     THIS POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of July 1, 2005, among FREMONT MORTGAGE
SECURITIES CORPORATION, as depositor (the “Depositor”), FREMONT INVESTMENT & LOAN, as
originator and servicer (the “Originator” and the “Servicer”, as applicable; and
together “Fremont”), and WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A., as master servicer and trust administrator
(the “Master Servicer” and “Trust Administrator” in such capacities, respectively),
and HSBC BANK USA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as trustee (the “Trustee”),



W I T N E S S E T H:




     In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as
follows:



PRELIMINARY STATEMENT




     The Issuer intends to sell pass-through certificates (collectively, the “Certificates”), to be
issued hereunder in multiple Classes, which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial
ownership interest in the Trust Fund created hereunder. The Certificates will consist of
twenty-two Classes of Certificates, designated as (i) the Class 1-A-1 and Class 1-A-2 Certificates,
(ii) the Class 2-A-1, Class 2-A-2, Class 2-A-3 and Class 2-A-4 Certificates, (iii) the Class M1,
Class M2, Class M3, Class M4, Class M5, Class M6, Class M7, Class M8 and Class M9 Certificates,
(iv) the Class B1, Class B2 and Class B3 Certificates, (iv) the Class C Certificates, (v) the Class
P Certificates and (vi) the Class R and Class RX Certificates. The descriptions of REMIC I, REMIC
II, REMIC III and REMIC IV that follow are part of the Preliminary Statement. Any inconsistencies
or ambiguities in this Agreement or in the administration of this Agreement shall be resolved in a
manner that preserves the validity of such REMIC elections described below.



REMIC I




     As provided herein, the Trust Administrator will make an election to treat the assets of the
Trust Fund, other than the Corridor Agreement, the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, any Net
WAC Rate Carryover Amounts and any Servicer Prepayment Payment Amounts as a real estate mortgage
investment conduit (a “REMIC”) for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets
will be designated as “REMIC I.” The Class R-I Interest will represent the sole class of “residual
interests” in REMIC I for purposes of the REMIC Provisions under federal income tax law. Interest
on all Classes of REMIC I Regular Interests will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months.



     The following table irrevocably sets forth the designation, the Uncertificated REMIC I
Pass-Through Rate, the initial Uncertificated Principal Balance, and solely for purposes of
satisfying Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the “latest possible maturity date”
for each of the REMIC I Interests.

REMIC II




     As provided herein, the Trust Administrator shall make an election to treat the segregated
pool of assets consisting of the REMIC I Regular Interests as a REMIC for federal income tax
purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will be designated as “REMIC II.” The Class R-II
Interest represents the sole class of “residual interests” in REMIC II for purposes of the REMIC
Provisions. Interest on all Regular Certificates (other than the Class C Interest) will be
calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in the related Interest Accrual Period and a
360-day year. Interest on the Class C Interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months.



     The following table sets forth (or describes) the Class designation, Certificate Interest
Rate, initial Class Certificate Balance or the REMIC II Uncertificated Principal Balance for each
Class of Certificates or REMIC II Uncertificated Regular Interest:

ARTICLE II

CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS; REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES




     Section 2.01. Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.



     The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, hereby sells, transfers,
assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders,
without recourse, all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the Trust Fund,
together with all rights of the Depositor under the Corridor Agreement (if any), and the Trustee,
on behalf of the Trust, hereby accepts the Trust Fund.



     (a) In connection with the transfer and assignment of each Mortgage Loan, the Depositor has
delivered or caused to be delivered to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, for
the benefit of the Certificateholders, the following documents or instruments with respect to each
Mortgage Loan so assigned:




     (i) the original Mortgage Note bearing all intervening endorsements showing a complete
chain of endorsement from the originator to the last endorsee, endorsed “Pay to the order of
___, without recourse” and signed (which may be by facsimile signature) in the
name of the last endorsee by an authorized officer. To the extent that there is no room on
the face of the Mortgage Notes for endorsements, the endorsement may be contained on an
allonge, if state law so allows and the Trustee is so advised by the Depositor that state
law so allows;




     (ii) the original of any guarantee executed in connection with the Mortgage Note;




     (iii) with respect to each Mortgage Loan, the original Mortgage with evidence of
recording thereon or a certified true copy of such Mortgage submitted for recording. If in
connection with any Mortgage Loan, the Originator cannot deliver or cause to be delivered
the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon on or prior to the Closing Date
because of a delay caused by the public recording office where such Mortgage has been
delivered for recordation or because such Mortgage has been lost or because such public
recording office retains the original recorded Mortgage, the Originator (to the extent that
it has not previously delivered the same to the Depositor, the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or Trust Administrator,
(1) a photocopy of such Mortgage, certified by the Originator (or certified by the title
company, escrow agent, or closing attorney) to be a true and complete copy of such Mortgage
dispatched to the appropriate public recording office for



59









 






recordation; and (2) upon receipt thereof by the Originator, the original recorded
Mortgage, or, in the case of a Mortgage 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, a copy of such Mortgage certified by such public recording office to be a
true and complete copy of the original recorded Mortgage;




     (iv) the originals of all assumption, modification, consolidation or extension
agreements (if provided), with evidence of recording thereon or a certified true copy of
such agreement submitted for recording;




     (v) except with respect to each MERS Designated Mortgage Loan, the original Assignment
of Mortgage for each Mortgage Loan endorsed in blank and in recordable form;




     (vi) with respect to each Mortgage Loan, the originals of all intervening Assignments
of Mortgage (if any) evidencing a complete chain of assignment from the applicable
originator (or MERS with respect to each MERS Designated Mortgage Loan) to the last endorsee
with evidence of recording thereon, or if any such intervening assignment has not been
returned from the applicable recording office or has been lost or if such public recording
office retains the original recorded Assignments of Mortgage, the Originator (to the extent
that it has not previously delivered the same to the Depositor, the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, (1) a photocopy of such intervening assignment, certified by the Originator
(or certified by the title company, escrow agent, or closing attorney) to be a complete copy
of such intervening Assignment of Mortgage dispatched to the appropriate public recording
office for recordation upon receipt thereof by the Originator, and (2) the original recorded
intervening assignment or in the case where an intervening assignment is lost after
recordation in a public recording office, a copy of such intervening assignment certified by
such public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded
intervening assignment;




     (vii) the original or duplicate lender’s title policy and any riders thereto or, any
one of an original title binder, an original or copy of the preliminary title report or an
original or copy of the title commitment, and if, copies then certified by the title
company;




     (viii) a security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document executed in
connection with the Mortgage (if provided); and




     (ix) original powers of attorney, if applicable, with evidence of recording thereon, if
required.



     Each Mortgage Loan for which a Mortgage Note is missing shall be evidenced by a lost note
affidavit as of the Closing Date. In the event, for purposes of the Closing Date, one or more lost
note affidavits are provided to cover multiple missing Mortgage Notes, the Originator shall deliver
to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator the applicable individual lost note affidavits within ten
(10) Business Days of the Closing Date. If the Originator fails to deliver the required




60









 




individual lost note affidavits within the specified period of time, the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator shall notify the Originator to take such remedial actions, including, without
limitation, the repurchase by the Originator of such Mortgage Loan within 30 days of the Closing
Date.




     The Originator shall deliver to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator the applicable recorded
document promptly upon receipt from the respective recording office but in no event later than 150
days from the Closing Date.



     If any Mortgage has been recorded in the name of Mortgage Electronic Registration System, Inc.
(“MERS”) or its designee, no Assignment of Mortgage in favor of the Trustee will be required to be
prepared or delivered and instead, the Servicer shall take all reasonable actions as are necessary
at the expense of the Depositor to cause the Trustee to be shown as the owner of the related
Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS for the purpose of the system of recording transfers of
beneficial ownership of mortgages maintained by MERS.



     From time to time, the Originator shall forward with respect to the Mortgage Loans, to the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator additional original documents, and additional documents
evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of a Mortgage Loan approved by
the Originator in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. All such mortgage documents held by
the Trustee or the Trust Administrator as to each Mortgage Loan shall constitute the “Custodial
File.”



     The requirements of this paragraph relate only to Mortgage Loans that are not MERS Designated
Mortgage Loans. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Originator shall deliver to the Trustee or
Trust Administrator Assignments of Mortgages, in blank, for each Mortgage Loan (except with respect
to each MERS Designated Mortgage Loan). The Originator shall cause such Assignments of Mortgage
with completed recording information to be provided to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator in a
reasonably acceptable manner. No later than thirty (30) Business Days following the later of the
Closing Date and the date of receipt by the Servicer of the fully completed Assignments of
Mortgages in recordable form, the Servicer shall promptly submit or cause to be submitted for
recording, at the expense of the Originator at no expense to the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer,
the Trust Administrator, the Trustee or the Depositor in the appropriate public office for real
property records, each Assignment of Mortgage referred to in Section 2.01(a)(vi). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, however, for administrative convenience and facilitation of servicing and to reduce
closing costs, the Assignments of Mortgage shall not be required to be completed and submitted for
recording with respect to any Mortgage Loan if the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and each Rating
Agency have received an opinion of counsel, satisfactory in form and substance to the Trustee and
Trust Administrator and each Rating Agency, to the effect that the recordation of such Assignments
of Mortgage in any specific jurisdiction is not necessary to protect the Trustee’s interest in the
related Mortgage Note. If the Assignment of Mortgage is to be recorded, the Mortgage shall be
assigned by the Originator at the Originator’s expense to “HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as
trustee under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of July 1, 2005, Fremont Home Loan Trust
2005-C.” In the event that any such assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect
therein, the Originator shall promptly prepare a substitute assignment to cure such defect and
thereafter cause each such assignment to be duly recorded.




61









 





     On or prior to the Closing Date, the Depositor shall deliver to the Trustee, the Servicer and
the Trust Administrator a copy of the Data Tape Information in an electronic, machine readable
medium in a form mutually acceptable to the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator and the Trustee. Within ten (10) Business Days of the Closing Date, the Depositor
shall deliver a copy of the complete Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee, the Master Servicer,
the Trust Administrator and the Servicer.



     In the event, with respect to any Mortgage Loans, that such original or copy of any document
submitted for recordation to the appropriate public recording office is not so delivered to the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator within 150 days following the Closing Date, and in the event
that the Originator does not cure such failure within 30 days of discovery or receipt of written
notification of such failure from the Depositor, the related Mortgage Loan shall, upon the request
of the Depositor, be repurchased by the Originator at the price and in the manner specified in
Section 2.03. The foregoing repurchase remedy shall not apply in the event that the Originator
cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted for recordation to the appropriate
public recording office within the specified period due to a delay caused by the recording office
in the applicable jurisdiction; provided, that the Originator shall instead deliver a
recording receipt of such recording office or, if such recording receipt is not available, an
officer’s certificate of an officer of the Originator confirming that such document has been
accepted for recording.



     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.01, in those instances
where the public recording office retains or loses the original Mortgage or assignment after it has
been recorded, the obligations of the Originator shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon
delivery by the Originator to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator prior to the Closing Date of a
copy of such Mortgage or assignment, as the case may be, certified (such certification to be an
original thereof) by the public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the recorded
original thereof.



     (b) The Depositor does hereby establish, pursuant to the further provisions of this Agreement
and the laws of the State of New York, an express trust (the “Trust”) to be known, for convenience,
as “Fremont Home Loan Trust 2005-C” and HSBC Bank USA, N.A. is hereby appointed as Trustee in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.



     (c) The Trust shall have the capacity, power and authority, and the Trustee on behalf of the
Trust is hereby authorized, to accept the sale, transfer, assignment, set over and conveyance by
the Depositor to the Trust of all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the
Trust Fund (including, without limitation, the Mortgage Loans) pursuant to Section 2.01(a) and,
solely in its capacity as Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, to enter into the Corridor
Agreement.



     (d) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that it is the policy and intention of the Trust
to acquire only Mortgage Loans meeting the requirements set forth in this Agreement, including
without limitation, the representation and warranty set forth in paragraph II(l) of Schedule IV
hereto.




62









 





     Section 2.02. Acceptance by the Trustee or Trust Administrator of the Mortgage Loans.



     The Trustee or the Trust Administrator on its behalf acknowledges receipt of the documents
identified in its initial certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit E (the “Initial
Certification”), and declares that it, or the Trust Administrator on its behalf, holds and will
hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it pursuant to Section 2.01, and that it
holds or will hold such other assets as are included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive
use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. Each of the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator, as applicable, on its behalf acknowledges that it will maintain possession of the
related Mortgage Notes in any of the states of Minnesota, California or Utah, unless otherwise
permitted by the Rating Agencies.



     Prior to and as a condition to the Closing, the Trustee shall deliver, or cause the Trust
Administrator to deliver, via facsimile (with original to follow the next Business Day) to the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Servicer the Initial Certification prior to the Closing
Date, or as the Depositor agrees, on the Closing Date, certifying receipt of a Mortgage Note and
Assignment of Mortgage for each Mortgage Loan with any exceptions thereon. The Trustee or the
Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall not be responsible to verify the validity, sufficiency or
genuineness of any document in any Custodial File.



     The Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall ascertain that all documents in
the Custodial File required to be reviewed by it are in its possession, and shall deliver to the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Servicer the Initial Certification on the Closing Date, and
shall deliver to the Depositor and the Servicer a Document Certification and Exception Report, in
the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F, within 90 days after the Closing Date to the effect that, as
to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in
full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in such certification as an exception and not
covered by such certification): (i) all documents required to be received by it are in its
possession; (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and appear regular on their face and
relate to such Mortgage Loan; (iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing
documents, the information set forth in items (i), (ii) and (xii) of the Mortgage Loan Schedule and
items (1), (2), (3) and (13) of the Data Tape Information respecting such Mortgage Loan is correct;
and (iv) each Mortgage Note has been endorsed as provided in Section 2.01 of this Agreement. The
Trustee or Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall not be responsible to verify the validity,
sufficiency or genuineness of any document in any Custodial File.



     The Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall retain possession and custody of
each Custodial File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
The Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, upon
the execution or receipt thereof, the originals of such other documents or instruments constituting
the Custodial File as come into the possession of the Servicer from time to time.



     The Originator shall deliver to the Servicer copies of all trailing documents required to be
included in the Custodial File at the same time the original or certified copies thereof are
delivered to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, including but not limited to
such documents as the title insurance policy and any other Mortgage Loan documents upon




63









 




return from the public recording office. The documents shall be delivered by the Originator
at the Originator’s expense to the Servicer and in no event shall the Servicer be responsible for
such expense.




     Section 2.03. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Originator and the
Servicer.



     (a) The Originator hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth in Schedule IV
hereto to the Depositor, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee as of the Closing Date.



     (b) It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this
Section 2.03 shall survive the transfer of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee, and
shall inure to the benefit of the Depositor, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee
notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment of
Mortgage or the examination or failure to examine any Mortgage File. Upon discovery by any of the
Originator, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer or the
Servicer of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties, the party discovering
such breach shall give prompt written notice to the others.



     (c) Within 30 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Originator that any
Mortgage Loan does not conform to the requirements as determined in the Trustee’s or the Trust
Administrator’s review of the related Custodial File or within 60 days of the earlier of either
discovery by or notice to the Originator of any breach of a representation or warranty set forth in
Section 2.03(b), that materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the
interest of the Trustee or the Certificateholders therein, the Originator shall use its best
efforts to cause to be remedied a material defect in a document constituting part of a Mortgage
File or promptly to cure such breach in all material respects and, if such defect or breach cannot
be remedied, the Originator shall, (i) if such 30- or 60-day period, as applicable, expires prior
to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, remove such related 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 2.03, or (ii) repurchase such
Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price; provided, however, that any such
substitution pursuant to clause (i) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.04, if any, and
a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit J, and the Mortgage File for any such
Substitute Mortgage Loan; provided, further, that with respect to any
representations and warranties which are made to the best of the Originator’s knowledge, if it is
discovered by the Originator, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the
Depositor 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 Loans or
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Trustee or the Certificateholders therein or
such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Trustee or the Certificateholders therein in
the case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding
the Originator’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and
warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation and warranty.
In the event that a





64









 





breach which materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or
Mortgage Loans, as the case may be, or the interests of the Trustee or the Certificateholders
therein, shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Schedule IV, and such breach
cannot be cured within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Originator of
such breach, all of the Mortgage Loans shall, at the Depositor’s option, be repurchased by the
Originator at the Repurchase Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a breach which causes a
Mortgage Loan not to constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of
the Code, or by the Originator of any of the representations and warranties set forth in clauses
I(tt), I(uu) or I(lll) of Schedule IV, in each case, will be deemed automatically to materially and
adversely affect the value of such Mortgage Loan and the interests of the Trustee and
Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan. In the event that the Trustee or the Trust Administrator
receives notice of a breach by the Originator of any of the representations and warranties set
forth in clauses I(tt), I(uu) or I(lll) of Schedule IV, the Trustee shall give notice of such
breach to the Originator and request the Originator to repurchase the Mortgage Loan at the
Repurchase Price within sixty (60) days of the Originator’s receipt of such notice. The Originator
shall repurchase each such Deleted Mortgage Loan within 60 days of the earlier of discovery or
receipt of notice with respect to each such Deleted Mortgage Loan.




     (d) With respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Originator shall deliver to the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator 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 2.01, with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as required
by Section 2.01. 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 Due Period of substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by
the Originator on the next succeeding Distribution Date. For the Due Period of substitution,
distributions to Certificateholders will include the Scheduled Payment due on any Deleted Mortgage
Loan for such Due Period and thereafter the Originator shall be entitled to retain all amounts
received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan.



     (e) In connection with any repurchase or substitution of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this
Section 2.03, the Servicer shall, based on information provided by the Originator, 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
Servicer shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator
and the Master Servicer. Upon such substitution, the Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be
subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Originator 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 Section 2.03(b) with respect to such Mortgage Loan.
Upon any such substitution and the deposit to the Collection Account of the amount required to be
deposited therein in connection with such substitution as described in the following paragraph, the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall release the Mortgage File held for the
benefit of the Certificateholders relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Originator and
shall execute and deliver at the direction of the Originator such instruments of transfer or
assignment prepared by the Originator in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest
title in the Originator or its designee, the Trustee’s interest in any Deleted Mortgage Loan
substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.03.




65









 








     (f) For any month in which the Originator substitutes one or more Substitute Mortgage Loans
for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Servicer will determine the amount (if any) by which
the aggregate unpaid 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 Scheduled Payments due in the Due
Period 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 remitted by the Originator to the Servicer for deposit into
the Collection Account on or before the next Remittance Date.



     (g) In addition to such repurchase or substitution obligations, the Originator shall indemnify
the Depositor, any of its Affiliates, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator
and the Trustee and hold such parties harmless against any losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs and
expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or
resulting from, a breach by the Originator of any of its representations and warranties contained
in this Agreement.



     (h) In the event that a Mortgage Loan shall have been repurchased pursuant to this Agreement,
the proceeds from such repurchase shall be deposited in the Collection Account by the Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.10 on or before the next Remittance Date and upon such deposit of the
Repurchase Price, the delivery of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.04, if applicable,
and receipt of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit J hereto, the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, as applicable, shall release the related Custodial File held for the benefit of the
Certificateholders to such Person as directed by the Servicer, and the Trustee shall 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 any Person to cure,
repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing,
together with any related indemnification obligations, shall constitute the sole remedy against
such Persons respecting such breach available to Certificateholders, the Depositor, the Servicer,
the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee on their behalf.



     The representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall survive delivery
of the respective Custodial Files to the Trustee or Trust Administrator for the benefit of the
Certificateholders.



     Section 2.04. Delivery of Opinion of Counsel in Connection with Substitution;
Non-Qualified Mortgages.



     (a) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no substitution pursuant to
Section 2.03 shall be made more than 90 days after the Closing Date unless the Originator delivers
to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall
not be at the expense of either the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Trust Fund, addressed
to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, to the effect that such substitution will not (i)
result in the imposition of the tax on “prohibited transactions” on any




66









 







Trust REMIC or contributions after the Start-up Day, as defined in Sections 860F(a)(2) and
860G(d) of the Code, respectively or (ii) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at
any time that any Certificates are outstanding.




     (b) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Originator, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator, the 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 Originator to
repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan within 30 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of
notice in the same manner as it would a Mortgage Loan for a breach of representation or warranty
made pursuant to Section 2.03. The Trustee shall reconvey to the Originator 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 2.03.



     Section 2.05. 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, the Trust Administrator 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.



     Section 2.06. Representations and Warranties of the Depositor.



     The Depositor hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Trustee, the Trust

future advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan (except as provided in Section 4.01) and the

in the judgment of the Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) or (ii) permit any modification, waiver or
amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would both (A) effect an exchange or reissuance of
such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or final, temporary or proposed Treasury
regulations promulgated thereunder) and (B) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC
under the Code or the imposition of any tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions after

75









 








     Section 3.02. Subservicing Agreements between the Servicer and Subservicers.



     (a) The Servicer may enter into subservicing agreements with subservicers (each, a
“Subservicer”), for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans (“Subservicing
Agreements”).



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



     Any Subservicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage
Loans involving a Subservicer shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and the Servicer alone,
and the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee shall have no
obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to a Subservicer including no obligation, duty or
liability of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or Trustee, to pay a
Subservicer’s fees and expenses.



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



     (c) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer (except as otherwise provided
in the last sentence of this paragraph), for the benefit of the Trustee, shall enforce the
obligations of each Subservicer under the related Subservicing Agreement to which the Servicer is a
party, including, without limitation, any obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent
payments as required by a Subservicing Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation,
the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Subservicing Agreements, and the





76









 







pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent
and at such time as the Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the
owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its
own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such
enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the
related Mortgage Loans or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees
against the party against whom such enforcement is directed.




     The Servicer shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties necessary in order to terminate the
rights and responsibilities of its Subservicer from the Servicer’s own funds without any right of
reimbursement from the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the
Collection Account.



     Section 3.03. Successor Subservicers.



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



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



     Section 3.04. Liability of the Servicer.



     Notwithstanding any Subservicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating
to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a Subservicer or reference to actions taken
through a Subservicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the
Trustee for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions
of Section 3.01 without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such 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 Servicer alone were servicing and
administering such Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with
a Subservicer for indemnification of the Servicer by such Subservicer and nothing contained in this
Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.





77









 








     Section 3.05. No Contractual Relationship between Subservicers and the Trustee, Master
Servicer, Trust Administrator or Certificateholder.



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



     Section 3.06. Assumption or Termination of Subservicing Agreements by Master Servicer,
Trustee or Trust Administrator.



     In the event the Servicer at any time shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer
(including by reason of the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default), the Master Servicer or any
other successor to Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, shall thereupon assume all of the rights
and obligations of the Servicer under each Subservicing Agreement that the Servicer may have
entered into, with copies thereof provided to the Master Servicer prior to the Master Servicer
assuming such rights and obligations, unless the Master Servicer elects to terminate any
Subservicing Agreement in accordance with its terms as provided in Section 3.03.



     Upon such assumption, the Master Servicer, its designee or the successor servicer shall be
deemed, subject to Section 3.03, to have assumed all of the Servicer’s interest therein and to have
replaced the Servicer as a party to each Subservicing Agreement to the same extent as if each
Subservicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party, except that (i) the Servicer shall
not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under any Subservicing Agreement that arose
before it ceased to be the Servicer and (ii) none of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the
Master Servicer, their designees or any successor to the Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed
any liability or obligation of the Servicer that arose before it ceased to be the Servicer.



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



     Section 3.07. Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.



     (a) The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the
terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be
consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any applicable Insurance Policies,
follow such collection procedures as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans comparable to
the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Consistent with the foregoing and Accepted
Servicing Practices, the Servicer may (i) waive any late payment charge or, if





78









 







applicable, any penalty interest, or (ii) extend the due dates for the Scheduled Payments due
on a Mortgage Note for a period of not greater than 180 days; provided, that any extension
pursuant to clause (ii) above shall not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for
purposes of any computation hereunder, except as provided below. In the event of any such
arrangement pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Servicer shall make timely advances on such Mortgage
Loan during such extension pursuant to Section 4.01 and in accordance with the amortization
schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements, subject
to Section 4.01(d) pursuant to which the Servicer shall not be required to make any such advances
that are Nonrecoverable P&I Advances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any
Mortgage Loan is in default or is a 60+ Day Delinquent Mortgage Loan, the Servicer, consistent with
the standards set forth in Section 3.01, may also waive, modify or vary any term of such Mortgage
Loan (including modifications that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, forgive the payment of
principal or interest, extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan or waive, in whole or
in part, a Prepayment Premium), accept payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than
the Stated Principal Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan, or consent to the
postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant indulgence to any Mortgagor
(any and all such waivers, modifications, variances, forgiveness of principal or interest,
postponements, or indulgences collectively referred to herein as “forbearance”); provided, however,
that the Servicer’s approval of a modification of a Due Date shall not be considered a modification
for purposes of this sentence; provided, further, that the final maturity date of
any Mortgage Loan may not be extended beyond the Final Scheduled Distribution Date for the Offered
Certificates. The Servicer’s analysis supporting any forbearance and the conclusion that any
forbearance meets the standards of Section 3.01 shall be reflected in writing in the applicable
Servicing File. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer may also waive, in whole
or in part, a Prepayment Premium if such Prepayment Premium is (i) not permitted to be collected by
applicable law or the collection thereof would be considered “predatory” pursuant to written
guidance published by any applicable federal, state or local regulatory authority having
jurisdiction over such matters, or (ii) the enforceability thereof is limited (1) by bankruptcy,
insolvency, moratorium, receivership or other similar laws relating to creditor’s rights or (2) due
to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment. In order to waive a
Prepayment Premium other than as permitted above, then the Servicer, as a condition to any such
waiver of Prepayment Premium, is required to first pay the amount of such waived Prepayment
Premium, for the benefit of the Holders of the Class P Certificates, by depositing such amount into
the Collection Account together with and at the time that the amount prepaid on the related
Mortgage Loan is required to be deposited into the Collection Account (the “Servicer Prepayment
Payment Amounts”); provided, however, that (i) the Servicer shall not have an
obligation to pay the amount of any uncollected Prepayment Premium if the failure to collect such
amount is the direct result of inaccurate or incomplete information on the Mortgage Loan Schedule
in effect at such time and (ii) any such amount shall be deemed paid outside REMIC I, REMIC II or
REMIC IV from the Servicer to the holder of the Class P Interest.




     (b) The Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master
Servicer, each Rating Agency and the Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the
Collection Account within a reasonable period of time prior to any change thereof.





79









 








     Section 3.08. Subservicing Accounts.



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



     Section 3.09. Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow Accounts.



     (a) The Servicer shall ensure that each of the related Mortgage Loans shall be covered by a
paid-in-full, life-of-the-loan tax service contract in effect with respect to each related Mortgage
Loan (each, a “Tax Service Contract”). Each Tax Service Contract shall be assigned to the Trustee,
or its designee, at the Servicer’s expense in the event that the Servicer is terminated as Servicer
of the related Mortgage Loan.



     (b) To the extent that the services described in this paragraph (b) are not otherwise provided
pursuant to the Tax Service Contracts described in paragraph (a) hereof, the Servicer undertakes to
perform such functions. To the extent the related Mortgage Loan provides for Escrow Payments, the
Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more
accounts (the “Escrow Accounts”), which shall be Eligible Accounts. The Servicer shall deposit in
the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits
payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing
activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Servicer’s
receipt thereof, all collections from the Mortgagors (or related advances from Subservicers) for
the payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums and comparable items for the account
of the Mortgagors (“Escrow Payments”) collected on account of the Mortgage Loans and shall
thereafter deposit such Escrow Payments in the Escrow Accounts, in no event more than two Business
Days after the deposit of such funds in the clearing account, for the purpose of effecting the
payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement. Withdrawals of amounts
from an Escrow Account may be made only to (i) effect payment of taxes, assessments, hazard
insurance premiums, and comparable items; (ii) reimburse the Servicer (or a Subservicer to the
extent provided in the related Subservicing Agreement) out of related collections for any advances
made pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to taxes and assessments) and Section 3.13 (with
respect to hazard insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be
overages; (iv) apply





80









 







to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property in accordance with the Section 3.13;
(v) transfer to the Collection Account and application to reduce the principal balance of the
Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note; (vi) pay
interest to the Servicer and, if required and as described below, to Mortgagors on balances in the
Escrow Account; (vii) clear and terminate the Escrow Account at the termination of the Servicer’s
obligations and responsibilities in respect of the related Mortgage Loans under this Agreement; or
(viii) recover amounts deposited in error. As part of its servicing duties, the Servicer or
Subservicers shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in Escrow Accounts, to the extent
required by law and, to the extent that interest earned on funds in the Escrow Accounts is
insufficient, to pay such interest from its or their own funds, without any reimbursement therefor.
To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall use
commercially reasonable efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices to determine whether
any such payments are made by the Mortgagor in a manner and at a time that avoids the loss of the
Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure as a result of a tax lien. The Servicer
assumes full responsibility for the payment of all such bills within such time and shall effect
payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of
same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such
payments; provided, however, that such advances are deemed to be Servicing
Advances.




     Section 3.10. Collection Account.



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




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




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




     (iii) all Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds (to the extent such Insurance
Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds are not to be applied to the restoration of the related
Mortgaged Property or released to the related Mortgagor in accordance with the express
requirements of law or in accordance with prudent and customary servicing practices) and all
Liquidation Proceeds;





81









 









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




     (v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to the second
paragraph of Section 3.13(a) in respect of any blanket policy deductibles;




     (vi) all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased or purchased in accordance with this
Agreement;




     (vii) all Substitution Shortfall Amounts; and




     (viii) all Prepayment Premiums collected by the Servicer.



     The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account shall be exclusive, it being
understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the
nature of late payment charges, NSF fees, reconveyance fees, assumption fees and other similar fees
and charges need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account and shall, upon
collection, belong to the Servicer as additional compensation for its servicing activities. In the
event the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited
therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein
to the contrary notwithstanding.



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



     Section 3.11. Withdrawals from the Collection Account.



     (a) The Servicer shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Collection Account for
any of the following purposes or as described in Section 4.01:




     (i) on or prior to the Remittance Date, to remit to the Trust Administrator for deposit
into the Distribution Account all Available Funds in respect of the related Distribution
Date together with all amounts representing Prepayment Premiums from the Mortgage Loans
received during the related Prepayment Period;




     (ii) to reimburse the Servicer for P&I Advances, but only to the extent of amounts
received which represent Late Collections (net of the related Servicing Fees) of Scheduled
Payments on Mortgage Loans with respect to which such P&I Advances were made in accordance
with the provisions of Section 4.01;




     (iii) to pay the Servicer or any Subservicer (A) any unpaid Servicing Fees or (B) any
unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to each Mortgage Loan, but only to the extent
of any Late Collections, Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or
other amounts as may be collected by the Servicer from a





82









 









Mortgagor, or otherwise received with respect to such Mortgage Loan (or the related REO
Property);




     (iv) to pay to the Servicer as servicing compensation (in addition to the Servicing
Fee) on the Remittance Date any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in
the Collection Account;




     (v) to pay to the Originator, with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has previously
been repurchased or replaced pursuant to this Agreement all amounts received thereon
subsequent to the date of purchase or substitution, as the case may be;




     (vi) to reimburse the Servicer for (A) any P&I Advance or Servicing Advance previously
made which the Servicer has determined to be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable
Servicing Advance in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01 and (B) any unpaid
Servicing Fees to the extent not recoverable from Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds
or other amounts received with respect to the related Mortgage Loan under Section
3.11(a)(iii);




     (vii) to pay, or to reimburse the Servicer for advances in respect of, expenses
incurred in connection with any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.15;




     (viii) to reimburse the Servicer, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator or the Trustee for expenses incurred by or reimbursable to the Servicer, the
Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Trust Administrator, as the case may be,
pursuant to this Agreement;




     (ix) to reimburse the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the
Trustee, as the case may be, for expenses reasonably incurred in respect of the breach or
defect giving rise to the repurchase obligation under Section 2.03 of this Agreement that
were included in the Repurchase Price of the Mortgage Loan, including any expenses arising
out of the enforcement of the repurchase obligation, to the extent not otherwise paid
pursuant to the terms hereof;




     (x) to withdraw any amounts deposited in the Collection Account in error; and




     (xi) to clear and terminate the Collection Account upon termination of this Agreement.



     To the extent that the Servicer does not timely make the remittance referred to in clause (i)
above, the Servicer shall pay the Trust Administrator for the account of the Trust Administrator
interest on any amount not timely remitted at the prime rate, from and including the applicable
Remittance Date to but excluding the date such remittance is actually made.



     (b) The Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage
Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Collection Account, to the extent
held by or on behalf of it, pursuant to subclauses (a)(ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii)
and (ix) above. The Servicer shall provide written notification to the Depositor, on or prior





83









 







to the next succeeding Remittance Date, upon making any withdrawals from the Collection
Account pursuant to subclause (a)(vi) above.




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



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




	 	(x)	 	consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder,
demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted Investment
may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all
amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn on
such date; and
	 
	 	(y)	 	demand payment of all amounts due thereunder to the extent that
such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in
respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the Investment Account.





     (b) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the Collection
Account and Escrow Account held by or on behalf of the Servicer, shall be for the benefit of the
Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal in the manner set forth in Section 3.11. Any other
benefit derived from the Collection Account and Escrow Account associated with the receipt,
disbursement and accumulation of principal, interest, taxes, hazard insurance, mortgage blanket
insurance, and like sources, shall accrue to the benefit of the Servicer, except that the Servicer
shall not realize any economic benefit from any forced charging of services. The Servicer shall
deposit in the Collection Account and Escrow Account the amount of any loss of principal incurred
in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately upon
realization of such loss.



     (c) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the Distribution
Account held by the Trust Administrator, shall be for the benefit of the Trust Administrator. The
Trust Administrator shall deposit in the Distribution Account the amount of any loss of principal
incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately
upon realization of such loss.





84










 






     (d) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the
making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs in any other
performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Trustee shall take such action as may be
appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of
appropriate proceedings.



     (e) The Trustee and the Trust Administrator or their respective Affiliates are permitted to
receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in their respective economic
self-interest for (i) serving as investment adviser, administrator, shareholder, servicing agent,
custodian or sub-custodian with respect to certain of the Permitted Investments, (ii) using
Affiliates to effect transactions in certain Permitted Investments and (iii) effecting transactions
in certain Permitted Investments.



     Section 3.13. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance, Errors and Omissions and Fidelity
Coverage.



     (a) The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire insurance with
extended coverage on the related Mortgaged Property in an amount which is at least equal to the
least of (i) the current principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, (ii) the amount necessary to
fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such property on a
replacement cost basis, (iii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of
such Mortgaged Property, and (iv) the amount determined by applicable federal or state law, in each
case in an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to avoid the application of any
coinsurance clause contained in the related hazard insurance policy. The Servicer shall also cause
to be maintained fire insurance with extended coverage on each REO Property in an amount which is
at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a
part of such property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan at
the time it became an REO Property, plus accrued interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate and related
Servicing Advances. The Servicer will comply in the performance of this Agreement with all
reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any such hazard policies. Any amounts to
be collected by any Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the
restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or amounts to be released to
the Mortgagor in accordance with the procedures that the Servicer would follow in servicing loans
held for its own account, subject to the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage
Note) shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.11.
If the Mortgagor fails to provide Mortgage Loan hazard insurance coverage after thirty (30) days
of Servicer’s written notification, the Servicer shall put in place such hazard insurance coverage
on the Mortgagor’s behalf. Any out-of-pocket expense or advance made by the Servicer on such force
placed hazard insurance coverage shall be deemed a Servicing Advance. Any cost incurred by any
Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions
to the Trustee, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan,
notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that
no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor other than pursuant
to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such
additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property or REO Property is at any time in an area
identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having




85









 




special flood hazards and flood insurance has been made available, the Servicer will cause to
be maintained a flood insurance policy in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an
amount equal to the lesser of (i) the minimum amount required, under the terms of coverage, to
compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement cost basis (or the unpaid principal balance of
the related Mortgage Loan if replacement cost coverage is not available for the type of building
insured) and (ii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, as amended. If at any time during the term of the Mortgage Loan, the
Servicer determines in accordance with applicable law and pursuant to the Federal Emergency
Management Agency Guides that a Mortgaged Property is located in a special flood hazard area and is
not covered by flood insurance or is covered in an amount less than the amount required by the
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Servicer shall notify the related Mortgagor
to obtain such flood insurance coverage, and if said Mortgagor fails to obtain the required flood
insurance coverage within forty-five (45) days after such notification, the Servicer shall
immediately force place the required flood insurance on the Mortgagor’s behalf. Any out-of-pocket
expense or advance made by the Servicer on such force placed flood insurance coverage shall be
deemed a Servicing Advance.




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



     (b) The Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this Agreement a policy or policies of
insurance covering errors and omissions for failure in the performance of the Servicer’s
obligations under this Agreement. The Servicer shall provide the Trustee or Trust Administrator
upon request with copies of any such insurance policies and fidelity bond. The Servicer shall be
deemed to have complied with this provision if an Affiliate of the Servicer has such errors and
omissions and fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such insurance policy or fidelity bond,
the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Servicer. Any such errors and omissions policy and
fidelity bond shall by its terms not be cancelable without thirty days’ prior written notice to the
Trustee. The Servicer shall also cause each Subservicer to maintain a policy of insurance covering
errors and omissions and a fidelity bond which would meet such requirements.



     Section 3.14. Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.



     The Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance
of any Mortgaged Property by any Mortgagor (whether by absolute conveyance or




86









 




by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the
Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage
Loan under the “due-on-sale” clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided, however, that the
Servicer shall not be required to take such action if, in its sole business judgment, the Servicer
believes it is not in the best interests of the Trust Fund and shall not exercise any such rights
if prohibited by law from doing so. If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under
applicable law to enforce such “due-on-sale” clause or if any of the other conditions set forth in
the proviso to the preceding sentence apply, the Servicer will enter into an assumption and
modification agreement from or with the person to whom such property has been conveyed or is
proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note, and,
to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The
Servicer is also authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such person,
pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such person is substituted
as the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note; provided, that no such substitution
shall be effective unless such person satisfies the underwriting criteria of the Servicer and such
substitution is in the best interest of the Certificateholders as determined by the Servicer. In
connection with any assumption, modification or substitution, the Servicer shall apply such
underwriting standards and follow such practices and procedures as shall be normal and usual in its
general mortgage servicing activities and as it applies to other mortgage loans owned solely by it.
The Servicer shall not take or enter into any assumption and modification agreement, however,
unless (to the extent practicable in the circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in
writing, of the continued effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance policy, or a new policy
meeting the requirements of this Section is obtained. Any fee collected by the Servicer in respect
of an assumption or substitution of liability agreement will be retained by the Servicer as
additional servicing compensation. In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the
Mortgage Note (including but not limited to the related Mortgage Interest Rate and the amount of
the Scheduled Payment) may be amended or modified, except as otherwise required pursuant to the
terms thereof and in accordance with Section 3.01(c) herein. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee
that any such substitution, modification or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding
to the Trustee the executed original of such substitution or assumption agreement, which document
shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of
such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part
thereof.




     Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer
shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by
reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage
Note or any assumption which the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason
whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 3.14, the term “assumption” is deemed to also include a
sale (of the Mortgaged Property) subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption
or substitution of liability agreement.



     Section 3.15. Realization upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.



     The Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, to
foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert (which may include an acquisition of REO Property)
the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into




87









 




and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for
collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.07, and which are not released from this
Agreement pursuant to any other provision hereof. The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to
realize upon such defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner as will maximize the receipt of principal
and interest by the Trustee, taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure
proceedings. The foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which a Mortgaged
Property shall have suffered damage from an uninsured cause, the Servicer shall not be required to
expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its sole
discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the net proceeds of liquidation of the related
Mortgage Loan to the Trustee, after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such
expenses will be recoverable by the Servicer through Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or
Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 3.11. The
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 related
property, as contemplated in Section 3.11.




     The proceeds of any Liquidation Event or REO Disposition, as well as any recovery resulting
from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds or
any income from an REO Property, will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to
reimburse the Servicer or any Subservicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, pursuant
to Section 3.11 or 3.17; second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan or REO Imputed
Interest, at the Mortgage Interest Rate, to the date of the liquidation or REO Disposition, or to
the Due Date prior to the Remittance Date on which such amounts are to be distributed if not in
connection with a Liquidation Event or REO Disposition; third, to reimburse any Servicer for any
related unreimbursed P&I Advances, pursuant to Section 3.11; and fourth, as a recovery of principal
of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the recovery so allocated to interest is less than a full
recovery thereof, that amount will be allocated as follows: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees; and
second, as interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate (net of the Servicing Fee Rate). The portion of
the recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the Servicer or any
Subservicer pursuant to Section 3.11 or 3.17. The portions of the recovery so allocated to
interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate (net of the Servicing Fee Rate) and to principal of the
Mortgage Loan shall be applied as follows: first, to reimburse the Servicer or any Subservicer for
any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances in accordance with Section 3.11 or 3.17, and second, to
the Trust Administrator for distribution in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02, subject
to the last paragraph of Section 3.17 with respect to certain excess recoveries from an REO
Disposition.



     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a foreclosure or
acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Servicer has received actual notice
of, or has actual knowledge of the presence of, hazardous or toxic substances or wastes on the
related Mortgaged Property, or if the Trustee otherwise requests, the Servicer shall cause an
environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property to be conducted by a qualified
inspector. Upon completion of the inspection, the Servicer shall promptly provide the Trustee and
the Depositor with a written report of the environmental inspection.



     After reviewing the environmental inspection report, the Depositor shall determine how the
Servicer shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property. In the event (a) the




88









 




environmental inspection report indicates that the Mortgaged Property is contaminated by
hazardous or toxic substances or wastes and (b) the Depositor directs the Servicer to proceed with
foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer shall be reimbursed for
all reasonable costs associated with such foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of
foreclosure and any related environmental clean-up costs, as applicable, from the related
Liquidation Proceeds, or if the Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient to fully reimburse the
Servicer, the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from amounts in the Collection Account
pursuant to Section 3.11. In the event the Depositor directs the Servicer not to proceed with
foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer shall be reimbursed from
general collections for all Servicing Advances made with respect to the related Mortgaged Property
from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.11. Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer
shall be responsible for any direction given by the Depositor to the Servicer pursuant to this
paragraph.




     Section 3.16. Release of Mortgage Files.



     (a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a
notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the
Servicer will, within five (5) Business Days of the payment in full, notify the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator, as applicable, by a certification (which certification shall include a
statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment
which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.10 have been or
will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the Custodial File
by completing a Request for Release (in the form of Exhibit J or in an electronic format acceptable
to the Trust Administrator). Upon receipt of such certification and Request for Release, the
Trustee or Trust Administrator shall promptly release the related Custodial File to the Servicer
within three (3) Business Days. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of
satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection Account.



     (b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage
Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any Insurance Policy relating to the Mortgage
Loans, the Trustee or Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall, upon request of the Servicer and
delivery to the Trustee or Trust Administrator, as applicable, of a Request for Release (in the
form of Exhibit J or in an electronic format acceptable to the Trust Administrator), release the
related Custodial File to the Servicer, and the Trustee or Trust Administrator shall, at the
direction of the Servicer, execute such documents provided to it as shall be necessary to the
prosecution of any such proceedings and the Servicer shall retain the Mortgage File in trust for
the benefit of the Trustee. Such Request for Release shall obligate the Servicer to return each
and every document previously requested from the Custodial File to the Trustee or Trust
Administrator, as applicable, when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the
Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have
been deposited in the Collection Account or the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered
to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of
initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged
Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Servicer has delivered to the Trustee or
Trust Administrator, as applicable, a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name
and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such




89









 




document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a
certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all
amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation that are required to be
deposited into the Collection Account have been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan has become
an REO Property, a copy of the Request for Release shall be released by the Trustee or Trust
Administrator, as applicable, to the Servicer or its designee. Upon receipt of a Request for
Release under this Section 3.16, the Trustee or Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall deliver
the related Custodial File to the Servicer by overnight courier (such delivery to be at the
Servicer’s expense); provided, however, that in the event the Servicer has not
previously received copies of the relevant Mortgage Loan Documents necessary to service the related
Mortgage Loan in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, the Originator shall reimburse the
Servicer for any overnight courier charges incurred for the requested Custodial Files.




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



     Section 3.17. Title, Conservation and Disposition of REO Property.



     (a) This Section shall apply only to REO Properties acquired for the account of the Trustee
and shall not apply to any REO Property relating to a Mortgage Loan which was purchased or
repurchased from the Trustee pursuant to any provision hereof. In the event that title to any such
REO Property is acquired, the Servicer shall cause the deed or certificate of sale to be issued in
the name of the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders, or the Trustee’s nominee.



     (b) The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Trustee
solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale. The Servicer, either itself or through
an agent selected by the Servicer, shall manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO Property in
the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its
own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property
is managed. The Servicer shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same for a
period not greater than one year, except as otherwise provided below) on such terms and conditions
as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Trustee.



     (c) [Reserved.]




90









 





     (d) The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with
the operation of any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and
shall deposit such funds in the Collection Account.



     (e) The Servicer shall deposit net of reimbursement to the Servicer for any related
outstanding Servicing Advances and unpaid Servicing Fees provided in Section 3.11, or cause to be
deposited, on a daily basis in the Collection Account all revenues received with respect to the
related REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation,
management and maintenance of the REO Property.



     (f) The Servicer, upon an REO Disposition, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related
unreimbursed Servicing Advances as well as any unpaid Servicing Fees from proceeds received in
connection with the REO Disposition, as further provided in Section 3.11.



     (g) Any net proceeds from an REO Disposition which are in excess of the unpaid principal
balance of the related Mortgage Loan plus all unpaid REO Imputed Interest thereon through the date
of the REO Disposition shall be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation.



     (h) The Servicer shall use Accepted Servicing Practices, to sell, or cause the Subservicer to
sell, any REO Property as soon as possible, but in no event later than the conclusion of the third
calendar year beginning after the year of its acquisition by the REMIC unless (i) the Servicer
applies for, and is granted, an extension of such period from the Internal Revenue Service pursuant
to the REMIC Provisions and Code Section 856(e)(3), in which event such REO Property shall be sold
within the applicable extension period, or (ii) the Servicer obtains for the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel, addressed to the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Servicer, to the
effect that the holding by REMIC I of such REO Property subsequent to such period will not result
in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F of the Code or
cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or comparable
provisions of relevant state laws at any time. The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and
operate each REO Property for the Trustee solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale
in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property”
within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) or result in the receipt by any REMIC of any “income from
non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or any “net income
from foreclosure property” which is subject to taxation under Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code.
Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Servicer shall either itself or through an
agent selected by the 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 Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders, rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Servicer deems to be in the best
interest of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of
such REO Property; provided, however, that any rent received or accrued with
respect to such REO Property qualifies as “rents from real property” as defined in Section 856(d)
of the Code. Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer has any obligation with respect to REO
Dispositions.




91









 





     Section 3.18. Notification of Adjustments.



     With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall adjust the Mortgage Interest Rate on
the related Adjustment Date and shall adjust the Scheduled Payment on the related mortgage payment
adjustment date, if applicable, in compliance with the requirements of applicable law and the
related Mortgage and Mortgage Note. The Servicer shall execute and deliver any and all necessary
notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage
regarding the Mortgage Interest Rate and Scheduled Payment adjustments. The Servicer shall
promptly, upon written request therefor, deliver to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the
Master Servicer such notifications and any additional applicable data regarding such adjustments
and the methods used to calculate and implement such adjustments. Upon the discovery by the
Servicer or the receipt of notice from the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Master Servicer
that the Servicer has failed to adjust a Mortgage Interest Rate or Scheduled Payment in accordance
with the terms of the related Mortgage Note, the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account
from its own funds the amount of any interest loss caused as such interest loss occurs.



     Section 3.19. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Mortgage
Loans.



     The Servicer shall provide, or cause the Subservicer to provide, to the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer, the OTS or the FDIC and the examiners and
supervisory agents thereof, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans in its
possession required by applicable regulations of the OTS. Such access shall be afforded without
charge, but only upon 15 days’ (or, if a Servicer Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
2 days’) prior written request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer or
any Subservicer. Nothing in this Section shall derogate from the obligation of any such party to
observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the
failure of any such party to provide access as provided in this Section as a result of such
obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.



     Section 3.20. Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of the Servicer to Be Held for
the Trustee.



     The Servicer shall account fully to the Trustee for any funds received by the Servicer or
which otherwise are collected by the Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or
Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan. All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held
by, or under the control of, the Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the
collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds, including, but not
limited to, any funds on deposit in the Collection Account, shall be held by the Servicer for and
on behalf of the Trustee and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee,
subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer also agrees that it shall not
create, incur or subject any Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the Collection
Account, the Distribution Account or any Escrow Account, or any funds that otherwise are or may
become due or payable to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to any claim, lien,
security interest, judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, or assert by legal
action or otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage File or any funds collected




92









 





on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except, however, that the Servicer shall be
entitled to set off against and deduct from any such funds any amounts that are properly due and
payable to the Servicer under this Agreement.




     Section 3.21. Servicing Compensation.



     (a) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Servicer shall, with respect to each
Mortgage Loan, be entitled to retain from deposits to the Collection Account and from Liquidation
Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, and Condemnation Proceeds related to such Mortgage Loan, the
Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan (less any portion of such amounts retained by any
Subservicer). In addition, the Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees out of
related late collections and as otherwise permitted in Section 3.11. Except as provided in Section
6.06, the right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in
connection with the transfer of all of the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this
Agreement; provided, however, that the Servicer may pay from the Servicing Fee any
amounts due to a Subservicer pursuant to a Subservicing Agreement entered into under Section 3.02.



     (b) Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption or modification fees, late
payment charges, NSF fees, reconveyance fees and other similar fees and charges (other than
Prepayment Premiums) shall be retained by the Servicer only to the extent such fees or charges are
received by the Servicer. The Servicer shall also be entitled pursuant to Sections 3.09(b)(vi) and
3.11(a)(iv) to withdraw from the Collection Account, as additional servicing compensation, interest
or other income earned on deposits therein.



     (c) The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its
servicing activities hereunder (including payment of premiums for any blanket policy insuring
against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.13, servicing compensation of any Subservicer to the
extent not retained by such Subservicer and the fees and expenses of independent accountants and
any agents appointed by the Servicer), and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except
as specifically provided in Section 3.11.



     Section 3.22. Annual Statement as to Compliance.



     The Servicer will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trust Administrator, the Rating Agencies and the Trustee on or before March 15th of each
calendar year, commencing in 2006, an Officer’s Certificate stating, as to each signatory thereof,
that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of
performance under this Agreement or a similar agreement has been made under such officer’s
supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer
has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has
been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to
such officers and the nature and status thereof. Promptly after receipt of such Officer’s
Certificate, the Depositor shall review such Officer’s Certificate and, if applicable, consult with
the Servicer as to the nature of any defaults by the Servicer in the fulfillment of any of the
Servicer’s obligations.




93









 





     Section 3.23. Annual Independent Public Accountants’ Servicing Statement; Financial
Statements.



     Not later than March 15th of each calendar year commencing in 2006, the Servicer,
at its expense, shall cause a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public
accountants to furnish to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Rating
Agencies and the Trustee a report stating that (i) it has obtained a letter of representation
regarding certain matters from the management of the Servicer which includes an assertion that the
Servicer has complied with certain minimum residential mortgage loan servicing standards,
identified in the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers established by the
Mortgage Bankers Association of America, with respect to the servicing of residential mortgage
loans during the most recently completed calendar year and (ii) on the basis of an examination
conducted by such firm in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants, such representation is fairly stated in all material respects,
subject to such exceptions and other qualifications that may be appropriate. In rendering its
report such firm may rely, as to matters relating to the direct servicing of residential mortgage
loans by Subservicers, upon comparable reports of firms of independent certified public accountants
rendered on the basis of examinations conducted in accordance with the same standards (rendered
within one year of such report) with respect to those Subservicers. Promptly after receipt of such
report, the Depositor shall review such report and, if applicable, consult with the Servicer as to
the nature of any defaults by the Servicer in the fulfillment of any of the Servicer’s obligations.



     Section 3.24. Master Servicer to Act as Servicer.



     (a) In the event that the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer hereunder
(including by reason of a Servicer Event of Default), the Master Servicer or its successor shall
thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer hereunder arising thereafter
(except that the Master Servicer shall not be (i) liable for losses of such predecessor Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.10 or any acts or omissions of such predecessor 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 pursuant to Section 2.03, (iv) responsible for expenses of the
Servicer pursuant to Section 2.03 or (v) deemed to have made any representations and warranties of
the Servicer hereunder). Any such assumption shall be subject to Section 7.02.



     (b) If the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer (including by reason of any
Servicer Event of Default), the Master Servicer (or any other successor Servicer) may, at its
option, succeed to any rights and obligations of the Servicer under any Subservicing Agreement in
accordance with the terms thereof; provided, that the Master Servicer (or any other
successor Servicer) shall not incur any liability or have any obligations in its capacity as
successor Servicer under a Subservicing Agreement arising prior to the date of such succession
unless it expressly elects to succeed to the rights and obligations of the Servicer thereunder; and
the Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under the Subservicing
Agreement arising prior to the date of such succession.




94









 





     (c) The Servicer shall, upon request of the Master Servicer, but at the expense of the
Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Subservicing
Agreement (if any) and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of
amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and
efficient transfer of the Subservicing Agreement to the assuming party.



     Section 3.25. Compensating Interest.



     The Servicer shall remit to the Trust Administrator for deposit into the Distribution Account
on each Remittance Date an amount from its own funds equal to Compensating Interest payable by the
Servicer for such Remittance Date.



     Section 3.26. Credit Reporting; Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. 



     (a) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall fully furnish, in accordance with
the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete information
(e.g., favorable and unfavorable) on the related Mortgagor credit files to three of the national
credit repositories, on a monthly basis.



     (b) The Servicer shall comply with Title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 and all
applicable regulations promulgated thereunder relating to the Mortgage Loans and the related
borrowers, and shall provide all required notices thereunder.



     Section 3.27. Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account; Distribution Account.



     (a) The Trust Administrator shall establish and maintain the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account, on behalf of the Holders of the Class C Certificates, to receive any Net WAC Rate
Carryover Payments and any Corridor Agreement Payments and to pay to the Holders of the LIBOR
Certificates any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts. On each Distribution Date, the Trust
Administrator shall deposit the amount of any Corridor Agreement Payments for such date into the
Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.



     On each Distribution Date on which there exists a Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount on any Class
of LIBOR Certificates, the Trust Administrator shall (1) withdraw from the Distribution Account and
deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, as set forth in Section 4.02(a)(iii)(P), the
lesser of the Class C Distributable Amount as paid from the Class C Interest to the Class C
Certificateholder (to the extent remaining after the distributions specified in Sections
4.02(a)(iii)(A)-(O)) and the aggregate Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount and (2) withdraw from the Net
WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account amounts necessary to pay to such Class or Classes of
Certificates the applicable Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts. Such payments shall be allocated to
those Classes based upon the amount of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount owed to each such Class and
shall be paid in the priority set forth in Sections 4.02(a)(iii)(Q)-(R). In the event that the
Certificate Balance of any Class of Subordinate Certificates is permanently reduced because of
Applied Realized Loss Amounts, the applicable Certificateholders will not be entitled (except to
the extent of Subsequent Recoveries and as otherwise set forth herein) to receive Net WAC Rate
Carryover Amounts on the written down amounts on such Distribution Date or any future Distribution
Dates, even if funds are




95









 




otherwise available for distribution, unless the Certificate Balance of such Certificate is
later restored through Subsequent Recoveries.




     The Trust Administrator shall account for the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account as an
outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(h) and not as an
asset of any Trust REMIC created pursuant to this Agreement. The beneficial owners of the Net WAC
Rate Carryover Reserve Account are the Holders of the Class C Certificates. For all federal income
tax purposes, amounts transferred to the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall be treated as
first distributed by the Trust Administrator from REMIC II to the Holders of the Class C Interest
and then from the Holders of the Class C Interest to the Class C Certificates, and then contributed
by the Holders of the Class C Certificates to the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.



     Any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts paid by the Trust Administrator to the Holders of the LIBOR
Certificates shall be accounted for by the Trust Administrator as amounts paid first to the Holders
of the Class C Certificates in respect of the Class C Interest and then to the respective Class or
Classes of LIBOR Certificates. In addition, the Trust Administrator shall account for the rights
of Holders of each Class of LIBOR Certificates to receive payments of Net WAC Rate Carryover
Amounts as rights in a separate limited recourse interest rate cap contract written by the Holders
of the Class C Certificates in respect of the Class C Interest in favor of Holders of each such
Class.



     Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement, the Trust Administrator shall not
be required to make any payments from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account except as
expressly set forth in this Section 3.27(a).



     (b) The Trust Administrator shall establish and maintain the Distribution Account on behalf of
the Certificateholders. The Trust Administrator shall, promptly on the Business Day received,
deposit in the Distribution Account and retain therein the following:




     (i) the aggregate amount remitted by the Servicer to the Trust Administrator pursuant
to Section 3.11;




     (ii) any amount deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(b) 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 Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted, the
Servicer may at any time direct the Trust Administrator in writing to withdraw such amount from the
Distribution Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such direction may be
accomplished by delivering notice to the Trust Administrator which describes the amounts deposited
in error in the Distribution Account. All funds deposited in the Distribution Account shall be
held by the Trust Administrator in trust for the Certificateholders until disbursed in accordance
with this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with Section 4.02.




96









 





     Section 3.28. Optional Purchase of Delinquent Mortgage Loans.



     The Depositor, in its sole discretion, shall have the option, but shall not be obligated, to
purchase any 90+ Delinquent Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund. The purchase price for any such
Mortgage Loan shall be 100% of the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan plus accrued and
unpaid interest on the related Mortgage Loan at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate, plus the
amount of any unreimbursed Servicing Advances made by the Servicer. Upon receipt of such purchase
price, the Servicer shall provide to the Trustee or Trust Administrator, as applicable, a Request
for Release and the Trustee or Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall promptly release to the
Depositor, the Mortgage File relating to the Mortgage Loan being repurchased.



     Section 3.29. REMIC-Related Covenants.



     For as long as each Trust REMIC shall exist, the Servicer shall act in accordance herewith to
treat such Trust REMIC as a REMIC, and the Servicer shall comply with any directions of the Trustee
or the Trust Administrator to assure such continuing treatment. In particular, the Servicer shall
not (a) sell or permit the sale of all or any portion of the Mortgage Loans or of any investment of
deposits in either the Collection Account or the Distribution Account unless such sale is as a
result of a repurchase of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement or the Trustee and Trust
Administrator has received an Opinion of Counsel prepared at the expense of the Trust Fund stating
that such contribution will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event (as defined in Section 11.01(f));
and (b) other than with respect to a substitution pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
or Section 2.03 of this Agreement, as applicable, accept any contribution to any Trust REMIC after
the Startup Day (as defined in Section 11.01(b)) without receipt of an Opinion of Counsel stating
that such contribution will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event (as defined in Section 11.01(f)).



ARTICLE IIIA




ADMINISTRATION AND MASTER SERVICING OF

THE MORTGAGE LOANS BY THE MASTER SERVICER



     Section 3A.01 Master Servicer.



     The Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the obligation of the Servicer to
service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and shall
have full power and authority to do any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable in
connection with such master servicing and administration. In performing its obligations hereunder,
the Master Servicer shall act in a manner consistent with Accepted Master Servicing Practices.
Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall oversee and consult with the Servicer as necessary from
time-to-time to carry out the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder, shall receive, review and
evaluate all reports, information and other data provided to the Master Servicer by the Servicer
and shall cause the Servicer to perform and observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be
performed or observed by the Servicer under this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall
independently and separately monitor the Servicer’s servicing activities with respect to each
related Mortgage Loan, reconcile the results of such monitoring




97









 




with such information provided in the previous sentence on a monthly basis and coordinate
corrective adjustments to the Servicer’s and Master Servicer’s records. The Master Servicer shall
reconcile the results of its Mortgage Loan monitoring with the actual remittances of the Servicer
to the Distribution Account pursuant to the terms hereof based on information provided to the
Master Servicer by the Trust Administrator pursuant to the third paragraph of Section 8.01.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall have no
duty or obligation to confirm or verify the amounts reported by the Servicer as Realized Losses
with respect to any Determination Date unless the Servicer shall have failed the Servicer Enhanced
Review Test for such Determination Date.




     The Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer with any limited powers of attorney and other
documents in form as provided to it necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to
perform its master servicing obligations. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for any action
of the Master Servicer pursuant to any such limited power of attorney and shall be indemnified by

98









 





     (a) Subject to Section 3A.01, The Master Servicer shall be responsible for monitoring
compliance by the Servicer with its duties under this Agreement. In the review of the Servicer’s
activities, the Master Servicer may rely upon an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer with regard
to the Servicer’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event that the Master
Servicer, in its judgment, determines that the Servicer should be terminated in accordance with the
terms hereof, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to the terms hereof with respect to the
occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would constitute a Servicer Event of Default, the Master
Servicer shall notify the Servicer and the Trustee thereof and the Master Servicer shall issue such
notice or take such other action as it deems appropriate.



     (b) The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall
enforce the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement, and shall, in the event that the
Servicer fails to perform its obligations in accordance with this Agreement, subject to the
preceding paragraph and Article VII, cause the Trustee to terminate the rights and obligations of
the Servicer hereunder in accordance with the provisions of Article VII. Such enforcement,
including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims and the pursuit of other appropriate
remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master
Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related
Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense,
provided that the Master Servicer shall not be required to prosecute or defend any legal action
except to the extent that the Master Servicer shall have received reasonable indemnity for its
costs and expenses in pursuing such action.



     (c) The Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Servicer (or from amounts on
deposit in the Distribution Account if the Servicer does not timely fulfill its obligations
hereunder) for all reasonable out-of-pocket or third party costs associated with the transfer of
servicing from the predecessor Servicer (or if the predecessor Servicer is the Master Servicer,
from the Servicer immediately preceding the Master Servicer), including without limitation, any
reasonable out-of-pocket or third party costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer of
all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be
required by the Master Servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or
otherwise to enable the Master Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans properly and effectively,
upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses.



     (d) Subject to Section 3A.01, the Master Servicer shall require the Servicer to comply with
the remittance requirements and other obligations set forth in this Agreement.



     (e) If the Master Servicer acts as successor Servicer, it will not assume liability for the
representations and warranties of the terminated Servicer.



     (f) The Master Servicer shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of the Servicer.



     Section 3A.04 Fidelity Bond.



     The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a blanket fidelity bond and an
errors and omissions insurance policy, affording coverage with respect to all directors, officers,




99









 




employees and other Persons acting on such Master Servicer’s behalf, and covering errors and
omissions in the performance of the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder. The errors and
omissions insurance policy and the fidelity bond shall be in such form and amount generally
acceptable for entities serving as master servicers or trustees.




     Section 3A.05 Power to Act; Procedures.



     The Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and
authority, subject to the REMIC Provisions and the provisions of Article XI, to do any and all
things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the master servicing and
administration of the Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not
knowingly or intentionally take any action, or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any
action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein,
that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, would cause any REMIC
created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust
Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section
860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the
Code) unless the Master Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel (but not at the expense of the
Master Servicer) to the effect that the contemplated action will not cause any REMIC created
hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC created
hereunder. The Trustee shall execute and deliver such other documents, as the Master Servicer or
the Servicer may request, to enable the Master Servicer to master service and administer the
Mortgage Loans and carry out its duties hereunder, in each case in accordance with Accepted Master
Servicing Practices. If the Master Servicer or the Trustee has been advised that it is likely that
the laws of the state in which action is to be taken prohibit such action if taken in the name of
the Trustee or that the Trustee would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws
of such state if such action is taken in its name, the Master Servicer shall join with the Trustee
in the appointment of a co-trustee pursuant to Section 8.10. In the performance of its duties
hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be an independent contractor and shall not, except in those
instances where it is taking action in the name of the Trustee, be deemed to be the agent of the
Trustee.



     Section 3A.06 Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.



     To the extent Mortgage Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master Servicer
shall cause the Servicer to enforce such clauses in accordance with this Agreement.



     Section 3A.07 Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Master Servicer To Be
Held for Trustee.



     (a) The Master Servicer shall transmit to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator such
documents and instruments coming into the possession of the Master Servicer from time to time as
are required by the terms hereof to be delivered to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator. Any
funds received by the Master Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loan or which otherwise are
collected by the Master Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any
Mortgage Loan shall be remitted to the Trust Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account.
The Master Servicer shall, and, subject to Section 3.19, shall cause the Servicer to,




100









 




provide access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee,
its agents and accountants at any time upon reasonable request and during normal business hours,
and to Certificateholders that are savings and loan associations, banks or insurance companies, the
Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of such Office and
Corporation or examiners of any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority if
so required by applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision or other regulatory
authority, such access to be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request in writing
and during normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it. In
fulfilling such a request the Master Servicer shall not be responsible for determining the
sufficiency of such information.




     (b) All funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the Master Servicer, in respect
of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from
Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, shall be remitted to the Trust Administrator for
deposit in the Distribution Account.



     Section 3A.08 [RESERVED].



     Section 3A.09 Compensation for the Master Servicer.



     As compensation for the activities of the Master Servicer hereunder, the Master Servicer shall
be entitled to the Master Servicing Fee, payable to the Master Servicer by the Trust Administrator

payable to the Master Servicer in respect of any Distribution Date shall be reduced as applicable
in accordance with Section 3A.12. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses
incurred by it in connection with its ordinary activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to

Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and the Rating Agencies an Officer’s Certificate
certifying that with respect to the period ending December 31 of the prior year: (i) such Master
Servicing Officer has reviewed the activities of such Master Servicer during the preceding calendar
year or portion thereof and its performance under this Agreement, (ii) to the best of such Master
Servicing Officer’s knowledge, based on such review, such Master Servicer has performed and
fulfilled its duties, responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement in all material
respects throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such
duties, responsibilities or obligations, specifying each such default known to such Master
Servicing Officer and the nature and status thereof, (iii) nothing has come to the attention of
such Master Servicing Officer to lead such Master Servicing Officer to believe that

under this Agreement in all material respects throughout such year, or, if there has been a
material default in the performance or fulfillment of any such duties, responsibilities or
obligations, specifying each such default known to such Master Servicing Officer and the nature and
status thereof.




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

Agreement and pooling and servicing and trust agreements in material respects similar to this
Agreement and to each other and that, on the basis of such examination conducted substantially in
compliance with the audit program for mortgages serviced for Freddie Mac or the Uniform Single

activities have been conducted in compliance with this Agreement, or that such examination has
disclosed no material items of noncompliance except for (i) such exceptions as such firm believes
to be immaterial, (ii) such other exceptions as are set forth in such statement and (iii) such

subject to Section 4.01(c), the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of Scheduled Payments (with each
interest portion thereof net of the Servicing Fee), due during the Due Period immediately preceding
such Remittance Date in respect of the Mortgage Loans, which Scheduled Payments were not received
as of the close of business on the related Determination Date, plus (ii) with respect to each REO
Property, which REO Property was acquired during or prior to the related Prepayment Period and as

an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Scheduled Payments (with REO Imputed Interest) that
would have been due on the related Due Date in respect of the related Mortgage Loan, over the net
income from such REO Property transferred to the Collection Account for distribution on such
Remittance Date.



     (b) On the Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit in immediately available funds to the
Trust Administrator for deposit into the Distribution Account an amount equal to the aggregate
amount of P&I Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties for
the related Remittance Date either (i) from its own funds or (ii) from the Collection Account, to
the extent of funds held therein for future distribution (in which case, it will cause to be made
an appropriate entry in the records of the Collection Account that Amounts Held for Future
Distribution have been, as permitted by this Section 4.01, used by the Servicer in discharge of any
such P&I Advance) or (iii) in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total
amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties. Any Amounts Held for Future Distribution and so used shall be appropriately reflected
in the Servicer’s records and replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on or

removal thereof from coverage under this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Section.



     (d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance or Servicing Advance shall
be required to be made hereunder by the Servicer if such P&I Advance or Servicing Advance would, if
made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The
determination by the Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or a Nonrecoverable
Servicing Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance or Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute
a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance




103









 




or a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, respectively, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s

remaining amount from the related REMICs.





     If on any Distribution Date, as a result of the foregoing allocation rules, any Class of
Senior Certificates does not receive the related Current Interest or the related Unpaid Interest
Amounts, if any, then that unpaid amount will be recoverable by the holders of those Classes, with
interest thereon, on future Distribution Dates, as Unpaid Interest Amounts, subject to the
priorities described above. In the event the Class Certificate Balance of any Class of Subordinate
Certificates has been reduced to zero, that Class of Certificates shall no longer be entitled to
receive any related unpaid Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts.



     (b) On each Distribution Date, all amounts representing Prepayment Premiums from the Mortgage
Loans received during the related Prepayment Period shall be distributed to the holders of the
Class P Certificates (in respect of the Class P Interest). Such distributions shall not be applied
to reduce the Certificate Balance of the Class P Certificates (in respect of the Class P Interest).
On the Distribution Date in August 2008, the Class P Certificates (in respect of the Class P
Interest) shall be entitled to receive $100.00 in retirement of the principal balance of the REMIC
regular interest represented by the Class P Certificates, which distribution shall be made
immediately before any distributions pursuant to Section 4.02(a)(iii) on such Distribution Date.



     (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.02, if on any Distribution Date Senior
Certificates related to a Loan Group are no longer outstanding, the pro rata portion of the
applicable Principal Distribution Amount, otherwise allocable to such Senior Certificates will be
allocated among the remaining group or groups of Senior Certificates, on a pro rata basis based on
the outstanding aggregate Certificate Balance for such groups, in the same manner and order of
priority described in Section 4.02(a).



     (d) On any Distribution Date, any Relief Act Interest Shortfalls and Net Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls for such Distribution Date will be allocated pro rata, as a reduction of the Current
Interest for the LIBOR Certificates, based on the amount of interest to which such Classes would
otherwise be entitled on such Distribution Date.

     (a) Not later than each Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall make available to

timely and adequate notification to the Certificateholders and the parties hereto regarding

the content or accuracy of, any information provided by the Servicer for purposes of preparing the
above statement and may affix thereto any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable
discretion (without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto).



     As a condition to access the Trust Administrator’s internet website, the Trust Administrator
may require registration and the acceptance of a disclaimer. The Trust Administrator will not be
liable for the dissemination of information in accordance with this Agreement.



     Upon written request from any Certificateholder, the Trust Administrator shall provide the

requesting Certificateholder. The Trust Administrator’s responsibility for providing the
information provided for in Sections 4.03(d) to the Certificateholders is limited to the
availability and timeliness of the information provided by the Servicer. The Trust Administrator
shall provide the information provided for in Sections 4.03(d) in the same format as received from
the Servicer upon request by the Certificateholders. The Trust Administrator shall have no duty or
obligation to monitor, review or take any action regarding such information received pursuant to
Section 4.03(d) other than forwarding copies to Certificateholders. The Trust Administrator shall
have no liability for the accuracy, completeness or otherwise for such information.



     (c) Upon request, within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the
Trust Administrator shall cause to be furnished each Person who at any time during the calendar
year was a Certificateholder, a statement containing the information set forth in clauses (a)(i)
and (a)(ii) of this Section 4.03 aggregated for such calendar year or applicable portion thereof
during which such Person was a Certificateholder. Such obligation of the Trust Administrator shall
be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be
provided by the Trust Administrator pursuant to any requirements of the Code as are from time to

     (d) Not later than the Reporting Date, the Servicer shall furnish to the Trust Administrator
and the Master Servicer a monthly remittance advice statement (in a format mutually agreed upon by

     The Servicer shall furnish to the Trust Administrator an individual loan accounting report, as

     Section 4.04. Certain Matters Relating to the Determination of LIBOR.



     Until all of the LIBOR Certificates are paid in full, the Trust Administrator will at all
times retain at least four Reference Banks for the purpose of determining LIBOR with respect to
each LIBOR Determination Date. The Trust Administrator initially shall designate the Reference
Banks (after consultation with the Depositor). 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 Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator should terminate its appointment as Reference
Bank, the Trust Administrator shall promptly appoint or cause to be appointed another Reference
Bank (after consultation with the Depositor). The Trust Administrator 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 inability to retain at least four Reference Banks which is caused by
circumstances beyond its reasonable control.




118









 





     The Pass-Through Rate for each Class of LIBOR Certificates for each Interest Accrual Period
shall be determined by the Trust Administrator on each LIBOR 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. The Trust Administrator shall not have any liability or responsibility to
any Person for its inability, following a good-faith reasonable effort, to obtain quotations from
the Reference Banks or to determine the arithmetic mean referred to in the definition of LIBOR, all
as provided for in this Section 4.04 and the definition of LIBOR. The establishment of LIBOR and
each Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR Certificates by the Trust Administrator shall (in the absence
of manifest error) be final, conclusive and binding upon each Holder of a Certificate and the
Trustee.



     Section 4.05. Allocation of Realized Loss Amounts.



     Any Applied Realized Loss Amounts will be allocated to the most junior Class of Subordinate
Certificates then outstanding in reduction of the Class Certificate Balance thereof. In the event
Applied Realized Loss Amounts are allocated to any Class of Subordinate Certificates, their Class
Principal Balances shall be permanently reduced by the amount so allocated, and no funds will be
distributable (except to the extent of Subsequent Recoveries and as provided in Section
4.02(a)(iii) herein) with respect to the written down amounts (including without limitation Net WAC
Rate Carryover Amounts) or with respect to interest on the written down amounts on that
Distribution Date or any future Distribution Dates, even if funds are otherwise available for
distribution. Any Applied Class 1-A-2 Realized Loss Amounts will be allocated pro rata to the
Class 1-A-2 Certificates then outstanding in reduction of the Class Certificate Balance thereof.
In the event Applied Class 1-A-2 Realized Loss Amounts are allocated to the Class 1-A-2
Certificates, their Class Principal Balances shall be permanently reduced by the amount so
allocated; however, reimbursement of such Applied Class 1-A-2 Realized Loss Amounts, plus interest
accrued thereon from the time of application at the applicable Certificate Interest Rates, will be
made to the extent of Excess Cash flows available pursuant to Section 4.02(a)(iii)(A)(x) on that
Distribution Date or any future Distribution Dates.



     Section 4.06. Compliance with Withholding Requirements.



     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator
shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting payments to Certificateholders of
interest or original issue discount that the Trustee and the Trust Administrator reasonably believe
are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders shall not be required for such
withholding. In the event the Trust Administrator does withhold any amount from interest or
original issue discount payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal
withholding requirements, the Trust Administrator shall indicate the amount withheld to such
Certificateholders.



     Section 4.07. Commission Reporting.



     (a) The Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Servicer shall reasonably cooperate
with the Depositor in connection with the Trust’s satisfying the reporting requirements under the
Exchange Act. Except for the initial current report on Form 8-K in connection with the




119









 




filing of this Agreement, the Trust Administrator shall prepare on behalf of the Trust any
Forms 8-K described below, and the Trust Administrator shall execute and file such Forms 8-K (via
EDGAR) on behalf of the Depositor. The Depositor hereby grants to the Trust Administrator a
limited power of attorney to execute and file each such document on behalf of the Depositor. Such
power of attorney shall continue until the earlier of (i) receipt by the Trust Administrator or the
Master Servicer, as applicable, from the Depositor of written termination of such power of attorney
and (ii) the termination of the Trust.




     (b) The Trust Administrator shall file a Form 8-K (or other comparable form containing the
same or comparable information or other information mutually agreed upon) within 15 days after each
Distribution Date, with a copy of the statement to the Certificateholders for such Distribution
Date as an exhibit thereto. The Depositor hereby grants to the Trust Administrator a limited power
of attorney to execute and file each Form 8-K on behalf of the Depositor. Such power of attorney
shall continue until either the earlier of (i) receipt by the Trust Administrator from the
Depositor of written termination of such power of attorney and (ii) the termination of the Trust
Fund.



     (c) Upon any filing with the Commission, the Trust Administrator shall promptly deliver to the
Depositor a copy of any executed report filed by it with the Commission.



     (d) Prior to January 31, 2006, the Trust Administrator shall, in accordance with industry
standards, file a Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust Fund, if applicable.
Prior to March 31, 2006, the Trust Administrator shall file (but will not execute) a Form 10-K, in
substance conforming to industry standards, with respect to the Trust Fund, and shall forward such
Form 10-K to the Servicer for execution, and the Servicer shall execute the Form 10-K and return it
to the Trust Administrator for filing with the Commission by such date. The Depositor hereby
grants to the Servicer a limited power of attorney to execute the Form 10-K, and to the Trust
Administrator a limited power of attorney to execute the Form 15 Suspension Notice and to file each
such document on behalf of the Depositor. Such Form 10-K shall include as exhibits (i) the
Servicer’s annual statement of compliance described under Section 3.22 and the accountant’s report
described under Section 3.23, (ii) the Servicer Certification and (iii) the Master Servicer’s
annual statement of compliance described under Section 3A.10 and, if applicable, the accountant’s
report described under Section 3A.11. If the documents listed in the preceding sentence are not
timely delivered, the Trust Administrator shall file an amended Form 10-K including such documents
as exhibits promptly after they are delivered to the Trust Administrator. The Trust Administrator
shall have no liability with respect to any failure to properly or timely prepare or file such
periodic reports resulting from or relating to the Trust Administrator’s inability or failure to
obtain any information not resulting from its own negligence or willful misconduct. The Trust
Administrator shall have no responsibility to file any items other than those specified in this
Section 4.07.



     (e) The Trust Administrator shall deliver to the Depositor, on or before March 15 of each
calendar year beginning in 2006 (or, if any such day is not a Business Day, the immediately
preceding Business Day) or such alternative date reasonably specified by the Servicer which shall
occur not earlier than 15 days prior to the date any Form 10-K is required to be filed with the
Commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, a




120









 




certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M. Such certification shall be signed by
a senior officer of the Trust Administrator.




     The Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Administrator, at such time agreed upon between the
Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator, but in no event later than March 30th of
any calendar year in which the Trust Administrator is required to file a Form 10-K on behalf of the
Trust, the Servicer Certification. Such certification shall be signed by the senior officer in
charge of servicing of the Servicer. In addition, the Servicer shall provide such other
information with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the servicing and administration thereof within
the control of the Servicer which shall be required to enable the Trust Administrator to comply
with the reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended pursuant to
Section 4.07 hereof.



     (f) If the Commission issues additional interpretative guidance or promulgates additional
rules or regulations, or if other changes in applicable law occur, that would require the reporting
arrangements, or the allocation of responsibilities with respect thereto, described in this Section
4.07, to be conducted differently than as described, the Depositor, the Originator, the Master
Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Servicer and the Trustee will reasonably cooperate to amend
the provisions of this Section 4.07 (or other sections of this Agreement, if necessary) in order to
comply with such amended reporting requirements and such amendment of this Section 4.07. Any such
amendment shall be made in accordance with Section 10.01 without further consent of the
Certificateholders, and may result in the reduction of the reports filed by the Trust Administrator
on behalf of the Trust under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Depositor, the
Originator, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Servicer and Trustee shall not be
obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant to this Section 4.07 that adversely affects its
obligations and immunities under this Agreement.



     (g) In filing any Form 8-K or Form 10-K, the Trust Administrator or the Master Servicer,
respectively, shall not undertake any analysis of, and shall have no responsibility for, any
financial information, accountant’s report, certification or other matter contained therein, except
for computations performed by the Trust Administrator and reflected in distribution reports.

shall be distributed to the Class RX-III Interest or the Class RX-IV Interest, respectively.



     (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the above distributions in this

ARTICLE V

THE CERTIFICATES




     Section 5.01. 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.



     The Depositor hereby directs the Trust Administrator to register the Class C Certificates and
the Class P Certificates in the name of Fremont or its designee. Pursuant to written direction by
Fremont on the date specified thereon, the Trust Administrator shall transfer the Class C
Certificates and the Class P Certificates as follows: “Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Indenture
Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders of the Fremont NIM Trust 2005-C”, and deliver such Class C
Certificates and Class P Certificates to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as indenture trustee of the NIM
Trust.



     Subject to Section 9.02 respecting the final distribution on the Certificates, on each
Distribution Date the Trust Administrator 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 as
directed by that Certificateholder by written wire instructions provided to the Trust Administrator
or (y), in the event that no wire instructions are provided to the Trust Administrator, 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 Trust
Administrator by an authorized officer. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of
individuals who were, at the time such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the
Trust Administrator shall bind the Trust Administrator, notwithstanding that such individuals or
any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the countersignature and delivery of any 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




124









 




countersigned by the Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator on a
continuous basis, an adequate inventory of Certificates to facilitate transfers.



     Section 5.02. Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of
Certificates.



     (a) The Trust Administrator shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in accordance with the
provisions of Section 5.06, 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 Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator 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 Trust
Administrator. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trust Administrator
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 Trust Administrator duly executed by the holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing. In the event the Depositor or an Affiliate transfers the Class C Certificates, or a
portion thereof, to another Affiliate, it shall notify the Trust Administrator in writing of the
affiliated status of the transferee. The Trust Administrator shall have no liability regarding the
lack of notice with respect thereto.



     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 Trust Administrator in accordance with the Trust Administrator’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 applicable state securities
laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under said Act and such state securities laws.
Except with respect to the initial transfer of the Class C and Class P Certificates




125









 




to the NIM Trust, in the event that a transfer of a Private Certificate which is a Physical
Certificate 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 shall certify to the Trust Administrator in writing the facts surrounding the
transfer in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit H (the “Transferor Certificate”) and either
(i) there shall be delivered to the Trust Administrator a letter in substantially the form of
Exhibit I (the “Rule 144A Letter”) or (ii) in the case of the Class C Certificates, there shall be
delivered to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator at the expense of the transferor an Opinion of
Counsel that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act. In the event
that a transfer of a Private Certificate which is a Book-Entry Certificate 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 will
be deemed to have made as of the transfer date each of the certifications set forth in the
Transferor Certificate in respect of such Certificate and the transferee will be deemed to have
made as of the transfer date each of the certifications set forth in the Rule 144A Letter in
respect of such Certificate, in each case as if such Certificate were evidenced by a Physical
Certificate. 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, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Servicer shall
cooperate with the Depositor in providing the Rule 144A information referenced in the preceding
sentence, including providing to the Depositor such information regarding the Certificates, the
Mortgage Loans and other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably request
to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Private Certificate desiring
to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the 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.




     Except with respect to the transfer of the Class C and Class P Certificates to the NIM Trust,
no transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the Trust Administrator shall
have received either (i) a representation from the transferee of such Certificate acceptable to and
in form and substance satisfactory to the Trust Administrator (in the event such Certificate is a
Private Certificate or a Residual Certificate, such requirement is satisfied only by the Trust
Administrator’s receipt of a representation letter from the transferee substantially in the form of
Exhibit I), to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement
subject to Section 406 of ERISA or to Section 4975 of the Code or a person acting for, on behalf of
or with the assets of, any such plan or arrangement, (ii) in the case of an ERISA-Restricted
Certificate (other than a Residual Certificate, a Class C Certificate or a Class P Certificate)
that has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting and the purchaser is an insurance
company, a representation that the purchaser is an insurance company that 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 an ERISA-Restricted Certificate (other




126









 




than a Residual Certificate) presented for registration in the name of an employee benefit
plan subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any
subsequent enactments) or a person acting for, on behalf of or with the assets of, any such plan or
arrangement, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the
Servicer, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator,
the Master Servicer, the Servicer or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator, to the effect that the purchase or holding of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate will
not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975
of the Code and will not subject the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer, or the
Servicer to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement or to any
liability. For purposes of clauses (i) and (ii) above, with respect to an ERISA-Restricted
Certificate that is a book-entry Certificate, in the event the representation letter referred to
above is not furnished, such representation shall be deemed to have been made to the Trustee and
the Trust Administrator by the transferee’s (including an initial acquirer’s) acceptance of the
ERISA-Restricted Certificates. In the event that such representation is violated, or any attempt
to transfer to a plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or
a person acting for, on behalf of or with the assets of, any such plan or arrangement, without such
Opinion of Counsel, such attempted transfer or acquisition shall be void and of no effect.




     To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA), the Trust
Administrator shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration or transfer of any
ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(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 Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator shall not register the Transfer
of any Residual Certificate unless, in addition to the certificates required to be delivered
to the Trust Administrator under subparagraph (b) above, the Trust Administrator 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 G;




     (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,




127









 






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 5.02(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 5.02(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 Trust Administrator 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 5.02(b) and this Section 5.02(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 the Rule 144A Letter. The Trust
Administrator 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 Trust Administrator shall be paid and delivered by the Trust Administrator, to the last
preceding Permitted Transferee of such Certificate; and




     (v) The Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon receipt of written
request from the Trust Administrator, 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 5.02(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 Trust Administrator of an
Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Originator or the Servicer, to the
effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not cause any Trust REMIC 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 Trust Administrator, 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.



     (d) The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions referred to above in this
Section 5.02 in connection with transfer shall be at the expense of the parties to such transfers.




128









 





     (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 Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator
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 Trust Administrator 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 (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trust Administrator in writing that the
Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository,
and (ii) the Trust Administrator or the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, the
Trust Administrator 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 Trust
Administrator of the related Class of Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by the
instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trust Administrator shall issue the
Definitive Certificates. None of the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the
Depositor or 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 Depositor shall
provide the Trust Administrator with an 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 Trust Administrator, to the extent applicable with respect
to such Definitive Certificates and the Trust Administrator shall recognize the Holders of the
Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder; provided, that the Trust
Administrator 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.



     (f) Each Private Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer and accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI,
W-8BEN, W-8IMY (and all appropriate attachments) or W-9 in form satisfactory




129









 




to the Trust Administrator and the Certificate Registrar, duly executed by the
Certificateholder or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Certificate presented or
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently disposed of
by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with its customary practice. No service charge shall be
made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Private Certificates, but the Trust
Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Private
Certificates.




     Section 5.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.



     If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trust Administrator, or the Trust
Administrator receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trust Administrator
such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold each of them harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the Trust Administrator that such Certificate has been acquired by a protected
purchaser, the Trust Administrator 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 5.03, the Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator) connected therewith. Any replacement
Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.03 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 5.04. Persons Deemed Owners.



     The Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor and any
agent of the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor 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 none of the Servicer, the Trustee, the Depositor or any agent of the Servicer, the
Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor or the Trustee shall be affected by any
notice to the contrary.



     Section 5.05. Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses.



     If three or more Certificateholders (a) request such information in writing from the Trust
Administrator, (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 the Servicer shall request such information in writing from the Trust
Administrator, then the Trust Administrator shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt of
such request, provide the Depositor, the Servicer or such Certificateholders at such recipients’
expense the most recent list of the Certificateholders of such Trust Fund held by the Trust
Administrator, if any. The Depositor and every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a
Certificate, agree that the Trust Administrator shall not be held accountable by reason of the




130









 




disclosure of any such information as to the list of the Certificateholders hereunder,
regardless of the source from which such information was derived.




     Section 5.06. Maintenance of Office or Agency.



     The Trust Administrator will maintain or cause to be maintained at its expense an office or
offices or agency or agencies in Minneapolis, Minnesota where Certificates may be surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange. The Trust Administrator initially designates its offices
located at Sixth Street and Marquette Avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55479 for such purposes. The
Trust Administrator will give prompt written notice to the Certificateholders of any change in such
location of any such office or agency.



ARTICLE VI

THE DEPOSITOR, THE ORIGINATOR, THE MASTER SERVICER AND THE SERVICER




     Section 6.01. Respective Liabilities of the Depositor, the Originator, the Master
Servicer and the Servicer.



     The Depositor, the Originator, the Master Servicer and the Servicer shall each be liable in
accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically and respectively imposed
upon and undertaken by them herein.



     Section 6.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor, the Originator, the Master
Servicer or the Servicer.



     The Depositor, the Originator, the Master Servicer and the Servicer will each keep in full
effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation, national bank or state chartered
industrial bank, as the case may be, under the laws of the United States or under the laws of one
of the states thereof and will each obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a
foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to
protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to
perform its respective duties under this Agreement.



     Any Person into which the Depositor, the Originator, the Master Servicer or the Servicer may
be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the
Depositor, the Originator, the Master Servicer or the Servicer shall be a party, or any person
succeeding to the business of the Depositor, the Originator, the Master Servicer or the Servicer,
shall be the successor of the Depositor, the Originator, the Master Servicer or the Servicer, as
the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding;
provided, however, that such merger, consolidation or succession does not adversely
affect the then current rating or ratings on the Offered Certificates.



     Section 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Originator, the Master
Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Servicer and Others.



     None of the Depositor, the Originator, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the
Servicer nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be under any




131









 




liability to the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of
any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however,
that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Servicer or any such Person against any
breach of representations or warranties made by it herein or protect the Depositor, the Originator,
the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator or any such Person from any liability
which would otherwise be imposed by reasons of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence (or
gross negligence in the case of the Depositor) in the performance of duties or by reason of
reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Originator, the Master
Servicer, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Depositor, the Originator, the Master Servicer, the Servicer and the Trust Administrator may rely
in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person
respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Originator, the Master Servicer, the
Servicer, the Trust Administrator and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor,
the Originator, the Master Servicer, the Servicer and the Trust Administrator shall be indemnified
by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection
with any audit, controversy, judicial proceeding or legal action relating to a governmental taxing
authority or to this Agreement, the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans or any other unanticipated
or extraordinary expense, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence (or gross negligence in the case of the Depositor) in the
performance of their respective duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of their
respective obligations and duties hereunder. Neither the Originator, the Master Servicer, the
Depositor nor the Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any
legal action that is not incidental to its respective duties hereunder and which in its opinion may
involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that each of the Depositor, the
Originator, the Master Servicer and the Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action
(or direct the Trustee or the Trust Administrator to undertake such actions pursuant to Section
2.03 for the benefit of the Certificateholders) that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect
of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and interests of the Trustee and
the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and
any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and
the Depositor, the Originator, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee the Master Servicer and the
Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Collection Account.




     The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee from, and hold it harmless against, any
loss, liability or expense resulting from a breach of the Master Servicer’s obligations and duties
under this Agreement. Such indemnity shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement
and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. Any payment hereunder made by the Master Servicer
to the Trustee shall be from the Master Servicer’s own funds, without reimbursement from the Trust
Fund.



     Section 6.04. Limitation on Resignation of the Servicer.



     The Servicer shall not assign this Agreement or resign from the obligations and duties hereby
imposed on it except (i) by mutual consent of the Servicer, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trust Administrator and the Trustee or (ii) upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no
longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by




132









 




the Servicer without the incurrence of unreasonable expense. Any such determination
permitting the resignation of the Servicer under clause (ii) above shall be evidenced by an Opinion
of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator
and the Trustee which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the
Depositor, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Trustee. No such resignation shall
become effective until a successor shall have assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities and
obligations hereunder.




     Section 6.05. Additional Indemnification by the Servicer; Third Party Claims.



     The Servicer shall indemnify the Originator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator and the Trustee and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments,
and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain in any way related to any
breach by the Servicer of (i) any of its representations and warranties referred to in Section
2.03(a), (ii) any error in any tax or information return prepared by the Servicer, or (iii) the
failure of the Servicer to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the
terms of this Agreement. The Servicer immediately shall notify the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trust Administrator and the Trustee if such claim is made by a third party with respect to this
Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, assume (with the prior written consent of the Depositor, the Trust
Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Trustee) the defense of any such claim and pay all
expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge
and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or the Originator, the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee in respect of such claim.



     Section 6.06. Rights of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and
the Trustee in Respect of the Servicer.



     The Servicer shall afford (and any Subservicing Agreement shall provide that each Subservicer
shall afford) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee, upon
reasonable notice, during normal business hours, access to all records maintained by the Servicer
(and any such Subservicer) in respect of the Servicer’s rights and obligations hereunder and access
to officers of the Servicer (and those of any such Sub-Servicer) responsible for such obligations.
Upon request, the Servicer shall furnish to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator and the Trustee its (and any such Sub-Servicer’s) most recent financial statements
and such other information relating to the Servicer’s capacity to perform its obligations under
this Agreement that it possesses. To the extent such information is not otherwise available to the
public or is deemed confidential by the Servicer, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator and the Trustee shall not disseminate any information obtained pursuant to the
preceding two sentences without the Servicer’s (or any such Subservicer’s) written consent, except
as required pursuant to this Agreement or to the extent that it is necessary to do so (i) in
working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies, rating
agencies or reinsurers or (ii) pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ,
injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Depositor,
the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trust Fund, and in either case,
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the




133









 




Trustee, as the case may be, shall each use its best efforts to assure the confidentiality of
any such disseminated non-public information. Nothing in this Section shall limit the obligation
of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the
Mortgagors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section as a
result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section. Nothing in this Section
6.06 shall require the Servicer to collect, create, collate or otherwise generate any information
that it does not generate in its usual course of business. The Servicer shall not be required to
make copies of or ship documents to any party unless provisions have been made for the
reimbursement of the costs thereof.




     The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Servicer under this
Agreement and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted
obligation of the Servicer under this Agreement or exercise the rights of the Servicer under this
Agreement; provided that the Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations under this
Agreement by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. The Depositor shall not
have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Servicer and is not
obligated to supervise the performance of the Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.



     Section 6.07. Limitation on Resignation of the Master Servicer.



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



     Section 6.08. Assignment of Master Servicing.



     The Master Servicer may sell and assign its rights and delegate its duties and obligations in
their entirety as Master Servicer under this Agreement; provided, however, that: (i) the purchaser
or transferee accept in writing such assignment and delegation and assume the obligations of the
Master Servicer hereunder and that the purchaser or transferee (a) have a net worth of not less
than $5,000,000 (unless otherwise approved by each Rating Agency pursuant to clause (ii) below);
(b) be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, the Servicer and the Depositor (as evidenced in a
writing signed by the Trustee and the Depositor); and (c) execute and deliver to the Trustee and
the Depositor an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Depositor, which contains an assumption by such Person of the due and punctual performance and
observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by it after the date of such
assumption as master servicer under this Agreement; (ii)




134









 




each Rating Agency shall be given prior written notice of the identity of the proposed
successor to the Master Servicer and each Rating Agency’s rating of the Certificates in effect
immediately prior to such assignment, sale and delegation will not be downgraded, qualified or
withdrawn as a result of such assignment, sale and delegation, as evidenced by a letter to such
effect delivered to the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee; and (iii) the Master
Servicer assigning and selling the master servicing shall deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor
an officer’s certificate and an Opinion of Independent counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent to such action under this Agreement have been completed and such action is permitted by
and complies with the terms of this Agreement. No such assignment or delegation shall affect any
liability of the Master Servicer arising out of acts or omissions prior to the effective date
thereof.

Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Depositor, or to the Servicer, the Trustee,
the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Depositor by Certificateholders
entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights in the Certificates.



     If a Servicer Event of Default shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as
such Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Master Servicer, Trust
Administrator or the Trustee may, or at the direction of Certificateholders entitled to a majority
of the Voting Rights, the Trust Administrator shall direct the Trustee, and the Trustee shall, by




136









 




notice in writing to the Servicer (with a copy to each Rating Agency), terminate all of the
rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and
the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder; provided,
however, that the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall not be required to give written
notice to the Servicer of the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default described in clauses (ii)
through (x) of this Section 7.01(a) unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or a
Master Servicing Officer has actual knowledge of the occurrence of such a Servicer Event of
Default. In the event that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or a Master Servicing Officer has
actual knowledge of the occurrence of an event of default described in clause (i) of this Section
7.01(a), the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee shall give written notice to
the Servicer of the occurrence of such an event within one Business Day of the first day on which
the Responsible Officer obtains actual knowledge of such occurrence; provided that failure to give
such notice shall not constitute a waiver of such Servicer Event of Default. On and after the
receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer hereunder,
whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Master
Servicer. The Master Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf
of the 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 Servicer to pay amounts owed
pursuant to Article VIII. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Master Servicer in effecting
the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without
limitation, the transfer to the Master Servicer of all cash amounts which shall at the time be
credited to the Collection Account of such predecessor Servicer, or thereafter be received with
respect to the Mortgage Loans.




     Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of the Servicer hereunder, the Servicer
shall be entitled to receive from the Trust Fund, prior to transfer of its servicing obligations
hereunder, payment of all accrued and unpaid portion of the Servicing Fees to which the Servicer
would have been entitled and reimbursement for all outstanding P&I Advances and Servicing Advances,
including Servicing Advances incurred prior to but not invoiced until after the date of
termination, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, the Servicer shall
continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.03, notwithstanding any termination hereunder,
with respect to events occurring prior to such termination.



     (b) On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of
the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder
of any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Master
Servicer pursuant to and under this Section and, without limitation, the Master Servicer is hereby
authorized and empowered, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute and deliver on behalf of and
at the expense of the Servicer, any and all documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish
all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of
termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans
and related documents, or otherwise. The Servicer agrees, at its sole cost and expense, promptly
(and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to such notice) to provide the Master
Servicer with all documents and records requested by it to enable it to




137









 




assume the Servicer’s functions under this Agreement, and to cooperate with the Master
Servicer in effecting the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and rights under this
Agreement, including, without limitation, the transfer within one Business Day to the Master
Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts which at the time shall be or should have
been credited by the Servicer to the Collection Account held by or on behalf of the Servicer, or
any REO Account or Servicing Account held by or on behalf of the Servicer or thereafter be received
with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property. For purposes of this Section 7.01, the
Master Servicer shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Servicer Event of Default unless a
Master Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer has actual knowledge thereof or unless written
notice of any event which is in fact such a Servicer Event of Default is received by the Master
Servicer and such notice references any of the Certificates, the Trust, the REMICs or this
Agreement.




     The Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the defaulting Servicer (or by the
Trust Fund if such Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all reasonable
out-of-pocket or third party costs associated with the transfer of servicing from the predecessor
Servicer (or if the predecessor Servicer is the Master Servicer, from the Servicer immediately
preceding the Master Servicer), including without limitation, any reasonable out-of-pocket or third
party costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the
completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the Master
Servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the
Master Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans properly and effectively, upon presentation of
reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses.



     Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of the Servicer hereunder, the Servicer
shall be entitled to receive, out of any Late Collection of a Monthly Payment on a Mortgage Loan
which was due prior to the notice terminating such Servicer’s rights and obligations as Servicer
hereunder and received after such notice, that portion thereof to which such Servicer would have
been entitled pursuant to Section 3.11, and any other amounts payable to such Servicer hereunder
the entitlement to which arose in accordance with Section 3.11 and in the time period specified in
Section 3.11 prior to the termination of its activities hereunder. The Servicer shall continue to
be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.03, notwithstanding any termination hereunder with respect
to events occurring prior to such termination.



     (c) If any one of the following events (“Master Servicer Events of Termination”) shall occur
and be continuing:




     (i) any failure by the Master Servicer to deposit in the Distribution Account any
amount required to be deposited by it under the terms of this Agreement (including an
Advance required to be made pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof), which failure shall continue
unremedied for one Business Day after the date upon which written notice of such failure
shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor or to the
Master Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates having not less than 51% of
the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates; or




     (ii) any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to observe or perform in any
material respect any of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Master




138









 






Servicer contained in this Agreement, or the breach by the Master Servicer of any
representation and warranty contained in Section 2.07, which continues unremedied for a
period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same
to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Depositor, the Trustee,
or to the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; or




          (iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having
jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or
state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or the appointment of a conservator or receiver
or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities
or similar proceeding, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been
entered against the Master Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force
undischarged or unstayed for a period of 90 days; or




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




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



     If a Master Servicer Event of Termination described in clause (i) of this Section 7.03(c)
shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice to the Master Servicer and the Depositor, immediately
terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement (other than
as a Holder of any Certificate) and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. If a
Master Servicer Event of Termination described in clauses (ii) through (v) of this Section 7.03(c)
shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Master Servicer Event of
Termination shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice
in writing to the Master Servicer (and to the Depositor if given by the Trustee or to the Trustee
if given by the Depositor) with a copy to each Rating Agency, terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement, to the
extent permitted by law, in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. Upon such
termination, or on or after receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, as the case may
be, all authority, power and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with
respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans or
otherwise including, without limitation, the compensation payable to the Master Servicer under this
Agreement after the date of such termination, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant
to and under this Section, and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered,
as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the
Master Servicer, any and all documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts
or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to
complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage




139









 




Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees promptly (and in any
event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to such notice) to provide the Trustee with all
documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s functions under
this Agreement, and to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master
Servicer’s responsibilities and rights under this Agreement (provided, however, that the Master
Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this
Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination and shall continue to be entitled to the
benefits of Section 6.03, notwithstanding any such termination, with respect to events occurring
prior to such termination). For purposes of this Section 7.01(c), the Trustee shall not be deemed
to have knowledge of a Master Servicer Event of Termination unless a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee assigned to and working in the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge
thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Master Servicer Event of
Termination is received by the Trustee and such notice references the Certificates, the Trust or
this Agreement. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies of the occurrence of a
Master Servicer Event of Termination of which it has knowledge as provided above.




     To the extent that the costs and expenses of the Trustee related to the termination of the
Master Servicer, appointment of a successor Master Servicer or the transfer and assumption of the
master servicing by the Trustee (including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses
and all due diligence costs and expenses associated with an evaluation of the potential termination
of the Master Servicer as a result of a Master Servicer Event of Termination and (ii) all costs and
expenses associated with the complete transfer of the master servicing, including all master
servicing files and all master servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of
such master servicing data as may be required by the successor Master Servicer to correct any
errors or insufficiencies in the master servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor Master
Servicer to master service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement) and any other
master servicing transfer costs applicable with respect to a transfer of master servicing are not
fully and timely reimbursed by the terminated Master Servicer, the Trustee shall be entitled to
reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Distribution Account.



     Section 7.02. Master Servicer to Act; Appointment of Successor.



     (a) On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section
7.01, the Master Servicer shall, subject to and to the extent provided in Section 3.06, be the
successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement and the
transactions set forth or provided for herein, and shall immediately assume all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter (except for any
representations or warranties of the Servicer under this Agreement, the responsibilities, duties
and liabilities contained in Section 2.03(d)-(h)) by the terms and provisions hereof including,
without limitation, the Servicer’s obligations to make P&I Advances pursuant to Section 4.01;
provided, however, that if the Master Servicer is prohibited by law or regulation from obligating
itself to make advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans, then the Master Servicer shall not be
obligated to make P&I Advances pursuant to Section 4.01; and provided further, that any failure to
perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Servicer’s failure to deliver or provide, or
delay in delivering or providing, information, documents, records or cash as required




140









 




under this Agreement shall not be considered a default by the Master Servicer as successor to
the Servicer hereunder; and provided further, that it is understood and acknowledged by the parties
hereto that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual
servicing functions (other than the obligation to advance P&I Advances, which obligation shall
arise upon the receipt by the Servicer of notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01) can be
fully transferred to the Master Servicer or any successor Servicer appointed in accordance with
this Agreement. As compensation therefor, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing
Fee and all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans to which the Servicer would have been entitled if
it had continued to act as Servicer hereunder. Notwithstanding the above and subject to the
immediately following paragraph, the Master Servicer may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or
shall, if it is unable to so act promptly appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to
appoint, a Person that satisfies the eligibility criteria set forth below as the successor Servicer
under this Agreement in the assumption of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the
Servicer under this Agreement.




     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator or the Master Servicer be liable for any Servicing Fee or for any differential in the
amount of the Servicing Fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any successor
Servicer to act as successor Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or
provided for herein.



     Any successor Servicer appointed under this Agreement must (i) be an established mortgage loan
servicing institution, (ii) be approved by each Rating Agency by a written confirmation from each
Rating Agency that the appointment of such successor Servicer would not result in the reduction or
withdrawal of the then current ratings of any outstanding Class of Certificates, (iii) have a net
worth of not less than $30,000,000 and (iv) assume all the responsibilities, duties or liabilities
of the Servicer (other than liabilities of the Servicer hereunder incurred prior to termination of
the Servicer under Section 7.01 herein) under this Agreement as if originally named as a party to
this Agreement.




(b) (i) All Servicing Transfer Costs incurred by the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the
Master Servicer and any successor Servicer under paragraph (b)(2) below shall be paid
immediately by the terminated Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such
costs, and if such predecessor or initial Servicer, as applicable, defaults in its
obligation to pay such costs, the successor Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator and the Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor from the assets of
the Trust Fund.




     (ii) No appointment of a successor to the Servicer under this Agreement shall be
effective until the assumption by the successor of all of the Servicer’s responsibilities,
duties and liabilities hereunder. In connection with such appointment and assumption
described herein, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Master Servicer may make such
arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it
and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in
excess of that permitted the Servicer as such hereunder. The Depositor, the Trustee, the
Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer and such successor shall take such action,
consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such




141









 






succession. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer under this Agreement,
the Master Servicer shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided.



     Any successor to the Servicer as servicer shall give notice to the Mortgagors of such change
of Servicer, in accordance with applicable federal and state law, and shall, during the term of its
service as Servicer, maintain in force the policy or policies that the Servicer is required to
maintain pursuant to Section 3.13.



     Any such successor Servicer shall be required to satisfy the requirements of a successor
Servicer under this Section 7.02.

Event of Termination, the Trust Administrator or Trustee respectively shall transmit by mail to all
Certificateholders and each Rating Agency notice of each such Servicer Event of Default or Master
Servicer Event of Termination hereunder known to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as
applicable, unless such Servicer Event of Default or Master Servicer Event of Termination shall
have been cured or waived.



ARTICLE VIII

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE AND THE TRUST ADMINISTRATOR




     Section 8.01. Duties of the Trustee.



     The Trustee, before the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default or Master Servicer Event of
Termination and after the curing of all Servicer Events of Default or Master Servicer Events of
Termination that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as
are specifically set forth in this Agreement. In case a Master Servicer Event of Termination 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.



     Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions,
certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to it
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. Neither the
Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be responsible for the accuracy or content of any
resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order, or other instrument.



     The Trust Administrator agrees to notify the Master Servicer in writing no later than 5:00
p.m. New York time on each Remittance Date of the aggregate dollar amount of the funds




142









 




received by the Trust Administrator from the Servicer on such Remittance Date and any other
information reasonably requested by the Master Servicer, so as to enable the Master Servicer to
make the reconciliations and verifications required to be made by it pursuant to Section 3A.01.
Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be deemed to have knowledge of a Servicer
Event of Default or Master Servicer Event of Termination unless a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, respectively, has actual knowledge thereof or unless written
notice of any event which is in fact such a Servicer Event of Default or Master Servicer Event of
Termination is received by the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, respectively, and such notice
references any of the Certificates, the Trust, the REMICs or this Agreement.




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




     (i) The duties and obligations of the Trust Administrator, and with respect to the
duties and obligations of the Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of
Default or Master Servicer Event of Termination, and after the curing of all such Servicer
Events of Default or Master Servicer Events of Termination which may have occurred, shall be
determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator 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 or the Trust Administrator and, in the
absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable,
the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, 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 it that conform to the requirements of this Agreement;




     (ii) Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be personally liable for an
error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, unless it shall be proved that the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the case may be, was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts; and



     Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be personally liable with respect to any
action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction
of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights relating to the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, under this Agreement.



     Section 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee and the Trust Administrator.



     (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:




     (i) Each of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator may request and rely conclusively
upon and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon




143









 






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 reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to
have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;




     (ii) Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator may consult with counsel and any
written advice or 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 written advice or Opinion of Counsel;




     (iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be under any obligation to
exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute, conduct
or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction
of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such
Certificateholders shall have offered to it security or indemnity satisfactory to it against
the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing
contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligations, upon the occurrence
of a Servicer Event of Default or Master Servicer Event of Termination (which has not been
cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement,
and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs;




     (iv) Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be personally 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 conferred upon it by this Agreement;




     (v) The Trust Administrator shall not, and prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event
of Default or a Master Servicer Event of Termination hereunder and after the curing of all
Master Servicer Events of Termination which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be
bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order,
approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; provided, however,
that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as
applicable, 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 or the Trust Administrator, as
applicable, not reasonably assured to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable,
by such Certificateholders, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, may
require reasonable indemnity against such expense, or liability from such Certificateholders
as a condition to taking any such action;




     (vi) Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator may execute any of the trusts or
powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents,
custodians, nominees or attorneys and shall not be responsible for any willful misconduct or
negligence of such agents, custodians, nominees or attorneys (as





144










 






long as such agents, custodians, nominees or attorneys were appointed with due and
proper care);




          (vii) Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be personally liable for
any loss resulting from the investment of funds held in the Collection Account by the
Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12;




          (viii) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, none of the provisions of this
Agreement shall require the Trustee or the Trust Administrator to expend or risk its own
funds or otherwise to incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any
of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have
reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to
it against such risk or liability is not assured to it (not including expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as
applicable, including the compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and
counsel, in the ordinary course of its performance in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement); and




          (ix) Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be personally liable for any
loss resulting from any failure or omission of any other party to this Agreement to comply
with its obligations hereunder.



     (b) All rights of action under this Agreement or under any of the Certificates enforceable by
the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, may be enforced by it without the possession
of any of the Certificates, or the production thereof at the trial or any other proceeding relating
thereto, and any such suit, action or proceeding instituted by the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, as applicable, shall be brought in its name for the benefit of all the Holders of
such Certificates, subject to the provisions of this Agreement.




Section 8.03. Neither the Trustee Nor the Trust Administrator Liable for Certificates or
Mortgage Loans.



     The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the signature of the Trust
Administrator, the authentication of the Trust Administrator on the Certificates, the
acknowledgments of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator contained in Article II and the
representations and warranties of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator in Section 8.11) shall be
taken as the statements of the Depositor, and the Trustee does not assume any responsibility for
their correctness. Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator makes any representation or
warranty as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement (other than as specifically set forth
in Section 8.11) or of the Certificates (other than the signature of the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator and authentication of the Certificate Registrar on the Certificates) or the Corridor
Agreement (other than the signature of the Trustee) or of any Mortgage Loan or related document or
of the MERS® System. Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be accountable for the
use or application by the Depositor of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such
Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Depositor or the Servicer in
respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account by the
Servicer.




145









 





     Section 8.04. Trustee and Trust Administrator May Own Certificates.



     Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator in its individual or any other capacity may
become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it were not
the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable.



     Section 8.05. Fees and Expenses of the Trustee and Trust Administrator.



     (a) The Trust Administrator shall withdraw from the Distribution Account on each Distribution

immediately preceded the month of such Distribution Date. As additional compensation for all
services rendered by it in the execution of the Trust hereby created and in the exercise and
performance of any of the powers and duties of the Trust Administrator hereunder, the Trust
Administrator shall be permitted to retain the income, payable to the Trust Administrator from time
to time, from all income and gains (net of losses) on amounts on deposit in the Distribution
Account. The annual fees of the Trustee hereunder shall be paid in accordance with a side letter
agreement with the Trust Administrator and at the sole expense of the Trust Administrator. The

by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense (including any
unreimbursed fees or expenses for work relating to an appointment of a successor Servicer or a
successor Master Servicer under Article VII herein, but not including expenses, disbursements and
advances incurred or made by the Trustee (or its custodian) or the Trust Administrator, as
applicable, including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents
and counsel, in the ordinary course of its performance in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement) incurred by the Trustee or the Trust Administrator arising out of or in connection with
the acceptance or administration of its obligations and duties under this Agreement or the Corridor
Agreement, the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans, other than any loss, liability or expense (i)
resulting from the Trustee’s or the Trust Administrator’s actions or omissions in connection with
this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans, (ii) that constitutes a specific liability of the Trustee or
the Trust Administrator pursuant to Section 11.01(c), or (iii) any loss, liability or expense
incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties
hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder or as a result of
a breach of the its respective obligations under Article XI hereof. Any amounts payable to the
Trustee (or its custodian) or the Trust Administrator, and any director, officer, employee or agent
of the Trustee (or its custodian) or the Trust Administrator, in respect of the indemnification
provided by this paragraph (a), or pursuant to any other right of reimbursement from the Trust Fund
that the Trustee (or its Custodian), the Trust Administrator and any director, officer, employee or
agent of the Trustee (or its custodian) or the Trust Administrator, may have hereunder in its
capacity as such, may be withdrawn by the Trust Administrator from the Distribution Account at any
time. Such indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation of the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable.




146









 





     (b) The foregoing indemnity shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator.



     (c) Without limiting the Servicer’s indemnification obligations under Section 6.03, the
Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee, the Master Servicer, and the Trust Administrator from,
and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense resulting from a breach of the
Servicer’s obligations and duties under this Agreement. Such indemnity shall survive the

Trust Administrator. Any payment hereunder made by the Servicer to the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator shall be from the Servicer’s own funds, without reimbursement from the Trust Fund.



     The Trustee agrees to indemnify each of the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator from,
and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense resulting from a breach of the
Trustee’s obligations and duties under this Agreement. Such indemnity shall survive the
termination or discharge of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Master Servicer or
the Trust Administrator. Any payment hereunder made by the Trustee to the Master Servicer or the
Trust Administrator, as the case may be, shall be from the Trustee’s own funds, without
reimbursement from the Trust Fund.



     The Trust Administrator agrees to indemnify the Trustee from, and hold it harmless against,

the Trust Administrator to the Trustee shall be from the Trust Administrator’s own funds, without
reimbursement from the Trust Fund.



     (d) The Servicer shall pay any annual rating agency fees of S&P, Fitch and Moody’s for ongoing

     Section 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for the Trustee and Trust Administrator.



     Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator hereunder shall at all times be a corporation
or an association (other than the Depositor, the Originator, the Servicer or any Affiliate of the

thereof, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital
and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authority. If such corporation or association publishes reports of conditions at least annually,

Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall resign immediately in the manner and with

147









 





     Section 8.07. Resignation and Removal of the Trustee or Trust Administrator.



     The Trustee or the Trust Administrator may at any time resign and be discharged from the trust
hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master
Servicer, if the Trustee is resigning to the Trust Administrator and if the Trust Administrator is
resigning to the Trustee and the Certificateholders. Upon receiving such notice of resignation,
the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or successor trust administrator, as
applicable, by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the
resigning Trustee or Trust Administrator, as applicable, and to the successor trustee or successor
trust administrator, as applicable. The Depositor shall deliver a copy of such instrument to the
Certificateholders, the Master Servicer and the Servicer. If no successor trustee or successor
trust administrator, as applicable, shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment
within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee or Trust
Administrator, as applicable, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment
of a successor.



     If at any time the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written request by the
Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall become incapable of
acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator or of its respective property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take
charge or control of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator or of its respective property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor may
remove the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, and appoint a successor by written
instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, as applicable, so removed and to the successor. The Depositor shall deliver a copy
of such instrument to the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer and the Servicer.



     The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights may at any time
remove the Trustee or the Trust Administrator and appoint a successor by written instrument or
instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one
complete set of which instruments shall be delivered to the Depositor, one complete set to the
Trustee or Trust Administrator so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. The
Depositor shall deliver a copy of such instrument to the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer
and the Servicer.



     Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator and appointment of a
successor pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until
acceptance of appointment by the successor as provided in Section 8.08.



     Any resignation or removal of the initial Trust Administrator will result in the removal of
the initial Master Servicer.



     Section 8.08. Successor Trustee or Trust Administrator.



     Any successor appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to
the Depositor and to its predecessor an instrument accepting such appointment




148









 





hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor shall become effective
and such successor, 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 predecessor trustee or trust administrator shall deliver
to its successor all Mortgage Files and related documents and statements, as well as all moneys,
held by it hereunder (other than any Mortgage Files at the time held by a custodian, if any, which
custodian shall become the agent of any successor trustee hereunder), and the Depositor and the
predecessor trustee or trust administrator 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 or trust administrator shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor shall be eligible under the provisions
of Section 8.06 and the appointment of such successor shall not result in a downgrading of any
Class of Certificates by either Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency.



     Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee or trust administrator as provided in
this Section, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession to all Holders of Certificates at
their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice
within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor, the successor shall cause such
notice to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor.



     Section 8.09. Merger or Consolidation of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator.



     Any corporation into which the Trustee or the Trust Administrator may be merged or converted
or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall be a party, or any corporation
succeeding to the business of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, shall be the successor of the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, hereunder; provided, that such corporation shall
be eligible under Section 8.06 without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.



     Section 8.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. 



     Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal
requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund or property securing the same
may at the time be located, the Servicer and the Trustee, acting jointly shall have the power and
shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to
act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate
trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such
capacity, such title to the Trust Fund, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions
of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and the
Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Servicer shall not have joined in such
appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case a Servicer
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power




149









 





to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to
meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to
Holders of Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be
required under Section 8.08 hereof. Any reasonable and necessary expense of the Trustee related to
the appointment of a co-trustee or a separate trustee for the limited purpose of performing the
Trustee’s duties pursuant to this Section 8.10 shall be reimbursable from the Trust Fund.



     In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to 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, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any
particular act or acts are to be performed by the Trustee (whether as Trustee hereunder or as
successor to the defaulting Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to
perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the
holding of title to the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be
exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.



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



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

the Depositor, as of the Closing Date, that:

Mortgage Loan at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rates and (y) the unpaid principal balance of
each Mortgage Loan related to any REO Property, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest
thereon at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate (“Termination Price”); and (b) the later of (i)
the maturity or other Liquidation Event (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO Property and (ii) the distribution
to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to this Agreement.
In no event shall the trusts created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the
death of the survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United
States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date hereof.



     Section 9.02. Final Distribution on the Certificates.



     If on any Remittance Date, the 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 Collection
Account, the Servicer shall direct the Trustee and the Trust Administrator promptly to send a
Notice of Final Distribution to each Certificateholder. If the Servicer elects to terminate the
Trust Fund pursuant to clause (a) of Section 9.01, at least 20 days prior to the date the Notice of
Final Distribution is to be mailed to the affected Certificateholders, the Depositor shall notify
the Servicer, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator of the date the Depositor intends to
terminate the Trust Fund and of the applicable repurchase price of the Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties.



     A Notice of Final Distribution, 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 Trust Administrator by letter to Certificateholders mailed not later than the
15th day of the month of such final distribution. Any such Notice of Final Distribution shall
specify (a) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the Certificates will be made
upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office therein designated, (b) the amount of
such final distribution, (c) the location of the office or agency at which such presentation and
surrender must be made, and (d) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date
is not applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates at the office therein specified. The Trustee will give such Notice of Final
Distribution to each Rating Agency at the time such Notice of Final Distribution is given to
Certificateholders.



     In the event such Notice of Final Distribution is given, the Servicer shall cause all funds in
the Collection Account to be remitted to the Trust Administrator for deposit in the Distribution
Account on the Business Day prior to the applicable Distribution Date in an amount equal to the
final distribution in respect of the Certificates. Upon such final deposit with respect to the
Trust Fund and the receipt by the Trustee or the Trust Administrator of a Request for Release
therefor, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall promptly release to the Depositor or its
designee the Custodial Files for the Mortgage Loans.




152









 





     Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trust Administrator shall cause to be
distributed to the Certificateholders of each Class (after reimbursement of all amounts due to the
Servicer, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee hereunder),
in each case on the final Distribution Date and in the order set forth in Section 4.02, in
proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, with respect to Certificateholders of the same
Class, an amount up to an amount equal to (i) as to each Class of Regular Certificates (except the
Class C Certificates), the Certificate Balance thereof plus for each such Class and the Class C
Certificates accrued interest thereon in the case of an interest-bearing Certificate and all other
amounts to which such Classes are entitled pursuant to Section 4.02, (ii) as to the Residual
Certificates, the amount, if any, which remains on deposit in the Distribution Account with respect
to the related REMIC (other than the amounts retained to meet claims) after application pursuant to
clause (i) above.



     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
Trust Administrator 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 the Residual Certificates with respect
to their related REMIC shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets of the Trust Fund
which remain subject hereto.



     Section 9.03. Additional Termination Requirements.



     In the event the Servicer exercises its purchase option with respect to the Mortgage Loans as
provided in Section 9.01, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following
additional requirements, unless the Trustee and the Trust Administrator have been supplied with an
Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the Depositor, to the effect that the failure to comply with
the requirements of this Section 9.03 will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited
transactions” or “prohibited contributions” on any Trust REMIC as defined in the REMIC Provisions,
or (ii) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding:



     (a) The Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Fund to the Servicer for cash, and,
within 90 days of such sale, shall distribute to the Certificateholders the proceeds of such sale
in complete liquidation of each of the Trust REMICs, with final payment made to the related class
of Residual Certificates; and



     (b) The Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall attach a statement to the
final federal income tax return for each of the Trust REMICs stating that pursuant to Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860F-1, the first day of the 90-day liquidation period for each such Trust
REMIC was the date on which the Trustee sold the assets of the Trust Fund to the Servicer.




153









 





     By their acceptance of the Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby agree to authorize the
Trustee or Trust Administrator to specify the 90-day liquidation period for each REMIC created
hereunder, which authorization shall be binding upon all successor Certificateholders.

Administrator or the Trust Fund), adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder; provided, further, 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, the Originator, the Master Servicer,
the Trust Administrator and the Servicer also may at any time and from time to time amend this
Agreement, but 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
each Trust REMIC under the REMIC Provisions, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of
any tax on any Trust REMIC 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 the Trust Administrator 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 Servicer, the
Originator, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 66 2/3% of each
Class of Certificates affected thereby 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




154









 





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 clause (i), without the consent of the
Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing, as to such Class, Percentage Interests
aggregating not less than 66 2/3%, 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, neither of the Trustee nor the Trust
Administrator shall consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless (i) it shall have first
received an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such amendment will not adversely affect in any
material respect the interest of any Certificateholder and will not cause the imposition of any tax
on any Trust REMIC or the Certificateholders or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC
at any time that any Certificates are outstanding and (ii) the party seeking such amendment shall
have provided written notice to the Rating Agencies (with a copy of such notice to the Trustee and
the Trust Administrator) of such amendment, stating the provisions of the Agreement to be amended.



     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.01, with respect to any amendment
that significantly modifies the permitted activities of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the
Master Servicer or the Servicer, any Certificate beneficially owned by the Depositor or any of its
Affiliates or by the Originator shall be deemed not to be outstanding (and shall not be considered
when determining the percentage of Certificateholders consenting or when calculating the total
number of Certificates entitled to consent) for purposes of determining if the requisite consents
of Certificateholders under this Section 10.01 have been obtained.



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



     It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 10.01 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 either of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator to
enter into an amendment which modifies its obligations or liabilities without its consent and in
all cases without receiving an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion shall not be an expense of the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Trust Fund), satisfactory to the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, as applicable, 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 10.01.




155









 





     Section 10.02. 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 Servicer at the expense of the Trust, but only
upon receipt of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and
beneficially affects the interests of the Certificateholders.



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



     Section 10.03. Governing Law.



     THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK
WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS RULES (EXCEPT FOR GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW 5-1401 WHICH SHALL
APPLY HERETO) AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THE
CERTIFICATEHOLDERS SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.



     Section 10.04. Intention of Parties.



     It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance (i) of the Mortgage Loans
by the Depositor and (ii) of the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee each be, and be
construed as, an absolute sale thereof. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such
conveyances be deemed a pledge thereof. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of
the parties, such assets are held to be the property of the Depositor, as the case may be, or if
for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in either 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 conveyances 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 transferred, 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.




156









 





     Section 10.05. Notices.



     (a) The Trust Administrator shall use its best efforts to promptly provide notice to each
Rating Agency with respect to each of the following of which it has actual knowledge:




          (i) Any material change or amendment to this Agreement;




          (ii) The occurrence of any Event of Default that has not been cured;

     (b) The Trustee shall use its best efforts to promptly provide notice to each Rating Agency of
a Master Servicer Event of Termination to the extent it has actual knowledge thereof.



     (c) In addition, the Trust Administrator shall promptly make available on its internet website

157









 





     Section 10.06. Severability of Provisions.



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



     Section 10.07. Assignment; Sales; Advance Facilities. 



     (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as provided in Section
6.02, this Agreement may be assigned by the Servicer with the prior written consent of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee. In addition, for so long
as the Servicer is acting as the Servicer hereunder (i) the Servicer is hereby authorized to enter
into an advance facility (“Advance Facility”) under which (A) the Servicer sells, assigns or
pledges to an Advancing Person the Servicer’s rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for any
P&I Advances or Servicing Advances and/or (B) an Advancing Person agrees to fund some or all P&I
Advances or Servicing Advances required to be made by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement and
(ii) the Servicer is hereby authorized to assign its rights to the Servicing Fee; it being
understood neither the Trust Fund nor any party hereto shall have a right or claim (including
without limitation any right of offset) to the portion of the Servicing Fee so assigned; it being
further understood that upon the resignation or termination of the Servicer, such Advance Facility
(in the case of clause (i)) and such assignment (in the case of clause (ii)) shall be terminated.
No consent of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, Certificateholders or any other party is
required before the Servicer may enter into an Advance Facility. Notwithstanding the existence of
any Advance Facility under which an Advancing Person agrees to fund P&I Advances and/or Servicing
Advances on the Servicer’s behalf, the Servicer shall remain obligated pursuant to this Agreement
to make P&I Advances and Servicing Advances pursuant to and as required by this Agreement, and
shall not be relieved of such obligations by virtue of such Advance Facility.



     (b) Reimbursement amounts shall consist solely of amounts in respect of P&I Advances and/or
Servicing Advances made with respect to the Mortgage Loans for which the Servicer would be
permitted to reimburse itself in accordance with this Agreement, assuming the Servicer had made the
related P&I Advance(s) and/or Servicing Advance(s).



     (c) The Servicer shall maintain and provide to any successor Servicer a detailed accounting on
a loan-by-loan basis as to amounts advanced by, pledged or assigned to, and reimbursed to any
Advancing Person. The successor Servicer shall be entitled to rely on any such information
provided by the predecessor Servicer, and the successor Servicer shall not be liable for any errors
in such information.



     (d) An Advancing Person who purchases or receives an assignment or pledge of the rights to be
reimbursed for P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances, and/or whose obligations hereunder are
limited to the funding of P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances shall not be required to meet the
criteria for qualification of a Subservicer set forth in this Agreement.




158









 





     (e) The documentation establishing any Advance Facility shall require that such reimbursement
amounts distributed with respect to each Mortgage Loan be allocated to outstanding unreimbursed P&I
Advances or Servicing Advances (as the case may be) made with respect to that Mortgage Loan on a
“first-in, first out” (FIFO) basis. Such documentation shall also require the Servicer to provide
to the related Advancing Person or its designee loan-by-loan information with respect to each such
reimbursement amount distributed to such Advancing Person or Advance Facility trustee on each
Distribution Date, to enable the Advancing Person or Advance Facility trustee to make the FIFO
allocation of each such reimbursement amount with respect to each Mortgage Loan. The Servicer
shall remain entitled to be reimbursed by the Advancing Person or Advance Facility trustee for all
P&I Advances and Servicing Advances funded by the Servicer to the extent the related rights to be
reimbursed therefor have not been sold, assigned or pledged to an Advancing Person.



     (f) Any amendment to this Section 10.07 or to any other provision of this Agreement that may
be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an Advance Facility as described generally in
this Section 10.07, including amendments to add provisions relating to a successor Servicer, may be
entered into by the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the
Servicer without the consent of any Certificateholder, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, provided, that the Trustee and the Trust Administrator have been provided an
Opinion of Counsel that such amendment has no material adverse effect on the Certificateholders
which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting such opinion but in any case shall not be
an expense of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Trust Fund; provided, further, 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
(instead of obtaining an Opinion of Counsel) 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 rating 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. Prior to entering into an Advance Facility, the
Servicer shall notify the lender under such facility in writing that: (a) the Advances financed by
and/or pledged to the lender are obligations owed to the Servicer on a non-recourse basis payable
only from the cash flows and proceeds received under this Agreement for reimbursement of Advances
only to the extent provided herein, and the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Trust are not
otherwise obligated or liable to repay any Advances financed by the lender; (b) the Servicer will
be responsible for remitting to the lender the applicable amounts collected by it as reimbursement
for Advances funded by the lender, subject to the restrictions and priorities created in this
Agreement; and (c) neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall have any responsibility to
track or monitor the administration of the financing arrangement between the Servicer and the
lender.



     Section 10.08. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.



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




159









 





     No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as provided herein) or in any manner
otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties
hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth or contained in the terms of the Certificates be
construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of an
association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third party by reason of
any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.



     No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing itself of any provisions of
this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or
with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a
written notice of a Servicer Event of Default or a Master Servicer Event of Termination and of the
continuance thereof, as herein provided, and unless the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less
than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates shall also have made written request to
the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and
shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs,
expenses, and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its
receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have neglected or refused to institute
any such action, suit or proceeding; it being understood and intended, and being expressly
covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no
one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by
availing itself or themselves of any provisions of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice
the rights of the Holders of any other of the Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority
over or preference to any other such Holder or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in
the manner herein provided and for the common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the
protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 10.08, each and every
Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or
in equity.



     Section 10.09. Inspection and Audit Rights.



     The Servicer agrees that on 15 days’ prior notice, it will permit any representative of the
Depositor or the Trustee during such Person’s normal business hours, to examine all the books of
account, records, reports and other papers of such Person relating to the Mortgage Loans, to make
copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by independent certified public
accountants selected by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee
and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts relating to such Mortgage Loans with its
officers, employees and independent public accountants (and by this provision the Servicer hereby
authorizes said accountants to discuss with such representative such affairs, finances and
accounts), all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested. Any
reasonable out-of-pocket expense of the Servicer incident to the exercise by the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee of any right under this Section 10.09 shall
be borne by the Servicer.



     Section 10.10. Certificates Nonassessable and Fully Paid.



     It is the intention of the Depositor that Certificateholders shall not be personally liable
for obligations of the Trust Fund, that the interests in the Trust Fund represented by the
Certificates




160









 





shall be nonassessable for any reason whatsoever, and that the Certificates, upon due
authentication thereof by the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, are and shall be deemed fully
paid.



     Section 10.11. Waiver of Jury Trial.



     EACH PARTY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES (TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW) ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATING
TO THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH DISPUTE SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A
JURY.

governmental taxing authority is incurred by reason of the Trust Administrator’s willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence. The holder of the largest Percentage Interest of each Class
of Residual Certificates shall be designated, in the manner provided under Treasury regulations
section 1.860F-4(d) and Treasury regulations section 301.6231(a)(7)-1, as the tax matters person of
the related REMIC created hereunder. By its acceptance thereof, the holder of the largest
Percentage Interest of the Residual Certificates hereby agrees to irrevocably appoint the Trust
Administrator or an Affiliate as its agent to perform all of the duties of the tax matters person
for the Trust Fund unless another agent is appointed in such role for either the Class R or Class
RX Certificates.



     (d) The Trust Administrator shall prepare and file, and the Trustee shall sign, in a timely
manner all of the Tax Returns in respect of each REMIC created hereunder. The expenses of
preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Trust Administrator without any right of
reimbursement for such expenses. The Servicer shall provide on a timely basis to the Trust
Administrator or its designee such information with respect to the assets of the Trust Fund as is
in its possession and reasonably required by the Trust Administrator to enable it to perform its
obligations under this Article.



     (e) The Trust Administrator shall perform on behalf of each REMIC created hereunder all
reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of such REMIC under the Code,
the REMIC Provisions or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any
state or local taxing authority. Among its other duties, as required by the Code, the REMIC
Provisions or other such compliance guidance, the Trust Administrator shall provide (i) to any
Transferor of a Residual Certificate such information as is necessary for the application of any
tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to any Person who is not a Permitted
Transferee, (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code
or the REMIC Provisions including reports relating to interest, original issue discount and market
discount or premium (using the Prepayment Assumption as required) and (iii) to the Internal Revenue
Service the name, title, address and telephone number of the person who will serve as the
representative of each REMIC created hereunder. The Servicer shall provide on a timely basis to
the Trust Administrator such information with respect to the assets of the Trust Fund, including,
without limitation, the Mortgage Loans, as is in its possession and reasonably required by the
Trust Administrator to enable it to perform its obligations under this subsection. In addition,
the Depositor shall provide or cause to be provided to the Trust Administrator, within ten (10)
days after the Closing Date, all information or data that the Trust Administrator reasonably
determines to be relevant for tax purposes as to the valuations and issue prices of the
Certificates, including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected
cash flow of the Certificates.



     (f) The Trust Administrator and the Trustee shall take such action and shall cause each REMIC
created hereunder to take such action as shall be necessary to create or maintain the status
thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions (and the Servicer shall assist the Trustee and the
Trust Administrator, to the extent reasonably requested by the Trustee or the Trust Administrator
to do specific actions in order to assist in the maintenance of such status). Neither




162









 





the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall take any action, cause the Trust Fund to take
any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC
Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of any REMIC
created hereunder as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of any tax upon the Trust Fund
(including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2)
of the Code, the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either
(i) or (ii), an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator has
received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator (at the
expense of the party seeking to take such action but in no event at the expense of the Trustee or
the Trust Administrator) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to any
REMIC created hereunder, endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax, nor shall
the Servicer or the Master Servicer take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized
hereunder) as to which the Trustee and the Trust Administrator has advised it in writing that it
has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with
respect to such action; provided that the Servicer or the Master Servicer may conclusively rely on
such Opinion of Counsel and shall incur no liability for its action or failure to act in accordance
with such Opinion of Counsel. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC
created hereunder or the respective assets of each, or causing any REMIC created hereunder to take
any action, which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer and the
Master Servicer will consult with the Trust Administrator or its designee, in writing, with respect
to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any REMIC
created hereunder, and neither the Servicer nor the Master Servicer shall take any such action or
cause any REMIC created hereunder to take such action as to which the Trust Administrator has
advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur; provided that the Servicer and the
Master Servicer may conclusively rely on such writing and shall incur no liability for its action
or failure to act in accordance with such writing. The Trust Administrator may consult with
counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to
take the action not permitted by this Agreement, but in no event shall such cost be an expense of
the Trust Administrator. At all times as may be required by the Code, the Trust Administrator will
ensure that substantially all of the assets of each REMIC created hereunder will consist of
“qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and “permitted investments” as
defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.



     (g) In the event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC created
hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net income from foreclosure
property” of any such REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contributions to any
such REMIC after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is
imposed by the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws, such tax shall be
charged (i) to the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results
from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Article XI, (ii) to the Trust
Administrator pursuant to Section 11.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach
by the Trust Administrator of any of its obligations under this Article XI, (iii) to the Servicer
pursuant to Section 11.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the
Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or this Article XI, or otherwise (iv) against
amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account and shall be paid by withdrawal therefrom.




163









 





     (h) On or before April 15th of each calendar year (other than the calendar year during which
the Closing Date occurs), the Trust Administrator shall deliver to the Servicer, the Depositor, the
Trustee, each Rating Agency and the Counterparty an Officer’s Certificate from a Responsible
Officer of the Trust Administrator stating, without regard to any actions taken by any party other
than the Trust Administrator, the Trust Administrator’s compliance with this Article XI.



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



     (j) Following the Startup Day, neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall accept
any contributions of assets to any REMIC created hereunder other than in connection with any
Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in accordance with Section 2.03 unless the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the inclusion of such
assets in the Trust Fund will not cause the related Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at
any time that any Certificates are outstanding or subject such REMIC to any tax under the REMIC
Provisions or other applicable provisions of federal, state and local law or ordinances.



     (k) Neither the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer nor the Servicer shall
enter into any arrangement by which any REMIC created hereunder will receive a fee or other
compensation for services nor permit any such REMIC to receive any income from assets other than
“qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or “permitted investments” as
defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.



     (l) The Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall treat the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-2(h) that is
owned by the Holders of the Class C Certificates and that is not an asset of any REMIC. The
Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall treat the rights of the Holders of the Offered
Certificates and the Class B3 Certificates to receive payments from the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account as rights in an interest rate cap contract written by the Holder of the Class C
Certificates in favor of the other Certificateholders. Thus, each Certificate other than the Class
R, Class RX, Class C and Class P Certificates shall be treated as representing ownership of not
only Regular Certificates, but also ownership of an interest in an interest rate cap contract. For
purposes of determining the issue price of the Regular Certificates, the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator shall assume that the interest rate cap contract has a value of $10,000 and shall
allocate such value proportionately to each Class of Certificates entitled to receive Net WAC Rate
Carryover Amounts based on such Class’s initial Certificate Balance.



     (m) The Trust Administrator shall apply for an Employee Identification Number from the IRS via
a Form SS-4 or any other applicable method for all tax entities formed pursuant to this Agreement
and will also file a Form 8811 for each REMIC formed pursuant to this Agreement.




164









 





     Section 11.02. Prohibited Transactions and Activities.



     None of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the
Trustee shall sell, dispose of or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans (except in connection
with (i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to, the acquisition or sale
of a Mortgaged Property acquired by deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Trust
Fund, (iii) the termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement, (iv) a
substitution pursuant to Article II of this Agreement or (v) a purchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant
to Article II or III of this Agreement), nor acquire any assets for any REMIC created hereunder
(other than REO Property acquired in respect of a defaulted Mortgage Loan), nor sell or dispose of
any investments in the Collection Account or the Distribution Account for gain, nor accept any
contributions to any REMIC created hereunder after the Closing Date (other than a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in accordance with Section 2.03), unless it has received an
Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator (at the expense of the
party seeking to cause such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution but in no
event at the expense of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator) that such sale, disposition,
substitution, acquisition or contribution will not (a) affect adversely the status of any REMIC
created hereunder as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or (b) cause any
REMIC created hereunder to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” or “prohibited
contributions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.



     Section 11.03. Indemnification.



     (a) The Trustee agrees to indemnify, severally and not jointly, the Trust Fund, the Depositor,
the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Servicer for any taxes and costs including,
without limitation, any reasonable attorneys fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the
Depositor, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Servicer, as a result of a breach of
its respective covenants set forth in this Article XI.



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



     (c) The Trust Administrator agrees to indemnify, severally and not jointly, the Trust Fund,
the Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer for any taxes and costs including, without limitation,
any reasonable attorneys’ fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the Depositor, the Trustee
or the Servicer, as a result of a breach of its covenants set forth in this Article XI.



     (d) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify, severally and not jointly, the Trust Fund, the
Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Servicer for any taxes and costs including,
without limitation, any reasonable attorneys’ fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the
Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Servicer, as a result of a breach of its
covenants set forth in this Article XI.
