                             PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

                  The Depositor intends to sell pass-through certificates to be
issued hereunder in multiple classes, which in the aggregate will evidence the
entire beneficial ownership interest in each REMIC (as defined herein) created
hereunder. The Trust Fund will consist of a segregated pool of assets comprised
of the Mortgage Loans and certain other related assets subject to this
Agreement.

                                     REMIC I
                                     -------

                  As provided herein, the Trustee will elect to treat the
segregated pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other
related assets (other than any Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts, the
Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account and the Cap Contracts) subject to this
Agreement as 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 be the
sole class of "residual interests" in REMIC I for purposes of the REMIC
Provisions (as defined herein). The following table irrevocably sets forth the
designation, the REMIC I Remittance Rate, the initial Uncertificated Balance
and, for purposes of satisfying Treasury regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii),

                          CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS;
                        ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES

                  SECTION 2.01. Conveyance of the Mortgage Loans.

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

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

                  (i) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed in blank or in the
         following form: "Pay to the order of Deutsche Bank National Trust
         Company, as Trustee under the applicable agreement, without recourse,"
         with all prior and intervening endorsements showing a complete chain of
         endorsement from the originator to the Person so endorsing to the
         Trustee;

                  (ii) the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon,
         and the original recorded power of attorney, if the Mortgage was
         executed pursuant to a power of attorney, with evidence of recording
         thereon;

                  (iii) an original Assignment in blank;

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

                  (v) the original or copies of each assumption, modification,
         written assurance or substitution agreement, if any; and

                  (vi) the original lender's title insurance policy, together
         with all endorsements or riders that were issued with or subsequent to
         the issuance of such policy, insuring the priority of the Mortgage as a
         first or second lien on the Mortgaged Property represented therein as a
         fee interest vested in the Mortgagor, or in the event such original
         title policy is unavailable, a written commitment or uniform binder or
         preliminary report of title issued by the title insurance or escrow
         company.

                  With respect to a maximum of approximately 2.00% of the
Original Mortgage Loans, by outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans as of the Cut-off Date, if any original Mortgage Note referred to in
Section 2.01(i) above cannot be located, the obligations of the Depositor to
deliver such documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon delivery to the
Trustee of a photocopy of such Mortgage Note, if available, with a lost note
affidavit substantially in the form of Exhibit H attached hereto. If any of the
original Mortgage Notes for which a lost note affidavit was delivered to the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee is subsequently located, such original
Mortgage Note shall be delivered to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee
within three Business Days.

                  If any of the documents referred to in Sections 2.01(ii),
(iii) or (iv) above has, as of the Closing Date, been submitted for recording
but either (x) has not been returned from the applicable public recording office
or (y) has been lost or such public recording office has retained the original
of such document, the obligations of the Depositor to deliver such documents
shall be deemed to be satisfied upon (1) delivery to the Custodian on behalf of
the Trustee of a copy of each such document certified by the Originator in the
case of (x) above or the applicable public recording office in the case of (y)
above to be a true and complete copy of the original that was submitted for
recording and (2) if such copy is certified by the Originator, delivery to the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, promptly upon receipt thereof of either the
original or a copy of such document certified by the applicable public recording
office to be a true and complete copy of the original. Pursuant to the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement, notice shall be provided to the Trustee and the Rating
Agencies by the Originator if delivery pursuant to clause (2) above will be made
more than 180 days after the Closing Date.

                  If the original lender's title insurance policy was not
delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(vi) above, the Depositor shall deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, promptly after
receipt thereof, the original lender's title insurance policy. The Depositor
shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee, promptly upon receipt thereof any other original documents constituting
a part of a Mortgage File received with respect to any Mortgage Loan, including,
but not limited to, any original documents evidencing an assumption or
modification of any Mortgage Loan.

                  The Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Seller under
the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to promptly (within sixty Business Days
following the later of the Closing Date and the date of receipt by the Custodian
of the recording information for a Mortgage (of which the Custodian has notified
the Trustee in writing), but in no event later than ninety days following the
Closing Date) submit or cause to be submitted for recording, at the expense of
the Responsible Party and at no expense to the Trust Fund, the Trustee or the
Depositor, in the appropriate public office for real property records, each
Assignment referred to in Sections 2.01(iii) and (iv) above and the Depositor
shall execute each original Assignment or cause each original Assignment to be
executed in the following form: "Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as
Trustee under the applicable agreement." In the event that any such Assignment
is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Seller shall
under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement promptly prepare or cause to be
prepared (at the expense of the Responsible Party) a substitute Assignment or
cure or cause to be cured such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter cause
each such Assignment to be duly recorded. If the Responsible Party is unable to
pay the cost of recording the Assignments, such expense will be paid by the
Trustee out of the Trust Fund and shall constitute an Extraordinary Trust Fund
Expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor the Custodian
shall be responsible for determining whether any Assignment delivered by the
Depositor, the Responsible Party or the Seller hereunder is in recordable form.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, for administrative
convenience and facilitation of servicing and to reduce closing costs, the
Assignments shall not be required to be submitted for recording (except with
respect to any Mortgage Loan located in Maryland) unless the Trustee or the
Depositor receives written notice that such failure to record would result in a
withdrawal or a downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of
Certificates; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the Trustee shall enforce the obligations of
the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to submit or cause to be
submitted each Assignment for recording in the manner described above, at no
expense to the Trust Fund or the Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of: (i)
written direction by Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the
Voting Rights received by the Trustee, (ii) the occurrence of a Servicer Event
of Default, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure
relating to the Servicer, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as
described in Section 7.02 hereof, (v) with respect to any one Assignment, the
occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor
under the related Mortgage and (vi) any Mortgage Loan that is 90 days or more
Delinquent; provided that in each such case, a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee has received notice thereof from the Servicer. Upon receipt of written
notice by the Trustee from the Servicer that recording of the Assignments is
required pursuant to one or more of the conditions set forth in the preceding
sentence, the Seller shall under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement be
required to deliver such Assignments or shall cause such Assignments to be
delivered within 30 days following receipt of such notice from the Seller or the
Responsible Party for recordation thereof.

                  All original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans that are
not delivered to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee are and shall be held by
or on behalf of the Originator, the Seller, the Depositor or the Servicer, as
the case may be, in trust for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders. In the event that any such original document is required
pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.01 to be a part of a Mortgage File, such
document shall be delivered promptly to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee.
Any such original document delivered to or held by the Depositor that is not
required pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage File,
shall be delivered promptly to the Servicer.

                  The parties hereto understand and agree that it is not
intended that any Mortgage Loan be included in the Trust that is a high-cost
home loan as defined by the Homeownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 or
any other applicable predatory or abusive lending laws.

                  The Depositor hereby directs the Trustee to execute, deliver
and perform its obligations under the Cap Contracts on the Closing Date and
thereafter on behalf of the Holders of the Class A Certificates and Mezzanine
Certificates. The Depositor, the Servicer and the Holders of the Class A
Certificates and Mezzanine Certificates by their acceptance of such Certificates
acknowledge and agree that the Trustee shall execute, deliver and perform
obligations under the Cap Contracts and shall do so solely in its capacity as
Trustee of the Trust Fund and not in its individual capacity.

                  SECTION 2.02. Acceptance of REMIC I by Trustee.

                  The Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee)
acknowledges receipt, subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to
any exceptions noted on the exception report described in the next paragraph
below, of the documents referred to in Section 2.01 (other than such documents
described in Section 2.01(v)) above and all other assets included in the
definition of "REMIC I" under clauses (i), (iii), (iv) and (v) (to the extent of
amounts deposited into the Distribution Account) and declares that it holds and
will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting a
Mortgage File, and that it holds or will hold all such assets and such other
assets included in the definition of "REMIC I" in trust for the exclusive use
and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.

                  The Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, shall
cause the Custodian to review each Mortgage File in accordance with the
Custodial Agreement, on or before the Closing Date, and the Trustee shall cause
the Custodian to certify in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit
C-1 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 the exception report annexed thereto as not being covered by such
certification), (i) all documents constituting part of such Mortgage File (other
than such documents described in Section 2.01(v)) required to be delivered to it
pursuant to this Agreement are in its possession, (ii) such documents have been
reviewed by the Trustee and appear regular on their face and relate to such
Mortgage Loan and (iii) based on the Trustee's examination and only as to the
foregoing, the Mortgagor's Name and the street address and city of the Mortgaged
Property, and the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that
corresponds to items (i), (iii), (xii), (xv) and (xix) of the definition of
"Mortgage Loan Schedule" accurately reflects information set forth in the
Mortgage File. It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review, the
Trustee (or the Custodian, as applicable) is under no duty or obligation (i) to
inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or
other papers to determine whether they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate
for the represented purpose or whether they have actually been recorded or that
they are other than what they purport to be on their face or (ii) to determine
whether any Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified in
clause (v) of Section 2.01.

                  Prior to the first anniversary date of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall cause the Custodian to deliver as required under the Custodial
Agreement to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer a final certification
in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C-2 evidencing the completeness of the
Mortgage Files, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon, and the Servicer
shall forward a copy thereof to any Sub-Servicer.

                  If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making
or preparing, as the case may be, the certifications referred to above, the
Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, finds any document or documents
constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or defective in any
material respect, at the conclusion of its review the Custodian, on behalf of
the Trustee, shall so notify the Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer. In
addition, upon the discovery by the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee of a
breach of any of the representations and warranties made by the Originator or
the Seller in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage
Loan which materially adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests of
the related Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.

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

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

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

                  (a) Upon discovery or receipt of notice of any materially
defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of
the breach by the Responsible Party or the Seller of any representation,
warranty or covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (including any
representation, warranty or covenant regarding the Prepayment Charge Schedule)
in respect of any Mortgage Loan that materially adversely affects the value of
such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, the
Trustee shall promptly notify the Responsible Party, the Seller and the Servicer
of such defect, missing document or breach and request that the Responsible
Party or the Seller, as applicable, deliver such missing document or cure such
defect or breach within 90 days from the date the Responsible Party or the
Seller, as applicable, was notified of such missing document, defect or breach,
and if the Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable, does not deliver such
missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects during
such period, the Trustee upon receipt of written notice of such failure shall
enforce the obligations of the Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable,
under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from
REMIC I at the Purchase Price within 90 days after the date on which the
Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable, was notified (subject to Section
2.03(c)) of such missing document, defect or breach, if and to the extent that
the Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable, is obligated to do so under
the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Price for the repurchased
Mortgage Loan shall be remitted to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection
Account and the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), upon
receipt of written certification from the Servicer of such deposit, shall
release to the Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable, the related
Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or
assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Responsible Party or the
Seller, as applicable, shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in
the Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable, any Mortgage Loan released
pursuant hereto. The Trustee shall not have any further responsibility with
regard to such Mortgage File (it being understood that neither the Trustee nor
the Custodian shall have any responsibility for determining the sufficiency of
such assignment for its intended purpose). In lieu of repurchasing any such
Mortgage Loan as provided above, if so provided in the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, the Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable, may cause such
Mortgage Loan to be removed from REMIC I (in which case it shall become a
Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(b);
provided, however, the Responsible Party may not substitute a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan for any Deleted Mortgage Loan that violates any
predatory or abusive lending law. It is understood and agreed that the
obligation of the Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable, to cure or to
repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document is
missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which such
a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy
respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee and the
Certificateholders.

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

                  As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Responsible
Party or the Seller, as applicable, substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Responsible Party or
the Seller, as applicable, delivering to the Custodian, on behalf of the
Trustee, for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage
Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents and
agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by Section
2.01, together with an Officers' Certificate providing that each such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the
Substitution Adjustment Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with
such substitution. In accordance with the Custodial Agreement, the Trustee shall
cause the Custodian to acknowledge receipt for such Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within ten Business Days thereafter, review such
documents as specified in Section 2.02 and cause the Custodian to deliver to the
Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer, with respect to such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit C-1, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.
Within one year of the date of substitution, in accordance with the Custodial
Agreement, the Trustee shall cause the Custodian to deliver to the Depositor,
the Trustee and the Servicer a certification substantially in the form of
Exhibit C-2 hereto with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with
respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are
not part of REMIC I and will be retained by the Responsible Party or the Seller,
as applicable. For the month of substitution, distributions to
Certificateholders will reflect the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage
Loan on or before the Due Date in the month of substitution, and the Responsible
Party or the Seller, as applicable, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all
amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The
Depositor shall give or cause to be given written notice to the
Certificateholders that such substitution has taken place, shall amend the
Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from
the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan
Schedule to the Trustee and the Custodian. Upon such substitution, such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the
Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this
Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including, all applicable
representations and warranties thereof included in the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement.

                  For any month in which the Responsible Party or the Seller, as
applicable, substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one
or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Servicer will determine the amount (the
"Substitution Adjustment Amount"), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price
of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate of, as to each such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Stated Principal Balance thereof as of
the date of substitution, together with one month's interest on such Principal
Balance at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate, plus all outstanding Advances and
Servicing Advances (including Nonrecoverable Advances and Nonrecoverable
Servicing Advances) related thereto. On the date of such substitution, the
Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable, will deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal
to the Substitution Adjustment Amount, if any, and upon receipt by the
Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, of the related Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans and certification by the Servicer to the Trustee of such
deposit, the Trustee shall cause the Custodian to release as required by the
Custodial Agreement to the Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable, the
related Mortgage File or Files and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, the
Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable, shall deliver to it and as shall
be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.

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

                  (c) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Responsible Party,
the Seller, 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 within two Business Days give
written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the
Responsible Party, the Seller or the Depositor shall repurchase or, subject to
the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(b), substitute one or more Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the
earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected
Mortgage Loan. Such repurchase or substitution shall be made by (i) the
Responsible Party or the Seller, as the case may be, if the affected Mortgage
Loan's status as a non-qualified mortgage is or results from a breach of any
representation, warranty or covenant made by the Responsible Party or the
Seller, as the case may be, under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, or (ii)
the Depositor, if the affected Mortgage Loan's status as a non-qualified
mortgage is a breach of no representation or warranty. Any such repurchase or
substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.03(a).
The Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall reconvey to the
Depositor, the Responsible Party or the Seller, as the case may be, the Mortgage
Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms
and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a
representation or warranty.

                  SECTION 2.04. Reserved.

                  SECTION 2.05. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the
                                Servicer.

                  The Servicer hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the
Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and to the Depositor that as
of the Closing Date or as of such date specifically provided herein:

         good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation and
         has all licenses necessary to carry on its business as now being
         conducted and is licensed, qualified and in good standing in the states
         where the Mortgaged Property is located if the laws of such state
         require licensing or qualification in order to conduct business of the
         type conducted by the Servicer or to ensure the enforceability or
         validity of each Mortgage Loan; the Servicer has the power and
         authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform in
         accordance herewith; the execution, delivery and performance of this
         Agreement (including all instruments of transfer to be delivered
         pursuant to this Agreement) by the Servicer and the consummation of the
         transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized;
         this Agreement evidences the valid, binding and enforceable obligation
         of the Servicer, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
         reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the
         enforcement of creditors' rights generally; and all requisite corporate
         action has been taken by the Servicer to make this Agreement valid and
         binding upon the Servicer in accordance with its terms;

                  (ii) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
         Agreement are in the ordinary course of business of the Servicer and
         will not result in the breach of any term or provision of the charter
         or by-laws of the Servicer or result in the breach of any term or
         provision of, or conflict with or constitute a default under or result
         in the acceleration of any obligation under, any agreement, indenture
         or loan or credit agreement or other instrument to which the Servicer
         or its property is subject, or result in the violation of any law,
         rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which the Servicer or
         its property is subject;

                  (iii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
         Servicer and the performance and compliance with its obligations and
         covenants hereunder do not require the consent or approval of any
         governmental authority or, if such consent or approval is required, it
         has been obtained;

                  (iv) This Agreement, and all documents and instruments
         contemplated hereby which are executed and delivered by the Servicer,
         constitute and will constitute valid, legal and binding obligations of
         the Servicer, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms,
         except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by applicable
         bankruptcy laws and general principles of equity;

                  (v) [Reserved];

                  (vi) The Servicer does not believe, nor does it have any
         reason or cause to believe, that it cannot perform each and every
         covenant contained in this Agreement;

                  (vii) There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation
         pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against the Servicer that,
         either individually or in the aggregate, (A) may result in any change
         in the business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets
         of the Servicer that might prohibit or materially and adversely affect
         the performance by such Servicer of its obligations under, or validity
         or enforceability of, this Agreement, or (B) may result in any material
         impairment of the right or ability of the Servicer to carry on its
         business substantially as now conducted, or (C) may result in any
         material liability on the part of the Servicer, or (D) would draw into
         question the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or of any
         action taken or to be taken in connection with the obligations of the
         Servicer contemplated herein, or (E) would otherwise be likely to
         impair materially the ability of the Servicer to perform under the
         terms of this Agreement;

                  (viii) Neither this Agreement nor any information, certificate
         of an officer, statement furnished in writing or report delivered to
         the Trustee by the Servicer in connection with the transactions
         contemplated hereby contains any untrue statement of a material fact;

                  (ix) The Servicer will not waive any Prepayment Charge unless
         it is waived in accordance with the standard set forth in Section 3.01;
         and

                  (x) The Servicer has accurately and fully reported, and will
         continue to accurately and fully report, its borrower credit files to
         each of the credit repositories in a timely manner.

                  It is understood and agreed that the representations,
warranties and covenants set forth in this Section 2.05 shall survive delivery
of the Mortgage Files to the Trustee and shall inure to the benefit of the
Trustee, the Depositor and the Certificateholders. Upon discovery by any of the
Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing
representations, warranties and covenants which materially and adversely affects
the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interests therein of the
Certificateholders, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written
notice (but in no event later than two Business Days following such discovery)
to the Trustee. Subject to Section 7.01, unless such breach shall not be
susceptible of cure within 90 days, the obligation of the Servicer set forth in
this Section 2.05 to cure breaches shall constitute the sole remedy against the
Servicer available to the Certificateholders, the Depositor and the Trustee on
behalf of the Certificateholders respecting a breach of the representations,
warranties and covenants contained in this Section 2.05. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Servicer or receipt
of notice by the Servicer of a breach of the representation or covenant of the
Servicer set forth in Section 2.05(ix) above which materially and adversely
affects the interests of the Holders of the Class P Certificates in any
Prepayment Charge, the Servicer shall pay the amount of such waived Prepayment
Charge, for the benefit of the Holders of the Class P Certificates, by
depositing such amount into the Collection Account.

                  SECTION 2.06. Issuance of the REMIC I Regular Interests and
                                the Class R-I Interest.

                  The Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the Mortgage
Loans and the delivery to it of the Mortgage Files, subject to the provisions of
Section 2.01 and Section 2.02, together with the assignment to it of all other
assets included in REMIC I, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged.
Concurrently with such assignment and delivery and in exchange therefor, the
Trustee, pursuant to the written request of the Depositor executed by an officer
of the Depositor, has executed, authenticated and delivered to or upon the order
of the Depositor, the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class R-I
Interest) in authorized denominations. The interests evidenced by the Class R-I
Interest, together with the REMIC I Regular Interests, constitute the entire
beneficial ownership interest in REMIC I. The rights of the Class R-I Interest
and REMIC II (as holder of the REMIC I Regular Interest) to receive
distributions from the proceeds of REMIC I in respect of the Class R-I Interest
and the REMIC I Regular Interests, and all ownership interests evidenced or
constituted by the Class R-I Interest and the REMIC I Regular Interests, shall
be as set forth in this Agreement.

                  SECTION 2.07. Conveyance of the REMIC I Regular Interests;
                                Acceptance of REMIC II by the Trustee.

                  The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery
hereof, does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the
Trustee, without recourse all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in
and to the REMIC I Regular Interests for the benefit of the Class R-II Interest
and REMIC II (as holder of the REMIC I Regular Interests). The Trustee
acknowledges receipt of the REMIC I Regular Interests and declares that it holds
and will hold the same in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present
and future Class R-II Interest and REMIC II (as holder of the REMIC I Regular
Interests). The rights of the Class R-II Interest and REMIC II (as holder of the
REMIC I Regular Interests) to receive distributions from the proceeds of REMIC
II in respect of the Class R-II Interest and REMIC II Regular Interests,
respectively, and all ownership interests evidenced or constituted by the Class
R-II Interest and the REMIC II Regular Interests, shall be as set forth in this
Agreement.

                  SECTION 2.08. Issuance of Class R Certificates.

                  (a) The Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the REMIC
Regular Interests and, concurrently therewith and in exchange therefor, pursuant
to the written request of the Depositor executed by an officer of the Depositor,
the Trustee has executed, authenticated and delivered to or upon the order of
the Depositor, the Class R Certificates in authorized denominations.

                                  ARTICLE III

                          ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
                              OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS

                  SECTION 3.01. Servicer to Act as Servicer.

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

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

                  (B) the ownership or non-ownership of any Certificate by the
         Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer;

                  (C) the Servicer's obligation to make Advances or Servicing
         Advances; or

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

                  To the extent consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer (a)
shall seek the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the
Mortgage Notes and (b) shall waive (or permit a Sub-Servicer to waive) a
Prepayment Charge only under the following circumstances: (i) such waiver is
standard and customary in servicing similar Mortgage Loans, relates to a default
or a reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the
Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of
such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) such Prepayment
Charge is unenforceable in accordance with applicable law or the collection of
such related Prepayment Charge would otherwise violate applicable law. If a
Prepayment Charge is waived as permitted by meeting the standards described in
clause (ii) above, then the Servicer (in its capacity as Originator) shall be
required to pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge, for the benefit of
the Holders of the P Certificates, by depositing such amount into the Collection
Account together with and at the time the amounts prepaid on the related
Mortgage Loan is required to be deposited into the Collection Account. Subject
only to the above-described servicing standards and the terms of this Agreement
and of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall have full power and authority,
acting alone or through Sub-Servicers as provided in Section 3.02, to do or
cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and
administration which it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Servicer in its own name or in the name of a
Sub-Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee when the Servicer
believes it appropriate in its best judgment in accordance with the servicing
standards set forth above, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee, and upon notice to the Trustee, any and all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or
discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage
Loans and the Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure proceedings or
obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the ownership of such
properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such properties, on behalf
of the Trustee and Certificateholders. The Servicer shall service and administer
the Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable state and federal law and shall
provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be provided to them thereby.
The Servicer shall also comply in the performance of this Agreement with all
reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any standard hazard
insurance policy. Subject to Section 3.17, within 15 days of the Closing Date,
the Trustee shall execute, at the written request of the Servicer, and furnish
to the Servicer and any Sub-Servicer any special or limited powers of attorney
for each county in which a Mortgaged Property is located and other documents
necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer to carry out
their servicing and administrative duties hereunder; PROVIDED, such limited
powers of attorney or other documents shall be prepared by the Servicer and
submitted to the Trustee for execution. The Trustee shall not be liable for the
actions of the Servicer or any Sub-Servicers under such powers of attorney.

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

                  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
the Servicer may not make any future advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan
(except as provided in Section 4.03) and the Servicer shall not (i) permit any
modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage
Rate, reduce or increase the Stated Principal Balance (except for reductions
resulting from actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date
on such Mortgage Loan (unless, as provided in Section 3.07, the Mortgagor is in
default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, 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
Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (B) cause any Trust REMIC
created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition
of any tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions after the startup
date" under the REMIC Provisions.

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

                  (a) The Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with
Sub-Servicers for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a
downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of Certificates. The
Trustee is hereby authorized to acknowledge, at the request of the Servicer, any
Sub-Servicing Agreement that based on an Officers' Certificate of the Servicer
delivered to the Trustee (upon which the Trustee can conclusively rely), meets
the requirements applicable to Sub-Servicing Agreements set forth in this
Agreement and that is otherwise permitted under this Agreement.

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

                  (b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the
Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall
enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing
Agreement, including, without limitation, any obligation to make advances in
respect of delinquent payments as required by a Sub-Servicing Agreement, or to
purchase a Mortgage Loan on account of missing or defective documentation or on
account of a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant, as described in
Section 2.03(a). Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal
prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements, and the pursuit
of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an
extent and at such time as the 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. Enforcement of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
against the Originator or the Seller shall be effected by the Servicer to the
extent it is not the Originator, and otherwise by the Trustee in accordance with
the foregoing provisions of this paragraph.

                  SECTION 3.03. Successor Sub-Servicers.

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

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

                  SECTION 3.04. Liability of the Servicer.

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

                  SECTION 3.05. No Contractual Relationship Between Sub-
                                Servicers, the Trustee or Certificateholders.

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

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

                  In the event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be
the servicer (including by reason of the occurrence of a Servicer Event of
Termination), the Trustee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer under each Sub-Servicing Agreement that the Servicer
may have entered into, unless the Trustee elects to terminate any Sub-Servicing
Agreement in accordance with its terms as provided in Section 3.03. Upon such
assumption, the Trustee (or the successor servicer appointed pursuant to Section
7.02) shall be deemed, subject to Section 3.03, to have assumed all of the
departing Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced the departing
Servicer as a party to each Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if
each Sub-Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party, except
that (i) the departing Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability
or obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement that arose before it ceased to
be the Servicer and (ii) neither the Trustee nor any successor 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
Trustee, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to
each Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an
accounting of amounts collected and held by or on behalf of it, and otherwise
use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the
Sub-Servicing Agreements to the assuming party.

                  SECTION 3.07. Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.

                  The 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, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment
charge or, if applicable, any penalty interest, or (ii) extend the due dates for
the Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not greater than 180
days; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, 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 Advances on
such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant to Section 4.03 and in
accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without
modification thereof by reason of such arrangement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment
of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, 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 Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest,
capitalize past due Monthly Payments and outstanding Servicing Advances or
extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan), accept payment from the
related Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated Principal Balance in final
satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan, 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 in no event shall the Servicer grant any
such forbearance (other than as permitted by the second sentence of this
Section) with respect to any one Mortgage Loan more than once in any 12 month
period or more than three times over the life of such Mortgage Loan. 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 Mortgage File.

                  SECTION 3.08. Sub-Servicing Accounts.

                  In those cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage
Loan pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer will be required to
establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the "Sub-Servicing
Account"). The Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall
comply with all requirements of this Agreement relating to the Collection
Account. The Sub-Servicer shall deposit in the clearing 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 Sub-Servicer's receipt thereof, all
proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by the Sub-Servicer less its servicing
compensation to the extent permitted by the Sub-Servicing Agreement, and shall
thereafter deposit such amounts in the Sub-Servicing Account, in no event more
than two Business Days after the receipt of such amounts. The Sub-Servicer shall
thereafter deposit such proceeds in the Collection Account or remit such
proceeds to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account not later than
two Business Days after the deposit of such amounts in the Sub-Servicing
Account. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have
received payments on the Mortgage Loans when the Sub-Servicer receives such
payments.

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

                  The Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be
established and maintained, one or more accounts (the "Servicing Accounts"),
into which all Escrow Payments shall be deposited and retained. Servicing
Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. The Servicer shall deposit in the clearing
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 Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans and
shall thereafter deposit such Escrow Payments in the Servicing Accounts, in no
event more than two Business Days after the receipt of such Escrow Payments, all
Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans for the purpose of
effecting the timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of
this Agreement. Withdrawals of amounts from a Servicing Account may be made only
to (i) effect payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, and
comparable items in a manner and at a time that assures that the lien priority
of the Mortgage is not jeopardized (or, with respect to the payment of taxes, 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); (ii) reimburse the
Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer to the extent provided in the related Sub-Servicing
Agreement) out of related collections for any Servicing Advances made pursuant
to Section 3.01 (with respect to taxes and assessments) and Section 3.14 (with
respect to hazard insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be
determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and as described
below, to Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing Account; or (v) clear and
terminate the Servicing Account at the termination of the Servicer's obligations
and responsibilities in respect of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement in
accordance with Article IX. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in a
Servicing Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any
time withdraw such amount from such Servicing Account, any provision herein to
the contrary notwithstanding. The Servicer will be responsible for the
administration of the Servicing Accounts and will be obligated to make Servicing
Advances to such accounts when and as necessary to avoid the lapse of insurance
coverage on the Mortgaged Property, or which the Servicer knows, or in the
exercise of the required standard of care of the Servicer hereunder should know,
is necessary to avoid the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or
the foreclosure as a result of a tax lien. If any such payment has not been made
and the Servicer receives notice of a tax lien that jeopardizes the lien of the
Mortgage Loan, the Servicer will, within 10 business days of such notice,
advance or cause to be advanced funds necessary to discharge such lien on the
Mortgaged Property. As part of its servicing duties, the Servicer or
Sub-Servicers shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in the Servicing
Accounts, to the extent required by law and, to the extent that interest earned
on funds in the Servicing Accounts is insufficient, to pay such interest from
its or their own funds, without any reimbursement therefor. The Servicer may pay
to itself any excess interest on funds in the Servicing Accounts, to the extent
such action is in conformity with the Servicing Standard, is permitted by law
and such amounts are not required to be paid to Mortgagors or used for any of
the other purposes set forth above.

                  SECTION 3.10. Collection Account and Distribution Account.

                  (a) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall establish
and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more accounts
(such account or accounts, the "Collection Account"), held in trust for the
benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund,
the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the clearing 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 Servicer's receipt thereof, 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 Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date) or payments
(other than Principal Prepayments) received by it on or prior to the Cut-off
Date, but allocable to a Due Period subsequent thereto:

                  (i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal
         Prepayments (but not Prepayment Charges), on the Mortgage Loans;

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

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

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

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

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

                  (vii) all amounts required to be deposited in connection with
         Substitution Adjustments pursuant to Section 2.03; and

                  (viii) all Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer and
         any Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts in connection with the
         Principal Prepayment of any of the Mortgage Loans; and

                  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 Servicing
Fees, late payment charges, assumption fees, insufficient funds charges and
ancillary income (other than Prepayment Charges) need not be deposited by the
Servicer in the Collection Account and may be retained by the Servicer as
additional compensation. 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) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Trustee shall establish
and maintain one or more accounts (such account or accounts, the "Distribution
Account"), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deliver to
the Trustee in immediately available funds for deposit in the Distribution
Account on or before 1:00 p.m. New York time (i) on the Servicer Remittance
Date, that portion of the Available Distribution Amount (calculated without
regard to the references in the definition thereof to amounts that may be
withdrawn from the Distribution Account) for the related Distribution Date then
on deposit in the Collection Account, the amount of all Prepayment Charges
collected during the applicable Prepayment Period by the Servicer and Servicer
Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts in connection with the Principal Prepayment of
any of the Mortgage Loans then on deposit in the Collection Account and the
amount of any funds reimbursable to an Advancing Person pursuant to Section
3.29, and (ii) on each Business Day as of the commencement of which the balance
on deposit in the Collection Account exceeds $75,000 following any withdrawals
pursuant to the next succeeding sentence, the amount of such excess, but only if
the Collection Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause
(ii) of the definition of "Eligible Account." If the balance on deposit in the
Collection Account exceeds $75,000 as of the commencement of business on any
Business Day and the Collection Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely
pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of "Eligible Account," the Servicer
shall, on or before 1:00 p.m. New York time on such Business Day, withdraw from
the Collection Account any and all amounts payable or reimbursable to the
Servicer, the Trustee, the Originator or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section
3.11 and shall pay such amounts to the Persons entitled thereto.

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

                  (d) Funds held in the Collection Account at any time may be
delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee for deposit in an account (which may be
the Distribution Account and must satisfy the standards for the Distribution
Account as set forth in the definition thereof) and for all purposes of this
Agreement shall be deemed to be a part of the Collection Account; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Trustee shall have the sole authority to withdraw any funds
held pursuant to this subsection (d). In the event the Servicer shall deliver to
the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account any amount not required to
be deposited therein, it may at any time request that the Trustee withdraw such
amount from the Distribution Account and remit to it any such amount, any
provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In addition, the Servicer,
with respect to items (i) through (iv) below, shall deliver to the Trustee from
time to time for deposit, and the Trustee, with respect to items (i) through
(iv) below, shall so deposit, in the Distribution Account:

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

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

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

                  (iv) any Compensating Interest to be deposited pursuant to
         Section 3.24 in connection with any Prepayment Interest Shortfall; and

                  (v) any amounts required to be paid to the Trustee pursuant to
         this Agreement, including, but not limited to Section 3.06 and Section
         7.02.

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

                  SECTION 3.11. Withdrawals from the Collection Account and
                                Distribution 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 4.03:

                  (i) to remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution
         Account the amounts required to be so remitted pursuant to Section
         3.10(b) or permitted to be so remitted pursuant to the first sentence
         of Section 3.10(d);

                  (ii) subject to Section 3.16(d), to reimburse the Servicer for
         (a) any unreimbursed Advances to the extent of amounts received which
         represent Late Collections (net of the related Servicing Fees) of
         Monthly Payments, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds on
         Mortgage Loans with respect to which such Advances were made in
         accordance with the provisions of Section 4.03; or (b) any unreimbursed
         Advances with respect to the final liquidation of a Mortgage Loan that
         are Nonrecoverable Advances, but only to the extent that Late
         Collections, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds received with
         respect to such Mortgage Loan are insufficient to reimburse the
         Servicer for such unreimbursed Advances;

                  (iii) subject to Section 3.16(d), to pay the Servicer or any
         Sub-Servicer (a) any unpaid Servicing Fees, (b) any unreimbursed
         Servicing Advances with respect to each Mortgage Loan, but only to the
         extent of any Late Collections, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance
         Proceeds and condemnation proceeds received with respect to such
         Mortgage Loan, and (c) any Servicing Advances with respect to the final
         liquidation of a Mortgage Loan that are Nonrecoverable Advances, but
         only to the extent that Late Collections, Liquidation Proceeds and
         Insurance Proceeds received with respect to such Mortgage Loan are
         insufficient to reimburse the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for
         Servicing Advances;

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

                  (v) to pay to the Servicer, the Depositor, the Responsible
         Party or the Seller, as the case may be, with respect to each Mortgage
         Loan that has previously been purchased or replaced pursuant to Section
         2.03 or Section 3.16(c) all amounts received thereon subsequent to the
         date of purchase or substitution, as the case may be;

                  (vi) to reimburse the Servicer for any Advance or Servicing
         Advance previously made which the Servicer has determined to be a
         Nonrecoverable Advance in accordance with the provisions of Section
         4.03;

                  (vii) to pay, or to reimburse the Servicer for Servicing
         Advances in respect of, expenses incurred in connection with any
         Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.16(b);

                  (viii) to reimburse the Servicer for expenses incurred by or
         reimbursable to the Servicer pursuant to Section 6.03;

                  (ix) to reimburse the Servicer (if the Servicer is not an
         Affiliate of the Originator) or the Trustee, as the case may be, for
         enforcement expenses reasonably incurred in respect of the breach or
         defect giving rise to the purchase obligation under Section 2.03 of
         this Agreement that were included in the Purchase Price of the Mortgage
         Loan, including any expenses arising out of the enforcement of the
         purchase obligation;

                  (x) to pay itself any Prepayment Interest Excess; and

                  (xi) to clear and terminate the Collection Account pursuant to
         Section 9.01.

                  The foregoing requirements for withdrawal from the Collection
Account shall be exclusive. 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.

                  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 (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii) and (viii) above.
The Servicer shall provide written notification to the Trustee, on or prior to
the next succeeding Servicer Remittance Date, upon making any withdrawals from
the Collection Account pursuant to subclause (vi) above; PROVIDED that an
Officers' Certificate in the form described under Section 4.03(d) shall suffice
for such written notification to the Trustee in respect hereof.

                  (b) The Trustee shall, from time to time, make withdrawals
from the Distribution Account, for any of the following purposes, without
priority:

                  (i) to make distributions in accordance with Section 4.01;

                  (ii) to pay itself the Trustee Fee and any Extraordinary Trust
         Fund Expenses pursuant to Section 8.05;

                  (iii) to pay any amounts in respect of taxes pursuant to
         Section 10.01(g);

                  (iv) to clear and terminate the Distribution Account pursuant
         to Section 9.01;

                  (v) to pay any amounts required to be paid to the Custodian
         pursuant to the Custodial Agreement or the Trustee pursuant to this
         Agreement, including but not limited to funds required to be paid
         pursuant to Section 3.06 and Section 7.02;

                  (vi) to pay to the Trustee, any interest or investment income
         earned on funds deposited in the Distribution Account; and

                  (vii) to pay to an Advancing Person reimbursements for
         Advances and/or Servicing Advances pursuant to Section 3.29.

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

                  (a) The Servicer may direct any depository institution
maintaining the Collection Account and any REO Account to invest the funds on
deposit in such accounts (each such account, for the purposes of this Section
3.12 an "Investment Account"). All investments pursuant to this Section 3.12
shall be in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a
discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business
Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be
withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than
the Trustee is the obligor thereon, and (ii) no later than the date on which
such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this
Agreement, if the Trustee is the obligor thereon. Amounts in the Distribution
Account shall be held uninvested. 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 Trustee (in its capacity as such), or
in the name of a nominee of the Trustee. The Trustee shall be entitled to sole
possession (except with respect to investment direction of funds held in the
Collection Account or any REO 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 Trustee or its agent,
together with any document of transfer necessary to transfer title to such
investment to the Trustee or its nominee. In the event amounts on deposit in an
Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on
demand, the party with investment discretion over such Investment Account shall:

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

                  (y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon
         determination by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee 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 any REO 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 accordance with Section 3.11 or Section 3.23, as applicable.
The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account or any REO Account, as
applicable, the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such
Permitted Investment made with funds in such account immediately upon
realization of such loss.

                  (c) 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 (of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee obtains
actual knowledge), the Trustee may and, subject to Section 8.01 and Section
8.02(a)(v), upon the request of the Holders of Certificates representing more
than 50% of the Voting Rights allocated to any Class of Certificates, shall take
such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance,
including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.

                  (d) The Trustee or its Affiliates are permitted to receive
additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the Trustee's 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. Such compensation shall not be considered an amount that is
reimbursable or payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.11 or 3.12 or
otherwise payable in respect of Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses.

                  SECTION 3.13. [Reserved].

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

                  (a) The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each
Mortgage Loan hazard insurance with extended coverage on the Mortgaged Property
in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the current principal
balance of such Mortgage Loan and (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, 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
hazard 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 Stated
Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan at the time it became an REO
Property. 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 the 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 received in respect of a
Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section
3.23, if received in respect of an REO Property. Any cost incurred by the
Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of
calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid Stated
Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms
of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake
or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor other than
pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in
force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property
or REO Property is at any time in an area identified in the Federal Register by
the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards 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 unpaid principal balance of
the related Mortgage Loan and (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance
available for the related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance
program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is
participating in such program).

                  In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a
blanket policy with an insurer having a General Policy Rating of B:III or better
in Best's Key Rating Guide (or such other rating that is comparable to such
rating) insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall
conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the
first two sentences of this Section 3.14, it being understood and agreed that
such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall,
in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged
Property or REO Property a policy complying with the first two sentences of this
Section 3.14, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been
covered by such policy, deposit to the Collection Account from its own funds the
amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible
clause. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the
Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself,
the Trustee and Certificateholders, 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,
which policy or policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the
requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac if it were the purchaser of the
Mortgage Loans, unless the Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements
from Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The Servicer shall provide the Trustee, upon
request, with copies of such insurance policies and fidelity bond. The Servicer
shall also maintain a fidelity bond in the form and amount that would meet the
requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, unless the Servicer has obtained a
waiver of such requirements from Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. 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 Sub-Servicer to maintain a policy of
insurance covering errors and omissions and a fidelity bond which would meet
such requirements.

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

                  The Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any
conveyance or prospective conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any Mortgagor
(whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the
Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the
Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan
under the "due-on-sale" clause, if any, applicable thereto; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that the 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 has a credit risk
rating at least equal to that of the original Mortgagor. In connection with any
assumption 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. Any fee collected by
the Servicer in respect of an assumption, modification or substitution of
liability agreement shall 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 Rate and the
amount of the Monthly Payment) may be amended or modified, except as otherwise
required pursuant to the terms thereof. 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, modification 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 whatever. For purposes of this Section 3.15, the term "assumption" is
deemed to also include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property) subject to the
Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability
agreement.

                  SECTION 3.16. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

                  (a) The Servicer shall use its best efforts, in as practical a
time frame as possible and consistent with Servicing Standard, to foreclose upon
or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the
Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no
satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments
pursuant to Section 3.07. The Servicer shall be responsible for all costs and
expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such
costs and expenses will be recoverable as Servicing Advances by the Servicer as
contemplated in Section 3.11 and Section 3.23. The foregoing is subject to the
provision 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 discretion that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation
of the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself for such expenses.

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

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

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

                  The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by
this Section 3.16 shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer's
right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in
Section 3.11(a)(vii), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of
Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received in
respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.

                  If the Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in
the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are
necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable
environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment,
clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous
wastes or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then
the Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic
interest of the Trust Fund; PROVIDED that any amounts disbursed by the Servicer
pursuant to this Section 3.16(b) shall constitute Servicing Advances, subject to
Section 4.03(d). The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or
remediation shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer's right
to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section
3.11(a)(iii) and (a)(vii), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights
of Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received
in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.

                  (c) The Servicer may, at its option, purchase a Mortgage Loan
which has become 90 or more days delinquent or for which the Servicer has
accepted a deed in lieu of foreclosure. Prior to purchase pursuant to this
Section 3.16(c), the Servicer shall be required to continue to make Advances
pursuant to Section 4.03. The Servicer shall purchase such delinquent Mortgage
Loan at a price equal to the Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loan. Any such
purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.16(c) shall be
accomplished by deposit in the Collection Account of the amount of the Purchase
Price. The Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee shall immediately effectuate the
conveyance of such delinquent Mortgage Loan to the Servicer to the extent
necessary, including the prompt delivery of all documentation to the Servicer.
Notwithstanding the foregoing if the Servicer purchases any delinquent Mortgage
Loans pursuant to this Section 3.16(c), it must purchase Mortgage Loans that are
delinquent the greatest number of days before it may purchase any that are
delinquent any fewer number of days.

                  (d) Proceeds received in connection with any Final Recovery
Determination, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of
Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or condemnation proceeds, in respect of
any Mortgage Loan, will be applied in the following order of priority: FIRST, to
unpaid Servicing Fees; SECOND, to reimburse the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for
any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iii) and
Advances pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(ii); THIRD, to accrued and unpaid interest
on the Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final Recovery Determination, or to the
Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such amounts are to be
distributed if not in connection with a Final Recovery Determination; and
FOURTH, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. The portion of the
recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iii).

                  SECTION 3.17. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.

                  (a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the
receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed
in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), in written (with two
executed copies) or electronic format, a Request for Release in the form of
Exhibit E (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all
amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are
required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.10 have
been or will be so deposited) signed by a Servicing Officer (or in a mutually
agreeable electronic format that will, in lieu of a signature on its face,
originate from a Servicing Officer) and shall request delivery to it of the
Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Trustee (or
the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall, within three Business Days,
release and send by overnight mail, at the expense of the Servicer, the related
Mortgage File to the Servicer. No expenses incurred in connection with any
instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the
Collection Account or the Distribution Account.

                  (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 the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall, upon any request made by or on behalf
of the Servicer and delivery to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee) , in written (with two executed copies) or electronic format, of a
Request for Release in the form of Exhibit E signed by a Servicing Officer (or
in a mutually agreeable electronic format that will, in lieu of a signature on
its face, originate from a Servicing Officer), release the related Mortgage File
to the Servicer within three Business Days, and the Trustee (or the Custodian on
behalf of the Trustee) shall, at the direction of the Servicer, execute such
documents as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. Such
Request for Release shall obligate the Servicer to return each and every
document previously requested from the Mortgage File to the Trustee (or the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) 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, or caused to be delivered, to the Trustee (or the Custodian on
behalf of the Trustee) an additional Request for Release certifying as to such
liquidation or action or proceedings. Upon the request of the Trustee (or the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), the Servicer shall provide notice to the
Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) of the name and address of
the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the
purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a Request for Release, in
written (with two executed copies) or electronic format, from 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, such Mortgage Loan shall be released
by the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) to the Servicer or
its designee.

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

                  SECTION 3.18. Servicing Compensation.

                  As compensation for the activities of the Servicer hereunder,
the Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee with respect to each
Mortgage Loan payable solely from payments of interest in respect of such
Mortgage Loan, subject to Section 3.24. In addition, the Servicer shall be
entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees out of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation
Proceeds or condemnation proceeds to the extent permitted by Section
3.11(a)(iii) and out of amounts derived from the operation and sale of an REO
Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.23. Except as provided in Section
3.29, 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 Sub-Servicer
pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into under Section 3.02.

                  Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption
fees, late payment charges, insufficient funds charges, ancillary income or
otherwise (other than Prepayment Charges) 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 Section 3.11(a)(iv) to withdraw from the
Collection Account and pursuant to Section 3.23(b) to withdraw from any REO
Account, as additional servicing compensation, interest or other income earned
on deposits therein, subject to Section 3.12 and Section 3.24. The Servicer
shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its
servicing activities hereunder (including premiums for the insurance required by
Section 3.14, to the extent such premiums are not paid by the related Mortgagors
or by a Sub-Servicer and servicing compensation of each Sub-Servicer, and to the
extent provided herein in Section 8.05, the expenses of the Trustee) and shall
not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided
herein.

                  The Servicer shall be entitled to any Prepayment Interest
Excess, which it may withdraw from the Collection Account pursuant to Section
3.11(a)(ix).

                  SECTION 3.19. Reports to the Trustee; Collection Account
                                Statements.

                  Not later than twenty days after each Distribution Date, the
Servicer shall forward to the Trustee (upon the Trustee's request) and the
Depositor the most current available bank statement for the Collection Account.
Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any
Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective
transferee of a Certificate, upon request at the expense of the requesting
party, provided such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee.

                  SECTION 3.20. Statement as to Compliance.

                  The Servicer will deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor not
later than March 10th of each calendar year, commencing in 2006, an Officers'
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 has been made under such officers' 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 calendar
year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation,
specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status
thereof. Copies of any such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any
Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective
transferee of a Certificate, upon request at the expense of the requesting
party, provided such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee.

                  SECTION 3.21. Independent Public Accountants' Servicing
                                Report.

                  Not later than March 10th 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 Servicer 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 Sub-Servicers,
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
Sub-Servicers. Immediately upon receipt of such report, the Servicer shall
furnish a copy of such report to the Trustee and each Rating Agency. Copies of
such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder upon
request at the Servicer's expense, provided that such statement is delivered by
the Servicer to the Trustee.

                  SECTION 3.22. Access to Certain Documentation.

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

                  SECTION 3.23. Title, Management and Disposition of REO
                                Property.

                  (a) The deed or certificate of sale of any REO Property shall
be taken in the name of Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee for
Carrington Mortgage Loan Trust, Series 2005-OPT2, Asset Backed Pass-Through
Certificates or its nominee or the name of any successor Trustee, its nominee or
any successor, in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders of Carrington
Mortgage Loan Trust, Series 2005-OPT2, Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates.
The Servicer, on behalf of REMIC I, shall sell any REO Property as soon as
practical and in any event no later than the end of the third full taxable year
after the taxable year in which such REMIC acquires ownership of such REO
Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or request from the
Internal Revenue Service, no later than 60 days before the day on which the
three-year grace period would otherwise expire, an extension of such three-year
period, unless the Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel and addressed to the Trustee and the Depositor, to the effect that the
holding by the REMIC of such REO Property subsequent to three years after its
acquisition will not result in the imposition on the REMIC of taxes on
"prohibited transactions" thereof, as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or
cause any of the REMICs created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC under
Federal law at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. The Servicer
shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the
Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in
a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as
"foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or
result in the receipt by any of the REMICs created hereunder of any "income from
non-permitted assets" within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code,
or any "net income from foreclosure property" which is subject to taxation under
the REMIC Provisions.

                  (b) The Servicer shall separately account for all funds
collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property and
shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, with
respect to REO Properties an account held in trust for the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders (the "REO Account"), which shall be an
Eligible Account. The Servicer shall be permitted to allow the Collection
Account to serve as the REO Account, subject to separate ledgers for each REO
Property. The Servicer shall be entitled to retain or withdraw any interest
income paid on funds deposited in the REO Account.

                  (c) The Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject
only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any
and all things in connection with any REO Property as are consistent with the
manner in which the Servicer manages and operates similar property owned by the
Servicer or any of its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period
(subject to the requirement of prompt disposition set forth in Section 3.23(a))
as the Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Certificateholders. In
connection therewith, the Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited in
the clearing 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 REO Account, in no event
more than two Business Days after the Servicer's receipt thereof, all revenues
received by it with respect to an REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom
funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO
Property including, without limitation:

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

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

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

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

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Servicer nor the
Trustee shall:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                  The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement
with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties
and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Servicer by such
Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit
or modify such indemnification. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees
owed by it to any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of whether the
Servicer's compensation pursuant to Section 3.18 is sufficient to pay such fees;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that to the extent that any payments made by such Independent
Contractor would constitute Servicing Advances if made by the Servicer, such
amounts shall be reimbursable as Servicing Advances made by the Servicer.

                  (d) In addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section
3.23(c), the Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the REO
Account for any REO Property: (i) to pay itself or any Sub-Servicer unpaid
Servicing Fees in respect of the related Mortgage Loan; and (ii) to reimburse
itself or any Sub-Servicer for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances made
in respect of such REO Property or the related Mortgage Loan. Upon liquidation
of any REO Property, the Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account
maintained by it and deposit into the Distribution Account in accordance with
Section 3.10(d)(ii), for distribution on the related Distribution Date in
accordance with Section 4.01, any income from the related REO Property received
by the Servicer, net of any withdrawals made pursuant to Section 3.23(c) or this
Section 3.23(d)

                  (e) Subject to the time constraints set forth in Section
3.23(a), each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Servicer in a manner,
at such price and upon such terms and conditions as shall be normal and usual in
its Servicing Standard.

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

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

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

                  Not later than 1:00 p.m. New York time on each Servicer
Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit to the Distribution Account an amount
("Compensating Interest") equal to the lesser of (A) the aggregate of the
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for the related Distribution Date and (B) its
aggregate Servicing Fee received in the related Due Period, any interest or
investment income earned on funds deposited in the Collection Account and any
Prepayment Interest Excess earned during the related Prepayment Period. The
Servicer shall not have the right to reimbursement for any amounts remitted to
the Trustee in respect of Compensating Interest. Such amounts so remitted shall
be included in the Available Distribution Amount and distributed therewith on
the next Distribution Date. The Servicer shall not be obligated to pay
Compensating Interest with respect to Relief Act Interest Shortfalls.

                  SECTION 3.25. [Reserved].

                  SECTION 3.26. Obligations of the Servicer in Respect of
                                Mortgage Rates and Monthly Payments.

                  In the event that a shortfall in any collection on or
liability with respect to the Mortgage Loans in the aggregate results from or is
attributable to adjustments to Mortgage Rates, Monthly Payments or Stated
Principal Balances that were made by the Servicer in a manner not consistent
with the terms of the related Mortgage Note and this Agreement, the Servicer,
upon discovery or receipt of notice thereof, immediately shall deposit in the
Collection Account from its own funds the amount of any such shortfall and shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor and any
successor servicer in respect of any such liability. Such indemnities shall
survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Section 3.26 shall not limit the ability of the Servicer to seek
recovery of any such amounts from the related Mortgagor under the terms of the
related Mortgage Note, as permitted by law.

                  SECTION 3.27. Solicitations.

                  From and after the Closing Date, the Servicer agrees that it
will not take any action or permit or cause any action to be taken by any of its
agents and Affiliates, or by any independent contractors or independent mortgage
brokerage companies on the Servicer's behalf, to personally, by telephone, mail
or electronic mail, solicit the Mortgagor under any Mortgage Loan for the
purpose of refinancing such Mortgage Loan; PROVIDED, that the Servicer may
solicit any Mortgagor for whom the Servicer has received a request for
verification of mortgage, a request for demand for payoff, a mortgagor initiated
written or verbal communication indicating a desire to prepay the related
Mortgage Loan, another mortgage company has pulled a credit report on the
mortgagor or the mortgagor initiates a title search; provided further, it is
understood and agreed that promotions undertaken by the Servicer or any of its
Affiliates which (i) concern optional insurance products or other additional
products or (ii) are directed to the general public at large, including, without
limitation, mass mailings based on commercially acquired mailing lists,
newspaper, radio and television advertisements shall not constitute solicitation
under this Section, nor is the Servicer prohibited from responding to
unsolicited requests or inquiries made by a Mortgagor or an agent of a
Mortgagor. Furthermore, the Servicer shall be permitted to include in its
monthly statements to borrowers or otherwise, statements regarding the
availability of the Servicer's counseling services with respect to refinancing
mortgage loans.

                  SECTION 3.28. Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.

                  No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish
and maintain with itself a separate, segregated trust account titled, "Net WAC
Rate Carryover Reserve Account, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as
Trustee, in trust for the registered holders of Carrington Mortgage Loan Trust,
Series 2005-OPT2, Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates." The amounts deposited
in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall consist of (i) any amounts
deposited therein pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(4) and (ii) any amounts received
by the Trustee under the Cap Contracts.

                  On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC Rate
Carryover Amount payable to the Class A Certificates and/or the Mezzanine
Certificates, the Trustee has been directed by the Class CE Certificateholders
to, and therefore will, deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account
the amounts described in Section 4.01(a)(4), rather than distributing such
amounts to the Class CE Certificateholders. On each such Distribution Date, the
Trustee shall hold all such amounts for the benefit of the Holders of the Class
A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates, and will distribute such amounts
to the Holders of the Class A Certificates and/or the Mezzanine Certificates in
the amounts and priorities set forth in Section 4.01(a)(4).

                  On each Distribution Date, after the payment of any Net WAC
Rate Carryover Amounts on the Class A Certificates and Mezzanine Certificates,
any amounts remaining in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account
(representing payments received by the Trustee under the Cap Contracts), shall
be payable to the Trustee, subject to the immediately following paragraph.

                  For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class CE
Certificateholders will be deemed to be the owners of the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account and all amounts deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account (other than amounts payable from the Cap Contracts) shall be
treated as amounts distributed by REMIC II to the Holders of the Class CE
Certificates. Upon the termination of the Trust Fund, or the payment in full of
the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates, all amounts remaining
on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will be released by the
Trust Fund and distributed to the Class CE Certificateholders or their
designees. The Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will be part of the Trust
Fund but not part of any REMIC and any payments to the Holders of the Class A
Certificates or the Mezzanine Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts
will not be payments with respect to a "regular interest" in a REMIC within the
meaning of Code Section 860(G)(a)(1).

                  By accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE
Certificateholder hereby agrees to direct the Trustee, and the Trustee hereby is
directed, to deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account the amounts
described above on each Distribution Date as to which there is any Net WAC Rate
Carryover Amount rather than distributing such amounts to the Class CE
Certificateholders. By accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE
Certificateholder further agrees that such direction is given for good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by
such acceptance.

                  Amounts on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account shall remain uninvested.

                  For federal tax return and information reporting, the value of
the right to receive payments from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account
shall be $177,313 and $172,113, with respect to the Class A Certificates and the
Mezzanine Certificates, respectively.

                  SECTION 3.29. Advance Facility.

                  (a) The Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into a facility
with any Person which provides that such Person (an "Advancing Person") may fund
Advances and/or Servicing Advances to the Trust Fund under this Agreement,
although no such facility shall reduce or otherwise affect the Servicer's
obligation to fund such Advances and/or Servicing Advances. If the Servicer
enters into such an Advance Facility pursuant to this Section 3.29, upon
reasonable request of the Advancing Person, the Trustee shall execute a letter
of acknowledgment, confirming its receipt of notice of the existence of such
Advance Facility. In no event shall the Trustee be required to consent to or
monitor such Advance Facility. To the extent that an Advancing Person funds any
Advance or any Servicing Advance and provides the Trustee with notice
acknowledged by the Servicer that such Advancing Person is entitled to
reimbursement, such Advancing Person shall be entitled to receive reimbursement
pursuant to this Agreement for such amount to the extent provided in Section
3.29(b). Such notice from the Advancing Person must specify the amount of the
reimbursement, the Section of this Agreement that permits the applicable Advance
or Servicing Advance to be reimbursed and the section(s) of the Advance Facility
that entitle the Advancing Person to request reimbursement from the Trustee,
rather than the Servicer, and include the Servicer's acknowledgment thereto or
proof of an Event of Default under the Advance Facility. The Trustee shall have
no duty or liability with respect to any calculation of any reimbursement to be
paid to an Advancing Person and shall be entitled to rely without independent
investigation on the Advancing Person's notice provided pursuant to this Section
3.29. An Advancing Person whose obligations hereunder are limited to the funding
of Advances and/or Servicing Advances shall not be required to meet the
qualifications of a Servicer or a Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 6.06 hereof
and will not be deemed to be a Sub-Servicer under this Agreement.

                  (b) If an Advancing Facility is entered into, then the
Servicer shall not be permitted to reimburse itself therefor under Section
3.11(a)(ii), Section 3.11(a)(iii), Section 3.11(a)(iv), Section 3.11(a)(vii),
Section 3.11(a)(viii) and Section 4.04(b) prior to the remittance to the Trust
Fund, but instead the Servicer shall include such amounts in the applicable
remittance to the Trustee made pursuant to Section 3.10(a). The Trustee is
hereby authorized to pay to the Advancing Person, reimbursements for Advances
and Servicing Advances from the Distribution Account to the same extent the
Servicer would have been permitted to reimburse itself for such Advances and/or
Servicing Advances in accordance with Section 3.11(a)(ii), Section 3.11(a)(iii),
Section 3.11(a)(vi), Section 3.11(a)(vii), Section 3.11(a)(viii) or Section
4.04(b), as the case may be, had the Servicer itself funded such Advance or
Servicing Advance. The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay directly to the
Advancing Person such portion of the Servicing Fee as the parties to any advance
facility agree.

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

                  (d) Any amendment to this Section 3.29 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 3.29,
including amendments to add provisions relating to a successor servicer, may be
entered into by the Trustee and the Servicer without the consent of any
Certificateholder, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement.

         thereof remaining unpaid from previous Distribution Dates. Amounts
         payable as Uncertificated Interest in respect of REMIC I Regular
         Interest I-LTZZ shall be reduced when the sum of the REMIC I
         Overcollateralized Amount is less than the REMIC I Required
         Overcollateralized Amount, by the lesser of (x) the amount of such
         difference and (y) the Maximum I-LTZZ Uncertificated Interest Deferral
         Amount and such amounts will be payable to the Holders of REMIC I

         same proportion as the Overcollateralization Increase Amount is
         allocated to the Corresponding Certificates and the Uncertificated
         Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ shall be increased by such
         amount;

                  (ii) second, to the Holders of REMIC I Regular Interests, in
         an amount equal to the remainder of the Available Distribution Amount
         for such Distribution Date after the distributions made pursuant to
         clause (i) above, allocated as follows:

                           (a) 98.00% of such remainder (less the amount payable
                  in clause (d) below) to the Holders of REMIC I Regular
                  Interest I-LTAA, until the Uncertificated Balance of such
                  REMIC I Regular Interest is reduced to zero;

                           (b) 2.00% of such remainder (less the amount payable
                  in clause (d) below) first, to the Holders of REMIC I Regular
                  Interest I-LTA1A, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTA1B, REMIC I
                  Regular Interest I-LTA1C, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTA1D,
                  REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTA2, REMIC I Regular Interest
                  I-LTM1, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM2, REMIC I Regular
                  Interest I-LTM3, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM4, REMIC I
                  Regular Interest I-LTM5, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM6,
                  REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM7, REMIC I Regular Interest
                  I-LTM8 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM9, and in the same
                  proportion as principal payments are allocated to the
                  Corresponding Certificates, until the Uncertificated Balances
                  of such REMIC I Regular Interests are reduced to zero and
                  second, to the Holders of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ,
                  until the Uncertificated Balance of such REMIC I Regular
                  Interest is reduced to zero; then

                           (c) to the Holders of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTP,
                  on the Distribution Date immediately following the expiration
                  of the latest Prepayment Charge as identified on the
                  Prepayment Charge Schedule or any Distribution Date thereafter
                  until $100 has been distributed pursuant to this clause; and

                           (d) any remaining amount to the Holders of the Class
                  R Certificates (as Holder of the Class R-I Interest).

                  (2) On each Distribution Date, the Interest Remittance Amount
will be distributed in the following order of priority:

                  (i) to the Holders of each Class of Class A Certificates, on a
PRO RATA basis based on the entitlement of each such Class, the Senior Interest
Distribution Amount allocable to such Class of Class A Certificates; and

                  (ii) sequentially, to the Holders of the Class M-1, Class M-2,
Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class M-7, Class M-8 and Class M-9
Certificates, in that order, in an amount equal to the Interest Distribution
Amount for each such Class.

                  (3) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw from
the Distribution Account an amount equal to the Principal Distribution Amount
and distribute to the Certificateholders the following amounts, in the following
order of priority:

                  (A) On each Distribution Date (a) prior to the Stepdown Date
or (b) on which a Trigger Event is in effect, the Principal Distribution Amount
shall be distributed in the following order of priority:

                  (i) to the Holders of the Class A Certificates (allocated
         among the Class A Certificates in the priority described below), until
         the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A Certificates
         has been reduced to zero; and

                  (ii) sequentially, to the Holders of the Class M-1, Class M-2,
         Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class M-7, Class M-8 and
         Class M-9 Certificates, in that order, until the Certificate Principal
         Balance of each such Class has been reduced to zero.

                  (B) On each Distribution Date (a) on or after the Stepdown
Date and (b) on which a Trigger Event is not in effect, the Principal
Distribution Amount shall be distributed in the following order of priority:

                  (i) to the Holders of the Class A Certificates (allocated
         among the Class A Certificates in the priority described below), up to
         an amount equal to the Class A Principal Distribution Amount, until the
         aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A Certificates has
         been reduced to zero; and

                  (ii) sequentially, to the Holders of the Class M-1, Class M-2,
         Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class M-7, Class M-8 and
         Class M-9 Certificates, in that order, the related Class Principal
         Distribution Amount, until the Certificate Principal Balances have been
         reduced to zero.

         With respect to the Class A Certificates, all principal distributions
will be distributed first, to the Class A-1A Certificates until the Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class A-1A Certificates has been reduced to zero,
second, concurrently on a PRO RATA basis (based on (i) the aggregated
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-1B Certificates and the Class A-1C
Certificates and (ii) the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-2
Certificates, respectively) distributed (a) sequentially, to the Class A-1B
Certificates and the Class A-1C Certificates, in that order, until their
respective Certificate Principal Balances have been reduced to zero and (b) to
the Class A-2 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance has been

Principal Balance of the Class A-1D Certificates has been reduced to zero;
provided, however, on any distribution date on which the aggregate Certificate
Principal Balance of the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class CE Certificates
has been reduced to zero, all principal distributions will be distributed to the
Class A Certificates on a PRO RATA basis based on the Certificate Principal
Balance of each such class.

                   (4) On each Distribution Date, the Net Monthly Excess
Cashflow shall be distributed by the Trustee as follows:

                  (i) to the Holders of the Class or Classes of Certificates
         then entitled to receive distributions in respect of principal, as part
         of the Principal Distribution Amount in an amount equal to the
         Overcollateralization Increase Amount for the Certificates, applied to
         reduce the Certificate Principal Balance of such Certificates until the
         aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of such Certificates is reduced
         to zero;

                  (ii) sequentially, to the Holders of the Class M-1, Class M-2,
         Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class M-7, Class M-8 and
         Class M-9 Certificates in that order, in each case, in an amount equal
         to the Interest Carry Forward Amount allocable to such Class of
         Certificates;

                  (iii) sequentially to the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3,

         Realized Loss Amount related to each such Class of Certificates for
         such Distribution Date;

                  (iv) to the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, the amount
         by which any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts for such Distribution Date
         exceed the amounts received by the Trustee under the Cap Contracts;

                  (v) to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates, (a) the
         Interest Distribution Amount and any Overcollateralization Reduction
         Amount for such Distribution Date and (b) on any Distribution Date on
         which the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A
         Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates have been reduced to zero,
         any remaining amounts in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance
         of the Class CE Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance
         thereof has been reduced to zero; and

                  (vi) to the Holders of the Class R Certificates, any remaining
         amounts; provided that if such Distribution Date is the Distribution
         Date immediately following the expiration of the latest Prepayment
         Charge term on a Mortgage Loan as identified on the Mortgage Loan
         Schedule or any Distribution Date thereafter, then any such remaining
         amounts will be distributed first, to the Holders of the Class P
         Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been
         reduced to zero; and second, to the Holders of the Class R
         Certificates.

                  On each Distribution Date, after making the distributions of
the Available Distribution Amount as set forth above, the Trustee will withdraw
from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, to the extent of amounts
remaining on deposit therein, the amount of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount
for such Distribution Date and distribute such amount in the following order of
priority:

         (A) concurrently, to the Class A Certificates, on a PRO RATA basis
based on the Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount for each such class, but only to the
extent of amounts paid under the Class A Cap Contract;

         (B) concurrently, to the Mezzanine Certificates, on a PRO RATA basis
based on the Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount for each such class, but only to the
extent of amounts paid under the Mezzanine Cap Contract;

         (C) to the Class A and Mezzanine Certificates, any related unpaid Net
WAC Rate Carryover Amount (after taking into account distributions pursuant to
(A) and (B) above), distributed in the following order of priority:

         (i) to the Class A Certificates, on a PRO RATA basis based on the
remaining Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount for each such class;

         (ii) sequentially, to the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4,
Class M-5, Class M-6, Class M-7, Class M-8 and Class M-9 Certificates, in that
order.

                  (b) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw any
amounts then on deposit in the Distribution Account that represent Prepayment
Charges collected by the Servicer in connection with the Principal Prepayment of
any of the Mortgage Loans or any Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amount and
shall distribute such amounts to the Holders of the Class P Certificates. Such
distributions shall not be applied to reduce the Certificate Principal Balance
of the Class P Certificates.

                  Following the foregoing distributions, an amount equal to the
amount of Subsequent Recoveries shall be applied to increase the Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates with the Highest Priority up to
the extent of such Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of
Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04. An amount equal to the amount of any
remaining Subsequent Recoveries shall be applied to increase the Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates with the next Highest Priority,
up to the amount of such Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of
Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04. Holders of such Certificates will not be
entitled to any distribution in respect of interest on the amount of such
increases for any Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on
which such increase occurs. Any such increases shall be applied to the
Certificate Principal Balance of each Certificate of such Class in accordance
with its respective Percentage Interest.

                  (c) All distributions made with respect to each Class of
Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated PRO RATA among the
outstanding Certificates in such Class based on their respective Percentage
Interests. Payments in respect of each Class of Certificates on each
Distribution Date shall be made to the Holders of the respective Class of record
on the related Record Date (except as otherwise provided in Section 4.01(e) or
Section 9.01 respecting the final distribution on such Class), based on the
aggregate Percentage Interest represented by their respective Certificates, and
shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of
any such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities
therefor, if such Holder shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least
five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such
Distribution Date, or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the
address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register. The final
distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon
presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trustee
maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12 or such other location
specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

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

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

                  (e) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the
Trustee expects that the final distribution with respect to any Class of
Certificates will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, no
later than three (3) days before the related Distribution Date (to the extent
that an accurate Remittance Report is received in a timely manner by the
Trustee), mail to each Holder on such date of such Class of Certificates a
notice to the effect that:

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

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

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

                  (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) in no
event shall the Certificate Principal Balance of a Class A Certificate or a
Mezzanine Certificate be reduced more than once in respect of any particular
amount allocated to such Certificate in respect of Realized Losses pursuant to
Section 4.04 and (ii) in no event shall the Uncertificated Balance of a REMIC
Regular Interest be reduced more than once in respect of any particular amount
both (a) allocated to such REMIC Regular Interest in respect of Realized Losses
pursuant to Section 4.04 and (b) distributed on such REMIC Regular Interest in
reduction of the Uncertificated Balance thereof pursuant to this Section 4.01.

additional files containing the same information in an alternative format)

via the Trustee's internet website. The Trustee's internet website shall

the calendar year was a Holder of a Regular Certificate a statement containing
the information set forth in subclauses (i) and (ii) above, aggregated for such

                  SECTION 4.03. Remittance Reports; Advances.

                  (a) On the third Business Day following each Determination
Date but in no event later than the 20th day of each month (or if such 20th day
is not a Business Day, the preceding Business Day), the Servicer shall deliver
to the Trustee by telecopy or electronic mail (or by such other means as the
Servicer and the Trustee may agree from time to time) a Remittance Report with
respect to the related Distribution Date. On the same date, the Servicer shall
forward to the Trustee by overnight mail a computer readable magnetic tape or
electronically transmit (in a format acceptable to the Trustee) a data file
containing the information set forth in such Remittance Report with respect to
the related Distribution Date. Such Remittance Report will include (i) the
amount of Advances to be made by the Servicer in respect of the related
Distribution Date, the aggregate amount of Advances outstanding after giving
effect to such Advances, and the aggregate amount of Nonrecoverable Advances in
respect of such Distribution Date and (ii) such other information with respect
to the Mortgage Loans as the Trustee may reasonably require to perform the
calculations necessary to make the distributions contemplated by Section 4.01
and to prepare the statements to Certificateholders contemplated by Section
4.02. The Trustee shall not be responsible to recompute, recalculate or verify
any information provided to it by the Servicer.

                  (b) The amount of Advances to be made by the Servicer for any
Distribution Date shall equal, subject to Section 4.03(d), the sum of (i) the
aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (with each interest portion thereof net of
the related Servicing Fee), due on the related Due Date in respect of the
Mortgage Loans, which Monthly Payments were delinquent as of the close of
business on the related Determination Date and (ii) with respect to each REO
Property, which REO Property was acquired during or prior to the related
Prepayment Period and as to which REO Property an REO Disposition did not occur
during the related Prepayment Period, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of
the REO Imputed Interest on such REO Property for the most recently ended
calendar month, over the net income from such REO Property transferred to the
Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.23 for distribution on such
Distribution Date.

                  By 1:00 p.m. New York time on the Servicer Remittance Date,
the Servicer shall remit in immediately available funds to the Trustee for
deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the aggregate amount of
Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties
for the related Distribution Date either (i) from its own funds or (ii) from the
Collection Account, to the extent of funds held therein for future distribution
(in which case it will cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of
Collection Account that amounts held for future distribution have been, as
permitted by this Section 4.03, used by the Servicer in discharge of any such
Advance) or (iii) in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the
total amount of 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 before any future Servicer
Remittance Date to the extent that the Available Distribution Amount for the
related Distribution Date (determined without regard to Advances to be made on
the Servicer Remittance Date) shall be less than the total amount that would be
distributed to the Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.01 on such
Distribution Date if such amounts held for future distributions had not been so
used to make Advances. The Trustee will provide notice to the Servicer by
telecopy by the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Distribution
Date in the event that the amount remitted by the Servicer to the Trustee on
such date is less than the Advances required to be made by the Servicer for the
related Distribution Date.

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

                  (d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no
Advance or Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the
Servicer if such Advance or Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a
Nonrecoverable Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, respectively. The
determination by the Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or a
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed Advance or Servicing
Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance or Nonrecoverable
Servicing Advance, respectively, shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate
of the Servicer delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee.

                  SECTION 4.04. Allocation of Realized Losses.

                  (a) Prior to each Determination Date, the Servicer shall
determine as to each Mortgage Loan and REO Property: (i) the total amount of
Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any Final Recovery
Determinations made during the related Prepayment Period; (ii) whether and the
extent to which such Realized Losses constituted Bankruptcy Losses; and (iii)
the respective portions of such Realized Losses allocable to interest and
allocable to principal. Prior to each Determination Date, the Servicer shall
also determine as to each Mortgage Loan: (i) the total amount of Realized
Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any Deficient Valuations made during
the related Prepayment Period; and (ii) the total amount of Realized Losses, if
any, incurred in connection with Debt Service Reductions in respect of Monthly
Payments due during the related Due Period. The information described in the two
preceding sentences that is to be supplied by the Servicer shall be evidenced by
an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee by the Servicer prior to the
Determination Date immediately following the end of (i) in the case of
Bankruptcy Losses allocable to interest, the Due Period during which any such
Realized Loss was incurred, and (ii) in the case of all other Realized Losses,
the Prepayment Period during which any such Realized Loss was incurred.

                  (b) All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be
allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date as follows: first, to the
Accrued Certificate Interest for the Class CE Certificates for the related
Interest Accrual Period; second, to the Class CE Certificates, until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; third, to the
Class M-9 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been
reduced to zero, fourth, to the Class M-8 Certificates, until the Certificate
Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, fifth, to the Class M-7
Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to
zero; sixth, to the Class M-6 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal

until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, tenth,
to the Class M-2 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof
has been reduced to zero and eleventh, to the Class M-1 Certificates, until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero.

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

                  Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Mezzanine Certificate
on any Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof by the amount so allocated and any allocation of Realized Losses
to a Class CE Certificates shall be made by reducing the amount otherwise
payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(4). No allocations of any
Realized Losses shall be made to the Certificate Principal Balances of the Class
A Certificates or the Class P Certificates.

                  As used herein, an allocation of a Realized Loss on a "PRO
RATA basis" among two or more specified Classes of Certificates means an
allocation on a pro rata basis, among the various Classes so specified, to each
such Class of Certificates on the basis of their then outstanding Certificate
Principal Balances prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such
Distribution Date. All Realized Losses and all other losses allocated to a Class
of Certificates hereunder will be allocated among the Certificates of such Class
in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby.

                  All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated
by the Trustee on each Distribution Date to the following REMIC I Regular
Interests in the specified percentages, as follows: first, to Uncertificated
Interest payable to the REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA and REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the REMIC I Interest Loss
Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%, respectively; second, to the Uncertificated

Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTM8 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,

I-LTM8 has been reduced to zero; fifth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC
I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM7 and REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance

I-LTM2 has been reduced to zero; and eleventh, to the Uncertificated Balances of
REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM1 and REMIC I
Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated

                  SECTION 4.05. Compliance with Withholding Requirements

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

                  SECTION 4.06. Exchange Commission; Additional Information.

                  (a) The Trustee and the Servicer shall reasonably cooperate
with the Depositor in connection with satisfying the reporting requirements
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The
Trustee shall prepare on behalf of the Trust Fund any Forms 8-K and 10-K
customary for similar securities as required by the Exchange Act and the Rules
and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, and the
Depositor shall sign (or shall cause another entity, other than the Trustee,
acceptable to the Securities and Exchange Commission to sign) and the Trustee
shall file (via the Securities and Exchange Commission's Electronic Data
Gathering and Retrieval System) such forms on behalf of the Depositor (or such
other entity). The Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a limited power of
attorney to execute each Form 8-K and file such Forms 8-K and 10-K on behalf of
the Depositor. Such power of attorney shall continue until the earlier of (i)
receipt by the Trustee from the Depositor of written termination of such power
of attorney and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the Depositor, and not the Trustee, shall be responsible
for executing each Form 10-K filed on behalf of the Trust.

                  (b) Each Form 8-K shall be filed by the Trustee within 15 days
after each Distribution Date, with a copy of the statement to the
Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to
March 30th of each year (or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange
Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission),
the Trustee shall file a Form 10-K, in substance as required by applicable law
or applicable Security and Exchange Commission staff's interpretations. Such
Form 10-K shall include as exhibits the Servicer's annual statement of
compliance described under Section 3.20 and the accountant's report described
under Section 3.21, in each case to the extent they have been timely delivered
to the Trustee. If they are not so timely delivered, the Trustee shall file an
amended Form 10-K including such documents as exhibits reasonably promptly after
they are delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee shall have no liability with
respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such periodic reports
resulting from or relating to the Trustee's inability or failure to obtain any
information not resulting from its own negligence or willful misconduct. The
Form 10-K shall also include a certification in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit I-1 (the "Certification"), which shall be signed by the senior officer
of the Depositor in charge of securitization.

                  (c) In addition, the Trustee shall sign a certification (in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit I-2) for the benefit of the Depositor and
its officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain aspects of the
Certification (the "Trustee Certification") (provided, however, that the Trustee
shall not undertake an analysis of the accountant's report attached as an
exhibit to the Form 10-K), and the Servicer shall sign a certification in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit I-3) for the benefit of the Depositor, the
Trustee and their officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain aspects
of items of the Certification (the "Servicer Certification"). The Servicer's
certification shall be delivered to the Depositor by no later than March 18th of
each year (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding
Business Day), the Trustee's certification shall be delivered to the Depositor
by no later than March 19th of each year and the Depositor shall deliver the
Certification to the Trustee for filing no later than March 20th of each year
(or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day).

                  In addition, (i) the Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless
the Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any
actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary
legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out
of or based upon (a) the failure of the Trustee to timely deliver the Trustee
Certification or (b) any material misstatement in the Trustee Certification and
(ii) the Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Trustee
and their respective officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any
actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary
legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out
of or based upon (a) the failure of the Servicer to timely deliver the Servicer
Certification or (b) any material misstatement in the Servicer Certification and
(iii) the Depositor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and the
Servicer and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any losses,
damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and
related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based
upon a breach of the Depositor's obligations under this Section 4.06 or the
Depositor's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.
If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to
hold harmless the Depositor, the Trustee or the Servicer, as applicable, then
the Depositor (in connection with a breach of its obligations under this Section
4.06 or its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith)
or the Trustee or the Servicer (in connection with a breach of its respective
obligations under this Section 4.06(c)), agrees that it shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by the other party as a result of the losses, claims,
damages or liabilities of the other party in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect the relative fault and the relative benefit of the Depositor, the
Trustee and the Servicer.

                  (d) Upon any filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Depositor a copy of any
executed report, statement or information.

                  (e) Prior to January 30 of the first year in which the Trustee
is able to do so under applicable law, the Trustee shall file a Form 15
Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust Fund.

                  (f) To the extent that, following the Closing Date, the
Depositor certifies that reports and certifications differing from those
required under this Section 4.06 comply with the reporting requirements under
the Exchange Act, the Trustee and the Servicer hereby agree that they will
reasonably cooperate to amend the provisions of this Section 4.06 in order to
comply with such amended reporting requirements and such amendment of this
Section 4.06. Any such amendment may result in the reduction of the reports
filed by the Depositor under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant to this
Section that adversely affects its obligations and immunities under this
Agreement.

                                THE CERTIFICATES

                  SECTION 5.01. The Certificates.

                  (a) The Certificates in the aggregate will represent the
entire beneficial ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other assets
included in REMIC I.

                  The Certificates will be substantially in the forms annexed
hereto as Exhibits A-1 through A-17. The Certificates of each Class will be
issuable in registered form only, in denominations of authorized Percentage
Interests as described in the definition thereof. Each Certificate will share
ratably in all rights of the related Class.

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

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

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

                  If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that
the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as Depository, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a
qualified successor or (ii) after the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default,
Certificate Owners representing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the
Ownership Interests of the Book-Entry Certificates advise the Trustee through
the Depository, in writing, that the continuation of a book-entry system through
the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners, the
Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the
occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates
to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the
Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian or the Depository, as
applicable, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for
registration of transfer, the Trustee shall cause the Definitive Certificates to
be issued. Such Definitive Certificates will be issued in minimum denominations
of $25,000, except that any beneficial ownership that was represented by a
Book-Entry Certificate in an amount less than $25,000 immediately prior to the
issuance of a Definitive Certificate shall be issued in a minimum denomination
equal to the amount represented by such Book-Entry Certificate. None of the
Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in the
delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be
protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive
Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be
performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by
the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive
Certificates, and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive
Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.

                  SECTION 5.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of
Certificates.

                  (a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at one of the offices
or agencies to be appointed by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of
Section 8.11, a Certificate Register for the Certificates in which, subject to
such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for
the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates
as herein provided.

                  (b) No transfer of any Class M-9 Certificate, Class CE
Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate (the "Private
Certificates") shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "1933 Act"), and effective registration or qualification under applicable
state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such
registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer of a Private
Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification (other than in
connection with (i) the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the
Depositor to an Affiliate of the Depositor or, in the case of the Residual
Certificates, the first transfer by an Affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the
transfer of any such Class CE, Class P or Residual Certificate to the issuer
under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture or (iii) a
transfer of any such Class CE, Class P or Residual Certificate from the issuer
under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture to the
Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor or any transfer of any such
Certificate to Carrington Asset Acceptance Company, L.L.C or an Affiliate
thereof), the Trustee shall require receipt of: (i) if such transfer is
purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written
certifications from the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and
from such Certificateholder's prospective transferee, substantially in the forms
attached hereto as Exhibit F-1; and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of
Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such
registration (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund
or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer in its capacity as such or any
Sub-Servicer), together with copies of the written certification(s) of the
Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and/or such
Certificateholder's prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is
based, if any. None of the Depositor or the Trustee is obligated to register or
qualify any such Certificates under the 1933 Act or any other securities laws or
to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the
transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any
Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer of any such Certificate shall,
and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, 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.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any such
transfer of any Ownership Interest in any Private Certificate that is a
Book-Entry Certificate, except with respect to the initial transfer of any such
Ownership Interest by the Depositor, such transfer shall be required to be made
in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, and the transferee will be deemed
to have made each of the transferee representations and warranties set forth
Exhibit F-1 hereto in respect of such interest as if it was evidenced by a
Definitive Certificate. The Certificate Owner of any such Ownership Interest in
any such Book-Entry Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does
hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee and the Depositor against any liability
that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance
with such federal and state laws.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no certification or Opinion of
Counsel described in this Section 5.02(b) will be required in connection with
the transfer, on the Closing Date, of any Residual Certificate by the Depositor
to an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501(d) of the 1933 Act.

                  No transfer of a Private Certificate (other than a Class M-9
Certificate) or any interest therein shall be made to any Plan subject to ERISA
or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on
behalf of any such Plan or any Person acquiring such Certificates with "Plan
Assets" of a Plan within the meaning of the Department of Labor regulation
promulgated at 29 C.F.R.ss. 2510.3-101 ("Plan Assets"), as certified by such
transferee in the form of Exhibit G, the Trustee is provided with an Opinion of
Counsel on which the Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer may rely, to the
effect that the purchase of such Certificates is permissible under ERISA and the
Code, will not constitute or result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction
under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund to any obligation or liability
(including obligations or liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code)
in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust
Fund. Neither a certification nor an Opinion of Counsel will be required in
connection with (i) the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the
Depositor to an Affiliate of the Depositor or, in the case of the Residual
Certificates, the first transfer by an Affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the
transfer of any such Class C, Class P or Residual Certificate to the issuer
under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture or (iii) a
transfer of any such Class C, Class P or Residual Certificate from the issuer
under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture to the
Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor (in which case, the Depositor or any
Affiliate thereof shall have deemed to have represented that such Affiliate is
not a Plan or a Person investing Plan Assets) and the Trustee shall be entitled
to conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the request of the
Trustee, shall be a written representation) from the Depositor of the status of
such transferee as an affiliate of the Depositor.

                  Each beneficial owner of a Mezzanine Certificate or any
interest therein shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its
acquisition or holding of that certificate or interest therein, that either (i)
it is not a Plan investor, (ii) it has acquired and is holding such Mezzanine
Certificate in reliance on the Underwriters' Exemption, and that it understands
that there are certain conditions to the availability of the Underwriters'
Exemption, including that such Mezzanine Certificate must be rated, at the time
of purchase, not lower than "BBB-" (or its equivalent) by Fitch, S&P or Moody's
and the Certificates are so rated and, in the case of a Class M-9 Certificate,
and that it is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation
D of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 and
that it will obtain a representation from any transferee that such transferee is
an accredited investor so long as it is required to obtain a representation
regarding compliance with the 1933 Act or (iii) (1) it is an insurance company,
(2) the source of funds used to acquire or hold the Certificate or interest
therein is an "insurance company general account," as such term is defined in
PTCE 95-60, and (3) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been
satisfied.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                  (e) At the option of the Holder thereof, any Certificate may
be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class with authorized
denominations and a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of such
Certificate to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Trustee maintained
for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver,
the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to
receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange
shall (if so required by the Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by
a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Trustee duly
executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. In
addition, with respect to each Class R Certificate, the Holder thereof may
exchange, in the manner described above, such Class R Certificate for three
separate Certificates, each representing such Holder's respective Percentage
Interest in the Class R-I Interest and the Class R-II Interest, respectively, in
each case that was evidenced by the Class R Certificate being exchanged.

                  (f) No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made
for any transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

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

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

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

                  SECTION 5.04. Persons Deemed Owners.

                  The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of any
of them may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the
owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to
Section 4.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Depositor,
the Servicer, the Trustee or any agent of any of them shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.

                  SECTION 5.05. Certain Available Information.

                  On or prior to the date of the first sale of any Private

                                   ARTICLE VI

                         THE DEPOSITOR AND THE SERVICER

                  SECTION 6.01. Liability of the Depositor and the Servicer.

                  The Depositor and the Servicer each shall be liable in
accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed
by this Agreement upon them in their respective capacities as Depositor and
Servicer and undertaken hereunder by the Depositor and the Servicer herein.

                  SECTION 6.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or the
                                Servicer.

                  Subject to the following paragraph, the Depositor will keep in
full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws
of the jurisdiction of its incorporation. Subject to the following paragraph,
the Servicer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a
corporation under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation. The
Depositor and the Servicer each will 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, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans
and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.

                  The Depositor or the Servicer may be merged or consolidated
with or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to
any Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation
to which the Depositor or the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person
succeeding to the business of the Depositor or the Servicer, shall be the
successor of the Depositor 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 the successor or surviving Person to the Servicer shall
be qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac;
and provided further that the Rating Agencies' ratings of the Class A
Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates in effect immediately prior to such
merger or consolidation will not be qualified, reduced or withdrawn as a result
thereof (as evidenced by a letter to such effect from the Rating Agencies).

                  SECTION 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the
                                Servicer and Others.

                  (a) The Servicer (except the Trustee if it is required to
succeed the Servicer hereunder) indemnifies and holds the each Certificateholder
harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees
and expenses that any Certificateholder may sustain in any way related to the
failure of the Servicer to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in
compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer shall immediately
notify each Certificateholder if a claim is made that may result in such claims,
losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees or related costs, judgments,
or any other costs, fees and expenses, and the Servicer shall assume 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 the Certificateholder in respect of such
claim. The provisions of this Section 6.03 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment of the outstanding Certificates.

                  (b) None of the Depositor, the Servicer or any of the
directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor or the Servicer shall
be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any
action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith
pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that
this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Servicer or any such person
against any breach of warranties, representations or covenants made herein, or
against any specific liability imposed on the Servicer pursuant hereto, or
against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason
of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the
Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the
Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, PRIMA FACIE,
is properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising
hereunder. The Depositor, the Servicer and any director, officer, employee or
agent of the Depositor or the Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by
the Trust Fund against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection
with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than
any loss, liability or expense relating to any specific Mortgage Loan or
Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise
reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) or any loss, liability or expense
incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder. Neither the Depositor nor the Servicer shall
be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action
unless such action is related to its respective duties under this Agreement;
provided, however, that each of the Depositor and the Servicer may in its
discretion undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable
with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto
and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal
expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom (except
any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad
faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of
reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder) shall be expenses, costs
and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor and the Servicer shall be
entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as and to the
extent provided in Section 3.11, any such right of reimbursement being prior to
the rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection
Account.

                  SECTION 6.04. Limitation on Resignation of the Servicer.

                  (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 and Section
6.02, the Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby
imposed on it except (i) upon determination that the performance of its
obligations or duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law
or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other
activities carried on by it or its subsidiaries or Affiliates, the other
activities of the Servicer so causing such a conflict being of a type and nature
carried on by the Servicer or its subsidiaries or Affiliates at the date of this
Agreement or (ii) upon satisfaction of the following conditions: (a) the
Servicer has proposed a successor servicer to the Trustee in writing and such
proposed successor servicer is reasonably acceptable to the Depositor and (b)
each Rating Agency shall have delivered a letter to the Trustee prior to the
appointment of the successor servicer stating that the proposed appointment of
such successor servicer as Servicer hereunder will not result in the reduction
or withdrawal of the then current rating of the Certificates; provided, however,
that no such resignation by the Servicer shall become effective until such
successor servicer or, in the case of (i) above, the Trustee shall have assumed
the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations hereunder or the Trustee shall
have designated, a successor servicer in accordance with Section 7.02. Any such
resignation shall not relieve the Servicer of responsibility for any of the
obligations specified in Sections 7.01 and 7.02 as obligations that survive the
resignation or termination of the Servicer. Any such determination permitting
the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to clause (i) above shall be evidenced
by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee.

                  (b) Except as expressly provided herein, the Servicer shall
not assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to
any other Person, or delegate to or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint
any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be
performed by the Servicer hereunder. The foregoing prohibition on assignment
shall not prohibit the Servicer from designating a Sub-Servicer as payee of any
indemnification amount payable to the Servicer hereunder; provided, however,
that as provided in Section 3.06 hereof, no Sub-Servicer shall be a third-party
beneficiary hereunder and the parties hereto shall not be required to recognize
any Sub-Servicer as an indemnitee under this Agreement.

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

                  The Servicer shall afford (and any Sub-Servicing Agreement
shall provide that each Sub-Servicer shall afford) the Depositor and the
Trustee, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours, access to all
records maintained by the Servicer (and any such Sub-Servicer) 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 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 as it possesses (and that any such Sub-Servicer possesses). To
the extent such information is not otherwise available to the public, the
Depositor and the Trustee shall not disseminate any information obtained
pursuant to the preceding two sentences without the Servicer's written consent,
except as required pursuant to this Agreement or to the extent that it is
appropriate to do so (i) in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing
authorities or other governmental agencies 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 and the Trustee or
the Trust Fund, and in any case, the Depositor or the Trustee, (iii) disclosure
of any and all information that is or becomes publicly known, or information
obtained by the Trustee from sources other than the Depositor or the Servicer,
(iv) disclosure as required pursuant to this Agreement or (v) disclosure of any
and all information (A) in any preliminary or final offering circular,
registration statement or contract or other document pertaining to the
transactions contemplated by the Agreement approved in advance by the Depositor
or the Servicer or (B) to any affiliate, independent or internal auditor, agent,
employee or attorney of the Trustee having a need to know the same, provided
that the Trustee advises such recipient of the confidential nature of the
information being disclosed as the case may be, shall use its best efforts to
assure the confidentiality of any such disseminated non-public information. The
Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the 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.

                                     DEFAULT

                  SECTION 7.01. Servicer Events of Default.

                  (a) "Servicer Event of Default," wherever used herein, means
any one of the following events:

                  (i) any failure by the Servicer to remit to the Trustee for
         distribution to the Certificateholders any payment (other than an
         Advance required to be made from its own funds on any Servicer
         Remittance Date pursuant to Section 4.03) required to be made under the
         terms of the Certificates and this Agreement which continues unremedied
         for a period of one Business Day after the date upon which written
         notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have
         been given to the Servicer by the Depositor or the Trustee (in which
         case notice shall be provided by telecopy), or to the Servicer, the
         Depositor and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at
         least 25% of the Voting Rights; or

                  (ii) any failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe
         or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or
         agreements on the part of the Servicer contained in this Agreement, or
         the breach by the Servicer of any representation and warranty contained
         in Section 2.05, which continues unremedied for a period of 30 days (or
         if such failure or breach cannot be remedied within 30 days, then such
         remedy shall have been commenced within 30 days and diligently pursued
         thereafter; provided, however, that in no event shall such failure or
         breach be allowed to exist for a period of greater than 90 days) after
         the earlier of (i) the date on which written notice of such failure,
         requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the
         Servicer by the Depositor or the Trustee, or to the Servicer, the
         Depositor and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at
         least 25% of the Voting Rights and (ii) actual knowledge of such
         failure by a Servicing Officer; 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
         Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force
         undischarged or unstayed for a period of 90 days; or

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

                  (vi) any failure of the Servicer to make any Advance on any
         Servicer Remittance Date required to be made from its own funds
         pursuant to Section 4.03 which continues unremedied until 12:00 p.m.
         New York time on the Business Day immediately following the Servicer
         Remittance Date.

                  If a Servicer Event of Default described in clauses (i)
through (v) of this Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such case,
so long as such Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the
Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 51% of Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice in
writing to the Servicer and to the Depositor, terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement, to
the extent permitted by law, in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds
thereof. If a Servicer Event of Default described in clause (vi) hereof shall
occur, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Servicer, terminate all of
the rights and obligations of the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under
this Agreement in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof and the
Trustee as successor Servicer, or another successor servicer appointed in
accordance with Section 7.02, shall immediately make such Advance. 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 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 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 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 Servicer's
functions under this Agreement, and to cooperate with the Trustee 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 Trustee 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, the Distribution Account 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 serviced by
the Servicer (provided, however, that the Servicer shall continue to be entitled
to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior
to the date of such termination, whether in respect of Advances, Servicing
Advances or otherwise, and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of
Section 6.03, notwithstanding any such termination, with respect to events
occurring prior to such termination). For purposes of this Section 7.01, the
Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Servicer Event of Default
unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in the
Trustee's Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless written
notice of any event which is in fact such a Servicer Event of Default is
received by the Trustee and such notice references the Certificates, the Trust
Fund or this Agreement.

                  SECTION 7.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

                  (a) (1) On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice
of termination, the Trustee shall separately assume and become 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 all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter
shall be assumed by the Trustee (except for any representations or warranties of
the Servicer under this Agreement, the responsibilities, duties and liabilities
contained in Section 2.05 and the obligation to deposit amounts in respect of
losses pursuant to Section 3.12) by the terms and provisions hereof including,
without limitation, the Servicer's obligations to make Advances pursuant to
Section 4.03; provided, however, that if the Trustee is prohibited by law or
regulation from obligating itself to make advances regarding delinquent mortgage
loans, then the Trustee shall not be obligated to make Advances pursuant to
Section 4.03; and provided further, that any failure to perform such duties or
responsibilities caused by the Servicer's failure to provide information
required by Section 7.01 shall not be considered a default by the Trustee as
successor to the Servicer hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Trustee 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
hereunder. Notwithstanding the above and subject to Section 7.02(a)(2) below,
the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable
to so act or if it is prohibited by law from making advances regarding
delinquent mortgage loans or if the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
51% of the Voting Rights so request in writing to the Trustee promptly appoint
or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, an established
mortgage loan servicing institution acceptable to each Rating Agency without
qualification, withdrawal or downgrading of the ratings then assigned to any of
the Certificates and having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000, as the
successor to the Servicer under this Agreement in the assumption of all or any
part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer under this
Agreement.

                  All Servicing Transfer Costs shall be paid by the predecessor
Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs (provided,
that if the Trustee is the predecessor Servicer by reason of this Section 7.02,
such costs shall be paid by the Servicer preceding the Trustee as successor
servicer), and if such predecessor or initial Servicer, as applicable, defaults
in its obligation to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by the successor
Servicer or the Trustee (in which case the successor Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor from the assets of the
Trust Fund).

                  (2) 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 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 and such successor shall take such action,
consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such
succession. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer under this
Agreement, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided.

                  Any successor to the Servicer, including the Trustee, shall
during the term of its service as servicer continue to service and administer
the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of Certificateholders, and maintain in force
a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in the
performance of its obligations as Servicer hereunder and a fidelity bond in
respect of its officers, employees and agents to the same extent as the Servicer
is so required pursuant to Section 3.14

                  SECTION 7.03. Notification to Certificateholders.

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

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

                  SECTION 7.04. Waiver of Servicer Events of Default.

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

                             CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

                  SECTION 8.01. Duties of Trustee.

                  The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of
Default and after the curing of all Servicer Events of Default which may have
occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement. During a Servicer Event of Default,
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. Any permissive right of the Trustee enumerated in
this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty.

                  The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished
to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they
conform on their face to the requirements of this Agreement. If any such
instrument is found not to conform on its face to the requirements of this
Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee shall take such action as it deems
appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not
corrected to its satisfaction, will provide notice thereof to the
Certificateholders.

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

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

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

                  (iii) The Trustee shall not 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 exercising any trust or power conferred upon it,
         under this Agreement.

                  SECTION 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.

                  (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:

                  (i) The Trustee may request and conclusively rely upon and
         shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any
         resolution, Officers' Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other
         certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
         consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably
         believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
         the proper party or parties;

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

                  (iii) The Trustee shall not be 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 the Trustee
         security or indemnity reasonably 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
         obligation, upon the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default (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) The Trustee shall not 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) Prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default
         hereunder and after the curing of all Servicer Events of Default 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 of the costs, expenses
         or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such
         investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee not reasonably assured
         to the Trustee by such Certificateholders, the Trustee may require
         indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against such expense or
         liability from such Certificateholders as a condition to taking any
         such action;

                  (vi) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
         hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
         through agents, accountants or attorneys, custodians or nominees, and
         the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence
         on the part of any agents, accountants or attorneys appointed with due
         care by it hereunder;

                  (vii) The Trustee shall have no obligation to invest and
         reinvest any cash held in the absence of timely and specific written
         investment direction from the Servicer or the Depositor. In no event
         shall the Trustee be liable for the selection of investments or for
         investment losses incurred thereon. The Trustee shall have no liability
         in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any
         investment incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment
         prior to its stated maturity or the failure of the Servicer or the
         Depositor to provide timely written investment direction; and

                  (viii) In order to comply with its duties under the USA
         Patriot Act of 2001, the Trustee shall obtain and verify certain
         information and documentation from the other parties to this Agreement
         including, but not limited to, each such party's name, address and
         other identifying information.

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

                  SECTION 8.03. Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage
                                Loans.

                  The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other
than the signature of the Trustee, the authentication of the Certificate
Registrar on the Certificates, the acknowledgments of the Trustee contained in
Article II and the representations and warranties of the Trustee in Section
8.13) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor and the Trustee assumes
no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations or
warranties as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement (other than as
specifically set forth with respect to such party in Section 8.13) or of the
Certificates (other than the signature of the Trustee and authentication of the
Certificate Registrar on the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan or related
document or of MERS or the MERS(R) System. The Trustee shall not be accountable
for the use or application by the Depositor of any of the Certificates or of the
proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid
to the Depositor or the Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited
in or withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Servicer, other than any
funds held by or on behalf of the Trustee in accordance with Section 3.10,
subject to Section 8.01.

                  SECTION 8.04. Trustee May Own Certificates.

                  The Trustee in its individual capacity or any other capacity
may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights it would
have if it were not Trustee.

                  SECTION 8.05. Trustee's Fees and Expenses.

                  (a) The Trustee shall withdraw from the Distribution Account
on each Distribution Date and pay to itself the Trustee Fee. The Trustee shall
pay a portion of the Trustee Fee to the Custodian as compensation for the
Custodian's services under the Custodial Agreement in accordance with a separate
fee schedule with the Custodian. In addition, the Trustee shall pay the
Custodian amounts from the Distribution Account as set forth below.

                  The Trustee, or any director, officer, employee or agent of
the Trustee shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any
loss, liability or expense (not including expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustee including the compensation and the expenses and
disbursements of its agents and counsel, in the ordinary course of the Trustee's
performance in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) incurred by the
Trustee in connection with any Servicer Event of Default (not including
expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in its
capacity as successor Servicer), default, claim or legal action or any pending
or threatened claim or legal action arising out of or in connection with the
acceptance or administration of its obligations and duties under this Agreement,
other than any loss, liability or expense (i) resulting from a breach of the
Servicer's obligations and duties under this Agreement (for which the Servicer
indemnifies pursuant to Section 8.05(b)), (ii) for the expenses of preparing and
filing Tax Returns pursuant to Section 10.01(d) or (iii) any loss, liability or
expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence
in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of
its respective obligations and duties hereunder. It is understood by the parties
hereto that a "claim" as used in the preceding sentence includes any claim for
indemnification made by the Custodian under Section 23 of the Custodial
Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not lose any right it may
have to indemnification under this Section 8.05 due to the willful misfeasance,
bad faith or negligence of the Custodian in the performance of its duties under
the Custodial Agreement or by reason of the Custodian's reckless disregard of
its obligations and duties under the Custodial Agreement. Any amounts payable to
the Trustee, or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee 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 any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee, may have hereunder in its
capacity as such, may be withdrawn by the Trustee from the Distribution Account
at any time.

                  (b) The Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee 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 termination or discharge of this Agreement and the resignation
or removal of the Trustee. Any payment hereunder made by the Servicer to the
Trustee shall be from the Servicer's own funds, without reimbursement from the
Trust Fund therefor.

                  The provisions of this Section 8.05 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement or the earlier resignation or removal of the
Trustee.

                  SECTION 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.

                  The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or
an association (other than the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer or any
Affiliate of the foregoing) organized and doing business under the laws of any
state or the United States of America, 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, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the
combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association shall be deemed
to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.

                  SECTION 8.07. Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.

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

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

                  The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the
Voting Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee
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 so removed
and one complete set to the successor so appointed. A copy of such instrument
shall be delivered to the Certificateholders and the Servicer by the Depositor.

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

                  SECTION 8.08. Successor Trustee.

                  Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor
Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the
resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and
such successor trustee without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become
fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its
predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as Trustee
herein. The predecessor trustee shall deliver to the successor trustee 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,
which custodian shall become the agent of any successor trustee hereunder), and
the Depositor and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such
instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more
fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such
rights, powers, duties and obligations.

                  No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in
this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall
be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 and the appointment of such
successor trustee 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 as
provided in this Section, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of
such trustee hereunder 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 trustee, the
successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the
Depositor.

                  SECTION 8.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.

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

                  SECTION 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 REMIC I 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 REMIC I, and to
vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to REMIC I, 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. Any such co-trustee or separate trustee
shall be subject to the written approval of the Servicer. 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 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. The Servicer shall be
responsible for the fees of any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed under
this Section 8.10.

                  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 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
REMIC I 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 and a
copy thereof given to the Depositor and the Servicer.

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

                  SECTION 8.11. Appointment of the Custodian.

                  The Trustee may, at the direction of the Depositor and with
the consent of the Servicer, appoint the Custodian to hold all or a portion of
the Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee, by entering into the Custodial
Agreement. The appointment of the Custodian may at any time be terminated and a
substitute custodian appointed therefor upon the reasonable request of the
Servicer to the Trustee, the consent to which shall not be unreasonably
withheld. The Trustee shall pay the fees (out of the Trustee Fee) and expenses
not covered by the monthly fee paid to the Custodian (out of the Distribution
Account) in accordance with Section 8.05 hereof and the Custodial Agreement. The
Trustee, as directed by the Depositor and with the consent of the Servicer
initially appoints Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Custodian. Subject to Article VIII
hereof, the Trustee agrees to comply with the terms of the Custodial Agreement
and to enforce the terms and provisions thereof against the Custodian for the
benefit of the Certificateholders having an interest in any Mortgage File held
by the Custodian. The Custodian shall be a depository institution or trust
company subject to supervision by federal or state authority, shall have
combined capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000 and shall be qualified to
do business in the jurisdiction in which it holds any Mortgage File. The
Custodial Agreement may be amended only as provided therein. The Trustee shall
not be liable for the acts or omissions of the Custodian. In no event shall the
appointment of the Custodian pursuant to the Custodial Agreement diminish the
obligations of the Trustee hereunder.

                  SECTION 8.12. Appointment of Office or Agency.

                  The Trustee will designate an office or agency in the City of
New York where the Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer
or exchange, and presented for final distribution, and where notices and demands
to or upon the Trustee in respect of the Certificates and this Agreement may be
delivered. As of the Closing Date, the Trustee designates the office of its
agent located c/o DTC Transfer Agent Services, 55 Water Street, Jeanette Park
Entrance, New York, NY 10041 for such purposes.

                  SECTION 8.13. Representations and Warranties of the Trustee.

                  The Trustee hereby represents and warrants, solely as to
itself, to the Servicer and the Depositor, as of the Closing Date, that:

                  (i) It is a national banking association duly organized,
         validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United
         States.

                  (ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by it, and
         the performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by it,
         will not violate its charter or bylaws.

                  (iii) It has the full power and authority to enter into and
         consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has duly
         authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement,
         and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement.

                  (iv) This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and
         delivery by the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid, legal and
         binding obligation of it, enforceable against it in accordance with the
         terms hereof, subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
         receivership, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the
         enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and (B) general principles
         of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
         proceeding in equity or at law.

                                   TERMINATION

                  SECTION 9.01. Termination Upon Repurchase or Liquidation of
                                All Mortgage Loans.

                  (a) Subject to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and
responsibilities under this Agreement of the Depositor, the Servicer and the
Trustee (other than the obligations of the Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to
Section 8.05 and of the Servicer to make remittances to the Trustee and the
Trustee to make payments in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the
Classes of Certificates as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon payment
to the Certificateholders and the deposit of all amounts held by or on behalf of
the Trustee and required hereunder to be so paid or deposited on the
Distribution Date coinciding with or following the earlier to occur of (i) the
purchase by the Terminator (as defined below) of all Mortgage Loans and each REO
Property remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property
remaining in REMIC I; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust
created hereby continue beyond the earlier of (a) the expiration of 21 years
from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the
late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the
date hereof and (b) the Latest Possible Maturity Date (as defined in the
Preliminary Statement).

                  Subject to Section 3.10 hereof, the purchase by the Terminator
of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I shall be at a
price equal to the greater of (i) the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans and the appraised value of any REO Properties (such appraisal to be
conducted by an Independent appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Terminator
and, to the extent that the Class A Certificates or a Class of Mezzanine
Certificates will not receive all amounts owed to it as a result of the
termination, the Trustee, in their reasonable discretion) and (ii) the fair
market value of the Mortgage Loans and the REO Properties (as determined by the
Terminator and, to the extent that the Class A Certificates or a Class of
Mezzanine Certificates will not receive all amounts owed to it as a result of
the termination, the Trustee (it being understood and agreed that any
determination by the Trustee shall be made solely in reliance on an appraisal by
an Independent appraiser as provided above)), as of the close of business on the
third Business Day next preceding the date upon which notice of any such
termination is furnished to the related Certificateholders pursuant to Section
9.01(c), in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the weighted
average of the Mortgage Rates through the end of the Due Period preceding the
final Distribution Date plus unreimbursed Servicing Advances, Advances, any
unpaid Servicing Fees allocable to such Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and
any accrued and unpaid Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts (the "Termination Price");
provided, however, such option may only be exercised if the Termination Price is
sufficient to pay all interest accrued on, as well as amounts necessary to
retire the principal balance of, each class of notes issued pursuant to the
Indenture. If the determination of the fair market value of the Mortgage Loans
and REO Properties shall be required to be made by the Terminator and an
Independent appraiser as provided above, (A) such appraisal shall be obtained at
no expense to the Trustee and (B) the Trustee may conclusively rely on, and
shall be protected in relying on, such appraisal.

                  (b) The majority Holder of the Class CE Certificates (so long
as such holder is not an affiliate of the Seller), shall have the right (the
party exercising such right, the "Terminator"), to purchase all of the Mortgage
Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i) of the
preceding paragraph no later than the Determination Date in the month
immediately preceding the Distribution Date on which the Certificates will be
retired; provided, however, that the Terminator may elect to purchase all of the
Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i)
above only if the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and
each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund at the time of such election is
reduced to less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date. By acceptance of a Residual Certificate,
the Holders of the Residual Certificates agree, in connection with any
termination hereunder, to assign and transfer any amounts in excess of par, and
to the extent received in respect of such termination, to pay any such amounts
to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates.

                  (c) Notice of the liquidation of the Certificates shall be

Mortgage Loans and each REO Property or the final payment on or other
liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property remaining in REMIC I
pursuant to Section 9.01, the Trust Fund (or the applicable Trust REMIC) shall
be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements:

                  (i) The Trustee shall specify the first day in the 90-day
         liquidation period in a statement attached to each Trust REMIC's final
         Tax Return pursuant to Treasury regulation Section 1.860F-1 and shall
         satisfy all requirements of a qualified liquidation under Section 860F
         of the Code and any regulations thereunder, as evidenced by an Opinion

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

                  (iii) At the time of the making of the final payment on the

         terminate at that time.

                  (b) At the expense of the requesting Terminator (or, if the
Trust Fund is being terminated as a result of the occurrence of the event
described in clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 9.01, at the expense
of the Depositor without the right of reimbursement from the Trust Fund), the
Terminator shall prepare or cause to be prepared the documentation required in
connection with the adoption of a plan of liquidation of each Trust REMIC

                  (c) By their acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof

                                REMIC PROVISIONS

                  SECTION 10.01. REMIC Administration.

                  (a) The Trustee shall elect to treat each Trust REMIC as a
REMIC under the Code and, if necessary, under applicable state law. Each such
election will be made by the Trustee on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal
tax or information return or any appropriate state return for the taxable year
ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are
issued. For the purposes of the REMIC election in respect of REMIC I, the REMIC
I Regular Interests shall be designated as the Regular Interests in REMIC I and
the Class R-I Interest shall be designated as the Residual Interest in REMIC I.
The Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates shall be designated as
the Regular Interests in REMIC II and the Class R-II Interest shall be
designated as the Residual Interest in REMIC II. The Trustee shall not permit
the creation of any "interests" in any Trust REMIC (within the meaning of
Section 860G of the Code) other than the REMIC I Regular Interests and the
interests represented by the Certificates.

                  (b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "Startup Day"
of each Trust REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.

                  (c) The Trustee shall be reimbursed for any and all expenses
relating to any tax audit of the Trust Fund (including, but not limited to, any
professional fees or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to
each Trust REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax
authorities), including the expense of obtaining any tax related Opinion of
Counsel required to be obtained hereunder. The Trustee, as agent for each Trust
REMIC's tax matters person shall (i) act on behalf of the Trust Fund in relation
to any tax matter or controversy involving any Trust REMIC and (ii) represent
the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an
examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto.
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 Trust REMICs created
hereunder. By their acceptance thereof, the holder of the largest Percentage
Interest of the Residual Certificates hereby agrees to irrevocably appoint the
Trustee or an Affiliate as its agent to perform all of the duties of the tax
matters person for the Trust Fund.

                  (d) The Trustee shall prepare, sign and file all of the Tax
Returns (including Form 8811, which must be filed within 30 days following the
Closing Date) in respect of each Trust REMIC created hereunder. The expenses of
preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Trustee without any
right of reimbursement therefor.

                  (e) The Trustee shall perform on behalf of each Trust REMIC
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 Trustee 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 Trust REMIC. The Depositor shall provide or
cause to be provided to the Trustee, within ten (10) days after the Closing
Date, all information or data that the Trustee 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 Trustee shall take such action and shall cause each
Trust 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. The
Trustee shall not take any action or 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 each Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax
upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited
transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on
contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such
event, an "Adverse REMIC Event") unless the Trustee has received an Opinion of
Counsel, addressed to the Trustee (at the expense of the party seeking to take
such action but in no event at the expense of the Trustee) to the effect that
the contemplated action will not, with respect to any Trust REMIC, endanger such
status or result in the imposition of such a tax, nor shall the Servicer take or
fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the
Trustee 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 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 Trust REMIC or the respective assets of each, or causing any Trust REMIC to
take any action, which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement,
the Servicer will consult with the Trustee or its designee, in writing, with
respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with
respect to any Trust REMIC and the Servicer shall not take any such action or
cause any Trust REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee has
advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur; provided that the
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 Trustee may
consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be
borne by the party seeking to take the action not permitted by this Agreement,
but in no event shall such cost be an expense of the Trustee. At all times as
may be required by the Code, the Trustee will ensure that substantially all of
the assets of REMIC I 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, to the extent such obligations are within the Trustee's
control and not otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.

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

                  (h) On or before April 15 of each calendar year, commencing
April 15, 2006, the Trustee shall deliver to each Rating Agency an Officer's
Certificate of the Trustee stating the Trustee's compliance with this Article X.

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

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

                  (k) Neither the Trustee nor the Servicer shall enter into any
arrangement by which any Trust REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation
for services nor knowingly permit any Trust 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.

                  SECTION 10.02. Prohibited Transactions and Activities.

                  None of the Depositor, the Servicer 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 REMIC I, (iii) the termination of REMIC I
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 Trust REMIC
(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 Trust REMIC after the
Closing Date (other than a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in
accordance with Section 2.03), unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel,
addressed to the Trustee (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) that such sale, disposition, substitution,
acquisition or contribution will not (a) affect adversely the status of any
Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (b) cause any Trust REMIC to be subject to a tax on
"prohibited transactions" or "contributions" pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

                  SECTION 10.03. Servicer and Trustee Indemnification.

                  (a) The Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the
Depositor 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 or the Servicer as a result of a breach of the Trustee's
covenants set forth in this Article X.

                  (b) The Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the
Depositor 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 or the Trustee, as a result of a breach of the Servicer's covenants
set forth in Article III or this Article X.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

                  SECTION 11.01. Amendment.

                  This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee without the consent of any of the
Certificateholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity or defect, (ii) to correct, modify
or supplement any provisions herein (including to give effect to the
expectations of Certificateholders), (iii) to amend the provisions of Section
4.06 or (iii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions
arising under this Agreement which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions
of this Agreement, provided that such action shall not, as evidenced by either
(a) an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or (b) written notice to
the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee from the Rating Agencies that such
action will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any
outstanding Class of Certificates with respect to which it is a Rating Agency).
No amendment shall be deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of any Certificateholder who shall have consented thereto, and no
Opinion of Counsel or Rating Agency confirmation shall be required to address
the effect of any such amendment on any such consenting Certificateholder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither an Opinion of Counsel nor written notice
to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee from the Rating Agencies will be
required in connection with an amendment to the provisions of Section 4.06.

                  This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights for the purpose of
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i)
reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on
Mortgage Loans which are 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 (as
evidenced by either (i) an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee or (ii)
written notice to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee from the Rating
Agencies that such action will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the
rating of any outstanding Class of Certificates with respect to which it is a
Rating Agency) in a manner, other than as described in (i) or (iii) modify the
consents required by the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) without the
consent of the Holders of all Certificates then outstanding. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, for purposes of the giving or withholding of
consents pursuant to this Section 11.01, Certificates registered in the name of
the Depositor or the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof shall be entitled to
Voting Rights with respect to matters affecting such Certificates.

                  Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall
have first received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment (i)
will not result in the imposition of any tax on any Trust REMIC pursuant to the
REMIC Provisions or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any
time that any Certificates are outstanding and (ii) is authorized or permitted
hereunder.

                  Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee
shall furnish a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder.

                  It shall not be necessary for the consent of
Certificateholders under this Section 11.01 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.

                  The cost of any Opinion of Counsel to be delivered pursuant to
this Section 11.01 shall be borne by the Person seeking the related amendment,
but in no event shall such Opinion of Counsel be an expense of the Trustee.

                  The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to enter into any
amendment pursuant to this Section that affects its rights, duties and
immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.

                  SECTION 11.02. Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.

                  To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is
subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property
records in all 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 Certificateholders, but only upon
direction of the Certificateholders accompanied by 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 11.03. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.

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

                  No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as
expressly provided for 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 any 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 person 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 of any
provision 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 default
and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights shall have
made written request upon 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 15 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 is
understood and intended, and 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 whatsoever by virtue of any
provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the
Holders of any other of such 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 equal,
ratable and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and
enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Certificateholder,
the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in
equity.

                  SECTION 11.04. Governing Law.

                  This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions
thereof, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall
be determined in accordance with such laws, without regard to the conflicts of
laws provisions thereof.

                  SECTION 11.08. Article and Section References.

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

                  SECTION 11.09. Grant of Security Interest.

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

                                  ARTICLE XII

                    RIGHTS OF THE CLASS CE CERTIFICATEHOLDER

                  SECTION 12.01. Reports and Notices.

                  (a) In connection with the performance of its duties under
this Agreement relating to, among other things, the collection of Mortgage
Loans, the Servicer shall provide to the Class CE Certificateholder the
following notices and reports in a timely manner and using the same methodology
and calculations used in its standard servicing reports to the Trustee. The
Servicer shall send all such notices and reports to the Class CE
Certificateholder in electronic format unless otherwise specified herein or
agreed to in writing by the Class CE Certificateholder.

                  (i) The Servicer shall, within ten Business Days after each
         Distribution Date, commencing in March 2006, provide to the Class CE
         Certificateholder a report of each Mortgage Loan in the Trust Fund,
         indicating the information contained in Exhibit L for the Due Period
         relating to such Distribution Date and to the extent such information
         is reasonably available to the Servicer.

                  (ii) Within ten Business Days after each Distribution Date
         commencing in March 2006, the Servicer shall provide the Class CE
         Certificateholder with a report listing each Mortgage Loan that has
         liquidated or paid off. Such report shall specify, if applicable and to
         the extent the information is reasonably available to the Servicer: (a)
         mortgage loan number; (b) outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the
         mortgage loan upon its liquidation; (c) Realized Loss or gain; (d)
         Liquidation Proceeds; (e) payoff date; (f) Prepayment Charges
         collected.

                  (iii) Where applicable, the Servicer shall provide the Class
         CE Certificateholder with copies of all primary mortgage insurance
         claims filed, as well as the actual amount paid in respect of any
         claim. Copies of any primary mortgage insurance claims will be provided
         to the Class CE Certificateholder within ten Business Days of their
         filing with the mortgage insurance company.

                  (iv) The Servicer shall provide the Class CE Certificateholder
         with a copy of the monthly reporting to the Trustee, and of any notice
         submitted to the Trustee regarding a loan modification. Such notice
         shall be provided to the Class CE Certificateholder simultaneous with
         its delivery to the Trustee.

                  (v) On a monthly basis, the Servicer shall provide the Class
         CE Certificateholder with a delinquency report detailing at a minimum
         the percentages of 30-day, 60-day and 90-day delinquencies in the
         Servicer's total portfolio that move into foreclosure and the
         percentage of foreclosed loans the Servicer's total portfolio that
         remain in foreclosure.

                  (b) The Servicer shall make its servicing personnel available
during their normal business hours to respond to reasonable inquiries, either
orally or in writing by facsimile transmission, express mail, or electronic
mail, transmitted by the Class CE Certificateholder in connection with any
Mortgage Loan identified in a report under subsection 12.01(a)(i) through (iv)
which has been given to the Class CE Certificateholder; provided that the
Servicer shall only be required to provide information that is reasonably
accessible to its servicing personnel.

                  (c) If reasonably requested by the Class CE Certificateholder,
the Servicer shall make available to the Class CE Certificateholder access to
the underwriting files for defaulted Mortgage Loans, in original, photocopied or
imaged form, to the extent such files have been provided to the Servicer. The
Class CE Certificateholder agrees to protect the confidentiality of the
documents and information contained in underwriting files from all parties other
than the Depositor and Trustee, and agrees not to remove, mark or destroy any of
the documents contained therein.

                  (d) With respect to all Mortgage Loans which are serviced at
any time by the Servicer through a Sub-Servicer which has been approved by the
Class CE Certificateholder pursuant to the next succeeding sentence, the
Servicer shall be entitled to rely for all purposes hereunder, including for
purposes of fulfilling its reporting obligations under this Section 12.01, on
the accuracy and completeness of any information provided to it by the
applicable subservicer. The Servicer shall not allow any Mortgage Loan to be
serviced by a Sub-Servicer without the prior written consent of such
Sub-Servicer by the Class CE Certificateholder.

                  (e) The Servicer shall permit the Class CE Certificateholder
to conduct an on-site review and evaluation of the Servicer's operations as they
relate to the Mortgage Loans no more than annually, unless circumstances warrant
special review. Such review and evaluation will be conducted upon at least 30
days written notice to the Servicer by the Class CE Certificateholder, and shall
be conducted at the Class CE Certificateholder's expense. The review is intended
to benefit the Servicer, as well as to assist the Class CE Certificateholder in
adjusting its monitoring approach to fit the default procedures in place. The
Class CE Certificateholder will conduct such review and evaluation during normal
business hours and use its best efforts to cause the least practicable
interruption to the Servicer's business. During the course of the on-site
evaluation, the Servicer will make available to the Class CE Certificateholder
access to the Servicer's policies and procedures regarding the management and
liquidation of defaulted Mortgage Loans. The written findings of such review and
evaluation will be presented to the Servicer for review and comment. Other than
a comfort letter to the Depositor summarizing the review and evaluation of the
Servicer, the Class CE Certificateholder will not divulge the written findings
of such review to any party without the prior written consent of the Servicer.

                  SECTION 12.02. Class CE Certificateholder's Directions With
                                 Respect to Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

                  (a) All parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the Class
CE Certificateholder's advice is made in the form of directions, and that the
Class CE Certificateholder has the right to direct the Servicer in performing
its duties under this Agreement. The Servicer must accept such advice, subject
to the duties of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement.

                  (b) The Class CE Certificateholder may provide the Servicer
with advice regarding the management of specific defaulted Mortgage Loans. Such
advice may be made in writing, in the form of electronic mail. The advice
provided to the Servicer may be based on observations made in conjunction with
the data provided pursuant to the Section 2.01 of this Agreement, or in
conjunction with the Class CE Certificateholder's periodic review of the
Servicer's operations. The advice may include comparable analysis of the
performance of the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund with similar mortgage loans
serviced by other mortgage loan servicers. Such advice also may take the form of
benchmark comparisons that identify and interpret the Servicer's strengths and
weaknesses relative to similar, unidentified servicers in the industry.

                  (c) In all cases where the Class CE Certificateholder makes
directions to the Servicer, the Class CE Certificateholder will protect the
confidentiality of the Servicer and other servicers in the industry whose work
is monitored by the Class CE Certificateholder. Under no circumstances will the
Class CE Certificateholder divulge any materials confidential of the Servicer,
whether a party to this Agreement or not, or the details of any Servicer's
proprietary system or approaches.

                  (d) All advice offered to the Servicer by the Class CE
Certificateholder will be kept confidential by the Class CE Certificateholder,
except as disclosed as a finding in the Class CE Certificateholder's review and
evaluation of the Servicer, as discussed in Section 12.01 (e), or in reports to
the Depositor.

                  (e) The Servicer's obligations under this Article XII shall
terminate upon the termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01.

                  (f) Neither the Servicer nor the Class CE Certificateholder
nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be
under any liability for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of
any action in good faith pursuant to this Article XII or for errors in judgment;
provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or the
Class CE Certificateholder or any such Person against any liability which would
otherwise be imposed by reason of willful malfeasance or bad faith. The Servicer
and the Class CE Certificateholder and any director, officer, employee or agent
thereof 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.

                  (g) The Servicer or the Class CE Certificateholder, as
applicable, ("Indemnitor") shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other
("Indemnitee") and its officers, directors, agents and employees from and
against all claims, losses, expenses, fees (including attorneys' and expert
witnesses' fees), costs and judgments involving the rights and obligations of
this Article XII that may be asserted against Indemnitee (a) that result from
the acts or omissions of the Indemnitor, or (b) result from third party claims
of intellectual property infringement.

                  (h) The Class CE Certificateholder agrees that all information
supplied by or on behalf of the Servicer shall be used by the Class CE
Certificateholder only for the benefit of the Certificateholders of the Trust
Fund. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Class CE
Certificateholder shall be entitled to retain all records or other information
supplied to Class CE Certificateholder pursuant to this Agreement.

may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or
certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

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

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

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

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

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date.

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

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

hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Certificates designated as Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series
specified on the face hereof (herein called the "Certificates") and representing
a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof
equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates specified on the face
hereof.

                  The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account

Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

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

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

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date.

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

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

Certificates designated as Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series
specified on the face hereof (herein called the "Certificates") and representing
a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof
equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates specified on the face
hereof.

                  The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the

without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests
specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain

of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection

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

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date.

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

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

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

of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

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

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date.

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

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

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

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

                  The Pass-Through Rate applicable to the calculation of
interest payable with respect to this Certificate on any Distribution Date shall
equal a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the related Formula Rate for
such Distribution Date and (ii) the related Net WAC Pass-Through Rate for such
Distribution Date.

                  This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of
Certificates designated as Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series
specified on the face hereof (herein called the "Certificates") and representing
a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof
equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates specified on the face
hereof.

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

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

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

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

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

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date.

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

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

of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date.

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

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

remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all

Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date.

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

executed by the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date.

entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests
specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new

of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

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

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date.

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

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

Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the

Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date.

entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

Certificates designated as Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series
specified on the face hereof (herein called the "Certificates") and representing

Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

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

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

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date.

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

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

Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In
the event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without
registration or qualification, the Trustee shall require receipt of written
certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the
transfer, and from such Holder's prospective transferee, substantially in the
forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit F-1. None of the Depositor or the
Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified

Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection

The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date.

entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account

                  The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all

Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

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

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

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

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

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date.

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

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

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

                  Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be
made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day,
the Business Day immediately following (a "Distribution Date"), commencing on

Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount equal to the product
of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required
to be distributed to the Holders of Class R Certificates on such Distribution

                  All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the
Agreement will be made or caused to be made by the Trustee by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if
such Person shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business
Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date or
otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person

Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made after due notice by the Trustee of the pendency of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the
office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose as provided in the
Agreement.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                  The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date.

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

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

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

behalf of Carrington Mortgage Loan Trust, Series 2005-OPT2, under a Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2005, among the Depositor, the Servicer

to have the Custodian take possession of the Mortgages and Mortgage Notes, along

                  NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual undertakings
herein expressed, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

                  1. DEFINITIONS.

                  Any capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have
the meanings ascribed to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

                  2. DELIVERY OF CUSTODIAL FILES.

                  The Depositor has delivered and released, or will cause to be
delivered and released, to the Custodian on or prior to the Closing Date the
following documents pertaining to each of the Mortgage Loans identified in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule (the "Custodial File"):

                  (i) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed in blank or in the
following form: "Pay to the order of Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as
Trustee under the applicable agreement, without recourse," with all prior and
intervening endorsements showing a complete chain of endorsement from the
originator to the Person so endorsing to the Trustee;

                  (ii) the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon,
and the original recorded power of attorney, if the Mortgage was executed
pursuant to a power of attorney, with evidence of recording thereon;

                  (iii) an original Assignment in blank;

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

                  (v) the original or copies of each assumption, modification,
written assurance or substitution agreement, if any; and

                  (vi) the original lender's title insurance policy, together
with all endorsements or riders that were issued with or subsequent to the
issuance of such policy, insuring the priority of the Mortgage as a first or
second lien on the Mortgaged Property represented therein as a fee interest
vested in the Mortgagor, or in the event such original title policy is
unavailable, a written commitment or uniform binder or preliminary report of
title issued by the title insurance or escrow company.

                  With respect to a maximum of approximately 2.00% of the
Mortgage Loans, by outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as
of the Cut-off Date, if any original Mortgage Note referred to in Section 2(i)
above cannot be located, the obligations of the Depositor to deliver such
documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon delivery to the Custodian of a
photocopy of such Mortgage Note, if available, with a lost note affidavit
substantially in the form of Exhibit H attached to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. If any of the original Mortgage Notes for which a lost note affidavit
was delivered to the Custodian is subsequently located, such original Mortgage
Note shall be delivered to the Custodian within three Business Days.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Assignments of Mortgage
shall not be required to be submitted for recording (except with respect to any
Mortgage Loan located in Maryland and Florida) unless the Depositor is informed
by the Rating Agencies that such failure to record would result in a withdrawal
or a downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of
Certificates; provided, however, each Assignment shall be submitted in the
manner described above, at no expense to the Trust Fund or the Trustee, upon the
earliest to occur of: (i) reasonable direction by the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights, (ii) the occurrence of a Servicer
Event of Default, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or
foreclosure relating to the Originator, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing
transfer as described in Section 7.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
(v) upon receipt of notice from the Servicer, the occurrence of a bankruptcy,
insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage
and (vi) upon receipt of notice from the Servicer, any Mortgage Loan that is 90
days or more delinquent. Upon the occurrence of one of the events set forth in
the immediately preceding sentence, the Depositor shall (a) give prompt written
notice to the Custodian of such event and (b) at the expense of the Originator,
deliver such Assignments for recording as provided above, promptly and in any
event within 30 days following receipt of notice by the Servicer.

or (iv) above has, as of the Closing Date, been submitted for recording but
either (x) has not been returned from the applicable public recording office or
(y) has been lost or such public recording office has retained the original of

be deemed to be satisfied upon (1) delivery to the Custodian of a copy of each
such document certified by the Originator in the case of (x) above or the
applicable public recording office in the case of (y) above to be a true and
complete copy of the original that was submitted for recording and (2) if such

                  All original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans that are
not delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian are and shall be held by or on
behalf of the Originator, the Seller, the Depositor or the Servicer, as the case
may be, in trust for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders. In the event that any such original document is required
pursuant to the terms of this Section 2 to be a part of a Custodial File, such
document shall be delivered promptly to the Custodian. Any such original
document delivered to or held by the Depositor that is not required pursuant to
the terms of this Section to be a part of a Custodial File, shall be delivered
promptly to the Servicer.

                  The Custodian hereby agrees to its duties under Section 2.03
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans.

                  3.       CUSTODIAN'S RECEIPT, EXAMINATION AND CERTIFICATION OF
                           CUSTODIAL FILES; INITIAL TRUST RECEIPT DELIVERED BY
                           THE CUSTODIAN.

                  The Custodian agrees, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, to review each Custodial File on or before the Closing Date
and to certify in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (the
"Trust Receipt and Initial Certification") 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 the exception report annexed thereto as
not being covered by such certification), (i) all documents required to be
delivered to it pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement are in its possession,
(ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and have not been mutilated,
damaged or torn and appear on their face to relate to such Mortgage Loan and
(iii) based on the Custodian's examination and only as to the foregoing, the
Mortgagor's Name and the street address and city of the Mortgaged Property, and
the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to
items (i), (iii), (xii), (xv) and (xix) of the definition of "Mortgage Loan
Schedule" in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement accurately reflects information
set forth in the Custodial File. It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting
such review, the Custodian was not under any duty or obligation (i) to inspect,
review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers
to determine whether they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the
represented purpose or whether they have actually been recorded or that they are
other than what they purport to be on their face or (ii) to determine whether
any Custodial File should include any of the documents specified in clause (e)
of Section 2.

                  4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE CUSTODIAN.

                  With respect to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and the
Assignment and other documents constituting each Custodial File which is
delivered to the Custodian or which come into the possession of the Custodian,
the Custodian is the custodian for the Trustee, on behalf of the
Certificateholders exclusively. The Custodian shall hold all mortgage documents
received by it constituting the Custodial File for the exclusive use and benefit
of the Trustee, and shall make disposition thereof only in accordance with this
Agreement and the instructions furnished by the Trustee. The Custodian shall
segregate and maintain continuous custody of all mortgage documents constituting
the Custodial File in secure and fire-resistant facilities in accordance with
customary standards for such custody. The Custodian shall not be responsible to
verify (i) the validity, legality, enforceability, sufficiency, due
authorization or genuineness of any document in each Custodial File or of any of
the Mortgage Loans or (ii) the collectability, insurability, effectiveness or
suitability of any Mortgage Loan. The Custodian shall not execute any
endorsements on the Mortgage Notes and Assignments of Mortgages without the
prior written consent of the Trustee, except as otherwise set forth in Section 2
of this Agreement or as otherwise agreed to between the Trustee and the
Custodian.

                  The Custodian shall, at the written request of the Trustee,
provide a written report to the Trustee of all Custodial Files released to the
Servicer for servicing purposes.

                  5. FINAL TRUST RECEIPT.

                  Within one (1) year after the Closing Date, the Custodian
shall review each Custodial File, and shall deliver to the Trustee (with a copy
to the Depositor and the Servicer), a Final Trust Receipt attached hereto as
Exhibit 2 to the effect that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed on the Mortgage
Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan (i) paid in full, or (ii)
specifically identified on such Final Trust Receipt as not covered by such Final
Trust Receipt): (i) all documents required to be delivered to it pursuant to
paragraphs (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (vi) and to the extent provided in the
Custodial Files paragraph (v) of Section 2 of this Agreement 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 the Custodian's
examination and only as to the foregoing, the Mortgagor's Name and the street
address and city of the Mortgaged Property, and the information set forth in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items (i), (iii), (xii), (xv) and
(xix) of the definition of "Mortgage Loan Schedule" in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement accurately reflects information set forth in the Custodial File.; and
(iv) each Mortgage Note has been endorsed as provided in Section 2 of this
Agreement and each Mortgage has been assigned in accordance with Section 2 of
this Agreement.

                  6. FUTURE DEFECTS.

                  During the term of this Agreement, if the Custodian discovers
any defect with respect to the Custodial File, the Custodian shall give written
specification of such defect to the Servicer and the Trustee.

                  7. RELEASE FOR SERVICING.

                  From time to time and as appropriate for the foreclosure or
servicing of any of the Mortgage Loans, the Custodian shall, upon receipt of two
copies (or electronic receipt from the Servicer in a form acceptable to the
Custodian) of a Request for Release of Documents and receipt in the form annexed
hereto as Exhibit 3, release to the Servicer, the related Custodial File. The
Servicer shall return to the Custodian the Custodial File when the Servicer's
need therefor in connection with such foreclosure or servicing no longer exists,
unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated in which case, upon receipt of an
additional Request for Release of Documents and receipt certifying such
liquidation in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit 3, the request and receipt
submitted pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 7 shall be released by
the Custodian to the Servicer.

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

                  8. RELEASE FOR PAYMENT.

                  Upon receipt by the Custodian of two copies (or electronic
receipt from the Servicer in a form acceptable to the Custodian) of the
Servicer's Request for Release of Documents and receipt in the form annexed
hereto as Exhibit 3 (which certification shall include a statement to the effect
that all amounts received in connection with such payment, repurchase or
liquidation have been credited to the related custodial account), the Custodian
shall promptly release the related Custodial File to the Servicer.

                  9. FEES AND EXPENSES OF CUSTODIAN.

                  In accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the Custodian's fees in connection herewith shall be paid by the
Trustee out of a portion of the Trustee Fee payable to the Trustee, as set forth
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. By each Determination Date, the
Custodian shall notify the Trustee of the amount of fees and expenses owed to
the Custodian with respect to the related Distribution Date. The payment of
expenses and any other amounts owed to the Custodian in excess of those payable
by the Trustee shall be the obligation of the Trust Fund and shall be payable by
the Trustee to the Custodian from amounts in the Distribution Account.
10. Removal of Custodian.

                  The Trustee or Depositor, with or without cause, may upon at
least 60 days' notice remove and discharge the Custodian from the performance of
its duties under this Agreement by written notice from the Trustee to the
Custodian, with a copy to the Servicer. Having given notice of such removal, the
Trustee or the Depositor promptly shall appoint (with the consent of the
Servicer, which shall not unreasonably be withheld) a successor Custodian to act
on behalf of the Trustee by written instrument, one original counterpart of
which instrument shall be retained by the Trustee, with a copy to the Servicer,
and an original to the successor Custodian. In the event of any such removal,
the Custodian shall, upon the Trustee's surrender of the Trust Receipt and
Initial Certifications and Final Trust Receipt, as applicable, promptly transfer
to the successor Custodian, as directed, all Custodial Files being administered
under this Agreement. In the event of any such removal and appointment, the
Trustee and the Trust Fund shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of the
existing Custodian that are accrued and unpaid as set forth in Section 9. The
Trust Fund shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of the successor
Custodian.

                  11. TRANSFER OF CUSTODIAL FILES.

                  Upon the Custodian's receipt of two (2) Business Days' written
or electronic notification from the Trustee (or such timeframe as the parties
may mutually agree), the Custodian shall release to such persons as the Trustee
shall designate all or a portion of the Custodial Files relating to the Mortgage
Loans subject to the Trust Receipt and Initial Certification or Final Trust
Receipt, as applicable.

                  12. EXAMINATION OF CUSTODIAL FILES.

                  Upon reasonable prior written notice to the Custodian but not
less than two (2) Business Days notice, the Trustee and its agents, accountants,
attorneys and auditors will be permitted during normal business hours to examine
the Custodial Files, documents, records and other papers in the possession of or
under the control of the Custodian relating to any or all of the Mortgage Loans
at the expense of the Trustee.

                  13. INSURANCE OF CUSTODIAN.

                  At its own expense, the Custodian shall maintain at all times
during the existence of this Agreement and keep in full force and effect such
insurance in amounts, with standard coverage and subject to deductibles, all as
is customary for insurance typically maintained by banks which act as Custodian.
The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policies shall be at
least equal to the corresponding amounts required by Fannie Mae in the Fannie
Mae Servicing Guide or by Freddie Mac in the Freddie Mac Sellers' & Servicers'
Guide. Upon request, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive evidence
satisfactory to the Trustee that such insurance is in full force and effect.

                  14. COUNTERPARTS.

                  For the purpose of facilitating the execution 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 and be one and the same instrument.

                  15. PERIODIC STATEMENTS.

                  Upon the written request of the Trustee, the Custodian shall
provide to the Trustee a list of all the Mortgage Loans for which the Custodian
holds a Custodial File pursuant to this Agreement. Such list may be in the form
of a copy of the Mortgage Loan Schedule with manual deletions to specifically
denote any Mortgage Loans paid off, repurchased or sold since the date of this
Agreement.

                  16. GOVERNING LAW.

                  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS, AND REMEDIES OF THE
PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

                  17. COPIES OF MORTGAGE DOCUMENTS.

                  Upon the written request of the Trustee and at the cost and
expense of the Depositor, the Custodian shall provide the Trustee with copies of
the Mortgage Notes, Mortgages, Assignments and other documents relating to one
or more of the Mortgage Loans.

                  18. NO ADVERSE INTEREST OF CUSTODIAN.

                  By execution of this Agreement, the Custodian represents and
warrants that it currently holds, and during the existence of this Agreement
shall hold, no interest adverse to the Trustee, by way of security or otherwise,
in any Mortgage Loan, and hereby waives and releases any such interest which it
may have in any Mortgage Loan as of the date hereof.

                  19. TERMINATION BY CUSTODIAN.

                  The Custodian may terminate its obligations under this
Agreement upon at least sixty (60) days' prior notice to the Servicer and the
Trustee. In the event of such termination, the Trustee or the Depositor (with
the consent of the Servicer, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) shall
appoint a successor Custodian. The payment of the existing Custodian's fees and
expenses shall be solely the responsibility of the Trustee and the Trust Fund as
set forth in Section 9. The Trust Fund shall be responsible for the fees and
expenses of the successor Custodian. Upon such appointment, the Custodian shall
promptly transfer to the successor Custodian, as directed, all Custodial Files
being administered under this Agreement.

                  20. TERM OF AGREEMENT.

                  Unless terminated pursuant to Section 10 or Section 19 hereof,
this Agreement shall terminate upon the final payment or other liquidation (or
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or the disposition of
all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any
Mortgage Loan, and the final remittance of all funds due under the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. In such event all documents remaining in the Custodial
Files shall be released in accordance with the written instructions of the
Trustee (acting in accordance with the instructions of the Depositor).

                  21. NOTICES.

                  23. INDEMNIFICATION OF CUSTODIAN.

                  The Custodian and its directors, officers, agents and
employees shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements, including reasonable attorney's fees, that may
be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against it or them directly relating to
or arising out of this Custodial Agreement or any action taken or not taken by
it or them hereunder unless such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements were
imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Custodian because of the breach
by the Custodian of its obligations hereunder, which breach was caused by
negligence, lack of good faith or willful misconduct on the part of the
Custodian or any of its directors, officers, agents or employees. The
indemnification set forth in this section shall survive any termination or
assignment of this Custodial Agreement and the termination or removal of the
Custodian.

                  The Custodian agrees to indemnify and hold the Trust Fund
harmless against liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements, including reasonable
attorney's fees, that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against them
directly relating to or arising out of a failure to produce a Mortgage Note,
Assignment or any other document related to a Mortgage Loan that was in its
possession pursuant to Section 2 within two (2) Business Days after required or
requested by the Trustee, and provided, that (i) Custodian previously delivered
to the Trustee a Trust Receipt and Initial Certification with respect to such
document (other than any Mortgage Loan identified in the exception report
annexed thereto as not covered by such certification); (ii) such document is not
outstanding pursuant to a Request for Release; and (iii) such document was held
by the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee. In no event shall the Custodian or
its directors, officers, agents and employees be liable for any special,
indirect or consequential damages from any action taken or omitted to be taken
by it or them hereunder or in connection herewith even if advised of the
possibility of such damages. The foregoing indemnification shall survive any
termination or assignment of this Agreement or the removal or resignation of the
Custodian hereunder. It is hereby understood that the Trustee shall not be
liable for the acts or omissions of the Custodian.

                  24. RELIANCE OF CUSTODIAN.

                  (i) The Custodian may conclusively rely, as to the truth of
the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any
request, instructions, certificate, opinion or other document furnished to the
Custodian, reasonably believed by the Custodian to be genuine and to have been
signed or presented by the proper party or parties and conforming to the
requirements of this Agreement; but in the case of any loan document or other
request, instruction, document or certificate which by any provision hereof is
specifically required to be furnished to the Custodian, the Custodian shall be
under a duty to examine the same to determine, subject to the limitations on the
Custodian's obligations set forth herein, whether or not it conforms to the
requirements of this Agreement.

                  (ii) The Custodian shall have no duties or responsibilities
except those that are specifically set forth in this Agreement. The Custodian
shall have no responsibility nor duty with respect to any Custodial File while
such Custodial File is not in its possession. If the Custodian requests
instructions from the Trustee with respect to any act, action or failure to act
in connection with this Agreement, the Custodian shall be entitled to refrain
from taking such action and continue to refrain from acting unless and until the
Custodian shall have received written instructions from the Trustee with respect
to a Custodial File without incurring any liability therefor to the Trustee or
any other Person.

                  (iii) Other than as provided herein, neither the Custodian nor
any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any
action or omission to act hereunder except for its or their own negligence or
lack of good faith or willful misconduct. In no event shall the Custodian or any
of its directors, officers, agents or employees have any responsibility to
ascertain or take action except as expressly provided herein. (iv) Neither the
Custodian nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be
liable for any action taken or not taken by it in good faith in the performance
of its obligations under this Agreement. The obligations of the Custodian or any
of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be determined solely by
the express provisions of this Agreement. No representation, warranty, covenant,
agreement, obligation or duty of the Custodian or any of its directors,
officers, agents or employees shall be implied with respect to this Agreement or
the Custodian's services hereunder.

                  (v) The Custodian, its directors, officers, agents and
employees shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine the
Custodial Files to determine that the contents thereof are genuine, enforceable
or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have been actually
recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.

                  (vi) The Custodian may consult with counsel selected by the
Custodian with regard to legal questions arising out of or in connection with
this Agreement, and the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and
complete authorization and protection in respect of any action reasonably taken,
omitted or suffered by the Custodian in good faith and in accordance therewith.

                  (vii) No provision of this Agreement shall require the
Custodian to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability
(other than expenses or liabilities otherwise required to be incurred by the
express terms of this Agreement) in the performance of its duties under this
Agreement if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of
such funds or adequate indemnity is not reasonably assured to it.

                  (viii) Any corporation into which the Custodian 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 Custodian shall be a
party, or any corporation succeeding to the business of the Custodian shall be
the successor of the Custodian hereunder without the execution or filing of any
paper with any party hereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties
hereto except where an instrument of transfer or assignment is required by law
to effect such succession, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

                  25. TRANSMISSION OF CUSTODIAL FILES.

                  Written or electronic instructions as to the method of
shipment and shipper(s) the Custodian is directed to utilize in connection with
transmission of mortgage files and loan documents in the performance of the
Custodian's duties hereunder shall be delivered by the Servicer (a "Requesting
Party"), to the Custodian prior to any shipment of any mortgage files and loan
documents hereunder. The Requesting Party will arrange for the provision of such
services at its sole cost and expense (or, at the Custodian's option, reimburse
the Custodian for all costs and expenses incurred by the Custodian consistent
with such instructions) and will maintain such insurance against loss or damage
to mortgage files and loan documents as the Requesting Party deems appropriate.
Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 23 above, it is
expressly agreed that in no event shall the Custodian have any liability for any
losses or damages to any person, including without limitation, any Requesting
Party, arising out of actions of the Custodian consistent with instructions of
the Requesting Party.

                  26. AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES.

                  Each individual designated as an authorized representative of
the Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian, respectively (an "Authorized
Representative"), is authorized to give and receive notices, requests and
instructions and to deliver certificates and documents in connection with this
Agreement on behalf of the Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian, as the case
may be, and the specimen signature for each such Authorized Representative of
the Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian, initially authorized hereunder, as
set forth on Exhibit 4, Exhibit 5 and Exhibit 6 hereof, respectively. From time
to time the parties hereto may, by delivering to each other a revised exhibit,
change the information previously given pursuant to this Section 26, but each of
the parties hereto shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the then current
exhibit until receipt of a superseding exhibit.

                  27. REPRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS.

                  This Custodial Agreement and all documents relating thereto
except with respect to the Custodial File, including, without limitation, (a)
consents, waivers and modifications which may hereafter be executed, and (b)
certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished, may be
reproduced by any photographic, photostatic, microfilm, microcard, miniature
photographic or other similar process. The parties agree that any such
reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any
judicial or administrative proceeding, whether or not the original is in
existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by a party in the
regular course of business, and that any enlargement, facsimile or further
reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence.

                  28. AMENDMENT.

                  This Custodial Agreement may be amended from time to time by
written agreement signed by the Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian.

                    FORM OF MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT

<PAGE>

                        MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT

                  This is a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (this "Agreement"),
dated May 3, 2005, among Option One Mortgage Corporation, a California
corporation (the "Responsible Party"), Stanwich Asset Acceptance Company,
L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the "Seller") and Citigroup
Mortgage Loan Trust Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Purchaser").

                              Preliminary Statement
                              ---------------------

                  The Seller intends to sell the Mortgage Loans (as hereinafter
identified) to the Purchaser on the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in this Agreement. The Purchaser intends to deposit the Mortgage Loans
into a mortgage pool comprising the Trust Fund. The Trust Fund will be evidenced
by a single series of mortgage pass-through certificates designated as Series
2005-OPT2 (the "Certificates"). The Certificates will consist of eighteen
classes of certificates and will be issued pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2005 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"),
among the Depositor as depositor, Option One Mortgage Corporation as servicer
(the "Servicer") and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company as trustee (the
"Trustee"). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the
meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

                  The parties hereto agree as follows:

                  SECTION 1 AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE. The Seller agrees to sell and
the Purchaser agrees to purchase, on or before May 5, 2005 (the "Closing Date"),
certain fixed-rate and adjustable-rate conventional, one- to four-family, first
lien and second lien, residential mortgage loans purchased by the Seller from
the Responsible Party (the "Mortgage Loans"), having an aggregate principal
balance as of the close of business on May 1, 2005, (the "Cut-off Date") of
$1,492,739,493 (the "Closing Balance"), after giving effect to all payments due
on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date, whether or not received
including the right to any Prepayment Charges payable by the related Mortgagors
in connection with any Principal Prepayments on the Mortgage Loans, on a
Responsible Party servicing-retained basis.

                  SECTION 2 MORTGAGE LOAN SCHEDULE. The Purchaser and the Seller
have agreed upon which of the Mortgage Loans are to be purchased by the
Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and the Seller will prepare or cause to be
prepared on or prior to the Closing Date a final schedule (the "Closing
Schedule") that shall describe such Mortgage Loans and set forth all of the
Mortgage Loans to be purchased under this Agreement, including the Prepayment
Charges. The Closing Schedule will conform to the requirements set forth in this
Agreement and, with respect to the Mortgage Loans subject to this Agreement, to
the definition of "Mortgage Loan Schedule" under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. The Closing Schedule shall be used as part of the Mortgage Loan
Schedule under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and shall be based on
information provided by the Responsible Party.

                  SECTION 3 CONSIDERATION.

                  (a) In consideration for the Mortgage Loans to be purchased
hereunder, the Purchaser shall, as described in Section 8, pay to or upon the
order of the Seller in immediately available funds an amount (the "Purchase
Price") equal to (i) the net sale proceeds of the Certificates and (ii) the
Class M-9 Certificates, the Class CE Certificates, the Class P Certificates and
the Residual Certificates.

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

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

                  SECTION 4 TRANSFER OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS AND THE CAP CONTRACT.

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

                  (b) SALE AND ASSIGNMENT. The Seller, concurrently with the
execution and delivery of this Agreement does hereby sell, and in connection
therewith hereby assigns to the Purchaser, effective as of the Closing Date,
without recourse , (i) all of its right, title and interest in the Cap Contract,
dated May 5, 2005 and (ii) all proceeds of the foregoing.

                  (c) DELIVERY OF MORTGAGE LOAN DOCUMENTS. The Seller will, on
or prior to the Closing Date, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser
or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser each of the following
documents for each Mortgage Loan:

                  (i) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed in blank or in the
         following form "Pay to the order of Deutsche Bank National Trust
         Company, as Trustee under the applicable agreement, without recourse,"
         with all prior and intervening endorsements showing a complete chain of
         endorsement from the originator to the Person so endorsing to the
         Trustee;

                  (ii) the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon,
         and the original recorded power of attorney, if the Mortgage was
         executed pursuant to a power of attorney, with evidence of recording
         thereon;

                  (iii) an original Assignment in blank;

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

                  (v) the original or copies of each assumption, modification or
         substitution agreement, if any; and

                  (vi) the original lender's title insurance policy or, if the
         original title policy has not been issued, the irrevocable commitment
         to issue the same.

                  With respect to a maximum of approximately 2.0% of the
Original Mortgage Loans, by outstanding principal balance of the Original
Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, if any original Mortgage Note referred to
in Section 2(b)(i) above cannot be located, the obligations of the Seller to
deliver such documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon delivery to the
Purchaser of a photocopy of such Mortgage Note, if available, with a lost note
affidavit substantially in the form of Exhibit I attached to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. If any of the original Mortgage Notes for which a lost note
affidavit was delivered to the Purchaser is subsequently located, such original
Mortgage Note shall be delivered to the Purchaser within three Business Days.

                  If any of the documents referred to in Sections 4(b)(ii),
(iii) or (iv) above has, as of the Closing Date, been submitted for recording
but either (x) has not been returned from the applicable public recording office
or (y) has been lost or such public recording office has retained the original
of such document, the obligations of the Seller to deliver such documents shall
be deemed to be satisfied upon (1) delivery to the Purchaser of a copy of each
such document certified by the Responsible Party in the case of (x) above or the
applicable public recording office in the case of (y) above to be a true and
complete copy of the original that was submitted for recording and (2) if such
copy is certified by the Responsible Party, delivery to the Purchaser promptly
upon receipt thereof of either the original or a copy of such document certified
by the applicable public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the
original. Notice shall be provided to the Purchaser, the Trustee and the Rating
Agencies by the Seller if delivery pursuant to clause (2) above will be made
more than 180 days after the Closing Date. If the original lender's title
insurance policy was not delivered pursuant to Section 4(b)(vi) above, the
Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser, promptly after
receipt thereof, the original lender's title insurance policy. The Seller shall
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser promptly upon receipt thereof
any other original documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received
with respect to any Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, any original
documents evidencing an assumption or modification of any Mortgage Loan.

                  The Seller shall (at the expense of the Responsible Party)
promptly (within sixty Business Days following the later of the Closing Date and
the date of receipt by the Seller of the recording information for a Mortgage,
but in no event later than ninety days following the Closing Date) submit or
cause to be submitted for recording, at no expense to the Trust Fund, the
Trustee or the Purchaser, in the appropriate public office for real property
records, each Assignment referred to in Sections 4(b)(iii) and (iv) above and
the Seller shall execute each original Assignment or cause each original
Assignment to be executed in the following form: "Deutsche Bank National Trust
Company, as Trustee under the applicable agreement." In the event that any such
Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the
Seller shall promptly prepare or cause to be prepared a substitute Assignment or
cure or cause to be cured such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter cause
each such Assignment to be duly recorded.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, for administrative
convenience and facilitation of servicing and to reduce closing costs, the
Assignments shall not be required to be submitted for recording (except with
respect to any Mortgage Loan located in Maryland) unless the Trustee or the
Purchaser receives notice that such failure to record would result in a
withdrawal or a downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of
Certificates; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the Seller shall submit or cause to be
submitted each Assignment for recording in the manner described above, at the
expense of the Responsible Party and at no expense to the Trust Fund or the
Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of: (i) written direction by Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights, (ii) the occurrence
of a Servicer Event of Default, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency
or foreclosure relating to the Servicer, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing
transfer as described in Section 7.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
(v) with respect to any one Assignment, the occurrence of a bankruptcy,
insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage
and (vi) any Mortgage Loan that is 90 days or more Delinquent. Upon receipt of
written notice that recording of the Assignments is required pursuant to one or
more of the conditions set forth in the preceding sentence, the Seller shall be
required to deliver such Assignments or shall cause such Assignments to be
delivered within 30 days following receipt of such notice.

                  Each original document relating to a Mortgage Loan which is
not delivered to the Purchaser or its assignee, transferee or designee, if held
by the Seller, shall be so held for the benefit of the Purchaser, its assignee,
transferee or designee.

                  (d) ACCEPTANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS. The documents delivered
pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof shall be reviewed by the Purchaser or any
assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser at any time before or after
the Closing Date (and with respect to each document permitted to be delivered
after the Closing Date, within seven days of its delivery) to ascertain that all
required documents have been executed and received and that such documents
relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.

                  (e) TRANSFER OF INTEREST IN AGREEMENTS. The Purchaser has the
right to assign its interest under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to the
Trustee, as may be required to effect the purposes of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, without the consent of the Seller or the Responsible Party, and the
assignee shall succeed to the rights and obligations hereunder of the Purchaser.
Any expense reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Purchaser or the Trustee
in connection with enforcing any obligations of the Seller or the Responsible
Party under this Agreement will be promptly reimbursed by the Seller or the
Responsible Party, as applicable.

                  (f) EXAMINATION OF MORTGAGE FILES. Prior to the Closing Date,
the Seller shall either (i) deliver in escrow to the Purchaser, or to any
assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser for examination, the Mortgage
File pertaining to each Mortgage Loan or (ii) make such Mortgage Files available
to the Purchaser or to any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser for
examination. Such examination may be made by the Purchaser or the Trustee, and
their respective designees, upon reasonable notice to the Seller during normal
business hours before the Closing Date and within 60 days after the Closing
Date. If any such person makes such examination prior to the Closing Date and
identifies any Mortgage Loans that do not conform to the requirements of the
Purchaser as described in this Agreement, such Mortgage Loans shall be deleted
from the Closing Schedule. The Purchaser may, at its option and without notice
to the Seller, purchase all or part of the Mortgage Loans without conducting any
partial or complete examination. The fact that the Purchaser or any person has
conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the
Mortgage Files shall not affect the rights of the Purchaser or any assignee,
transferee or designee of the Purchaser to demand repurchase or other relief as
provided herein or under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

         covenant of the Responsible Party contained in this Agreement;

                  (vi) There are no actions or proceedings against, or

                  (ix) Neither this Agreement nor any written statement, report
         or other document prepared and furnished by the Responsible Party

         all covenants and obligations thereunder.

                  (b) The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the
Responsible Party and the Purchaser, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing
Date, and covenants, that:

                  (i) The Seller is duly organized, validly existing and in good

         it in accordance with its terms except as the enforceability thereof
         may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization;

         constitute and will not constitute a default (or an event, which with
         notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under (A)
         any terms or provisions of the certificate of formation or limited
         liability company agreement of the Seller, (B) any term or provision of

         any lien, charge or encumbrance which would have a material adverse
         effect upon the Mortgage Loans or any documents or instruments
         evidencing or securing the Mortgage Loans;

                  (iv) No consent, approval, authorization or order of,
         registration or filing with, or notice on behalf of the Seller to any
         governmental authority or court is required, under federal laws or the
         laws of the State of Delaware, for the execution, delivery and
         performance by the Seller of, or compliance by the Seller with, this

         delivery of this Agreement by the Seller and its performance and
         compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not constitute a
         violation with respect to, any order or decree of any court or any
         order or regulation of any federal, state, municipal or governmental
         agency having jurisdiction over the Seller or its assets, which
         violation might have consequences that would materially and adversely
         affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or the operation of the
         Seller or its assets or might have consequences that would materially
         and adversely affect the performance of its obligations and duties
         hereunder;

                  (vii) The Seller does not believe, nor does it have any reason
         or cause to believe, that it cannot perform each and every covenant
         contained in this Agreement;

                  (viii) Immediately prior to the sale of the Mortgage Loans to
         the Purchaser as herein contemplated, the Seller will be the owner of
         the related Mortgage and the indebtedness evidenced by the related
         Mortgage Note, and, upon the payment to the Seller of the Purchase
         Price, in the event that the Seller retains or has retained record
         title, the Seller shall retain such record title to each Mortgage, each
         related Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage Files with respect
         thereto in trust for the Purchaser as the owner thereof from and after
         the date hereof;

                  (ix) There are no actions or proceedings against, or
         investigations known to it of, the Seller before any court,
         administrative or other tribunal (A) that might prohibit its entering
         into this Agreement, (B) seeking to prevent the sale of the Mortgage
         Loans by the Seller or the consummation of the transactions
         contemplated by this Agreement or (C) that might prohibit or materially
         and adversely affect the performance by the Seller of its obligations
         under, or validity or enforceability of, this Agreement;

                  (x) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
         Agreement are in the ordinary course of business of the Seller, and the
         transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Mortgage Notes and the
         Mortgages by the Seller are not subject to the bulk transfer or any
         similar statutory provisions;

                  (xi) The Seller has not dealt with any broker, investment
         banker, agent or other person, except for the Purchaser or any of its
         affiliates, that may be entitled to any commission or compensation in
         connection with the sale of the Mortgage Loans;

                  (xii) There is no litigation currently pending or, to the best
         of the Seller's knowledge without independent investigation, threatened
         against the Seller that would reasonably be expected to adversely
         affect the transfer of the Mortgage Loans, the issuance of the
         Certificates or the execution, delivery, performance or enforceability
         of this Agreement, or that would result in a material adverse change in
         the financial condition of the Seller;

                  (xiii) The Seller is solvent and will not be rendered
         insolvent by the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

         hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors;

                  (xiv) With respect to the Responsible Party's representations
         and warranties set forth in Section 6(1), (4), (16), (19) and (25)
         nothing has occurred since the Whole Loan Sale Date (as defined below)
         which would cause such representation and warranty to be untrue in any
         material respect as of the Closing Date; and

                  (xv) The Seller makes each of the additional representations
         and warranties set forth on Schedule I hereto.

                  SECTION 6 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE RESPONSIBLE
                            PARTY RELATING TO THE MORTGAGE LOANS.

                  The Responsible Party hereby represents and warrants to the
Seller and the Purchaser that as to each Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date or
as of such other date as specified herein:

                  (1) The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule
         (as such term is defined the Whole Loan Agreement) is complete, true
         and correct as of the date that the Responsible Party sold such
         Mortgage Loan to the Seller (the "Whole Loan Sale Date");

                  (2) The Mortgage Loan is in compliance with all requirements
         set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, and the characteristics of the
         related Mortgage Loan as set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule are
         true and correct; provided, however, that in the event of any conflict
         between the terms (i.e. terms contradict each other, as opposed to
         containing non-contradictory additional terms) of the Mortgage Loan
         Schedule and this Agreement, this Agreement shall control;

                  (3) Each document or instrument in the related Mortgage File
         is in a form generally acceptable to prudent mortgage lenders that
         regularly originate or purchase mortgage loans comparable to the
         Mortgage Loans for sale to prudent investors in the secondary market
         that invest in mortgage loans such as the Mortgage Loans;

                  (4) As of the Whole Loan Sale Date and except for payments in
         the nature of Escrow Payments, including without limitation, taxes and
         insurance payments, the Responsible Party has NOT advanced funds, or
         induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds from a
         party other than the owner of the related Mortgaged Property, directly
         or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage
         Note or Mortgage, except for interest accruing from the date of the
         Mortgage Note or the date of disbursement of the Mortgage proceeds,
         whichever is greater, to the day which precedes by one month the Due
         Date of the first installment of principal and interest. As of the
         Whole Loan Sale Date, no payment under the Mortgage Loan is more than
         sixty (60) days past due, nor has any payment under the Mortgage Loan
         been more than sixty (60) days past due at any time since origination.
         As of the Whole Loan Sale Date, the first Monthly Payment was or shall
         be made with respect to the Mortgage Loan on its Due Date or prior to
         the Due Date of the second Monthly Payment, all in accordance with the
         terms of the related Mortgage Note;

                  (5) As of the date each Mortgage Loan was originated, there
         were no delinquent taxes, ground rents, water and municipal charges,
         sewer rents, assessments, primary insurance policy premiums, fire and
         hazard insurance premiums, leasehold payments, including assessments
         payable in future installments or other outstanding charges affecting
         the related Mortgaged Property, and to the best knowledge of the
         Responsible Party, as of the Closing Date, there are no delinquent
         taxes, primary insurance policy premiums, fire and hazard insurance
         premiums, or other outstanding charges that would jeopardize the lien
         priority of the Mortgage Loan;

                  (6) The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not
         been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by
         written instruments, recorded, or in the process of being recorded, in
         the applicable public recording office if necessary to maintain the
         lien priority of the Mortgage, and which have been delivered or will be
         delivered to the Custodian on behalf of the Purchaser; the substance of
         any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the
         insurer under any primary insurance policy or lender paid primary
         insurance policy, if any, and the title insurer, to the extent required
         by the related policy, and is reflected on the related Mortgage Loan
         Schedule. No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been
         executed, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part,
         except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the
         insurer under the primary insurance policy or lender paid primary
         insurance policy, if any, and the title insurer, to the extent required
         by the policy, and which assumption agreement has been delivered to the
         Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan
         Schedule;

                  (7) The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any
         right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including,
         without limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any
         of the terms of the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage, or the exercise
         of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage
         unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of
         rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of
         usury and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense
         has been asserted with respect thereto;

                  (8) All buildings or other improvements upon the Mortgaged
         Property are insured by an insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie
         Mac against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other
         hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is
         located, pursuant to insurance policies conforming to the requirements
         of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All such insurance policies
         contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Option One Mortgage
         Corporation, its successors and assigns as mortgagee and all premiums
         thereon have been paid. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area
         identified on a flood hazard map or flood insurance rate map issued by
         the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards
         (and such flood insurance has been made available), a flood insurance
         policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the
         Federal Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable insurance
         carrier, in the amount described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
         (and to the extent required in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) is
         in effect, which policy conforms to the requirements of Fannie Mae and
         Freddie Mac. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to obtain
         and maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense,
         and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the
         Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at Mortgagor's cost and
         expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. The
         hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the
         insurer, is in full force and effect, and will be in full force and
         effect and inure to the benefit of the Responsible Party upon the
         consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The
         Responsible Party has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the
         Mortgagor's having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair
         the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement
         provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either,
         including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or
         other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be
         received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other person or
         entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or
         realized by the Responsible Party;

                  (9) Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local
         law including, without limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate
         settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit
         opportunity, fair housing or disclosure laws applicable to the
         origination and servicing of mortgage loans of a type similar to the
         Mortgage Loans have been complied with and the consummation of the
         transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any
         such laws or regulations, and the Responsible Party shall maintain in
         its possession, available for the Purchaser's inspection, and shall
         deliver to the Purchaser upon demand, evidence of compliance with all
         such requirements;

                  (10) The Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled,
         subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged
         Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole
         or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any
         such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission or release.
         The Responsible Party has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor
         of any action, if the Mortgagor's failure to perform such action would
         cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has the Responsible Party
         waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the
         Mortgagor;

                  (11) The related Mortgage is properly recorded and is a valid,
         existing and enforceable (A) first lien and first priority security
         interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the
         Responsible Party to be a first lien (as reflected on the related
         Mortgage Loan Schedule), or (B) second lien and second priority
         security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated
         by the Responsible Party to be a second lien Mortgage Loan (as
         reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), in either case, on the
         Mortgaged Property, including all buildings and improvements on the
         Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical,
         plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems located in or annexed to
         such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at
         any time with respect to the foregoing. The lien of the Mortgage is
         subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes and
         assessments not yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and
         restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public
         record as of the date of recording being acceptable to prudent mortgage
         lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the
         lender's title insurance policy delivered to the Responsible Party of
         the Mortgage Loan and which do not adversely affect the Value of the
         Mortgaged Property, (c) other matters to which like properties are
         commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of
         the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use,
         enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property and
         (d) with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the
         Responsible Party to be a second lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on
         the Mortgage Loan Schedule), a first lien on the Mortgaged Property.
         Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related
         to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and
         creates a valid, existing and enforceable (A) first lien and first
         priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is
         indicated by the Responsible Party to be a first lien (as reflected on
         the Mortgage Loan Schedule), or (B) second lien and second priority
         security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated
         by the Responsible Party to be a second lien Mortgage Loan (as
         reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), in either case, on the
         property described therein and the Responsible Party has full right to
         sell and assign the same to the Purchaser. Except as otherwise
         disclosed on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, with respect to each
         Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of
         origination of the Mortgage Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust,
         deed to secure debt or other security instrument creating a lien
         subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage;

                  (12) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine
         and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Mortgagor
         and enforceable by the Purchaser against such Mortgagor in accordance
         with its terms, except only as such enforcement may be limited by
         bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar
         laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by
         law;

                  (13) All parties to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any
         other related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage
         Loan, to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any
         other related agreement and to pledge, grant or convey the interest
         therein purported to be conveyed, and the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage
         and any other related agreement have been duly and properly executed by
         such parties. The Mortgagor is a natural person either in an individual
         capacity or, provided that the related Mortgage is guaranteed by a
         natural person, as trustee for a family trust;

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

                  (15) No proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used to purchase
         single-premium credit insurance policies;

                  (16) Except with respect to liens released immediately prior
         to the transfer under the Whole Loan Agreement, no Mortgage Note or
         related Mortgage has been assigned or pledged by the Responsible Party.

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

                  (18) On the date of its origination and on the Closing Date,
         the Mortgage Loan was and is covered by an American Land Title
         Association (" ALTA ") ALTA lender's title insurance policy (which, in
         the case of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan has an adjustable rate
         mortgage endorsement in the form of ALTA 6.0 or 6.1), or with respect
         to any Mortgage Loan for which the related Mortgaged Property is
         located in California a CLTA lender's title insurance policy, or other
         form of policy or insurance acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac,
         issued by a title insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and
         qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged
         Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained
         above in (11)(a) and (b) and, with respect to each Mortgage Loan which
         is indicated by the Responsible Party to be a second lien Mortgage Loan
         (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), clause (d)) the
         Responsible Party, its successors and assigns as to the first priority
         lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage
         Loan and, with respect to any Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, against
         any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien
         resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment
         in the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Additionally, such
         lender's title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and
         egress to and from the Mortgaged Property, and against encroachments by
         or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The Responsible
         Party is the sole insured of such lender's title insurance policy, and
         such lender's title insurance policy is valid and remains in full force
         and effect and will be in full force and effect upon the consummation
         of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been
         made under such lender's title insurance policy, and no prior holder of
         the related Mortgage, including the Responsible Party, has done, by act
         or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender's
         title insurance policy including, without limitation, no unlawful fee,
         commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any
         kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any
         attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items
         have been received, retained or realized by the Responsible Party;

                  (19) As of the Whole Loan Sale Date, there was no default,
         breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage
         or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or
         with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would
         constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and
         neither the Responsible Party nor any other entity involved in
         originating or servicing a Mortgage Loan has waived any default,
         breach, violation or event of acceleration. For purposes of the
         foregoing, a delinquent payment of less than sixty (60) days on a
         Mortgage Loan in and of itself shall not constitute a default, breach,
         violation or event of acceleration (or an event which, with the passage
         of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period,
         has occurred that would constitute a default, breach, violation or
         event of acceleration) with respect to such Mortgage Loan. As of the
         Whole Loan Sale Date and with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is
         indicated by the Responsible Party to be a second lien Mortgage Loan
         (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) (i) the first lien is in
         full force and effect, (ii) there is no default, breach, violation or
         event of acceleration existing under such first lien mortgage or the
         related mortgage note, (iii) no event which, with the passage of time
         or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would
         constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration
         thereunder, and either (A) the first lien mortgage contains a provision
         which allows or (B) applicable law requires, the mortgagee under the
         second lien Mortgage Loan to receive notice of, and affords such
         mortgagee an opportunity to cure any default by payment in full or
         otherwise under the first lien mortgage;

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

                  (21) As of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, all
         improvements which were considered in determining the Value of the
         related Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and
         building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no
         improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged
         Property;

                  (22) The Mortgage Loan was originated by (i) the Responsible
         Party, (ii) by a correspondent mortgage banker or broker licensed or
         authorized to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related
         Mortgaged Property is located, applying the same standards and
         procedures used by the Responsible Party in originating Mortgage Loans
         directly or (iii) a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a
         commercial bank or similar banking institution which is supervised and
         examined by a federal or state authority, or by a mortgagee approved as
         such by the Secretary of HUD;

                  (23) Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan shall commence
         (with respect to any newly originated Mortgage Loans) or commenced no
         more than sixty days after the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan were
         disbursed. The Mortgage Loan bears interest at the Mortgage Interest
         Rate. Except as otherwise disclosed on the related Mortgage Loan
         Schedule, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Note is
         payable on the first day of each month in Monthly Payments, which, in
         the case of a Fixed Rate Mortgage Loans, are sufficient to fully
         amortize the original principal balance over the original term thereof,
         of not more than 30 years, and to pay interest at the related Mortgage
         Interest Rate, and, in the case of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan,
         are changed on each Adjustment Date, and in any case, are sufficient to
         fully amortize the original principal balance over the original term
         thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. The
         Index for each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan is as defined in the
         Mortgage Loan Schedule and the Mortgage Loan Schedule. The Mortgage
         Note does not permit negative amortization. No Mortgage Loan is a
         Convertible Mortgage Loan;

                  (24) The origination and collection practices used by the
         Responsible Party with respect to each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have
         been in all respects legal, proper, prudent and customary in the
         mortgage origination and servicing industry. The Mortgage Loan has been
         serviced by the Responsible Party and any predecessor servicer in
         accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Note. With respect to escrow
         deposits and Escrow Payments (other than with respect to each Mortgage
         Loan which is indicated by the Responsible Party to be a second lien
         Mortgage Loan and for which the mortgagee under the first lien is
         collecting Escrow Payments (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan
         Schedule)), if any, all such payments are in the possession of, or
         under the control of, the Responsible Party and there exist no
         deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements
         for repayment thereof have not been made. An escrow of funds is not
         prohibited by applicable law with respect to any Mortgage Loan for
         which such escrow of funds has been established. All Mortgage Interest
         Rate adjustments have been made in strict compliance with state and
         federal law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note. If, pursuant to
         the terms of the Mortgage Note, another index was selected for
         determining the Mortgage Rate, the same index was used with respect to
         each Mortgage Note which required a new index to be selected, and such
         selection did not conflict with the terms of the related Mortgage Note.
         The Responsible Party or an Affiliate executed and delivered any and
         all notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related
         Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Interest Rate and the
         monthly payment adjustments. Any interest required to be paid pursuant
         to state, federal and local law has been properly paid and credited. No
         escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due the
         Responsible Party have been capitalized under any Mortgage or the
         related Mortgage Note and no such escrow deposits or Escrow Payments
         are being held by the Responsible Party for any work on a Mortgaged
         Property which has not been completed;

                  (25) As of the Whole Loan Sale Date, the Mortgaged Property
         was undamaged by waste, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood,
         tornado or other casualty, so as to affect adversely the value of the
         Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or the use for
         which the premises were intended and there is no proceeding pending or
         threatened for the total or partial condemnation thereof nor is such a
         proceeding currently occurring;

                  (26) The Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary
         and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of
         the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged
         Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including,
         (a) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by
         trustee's sale, and (b) otherwise by judicial or non-judicial
         foreclosure. Upon default by a Mortgagor on a Mortgage Loan and
         foreclosure on, or trustee's sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant
         to the proper procedures, the holder of the Mortgage Loan will be able
         to deliver good and merchantable title to the Mortgaged Property. The
         Mortgaged Property has not been subject to any bankruptcy proceeding or
         foreclosure proceeding and the Mortgagor has not filed for protection
         under applicable bankruptcy laws. There is no homestead or other
         exemption available to the Mortgagor which would materially interfere
         with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or
         the right to foreclose the Mortgage subject to applicable federal and
         state laws and judicial precedent with respect to bankruptcy and rights
         of redemption. The Mortgagor has not notified the Responsible Party and
         the Responsible Party has no knowledge of any relief requested or
         allowed to the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, as
         amended;

                  (27) The Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the
         Underwriting Guidelines of the Responsible Party in effect at the time
         the Mortgage Loan was originated; and the Mortgage Note and Mortgage
         are on forms acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions in the
         secondary market;

                  (28) The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any
         collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage on the
         Mortgaged Property and the security interest of any applicable security
         interest or chattel mortgage referred to in (11) above;

                  (29) The Mortgage Note is comprised of one original promissory
         note and each such promissory note constitutes an "instrument" for
         purposes of Section 102(a)(47) of the Uniform Commercial Code;

                  (30) The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related
         Mortgaged Property which (A) satisfied the standards of Fannie Mae and
         Freddie Mac, (B) was conducted generally in accordance with the
         Responsible Party's underwriting guidelines and included an assessment
         of the fair market value of the related Mortgaged Property at the time
         of such appraisal, and (C) was made and signed, prior to the approval
         of the Mortgage Loan application, by a qualified appraiser who had no
         interest, direct or indirect in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan
         made on the security thereof, whose compensation is not affected by the
         approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan and who met the minimum
         qualifications of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Each appraisal of the
         Mortgage Loan was made in accordance with the relevant provisions of
         the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of
         1989;

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

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

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

                  (34) No Mortgage Loan was made in connection with the
         construction or rehabilitation of a Mortgaged Property;

                  (35) The Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under
         applicable law; all inspections, licenses and certificates required to
         be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the
         Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the
         same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire
         underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the
         appropriate authorities. No improvement located on or being part of any
         Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or
         regulation. To the best of the Responsible Party's knowledge and with
         respect to each Mortgage Loan that is covered by a Primary Mortgage
         Insurance Policy, the improvement(s) located on or being part of the
         related Mortgaged Property were constructed in accordance with the
         specifications set forth in the original construction plans;

                  (36) No error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence, fraud
         or similar occurrence with respect to the origination, modification or
         amendment of any Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of the
         Responsible Party, and to the best of Company's knowledge, on the part
         of any person, including without limitation the Mortgagor, any
         appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party involved in the
         origination of the Mortgage Loan or in the application of any insurance
         in relation to such Mortgage Loan and the documents, instruments and
         agreements submitted for loan underwriting were not falsified and
         contain no untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a
         material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
         information and statements therein not misleading;

                  (37) Each original Mortgage was recorded and all subsequent
         assignments of the original Mortgage (other than the assignment to the
         Purchaser) have been recorded, or are in the process of being recorded,
         in the appropriate jurisdictions wherein such recordation is necessary
         to perfect the lien thereof as against creditors of the Seller. The
         Assignment of Mortgage is in recordable form and is acceptable for
         recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged
         Property is located;

                  (38) Any principal advances made to the Mortgagor after the
         date of origination of a Mortgage Loan but prior to the Cut-off Date
         have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by
         the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears
         a single interest rate and single repayment term reflected on the
         Mortgage Loan Schedule. The lien of the Mortgage securing the
         consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having (A) first
         lien priority with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by
         the Responsible Party to be a first lien (as reflected on the Mortgage
         Loan Schedule) or (B) second lien priority with respect to each
         Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Responsible Party to be a
         second lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule),
         in either case, by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the
         policy insuring the mortgagee's consolidated interest or by other title
         evidence acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The consolidated
         principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the
         related Mortgage Loan;

                  (39) No Mortgage Loan has a balloon payment feature;

                  (40) Each Mortgaged Property consists of a fee simple interest
         in a single parcel of real property improved by a Residential Dwelling.
         If the Residential Dwelling on the Mortgaged Property is a condominium
         unit or a unit in a planned unit development (other than a de minimis
         planned unit development) such condominium or planned unit development
         project meets the eligibility requirements of Fannie Mae and Freddie
         Mac;

                  (41) With respect to each Mortgage Loan secured by a
         manufactured home: (A) the manufactured home is permanently affixed to
         a foundation which is suitable for the soil conditions of the site; (B)
         all foundations, both perimeter and interior, have footings that are
         located below the frost line; (C) any wheels, axles and trailer hitches
         are removed from such manufactured home; and (D) the related Mortgage
         Loan is covered under a standard real estate title insurance policy
         that identifies the manufactured home as part of the real property and
         insures or indemnifies against any loss if the manufactured home is
         determined not to be part of the real property;

                  (42) Each Mortgage Loan originated in the state of Texas
         pursuant to Article XVI, Section 50(a)(6) of the Texas Constitution (a
         " TEXAS REFINANCE LOAN ") has been originated in compliance with the
         provisions of Article XVI, Section 50(a)(6) of the Texas Constitution,
         Texas Civil Statutes and the Texas Finance Code. With respect to each
         Texas Refinance Loan that is a Cash Out Refinancing, the related
         Mortgage Loan documents state that the Mortgagor may prepay such Texas
         Refinance Loan in whole or in part without incurring a Prepayment
         Charge. The Responsible Party does not collect any such Prepayment
         Charges in connection with any such Texas Refinance Loan;

                  (43) Interest on each Mortgage Loan is calculated on the basis
         of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months;

                  (44) There is no pending action or proceeding directly
         involving the Mortgaged Property in which compliance with any
         environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue; there is no
         violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation with respect to
         the Mortgaged Property; and nothing further remains to be done to
         satisfy in full all requirements of each such law, rule or regulation
         constituting a prerequisite to use and enjoyment of said property;

                  (45) The Responsible Party shall, at its own expense, cause
         each Mortgage Loan to be covered by a "life of loan" Tax Service
         Contract which is assignable to the Purchaser or its designee at no
         cost to the Purchaser or its designee; PROVIDED , HOWEVER , that if the
         Responsible Party fails to purchase such Tax Service Contract, the
         Responsible Party shall be required to reimburse the Purchaser for all
         costs and expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with the
         purchase of any such Tax Service Contract;

                  (46) Each Mortgage Loan is covered by a "life of loan" flood
         zone service contract which is assignable to the Purchaser or its
         designee at no cost to the Purchaser or its designee or, for each
         Mortgage Loan not covered by such flood zone service contract, the
         Responsible Party agrees to purchase such flood zone service contract;

                  (47) None of the Mortgage Loans are classified as (a) "high
         cost" loans under the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994
         or (b) "high cost," "threshold," "covered" or "predatory" loans under
         any other applicable federal, state or local law (including without
         limitation any regulation or ordinance) (or a similarly classified loan
         using different terminology under a law imposing heightened regulatory
         scrutiny or additional legal liability for residential mortgage loans
         having high interest rates, points and/or fees);

                  (48) The Responsible Party has no knowledge of any
         circumstances or condition with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged
         Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor's credit standing that
         relative to similar mortgage loans held by the Responsible Party that
         are secured by properties in the same geographic area as the related
         Mortgaged Property could reasonably be expected to cause the Mortgage
         Loan to be an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to
         become delinquent, adversely affect the value of the Mortgage Loan or
         to cause any Mortgage Loan to prepay during any period materially
         faster or slower;

                  (49) The Responsible Party and any predecessor servicer with
         respect to a Mortgage Loan has fully furnished, in accordance with the
         Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate
         and complete information (e.g., favorable and unfavorable) on its
         borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit
         Information Company (three of the credit repositories), on a monthly
         basis;

                  (50) Each first lien Mortgage Loan identified on the Mortgage
         Loan Schedule as subject to a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy will be
         subject to a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, issued by a Qualified
         Insurer, which insures that portion of the Mortgage Loan in excess of
         the portion of the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property required
         by Fannie Mae. All provisions of such primary insurance policy have
         been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and
         effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. Any first lien
         Mortgage subject to any such primary insurance policy obligates the
         Mortgagor thereunder to maintain such insurance and to pay all premiums
         and charges in connection therewith. The Mortgage Interest Rate for the
         Mortgage Loan does not include any such insurance premium;

                  (51) None of the Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans are
         convertible Mortgage Loans;

                  (52) With respect to any first lien Mortgage Loan, the
         Loan-to-Value Ratio of such Mortgage Loan at origination was not more
         than 95% and with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the combined loan to
         value ration of such Mortgage Loan at origination was not more than
         100%, unless otherwise set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule;

                  (53) Each Mortgage Loan constitutes a "qualified mortgage"
         under Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section
         1.860G-2(a)(1);

                  (54) Each Mortgage Loan has a valid and original Credit Score
         of not less than 500, unless otherwise set forth in the Mortgage Loan
         Schedule;

                  (55) Each Mortgage Loan was originated on or after the date
         set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule;

                  (56) No Mortgage Loan had an original term to maturity of more
         than thirty (30) years, unless otherwise set forth in the Mortgage Loan
         Schedule;

                  (57) Each Mortgagor has a debt-to-income ratio of less than or
         equal to 60%, unless otherwise set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule;

                  (58) Each Mortgage contains a provision for the acceleration
         of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage
         Loan in the event the related Mortgaged Property is sold without the
         prior consent of the mortgagee thereunder and to the best of the
         Responsible Party's knowledge, such provision is enforceable;

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

                  (60) No Mortgage Loan is a "Specifically Designated National
         and Blocked Person" as designated by the Office of Foreign Assets
         Control or as a person designated in Presidential Executive Order 13224
         as a person who commits, threatens to commit, or supports terrorism.

                  (61) Each Parity Act State Mortgage Loan was originated and is
         serviced in conformity with the regulations promulgated by the Office
         of Thrift Supervision pursuant to the Parity Act;

                  (62) No Mortgage Loan has a prepayment penalty longer than
         three years after its origination. Any prepayment penalty is in an
         amount equal to or less than the lesser of (a) the maximum amount
         permitted under applicable state law, and (b) if the Mortgaged Property
         is secured by residential real property located in a state other than
         Arizona, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, South Carolina or Wisconsin,
         six months interest on the related prepaid amount;

                  (63) The Mortgage Loan documents with respect to each Mortgage
         Loan subject to Prepayment Charges specifically authorizes such
         Prepayment Charges to be collected and such Prepayment Charges are
         permissible and enforceable in accordance with the terms of the related
         Mortgage Loan documents and applicable law (except to the extent that
         the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
         moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors'
         rights generally or the collectability thereof may be limited due to
         acceleration in connection with a foreclosure);

                  (64) Unless otherwise set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule,
         with respect to any Mortgage Loan, no more than five percent (5%) of
         the Mortgage Loans are second lien Mortgage Loans. The representations
         and warranties in this SECTION 6 are applicable to such second lien
         Mortgage Loans to the extent that the Responsible Party's underwriting
         guidelines for the origination of second lien mortgage loans set forth
         guidelines and/or procedures related to such representations and
         warranties.

                  (65) All Parity Act State Mortgage Loans originated on or
         after July 1, 2003 comply with all applicable state laws, rules and
         regulations regarding prepayment charges set forth in the Mortgage Loan
         documents are enforceable under applicable state laws and regulations.

                  (66) The Mortgaged Property is located in the state identified
         in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of a single parcel of real
         property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a
         two- to four-family dwelling, or an individual condominium unit in a
         condominium project, or an individual unit in a planned unit
         development or a de minimis planned unit development; provided,
         however, that any condominium unit, planned unit development, mobile
         home (double wide only) or manufactured dwelling shall conform with the
         applicable Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac requirements regarding such
         dwellings and that no Mortgage Loan is secured by a single parcel of
         real property with a cooperative housing corporation, a log home or,
         except as specified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, a mobile home
         erected thereon or by a mixed use property, a property in excess of 10
         acres or other unique property types. As of the date of origination, no
         portion of the Mortgaged Property was used for commercial purposes, and
         since the date of origination, no portion of the Mortgaged Property has
         been used for commercial purposes; provided, that Mortgaged Properties
         which contain a home office shall not be considered as being used for
         commercial purposes as long as the Mortgaged Property has not been
         altered for commercial purposes and is not storing any chemicals or raw
         materials other than those commonly used for homeowner repair,
         maintenance and/or household purposes;

                  (67) With respect to Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, the Index
         set forth in the Mortgage Note is LIBOR, unless otherwise set forth in
         the Mortgage Loan Schedule;

                  (68) With respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, the
         Mortgage Loan documents provide that after the related first Adjustment
         Date, a related Mortgage Loan may only be assumed if the party assuming
         such Mortgage Loan meets certain credit requirements stated in the
         Mortgage Loan documents;

                  (69) To the best of the Responsible Party's knowledge, no
         action, inaction or event has occurred and no state of facts exists or
         has existed that has resulted or will result in the exclusion from,
         denial of, or defense to coverage under any insurance policy or
         bankruptcy bond related to the Mortgage Loans, irrespective of the
         cause of such failure of coverage. In connection with the placement of
         any such insurance, no commission, fee, or other compensation has been
         or will be received by the Responsible Party or by any officer,
         director, or employee of the Responsible Party or any designee of the
         Responsible Party or any corporation in which the Responsible Party or
         any officer, director, or employee had a financial interest at the time
         of placement of such insurance;

                  (70) To the best of the Responsible Party's knowledge, no
         action has been taken or failed to be taken, no event has occurred and
         no state of facts exists or has existed on or prior to the Closing Date
         (whether or not known to the Responsible Party on or prior to such
         date) which has resulted or will result in an exclusion from, denial
         of, or defense to coverage under any primary mortgage insurance
         (including, without limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses
         which would limit or reduce the availability of the timely payment of
         the full amount of the loss otherwise due thereunder to the insured)
         whether arising out of actions, representations, errors, omissions,
         negligence, or fraud of the Responsible Party, the related Mortgagor or
         any party involved in the application for such coverage, including the
         appraisal, plans and specifications and other exhibits or documents
         submitted therewith to the insurer under such insurance policy, or for
         any other reason under such coverage, but not including the failure of
         such insurer to pay by reason of such insurer's breach of such
         insurance policy or such insurer's financial inability to pay;

                  (71) With respect to each Mortgage, the Responsible Party or
         its Affiliate has within the last twelve months (unless such Mortgage
         was originated within such twelve month period) analyzed the required
         Escrow Payments for each Mortgage and adjusted the amount of such
         payments so that, assuming all required payments are timely made, any
         deficiency will be eliminated on or before the first anniversary of
         such analysis, or any overage will be refunded to the Mortgagor, in
         accordance with RESPA and any other applicable law;

                  (72) As to each consumer report (as defined in the Fair Credit
         Reporting Act, Public Law 91-508) or other credit information furnished
         by the Responsible Party to the Purchaser, that Responsible Party has
         full right and authority and is not precluded by law or contract from
         furnishing such information to the Purchaser;

                  (73) If the Mortgage Loan is secured by a long-term
         residential lease, (1) the lessor under the lease holds a fee simple
         interest in the land; (2) the terms of such lease expressly permit the
         mortgaging of the leasehold estate, the assignment of the lease without
         the lessor's consent and the acquisition by the holder of the Mortgage
         of the rights of the lessee upon foreclosure or assignment in lieu of
         foreclosure or provide the holder of the Mortgage with substantially
         similar protections; (3) the terms of such lease do not (a) allow the
         termination thereof upon the lessee's default without the holder of the
         Mortgage being entitled to receive written notice of, and opportunity
         to cure, such default, (b) allow the termination of the lease in the
         event of damage or destruction as long as the Mortgage is in existence,
         (c) prohibit the holder of the Mortgage from being insured (or
         receiving proceeds of insurance) under the hazard insurance policy or
         policies relating to the Mortgaged Property or (d) permit any increase
         in rent other than pre-established increases set forth in the lease;
         (4) the original term of such lease is not less than 15 years; (5) the
         term of such lease does not terminate earlier than five years after the
         maturity date of the Mortgage Note; and (6) the Mortgaged Property is
         located in a jurisdiction in which the use of leasehold estates in
         transferring ownership in residential properties is a generally
         accepted practice;

                  (74) The Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the
         underwriting guidelines of the Responsible Party. The Mortgage Note and
         Mortgage are on forms acceptable to Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae, if
         available, and neither the Responsible Party nor any Affiliate has made
         any representations to a Mortgagor that are inconsistent with the
         mortgage instruments used;

                  (75) In connection with the origination of any Mortgage Loan,
         no proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used to finance a
         single-premium credit life insurance policy;

                  (76) With respect to each second lien Mortgage Loan, the
         related first lien mortgage contains a provision which provides for
         giving notice of default or breach to the mortgagee under such second
         lien Mortgage Loan and allows such mortgagee to cure any default under
         the related first lien mortgage;

                  (77) With respect to each second lien Mortgage Loan, the
         Responsible Party has not received a written notice of default of any
         senior mortgage loan related to the Mortgaged Property which has not
         been cured;

                  (78) No Mortgage Loan is a high cost loan or a covered loan,
         as applicable (as such terms are defined in Standard & Poor's LEVELS
         Version 5.6 Glossary Revised, Appendix E);

                  (79) No mortgage loan originated on or after October 1, 2002
         through March 6, 2003 is governed by the Georgia Fair Lending Act; and

                  (80) The information provided to the Seller by the Responsible
         Party regarding the Mortgage Loans is accurate in all material respects
         and the Responsible Party has serviced the Mortgage Loans in accordance
         with the terms of the Whole Loan Agreement, provided accurate
         statements to the Seller and otherwise complied with all covenants and
         obligations thereunder.

                  SECTION 7 REPURCHASE OBLIGATION FOR DEFECTIVE DOCUMENTATION
AND FOR BREACH OF REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTY.

                  (a) The representations and warranties contained in Section 6
shall not be impaired by any review and examination of Mortgage Files or any
failure on the part of the Seller or the Purchaser to review or examine such
documents and shall inure to the benefit of any assignee, transferee or designee
of the Purchaser, including the Trustee for the benefit of holders of the
Certificates.

                  Upon discovery by the Seller, the Purchaser or any assignee,
transferee or designee of the Purchaser of any materially defective document in,
or that any material document was not transferred by or at the direction of the
Seller (as listed on the Trustee's Preliminary Exception Report) as part of any
Mortgage File, or of a breach of any of the representations and warranties
contained in Section 6 that materially and adversely affects the value of any
Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Purchaser or the Purchaser's
assignee, transferee or designee, the party discovering such breach shall give
prompt written notice to the Seller (in the case of a missing document) or the
Responsible Party and the Seller (in the case of a breach of any of the
representations and warranties contained in Section 6). Within sixty (60) days
of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such missing documentation that
was not transferred to the Purchaser as described above, or of materially
defective documentation, or of any such breach of a representation and warranty,
the Responsible Party or the Seller (or their related designee), as applicable,
promptly shall deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in
all material respects or, in the event the Responsible Party or the Seller (or
their related designee) cannot deliver such missing document or cannot cure such
defect or breach, the Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable, shall,
within ninety (90) days of its discovery or receipt of notice, either (i)
repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price (as such term is
defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) or (ii) pursuant to the
provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, cause the removal of such
Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund and substitute one or more Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans. The Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable,
shall amend the Closing Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of such Mortgage Loan
from the terms of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The
Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable, shall deliver to the Purchaser
such amended Closing Schedule and shall deliver such other documents as are
required by this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement within five
(5) days of any such amendment. Any repurchase pursuant to this Section 7(a)
shall be accomplished by transfer to an account designated by the Purchaser of
the amount of the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 2.03 of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. Any repurchase required by this Section shall be made
in a manner consistent with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, within 90 days of the earlier
of discovery by the Responsible Party or receipt of notice by the Responsible
Party of the breach of the representation of the Responsible Party set forth in
Section 6(68) above which materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Holders of the Class P Certificates in any Prepayment Charge, the Responsible
Party shall pay the amount of the scheduled Prepayment Charge, for the benefit
of the Holders of the Class P Certificates by remitting such amount to the
Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, net of any amount previously
collected by the Servicer or paid by the Servicer, for the benefit of the
Holders of the Class P Certificates in respect of such Prepayment Charge.

                  (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to an alleged
breach of a representation and warranty which breach is covered by a title
insurance policy, the Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to enforce the
provisions of any related title insurance policy prior to seeking a remedy
against the Responsible Party or the Seller hereunder.

                  (c) It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the
Responsible Party or the Seller set forth in this Section 7 to cure or
repurchase a defective Mortgage Loan constitute the sole remedies of the
Purchaser against the Responsible Party or the Seller respecting a missing
document or a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section
6.

                  SECTION 8 CLOSING; PAYMENT FOR THE MORTGAGE LOANS. The closing
of the purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans shall be held at the New York
City office of Thacher Proffitt & Wood LLP at 10:00 a.m. New York City time on
the Closing Date.

                  The closing shall be subject to each of the following
conditions:

                  (a) All of the representations and warranties of the Seller
and the Responsible Party under this Agreement shall be true and correct in all
material respects as of the date as of which they are made and no event shall
have occurred which, with notice or the passage of time, would constitute a
default under this Agreement;

                  (b) The Purchaser shall have received, or the attorneys of the
Purchaser shall have received in escrow (to be released from escrow at the time
of closing), all Closing Documents as specified in Section 9 of this Agreement,
in such forms as are agreed upon and acceptable to the Purchaser, duly executed

                  (g) Such further information, certificates, opinions and
documents as the Purchaser or the Representative may reasonably request.

                  SECTION 10 COSTS. The Seller shall pay (or shall reimburse the

                  SECTION 11 [Reserved].

                  SECTION 12 INDEMNIFICATION. The Responsible Party shall
indemnify and hold harmless each of (i) the Purchaser, (ii) the Underwriter,
(iii) the Person, if any, to which the Purchaser assigns its rights in and to a
Mortgage Loan and each of their respective successors and assigns and (iv) each
person, if any, who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") ((i) through (iv)
collectively, the "Indemnified Party") against any and all losses, claims,
expenses, damages or liabilities to which the Indemnified Party may become
subject, under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
expenses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or
are based upon (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact contained in the Prospectus Supplement or any private placement
memorandum relating to the offering by the Purchaser or an affiliate thereof, of
the Class CE Certificates or the Class P Certificates, or the omission or the
alleged omission to state therein the material fact necessary in order to make
the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to
the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with (i)
information furnished in writing to the Purchaser or any of its affiliates by
the Seller or any of its affiliates specifically for use therein, which shall
include, with respect to the Prospectus Supplement, the information set forth
under the captions "Summary of Prospectus Supplement--The Mortgage Loans," "Risk
Factors" (to the extent of information concerning the Mortgage Loans contained
therein), Risk Factors-Litigation concerning Option One Mortgage Corporation,
"The Mortgage Pool," "The Originator" and "Pooling and Servicing Agreement--The
Servicer" and, with respect to any private placement memorandum, any information
of a comparable nature, or (ii) the data files containing information with
respect to the Mortgage Loans as transmitted by modem to the Purchaser by the
Responsible Party or any of its affiliates (as such transmitted information may
have been amended in writing by the Responsible Party or any of its affiliates
with the written consent of the Purchaser subsequent to such transmission), (b)
any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Responsible Party or any
affiliate of the Responsible Party herein or in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, on which the Purchaser has relied, being, or alleged to be, untrue or
incorrect or (c) any updated collateral information provided by any Underwriter
to a purchaser of the Certificates derived from the data contained in clause
(ii) and the Remittance Report or a current collateral tape obtained from the
Responsible Party or an affiliate of the Responsible Party, including the
current Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that
to the extent that any such losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities to
which the Indemnified Party may become subject arise out of or are based upon
both (1) statements, omissions, representations, warranties or covenants of the
Seller described in clause (a), (b) or (c) above and (2) any other factual
basis, the Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Party only
to the extent that the losses, claims, expenses, damages, or liabilities of the
person or persons asserting the claim are determined to rise from or be based
upon matters set forth in clause (1) above and do not result from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. This indemnity shall
be in addition to any liability that the Seller may otherwise have.

                  SECTION 13 MANDATORY DELIVERY; GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. The
sale and delivery on the Closing Date of the Mortgage Loans described on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement is mandatory. It is specifically understood and agreed that each
Mortgage Loan is unique and identifiable on the date hereof and that an award of
money damages would be insufficient to compensate the Purchaser for the losses
and damages incurred by the Purchaser in the event of the Seller's failure to
deliver the Mortgage Loans on or before the Closing Date. The Seller hereby
grants to the Purchaser a lien on and a continuing security interest in the
Seller's interest in each Mortgage Loan and each document and instrument
evidencing each such Mortgage Loan to secure the performance by the Seller of
its obligation hereunder, and the Seller agrees that it holds such Mortgage
Loans in custody for the Purchaser, subject to the Purchaser's (i) right, prior
to the Closing Date, to reject any Mortgage Loan to the extent permitted by this
Agreement, and (ii) obligation to deliver or cause to be delivered the
consideration for the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 8 hereof. Any Mortgage
Loans rejected by the Purchaser shall concurrently therewith be released from
the security interest created hereby. All rights and remedies of the Purchaser
under this Agreement are distinct from, and cumulative with, any other rights or
remedies under this Agreement or afforded by law or equity and all such rights
and remedies may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the Closing Date, each of
the conditions set forth in Section 8 hereof shall have been satisfied and the
Purchaser shall not have paid or caused to be paid the Purchase Price, or any
such condition shall not have been waived or satisfied and the Purchaser
determines not to pay or cause to be paid the Purchase Price, the Purchaser
shall immediately effect the re-delivery of the Mortgage Loans, if delivery to
the Purchaser has occurred, and the security interest created by this Section 12
shall be deemed to have been released.

                  SECTION 14 NOTICES. All demands, notices and communications
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if
personally delivered to or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, or
transmitted by fax and, receipt of which is confirmed by telephone, if to the
Purchaser, addressed to the Purchaser at 390 Greenwich Street, 4th Floor, New
York, New York 10013, Attention: Mortgage Finance Group, or such other address
as may hereafter be furnished to the Responsible Party and the Seller in writing
by the Purchaser; if to the Responsible Party, addressed to the Responsible
Party at 3 Ada, Irvine, California 92618, or such other address as may hereafter
be furnished to the Seller and the Purchaser in writing by the Responsible
Party; if to the Seller, addressed to the Seller at Stanwich Asset Acceptance
Company, L.L.C., Nine Greenwich Office Park, Greenwich, Connecticut 06831,
Attention: Bruce M. Rose, or to such other address as the Seller may designate
in writing to the Purchaser and the Responsible Party.

                  SECTION 15 SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. Any part, provision,
representation or warranty of this Agreement that is prohibited or that is held
to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions
hereof. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement that
is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits
or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof.

                  SECTION 16 AGREEMENT OF PARTIES. The Seller, the Responsible
Party and the Purchaser each agree to execute and deliver such instruments and
take such actions as either of the others may, from time to time, reasonably
request in order to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the terms of this
Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

                  SECTION 17 SURVIVAL. (a) The Seller agrees that the
representations, warranties and agreements made by it herein and in any
certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant hereto shall be deemed to be
relied upon by the Purchaser, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or
hereafter made by the Purchaser or on its behalf, and that the representations,
warranties and agreements made by the Seller herein or in any such certificate
or other instrument shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Mortgage
Loans and shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding any
restrictive or qualified endorsement on the Mortgage Notes and notwithstanding
subsequent termination of this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or
the Trust Fund.

                  (b) The Responsible Party agrees that the representations,
warranties and agreements made by it herein and in any certificate or other
instrument delivered pursuant hereto shall be deemed to be relied upon by the
Seller and the Purchaser, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or
hereafter made by the Seller or the Purchaser or on the behalf of either of
them, and that the representations, warranties and agreements made by the
Responsible Party herein or in any such certificate or other instrument shall
continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding subsequent termination of
this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Trust Fund.

                  SECTION 18 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS,
DUTIES, OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE
CHOICE OF LAW PROVISIONS) AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE PARTIES
HERETO INTEND THAT THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL
OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL APPLY TO THIS AGREEMENT.

                  SECTION 19 MISCELLANEOUS. This Agreement may be executed in
two or more counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be
an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement
supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject
matter hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed,
waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing
signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or
termination is sought. The headings in this Agreement are for purposes of
reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

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

<PAGE>

                                   Schedule I
                                   ----------

                  The Seller hereby represents, warrants, and covenants to the
Purchaser as follows on the Closing Date and on each Distribution Date
thereafter:

                  GENERAL

                  1. This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security
interest (as defined in the applicable Uniform Commercial Code ("UCC")) in the
Mortgage Loans in favor of the Purchaser which security interest is prior to all
other liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers
from the Seller.

                  2. The Mortgage Loans constitute "general intangibles" or
"instruments" within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

                  3. The Collection Account and all subaccounts thereof
constitute either a deposit account or a securities account.

                  4. To the extent that payments and collections received or
made with respect to the Mortgage Loans constitute securities entitlements, such
payments and collections have been and will have been credited to the Collection
Account. The securities intermediary for the Collection Account has agreed to
treat all assets credited to the Collection Account as "financial assets" within
the meaning of the applicable UCC.

                  CREATION

                  5. The Seller owns and has good and marketable title to the
Mortgage Loans free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person,
excepting only liens for taxes, assessments or similar governmental charges or
levies incurred in the ordinary course of business that are not yet due and
payable or as to which any applicable grace period shall not have expired, or
that are being contested in good faith by proper proceedings and for which
adequate reserves have been established, but only so long as foreclosure with
respect to such a lien is not imminent and the use and value of the property to
which the lien attaches is not impaired during the pendency of such proceeding.

                  6. The Seller has received all consents and approvals to the
sale of the Mortgage Loans hereunder to the Purchaser required by the terms of
the Mortgage Loans that constitute instruments.

                  7. To the extent the Collection Account or subaccounts thereof
constitute securities entitlements, certificated securities or uncertificated
securities, the Seller has received all consents and approvals required to
transfer to the Purchaser its interest and rights in the Collection Account
hereunder.

                  PERFECTION

                  8. The Seller has caused or will have caused, within ten days
after the effective date of this Agreement, the filing of all appropriate
financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate
jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the sale of the Mortgage
Loans from the Seller to the Purchaser and the security interest in the Mortgage
Loans granted to the Purchaser hereunder.

                  9. With respect to the Collection Account and all subaccounts
that constitute deposit accounts, either:

                  (i) the Seller has delivered to the Purchaser a fully-executed
         agreement pursuant to which the bank maintaining the deposit accounts
         has agreed to comply with all instructions originated by the Purchaser
         directing disposition of the funds in the Collection Account without
         further consent by the Seller; or

                  (ii) the Seller has taken all steps necessary to cause the
         Purchaser to become the account holder of the Collection Account.

                  10. With respect to the Collection Account or subaccounts
thereof that constitute securities accounts or securities entitlements, either:

                  (i) the Seller has caused or will have caused, within ten days
         after the effective date of this Agreement, the filing of all
         appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the
         appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the
         security interest in the Collection Account granted by the Seller to
         the Purchaser; or

                  (ii) the Seller has delivered to the Purchaser a
         fully-executed agreement pursuant to which the securities intermediary
         has agreed to comply with all instructions originated by the Purchaser
         relating to the Collection Account without further consent by the
         Purchaser; or

                  (iii) the Seller has taken all steps necessary to cause the
         securities intermediary to identify in its records the Purchaser as the
         person having a security entitlement against the securities
         intermediary in the Collection Account.

                  PRIORITY

                  11. Other than the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the
Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, the Seller has not pledged, assigned,
sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Mortgage
Loans. The Seller has not authorized the filing of, or is not aware of any
financing statements against the Seller that include a description of collateral
covering the Mortgage Loans other than any financing statement relating to the
security interest granted to the Purchaser hereunder or that has been
terminated.

                  12. The Seller is not aware of any judgment, ERISA or tax lien
filings against the Seller.

                  13. The Trustee has in its possession all original copies of
the Mortgage Notes that constitute or evidence the Mortgage Loans. To the
Seller's knowledge, none of the instruments that constitute or evidence the
Mortgage Loans has any marks or notations indicating that they have been
pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Purchaser
or its designee. All financing statements filed or to be filed against the
Seller in favor of the Purchaser in connection herewith describing the Mortgage
Loans contain a statement to the following effect: "A purchase of or security
interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate
the rights of the Purchaser."

                  14. Neither the Collection Account nor any subaccount thereof
is in the name of any person other than the Seller or the Purchaser or in the
name of its nominee. The Seller has not consented for the securities
intermediary of the Collection Account to comply with entitlement orders of any
person other than the Purchaser or its designee.

                  15. SURVIVAL OF PERFECTION REPRESENTATIONS. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement or any other transaction document, the
Perfection Representations contained in this Schedule shall be continuing, and
remain in full force and effect (notwithstanding any replacement of the Servicer
or termination of the Servicer's rights to act as such) until such time as all
obligations under this Agreement have been finally and fully paid and performed.

                  16. NO WAIVER. The parties to this Agreement (i) shall not,
without obtaining a confirmation of the then-current rating of the Certificates
waive any of the Perfection Representations, and (ii) shall provide the Rating
Agencies with prompt written notice of any breach of the Perfection
Representations, and shall not, without obtaining a confirmation of the
then-current rating of the Certificates (as determined after any adjustment or
withdrawal of the ratings following notice of such breach) waive a breach of any
of the Perfection Representations.

                  17. SELLER TO MAINTAIN PERFECTION AND PRIORITY. The Seller
covenants that, in order to evidence the interests of the Seller and the
Purchaser under this Agreement, the Seller shall take such action, or execute
and deliver such instruments (other than effecting a Filing (as defined below),
unless such Filing is effected in accordance with this paragraph) as may be
necessary or advisable (including, without limitation, such actions as are
requested by the Purchaser) to maintain and perfect, as a first priority
interest, the Purchaser's security interest in the Mortgage Loans. The Seller
shall, from time to time and within the time limits established by law, prepare
and present to the Purchaser or its designee to authorize (based in reliance on
the Opinion of Counsel hereinafter provided for) the Seller to file, all
financing statements, amendments, continuations, initial financing statements in
lieu of a continuation statement, terminations, partial terminations, releases
or partial releases, or any other filings necessary or advisable to continue,
maintain and perfect the Purchaser's security interest in the Mortgage Loans as
a first-priority interest (each a "Filing"). The Seller shall present each such
Filing to the Purchaser or its designee together with (x) an Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that such Filing is (i) consistent with the grant of the security
interest to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 19 of this Agreement, (ii)
satisfies all requirements and conditions to such Filing in this Agreement and
(iii) satisfies the requirements for a Filing of such type under the Uniform
Commercial Code in the applicable jurisdiction (or if the Uniform Commercial
Code does not apply, the applicable statute governing the perfection of security
interests), and (y) a form of authorization for the Purchaser's signature. Upon
receipt of such Opinion of Counsel and form of authorization, the Purchaser
shall promptly authorize in writing the Seller to, and the Seller shall, effect
such Filing under the UCC without the signature of the Seller or the Purchaser
where allowed by applicable law. Notwithstanding anything else in the
transaction documents to the contrary, the Seller shall not have any authority
to effect a Filing without obtaining written authorization from the Purchaser or
its designee.

$25,000,000 as demonstrated in its latest annual financial statements, a copy of
which is attached hereto.

         ___ SAVINGS AND LOAN. The Transferee (a) is a savings and loan

supervision by the insurance commissioner or a similar official or agency of a
State, territory or the District of Columbia.

         ___ STATE OR LOCAL PLAN. The Transferee is a plan established and
maintained by a State, its political subdivisions, or any agency or
instrumentality of the State or its political subdivisions, for the benefit of

                  3. The term "SECURITIES" as used herein DOES NOT INCLUDE (i)
securities of issuers that are affiliated with the Transferee, (ii) securities
that are part of an unsold allotment to or subscription by the Transferee, if
the Transferee is a dealer, (iii) securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. or

                  4. For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of
securities owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee, the
Transferee used the cost of such securities to the Transferee and did not
include any of the securities referred to in the preceding paragraph. Further,
in determining such aggregate amount, the Transferee may have included
securities owned by subsidiaries of the Transferee, but only if such
subsidiaries are consolidated with the Transferee in its financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and if the
investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the Transferee's direction.
However, such securities were not included if the Transferee is a
majority-owned, consolidated subsidiary of another enterprise and the Transferee

144A and understands that the Transferor and other parties related to the

                  6. If the answer to the foregoing question is "no", the
Transferee agrees that, in connection with any purchase of securities sold to
the Transferee for the account of a third party (including any separate account)
in reliance on Rule 144A, the Transferee will only purchase for the account of a
third party that at the time is a "qualified institutional buyer" within the
meaning of Rule 144A. In addition, the Transferee agrees that the Transferee
will not purchase securities for a third party unless the Transferee has
obtained a current representation letter from such third party or taken other
appropriate steps contemplated by Rule 144A to conclude that such third party
independently meets the definition of "qualified institutional buyer" set forth
in Rule 144A.

                  7. The Transferee will notify each of the parties to which
this certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions
herein. Until such notice is given, the Transferee's purchase of the
Certificates will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification as of the
date of such purchase. In addition, if the Transferee is a bank or savings and
loan as provided above, the Transferee agrees that it will furnish to such
parties updated annual financial statements promptly after they become
available.

                          : ss.:
COUNTY OF                 )

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

                  1. The undersigned is an officer of, the proposed Transferee
of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate (the "CERTIFICATE") issued
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of May 1, 2005 (the
"AGREEMENT"), among Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust Inc., as depositor (the
"DEPOSITOR"), Option One Mortgage Corporation, as servicer (the "SERVICER") and
Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as trustee (the "TRUSTEE"). Capitalized
terms used, but not defined herein or in Exhibit 1 hereto, shall have the
meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement. The Transferee has authorized
the undersigned to make this affidavit on behalf of the Transferee for the
benefit of the Depositor and the Trustee.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                  12. Check one of the following:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                  /_/ None of the above.

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

CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS;

ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES

	
            SECTION 2.01
 	
            Conveyance of the Mortgage Loans.
 

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

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

(i)         the original Mortgage Note, endorsed in blank or in the following form “Pay to the order of Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee under the applicable agreement, without recourse,” with all prior and intervening endorsements showing a complete chain of endorsement from the originator to the Person so endorsing to the Trustee;

(ii)         the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon, and the original recorded power of attorney, if the Mortgage was executed pursuant to a power of attorney, with evidence of recording thereon;

	
            (iii)
 	
            an original Assignment in blank;
 

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

(v)        the original or copies of each assumption, modification or substitution agreement, if any; and

(vi)        the original lender’s title insurance policy or, if the original title policy has not been issued, the irrevocable commitment to issue the same.

With respect to a maximum of approximately 2.0% of the Original Mortgage Loans, by outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the Original Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, if any original Mortgage Note referred to in Section 2.01(i) above cannot be located, the obligations of the Depositor to deliver such documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon 

 

 

delivery to the Trustee of a photocopy of such Mortgage Note, if available, with a lost note affidavit substantially in the form of Exhibit H attached hereto. If any of the original Mortgage Notes for which a lost note affidavit was delivered to the Trustee is subsequently located, such original Mortgage Note shall be delivered to the Trustee within three Business Days.

If any of the documents referred to in Sections 2.01(ii), (iii) or (iv) above has, as of the Closing Date, been submitted for recording but either (x) has not been returned from the applicable public recording office or (y) has been lost or such public recording office has retained the original of such document, the obligations of the Depositor to deliver such documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon (1) delivery to the Trustee of a copy of each such document certified by the Originator in the case of (x) above or the applicable public recording office in the case of (y) above to be a true and complete copy of the original that was submitted for recording and (2) if such copy is certified by the Originator, delivery to the Trustee promptly upon receipt thereof of either the original or a copy of such document certified by the applicable public recording office to be a true and
complete copy of the original. Notice shall be provided to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies by the Depositor if delivery pursuant to clause (2) above will be made more than 180 days after the Closing Date. If the original lender’s title insurance policy was not delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(vi) above, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, promptly after receipt thereof, the original lender’s title insurance policy. The Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee promptly upon receipt thereof any other original documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received with respect to any Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, any original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of any Mortgage Loan.

The Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to promptly (within sixty Business Days following the later of the Closing Date and the date of receipt by the Trustee of the recording information for a Mortgage, but in no event later than ninety days following the Closing Date) submit or cause to be submitted for recording, at the expense of the Responsible Party and at no expense to the Trust Fund, the Trustee or the Depositor, in the appropriate public office for real property records, each Assignment referred to in Sections 2.01(iii) and (iv) above and the Depositor shall execute each original Assignment or cause each original Assignment to be executed in the following form: “Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee under the applicable agreement.”  In the event that any such Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded
because of a defect therein, the Seller shall promptly prepare or cause to be prepared (at the expense of the Responsible Party) a substitute Assignment or cure or cause to be cured such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly recorded. If the Responsible Party is unable to pay the cost of recording the Assignments, such expense will be paid by the Trustee and shall be reimbursable to the Trustee as an Extraordinary Trust Fund Expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall not be responsible for determining whether any Assignment delivered by the Depositor hereunder is in recordable form.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, for administrative convenience and facilitation of servicing and to reduce closing costs, the Assignments shall not be required to be submitted for recording (except with respect to any Mortgage Loan located in Maryland) unless the Trustee or the Depositor receives written notice that such failure to record would result in a withdrawal or a downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of Certificates; provided, however, the Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Seller under the Mortgage 

 

 

Loan Purchase Agreement to submit or cause to be submitted each Assignment for recording in the manner described above, at no expense to the Trust Fund or the Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of:  (i) reasonable direction by Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights, (ii) the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Servicer, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02 hereof, (v) with respect to any one Assignment, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage and (vi) any Mortgage Loan that is 90 days or more Delinquent. Upon receipt of written notice by the Trustee from the Servicer that recording of the Assignments is required pursuant to one or more of the conditions set forth in the preceding
sentence, the Depositor shall be required to deliver such Assignments or shall cause such Assignments to be delivered within 30 days following receipt of such notice.

All original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans that are not delivered to the Trustee are and shall be held by or on behalf of the Seller, the Depositor or the Servicer, as the case may be, in trust for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. In the event that any such original document is required pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.01 to be a part of a Mortgage File, such document shall be delivered promptly to the Trustee. Any such original document delivered to or held by the Depositor that is not required pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, shall be delivered promptly to the Servicer.

The parties hereto understand and agree that it is not intended that any Mortgage Loan be included in the Trust that is a “high-cost home loan” as defined by the Homeownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 or any other applicable predatory or abusive lending laws.

The Depositor hereby directs the Trustee to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Cap Contracts on the Closing Date and thereafter on behalf of the Holders of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates. The Depositor, the Servicer and the Holders of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates by their acceptance of such Certificates acknowledge and agree that the Trustee shall execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Cap Contracts and shall do so solely in its capacity as Trustee of the Trust Fund and not in its individual capacity.

	
            SECTION 2.02
 	
            Acceptance of REMIC I by Trustee.
 

The Trustee, acknowledges receipt, subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to any exceptions noted on the exception report described in the next paragraph below, of the documents referred to in Section 2.01 (other than such documents described in Section 2.01(v)) above and all other assets included in the definition of “REMIC I” under clauses (i), (iii), (iv) and (v) (to the extent of amounts attributable thereto deposited into the Distribution Account) and declares that it holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting a Mortgage File, and that it holds or will hold all such assets and such other assets included in the definition of “REMIC I” in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.

The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to review each Mortgage File on or before the Closing Date and to certify in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 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 the exception report annexed thereto as not being covered by such certification), (i) all documents constituting part of such Mortgage File (other than such documents described in Section 2.01(v)) required to be delivered to it pursuant to this Agreement are in its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan and (iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items (i), (iii), (xi), (xii) and (xv) of the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File. It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review, the Trustee was under no duty or obligation (i) to inspect, review or examine
any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine whether they are genuine, enforceable, valid, legally binding, effective or appropriate for the represented purpose or whether they have actually been recorded or are in recordable form or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face, (ii) to determine whether any Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified in clause (v) of Section 2.01 or (iii) to determine the perfection or priority of any security interest in any such documents or instruments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in conducting the review described in this Section 2.02, the Trustee shall not be responsible for determining (i) if an Assignment is sufficient under the laws of the jurisdiction wherein the related Mortgaged Property is located to reflect of record the sale of the Mortgage or (ii) if a Mortgage creates a first lien on, or first priority security interest in, a Mortgaged Property.

Prior to the first anniversary date of this Agreement, the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor and the Servicer a final certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C-2 evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon, and the Servicer shall forward a copy thereof to any Sub-Servicer.

If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making or preparing, as the case may be, the certifications referred to above, the Trustee finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or defective in any material respect, at the conclusion of its review the Trustee shall so notify the Depositor and the Servicer. In addition, upon the discovery by the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties made by either the Responsible Party or the Seller in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.

The Trustee shall, at the written request and expense of any Certificateholder, provide a written report to such Certificateholder of all Mortgage Files released to the Servicer for servicing purposes.

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

 

 

and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Notes and the related documents, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

	
            SECTION 2.03
 	
            Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by the Responsible Party and the Seller.
 

(a)        Upon discovery or receipt of notice of any materially defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of the breach by the Responsible Party or the Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan that materially adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Seller, the Responsible Party and the Servicer of such defect, missing document or breach and request that the Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable, deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach within 60 days from the date the Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable, was notified of such missing document, defect or breach, and if the Responsible Party or the
Seller, as applicable, does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable, under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from REMIC I at the Purchase Price within 90 days after the date on which the Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable, was notified (subject to Section 2.03(c)) of such missing document, defect or breach, if and to the extent that the Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable, is obligated to do so under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be remitted to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account and the Trustee, upon receipt of written certification from the Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable, the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall
execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable, shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable, any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto. The Trustee shall not have any further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, if so provided in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable, may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from REMIC I (in which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(b); provided, however, the Responsible Party may not substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for any Deleted Mortgage Loan that violates any predatory or abusive lending law. It
is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Responsible Party and the Seller to cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee and the Certificateholders.

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

 

 

As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable, substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable, delivering to the Trustee, for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by Section 2.01, together with an Officers’ Certificate providing that each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Shortfall Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution. The Trustee shall acknowledge receipt for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within ten Business Days thereafter, shall
review such documents as specified in Section 2.02 and deliver to the Depositor and the Servicer, with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Within one year of the date of substitution, the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor and the Servicer a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 hereto with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of REMIC I and will be retained by the Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan on or before the Due Date in the month of substitution, and the Responsible Party or the Seller,
as applicable, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Depositor shall give or cause to be given written notice to the Certificateholders that such substitution has taken place, shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee. Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including, all applicable representations and warranties thereof included in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

For any month in which the Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable, substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Servicer will determine the amount (the “Substitution Shortfall Amount”), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate of, as to each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Stated Principal Balance thereof as of the date of substitution, together with one month’s interest on such Stated Principal Balance at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate, plus all outstanding Advances and Servicing Advances (including Nonrecoverable Advances and Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances) related thereto. On the date of such substitution, the Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable, will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Servicer for deposit in
the Collection Account an amount equal to the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if any, and the Trustee, upon receipt of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and certification by the Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable, the related Mortgage File or Files and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, the Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable, shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.

 

 

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

(c)        Upon discovery by the Depositor, 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 within two Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Responsible Party shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(b), substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Such repurchase or substitution shall be made by (i) the Responsible Party or the Seller, as the case may be, if the affected Mortgage Loan’s status as a non-qualified mortgage is or results from a breach of any
representation, warranty or covenant made by the Responsible Party or the Seller, as the case may be, under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, or (ii) the Depositor, if the affected Mortgage Loan’s status as a non-qualified mortgage is a breach of no representation or warranty. Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.03(a). The Trustee shall reconvey to the Responsible Party 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.

the Servicer is not a party to, bound by, or in breach or violation of any indenture or other agreement or instrument, or subject to or in violation of any statute, order or regulation of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over it, which materially and adversely affects or, to the Servicer’s knowledge, would in the future materially and adversely affect, (x) the ability of the Servicer to perform its obligations under this Agreement or (y) the business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets of the Servicer taken as a whole;

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING

OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS

	
            SECTION 3.01
 	
            Servicer to Act as Servicer.
 

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

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

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

	
            (iii)
 	
            the Servicer’s obligation to make Advances or Servicing Advances; or
 

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

To the extent consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer (a) shall seek to maximize the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage Notes and (b) shall waive (or permit a Sub-Servicer to waive) a Prepayment Charge only under the following circumstances: (i) such waiver is standard and customary in servicing similar Mortgage Loans and (ii) such waiver would, in the reasonable judgement of the Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan and, if such waiver is made in connection with a refinancing of the related Mortgage Loan, such refinancing is related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default or (iii) collection of the related Prepayment Charge would violate applicable law. If a Prepayment Charge is waived as permitted by meeting both of the standards described in
clauses (i) and (iii) above, then the Servicer is required to pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge, 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. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, any payments made by the Servicer in respect of any waived Prepayment Charges pursuant to clauses (i) and (iii) shall be deemed to be paid outside of the Trust Fund.

Subject only to the above-described servicing standards and the terms of this Agreement and of the respective Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through Sub-Servicers as provided in Section 3.02, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem 

 

 

necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer in its own name or in the name of a Sub-Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee when the Servicer believes it appropriate in its best judgment in accordance with the servicing standards set forth above, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trust Fund, the Certificateholders and the Trustee or any of them, and upon written notice to the Trustee, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the ownership of such properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such properties, on behalf of the Trustee and Certificateholders. The Servicer shall
service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable state and federal law and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be provided to them thereby. The Servicer shall also comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any standard hazard insurance policy. Subject to Section 3.17, the Trustee shall execute, at the written request of the Servicer, and furnish to the Servicer and any Sub-Servicer any special or limited powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer to carry out their servicing and administrative duties hereunder and the Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of the Servicer or any Sub-Servicers under such powers of attorney.

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

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer may not make any future advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan (except as provided in Section 4.03) and the Servicer shall not (i) permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Rate, reduce or increase the principal balance (except for reductions resulting from actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan (unless, as provided in Section 3.07, the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, 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 Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (B) cause any
Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions after the startup date” under the REMIC Provisions.

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

 

 

 

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

(a)        The Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with Sub-Servicers for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of Certificates. The Trustee is hereby authorized to acknowledge, at the request of the Servicer, any Sub-Servicing Agreement that, based on an Officers’ Certificate of the Servicer delivered to the Trustee (upon which the Trustee can conclusively rely), meets the requirements applicable to Sub-Servicing Agreements set forth in this Agreement and that is otherwise permitted under this Agreement.

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

(b)        As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, including, without limitation, any obligation of a Sub-Servicer to make advances in respect of delinquent payments as required by a Sub-Servicing Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements, and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the 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 enforcing the obligations of a Sub-Servicer at its own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed.

	
            SECTION 3.03
 	
            Successor Sub-Servicers.
 

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

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

	
            SECTION 3.05
 	
            No Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicers, the Trustee or the Certificateholders.
 

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

 

 

 

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

In the event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer (including by reason of the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default), the Trustee, its designee or other successor Servicer shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under each Sub-Servicing Agreement that the Servicer may have entered into, unless the Trustee, such designee or other successor Servicer elects to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with its terms as provided in Section 3.03. Upon such assumption, the Trustee, its designee or the successor Servicer for the Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 shall be deemed, subject to Section 3.03, to have assumed all of the Servicer’s interest therein and to have replaced the Servicer as a party to each Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if each Sub-Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the
assuming party, except that (i) the Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement that arose before it ceased to be the Servicer and (ii) none of the Trustee, its designee or any successor 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 Trustee, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by or on behalf of it, and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing Agreements to the assuming party.

The Servicing Fee payable to the Trustee as successor Servicer or other successor Servicer shall be payable from payments received on the Mortgage Loans in the amount and in the manner set forth in this Agreement.

	
            SECTION 3.07
 	
            Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.
 

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, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or, if applicable, any penalty interest, or (ii) extend the due dates for the Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not greater than 180 days; provided, however, 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 4.03 and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, 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 Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest or extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan), accept payment from the related 

 

 

Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated Principal Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan (such payment, a “Short Pay-off”), or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant indulgence to any Mortgagor.

	
            SECTION 3.08
 	
            Sub-Servicing Accounts.
 

In those cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer will be required to establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the “Sub-Servicing Account”). The Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall comply with all requirements of this Agreement relating to the Collection Account. The Sub-Servicer shall deposit in the clearing 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 Sub-Servicer’s receipt thereof, all proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by the Sub-Servicer less its servicing compensation to the extent permitted by the Sub-Servicing Agreement, and shall thereafter deposit such amounts in the Sub-Servicing
Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the receipt of such amounts. The Sub-Servicer shall thereafter deposit such proceeds in the Collection Account or remit such proceeds to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account not later than two Business Days after the deposit of such amounts in the Sub-Servicing Account. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on the Mortgage Loans when the Sub-Servicer receives such payments.

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

The Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more accounts (the “Servicing Accounts”), into which all collections from the Mortgagors (or related advances from Sub-Servicers) for the payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums and comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors (“Escrow Payments”) shall be deposited and retained. Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. The Servicer shall deposit in the clearing 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 Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans and shall thereafter deposit such Escrow Payments in the Servicing Accounts, in no
event more than two Business Days after the receipt of such Escrow Payments, all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans for the purpose of effecting the payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement. Withdrawals of amounts from a Servicing Account may be made only to (i) effect payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, and comparable items in a manner and at a time that assures that the lien priority of the Mortgage is not jeopardized (or, with respect to the payment of taxes, 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); (ii) reimburse the Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer to the extent provided in the related Sub-Servicing Agreement) out of related collections for any advances made pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to taxes and assessments) and Section 3.14 (with respect to hazard insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as
may be determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and as described below, to Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing Account; or (v) clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the termination of the Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities in respect of the 

 

 

Mortgage Loans under this Agreement in accordance with Article IX. As part of its servicing duties, the Servicer or Sub-Servicers shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in the Servicing Accounts, to the extent required by law and, to the extent that interest earned on funds in the Servicing Accounts is insufficient, to pay such interest from its or their own funds, without any reimbursement therefor.

	
            SECTION 3.10
 	
            Collection Account and Distribution Account.
 

(a)        On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more accounts (such account or accounts, the “Collection Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the clearing 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 Servicer’s receipt thereof, 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 Cut-off Date but allocable to a Due Period subsequent thereto:

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

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

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

(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 3.14(a) in respect of any blanket policy deductibles;

(vi)        all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased or purchased in accordance with Section 2.03, Section 3.16 or Section 9.01;

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

(viii)      all Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer in connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of the Mortgage Loans.

 

 

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, modification or assumption fees, or insufficient funds charges need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account and may be retained by the Servicer as additional compensation. 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)        On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Trustee shall establish and maintain one or more  accounts (such account or accounts, the “Distribution Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee, the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee in immediately available funds for deposit in the Distribution Account by 3:00 p.m. New York time (i) on the Servicer Remittance Date, that portion of the Available Distribution Amount (calculated without regard to the references in clause (2) of the definition thereof to amounts that may be withdrawn from the Distribution Account) for the related Distribution Date then on deposit in the Collection Account and the amount of all Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer in connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of
the Mortgage Loans then on deposit in the Collection Account and the amount of any funds reimbursable to an Advancing Person pursuant to Section 3.26 and (ii) on each Business Day as of the commencement of which the balance on deposit in the Collection Account exceeds $75,000 following any withdrawals pursuant to the next succeeding sentence, the amount of such excess, but only if the Collection Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of “Eligible Account.”  If the balance on deposit in the Collection Account exceeds $75,000 as of the commencement of business on any Business Day and the Collection Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of “Eligible Account,” the Servicer shall, by 3:00 p.m. New York time on such Business Day, withdraw from the Collection Account any and all amounts payable or reimbursable to the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Responsible
Party, the Seller or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11 and shall pay such amounts to the Persons entitled thereto.

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

(d)        Funds held in the Collection Account at any time may be delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee for deposit in an account (which may be the Distribution Account and must satisfy the standards for the Distribution Account as set forth in the definition thereof) and for all purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a part of the Collection Account (and in such event, the Servicer shall provide the Trustee with written instructions regarding the investment of such funds); provided, however, that the Trustee shall have the sole authority to withdraw any funds held pursuant to this subsection (d). In the event the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time request in writing that the Trustee withdraw such amount from the Distribution
Account and remit to it any such amount, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In no event shall the Trustee incur liability as a result of withdrawals from the 

 

 

Distribution Account at the direction of the Servicer in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. In addition, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee from time to time for deposit, and the Trustee shall so deposit, in the Distribution Account:

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

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

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

(iv)        any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.24 in connection with any Prepayment Interest Shortfall.

(e)        The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12(b) in connection with losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the Collection Account (and the Distribution Account to the extent that funds therein are deemed to be part of the Collection Account).

	
            SECTION 3.11
 	
            Withdrawals from the Collection Account and Distribution 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 4.03:

(i)         to remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account the amounts required to be so remitted pursuant to Section 3.10(b) or permitted to be so remitted pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3.10(d);

(ii)         subject to Section 3.16(d), to reimburse the Servicer for Advances, but only to the extent of amounts received which represent Late Collections (net of the related Servicing Fees) of Monthly Payments on Mortgage Loans with respect to which such Advances were made in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.03;

(iii)        subject to Section 3.16(d), to pay the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer, as applicable, (a) any unpaid Servicing Fees, (b) any unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to each Mortgage Loan, but only to the extent of any Late Collections, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and Subsequent Recoveries received with respect to such Mortgage Loan and (c) any Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances with respect to the final liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, but only to the extent that Late Collections, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and Subsequent Recoveries received with respect to such Mortgage Loan are insufficient to reimburse the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for Servicing Advances;

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

 

 

(v)        to pay to the Servicer, the Depositor, the Responsible Party or the Seller, as the case may be, with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has previously been purchased or replaced pursuant to Section 2.03 or Section 3.16(c) all amounts received thereon subsequent to the date of purchase or substitution, as the case may be;

(vi)        to reimburse the Servicer for any Advance previously made which the Servicer has determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.03;

(vii)       to reimburse the Servicer or the Depositor for expenses incurred by or reimbursable to the Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 3.02(b) and Section 6.03;

(viii)      to reimburse the Servicer or Trustee for expenses reasonably incurred in connection with any breach or defect giving rise to the purchase obligation under Section 2.03 of this Agreement, including any expenses arising out of the enforcement of the purchase obligation;

(ix)        to pay, or to reimburse the Servicer for Servicing Advances in respect of, expenses incurred in connection with any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.16(b); and

	
            (x)
 	
            to clear and terminate the Collection Account pursuant to Section 9.01.
 

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 (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (viii) and (ix) above. The Servicer shall provide written notification to the Trustee, on or prior to the next succeeding Servicer Remittance Date, upon making any withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to subclauses (vi) and (vii) above; provided that an Officers’ Certificate in the form described under Section 4.03(d) shall suffice for such written notification to the Trustee in respect of clause (vi) hereof.

(b)        The Trustee shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Distribution Account, for any of the following purposes, without priority:

(i)         to make distributions to Certificateholders in accordance with Section 4.01;

(ii)         to pay to itself amounts to which it is entitled pursuant to Section 8.05 or for Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses;

	
            (iii)
 	
            to reimburse itself pursuant to Section 7.02;
 	
             

	
            (iv)
 	
            to pay any amounts in respect of taxes pursuant to Section 10.01(g)(iii);
 

(v)        to pay to an Advancing Person reimbursements for Advances and/or Servicing Advances pursuant to Section 3.26; and

 

 

 

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

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

(a)        The Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection Account (for purposes of this Section 3.12, an “Investment Account”) to invest the funds in such Investment Account in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the Trustee is the obligor thereon, and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Trustee is the obligor thereon. Amounts in the Distribution Account shall be held uninvested. 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 Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Trustee 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 Trustee or its agent, together with any document of transfer necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Trustee or its nominee. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the party with investment discretion over such Investment Account shall:

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

(y)        demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee 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 any REO 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 accordance with Section 3.11 or Section 3.23, as applicable. The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account or any REO Account, as applicable, 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)        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 (of which a Responsible Officer of the  Trustee obtains actual knowledge), the Trustee may and, subject to Section 8.01 and Section 8.02(v), upon the request of the Holders of Certificates representing more than 50% of the Voting Rights allocated to any Class of Certificates, shall take such action as may be 

 

 

appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.

(d)        The Trustee or its Affiliates are permitted to receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the Trustee’s 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. Such compensation shall not be considered an amount that is reimbursable or payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.11 or 3.12 or otherwise payable in respect of Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses.

	
            SECTION 3.13
 	
            [Reserved].
 

	
            SECTION 3.14
 	
            Maintenance of Hazard Insurance and 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 lesser of the current principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and 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, 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 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 the 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 received in respect of a Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.23, if received in respect of an REO Property. Any cost incurred by the Servicer in
maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property or REO Property is at any time in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards 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 unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the
related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance 

 

 

program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is participating in such program).

In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy with an insurer having a General Policy Rating of A:X or better in Best’s Key Rating Guide (or such other rating that is comparable to such rating) insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the first two sentences of this Section 3.14, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with the first two sentences of this Section 3.14, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such policy, deposit to the Collection Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket
policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholders, 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, which policy or policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac if it were the purchaser of the Mortgage Loans, unless the Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The Servicer shall also maintain a fidelity bond in the form and amount that would meet the requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, unless the Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. 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 Sub-Servicer to maintain a policy of insurance covering errors and omissions and a fidelity bond which would meet such requirements.

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

The Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any Mortgagor (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the “due-on-sale” clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided, however, that the 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 Originator and has a credit risk rating at least equal to that of the original Mortgagor. In connection with any assumption or substitution, the Servicer shall apply the Originator’s 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. Any fee collected by the Servicer in respect of an assumption, modification or substitution of liability agreement shall 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 Rate and the amount of the Monthly Payment) may be amended or modified, except as otherwise required pursuant to the terms thereof. 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, modification 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 whatever. For purposes of this Section 3.15, the term “assumption” is deemed to also include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property) subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability agreement.

	
            SECTION 3.16
 	
            Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
 

(a)        The Servicer shall exercise its discretion, consistent with customary servicing procedures and the terms of this Agreement, with respect to the enforcement and servicing of defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest with respect thereto, including, but not limited to, the modification of such Mortgage Loan, or foreclosure upon the related Mortgaged Property and disposition thereof.

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.07. The Servicer shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that such costs and expenses will be recoverable as Servicing Advances by the Servicer as contemplated in Section 3.11 and Section 3.23. The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it
shall determine in its 

 

 

discretion that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself for such expenses.

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

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

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

The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 3.16 shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.11(a)(ix), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.

If the Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund; provided that any amounts disbursed by the Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.16(b) shall constitute Servicing Advances, subject to Section 4.03(d). The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as
provided in Section 3.11(a)(iii) and (a)(ix), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to receive 

 

 

any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.

(c)        The Servicer may at its option purchase from REMIC I any Mortgage Loan or related REO Property that is 90 days or more delinquent, which the Servicer determines in good faith will otherwise become subject to foreclosure proceedings (evidence of such determination to be delivered in writing to the Trustee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee prior to purchase), at a price equal to the Purchase Price; provided, however, that the Servicer shall purchase any such Mortgage Loans or related REO Properties on the basis of delinquency, purchasing the most delinquent Mortgage Loans or related REO Properties first. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan or related REO Property purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the Collection Account, and the Trustee, upon receipt of written certification from the Servicer of such deposit,
shall release or cause to be released to the Servicer the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Servicer shall furnish and as shall be necessary to vest in the Servicer title to any Mortgage Loan or related REO Property released pursuant hereto.

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

	
            SECTION 3.17
 	
            Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
 

(a)        Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer will immediately notify or cause to be notified the Trustee by a certification in the form of Exhibit E (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.10 have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Trustee shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer at no cost to the Trustee or the Trust Fund. No expenses incurred in connection with any
instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection Account or the Distribution Account.

 

 

(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 shall, upon any request made by or on behalf of the Servicer and delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit E, release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer, and the Trustee shall, at the direction of the Servicer, execute such documents as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. Such Request for Release shall obligate the Servicer to return each and every document previously requested from the Mortgage File to the Trustee 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, or caused to be delivered, to the Trustee an additional Request for Release certifying as to such liquidation or action or proceedings. Upon the request of the Trustee, the Servicer shall provide notice to the Trustee of the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation that are required to be deposited into the Collection Account have been so
deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, any outstanding Requests for Release with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall be released by the Trustee to the Servicer or its designee.

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

	
            SECTION 3.18
 	
            Servicing Compensation.
 

As compensation for the activities of the Servicer hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan payable solely from payments of interest in respect of such Mortgage Loan, subject to Section 3.24. In addition, the Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees out of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries to the extent permitted by Section 3.11(a)(iii) and out of amounts derived from the operation and sale of an REO Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.23. Except as provided in Sections 3.26, 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
Sub-Servicer pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into under Section 3.02.

 

 

Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption or modification fees, late payment charges, insufficient funds charges or otherwise (subject to Section 3.24 and other than Prepayment Charges) 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 Section 3.11(a)(iv) to withdraw from the Collection Account and pursuant to Section 3.23(b) to withdraw from any REO Account, as additional servicing compensation, interest or other income earned on deposits therein, subject to Section 3.12 and Section 3.24. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including premiums for the insurance required by Section 3.14, to the extent such premiums are not paid by the related Mortgagors or by a Sub-Servicer, servicing
compensation of each Sub-Servicer, and to the extent provided herein in Section 8.05, the expenses of the Trustee) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided herein.

	
            SECTION 3.19
 	
            Reports to the Trustee and Others; Collection Account Statements.
 

Not later than twenty days after each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall forward to the Trustee (upon the Trustee’s request) and the Depositor the most current available bank statement for the Collection Account. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon request at the expense of the requesting party, provided such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee.

	
            SECTION 3.20
 	
            Statement as to Compliance.
 

Not later than March 1 of each calendar year commencing in 2006, the Servicer will deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor an Officers’ Certificate (upon which the Trustee can conclusively rely in connection with its obligations under Section 4.06) substantially in the form of Exhibit J attached hereto 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 has been made under such officer’s supervision and (ii) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such calendar year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. Copies of any such statement shall
be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon request at the expense of the requesting party, provided such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee.

	
            SECTION 3.21
 	
            Independent Public Accountants’ Servicing Report.
 

Not later than March 1 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 Servicer 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 Sub-Servicers, 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 Sub-Servicers. Immediately upon receipt of such report, the Servicer shall, at its own expense, furnish a copy of such report to the Trustee and each Rating Agency. Copies of
such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder upon request, provided that such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee.

	
            SECTION 3.22
 	
            Access to Certain Documentation.
 

The Servicer shall provide to the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC, and any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner, access to the documentation in the Servicer’s possession regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable laws and regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it. In addition, access to the documentation in the Servicer’s possession regarding the Mortgage Loans will be provided to any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner, the Trustee and to any Person identified to the Servicer as a prospective transferee of a Certificate; provided, however, that providing access to such Person will not violate any applicable laws, upon reasonable
request during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it at the expense of the Person requesting such access.

	
            SECTION 3.23
 	
            Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.
 

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

 

 

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

(c)        The Servicer shall have the sole discretion to determine whether an immediate sale of an REO Property or continued management of such REO Property is in the best interests of the Certificateholders. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with any REO Property as are consistent with the manner in which the Servicer manages and operates similar property owned by the Servicer or any of its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period as the Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Certificateholders. In connection therewith, the Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited in the clearing 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 REO Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the Servicer’s receipt thereof, all revenues received by it with respect to an REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO Property including, without limitation:

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

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

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

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not and the Trustee shall not knowingly authorize the Servicer to:

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

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

 

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Servicer by such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of whether the Servicer’s compensation pursuant to Section 3.18 is sufficient to pay such fees; provided, however, that to the extent that any payments made by such Independent Contractor would constitute Servicing Advances if made by the Servicer, such amounts shall be reimbursable as Servicing Advances made by the Servicer.

 

 

(d)        In addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section 3.23(c), the Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the REO Account for any REO Property: (i) to pay itself or any Sub-Servicer unpaid Servicing Fees in respect of the related Mortgage Loan; and (ii) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances made in respect of such REO Property or the related Mortgage Loan. On the Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account maintained by it and deposit into the Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii), for distribution on the related Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01, the income from the related REO Property received during the prior calendar month, net of any withdrawals made pursuant to Section 3.23(c) or this Section 3.23(d).

(e)        Subject to the time constraints set forth in Section 3.23(a), each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Servicer shall deem necessary or advisable, as shall be normal and usual in its Accepted Servicing Practices.

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

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

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

The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit into the Distribution Account by 1:00 p.m. New York time on the Servicer Remittance Date from its own funds an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for the related Distribution Date resulting from full or partial Principal Prepayments during the related Prepayment Period and (ii) the aggregate Servicing Fee for the related Prepayment Period. Any amounts paid by the Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.24 shall not be reimbursed by any Trust REMIC or the Trust Fund.

	
            SECTION 3.25
 	
            Obligations of the Servicer in Respect of Mortgage Rates and Monthly Payments.
 

In the event that a shortfall in any collection on or liability with respect to any Mortgage Loan results from or is attributable to adjustments to Mortgage Rates, Monthly Payments or Stated Principal Balances that were made by the Servicer in a manner not consistent 

 

 

with the terms of the related Mortgage Note and this Agreement, the Servicer, upon discovery or receipt of notice thereof, immediately shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account from its own funds the amount of any such shortfall and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor and any successor Servicer in respect of any such liability. Such indemnities shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 3.25 shall not limit the ability of the Servicer to seek recovery of any such amounts from the related Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Note, as permitted by law.

	
            SECTION 3.26
 	
            Advance Facility.
 

(a)        The Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into a facility with any Person which provides that such Person (an “Advancing Person”) may fund Advances and/or Servicing Advances to the Trust Fund under this Agreement, although no such facility shall reduce or otherwise affect the Servicer’s obligation to fund such Advances and/or Servicing Advances. If the Servicer enters into such an Advance Facility pursuant to this Section 3.26, upon reasonable request of the Advancing Person, the Trustee shall execute a letter of acknowledgment, confirming its receipt of notice of the existence of such Advance Facility. If the Trustee enters into such an Advance Facility pursuant to this Section 3.26, the Servicer shall also be a party to such Advance Facility. To the extent that an Advancing Person funds any Advance or any Servicing
Advance and the Servicer provides the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate that such Advancing Person is entitled to reimbursement, such Advancing Person shall be entitled to receive reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement for such amount to the extent provided in Section 3.26(b). Such Officers’ Certificate must specify the amount of the reimbursement, the Section of this Agreement that permits the applicable Advance or Servicing Advance to be reimbursed and the section(s) of the Advance Facility that entitle the Advancing Person to request reimbursement from the Trustee, rather than the Servicer or proof of an Event of Default under the Advance Facility. The Trustee shall have no duty or liability with respect to any calculation of any reimbursement to be paid to an Advancing Person and shall be entitled to rely without independent investigation on the Advancing Person’s notice provided pursuant to this Section 3.26. The Trustee shall have no responsibility to track
or monitor the administration of the Advance Facility. An Advancing Person whose obligations hereunder are limited to the funding of Advances and/or Servicing Advances shall not be required to meet the qualifications of the Servicer or a Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.02 hereof and will not be deemed to be a Sub-Servicer under this Agreement.

(b)        If an advancing facility is entered into, then the Servicer shall not be permitted to reimburse itself therefor under Section 3.11(a)(ii), Section 3.11(a)(iii) and Section 3.11(a)(vi) prior to the remittance to the Trust Fund, but instead the Servicer shall remit such amounts in accordance with the documentation establishing the Advance Facility to such Advancing Person or to a trustee, agent or custodian (an “Advance Facility Trustee”) designated by such Advancing Person. The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay to the Advancing Person, reimbursements for Advances and Servicing Advances from the Distribution Account to the same extent the Servicer would have been permitted to reimburse itself for such Advances and/or Servicing Advances in accordance with  3.11(a)(ii), Section 3.11(a)(iii) and  Section 3.11(a)(vi), as the case may
be, had the Servicer itself funded such Advance or Servicing Advance. The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay directly to the Advancing Person such portion of the Servicing Fee as the parties to any advancing facility agree in writing.

 

 

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

(d)        Any amendment to this Section 3.26 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 3.26, including amendments to add provisions relating to a successor Servicer, may be entered into by the Trustee and the Servicer without the consent of any Certificateholder, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement; provided, however, such amendment shall otherwise comply with Section 11.01 hereof. All costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of each party hereto related to such amendment shall be borne by the Servicer without reimbursement from the Trust Fund.

	
            SECTION 3.27
 	
            [Reserved].
 	
             

	
            SECTION 3.28
 	
            Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.
 

(a)        No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain with itself, as agent for the Trustee, a separate, segregated trust account titled, “Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee, in trust for the registered holders of Carrington Mortgage Loan Trust, Series 2005-NC2, Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates.”  On the Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, the Trustee will deposit any amounts received under the Cap Contracts into the Net WAC Carryover Reserve Account. All amounts deposited in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates in the manner set forth in Section 4.01(a)(4).

(b)        On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount payable to the Class A Certificates or the Mezzanine Certificates, the Trustee  has been directed by the Class CE Certificateholders to, and therefore will, deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account the amounts described in Section 4.01(a)(4), rather than distributing such amounts to the Class CE Certificateholders. On each such Distribution Date, the Trustee shall hold all such amounts for the benefit of the Holders of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates, and will distribute such amounts to the Holders of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates in the amounts and priorities set forth in Section 4.01(a).

(c)        For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class CE Certificateholders will be deemed to be the owners of the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account and amounts deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account (other than amounts paid on the Cap Contracts) shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC II to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates. Upon the termination of the Trust Fund, or the payment in full of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will be released by the Trust Fund and distributed to the Class CE Certificateholders or their designees. The Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will be part of the Trust Fund but not part of any REMIC and any payments to the Holders of the Class A Certificates or the Mezzanine
Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts will not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860(G)(a)(1).

 

 

(d)        By accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE Certificateholder hereby agrees to direct the Trustee, and the Trustee hereby is directed, to deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account the amounts described above on each Distribution Date as to which there is any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount rather than distributing such amounts to the Class CE Certificateholders. By accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE Certificateholder further agrees that such direction is given for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by such acceptance.

(e)        Amounts on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall remain uninvested.

(f)         For federal tax return and information reporting, the right of the Holders of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates to receive payments from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account in respect of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount shall be assigned a value of $205,000 and $256,000, respectively.

to the Corresponding Certificates, until the Uncertificated Balances of such REMIC I Regular Interests are reduced to zero; and second, to the Holders of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, (less the amount payable in clause (c) below), until the Uncertificated Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest is reduced to zero; then

(b)        to the Holders of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTP, on the Distribution Date immediately following the expiration of the latest Prepayment Charge as identified on the Prepayment Charge Schedule or any Distribution Date thereafter until $100 has been distributed pursuant to this clause; and

(c)        any remaining amount to the Holders of the Class R Certificates (as Holder of the Class R-I Interest);

provided, however, that 98.00% and 2.00% of any principal payments that are attributable to an Overcollateralization Reduction Amount shall be allocated to Holders of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, respectively.

(2)        On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw from the Distribution Account an amount equal to the Interest Remittance Amount and distribute to the Certificateholders the following amounts, in the following order of priority:

(i)         to the Holders of each Class of the Class A Certificates, on a pro rata basis based on the entitlement of each such Class, an amount equal to the Senior Interest Distribution Amount allocable to such Class of the Class A Certificates; and

(ii)         sequentially, to the Holders of the Class M-1 Certificates, Class M-2 Certificates, Class M-3 Certificates, Class M-4 Certificates, Class M-5 Certificates, Class M-6 Certificates, Class M-7 Certificates, Class M-8 Certificates and Class M-9 Certificates, in that order, an amount equal to the Interest Distribution Amount allocable to each such Class.

(A)       On each Distribution Date (a) prior to the Stepdown Date or (b) on which a Trigger Event is in effect, the Principal Distribution Amount shall be distributed in the following order of priority:

(i)         sequentially, to the Holders of the Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates and Class A-3 Certificates, in that order, until the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A Certificates has been reduced to zero; and

(ii)         sequentially, to the holders of the Class M-1 Certificates, Class M-2 Certificates, Class M-3 Certificates, Class M-4 Certificates, Class M-5 Certificates, Class M-6 Certificates, Class M-7 Certificates and Class M-9 Certificates, in that order, until the Certificate Principal Balance of each such Class has been reduced to zero.

(i)         sequentially, to the Holders of the Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates and Class A-3 Certificates, in that order, up to an amount equal to the Class A Principal Distribution Amount, until the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A Certificates has been reduced to zero; and

(ii)         sequentially, to the Holders of the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6 Certificates, Class M-7 Certificates, Class M-8 Certificates an Class M-9 Certificates in that order, in each case, in an amount equal to the Interest Carry Forward Amount allocable to such Class of Certificates;

(iii)        sequentially to the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class M-7, Class M-8 and Class M-9 Certificates, in that order, in each case up to the related Allocated Realized Loss Amount related to each such Class of Certificates for such Distribution Date;

(vi)        to the Holders of the Class R Certificates, any remaining amounts; provided that if such Distribution Date is the Distribution Date immediately following the expiration of the latest Prepayment Charge term on a Mortgage Loan as identified on the 

 

 

Mortgage Loan Schedule or any Distribution Date thereafter, then any such remaining amounts will be distributed first, to the Holders of the Class P Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and second, to the Holders of the Class R Certificates.

On each Distribution Date, after making the distributions of the Available Distribution Amount as set forth above, the Trustee will withdraw from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, to the extent of amounts remaining on deposit therein, the amount of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount with respect to the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates for such Distribution Date and distribute such amount as follows:

(C)       to the Class A Certificates and Mezzanine Certificates, any related unpaid Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount (after taking into account distributions pursuant to (A) and (B) above), distributed in the following order of priority:

 

                               

	
            (i)
 	
            to the Class A Certificates, on a pro rata basis based on the remaining Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount for each such class;
 
	
            (ii)

            to the Class M-9 Certificates.
 

 

(b)        On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw any amounts then on deposit in the Distribution Account that represent Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer in connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of the Mortgage Loans or any Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amount and shall distribute such amounts to the Holders 

 

 

of the Class P Certificates. Such distributions shall not be applied to reduce the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class P Certificates.

Following the foregoing distributions, an amount equal to the amount of Subsequent Recoveries shall be applied to increase the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates with the Highest Priority up to the extent of such Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04. An amount equal to the amount of any remaining Subsequent Recoveries shall be applied to increase the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates with the next Highest Priority, up to the amount of such Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04. Holders of such Certificates will not be entitled to any distribution in respect of interest on the amount of such increases for any Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on which such increase occurs. Any such increases shall be applied to
the Certificate Principal Balance of each Certificate of such Class in accordance with its respective Percentage Interest.

(c)        All distributions made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests. Payments in respect of each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be made to the Holders of the respective Class of record on the related Record Date (except as otherwise provided in Section 4.01(e) or Section 9.01 respecting the final distribution on such Class), based on the aggregate Percentage Interest represented by their respective Certificates, and shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of any such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Holder shall have so notified the Trustee
in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date, or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trustee maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12 or such other location specified in the notice to  Certificateholders of such final distribution.

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

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

 

 

(e)        Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the Trustee expects that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, no later than three (3) days before the related Distribution Date (to the extent that an accurate Remittance Report is received in a timely manner by the Trustee), mail to each Holder on such date of such Class of Certificates a notice to the effect that:

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

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

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

            SECTION 4.03
 	
            Remittance Reports; Advances.
 

(a)        On the Business Day following each Determination Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee by telecopy (or by such other means as the Servicer or the Trustee may agree from time to time) a Remittance Report with respect to the related Distribution Date. On the same date, the Servicer shall electronically transmit (in a format acceptable to the Trustee), a data file containing the information set forth in such Remittance Report with respect to the related Distribution Date or if electronic transmission is not available, the Servicer shall forward to the Trustee by overnight mail a computer readable magnetic tape. Such Remittance Report will include (i) the amount of Advances to be made by the Servicer in respect of the related Distribution Date, the aggregate amount of Advances outstanding after giving effect to such Advances, and the
aggregate amount of Nonrecoverable Advances in respect of such Distribution Date and (ii) such other information with respect to the Mortgage Loans as the Trustee may reasonably require to perform the calculations necessary to make the distributions contemplated by Section 4.01 and to prepare the statements to Certificateholders contemplated by Section 4.02. The Trustee shall not be responsible to recompute, recalculate or verify any information provided to it by the Servicer.

(b)        The amount of Advances to be made by the Servicer for any Distribution Date shall equal, subject to Section 4.03(d), the sum of, (i) the aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (with each interest portion thereof net of the related Servicing Fee), due on the related Due Date in respect of the Mortgage Loans, which Monthly Payments were delinquent as of the close of business on the related Determination Date and (ii) with respect to each REO Property, which REO Property was acquired during or prior to the related Prepayment Period and as to which REO Property an REO Disposition did not occur during the related Prepayment Period, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the REO Imputed Interest on such REO Property for the most recently ended calendar month, over the net income from such REO Property transferred to the Distribution Account
pursuant to Section 3.23 for distribution on such Distribution Date; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be required to make Advances with respect to Relief Act Interest Shortfalls or Prepayment Interest Shortfalls in excess of their respective obligations under Section 3.24.

By 1:00 p.m. New York time on the Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit in immediately available funds to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties for the related Distribution Date either (i) from its own funds or (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 4.03, used by the Servicer in discharge of any such Advance) or (iii) in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of 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 before any future Servicer Remittance Date to the extent that the Available Distribution Amount for the related Distribution Date (determined without regard to Advances to be made on the Servicer Remittance Date) shall be less than the total amount that would be distributed to the Classes of Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.01 on such Distribution Date if such amounts held for future distributions had not 

 

 

been so used to make Advances. The Trustee will provide notice to the Servicer by telecopy by the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date in the event that the amount remitted by the Servicer to the Trustee on such date is less than the amount required to be remitted by the Servicer as set forth in the Remittance Report for the related Distribution Date.

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

(d)        Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Advance or Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the Servicer if such Advance or Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, respectively. The determination by the Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed Advance or Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, respectively, shall be evidenced by a certification of a Servicing Officer delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee.

	
            SECTION 4.04
 	
            Allocation of Realized Losses.
 

(a)        Prior to each Determination Date, the Servicer shall determine as to each Mortgage Loan and REO Property: (i) the total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any Final Recovery Determinations made during the related Prepayment Period; (ii) whether and the extent to which such Realized Losses constituted Bankruptcy Losses; and (iii) the respective portions of such Realized Losses allocable to interest and allocable to principal. Prior to each Determination Date, the Servicer shall also determine as to each Mortgage Loan: (i) the total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any Deficient Valuations made during the related Prepayment Period; and (ii) the total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with Debt Service Reductions in respect of Monthly Payments due during the
related Due Period. The information described in the two preceding sentences that is to be supplied by the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee by the Servicer prior to the Determination Date immediately following the end of (i) in the case of Bankruptcy Losses allocable to interest, the Due Period during which any such Realized Loss was incurred, and (ii) in the case of all other Realized Losses, the Prepayment Period during which any such Realized Loss was incurred.

(b)        All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date as follows: first, to the Accrued Certificate Interest for the Class CE Certificates for the related Interest Accrual Period; second, to the Class CE Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; third, to the Class M-9 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the Class M-8 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance has been reduced to zero; fifth to the Class M-7 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance has been reduced to zero; sixth, Class M-6 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; seventh, to the Class M-5 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance 

 

 

thereof has been reduced to zero; eighth, to the Class M-4 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; ninth, to the Class M-3 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, tenth, to the Class M-2 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero and eleventh, to the Class M-1 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero.

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

Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Mezzanine Certificate on any Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance thereof by the amount so allocated and any allocation of Realized Losses to a Class CE Certificates shall be made by reducing the amount otherwise payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(4)(v). No allocations of any Realized Losses shall be made to the Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A Certificates or the Class P Certificates.

As used herein, an allocation of a Realized Loss on a “pro rata basis” among two or more specified Classes of Certificates means an allocation on a pro rata basis, among the various Classes so specified, to each such Class of Certificates on the basis of their then outstanding Certificate Principal Balances prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date. All Realized Losses and all other losses allocated to a Class of Certificates hereunder will be allocated among the Certificates of such Class in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby.

(c)        All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date to the following REMIC I Regular Interests in the specified percentages, as follows: first, to Uncertificated Interest payable to the REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the REMIC I Interest Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%, respectively; second, to the Uncertificated Balances of the REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the REMIC I Principal Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%, respectively; third, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM9 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I
Regular Interest I-LTM9 has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM8 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM8 has been reduced to zero; fifth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM7 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM7 has been reduced to zero; sixth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM6 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM6 has been 

 

 

reduced to zero; seventh, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM5 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM5 has been reduced to zero; eighth to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM4 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM4 has been reduced to zero; ninth to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM3 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM3 has been reduced to zero; tenth to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTM2 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM2 has been reduced to zero; and eleventh, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM1 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM1 has been reduced to zero.

	
            SECTION 4.05
 	
            Compliance with Withholding Requirements
 

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

	
            SECTION 4.06
 	
            Exchange Commission; Additional Information.
 

Within 15 days after each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, in accordance with applicable law, file with the Commission via the Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System (“EDGAR”), a Form 8-K (or other comparable Form containing the same or comparable information or other information mutually agreed upon) with a copy of the statement to the Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to January 30 in each year, the Trustee shall, in accordance with applicable law and only if instructed by the Depositor, file a Form 15 Suspension Notice with respect to the Trust Fund, if applicable. Prior to (i) March 15, 2006 and (ii) unless and until a Form 15 Suspension Notice shall have been filed, prior to March 15 of each year thereafter, the Servicer shall provide the Trustee and the Depositor with a Servicer Certification, substantially in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit I-1 which shall be signed by the senior officer of the Servicer in charge of securitization, together with a copy of the annual independent accountant’s servicing report and annual statement of compliance to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement and each Sub-Servicer, in each case, required to be delivered pursuant to the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, and, if applicable, the annual independent accountant’s servicing report and annual statement of compliance to be delivered by the Servicer pursuant to Sections 3.20 and 3.21. In addition, the Trustee shall sign a certification (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I-2) for the benefit of the Servicer and its officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain aspects of the Servicer Certification (the “Trustee Certification”) (provided, however, that the Trustee shall not undertake an analysis of the 

 

 

accountant’s report attached as an exhibit to the Form 10-K). Prior to (i) March 31, 2006 and (ii) unless and until a Form 15 Suspension Notice shall have been filed, March 31 of each year thereafter, the Trustee shall file a Form 10-K, in substance as required by applicable law or applicable Security and Exchange Commission staff’s interpretations.

Such power of attorney shall continue until either the earlier of (i) receipt by the Trustee from the Depositor of written termination of such power of attorney and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Servicer, and not the Trustee, shall be responsible for executing each Form 10-K filed on behalf of the Trust. The Depositor agrees to promptly furnish to the Trustee, from time to time upon request, such further information, reports and financial statements within its control related to this Agreement, the Mortgage Loans as the Trustee reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the Commission. If they are not so timely delivered, the Trustee shall file an amended Form 10-K including such documents as exhibits reasonably promptly after they are delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee shall have no liability with respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such periodic reports resulting from or relating to the Trustee’s inability or failure to obtain any information not resulting from its own negligence or willful misconduct. The Trustee shall have no responsibility to file any items other than those specified in this Section
4.06; provided, however, the Trustee and the Servicer will cooperate with the Depositor in connection with any additional filings with respect to the Trust Fund as the Depositor deems necessary under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Copies of all reports filed by the Trustee under the Exchange Act shall be sent to: the Depositor c/o Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc., Attn: Managing Director-Analysis and Control, One Metrotech Center North, Brooklyn, New York 11202-3859.

THE CERTIFICATES

	
            SECTION 5.01
 	
            The Certificates.
 

(a)        The Certificates in the aggregate will represent the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other assets included in REMIC I.

The Certificates will be substantially in the forms annexed hereto as Exhibits A-1 through A-15. The Certificates of each Class will be issuable in registered form only, in denominations of authorized Percentage Interests as described in the definition thereof. Each Certificate will share ratably in all rights of the related Class.

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

(b)        The Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates shall initially be issued as one or more Certificates held by the Book-Entry Custodian or, if appointed to hold such Certificates as provided below, the Depository and registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and, except as provided below, registration of such Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository that agrees to hold such Certificates for the respective Certificate Owners with Ownership Interests therein. The Certificate Owners shall hold their respective Ownership Interests in and to such Certificates through the book-entry facilities of the Depository and, except as provided below, shall not be entitled to definitive, fully registered Certificates (“Definitive Certificates”) in respect of such Ownership Interests.
All transfers by Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer the Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s normal procedures. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed as the Book-Entry Custodian and hereby agrees to act as such in accordance herewith and in accordance with the agreement that it has with the Depository authorizing it to act as such. The Book-Entry Custodian may, and, if it is no longer qualified to act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian shall, appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and, if the Trustee is not the Book-Entry Custodian, the Trustee, any
other transfer agent (including the Depository or any successor Depository) to act as Book-Entry Custodian under such conditions as the predecessor 

 

 

Book-Entry Custodian and the Depository or any successor Depository may prescribe, provided that the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities by reason of any such appointment of other than the Depository. If the Trustee resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, the successor Trustee or, if it so elects, the Depository shall immediately succeed to its predecessor’s duties as Book-Entry Custodian. The Depositor shall have the right to inspect, and to obtain copies of, any Certificates held as Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian.

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

If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor or (ii) after the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default, Certificate Owners representing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the Ownership Interests of the Book-Entry Certificates advise the Trustee through the Depository, in writing, that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners, the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian or the
Depository, as applicable, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer, the Trustee shall cause the Definitive Certificates to be issued. Such Definitive Certificates will be issued in minimum denominations of $25,000, except that any beneficial ownership that was represented by a Book-Entry Certificate in an amount less than $25,000 immediately prior to the issuance of a Definitive Certificate shall be issued in a minimum denomination equal to the amount represented by such Book-Entry Certificate. None of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in the delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such
Definitive Certificates, and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.

	
            SECTION 5.02
 	
            Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
 

(a)        The Trustee shall cause to be kept at one of the offices or agencies to be appointed by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.11, a Certificate Register for the Certificates in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the 

 

 

Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.

(b)        No transfer of any Class M-8, Class M-9, Class CE Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate (the “Private Certificates”) shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer of a Private Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification (other than in connection with (i) the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an Affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the transfer of any such Class CE or Class P Certificate to the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under
the Indenture or (iii) a transfer of any such Class CE or Class P Certificate from the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor or any transfer of any such Certificate to Stanwich Asset Acceptance Company, L.L.C. or an Affiliate thereof), the Trustee shall require receipt of: (i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications from the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and from such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit F-1; and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such registration (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer in its capacity as such or any Sub-Servicer), together with copies of the written certification(s) of
the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is based, if any. None of the Depositor or the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify any such Certificates under the 1933 Act or any other securities laws or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer of any such Certificate shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, 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.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any such transfer of any Ownership Interest in any Private Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate, except with respect to the initial transfer of any such Ownership Interest by the Depositor, such transfer shall be required to be made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, and the transferee will be deemed to have made each of the transferee representations and warranties set forth Exhibit F-1 hereto in respect of such interest as if it was evidenced by a Definitive Certificate. The Certificate Owner of any such Ownership Interest in any such Book-Entry Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee and the Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no certification or Opinion of Counsel described in this Section 5.02(b) will be required in connection with the transfer, on the Closing Date, of any Class R Certificate by the Depositor to an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(d) of the 1933  Act.

 

 

(c)        No transfer of a Private Certificate (other than a Class M-8 Certificate or Class M-9 Certificate) or any interest therein shall be made to any Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any Person acquiring such Certificates with “Plan Assets” of a Plan (within the meaning of the Department of Labor regulation promulgated at 29 C. F. R. § 2510.3-101 (“Plan Assets”)), as certified by such transferee in the form of Exhibit G, unless the Trustee is provided with an Opinion of Counsel on which the Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer may rely, to the effect that the purchase of such Certificates is permissible under ERISA and the Code, will not constitute or result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of
the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund to any obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund or (ii) in the case of a Class M-8 Certificate or Class M-9 Certificate, (A) such Person has acquired and is holding the Certificate in reliance on the Underwriter’s Exemption, and it understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of the Underwriter’s Exemption, including that the Certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than “BBB-” (or its equivalent) by Fitch, Moody’s or S&P and that the beneficial owner is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (B) (1) such Person is an
insurance company, (2) the source of funds used to acquire or hold the Certificate or interest therein is an “insurance company general account,” as such term is defined in Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60 and (3) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied. Neither a certification nor an Opinion of Counsel nor any certification shall be required in connection with (i) the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an Affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the transfer of any such Certificate to the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture or (iii) a transfer of any such Certificate from the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor (in which case such transferee shall be deemed to have represented that it is not purchasing with Plan Assets) and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely
upon a representation (which, upon the request of the Trustee, shall be a written representation) from the Depositor of the status of such transferee as an affiliate of the Depositor.

Each beneficial owner of a Mezzanine Certificate or any interest therein shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of that certificate or interest therein, that either (i) it is not a Plan investor, (ii) it has acquired and is holding such Mezzanine Certificate in reliance on the Underwriters’ Exemption, and that it understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of the Underwriters’ Exemption, including that such Mezzanine Certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than “BBB-” (or its equivalent) by Fitch, S&P or Moody’s and the Certificates are so rated, and that it is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 and that it will obtain a representation from any transferee that such
transferee is an accredited investor so long as it is required to obtain a representation regarding compliance with the 1933 Act, or (iii) (1) it is an insurance company, (2) the source of funds used to acquire or hold the Certificate or interest therein is an “insurance company general account,” as such term is defined in PTCE 95-60, and (3) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.

 

 

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

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

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

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

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

(D)       Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-2 from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate and (y) not to transfer its Ownership Interest unless it provides a Transferor Affidavit (in 

 

 

the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-2) to the Trustee stating that, among other things, it has no actual knowledge that such other Person is not a Permitted Transferee.

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

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

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

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

(iv)        The Trustee shall make available to the Internal Revenue Service and those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions all information necessary to compute 

 

 

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

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

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

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

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

(f)         At the option of the Holder thereof, any Certificate may be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class with authorized denominations and a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of such Certificate to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Trustee maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. In addition,
with respect to each Class R Certificate, the Holder thereof may exchange, in the manner described above, such Class R Certificate for two separate Certificates, each representing such Holder’s  respective Percentage Interest in the Class R-I Interest and the Class 

 

 

R-II Interest, respectively, in each case that was evidenced by the Class R Certificate being exchanged.

(g)        No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

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

	
            SECTION 5.03
 	
            Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
 

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

	
            SECTION 5.04
 	
            Persons Deemed Owners.
 

The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee or any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

	
            SECTION 5.05
 	
            Certain Available Information.
 

On or prior to the date of the first sale of any Private Certificate to an Independent third party, the Depositor shall provide to the Trustee ten copies of any private placement memorandum or other disclosure document used by the Depositor in connection with the offer and sale of such Certificates. In addition, if any such private placement memorandum or disclosure document is revised, amended or supplemented at any time following the delivery thereof to the Trustee, the Depositor promptly shall inform the Trustee of such event and shall deliver to the Trustee ten copies of the private placement memorandum or disclosure document, as revised, amended or supplemented. The Trustee shall maintain at its Corporate Trust Office and shall make available free of charge during normal business hours for review by any Holder of a Certificate, a Certificate Owner or any Person identified to the
Trustee as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, originals or copies of the following items: (i) in the case of a Holder, a 

 

 

Certificate Owner or prospective transferee of a Private Certificate, the related private placement memorandum or other disclosure document relating to such Class of Certificates, in the form most recently provided to the Trustee; and (ii) in all cases, (A) this Agreement and any amendments hereof entered into pursuant to Section 11.01, (B) all monthly statements required to be delivered to Certificateholders of the relevant Class pursuant to Section 4.02 since the Closing Date, and all other notices, reports, statements and written communications delivered to the Certificateholders of the relevant Class pursuant to this Agreement since the Closing Date, (C) all certifications delivered by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee since the Closing Date pursuant to Section 10.01(h), (D) any and all Officers’ Certificates delivered to the Trustee by the Servicer since the Closing Date to evidence the
Servicer’s determination that any Advance or Servicing Advance was, or if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, respectively, and (E) any and all Officers’ Certificates delivered to the Trustee by the Servicer since the Closing Date pursuant to Section 4.04(a). Copies and mailing of any and all of the foregoing items will be available from the Trustee upon request at the expense of the Person requesting the same.

 

 

ARTICLE VI

 

THE DEPOSITOR AND THE SERVICER

	
            SECTION 6.01
 	
            Liability of the Depositor and the Servicer.
 

The Depositor and the Servicer each shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed by this Agreement upon them in their respective capacities as Depositor and Servicer and undertaken hereunder by the Depositor and the Servicer herein.

	
            SECTION 6.02
 	
            Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or the Servicer.
 

Subject to the following paragraph, the Depositor will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation. Subject to the following paragraph, the Servicer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation. The Depositor and the Servicer each will 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, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.

The Depositor or the Servicer may be merged or consolidated with or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Depositor or the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor or the Servicer, shall be the successor of the Depositor 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 the successor or surviving Person to the Servicer shall be qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac; and provided further that the Rating Agencies’ ratings of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates in effect immediately prior to
such merger or consolidation will not be qualified, reduced or withdrawn as a result thereof (as evidenced by a letter to such effect from the Rating Agencies).

	
            SECTION 6.03
 	
            Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Servicer and Others.
 

(a)        None of the Depositor, the Servicer or any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor or the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trustee, Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Servicer or any such person against any breach of warranties, representations or covenants made herein, or against any specific liability imposed on the Servicer pursuant hereto, or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Servicer and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the Servicer may rely in good 

 

 

faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred on their part that may be sustained in connection with, arising out of, or related to, any claim or legal action (including any pending or threatened claim or legal action) relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense relating to any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) or any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. Neither the Depositor nor the Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties under this Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, 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 Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as and to the extent provided in Section 3.11, any such right of reimbursement being prior to the
rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account. Nothing in this Subsection 6.03(a) shall affect the Servicer’s obligation to supervise, or to take such actions as are necessary to ensure, the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Subsection 3.01(a).

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

	
            SECTION 6.04
 	
            Limitation on Resignation of the Servicer.
 

(a)        The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or as provided in Section 6.04(c). Any such determination pursuant to the preceding sentence permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect obtained at the expense of the Servicer and delivered to the Trustee. No resignation of the Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer shall have assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities (other than those liabilities arising prior to the appointment of such successor) and obligations under this Agreement.

(b)        Except as expressly provided herein, the Servicer shall not assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person, or delegate to or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by the Servicer hereunder. The foregoing prohibition on assignment shall not prohibit the Servicer from designating a Sub-Servicer as payee of any 

 

 

indemnification amount payable to the Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that as provided in Section 3.06 hereof, no Sub-Servicer shall be a third-party beneficiary hereunder and the parties hereto shall not be required to recognize any Sub-Servicer as an indemnitee under this Agreement.

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

The Servicer shall afford (and any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall provide that each Sub-Servicer shall afford) the Depositor and the Trustee, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours, access to all records maintained by the Servicer (and any such Sub-Servicer) 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 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 as it possesses (and that any such Sub-Servicer possesses). To the extent such information is not otherwise available to the public, the Depositor and the Trustee shall not disseminate any
information obtained pursuant to the preceding two sentences without the Servicer’s written consent, except as required pursuant to this Agreement or to the extent that it is appropriate to do so (i) in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies, (ii) pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Depositor and the Trustee or the Trust Fund, and in any case, the Depositor or the Trustee, (iii) disclosure of any and all information that is or becomes publicly known, or information obtained by the Trustee from sources other than the Depositor or the Servicer, (iv) disclosure as required pursuant to this Agreement or (v) disclosure of any and all information(A) in any preliminary or final offering circular, registration statement or contract or other document pertaining to the transactions contemplated by the Agreement approved in
advance by the Depositor or the Servicer or (B) to any affiliate, independent or internal auditor, agent, employee or attorney of the Trustee having a need to know the same, provided that the Trustee advises such recipient of the confidential nature of the information being disclosed, shall use its best efforts to assure the confidentiality of any such disseminated non-public information. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the 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.

            Servicer Events of Default.
 

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

(ii)         any failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Servicer contained in this Agreement, or the breach by the Servicer of any representation and warranty contained in Section 2.05, which continues unremedied for a period of 30 days (or if such failure or breach cannot be remedied within 30 days, then such remedy shall have been commenced within 30 days and diligently pursued thereafter; provided, however, that in no event shall such failure or breach be allowed to exist for a period of greater than 90 days) after the earlier of (i) the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Depositor or the Trustee, or to the Servicer, the
Depositor and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights and (ii) actual knowledge of such failure by a Servicing Officer; 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 Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 90 days; or

            (vi)
 	
            any failure by the Servicer of the Servicer Termination Test; or
 

(vii)       any failure of the Servicer to make any Advance on any Servicer Remittance Date required to be made from its own funds pursuant to Section 4.03 which continues unremedied until 12:00 p.m. New York time on the Business Day immediately following the Servicer Remittance Date.

If a Servicer Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (vi) of this Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Servicer and to the Depositor, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. If a Servicer Event of Default described in clause (vii) hereof shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Servicer, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof
and the Trustee as successor Servicer, or another successor servicer appointed in accordance with Section 7.02, shall immediately make such Advance. 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 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 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 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 Servicer’s functions under this Agreement, and to cooperate with the Trustee 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 Trustee 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, the Distribution Account 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 serviced by the Servicer (provided, however, that the Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, whether in
respect of Advances, Servicing Advances or otherwise, and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.03, notwithstanding any such termination, with respect to events occurring prior to such termination). For purposes of this Section 7.01, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Servicer Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Servicer Event of Default is received by the Trustee and such notice references the Certificates, the Trust Fund or this Agreement.

 

 

 

	
            SECTION 7.02
 	
            Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
 

(a)        (1)        On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination, the Trustee shall separately assume and become 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 all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter shall be assumed by the Trustee (except for any representations or warranties of the Servicer under this Agreement, the responsibilities, duties and liabilities contained in Section 2.05 and the obligation to deposit amounts in respect of losses pursuant to Section 3.12) by the terms and provisions hereof including, without limitation, the Servicer’s obligations to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.03; provided, however, that if
the Trustee is prohibited by law or regulation from obligating itself to make advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans, then the Trustee shall not be obligated to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.03; and provided further, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Servicer’s failure to provide information required by Section 7.01 shall not be considered a default by the Trustee as successor to the Servicer hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Trustee 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 hereunder. Notwithstanding the above and subject to Section 7.02(a)(2) below, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act or if it is prohibited by law from making advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans or if the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights so
request in writing to the Trustee promptly appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, an established mortgage loan servicing institution acceptable to each Rating Agency without qualification, withdrawal or downgrading of the ratings then assigned to any of the Certificates and having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000, as the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement.

All Servicing Transfer Costs shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs (provided, that if the Trustee is the predecessor Servicer by reason of this Section 7.02, such costs shall be paid by the Servicer preceding the Trustee as successor servicer), and if such predecessor or initial Servicer, as applicable, defaults in its obligation to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by the successor Servicer or the Trustee (in which case the successor Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor from the assets of the Trust Fund).

(2)        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 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  and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer under this Agreement, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided.

 

 

 

	
            SECTION 7.03
 	
            Notification to Certificateholders.
 

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

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

	
            SECTION 7.04
 	
            Waiver of Servicer Events of Default.
 

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

 

 

ARTICLE VIII

 

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

	
            SECTION 8.01
 	
            Duties of Trustee.
 

The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default and after the curing of all Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. During a Servicer Event of Default, 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. Any permissive right of the Trustee enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty.

The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform on their face to the requirements of this Agreement. If any such instrument is found not to conform on its face to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to its satisfaction, will provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders.

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

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

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

(iii)        The Trustee shall not 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 exercising any trust or power conferred upon it, under this Agreement.

 

 

 

	
            SECTION 8.02
 	
            Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
 
	
            (a)
 	
            Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
 	
             

				

(i)         The Trustee may request and conclusively rely upon and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers’ Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

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

(iii)        The Trustee shall not be 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 the Trustee  security or indemnity reasonably 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 obligation, upon the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default (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)        The Trustee shall not 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)        Prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default hereunder and after the curing of all Servicer Events of Default 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 of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee not reasonably assured to the Trustee by such Certificateholders, the Trustee may require indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to it against such expense or liability from such Certificateholders as a condition to taking any such action;

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

 

 

(vii)       The Trustee shall have no obligation to invest and reinvest any cash held in the absence of timely and specific written investment direction from the Servicer or the Depositor. In no event shall the Trustee be liable for the selection of investments or for investment losses incurred thereon. The Trustee shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment prior to its stated maturity or the failure of the Servicer or the Depositor to provide timely written investment direction; and

(viii)      In order to comply with its duties under the USA Patriot Act of 2001, the Trustee shall obtain and verify certain information and documentation from the other parties to this Agreement including, but not limited to, each such party’s name, address and other identifying information.

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

	
            SECTION 8.03
 	
            Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
 

The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the signature of the Trustee, the authentication of the Certificate Registrar on the Certificates, the acknowledgments of the Trustee contained in Article II and the representations and warranties of the Trustee in Section 8.13) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations or warranties as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement (other than as specifically set forth with respect to such party in Section 8.13) or of the Certificates (other than the signature of the Trustee and authentication of the Certificate Registrar on the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan or related document or of MERS or the MERS® System. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of any of the
Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Depositor or the Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Servicer, other than any funds held by or on behalf of the Trustee in accordance with Section 3.10, subject to Section 8.01.

	
            SECTION 8.04
 	
            Trustee May Own Certificates.
 

The Trustee in its individual capacity or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

	
            SECTION 8.05
 	
            Trustee’s Fees and Expenses.
 

(a)        The Trustee shall withdraw from the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date and pay to itself the Trustee Fee. The Trustee, or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense (not including expenses, disbursements and advances 

 

 

incurred or made by the Trustee including the compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel, in the ordinary course of the Trustee’s performance in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) incurred by the Trustee in connection with any Servicer Event of Default (not including expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in its capacity as successor Servicer), default, claim or legal action or any pending or threatened claim or legal action arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, other than any loss, liability or expense (i) resulting from a breach of the Servicer’s obligations and duties under this Agreement (for which the Servicer indemnifies pursuant to Sections 8.05(b) and 10.03(a)), (ii) for the expenses of preparing and filing Tax Returns pursuant to
Section 10.01(d) or (iii) any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of its respective obligations and duties hereunder. Any amounts payable to the Trustee, or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee 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 any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee, may have hereunder in its capacity as such, may be withdrawn by the Trustee from the Distribution Account at any time.

(b)        The Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee from, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel) resulting from a breach of the 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 Servicer to the Trustee shall be from the Servicer’s own funds, without reimbursement from the Trust Fund therefor.

The provisions of this Section 8.05 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee.

	
            SECTION 8.06
 	
            Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
 

The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or an association (other than the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer or any Affiliate of the foregoing) organized and doing business under the laws of any state or the United States of America, 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, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to
be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.

	
            SECTION 8.07
 	
            Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.
 

The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Certificateholders. Upon receiving such notice of resignation of the Trustee, the Depositor shall  promptly appoint a 

 

 

successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and to the successor trustee. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders, the Trustee and the Servicer by the Depositor. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation or removal, the Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.

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

The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee 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 so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders and the Servicer by the Depositor.

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

	
            SECTION 8.08
 	
            Successor Trustee.
 

Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein. The predecessor trustee shall deliver to the successor trustee 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, which custodian shall become the agent of any successor trustee hereunder), and the Depositor and the predecessor trustee shall execute and
deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 and the appointment of such successor trustee 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 as provided in this Section, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder 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 trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor.

	
            SECTION 8.09
 	
            Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
 

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

	
            SECTION 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 REMIC I 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 REMIC I, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to REMIC I, 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. Any such co-trustee or separate trustee shall be subject to the written approval of the Servicer. 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 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. The Servicer shall be responsible for the fees of any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed under this Section 8.10.

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 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 REMIC I 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 and a copy thereof given to the Depositor and the Servicer.

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

	
            SECTION 8.11
 	
            Reserved.
 	
             

	
            SECTION 8.12
 	
            Appointment of Office or Agency.
 

The Trustee will designate an office or agency in the City of New York where the Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and presented for final distribution, and where notices and demands to or upon the Trustee in respect of the Certificates and this Agreement may be delivered. As of the Closing Date, the Trustee designates the office of its agent located c/o DTC Transfer Agent Services, 55 Water Street, Jeanette Park Entrance, New York, NY 10041 for such purposes.

	
            SECTION 8.13
 	
            Representations and Warranties of the Trustee.
 

The Trustee hereby represents and warrants, solely as to itself, to the Servicer and the Depositor, as of the Closing Date, that:

(i)         It is a national banking association duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States.

(ii)         The execution and delivery of this Agreement by it, and the performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by it, will not violate its charter or bylaws.

(iii)        It has the full power and authority to enter into and consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement.

(iv)        This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid, legal and binding obligation of it, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms hereof, subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the 

 

 

enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (B) general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof and (b) the latest possible Maturity Date. Subject to Section 3.10 hereof, the purchase by the Terminator of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I shall be at a price equal to the greater of (i) the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and the appraised value of any REO Properties (such appraisal to be conducted by an Independent appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Terminator and, to the extent that the Class A Certificates or a Class of Mezzanine Certificates will not receive all amounts owed to it as a result of the termination, the Trustee, in their reasonable
discretion) and (ii) the fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and the REO Properties (as determined by the Terminator and, to the extent that the Class A Certificates or a Class of Mezzanine Certificates will not receive all amounts owed to it as a result of the termination, the Trustee (it being understood and agreed that any determination by the Trustee shall be made solely in reliance on an appraisal by an Independent appraiser as provided above)), as of the close of business on the third Business Day next preceding the date upon which notice of any such termination is furnished to the related Certificateholders pursuant to Section 9.01(c), in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the weighted average of the Mortgage Rates through the end of the Due Period preceding the final Distribution Date plus unreimbursed Servicing Advances, Advances, any unpaid Servicing Fees allocable to such Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and any accrued and unpaid Net WAC Rate
Carryover Amounts (the “Termination Price”); provided, however, such option may only be exercised if the Termination Price is sufficient to pay all interest accrued on, as well as amounts necessary to retire the principal balance of, each class of notes issued pursuant to the Indenture. If the determination of the fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties shall be required to be made by the Terminator and an Independent appraiser as provided above, (A) such appraisal shall be obtained at no expense to the Trustee and (B) the Trustee may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such appraisal.

(b)        The majority Holder of the Class CE Certificates (so long as such holder is not an affiliate of the Seller) shall have the right (the party exercising such right, the 

 

 

“Terminator”), to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding paragraph no later than the Determination Date in the month immediately preceding the Distribution Date on which the Certificates will be retired; provided, however, that the Terminator may elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i) above only if the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund at the time of such election is reduced to less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date. By acceptance of a Residual Certificate, the Holders of the Residual Certificates agree, in connection with any termination hereunder, to assign and transfer any amounts in excess of par, and to the
extent received in respect of such termination, to pay any such amounts to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates.

(c)        Notice of the liquidation of the Certificates shall be given promptly by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed (a) in the event such notice is given in connection with the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property by the Terminator, not earlier than the 10th day and not later than the 20th day of the month next preceding the month of the final distribution on the related Certificates or (b) otherwise during the month of such final distribution on or before the Determination Date in such month, in each case specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which the Trust Fund will terminate and the final payment in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests, as applicable and the related Certificates will be made upon
presentation and surrender of the related Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment, (iii) that no interest shall accrue in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests or the related Certificates from and after the Interest Accrual Period relating to the final Distribution Date therefor and (iv) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the related Certificates at the office of the Trustee. In the event such notice is given in connection with the purchase of all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I by the Terminator, the Terminator shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account not later than the last Business Day of the month next preceding the month of the final distribution on the related Certificates an amount in immediately available funds equal to the above-described
purchase price. The Trustee shall remit to the Servicer from such funds deposited in the Distribution Account (i) any amounts which the Servicer would be permitted to withdraw and retain from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.11 and (ii) any other amounts otherwise payable by the Trustee to the Servicer from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, in each case prior to making any final distributions pursuant to Section 10.01(d) below. Upon certification to the Trustee by the Terminator of the making of such final deposit, the Trustee shall promptly release to the Terminator the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans, and the Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments necessary to effectuate such transfer.

Immediately following the deposit of funds in trust hereunder in respect of the Certificates, the Trust Fund shall terminate.

	
            SECTION 9.02
 	
            Additional Termination Requirements.
 

(a)        In the event that the Terminator purchases all the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property or the final payment on or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan or 

 

 

REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to Section 9.01, the Trust Fund (or the applicable Trust REMIC) shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements:

(i)         The Trustee shall specify the first day in the 90-day liquidation period in a statement attached to each Trust REMIC’s final Tax Return pursuant to Treasury regulation Section 1.860F-1 and shall satisfy all requirements of a qualified liquidation under Section 860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel obtained at the expense of the Terminator;

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

(iii)        At the time of the making of the final payment on the Certificates, the Trustee shall distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited, to the Holders of the Residual Certificates in respect of the Class R-I Interest all cash on hand in the Trust Fund (other than cash retained to meet claims), and the Trust Fund shall terminate at that time.

(b)        At the expense of the requesting Terminator (or, if the Trust Fund is being terminated as a result of the occurrence of the event described in clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 9.01, at the expense of the Depositor without the right of reimbursement from the Trust Fund), the Terminator shall prepare or cause to be prepared the documentation required in connection with the adoption of a plan of liquidation of each Trust REMIC pursuant to this Section 9.02.

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

REMIC PROVISIONS

	
            SECTION 10.01
 	
            REMIC Administration.
 

(a)        The Trustee shall elect to treat each Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the Code and, if necessary, under applicable state law. Each such election will be made by the Trustee on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return or any appropriate state return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued. For the purposes of the REMIC election in respect of REMIC I, the REMIC I Regular Interests shall be designated as the Regular Interests in REMIC I and the Class R-I Interest shall be designated as the Residual Interest in REMIC I. The Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates shall be designated as the Regular Interests in REMIC II and the Class R-II Interest shall be designated as the Residual Interest in REMIC II. The Trustee shall not permit the creation of
any “interests” in any Trust REMIC (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) other than the REMIC I Regular Interests and the interests represented by the Certificates.

(b)        The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “Startup Day” of each Trust REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.

(c)        The Trustee shall be reimbursed for any and all expenses relating to any tax audit of the Trust Fund (including, but not limited to, any professional fees or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to each Trust REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities), including the expense of obtaining any tax related Opinion of Counsel required to be obtained hereunder. The Trustee, as agent for each Trust REMIC’s tax matters person shall (i) act on behalf of the Trust Fund in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving any Trust REMIC and (ii) represent the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto. 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 Trust REMICs created hereunder. By their acceptance thereof, the holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Residual Certificates hereby agrees to irrevocably appoint the Trustee or an Affiliate as its agent to perform all of the duties of the tax matters person for the Trust Fund.

(d)        The Trustee shall prepare, sign and file all of the Tax Returns (including Form 8811, which must be filed within 30 days following the Closing Date) in respect of each Trust REMIC created hereunder. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Trustee without any right of reimbursement therefor.

(e)        The Trustee shall perform on behalf of each Trust REMIC 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 Trustee 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 Trust REMIC. The Depositor shall provide or cause to be provided to the Trustee, within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, all information or data that the Trustee 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 Trustee shall take such action and shall cause each Trust 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. The Trustee shall not take any action or 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 each Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Trustee has received an Opinion of
Counsel, addressed to the Trustee (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action but in no event at the expense of the Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to any Trust REMIC, endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax, nor shall the Servicer take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Trustee 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 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 Trust REMIC or the respective assets of each, or causing any Trust REMIC to take any action, which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer will consult with the Trustee or
its designee, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any Trust REMIC and the Servicer shall not take any such action or cause any Trust REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur; provided that the 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 Trustee may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not permitted by this Agreement, but in no event shall such cost be an expense of the Trustee. At all times as may be required by the Code, the Trustee will ensure that substantially all of the assets of REMIC I 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, to the extent such obligations are within the Trustee’s control and not otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.

(g)        In the event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of any Trust REMIC created hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net 

 

 

income from foreclosure property” of such REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contributions to any such REMIC after the Startup Day therefor pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed by the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws, such tax shall be charged (i) to the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Article X, (ii) to the Servicer pursuant to Section 10.03 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 X, or (iii) in all other cases, against amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account and shall be paid by withdrawal therefrom.

(h)        On or before April 15 of each calendar year, commencing April 15, 2006, the Trustee shall deliver to each Rating Agency an Officer’s Certificate of the Trustee stating the Trustee’s compliance with this Article X.

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

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

(k)        Neither the Trustee nor the Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which any Trust REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor knowingly permit any Trust 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.

	
            SECTION 10.02
 	
            Prohibited Transactions and Activities.
 

None of the Depositor, the Servicer 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 REMIC I, (iii) the termination of REMIC I 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 Trust REMIC (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 Trust REMIC after the Closing Date (other than a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
delivered in accordance with Section 2.03), unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee (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) that such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution will not (a) affect adversely the status of any Trust 

 

 

REMIC as a REMIC or (b) cause any Trust REMIC to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

	
            SECTION 10.03
 	
            Servicer and Trustee Indemnification.
 

(a)        The Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Depositor 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 or the Servicer as a result of a breach of the Trustee’s covenants set forth in this Article X.

(b)        The Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Depositor 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 or the Trustee, as a result of a breach of the Servicer’s covenants set forth in Article III or this Article X.

            Amendment.
 

This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee without the consent of any of the Certificateholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity or defect, (ii) to correct, modify or supplement any provisions herein (including to give effect to the expectations of Certificateholders), (iii) to amend the provisions of Section 4.06 or (iii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, provided that such action shall not, as evidenced by either (a) an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or (b) written notice to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee from the Rating Agencies that such action will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of
any outstanding Class of Certificates with respect to which it is a Rating Agency). No amendment shall be deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder who shall have consented thereto, and no Opinion of Counsel or Rating Agency confirmation shall be required to address the effect of any such amendment on any such consenting Certificateholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither an Opinion of Counsel nor written notice to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee from the Rating Agencies will be required in connection with an amendment to the provisions of Section 4.06.

This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are 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 (as evidenced by either (i) an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee or (ii) written notice to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for purposes of the giving or withholding of consents pursuant to this Section 11.01, Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor or the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof shall be entitled to Voting Rights with respect to matters affecting such Certificates.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment (i) will not result in the imposition of any tax on any Trust REMIC pursuant to the REMIC Provisions or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as 

 

 

a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding and (ii) is authorized or permitted hereunder.

Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee shall furnish a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 11.01 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.

The cost of any Opinion of Counsel to be delivered pursuant to this Section 11.01 shall be borne by the Person seeking the related amendment, but in no event shall such Opinion of Counsel be an expense of the Trustee.

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

 

 

any third party by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.

No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing itself of any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates shall also have made written request to the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses, and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have neglected

For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 11.03, each and every Certificateholder, the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

            Grant of Security Interest.
 

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

 

	
            SECTION 11.10
 	
            Intention of Parties.
 

It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Notes, Mortgages, assignments of Mortgages, title insurance policies and any modifications, 

 

 

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

The Depositor for the benefit of the Certificateholders shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the assets of the Trust Fund, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the Agreement.

	
            SECTION 11.11
 	
            Assignment.
 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as provided pursuant to Section 6.02, this Agreement may not be assigned by the Servicer or the Depositor.

 

	
            SECTION 11.12
 	
            Inspection and Audit Rights.
 

The Servicer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit any representative of the Depositor or the Trustee during the Servicer’s normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Servicer 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 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 such 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 out-of-pocket expense incident to the exercise by the Depositor or the Trustee of any
right under this Section 11.12 shall be borne by the party requesting such inspection, subject to such party’s right to reimbursement hereunder (in the case of the Trustee, pursuant to Section 8.05 hereof).

 

	
            SECTION 11.13
 	
            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 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.

 

 

 

ARTICLE XII

 

RIGHTS OF THE CLASS CE CERTIFICATEHOLDER

	
            SECTION 12.01
 	
            Reports and Notices.
 

(a)        In connection with the performance of its duties under this Agreement relating to, among other things, the collection of Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall provide to the Class CE Certificateholder the following notices and reports in a timely manner and using the same methodology and calculations used in its standard servicing reports to the Trustee. The Servicer shall send all such notices and reports to the Class CE Certificateholder in electronic format unless otherwise specified herein or agreed to in writing by the Class CE Certificateholder.

(i)         The Servicer shall, within ten Business Days after each Distribution Date, commencing in March 2006, provide to the Class CE Certificateholder a report of each Mortgage Loan in the Trust Fund, indicating the information contained in Exhibit L for the Due Period relating to such Distribution Date and to the extent such information is reasonably available to the Servicer.

(ii)         Within ten Business Days after each Distribution Date commencing in March 2006, the Servicer shall provide the Class CE Certificateholder with a report listing each Mortgage Loan that has liquidated or paid off. Such report shall specify, if applicable and to the extent the information is reasonably available to the Servicer: (a) mortgage loan number; (b) outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the mortgage loan upon its liquidation; (c) Realized Loss or gain; (d) Liquidation Proceeds; (e) payoff date; (f) Prepayment Charges collected.

(iii)        Where applicable, the Servicer shall provide the Class CE Certificateholder with copies of all primary mortgage insurance claims filed, as well as the actual amount paid in respect of any claim. Copies of any primary mortgage insurance claims will be provided to the Class CE Certificateholder within ten Business Days of their filing with the mortgage insurance company.

(iv)        The Servicer shall provide the Class CE Certificateholder with a copy of the monthly reporting to the Trustee, and of any notice submitted to the Trustee regarding a loan modification. Such notice shall be provided to the Class CE Certificateholder simultaneous with its delivery to the Trustee.

(v)        On a monthly basis, the Servicer shall provide the Class CE Certificateholder with a delinquency report detailing at a minimum the percentages of 30-day, 60-day and 90-day delinquencies in the Servicer’s total portfolio that move into foreclosure and the percentage of foreclosed loans the Servicer’s total portfolio that remain in foreclosure.

(b)        The Servicer shall make its servicing personnel available during their normal business hours to respond to reasonable inquiries, either orally or in writing by facsimile transmission, express mail, or electronic mail, transmitted by the Class CE Certificateholder in 

 

 

connection with any Mortgage Loan identified in a report under subsection 12.01(a)(i) through (iv) which has been given to the Class CE Certificateholder; provided that the Servicer shall only be required to provide information that is reasonably accessible to its servicing personnel.

(c)        If reasonably requested by the Class CE Certificateholder, the Servicer shall make available to the Class CE Certificateholder access to the underwriting files for defaulted Mortgage Loans, in original, photocopied or imaged form, to the extent such files have been provided to the Servicer. The Class CE Certificateholder agrees to protect the confidentiality of the documents and information contained in underwriting files from all parties other than the Depositor and Trustee, and agrees not to remove, mark or destroy any of the documents contained therein.

(d)        With respect to all Mortgage Loans which are serviced at any time by the Servicer through a Sub-Servicer which has been approved by the Class CE Certificateholder pursuant to the next succeeding sentence, the Servicer shall be entitled to rely for all purposes hereunder, including for purposes of fulfilling its reporting obligations under this Section 12.01, on the accuracy and completeness of any information provided to it by the applicable subservicer. The Servicer shall not allow any Mortgage Loan to be serviced by a Sub-Servicer without the prior written consent of such Sub-Servicer by the Class CE Certificateholder.

(e)        The Servicer shall permit the Class CE Certificateholder to conduct an on-site review and evaluation of the Servicer’s operations as they relate to the Mortgage Loans no more than annually, unless circumstances warrant special review. Such review and evaluation will be conducted upon at least 30 days written notice to the Servicer by the Class CE Certificateholder, and shall be conducted at the Class CE Certificateholder’s expense. The review is intended to benefit the Servicer, as well as to assist the Class CE Certificateholder in adjusting its monitoring approach to fit the default procedures in place. The Class CE Certificateholder will conduct such review and evaluation during normal business hours and use its best efforts to cause the least practicable interruption to the Servicer’s business. During the course of the
on-site evaluation, the Servicer will make available to the Class CE Certificateholder access to the Servicer’s policies and procedures regarding the management and liquidation of defaulted Mortgage Loans. The written findings of such review and evaluation will be presented to the Servicer for review and comment. Other than a comfort letter to the Depositor summarizing the review and evaluation of the Servicer, the Class CE Certificateholder will not divulge the written findings of such review to any party without the prior written consent of the Servicer.

	
            SECTION 12.02
 	
            Class CE Certificateholder’s Directions With Respect to Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
 

(a)        All parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the Class CE Certificateholder’s advice is made in the form of directions, and that the Class CE Certificateholder has the right to direct the Servicer in performing its duties under this Agreement. The Servicer must accept such advice, subject to the duties of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement.

(b)        The Class CE Certificateholder may provide the Servicer with advice regarding the management of specific defaulted Mortgage Loans. Such advice may be made in 

 

 

writing, in the form of electronic mail. The advice provided to the Servicer may be based on observations made in conjunction with the data provided pursuant to the Section 2.01 of this Agreement, or in conjunction with the Class CE Certificateholder’s periodic review of the Servicer’s operations. The advice may include comparable analysis of the performance of the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund with similar mortgage loans serviced by other mortgage loan servicers. Such advice also may take the form of benchmark comparisons that identify and interpret the Servicer’s strengths and weaknesses relative to similar, unidentified servicers in the industry.

(c)        In all cases where the Class CE Certificateholder makes directions to the Servicer, the Class CE Certificateholder will protect the confidentiality of the Servicer and other servicers in the industry whose work is monitored by the Class CE Certificateholder. Under no circumstances will the Class CE Certificateholder divulge any materials confidential of the Servicer, whether a party to this Agreement or not, or the details of any Servicer’s proprietary system or approaches.

(d)        All advice offered to the Servicer by the Class CE Certificateholder will be kept confidential by the Class CE Certificateholder, except as disclosed as a finding in the Class CE Certificateholder’s review and evaluation of the Servicer, as discussed in Section 12.01 (e), or in reports to the Depositor.

(e)        The Servicer’s obligations under this Article XII shall terminate upon the termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01.

(f)         Neither the Servicer nor the Class CE Certificateholder nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be under any liability for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Article XII or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or the Class CE Certificateholder or any such Person against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful malfeasance or bad faith. The Servicer and the Class CE Certificateholder and any director, officer, employee or agent thereof 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.

(g)        The Servicer or the Class CE Certificateholder, as applicable, (“Indemnitor”) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other (“Indemnitee”) and its officers, directors, agents and employees from and against all claims, losses, expenses, fees (including attorneys’ and expert witnesses’ fees), costs and judgments involving the rights and obligations of this Article XII that may be asserted against Indemnitee (a) that result from the acts or omissions of the Indemnitor, or (b) result from third party claims of intellectual property infringement.

(h)        The Class CE Certificateholder agrees that all information supplied by or on behalf of the Servicer shall be used by the Class CE Certificateholder only for the benefit of the Certificateholders of the Trust Fund. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Class CE Certificateholder shall be entitled to retain all records or other information supplied to Class CE Certificateholder pursuant to this Agreement.

 

 

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

NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.

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

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

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

 

 

The Pass-Through Rate applicable to the calculation of interest payable with respect to this Certificate on any Distribution Date shall equal a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the related Formula Rate for such Distribution Date and (ii) the related Net WAC Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof.

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

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.

The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early
retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.

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

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

 

 

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

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early
retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.

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

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

 

 

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

BEAR STEARNS ASSET BACKED SECURITIES I LLC

THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN BEAR STEARNS ASSET BACKED SECURITIES I LLC, THE SERVICER, THE TRUSTEE OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.

This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of a Percentage Interest (obtained by dividing the denomination of this Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-3 Certificates as of the Issue Date) in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Class A-3 Certificates in REMIC II created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as specified above (the “Agreement”), among Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC (hereinafter called the “Depositor,” which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement), the Servicer and the Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class A-3 Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

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

 

 

The Pass-Through Rate applicable to the calculation of interest payable with respect to this Certificate on any Distribution Date shall equal a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the related Formula Rate for such Distribution Date and (ii) the related Net WAC Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof.

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early
retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.

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

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

 

 

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

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

BEAR STEARNS ASSET BACKED SECURITIES I LLC

THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN BEAR STEARNS ASSET BACKED SECURITIES I LLC, THE SERVICER, THE TRUSTEE OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.

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

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

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

 

 

The Pass-Through Rate applicable to the calculation of interest payable with respect to this Certificate on any Distribution Date shall equal a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the related Formula Rate for such Distribution Date and (ii) the related Net WAC Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof.

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

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

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

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

 

 

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

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early
retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.

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

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

 

 

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

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

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

 

 

The Pass-Through Rate applicable to the calculation of interest payable with respect to this Certificate on any Distribution Date shall equal a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the related Formula Rate for such Distribution Date and (ii) the related Net WAC Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof.

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

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

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

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

 

 

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

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early
retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.

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

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

 

 

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

ASSET BACKED PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE

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

BEAR STEARNS ASSET BACKED SECURITIES I LLC

THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN BEAR STEARNS ASSET BACKED SECURITIES I LLC, THE SERVICER, THE TRUSTEE OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.

This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of a Percentage Interest (obtained by dividing the denomination of this Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class M-4 Certificates as of the Issue Date) in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Class M-4 Certificates in REMIC II created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as specified above (the “Agreement”), among Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC (hereinafter called the “Depositor,” which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement), the Servicer and the Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class M-4 Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

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

 

 

The Pass-Through Rate applicable to the calculation of interest payable with respect to this Certificate on any Distribution Date shall equal a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the related Formula Rate for such Distribution Date and (ii) the related Net WAC Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof.

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

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

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

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

 

 

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

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early
retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.

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

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

 

 

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

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

 

 

The Pass-Through Rate applicable to the calculation of interest payable with respect to this Certificate on any Distribution Date shall equal a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the related Formula Rate for such Distribution Date and (ii) the related Net WAC Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date.

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

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

ASSET BACKED PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE

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

BEAR STEARNS ASSET BACKED SECURITIES I LLC

THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN BEAR STEARNS ASSET BACKED SECURITIES I LLC, THE SERVICER, THE TRUSTEE OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.

This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of a Percentage Interest (obtained by dividing the denomination of this Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class M-7 Certificates as of the Issue Date) in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Class M-7 Certificates in REMIC II created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as specified above (the “Agreement”), among Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC (hereinafter called the “Depositor,” which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement), the Servicer and the Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class M-7 Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

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

 

 

The Pass-Through Rate applicable to the calculation of interest payable with respect to this Certificate on any Distribution Date shall equal a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the related Formula Rate for such Distribution Date and (ii) the related Net WAC Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof.

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

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

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

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

 

 

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

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early
retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.

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

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

 

 

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

BEAR STEARNS ASSET BACKED SECURITIES I LLC

THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN BEAR STEARNS ASSET BACKED SECURITIES I LLC, THE SERVICER, THE TRUSTEE OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.

This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of a Percentage Interest (obtained by dividing the denomination of this Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class M-8 Certificates as of the Issue Date) in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Class M-8 Certificates in REMIC II created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as specified above (the “Agreement”), among Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC (hereinafter called the “Depositor,” which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement), the Servicer and the Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class M-8 Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

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

 

 

The Pass-Through Rate applicable to the calculation of interest payable with respect to this Certificate on any Distribution Date shall equal a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the related Formula Rate for such Distribution Date and (ii) the related Net WAC Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof.

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

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

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

No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and an effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification, the Trustee shall require receipt of written certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such Holder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit F-1.  None of the Depositor or the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other 

 

 

securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor 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.

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

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

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

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early
retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.

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

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

 

 

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

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

The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early
retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.

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

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

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

BEAR STEARNS ASSET BACKED SECURITIES I LLC

THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN BEAR STEARNS ASSET BACKED SECURITIES I LLC, THE SERVICER, THE TRUSTEE OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.

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

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

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

 

 

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof.

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

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

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

No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and an effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification, the Trustee shall require receipt of (i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such Holder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit F-1, and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such
transfer may be made without such registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Servicer in their respective capacities as such), together with copies of the written certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Holder’s prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is based. None of the Depositor or the Trustee is obligated to 

 

 

register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the 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.

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

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

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

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early
retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.

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

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

 

 

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

ASSET BACKED PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE

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

BEAR STEARNS ASSET BACKED SECURITIES I LLC

THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN BEAR STEARNS ASSET BACKED SECURITIES I LLC, THE SERVICER, THE TRUSTEE OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.

This certifies that Greenwich Residual Venture, LLC is the registered owner of a Percentage Interest (as specified above) in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as specified above (the “Agreement”), among Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC (hereinafter called the “Depositor,” which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement), the Servicer and the Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by
virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

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

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

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called 

 

 

the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof.

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

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

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

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

 

 

to effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the 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.

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

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

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

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

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

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Trustee and 

 

 

required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.

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

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

 

 

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

FORM OF MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This is a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated May 1, 2005, among NC CAPITAL CORPORATION, a California corporation (the “Responsible Party”), STANWICH ASSET ACCEPTANCE COMPANY, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”) and BEAR STEARNS ASSET BACKED SECURITIES I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Purchaser”).

Preliminary Statement

The Seller intends to sell the Mortgage Loans (as hereinafter identified) to the Purchaser on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. The Purchaser intends to deposit the Mortgage Loans into a mortgage pool comprising the Trust Fund.  The Trust Fund will be evidenced by a single series of mortgage pass-through certificates designated as Series 2005-NC2 (the “Certificates”).  The Certificates will consist of fifteen classes of certificates and will be issued pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2005 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among the Depositor as depositor, New Century Mortgage Corporation as servicer (the “Servicer”) and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company as trustee (the “Trustee”).  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1     Agreement to Purchase.  The Seller agrees to sell and the Purchaser agrees to purchase, on or before May 4, 2005 (the “Closing Date”), certain adjustable-rate conventional, one- to four-family, first lien, residential mortgage loans purchased by the Seller from the Responsible Party (the “Mortgage Loans”), having an aggregate principal balance as of the close of business on May 1, 2005, (the “Cut-off Date”) of $719,989,517.09 (the “Closing Balance”), after giving effect to all payments due on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date, whether or not received including the right to any Prepayment Charges payable by the related Mortgagors in connection with any Principal Prepayments on the Mortgage Loans, on an Originator servicing-retained basis.

SECTION 2     Mortgage Loan Schedule.  The Purchaser and the Seller have agreed upon which of the Mortgage Loans are to be purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and the Seller will prepare or cause to be prepared on or prior to the Closing Date a final schedule (the “Closing Schedule”) that shall describe such Mortgage Loans and set forth all of the Mortgage Loans to be purchased under this Agreement, including the Prepayment Charges.  The Closing Schedule will conform to the requirements set forth in this Agreement and, with respect to the Mortgage Loans subject to this Agreement, to the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Closing Schedule shall be used as part of the Mortgage Loan Schedule under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
and shall be based on information provided by the Originator.

	
            SECTION 3
 	
            Consideration.
 

 

 

 

(a)        In consideration for the Mortgage Loans to be purchased hereunder, the Purchaser shall, as described in Section 8, pay to or upon the order of the Seller in immediately available funds an amount (the “Purchase Price”) equal to (i) the net sale proceeds of the Certificates and (ii) the Class M-8 Certificates, the Class M-9 Certificates, the Class CE Certificates, the Class P Certificates and the Residual Certificates.

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

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

	
            SECTION 4
 	
            Transfer of the Mortgage Loans.
 

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

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

(i)         the original Mortgage Note, endorsed in blank or in the following form “Pay to the order of Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee under the applicable agreement, without recourse,” with all prior and intervening endorsements showing a complete chain of endorsement from the originator to the Person so endorsing to the Trustee;

(ii)         the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon, and the original recorded power of attorney, if the Mortgage was executed pursuant to a power of attorney, with evidence of recording thereon;

	
            (iii)
 	
            an original Assignment in blank;
 

 

 

 

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

(v)        the original or copies of each assumption, modification or substitution agreement, if any; and

(vi)        the original lender’s title insurance policy or, if the original title policy has not been issued, the irrevocable commitment to issue the same.

With respect to a maximum of approximately 2.0% of the Original Mortgage Loans, by outstanding principal balance of the Original Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, if any original Mortgage Note referred to in Section 2(b)(i) above cannot be located, the obligations of the Seller to deliver such documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon delivery to the Purchaser of a photocopy of such Mortgage Note, if available, with a lost note affidavit substantially in the form of Exhibit I attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  If any of the original Mortgage Notes for which a lost note affidavit was delivered to the Purchaser is subsequently located, such original Mortgage Note shall be delivered to the Purchaser within three Business Days.

If any of the documents referred to in Sections 4(b)(ii), (iii) or (iv) above has, as of the Closing Date, been submitted for recording but either (x) has not been returned from the applicable public recording office or (y) has been lost or such public recording office has retained the original of such document, the obligations of the Seller to deliver such documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon (1) delivery to the Purchaser of a copy of each such document certified by the Originator in the case of (x) above or the applicable public recording office in the case of (y) above to be a true and complete copy of the original that was submitted for recording and (2) if such copy is certified by the Originator, delivery to the Purchaser promptly upon receipt thereof of either the original or a copy of such document certified by the applicable public recording office to be a true and
complete copy of the original. Notice shall be provided to the Purchaser, the Trustee and the Rating Agencies by the Seller if delivery pursuant to clause (2) above will be made more than 180 days after the Closing Date. If the original lender’s title insurance policy was not delivered pursuant to Section 4(b)(vi) above, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser, promptly after receipt thereof, the original lender’s title insurance policy.  The Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser promptly upon receipt thereof any other original documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received with respect to any Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, any original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of any Mortgage Loan.

The Seller shall (at the expense of the Responsible Party) promptly (within sixty Business Days following the later of the Closing Date and the date of receipt by the Seller of the recording information for a Mortgage, but in no event later than ninety days following the Closing Date) submit or cause to be submitted for recording, at no expense to the Trust Fund, the Trustee or the Purchaser, in the appropriate public office for real property records, each Assignment referred to in Sections 4(b)(iii) and (iv) above and the Seller shall execute each original Assignment or cause each original Assignment to be executed in the following form: “Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee under the applicable agreement.”  In the 

 

 

event that any such Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Seller shall promptly prepare or cause to be prepared a substitute Assignment or cure or cause to be cured such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly recorded.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, for administrative convenience and facilitation of servicing and to reduce closing costs, the Assignments shall not be required to be submitted for recording (except with respect to any Mortgage Loan located in Maryland) unless the Trustee or the Purchaser receives notice that such failure to record would result in a withdrawal or a downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of Certificates; provided, however, the Seller shall submit or cause to be submitted each Assignment for recording in the manner described above, at the expense of the Responsible Party and at no expense to the Trust Fund or the Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of:  (i) reasonable direction by Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights, (ii)
the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Servicer, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (v) with respect to any one Assignment, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage and (vi) any Mortgage Loan that is 90 days or more Delinquent.  Upon receipt of written notice that recording of the Assignments is required pursuant to one or more of the conditions set forth in the preceding sentence, the Seller shall be required to deliver such Assignments or shall cause such Assignments to be delivered within 30 days following receipt of such notice.

Each original document relating to a Mortgage Loan which is not delivered to the Purchaser or its assignee, transferee or designee, if held by the Seller, shall be so held for the benefit of the Purchaser, its assignee, transferee or designee.

(c)        Acceptance of Mortgage Loans. The documents delivered pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof shall be reviewed by the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser at any time before or after the Closing Date (and with respect to each document permitted to be delivered after the Closing Date, within seven days of its delivery) to ascertain that all required documents have been executed and received and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.

(d)        Transfer of Interest in Agreements. The Purchaser has the right to assign its interest under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to the Trustee, as may be required to effect the purposes of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of the Seller or the Responsible Party, and the assignee shall succeed to the rights and obligations hereunder of the Purchaser. Any expense reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Purchaser or the Trustee in connection with enforcing any obligations of the Seller or the Responsible Party under this Agreement will be promptly reimbursed by the Seller or the Responsible Party, as applicable.

(e)        Examination of Mortgage Files. Prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall either (i) deliver in escrow to the Purchaser, or to any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser for examination, the Mortgage File pertaining to each Mortgage Loan or (ii) make such Mortgage Files available to the Purchaser or to any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser for examination. Such examination may be made by the Purchaser or the Trustee, and 

 

 

their respective designees, upon reasonable notice to the Seller during normal business hours before the Closing Date and within 60 days after the Closing Date.  If any such person makes such examination prior to the Closing Date and identifies any Mortgage Loans that do not conform to the requirements of the Purchaser as described in this Agreement, such Mortgage Loans shall be deleted from the Closing Schedule.  The Purchaser may, at its option and without notice to the Seller, purchase all or part of the Mortgage Loans without conducting any partial or complete examination.  The fact that the Purchaser or any person has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the Mortgage Files shall not affect the rights of the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser to demand repurchase or other relief as provided herein or under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property and (d) a first lien on the Mortgaged Property.

unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment in the Mortgage Rate and Monthly Payment.  Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress to and from the Mortgaged Property, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein.  The Servicer is the sole insured of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is valid and remains in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the Originator, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful
compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by the Originator;

SECTION 7     Repurchase Obligation for Defective Documentation and for Breach of Representation and Warranty.

(a)        The representations and warranties contained in Section 6 shall not be impaired by any review and examination of Mortgage Files or any failure on the part of the Seller or the Purchaser to review or examine such documents and shall inure to the benefit of any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser, including the Trustee for the benefit of holders of the Certificates.  With respect to the representations and warranties contained herein that are made to the knowledge or the best knowledge of the Responsible Party or as to which the Responsible Party has no knowledge, if it is discovered that the substance of any such representation and warranty is inaccurate and the inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan, or the interest therein of the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s assignee, designee
or transferee, then notwithstanding the Responsible Party’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty being inaccurate at the time the representation and warranty was made, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the 

 

 

applicable representation and warranty and the Responsible Party shall take such action described in the following paragraphs in respect of such Mortgage Loan.

Upon discovery by the Seller, the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser of any materially defective document in, or that any material document was not transferred by or at the direction of the Seller (as listed on the Trustee’s Preliminary Exception Report) as part of any Mortgage File, or of a breach of any of the representations and warranties contained in Section 6 that materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s assignee, transferee or designee, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the Seller (in the case of a missing document) or the Responsible Party and the Seller (in the case of a breach of any of the representations and warranties contained in Section 6).  Within sixty (60) days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such
missing documentation that was not transferred to the Purchaser as described above, or of materially defective documentation, or of any such breach of a representation and warranty, the Responsible Party or the Seller (or their related designee), as applicable, promptly shall deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects or, in the event the Responsible Party or the Seller (or their related designee) cannot deliver such missing document or cannot cure such defect or breach, the Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable, shall, within ninety (90) days of its discovery or receipt of notice, either (i) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price (as such term is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) or (ii) pursuant to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, cause the removal of such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans. The Responsible Party or
the Seller, as applicable, shall amend the Closing Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of such Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Responsible Party or the Seller, as applicable, shall deliver to the Purchaser such amended Closing Schedule and shall deliver such other documents as are required by this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement within five (5) days of any such amendment. Any repurchase pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall be accomplished by transfer to an account designated by the Purchaser of the amount of the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any repurchase required by this Section shall be made in a manner consistent with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Responsible Party or receipt of notice by the Responsible Party of the breach of the representation of the Responsible Party set forth in Section 6(68) above which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Holders of the Class P Certificates in any Prepayment Charge, the Responsible Party shall pay the amount of the scheduled Prepayment Charge, for the benefit of the Holders of the Class P Certificates by remitting such amount to the Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, net of any amount previously collected by the Servicer or paid by the Servicer, for the benefit of the Holders of the Class P Certificates in respect of such Prepayment Charge.

(b)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to an alleged breach of a representation and warranty which breach is covered by a title insurance policy, the Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to enforce the provisions of any related title insurance policy prior to seeking a remedy against the Responsible Party or the Seller hereunder.

 

 

(c)        It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Responsible Party or the Seller set forth in this Section 7 to cure or repurchase a defective Mortgage Loan constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser against the Responsible Party or the Seller respecting a missing document or a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 6.

SECTION 8     Closing; Payment for the Mortgage Loans.  The closing of the purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans shall be held at the New York City office of Thacher Proffitt & Wood LLP at 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the Closing Date.

The closing shall be subject to each of the following conditions:

(a)        All of the representations and warranties of the Seller and the Responsible Party under this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date as of which they are made and no event shall have occurred which, with notice or the passage of time, would constitute a default under this Agreement;

(b)        The Purchaser shall have received, or the attorneys of the Purchaser shall have received in escrow (to be released from escrow at the time of closing), all Closing Documents as specified in Section 9 of this Agreement, in such forms as are agreed upon and acceptable to the Purchaser, duly executed by all signatories other than the Purchaser as required pursuant to the respective terms thereof;

(c)        The Seller shall have delivered or caused to be delivered and released to the Purchaser or to its designee, all documents (including without limitation, the Mortgage Loans) required to be so delivered by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and

(d)        All other terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall have been complied with.

Subject to the foregoing conditions, the Purchaser shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Seller on the Closing Date, against delivery and release by the Seller to the Trustee of all documents required pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the consideration for the Mortgage Loans as specified in Section 3 of this Agreement, by delivery to the Seller of the Purchase Price.

SECTION 9    Closing Documents.  Without limiting the generality of Section 8 hereof, the closing shall be subject to delivery of each of the following documents:

(a)        An Officer’s Certificate of the Seller, dated the Closing Date, in form satisfactory to and upon which the Purchaser and Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. (the “Representative”) may rely, and attached thereto copies of the certificate of formation, limited liability company agreement and certificate of good standing of the Seller;

(b)        An Opinion of Counsel of the Seller, dated the Closing Date, in form satisfactory to and addressed to the Purchaser and the Representative;

(f)         A letter from Deloitte & Touche LLP, certified public accountants, to the effect that they have performed certain specified procedures as a result of which they determined that certain information of an accounting, financial or statistical nature set forth in the Purchaser’s prospectus supplement for Series 2005-NC2, dated May 2, 2005 (the “Prospectus Supplement”) relating to the Offered Certificates contained under the captions “Summary—The Mortgage Loans,” “Risk Factors,” (to the extent of information concerning the Mortgage Loans contained therein) “The Mortgage Pool” agrees with the records of the Originator; and

(g)        Such further information, certificates, opinions and documents as the Purchaser or the Representative may reasonably request.

SECTION 10  Costs.  The Seller shall pay (or shall reimburse the Purchaser or any other Person to the extent that the Purchaser or such other Person shall pay) all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transfer and delivery of the Mortgage Loans, including without limitation, recording fees, fees for title policy endorsements and continuations and, except as set forth in Section 4(b), the fees for recording Assignments.

            SECTION 11
 	
            [Reserved].
 

 

 

 

SECTION 12  Indemnification.  The Responsible Party shall indemnify and hold harmless each of (i) the Purchaser, (ii) the Underwriter, (iii) the Person, if any, to which the Purchaser assigns its rights in and to a Mortgage Loan and each of their respective successors and assigns and (iv) each person, if any, who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) ((i) through (iv) collectively, the “Indemnified Party”) against any and all losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities to which the Indemnified Party may become subject, under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
any material fact contained in the Prospectus Supplement or any private placement memorandum relating to the offering by the Purchaser or an affiliate thereof, of the Class CE Certificates or the Class P Certificates, or the omission or the alleged omission to state therein the material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with (i) information furnished in writing to the Purchaser or any of its affiliates by the Seller or any of its affiliates specifically for use therein, which shall include, with respect to the Prospectus Supplement, the information set forth under the captions “Summary of Prospectus Supplement—The Mortgage Loans,” “Risk Factors” (to the extent of information concerning the Mortgage Loans contained therein), “The Mortgage
Pool,” “The Originator” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Servicer” and, with respect to any private placement memorandum, any information of a comparable nature, or (ii) the data files containing information with respect to the Mortgage Loans as transmitted by modem to the Purchaser by the Responsible Party or any of its affiliates (as such transmitted information may have been amended in writing by the Responsible Party or any of its affiliates with the written consent of the Purchaser subsequent to such transmission), (b) any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Responsible Party or any affiliate of the Responsible Party herein or in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, on which the Purchaser has relied, being, or alleged to be, untrue or incorrect or (c) any updated collateral information provided by any Underwriter to a purchaser of the Certificates derived from the data contained in clause (ii) and the Remittance Report or a
current collateral tape obtained from the Responsible Party or an affiliate of the Responsible Party, including the current Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that to the extent that any such losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities to which the Indemnified Party may become subject arise out of or are based upon both (1) statements, omissions, representations, warranties or covenants of the Seller described in clause (a), (b) or (c) above and (2) any other factual basis, the Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Party only to the extent that the losses, claims, expenses, damages, or liabilities of the person or persons asserting the claim are determined to rise from or be based upon matters set forth in clause (1) above and do not result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability that the Seller may otherwise have.

SECTION 13   Mandatory Delivery; Grant of Security Interest.  The sale and delivery on the Closing Date of the Mortgage Loans described on the Mortgage Loan Schedule in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement is mandatory. It is specifically understood and agreed that each Mortgage Loan is unique and identifiable on the date hereof and that an award of money damages would be insufficient to compensate the Purchaser for the losses and damages incurred by the Purchaser in the event of the Seller’s failure to deliver the 

 

 

Mortgage Loans on or before the Closing Date. The Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a lien on and a continuing security interest in the Seller’s interest in each Mortgage Loan and each document and instrument evidencing each such Mortgage Loan to secure the performance by the Seller of its obligation hereunder, and the Seller agrees that it holds such Mortgage Loans in custody for the Purchaser, subject to the Purchaser’s (i) right, prior to the Closing Date, to reject any Mortgage Loan to the extent permitted by this Agreement, and (ii) obligation to deliver or cause to be delivered the consideration for the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 8 hereof. Any Mortgage Loans rejected by the Purchaser shall concurrently therewith be released from the security interest created hereby. All rights and remedies of the Purchaser under this Agreement are distinct from, and cumulative with, any other
rights or remedies under this Agreement or afforded by law or equity and all such rights and remedies may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the Closing Date, each of the conditions set forth in Section 8 hereof shall have been satisfied and the Purchaser shall not have paid or caused to be paid the Purchase Price, or any such condition shall not have been waived or satisfied and the Purchaser determines not to pay or cause to be paid the Purchase Price, the Purchaser shall immediately effect the re-delivery of the Mortgage Loans, if delivery to the Purchaser has occurred, and the security interest created by this Section 12 shall be deemed to have been released.

SECTION 14  Notices.  All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered to or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, or transmitted by fax and, receipt of which is confirmed by telephone, if to the Purchaser, addressed to Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC, 383 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10179, (Telecopy: (212-272-7206)), Attention: Chief Counsel; or such other address as may hereafter be furnished to the Responsible Party and the Seller in writing by the Purchaser; if to the Responsible Party, addressed to the Responsible Party at 18400 Von Karman, Suite 1000, Irvine, California 92612, fax (949) 440-7033, or such other address as may hereafter be furnished to the Seller and the Purchaser in writing by the Responsible Party;
if to the Seller, addressed to the Seller at Stanwich Asset Acceptance Company, L.L.C.,  Nine Greenwich Office Park, Greenwich, Connecticut 06831, Attention:  Bruce M. Rose, or to such other address as the Seller may designate in writing to the Purchaser and the Responsible Party.

SECTION 15   Severability of Provisions.  Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement that is prohibited or that is held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the
parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof.

 

 

SECTION 16   Agreement of Parties. The Seller, the Responsible Party and the Purchaser each agree to execute and deliver such instruments and take such actions as either of the others may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the terms of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 17   Survival.  (a)  The Seller agrees that the representations, warranties and agreements made by it herein and in any certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant hereto shall be deemed to be relied upon by the Purchaser, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by the Purchaser or on its behalf, and that the representations, warranties and agreements made by the Seller herein or in any such certificate or other instrument shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Mortgage Loans and shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on the Mortgage Notes and notwithstanding subsequent termination of this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Trust Fund.

(b)        The Responsible Party agrees that the representations, warranties and agreements made by it herein and in any certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant hereto shall be deemed to be relied upon by the Seller and the Purchaser, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by the Seller or the Purchaser or on the behalf of either of them, and that the representations, warranties and agreements made by the Responsible Party herein or in any such certificate or other instrument shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding subsequent termination of this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Trust Fund.

SECTION 18   GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF OTHER THAN SECTION 5 1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW.

SECTION 19   Miscellaneous.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. The headings in this Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser as provided in Section 4 hereof be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser and not as a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Seller, then (a) it is the express intent of the parties that such 

 

 

conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller and (b) (1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; (2) the conveyance provided for in Section 4 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested in the Collection Account whether in the form of cash, instruments,
securities or other property; (3) the possession by the Purchaser or its agent of Mortgage Notes, the related Mortgages and such other items of property that constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession” by the secured party for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and (4) notifications to persons holding such property and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Any assignment of the interest of the Purchaser pursuant to Section 4(d) hereof shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereby. The Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this
Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

 

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Purchaser, the Seller and the Responsible Party have caused their names to be signed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date first above written.

General

1.          This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”)) in the Mortgage Loans in favor of the Purchaser which security interest is prior to all other liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Seller.

2.          The Mortgage Loans constitute “general intangibles” or “instruments” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

3.          The Collection Account and all subaccounts thereof constitute either a deposit account or a securities account.

4.          To the extent that payments and collections received or made with respect to the Mortgage Loans constitute securities entitlements, such payments and collections have been and will have been credited to the Collection Account.  The securities intermediary for the Collection Account has agreed to treat all assets credited to the Collection Account as “financial assets” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

Creation

5.          The Seller owns and has good and marketable title to the Mortgage Loans free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person, excepting only liens for taxes, assessments or similar governmental charges or levies incurred in the ordinary course of business that are not yet due and payable or as to which any applicable grace period shall not have expired, or that are being contested in good faith by proper proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established, but only so long as foreclosure with respect to such a lien is not imminent and the use and value of the property to which the lien attaches is not impaired during the pendency of such proceeding.

6.          The Seller has received all consents and approvals to the sale of the Mortgage Loans hereunder to the Purchaser required by the terms of the Mortgage Loans that constitute instruments.

7.          To the extent the Collection Account or subaccounts thereof constitute securities entitlements, certificated securities or uncertificated securities, the Seller has received all consents and approvals required to transfer to the Purchaser its interest and rights in the Collection Account hereunder.

Perfection

8.          The Seller has caused or will have caused, within ten days after the effective date of this Agreement, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper 

 

 

filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the sale of the Mortgage Loans from the Seller to the Purchaser and the security interest in the Mortgage Loans granted to the Purchaser hereunder.

9.          With respect to the Collection Account and all subaccounts that constitute deposit accounts, either:

(i)         the Seller has delivered to the Purchaser a fully-executed agreement pursuant to which the bank maintaining the deposit accounts has agreed to comply with all instructions originated by the Purchaser directing disposition of the funds in the Collection Account without further consent by the Seller; or

(ii)         the Seller has taken all steps necessary to cause the Purchaser to become the account holder of the Collection Account.

10.        With respect to the Collection Account or subaccounts thereof that constitute securities accounts or securities entitlements, either:

(i)         the Seller has caused or will have caused, within ten days after the effective date of this Agreement, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Collection Account granted by the Seller to the Purchaser; or

(ii)         the Seller has delivered to the Purchaser a fully-executed agreement pursuant to which the securities intermediary has agreed to comply with all instructions originated by the Purchaser relating to the Collection Account without further consent by the Purchaser; or

(iii)        the Seller has taken all steps necessary to cause the securities intermediary to identify in its records the Purchaser as the person having a security entitlement against the securities intermediary in the Collection Account.

Priority

11.        Other than the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, the Seller has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Mortgage Loans.  The Seller has not authorized the filing of, or is not aware of any financing statements against the Seller that include a description of collateral covering the Mortgage Loans other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Purchaser hereunder or that has been terminated.

12.        The Seller is not aware of any judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings against the Seller.

13.        The Trustee has in its possession all original copies of the Mortgage Notes that constitute or evidence the Mortgage Loans.  To the Seller’s knowledge, none of the instruments that constitute or evidence the Mortgage Loans has any marks or notations indicating 

 

 

that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Purchaser or its designee.  All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Seller in favor of the Purchaser in connection herewith describing the Mortgage Loans contain a statement to the following effect: “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Purchaser.”

14.        Neither the Collection Account nor any subaccount thereof is in the name of any person other than the Seller or the Purchaser or in the name of its nominee.  The Seller has not consented for the securities intermediary of the Collection Account to comply with entitlement orders of any person other than the Purchaser or its designee.

15.        Survival of Perfection Representations.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other transaction document, the Perfection Representations contained in this Schedule shall be continuing, and remain in full force and effect (notwithstanding any replacement of the Servicer or termination of the Servicer’s rights to act as such) until such time as all obligations under this Agreement have been finally and fully paid and performed.

16.        No Waiver.  The parties to this Agreement (i) shall not, without obtaining a confirmation of the then-current rating of the Certificates waive any of the Perfection Representations, and (ii) shall provide the Rating Agencies with prompt written notice of any breach of the Perfection Representations, and shall not, without obtaining a confirmation of the then-current rating of the Certificates (as determined after any adjustment or withdrawal of the ratings following notice of such breach) waive a breach of any of the Perfection Representations.

17.        Seller to Maintain Perfection and Priority.  The Seller covenants that, in order to evidence the interests of the Seller and the Purchaser under this Agreement, the Seller shall take such action, or execute and deliver such instruments (other than effecting a Filing (as defined below), unless such Filing is effected in accordance with this paragraph) as may be necessary or advisable (including, without limitation, such actions as are requested by the Purchaser) to maintain and perfect, as a first priority interest, the Purchaser’s security interest in the Mortgage Loans.  The Seller shall, from time to time and within the time limits established by law, prepare and present to the Purchaser or its designee to authorize (based in reliance on the Opinion of Counsel hereinafter provided for)
the Seller to file, all financing statements, amendments, continuations, initial financing statements in lieu of a continuation statement, terminations, partial terminations, releases or partial releases, or any other filings necessary or advisable to continue, maintain and perfect the Purchaser’s security interest in the Mortgage Loans as a first-priority interest (each a “Filing”).  The Seller shall present each such Filing to the Purchaser or its designee together with (x) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such Filing is (i) consistent with the grant of the security interest to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 19 of this Agreement, (ii) satisfies all requirements and conditions to such Filing in this Agreement and (iii) satisfies the requirements for a Filing of such type under the Uniform Commercial Code in the applicable jurisdiction (or if the Uniform Commercial Code does not apply, the applicable statute governing the perfection of security
interests), and (y) a form of authorization for the Purchaser’s signature.  Upon receipt of such Opinion of Counsel and form of authorization, the Purchaser shall promptly authorize in writing the Seller to, and the Seller shall, effect such Filing under the UCC without the signature of the Seller or the Purchaser where 

 

 

allowed by applicable law.  Notwithstanding anything else in the transaction documents to the contrary, the Seller shall not have any authority to effect a Filing without obtaining written authorization from the Purchaser or its designee.

APPENDIX E – Standard & Poor’s Anti-Predatory Lending Categorization

	
            REVISED February 07, 2005
 

 

 

Standard & Poor’s has categorized loans governed by anti-predatory lending laws in the Jurisdictions listed below into three categories based upon a combination of factors that include (a) the risk exposure associated with the assignee liability and (b) the tests and thresholds set forth in those laws. Note that certain loans classified by the relevant statute as Covered are included in Standard & Poor’s High Cost Loan Category because they included thresholds and tests that are typical of what is generally considered High Cost by the industry.

Further, in determining such aggregate amount, the Transferee may have included securities owned by subsidiaries of the Transferee, but only if such subsidiaries are consolidated with the Transferee in its financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and if the investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the Transferee’s direction.

If the answer to the foregoing question is “no”, the Transferee agrees that, in connection with any purchase of securities sold to the Transferee for the account of a third party (including any separate account) in reliance on Rule 144A, the Transferee will only purchase for the account of a third party that at the time is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A. In addition, the Transferee agrees that the Transferee will not purchase securities for a third party unless the Transferee has obtained a current representation letter from such third party or taken other appropriate steps contemplated by Rule 144A to 

 

 

conclude that such third party independently meets the definition of “qualified institutional buyer” set forth in Rule 144A.

8.          The Transferee will notify each of the parties to which this certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein. Until such notice is given, the Transferee’s purchase of the Certificates will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification as of the date of such purchase. In addition, if the Transferee is a bank or savings and loan as provided above, the Transferee agrees that it will furnish to such parties updated annual financial statements promptly after they become available.

The Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on transfers of the Class R Certificates to disqualified organizations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that applies to all transfers of the Class R Certificates after March 31, 1988; (ii) that such tax would be on the transferor or, if such transfer is through an agent (which person includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a non-Permitted Transferee, on the agent; (iii) that the person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the transferee furnishes to such person an affidavit that the transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of transfer, such person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false; and (iv) that each of the Class R Certificates may be a “noneconomic residual interest” within
the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code and that the transferor of a “noneconomic residual interest” will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

 

 

4.          The Owner is aware of the tax imposed on a “pass-through entity” holding the Class R Certificates if, at any time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity, a non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity. (For this purpose, a “pass-through entity” includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives.)

5.          The Owner is aware that the Trustee will not register the transfer of any Class R Certificate unless the transferee, or the transferee’s agent, delivers to the Trustee, among other things, an affidavit in substantially the same form as this affidavit. The Owner expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows or believes that any of the representations contained in such affidavit and agreement are false.

6.          The Owner consents to any additional restrictions or arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificates will only be owned, directly or indirectly, by an Owner that is a Permitted Transferee.

	
            7.
 	
            The Owner’s taxpayer identification number is _________________.
 

8.          The Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the face of the Class R Certificates and the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under which the Class R Certificates were issued (in particular, clauses (iii)(A) and (iii)(B) of Section 5.02(d) which authorize the Trustee to deliver payments to a person other than the Owner and negotiate a mandatory sale by the Trustee in the event that the Owner holds such Certificate in violation of Section 5.02(d)); and that the Owner expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such restrictions and provisions.

9.          The Owner is not acquiring and will not transfer the Class R Certificates in order to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.

10.        The Owner anticipates that it will, so long as it holds the Class R  Certificates, have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by the holder of such Class R Certificates, and hereby represents to and for the benefit of the person from whom it acquired the Class R Certificates that the Owner intends to pay taxes associated with holding such Class R Certificates as they become due, fully understanding that it may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the Class R Certificates.

11.        The Owner has no present knowledge that it may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as it holds the Class R Certificates.

12.        The Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it will be unable to pay any United States taxes owed by it so long as any of the Certificates remain outstanding.

13.        The Owner is not acquiring the Class R Certificates with the intent to transfer the Class R Certificates to any person or entity that will not have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by the holder of such Class R  Certificates, or that may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding, for so long as the Class R Certificates remain outstanding.

 

 

14.        The Owner will, in connection with any transfer that it makes of the Class R  Certificates, obtain from its transferee the representations required by Section 5.02(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under which the Class R Certificate were issued and will not consummate any such transfer if it knows, or knows facts that should lead it to believe, that any such representations are false.

15.        The Owner will, in connection with any transfer that it makes of the Class R  Certificates, deliver to the Trustee an affidavit, which represents and warrants that it is not transferring the Class R Certificates to impede the assessment or collection of any tax and that it has no actual knowledge that the proposed transferee: (i) has insufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by such transferee as holder of the Class R Certificates; (ii) may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as the Class R Certificates remains outstanding; and (iii) is not a “Permitted Transferee”.

16.        The Owner is a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in, or under the laws of, the United States or any political subdivision thereof, or an estate or trust whose income from sources without the United States may be included in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States.

17.        The Owner of the Class R Certificate, hereby agrees that in the event that the Trust Fund created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.01 thereof, the undersigned shall assign and transfer to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates (with respect to a termination of REMIC I) any amounts in excess of par received in connection with such termination.  Accordingly, in the event of such termination, the Trustee is hereby authorized to withhold any such amounts in excess of par and to pay such amounts directly to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates.  This agreement shall bind and be enforceable against any successor, transferee or assigned of the undersigned in the Class R Certificate. In connection with any transfer of the Class R Certificate, the Owner shall obtain an agreement substantially similar
to this clause from any subsequent owner.

2.          The Owner is not transferring the Class R Certificates (the “Residual Certificates”) to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.

3.          The Owner has no actual knowledge that the Person that is the proposed transferee (the “Purchaser”) of the Residual Certificates: (i) has insufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by such proposed transferee as holder of the Residual Certificates; (ii) may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as the Residual Certificates remain outstanding and (iii) is not a Permitted Transferee.

At the time of transfer, the Owner has conducted a reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the Purchaser as contemplated by Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that investigation, the Owner has determined that the Purchaser has historically paid its debts as they became due and has found no significant evidence to indicate that the Purchaser will not continue to pay its debts as they become due in the future. The Owner understands that the transfer of a Residual Certificate may not be respected for United States income tax purposes (and the Owner may continue to be liable for United States income taxes associated therewith) unless the Owner has conducted such an investigation.
