the Trustee on or before the Record Date for the next Distribution Date, the previously made Principal Distribution Request will be irrevocable with respect to the making of
distributions in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of such Certificate on such Distribution Date. 
  

	 	(c)	 	To the extent, if any, that amounts available for distribution in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of the Insured Retail Certificates on a Distribution Date pursuant
to Section 4.2 exceed the dollar amount of Principal Distribution Requests that have been received in respect of such Certificates by the related Record Date, as provided in this Section 4.8(c), distributions in reduction of the Certificate
Principal Balance of such Certificates will be made by mandatory distributions on a Random Lot basis, in integral multiples equal to $1,000, in reduction thereof without regard to whether such Certificate Owners have submitted Principal Distribution
Requests. The Trustee shall notify the Depository of the aggregate amount of the mandatory distribution by Random Lot 

  

 87 







Table of Contents


 in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of such Certificates to be made on the next
Distribution Date. The Depository shall then allocate such aggregate amount among its Depository Participants on a Random Lot basis. Each Depository Participant and, in turn, each Indirect Participant, will then select, in accordance with its own
procedures, Insured Retail Certificates from among those held in its accounts to receive mandatory distributions in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of such Certificates, such that the total amount so selected is equal to the aggregate
amount of such mandatory distributions allocated to such Depository Participant by the Depository and to such Indirect Participant by its related Depository Participant, as the case may be. Depository Participants and Indirect Participants that hold
Insured Retail Certificates selected for mandatory distributions in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance thereof should provide notice of such mandatory distributions to the affected Certificate Owners. 
  

	 	(d)	 	No later than the Closing Date, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated will establish and maintain with the Trustee a segregated trust account that is an Eligible Account, which
shall be titled “Rounding Account, The Bank of New York, as Trustee for the registered Holders of First Horizon Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2003-7, Class I-A-4.” On the Closing Date, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated
shall deposit with the Trustee, and the Trustee shall deposit into the Rounding Account, cash in an amount equal to $999.99. Amounts held in the Rounding Account shall not be invested in any investment which produces income. The Rounding Account
will be included in the Lower REMIC. 

  
 On each Distribution Date on which a distribution is to be made in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of the Insured Retail Certificates pursuant to Section 4.2, funds on deposit in the Rounding Account shall be, to the extent
needed, withdrawn by the Trustee and applied to round upward to an integral multiple of $1,000 the aggregate distribution in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance to be made thereon. Rounding of such distribution on the Insured Retail
Certificates shall be accomplished, on the first such Distribution Date, by withdrawing from the Rounding Account the amount of funds, if any, needed to round the amount otherwise available for such distribution in reduction of the Certificate
Principal Balance of such Certificates upward to the next integral multiple of $1,000. On each succeeding Distribution Date on which distributions in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of the Insured Retail Certificates are to be made
pursuant to Section 4.2, the aggregate amount of such distributions allocable to such Certificates shall be applied first to repay any funds withdrawn from the Rounding Account and not previously repaid, and then the remainder of such allocable
amount, if any, shall be similarly rounded upward to the next integral multiple of $1,000 and applied as distributions in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of the Insured Retail Certificates; this process shall continue on succeeding
principal Distribution Dates prior to the earlier to occur of the Cross-over Date and the next Distribution Date after the Distribution Date on which the principal portion of any Realized Loss is 
  

 88 







Table of Contents


 allocated to the Insured Retail Certificates until the Class Certificate Balance thereof has been reduced
to zero. On the earlier of (1) the next Distribution Date after the Distribution Date on which the principal portion of any Realized Loss is allocated to the Insured Retail Certificates and MBIA defaults in its obligation to make a payment under the
MBIA Policy and (2) the first Distribution Date after the Certificate Principal Balance of the Insured Retail Certificates has been reduced to zero, any remaining amounts in the related Rounding Account shall be distributed to the Holders of the
Class A-RL Certificates. 
  

	 	(e)	 	Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, on each Distribution Date coinciding with the next Distribution Date after the Distribution Date on which the principal
portion of any Realized Loss is allocated to the Insured Retail Certificates and MBIA defaults in its obligation to make a payment under the MBIA Policy, all distributions in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of the Insured Retail
Certificates will be made among the Holders and Certificate Owners of such Certificates, pro rata, based on their Certificate Principal Balances, and will not be made in integral multiples of $1,000 or pursuant to requested distributions or
mandatory distributions by Random Lot. 

  

	 	(f)	 	In the event that Definitive Certificates representing the Insured Retail Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 5.2(e) (other than Section 5.2(e)(z)), all requests for
distributions or withdrawals of such requests relating to such Certificates must be submitted in writing to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall perform the functions described in Section 4.8(a) through (d) using its own procedures, which procedures
shall, to the extent practicable, be consistent with the procedures described in Section 4.8(a) through (d). In the event that Definitive Certificates representing the Insured Retail Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 5.2(e), all
distributions of principal shall be made pro rata in accordance with Section 4.8(f). 

  
 
SECTION 4.9 Determination of Pass-Through Rates for LIBOR Certificates. 
  

	 	(a)	 	On each Interest Determination Date so long as any LIBOR Certificates are outstanding, the Trustee will determine LIBOR on the basis of the British Bankers’ Association
(“BBA”) “Interest Settlement Rate” for one-month deposits in U.S. dollars as found on Telerate page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m. London time on each LIBOR Determination Date. Interest Settlement Rates currently are based on rates quoted
by sixteen BBA designated banks as being, in the view of such banks, the offered rate at which deposits are being quoted to prime banks in the London interbank market. Such Interest Settlement Rates are calculated by eliminating the four highest
rates and the four lowest rates, averaging the eight remaining rates, carrying the result (expressed as a percentage) out to six decimal places, and rounding to five decimal places. “Telerate Page 3750” means the display page currently so
designated on the Bridge Telerate Service (formerly the Dow Jones Markets) (or such other page as may replace that page on that service for the purpose of displaying comparable rates or prices.) 

  

	 	(b)	 	If LIBOR cannot be determined as provided in paragraph (A) of this Section 4.9, the Trustee shall either (i) request each Reference Bank to inform the Trustee of the quotation
offered by its principal London office for making one-month United 

  

 89 







Table of Contents


 States dollar deposits in leading banks in the London interbank market, as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on
such Interest Determination Date or (ii) in lieu of making any such request, rely on such Reference Bank quotations that appear at such time on the Reuters Screen LIBO Page (as defined in the International Swap Dealers Association Inc. Code of
Standard Wording, Assumptions and Provisions for Swaps, 1986 Edition), to the extent available. LIBOR for the next Interest Accrual Period will be established by the Trustee on each Interest Determination Date as follows: 
  

	 	(i)	 	If on any Interest Determination Date two or more Reference Banks provide such offered quotations, LIBOR for the next Interest Accrual Period shall be the arithmetic mean of such
offered quotations (rounding such arithmetic mean upwards if necessary to the nearest whole multiple of 1/32%). 

  

	 	(ii)	 	If on any Interest Determination Date only one or none of the Reference Banks provides such offered quotations, LIBOR for the next Interest Accrual Period shall be whichever is the
higher of (i) LIBOR as determined on the previous Interest Determination Date or (ii) the Reserve Interest Rate. The “Reserve Interest Rate” shall be the rate per annum which the Trustee determines to be either (i) the arithmetic mean
(rounded upwards if necessary to the nearest whole multiple of 1/32%) of the one-month United States dollar lending rates that New York City banks selected by the Trustee are quoting, on the relevant Interest Determination Date, to the principal
London offices of at least two of the Reference Banks to which such quotations are, in the opinion of the Trustee, being so made, or (ii) in the event that the Trustee can determine no such arithmetic mean, the lowest one-month United States dollar
lending rate which New York City banks selected by the Trustee are quoting on such Interest Determination Date to leading European banks. 

  

	 	(iii)	 	If on any Interest Determination Date the trustee is required but is unable to determine the Reserve Interest Rate in the manner provided in paragraph (b) above, LIBOR shall be
LIBOR as determined on the preceding Interest Determination Date. 

  
 Until all of the LIBOR Certificates are paid in full, the Trustee will at all times retain at least four Reference Banks for the purpose of determining LIBOR with respect to each Interest Determination Date. The
Master Servicer shall designate the Reference Banks. Each “Reference Bank” shall be a leading bank engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the international Eurocurrency market, shall not control, be controlled by, or be under
common control with, the Trustee and shall have an established place of business in London. If any such Reference Bank should be unwilling or unable to act as such or if the Master Servicer should terminate its appointment as Reference Bank, the
Master Servicer shall promptly appoint or cause to be appointed another Reference Bank. The Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility to any Person for (i) the selection of any Reference Bank for purposes of determining LIBOR or (ii) any

  

 90 







Table of Contents


 inability to retain at least four Reference Banks which is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control.

  

	 	(c)	 	The Pass-Through Rate for each Class of LIBOR Certificates for each Interest Accrual Period shall be determined by the Trustee on each Interest Determination Date so long as the
LIBOR Certificates are outstanding on the basis of LIBOR and the respective formulae appearing in footnotes corresponding to the LIBOR Certificates in the table relating to the Certificates in the Preliminary Statement. 

  
 In determining LIBOR, any Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR Certificates, any
Interest Settlement Rate, or any Reserve Interest Rate, the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in relying upon the offered quotations (whether written, oral or on the Dow Jones Markets) from the BBA designated banks, the Reference
Banks or the New York City banks as to LIBOR, the Interest Settlement Rate or the Reserve Interest Rate, as appropriate, in effect from time to time. The Trustee shall not have any liability or responsibility to any Person for (i) the Trustee’s
selection of New York City banks for purposes of determining any Reserve Interest Rate or (ii) its inability, following a good-faith reasonable effort, to obtain such quotations from, the BBA designated banks, the Reference Banks or the New York
City banks or to determine such arithmetic mean, all as provided for in this Section 4.9. 
  

	 	(d)	 	The establishment of LIBOR and each Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR Certificates by the Trustee shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final, conclusive and binding upon each
Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee. 

  
 
ARTICLE V 
 THE CERTIFICATES 
  
 
SECTION 5.1 The Certificates. 
  
 The
Certificates shall be substantially in the forms attached hereto as exhibits. The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form, in the minimum denominations, integral multiples in excess thereof (except that one Certificate in each Class may be
issued in a different amount which must be in excess of the applicable minimum denomination) and aggregate denominations per Class set forth in the Preliminary Statement. 
  
 Subject to Section 9.2 hereof respecting the final distribution on the Certificates, on each Distribution Date the Trustee
shall make distributions to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either (x) by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if
(i) such Holder has so notified the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date and (ii) such Holder shall hold (A) 100% of the Class Certificate Balance of any Class of Certificates or (B) Certificates of any Class with
aggregate principal Denominations of not less than $1,000,000 or (y) by check mailed by first class mail to such Certificateholder at the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register. 
  
 The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf
of the 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 
  

 91 







Table of Contents


 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 countersignature and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless
countersigned by 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 executed and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be
dated the date of their countersignature. On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall countersign the Certificates to be issued at the 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 5.2 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 5.6 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 execute and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest. 


 
 At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be
exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee. Whenever any Certificates
are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate, and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the 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 cancelled and subsequently
destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with the Trustee’s customary procedures. 
  

	 	(b)	 	No transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any


  

 92 







Table of Contents


 applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under said 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 in substantially the forms set forth in Exhibit I (the “Transferor Certificate”) and (i)
deliver a letter in substantially the form of either Exhibit J (the “Investment Letter”) or Exhibit K (the “Rule 144A Letter”) or (ii) there shall be delivered to the Trustee at the expense of the transferor an Opinion of Counsel
that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act. 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 and 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 an
ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee shall have received either (i) a representation from the transferee of such Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee (in the event such Certificate
is a Private Certificate, such requirement is satisfied only by the Trustee’s receipt of a representation letter from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit J or Exhibit K), to the effect that such transferee is not an employee
benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code, nor a person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement, nor using the assets of any such plan or arrangement to effect
such transfer, (ii) in the case of a Private Certificate or a Residual Certificate, if the purchaser is an insurance company, a representation that the purchaser is an insurance company which is purchasing such Certificates with funds contained in
an “insurance company general account” (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”)) and that the purchase and holding of such Certificates are covered under Sections I
and III of PTCE 95-60 or (iii) in the case of any such ERISA-Restricted Certificate presented for registration in the name of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA, or a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable
provisions of any subsequent enactments), or a trustee of any such plan or any other person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement, or using such plan’s or arrangement’s assets, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee,
which Opinion 
  

 93 







Table of Contents


 of Counsel shall not be an expense of either the Trustee or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee to
the effect that the purchase or holding of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate will not result in prohibited transactions under Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Trustee, the Depositor or the Master Servicer to
any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement or to any liability. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate to or on behalf of an employee benefit
plan subject to ERISA or to the Code without the delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee as described above shall be void and of no effect. 
  
 To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA), the Trustee shall be
under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.2(b) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other
action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements. 
  

	 	(c)	 	Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be
bound by the following provisions, and the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions: 

  

	 	(i)	 	Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the 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 H. 

  

	 	(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.


  

 94 







Table of Contents



	 	(iv)	 	Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.2(c) shall be absolutely null and void and
shall vest no rights in the purported Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.2(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to
all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The 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 5.2(b) and this Section 5.2(c) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was
registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit, Transferor Certificate and, in the case of a Residual Certificate which is also a Private Certificate, either the Rule 144A Letter or the Investment Letter. 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 Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon receipt 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 5.2(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable
portions of the legend on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers occurring after delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Seller
or the Master Servicer, to the effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding or result in the imposition of any tax on the
Trust Fund, a Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate hereby consents to any amendment of this Agreement which, based on an Opinion of Counsel furnished to the 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 which is held by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.

Table of Contents



	 	(d)	 	The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions referred to above in this Section 5.2 in connection with transfer shall be at the expense of the parties to such
transfers. 

  

	 	(e)	 	Except as provided below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all times: (i) registration of the
Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership and transfers of such Book-Entry
Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of registration of the Book-Entry Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary
fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee shall deal with the Depository, Depository Participants and indirect participating firms as representatives of the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates for
purposes of exercising the rights of holders under this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such representatives shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; and (vi) the
Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to indirect participating firms and persons
shown on the books of such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners. 

  
 All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the
Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance
with the Depository’s normal procedures. 
  
 If (x) (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Trustee or the Depositor is unable to locate a
qualified successor, (y) the Depositor at its option advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository or (z) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Certificate Owners representing at least
51% of the Class Certificate Balance of the Book-Entry Certificates together advise the Trustee and the Depository through the Depository Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the
best interests of the Certificate Owners, the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of definitive, fully-registered Certificates (the “Definitive
Certificates”) to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the related Class of Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by the instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall issue the
Definitive Certificates. Neither the Master Servicer, the Depositor nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instruction and each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. The Master
Servicer shall provide the Trustee with an 
  

 96 







Table of Contents


 adequate inventory of certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive Certificates.
Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such
Definitive Certificates and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder; provided that the Trustee shall not by virtue of its assumption of such obligations become liable to any party for
any act or failure to act of the Depository. 
  
 
SECTION 5.3 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 (b) there is delivered to the Master
Servicer and the Trustee (and to MBIA with respect to the Insured Retail Certificates) 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, countersign and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In
connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.3, 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 5.3 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost,
stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time. 
  
 
SECTION 5.4 Persons Deemed Owners. 
  
 The Master Servicer, the Trustee, MBIA and any agent of the Master Servicer or 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 Master Servicer, MBIA, the Trustee nor any agent of the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 
  
 
SECTION 5.5 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 which such Certificateholders propose to transmit, or if the Depositor or 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 such 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.

 Any Person into which the Depositor or the Master Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to
which the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any person succeeding to the business of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, shall be the successor of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without the

connection with any audit, controversy or judicial proceeding relating to a governmental taxing authority or any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense related to any specific Mortgage
Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) and any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the

Any such determination under clause (b) permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee and MBIA. No such resignation shall become effective until the Trustee or a
successor master servicer shall have assumed the Master Servicer’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder.

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

	 	(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

applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or

Central time, on the related Distribution Date. 

  
 If an Event of Default described in clauses (i) to (v) of this Section 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, or at the direction of the Holders of
Certificates evidencing not less than 66 2/3% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates, the Trustee shall by notice in writing to the Master Servicer (with a copy to MBIA and 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. If an Event of Default described in clause (vi) of this Section shall occur, the Trustee

 Mortgage Loans and proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder. On and 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 another successor to the Master Servicer
appointed by the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.2. The Trustee, in its capacity as successor to the Master Servicer, shall thereupon make any Advance which the Master Servicer failed to make subject to Section 4.1 hereof. The Trustee is hereby
authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the 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 the 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 VIII. 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 Trustee of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited to the Certificate Account, or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. All expenses incurred in the transferring of the
servicing duties from the Master Servicer to a Successor Servicer shall be paid by the Master Servicer, and if not paid by the Master Servicer, shall be paid from amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account. 
  
 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 which was due prior to the notice terminating such Master Servicer’s rights and obligations as Master Servicer
hereunder and received after such notice, that portion thereof to which such Master Servicer would have been entitled pursuant to Sections 3.8(a)(i) through (viii),and any other amounts payable to such Master Servicer hereunder the entitlement to
which arose prior to the termination of its activities hereunder. Any termination of the activities of the Master Servicer hereunder will simultaneously result in the termination of the Master Servicer’s duties as a subservicer pursuant to the
Servicing Rights Transfer and Subservicing Agreement. 
  
 
SECTION 7.2 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. 
  
 On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, the Trustee shall, subject to and to the extent provided in Section 3.4, be the successor to the Master
Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof and
applicable law including the obligation to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.1. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans that the Master Servicer would have been entitled to charge to the
Certificate Account or Distribution Account if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee has become the successor to the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 7.1 hereof, 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 Section 4.1 hereof 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 (determined without regard to the MBIA Policy) as the successor to the Master

  

 101 







Table of Contents


 Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master
Servicer hereunder. Any successor to the Master Servicer shall be an institution which is a FNMA and FHLMC approved seller/servicer in good standing, which has a net worth of at least $10,000,000, and which is willing to service the Mortgage Loans
and executes and delivers to the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement accepting such delegation and assignment, which contains an assumption by such Person of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Master
Servicer (other than liabilities of the Master Servicer under Section 6.3 hereof incurred prior to termination of the Master Servicer under Section 7.1), with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement; and provided further that
each Rating Agency acknowledges that its rating of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will not be qualified or reduced (determined without regard to the MBIA Policy), as a result of such assignment and
delegation. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, shall, subject to Section 3.4 hereof, act in such capacity as provided above. In connection with
such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of
the Master Servicing Fee 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. 
  
 Any successor to the Master Servicer as master servicer shall give notice to
the Mortgagors of such change of servicer and shall, during the term of its service as master servicer maintain in force the policy or policies that the Master Servicer is required to maintain pursuant to Section 3.18. 
  
 
SECTION 7.3 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, MBIA 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 and MBIA notice of each such Event of Default hereunder
known to the Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.

 CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE 
  
 
SECTION 8.1 Duties of Trustee. 
  
 The
Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge and after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform such duties and only such
duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. In case an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge has occurred and remains uncured, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested
in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. 
  
 The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements,
opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement 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 such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument. If any such instrument is found not to
conform in any material respect to the requirements of this Agreement, the Trustee shall notify the Certificateholders of such instrument in the event that the Trustee, after so requesting, does not receive a satisfactorily corrected instrument.

  
 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)	 	unless an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge shall have occurred and be continuing, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall
be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such 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 the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to
the requirements of this Agreement which it believed in good faith to be genuine and to have been duly executed by the proper authorities respecting any matters arising hereunder; 

  

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

  

 103

	 	(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 direction of Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of Certificates or MBIA, in the case of the Class I-A-4 Certificates, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any
trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Agreement; 

  

	 	(iv)	 	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 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 assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event
require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the
rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Master Servicer; and 

  

	 	(v)	 	without limiting the generality of this Section 8.1, the Trustee shall have no duty (A) to see to any recording, filing, or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to
herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or deposit or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (B) to see to any
insurance, (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Trust Fund other than from funds
available in the Distribution Account (D) to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates of the Servicer delivered to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement believed by the Trustee to be genuine and to have been signed or presented
by the proper party or parties. 

  
 
SECTION 8.2 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee. 
  
 Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.1: 
  

	 	(i)	 	the Trustee may request and rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers’ Certificate, certificate 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 and the Trustee
shall have no responsibility to ascertain or confirm the genuineness of any signature of any such party or parties; 

  

 104 







Table of Contents



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

  

	 	(iii)	 	the Trustee shall not be liable 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

consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights allocated to each Class of Certificates; provided, however, that if the
payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the
terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to taking any such action. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Master
Servicer or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the Master Servicer upon demand from the Servicer’s own funds. 

  

	 	(v)	 	the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, accountants or attorneys and the Trustee shall
not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of such agent, accountant or attorney appointed by the Trustee with due care; 

  

	 	(vi)	 	the Trustee shall not be required to risk or expend its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its
rights or powers hereunder if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to it; 

  

	 	(vii)	 	the Trustee shall not be liable for any loss on any investment of funds pursuant to this Agreement (other than as issuer of the investment security);

to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; 

  

	 	(x)	 	the right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its
negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such act; and

SECTION 8.3 Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans. 
  
 The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the
validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates or of any Mortgage Loan or related document other than with respect to the Trustee’s execution and counter-signature of the Certificates. The Trustee shall not be accountable for
the use or application by the Depositor or the Master Servicer of any funds paid to the Depositor or the Master Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Certificate Account by the Depositor or the Master

attorney’s fees) (i) incurred in connection with any claim or legal action relating to (a) this Agreement, (b) the Certificates or (c) in connection with the performance of any of the Trustee’s duties hereunder, other than any loss,

 Trustee hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the Master Servicer covenants and agrees, except as otherwise agreed
upon in writing by the Depositor and the Trustee, and except for any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, to pay or reimburse the Trustee, for all reasonable

powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and with a credit rating which would not cause either of the Rating Agencies to reduce their respective then
current ratings of the Certificates (or having provided such security from time to time as is sufficient to avoid such reduction). If such corporation or association publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.6 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in
its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.6, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in
Section 8.7 hereof. The entity serving as Trustee may have normal banking and trust relationships with the Depositor and its affiliates or the Master Servicer and its affiliates; provided, however, that such entity cannot be an affiliate of the
Master Servicer other than the Trustee in its role as successor to the Master Servicer.

 The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor and the Master Servicer and each Rating Agency not less than 60 days before
the date specified in such notice when, subject to Section 8.8, such resignation is to take effect, and acceptance by a successor trustee in accordance with Section 8.8 meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 8.6. If no successor trustee
meeting such qualifications shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice or resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor trustee. 
  
 If at any time the Trustee shall cease to
be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.6 hereof and shall fail to resign after written request thereto by the Depositor, or if at 
  

 107

 any time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of
the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or a tax is imposed with respect to
the Trust Fund by any state in which the Trustee or the Trust Fund is located and the imposition of such tax would be avoided by the appointment of a different trustee, then the Depositor or the Master Servicer may remove the Trustee and appoint a
successor trustee by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Master Servicer and one copy to the successor trustee. 
  
 The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights may

successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.7 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 8.8 hereof. 
  
 
SECTION 8.8 Successor Trustee.

successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.7 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor trustee and 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. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully
and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations. 
  
 No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.8 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 8.6 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 8.8, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee
hereunder to all Holders of Certificates. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor.

Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any part thereof,
whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, 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 8.6 and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 8.8.

  
 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)	 	To the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or
imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except
to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform
such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the applicable 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 such appointment shall not, and shall not be deemed to,
constitute any such separate trustee or co-trustee as agent of the Trustee; 

  

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

  

	 	(iv)	 	The Master Servicer, and not the Trustee, shall be liable for the payment of reasonable compensation, reimbursement and indemnification to any such separate trustee or co-trustee.


  
 Any notice, request or other writing given to
the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the separate trustees and co-trustees, when and as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and
the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or
separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection 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 8.11 Tax Matters. 
  
 It is
intended that the assets with respect to which each REMIC election is to be made, as set forth in the preliminary statement shall constitute, and that the conduct of matters relating to such assets shall be such as to qualify such assets as, a
“real estate mortgage investment conduit” as defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the Trustee covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and the Trustee is hereby appointed to act
as agent) on behalf of any such REMIC and that in such capacity it shall: (a) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit Income Tax Return (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
any 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) 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; (c) make or cause to
be made elections that such assets be treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return for its first taxable year (and, if necessary, under applicable state law); (d) prepare and forward, 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) 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 Non-Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through entity in which a Non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest (the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may be charged to
the Person liable for such tax); (f) to the extent that they are under its control conduct matters relating to such assets at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions; (g) not
knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of any REMIC status; (h) pay, from the sources specified in the last paragraph of this Section 8.11, the amount of any federal or state tax,
including prohibited transaction taxes as described below, imposed on any such REMIC prior to its termination 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) ensure that federal, state or local income tax or
information returns shall be signed by the Trustee or such other person as may be required to sign such returns by the Code or state or local laws, regulations or rules; (j) maintain records relating to any such REMIC, including but not limited to
the income, expenses, assets and liabilities thereof and the fair market value and adjusted basis of the assets determined at such intervals as may be required by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements
or information; and (k) as and when necessary and appropriate, represent any such REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as
to any taxable year of any such REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any tax item of any such REMIC, and otherwise act on behalf of any such REMIC in relation to
any tax matter or controversy involving it. 
  
 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 ten (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, reasonably 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 
  

 111

 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 REMIC as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net income from foreclosure property” of any REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to any REMIC after the
Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, if 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 which breach was caused by its negligence or willful misconduct, (ii) the Master Servicer, in the case of any such minimum tax, or if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer
of any of their obligations under this Agreement, (iii) the Seller, if any such tax arises out of or results from the Seller’s obligation to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.2 or 2.3 or (iv) in all other cases, or in the event
that the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Seller fails to honor its obligations under the preceding clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), any such tax will be paid with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Certificateholders, as provided in Section
3.8(b). 
  
 
SECTION 8.12 Periodic Filings. 
  
 The
Depositor hereby directs the Trustee to prepare, execute (pursuant to a limited power of attorney given to the Trustee by the Depositor) and file on behalf of the Depositor all periodic reports required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in
conformity with the terms of the “no-action” relief granted by the SEC to issuers of asset-backed securities such as the Certificates and the Trustee hereby agrees to do so. The Master Servicer will also prepare and execute any
certifications to be filed with the Form 10-K as required under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. In connection with the preparation and filing of such periodic reports, the Depositor and the Master Servicer shall timely provide to the Trustee all
material information available to them which is required to be included in such reports and not known to them to be in the possession of the Trustee and such other information as the Trustee reasonably may request from either of them and otherwise
reasonably shall cooperate with the Trustee. The Trustee shall have no liability with respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such periodic reports resulting from or relating to the Trustee’s inability or failure to obtain any
information not resulting from its own negligence or willful misconduct.

both Mortgage Pools, at the time of any such repurchase, aggregating less than ten percent of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans. 
  
 
SECTION 9.2 Final Distribution on the Certificates. 
  
 If on any Determination Date, 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 Certificate Account, the Master
Servicer shall direct the Trustee promptly to send a final distribution notice to each Certificateholder and to MBIA. If the Master Servicer elects to terminate the Trust Fund pursuant to clause (a) of Section 9.1, at least 20 days prior to the date
notice is to be mailed to the affected Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor, MBIA and the Trustee of the date the Master Servicer intends to terminate the Trust Fund and of the applicable repurchase price of the
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties. 
  
 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 and to
MBIA mailed not earlier than the 10th day and no later than the 15th day of the month next preceding 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 Master Servicer 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 Certificate Account to be remitted to the Trustee for deposit in the applicable subaccounts of 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 shall

Certificateholders of each Class, in the order set forth in Section 4.2 hereof, on the final Distribution Date, in the case of the Certificateholders, in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, with respect to Certificateholders of the
same Class, an amount equal to (i) as to each Class of Regular Certificates, the Class Certificate Balance thereof plus accrued interest thereon (or on their Notional Amount, if applicable) in the case of an interest bearing Certificate, and (ii) as
to the Residual Certificates, the amount, if any, which remains on deposit in the Distribution Account (other than the amounts retained to meet claims) after application pursuant to clause (i) above. On the final Distribution Date and in accordance

 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 which remain a part of the Trust Fund. If within one year after the second notice all Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Holders of each of the Class I-A-RU and Class I-A-RL Certificates shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets of the Trust Fund, held for distribution to such Certificateholders, which remain subject hereto.

  
 
SECTION 9.3 Additional Termination Requirements. 
  

	 	(a)	 	In the event the Master Servicer exercises its purchase option as provided in Section 9.1, the Trust Fund and each REMIC created hereunder shall be terminated in accordance with the
following additional requirements, unless the Trustee and MBIA have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the Master Servicer, to the effect that the failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 9.3 will not (i)
result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” on any REMIC as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or (ii) cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:


  

	 	(1)	 	Within 90 days prior to the final Distribution Date set forth in the notice given by the Master Servicer under Section 9.2, the Master Servicer shall prepare and the Trustee, at the

MBIA (which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee, MBIA or the Tax Matters Person), meets the requirements of a qualified liquidation; and 

  

 114

	 	(2)	 	Within 90 days after the time of adoption of such plans of complete liquidation, the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Fund to the Master Servicer for cash in
accordance with Section 9.1. 

  

	 	(b)	 	The Trustee as agent for any REMIC established hereunder hereby agrees to adopt and sign such a plan of complete liquidation upon the written request of the Master Servicer, and the
receipt of the Opinion of Counsel referred to in Section 9.3(a)(1) and to take such other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Master Servicer.

 CERTAIN MATTERS REGARDING MBIA 
  
 
SECTION 10.1 Matters Concerning The Certificate Insurance Policy. 
  

	 	(a)	 	If, on or prior to the second Business Day before any Distribution Date, the Trustee determines that the funds available for such Distribution Date distributable to the Holders of
the Insured Retail Certificates pursuant to Section 4.2(a) will be insufficient to pay the MBIA Insurance Payment on such Distribution Date, the Trustee shall determine the amount of any such deficiency and shall give notice to MBIA and the Fiscal
Agent (as defined in the MBIA Policy), if any, by telephone or telecopy of the amount of such deficiency, confirmed in writing by notice substantially in the form of Exhibit A to the MBIA Policy by 12:00 noon, New York City time on such second
Business Day. 

  

	 	(b)	 	In the event the Trustee receives a certified copy of an order of the appropriate court that any scheduled payment of principal or interest on an Insured Retail Certificate has been
voided in whole or in part as a preference payment under applicable bankruptcy law, the Trustee shall (i) promptly notify MBIA and the Fiscal Agent, if any, and (ii) comply with the provisions of the MBIA Policy to obtain payment by MBIA of such
voided scheduled payment. In addition, the Trustee shall mail notice to all Holders of the Insured Retail Certificates so affected that, in the event that any such Holder’s scheduled payment is so recovered, such Holder will be entitled to
payment pursuant to the terms of the MBIA Policy a copy of which shall be made available to such Holders by the Trustee. The Trustee shall furnish to MBIA and the Fiscal Agent, if any, its records listing the payments on the affected Insured Retail
Certificates, if any, that have been made by the Trustee and subsequently recovered from the affected Holders, and the dates on which such payments were made by the Trustee. 

  

	 	(c)	 	At the time of the execution hereof, and for the purposes hereof, the Trustee shall establish a separate special purpose trust account in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of
Holders of the Insured Retail Certificates (the “MBIA Policy 

  

 115 







Table of Contents


 Payments Account”) over which the Trustee shall have exclusive control and sole right of withdrawal.
The MBIA Policy Payments Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Trustee shall deposit any amount paid under the MBIA Policy into the MBIA Policy Payments Account and distribute such amount only for the purpose of making the payments to Holders of
the Insured Retail Certificates in respect of the Insured Payment for which the related claim was made under the MBIA Policy. Such amounts shall be allocated by the Trustee to Holders of the Insured Retail Certificates affected by such shortfalls in
the same manner as principal and interest payments are to be allocated with respect to the Insured Retail Certificates pursuant to Section 4.2(a). It shall not be necessary for such payments to be made by checks or wire transfers separate from the
checks or wire transfers used to make regular payments hereunder with funds withdrawn from the Distribution Account. However, any payments made on the Insured Retail Certificates from funds in the MBIA Policy Payments Account shall be noted as
provided in subsection (e) below. Funds held in the MBIA Policy Payments Account shall not be invested by the Trustee. 
  

	 	(d)	 	Any funds received from MBIA for deposit into the MBIA Policy Payments Account pursuant to the MBIA Policy in respect of a Distribution Date or otherwise as a result of any claim
under the MBIA Policy shall be applied by the Trustee directly to the payment in full of the MBIA Insurance Payment due on such Distribution Date on the Insured Retail Certificates. Funds received by the Trustee as a result of any claim under the
MBIA Policy shall be used solely for payment to the Holders of the Insured Retail Certificates and may not be applied for any other purpose, including, without limitation, satisfaction of any costs, expenses or liabilities of the Trustee, the Master
Servicer, the Seller or the Depositor. Any funds remaining in the MBIA Policy Payments Account on the first Business Day after each Distribution Date shall be remitted promptly to MBIA pursuant to the written instruction of MBIA.


  

	 	(e)	 	The Trustee shall keep complete and accurate records in respect of (i) all funds remitted to it by MBIA and deposited into the MBIA Policy Payments Account and (ii) the allocation
of such funds to payments of interest on and principal in respect of the Insured Retail Certificates. MBIA shall have the right to inspect such records at reasonable times during normal business hours upon three Business Days’ prior notice to
the Trustee. 

  

	 	(f)	 	The Trustee acknowledges, and each Holder of a Insured Retail Certificate by its acceptance of the Insured Retail Certificate agrees, that, without the need for any further action
on the part of MBIA or the Trustee, to the extent MBIA makes payments, directly or indirectly, on account of principal of or interest on any Insured Retail Certificates, MBIA will be fully subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Insured
Retail Certificates to receive such principal and interest from the Issuer. The Holders of the Insured Retail Certificates, by acceptance of the Insured Retail Certificates, assign their rights as Holders of the Insured Retail Certificates to the
extent of MBIA’s interest with respect to amounts paid under the MBIA Policy. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, solely for 

  

 116 







Table of Contents


 purposes of determining MBIA’s rights, as applicable, as subrogee for payments distributable
pursuant to Section 4.2(a), any payment with respect to distributions to the Insured Retail Certificates which is made with funds received pursuant to the terms of the MBIA Policy, shall not be considered payment of the Insured Retail Certificates
from the Issuer and shall not result in the distribution or the provision for the distribution in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of the Insured Retail Certificates. 
  

	 	(g)	 	The Trustee shall promptly notify MBIA of either of the following as to which a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge: (A) the commencement of any proceeding by or against the
Depositor commenced under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, rehabilitation or similar law (an “Insolvency Proceeding”) and (B) the making of any claim in connection with any
Insolvency Proceeding seeking the avoidance as a preferential transfer (a “Preference Claim”) of any distribution made with respect to the Insured Retail Certificates as to which a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge. Each Holder of a
Insured Retail Certificate, by its purchase of the Insured Retail Certificates, and the Trustee hereby agrees that MBIA may at any time during the continuation of any proceeding relating to a Preference Claim direct all matters relating to such
Preference Claim, including, without limitation, (i) the direction of any appeal of any order relating to any Preference Claim and (ii) the posting of any surety, supersedeas or performance bond pending any such appeal. In addition and without
limitation of the foregoing, MBIA shall be subrogated to the rights of the Trustee and each Holder of a Insured Retail Certificate in the conduct of any Preference Claim, including, without limitation, all rights of any party to an adversary
proceeding action with respect to any court order issued in connection with any such Preference Claim. 

  

	 	(h)	 	With respect to this Section10.1(h), (i) the terms “Receipt” and “Received” shall mean actual delivery to MBIA and the MBIA’s Fiscal Agent, if any, if any,
prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on a Business Day; delivery either on a day that is not a Business Day or after 12:00 noon, New York City time, shall be deemed to be Receipt on the next succeeding Business Day. If any notice or certificate
given under the MBIA Policy by the Trustee is not in proper form or is not properly completed, executed or delivered, it shall be deemed not to have been Received. MBIA or its Fiscal Agent, if any, shall promptly so advise the Trustee and the
Trustee may submit an amended notice, and (ii) “Business Day” means any day other than (A) a Saturday or Sunday or (B) a day on which MBIA or banking institutions in the City of New York, New York, or the city in which the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee is located, are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to be closed. 

  
 
SECTION 10.2 Matters Concerning MBIA. 
  

	 	(a)	 	Upon a Responsible Officer becoming aware of the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trustee shall promptly notify MBIA of such Event of Default.

	 	(c)	 	The Trustee shall surrender the MBIA Policy to MBIA for cancellation upon the reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of the Insured Retail Certificates to zero.


  

	 	(d)	 	The Trustee shall send to MBIA the reports prepared pursuant to Section 4.6, as well as any other statements or communications sent to Holders of the Class I-A-4 Certificates, in
each case at the same time such reports, statements and communications are otherwise sent. All notices, statements reports, certificates or opinions required by this Agreement to be sent to the Trustee, the Rating Agencies or the Holders of the
Insured Retail Certificates shall also be sent at such time to MBIA at MBIA Insurance Corporation, 113 King Street, Armonk, New York 10504, Attention: Insured Portfolio Management—Structured Finance (IPM-SF) (First Horizon 2003-7).


  

	 	(e)	 	Each Holder of an Insured Retail Certificate agrees that MBIA shall be treated by the Depositor, the Seller, and the Master Servicer and the Trustee as if MBIA were the Holder of
all of the Insured Retail Certificates for the purpose (and solely for the purpose) of the giving of any consent, the making of any direction or the exercise of any voting or other control rights otherwise given to the Holders of the Insured Retail
Certificates hereunder without any further consent of any Holder of the Insured Retail Certificates. The Holders of the Insured Retail Certificates may not exercise such right without the prior written consent of MBIA. The rights of MBIA to direct
certain actions and consent to certain actions of the Holders of Insured Retail Certificates hereunder will terminate at such time as the Certificate Principal Balance of the Insured Retail Certificates has been reduced to zero and MBIA has been
reimbursed for all reimbursement amounts and any other amounts owed under the MBIA Policy and the Insurance Agreement and MBIA has no further obligation under the MBIA Policy. 

  

	 	(f)	 	MBIA shall be an express third party beneficiary of this the Agreement for the purpose of enforcing the provisions hereof to the extent of MBIA’s rights explicitly specified
herein as if a party hereto. 

  

	 	(g)	 	All references herein to the ratings assigned to the Certificates and to the interests of any Certificateholders shall be without regard to the MBIA Policy.


  

	 	(h)	 	The Master Servicer and the Trustee shall cooperate with any reasonable request by MBIA to preserve or enforce the MBIA’s rights. 

  

	 	(i)	 	Any amendment to this Agreement shall require the prior written consent of MBIA if such amendment could materially adversely affect the interest of MBIA or of the Holders of the
Insured Retail Certificates.

SECTION 10.3 Suspension and Termination of MBIA’s Rights. 
  
 During the continuation of an MBIA Default, rights granted or reserved to MBIA hereunder shall vest instead in the Holders of the Insured Retail Certificates; provided that MBIA shall be entitled to premiums due and
any reimbursement amounts owed to MBIA under the MBIA Policy, except that MBIA shall retain those rights under Section 11.1 with respect to any amendment. MBIA shall be reinstated with such rights when the MBIA Default has been corrected.

  
 
ARTICLE XI 
 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 
  
 
SECTION 11.1 Amendment. 
  
 This
Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or MBIA (i) to cure any ambiguity or mistake, (ii) to correct any defective provision herein or to
supplement any provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein, (iii) to add to the duties of the Depositor, the Seller or the Master Servicer, (iv) to add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising
hereunder or (v) to modify, alter, amend, add to or rescind any of the terms or provisions contained in this Agreement; provided that any action pursuant to clauses (iv) or (v) above shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the
Trustee and MBIA (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Trust Fund or MBIA), adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder; provided, however, that the amendment shall not be deemed to
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Certificateholders if the Person requesting the amendment obtains a letter from each Rating Agency stating that the amendment would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the
respective ratings then assigned to the Certificates; it being understood and agreed that any such letter in and of itself will not represent a determination as to the materiality of any such amendment and will represent a determination only as to
the credit issues affecting any such rating. The Trustee, the Depositor and the Master Servicer also may at any time and from time to time amend this Agreement without the consent of the Certificateholders to modify, eliminate or add to any of its
provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or helpful to (i) maintain the qualification of any REMIC established hereunder as a REMIC under the Code, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on any REMIC established
hereunder pursuant to the Code that would be a claim at any time prior to the final redemption of the Certificates or (iii) comply with any other requirements of the Code, provided that the Trustee and MBIA have been provided an Opinion of Counsel,
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 helpful to, as applicable, (i) maintain such
qualification, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of such a tax or (iii) comply with any such requirements of the Code. 
  
 This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a Majority
in Interest of each Class of Certificates affected thereby (and MBIA, if such amendment could materially adversely affect the interest of MBIA or of the Holders of the Insured Retail Certificates) 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 Holders of Certificates; provided, however, 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) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner other than as described in (i), without the consent of the Holders of Certificates of such Class
evidencing, as to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating 66%, or (iii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Certificates the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all such
Certificates 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, which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such
amendment will not cause the imposition of any tax on any REMIC established hereunder or the Certificateholders or cause any REMIC established hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. 
  
 Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement requiring the
consent of Certificateholders, the Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance or a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder, MBIA 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. 
  
 Nothing
in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to enter into an amendment without receiving an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund), 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 have been complied with; and (ii) either (A) the amendment does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or (B)
the conclusion set forth in the immediately preceding clause (A) is not required to be reached pursuant to this Section 11.1. 
  
 
SECTION 11.2 Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts. 
  
 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 Master Servicer at its expense, but only upon direction a majority of the Certificateholders to the effect that such recordation
materially and beneficially affects the interests of the Certificateholders.

REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THE CERTIFICATEHOLDERS SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS. SECTION 2.1 OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE APPLICABLE

SECTION 11.4 Intention of Parties. 
  

	 	(a)	 	It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee be, and be construed as, absolute sales thereof to the Trustee.
It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyances be deemed a pledge thereof 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
Depositor, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in such assets, then (i) this Agreement shall 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 this Agreement shall be deemed to be an assignment and a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee, 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 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. The Depositor shall arrange for filing
any Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements in connection with any security interest granted or assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

 (1) First Horizon is duly organized
as a Kansas corporation and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Kansas and is duly authorized and qualified to transact any and all business contemplated by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to be conducted by
First Horizon in any state in which a Mortgaged Property is located or is otherwise not required under applicable law to effect such qualification and, in any event, is in compliance with the doing business laws of any such state, to the extent
necessary to ensure its ability to enforce each Mortgage Loan, to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and to perform any of its other obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in
accordance with the terms thereof. 
  
 (2) First
Horizon has the full corporate power and authority to service each Mortgage Loan, and to execute, deliver and perform, and to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and has duly authorized by
all necessary corporate action on the part of First Horizon the execution, delivery and performance of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by
the other parties thereto, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of First Horizon, enforceable against First Horizon in accordance with its terms, except that (a) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and (b) the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of
the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought. 
  
 (3) The execution and delivery of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by First Horizon, the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by First Horizon under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the consummation of any other of
the transactions contemplated by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms thereof are in the ordinary course of business of First Horizon and will not (A) result in a material breach of any term or
provision of the charter or by-laws of First Horizon or (B) materially conflict with, result in a material breach, violation or acceleration of, or result in a material default under, the terms of any other material

any material indenture or other material agreement or instrument, or in violation of any statute, order or regulation of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over it which breach or violation may
materially impair First Horizon’s ability to perform or meet any of its obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 [No transfer of a Certificate of this Class 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 said Act and such 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. In the event that such a transfer is to be made within two years from the date of the initial issuance of Certificates pursuant hereto, there shall also be delivered (except in the case of a

expense of the Trustee or the Master Servicer, (ii) if the purchaser is an insurance company, a representation that the purchaser is an insurance company which is purchasing such Certificates with funds contained in an “insurance company
general account” (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”)) and that the purchase and holding of such Certificates are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or
(iii) in the case of any such Certificate presented for registration in the name of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), or a trustee of any such plan or any
other person acting on behalf of any such plan, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee and the Master Servicer to the effect that the purchase or holding of such Certificate will not result in prohibited transactions under Section 406 of
ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Trustee, the Depositor or the Master Servicer to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the
Master Servicer. [Such representation shall be deemed to have been made to the Trustee by the Transferee’s acceptance of a Certificate of this Class and by a beneficial owner’s acceptance of its interest in a Certificate of this Class.]

 First Horizon Mortgage Pass-Through Trust 2003-7

 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates 
  
 This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as First Horizon Mortgage Pass-Through Trust 2003-7 Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund created by the Agreement. 
  
 The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it
will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for payment hereunder and that the 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 thereby, and the rights, duties and
immunities of the Trustee. 
  
 Pursuant to the terms of the
Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the
face hereof, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be
distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement. The Record Date applicable to each Distribution Date is the last Business Day of the month next preceding the
month of such Distribution Date. 
  
 Distributions on this
Certificate shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have so notified the Trustee in writing
at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date and such Certificateholder shall satisfy the conditions to receive such form of payment set forth in the Agreement, or, if not, by check mailed by first class mail to the address of such
Certificateholder appearing in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office or such other location
specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution. 
  
 The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at
any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates affected by such amendment evidencing the requisite Percentage Interest, as provided in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of 
  

 D-1 







Table of Contents


 this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether
or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates. 
  
 As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register of the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency maintained by the Trustee in New
York, New York, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more
new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 
  
 The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons
in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 
  
 No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the 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 and the Trustee and any
agent of the Depositor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Depositor, the Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

  
 On any Distribution Date on which the Pool Principal Balance
is less than 10% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Pool Principal Balance of Pool I and Pool II combined, the Master Servicer will have the option to repurchase, in whole, from the Trust Fund all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in
respect of the Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Pools at a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement. In the event that no such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will terminate upon
the later of the maturity or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund or the disposition of all property in respect thereof and the distribution to Certificateholders of all
amounts required to be distributed pursuant to the Agreement. In no event, however, will the trust created by the Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants living at the date of the
Agreement of a certain person named in the Agreement. 
  
 Any term
used herein that is defined in the Agreement shall have the meaning assigned in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed inconsistent with that meaning.

 The undersigned, being
first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows: 
  
 1. The
undersigned is an officer of                     , the proposed Transferee of an Ownership Interest in a Class [I-A-RU] [I-A-RL] Certificate
(the “Certificate”) issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (the “Agreement”), relating to the above-referenced Series, by and among First Horizon Asset Securities Inc., as depositor (the “Depositor”),
First Horizon Home Loan Corporation, as master servicer, and The Bank of New York, as trustee. Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein or in Exhibit 1 hereto, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement. The Transferee has
authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit on behalf of the Transferee. 
  
 2. The Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the date of the Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Certificate either (i) for its own account or
(ii) as nominee, trustee or agent for another Person and has attached hereto an affidavit from such Person in substantially the same form as this affidavit. The Transferee has no knowledge that any such affidavit is false. 
  
 3. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax may be
imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not Permitted Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if such Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a Person that is not
a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and (iii) the Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the subsequent transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that such subsequent transferee is a Permitted
Transferee and, at the time of Transfer, such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false. 
  
 4. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax may be imposed on a “pass-through entity” holding the Certificate if at any
time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity. The Transferee understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with respect to which
the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an affidavit that such record holder is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through entity does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this purpose, a “pass-through
entity” includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations, persons holding interests in
pass-through entities as a nominee for another Person.)

Table of Contents


 5. The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.2(c) of the Agreement (attached hereto as
Exhibit 2 and incorporated herein by reference) and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an Ownership Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the restrictions on subsequent Transfers and the provisions
regarding voiding the Transfer and mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of Section 5.2(c) of the Agreement and the restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee
understands and agrees that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall render the Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void. 
  
 6. The Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any Person to whom the Transferee attempts to Transfer its
Ownership Interest in the Certificate, and in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not Transfer its Ownership Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be
Transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is not a Permitted Transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit I
to the Agreement (a “Transferor Certificate”) to the effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to which the Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee. 
  
 7. The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment or
collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the Certificate. 
  
 8. The Transferee’s taxpayer identification number is                 . 
  
 9. The Transferee is either a U.S. Person as defined in Code Section
7701(a)(30) or the Transferee has furnished the Transferor a properly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI. 
  
 10. The Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a “noneconomic residual interest” within the meaning of Treasury regulations promulgated
pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the assessment or
collection of tax. 
  
 11. The Transferee is not an employee
benefit plan that is subject to ERISA or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, and the Transferee is not acting on behalf of such a plan. 
  
 12. The Transferee has historically paid its debts as they came due and the Transferee will continue to pay its debts as they come due in the future; the
Transferee understands that, as the holder of the Certificate, the Transferee may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the Certificate and the Transferee intends to pay taxes associated with holding the Certificate as they
become due. 
  
 13. The Transferee is a domestic corporation
taxable as a regular corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “taxable domestic C corporation”) and is not a real estate investment trust, regulated investment company or REMIC. The Transferee will not cause income from the
Certificate to be attributable, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, to a non

 U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base (within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty) of the Transferee or
another U.S. taxpayer. At the time of the Transfer, and at the close of each of the Transferee’s two fiscal years preceding the year of the Transfer, the Transferee’s gross assets for financial reporting purposes exceeded $10 million
(together, the “Asset Requirements”), and the Transferee hereby covenants that any subsequent Transfer of its Ownership Interest in the Certificate will be to another taxable, domestic C corporation satisfying the Asset Requirements

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

Holder thereof and any other interest therein, whether direct or indirect, legal or beneficial. 
  
 “Permitted Transferee”: Any Person other than (i) the United States, any State or political subdivision thereof, or any agency or
instrumentality of any of the foregoing, (ii) a foreign government, International Organization or any agency or instrumentality of either of the foregoing, (iii) an organization (except certain farmers’ cooperatives described in section 521 of
the Code) which is exempt from tax imposed by Chapter 1 of the Code (including the tax imposed by section 511 of the Code on unrelated business taxable income) on any excess inclusions (as defined in section 860E(c)(l) of the Code) with respect to
any Certificate, (iv) rural electric and telephone cooperatives described in section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code, (v) an “electing large partnership” as defined in section 775 of the Code, (vi) a Person that is not (a) a citizen or resident

supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, unless such Person has furnished the transferor and the Trustee with a duly completed
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or any applicable successor form, and (vii) any other Person so designated by the Depositor based upon an Opinion of Counsel that the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Certificate to such Person may cause
any REMIC created pursuant to the Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates (as defined in the Agreement) are outstanding; provided, however, that if a person is classified as a partnership or a disregarded entity
under the Code, such person shall only be a Permitted Transferee if all of its beneficial owners are described in subclauses (a), (b), (c) or (d) of clause (vi) and the governing documents of such person prohibits a transfer of any interest in such
person to any person described in clause (vi). The terms “United States,” “State” and “International Organization” shall have the meanings set forth in section 7701 of the Code or successor provisions. A corporation
will not be treated as an instrumentality of the United States or of any State or political subdivision thereof for these purposes if all of its activities are subject to tax and, with the exception of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a
majority of its board of directors is not selected by such government unit.

 Section 5.2(c) of the Agreement 
  
 (c) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance
or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions: 

 
 (i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the 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 H. 
  
 (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 5.2(c) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported Transferee. If any purported
transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.2(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration
of Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The 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 5.2(b) and this Section 5.2(c) or for making any
payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit, Transferor
Certificate, and in the case of a Residual Certificate which is also a Private Certificate, either the Rule 144A Letter or the Investment Letter. 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 Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon receipt 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 5.2(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the legend on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers occurring after delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of
Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee or the Master Servicer, to the effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates
are outstanding or result in the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, a Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate hereby consents to any amendment of this Agreement
which, based on an Opinion of Counsel furnished to the 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 which is held by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.
