                             PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

                  The Depositor intends to sell pass-through certificates
(collectively, the "Certificates"), to be issued hereunder in multiple classes,
which in the aggregate shall evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest
in each REMIC (as defined herein) created hereunder. The Trust Fund shall
consist of a segregated pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans and

                                     REMIC I
                                     -------

                  As provided herein, the Trustee shall elect to treat the
segregated pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other
related assets (other than any Master Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment
Amounts, the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, the Swap Account and the
Interest Rate Swap Agreement) subject to this Agreement as a REMIC for federal
income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets shall be designated as

                  As provided herein, the Trustee shall elect to treat the
segregated pool of assets consisting of the REMIC II Regular Interests as a
REMIC for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets shall
be designated as "REMIC III." The Class R-III Interest shall evidence the sole

         Each Certificate, other than the Class P Certificate, the Class CE
Certificate and the Class R Certificates, represents ownership of a Regular
Interest in REMIC III and also represents (i) the right to receive payments with
respect to the Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount (as defined herein) and (ii) the
obligation to pay Class IO Distribution Amounts (as defined herein). The
entitlement to principal of the Regular Interest which corresponds to each
Certificate shall be equal in amount and timing to the entitlement to principal
of such Certificate.

                  Whenever used in this Agreement, including, without
limitation, in the Preliminary Statement hereto, the following words and
phrases, unless the context otherwise requires, shall have the meanings
specified in this Article. Unless otherwise specified, all calculations
described herein shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months and all calculations on each Regular Interest shall be made
on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days in the month.

                  "Accrued Certificate Interest": With respect to any Class of
Certificates (other than the Class P Certificates and the Residual Certificates)
and each Distribution Date, interest accrued during the related Interest Accrual
Period at the Pass-Through Rate for such Certificate for such Distribution Date
on the Certificate Principal Balance, in the case of the Adjustable-Rate
Certificates and the Fixed-Rate Certificates, or on the Notional Amount, in the
case of the Class CE Certificates, of such Certificate immediately prior to such
Distribution Date. The Class P Certificates are not entitled to distributions in
respect of interest and, accordingly, shall not accrue interest. All
distributions of interest on the Adjustable-Rate Certificates shall be
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days in the
applicable Interest Accrual Period. All distributions of interest on the
Fixed-Rate Certificates and the Class CE Certificates shall be based on a
360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Accrued Certificate Interest
with respect to each Distribution Date, as to any Class A Certificate or
Mezzanine Certificate, shall be reduced by an amount equal to the portion
allocable to such Certificate pursuant to Section 1.02 hereof of the sum of (a)
the aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfall, if any, for such Distribution Date
to the extent not covered by payments pursuant to Section 4.03(e) or allocated
to the Class CE Certificates pursuant to Section 1.02 and (b) the aggregate
amount of any Relief Act Interest Shortfall, if any, for such Distribution Date
not allocated to the Class CE Certificates pursuant to Section 1.02. Accrued
Certificate Interest with respect to each Distribution Date and any Class CE
Certificate shall be reduced by (a) Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, if any,
allocated to such Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 1.02 hereof, (b)
Relief Act Interest Shortfalls, if any, allocated to such Class of Certificates
pursuant to Section 1.02 hereof and (c) an amount equal to the portion of
Realized Losses, if any, allocable to interest on the Class CE Certificate
pursuant to Section 4.04 hereof.

                  "Adjustable-Rate Certificates": The Class A Certificates and
the Mezzanine Certificates.

                  "Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Loan": Each of the Mortgage Loans
identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as having a Mortgage Rate that is
subject to adjustment.

                  "Adjustment Date": With respect to each Adjustable-Rate
Mortgage Loan, the first day of the month in which the Mortgage Rate of such
Mortgage Loan changes pursuant to the related Mortgage Note. The first
Adjustment Date following the Cut-off Date as to each Adjustable-Rate Mortgage
Loan is set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule.

                  "Advance": As to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property, any
advance made by the Master Servicer or a successor Master Servicer in respect of
any Distribution Date representing the aggregate of all payments of principal
and interest, net of the Servicing Fee, that were due during the related Due

Determination Date, plus certain amounts representing assumed payments not
covered by any current net income on the Mortgaged Properties acquired by
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure as determined pursuant to Section
4.03.

                  "Affiliate": With respect to any specified Person, any other
Person controlling or controlled by or under common control with such specified
Person. For the purposes of this definition, "control," when used with respect
to any specified Person, means the power to direct the management and policies

securities, by contract or otherwise, and the terms "controlling" and
"controlled" have meanings correlative to the foregoing.

                  "Agreement": This Pooling and Servicing Agreement and all
amendments hereof and supplements hereto.

                  "Allocated Realized Loss Amount": With respect to any
Distribution Date and any Class of Mezzanine Certificates, the sum of (i) the
Realized Losses allocated to such Class of Certificates on such Distribution
Date and (ii) the amount of any Allocated Realized Loss Amount for such Class of
Certificates remaining undistributed from the previous Distribution Date,
reduced by the amount of the increase in the Certificate Principal Balance of
such Class of Certificates due to the receipt of Subsequent Recoveries as
provided in Section 4.01.

                  "Applicable Regulations": As to any Mortgage Loan, all
federal, state and local laws, statutes, rules and regulations applicable
thereto.

                  "Assignment": An assignment of Mortgage, notice of transfer or
equivalent instrument, in recordable form (excepting therefrom if applicable,
the mortgage recordation information which has not been returned by the
applicable recorder's office and/or the assignee's name), which is sufficient

                        ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES

                  SECTION 2.01. Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.

                  The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery
hereof, does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the
Trustee without recourse for the benefit of the Certificateholders all the
right, title and interest of the Depositor, including any security interest
therein for the benefit of the Depositor, in and to the Mortgage Loans
identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the rights of the Depositor under the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, all other assets included or to be included in

Administration Agreement and the Swap Account. Such assignment includes all
interest and principal received by the Depositor or the Master Servicer on or

                  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 (a
"Mortgage File"):

                  (i) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed in blank, without
         recourse, 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, or with respect to any lost Mortgage Note, an
         original Lost Note Affidavit; provided however, that such substitutions
         of Lost Note Affidavits for original Mortgage Notes may occur only with
         respect to Mortgage Loans, the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance
         of which is less than or equal to 2.00% of the Pool Balance as of the
         Cut-off Date;

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

                  (iii) an original Assignment assigned in blank, without
         recourse;

                  (iv) the original recorded intervening 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) or the original unrecorded
         intervening Assignments;

                  (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 or an
         attorney's opinion of title or similar guarantee of title acceptable to
         mortgage lenders generally in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged
         Property is located, together with all endorsements or riders which
         were issued with or subsequent to the issuance of such policy, 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.

                  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, or to the
appropriate Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, of a copy of each such document
certified by the applicable 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 applicable Originator, delivery to the Trustee, or to
the appropriate 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. 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, or to the appropriate 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 Trustee, or
to the appropriate 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 Master Servicer (in its capacity as Seller) shall promptly
(and in no event later than thirty (30) Business Days, subject to extension upon
a mutual agreement between the Master Servicer and the Trustee, following the
later of (i) the Closing Date, (ii) the date on which the Seller receives the
Assignment from the Custodian and (iii) the date of receipt by the Master
Servicer of the recording information for a Mortgage) submit or cause to be
submitted for recording, at no expense to the Trust Fund or the Trustee, in the
appropriate public office for real property records, each Assignment referred to
in Sections 2.01(iii) and (iv) above and shall execute each original Assignment
referred to in section 2.01(iii) above 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 Master Servicer (in its capacity as 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 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 further, however, each Assignment shall
be submitted for recording by the Seller 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 or the NIMS Insurer, (ii) failure of the Master Servicer
Termination Test, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency relating to
the Seller, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section
7.02 hereof and (v) if the Seller is not the Master Servicer and with respect to
any one Assignment or Mortgage, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or
foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Master Servicer is unable to pay the cost
of recording the Assignments, such expense shall be paid by the Trustee and
shall be reimbursable to the Trustee as an Extraordinary Trust Fund Expense.

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

                  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 HOEPA or any other applicable predatory or abusive
lending laws.

                  SECTION 2.02. Acceptance of REMIC I by the Trustee.

                  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to any
exceptions noted on the exception report described in the next paragraph below,
the Trustee acknowledges receipt (or, with respect to Mortgage Loans subject to
a Custodial Agreement, receipt by the respective Custodian as the duly appointed
agent of the Trustee) of the documents referred to in Section 2.01 (other than
such documents described in Section 2.01(v)) above and all interests 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, or such Custodian as its agent, holds and shall hold such
documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting a Mortgage File,
and that it holds or shall 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.

                  On or prior to the Closing Date, the Trustee agrees, for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, to execute and deliver (or cause the
Custodian to execute and deliver) to the Depositor and the NIMS Insurer an
acknowledgment of receipt of the Mortgage Note (with any exceptions noted),
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C-3 hereto.

                  The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders,
to review (or cause a Custodian on its behalf to review) each Mortgage Note
within 45 days of the Closing Date and to certify in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 (or cause the Custodian to certify in the form of
the Initial Certification attached to the Custodial Agreement) 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 or
such Custodian and are not mutilated, torn or defaced unless initialed by the
related borrower and relate to such Mortgage Loan, (iii) based on its or the
Custodian's examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set forth
in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items (1) through (3), (6),
(9), (10), (13), (15) and (19) 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 such Custodian 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, 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 deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer
a final certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C-2 (or shall cause
the Custodian to deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and
the NIMS Insurer a final certification in the form attached to the Custodial
Agreement) evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any
applicable exceptions noted thereon, with respect to all of the Mortgage Loans.
Upon the request of the Master Servicer, any exception report related to the
final certification shall be provided in an electronic computer readable format
as mutually agreed upon by the Master Servicer and the Trustee.

                  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 or any Custodian finds any document or documents constituting a part of
a Mortgage File to be missing, mutilated, torn or defaced or does not conform to
the requirements identified above, at the conclusion of its review the Trustee
(or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall so notify the Depositor, the
NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer. In addition, upon the discovery by the
Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of
any of the representations and warranties made by the Seller in the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially
adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the related
Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach
shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.

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

                  SECTION 2.03. Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by
                                the Seller or the Depositor; Payment of
                                Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts.

                  (a) Upon discovery or receipt of notice (including notice
under Section 2.02) of any materially defective document in, or that a document
is missing from, the Mortgage File or of the breach by the Seller of any
representation, warranty or covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects the value of
such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, the
Trustee shall promptly notify the Seller, the NIMS Insurer and the Master
Servicer of such defect, missing document or breach and request that the Seller
deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach within 90 days from
the date the Seller had knowledge or was notified of such missing document,
defect or breach, and if the Seller does not deliver such missing document or
cure such defect or breach in all material respects during such period, the
Master Servicer (or, in accordance with Section 6.06(b), the Trustee) shall
enforce the obligations of the Seller 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 Seller was notified (subject to Section
2.03(d)) of such missing document, defect or breach, if and to the extent that
the Seller is obligated to do so under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The
Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the
Collection Account, and the Trustee, upon receipt of written certification from
the Master Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the Seller the related
Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or
assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Seller shall furnish to it and
as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller any Mortgage Loan released pursuant
hereto, and the Trustee 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 Seller 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(c). It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure
or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document
is missing, a material defect in a 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 on behalf of the
Certificateholders.

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

                  (ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.03(b)(i)
above,

                  (A) on the later of (x) the Master Servicer Remittance Date
         next following the earlier of discovery by the Master Servicer or
         receipt of notice by the Master Servicer of the breach of the
         representation made by the Master Servicer in Section 2.05(vii), which
         breach materially and adversely affects the interests of the Holders of
         the Class P Certificates to any Prepayment Charge and (y) the Master
         Servicer Remittance Date next following the Prepayment Period relating
         to such a breach, the Master Servicer shall deposit into the Collection
         Account the amount of the scheduled Prepayment Charge, less any amount
         collected and deposited by the Master Servicer into the Collection
         Account in respect of such Prepayment Charge; and

                  (B) on the later of (x) the Master Servicer Remittance Date
         next following the earlier of discovery by the Master Servicer or
         receipt of notice by the Master Servicer of the breach of the covenant
         made by the Master Servicer in Section 2.05(viii), which breach
         materially and adversely affects the interests of the Holders of the
         Class P Certificates to any Prepayment Charge and (y) the Master
         Servicer Remittance Date next following the Prepayment Period relating
         to such a breach, the Master Servicer shall deposit into the Collection
         Account, as a Master Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amount, the
         amount of the waived Prepayment Charge, but only to the extent required
         under Section 2.03(b)(iii) below.

                  (iii) If with respect to any Prepayment Period,

                  (A) the dollar amount of Prepayment Charges that are the
         subject of breaches by the Master Servicer of the covenant made by the
         Master Servicer in Section 2.05(viii), which breaches materially and
         adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Class P
         Certificates to such Prepayment Charges, exceeds

                  (B) 5% of the total dollar amount of Prepayment Charges
         payable by Mortgagors in connection with Principal Prepayments on the
         related Mortgage Loans that occurred during such Prepayment Period,

then the amount required to be paid by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section
2.03(b)(ii)(B) above shall be limited to an amount, that when added to the
amount of Prepayment Charges actually collected by the Master Servicer in
respect of Prepayment Charges relating to Principal Prepayments on the related
Mortgage Loans that occurred during such Prepayment Period, shall yield a sum
equal to 95% of the total dollar amount of Prepayment Charges (exclusive of (A)
Prepayment Charges not enforced or collected upon because (i) the enforceability
thereof shall have been limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium,
receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors' rights generally or
(ii) the collectability thereof shall have been limited due to acceleration in
connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment and (B) Prepayment
Charges waived by the Master Servicer when such waiver does not breach the
covenant set forth in Section 2.05(viii)) payable by Mortgagors in connection
with Principal Prepayments on the related Mortgage Loans that occurred during
such Prepayment Period.

                  (c) Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans
for Deleted Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a), in the case of the
Seller, or Section 2.03(b), in the case of the Depositor, 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 Seller or the
Depositor substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such
substitution shall be effected by the Seller or the Depositor, as the case may
be, delivering to the Trustee (or a 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 Shortfall Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with
such substitution. The Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall
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 deliver to the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee and the
Master 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, the NIMS Insurer and
the Master 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 shall be retained by the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may
be. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders shall
reflect the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan on or before the
Due Date in the month of substitution, and the Depositor or the Seller, as the
case may be, 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, the NIMS Insurer
that such substitution has taken place, shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule
and, if applicable, the Prepayment Charge 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 NIMS Insurer. 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, in the case of a substitution effected by the
Seller, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including all applicable
representations and warranties thereof.

                  For any month in which the Depositor or the Seller substitutes
one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage
Loans, the Master Servicer shall determine the amount (the "Substitution
Shortfall Amount"), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such
Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate of, as to each such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Scheduled Principal Balance thereof as of the date
of substitution, together with one month's interest on such Scheduled Principal
Balance at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate. On the date of such substitution,
the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Master 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 Master Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the
Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, the related Mortgage File or Files
and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in
each case without recourse, as the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be,
shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted
Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.

                  In addition, the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be,
shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution shall 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.

                  (d) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the
Seller, the Master Servicer or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not
constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of
the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within two Business Days give
written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Seller
or the Depositor shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in
Section 2.03(c), 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 the Seller. 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 Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, the Mortgage
Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms
and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a
representation or warranty.

                  SECTION 2.04. [Reserved].

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

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

         Servicer in any state in which a Mortgaged Property is located or is
         otherwise not required under applicable law to effect such
         qualification and, in any event, is in compliance with the doing
         business laws of any such State, to the extent necessary to ensure its
         ability to enforce each Mortgage Loan and to service the Mortgage Loans
         in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

                  (ii) The Master Servicer has the full corporate power and

         Trustee, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the
         Master Servicer, enforceable against the Master Servicer in accordance
         with its terms, except to the extent that (a) the enforceability
         thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium,
         receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors' rights
         generally and (b) the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and
         other forms of equitable relief may be subject to the equitable
         defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding
         therefor may be brought;

                  (iii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
         Master Servicer, the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by the Master
         Servicer hereunder, the consummation of any other of the transactions
         herein contemplated, and the fulfillment of or compliance with the
         terms hereof are in the ordinary course of business of the Master
         Servicer and will not (A) result in a breach of any term or provision
         of the charter or by-laws of the Master Servicer or (B) conflict with,
         result in a breach, violation or acceleration of, or result in a
         default under, the terms of any other material agreement or instrument
         to which the Master Servicer is a party or by which it may be bound, or
         any statute, order or regulation applicable to the Master Servicer of
         any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body
         having jurisdiction over the Master Servicer; and the Master 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 Master Servicer's
         knowledge, would in the future materially and adversely affect, (x) the
         ability of the Master Servicer to perform its obligations under this
         Agreement or (y) the business, operations, financial condition,
         properties or assets of the Master Servicer taken as a whole;

                  (iv) The Master Servicer is an approved seller/servicer for
         Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac in good standing and is a HUD approved
         mortgagee pursuant to Section 203 and Section 211 of the National
         Housing Act;

                  (v) Except as disclosed in the Prospectus Supplement, no
         litigation is pending against the Master Servicer that would materially
         and adversely affect the execution, delivery or enforceability of this
         Agreement or the ability of the Master Servicer to service the Mortgage
         Loans or to perform any of its other obligations hereunder in
         accordance with the terms hereof;

                  (vi) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court
         or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery
         and performance by the Master Servicer of, or compliance by the Master
         Servicer with, this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions
         contemplated by this Agreement, except for such consents, approvals,
         authorizations or orders, if any, that have been obtained prior to the
         Closing Date;

                  (vii) The information set forth in the Prepayment Charge
         Schedule attached hereto as Schedule 2 (including the prepayment charge
         summary attached thereto) is complete, true and correct in all material
         respects at the date or dates respecting which such information is
         furnished and each Prepayment Charge is permissible and enforceable in
         accordance with its terms (except to the extent that (i) the
         enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
         moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors'
         rights generally and (ii) the collectability thereof may be limited due
         to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary
         payment;

                  (viii) The Master Servicer shall not waive any Prepayment
         Charge or part of a Prepayment Charge unless, (i) the enforceability
         thereof shall have been limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium,
         receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors' rights
         generally or (ii) the collectability thereof shall have been limited
         due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other
         involuntary payment or (iii) in the Master Servicer's reasonable
         judgment as described in Section 3.01 hereof, (x) such waiver relates
         to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default, (y) such waiver would
         maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of
         such Prepayment Charge and related Mortgage Loan and (z) doing so is
         standard and customary in servicing similar Mortgage Loans (including
         any waiver of a Prepayment Charge in connection with a refinancing of a
         Mortgage Loan that is related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable
         default). In no event shall the Master Servicer waive a Prepayment
         Charge in connection with a refinancing of a Mortgage Loan that is not
         related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default;

                  (ix) The information set forth in the "monthly tape" provided
         to the Trustee or any of its affiliates is true and correct in all
         material respects;

                  (x) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Assignment is in
         recordable form; (except that the name of the assignee and the
         recording information with respect to such Mortgage Loan is blank) and
         each Mortgage Loan was originated in the name of the Master Servicer or
         an affiliate thereof;

                  (xi) The Master Servicer has fully furnished and shall
         continue to fully furnish, 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 or their
         successors on a monthly basis; and

                  (xii) The Master Servicer shall transmit full-file credit
         reporting data for each Mortgage Loan pursuant to Fannie Mae Guide
         Announcement 95-19 and for each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer
         shall report one of the following statuses each month as follows: new
         origination, current, delinquent (30-, 60-, 90-days, etc.), foreclosed,
         or charged-off.

                  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 or to a Custodian, as the case may be, and
shall inure to the benefit of the Trustee, the Depositor and the
Certificateholders. Upon discovery by any of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer,
the Master 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, Prepayment Charge 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 NIMS Insurer and the Trustee. Subject to Section 7.01, the
obligation of the Master Servicer set forth in Section 2.03(b) to cure breaches
(or in the case of the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in
Section 2.05(vii) and Section 2.05(viii) above, to otherwise remedy such
breaches pursuant to Section 2.03(b)) shall constitute the sole remedies against
the Master Servicer available to the Certificateholders, the Depositor or the
Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders respecting a breach of the
representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Section 2.05. The
preceding sentence shall not, however, limit any remedies available to the
Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders (other than in the case of the representations, warranties
and covenants set forth in Section 2.05(vii) and Section 2.05(viii) above)
pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement signed by the Master Servicer
in its capacity as Seller, respecting a breach of the representations,
warranties and covenants of the Master Servicer in its capacity as Seller
contained in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

                  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-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 Certificateholders and REMIC II (as holder of the REMIC I
Regular Interests) to receive distributions from the proceeds of REMIC I in
respect of the Class R-I Interest and the REMIC I Regular Interests,
respectively, 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 and REMIC III by the
                                Trustee.

                  (a) The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and
delivery hereof, does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey in
trust to the Trustee without recourse all the right, title and interest of the
Depositor in and to the assets described in the definition of REMIC I for the
benefit of the Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests (which are
uncertificated) and the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class R-I
Interest). The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the assets described in the
definition of REMIC I and declares that it holds and shall hold the same in
trust for the exclusive use and benefit of the Holders of the REMIC I Regular
Interests and the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class R-I Interest).
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.

                  (b) The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and
delivery hereof, does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey in
trust to the Trustee without recourse all the right, title and interest of the
Depositor in and to the REMIC I Regular Interests (which are uncertificated) for
the benefit of the Holders of the REMIC II Regular Interests and the Class R
Certificates (in respect of the Class R-II Interest). The Trustee acknowledges
receipt of the REMIC I Regular Interests and declares that it holds and shall
hold the same in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of the Holders of the
REMIC II Regular Interests and the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class
R-II Interest). The interests evidenced by the Class R-II Interest, together
with the REMIC II Regular Interests, constitute the entire beneficial ownership
interest in REMIC II.

                  (c) The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and
delivery hereof, does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey in
trust to the Trustee without recourse all the right, title and interest of the
Depositor in and to the REMIC II Regular Interests (which are uncertificated)
for the benefit of the Holders of the REMIC III Regular Interests and the Class
R Certificates (in respect of the Class R-III Interest). The Trustee
acknowledges receipt of the REMIC II Regular Interests and declares that it
holds and shall hold the same in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of the
Holders of the REMIC III Regular Interests and the Class R Certificates (in
respect of the Class R-III Interest). The interests evidenced by the Class R-III
Interest, together with the Regular Certificates and the Class SWAP-IO Interest,
constitute the entire beneficial ownership interest in REMIC III.

                                  ARTICLE III

                          ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
                              OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS

                    SECTION 3.01.     Master Servicer to Act as Master Servicer.

                   The Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage
Loans on behalf of the Trustee and in the best interests of and for the benefit
of the Certificateholders (as determined by the Master Servicer in its
reasonable judgment) in accordance with (i) the terms of the respective Mortgage
Loans and any insurance policies related thereto, (ii) all Applicable
Regulations, (iii) the terms of this Agreement, (iv) the Loss Mitigation Action
Plan, if applicable, and (v) to the extent consistent with the preceding
requirements, in the same manner in which it services and administers similar
mortgage loans for its own portfolio, giving due consideration to customary and
usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage lenders and loan servicers
administering similar mortgage loans but without regard to:

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

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

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

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

                  Subject only to the above-described servicing standards and
the terms of this Agreement and of the respective Mortgage Loans, the Master
Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through
Sub-Servicers as provided in Section 6.06, to do or cause to be done any and all
things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem
necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Master Servicer in its own name or in the name of a Sub-Servicer is hereby
authorized and empowered by the Trustee, in accordance with the servicing
standards set forth above, (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee, any and all instruments of satisfaction or
cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, or of forbearance, or
of modification and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the
Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties, (ii) to institute foreclosure
proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure to convert the ownership of
such properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such properties, in
the name of the Trust Fund, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders,
(iii) to market, sell and transfer title of REO Properties held in the name of
the Trust Fund to third party purchasers upon terms and conditions the Master
Servicer deems reasonable under the Servicing Standard, (iv) to bring or respond
to civil actions or complaints (in its own name or that of the Trust Fund or the
Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund) related to any Mortgage Loan, Mortgaged
Property or REO Property held by the Trust Fund and (v) to execute any other
document necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to carry out its
servicing and administrative duties hereunder consistent with the Servicing
Standard.

                  At the written request of the Master Servicer, the Trustee
shall execute and furnish to the Master Servicer such documents as are necessary
or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to carry out its servicing and
administrative duties hereunder. By execution of this Agreement, the Trustee, on
behalf of the Trust Fund, hereby grants to the Master Servicer a power of
attorney to execute any and all documents necessary to carry out any and all
servicing duties described in this Agreement (including the taking of and
transferring title of REO Properties to third parties held in the name of the
Trustee for the benefit of the Trust) and expressly confirms that this paragraph
along with the face page and a copy of the signature page (duly executed) to
this Agreement shall constitute the power of attorney for evidentiary and/or
recording purposes. The Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of the
Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicers under such powers of attorney.

                  Subject to Section 3.04(d) hereof, in accordance with the
Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced
funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the timely payment of taxes and
assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be Servicing
Advances reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the
Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.04(d), and further as provided in Section
3.05(a). Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or by Sub-Servicers in
effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on a Mortgaged Property
shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders,
be added to the unpaid Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan,
notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit.

                  Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Master
Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to
the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant
indulgence to any Mortgagor if such waiver, modification, postponement or
indulgence is in conformity with the Servicing Standard; provided, however,
that:

                  (A) the Master Servicer shall not make future advances (except
         as provided in Section 4.03);

                  (B) the Master Servicer shall not permit any modification with
         respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Rate, defer
         or forgive the payment of any principal or interest payments, reduce
         the outstanding Stated Principal Balance (except for reductions
         resulting from actual payments of principal) or extend the final
         maturity date on such Mortgage Loan (unless as provided in Section
         3.02, (i) the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan
         or (ii) such default is, in the judgment of the Master Servicer,
         reasonably foreseeable); and

                  (C) the Master Servicer shall not consent to (i) partial
         releases of Mortgages, (ii) alterations, (iii) removal, demolition or
         division of properties subject to Mortgages, (iv) modification or (v)
         second mortgage subordination agreements with respect to any Mortgage
         Loan that would: (i) affect adversely the status of any Trust REMIC as
         a REMIC, (ii) cause any Trust REMIC to be subject to a tax on
         "prohibited transactions" or "contributions" pursuant to the REMIC
         Provisions, or (iii) both (x) effect an exchange or reissuance of such
         Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or Treasury regulations
         promulgated thereunder) and (y) cause any Trust REMIC constituting part
         of the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the
         imposition of any tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions"
         after the Startup Day under the REMIC Provisions.

                  To the extent consistent with the terms of this Agreement,
including Section 2.03 and Section 2.05, the Master Servicer may 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 relates to a default or a reasonably
foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the Master
Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of
such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan.

                  The Master Servicer may delegate its responsibilities under
this Agreement; provided, however, that no such delegation shall release the
Master Servicer from the responsibilities or liabilities arising under this
Agreement. All references to Master Servicer in this Agreement shall be deemed
to include any Sub-Servicer duly appointed by the Master Servicer pursuant to
this Agreement.

                  SECTION 3.02. Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.

                  The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect
all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans,
and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement
and the terms and provisions of any 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 Master Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late
payment charge or, if applicable, penalty interest, (ii) waive any provision of
any Mortgage Loan requiring the related Mortgagor to submit to mandatory
arbitration with respect to disputes arising thereunder or (iii) extend the due
dates for the Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not
greater than 180 days; provided that any extension pursuant to clause (iii)
above shall not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for
purposes of any computation hereunder. The NIMS Insurer's prior written consent
shall be required for any modification, waiver or amendment if the aggregate
number of outstanding Mortgage Loans which have been modified, waived or amended
exceeds 5% of the number of Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date. In the event
of any such arrangement pursuant to clause (iii) above, the Master Servicer
shall make timely advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant
to Section 4.03 and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such
Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage
Loan is in default or, in the judgment of the Master Servicer, such default is
reasonably foreseeable, the Master Servicer, consistent with the Servicing
Standard, 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, 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
determining which course of action permitted by this sentence it shall pursue,
the Master Servicer shall adhere to the Loss Mitigation Action Plan. The Master
Servicer's analysis supporting any forbearance and the conclusion that any
forbearance meets the standards of Section 3.01 and the Loss Mitigation Action
Plan shall be reflected in writing in the Mortgage File.

                  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 Master Servicer in a manner not consistent with the terms
of the related Mortgage Note and this Agreement, the Master Servicer, upon
discovery or receipt of notice thereof, immediately shall deliver to the Trustee
for deposit in the Distribution Account from its own funds the amount of any
such shortfall and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund, the
Trustee, the Depositor and any successor master servicer in respect of any such
liability. Such indemnities shall survive the termination or discharge of this
Agreement.

                  SECTION 3.03. [Reserved].

                  SECTION 3.04. Collection Account, Escrow Account and
                                Distribution Account.

                  (a) COLLECTION ACCOUNT. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the
Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received
pursuant to each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and
general assets and shall establish and maintain in the name of the Trustee one

accordance with this Section 3.04, held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee
and the Certificateholders.

                  (b) DEPOSITS TO THE COLLECTION ACCOUNT. On behalf of the Trust

mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than
one Business Day after the Master Servicer's receipt thereof, and shall
thereafter deposit in the Collection Account, in no event more than two Business
Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account, as and when
received or as otherwise required hereunder, and retain therein, the following
payments and collections received or made by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date
with respect to the Mortgage Loans, 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 and REO Properties;

                  (ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans
         and REO Properties adjusted to the Net Mortgage Rate;

         from the Master Servicer's own funds, without reimbursement therefor;

                  (vi) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master
         Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06 in connection with any losses

         Collection Account;

                  (vii) all amounts required to be deposited in connection with
         shortfalls in principal amount of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans
         pursuant to Section 2.03 (for purposes of this clause (vii), the

         shall be deemed to be the date of substitution);

         Servicer pursuant to Section 4.03(b);

                  (ix) all Prepayment Charges collected by the Master Servicer,

         Payment Amounts payable by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section
         2.03(b)(ii)(B) as limited by Section 2.03(b)(iii); and

                  (x) without duplication, all payments of claims under the PMI
         Policy.

                  The foregoing requirements for deposit to 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, assumption fees, insufficient funds charges, modification fees and
other ancillary fees (but not Prepayment Charges) need not be deposited by the
Master Servicer in the Collection Account and shall upon collection, belong to
the Master Servicer as additional compensation for its servicing activities. In
the event the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amount
not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount
from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.

                  (c) ESCROW ACCOUNT. The Master Servicer shall segregate and
hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which
constitute Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and
general assets and shall establish and maintain in the name of the Trustee one
or more accounts (such account or accounts, the "Escrow Account") held in trust
for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee.

                  (d) DEPOSITS TO THE ESCROW ACCOUNT. The Master Servicer shall
deposit or cause to be deposited in the clearing account (which account must be
an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections
on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a
daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Master
Servicer's receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the Escrow Account,
in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the
clearing account, as and when received or as otherwise required hereunder, and
retain therein:

                  (i) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage
         Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as
         required under the terms of this Agreement; and

                  (ii) all Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the
         restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property.

                  (e) DISTRIBUTION ACCOUNT. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the
Trustee shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to
this Agreement separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets
and shall establish and maintain in the name of the Trust Fund one or more
segregated accounts (such account or accounts, the "Distribution Account"), held
in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

                  (f) TRUSTEE DEPOSITS TO THE DISTRIBUTION ACCOUNT. Upon
receipt, the Trustee shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the
Distribution Account all payments of any nature received from the Master
Servicer in accordance with this Agreement. The Trustee shall deposit in the
Distribution Account any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section
3.06 in connection with losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to
funds held in the Distribution Account. Furthermore, promptly upon receipt of
any Stayed Funds, whether from the Master Servicer, a trustee in bankruptcy, or
federal bankruptcy court or other source, the Trustee shall deposit such funds
in the Distribution Account, subject to withdrawal thereof pursuant to Section
7.02(b) or as otherwise permitted hereunder.

                  (g) MASTER SERVICER TRANSFER OF FUNDS TO THE DISTRIBUTION
ACCOUNT. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee in immediately available funds for deposit in the Distribution Account
by 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date, (i) that
portion of Available Funds (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, (ii) without duplication, the amount of all Prepayment
Charges collected by the Master Servicer, all Prepayment Charges payable by the
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(ii)(A) and all Master Servicer
Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts payable by the Master Servicer pursuant to

Prepayment Period) and (iii) any amounts reimbursable to an Advancing Person
pursuant to Section 3.23 and the terms of the related Advance Facility.

                  In addition, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee
from time to time as required by this Agreement, for deposit and the Trustee
shall so deposit, in the Distribution Account:

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

         Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the Collection
         Account; and

                  (vii) any amounts required to be paid to the Trustee from the
         assets of the Trust Fund on deposit in the Collection Account pursuant
         to this Agreement, including but not limited to amounts required to be

                  Funds held in the Collection Account pursuant to Section
3.04(b) may at any time be delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trustee for
deposit into the Distribution Account and for all purposes of this Agreement
shall be deemed to be a part of the Collection Account until the Business Day
prior to the Distribution Date; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have
the sole authority to withdraw any funds held pursuant to this paragraph. In the
event the Master 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.

                  (h) INVESTMENT OF ACCOUNT FUNDS. Funds on deposit in the
Collection Account, the Distribution Account, any REO Account and any Escrow
Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the
provisions set forth in Section 3.06. Any investment earnings or interest paid
on funds deposited in the Collection Account, any REO Account and any Escrow
Account (subject to Section 3.05(b)) shall accrue to the benefit of the Master
Servicer and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such
interest from each such account on a daily basis. Any investment earnings or
interest paid on funds deposited in the Distribution Account, shall accrue to
the benefit of the Trustee and the Trustee shall be entitled to retain and
withdraw such interest from each such account on a daily basis.

                   (i) CREATION, LOCATION AND SUBSEQUENT TRANSFERS OF ACCOUNTS.
Each account created pursuant to this Agreement must be an Eligible Account. On
or prior to the Closing Date, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall give
notice, to each other, the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor of the location of any
account created by it pursuant to this Agreement. From time to time, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee may each transfer any account created by it to a
different depository institution provided that upon such transfer the written
notice is provided to all other parties listed in the preceding sentence.

                  (j) In order to comply with its duties under the U.S.A.
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.

                  SECTION 3.05. Permitted Withdrawals From the Collection
                                Account, Escrow Account and Distribution
                                Account.

                  (a) COLLECTION ACCOUNT. The Master Servicer may, from time to
time, withdraw from the Collection Account for the following purposes or as

         3.04(g) or permitted to be so remitted pursuant to the last paragraph
         of Section 3.04(g);

                  (ii) subject to Section 3.12(c), to reimburse itself for (a)
         any unpaid Servicing Fees, (b) any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and
         (c) any unreimbursed Advances, the Master Servicer's right to reimburse
         itself pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to any Late
         Collections, Liquidation Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and Insurance
         Proceeds received on the related Mortgage Loan and any amounts received
         in respect of the rental of the related REO Property prior to an REO
         Disposition that represent payments of principal and/or interest
         respecting which any such advance was made;

                  (iii) to reimburse itself for (a) any unpaid Servicing Fees to
         the extent not recoverable under Section 3.05(a)(ii) and (b) any unpaid
         Advances or Servicing Advances that have been deemed Nonrecoverable
         Advances or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances;

                  (iv) to pay to itself any Prepayment Interest Excess;

                  (vi) to pay to itself as servicing compensation any interest
         earned on funds in the Collection Account;

                  (vii) subject to Section 4.03(b), to reimburse the Master
         Servicer in respect of any unreimbursed Advances to the extent of funds
         held in the Collection Account for future distribution that were not
         included in Available Funds for the preceding Distribution Date;

                  (viii) to reimburse the Master Servicer or the Depositor for

         7.02(a) and Section 8.05 of this Agreement;

                  (x) to reimburse the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer (if the
         Master Servicer is not an Affiliate of the Seller) 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;

                  (xi) to pay to the Master Servicer, the Depositor 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(a) all amounts received thereon subsequent to the date of
         purchase or substitution, as the case may be;

                  (xii) to transfer funds in the Collection Account maintained
         at a particular depository to the Collection Account maintained at a
         different depository, pursuant to Section 3.04(i);

                  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
shall be remitted to the Trustee, but only if the Collection Account constitutes
an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of
"Eligible Account." If the balance on deposit in the Collection Account exceeds
$75,000 as of the commencement of business on any Business Day and the
Collection Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause
(ii) of the definition of "Eligible Account," the Master Servicer shall, on or
before 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 Master Servicer, the Trustee or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05
and shall pay such amounts to the Persons entitled thereto.

                  The foregoing requirements for withdrawal from the Collection
Account shall be exclusive. In the event the Master Servicer shall deposit in
the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may
at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision
herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

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

                  (b) ESCROW ACCOUNT. The Master Servicer may, from time to
time, withdraw from the Escrow Account for the following purposes:

                  (i) to effect payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments,
         water rates, hazard insurance premiums and comparable items;

                  (ii) to reimburse the Master Servicer for any Servicing
         Advance made by the Master Servicer with respect to a related Mortgage
         Loan but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which
         represent late payments or Late Collections of Escrow Payments
         thereunder;

                  (iii) to refund to the Mortgagor any funds as may be
         determined to be overages;

                  (iv) for transfer to the Collection Account in accordance with
         the terms of this Agreement;

                  (v) for application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged
         Property;

                  (vi) to pay to the Master Servicer, or to the Mortgagor to the
         extent required by the related Mortgage Loan or Applicable Regulations,
         any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account;

                  (vii) to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the
         termination of this Agreement; and

                  (viii) to transfer to the Collection Account any Insurance
         Proceeds.

                  In the event the Master Servicer shall deposit in an Escrow
Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time
withdraw such amount from such Escrow Account, any provision herein to the
contrary notwithstanding. As part of its servicing duties, the Master Servicer
shall pay to the Mortgagor interest on funds in the Escrow Account, to the
extent required by the related Mortgage Loan or Applicable Regulations, and to
the extent that interest earned on funds in the Escrow Account is insufficient,
shall pay such interest from its own funds, without any reimbursement therefor.
The Master Servicer may pay to itself any excess interest on funds in the Escrow
Account, 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.

                  (c) DISTRIBUTION ACCOUNT. The Trustee shall, from time to
time, make withdrawals from the Distribution Account, for any of the following
purposes:

                  (i) to make distributions to the Swap Account in accordance
         with Section 4.09;

                  (ii) to make distributions to Certificateholders in accordance
         with Section 4.01;

                  (iii) to pay to itself amounts to which it is entitled
         pursuant to Section 8.05;

                  (iv) to pay itself any interest income earned on funds
         deposited in the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.06;

                  (v) to reimburse itself pursuant to Section 7.01 and Section
         7.02(b);

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

                  (vii) [reserved]; and

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

                  SECTION 3.06. Investment of Funds in the Collection Account,
                                the Escrow Account, the REO Account and the
                                Distribution Account.

                  (a) The Master Servicer may direct any depository institution
maintaining the Collection Account, the Escrow Account (subject to Section
3.05(b)), and the REO Account and the Trustee may direct any depository
institution maintaining the Distribution Account (for purposes of this Section
3.06, each 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 Investment Account pursuant to
this Agreement, if the Trustee is the obligor thereon. All such Permitted
Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment
of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the 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, the Escrow Account, and the
REO Account) over each such investment and (except with respect to the income on
funds held in the Collection Account, the Escrow Account and the REO Account)
the income thereon, 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 Trustee shall:

                  (i) 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

                  (ii) 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 in the nature of interest from the investment
of funds in the Collection Account, the Escrow Account (subject to Section
3.05(b)) and the REO Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer as
compensation for the Master Servicer's services pursuant to this Agreement. The
Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account, the Escrow Account, and
the REO Account , as applicable, from its own funds the amount of any loss
incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such
account immediately upon realization of such loss.

                  (c) All income in the nature of interest or earnings from the
investment of funds in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the
Trustee as compensation for the Trustee's services pursuant to this Agreement.
The Trustee shall deposit in the Distribution Account from its own funds the
amount of any loss incurred on Permitted Investments in the Distribution
Account.

                  (d) Funds on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with Section 4.11
and any investment earnings or interest paid shall accrue to the benefit of the
party designated in such section and the party so designated shall deposit in
the related account from its own funds the amount of any loss incurred on
Permitted Investments in such account.

                  (e) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement,
if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted
Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any
Permitted Investment, the Trustee may and, subject to Section 8.01 and Section
8.02(a)(v), upon the request of the NIMS Insurer or 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.

                  (f) The Trustee or its Affiliates are permitted to receive
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 pursuant to Section 3.05.

                  SECTION 3.07. Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges.

                  With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall
maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes,
assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon
the Mortgaged Property and the status of fire and hazard insurance coverage and,
as to those Mortgage Loans subject to a voluntary escrow agreement, shall
obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges (including
renewal premiums) and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable
penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum
discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the
Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Master
Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of
the Mortgage or Applicable Regulations. The Master Servicer assumes full
responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely
payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor's faithful performance
in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make
Servicing Advances from its own funds to effect such payments. To the extent
that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Master Servicer
shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to determine
that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become
due and shall ensure that the Mortgaged Property is not lost to a tax lien as a
result of nonpayment and that such Mortgaged Property is not left uninsured.

                  SECTION 3.08. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

                  The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each
Mortgage Loan fire insurance with extended coverage on the related Mortgaged
Property in an amount which is at least equal to the least of (i) the current
Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan, (ii) the amount necessary to
fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of
such property on a replacement cost basis and (iii) the maximum insurable value
of the improvements which are a part of such Mortgaged Property, in each case in
an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to avoid the application of
any coinsurance clause contained in the related hazard insurance policy. The
Master Servicer shall also cause to be maintained fire insurance with extended
coverage on each REO Property in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser
of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such
property and (ii) the outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the related
Mortgage Loan, plus accrued interest at the Mortgage Rate and related Servicing
Advances (each measured at the time it became an REO Property). The Master
Servicer shall comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable
rules and requirements of each insurer under any such hazard policies. Any
amounts to be collected by the Master Servicer under any such policies (other
than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject
to the related Mortgage or amounts to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance
with the procedures that the Master Servicer would follow in servicing loans
held for its own account, subject to the terms and conditions of the related
Mortgage and Mortgage Note) shall be deposited in the Collection Account,
subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05, if received in respect of a
Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section
3.13, if received in respect of an REO Property. Any cost incurred by the Master
Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of
calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid 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, the
Master Servicer shall 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 Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan; (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); and (iii) the
maximum insurable value of the improvements which are part of the related
Mortgaged Property.

                  SECTION 3.09. Maintenance of Mortgage Blanket Insurance.

                  In the event that the Master Servicer shall obtain and
maintain a blanket policy with an insurer having a General Policy Rating of
"A:V" 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 Section 3.08, it being understood and agreed
that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master
Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the
related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with the first two
sentences of Section 3.08, and there shall have been one or more losses which
would have been covered by such policy, deposit to the Collection Account from
its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because
of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as administrator
and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to prepare and
present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims
under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms
of such policy.

                  SECTION 3.10. Fidelity Bond; Errors and Omissions Insurance.

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

                  SECTION 3.11. Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption
                                Agreements.

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

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision
of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default,
breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any
assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or by the terms of the
Mortgage Note or any assumption which the Master Servicer may be restricted by
law from preventing, for any reason whatever. For purposes of this Section 3.11,
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 3.12. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

                  (a) The Master Servicer shall, consistent with the Servicing
Standard and the Loss Mitigation Action Plan, 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 3.02. The Master Servicer shall be responsible for all costs and
expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that such
costs and expenses shall be recoverable as Servicing Advances by the Master
Servicer as contemplated in Section 3.05 and Section 3.13. The foregoing is
subject to the provision that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall
have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Master Servicer shall not be
required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless
it shall determine in its discretion that such restoration shall 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
3.12 or any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan
as to which the Master Servicer has received actual notice of, or has actual
knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on the related
Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trustee,
either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of
foreclosure or otherwise or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, or take any
other action with respect to, such Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any
such action, the Trustee, the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders would be
considered to hold title to, to be a "mortgagee-in-possession" of, or to be an
"owner" or "operator" of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as
amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Master Servicer has
also previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a report
prepared by a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary
industry standards, that:

                  (i) 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

                  (ii) 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.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such environmental audit
reveals, or if the Master Servicer has actual knowledge or notice, that such
Mortgaged Property contains such toxic or hazardous wastes or substances, the
Master Servicer shall not foreclose or accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure
without the prior written consent of the NIMS Insurer.

                  The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by
this Section 3.12 shall be advanced by the Master Servicer, subject to the
Master Servicer's right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as
provided in Section 3.05(a)(v), such right of reimbursement being prior to the
rights of Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account
received in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.

                  If the Master Servicer determines, as described above, that it
is in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are
necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable
environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment,
clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous
wastes or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then
the Master Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best
economic interest of the Trust Fund; provided, however, that the Master Servicer
shall not proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of
foreclosure if the estimated costs of the environmental clean up, as estimated
in the environmental audit report, together with the Advances made by the Master
Servicer and the estimated costs of foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu
of foreclosure exceeds the estimated value of the Mortgaged Property. The cost
of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall be advanced by
the Master Servicer, subject to the Master Servicer's right to be reimbursed
therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.05(a)(v), 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) Proceeds received in connection with any Final Recovery
Determination, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of
Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries or Liquidation Proceeds, in respect of
any Mortgage Loan, shall be applied in the following order of priority: FIRST,
to reimburse the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for any related
unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances, pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(ii);
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 shall be allocated by the Master Servicer as follows: FIRST, to
unpaid Servicing Fees; and SECOND, to the balance of the interest then due and
owing. The portion of the recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall
be reimbursed to the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section
3.05(a)(ii).

                  SECTION 3.13. Title, Management and Disposition of REO
                                Property.

                  (a) The deed or certificate of sale of any REO Property shall
be taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee, in trust for the benefit of
the Certificateholders. Pursuant to the power of attorney granted in Section
3.01, the Master Servicer is hereby authorized to transfer the title of any REO
Property taken in the name of the Trustee to a third party purchaser pursuant to
this Section 3.13 without further documentation of its authority as
attorney-in-fact for the Trustee on behalf of the Trust. The Master Servicer, on
behalf of the Trust Fund (and on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders), shall either sell any REO Property before the close of the
third taxable year after the year the Trust Fund acquires ownership of such REO
Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or request from the
Internal Revenue Service, no later than 60 days before the day on which the
three-year grace period would otherwise expire, an extension of the three-year
grace period, unless the Master Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee,
the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the
Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor, to the effect that the holding by
the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to three years after its
acquisition shall 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 Master Servicer shall manage,
conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the benefit of the
Certificateholders and solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale
in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as
"foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or
result in the receipt by any Trust REMIC of any "income from non-permitted
assets" within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code, or any "net
income from foreclosure property" which is subject to taxation under the REMIC
Provisions.

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

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

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

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

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

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

                  Notwithstanding the Master Servicer's obligation to the
Certificateholders to manage and operate (including the collection of rents from
existing tenants and management of any leases acquired with the REO property to
the extent applicable) the REO Property from the date of acquisition until the
date of sale, neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall knowingly:

                  (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 shall 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 shall constitute Rents from Real
         Property;

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

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

unless, in any such case, the Master Servicer has obtained an Opinion of
Counsel, provided to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, to the effect that such
action shall not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure
property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any time that
it is held by the Trust Fund, and (B) the Master Servicer has received written
notice from the Trustee that it has received written consent from the NIMS
Insurer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) that the specific
action may be taken.

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

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

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

                  (iii) none of the provisions of this Section 3.13(c) relating
         to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent
         Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Master Servicer of any of its
         duties and obligations to the Trustee on behalf of the
         Certificateholders with respect to the operation and management of any
         such REO Property; and

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

                  The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any
agreement with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to
its duties and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Master Servicer
by such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to
limit or modify such indemnification. The Master Servicer shall be solely liable
for all fees owed by it to any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of
whether the Master Servicer's compensation pursuant to Section 3.18 is
sufficient to pay such fees. The Master Servicer shall not engage an Independent
Contractor to engage in any activities that the Master Servicer would not be
permitted to engage in itself in accordance with the other provisions of this
Agreement (including the Loss Mitigation Action Plan).

                  (d) In addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section
3.13(c), the Master Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the REO
Account for any REO Property: (i) to pay itself or any Sub-Servicer unpaid
Servicing Fees in respect of the related Mortgage Loan; and (ii) to reimburse
itself or any Sub-Servicer for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances made
in respect of such REO Property or the related Mortgage Loan. On the Master
Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from each REO
Account maintained by it and deposit into the Distribution Account in accordance
with Section 3.04(g)(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
3.13(c) or this Section 3.13(d).

                  (e) Subject to the time constraints set forth in Section
3.13(a) (including the constraint that the Master Servicer hold and manage each
REO Property "solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition") each REO
disposition shall be carried out by the Master Servicer at such price and upon
such terms and conditions as shall be in conformity with the requirements of the
Loss Mitigation Action Plan and as shall be normal and usual in its general
servicing activities for similar properties.

                  (f) The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any amount
required by law to be remitted to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan
and net of any payment or reimbursement to the Master Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer as provided above, shall be deposited in the Distribution Account
in accordance with Section 3.04(g)(ii) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date in
the month following the receipt thereof for distribution on the related
Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01. Any REO Disposition shall be
for cash only (unless changes in the REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the
Startup Day allow a sale for other consideration).

                  SECTION 3.14. [Reserved].

                  SECTION 3.15. Reports of Foreclosure and Abandonment of
                                Mortgaged Properties.

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

                  SECTION 3.16. Optional Purchase of Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

                           (a) (i) The NIMS Insurer may, at its option, purchase
         a Mortgage Loan which has become 90 or more days delinquent or for
         which the Master Servicer has accepted a deed in lieu of foreclosure.
         Prior to purchase pursuant to this Section 3.16(a)(i), the Master
         Servicer shall be required to continue to make Advances pursuant to
         Section 4.03. The NIMS Insurer shall not use any procedure in selecting
         Mortgage Loans to be repurchased which is materially adverse to the
         interests of the Certificateholders. The NIMS Insurer 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(a)(i) shall be accomplished by remittance to the
         Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account of the amount of
         the Purchase Price. The Trustee shall effectuate the conveyance of such
         delinquent Mortgage Loan to the NIMS Insurer to the extent necessary,
         as requested, and the Trustee shall promptly deliver all documentation
         to the NIMS Insurer.

                  (i) During the first full calendar month (but excluding the
         last Business Day thereof) following a Mortgage Loan or related REO
         Property becoming 90 days or more delinquent, the Master Servicer shall
         have the option, but not the obligation to purchase from the Trust Fund
         any such Mortgage Loan or related REO Property that is then still 90
         days or more delinquent, which the Master Servicer determines in good
         faith shall otherwise become subject to foreclosure proceedings
         (evidence of such determination to be delivered in writing to the
         Trustee prior to purchase), at a price equal to the Purchase Price. The
         Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan or related REO Property purchased
         hereunder shall be deposited in the Collection Account, and the
         Trustee, upon written certification of such deposit, shall release or
         cause to be released to the Master 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 Master Servicer
         shall furnish and as shall be necessary to vest in the Master Servicer
         title to any Mortgage Loan or related REO Property released pursuant
         hereto.

                  (b) If with respect to any delinquent Mortgage Loan or related
REO Property, the option of the Master Servicer set forth in the preceding
paragraph shall have arisen but the Master Servicer shall have failed to
exercise such option on or before the Business Day preceding the last Business
Day of the calendar month following the calendar month during which such
Mortgage Loan or related REO Property first became 90 days or more delinquent,
then such option shall automatically expire; provided, however, that if any such
Mortgage Loan or related REO Property shall cease to be 90 days or more
delinquent but then subsequently shall again become 90 days or more delinquent,
then the Master Servicer shall be entitled to another repurchase option with
respect to such Mortgage Loan or REO Property as provided in the preceding
paragraph.

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

                  (a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the
receipt by the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be
escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer shall
promptly notify the Trustee and any related Custodian by a certification in the
form of Exhibit E or such other form supplied by the Master Servicer provided
that it does not differ from the substantive content 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 3.04(b) have been or
shall 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 or such Custodian, as the case may be, shall promptly release (and in no
event more than three (3) Business Days thereafter) the related Mortgage File to
the Master 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 and any related
Custodian shall, upon request of the Master Servicer and delivery to the Trustee
or such Custodian, as the case may be, of a Request for Release in the form of
Exhibit E or such other form supplied by the Master Servicer provided that it
does not differ from the substantive content of Exhibit E, release the related
Mortgage File to the Master Servicer, and the Trustee shall, at the direction of
the Master Servicer, execute such documents as shall be necessary to the
prosecution of any such proceedings and the Master Servicer shall retain such
Mortgage File in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Such Request
for Release shall obligate the Master Servicer to return each and every document
previously requested from the Mortgage File to the Trustee or to such Custodian
when the need therefor by the Master Servicer no longer exists, unless the
Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the
Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Collection Account or the Mortgage File
or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or
other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing
legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property
either judicially or non-judicially, and the Master Servicer has delivered to
the Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and
address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered
and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a
Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all
amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation that are
required to be deposited into the Collection Account have been so deposited, or
that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, upon request, a copy of the
Request for Release shall be released by the Trustee or such Custodian to the
Master Servicer.

                  (c) Upon written certification of a Servicing Officer, the
Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Master Servicer any court pleadings,
requests for trustee's sale or other documents reasonably necessary to the
foreclosure or trustee's sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal
action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or
Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or
rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law
or in equity. Each such certification shall include a request that such
pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the
reason such documents or pleadings are required and that the execution and
delivery thereof by the Trustee shall 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.

                  (d) The Trustee and the Master Servicer may mutually agree on
policies and procedures (commercially reasonable in nature) to allow the
submission of any and all requests for the release of a Mortgage File
electronically with a digital signature or other identifier to designate the
Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer requesting such collateral.

                  SECTION 3.18. Servicing Compensation.

                  As compensation for the activities of the Master Servicer
hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee with
respect to each Mortgage Loan payable solely from payments of interest in
respect of such Mortgage Loan, subject to Section 4.03(e). In addition, the
Master Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees out of
Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries or Liquidation Proceeds to the extent
permitted by Section 3.05(a)(ii), out of general funds in the Collection Account
to the extent permitted by Section 3.05(a) and out of amounts derived from the
operation and sale of an REO Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.13.
The right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in
part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Master Servicer's
responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.

                  Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption
fees, late payment charges, insufficient funds fees, reconveyance fees and other
similar fees and charges (other than Prepayment Charges) shall be retained by
the Master Servicer only to the extent such amounts, fees or charges are
received by the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall also be entitled
pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(vi) to withdraw from the Collection Account,
pursuant to Section 3.04(h) to withdraw from any Escrow Account and pursuant to
Section 3.13(b) to withdraw from any REO Account, as additional servicing
compensation, interest or other income earned on deposits therein, subject to
Section 3.06. The Master 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 3.08, Section 3.09 and Section 3.10, 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 in Section 8.05, the fees and expenses of the Trustee) and shall not be
entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided herein.

                  SECTION 3.19. Statement as to Compliance.

                  The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the NIMS
Insurer, the Depositor and each Rating Agency on or before March 15th of each
calendar year commencing in 2006, an Officers' Certificate in a form similar to
Exhibit M attached hereto agreeable to the parties hereto, stating, as to each
signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Master Servicer
during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this Agreement has
been made under such officers' supervision and (ii) to the best of such
officers' knowledge, based on such review, the Master Servicer has fulfilled all
of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such 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 the request and at the expense of the requesting party,
provided that such statement is delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trustee.

                  SECTION 3.20. Independent Public Accountants' Servicing
                                Report.

                  Not later than March 15th of each calendar year commencing in
2006, the Master Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a nationally recognized
firm of independent certified public accountants to furnish to the Master
Servicer a report stating that (i) it has obtained a letter of representation
regarding certain matters from the management of the Master Servicer which
includes an assertion that the Master 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 Master Servicer shall furnish a copy of such report to the Trustee, the NIMS
Insurer and each Rating Agency. Copies of such statement shall be provided by
the Trustee to any Certificateholder upon request at the Master Servicer's
expense, provided that such statement is delivered by the Master Servicer to the
Trustee. In the event such firm of independent certified public accountants
requires the Trustee to agree to the procedures performed by such firm, the
Master Servicer shall direct the Trustee in writing to so agree; it being
understood and agreed that the Trustee shall deliver such letter of agreement in
conclusive reliance upon the direction of the Master Servicer, and the Trustee
has not made any independent inquiry or investigation as to, and shall have no
obligation or liability in respect of, the sufficiency, validity or correctness
of such procedures.

                  SECTION 3.21. Access to Certain Documentation.

                  The Master 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 regarding the Mortgage Loans
required by applicable laws and regulations. Such access shall be afforded
without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business
hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it. In addition,
access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans shall be provided to
any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and to
any Person identified to the Master Servicer as a prospective transferee of a
Certificate, upon reasonable request during normal business hours at the offices
of the Master Servicer designated by it at the expense of the Person requesting
such access. In each case, access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage
Loans may be conditioned upon the requesting party's acknowledgment in writing
of a confidentiality agreement regarding any information that is required to
remain confidential under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999.

                  SECTION 3.22. PMI Policies; Claims Under the PMI Policies.

                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this
Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not agree to any modification or assumption
of a PMI Mortgage Loan or take any other action with respect to a PMI Mortgage
Loan that could result in denial of coverage under the PMI Policy. The Master
Servicer shall notify the PMI Insurer that the Trustee, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, is the Insured, as that term is defined in the PMI Policy,
of each PMI Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall, on behalf of the Trustee,
prepare and file on a timely basis with the PMI Insurer, with a copy to the
Trustee, all claims which may be made under the PMI Policy with respect to the
PMI Mortgage Loans. Consistent with all rights and obligations hereunder, the
Master Servicer shall take all actions required under the PMI Policy as a
condition to the payment of any such claim. Any amount received from the PMI
Insurer with respect to any such PMI Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by the
Master Servicer into the Collection Account in accordance with Section 3.04(b).
The Trustee shall withdraw from the Distribution Account on each Distribution
Date and pay to the PMI Insurer the PMI Insurer Fee in accordance with the terms
of the PMI Policy.

                  SECTION 3.23. Advance Facility.

                  (a) The Master Servicer and/or the Trustee on behalf of the
Trust Fund, in either case, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer and the Master
Servicer in the case of the Trustee, is hereby authorized to enter into a
facility (an "Advance Facility") with any Person (an "Advancing Person") (1)
under which the Master Servicer sells, assigns or pledges to the Advancing
person the Master Servicer's rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for
any Advances and/or Servicing Advances or (2) which provides that the Advancing
Person may fund Advances and/or Servicing Advances to the Trust Fund under this
Agreement, although no such facility shall reduce or otherwise affect the Master
Servicer's obligation to fund such Advances and/or Servicing Advances. If the
Master Servicer enters into such an Advance Facility pursuant to this Section
3.23, 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. To the extent that an Advancing Person funds any Advance
or any Servicing Advance or is assigned the right to be reimbursed for any
Advance or Servicing Advance and provides the Trustee with notice acknowledged
by the Master Servicer that such Advancing Person is entitled to reimbursement
directly from the Trustee pursuant to the terms of the Advance Facility, such
Advancing Person shall be entitled to receive reimbursement pursuant to this
Agreement for such amount to the extent provided in Section 3.23(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
Master Servicer, and include the Master 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
3.23. An Advancing Person whose obligations hereunder are limited to the funding
of Advances and/or Servicing Advances shall not be required to meet the
qualifications of a Master Servicer or a Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 6.06
hereof and shall not be deemed to be a Sub-Servicer under this Agreement. If the
terms of a facility proposed to be entered into with an Advancing Person by the
Trust Fund would not materially and adversely affect the interests of any
Certificateholder, then the NIMS Insurer shall not withhold its consent to the
Trust Fund's entering such facility.

                  (b) If, pursuant to the terms of the Advance Facility, an
Advancing Person is entitled to reimbursement directly from the Trustee, then
the Master Servicer shall not reimburse itself therefor under Section
3.05(a)(ii), Section 3.05(a)(iii) or Section 3.05(a)(v) prior to the remittance
to the Trust Fund, but instead the Master Servicer shall include such amounts in
the applicable remittance to the Trustee made pursuant to Section 3.04(g) to the
extent of amounts on deposit in the Collection Account on the related Master
Servicer Remittance Date. The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay to the
Advancing Person reimbursements for Advances and Servicing Advances from the
Distribution Account, to the extent permitted under the terms of the Advance
Facility, to the same extent the Master Servicer would have been permitted to
reimburse itself for such Advances and/or Servicing Advances in accordance with
Section 3.05(a)(ii), Section 3.05(a)(iii) or Section 3.05(a)(v), as the case may
be, had the Master Servicer itself funded such Advance or Servicing Advance. The
Trustee is hereby authorized to pay directly to the Advancing Person such
portion of the Servicing Fee as the parties to any Advance Facility agree to in
writing delivered to the Trustee. An Advance Facility may provide that the
Master Servicer will otherwise cause the remittance of Advance and/or Servicing
Advance reimbursement amounts to the Advancing Person, in which case the
foregoing sentences in this Section 3.23(b) shall not apply.

                  (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) In the event the Master Servicer is terminated pursuant to
Section 7.01, the Advancing Person shall succeed to the terminated Master
Servicer's right of reimbursement set forth in Section 7.02(c) to the extent of
such Advancing Person's financing of or receipt of assignment or pledge of the
right to be reimbursed for Advances or Servicing Advances hereunder then
remaining unreimbursed.

                  (e) None of the Trust Fund, any party to this Agreement or any
other Person shall have any right or claim (including without limitation any
right of offset or recoupment) to any amounts allocable under this Agreement to
the reimbursement of Advances or Servicing Advances that have been assigned,
conveyed or pledged to an Advancing Person, or that relate to Advances or
Servicing Advances that were funded by an Advancing Person.

                  (f) Any amendment to this Section 3.23 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 3.23,
including amendments to add provisions relating to a successor master servicer,
may be entered into by the Trustee and the Master Servicer without the consent
of any Certificateholder but with the consent of the NIMS Insurer and written
confirmation from each Rating Agency that the amendment shall not result in the
reduction or withdrawal of the then-current ratings of any outstanding Class of
Certificates or any other notes secured by collateral which includes all or a
portion of the Class CE Certificates, the Class P Certificates and/or the
Residual Certificates, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                         PAYMENTS TO CERTIFICATEHOLDERS

                  SECTION 4.01. Distributions.

                  (a) On each Distribution Date, the following amounts, in the
following order of priority, shall be distributed by REMIC I to REMIC II on
account of the REMIC I Regular Interests and distributed to the holders of the
Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class R-I Interest), as the case may be:

                  With respect to the Group I Mortgage Loans:

                  (i) to Holders of each REMIC I Regular Interest I-1-A through
         I-52-B, PRO RATA, in an amount equal to (A) Uncertificated Interest for
         such REMIC I Regular Interests for such Distribution Date, plus (B) any
         amounts payable in respect thereof remaining unpaid from previous
         Distribution Dates.

                  (ii) to the extent of amounts remaining after the
         distributions made pursuant to clause (i) above, payments of principal
         shall be allocated as follows: to REMIC I Regular interests I-1-A
         through I-52-B starting with the lowest numerical denomination until
         the Uncertificated Balance of each such REMIC I Regular Interest is
         reduced to zero, provided that, for REMIC I Regular Interests with the
         same numerical denomination, such payments of principal shall be
         allocated PRO RATA between such REMIC I Regular Interests.

                  With respect to the Group II Mortgage Loans:

                  (i) to Holders of each REMIC I Regular Interest II-1-A through
         II-52-B, PRO RATA, in an amount equal to (A) Uncertificated Interest
         for such REMIC I Regular Interests for such Distribution Date, plus (B)
         any amounts payable in respect thereof remaining unpaid from previous
         Distribution Dates.

                  (ii) to the extent of amounts remaining after the

         Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and

                  (vi) to the Holders of the Class R Certificates, any remaining

         Date immediately following the expiration of the latest Prepayment

         Distribution Date thereafter, then any such remaining amounts shall 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.

                  (5) With respect to the Classes of Group I Certificates, all
principal distributions shall be distributed concurrently, to the Class A-1A
Certificates and the Class A-1B Certificates, on a PRO RATA basis based on the
Certificate Principal Balance of each such Class, with the exception that if a
Sequential Trigger Event is in effect, principal distributions shall be
allocated sequentially, to the Class A-1A and Class A-1B Certificates, in that
order, until their respective Certificate Principal Balances have been reduced
to zero.

                  With respect to the Classes of Group II Certificates, all
principal distributions shall be distributed concurrently, to the Class A-2A
Certificates and the Class A-2B Certificates, on a PRO RATA basis based on the
Certificate Principal Balance of each such Class, with the exception that if a
Sequential Trigger Event is in effect, principal distributions shall be
allocated sequentially, to the Class A-2A and Class A-2B Certificates, in that
order, until their respective Certificate Principal Balances have been reduced
to zero.

                  With respect to the Classes of Group II Certificates, all

                  On each Distribution Date, following the foregoing
distributions, an amount equal to the amount of Subsequent Recoveries deposited
into the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 and included in the
Available Funds for such Distribution Date 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, and so on. Holders of such Certificates
shall 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.

                  (b) On each Distribution Date, after making the distributions
of the Available Funds as set forth above, the Trustee shall FIRST, withdraw
from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account all net income from the
investment of funds in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account and distribute
such amount to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates, and SECOND, 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 as follows:

                  FIRST, concurrently, to each Class of Class A Certificates,
the related Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount, on a PRO RATA basis based on such
respective Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts; and

                  SECOND, sequentially, to the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3,
Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class M-7, Class M-8, Class M-9 and Class M-10
Certificates, in that order, the related Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount.

Charges collected by the Master Servicer, Prepayment Charges payable by the
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(ii)(A) and Master Servicer
Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts payable by the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 2.03(b)(ii)(B), subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), in each case to the
extent not related to Principal Prepayments occurring after the related
Prepayment Period, and the Trustee 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.

                  (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
Certificate Registrar, the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall have any
responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by this Agreement or
applicable law.

                  (d) The rights of the Certificateholders to receive
distributions in respect of the Certificates, and all interests of the
Certificateholders in such distributions, shall be as set forth in this
Agreement. Neither the Holders of any Class of Certificates nor the Trustee nor
the Master Servicer shall in any way be responsible or liable to the Holders of
any other Class of Certificates in respect of amounts properly previously
distributed on the Certificates.

                  (e) On each Distribution Date, after making the distributions
of the Available Funds, Net Monthly Excess Cashflow and amounts on deposit in
the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account as set forth above, the Trustee shall

                  FIRST, to the Swap Provider, any Net Swap Payment owed to the
Swap Provider pursuant to the Interest Rate Swap Agreement for such Distribution
Date;

                  SECOND, to the Swap Provider, any Swap Termination Payment
owed to the Swap Provider not due to a Swap Provider Trigger Event pursuant to
the Interest Rate Swap Agreement;

                  THIRD, concurrently, to each Class of Class A Certificates,

PRO RATa basis based on such respective remaining Senior Interest Distribution
Amount;

                  FOURTH, 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, Class M-9 and Class M-10

Remittance Amount, the Group III Interest Remittance Amount and the Net Monthly
Excess Cashflow;

                  FIFTH, concurrently, to each Class of Class A Certificates,

from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, on a PRO RATA basis based on
such respective remaining Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts;

                  SIXTH, 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, Class M-9 and Class M-10
Certificates, in that order, the related Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount remaining

                  SEVENTH, to the Holders of the Class or Classes of
Certificates then entitled to receive distributions in respect of principal, in
an amount necessary to maintain the applicable Overcollateralization Target
Amount equal to the difference between (x) the Overcollateralization Increase
Amount (for the purpose of this section only, without giving effect to clause
(B) of the definition of "Overcollateralization Increase Amount") and (y) the
amount distributed pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(4)(i) of this Agreement;

                  EIGHTH, 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, Class M-9 and Class M-10
Certificates, in that order, in each case up to the related Allocated Realized
Loss Amount related to such Certificates for such Distribution Date remaining
undistributed after distribution of the Net Monthly Excess Cashflow; and

                  NINTH, to the Swap Provider, any Swap Termination Payment due
to a Swap Provider Trigger Event, owed to the Swap Provider pursuant to the
Interest Rate Swap Agreement.

                  (f) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the
Trustee expects that the final distribution with respect to any Class of
Certificates shall be made on the next Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, no
later than five (5) days after the related Determination Date, 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 shall be made on such
         Distribution Date, but only upon presentation and surrender of such
         Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein specified or its
         agent; 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 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 remaining in such trust fund. If within one year after
the final notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trustee shall pay to the Representative all remaining 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).

                  (g) 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 both (a) allocated to such Certificate in respect of Realized Losses
pursuant to Section 4.04 and (b) distributed to the Holder of such Certificate
in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance thereof pursuant to this
Section 4.01 from Net Monthly Excess Cashflow 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.

                  (h) It is the intention of all of the parties hereto that the
Class CE Certificates receive all principal and interest received by the Trust
on the Mortgage Loans that is not otherwise distributable to any other Class of
Regular Certificates or REMIC Regular Interests. If the Trustee determines that
the Residual Certificates are entitled to any distributions, the Trustee, prior
to any such distribution to any Residual Certificate, shall notify the Depositor
of such impending distribution. Upon such notification, the Depositor will
request an amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to revise such
mistake in the distribution provisions. The Residual Certificate Holders, by
their acceptance of their Certificates, and the Master Servicer hereby agree and
no further consent shall be necessary (other than the consent of the NIMS
Insurer), notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.01 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

         Distribution Date, the amount remaining unpaid after reimbursements
         therefor on such Distribution Date; and

                  (xxvii) the amount of any Net Swap Payments or Swap
         Termination Payments;

                  (xxviii) (A) the amount of payments received from the Master
         Servicer related to claims under each PMI Policy during the related
         Prepayment Period (and the number of Mortgage Loans to which such
         payments related) and (B) the cumulative amount of payments received
         related to claims under each PMI Policy since the Closing Date (and the
         number of Mortgage Loans to which such payments related); and

         made under each PMI Policy that were denied since the Closing Date (and

additional files containing the same information in an alternative format)
available each month to the Certificateholders, the NIMS Insurer, the Master
Servicer and the Rating Agencies via the Trustee's internet website. The
Trustee's internet website shall initially be located at
https://www.tss.db.com/invr. Assistance in using the website can be obtained by
calling the Trustee's investor relations desk at (800) 735-7777. Parties that
are unable to use the above distribution options are entitled to have a paper
copy mailed to them via first class mail by calling the investor relations desk
and indicating such. The Trustee shall have the right to change the way such
statements are distributed in order to make such distribution more convenient
and/or more accessible to the above parties and the Trustee shall provide timely
and adequate notification to all above parties regarding any such changes.

                  In the case of information furnished pursuant to subclauses
(i) through (iii) above, the amounts shall be expressed as a dollar amount per
Single Certificate of the relevant Class.

                  Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each
calendar year, the Trustee shall furnish to the NIMS Insurer and each Person who
at any time during the calendar year was a Holder of a Regular Certificate a
statement containing the information set forth in subclauses (i) through (iii)
above, aggregated for such calendar year or applicable portion thereof during
which such person was a Certificateholder. Such obligation of the Trustee shall
be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable
information shall be provided by the Trustee pursuant to any requirements of the
Code as from time to time are in force.

                  Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each
calendar year, the Trustee shall furnish to the NIMS Insurer and each Person who
at any time during the calendar year was a Holder of a Residual Certificate a
statement setting forth the amount, if any, actually distributed with respect to
the Residual Certificates, as appropriate, aggregated for such calendar year or
applicable portion thereof during which such Person was a Certificateholder.
Such obligation of the Trustee shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the
extent that substantially comparable information shall be prepared by the
Trustee and furnished to such Holders pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Code as are in force from time to time.

                  The Trustee shall, upon request, furnish to each
Certificateholder or Certificate Owner and the NIMS Insurer, during the term of
this Agreement, such periodic, special, or other reports or information, whether
or not provided for herein, as shall be reasonable with respect to the
Certificateholder or Certificate Owner, or otherwise with respect to the
purposes of this Agreement, all such reports or information to be provided at
the expense of the Certificateholder or Certificate Owner in accordance with
such reasonable and explicit instructions and directions as the
Certificateholder or Certificate Owner may provide. For purposes of this Section
4.02, the Trustee's duties are limited to the extent that the Trustee receives
timely reports as required from the Master Servicer.

                  On each Distribution Date the Trustee shall provide Bloomberg
Financial Markets, L.P. ("Bloomberg") CUSIP level factors for each Class of

                  SECTION 4.03. Remittance Reports and Other Reports to the
                                Trustee; Advances; Payments in Respect of
                                Prepayment Interest Shortfalls.

                  (a) On the Master Servicer Reporting Date, the Master Servicer
shall deliver to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer by telecopy (or by such other
means as the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer may agree from
time to time) a Remittance Report with respect to the related Distribution Date.
Such Remittance Report shall include (i) the amount of Advances to be made by
the Master 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 Master Servicer.

                  Not later than fifteen days after each Distribution Date, the
Master Servicer shall forward to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor
a statement prepared by the Master Servicer setting forth the status of the
Collection Account as of the close of business on such Distribution Date and
showing, for the period covered by such statement, the aggregate amount of
deposits into and withdrawals from the Collection Account of each category of
deposit specified in Section 3.04(b) and each category of withdrawal specified
in Section 3.05. Such statement may be in the form of the then current Fannie
Mae Monthly Accounting Report for its Guaranteed Mortgage Pass-Through Program
with appropriate additions and changes, and shall also include information as to
the aggregate of the outstanding Stated Principal Balances of all of the
Mortgage Loans as of the last day of the calendar month immediately preceding
such Distribution Date. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the
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 Master Servicer to
the Trustee.

                  (b) The amount of Advances to be made by the Master Servicer
for any Distribution Date shall equal, subject to Section 4.03(d), the sum of
(i) the aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (with each interest portion thereof
net of the related Servicing Fee), due on the related Due Date in respect of the
Mortgage Loans, which Monthly Payments were delinquent as of the close of
business on the related Determination Date and (ii) with respect to each REO
Property, which REO Property was acquired during or prior to the related
Prepayment Period and as to which such REO Property an REO Disposition did not
occur during the related Prepayment Period, an amount equal to the excess, if
any, of the Monthly Payments (with each interest portion thereof net of the
related Servicing Fee) that would have been due on the related Due Date in
respect of the related Mortgage Loans, over the net income from such REO
Property transferred to the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.13 for
distribution on such Distribution Date.

                  On or before 3:00 p.m. New York time on the Master Servicer
Remittance Date, the Master 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 shall 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
Master 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 Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.
Any amounts held for future distribution used by the Master Servicer to make an
Advance as permitted in the preceding sentence or withdrawn by the Master
Servicer as permitted in Section 3.05(a)(vii) in reimbursement of Advances
previously made shall be appropriately reflected in the Master Servicer's
records and replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account
on or before any future Master Servicer Remittance Date to the extent that the
Available Funds for the related Distribution Date (determined without regard to
Advances to be made on the Master Servicer Remittance Date) shall be less than
the total amount that would be distributed to the Classes of Certificateholders
pursuant to Section 4.01 on such Distribution Date if such amounts held for
future distributions had not been so used to make Advances. The Trustee shall
provide notice to the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer by telecopy by the
close of business on any Master Servicer Remittance Date in the event that the
amount remitted by the Master Servicer to the Trustee on such date is less than
the Advances required to be made by the Master Servicer for the related
Distribution Date.

                  (c) The obligation of the Master 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 REMIC I 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
Master Servicer if such Advance or Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute
a Nonrecoverable Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The determination
by the Master 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 Master Servicer delivered to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer.

                  (e) The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for
deposit into the Distribution Account on or before 3:00 p.m. New York time on
the Master Servicer Remittance Date from its own funds an amount ("Compensating
Interest") equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate of the Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls for the related Distribution Date resulting solely from Principal
Prepayments during the related Prepayment Period and (ii) the amount of its
aggregate Servicing Fee for the most recently ended calendar month. The Master
Servicer shall not have the right to reimbursement for any amounts remitted to
the Trustee in respect of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls. Such amounts so
remitted shall be included in the Available Funds and distributed therewith on
the next Distribution Date. The Master Servicer shall not be obligated to pay
any amounts with respect to Relief Act Interest Shortfalls.

                  SECTION 4.04. Allocation of Realized Losses.

                  (a) On or before each Determination Date, the Master 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. On or before each Determination Date, the Master
Servicer shall also determine as to each Mortgage Loan: (A) the total amount of
Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any Deficient Valuations
made during the related Prepayment Period; and (B) 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 Master Servicer
shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee by the
Master Servicer on the Master Servicer Reporting Date immediately following the
end of (x) in the case of Bankruptcy Losses allocable to interest, the Due
Period during which any such Realized Loss was incurred, and (y) 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, in
reduction of interest accrued on and otherwise distributable to the Class CE
Certificates to the extent of Net Monthly Excess Cashflow used to pay principal
on the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates under clause (i) of
Section 4.01 hereof; SECOND, in reduction of interest accrued on and otherwise
distributable to the Class CE Certificates to the extent of Net Monthly Excess
Cashflow available for distribution pursuant to clauses (ii) through (vi) of
Section 4.01(a)(4) hereof; and THIRD, in reduction of the Certificate Principal
Balance of the Class CE Certificates (determined after taking into account all
distributions made on the Certificates on such Distribution Date), until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero. If on any
Distribution Date, after all distributions are made by the Trustee pursuant to
Section 4.01 hereof, the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A
Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class P Certificates exceeds
the sum of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the last day
of the related Due Period (after taking into account prepayments during the
related Prepayment Period), the amount of such excess shall be allocated: FIRST,
to the Class M-10 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof
has been reduced to zero; seconD, to the Class M-9 Certificates, until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; THIRD, to the
Class M-8 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been
reduced to zero; FOURTH, to the Class M-7 Certificates, until the Certificate
Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; FIFTH, to the Class M-6
Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced
to zero; SIXTH, to the Class M-5 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; SEVENTH, to the Class M-4
Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced
to zero; EIGHTH, to the Class M-3 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, NINTH, to the Class M-2 Certificates,
until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero and
TENTH, 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.

                  Any such allocation to a Class of Mezzanine Certificates on
any Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof (after the actual distributions to be made on such Distribution
Date pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof) by the amount so allocated; any allocation
of Realized Losses to a Class CE Certificate 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 shall be allocated among the Certificates of such
Class in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby.

                  All Realized Losses on the Group I Loans shall be allocated on
each Distribution Date to REMIC I Regular Interest I-1-A through REMIC I Regular
Interest I-52-B, starting with the lowest numerical denomination until such
REMIC I Regular Interest has been reduced to zero, provided that, for REMIC I
Regular Interests with the same numerical denomination, such Realized Losses
shall be allocated PRO RATA between such REMIC I Regular Interests. All Realized
Losses on the Group II Loans shall be allocated on each Distribution Date to
REMIC I Regular Interest II-1-A through REMIC I Regular Interest II-52-B,
starting with the lowest numerical denomination until such REMIC I Regular
Interest has been reduced to zero, provided that, for REMIC I Regular Interests
with the same numerical denomination, such Realized Losses shall be allocated
PRO RATA between such REMIC I Regular Interests. All Realized Losses on the
Group III Loans shall be allocated on each Distribution Date to REMIC I Regular
Interest III-1-A through REMIC I Regular Interest III-52-B, starting with the
lowest numerical denomination until such REMIC I Regular Interest has been
reduced to zero, provided that, for REMIC I Regular Interests with the same
numerical denomination, such Realized Losses shall be allocated PRO RATA between
such REMIC I Regular Interests.

                  (c) (i) The REMIC II Marker Allocation Percentage of all
Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Trustee on each
Distribution Date to the following REMIC II Regular Interests in the specified
percentages, as follows: first, to Uncertificated Interest payable to the REMIC
II Regular Interest II-LTAA and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ up to an
aggregate amount equal to the REMIC II Interest Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and
2%, respectively; second, to the Uncertificated Balances of the REMIC II Regular
Interest II-LTAA and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ up to an aggregate amount
equal to the REMIC II Principal Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%,
respectively; third, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest
II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM10 and REMIC II Regular Interest
II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC
II Regular Interest II-LTM10 has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the
Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular
Interest II-LTM9 and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest
II-LTM9 has been reduced to zero; fifth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC
II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM8 and REMIC II
Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated
Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM8 has been reduced to zero; sixth, to
the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II
Regular Interest II-LTM7 and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest
II-LTM7 has been reduced to zero; seventh, to the Uncertificated Balances of
REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM6 and REMIC
II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the
Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM6 has been reduced to
zero; eighth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest
II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM5 and REMIC II Regular Interest
II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC
II Regular Interest II-LTM5 has been reduced to zero; ninth, to the
Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular
Interest II-LTM4 and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest
II-LTM4 has been reduced to zero; tenth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC
II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM3 and REMIC II
Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated
Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM3 has been reduced to zero; eleventh,
to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II
Regular Interest II-LTM2 and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest
II-LTM2 has been reduced to zero, and twelfth, to the Uncertificated Balances of
REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM1 and REMIC
II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the
Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM1 has been reduced to
zero.

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

                  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. Commission Reporting.

                  (a) The Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor
in connection with the Trust's 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 any Forms 8-K and 10-K customary for
similar securities as required by the Exchange Act and the Rules and Regulations
of the Commission thereunder, and the Depositor shall sign (or shall cause
another entity acceptable to the Commission to sign) and the Trustee shall file
(via the 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 any Form 8-K and file each
such document 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.
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 Commission), the Trustee shall file a
Form 10-K, in substance as required by applicable law or applicable Commission
staff's interpretations. Such Form 10-K shall include as exhibits the Master
Servicer's annual statement of compliance described under Section 3.19 and the
accountant's report described under Section 3.20, 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 J-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 J-2) for the benefit of the Depositor and
its officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain aspects of items 1
through 3 of the 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). The Trustee'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) 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, the Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any
losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal
fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or
based upon a breach of the Trustee's obligations under this Section 4.06 or the
Trustee's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.
The Depositor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and its officers,
directors and Affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments
and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the
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 or the Trustee, as applicable, then the other party, in connection
with a breach of its respective obligations under this Section 4.06 or its
respective negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith,
agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the other 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 of the Depositor
on the one hand and the Trustee on the other.

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

                  (e) Prior to January 30th 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.

                  (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 hereby agrees that it shall reasonably cooperate
to amend the provisions of this Section 4.06 (in accordance with Section 11.01)
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.

                  SECTION 4.07. [Reserved].

                  SECTION 4.08. [Reserved].

                  SECTION 4.09. [Reserved].

                  SECTION 4.10. Swap 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, "Swap Account, Deutsche Bank National Trust
Company, as Trustee, in trust for the Swap Provider and the registered holders
of Ameriquest Mortgage Securities Inc., Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates,
Series 2005-R3." Such account shall be an Eligible Account and amounts therein
shall be held uninvested.

                  (b) On each Distribution Date, prior to any distribution to
any Certificate, the Trustee shall deposit into the Swap Account pursuant to
3.05(c)(i): (i) the amount of any Net Swap Payment or Swap Termination Payment
owed to the Swap Provider (after taking into account any upfront payment
received from the counterparty to a replacement swap agreement) from funds
collected and received with respect to the Mortgage Loans prior to the
determination of Available Funds and (ii) amounts received by the Trustee from
the Swap Administrator, for distribution in accordance with subsection (d)
below, pursuant to the Swap Administration Agreement, dated as of the Closing
Date (the "Swap Administration Agreement"), among Deutsche Bank National Trust
Company in its capacity as Trustee, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company in its
capacity as Swap Administrator and Ameriquest Mortgage Company. For federal
income tax purposes, any amounts paid to the Swap Provider on each Distribution
Date shall first be deemed paid to the Swap Provider in respect of the Class
SWAP-IO Interest to the extent of the amount distributable on such Class SWAP-IO
Interest on such Distribution Date, and any remaining amount shall be deemed
paid to the Swap Provider in respect of a Class IO Distribution Amount (as
defined below).

                  (c) For federal income tax purposes, the Swap Account shall be
owned by the majority Holder of the Class CE Certificates.

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

                  SECTION 4.11. 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 Ameriquest Mortgage Securities Inc., Asset-Backed Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2005-R3." The Trustee shall deposit into the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account any payments received by it pursuant to Section
4.01(a)(4)(iv).

                  (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 shall, deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account
the amount of such Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount 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 shall 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 shall 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 shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC III
to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates. Upon the termination of the Trust,
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 shall be released by the Trust and distributed to the Class CE
Certificateholders or their designees. The Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account shall be part of the Trust 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 shall 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) At the written direction of the Holders of a majority in
Percentage Interest in the Class CE Certificates, the Trustee shall direct any
depository institution maintaining the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account to
invest the funds in such 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 or an Affiliate manages or advises such
investment, 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 or an
Affiliate manages or advises such investment. If no investment direction of the
Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class CE Certificates with
respect to the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account is received by the
Trustee, the Trustee shall invest the funds in the Deutsche Bank Institutional
Cash Management Fund 541 so long as it is a Permitted Investment. Interest
earned on such investment shall be deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account.

                                   ARTICLE V

                                THE CERTIFICATES

                  SECTION 5.01. The Certificates.

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

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

                  Upon original issue, the Certificates shall be executed and
delivered by the Trustee and the Trustee shall cause the Certificates to be
authenticated by the Certificate Registrar to or upon the order of the
Depositor. The Certificates shall be executed and attested 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 Certificate Registrar 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 Master
Servicer, the Trustee (if the Trustee is not the Book-Entry Custodian) and any
other transfer agent (including the Depository or any successor Depository), to
act as Book-Entry Custodian under such conditions as the predecessor Book-Entry
Custodian and the Depository or any successor Depository may prescribe, provided
that the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian shall not be relieved of any of its
duties or responsibilities by reason of any such appointment of other than the
Depository. If the Trustee resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms
hereof, 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 Master 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 Master Servicer Event of
Default, Certificate Owners representing in the aggregate not less than 51% of
the Ownership Interests of the Book-Entry Certificates advise the 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 issue the Definitive
Certificates. Such Definitive Certificates shall be issued in minimum
denominations of $25,000 ($50,000 in the case of the Class M-10 Certificates),
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
Master 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 8.12 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. The Trustee shall initially serve as Certificate Registrar
for the purpose of registering Certificates and transfers and exchanges of
Certificates as herein provided. The Certificate Registrar may appoint, by a
written instrument delivered to the Master Servicer and the Depositor, any other
bank or trust company to act as Certificate Registrar under such conditions as
the predecessor Certificate Registrar may prescribe, provided that the
predecessor Certificate Registrar shall not be relieved of any of its duties or
responsibilities hereunder by reason of such appointment. If the Trustee shall
at any time not be the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee shall have and
maintain the right to inspect the Certificate Register or to obtain a copy
thereof at all reasonable times, and to rely conclusively upon a certificate of
the Certificate Registrar as to the information set forth in the Certificate
Register.

                  (b) No transfer of any Class M-10 Certificate, Class CE
Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate shall be made unless
that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and an effective
registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made
in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In
the event that such a transfer of a Class M-10 Certificate, Class CE
Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual 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, 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 Certificate from the issuer under the
Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture to the Depositor or an
Affiliate of the Depositor), the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar shall
each 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 Depositor, the Trustee,
the Master Servicer, in its capacity as such, or the Trust Fund), 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, the
Certificate Registrar or the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the
Class M-10 Certificates, the Class CE Certificates, the Class P Certificates or
the Residual 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. If a
transfer of an Ownership Interest in the Class M-10 Certificates is to be made
without registration under the 1933 Act (other than in connection with the
initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate of the
Depositor), then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such
transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) a
certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and a
certificate from such Certificateholder's prospective transferee (which in the
case of the Book-Entry Certificates, the Certificateholder and the
Certificateholder's prospective transferee shall be deemed to have represented
such certification), to the effect that, among other things, the transfer is
being made to a qualified institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A under the
Securities Act in accordance with Rule 144A. Any Certificateholder desiring to
effect the transfer of a Class M-10 Certificate, Class CE Certificate, Class P
Certificate or Residual Certificate shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify
the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Master Servicer
against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not
made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no certification or Opinion of
Counsel described in this Section 5.02(b) shall 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 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 (or,
in the case of a Book-Entry Certificate, such transferee shall be deemed to
represent that it is not a Plan or acquiring with Plan Assets), unless the
Trustee is provided with an Opinion of Counsel for the benefit of the Trust
Fund, the Depositor, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer and
on which they may rely, which shall be to the effect that the purchase and
holding of such Certificates is permissible under applicable law, shall not
constitute or result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code and shall not subject the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, 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 Master Servicer, the NIMS
Insurer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund. Neither 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.

                  If any Certificate or any interest therein is acquired or held
in violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraphs, the next preceding
permitted beneficial owner shall be treated as the beneficial owner of that
Certificate retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial
owner. Any purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of any such
Certificate or interest therein was effected in violation of the provisions of
the preceding paragraph shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, 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 Certificate
Registrar or its designee under clause (iii)(A) below to deliver payments to a
Person other than such Person and to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale
under clause (iii)(B) below and to execute all instruments of Transfer and to do
all other things necessary in connection with any such sale. The rights of each
Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly
subject to the following provisions:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                  (iv) The 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
         shall 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 shall not cause any Trust REMIC to cease
         to qualify as a REMIC and shall not cause any Trust REMIC, as the case
         may be, to be subject to an entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of
         any Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee
         or (y) a Person other than the prospective transferee to be subject to
         a REMIC-tax caused by the Transfer of a Residual Certificate to a
         Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.

                  The Trustee shall forward to the NIMS Insurer a copy of the
items delivered to it pursuant to (A) and (B) above.

                  (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 and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in the
name of the designated Transferee or Transferees, one or more new Certificates
of the same Class of a like aggregate Percentage Interest.

                  (f) At the option of the Holder thereof, any Certificate may
be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class with authorized
denominations and a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of such
Certificate to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Trustee maintained
for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange the Trustee, shall execute and cause the Certificate
Registrar to 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 and the Certificate Registrar
duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
In addition, with respect to each Residual Certificate, the Holder thereof may
exchange, in the manner described above, the 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.

                  (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 Certificate Registrar in accordance with
its customary procedures.

                  (i) The Trustee shall cause the Certificate Registrar (unless
the Trustee is acting as Certificate Registrar) to provide notice to the Trustee
of each transfer of a Certificate and to provide the Trustee with an updated
copy of the Certificate Register on the first Business Day in March and August
of each year, commencing in March 2006.

                  (j) Any attempted or purported transfer of any Certificate in
violation of the provisions of Section 5.02(c) hereof shall be void AB INITIO
and such Certificate shall be considered to have been held continuously by the
prior permitted Holder.

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

                  If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee
or the Certificate Registrar, or the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar
receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and
the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by them
to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of actual knowledge by the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by
a bona fide purchaser or the Trustee shall execute 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 Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any
replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute
complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the applicable REMIC created
hereunder, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed
Certificate shall be found at any time.

                  SECTION 5.04. Persons Deemed Owners.

                  The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS
Insurer, the Certificate Registrar 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 Master
Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the NIMS Insurer 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 Class M-10
Certificate, Class CE Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual 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 the Class M-10
Certificates, the Class CE Certificates, the Class P Certificates or the
Residual 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 and/or 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, Certificate Owner or prospective
transferee of a Class M-10 Certificate, a Class CE Certificate, a Class P
Certificate or a Residual Certificate, the private placement memorandum or other
disclosure document relating to such Certificate, if any, 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 Master Servicer since the Closing
Date to evidence the Master 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 Master Servicer since the Closing
Date pursuant to Section 4.04(a). Copies and mailing of any and all of the
foregoing items shall be available from the Trustee upon request at the expense
of the person requesting the same.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                      THE DEPOSITOR AND THE MASTER SERVICER

                  SECTION 6.01. Liability of the Depositor and the Master
                                Servicer.

                  The Depositor and the Master Servicer each shall be liable in
accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed
by this Agreement and undertaken hereunder by the Depositor and the Master
Servicer herein.

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

                  Subject to the following paragraph, the Depositor shall 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 Master Servicer shall keep in full effect its existence, rights
and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation and its qualification as an approved conventional seller/servicer
for Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac in good standing. The Depositor and the Master
Servicer each shall 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 Master 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 Master Servicer shall be a party, or
any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor or the Master Servicer,
shall be the successor of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as the case may
be, hereunder, without the 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 Master 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 shall 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
                                Master Servicer and Others.

                  None of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer
or any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor or the
Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the
Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any
action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment;
provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the NIMS
Insurer, the Master Servicer or any such person against any breach of
warranties, representations or covenants made herein, or against any specific
liability imposed on the Master Servicer pursuant hereto, or against any
liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad
faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the NIMS Insurer,
the Master Servicer or the Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent
of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee 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 NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, or the
Master Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against
any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action
relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability
or expense 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, in the case of the Depositor and the Master Servicer, 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. None of the Depositor, the NIMS
Insurer or the Master Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in,
prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action is related to its
respective duties under this Agreement and, in its opinion, does not involve it
in any expense or liability; provided, however, that each of the Depositor, the
NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such
action which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement
and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the
Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, unless the Depositor or the Master
Servicer acts without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at
least 51% of the Voting Rights (which consent shall not be necessary in the case
of litigation or other legal action by either to enforce their respective rights
or defend themselves hereunder), the legal expenses and costs of such action and
any liability resulting therefrom (except any loss, liability or expense
incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder) shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of
the Trust Fund, and the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer
shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as and
to the extent provided in Section 3.05, any such right of reimbursement being
prior to the rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the
Collection Account.

                  SECTION 6.04. Limitation on Resignation of the Master
                                Servicer.

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

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

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

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

                       SECTION 6.06. Sub-Servicing Agreements Between the Master
                                     Servicer and Sub-Servicers.

                  (a) The Master Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing
Agreements (provided that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a
downgrade by any Rating Agency of the ratings on any Class of Certificates and
the NIMS Insurer shall have consented to such Sub-Servicing Agreement) with
Sub-Servicers, for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans.

                  Each Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business
in the state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to
service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable
the Sub-Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the
Sub-Servicing Agreement, (ii) an institution approved as a mortgage loan
originator by the Federal Housing Administration or an institution the deposit
accounts in which are insured by the FDIC and (iii) a Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae
approved mortgage servicer. Each Sub-Servicing Agreement must impose on the
Sub-Servicer requirements conforming to the provisions set forth in Section 6.11
and provide for servicing of the Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of
this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall examine each Sub-Servicing Agreement
and shall be familiar with the terms thereof. The terms of any Sub-Servicing
Agreement shall not be inconsistent with any of the provisions of this
Agreement. The Master Servicer and the Sub-Servicers may enter into and make
amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into different forms of
Sub-Servicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments or
different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this
Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form shall be made or entered
into which could be reasonably expected to be materially adverse to the
interests of the Certificateholders, without the consent of the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any variation
without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of
the Voting Rights from the provisions set forth in Section 6.11, provisions
relating to insurance in Section 3.10 or priority requirements of Sub-Servicing
Accounts, or credits and charges to the Sub-Servicing Accounts or the timing and
amount of remittances by the Sub-Servicers to the Master Servicer, are
conclusively deemed to be inconsistent with this Agreement and therefore
prohibited. The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the NIMS
Insurer copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments or
modifications thereof, promptly upon the Master Servicer's execution and
delivery of such instruments.

                  (b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master
Servicer (except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of this paragraph),
for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the
obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement and
of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including, without
limitation, any obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments as
required by a Sub-Servicing Agreement, or to purchase a Mortgage Loan on account
of missing or defective documentation or on account of a breach of a
representation, warranty or covenant, as described in Section 2.03(a). Such
enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims,
termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements, and the pursuit of other appropriate
remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such
time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require
were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay
the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall be reimbursed
therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement, to
the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the
related Mortgage Loans or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or
attorneys' fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed.
Enforcement of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement against the Seller shall be
effected by the Master Servicer to the extent it is not the Seller, and
otherwise by the Trustee, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this
paragraph.

                  SECTION 6.07. Successor Sub-Servicers.

                  The Master Servicer, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer,
shall be entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement and the rights and
obligations of any Sub-Servicer pursuant to any Sub-Servicing Agreement in
accordance with the terms and conditions of such Sub-Servicing Agreement. In the
event of termination of any Sub-Servicer, all servicing obligations of such
Sub-Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by the Master Servicer without any
act or deed on the part of such Sub-Servicer or the Master Servicer, and the
Master Servicer either shall service directly the related Mortgage Loans or
shall enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor Sub-Servicer which
qualifies under Section 6.06.

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

                  SECTION 6.08. Liability of the Master Servicer.

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

                  SECTION 6.09. No Contractual Relationship Between
                                Sub-Servicers and the NIMS Insurer,
                                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
Master Servicer alone, and the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee and 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 6.10. The Master Servicer shall be solely liable for all
fees owed by it to any Sub-Servicer, irrespective of whether the Master
Servicer's compensation pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient to pay such
fees.

                  SECTION 6.10. Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing
                                Agreements by Trustee.

                  In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no
longer be the master servicer (including termination due to a Master Servicer
Event of Default), the Trustee or its designee shall thereupon assume (or cause
its designee or the successor master servicer for the Trustee appointed pursuant
to Section 7.02 to assume) all of the rights and obligations of the Master
Servicer under each Sub-Servicing Agreement that the Master Servicer may have
entered into, unless the Trustee elects to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement
in accordance with its terms as provided in Section 6.07. 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 6.07, to have
assumed all of the Master Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced the
Master Servicer as a party to each Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as
if each Sub-Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party, except
that (i) the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or
obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement and (ii) none of the Trustee, its
designee or any successor Master Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed any
liability or obligation of the Master Servicer that arose before it ceased to be
the Master Servicer.

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

                  SECTION 6.11. Sub-Servicing Accounts.

                  In those cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage
Loan pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer shall be required
to establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the "Sub-Servicing
Account"). The Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account. The
Sub-Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account (which account must be an
Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on
mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a
daily basis, and in no event more than 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 deposit of such funds
into the clearing account. The Sub-Servicer shall thereafter deposit such
proceeds in the Collection Account or remit such proceeds to the Master Servicer
for deposit in the Collection Account not later than two Business Days after the
deposit of such amounts in the Sub-Servicing Account. For purposes of this
Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on the
Mortgage Loans when the Sub-Servicer receives such payments.

                                  ARTICLE VII

                                     DEFAULT

                  SECTION 7.01. Master Servicer Events of Default.

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

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

                  (ii) any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to
         observe or perform in any material respect any of the covenants or
         agreements on the part of the Master Servicer contained in the
         Certificates or in this Agreement (or, if the Master Servicer is the
         Seller, the failure of the Seller to repurchase a Mortgage Loan as to
         which a breach has been established that requires a repurchase pursuant
         to the terms of Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement)
         which continues unremedied for a period of 45 days after the earlier of
         (i) the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the
         same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by
         the Depositor or the Trustee, or to the Master Servicer, the Depositor
         and the Trustee by the NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates
         entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights and (ii) actual knowledge
         of such failure by a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer; or

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

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

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

                  (vi) any failure by the Master Servicer of the Master Servicer
         Termination Test; or

                  (vii) any failure of the Master Servicer to make any Advance
         on any Master Servicer Remittance Date required to be made from its own
         funds pursuant to Section 4.03 which continues unremedied until 3:00
         p.m. New York time on the Business Day immediately following the Master
         Servicer Remittance Date.

                  If a Master 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 Master Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied,
the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer or the Trustee may, at the written direction of
the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of Voting Rights, or at the
direction of the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the
Master Servicer and the Depositor, terminate all of the rights and obligations
of the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement,
to the extent permitted by law, and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the
proceeds thereof. If a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clause
(vii) hereof shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master
Servicer and the Depositor, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the
Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement and in
and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof and the Trustee as successor
Master Servicer or a successor Master Servicer appointed in accordance with
Section 7.02, shall immediately make such Advance(which Advance shall be part of
Available Funds for such Distribution Date) and assume, pursuant to Section
7.02, the duties of a successor Master Servicer. On or after the receipt by the
Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other
than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall
pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section and,
without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered, as
attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute and deliver on behalf of and at the
expense of the Master Servicer, any and all documents and other instruments and
to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect
the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and
endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or
otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees, at its sole cost and expense, promptly
(and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to such notice) to
provide the Trustee with all documents and records requested by it to enable it
to assume the Master Servicer's functions under this Agreement, and to cooperate
with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer's
responsibilities and rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation,
the transfer within one Business Day to the Trustee for administration by it of
all cash amounts which at the time shall be or should have been credited by the
Master Servicer to the Collection Account held by or on behalf of the Master
Servicer, the Distribution Account or any REO Account or Escrow Account held by
or on behalf of the Master Servicer or thereafter be received with respect to
the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property serviced by the Master Servicer
(provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall continue to be entitled to
receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior to
the date of such termination, whether in respect of Advances or otherwise, and
shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.03, notwithstanding
any such termination, with respect to events occurring prior to such
termination). For purposes of this Section 7.01, the Trustee shall not be deemed
to have knowledge of a Master Servicer Event of Default unless a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in the Trustee's Corporate Trust
Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice is received by the
Trustee of any such event and such notice references the Certificates, REMIC I
or this Agreement.

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

                  SECTION 7.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

                  (a) On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a
notice of termination, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the
Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement and the
transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter
placed on the Master Servicer (except for any representations or warranties of
the Master Servicer under this Agreement, the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities contained in Section 2.03(c) and its obligation to deposit amounts
in respect of losses pursuant to Section 3.06) by the terms and provisions
hereof including, without limitation, the Master 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 Master Servicer's
failure to provide information required by Section 7.01 shall not be considered
a default by the Trustee as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder;
provided, however, it is understood and acknowledged by the parties that there
shall be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the servicing
transfer is fully effected. As compensation therefor, effective from and after
the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination or immediately
upon assumption of the obligations to make Advances, the Trustee shall be
entitled to the Servicing Fee and all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans to
which the Master Servicer would have been entitled if it had continued to act
hereunder (other than amounts which were due or would become due to the Master
Servicer prior to its termination or resignation). Notwithstanding the above and
subject to the next paragraph, 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 or the NIMS Insurer
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 (with confirmation from the Rating
Agencies that such appointment shall not result in the reduction or withdrawal
of the rating of any outstanding Class of Certificates) and acceptable to the
NIMS Insurer and having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 as the
successor to the Master Servicer under this Agreement in the assumption of all
or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement. No appointment of a successor to the Master
Servicer under this Agreement shall be effective until the assumption by the
successor of all of the Master Servicer's responsibilities, duties and
liabilities hereunder. In connection with such appointment and assumption
described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of
such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall
agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that
permitted the Master Servicer as such hereunder. The Depositor, the Trustee and
such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall
be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Pending appointment of a
successor to the Master Servicer under this Agreement, the Trustee shall act in
such capacity as hereinabove provided.

                  Upon removal or resignation of the Master Servicer, the
Trustee, with the cooperation of the Depositor, (x) shall solicit bids for a
successor Master Servicer as described below and (y) pending the appointment of
a successor Master Servicer as a result of soliciting such bids, shall serve as
Master Servicer of the Mortgage Loans serviced by such predecessor Master
Servicer. The Trustee shall solicit, by public announcement, bids from housing
and home finance institutions, banks and mortgage servicing institutions meeting
the qualifications set forth above (including the Trustee or any affiliate
thereof) (including that such mortgage loan servicing institution shall be
acceptable to each Rating Agency and the NIMS Insurer). Such public announcement
shall specify that the successor Master Servicer shall be entitled to the
servicing compensation agreed upon between the Trustee, the successor Master
Servicer and the Depositor; provided, however, that no such fee shall exceed the
Servicing Fee. Within thirty days after any such public announcement, the
Trustee, with the cooperation of the Depositor, shall negotiate in good faith
and effect the sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and
responsibilities hereunder to the qualified party submitting the highest
satisfactory bid as to the price they shall pay to obtain such servicing. The
Trustee upon receipt of the purchase price shall pay such purchase price to the
Master Servicer being so removed, after deducting from any sum received by the
Trustee from the successor to the Master Servicer in respect of such sale,
transfer and assignment all costs and expenses of any public announcement and of
any sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities
reasonably incurred hereunder. After such deductions, the remainder of such sum
shall be paid by the Trustee to the Master Servicer at the time of such sale.

                  (b) If the Master Servicer fails to remit to the Trustee for
distribution to the Certificateholders any payment required to be made under the
terms of the Certificates and this Agreement (for purposes of this Section
7.02(b), a "Remittance") because the Master Servicer is the subject of a
proceeding under the federal Bankruptcy Code and the making of such Remittance
is prohibited by Section 362 of the federal Bankruptcy Code, the Trustee shall
upon notice of such prohibition, regardless of whether it has received a notice
of termination under Section 7.01, advance the amount of such Remittance by
depositing such amount in the Distribution Account on the related Distribution
Date. The Trustee shall be obligated to make such advance only if (i) such
advance, in the good faith judgment of the Trustee can reasonably be expected to
be ultimately recoverable from Stayed Funds and (ii) the Trustee is not
prohibited by law from making such advance or obligating itself to do so. Upon
remittance of the Stayed Funds to the Trustee or the deposit thereof in the
Distribution Account by the Master Servicer, a trustee in bankruptcy or a
federal bankruptcy court, the Trustee may recover the amount so advanced,
without interest, by withdrawing such amount from the Distribution Account;
however, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to affect the Trustee's
rights to recover from the Master Servicer's own funds interest on the amount of
any such advance. If the Trustee at any time makes an advance under this
Subsection which it later determines in its good faith judgment shall not be
ultimately recoverable from the Stayed Funds with respect to which such advance
was made, the Trustee shall be entitled to reimburse itself for such advance,
without interest, by withdrawing from the Distribution Account, out of amounts
on deposit therein, an amount equal to the portion of such advance attributable
to the Stayed Funds.

                  (c) If the Master Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section
7.01, then the successor Master Servicer shall not be permitted to reimburse
itself directly for Advances or Servicing Advances under Section 3.05(a)(ii),
Section 3.05(a)(iii), Section 3.05(a)(v) or Section 3.05(a)(vii) if the Master
Servicer has not been fully reimbursed for its Advances and Servicing Advances,
but instead the successor Master Servicer shall include such amounts in the
applicable remittance to the Trustee made pursuant to Section 3.04(g) to the
extent of amounts on deposit in the Collection Account on the related Master
Servicer Remittance Date. The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay to the
terminated Master Servicer (or the related Advancing Person in accordance with
Section 3.23) and the successor Master Servicer, as applicable, reimbursements
for Advances and Servicing Advances from the Distribution Account to the same
extent each such Master Servicer would have been permitted to reimburse itself
for such Advances and/or Servicing Advances in accordance with Section
3.05(a)(ii), Section 3.05(a)(iii), Section 3.05(a)(v) or Section 3.05(a)(vii),
as the case may be. 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. At such time as the Master Servicer (or related
Advancing Person) has been reimbursed for all Advances and Servicing Advances
made by it, the successor Master Servicer shall no longer be required to remit
in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 7.02(c) and shall then be
permitted to reimburse itself directly for Advances and Servicing Advances in
accordance with Section 3.05(a)(ii), Section 3.05(a)(iii), Section 3.05(a)(v) or
Section 3.05(a)(vii).

                  SECTION 7.03. Notification to Certificateholders.

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

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

                  SECTION 7.04. Waiver of Master Servicer Events of Default.

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

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                             CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

                  SECTION 8.01. Duties of Trustee.

                  The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer
Event of Default and after the curing of all Master 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 Master 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 respective satisfaction, such dissatisfied party shall provide
notice thereof to the Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer.

                  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 Master Servicer Event of
         Default, and after the curing of all such Master 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 NIMS Insurer or 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.

                  The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own
funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its
duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is
reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and
none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require it
to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the
obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, except during such
time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the
rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Master Servicer in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement.

                  SECTION 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.

                  (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:

                  (i) The Trustee may request and rely upon and shall be
         protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution,
         Officers' Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other
         certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
         consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document 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 or the NIMS Insurer, pursuant to the provisions of
         this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer, as
         applicable, 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 Master 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 Master Servicer Event of
         Default hereunder and after the curing of all Master 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 NIMS Insurer or 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 reasonable indemnity against such expense, or
         liability from such Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer 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 or attorneys; and

                  (vii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any loss
         resulting from the investment of funds held in the Collection Account,
         the Escrow Account or the REO Account made at the direction of the
         Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06.

                  (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.

                  (c) The Depositor hereby directs the Trustee to execute,
deliver and perform its obligations under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement and
to assign any rights to receive payments from the Swap Provider to the Swap
Administrator pursuant to the Swap Administration Agreement and the Depositor
further directs the Trustee to execute, deliver and perform its obligation under
the Swap Administration Agreement. The Seller, the Depositor, the Master
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
Interest Rate Swap Agreement and the Swap Administration Agreement and shall do
so solely in its capacity as Trustee of the Trust Fund or as Swap Administrator,
as the case may be, and not in its individual capacity. Every provision of this
Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording
protection to the Trustee shall apply to the Trustee's execution of the Interest
Rate Swap Agreement and the Swap Administration Agreement, and the performance
of its duties and satisfaction of its obligations thereunder.

                  (d) The Depositor hereby directs the Trustee to execute and
deliver the PMI Policy on behalf of the Trust Fund in the form presented to it
by the Depositor. Every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct or
affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall apply to
the Trustee's execution of the PMI Policy, and the performance of its duties and
satisfaction of its obligations thereunder.

                  SECTION 8.03. The 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. 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 Master
Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the
Collection Account by the Master Servicer, other than, subject to Section 8.01,
any funds held by or on behalf of the Trustee in accordance with Section 3.04.

                  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 and, to the extent
that the funds therein are at any time insufficient for such purpose, the
Depositor shall pay such fees. The Trustee, or any director, officer, employee
or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified by REMIC I 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 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 (up to a limit of $600,000 per calendar year so long as any notes
issued pursuant to the Indenture are insured by a NIMS Insurer), other than any
loss, liability or expense (i) resulting from a breach of the Master Servicer's
obligations and duties under this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans (for which
the Master Servicer shall indemnify pursuant to Section 8.05(b)), (ii) that
constitutes a specific liability of the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01(c) 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 obligations and duties hereunder or as
a result of a breach of its obligations under Article X hereof. 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 Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee from,
and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense resulting from a
breach of the Master Servicer's obligations and duties under this Agreement.
Such indemnity shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement and
the resignation or removal of the Trustee. Any payment hereunder made by the
Master Servicer to the Trustee shall be from the Master Servicer's own funds,
without reimbursement from the Trust Fund therefor.

                  (c) The Master Servicer shall pay any annual rating agency
fees of the Rating Agencies for ongoing surveillance from its own funds without
right of reimbursement.

                  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 Master 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
conditions 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 NIMS
Insurer, the Master Servicer and the Certificateholders. Upon receiving such
notice of resignation of the Trustee, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a
successor trustee acceptable to the NIMS Insurer 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 Master 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, the resigning
Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of
a successor trustee.

                  If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Depositor or the NIMS Insurer, 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 respective property shall be
appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or
of its respective property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor or the NIMS Insurer may remove
the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee acceptable to the NIMS Insurer 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 Master Servicer by the Depositor.

                  The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the
Voting Rights (or the NIMS Insurer upon failure of the Trustee to perform its
obligations hereunder) may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a
successor trustee acceptable to the NIMS Insurer 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 Master 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, the NIMS Insurer 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 each 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
Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall
execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by
the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer 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 Master
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
Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer. If the Master Servicer and the NIMS
Insurer 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 Master Servicer Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the
power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder
shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under
Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to the Holders of Certificates of the
appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under
Section 8.08 hereof.

                  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 Master Servicer hereunder), the
Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in
which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding
of title to 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, the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer.

                  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 Custodians.

                  The Trustee may, with the consent of the Depositor and the
Master Servicer appoint one or more Custodians to hold all or a portion of the
Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee, by entering into a Custodial Agreement.
The appointment of any Custodian may at any time be terminated and a substitute
Custodian appointed therefor upon the reasonable request of the Master Servicer
to the Trustee, the consent to which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The
Trustee shall pay any and all fees and expenses of any Custodian in accordance
with each Custodial Agreement (provided that if expenses of the kind that would
be reimbursable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.05 if incurred by the
Trustee are incurred by the Custodian, the Trustee shall be entitled to
reimbursement under Section 8.05 for such kind of expenses to the extent the
Trustee has paid such expenses on behalf of the Custodian or for which the
Trustee has reimbursed the Custodian). The Trustee initially appoints the
Custodian as Custodian, and the Depositor and the Master Servicer consent to
such appointment. Subject to Article VIII hereof, the Trustee agrees to comply
with the terms of each 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 such
Custodian. Each 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. Each Custodial
Agreement may be amended only as provided in Section 11.01. In no event shall
the appointment of any Custodian pursuant to a Custodial Agreement diminish the
obligations of the Trustee hereunder.

                  SECTION 8.12. Appointment of Office or Agency.

                  The Trustee shall 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, New York 10041 for such purposes.

                  SECTION 8.13. Representations and Warranties of the Trustee.

                  The Trustee hereby represents and warrants, to the Master
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,
         shall not violate its charter or bylaws or constitute a default (or an
         event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a
         default) under, or result in the breach of, any material agreement or
         other instrument to which it is a party or which is applicable to it or
         any of its assets.

                  (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.

                  (v) It is not in violation of, and its execution and delivery
         of this Agreement and its performance and compliance with the terms of
         this Agreement shall not constitute a violation of, any law, any order
         or decree of any court or arbiter, or any order, regulation or demand
         of any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory authority,
         which violation, in its good faith and reasonable judgment, is likely
         to affect materially and adversely either the ability of it to perform
         its obligations under this Agreement or its financial condition.

                  (vi) No litigation is pending or, to the best knowledge,
         threatened against it which would prohibit it from entering into this
         Agreement or, in its good faith reasonable judgment, is likely to
         materially and adversely affect either its ability to perform its
         obligations under this Agreement or its financial condition.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                                   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 Master Servicer and
the Trustee (other than the obligations of the Master Servicer to the Trustee
pursuant to Section 8.05 and of the Master Servicer to provide for and the
Trustee to make payments in respect of the REMIC Regular Interests or 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 "latest possible maturity
date" and (b) 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. The purchase by the
Terminator of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I
shall be at a price (the "Termination Price") equal to greater of (A) the
aggregate fair market value of all of the assets of REMIC I and (B) the sum of
the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans (after giving effect to
scheduled payments of principal due during the related Due Period, to the extent
received or advanced, and unscheduled collections of principal received during
the related Prepayment Period) and the appraised fair market value of the REO
Properties plus accrued interest through the end of the calendar month preceding
the month of the final Distribution Date and any unreimbursed Advances and
Servicing Advances(in the case of fair market values required to be determined
under (A) or (B) above, as determined by the Terminator, the Trustee and, if the
Terminator is not the NIMS Insurer, the NIMS Insurer, 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 Certificateholders pursuant to the third
paragraph of this Section 9.01); 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 note balance of, each class of notes
issued pursuant to the Indenture and any amounts owed to the NIMS Insurer at the
time the option is exercised.

                  (b) The Master Servicer (or if the Master Servicer fails to
exercise such right, the NIMS Insurer) 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 shall 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 (A) 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 less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
as of the Cut-off Date and (B) if the Terminator is the Master Servicer and is
an affiliate of the Seller, the Master Servicer shall have delivered to the
Trustee and the NIMS Insurer a written certification that the burdens of
servicing the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties remaining in REMIC I exceed the
benefits of the Servicing Fees that would be realized by the Master Servicer if
it continued to service such assets on behalf of the Trust Fund. By acceptance
of the Residual Certificates, the Holders of the Residual Certificates agree, in
connection with any termination hereunder, to pledge 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 REMIC Regular Interests
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
15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month
of the final distribution on the 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 shall
terminate and final payment in respect of the REMIC Regular Interests and the
Certificates shall 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 Regular Interests or the 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 Certificates at the
office of the Trustee. The Trustee shall give such notice to the Certificate
Registrar at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders. 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 preceding the final Distribution Date on
the Certificates an amount in immediately available funds equal to the
above-described purchase price. Upon certification to the Trustee by a Servicing
Officer of the making of such final deposit, the Trustee shall promptly release
or cause to be released 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.

                  (d) Upon presentation of the Certificates by the
Certificateholders on the final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute
to each Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its Certificates the
amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date in accordance with
Section 4.01 in respect of the Certificates so presented and surrendered. Any
funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates being retired 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 9.01 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 remaining related
non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The
costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust and of contacting such
Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining in the trust funds.
If within one year after the final notice any such Certificates shall not have
been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall pay to the Representative
all remaining 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 9.01.

                  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 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
         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 applicable Terminator (or in the
event of termination under Section 9.01(a)(ii), at the expense of the Trustee),
the Trustee 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.

                                   ARTICLE X

                                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 shall 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, (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, (ii) the REMIC II Regular Interests 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 and (iii) the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine
Certificates, the Class SWAP-IO Interest, the Class CE Certificates and the
Class P Certificates shall be designated as the Regular Interests in REMIC III
and the Class R-III Interest shall be designated as the Residual Interest in

Trust REMIC (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) other than the
REMIC I Regular Interests, the REMIC II 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 pay out of its own funds, without any
right of reimbursement, any and all expenses relating to any tax audit of the
Trust Fund caused by the Trustee (including, but not limited to, any
professional fees or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to
any Trust REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax
authorities), other than the expense of obtaining any tax related Opinion of
Counsel except as specified herein. 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 related REMIC 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 in respect of each REMIC created hereunder. The expenses of preparing
and filing such returns shall be borne by the Trustee without any right of
reimbursement therefor. The Master Servicer shall provide on a timely basis to
the Trustee or its designee such information with respect to the assets of the
Trust Fund as is in its possession and reasonably required by the Trustee to
enable it to perform its obligations under this Article.

                  (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 shall
serve as the representative of each Trust REMIC. The Master Servicer shall
provide on a timely basis to the Trustee such information with respect to the
assets of the Trust Fund, including, without limitation, the Mortgage Loans, as
is in its possession and reasonably required by the Trustee to enable each of
them to perform their respective obligations under this subsection. In addition,
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
REMIC created hereunder to take such action as shall be necessary to create or
maintain the status thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions (and the
Master Servicer shall assist it, to the extent reasonably requested by it). The
Trustee shall not take any action, cause the Trust Fund to take any action or
fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC
Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the
status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax
upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited
transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on
contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such
event, an "Adverse REMIC Event") unless the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer have
received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer
(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 shall not,
with respect to any Trust REMIC, endanger such status or result in the
imposition of such a tax, nor shall the Master Servicer take or fail to take any
action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Trustee and the
NIMS Insurer has advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to
such action. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any Trust
REMIC or 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 Master
Servicer shall consult with the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer 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 Master Servicer shall not take
any such action or cause any Trust REMIC to take any such action as to which the
Trustee or the NIMS Insurer has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC
Event could occur. The Trustee or the NIMS Insurer 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 Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee shall ensure that
substantially all of the assets of any Trust REMIC shall consist of "qualified
mortgages" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and "permitted
investments" as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

                  (g) In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited
transactions" of any REMIC created hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of
the Code, on the "net income from foreclosure property" of 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 Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the
Master Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or this Article X,
or otherwise (iii) against amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account and
shall be paid by withdrawal therefrom.

                  (h) On or before April 15th of each calendar year, commencing
April 15, 2006, the Trustee shall deliver to the Master Servicer, the NIMS
Insurer and each Rating Agency a Certificate from a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee stating, without regard to any action taken by any party other than the
Trustee, 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. The Trustee shall apply for an Employer Identification
Number for the Trust Fund from the Internal Revenue Service via a Form SS-4 or
such other form as is appropriate.

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

                  (k) Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall enter
into any arrangement by which any Trust REMIC shall receive a fee or other
compensation for services nor permit any such REMIC to receive any income from
assets other than the Mortgage Pool which are deemed to constitute "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 Master 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), or acquire any assets for any Trust REMIC
(other than REO Property acquired in respect of a defaulted Mortgage Loan), or
sell or dispose of any investments in the Collection Account or the Distribution
Account for gain, or accept any contributions to any Trust REMIC after the
Closing Date (other than a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in
accordance with Section 2.03), unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel,
addressed to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer (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 shall not (a) affect
adversely the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (b) cause any Trust REMIC
to be subject to a tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions" pursuant
to the REMIC Provisions.

                  SECTION 10.03. Master Servicer and Trustee Indemnification.

                  (a) The Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the NIMS
Insurer, the Depositor and the Master 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 Master Servicer, caused solely
by the Trustee's failure to act in accordance with its standard of care set
forth in this Article X or any state, local or franchise taxes imposed upon the
Trust as a result of the location of the Trustee.

                  (b) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund,
the NIMS Insurer, 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 Master Servicer's covenants set forth in Article III or this
Article X or any state, local or franchise taxes imposed upon the Trust as a
result of the location of the Master Servicer or any subservicer.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

                  SECTION 11.01. Amendment.

                  This Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from
time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, if
applicable, the Custodian with the consent of the NIMS Insurer and 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), or in any Custodial
Agreement, or (iii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or
questions arising under this Agreement or in any Custodial Agreement which shall
not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement or such Custodial
Agreement, provided that such action shall not adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced by either (i) an
Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Master Servicer and the Trustee to such
effect or (ii) confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such amendment shall
not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding Class
of Certificates. 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 shall be required to address the effect of
any such amendment on any such consenting Certificateholder.

                  This Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended
from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and
the Trustee with the consent of the NIMS Insurer and 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 any Custodial Agreement or of modifying in any manner the
rights of the Swap Provider or 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
Swap Provider or Holders or 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 Master Servicer and the Trustee from the Rating Agencies that
such action shall 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 Master 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,
neither the Trustee nor the NIMS Insurer shall consent to any amendment to this
Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory
to the NIMS Insurer to the effect that such amendment shall 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.

                  Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section
11.01, none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall enter
into any amendment of this Agreement that would significantly change the
permitted activities of the Trust Fund without the consent of the NIMS Insurer
and the Holders of Certificates that represent more than 50% of the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of all Certificates.

                  Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section
11.01, none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall enter
into any amendment to Section 3.05(c)(i), Section 4.01(e), Section 4.09 or
Section 11.10 of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Swap
Provider.

                  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 respective 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 Master Servicer at the expense of the Certificateholders, but
only upon direction of the Trustee 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 (i)
such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of
default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and (ii) 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 the name of the 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
and 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 and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties

                  SECTION 11.09. Grant of Security Interest.

                  It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the
conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee be, and be
construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor and not a pledge of
the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to secure a debt or other obligation of the
Depositor or the Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the
aforementioned intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property
of the Depositor or 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
Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor
or 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 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 Seller
and the Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the Seller's
and 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
on behalf of the Certificateholders the performance by the Depositor of the
obligations described in clause (3) of the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding

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-1A 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 or on behalf of 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

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

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

Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or
certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

                  The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the rights of
the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
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 and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or
such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations 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, 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 Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar 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 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 cannot be exercised until the Optional Termination 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 Certificate Registrar, 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.

                  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-3C 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 or on behalf of 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
be the lesser of (x) the related Formula Rate for such Distribution Date and (y)
the Net WAC Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date. For any Distribution
Date and this Certificate, the Formula Rate is One-Month LIBOR plus the
Certificate Margin.

                  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 Master Servicer, the Trustee and the rights of
the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
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 and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or
such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations 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, 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 Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar 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 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 cannot be exercised until the Optional Termination 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 Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate
shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any
purpose.

limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new

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.

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 Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar 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 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 cannot be exercised until the Optional Termination 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 Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate
shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any
purpose.

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.

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

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 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 cannot be exercised until the Optional Termination 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 Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate
shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any
purpose.

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

                  No transfer of this Certificate may be made 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.

                  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 Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the

Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar 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 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 cannot be exercised until the Optional Termination 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 Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate
shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any
purpose.

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

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

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 and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or
such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations 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, 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 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 and the Certificate Registrar 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 Master Servicer in their respective capacities as such), together
with copies of the written certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate
desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Holder's prospective transferee upon
which such Opinion of Counsel is based. None of the Depositor, the Certificate
Registrar or the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class of
Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other
securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement
to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or
qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate
shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate
Registrar and the Master Servicer against any liability that may result if the
transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and
state laws.

                  No transfer of this Certificate may be made 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.

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

                  The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar 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 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 cannot be exercised until the Optional Termination 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 Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate
shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any
purpose.

transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and an effective

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

Registrar or the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class of
Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other
securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement
to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or
qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate
shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate
Registrar and the Master Servicer against any liability that may result if the

state laws.

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.

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

                  The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar 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 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 cannot be exercised until the Optional Termination 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 Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate
shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any
purpose.

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 and the Certificate Registrar 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 Master Servicer in their respective capacities as such), together
with copies of the written certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate
desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Holder's prospective transferee upon
which such Opinion of Counsel is based. None of the Depositor, the Certificate
Registrar or the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class of
Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other
securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement
to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or
qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate
shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate
Registrar and the Master Servicer against any liability that may result if the
transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and
state laws.

                  No transfer of this Certificate may be made 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.

                  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.

                  No transfer of this Certificate may be made 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.

                  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 Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar 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 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 cannot be exercised until the Optional Termination 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 Certificate Registrar, 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.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

                  Pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2005, among Ameriquest Mortgage Securities Inc.
as Depositor, Ameriquest Mortgage Company, as master servicer and Deutsche Bank
National Trust Company as trustee, we hereby acknowledge 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 or
such Custodian and are not mutilated, torn or defaced unless initialed by the

in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items (1) through (3), (6),
(9), (10), (13), (15) and (19) of the definition of "Mortgage Loan Schedule"
accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File.

                  The Trustee has made no independent examination of any

                    FORM OF MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT

<PAGE>

                        MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT

                  This is a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement"),
dated April 22, 2005, between Ameriquest Mortgage Company, a Delaware
corporation (the "Seller"), and Ameriquest Mortgage Securities Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Purchaser").

                              PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
                              ---------------------

                  The Seller intends to sell the Mortgage Loans (as hereinafter
defined) to the Purchaser on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
in this Agreement. The Purchaser shall deposit the Mortgage Loans into a
mortgage pool constituting the Trust Fund. The Trust Fund will be evidenced by a
single series of asset-backed pass-through certificates designated as Series
2005-R3 (the "Certificates"). The Certificates will consist of twenty-one
classes of certificates. The Class CE Certificates, the Class P Certificates and
the Class R Certificates (collectively, the "Non-Offered Certificates") will be
delivered to the Seller or its designee as partial consideration for the
Mortgage Loans as further described below.

                  The Certificates will be issued pursuant to a Pooling and
Servicing Agreement relating to the Series 2005-R3 Certificates, dated as of
April 1, 2005 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), among the Purchaser as
depositor (in such capacity, the "Depositor"), the Seller as master servicer (in
such capacity the "Master Servicer") and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company as
trustee (the "Trustee"). Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the
Depositor 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. 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 hereby sells, and
the Purchaser hereby purchases, as of April 27, 2005 (the "Closing Date"),
certain adjustable-rate and fixed-rate conventional, one- to four-family,
residential mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans"), having an aggregate principal
balance as of the close of business on April 1, 2005 (the "Cut-off Date") of
$1,967,000,000, after giving effect to all payments due on the Mortgage Loans on
or before the Cut-off Date (the "Closing Balance"), whether or not received,
including the right to any Prepayment Charges collected after the Cut-off Date
from the Mortgagors in connection with any Principal Prepayments on the Mortgage
Loans. Any payments (including Prepayment Charges) collected on or before the
Cut-off Date, including 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. In addition to the sale of the Mortgage Loans, the Seller will
direct the Swap Administrator to enter into the Interest Rate Swap Agreement on
behalf of the Trust.

                  SECTION 2. MORTGAGE LOAN SCHEDULE AND PREPAYMENT CHARGE
SCHEDULE. The Purchaser and the Seller have agreed upon which of the mortgage
loans owned by the Seller are to be purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to this
Agreement, and the Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared on or prior to
the Closing Date a final schedule (the "Closing Schedule") describing such
Mortgage Loans and setting forth all of the Mortgage Loans to be purchased under
this Agreement. The Closing Schedule shall conform to the requirements set forth
in this Agreement and to the definition of "Mortgage Loan Schedule" under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Closing Schedule shall be used as the
Mortgage Loan Schedule under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Seller
shall also prepare or cause to be prepared on or prior to the Closing Date a
final schedule (the "Prepayment Charge Schedule") setting forth each Mortgage
Loan containing a Prepayment Charge and conforming to the definition of
Prepayment Charge Schedule under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

                  SECTION 3. CONSIDERATION.

                  (a) In consideration for the Mortgage Loans to be purchased
hereunder, the Purchaser shall, as described in Section 8, (i) pay to or upon
the order of the Seller in immediately available funds an amount equal to the
net sale proceeds of the Class A and Mezzanine Certificates and (ii) deliver to
the Seller or its designee the Non-Offered Certificates.

                  (b) Reserved.

                  SECTION 4. Transfer of the Mortgage Loans.

                  (a) POSSESSION OF MORTGAGE FILES. The Seller does hereby sell
to the Purchaser, without recourse but subject to the terms of this Agreement,
all of its rights, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans,
including the related Prepayment Charges collected after the Cut-off Date. 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 and contribution 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:

                           (1) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed in blank
         without recourse 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, or with respect
         to any lost Mortgage Note, an original Lost Note Affidavit; provided,
         however, that such substitutions of Lost Note Affidavits for original
         Mortgage Notes may occur only with respect to Mortgage Loans, the
         aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of which is less than or equal
         to 2.00% of the Pool Balance as of the Cut-off Date;

                           (2) the original Mortgage with evidence of recording
         thereon, and a copy, certified by the appropriate recording office, of
         the recorded power of attorney, if the Mortgage was executed pursuant
         to a power of attorney, with evidence of recording thereon;

                           (3) an original Assignment assigned in blank, without
         recourse;

                           (4) the original recorded intervening 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) or the original unrecorded
         intervening Assignments;

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

                           (6) the original lender's title insurance policy or
         an attorney's opinion of title or similar guarantee of title acceptable
         to mortgage lenders generally in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged
         Property is located, together with all endorsements or riders which
         were issued with or subsequent to the issuance of such policy, insuring
         the priority of the Mortgage as a first 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.

                  If any document referred to in Section 4(b)(2), 4(b)(3) or
4(b)(4) above has 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 hereunder shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon
(1) delivery by or on behalf of the Seller promptly upon receipt thereof to the
Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser of either the
original or a copy of such document certified by the Seller in the case of (x)
above or the public recording office in the case of (y) above to be a true and
complete copy of the recorded original thereof and (2) if such delivered copy is
certified by the Seller, then in addition thereto, delivery promptly upon
receipt thereof of either the original or a copy of such document certified by
the public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original. In
the event that the original lender's title insurance policy has not yet been
issued, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or
designee of the Purchaser a written commitment or interim binder or preliminary
report of title issued by the title insurance or escrow company. Promptly upon
receipt by the Seller of any such original title insurance policy the Seller
shall deliver such to the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of
the Purchaser.

                  The Seller shall promptly (and in no event later than thirty
(30) Business Days, subject to extension upon mutual agreement between the
Seller and the Trustee, following the later of (i) the Closing Date, (ii) the
date on which the Seller receives the Assignment from the Trustee and (iii) the
date of receipt by the Seller of the recording information for a Mortgage)
submit or cause to be submitted for recording, at no expense to the Trust Fund
or the Trustee, in the appropriate public office for real property records, each
Assignment referred to in (3) and (4) above and shall execute each original
Assignment referred to in (3) 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, so long as recordation of an Assignment is not necessary
to protect the Trustee's and the Certificateholders' interests in the related
Mortgage Loan under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged
Property is located, the Assignments shall not be required to be submitted for
recording (except with respect to any Mortgage Loan located in Maryland) unless
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 further,
however, each Assignment shall be submitted for recording by the Seller (at the
direction of the Master Servicer) 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 or the NIMS Insurer, (ii) a failure of the Master Servicer Termination
Test as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (iii) the occurrence
of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Seller, (iv) the occurrence of a
servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02 of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and (v) if the Seller is not the Master Servicer and with respect to
any one assignment or Mortgage, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or
foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage.

                  Each original document relating to any 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 or 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 (7) 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) Reserved.

                  (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, 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 under this Agreement shall be promptly
reimbursed by the Seller.

                  (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 at the Trustee's offices in Santa Ana, California. Such examination
may be made by the Purchaser, and its respective designees, upon reasonable
notice to the Seller and the Trustee during normal business hours before the
Closing Date and within sixty (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.

                  SECTION 5. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE
                             SELLER.

         performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be

         the Seller, the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller under the
         Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the consummation of any other of the
         transactions herein contemplated, and the fulfillment of or compliance

         this Agreement or (y) the business, operations, financial condition,
         properties or assets of the Seller taken as a whole;

                           (4) No consent, approval, authorization or order of

                             RELATING TO THE MORTGAGE LOANS.

                  (a) The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the
Purchaser, with respect to the Mortgage Loans as of the Closing Date or as of
such date specifically provided herein:

                           (1) The information set forth on the Mortgage Loan

         material respects;

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

                           (3) All payments due prior to the Cut-off Date have
         been made and none of the Mortgage Loans will have been contractually
         delinquent for more than one calendar month more than once since the
         origination thereof;

                           (4) Each Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first
         lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all improvements thereon,
         subject only to (a) the lien of nondelinquent current real property
         taxes and assessments, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions,
         rights of way, easements and other matters of public record as of the
         date of recording of such Mortgage, such exceptions appearing of record
         being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally or
         specifically reflected in the appraisal made in connection with the
         origination of the related Mortgage Loan, and (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
         such Mortgage;

                           (5) Immediately prior to the sale of the Mortgage
         Loans to the Purchaser, the Seller had good title to, and was the sole

         to any Mortgage Note or Mortgage, including the obligation of the
         Mortgagor to pay the unpaid principal of or interest on such Mortgage
         Note, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note
         and the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the
         Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any valid
         right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the
         defense of usury and no such valid right of rescission, set-off,
         counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto;

                           (8) There are no mechanics' liens or claims for work,
         labor or material rendered to the Mortgaged Property affecting any
         Mortgaged Property which are or may be a lien prior to, or equal with,

                           (9) Subject to the Escrow Withhold referred to in
         (19) below, each Mortgaged Property is free of material damage and is
         in good repair;

                           (10) Each Mortgage Loan at origination complied in
         all material respects with applicable local, state and federal laws and
         regulations, including, without limitation, usury, equal credit
         opportunity, real estate settlement procedures, truth-in-lending,
         disclosure laws and all applicable predatory and abusive lending laws,
         and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not
         involve the violation of any such laws;

                           (11) Neither the Seller nor any prior holder of any
         Mortgage has modified, impaired or waived the Mortgage in any material
         respect (except that a Mortgage Loan may have been modified by a
         written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary, to protect
         the interests of the Purchaser and which has been delivered to the
         Trustee); satisfied, canceled or subordinated such Mortgage in whole or
         in part; released the related Mortgaged Property in whole or in part
         from the lien of such Mortgage; or executed any instrument of release,
         cancellation, modification or satisfaction with respect thereto;

                           (12) A lender's policy of title insurance together
         with a condominium endorsement, extended coverage endorsement, and an
         adjustable rate mortgage endorsement (each as applicable) in an amount
         at least equal to the Cut-off Date principal balance of each such
         Mortgage Loan or a commitment (binder) to issue the same was effective
         on the date of the origination of each Mortgage Loan, each such policy
         is valid and remains in full force and effect, the transfer of the
         related Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser will not affect the validity or
         enforceability of such policy and each such policy was issued by a
         title insurer qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the
         Mortgaged Property is located and in a form acceptable to Fannie Mae or
         Freddie Mac, which policy insures the Seller and successor owners of
         indebtedness secured by the insured Mortgage, as to the first priority
         lien of the Mortgage; no claims have been made under such lender's
         title insurance policy and no prior holder of the related Mortgage,
         including the Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which
         would impair the coverage of such lender's title insurance policy;

                           (13) Each Mortgage Loan was originated by the Seller,
         or an Affiliate of the Seller, in accordance with the underwriting
         standards as set forth in the Prospectus Supplement (or, if generated
         by an entity other than the Seller or an Affiliate of the Seller, in
         accordance with such other underwriting standards as set forth in the
         Prospectus Supplement or, if generated on behalf of the Seller or an
         Affiliate of the Seller by a person other than the Seller, is subject
         to the same underwriting standards and procedures used by the Seller in
         originating mortgage loans directly) or by a savings and loan
         association, savings bank, commercial bank, credit union, insurance
         company or similar institution which is supervised and examined by a
         federal or state authority (including a mortgage broker), or by a
         mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
         pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act;

                           (14) With respect to each Adjustable-Rate Mortgage
         Loan, on each adjustment date, the Mortgage Rate will be adjusted to
         equal the Index plus the Gross Margin, rounded to the nearest 0.125%,
         subject to the Periodic Rate Cap, the Maximum Mortgage Rate and the
         Minimum Mortgage Rate. The related Mortgage Note is payable on the
         first day of each month in self-amortizing monthly installments of
         principal and interest, with interest payable in arrears, and requires
         a monthly payment which is sufficient to fully amortize the outstanding
         principal balance of the Mortgage Loan over its remaining term and to
         pay interest at the applicable Mortgage Rate. No Mortgage Loan is
         subject to negative amortization;

                           (15) All of the improvements which were included for
         the purpose of determining the appraised value of the Mortgaged
         Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction
         lines of such property, and no improvements on adjoining properties
         encroach upon the Mortgaged Property, except those, if any, which are
         insured against by the lender's title insurance policy referred to in
         (12) above.

                           (16) All inspections, licenses and certificates
         required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of
         the Mortgaged Property, including but not limited to certificates of
         occupancy, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities,
         and the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law
         except as may otherwise be insured against by the lender's title
         insurance policy referred to in (12) above.

                           (17) All parties which have had any interest in the
         Mortgage, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are
         (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such

         requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is
         located;

                           (18) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are
         genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
         maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with its terms and with
         applicable laws. All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had
         legal capacity to execute the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and each
         Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such
         parties;

                           (19) The proceeds of each Mortgage Loan have been
         fully disbursed, there is no requirement for future advances thereunder
         and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or
         off-site improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds
         therefor have been complied with, except any Mortgaged Property or
         Mortgage Loan subject to an Escrow Withhold as defined in the
         Originator's underwriting guidelines. All costs, fees and expenses
         incurred in making, closing or recording the Mortgage Loans were paid;

                           (20) The related Mortgage contains customary and
         enforceable provisions which render the rights and remedies of the
         holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged
         Property of the benefits of the security, including, (i) in the case of
         a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (ii)
         otherwise by judicial foreclosure. 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;

                           (21) With respect to each Mortgage constituting 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 such 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;

                           (22) There exist no deficiencies with respect to
         escrow deposits and payments, if such are required, for which customary
         arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made, and no escrow
         deposits or payments of other charges or payments due the Seller have
         been capitalized under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note;

                           (23) The origination, collection and servicing
         practices used by the Seller (or its affiliate) with respect to each
         Mortgage Loan have been in all material respects legal, proper,
         reasonable and customary in the subprime mortgage origination and
         servicing business and each of the Mortgage Loans have been serviced by
         the Seller since origination;

                           (24) There is no pledged account or other security
         other than real estate securing the Mortgagor's obligations;

                           (25) No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation
         feature, or other contingent interest feature;

                           (26) The improvements upon each Mortgaged Property
         are covered by a valid, binding and existing hazard insurance policy
         that is in full force and effect with a generally acceptable carrier
         that provides for fire extended coverage and such other hazards as are
         customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located
         representing coverage not less than the lesser of the outstanding
         principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan or the minimum amount
         required to compensate for damage or loss on a replacement cost basis.
         All individual insurance policies and flood policies referred to in
         clause (27) below contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller
         or the original mortgagee, and its successors in interest, as
         mortgagee, and the Seller has received no notice that any premiums due
         and payable thereon have not been paid; the Mortgage obligates the
         Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance, including flood
         insurance, at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and upon the
         Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to
         obtain and maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense
         and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor, except as may be
         limited or restricted by applicable law;

                           (27) If the Mortgaged Property is in an area
         identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management
         Agency as having special flood hazards, a valid and binding flood
         insurance policy that is in full force and effect in a form meeting the
         requirements of the current guidelines of the Flood Insurance
         Administration is in effect with respect to such Mortgaged Property
         with a generally acceptable carrier in an amount representing coverage
         not less than the least of (A) the original outstanding principal
         balance of the Mortgage Loan, (B) the minimum amount required to
         compensate for damage or loss on a replacement cost basis or (C) the
         maximum amount of insurance that is available under the Flood Disaster
         Protection Act of 1973;

                           (28) There is no default, breach, violation or event
         of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage
         Note; and the Seller has not waived any default, breach, violation or
         event of acceleration;

                           (29) Each Mortgaged Property is improved by a one- to
         four-family residential dwelling, including condominium units and
         dwelling units in planned unit developments, which does not include (a)
         cooperatives or (b) mobile homes and manufactured homes (as defined in
         the Fannie Mae Seller-Servicer's Guide), except when the appraisal
         indicates that (i) the mobile or manufactured home was built under the
         Federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards of 1976 or
         (ii) otherwise assumes the characteristics of site-built housing and
         meets local building codes, is readily marketable, has been permanently
         affixed to the site, is not in a mobile home "park," and is treated as
         real property under the applicable state law. With respect to any

         under the lease have been paid; (c) the lessee is not in default under

         opportunity to cure any defaults under the lease;

                           (30) There is no obligation on the part of the Seller
         or any other party under the terms of the Mortgage or related Mortgage
         Note to make payments in lieu of or in addition to those made by the
         Mortgagor;

                           (31) Any future advances made prior to the Cut-off
         Date have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount
         secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as
         consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term
         reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. The consolidated principal
         amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage
         Loan;

                           (32) The Mortgage File contains an appraisal which
         was either (i) performed by an appraiser who satisfied, and which was

         sold or transferred without the prior written consent of the mortgagee
         thereunder, except as may be limited by applicable law;

                           (37) The information set forth in the Prepayment
         Charge Schedule attached as Schedule 2 to the Pooling and Servicing
         Agreement (including the prepayment charge summary attached thereto) is

                           (42) No Mortgage Loan that is secured by property
         located in the State of Georgia is either a "Covered Loan" or "High
         Cost Home Loan" within the meaning of the Georgia Fair Lending Act, as
         amended (the "Georgia Act");

                           (43) The Master Servicer for each Mortgage Loan prior
         to the Closing Date, 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 or their successors (the "Credit Repositories") on a monthly

         transaction are enforceable and originated in compliance with all

         or after August 1, 2004, neither the related Mortgage nor the related
         Mortgage Note requires the borrower to submit to arbitration to resolve
         any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Mortgage Loan
         transaction.

                  (b) The Seller hereby represents, warrants and covenants to
the Purchaser, with respect to the Group I Mortgage Loans as of the Closing Date
or as of such date specifically provided herein:

                           (1) Each Group I Mortgage Loan is in compliance with
         the anti-predatory lending eligibility for purchase requirements of
         Fannie Mae's Selling Guide;

                           (2) The methodology used in underwriting the
         extension of credit for each Group I Mortgage Loan employs objective
         mathematical principles which relate the Mortgagor's income, assets and
         liabilities to the proposed payment and such underwriting methodology
         does not rely on the extent of the Mortgagor's equity in the collateral
         as the principal determining factor in approving such credit extension.
         Such underwriting methodology confirmed that at the time of origination
         (application/approval) the Mortgagor had a reasonable ability to make
         timely payments on the Group I Mortgage Loan;

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

                           (4) All points and fees related to each Group I
         Mortgage Loan were disclosed in writing to the Mortgagor in accordance
         with applicable state and federal law and regulation. Except in the
         case of a Group I Mortgage Loan in an original principal amount of less
         than $60,000 which would have resulted in an unprofitable origination,
         no Mortgagor was charged "points and fees" (whether or not financed) in
         an amount greater than 5% of the principal amount of such loan and such
         5% limitation is calculated in accordance with Fannie Mae's
         anti-predatory lending requirements as set forth in the Fannie Mae
         Selling Guide;

                           (5) All fees and charges (including finance charges)
         and whether or not financed, assessed, collected or to be collected in
         connection with the origination and servicing of each Group I Mortgage
         Loan have been disclosed in writing to the Mortgagor in accordance with
         applicable state and federal law and regulation;

                           (6) No Group I Mortgage Loan Mortgagor was encouraged
         or required to select a mortgage loan product offered by the Originator
         which is a higher cost product designed for a less creditworthy
         Mortgagor, unless at the time of the Mortgage Loan's origination, such
         Mortgagor did not qualify taking into account credit history and debt
         to income ratios for a lower cost credit product then offered by the
         Originator;

                           (7) The Master Servicer will transmit full-file
         credit reporting data for each Group I Mortgage Loan pursuant to Fannie
         Mae Guide Announcement 95-19 and that for each Group I Mortgage Loan,
         the Master Servicer agrees it shall report one of the following
         statuses each month as follows: new origination, current, delinquent
         (30-, 60-, 90-days, etc.), foreclosed, or charged-off;

         has an original stated maturity of less than seven (7) years; and

                           (17) No Mortgagor was required to purchase any single
         premium credit insurance policy (e.g., life, mortgage, disability,
         accident, unemployment, or health insurance product) or debt
         cancellation agreement as a condition of obtaining the extension of
         credit. No Mortgagor obtained a prepaid single-premium credit insurance
         policy (e.g., life, mortgage, disability, accident, unemployment, or

         cancellation agreements as part of the origination of, or as a
         condition to closing, such Group I Mortgage Loan.

benefit of any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser, including the
Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

                  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 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 5 or
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 (it being understood that with respect to the representations and
warranties set forth in (39), (40), (41), (42), (43), (44), (46), (47) and (48)
of Section 6(a) herein, a breach of any such representation or warranty shall in
and of itself be deemed to materially adversely affect the interest therein of
the Purchaser and the Purchaser's assignee, transferee or designee), the party
discovering the breach shall give prompt written notice to the others. Within
ninety (90) days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such missing
documentation which was not transferred to the Purchaser as described above or
materially defective documentation or any such breach of a representation and
warranty (it being understood that with respect to the representations and
warranties set forth in (39), (40), (41), (42), (43), (44), (46), (47) and (48)
of Section 6(a) herein, a breach of any such representation or warranty shall in
and of itself be deemed to materially adversely affect the interest therein of
the Purchaser and the Purchaser's assignee, transferee or designee), the Seller
promptly shall deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in
all material respects, or in the event the Seller cannot deliver such missing
document or such defect or breach cannot be cured, the Seller shall, within
ninety (90) days of its discovery or receipt of notice, either (i) repurchase
the affected Mortgage Loan at a price equal to the Purchase Price 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. In the event that any Mortgage Loan is
subject to a breach of the representation and warranty in Section 6(a)(37) and
(39) resulting in the Master Servicer's inability to collect all or part of the
Prepayment Charge from the Mortgagor, in lieu of repurchase, the Seller shall be
obligated to remit to the Master Servicer (for deposit in the Collection
Account) any shortfall in the Prepayment Charge collected upon the Mortgagor's
voluntary Principal Prepayment.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, within ninety (90) days of the
earlier of discovery by the Seller or receipt of notice by the Seller of the
breach of the representation of the Seller set forth in Section 6(a)(37) and
(45) above, which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Holders
of the Class P Certificates in any Prepayment Charge, the Seller shall pay the
amount of the scheduled Prepayment Charge, for the benefit of the Holders of the
Class P Certificates, by depositing such amount into the Collection Account, net
of any amount previously collected by the Master Servicer and paid by the Master
Servicer, for the benefit of the Holders of the Class P Certificates, in respect
of such Prepayment Charge.

                  The Seller 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 and the addition, if any, of a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan. The Seller 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 deposit in the Collection Account of the amount of the Purchase
Price in accordance with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Any repurchase or substitution required by this Section shall be made in a
manner consistent with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

                  In addition, upon discovery by the Seller, the Purchaser, or
any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser that any Mortgage Loan
does not constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering the breach shall give prompt
written notice within five (5) Business Days to the others. Within ninety (90)
days of its discovery or its receipt of notice, the Seller promptly shall 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.

                  (b) It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the
Seller set forth in this Section 7 to cure, remit a Prepayment Charge shortfall,
repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan constitute the sole
remedies of the Purchaser against the Seller respecting a missing or defective
material document or a breach of the representations and warranties contained in
Section 5 or 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 AM 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 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
                           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)      (i) An Officers' Certificate of the Seller and Master
                           Servicer, dated the Closing Date, in form

                           required to be stated therein or necessary to make
                           the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
                           under which they were made, not misleading and (ii)

                  (c)      An Opinion of Counsel of the Seller and Master

                           statistical nature set forth in the Prospectus
                           Supplement, under the captions "Summary of Prospectus

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

                  SECTION 11. RESERVED.

                  SECTION 12. RESERVED.

                  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. The Seller agrees that, upon acceptance of
the Mortgage Loans by the Purchaser or its designee and delivery of payment to
the Seller, that its security interest in the Mortgage Loans shall be released.
All rights and remedies of the Purchaser under this Agreement are distinct from,
and cumulative with, any other rights or remedies under this Agreement or
afforded by law or equity and all such rights and remedies may be exercised
concurrently, independently or successively.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the Closing Date, each of the
conditions set forth in Section 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 redelivery of the Mortgage Loans, if delivery to
the Purchaser has occurred and the security interest created by this Section 13
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 telex or telegraph and confirmed by a similar mailed writing, if
to the Purchaser, addressed to the Purchaser at 1100 Town & Country Road, Suite
1100, Orange, California 92868, Facsimile: (714) 564-9639, Attention: General
Counsel, or such other address as may hereafter be furnished to the Seller in
writing by the Purchaser; if to the Seller, addressed to the Seller at 1100 Town
& Country Road, Suite 1100, Orange, California 92868, Facsimile: (714) 564-9639,
Attention: General Counsel, or to such other address as the Seller may designate
in writing to the Purchaser.

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

                  SECTION 16. AGREEMENT OF PARTIES. The Seller and the Purchaser
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. The Seller agrees that the
representations, warranties and agreements made by it herein and in any
certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant hereto shall be deemed to be
relied upon by the Purchaser, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or
hereafter made by the Purchaser or on its behalf, and that the representations,
warranties and agreements made by the Seller herein or in any such certificate
or other instrument shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Mortgage
Loans and shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding any
restrictive or qualified endorsement on the Mortgage Notes and notwithstanding
subsequent termination of this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or
the Trust Fund.

                  SECTION 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 (EXCLUDING 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. The
NIMS Insurer, if any, shall be a third party beneficiary hereof and may enforce
the terms hereof as if a party hereto.

                  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" 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. 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.

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

this certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions

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

                  2. The Owner (i) is and will be a "Permitted Transferee" as of
____________________, 2005 and (ii) is acquiring the Class R Certificates for
its own account or for the account of another Owner from which it has received
an affidavit in substantially the same form as this affidavit. A "Permitted
Transferee" is any person other than a "disqualified organization" or a
possession of the United States. For this purpose, a "disqualified organization"
means the United States, any state or political subdivision thereof, any agency
or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality all of
the activities of which are subject to tax and a majority of whose board of
directors is not selected by any such governmental entity) or any foreign
government, international organization or any agency or instrumentality of such
foreign government or organization, any rural electric or telephone cooperative,
or any organization (other than certain farmers' cooperatives) that is generally
exempt from federal income tax unless such organization is subject to the tax on
unrelated business taxable income.

                  3. 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, as amended, 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 Certificate Registrar will not
register the transfer of any Class R Certificate unless the transferee, or the
transferee's agent, delivers to the Certificate Registrar, 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 Certificate Registrar 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 or partnership (or other entity treated as a corporation or
partnership for federal income tax purposes) created or organized in, or under
the laws of, the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia
(except, in the case of a partnership or entity treated as a partnership, to the
extent provided in regulations), an estate the income of which is subject to
United States federal income taxation regardless of its source or a trust other
than a "foreign trust" described in section 7701(a)(31) of the Code.

                  1. I am a ____________________ of (the "Owner"), a corporation
duly organized and existing under the laws of ______________, on behalf of whom
I make this affidavit.

                  2. The Owner is not transferring the Class R (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.

                  4. The Owner understands that the Purchaser has delivered to
the Certificate Registrar a transfer affidavit and agreement in the form
attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit F-2. The Owner does
not know or believe that any representation contained therein is false.

                  5. 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.

                  6. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meanings ascribed to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

                                     PART 5.

                                OTHER PROVISIONS.

(a)  DEFINITIONS.

     This Agreement, including each Confirmation and each Swap Transaction, is
     subject to the 2000 ISDA Definitions, as amended, supplemented, updated,
     and superseded from time to time (the "Definitions"), as published by the
     International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA") and will be
     governed in all respects by the Definitions (except that references to
     "Swap Transactions" shall be deemed to be references to "Transactions").
     The Definitions are incorporated by reference in, and made part of, this
     Agreement and each Confirmation as if set forth in full in this Agreement
     and such Confirmations. In the event of any inconsistency between the
     provisions of this Agreement and the Definitions, this Agreement will
     prevail (and, in the event of any inconsistency between any Confirmation
     and the Definitions, the Confirmation will control). Any reference in a
     Confirmation to any Definitions which are amended or supplemented in this
     Schedule shall be deemed to be a reference to such Definitions as so
     amended or supplemented, unless the Confirmation states, by specific
     reference to any such amendment or supplement, that such amendment or
     supplement will not apply in respect of the Transaction to which such
     Confirmation relates. Any capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined
     in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them (or incorporated
     by reference) in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(b)  DOWNGRADE PROVISIONS.

     If a Ratings Event (as defined below) occurs with respect to Party A (or
     any applicable credit support provider), then Party A shall, subject to the
     Rating Agency Condition (as hereinafter defined) and the consent of the
     Note Insurer and the Backup Note Insurer (each as defined in the Ameriquest
     NIM Trust 2005-RN3 Indenture, dated as of April 27, 2005), at its own
     expense (unless, within 30 days of such Ratings Event, each of Standard and
     Poor's, a Division of McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. ("S&P"), Moody's
     Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") and Fitch Ratings ("Fitch") (each a
     "Rating Agency") has reconfirmed the rating of the Certificates and the
     Notes, without regard to the Note Policy or the Backup Note Policy, which
     was in effect immediately prior to such Ratings Event), (i) assign this
     Transaction hereunder to a third party within (30) days of such Ratings
     Event that meets or exceeds, or as to which any applicable credit support
     provider of such third party meets or exceeds, the Approved Ratings
     Thresholds (as defined below) on terms substantially similar to this
     Confirmation, which party is approved by the applicable Rating Agency and
     the Note Insurer and the Backup Note Insurer (ii) deliver collateral
     satisfactory to each Ratings Agency and the Note Insurer and the Backup
     Note Insurer within (30) days of such Ratings Event, in an amount equal to
     the Exposure (as defined below), pursuant to an ISDA Credit Support Annex
     (subject to New York Law) with a form of Paragraph 13 in the form annexed
     hereto (the "CSA"), (iii) obtain a guaranty of Party A's obligations under
     this Transaction from a third party that meets or exceeds the Approved
     Ratings Threshold, in form and substance acceptable to the applicable
     Rating Agency and the Note Insurer and the Backup Note Insurer or (iv)
     establish any other arrangement satisfactory to the applicable Rating
     Agency and the Note Insurer and the Backup Note Insurer which will be
     sufficient to restore the immediately prior ratings of the Certificates and
     the Notes, without regard to the Note Policy or the Backup Note Policy. For
     purposes of this Transaction, a "Ratings Event" shall occur with respect to
     Party A (or any applicable credit support provider), if its long-term
     unsecured and unsubordinated debt ceases to be rated at least "A" by S&P
     and at least "A2" by Moody's and at least A by Fitch (including in
     connection with a merger, consolidation or other similar transaction by
     Party A or any applicable credit support provider) such ratings being
     referred to herein as the "Approved Ratings Thresholds." "Rating Agency
     Condition" means, with respect to any particular proposed act or omission
     to act hereunder that the party acting or failing to act must consult with
     any of the Rating Agencies then providing a rating of the Certificates and
     the Notes and receive from the Rating Agencies a prior written confirmation
     that the proposed action or inaction would not cause a downgrade or
     withdrawal of the then-current rating of the Certificates and the Notes,
     without regard to the Note Policy or the Backup Note Policy.
     Only with respect to such Ratings Event, "Exposure" shall mean, if
     satisfactory to the Rating Agencies, the greater of the following: (i)
     Exposure (as such terms in defined in Paragraph 12 of the CSA); (ii) the
     amount of the next payment due under the Transaction and (iii) one percent
     of the Notional Amount for the then-current Calculation Period. For the
     avoidance of doubt, both parties agree that Party A shall only be required
     to post collateral pursuant to the terms of the CSA for the period (the
     "Collateral Requirement Period") during which Party A's Rating Event is
     continuing or until a replacement or guarantor, meeting the requirements
     set forth above, is in place. Once the Collateral Requirement Period has
     ended, Counterparty's Custodian shall return any such Eligible Collateral
     to Party A as soon as reasonably practicable and to the extent such
     Collateral has not already been applied in accordance with this Agreement,
     including the Credit Support Annex.

(c)  Section 3(a) of this Agreement is hereby amended to include the following
     additional representations after paragraph 3(a)(v):

     (vi) ELIGIBLE CONTRACT PARTICIPANT. It is an "eligible contract
     participant" as defined in section 1a(12) of the U.S. Commodity Exchange
     Act.

     (vii) INDIVIDUAL NEGOTIATION. This Agreement and each Transaction hereunder
     is subject to individual negotiation by the parties.

     (viii) RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARTY A AND PARTY B. Subject as provided in
     Part 5(g), each of Party A and Party B will be deemed to represent to the
     other on the date on which it enters into a Transaction or an amendment
     thereof that (absent a written agreement between Party A and Party B that
     expressly imposes affirmative obligations to the contrary for that
     Transaction):

         (1) PRINCIPAL. It is acting as principal and not as agent when entering
         into this Agreement and each Transaction.

         (2) NON-RELIANCE. It is acting for its own account and it has made its
         own independent decisions to enter into that Transaction and as to
         whether that Transaction is appropriate or proper for it based upon its
         own judgment and upon advice from such advisors as it has deemed
         necessary. It is not relying on any communication (written or oral) of
         the other party as investment advice or as a recommendation to enter
         into that Transaction; it being understood that information and
         explanations related to the terms and conditions of a Transaction shall
         not be considered investment advice or a recommendation to enter into
         that Transaction. No communication (written or oral) received from the

         amalgamation with, or merger with or into, or transfer of substantially
         all of its assets to, another entity, or an incorporation,
         reincorporation or reconstitution, and (ii) Party A may transfer or
         assign this Agreement to any Person, including, without limitation,
         another of Party A's offices, branches or affiliates (any such Person,
         office, branch or affiliate, a "Transferee") on at least five Business
         Days' prior written notice to Party B and the Trustee; PROVIDED that,
         with respect to clause (ii), (A) as of the date of such transfer the
         Transferee will not be required to withhold or deduct on account of a
         Tax from any payments under this Agreement unless the Transferee will
         be required to make payments of additional amounts pursuant to Section
         2(d)(i)(4) of this Agreement in respect of such Tax (B) a Termination
         Event or Event of Default does not occur under this Agreement as a

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such transfer shall be made unless
         the transferring party (i) obtains a written acknowledgment from each
         of the Rating Agencies that, notwithstanding such transfer, the

         Except as specified otherwise in the documentation evidencing a
         transfer or assignment, a transfer or assignment of all the obligations
         of Party A made in compliance with this Section 7 will constitute an
         acceptance and assumption of such obligations (and any related
         interests so transferred) by the Transferee, a novation of the
         transferee in place of Party A with respect to such obligations (and

     and Servicing Agreement as a third party beneficiary, Party A shall not

"Transaction") that are or will be governed by this Master Agreement, which
includes the schedule (the "Schedule"), and the documents and other confirming
evidence (each a "Confirmation") exchanged between the parties confirming those

Accordingly, the parties agree as follows: -

1. INTERPRETATION

(a) DEFINITIONS. The terms defined in Section 14 and in the Schedule will have
the meanings therein specified for the purpose of this Master Agreement.

(b) INCONSISTENCY. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of
the Schedule and the other provisions of this Master Agreement, the Schedule
will prevail. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of any
Confirmation and this Master Agreement (including the Schedule), such
Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the relevant Transaction.

(c) SINGLE AGREEMENT. All Transactions are entered into in reliance on the fact
that this Master Agreement and all Confirmations form a single agreement between
the parties (collectively referred to as this "Agreement'), and the parties
would not otherwise enter into any Transactions.

2. OBLIGATIONS

(a) GENERAL CONDITIONS.

         (i) Each party will make each payment or delivery specified in each
         Confirmation to be made by it, subject to the other provisions of this
         Agreement.

         (ii) Payments under this Agreement will be made on the due date for
         value on that date in the place of the account specified in the
         relevant Confirmation or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, in
         freely transferable funds and in the manner customary for payments in
         the required currency. Where settlement is by delivery (that is, other
         than by payment), such delivery will be made for receipt on the due
         date in the manner customary for the relevant obligation unless
         otherwise specified in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this
         Agreement.

         (iii) Each obligation of each party under Section 2(a)(i) is subject to
         (1) the condition precedent that no Event of Default or Potential Event
         of Default with respect to the other party has occurred and is
         continuing, (2) the condition precedent that no Early Termination Date
         in respect of the relevant Transaction has occurred or been effectively

         in this Agreement.

originally scheduled date for delivery, in each case together with (to the
extent permitted under applicable law) interest, in the currency of such
amounts, from (and including) the date such amounts or obligations were or would
have been required to have been paid or performed to (but excluding) such Early
Termination Date, at the Applicable Rate. Such amounts of interest will be
calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days
elapsed. The fair market value of any obligation referred to in clause (b) above
shall be reasonably determined by the party obliged to make the determination
under Section 6(e) or, if each party is so obliged, it shall be the average of
the Termination Currency Equivalents of the fair market values reasonably
determined by both parties.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF the parties have executed this document on the respective
dates specified below with effect from the date specified on the first page of
this document.

</TABLE>

         Workouts in the form of either a Forbearance or Loan Modification
require that the Borrower document the existence of a financial hardship leading
to the payment delinquency and document the ability to make the payments
required under the proposed Forbearance or Loan Modification. If the Borrower
fails to meet both of these conditions or the Borrower is uncooperative, a
Disposal Loss Mitigation Action will be employed to liquidate the delinquent
loan, assuming the Borrower does not otherwise cure the existing default. Each
of the Default Mitigation Actions and Supporting Standards may not be applicable
to each and every loan subject to a default in its monthly payments and in those
cases where a Default Mitigation Action or Supporting Standard may be
applicable, each is subject to amendment and/or waiver on an individual basis
pursuant to applicable federal, state and local laws, decisional authorities,
court orders, instructions of regulatory and/or other governmental authorities,
the advice of legal counsel, instructions from the Trustee and changes in the
loan servicing standards.

(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;

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 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.

            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.

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

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:

(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). 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 I Regular Interest be reduced more than once in respect of any particular amount both (a) allocated to such REMIC I Regular Interest in respect of Realized Losses pursuant to Section 4.04 and (b) distributed on such REMIC I Regular Interest in reduction of the Uncertificated Balance thereof pursuant to this Section 4.01.

            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 Form 10-K shall include the Servicer Certification and other documentation provided by the Servicer pursuant to the second preceding sentence. 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 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.

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 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.

(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.

 

 

ARTICLE IX

 

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. 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.

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
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.

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.

            Article and Section References.

            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.

 

	
            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).

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.

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.

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 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 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-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.

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 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 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 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.
