(ii)         the original Mortgage (noting the presence of the MIN of the Mortgage Loan and language indicating that the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan if the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan), 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 or, if such Mortgage or power of attorney has been submitted for recording but has not been returned from the applicable public recording office, has been lost or is not otherwise available, a copy of such Mortgage or power of attorney, as the case may be, certified to be a true and complete copy of the original submitted for recording;

(iii)        unless the Mortgage Loan is registered on the MERS® System, an original Assignment, in form and substance acceptable for recording. The Mortgage shall be assigned either (A) in blank or (B) to “Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee, without recourse”

(iv)        an original of any intervening assignment of Mortgage showing a complete chain of assignments (or to MERS if the Mortgage Loan is registered on the MERS® System and noting the presence of MIN);

	
            (v)
 	
            the original or a certified copy of lender’s title insurance policy; and
 

(vi)        the original or copies of each assumption, modification, written assurance or substitution agreement, if any.

The Depositor herewith also delivers to the Trustee an executed copy of each Assignment Agreement and each Master Agreement.

If any of the documents referred to in Section 2.01(ii), (iii) or (iv) above has as of the Closing Date (or Subsequent Transfer Date, with respect to Subsequent Mortgage Loans) 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 the Custodian no later than the Closing Date (or Subsequent Transfer Date, with respect to Subsequent Mortgage Loans), of a copy of each such document certified by the related 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 related Originator, delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian, 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, or a certified copy thereof, was not delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(v) above, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian, the original or a copy of a written commitment or interim binder or preliminary report of title issued by the title insurance or escrow company, with the original or a certified copy thereof to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian, promptly upon receipt thereof. The Servicer or the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian promptly upon receipt thereof any other 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.

Upon discovery or receipt of notice of any materially defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File, the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall notify the related Servicer and such Servicer shall enforce the obligations of the related Originator under the related Master Agreement to cure such defect or deliver such missing document to the Trustee or the Custodian within 90 days.  If such Originator does not cure such defect or deliver such missing document within such time period, the related Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to enforce the obligations of such Originator to either repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 2.03; provided, however, that the related Servicer shall not be under any obligation to take any action pursuant to this paragraph unless directed by the Depositor
and provided, further, the Depositor hereby agrees to assist the related Servicer in enforcing any obligations of any Originator to repurchase or substitute for a Mortgage Loan which has breached a representation or warranty under the related Assignment Agreement.  In connection with the foregoing, it is understood that the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall have no duty to discover any such defects except in the course of performing its review of the Mortgage Files to the extent set forth herein.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Servicer and the Originator are the same entity, the Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the related Originator under the related Master Agreement pursuant to the terms of this paragraph. 

Except with respect to any Mortgage Loan for which MERS is identified on the Mortgage, the Trustee shall enforce the obligations of each Originator under the related Master Agreement to cause the Assignments which were delivered in blank to be completed and to record all Assignments referred to in Section 2.01(iii) hereof and, to the extent necessary, in Section 2.01(iv) hereof. The Trustee shall enforce the obligations of each Originator under the related Master Agreement to deliver such assignments for recording within 180 days of the Closing Date.  In the event that any such Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Trustee shall enforce the obligations of each Originator under the related Master Agreement to promptly have a substitute Assignment prepared or have such defect cured, as the case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly recorded.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 and the Depositor receive 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, each Assignment, except with respect to any Mortgage Loan for which MERS is identified on the Mortgage, shall be submitted for recording in the manner described above, at no expense to the Trust Fund or Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of:  (i) reasonable direction by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights, (ii) the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination (in which case the Assignments for the
Mortgage Loans serviced by the related Servicer shall be recorded), (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Seller, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in 

 

Section 7.02 hereof (in which case the Assignments for the Mortgage Loans serviced by the related Servicer shall be recorded), (v) upon receipt of notice from the related Servicer, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage and (vi) upon receipt of notice from the related Servicer, any Mortgage Loan that is 90 days or more Delinquent.  In the event of (i) through (vi) set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the related Originator to deliver such Assignments for recording as provided above, promptly and in any event within 30 days following receipt of notice by the Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the related Originator fails to pay the cost of recording the Assignments, such expense will be paid by the Trustee and the Trustee shall be reimbursed for such expenses by the Trust.  

Each Servicer shall forward to the Custodian original documents evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan entered into in accordance with this Agreement within two weeks of their execution; provided, however, that the Servicer shall provide the Custodian with a certified true copy of any such document submitted for recordation within two weeks of its execution, and shall provide the original of any document submitted for recordation or a copy of such document certified by the appropriate public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original within 365 days of its submission for recordation. In the event that the related Servicer cannot provide a copy of such document certified by the public recording office within such 365 day period, such Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian, within such 365 day period, an Officers’
Certificate of the Servicer which shall (A) identify the recorded document, (B) state that the recorded document has not been delivered to the Custodian due solely to a delay caused by the public recording office, (C) state the amount of time generally required by the applicable recording office to record and return a document submitted for recordation, if known and (D) specify the date the applicable recorded document is expected to be delivered to the Custodian, and, upon receipt of a copy of such document certified by the public recording office, the Servicer shall immediately deliver such document to the Custodian. In the event the appropriate public recording office will not certify as to the accuracy of such document, the related Servicer shall deliver a copy of such document certified by an officer of such Servicer to be a true and complete copy of the original to the Custodian.

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.

	
            SECTION 2.02
 	
            Acceptance by Trustee.
 

Subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to the review described below and any exceptions noted on the exception report described in the next paragraph below, the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) acknowledges receipt of the documents referred to in Section 2.01 above and all other assets included in the definition of “Trust Fund” 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 “Trust Fund” in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.

The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver to the Depositor and the Servicers on or prior to the Closing Date an acknowledgment of receipt of the related original Mortgage Note for each Initial Mortgage Loan (with any exceptions noted), substantially in the form attached as Exhibit F-3 hereto.

The Trustee agrees and the Custodian shall agree (pursuant to the Custodial Agreement), for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to review, or that it has reviewed pursuant to Section 2.01 each Mortgage File on or prior to the Closing Date, with respect to each Initial Mortgage Loan (or, with respect to any document delivered after the Startup Day, within 45 days of receipt and with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, within 45 days after the assignment thereof).  The Trustee further agrees and the Custodian shall agree (pursuant to the Custodial Agreement), for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to certify to the Depositor and the related Servicer in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1, within 45 days after the Closing Date, with respect to each Initial Mortgage Loan, or on or prior to the Subsequent Transfer Date, with respect to each Subsequent
Mortgage Loan (or, with respect to any document delivered after the Startup Day, within 45 days of receipt and with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage, within 45 days after the assignment thereof) that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the respective Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception report annexed thereto as not being covered by such certification), (i) all documents required to be delivered to it pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement are in its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and have not been mutilated, damaged or torn and appear on their face to relate to such Mortgage Loan and (iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items (1) and (3) of the Mortgage Loan Schedule accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File. It is herein acknowledged
that, in conducting such review, the Trustee (or the Custodian, as applicable) is under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that they are genuine, legally enforceable, valid or binding or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.

Prior to the first anniversary date of this Agreement the Trustee shall deliver and the Custodian shall deliver (pursuant to the Custodial Agreement) to the Depositor and the related Servicer a final certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F-2, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.

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 the Custodian, as applicable) finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or not to conform with respect to any characteristics which are within the scope of the Trustee’s (or the Custodian’s, as applicable) review as provided herein, at the conclusion of its review, the Trustee shall so notify the Seller, the Depositor, the related Originator and the related Servicer. In 

 

addition, upon the discovery by the Depositor or the Servicer (or upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such breach) of a breach of any of the representations and warranties made by an Originator in the related Master Agreement or the Seller in the related Assignment 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 to this Agreement.

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 an Originator or the Seller.
 

(a)        Upon discovery or receipt of written notice of any materially defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of the breach by an Originator or the Seller, as applicable, of any representation, warranty or covenant under a Master Agreement or an Assignment Agreement, as applicable, 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 related Servicer of such defect, missing document or breach and such Servicer shall request that the related Originator deliver such missing document or that the related Originator cure such defect or breach within 90 days from the date such Originator was notified of such missing document, defect or breach, and if such Originator does not deliver
such missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects during such period, the Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to enforce such Originator’s obligation under the related Master Agreement or the Seller’s obligation under the related Assignment Agreement and notify the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, of its obligation to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price on or prior to the Determination Date following the expiration of such 90 day period (subject to Section 2.03(e)); provided, however, that such Servicer shall not be under any obligation to take any action pursuant to this paragraph unless directed by the Depositor and provided, further, the Depositor hereby agrees to assist such Servicer in enforcing any obligations of any Originator to repurchase or substitute for a Mortgage Loan which has breached a representation or warranty under the related Assignment Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Servicer and the Originator are the same entity, the Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the related Originator under the related Master Agreement pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.03(a).  The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be remitted to the related Servicer for deposit in the related Collection Account, and the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf 

 

of the Trustee), upon receipt of written certification from the Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the related Originator or Seller, as applicable, any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File (it being understood that neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall have any responsibility for determining the sufficiency of such assignment for its intended purpose). In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, an Originator or the Seller, as applicable, may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from the
Trust Fund (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(d); provided, however, the Seller may not substitute for any Mortgage Loan which breaches a representation or warranty regarding abusive or predatory lending laws. In furtherance of the foregoing, if an Originator or the Seller, as applicable, is not a member of MERS and repurchases a Mortgage Loan which is registered on the MERS® System, such Originator or the Seller, as applicable, at its own expense and without any right of reimbursement, shall cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to such Originator or the Seller, as applicable, and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS® System in accordance with MERS’ rules and regulations.  It is understood and agreed that
the obligation of an Originator or the Seller, as applicable, to cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against any Originator or the Seller, as applicable, respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.

(b)        Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Depositor or receipt of notice by the Depositor of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Depositor set forth in Section 2.06, which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the Depositor shall cure such breach in all material respects.

(c)        Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by either Servicer or receipt of notice by either Servicer of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of such Servicer set forth in Section 2.05 which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall cure such breach in all material respects.

(d)        Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) must be effected prior to the last Business Day that is within two years after the Closing Date. As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which an Originator or the Seller, as applicable, substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by such Originator or the Seller, as applicable, delivering to the Trustee, for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents and agreements, with all necessary 

 

endorsements thereon, as are required by Section 2.01, together with an Officers’ Certificate providing that each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Adjustment (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 45 days thereafter, shall review such documents as specified in Section 2.02 and the Trustee shall deliver and the Custodian shall deliver (pursuant to the Custodial Agreement) to the related Servicer, with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Within one year of the date of substitution, the Trustee shall deliver to the related Servicer a certification substantially
in the form of Exhibit F-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 the Trust Fund and will be retained by the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the collections and recoveries in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan in the Due Period preceding the month of substitution and the related Originator 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 Trustee, who shall forward such 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 by an Originator or the Seller, as applicable, 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 related Assignment Agreement, including all applicable representations and warranties thereof included in such Assignment Agreement as of the date of substitution.

For any month in which an Originator or the Seller, as applicable, substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Servicer will determine the amount (the “Substitution Adjustment”), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate, as to each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, of 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 Mortgage Rate. On the date of such substitution, the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, will deliver or cause to be delivered to the related Servicer for deposit in its Collection Account an amount equal to the Substitution Adjustment, if any, and the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of 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 related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, the related Mortgage File or Files and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as such Originator 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 related Originator 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 the Trust Fund, including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on “prohibited transactions” under Section 860F(a)(I) of the Code or on “contributions after the startup date” under Section 860G(d)(I) of the Code or (b) any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding. If such Opinion of Counsel can not be delivered, then such substitution may only be effected at such time as the required Opinion of Counsel can be given.

(e)        Upon discovery by the Depositor, either 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 hereto. In connection therewith, the related Originator or the Depositor, as the case may be, shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d), 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 (i) by the related Originator 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 such Originator under the related Assignment Agreement or (ii) the Depositor, if the affected Mortgage Loan’s status as a non-qualified mortgage is a breach of any representation or warranty of the Depositor set forth in Section 2.06, or if its 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) or 2.03(d), if made by an Originator, or Section 2.03(b), if made by the Depositor. The Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall reconvey to the Depositor or the related Originator, 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.

(f)         Upon discovery or receipt of written notice of a breach by the Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Seller under the Assignment Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, and if either (i) such Mortgage Loan is not in breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the related Originator or (ii) the related Originator has failed to remedy such representation, warranty or covenant with respect to such Mortgage Loan, then the Trustee shall promptly notify the Servicer of such breach and the Servicer shall request that the Seller remedy such breach by the Seller, to the extent provided in the Assignment Agreement, in the manner and within the time periods set forth in the Assignment Agreement.

 

 

	
            SECTION 2.04

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

The foregoing 

 

shall not, however, limit any remedies available to the Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the Master Agreements respecting a breach of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Originators.

	
            SECTION 2.06
 	
            Representations and Warranties of the Depositor.
 

The Depositor represents and warrants to the Trust, the Servicers and the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders as follows:

(i)         This agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Depositor, enforceable against the Depositor in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity);

(ii)          Immediately prior to the sale and assignment by the Depositor to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust of each Mortgage Loan, the Depositor had good and marketable title to each Mortgage Loan (insofar as such title was conveyed to it by the Seller) subject to no prior lien, claim, participation interest, mortgage, security interest, pledge, charge or other encumbrance or other interest of any nature;

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 Sections 2.01 and 2.02, together with the assignment to it of all other assets included in the Trust Fund, 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 Certificates in authorized denominations.

(a)        Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b) below in consideration of the Trustee’s delivery on the Subsequent Transfer Dates to or upon the order of the Depositor 

 

of all or a portion of the balance of funds in the Pre-Funding Account, the Depositor shall on any Subsequent Transfer Date sell, transfer, assign, set over and convey without recourse to the Trust Fund but subject to the other terms and provisions of this Agreement all of the right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to (i) the Subsequent Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached to the related Subsequent Transfer Instrument delivered by the Depositor on such Subsequent Transfer Date, (ii) all interest accruing thereon on and after the Subsequent Cut-off Date and all collections in respect of interest and principal due after the Subsequent Cut-off Date and (iii) all items with respect to such Subsequent Mortgage Loans to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.01 and the other items in the related Mortgage Files; provided, however, that the Depositor reserves and retains all
right, title and interest in and to principal received and interest accruing on the Subsequent Mortgage Loans prior to the related Subsequent Cut-off Date.  The transfer to the Trustee for deposit in the Mortgage Pool by the Depositor of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule shall be absolute and is intended by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificateholders to constitute and to be treated as a sale of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trust Fund.  The related Mortgage File for each Subsequent Mortgage Loan shall be delivered to the Trustee at least three Business Days prior to the related Subsequent Transfer Date.

The purchase price paid by the Trustee from amounts released from the Pre-Funding Account shall be one-hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans so transferred (as identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule provided by the Depositor).  This Agreement shall constitute a fixed-price purchase contract in accordance with Section 860G(a)(3)(A)(ii) of the Code.

(b)        The Depositor shall transfer to the Trustee for deposit in the Mortgage Pool the Subsequent Mortgage Loans and the other property and rights related thereto as described in paragraph (a) above, and the Trustee shall release funds from the Pre-Funding Account only upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions on or prior to the related Subsequent Transfer Date:

(1)        the Depositor shall have provided the Trustee and the Rating Agencies with a timely Addition Notice and shall have provided any information reasonably requested by the Trustee with respect to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans;

(2)        the Depositor shall have delivered to the Trustee a duly executed Subsequent Transfer Instrument, which shall include a Mortgage Loan Schedule listing the Subsequent Mortgage Loans, and the Seller shall have delivered a computer file acceptable to the Trustee containing such Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee at least three Business Days prior to the related Subsequent Transfer Date;

(3)        as of each Subsequent Transfer Date, as evidenced by delivery of the Subsequent Transfer Instrument, substantially in the form of Exhibit R, the Depositor shall not be insolvent nor shall it have been rendered insolvent by such transfer nor shall it be aware of any pending insolvency;

 

 

(4)        such sale and transfer shall not result in a material adverse tax consequence to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders;

	
            (5)
 	
            the Funding Period shall not have terminated;
 

(6)        the Depositor shall not have selected the Subsequent Mortgage Loans in a manner that it believed to be adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders;

(7)        the Depositor shall have delivered to the Trustee a Subsequent Transfer Instrument confirming the satisfaction of the conditions precedent specified in this Section 2.08 and, pursuant to the Subsequent Transfer Instrument, assigned to the Trustee without recourse for the benefit of the Certificateholders all the right, title and interest of the Depositor, in, to and under the subsequent Assignment Agreement, to the extent of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans; and

(8)        the Depositor shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies with respect to the transfer of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans substantially in the form of the Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee on the Closing Date regarding the true sale of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans.

(c)        The obligation of the Trust Fund to purchase a Subsequent Mortgage Loan on any Subsequent Transfer Date is subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph and the accuracy of the following representations and warranties with respect to each such Subsequent Mortgage Loan determined as of the applicable Subsequent Cut-off Date:  (i) such Subsequent Mortgage Loan may not be 30 or more days delinquent as of the last day of the month preceding the Subsequent Cut-off Date; (ii) the original term to stated maturity of such Subsequent Mortgage Loan will not be less than 120 months and will not exceed 360 months; (iii) the Subsequent Mortgage Loan may not provide for negative amortization; (iv) such Subsequent Mortgage Loan will not have a loan-to-value ratio greater than 100.00%; (v) such Subsequent
Mortgage Loans will have, as of the Subsequent Cut-off Date, a weighted average term since origination not in excess of 4 months; (vi) such Subsequent Mortgage Loan, if a Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan, shall have a Mortgage Rate that is not less than 4.750% per annum or greater than 13.500% per annum; (vii) such Subsequent Mortgage Loan must have a first payment date occurring on or before August 2005 and will include 30 days’ interest thereon; (viii) if the Subsequent Mortgage Loan is an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Loan, the Subsequent Mortgage Loan will have a Gross Margin not less than 2.250% per annum; (ix) if the Subsequent Mortgage Loan is an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Loan, the Subsequent Mortgage Loan will have a Maximum Mortgage Rate not less than 10.000% per annum; (x) if the Subsequent Mortgage Loan is an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Loan, the Subsequent Mortgage Loan will have a Minimum Mortgage Rate not less than 4.000% per annum and (xi) such Subsequent Mortgage Loan shall have
been underwritten in accordance with the criteria set forth under “The Originators” in the Prospectus Supplement.

(d)        Following the purchase of any Subsequent Mortgage Loan by the Trust, the Mortgage Loans (including such Subsequent Mortgage Loans) will: (i) have a weighted 

 

average original term to stated maturity of not more than 355 months; (ii) have a weighted average Mortgage Rate of not less than 7.250% per annum and not more than 7.750% per annum; (iii) have a weighted average Loan-to-Value Ratio of not more than 100.00%; (iv) have no Mortgage Loan with a Stated Principal Balance at origination in excess of $750,000; (v) will consist of Mortgage Loans with Prepayment Charges representing no less than approximately 60% by aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans; (vi) have a weighted average FICO score of not less than 610, (vii) have no more than 20% of Fixed-Rate Mortgage Loans by aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and (viii) the Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Loans will have a weighted average Gross Margin not less than 6.000% per annum.  In addition, no less than 53% of the Mortgage Loans will have been originated by Centex Home Equity
Company, LLC, no less than 26% of the Mortgage Loans will have been originated by Meritage Mortgage Corporation and no less than 16% of the Mortgage Loans will have been originated by NovaStar Mortgage, Inc.  For purposes of the calculations described in this paragraph, percentages of the Mortgage Loans will be based on the Stated Principal Balance of the Initial Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date and the Stated Principal Balance of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans as of the related Subsequent Cut-off Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Subsequent Mortgage Loan may be rejected by any Rating Agency if the inclusion of any such Subsequent Mortgage Loan would adversely affect the ratings of any Class of Certificates.  At least one Business Day prior to the Subsequent Transfer Date, each Rating Agency shall notify the Trustee as to which Subsequent Mortgage Loans, if any, shall not be included in the transfer on the Subsequent Transfer Date; provided, however, that the Seller shall have delivered to each Rating Agency at least three Business Days prior to such Subsequent Transfer Date a computer file acceptable to each Rating Agency describing the characteristics specified in paragraphs (c) and (d) above..

ARTICLE III

 

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING

OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS

	
            SECTION 3.01
 	
            Servicer to Act as Servicer.
 

Unless otherwise specified, all references to actions to be taken by “the Servicer” under this Article III or any other provision of this Agreement with respect to a Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans or with respect to an REO Property or REO Properties shall be to actions to be taken or previously taken by the related Servicer with respect to a Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans serviced thereby or with respect to an REO Property or REO Properties administered thereby.  Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, all references to actions to be taken or previously taken by “the Servicer” under this Article III or any other provision of this Agreement with respect to “the Collection Account” or “the Escrow Account” shall be to actions to be taken or previously taken by each Servicer with respect to the Collection Account or the Escrow Account to be
established and maintained thereby.  Consistent with the foregoing, but only insofar as the context so permits, this Article III is to be read with respect to each Servicer as if such Servicer alone was servicing and administering its respective Mortgage Loans hereunder.

The Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Trust 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 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 (the “Servicing Standard”).

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 relates to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan, (iii) the collection of such Prepayment Charge would be in violation of applicable laws or (iv) the Servicer has not received information and documentation sufficient to confirm the existence or amount of such Prepayment Charge.  If a Prepayment Charge is waived as permitted by meeting the standard described in clauses (iii) or (iv) above, then the Servicer shall make commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to enforce the obligations of the related Originator under the related Master Agreement to pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge, for the benefit of the Holders of the Class P Certificates; provided, however, that the
Servicer shall not be under any obligation to take any action pursuant to this paragraph unless directed by the Depositor and provided, further, the Depositor hereby agrees to assist the Servicer in enforcing any obligations of any Originator to repurchase or substitute for a Mortgage Loan which has breached a representation or warranty under the related Assignment Agreement.  If the Servicer makes a good faith determination as evidenced by an officer’s certificate delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee, that the Servicer’s efforts are not reasonably expected to be successful in enforcing such rights, it shall notify the Trustee of such failure and the Trustee, with the cooperation of the Servicer, shall enforce the obligation of the related Originator under the related Master Agreement to pay to the Servicer the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge.  If such Originator fails to pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge in accordance with its obligations under the
related Master Agreement, the Trustee, the Servicer and the Depositor shall consult on further actions to be taken against such Originator.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Servicer and the Originator are the same entity, the Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the related Originator under the related Master Agreement pursuant to the terms of this paragraph.

Subject only to the above-described servicing standards and the terms of this Agreement and of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through Sub-Servicers as provided in Section 3.02, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer, in its own name or in the name of a Sub-Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee when the Servicer believes it appropriate in its best judgment in accordance with the Servicing Standard, 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, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the
Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the ownership of such properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such properties, on behalf of the Trustee and Certificateholders.  The Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable state and federal law and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be provided to them thereby.  The Servicer shall also comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any standard hazard insurance policy.  Subject to Section 3.17, within five (5) days of the Closing Date, the Trustee shall execute 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; provided, such limited powers of attorney or other documents shall be prepared by the Servicer and submitted to the Trustee for execution.  The Trustee shall not be liable for the actions by the Servicer or any Sub-Servicers under such powers of attorney.

The Servicer further is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name or in the name of the Sub-Servicer, when the Servicer or the Sub-Servicer, as the case may be, believes it is appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Trustee and its successors and assigns. Any reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the actions described in the preceding sentence or as a result of MERS discontinuing or becoming unable to continue
operations in connection with the MERS® System, shall be reimbursable to the Servicer by withdrawal from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.11.

Subject to Section 3.09 hereof, in accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the Servicer, on escrowed accounts, shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be 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 payment of taxes and assessments on a Mortgaged Property shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer may not make any future advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan (except as provided in Section 4.04) and the Servicer shall not (i) permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Rate, reduce or increase the Stated Principal Balance (except for reductions resulting from actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan (unless, in any such case, 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 REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions after the startup date” under the REMIC Provisions.

The Servicer shall also undertake to defend, with respect to a claim against the Trustee or the Trust, any claims against the Trust, the Trustee or itself by a Mortgagor which relate to or affect the servicing of any Mortgage Loan.  This shall not be construed as an assumption of liability in such matters.  The Trustee shall notify the Servicer of any such claim 

 

as soon as practicable after receiving notice of such claim.  The Servicer shall not be liable for any delay in responding to any claim of which it has not received timely notice.  The Trustee shall cooperate with the Servicer in all aspects of the defense of such claims, including the timely delivery of all relevant litigation files and other related information.  In the event the Servicer acts on behalf of the Trustee, the Trust or itself in any such litigation, the Trust shall pay all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, court costs, settlements and judgments) associated with the defense and management of such claim; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be indemnified for any such cost or expense relating to claims against the Servicer and incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder.

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

(a)          The Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with Sub-Servicers, which may be Affiliates of the Servicer, for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans; provided, however, such sub-servicing arrangement and the terms of the related Sub-Servicing Agreement must provide for the servicing of the Mortgage Loans in a manner consistent with the servicing arrangement contemplated hereunder.  The Trustee is hereby authorized to acknowledge, at the request of the Servicer, any Sub-Servicing Agreement.  No such acknowledgment shall be deemed to imply that the Trustee has consented to any such Sub-Servicing Agreement, has passed upon whether such Sub-Servicing Agreement meets the requirements applicable to Sub-Servicing Agreements set forth in this Agreement or has passed upon whether such Sub-Servicing Agreement
is otherwise permitted under this Agreement.  The Servicer may, in connection with its duties as Servicer hereunder, enter into transactions with any of its Affiliates relating to the Mortgage Loans; provided, that (i) such transaction is in the ordinary course of business of the Servicer, and (ii) the terms of such transaction are no less favorable to the Servicer than it would obtain in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a person that is not an Affiliate of the Servicer.

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. Any variation in any Sub-Servicing Agreements from the provisions set forth in Section 3.08
relating to insurance or priority requirements of Sub-Servicing Accounts, or credits and charges to the Sub-Servicing Accounts or the timing and amount of remittances by the Sub-Servicers to the Servicer, are conclusively deemed to be inconsistent with this Agreement and therefore prohibited. The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and 

 

any amendments or modifications thereof, promptly upon the Servicer’s execution and delivery of such instruments.

(b)        As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, including, without limitation, any obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments as required by a Sub-Servicing Agreement.  Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements, and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general
recovery resulting from such enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed.

	
            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 Servicer or the Trustee (if the Trustee is acting as Servicer) without fee, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in the event that the Servicer (or the Trustee, if such party is then acting as Servicer) shall, for any reason, no longer be the Servicer (including termination due to a Servicer Event of Termination).

	
            SECTION 3.04
 	
            Liability of the Servicer.
 

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

 

 

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

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

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

In the event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the servicer (including by reason of the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination), the Trustee, in addition to its duties under Section 7.02, shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under each Sub-Servicing Agreement that the Servicer may have entered into, unless the Trustee elects to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with its terms as provided in Section 3.03. Upon such assumption, the Trustee (or the successor servicer appointed pursuant to Section 7.02) shall be deemed, subject to Section 3.03, to have assumed all of the departing Servicer’s interest therein and to have replaced the departing Servicer as a party to each Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if each Sub-Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party, except that (i) the departing
Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement that arose before it ceased to be the Servicer and (ii) neither the Trustee nor any successor Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed any liability or obligation of the Servicer that arose before it ceased to be the Servicer.

The Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the Trustee, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by or on behalf of it, and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing Agreements to the assuming party.  All Servicing Transfer Costs shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs, and if such predecessor Servicer is the Trustee or it 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).

	
            SECTION 3.07
 	
            Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.
 

The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans and the provisions of any applicable insurance policies provided to the Servicer.  Consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or, if applicable, any penalty interest, or any provisions of any Mortgage Loan requiring 

 

the related Mortgagor to submit to mandatory arbitration with respect to disputes arising thereunder 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 4.04 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, 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”).  The Servicer’s analysis supporting any forbearance and the conclusion that any forbearance meets the standards of Section 3.01 shall be reflected in writing in the Mortgage File.

	
            SECTION 3.08
 	
            Sub-Servicing Accounts.
 

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

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

To the extent required by the related Mortgage Note, the Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more accounts (the “Escrow Accounts”), into which all Escrow Payments shall be deposited and retained.  Escrow 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, all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans and shall deposit in the Escrow 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 an Escrow Account may be made only to (i) effect payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, and comparable items in a manner and at a time that assures that the lien priority of the Mortgage is not jeopardized (or, with respect to the payment of taxes, in a manner and at a time that avoids the loss of
the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure as a result of a tax lien); (ii) reimburse the Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer to the extent provided in the related Sub-Servicing Agreement) out of related collections for any Servicing Advances made pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to taxes and assessments) and Section 3.14 (with respect to hazard insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and as described below, to Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account; or (v) clear and terminate the Escrow Account at the termination of the Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities in respect of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement in accordance with Article X. In the event the 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. The Servicer
will be responsible for the administration of the Escrow Accounts and will be obligated to make Servicing Advances to such accounts when and as necessary to avoid the lapse of insurance coverage on the Mortgaged Property, or which the Servicer knows, or in the exercise of the required standard of care of the Servicer hereunder should know, is necessary to avoid the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure as a result of a tax lien. If any such payment has not been made and the Servicer receives notice of a tax lien with respect to the Mortgage being imposed, the Servicer will, within 10 Business Days of receipt of such notice, advance or cause to be advanced funds necessary to discharge such lien on the Mortgaged Property. As part of its servicing duties, the Servicer or any Sub-Servicers shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in the Escrow Accounts, to the extent required by law and, to the extent that interest earned on funds in the Escrow Accounts
is insufficient, to pay such interest from its or their own funds, without any reimbursement therefor. The Servicer may pay to itself any excess interest on funds in the Escrow Accounts, to the extent such action is in conformity with the Servicing Standard, is permitted by law and such amounts are not required to be paid to Mortgagors or used for any of the other purposes set forth above.

	
            SECTION 3.10
 	
            Collection Account and Distribution Account.
 

(a)        On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more accounts (such account or accounts, the “Collection Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the Servicer’s receipt thereof, as and when received or as otherwise required hereunder, the following payments and collections received or made by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal or 

 

interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date) or payments (other than Principal Prepayments) received by it on or prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a Due Period subsequent thereto:

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

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

(iii)        all Insurance Proceeds, Net Liquidation Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and condemnation proceeds (other than proceeds collected in respect of any particular REO Property and amounts paid in connection with a purchase of Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 10.01);

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

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

(vi)        all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased or purchased in accordance with Section 2.03, Section 3.16(c) or Section 10.01;

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

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

The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of Servicing Fees, late payment charges, assumption fees, insufficient funds charges and ancillary income (other than Prepayment Charges) need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account and may be retained by the Servicer as additional compensation. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

(b)        On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Trustee shall establish and maintain one or more segregated, non-interest bearing trust accounts (such account or accounts, the “Distribution Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee in immediately available funds for deposit in the Distribution Account on or before 1:00 p.m. New York time on the Servicer 

 

Remittance Date, that portion of the Available Funds (calculated without regard to the references in the definition thereof to amounts that may be withdrawn from the Distribution Account) for the related Distribution Date then on deposit in the Collection Account, the amount of all Prepayment Charges collected during the applicable Prepayment Period by the Servicer and Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts in connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of the Mortgage Loans then on deposit in the Collection Account, the amount of any funds reimbursable to an Advancing Person pursuant to Section 3.29 (unless such amounts are to be remitted in another manner as specified in the documentation establishing the related Advance Facility).

If, by 1:00 p.m. New York time, on the Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer fails to remit to the Trustee for deposit into the Distribution Account any amounts required to be so remitted by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, the Servicer shall pay to the Trustee, for its own account, interest on such amounts at the prime rate for such date (as set forth in the Wall Street Journal).

(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 written notice to the Trustee of the location of the Collection Account maintained by it when established and prior to any change thereof. The Trustee shall give notice to the Servicer and the Depositor of the location of the Distribution Account when established and prior to any change thereof.

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

	
            (i)
 	
            any Advances, as required pursuant to Section 4.04;
 

(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 by the Servicer in connection with a purchase of Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 10.01;

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

 

 

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

	
            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 4.04:

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

(ii)         subject to Section 3.16(d), to reimburse the Servicer for (a) any unreimbursed Advances to the extent of amounts received which represent Late Collections (net of the related Servicing Fees), Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds on Mortgage Loans or REO Properties with respect to which such Advances were made in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.04; or (b) without limiting any right of withdrawal set forth in clause (vi) below, any unreimbursed Advances that, upon a Final Recovery Determination with respect to such Mortgage Loan, are Nonrecoverable Advances, but only to the extent that Late Collections (net of the related Servicing Fees), Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds received with respect to such Mortgage Loan are insufficient to reimburse the Servicer for such unreimbursed Advances;

(iii)        subject to Section 3.16(d), to pay the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer (a) any unpaid Servicing Fees, (b) any unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to each Mortgage Loan, but only to the extent of any Late Collections, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds received with respect to such Mortgage Loan or REO Property, and (c) without limiting any right of withdrawal set forth in clause (vi) below, any Servicing Advances made with respect to a Mortgage Loan that, upon a Final Recovery Determination with respect to such Mortgage Loan are Nonrecoverable Advances, but only to the extent that Late Collections, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds received with respect to such Mortgage Loan are insufficient to reimburse the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for Servicing Advances;

(iv)        to pay to the Servicer as additional 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 itself, the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has previously been purchased or replaced pursuant to Section 2.03 or Section 3.16(c) all amounts received thereon subsequent to the date of purchase or substitution, as the case may be;

 

 

(vi)        to reimburse the Servicer for any Advance or Servicing Advance previously made which the Servicer has determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.04;

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

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

(ix)        to pay itself any Prepayment Interest Excess (to the extent not otherwise retained);

(x)        to clear and terminate the Collection Account pursuant to Section 10.01; and

(xi)        to withdraw any amount deposited in the Collection Account and not required to be deposited therein.

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

The Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Collection Account, to the extent held by or on behalf of it, pursuant to subclauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) above. The Servicer shall provide written notification to the Trustee, on or prior to the next succeeding Servicer Remittance Date, upon making any withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to subclause (vi) above; provided that an Officers’ Certificate in the form described under Section 4.04(d) shall suffice for such written notification to the Trustee in respect hereof.

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

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

	
            (ii)
 	
            to pay itself the Trustee Compensation pursuant to Section 8.05;
 	
             

	
            (iii)
 	
            to pay any amounts in respect of taxes pursuant to Section 9.01(g);
 
				

(iv)        to clear and terminate the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 10.01;

 

 

(v)        to pay any amounts required to be paid to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, including but not limited to funds required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.06, Section 4.01, Section 7.02 and Section 8.05;

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

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

	
            (viii)
 	
            to pay the Custodian, the Custodian Fee.
 

	
            SECTION 3.12
 	
            Investment of Funds in the Collection Account, the Distribution 

            Account the Pre-Funding Account and the Interest Coverage

             Account.

(a)        The Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection Account and any REO Account to invest the funds on deposit in such accounts, the Depositor may direct any depository institution maintaining the Pre-Funding Account and the Interest Coverage Account, and the Trustee may invest the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account or hold such funds uninvested (each such account, for the purposes of this Section 3.12, an “Investment Account”).  All investments pursuant to this Section 3.12 shall be in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the Trustee is
the obligor thereon or if such investment is managed or advised by a Person other than the Trustee or an Affiliate of the Trustee, 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 or if such investment is managed or advised by the Trustee or any Affiliate. 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, any REO Account, the Interest Coverage Account and the Pre-Funding 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 Trustee 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, Section 3.29 or Section 3.23, as applicable. The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account or any REO Account, as applicable, the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such Account immediately upon realization of such loss.

All income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the Pre-Funding Account or the Interest Coverage Account held by or on behalf of the Depositor shall be for the benefit of the Depositor and shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance with Section 4.05. The Depositor shall cause the Seller to deposit in the Pre-Funding Account or the Interest Coverage Account the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately upon realization of such loss.

(c)        All income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the Trustee. The Trustee shall deposit in the Distribution Account the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such Account immediately upon realization of such loss.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee may at its discretion, and without liability, hold the funds in the Distribution Account uninvested.

(d)        Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Trustee may and, subject to Section 8.01 and Section 8.02(a)(v), upon the request of the Holders of Certificates representing more than 50% of the Voting Rights allocated to any Class of Certificates, shall take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.

(e)        The Trustee or its Affiliates are permitted to receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the Trustee’s economic self-interest for (i) serving as investment adviser, administrator, shareholder servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with respect to certain of the Permitted Investments, (ii) using Affiliates to effect transactions in certain Permitted Investments and (iii) effecting transactions in certain Permitted Investments.  Such compensation shall not be considered an amount that is reimbursable or payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.11 or 3.12 or otherwise payable in respect of extraordinary Trust Fund expenses.

 

 

	
            SECTION 3.13
 	
            [Reserved].
 

	
            SECTION 3.14
 	
            Maintenance of Hazard Insurance and Errors and Omissions and

             Fidelity Coverage.

(a)        The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan hazard insurance with extended coverage on the Mortgaged Property in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the current Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis, in each case in an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to avoid the application of any coinsurance clause contained in the related hazard insurance policy. The Servicer shall also cause to be maintained hazard insurance with extended coverage on each REO Property in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property and (ii) the outstanding Principal
Balance of the related Mortgage Loan at the time it became an REO Property. The Servicer will comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any such hazard policies. Any amounts to be collected by the Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or amounts to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the procedures that the Servicer would follow in servicing loans held for its own account, subject to the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note) shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.11, if received in respect of a Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.23, if received in respect of an REO Property. Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of
calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid 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 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 on terms substantially equivalent to those commercially available and maintained by competent servicers, 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 servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Depositor, 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 the extent permitted under the related Mortgage Note, 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 current underwriting criteria of the Servicer for a mortgage loan similar to the related Mortgage Loan.  In connection with any assumption, modification or substitution, the Servicer shall apply such underwriting standards and follow 

 

such practices and procedures as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and as it applies to other mortgage loans owned solely by it. The Servicer shall not take or enter into any assumption and modification agreement, however, unless (to the extent practicable in the circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in writing, of the continued effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance policy. 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 whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 3.15, the term “assumption” is deemed to also include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property) subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability agreement.

	
            SECTION 3.16
 	
            Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
 

(a)        The Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.07.  Title to any such property shall be taken in the name of the Trustee or its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders, subject to applicable law.  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(a) and Section 3.23. The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which a Mortgaged
Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its discretion that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself for such expenses.

(b)        Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.16 or any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Servicer has received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trustee, either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or 

 

otherwise, or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to, such Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Trustee, the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders would be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Servicer has also previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a report prepared by a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry standards, that:

(A)       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

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

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

If the Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund; provided that any amounts disbursed by the Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.16(b) shall constitute Servicing Advances, subject to Section 4.04(d). The cost of any such compliance, containment, clean-up 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)(vii), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.

(c)        The Servicer may, at its option, purchase a Mortgage Loan which has become 90 or more days delinquent or for which the Servicer has accepted a deed in lieu of foreclosure.  Prior to purchase pursuant to this Section 3.16(c), the Servicer shall be required to 

 

continue to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.04.  If the Servicer purchases any delinquent Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Section 3.16(c), it must purchase Mortgage Loans that are delinquent the greatest number of days before it may purchase any that are delinquent any fewer number of days.  The Servicer shall purchase such delinquent Mortgage Loan at a price equal to the Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loan.  Any such purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.16(c) shall be accomplished by deposit in the Collection Account of the amount of the Purchase Price.  Upon the satisfaction of the requirements set forth in Section 3.17(a), the Trustee shall immediately deliver the Mortgage File and any related documentation to the Servicer and will execute such documents provided to it as are necessary to convey the Mortgage Loan to the Servicer.

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

	
            SECTION 3.17
 	
            Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
 

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

(b)         From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any insurance policy relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall, upon any 

 

request made by or on behalf of the Servicer and delivery to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) of two executed copies of a written Request for Release in the form of Exhibit E hereto signed by a Servicing Officer (or in a mutually agreeable electronic format that will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer), release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer or its designee within three Business Days, which, shall be sent by overnight mail, at the expense of the Servicer or the related Mortgagor, and the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall, at the written direction of the Servicer, execute such documents provided to it by the Servicer as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. Such Request for Release shall obligate the Servicer to return each and every document previously requested from the Mortgage File to
the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Collection Account or the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Servicer has delivered, or caused to be delivered, to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) an additional Request for Release certifying as to such liquidation or action or proceedings. Upon the request of the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), the Servicer shall provide notice to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) of the name and address of the Person to which such
Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a Request for Release, in written (with two executed copies) or electronic format (or in a mutually agreeable electronic format that will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer), from a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation that are required to be deposited into the Collection Account have been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, such Mortgage Loan shall be released by the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) to the Servicer or its designee within three Business Days.

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

 

 

	
            SECTION 3.18
 	
            Servicing Compensation.
 

As compensation for the activities of the Servicer hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan payable solely from payments of interest in respect of such Mortgage Loan, subject to Section 3.24. In addition, the Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees out of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or condemnation proceeds to the extent permitted by Section 3.11(a)(iii) and out of amounts derived from the operation and sale of an REO Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.23. Except as provided in Section 3.29, the right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Servicer may pay from the Servicing Fee any amounts due to a
Sub-Servicer pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into under Section 3.02.

Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges, insufficient funds charges, ancillary income or otherwise (other than Prepayment Charges) shall be retained by the Servicer only to the extent such fees or charges are received by the Servicer. The Servicer shall also be entitled pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iv) to withdraw from the Collection Account and pursuant to Section 3.23(b) to withdraw from any REO Account, as additional servicing compensation, interest or other income earned on deposits therein, subject to Section 3.12 and Section 3.24.  The Servicer shall also be entitled to receive Prepayment Interest Excess pursuant to Section 3.10 and 3.11 as additional servicing compensation.  The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including premiums for the insurance
required by Section 3.14, to the extent such premiums are not paid by the related Mortgagors or by a Sub-Servicer, and servicing compensation of each Sub-Servicer) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided herein.

	
            SECTION 3.19
 	
            Reports to the Trustee; Collection Account Statements.
 

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

	
            SECTION 3.20
 	
            Statement as to Compliance.
 

The Servicer will deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor not later than March 15th of each calendar year, commencing in 2006, an Officers’ Certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit P, stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers’ supervision and (ii) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such calendar year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, 

 

specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. Copies of any such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon request at the expense of the requesting party, provided such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee.  In addition to the foregoing, the Servicer will, to the extent reasonable, give any other servicing information required by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to applicable law.  The Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses that such Person may sustain based upon a breach of the
Servicer’s obligations under this Section 3.20. 

	
            SECTION 3.21
 	
            Independent Public Accountants’ Servicing Report.
 

Not later than March 15th of each calendar year, commencing in 2006, the Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants to furnish to the Servicer a report stating that (i) it has obtained a letter of representation regarding certain matters from the management of the Servicer which includes an assertion that the Servicer has complied with certain minimum residential mortgage loan servicing standards, identified in the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers established by the Mortgage Bankers Association of America, with respect to the servicing of residential mortgage loans during the most recently completed calendar year and (ii) on the basis of an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants, such representation is fairly stated in all material respects, subject to such exceptions and other qualifications that may be appropriate. In rendering its report such firm may rely, as to matters relating to the direct servicing of residential mortgage loans by Sub-Servicers, upon comparable reports of firms of independent certified public accountants rendered on the basis of examinations conducted in accordance with the same standards (rendered within one year of such report) with respect to those Sub-Servicers. Immediately upon receipt of such report, the Servicer shall furnish a copy of such report to the Trustee and each Rating Agency. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder upon request at the expense of the requesting party, provided that such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee.  The Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates from
and against any actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses that such Person may sustain based upon a breach of the Servicer’s obligations under this Section 3.21.

	
            SECTION 3.22
 	
            Access to Certain Documentation; Filing of Reports by Trustee.
 

(a)          The Servicer shall provide to the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC, and any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any Certificateholder, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable laws and regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer 

 

designated by it. In addition, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans will be provided to the Trustee and to any Person identified to the Servicer as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon reasonable request during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it, at the expense of the Person requesting such access.

(b)        (i)         The Trustee and the Servicer 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 Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, and the Depositor shall sign (or shall cause another entity acceptable to the Securities and Exchange Commission to sign) and the Trustee shall file (via the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System) such forms on behalf of the Depositor (or such other entity).  The Depositor hereby
grants to the Trustee a limited power of attorney to execute 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.

(ii)         Each Form 8-K shall be filed by the Trustee within 10 days after each Distribution Date, with a copy of the statement to the Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto.  Subject to Section 3.22(b)(v), prior to March 30th of each year (or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission), the Trustee shall file a Form 10-K, in substance as required by applicable law or applicable Security and Exchange Commission interpretations.  The Trustee shall prepare such Form 10-K and provide the Depositor with such Form 10-K not later than March 20th of each year, subject to Section 3.22(b)(v).  Following its receipt thereof, the Depositor
shall execute such Form 10-K and provide the original of such Form 10-K to the Trustee not later than March 25th (or, if the applicable March 25th is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) of each year; provided, however, that if the filing of such Form 10-K shall be required to occur on a date earlier than March 30th of each year as may be required by the Exchange Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, then the time periods for preparation and execution of such Form 10-K set forth in this sentence shall be adjusted accordingly.  Such Form 10-K when filed shall include as exhibits the Servicer’s annual statement of compliance described under Section 3.20 and the accountant’s report described under Section 3.21, in each case to the extent they have been timely delivered to
the Trustee.  If they are not so timely delivered, the Trustee shall file an amended Form 10-K including such documents as exhibits reasonably promptly after they are delivered to the Trustee.  The Trustee shall have no liability with respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such periodic reports resulting from or relating to the Trustee’s inability or failure to obtain any information not resulting from its own negligence or willful misconduct.  The Form 10-K shall also include a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N-1 (the “Certification”), which shall be signed by the senior officer of the Depositor in charge of securitization.

 

 

(iii)        In addition, (x) the Trustee shall sign a certification (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N-2) for the benefit of the Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain aspects of the Certification (the “Trustee Certification”); provided, however, that the Trustee shall not undertake an analysis of the accountant’s report attached as an exhibit to the Form 10-K, and (y) the Servicer shall sign a certification (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N-3) for the benefit of the Depositor, the Trustee and their officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain aspects of the Certification (the “Servicer Certification”).  The Servicer Certification shall be delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee no later than March 15th or if such day
is not a Business Day, the preceding Business Day, each year (subject to Section 3.22(b)(v) hereof).

In addition, (A) the Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of third party claims based upon a breach of the Trustee’s obligations under this Section 3.22(b)  or any material misstatement or omission contained in the Trustee Certification, and (B) the Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Trustee and their respective officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses that such Person may sustain arising out of third party claims based upon a breach of the Servicer’s
obligations under this Section 3.22(b)(iii), any material misstatement or omission contained in the Servicer’s Certification or any information correctly derived by the Trustee and included in a Form 8-K or Form 10-K from information provided to the Trustee by the Servicer under this Agreement.  If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Depositor, then (i) the Trustee agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Depositor as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Depositor in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor on the one hand and the Trustee on the other and (ii) the Servicer agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Depositor as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Depositor in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor on the one hand and the
Servicer on the other.

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

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

(vi)        To the extent that, following the Closing Date, the Depositor certifies that reports and certifications differing from those required under this Section 3.22(b) comply with the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, the Trustee and the Servicer hereby agree that they will reasonably cooperate to amend the provisions of this Section 3.22(b) in order to comply with such amended reporting requirements and such amendment of this Section 3.22(b); 

 

provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be responsible for executing any Form 10-K or the Certification.  Any such amendment may result in the reduction of the reports filed by the Depositor under the Exchange Act.

	
            SECTION 3.23
 	
            Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.
 

(a)        The deed or certificate of sale of any REO Property shall, subject to applicable laws, be taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee, in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Servicer, on behalf of REMIC 1, shall sell any REO Property as soon as practicable and in any event no later than the end of the third full taxable year after the taxable year in which such REMIC acquires ownership of such REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or request from the Internal Revenue Service, no later than 60 days before the day on which the three-year grace period would otherwise expire, an extension of such three-year period, unless the Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Depositor, to the effect that the holding by the REMIC of such REO Property
subsequent to three years after its acquisition will not result in the imposition on the REMIC of taxes on “prohibited transactions” thereof, as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause any of the REMICs created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC under Federal law at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by any of the REMICs created hereunder of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code, or any “net income from foreclosure property” which is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions.

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

(c)        The Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with any REO Property as are consistent with the manner in which the Servicer manages and operates similar property owned by the Servicer or any of its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period (subject to the requirement of prompt disposition set forth in Section 3.23(a)) as the Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Certificateholders. In connection therewith, the Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited in the 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, operate and dispose of such REO Property.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

 

(B)        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;

(C)       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

(D)       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 in a manner, at such price and upon such terms and conditions as shall be normal and usual in the Servicing Standard.

(f)         The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any amount required by law to be remitted to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan and net of any payment or reimbursement to the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer as provided above, shall be deposited in the Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii) on the Servicer Remittance Date in 

 

the month following the receipt thereof for distribution on the related Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01. Any REO Disposition shall be for cash only (unless changes in the REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale for other consideration).

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

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

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

	
            SECTION 3.25
 	
            [Reserved].
 

	
            SECTION 3.26
 	
            Obligations of the Servicer in Respect of Mortgage Rates and 

            Monthly Payments.

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

 

 

	
            SECTION 3.27
 	
            [Reserved].

            SECTION 3.29
 	
            Advance Facility.
 

The Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into a financing or other facility (any such arrangement, an “Advance Facility”) under which (1) the Servicer sells, assigns or pledges to another Person (together with such Person’s successors and assigns, an “Advancing Person”) the Servicer’s rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for any Advances or Servicing Advances and/or (2) an Advancing Person agrees to fund some or all Advances and/or Servicing Advances required to be made by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement.  No consent of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificateholders or any other party shall be required before the Servicer may enter into an Advance Facility.  The Servicer shall notify each other party to this Agreement prior to or promptly after entering into or terminating any Advance Facility.  Notwithstanding the existence of any
Advance Facility under which an Advancing Person agrees to fund Advances and/or Servicing Advances on the Servicer’s behalf, the Servicer shall remain obligated pursuant to this Agreement to make Advances and Servicing Advances pursuant to and as required by this Agreement.  If the Servicer enters into an Advance Facility, and for so long as an Advancing Person remains entitled to receive reimbursement for any Advances including Nonrecoverable Advances (“Advance Reimbursement Amounts”) and/or Servicing Advances including Nonrecoverable Advances (“Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts” and together with Advance Reimbursement Amounts, “Reimbursement Amounts”) (in each case to the extent such type of Reimbursement Amount is included in the Advance Facility), as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement, then the Servicer shall identify such Reimbursement Amounts consistent with the reimbursement rights set forth in Section 3.11(a)(ii), (iii), (vi) and
(vii) and remit such Reimbursement Amounts in accordance with Section 3.10(b) or otherwise 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.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if so required pursuant to the terms of the Advance Facility, the Servicer may direct, and if so directed the Trustee is hereby authorized to and shall pay to the Advance Facility Trustee the Reimbursement Amounts identified pursuant to the preceding sentence.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall Advance Reimbursement Amounts or Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts be included in the Available Funds or distributed to Certificateholders.

Reimbursement Amounts shall consist solely of amounts in respect of Advances and/or Servicing Advances made with respect to the Mortgage Loans for which the Servicer would be permitted to reimburse itself in accordance with this Agreement, assuming the Servicer or the Advancing Person had made the related Advance(s) and/or Servicing Advance(s).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, except with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances as set forth in this Agreement, no Person shall be entitled to reimbursement from funds held in the Collection Account for future distribution to Certificateholders pursuant to this Agreement.  None of the Depositor or the Trustee shall have any duty or liability with respect to the calculation of any Reimbursement Amount, nor shall the Depositor or the Trustee have any 

 

responsibility to track or monitor the administration of the Advance Facility or the payment of Reimbursement Amounts to the related Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee.  The Servicer shall maintain and provide to any successor servicer and (upon request) the Trustee a detailed accounting on a loan by loan basis as to amounts advanced by, sold, pledged or assigned to, and reimbursed to any Advancing Person.  The successor servicer shall be entitled to rely on any such information provided by the predecessor servicer, and the successor servicer shall not be liable for any errors in such information.  Any successor Servicer shall reimburse the predecessor Servicer and itself for outstanding Advances and Servicing Advances, respectively, with respect to each Mortgage Loan on a first in, first out (“FIFO”) basis; provided that the successor Servicer has received prior written notice from the
predecessor Servicer or the Advancing Person of reimbursement amounts owed to the predecessor Servicer.  Liquidation Proceeds with respect to a Mortgage Loan shall be applied to reimburse Advances outstanding with respect to that Mortgage Loan before being applied to reimburse Servicing Advances outstanding with respect to that Mortgage Loan.

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

Reimbursement Amounts distributed with respect to each Mortgage Loan shall be allocated to outstanding unreimbursed Advances or Servicing Advances (as the case may be) made with respect to that Mortgage Loan on a FIFO basis.  Upon the direction of and at the expense of the Servicer, the Trustee agrees to execute such acknowledgments provided by the Servicer recognizing the interests of any Advance Facility Trustee in such Reimbursement Amounts as the Servicer may cause to be made subject to Advance Facilities pursuant to this Section 3.29.

The Servicer shall remain entitled to be reimbursed for all Advances and Servicing Advances funded by the Servicer to the extent the related rights to be reimbursed therefor have not been sold, assigned or pledged to an Advancing Person.

The Servicer shall indemnify the Depositor, the Trustee, any successor servicer and the Trust Fund for any loss, liability or damage resulting from any claim by the related Advancing Person arising out of the Advance Facility, except to the extent that such claim, loss, liability or damage resulted from or arose out of negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct or breach of its duties hereunder on the part of the Depositor, the Trustee or any successor servicer.

Any amendment to this Section 3.29 or to any other provision of this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an Advance Facility as described generally in this Section 3.29, including amendments to add provisions relating to a successor servicer, may be entered into by the Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicer without the consent of any Certificateholder, provided such amendment complies with Section 11.01 hereof.  All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of each party hereto of any such 

 

amendment shall be borne solely by the Servicer.  Prior to entering into an Advance Facility, the Servicer shall notify the Advancing Person in writing that:  (a) the Advances and/or Servicing Advances purchased, financed by and/or pledged to the Advancing Person are obligations owed to the Servicer on a non-recourse basis payable only from the cash flows and proceeds received under this Agreement for reimbursement of Advances and/or Servicing Advances only to the extent provided herein, and the Trustee and the Trust are not otherwise obligated or liable to repay any Advances and/or Servicing Advances financed by the Advancing Person and (b) the Trustee shall not have any responsibility to track or monitor the administration of the Advance Facility between the Servicer and the Advancing Person.

(vi)        any remaining amounts to the Holders of the Residual Certificates (in respect of the Class R-1 Interest, the Class R-2 Interest, the Class R-3 Interest, the Class R-4 Interest or the Class R-5 Interest, as appropriate).

 

 

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

(i)         concurrently, to each Class of Class A Certificates, the related Cap Amount, from payments made under the Cap Contract, in each case up to a maximum amount equal to the related Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount for such Distribution Date;

(e)        On each Distribution Date, all amounts representing Prepayment Charges in respect of the Mortgage Loans received during the related Prepayment Period and any Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts paid by the Servicers during the related Prepayment Period will be withdrawn from the Distribution Account and distributed by the Trustee to the Holders of the Class P Certificates and shall not be available for distribution to the Holders of any other Class of Certificates. The payment of the foregoing amounts to the Holders of the Class P Certificates shall not reduce the Certificate Principal Balances thereof.

(f)         The Trustee shall make distributions in respect of a Distribution Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date (other than as provided in Section 10.01 respecting the final distribution), in the case of Certificateholders of the Regular Certificates, by check or money order mailed to such Certificateholder at the address appearing in the Certificate Register, or by wire transfer. Distributions among Certificateholders shall be 

 

made in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced by the Certificates held by such Certificateholders.

(g)        Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the Depository, which shall credit the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each 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. All such credits and disbursements with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate are to be made by the Depository and the Depository Participants in accordance with the provisions of the Certificates. None of the Trustee, the Depositor
or the Servicers shall have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by applicable law.

On each Distribution Date, following the foregoing distributions, an amount equal to the amount of Subsequent Recoveries deposited into the Collection Accounts pursuant to Section 3.10 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 4.08.  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 4.08.  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.

(i)         It is the intention of all of the parties hereto that the Class C 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 and that the Residual Certificates are to receive no principal and interest. 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 but shall make such distribution in accordance with the terms of this Agreement until this Agreement is amended as specified in the following sentence.  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 acceptance of their Certificates, and the Servicer(s), hereby agree to any such amendment and no further consent shall be necessary, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.01 of this Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that such amendment shall otherwise comply with Section 11.01 hereof.

The Trustee will make such statement (and, at its option, any additional files containing the same information in an alternative format) available each month to Certificateholders 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 customer service desk at (800) 735-7777. Parties that are unable to use the above distribution option are entitled to have a paper copy mailed to them via first class mail by calling the customer service 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.  As a condition to access to the Trustee’s internet website, the Trustee may require registration and the acceptance of a disclaimer.  The Trustee will not be liable for the dissemination of information in accordance with this Agreement.  The Trustee shall also be entitled to rely on but shall not be responsible for the content or accuracy of any information provided by third parties for purposes of preparing the Distribution Date statement and may affix thereto any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion (without suggesting liability on the part of any other party thereto).

In the case of information furnished pursuant to subclauses (i) and (ii) above, the amounts shall be expressed in a separate section of the report as a dollar amount for each Class for each $1,000 original dollar amount as of the Cut-off Date.

(b)        Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Trustee shall, upon written request, furnish to each Person who at any time during the calendar year was a Certificateholder of a Regular Certificate, if requested in writing by such Person, such information as is reasonably necessary to provide to such Person a statement containing the 

 

information set forth in subclauses (i) and (ii) 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 prepared and furnished by the Trustee to Certificateholders pursuant to any requirements of the Code as are in force from time to time.

(c)        On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall make available to the Residual Certificateholders a copy of the reports forwarded to the Regular Certificateholders in respect of such Distribution Date with such other information as the Trustee deems necessary or appropriate.

(d)        Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Trustee shall deliver to each Person who at any time during the calendar year was a Residual Certificateholder, if requested in writing by such Person, such information as is reasonably necessary to provide to such Person a statement containing the information provided pursuant to the previous paragraph aggregated for such calendar year or applicable portion thereof during which such Person was a Residual Certificateholder. Such obligation of the Trustee shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be prepared and furnished to Certificateholders by the Trustee pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from time to time in force.

	
            SECTION 4.04
 	
            Remittance Reports; Advances.
 

(a)        By the second Business Day following each Determination Date, each Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee by telecopy or electronic mail (or by such other means as the related Servicer and the Trustee may agree from time to time) up to two Remittance Reports with respect to the related Distribution Date, which Remittance Reports the Trustee shall use in preparing the statement pursuant to Section 4.03.  No later than the second Business Day following each Determination Date, each Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee in addition to the information provided on the Remittance Report, such other information reasonably available to it 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 4.03. The Trustee shall not be responsible to recompute, recalculate or verify any information provided to it by either Servicer.

(b)        The amount of Advances to be made by each Servicer for any Distribution Date shall equal, subject to Section 4.04(d), the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (net of the related Servicing Fee), due during the related Due Period in respect of the Mortgage Loans, which Monthly Payments were delinquent on a contractual basis 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 Due Period and as to which REO Property an REO Disposition did not occur during the related Due 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.  For purposes of the preceding sentence, the Monthly Payment on each Balloon Mortgage Loan with a delinquent Balloon Payment is equal to the assumed monthly payment that would have been due on the related Due Date based on the original principal amortization schedule for such Balloon Mortgage Loan.

On or before 3:00 p.m. New York time on the Servicer Remittance Date, each 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 its 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 related Collection Account that amounts held for future distribution have been, as permitted by this Section 4.04, used by the related 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 related Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties.  Any amounts held for future distribution used by the related Servicer to make an Advance as permitted in the preceding sentence shall be appropriately reflected in the related Servicer’s records and replaced by the related Servicer by deposit in its Collection Account on or before any future 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 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 related Servicer by telecopy by the Close of Business on any Servicer Remittance Date in the event that the amount remitted by the related Servicer to the Trustee on such date is less than the Advances required to be made by the
related Servicer for the related Distribution Date, as set forth in the related Remittance Report.

(c)        The obligation of each 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, shall continue until the Mortgage Loan is paid in full or until all Liquidation Proceeds thereon have been recovered, or a Final Recovery Determination has been made thereon.

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

 

 

	
            SECTION 4.05
 	
            Pre-Funding Account.
 

(a)        No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain a segregated trust account that is an Eligible Account, which shall be titled “Pre-Funding Account, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as trustee for the registered holders of Soundview Home Loan Trust 2005-2, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2005-2”  (the “Pre-Funding Account”).  The Trustee shall, promptly upon receipt, deposit in the Pre-Funding Account and retain therein the Original Pre-Funded Amount remitted on the Closing Date to the Trustee by the Depositor.  Funds deposited in the Pre-Funding Account shall be held in trust by the Trustee for the Certificateholders for the uses and purposes set forth herein.

(b)        The Trustee will invest funds deposited in the Pre-Funding Account directed by the Depositor in Permitted Investments with a maturity date (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, (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 or (iii) within one Business Day of the Trustee’s receipt thereof.  For federal income tax purposes, the Depositor shall be the owner of the Pre-Funding Account and shall report all items of income, deduction, gain or loss arising therefrom.  All income and gain
realized from investment of funds deposited in the Pre-Funding Account shall be transferred to the Depositor.  The Depositor shall deposit in the Pre-Funding Account the amount of any net loss incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment immediately upon realization of such loss without any right of reimbursement therefor.  At no time will the Pre-Funding Account be assets of any REMIC created hereunder.

(c)        Amounts on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account shall be withdrawn by the Trustee as follows:

(1)        On any Subsequent Transfer Date, the Trustee shall withdraw from the Pre-Funding Account an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans transferred and assigned to the Trustee for deposit in the Mortgage Pool on such Subsequent Transfer Date and pay such amount to or upon the order of the Depositor upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.08 with respect to such transfer and assignment;

(2)        If the amount on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account (exclusive of any investment income therein) has not been reduced to zero during the Funding Period, on the day immediately following the termination of the Funding Period, the Trustee shall deposit into the Distribution Account any amounts remaining in the Pre-Funding Account (exclusive of any investment income therein) for distribution in accordance with the terms hereof;

(3)        To distribute to the Interest Coverage Account any income and gain realized from the investment of funds in the Pre-Funding Account;

 

 

(4)        To withdraw any amount not required to be deposited in the Pre-Funding Account or deposited therein in error; and

(5)        To clear and terminate the Pre-Funding Account upon the earlier to occur of (A) the Distribution Date immediately following the end of the Funding Period and (B) the termination of this Agreement, with any amounts remaining on deposit therein being paid to the Holders of the Certificates then entitled to distributions in respect of principal. 

Withdrawals pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) shall be treated as contributions of cash to REMIC 1 on the date of withdrawal.

	
            SECTION 4.06
 	
            Interest Coverage Account.
 

(a)        If amounts are required to be deposited in the Interest Coverage Account, no later than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain a segregated non-interest bearing trust account that is an Eligible Account, which shall be titled “Interest Coverage Account, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as trustee for the registered holders of Soundview Home Loan Trust 2005-2, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2005-2” (the “Interest Coverage Account”).  The Trustee shall, promptly upon receipt, deposit in the Interest Coverage Account and retain therein the Interest Coverage Amount, remitted on the Closing Date to the Trustee by the Depositor.  Funds deposited in the Interest Coverage Account shall be held in trust by the Trustee for the Certificateholders for the uses and purposes set forth herein. 

(b)        The Trustee shall invest funds deposited in the Interest Coverage Account in Permitted Investments of the kind described in clauses (i), (v) or (vi) of the definition of Permitted Investments, as specified in a written direction from the Depositor, with a maturity date no later than the second Business Day preceding each Distribution Date.  For federal income tax purposes, the holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Residual Certificates shall be the owner of the Interest Coverage Account and shall report all items of income, deduction, gain or loss arising therefrom.  At no time shall the Interest Coverage Account be an asset of any Trust REMIC.  All income and gain realized from investment of funds deposited in the Interest Coverage Account shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Depositor and shall be remitted by the
Trustee to the Depositor on the first Business Day following each Distribution Date.  The Depositor shall deposit in the Interest Coverage Account the amount of any net loss incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment immediately upon realization of such loss.

(c)        On each Distribution Date during the Funding Period and on the last day of the Funding Period, the Trustee shall withdraw from the Interest Coverage Account and deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to 30 days’ interest on the excess, if any, of the Original Pre-Funded Amount over the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of Subsequent Mortgage Loans that both (i) had a Due Date during the Due Period relating to such Distribution Date and (ii) had a Subsequent Cut-off Date prior to the first day of the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, at a per annum rate equal to the weighted average Pass-Through Rate of the Offered Certificates for such Distribution Date, with the Pass-Through Rate on the Offered Certificates, solely for the purposes of the foregoing calculation, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the actual number of days in the Accrual Period for such Class for such 

 

Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is 30.  Such withdrawal and deposit shall be treated as a contribution of cash by the Servicer to REMIC I. Immediately following any such withdrawal and deposit, and immediately following the conveyance of any Subsequent Mortgage Loans to the Trust on any Subsequent Transfer Date, the Trustee shall withdraw from the Interest Coverage Account and remit to the Depositor or its designee an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the amount remaining in the Interest Coverage Account over the amount that would be required to be withdrawn therefrom (assuming sufficient funds therein) pursuant to the second preceding sentence on each subsequent Distribution Date, if any, that shall occur during the Funding Period or that shall be the last day of the Funding Period, if no Subsequent Mortgage Loans were acquired by the Trust Fund after the end of the Prepayment Period
relating to the current Distribution Date (assuming that LIBOR remains constant at the level of LIBOR applicable to the calculation of the Pass-Through Rate for the Floating Rate Certificates for the current Distribution Date).

(d)        Upon the earlier of (i) the Distribution Date immediately following the end of the Funding Period, (ii) the reduction of the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Floating Rate Certificates to zero or (iii) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.01, any amount remaining on deposit in the Interest Coverage Account after distributions pursuant to paragraph (c) above shall be withdrawn by the Trustee and paid to the Depositor or its designee.

	
            SECTION 4.07
 	
            Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.
 

No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain with itself a separate, segregated trust account titled, “Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee, in trust for registered Holders of Soundview Mortgage Loan Trust 2005-2, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2005-2.” All amounts deposited in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall be distributed to the Holders of the Floating Rate Certificates in the manner set forth in Section 4.01(d).

On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount payable to the Floating Rate Certificates, the Trustee has been directed by the Class C Certificateholders to, and therefore will, deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account the amounts described in Section 4.01(d)(iv), rather than distributing such amounts to the Class C Certificateholders. In addition, any payments received by the Trustee under the Cap Contract on each Distribution Date will be deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.  On each such Distribution Date, the Trustee shall hold all such amounts for the benefit of the Holders of the Floating Rate Certificates, and will distribute such amounts to the Holders of the Floating Rate Certificates in the amounts and priorities set forth in Section 4.01(d).

On each Distribution Date, any amounts remaining in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account (representing payments received by the Trustee under the Cap Contract) after the payment of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts on the Floating Rate Certificates for such Distribution Date, shall be payable to the Trustee. For so long as any Floating Rate Certificates are beneficially owned by the Depositor or any of its Affiliates, the Depositor shall refund or cause such Affiliate to refund any amounts paid to it under the Cap Contract to the Trustee who shall, pursuant to the terms of the Cap Contract, return such amount to the counterparty thereunder. 

For federal and state income tax purposes, the Trustee will be deemed to be the owner of the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.  All amounts deposited into the Net 

 

WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account (other than amounts received under the Cap Contract) shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC 3 to the Holder of the Class C Interest and by REMIC 4 to the Holder of the Class C Certificates.  The Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will be an “outside reserve fund” within the meaning of Treasury regulation Section 1.860G-2(h).  Upon the termination of the Trust, or the payment in full of the Floating Rate Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will be released by the Trust and distributed to the Trustee or its designee.  The Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will be part of the Trust but not part of any REMIC and any payments to the Holders of the Floating Rate Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts will not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within
the meaning of Code Section 860(G)(a)(1).

By accepting a Class C Certificate, each Class C 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 C Certificateholders. By accepting a Class C Certificate, each Class C Certificateholder further agrees that such direction is given for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by such acceptance.

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

For federal tax return and information reporting, the value of the right to receive payments from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Account is $26,000.00.

	
            SECTION 4.08
 	
            Distributions on the REMIC Regular Interests.
 

(a)        On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall cause in the following order of priority, the following amounts which shall be deemed to be distributed by REMIC 1 to REMIC 2 on account of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests or withdrawn from the Distribution Account and distributed to the holders of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class R-1 Interest), as the case may be:

(1)(i)     to the Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1, REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1PF and REMIC 1 Regular Interest LTP in an amount equal to (A) the Uncertificated Accrued Interest for each REMIC 1 Regular Interest for such Distribution Date, plus (B) any amounts in respect thereof remaining unpaid from previous Distribution Dates;  and

(ii)         to the Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LTP, on the Distribution Date immediately following the expiration of the latest Prepayment Charge as identified on the Prepayment Charge Schedule or any Distribution Date thereafter until $100 has been distributed pursuant to this clause;

(2)        to the Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1 and REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1PF, in an amount equal to the remainder of the Available Funds for such 

 

Distribution Date after the distributions made pursuant to clause (1) above, allocated as follows:

(a)        to the Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1 is reduced to zero;

(b)        to the Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1PF, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1PF is reduced to zero; and

(c)        any remaining amount to the Holders of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class R-1 Interest).

On each Distribution Date, all amounts representing Prepayment Charges in respect of the Mortgage Loans received during the related Prepayment Period will be distributed by REMIC 1 to the Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LTP.  The payment of the foregoing amounts to the Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LTP shall not reduce the Uncertificated Principal Balance thereof.

(b)        On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall cause in the following order of priority, the following amounts which shall be deemed to be distributed by REMIC 2 to REMIC 3 on account of the REMIC 2 Regular Interests or withdrawn from the Distribution Account and distributed to the holders of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class R-2 Interest), as the case may be:

(1)        first, to the extent of Available Funds, to Holders of REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTAA, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTA1, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTA2, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTA3, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTA4, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM1, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM2, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM3, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM4, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM5, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM6, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM7, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM8, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM9, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTB1, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTB2, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTB3, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTB4, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTB5, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTZZ and REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTP, on a pro rata basis, in an amount equal to (A) the Uncertificated Accrued
Interest for such Distribution Date, plus (B) any amounts in respect thereof remaining unpaid from previous Distribution Dates. Amounts payable as Uncertificated Accrued Interest in respect of REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTZZ shall be reduced and deferred when the REMIC 2 Overcollateralization Amount is less than the REMIC 2 Overcollateralization Target Amount, by the lesser of (x) the amount of such difference and (y) the Maximum Uncertificated Accrued Interest Deferral Amount and such amount will be payable to the Holders of REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTA1, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTA2, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTA3, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTA4, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM1, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM2, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM3, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM4, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM5, 

 

REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM6, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM7, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM8, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM9, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTB1, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTB2, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTB3, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTB4 and REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTB5, in the same proportion as the Overcollateralization Deficiency Amount is allocated to the Corresponding Certificates and the Uncertificated Principal Balance of the REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTZZ shall be increased by such amount; and

(2)        second, to the Holders of REMIC 2 Regular Interests, in an amount equal to the remainder of the Available Funds for such Distribution Date after the distributions made pursuant to clause (i) above, allocated as follows:

(a)        98.00% of such remainder to the Holders of REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTAA and REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTP, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such Uncertificated REMIC 2 Regular Interest is reduced to zero; provided, however, that REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTP shall not be reduced until the Distribution Date immediately following the expiration of the latest Prepayment Charge as identified on the Prepayment Charge Schedule or any Distribution Date thereafter, at which point such amount shall be distributed to REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTP, until $100 has been distributed pursuant to this clause;

(b)        2.00% of such remainder first, to the Holders of REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTA1, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTA2, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTA3, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTA4, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM1, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM2, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM3, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM4, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM5, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM6, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM7, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM8, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM9, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTB1, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTB2, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTB3, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTB4 and REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTB5, of and in the same proportion as principal payments are allocated to the Corresponding Certificates, until the Uncertificated Principal Balances of such REMIC 2 Regular Interests are reduced to zero, and second, to the
Holders of REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTZZ, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC 2 Regular Interest is reduced to zero; and

(c)        any remaining amount to the Holders of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class R-2 Interest);

provided, however, that REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTP, in that order and (ii) REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTZZ, respectively; provided that REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTP shall not be reduced until the Distribution Date immediately following the expiration of the latest Prepayment Charge as identified on the Prepayment Charge Schedule or any Distribution Date thereafter, at which 

 

point such amount shall be distributed to REMIC 2 Regular Interest LT1P, until $100 has been distributed pursuant to this clause.

	
            SECTION 4.09
 	
            Allocation of Realized Losses.
 

(a)        All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Regular Certificate shall be allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date as follows:  first, to Net Monthly Excess Cashflow; second, to the Class C Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; third, to the Class B-5 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the Class B-4 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero fifth, to the Class B-3 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; sixth, to the Class B-2 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; seventh, to the Class B-1 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been

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 or Class B Certificate on any Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance thereof by the amount so allocated; any allocation of Realized Losses to a Class C Certificates shall be made first by reducing the amount otherwise payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 4.01(d)(iv). No allocations of any Realized Losses shall be made to the Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A Certificates or the Class P Certificates.

(b)        All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date to the REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1 and REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1PF until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each such REMIC 1 Regular Interest has been reduced to zero; provided however, with respect to the first three Distribution Dates, all Realized Losses on the Initial Mortgage Loans shall be allocated to REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1 until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each such REMIC 1 Regular Interest 

 

has been reduced to zero, and all Realized Losses on the Subsequent Mortgage Loans shall be allocated to REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1PF until the Uncertificated Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero.

THE CERTIFICATES

	
            SECTION 5.01
 	
            The Certificates.
 

Each of the Floating Rate Certificates, the Class P Certificates, the Class C Certificates and the Residual Certificates shall be substantially in the forms annexed hereto as exhibits, and shall, on original issue, be executed, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee to or upon the order of the Depositor concurrently with the sale and assignment to the Trustee of the Trust Fund. The Floating Rate Certificates shall be initially evidenced by one or more Certificates representing a Percentage Interest with a minimum dollar denomination of $25,000 and integral dollar multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof, except that one Certificate of each such Class of Certificates may be in a different denomination so that the sum of the denominations of all outstanding Certificates of such Class shall equal the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class on the Closing Date. The Class C Certificates,
the Class P Certificates and the Residual Certificates are issuable in any Percentage Interests; provided, however, that the sum of all such percentages for each such Class totals 100% and no more than ten Certificates of each Class may be issued and outstanding at any one time.

The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by a Responsible Officer. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall bind the Trust, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless such Certificate shall have been manually authenticated by the Trustee substantially in the form provided for herein, and such authentication upon any Certificate 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. Subject to Section 5.02(c), the Floating Rate Certificates shall be Book-Entry Certificates. The other Classes of Certificates shall not be Book-Entry Certificates.

	
            SECTION 5.02
 	
            Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
 

(a)        The Certificate Registrar shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar 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.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of the Certificate Registrar maintained for such purpose pursuant to the foregoing paragraph which office shall initially be the offices of the Trustee’s agent located at c/o DTC 

 

Transfer Agent Services, 55 Water Street, Jeanette Park Entrance, New York, New York 10041  and, in the case of a Residual Certificate, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same aggregate Percentage Interest.

At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates in authorized denominations and the same aggregate Percentage Interests, upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute on behalf of the Trust and authenticate and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.  In addition, (i) with respect to each Class R Certificate, the
holder thereof may exchange, in the manner described above, such Class R Certificate for three separate certificates, each representing such holder’s respective Percentage Interest in the Class R-1 Interest, the Class R-2 Interest and the Class R-3 Interest that was evidenced by the Class R Certificate being exchanged and (ii) with respect to each Class R-X Certificate, the holder thereof may exchange, in the manner described above, such Class R-X Certificate for two separate certificates, each representing such holder’s respective Percentage Interest in the Class R-4 Interest and the Class R-5 Interest that was evidenced by the Class R-X Certificate being exchanged.

(b)        Except as provided in paragraph (c) below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all times: (i) registration of such Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership and transfers of such Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of registration of such Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee shall for all purposes deal with the Depository as representative of the Certificate Owners of the Certificates for
purposes of exercising the rights of Holders under this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such representative shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; (vi) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to indirect participating firms and Persons shown on the books of such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners; and (vii) the direct participants of the Depository shall have no rights under this Agreement under or with respect to any of the Certificates held on their behalf by the Depository, and the Depository may be treated by the Trustee and its agents, employees, officers and directors as the absolute owner of the Certificates for all purposes whatsoever.

 

 

All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owners. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners that it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s normal procedures. The parties hereto are hereby authorized to execute a Letter of Representations with the Depository or take such other action as may be necessary or desirable to register a Book-Entry Certificate to the Depository. In the event of any conflict between the terms of any such Letter of Representation and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

(c)        If (i)(x) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as Depository and (y) the Trustee or the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor or (ii) after the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination, the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates representing Percentage Interests of such Classes aggregating not less than 51% advise the Trustee and Depository through the Financial Intermediaries and the Depository Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository to the exclusion of definitive, fully registered certificates (the “Definitive Certificates”) to Certificate Owners is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners. Upon surrender to the
Certificate Registrar of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall in the case of (i) and (ii) above, execute on behalf of the Trust and authenticate the Definitive Certificates. Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, each Servicer, any Paying Agent and the Depositor shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.

(d)        No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Class B Certificate, Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate (the “Private Certificates”) shall be made unless such disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with the 1933 Act and laws. In the event of any such transfer (other than in connection with (i) the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an Affiliate of the Depositor or, in the case of the Class R-X Certificates, the first transfer by an Affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the transfer of any such Class C, Class P or Residual Certificate to the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture or (iii) a
transfer of any such Class C, Class P or Residual Certificate from the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor), (i) unless such transfer is made in reliance upon Rule 144A (as evidenced by the investment letter delivered to the Trustee, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit J) under the 1933 Act, the Trustee and the Depositor shall require a written Opinion of Counsel (which may be in-house counsel) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Depositor that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from the 1933 Act or is being made pursuant to the 1933 Act, which Opinion of Counsel 

 

shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Depositor or (ii) the Trustee shall require the transferor to execute a transferor certificate (in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit L) and the transferee to execute an investment letter (in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit J) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Trustee certifying to the Depositor and the Trustee the facts surrounding such transfer, which investment letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Depositor. The Holder of a Private 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, 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 transferor will be deemed to have made each of the transferor representations and warranties set forth Exhibit L hereto in respect of such interest as if it was evidenced by a Definitive Certificate and the transferee will be deemed to have made each of the transferee representations and warranties set forth Exhibit J 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 above in this Section 5.02(d) will be required in connection with the transfer, on the Closing Date, of any Residual Certificate by the Depositor to an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of the 1933 Act.

No transfer of a Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual 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 M, unless the Trustee is provided with an Opinion of Counsel for the benefit of the Depositor, the Trustee and each Servicer and on which they may rely which establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee that the purchase of such Certificates is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result in any prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will
not subject the Depositor, either 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, either Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund. Neither a certification nor an Opinion of Counsel will be required in connection with (i) the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an Affiliate of the Depositor,  (ii)  the transfer of any such Class C, Class P or Residual Certificate to the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture or (iii) a transfer of any such Class C, Class P or 

 

Residual Certificate from the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor (in which case, the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof shall have deemed to have represented that such Affiliate is not a Plan or a Person investing Plan Assets) and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the request of the Trustee, shall be a written representation) from the Depositor of the status of such transferee as an affiliate of the Depositor.

Each Transferee of a Mezzanine Certificate or Class B Certificate will be deemed to have represented by virtue of its purchase or holding of such Certificate (or interest therein) (or in the case a Class B Certificate, must represent) that either (a) such Transferee is not a Plan or purchasing such Certificate with Plan Assets, (b) in the case of the Mezzanine Certificates it has acquired and is holding such Certificate in reliance on Prohibited Transaction Exemption (“PTE”) 90-59, 55 Fed. Reg. 36724 (September 6, 1990), as amended by PTE 97-34, 62 Fed. Reg. 39021 (July 21, 1997), PTE 2000-58, 65 Fed. Reg. 67765 (November 13, 2000) and PTE 2002-41, 67 Fed. Reg. 54487 (August 22, 2002) (the “Exemption”), and that it understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of the Exemption including that such Certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase,
not lower than “BBB-” (or its equivalent) by a Rating Agency or (c) the following conditions are satisfied:  (i) such Transferee is an insurance company, (ii) the source of funds used to purchase or hold such Certificate (or interest therein) is an “insurance company general account” (as defined in U.S. Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60, and (iii) the conditions set forth in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.

If any Mezzanine Certificate or Private 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 Servicers, the Trustee and the Trust from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by those parties as a result of that acquisition or holding.

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 appointed the Depositor or its designee as its attorney-in-fact to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (v) below and to execute all instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such sale, and the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:

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

 

 

(ii)         No Person shall acquire an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate unless such Ownership Interest is a pro rata undivided interest.

(iii)        In connection with any proposed transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Trustee shall as a condition to registration of the transfer, require delivery to it, in form and substance satisfactory to it, of each of the following:

	
            (A)
 	
            an affidavit in the form of Exhibit K hereto from the proposed transferee to the effect that such transferee is a Permitted Transferee and 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 who is not a Permitted Transferee; and
 
	
            (B)
 	
            a covenant of the proposed transferee to the effect that the proposed transferee agrees to be bound by and to abide by the transfer restrictions applicable to the Residual Certificates.
 

(iv)        Any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. If any purported transferee shall, in violation of the provisions of this Section, become a Holder of a Residual Certificate, then the prior Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee shall, upon discovery that the registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section, be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate.  The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by
this Section or for making any distributions due on such Residual Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Trustee received the documents specified in clause (iii).  The Trustee shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time such distributions were made all distributions made on such Residual Certificate. Any such distributions so recovered by the Trustee shall be distributed and delivered by the Trustee to the prior Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee.

(v)        If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then the Trustee shall have the right but not the obligation, without notice to the Holder of such Residual Certificate or any other Person having an Ownership Interest therein, to notify the Depositor to arrange for the sale of such Residual Certificate. The proceeds of such sale, net of commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Depositor or its affiliates in connection with such sale), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Trustee to the previous Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a 

 

Permitted Transferee, except that in the event that the Trustee determines that the Holder of such Residual Certificate may be liable for any amount due under this Section or any other  provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee may withhold a corresponding amount from such remittance as security for such claim. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (v) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Trustee and it shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.

(vi)        If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then the Trustee upon receipt of reasonable compensation will provide to the Internal Revenue Service, and to the persons specified in Sections 860E(e)(3) and (6) of the Code, information needed to compute the tax imposed under Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code on transfers of residual interests to disqualified organizations.

The foregoing provisions of this Section shall cease to apply to transfers occurring on or after the date on which there shall have been delivered to the Trustee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, (i) written notification from each Rating Agency that the removal of the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section will not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its rating of the Certificates and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such removal will not cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC.

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

All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled by the Certificate Registrar and disposed of pursuant to its standard procedures.

	
            SECTION 5.03
 	
            Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
 

If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee, the Depositor 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 notice to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute on behalf of the Trust, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar 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 and the Certificate Registrar) in connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section, shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust, 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.
 

Each Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent of either Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any Paying Agent may treat the Person, including a Depository, 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 Servicers, the Trust, the Trustee nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

	
            SECTION 5.05
 	
            Appointment of Paying Agent.
 

(a)        The Paying Agent shall make distributions to Certificateholders from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 4.01 and shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Trustee. The duties of the Paying Agent may include the obligation (i) to withdraw funds from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.11(a) and for the purpose of making the distributions referred to above and (ii) to distribute statements and provide information to Certificateholders as required hereunder. The Paying Agent hereunder shall at all times be an entity duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities. The Paying Agent shall initially be the Trustee. The
Trustee may appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent, which appointment shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor.

(b)        The Trustee shall cause the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that such Paying Agent shall hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Certificateholders and shall agree that it shall comply with all requirements of the Code regarding the withholding of payments in respect of Federal income taxes due from Certificate Owners and otherwise comply with the provisions of this Agreement applicable to it.

The Depositor shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Depositor.

	
            SECTION 6.02
 	
            Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, the Servicers or the Depositor.
 

Any entity into which either Servicer or the Depositor may be merged or consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which either Servicer or the Depositor shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the business of the related Servicer or the Depositor, shall be the successor of the related Servicer or the Depositor, 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 a successor Servicer shall satisfy all the requirements of Section 7.02 with respect to the qualifications of a successor Servicer.

	
            SECTION 6.03
 	
            Limitation on Liability of the Servicers and Others.
 

Neither the Servicers or the Depositor nor any of the directors or officers or employees or agents of the Servicers or the Depositor shall be under any liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action by the Servicers or the Depositor in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect either Servicer, the Depositor or any such Person against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties of the related Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be, or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties of the related Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be, hereunder. Each Servicer and any director or officer or employee or agent of each
Servicer 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. Each Servicer and the Depositor, and any director or officer or employee or agent of each Servicer or the Depositor, shall be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with (i) any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or by reason of its reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder or by reason of its failure to perform its obligations or duties hereunder and (ii) any breach of a representation or warranty regarding the Mortgage Loans.

Servicer acts without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights, the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust and the related Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the related 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 related Collection Account.  The Servicers’ right to indemnity or reimbursement pursuant to this Section shall survive any resignation or termination of either Servicer pursuant to Section 6.04 or 7.01 with respect to any losses, expenses, costs or liabilities arising prior to such resignation or termination (or arising from events that occurred prior to such resignation or termination).
This paragraph shall apply to either Servicer solely in its capacity as Servicer hereunder and in no other capacities.  Without limiting the foregoing, each Servicer shall undertake to defend any claims against the Trust Fund, the Trustee and/or itself initiated by a Borrower or otherwise related to the servicing of any Mortgage Loan serviced by it, the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust and the related 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.

            Servicer Not to Resign.
 

Neither Servicer shall resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law.  Any such determination pursuant to the preceding sentence permitting the resignation of either Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect obtained at the expense of the related Servicer and delivered to the Trustee.  No resignation of either Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer shall have assumed the related 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, neither Servicer shall 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 related Servicer hereunder. The foregoing prohibition on assignment shall not prohibit either Servicer from designating a Sub-Servicer as payee of any indemnification amount payable to the related Servicer hereunder; provided, however, 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
 	
            Delegation of Duties.
 

In the ordinary course of business, each Servicer at any time may delegate any of its duties hereunder to any Person, including any of its Affiliates, who agrees to conduct such duties in accordance with standards comparable to those set forth in Section 3.01. Such delegation shall not relieve either Servicer of its liabilities and responsibilities with respect to 

 

such duties and shall not constitute a resignation within the meaning of Section 6.04.  Except as provided in Section 3.02, no such delegation is permitted that results in the delegee subservicing any Mortgage Loans. Each Servicer shall provide the Trustee with 60 days prior written notice prior to the delegation of any of its duties to any Person other than any of the Servicer’s Affiliates or their respective successors and assigns.

	
            SECTION 6.06
 	
            Reserved.
 	
             

	
            SECTION 6.07
 	
            Inspection.
 

Each Servicer, in its capacity as a Servicer, shall afford the Trustee, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours, access to all records maintained by the related Servicer in respect of its rights and obligations hereunder and access to officers of the related Servicer responsible for such obligations.

            SECTION 7.01
 	
            Servicer Events of Termination.
 

(a)        With respect to each Servicer, individually, if any one of the following events (“Servicer Events of Termination”) shall occur and be continuing:

(i)         (A) The failure by the Servicer to make any Advance; or (B) any other failure by the Servicer to deposit in the Collection Account or the Distribution Account any deposit required to be made under the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of one Business Day after the date upon which written notice of such failure shall have been given to the Servicer by the Trustee or to the Servicer and the Trustee by any Holders of a Regular Certificate evidencing at least 25% of the Voting Rights; or

(ii)         The failure by the Servicer to make any required Servicing Advance which failure continues unremedied for a period of 30 days, or the failure by the Servicer duly to observe or perform, in any material respect, any other covenants, obligations or agreements of the Servicer as set forth in this Agreement, which failure 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 date (A) on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Trustee or to the Trustee by any
Holders of a Regular Certificate evidencing at least 25% of the Voting Rights or (B) of actual knowledge of such failure by a Servicing Officer of the Servicer; or

(iii)        The entry against the Servicer of a decree or order by a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a trustee, conservator, receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, conservatorship, receivership, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 days; or

(iv)        The Servicer shall voluntarily go into liquidation, consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator or similar person in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator or similar person in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in 

 

force undischarged, unbonded or unstayed for a period of 60 days; or 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;

(b)        then, and in each and every such case, so long as a Servicer Event of Termination shall not have been remedied within the applicable grace period, (x) with respect solely to clause (i)(A) above, if such Advance is not made by 11:00 A.M., New York time, on the Business Day immediately following the Servicer Remittance Date (provided the Trustee shall give the related Servicer, and the related Servicer shall have received, notice of such failure to advance by 5:00 P.M. New York time on the Servicer Remittance Date), the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the related Servicer under this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, and in and to the related Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof and the Trustee, or a successor servicer appointed in accordance with Section 7.02, shall immediately make such Advance and
assume, pursuant to Section 7.02, the duties of a successor Servicer and (y) in the case of (i)(B), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, the Trustee shall, at the direction of the Holders of each Class of Regular Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 51%, by notice then given in writing to the related Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by Holders of Certificates), terminate all of the rights and obligations of the related Servicer as Servicer under this Agreement. Any such notice to the related Servicer shall also be given to each Rating Agency, the Depositor and the other Servicer. On or after the receipt by the related Servicer (and by the Trustee if such notice is given by the Holders) of such written notice, all authority and power of such Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates or the related Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section; and, without limitation,
and the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of each Mortgage Loan and related documents or otherwise.  Each Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee (or the applicable successor Servicer) in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the related Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the delivery to the Trustee of all documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume such Servicer’s functions under this Agreement within ten Business Days subsequent to such notice, the transfer within one Business Day subsequent to such notice to the Trustee (or the applicable successor Servicer) for the administration by it of all cash
amounts that shall at the time be held by the related Servicer and to be deposited by it in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, any REO Account or any Escrow Account or that have been deposited by the related Servicer in such accounts or thereafter received by the related Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property received by the related Servicer. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with transferring the Mortgage Files to the successor Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as a Servicer pursuant to this Section shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer (or if the predecessor Servicer is the Trustee, the initial related Servicer) upon 

 

presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses and to the extent not paid by the related Servicer, by the Trust.

Notwithstanding the termination of the Servicer hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of all unpaid Servicing Fees and all unreimbursed Advances and Servicing Advances in the manner and at the times set forth herein and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.03 with respect to events occurring prior to such termination.

	
            SECTION 7.02
 	
            Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
 

(a)        From the time either Servicer (and the Trustee, if notice is sent by the Holders) receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01 or 6.04, the Trustee (or such other successor Servicer as is approved in accordance with this Agreement) shall be the successor in all respects to such Servicer in its capacity as a Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on such Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof arising on and after its succession. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that the Trustee, in its capacity as a successor Servicer, immediately will assume all of the obligations of the related Servicer to make advances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee, in its
capacity as a successor Servicer, shall not be responsible for the lack of information and/or documents that it cannot obtain through reasonable efforts. It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the transition of servicing obligations is fully effective.  As compensation therefor, the Trustee (or such other successor Servicer) shall be entitled to such compensation as the related Servicer would have been entitled to hereunder if no such notice of termination had been given. Notwithstanding the above, (i) if the Trustee is unwilling to act as a successor Servicer or (ii) if the Trustee is legally unable so to act, the Trustee shall appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance institution, bank or other mortgage loan or home equity loan servicer having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 as the successor to the related Servicer hereunder in
the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the related Servicer hereunder; provided, that the appointment of any such successor Servicer will not result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the ratings assigned to the Certificates by the Rating Agencies as evidenced by a letter to such effect from the Rating Agencies. Pending appointment of a successor to the related Servicer hereunder, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the successor shall be entitled to receive compensation out of payments on the related Mortgage Loans in an amount equal to the compensation which the related Servicer would otherwise have received pursuant to Section 3.18 (or such other compensation as the Trustee and such successor shall agree, not to exceed the Servicing Fee). The appointment of a successor Servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Servicer which may
have arisen under this Agreement prior to its termination as a Servicer to pay any deductible under an insurance policy pursuant to Section 3.14 or to reimburse the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.06), nor shall any successor Servicer be liable for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Servicer or for any breach by such Servicer of any of its representations or warranties contained herein or in any related document or agreement.  The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, 

 

consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.  All Servicing Transfer Costs shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs, and if such predecessor Servicer 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).

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

(c)        In connection with the termination or resignation of either Servicer hereunder, either (i) the successor servicer, including the Trustee if the Trustee is acting as a successor Servicer, shall  represent and warrant that it is a member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply in all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing of the related Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS, in which case the predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer in causing MERS to revise its records to reflect the transfer of servicing to the successor Servicer as necessary under MERS’ rules and regulations, or (ii) the predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer in causing MERS to execute and deliver an Assignment in recordable form to transfer the
Mortgage from MERS to the Trustee and to execute and deliver such other notices, documents and other instruments as may be necessary or desirable to effect a transfer of such Mortgage Loan or servicing of such Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System to the successor Servicer.  The predecessor Servicer (or, if the Trustee is the predecessor Servicer, the related initial Servicer) shall file or cause to be filed any such Assignment in the appropriate recording office.  The predecessor Servicer shall bear any and all fees of MERS, costs of preparing any Assignments, and fees and costs of filing any Assignments that may be required under this Section 7.02(c).

	
            SECTION 7.03
 	
            Waiver of Defaults.
 

The Majority Certificateholders may, on behalf of all Certificateholders, waive any events permitting removal of either Servicer as a Servicer pursuant to this Article VII, provided, however, that the Majority Certificateholders may not waive a default in making a required distribution on a Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate. Upon any waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist and any Servicer Event of Termination arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto except to the extent expressly so waived. Notice of any such waiver shall be given by the Trustee to the Rating Agencies.

 

 

	
            SECTION 7.04
 	
            Notification to Certificateholders.
 

(a)        Upon any termination or appointment of a successor to either Servicer pursuant to this Article VII or Section 6.04, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and each Rating Agency.

(b)        No later than 60 days after the occurrence of any event which constitutes or which, with notice or a lapse of time or both, would constitute a Servicer Event of Termination for five Business 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 Certificateholders notice of such occurrence unless such default or Servicer Event of Termination shall have been waived or cured.

	
            SECTION 7.05
 	
            Survivability of Servicer Liabilities.
 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon termination of either Servicer hereunder, any liabilities of the related Servicer which accrued prior to such termination shall survive such termination.

 

 

ARTICLE VIII

 

THE TRUSTEE

	
            SECTION 8.01
 	
            Duties of Trustee.
 

The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination and after the curing of all Servicer Events of Termination which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. If a Servicer Event of Termination has occurred (which has not been cured) of which a Responsible Officer has knowledge, 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 man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

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 to the requirements of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee will not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents or other instruments. If any such instrument is found not to conform 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 the Trustee’s satisfaction, the Trustee 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 Termination, and after the curing of all such Servicer Events of Termination 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 and conforming 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 of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

(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 

 

Majority Certificateholders relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising or omitting to exercise any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement; and

(iv)        the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any failure by either Servicer to comply with the obligations of the related Servicer referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 7.01(a) or of the existence of any Servicer Event of of Termination unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office obtains actual knowledge of such failure or the Trustee receives written notice of such failure from the Depositor, either Servicer or the Majority Certificateholders.

The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of either 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 related 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, and the manner of obtaining consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe;

(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 be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights 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 reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; the right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall 

 

not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of any such act;

(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 Termination and after the curing of all Servicer Events of Termination which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or documents, unless requested in writing to do so by the Majority Certificateholder; 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 the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such
cost, expense or liability as a condition to such proceeding.  The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the related Servicer or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the related Servicer upon demand and, if not reimbursed by such Servicer, shall be reimbursed by the Trust. Nothing in this clause (v) shall derogate from the obligation of the related Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors;

(vi)        the Trustee shall not be accountable, shall have no liability and makes no representation as to any acts or omissions hereunder of either Servicer until such time as the Trustee may be required to act as a Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 and thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the Trustee as a successor Servicer;

(vii)       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, custodians or nominees;

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

(ix)        the Trustee shall not be personally liable for any loss resulting from the investment of funds held in the Collection Account or the REO Account made at the direction of the related Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12; and

(x)        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 3.11.

In order to comply with its duties under the U.S. Patriot Act, the Trustee shall obtain and verify certain information and documentation from the other parties hereto, including, but not limited to, such parties’ name, address and other identifying information.

	
            SECTION 8.03
 	
            Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
 

The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates (other than the signature and authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan or related document or MERS or the MERS® System other than with respect to the Trustee’s execution and authentication of the Certificates. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by either Servicer, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the related Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the related Collection Account by the related Servicer. The Trustee
shall at no time have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of any Mortgage or any Mortgage Loan, or the perfection and priority of any Mortgage or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Trust or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to Certificateholders under this Agreement, including, without limitation: the existence, condition and ownership of any Mortgaged Property; the existence and enforceability of any hazard insurance thereon (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of a Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02); the validity of the assignment of any Mortgage Loan to the Trustee or of any intervening assignment; the completeness of any Mortgage Loan; the performance or enforcement of any Mortgage Loan (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of either Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02); the compliance by the Depositor, the
Originator, the Seller or the Servicers with any warranty or representation made under this Agreement or in any related document or the accuracy of any such warranty or representation prior to the Trustee’s receipt of notice or other discovery of any non-compliance therewith or any breach thereof; any investment of monies by or at the direction of either Servicer or any loss resulting therefrom, it being understood that the Trustee shall remain responsible for any Trust property that it may hold in its individual capacity; the acts or omissions of either of the Servicers (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of a Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02), any Sub-Servicer or any Mortgagor; any action of either Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of a Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02), or any Sub-Servicer taken in the name of the Trustee; the failure of a Servicer or any Sub-Servicer to act or perform any duties required of it as agent of the Trustee
hereunder; or any action by the Trustee taken at the instruction of either Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of a Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve the Trustee of its obligation to perform its duties under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Trustee’s duty to review the Mortgage Files pursuant to Section 2.01. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement 

 

in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder (unless the Trustee shall have become a successor Servicer).

	
            SECTION 8.04
 	
            Trustee May Own Certificates.
 

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it were not Trustee and may transact any banking and trust business with the Originator, either Servicer, the Depositor or their Affiliates.

	
            SECTION 8.05
 	
            Trustee Compensation, Custodian Fee and Expenses.
 

(a)        The Trustee shall withdraw from the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date and pay to itself the Trustee Compensation prior to making any distributions to Certificateholders. The Trustee shall be provided a copy of the separate fee schedule between the Depositor and the Custodian.  The Trustee shall withdraw from the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date and pay to the Custodian, the Custodian Fee prior to making any distributions to Certificateholders.

(b)        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 and disbursements 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 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 either Servicer’s obligations and duties under this Agreement for which the Trustee is indemnified under Section 8.05(b) or (ii) any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Trustee in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of the Trustee’s reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder or as a result of a breach of the Trustee’s obligations under Article X hereof.  It is understood by the parties hereto that a “claim” as used in the preceding sentence includes any claim for indemnification made by the Custodian under Section 22 of the Custodial Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not lose any right it may have to indemnification under this Section 8.05 due to the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Custodian in the performance of its duties under the Custodial Agreement or by reason of the Custodian’s reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the Custodial Agreement.  Any amounts payable to the Trustee, or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee, in respect of the indemnification provided by this
Section 8.05(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.  The foregoing indemnity shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

 

 

(c)        Each Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee from, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense resulting from a breach of the related 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 and the related Servicer for actions prior to such resignation or removal. Any payment hereunder made by either Servicer to the Trustee shall be from the related Servicer’s own funds, without reimbursement from the Trust Fund therefor.

	
            SECTION 8.06
 	
            Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
 

The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be an entity duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such entity publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.06, the combined capital and surplus of such entity shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The principal office of the Trustee (other than the initial Trustee) shall be in a state with respect to which an Opinion of Counsel has been delivered to such Trustee at the
time such Trustee is appointed Trustee to the effect that the Trust will not be a taxable entity under the laws of such state. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.

	
            SECTION 8.07
 	
            Resignation or Removal of Trustee.
 

The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Servicers and each Rating Agency. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor Trustee. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed and having 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 if at any time the Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged a 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 or the Servicers may remove the Trustee. If the Depositor or the Servicers removes the Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee.

 

 

The Majority Certificateholders may at any time remove the Trustee by written instrument or instruments delivered to the Servicers, the Depositor and the Trustee; the Depositor shall thereupon use its best efforts to appoint a successor trustee in accordance with this Section.

Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 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 Servicers 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 like effect as if originally named as Trustee. The Depositor, the Servicers and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

No successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.08 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 the Regular 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 8.08, the successor Trustee shall mail notice of the appointment of a successor Trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register and to each Rating Agency.

	
            SECTION 8.09
 	
            Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
 

Any entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such entity shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 and 8.08, 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 of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust or any Mortgaged Property may at the time be located, the Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons 

 

approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicers and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. Any such co-trustee or separate trustee shall be subject to the written approval of the Servicers. If the Servicers shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in the case a Servicer Event of Termination 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, and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 8.08.  The related Servicer shall be responsible for the fees of any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed hereunder.

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

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

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

(iii)        the Servicers and the Trustee, acting jointly, may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee except that following the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination, the Trustee acting alone may accept the resignation or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

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

 

Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Depositor and the Servicers.

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
 	
            Limitation of Liability.
 

The Certificates are executed by the Trustee, not in its individual capacity but solely as Trustee of the Trust, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it by the Trust Agreement. Each of the undertakings and agreements made on the part of the Trustee in the Certificates is made and intended not as a personal undertaking or agreement by the Trustee but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Trust.

	
            SECTION 8.12
 	
            Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Certificates.
 

(a)        All rights of action and claims under this Agreement or the Certificates may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Certificates or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name or in its capacity as Trustee for the benefit of all Holders of such Certificates, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursement and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Certificateholders in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

(b)        The Trustee shall afford the Seller, the Depositor, the Servicers and each Certificateholder upon reasonable prior notice during normal business hours, access to all records maintained by the Trustee in respect of its duties hereunder and access to officers of the Trustee responsible for performing such duties. Upon request, the Trustee shall furnish the Depositor, the Servicers and any requesting Certificateholder with its most recent financial statements. The Trustee shall cooperate fully with the Seller, the Servicers, the Depositor and such Certificateholder and shall make available to the Seller, the Servicers, the Depositor and such Certificateholder for review and copying such books, documents or records as may be requested with respect to the Trustee’s duties hereunder. The Seller, the Depositor, the Servicers and the
Certificateholders shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Trustee and are not obligated to supervise the performance of the Trustee under this Agreement or otherwise.

 

 

	
            SECTION 8.13
 	
            Suits for Enforcement.
 

In case a Servicer Event of Termination or other default by a Servicer or the Depositor hereunder shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee, shall, at the direction of the Majority Certificateholders, or may, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Certificateholders under this Agreement by a suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law or otherwise, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or in aid of the execution of any power granted in this Agreement or for the enforcement of any other legal, equitable or other remedy, as the Trustee, being advised by counsel, and subject to the foregoing, shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of the rights of the Trustee and the Certificateholders.

	
            SECTION 8.14
 	
            Waiver of Bond Requirement.
 

The Trustee shall be relieved of, and each Certificateholder hereby waives, any requirement of any jurisdiction in which the Trust, or any part thereof, may be located that the Trustee post a bond or other surety with any court, agency or body whatsoever.

	
            SECTION 8.15
 	
            Waiver of Inventory, Accounting and Appraisal Requirement.
 

The Trustee shall be relieved of, and each Certificateholder hereby waives, any requirement of any jurisdiction in which the Trust, or any part thereof, may be located that the Trustee file any inventory, accounting or appraisal of the Trust with any court, agency or body at any time or in any manner whatsoever.

	
            SECTION 8.16
 	
            Appointment of the Custodian.
 

The Trustee shall, at the direction of the Depositor and with the consent of the Servicer, appoint the Custodian to hold all or a portion of the Mortgage Files.  The appointment of the Custodian may at any time be terminated and a substitute Custodian appointed therefor at the direction of the Depositor to the Trustee, the consent to which shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The Custodian shall be entititled to its fees and expenses in accordance with the Custodial Agreement, which fees and expenses shall be paid to the Custodian from the Trust in accordance with Section 8.05.  Subject to Article VIII hereof, the Trustee agrees to comply with the terms of the Custodial Agreement, which agreement may be amended from time to time, and shall have the right to enforce the terms and provisions thereof against the Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders having an interest in any
Mortgage File held by the Custodian.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Custodian is not an agent of the Trustee and in no event shall the Trustee be liable for any acts, omission, duties, obligations, or liabilities of the Custodian.  In no event shall the appointment of the Custodian pursuant to the Custodial Agreement diminish the obligations of the Trustee hereunder.

            SECTION 9.01
 	
            REMIC Administration.
 

(a)        REMIC elections as set forth in the Preliminary Statement shall be made by the Trustee on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued. The regular interests and residual interest in each REMIC shall be as designated in the Preliminary Statement.

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

(c)        The Trustee shall pay any and all expenses relating to any tax audit of any REMIC (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), including the expense of obtaining any tax related Opinion of Counsel.  The Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement of expenses incurred pursuant to this Section 9.01(c) to the extent provided in Section 8.05.

(d)        The Trustee shall prepare, sign and file, all of the REMICs’ federal and state tax and information returns (including Form 8811) as the direct representative each REMIC created hereunder. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Trustee.

(e)        The Holder of the Class R Certificate at any time holding the largest Percentage Interest thereof shall be the “tax matters person” as defined in the REMIC Provisions (the related “Tax Matters Person”) with respect to REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC 3 and shall act as Tax Matters Person for REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC 3.  The Holder of the Class R-X Certificate at any time holding the largest Percentage Interest thereof shall be the Tax Matters Person with respect to REMIC 4 and REMIC 5 and shall act as Tax Matters Person for REMIC 4 and REMIC 5.  The Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall perform on behalf of each 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, if required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other such guidance, the Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall provide (i) to the Treasury or other governmental authority such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to any disqualified person or organization and (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or REMIC Provisions.  The Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall represent each REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of any REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any government 

 

taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any item of any REMIC and otherwise act on behalf of any REMIC in relation to any tax matter involving the Trust.

(f)         The Trustee, the Servicers and the Holders of Certificates shall take any action or cause any REMIC to take any action necessary to create or maintain the status of each REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to create or maintain such status. None of the Trustee, the Servicers or the Holder of any Residual Certificate shall take any action, cause any REMIC created hereunder 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 such REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon such REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) and the tax on prohibited contributions set forth
on Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Trustee and the Servicers have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC created hereunder or the assets therein, or causing such REMIC to take any action, which is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, any Holder of a Residual Certificate will consult with the Trustee and the Servicers, or their respective designees, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any REMIC, and no such Person shall take any such action or cause any REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee or the Servicers has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.

(g)        Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed on each REMIC created hereunder by federal or state governmental authorities. To the extent that such Trust taxes are not paid by a Residual Certificateholder, the Trustee shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Residual Certificate in the REMICs or, if no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in the Distribution Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to Holders of regular interests in the related REMIC.  Subject to the foregoing, in the event that a REMIC incurs a state or local tax, including franchise taxes, as a result of a determination that such REMIC is domiciled in the State of California for state tax purposes by virtue of the location of either
Servicer, the related Servicer agrees to pay on behalf of such REMIC when due, any and all state and local taxes imposed as a result of such a determination, in the event that the Holder of the related Residual Certificate fails to pay such taxes, if any, when imposed.

(h)        The Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC created hereunder on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.

(i)         No additional contributions of assets shall be made to any REMIC created hereunder, except as expressly provided in this Agreement with respect to eligible substitute mortgage loans.

 

 

(j)         Neither the Trustee nor the Servicers shall enter into any arrangement by which any REMIC created hereunder will receive a fee or other compensation for services.

(k)        On or before April 15 of each calendar year beginning in 2006, each Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and each Rating Agency an Officers’ Certificate stating such Servicer’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.01.

(l)         The Trustee will apply for an Employee Identification Number from the Internal Revenue Service via a Form SS-4 or other acceptable method for all tax entities and shall complete the Form 8811.

	
            SECTION 9.02
 	
            Prohibited Transactions and Activities.
 

None of the Depositor, the Servicers or the Trustee shall sell, dispose of, or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans, except in a disposition pursuant to (i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Trust Fund, (iii) the termination of any REMIC created hereunder pursuant to Article X of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant to Article II of this Agreement or (v) a repurchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II of this Agreement, nor acquire any assets for any REMIC, nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Distribution Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to either REMIC after the Closing Date, unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party causing such sale, disposition, or substitution) that such disposition, acquisition, substitution, or acceptance will not (a) affect adversely the status of any REMIC
created hereunder as a REMIC or of the interests therein other than the Residual Certificates as the regular interests therein, (b) affect the distribution of interest or principal on the Certificates, (c) result in the encumbrance of the assets transferred or assigned to the Trust Fund (except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement) or (d) cause any REMIC created hereunder to be subject to a tax on prohibited transactions or prohibited contributions pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

	
            SECTION 9.03
 	
            Indemnification with Respect to Certain Taxes and Loss of REMIC Status.
 

(a)        In the event that any REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a result of a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC Provisions due to the negligent performance by either Servicer of its duties and obligations set forth herein, the related Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee and the Trust Fund against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (“Losses”) resulting from such negligence; provided, however, that the related Servicer shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Trustee, the Depositor, another Servicer or the Holder of such Residual Certificate, as applicable, nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of such Residual Certificate on
which the related Servicer has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of the Holder of such Residual Certificate now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the related Servicer have any liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and in compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this Agreement, (2) 

 

for any Losses other than arising out of a negligent performance by the related Servicer of its duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the Certificates).

(b)        In the event that any REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a result of a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC Provisions due to the negligent performance by the Trustee of its duties and obligations set forth herein, the Trustee shall indemnify the Servicers and the Trust Fund against any and all Losses resulting from such negligence; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of either Servicer, the Depositor or the Holder of such Residual Certificate, as applicable, nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of such Residual Certificate on which the Trustee has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights
and remedies of the Holder of such Residual Certificate now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Trustee have any liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and in compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than arising out of a negligent performance by the Trustee of its duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the Certificates).

 

 

ARTICLE X

 

TERMINATION

	
            SECTION 10.01
 	
            Termination.
 

(a)        The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicers, the Depositor and the Trustee created hereby (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make certain payments to Certificateholders after the final Distribution Date and the obligation of the Servicers to send certain notices as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balances of the Regular Certificates have been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, (iii) the optional purchase by the Terminator of the Mortgage Loans as described below and (iv) the Distribution Date in July 2035.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond 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’s, living on the date hereof.

Each Servicer (in such context, the “Terminator”), may, at its option, terminate this Agreement on any date on which the aggregate of the Stated Principal Balances 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) on such date is equal to or less than 10% of the sum of (i) the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Initial Mortgage Loans on the Cut-off Date and (ii) the Original Pre-Funded Amounts, by purchasing, on the next succeeding Distribution Date, all of the outstanding Mortgage Loans and REO Properties at a price equal to the greater of (i) 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 value of the REO Properties and (ii) fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (as determined and as agreed upon in their good faith business judgment 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 10.01(c) by (x) the Terminator, (y) the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class C Certificates and (z) if the Floating Rate Certificates will not receive all amounts owed to it as a result of the termination, the Trustee, provided that if this clause (z) applies to such determination, notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, such determination shall be based solely upon an appraisal obtained as provided in the last sentence of this paragraph), 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 result in the payment of 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 and agreed upon by the Terminator, the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class C Certificates and the Trustee as provided in (ii) above in their good faith business judgment, such determination shall be based on an appraisal of the value of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties conducted by an independent appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Terminator, the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class C Certificates and the Trustee in their reasonable discretion, and (A) such appraisal shall be obtained at no expense to the Trustee and (B) notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, the Trustee may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, such appraisal.

In connection with any such purchase pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Terminator shall deposit in the Distribution Account all amounts then on deposit in the Collection Accounts, which deposit shall be deemed to have occurred immediately preceding such purchase.

Any such purchase shall be accomplished by deposit into the Distribution Account on the Determination Date before such Distribution Date of the Termination Price.

(b)        Notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date (which shall be a date that would otherwise be a Distribution Date) upon which the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee upon the Trustee receiving notice of such date from the Terminator, by letter to the Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month of such final distribution specifying (1) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution of the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein
designated, (2) the amount of any such final distribution and (3) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified.

(c)        Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall cause to be distributed to the Holders of the Certificates on the Distribution Date for such final distribution, in proportion to the Percentage Interests of their respective Class and to the extent that funds are available for such purpose, an amount equal to the amount required to be distributed to such Holders in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01 for such Distribution Date. By acceptance of the Residual Certificates, the Holders of the Residual Certificates agree, in connection with any termination hereunder, to assign and transfer any amounts in excess of the par value of the Mortgage Loans, and to the extent received in respect of such termination, to pay any such amounts to the Holders of the Class C Certificates.

(d)        In the event that all Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates for final payment and cancellation on or before such final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall promptly following such date cause all funds in the Distribution Account not distributed in final 

 

distribution to Certificateholders to be withdrawn therefrom and credited to the remaining Certificateholders by depositing such funds in a separate Escrow Account for the benefit of such Certificateholders, and the related Servicer (if either Servicer has exercised its right to purchase the Mortgage Loans) or the Trustee (in any other case) shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within nine months after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Residual Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets which remain subject hereto, and the Trustee upon transfer of such funds shall be discharged of any responsibility for such funds, and the Certificateholders shall look to the Residual
Certificateholders for payment.

	
            SECTION 10.02
 	
            Additional Termination Requirements.
 

(a)        In the event that the Terminator exercises its purchase option as provided in Section 10.01, each REMIC shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee shall have been furnished with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the failure of the Trust to comply with the requirements of this Section will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of the Trust as defined in Section 860F of the Code or (ii) cause any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

	
            SECTION 11.01
 	
            Amendment.
 

This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee; and without the consent of the Certificateholders (i) to cure any ambiguity, (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein (iii) to amend the provisions of Section 3.22(b) or (iv) 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 or (b) written notice to the Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee from each Rating Agency 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, adversely
affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder.  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 Servicers and the Trustee from the Rating Agencies will be required in connection with an amendment to the provisions of Section 3.22(b).

In addition, this Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee with the consent of the Majority Certificateholders 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 or waiver shall (x) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments on the Certificates or distributions which are required to be made on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (y) 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 Servicers and the Trustee from each Rating
Agency 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 clause (x) above, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing at least a 66% Percentage Interest in such Class, or (z) reduce the percentage of Voting Rights required by clause (y) above without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding. Upon approval of an amendment, a copy of such amendment shall be sent to the Rating Agencies.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel, delivered by (and at the expense of) the Person seeking such Amendment, to the effect that such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any REMIC 

 

created hereunder constituting part of the Trust Fund pursuant to the REMIC Provisions or cause any REMIC created hereunder constituting part of the Trust to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding and that the amendment is being made in accordance with the terms hereof.

Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee shall furnish, at the expense of the Person that requested the amendment if such Person is a Servicer (but in no event at the expense of the Trustee), otherwise at the expense of the Trust, a copy of such amendment and the Opinion of Counsel referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph to the Servicers and each Rating Agency.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 11.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment; instead 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 Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any amendment pursuant to this Section 11.01 that affects its rights, duties and immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.

	
            SECTION 11.02
 	
            Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.
 

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

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

	
            SECTION 11.03
 	
            Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.
 

The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not (i) operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust, (ii) 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, or (iii) otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.

Except as expressly provided for herein, no Certificateholder shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust, 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 person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.

No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for 15 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or
proceeding. It is understood and intended, and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever 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, which priority or preference is not otherwise provided for herein, 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 11.03 each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

            SECTION 11.09
 	
            Further Assurances.
 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither the Regular Certificateholders nor the Trustee shall have any obligation to consent to any amendment or modification of this Agreement unless they have been provided reasonable security or indemnity against their out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) to be incurred in connection therewith.

	
            SECTION 11.10
 	
            Benefits of Agreement.
 

Nothing in this Agreement or in the Certificates, expressed or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the Certificateholders and the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement.

	
            SECTION 11.11
 	
            Acts of Certificateholders.
 

(a)        Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by the Certificateholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Certificateholders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing, and such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and the Servicers. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced 

 

thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “act” of the Certificateholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Trust, if made in the manner provided in this Section 11.11.

Whenever such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his or her individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority.

(c)        Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by any Certificateholder shall bind every future Holder of such Certificate and the Holder of every Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Trust in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Certificate.

Principal in respect of this Certificate is distributable monthly as set forth herein. Accordingly, the Certificate Principal Balance of this Class A-1 Certificate at any time may be less than the Initial Certificate Principal Balance set forth on the face hereof, as described herein.

The Trust was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of May 1, 2005 (the “Agreement”) among the Depositor, Centex Home Equity Company, LLC and Saxon Mortgage Services, Inc. as servicers (the “Servicers”), and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, a national banking association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.
This Class A-1 Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Class A-1 Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Class A-1 Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

This Class A-1 Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose unless manually countersigned by an authorized signatory of the Trustee.

 

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

[Reverse of Class A-1 Certificate]

Soundview Home Loan Trust 2005-2

Asset-Backed Certificates,

SERIES 2005-2

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Soundview Home Loan Trust 2005-2, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2005-2 (herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust created by the Agreement.

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

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

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, then the Business Day immediately following such Distribution Date (the “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the Certificate Register or by wire transfer or otherwise, as set forth in the Agreement. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trustee or the Trustee’s agent specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee and of Holders of the requisite percentage of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by such amendment, as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

 

 

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

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

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicers 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 Trustee, the Servicers or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

On any Distribution Date following the date at which the remaining aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the sum of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Original Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date and the Original Pre-Funded Amounts, the Servicers may purchase, in whole, from the Trust the Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement. In the event that no such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balances of the Regular Certificates have been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, (iii) the optional purchase by the Servicers of the Mortgage Loans as described in the Agreement and (iv)
the Distribution Date in July 2035.

Capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed inconsistent with that meaning.

[Reverse of Class A-2 Certificate]

Soundview Home Loan Trust 2005-2

Asset-Backed Certificates,

SERIES 2005-2

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Soundview Home Loan Trust 2005-2, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2005-2 (herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust created by the Agreement.

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

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

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, then the Business Day immediately following such Distribution Date (the “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the Certificate Register or by wire transfer or otherwise, as set forth in the Agreement. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trustee or the Trustee’s agent specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee and of Holders of the requisite percentage of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by such amendment, as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

 

 

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

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

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicers 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 Trustee, the Servicers or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

On any Distribution Date following the date at which the remaining aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the sum of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Original Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date and the Original Pre-Funded Amounts, the Servicers may purchase, in whole, from the Trust the Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement. In the event that no such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balances of the Regular Certificates have been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, (iii) the optional purchase by the Servicers of the Mortgage Loans as described in the Agreement and (iv)
the Distribution Date in July 2035.

Capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed inconsistent with that meaning.

SERIES 2005-2

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Soundview Home Loan Trust 2005-2, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2005-2 (herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust created by the Agreement.

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

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

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, then the Business Day immediately following such Distribution Date (the “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the Certificate Register or by wire transfer or otherwise, as set forth in the Agreement. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trustee or the Trustee’s agent specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee and of Holders of the requisite percentage of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by such amendment, as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

 

 

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

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

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

[Reverse of Class A-4 Certificate]

Soundview Home Loan Trust 2005-2

Asset-Backed Certificates,

SERIES 2005-2

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Soundview Home Loan Trust 2005-2, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2005-2 (herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust created by the Agreement.

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

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

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, then the Business Day immediately following such Distribution Date (the “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the Certificate Register or by wire transfer or otherwise, as set forth in the Agreement. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trustee or the Trustee’s agent specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee and of Holders of the requisite percentage of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by such amendment, as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

 

 

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

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

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicers 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 Trustee, the Servicers or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

On any Distribution Date following the date at which the remaining aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the sum of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Original Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date and the Original Pre-Funded Amounts, the Servicers may purchase, in whole, from the Trust the Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement. In the event that no such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balances of the Regular Certificates have been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, (iii) the optional purchase by the Servicers of the Mortgage Loans as described in the Agreement and (iv)
the Distribution Date in July 2035.

Capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed inconsistent with that meaning.

Soundview Home Loan Trust 2005-2

Asset-Backed Certificates,

SERIES 2005-2

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Soundview Home Loan Trust 2005-2, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2005-2 herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust created by the Agreement.

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

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

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, then the Business Day immediately following such Distribution Date (the “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the Certificate Register or by wire transfer or otherwise, as set forth in the Agreement. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trustee or the Trustee’s agent specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee and of Holders of the requisite percentage of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by such amendment, as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

 

 

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

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

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicers 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 Trustee, the Servicers or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

On any Distribution Date following the date at which the remaining aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the sum of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Original Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date and the Original Pre-Funded Amounts, the Servicers may purchase, in whole, from the Trust the Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement. In the event that no such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balances of the Regular Certificates have been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, (iii) the optional purchase by the Servicers of the Mortgage Loans as described in the Agreement and (iv)
the Distribution Date in  July 2035.

Capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed inconsistent with that meaning.

Asset-Backed Certificates,

SERIES 2005-2

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Soundview Home Loan Trust 2005-2, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2005-2 (herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust created by the Agreement.

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

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

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, then the Business Day immediately following such Distribution Date (the “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the Certificate Register or by wire transfer or otherwise, as set forth in the Agreement. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trustee or the Trustee’s agent specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee and of Holders of the requisite percentage of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by such amendment, as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

 

 

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

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

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicers 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 Trustee, the Servicers or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

On any Distribution Date following the date at which the remaining aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the sum of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Original Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date and the Original Pre-Funded Amounts, the Servicers may purchase, in whole, from the Trust the Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement. In the event that no such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balances of the Regular Certificates have been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, (iii) the optional purchase by the Servicers of the Mortgage Loans as described in the Agreement and (iv)
the Distribution Date in July 2035.

FINANCIAL ASSET SECURITIES CORP., AS DEPOSITOR

Principal in respect of this Certificate is distributable monthly as set forth herein. Accordingly, the Certificate Principal Balance of this Class M-3 Certificate at any time may be less than the Initial Certificate Principal Balance set forth on the face hereof, as described herein.

The Trust was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of May 1, 2005 (the “Agreement”) among the Depositor, Centex Home Equity Company, LLC and Saxon Mortgage Services, Inc., as servicers (the “Servicers”), and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, a national banking association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.
This Class M-3 Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Class M-3 Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Class M-3 Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

This Class M-3 Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose unless manually countersigned by an authorized signatory of the Trustee.

 

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

[Reverse of Class M-3 Certificate]

Soundview Home Loan Trust 2005-2

Asset-Backed Certificates,

SERIES 2005-2

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Soundview Home Loan Trust 2005-2, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2005-2 (herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust created by the Agreement.

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

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

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, then the Business Day immediately following such Distribution Date (the “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the Certificate Register or by wire transfer or otherwise, as set forth in the Agreement. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trustee or the Trustee’s agent specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee and of Holders of the requisite percentage of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by such amendment, as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

 

 

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

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

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicers 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 Trustee, the Servicers or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

On any Distribution Date following the date at which the remaining aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the sum of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Original Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date and the Original Pre-Funded Amounts, the Servicers may purchase, in whole, from the Trust the Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement. In the event that no such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balances of the Regular Certificates have been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, (iii) the optional purchase by the Servicers of the Mortgage Loans as described in the Agreement and (iv)
the Distribution Date in July 2035.

Capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed inconsistent with that meaning.

[Reverse of Class M-4 Certificate]

Soundview Home Loan Trust 2005-2

Asset-Backed Certificates,

SERIES 2005-2

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Soundview Home Loan Trust 2005-2, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2005-2 (herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust created by the Agreement.

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

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

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, then the Business Day immediately following such Distribution Date (the “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the Certificate Register or by wire transfer or otherwise, as set forth in the Agreement. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trustee or the Trustee’s agent specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee and of Holders of the requisite percentage of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by such amendment, as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

 

 

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

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

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicers 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 Trustee, the Servicers or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

On any Distribution Date following the date at which the remaining aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the sum of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Original Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date and the Original Pre-Funded Amounts, the Servicers may purchase, in whole, from the Trust the Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement. In the event that no such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balances of the Regular Certificates have been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, (iii) the optional purchase by the Servicers of the Mortgage Loans as described in the Agreement and (iv)
the Distribution Date in July 2035.

[REVERSE OF CLASS M-5 CERTIFICATE]

Soundview Home Loan Trust 2005-2

Asset-Backed Certificates,

SERIES 2005-2

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Soundview Home Loan Trust 2005-2, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2005-2 (herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust created by the Agreement.

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

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

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, then the Business Day immediately following such Distribution Date (the “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the Certificate Register or by wire transfer or otherwise, as set forth in the Agreement. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trustee or the Trustee’s agent specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee and of Holders of the requisite percentage of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by such amendment, as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

 

 

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

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

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicers 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 Trustee, the Servicers or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

On any Distribution Date following the date at which the remaining aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the sum of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Original Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date and the Original Pre-Funded Amounts, the Servicers may purchase, in whole, from the Trust the Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement. In the event that no such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balances of the Regular Certificates have been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, (iii) the optional purchase by the Servicers of the Mortgage Loans as described in the Agreement and (iv)
the Distribution Date in July 2035.

Capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed inconsistent with that meaning.

SERIES 2005-2

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Soundview Home Loan Trust 2005-2, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2005-2 (herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust created by the Agreement.

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

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

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, then the Business Day immediately following such Distribution Date (the “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the Certificate Register or by wire transfer or otherwise, as set forth in the Agreement. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trustee or the Trustee’s agent specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee and of Holders of the requisite percentage of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by such amendment, as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

 

 

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

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

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicers 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 Trustee, the Servicers or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

On any Distribution Date following the date at which the remaining aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the sum of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Original Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date and the Original Pre-Funded Amounts, the Servicers may purchase, in whole, from the Trust the Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement. In the event that no such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balances of the Regular Certificates have been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, (iii) the optional purchase by the Servicers of the Mortgage Loans as described in the Agreement and (iv)

Asset-Backed Certificates,

SERIES 2005-2

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Soundview Home Loan Trust 2005-2, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2005-2 (herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust created by the Agreement.

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

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

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, then the Business Day immediately following such Distribution Date (the “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the Certificate Register or by wire transfer or otherwise, as set forth in the Agreement. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trustee or the Trustee’s agent specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee and of Holders of the requisite percentage of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by such amendment, as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

 

 

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

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

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicers 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 Trustee, the Servicers or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

On any Distribution Date following the date at which the remaining aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the sum of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Original Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date and the Original Pre-Funded Amounts, the Servicers may purchase, in whole, from the Trust the Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement. In the event that no such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balances of the Regular Certificates have been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, (iii) the optional purchase by the Servicers of the Mortgage Loans as described in the Agreement and (iv)
the Distribution Date in July 2035.

Capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed inconsistent with that meaning.

Soundview Home Loan Trust 2005-2

Asset-Backed Certificates,

SERIES 2005-2

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Soundview Home Loan Trust 2005-2, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2005-2 (herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust created by the Agreement.

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

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

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, then the Business Day immediately following such Distribution Date (the “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the Certificate Register or by wire transfer or otherwise, as set forth in the Agreement. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trustee or the Trustee’s agent specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee and of Holders of the requisite percentage of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by such amendment, as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

 

 

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

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

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, then the Business Day immediately following such Distribution Date (the “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

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

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

[Reverse of Class B-4 Certificate]

Soundview Home Loan Trust 2005-2

Asset-Backed Certificates,

SERIES 2005-2

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Soundview Home Loan Trust 2005-2, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2005-2 (herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust created by the Agreement.

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

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

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, then the Business Day immediately following such Distribution Date (the “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the Certificate Register or by wire transfer or otherwise, as set forth in the Agreement. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trustee or the Trustee’s agent specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee and of Holders of the requisite percentage of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by such amendment, as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

 

 

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

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

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicers 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 Trustee, the Servicers or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

On any Distribution Date following the date at which the remaining aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the sum of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Original Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date and the Original Pre-Funded Amounts, the Servicers may purchase, in whole, from the Trust the Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement. In the event that no such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balances of the Regular Certificates have been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, (iii) the optional purchase by the Servicers of the Mortgage Loans as described in the Agreement and (iv)
the Distribution Date in July 2035.

Capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed inconsistent with that meaning.

Asset-Backed Certificates,

SERIES 2005-2

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Soundview Home Loan Trust 2005-2, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2005-2 (herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust created by the Agreement.

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

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

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, then the Business Day immediately following such Distribution Date (the “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the Certificate Register or by wire transfer or otherwise, as set forth in the Agreement. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trustee or the Trustee’s agent specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee and of Holders of the requisite percentage of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by such amendment, as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

 

 

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

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

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicers 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 Trustee, the Servicers or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

On any Distribution Date following the date at which the remaining aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the sum of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Original Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date and the Original Pre-Funded Amounts, the Servicers may purchase, in whole, from the Trust the Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement. In the event that no such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balances of the Regular Certificates have been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, (iii) the optional purchase by the Servicers of the Mortgage Loans as described in the Agreement and (iv)
the Distribution Date in July 2035.

Capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed inconsistent with that meaning.

CLASS C

evidencing the Percentage Interest in the distributions allocable to the Certificates of the above-referenced Class with respect to the Trust consisting of first lien adjustable rate and fixed rate mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”)

FINANCIAL ASSET SECURITIES CORP., AS DEPOSITOR

Principal in respect of this Certificate is distributable monthly as set forth herein. Accordingly, the Certificate Principal Balance of this Class C Certificate at any time may be less than the Initial Certificate Principal Balance set forth on the face hereof, as described herein. This Class C Certificate does not evidence an obligation of, or an interest in, and is not guaranteed by the Depositor, the Servicers, or the Trustee referred to below or any of their respective affiliates.

This certifies that Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc. is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Class C Certificate (obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Class C Certificate by the Original Class Certificate Principal Balance) in certain distributions with respect to a Trust consisting primarily of the Mortgage Loans deposited by Financial Asset Securities Corp. (the “Depositor”). The Trust was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of May 1, 2005 (the “Agreement”) among the Depositor, Centex Home Equity Company, LLC and Saxon Mortgage Services, Inc., as servicers (the “Servicers”), and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, a national banking association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in
the Agreement. This Class C Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Class C Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

No transfer of a Certificate of this Class shall be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under said Act and such laws. In the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee shall each certify to the Trustee and the Depositor in writing the facts surrounding the transfer. In the event that such a transfer is not to be made pursuant to Rule 144A of the Act, there shall be delivered to the Trustee and the Depositor of an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Act, which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be obtained at the expense of the Trustee, the Servicers or the Depositor; or there shall be delivered to the Trustee and the Depositor a transferor certificate by the transferor and an investment letter shall be executed by the transferee. The Holder hereof 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.

 

 

 

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(d) of the Agreement.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Class C Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

This Class C Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose unless manually countersigned by an authorized signatory of the Trustee.

 

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, then the Business Day immediately following such Distribution Date (the “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

CLASS P

evidencing the Percentage Interest in the distributions allocable to  the Certificates of the above-referenced Class with respect to the Trust consisting of first lien adjustable rate and fixed rate mortgage loans (the  “Mortgage Loans”)

FINANCIAL ASSET SECURITIES CORP., AS DEPOSITOR

Principal in respect of this Certificate is distributable monthly as set forth herein. Accordingly, the Certificate Principal Balance of this Class P Certificate at any time may be less than the Initial Certificate Principal Balance set forth on the face hereof, as described herein. This Class P Certificate does not evidence an obligation of, or an interest in, and is not guaranteed by the Depositor, the Servicers, or the Trustee referred to below or any of their respective affiliates.

This certifies that Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc. is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Class P Certificate (obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Class P Certificate by the Original Class Certificate Principal Balance) in certain distributions with respect to a Trust consisting primarily of the Mortgage Loans deposited by Financial Asset Securities Corp. (the “Depositor”). The Trust was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of May 1, 2005 (the “Agreement”) among the Depositor, Centex Home Equity Company, LLC and Saxon Mortgage Services, Inc., as servicers (the “Servicers”), and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, a national banking association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in
the Agreement. This Class P Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Class P Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

This Certificate does not have a pass-through rate and will be entitled to distributions only to the extent set forth in the Agreement.

No transfer of a Certificate of this Class shall be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under said Act and such laws. In the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee shall each certify to the Trustee and the Depositor in writing the facts surrounding the transfer. In the event that such a transfer is not to be made pursuant to Rule 144A of the Act, there shall be delivered to the Trustee and the Depositor of an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Act, which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be obtained at the expense of the Trustee, the Servicers or the Depositor; or there shall be delivered to the Trustee and the Depositor a transferor certificate by the transferor and an investment letter shall be executed by the transferee. The Holder hereof 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.

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(d) of the Agreement.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Class P Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

This Class P Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose unless manually countersigned by an authorized signatory of the Trustee.

 

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

[Reverse of Class P Certificate]

Soundview Home Loan Trust 2005-2

Asset-Backed Certificates,

SERIES 2005-2

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Soundview Home Loan Trust 2005-2, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2005-2 (herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust created by the Agreement.

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

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

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, then the Business Day immediately following such Distribution Date (the “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the Certificate Register or by wire transfer or otherwise, as set forth in the Agreement. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trustee or the Trustee’s agent specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee and of Holders of the requisite percentage of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by such amendment, as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

 

 

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

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

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicers 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 Trustee, the Servicers or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

On any Distribution Date following the date at which the remaining aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the sum of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Original Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date and the Original Pre-Funded Amounts, the Servicers may purchase, in whole, from the Trust the Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement. In the event that no such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balances of the Regular Certificates have been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, (iii) the optional purchase by the Servicers of the Mortgage Loans as described in the Agreement and (iv)
the Distribution Date in July 2035.

Capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed inconsistent with that meaning.

This certifies that Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc. is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate specified above in the interest represented by all Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs in a Trust consisting primarily of the Mortgage Loans deposited by Financial Asset Securities Corp. (the “Depositor”). The Trust was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of May 1, 2005 (the “Agreement”) among the Depositor, Centex Home Equity Company, LLC and Saxon Mortgage Services, Inc., as servicers (the “Servicers”), and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, a national banking association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). 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.

This Certificate does not have a principal balance or pass-through rate and will be entitled to distributions only to the extent set forth in the Agreement. In addition, any distribution of the proceeds of any remaining assets of the Trust will be made only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the Office or the office or agency maintained by the Trustee.

No transfer of a Certificate of this Class shall be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under said Act and such laws. In the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee shall each certify to the Trustee and the Depositor in writing the facts surrounding the transfer. In the event that such a transfer is not to be made pursuant to Rule 144A of the Act, there shall be delivered to the Trustee and the Depositor of an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Act, which Opinion of Counsel

Asset-Backed Certificates,

SERIES 2005-2

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Soundview Home Loan Trust 2005-2 Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2005-2 (herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust created by the Agreement.

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

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

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, then the Business Day immediately following such Distribution Date (the “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the Certificate Register or by wire transfer or otherwise, as set forth in the Agreement. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trustee or the Trustee’s agent specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee and of Holders of the requisite percentage of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by such amendment, as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

 

 

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

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

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicers 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 Trustee, the Servicers or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

On any Distribution Date following the date at which the remaining aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the sum of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Original Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date and the Original Pre-Funded Amounts, the Servicers may purchase, in whole, from the Trust the Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement. In the event that no such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balances of the Regular Certificates have been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, (iii) the optional purchase by the Servicers of the Mortgage Loans as described in the Agreement and (iv)
the Distribution Date in July 2035.

Capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed inconsistent with that meaning.

FINANCIAL ASSET SECURITIES CORP., AS DEPOSITOR

This Certificate does not evidence an obligation of, or an interest in, and is not guaranteed by the Depositor, the Servicers or the Trustee referred to below or any of their respective affiliates.

This certifies that Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc. is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate specified above in the interest represented by all Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs in a Trust consisting primarily of the Mortgage Loans deposited by Financial Asset Securities Corp. (the “Depositor”). The Trust was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of May 1, 2005 (the “Agreement”) among the Depositor, Centex Home Equity Company, LLC and Saxon Mortgage Services, Inc., as servicers (the “Servicers”), and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, a national banking association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). 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.

This Certificate does not have a principal balance or pass-through rate and will be entitled to distributions only to the extent set forth in the Agreement. In addition, any distribution of the proceeds of any remaining assets of the Trust will be made only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the Office or the office or agency maintained by the Trustee.

No transfer of a Certificate of this Class shall be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under said Act and such laws. In the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee shall each certify to the Trustee and the Depositor in writing the facts surrounding the transfer. In the event that such a transfer is not to be made pursuant to Rule 144A of the Act, there shall be delivered to the Trustee and the Depositor of an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Act, which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be obtained at the expense of the Trustee, the Servicers or the Depositor; or there shall be delivered to the Trustee and the Depositor a transferor certificate by the transferor and an investment letter shall be executed by the transferee. The Holder hereof 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.

 

 

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(d) of the Agreement.

Each Holder of this Certificate will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by the restrictions of the Agreement, including but not limited to the restrictions that (i) each person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate must be a Permitted Transferee, (ii) no Ownership Interest in this Certificate may be transferred without delivery to the Trustee of (a) a transfer affidavit of the proposed transferee and (b) a transfer certificate of the transferor, each of such documents to be in the form described in the Agreement, (iii) each person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate must agree to require a transfer affidavit and to deliver a transfer certificate to the Trustee as required pursuant to the Agreement, (iv) each person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in this Certificate must agree not to transfer an Ownership Interest in this
Certificate if it has actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee and (v) any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation of such restrictions will be absolutely null and void and will vest no rights in the purported transferee. Pursuant to the Agreement, The Trustee will provide the Internal Revenue Service and any pertinent persons with the information needed to compute the tax imposed under the applicable tax laws on transfers of residual interests to disqualified organizations, if any person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires an Ownership Interest on a Class R-X Certificate in violation of the restrictions mentioned above.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

This Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose unless manually countersigned by an authorized officer of the Trustee.

 

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

2.          From and after the date hereof, the Company shall and does hereby recognize that the Assignee will transfer the Mortgage Loans and assign its rights under the Purchase Agreement (solely to the extent set forth herein) and this Agreement to Soundview Mortgage Loan Trust 2005-2 (the “Trust”) created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2005 (the “Pooling Agreement”), among the Assignee, the Company and Saxon Mortgage Services, Inc. as servicers (including their successors in interest and any successor servicers under the Pooling Agreement, the “Servicers”) and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as trustee (including its successors in interest and any successor trustee under the

Neither the Company nor the Assignor shall amend or agree to amend, modify, waiver, or otherwise alter any of the terms or provisions of the Purchase Agreement which amendment, modification, waiver or other alteration would in any way affect the Mortgage Loans or the Company’s performance under the Purchase
Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans without the prior written consent of the Trustee.

Representations and Warranties of the Company

 

3.          The Company warrants and represents to the Assignor, the Assignee and the Trust as of the date hereof that:

(a)        The Company is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation;

4.          Pursuant to Section 12 of the Purchase Agreement, the Company hereby represents and warrants, for the benefit of the Assignor, the Assignee and the Trust, that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 7.01 and 7.02 of the Purchase Agreement, are true and correct as of the date hereof as if such representations and warranties were made on the date hereof, except that the representation and warranty set forth in Section 7.02(a) shall, for purposes of this Agreement, relate to the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached hereto.

Recognition of the Company

 

2.           From and after the date hereof, the Company shall and does hereby recognize that the Assignee will transfer the Mortgage Loans and assign its rights under the Purchase Agreement (solely to the extent set forth herein) and this Agreement to Soundview Mortgage Loan Trust 2005-2 (the “Trust”) created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2005 (the “Pooling Agreement”), among the Assignee, Centex Home Equity Company, LLC and Saxon Mortgage Services, Inc. as servicers (including their successors in interest and any successor servicers under the Pooling Agreement, the “Servicers”) and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as trustee (including its successors in interest and any

requirements and remedies with respect to breaches of representations and warranties set forth in the Purchase Agreement, and shall be entitled to enforce all of the obligations of the Company thereunder insofar as they relate to the Mortgage Loans, and (iv) all references to the Purchaser (insofar as they relate to the rights, title and interest and, with respect to obligations of the Purchaser, only insofar as they relate to the enforcement of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company) or the Custodian under the Purchase Agreement insofar as they relate to the Mortgage Loans, shall be deemed to refer to the Trust (including the Trustee and each of the Servicers acting on the Trust’s behalf).  Neither the Company nor the Assignor shall amend or agree to amend, modify, waiver, or otherwise alter any of the terms or provisions of the Purchase Agreement which amendment,
modification, waiver or other alteration would in any way affect the Mortgage Loans or the Company’s performance under the Purchase Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans without the prior written consent of the Trustee.

Representations and Warranties of the Company

 

3.          The Company warrants and represents to the Assignor, the Assignee and the Trust as of the date hereof that:

(a)        The Company is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation;

(b)        The Company has full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and has full power and authority to perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement. The execution by the Company of this Agreement is in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and will not conflict with, or result in a breach of, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Company’s charter or bylaws or any legal restriction, or any material agreement or instrument to which the Company is now a party or by which it is bound, or result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which the Company or its property is subject. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action
on part of the Company. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company, and, upon the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Assignor and the Assignee, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law; 

(c)        No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or declaration, filing or registration with, any governmental entity is required to be obtained or made by the Company in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Company of this Agreement; and

(d)        There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or threatened against the Company, before any court, administrative agency or other 

 

 

tribunal, which would draw into question the validity of this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, or which, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, would result in any material adverse change in the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, and the Company is solvent.

4.          Pursuant to Section 12 of the Purchase Agreement, the Company hereby represents and warrants, for the benefit of the Assignor, the Assignee and the Trust, that the representations and warranties set forth in Subsections 7.01 and 7.02 of the Purchase Agreement, are true and correct as of the earlier of (i) the date which is 6 months following the date on which the Company originally conveyed the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser and (ii) the Closing Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) no additional representations or warranties will be made by the Company with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in Subsections 7.02(iii), (xiv) and (xxii) (with respect to the second sentence of Subsection 7.02(xxii)) and (b) the representations and warranties set forth in Subsections 7.02(ix) and (xviii) shall only apply to
actions taken by the Company or its affiliates.

5.          The Assignor hereby makes the following representations and warranties as of the date hereof:

(a)        To the best of the Assignor’s knowledge, nothing has occurred in the period of time from the date which is 6 months following the date on which the Company originally conveyed the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser to the date hereof which would cause such representation and warranties referred to in Section 4 herein to be untrue in any material respect as of the date hereof.

(b)        Each Mortgage Loan at the time it was made complied in all material respects with applicable local, state, and federal laws, including, but not limited to, all applicable predatory and abusive lending laws;

(c)        None of the mortgage loans are High Cost as defined by any applicable predatory and abusive lending laws; 

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

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

Remedies for Breach of Representations and Warranties

 

6.          The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that the remedies available to the Assignor, the Assignee and the Trust (including the Trustee and each of the Servicers acting on the Trust’s behalf) in connection with any breach of the representations and warranties made by the Company set forth in Sections 3 and 4 hereof shall be as set forth in Subsection 7.03 of the Purchase Agreement as if they were set forth herein (including without limitation the repurchase and indemnity obligations set forth therein); provided, however, with respect to any representation of the Company which materially and adversely affects the interests 

 

 

of any Prepayment Charge, the Company shall pay the amount of the scheduled Prepayment Charge by remitting such amount to the Servicers for deposit into the Collection Account in respect of such Prepayment Charge.

The Assignor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the remedies available to the Assignee and the Trust (including the Trustee and each of the Servicers acting on the Trust’s behalf) in connection with any breach of the representations and warranties made by the Assignor set forth in Section 5 hereof shall be as set forth in Section 2.03 of the Pooling Agreement as if they were set forth herein.

In addition to the foregoing, within 120 days of the earlier of discovery by the Assignor or receipt of notice by the Assignor of (i) the breach of any representation or warranty of the Company set forth in Section 7.02 of the Purchase Agreement which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any of the Mortgage Loan and for which the Company has failed to cure such breach in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and (ii)(a) the fact that the Company is no longer an operating company or (b) an Officers’ Certificate certifying to the fact that the Company is financially unable to cure such breach pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Assignor shall take such action described in Section 2.03 of the Pooling Agreement in respect of such Mortgage Loan.  Such obligation of the Assignor shall continue until such time that the

ASSIGNMENT AND RECOGNITION AGREEMENT

 

THIS ASSIGNMENT AND RECOGNITION AGREEMENT, dated May 31, 2005, (“Agreement”) among Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc. (“Assignor”), Financial Asset Securities Corp. (“Assignee”) and Meritage Mortgage Corp. (the “Company”):

 

For and in consideration of the sum of TEN DOLLARS ($10.00) and other valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, and of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Assignment and Conveyance

1.          The Assignor hereby conveys, sells, grants, transfers and assigns to the Assignee (x) all of the right, title and interest of the Assignor, as purchaser, in, to and under (a) those certain Mortgage Loans listed as being originated by the Company on the schedule (the “Mortgage Loan Schedule”) attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Mortgage Loans”) and (b) except as described below, that certain Master Mortgage Loan Purchase and Interim Servicing Agreement dated as of May 1, 2003 as amended (the “Purchase Agreement”), between the Assignor, as purchaser (the “Purchaser”), and the Company, as seller, solely
insofar as the Purchase Agreement relates to the Mortgage Loans and (y) other than as provided below with respect to the enforcement of representations and warranties, none of the obligations of the Assignor under the Purchase Agreement.

The Assignor specifically reserves and does not assign to the Assignee hereunder any and all right, title and interest in, to and under and any obligations of the Assignor with respect to any mortgage loans subject to the Purchase Agreement which are not the Mortgage Loans set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule and are not the subject of this Agreement.

Recognition of the Company

2.          From and after the date hereof, the Company shall and does hereby recognize that the Assignee will transfer the Mortgage Loans and assign its rights under the Purchase Agreement (solely to the extent set forth herein) and this Agreement to Soundview Mortgage Loan Trust 2005-2 (the “Trust”) created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2005 (the “Pooling Agreement”), among the Assignee, Centex Home Equity Company, LLC and Saxon Mortgage Services, Inc. as servicers (including their successors in interest and any successor servicers under the Pooling Agreement, the “Servicers”) and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as trustee (including its successors in interest and any
successor trustee under the Pooling Agreement, the “Trustee”).  The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that from and after the date hereof (i) the Trust will be the owner of the Mortgage Loans, (ii) the Company shall look solely to the Trust for performance of any obligations of the Assignor insofar as they relate to the enforcement of the representations, warranties and covenants with respect to the Mortgage Loans, (iii) the Trust  (including the Trustee and each of the Servicers acting on the Trust’s behalf) shall have all the rights and remedies available to the Assignor, insofar as they relate to the Mortgage Loans, under the 

 

 

Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, the enforcement of the document delivery requirements and remedies with respect to breaches of representations and warranties set forth in the Purchase Agreement, and shall be entitled to enforce all of the obligations of the Company thereunder insofar as they relate to the Mortgage Loans, and (iv) all references to the Purchaser (insofar as they relate to the rights, title and interest and, with respect to obligations of the Purchaser, only insofar as they relate to the enforcement of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company) or the Custodian under the Purchase Agreement insofar as they relate to the Mortgage Loans, shall be deemed to refer to the Trust (including the Trustee and each of the Servicers acting on the Trust’s behalf).  Neither the Company nor the Assignor shall amend or agree to amend, modify, waiver, or
otherwise alter any of the terms or provisions of the Purchase Agreement which amendment, modification, waiver or other alteration would in any way affect the Mortgage Loans or the Company’s performance under the Purchase Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans without the prior written consent of the Trustee.

Representations and Warranties of the Company

3.          The Company warrants and represents to the Assignor, the Assignee and the Trust as of the date hereof that:

(a)        The Company is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation;

(b)        The Company has full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and has full power and authority to perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement. The execution by the Company of this Agreement is in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and will not conflict with, or result in a breach of, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Company’s charter or bylaws or any legal restriction, or any material agreement or instrument to which the Company is now a party or by which it is bound, or result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which the Company or its property is subject. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on part of the
Company. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company, and, upon the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Assignor and the Assignee, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law; 

(c)        No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or declaration, filing or registration with, any governmental entity is required to be obtained or made by the Company in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Company of this Agreement; and

(d)        There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or threatened against the Company, before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal, which would draw into question the validity of this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, or which, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, would result in any material adverse change in the ability of 

 

 

the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, and the Company is solvent.

4.          Pursuant to Section 12 of the Purchase Agreement, the Company hereby represents and warrants, for the benefit of the Assignor, the Assignee and the Trust, that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 7.01 and 7.02 of the Purchase Agreement, are true and correct as of the date hereof as if such representations and warranties were made on the date hereof, except that the representation and warranty set forth in Section 7.02(a) shall, for purposes of this Agreement, relate to the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached hereto.

5.          The Assignor hereby makes the following representations and warranties as of the date hereof:

 (a)       Each Mortgage Loan at the time it was made complied in all material respects with applicable local, state, and federal laws, including, but not limited to, all applicable predatory and abusive lending laws;

(b)        None of the mortgage loans are High Cost as defined by any applicable predatory and abusive lending laws; 

(c)        No Mortgage Loan is a high cost loan or a covered loan, as applicable (as such terms are defined in Standard & Poor’s LEVELS Version 5.B Glossary Revised, Appendix E); and

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

Remedies for Breach of Representations and Warranties

6.          The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that the remedies available to the Assignor, the Assignee and the Trust (including the Trustee and each of the Servicers acting on the Trust’s behalf) in connection with any breach of the representations and warranties made by the Company set forth in Sections 3 and 4 hereof shall be as set forth in Subsection 7.03 of the Purchase Agreement as if they were set forth herein (including without limitation the repurchase and indemnity obligations set forth therein).

Miscellaneous

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

8.          No term or provision of this Agreement may be waived or modified unless such waiver or modification is in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver or modification is sought to be enforced, with the prior written consent of the Trustee. 

9.          This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of (i) the successors and assigns of the parties hereto and (ii) the Trust (including the Trustee and each of the Servicers acting on 

 

 

the Trust’s behalf). Any entity into which Assignor, Assignee or Company may be merged or consolidated shall, without the requirement for any further writing, be deemed Assignor, Assignee or Company, respectively, hereunder. 

10.        Each of this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement shall survive the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans and the assignment of the Purchase Agreement (to the extent assigned hereunder) by Assignor to Assignee and by Assignee to the Trust and nothing contained herein shall supersede or amend the terms of the Purchase Agreement.  

11.        This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts. Each counterpart shall be deemed to be an original and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument. 

12.        In the event that any provision of this Agreement conflicts with any provision of the Purchase Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans, the terms of this Agreement shall control. 

13.        Capitalized terms used in this Agreement (including the exhibits hereto)  but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

For and in consideration of the sum of TEN DOLLARS ($10.00) and other valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, and of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Assignment and Conveyance

 

1.          The Assignor hereby conveys, sells, grants, transfers and assigns to the Assignee (x) all of the right, title and interest of the Assignor, as purchaser, in, to and under (a) those certain Mortgage Loans listed as being originated by the Company on the schedule (the “Mortgage Loan Schedule”) attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Mortgage Loans”) and (b) except as described below, that certain Master Mortgage Loan Purchase and Interim Servicing Agreement dated as of May 1, 2004 as amended (the “Purchase Agreement”), between the Assignor, as initial purchaser (the “Purchaser”), and the Company, as seller and

The Assignor specifically reserves and does not assign to the Assignee hereunder any and all right, title and interest in, to and under and any obligations of the Assignor with respect to any mortgage loans subject to the Purchase Agreement which are not the mortgage loans set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule and are not the subject of this Agreement.

 

Recognition of the Company

 

2.          From and after the date hereof, the Company shall and does hereby recognize that the Assignee will transfer the Mortgage Loans and assign its rights under the Purchase Agreement (solely to the extent set forth herein) and this Agreement to Soundview Mortgage Loan Trust 2005-2 (the “Trust”) created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2005 (the “Pooling Agreement”), among the Assignee, Centex Home Equity Company, LLC and Saxon Mortgage Services, Inc. as servicers (including their successors in interest and any successor servicer under the Pooling Agreement, the “Servicers”) and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as trustee (including its successors in interest and any

Neither the Company nor the Assignor shall amend or agree to amend, modify, waiver, or otherwise alter any of the terms or provisions of the Purchase Agreement which amendment, modification, waiver or other alteration would in any way affect the Mortgage Loans or the Company’s performance under the Purchase Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans without the prior written consent of the Trustee.

 

Representations and Warranties of the Company

 

3.          The Company warrants and represents to the Assignor, the Assignee and the Trust as of the date hereof that:

(a)        The Company is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation;

(b)        The Company has full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and has full power and authority to perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement. The execution by the Company of this Agreement is in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and will not conflict with, or result in a breach of, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Company’s charter or bylaws or any legal restriction, or any material agreement or instrument to which the Company is now a party or by which it is bound, or result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which the Company or its property is subject. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action
on part of the Company. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company, and, upon the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Assignor and the Assignee, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law; 

(c)        No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or declaration, filing or registration with, any governmental entity is required to be obtained or 

 

 

made by the Company in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Company of this Agreement; and

(d)        There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or threatened against the Company, before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal, which would draw into question the validity of this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, or which, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, would result in any material adverse change in the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, and the Company is solvent;

4.          Pursuant to Section 12 of the Purchase Agreement, the Company hereby represents and warrants, for the benefit of the Assignor and the Trust, that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 7.01 and 7.02 of the Purchase Agreement (except for the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 7.02(iv), 7.02(v), 7.02(vii), 7.02(viii), 7.02(ix), 7.02(xiv), 7.02(xvii), 7.02(xviii), 7.02(xxi), 7.02(xxiii), 7.02(xxvi), 7.02(xxiv), 7.02(xlii), 7.02(xlv), 7.02(li), 7.02(lxxiii), 7.02(lxxv), the last clause of 7.02(iii), the last sentence of 7.02(xvi), the second and last sentences of 7.02(xxiv), and the first clause of 7.02(xxxiv)), are true and correct as of the date hereof as if such representations and warranties were made on the date hereof, except that the representation and warranty set forth in Section 7.02(i)
shall, for purposes of this Agreement, relate to the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached hereto.

5.          The Assignor hereby makes the following representations and warranties as of the date hereof:

(a)        With respect to the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 7.02(iv), 7.02(v), 7.02(vii), 7.02(viii), 7.02(ix), 7.02(xiv), 7.02(xvii), 7.02(xviii), 7.02(xxi), 7.02(xxiii), 7.02(xxvi), 7.02(xxiv), 7.02(xlii), 7.02(xlv), 7.02(li), 7.02(lxxiii), 7.02(lxxv), the last clause of 7.02(iii), the last sentence of 7.02(xvi), the second and last sentences of 7.02(xxiv), and the first clause of 7.02(xxxiv)), to the best of the Assignor’s knowledge, nothing has occurred in the period of time since the Assignor purchased the Mortgage Loans from the Company to the date hereof which would cause such representations and warranties to be untrue in any material respect as of the date hereof;

(b)        Each Mortgage Loan at the time it was made complied in all material respects with applicable local, state, and federal laws, including, but not limited to, all applicable predatory and abusive lending laws;

(c)        None of the mortgage loans are High Cost as defined by any applicable predatory and abusive lending laws; 

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

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

For and in consideration of the sum of TEN DOLLARS ($10.00) and other valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, and of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Assignment and Conveyance

 

1.          The Assignor hereby conveys, sells, grants, transfers and assigns to the Assignee (x) all of the right, title and interest of the Assignor, as purchaser, in, to and under (a) those certain Mortgage Loans listed as being originated by the Company on the schedule (the “Mortgage Loan Schedule”) attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Mortgage Loans”) and (b) except as described below, that certain Master Mortgage Loan Purchase and Interim Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2004 as amended (the “Purchase Agreement”), between the Assignor, as purchaser (the “Purchaser”), and the Company, as seller, solely insofar as the Purchase Agreement relates to the Mortgage Loans and (y) other than as provided below with respect to the enforcement of representations and warranties, none of the obligations of the Assignor under the Purchase Agreement.

The Assignor specifically reserves and does not assign to the Assignee hereunder any and all right, title and interest in, to and under and any obligations of the Assignor with respect to any mortgage loans subject to the Purchase Agreement which are not the Mortgage Loans set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule and are not the subject of this Agreement.

 

Recognition of the Company

 

2.          From and after the date hereof, the Company shall and does hereby recognize that the Assignee will transfer the Mortgage Loans and assign its rights under the Purchase Agreement (solely to the extent set forth herein) and this Agreement to Soundview Mortgage Loan Trust 2005-2 (the “Trust”) created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2005 (the “Pooling Agreement”), among the Assignee, Centex Home Equity Company, LLC and Saxon Mortgage Services, Inc. as servicers (including their successors in interest and any successor servicers under the Pooling Agreement, the “Servicers”) and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as trustee (including its successors in interest and any

ASSIGNMENT AND RECOGNITION AGREEMENT

THIS ASSIGNMENT AND RECOGNITION AGREEMENT, dated May 31, 2005, (“Agreement”) among Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc. (“Assignor”), Financial Asset Securities Corp. (“Assignee”) and NovaStar Mortgage, Inc. (the “Company”):

For and in consideration of the sum of TEN DOLLARS ($10.00) and other valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, and of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Assignment and Conveyance

1.          The Assignor hereby conveys, sells, grants, transfers and assigns to the Assignee (x) all of the right, title and interest of the Assignor, as purchaser, in, to and under (a) those certain Mortgage Loans listed as being originated by the Company on the schedule (the “Mortgage Loan Schedule”) attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Mortgage Loans”) and (b) except as described below, that certain Master Mortgage Loan Purchase and Interim Servicing Agreement dated as of April 1, 2005, as amended (the “Purchase Agreement”), between the Assignor, as purchaser (the “Purchaser”), and the Company, as seller, solely
insofar as the Purchase Agreement relates to the Mortgage Loans and (y) other than as provided below with respect to the enforcement of representations and warranties, none of the obligations of the Assignor under the Purchase Agreement.

The Assignor specifically reserves and does not assign to the Assignee hereunder any and all right, title and interest in, to and under and any obligations of the Assignor with respect to any mortgage loans subject to the Purchase Agreement which are not the Mortgage Loans set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule and are not the subject of this Agreement.

Recognition of the Company

2.          From and after the date hereof, the Company shall and does hereby recognize that the Assignee will transfer the Mortgage Loans and assign its rights under the Purchase Agreement (solely to the extent set forth herein) and this Agreement to Soundview Mortgage Loan Trust 2005-2 (the “Trust”) created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2005 (the “Pooling Agreement”), among the Assignee, Centex Home Equity Company, LLC and Saxon Mortgage Services, Inc. as servicers (including their successors in interest and any successor servicers under the Pooling Agreement, the “Servicers”) and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as trustee (including its successors in interest and any
successor trustees under the Pooling Agreement, the “Trustee”).  The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that from and after the date hereof (i) the Trust will be the owner of the Mortgage Loans, (ii) the Company shall look solely to the Trust for performance of any obligations of the Assignor insofar as they relate to the enforcement of the representations, warranties and covenants with respect to the Mortgage Loans, (iii) the Trust (including the Trustee and each of the Servicers acting on the Trust’s behalf) shall have all the rights and remedies available to the Assignor, insofar as they relate to the Mortgage Loans, under the Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, the enforcement of the document delivery requirements and remedies with respect to breaches of representations and warranties set forth in the Purchase Agreement, and shall be entitled to enforce all of the obligations of the Company 

 

 

thereunder insofar as they relate to the Mortgage Loans, and (iv) all references to the Purchaser (insofar as they relate to the rights, title and interest and, with respect to obligations of the Purchaser, only insofar as they relate to the enforcement of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company) or the Custodian under the Purchase Agreement insofar as they relate to the Mortgage Loans, shall be deemed to refer to the Trust (including the Trustee and each of the Servicers acting on the Trust’s behalf).  Neither the Company nor the Assignor shall amend or agree to amend, modify, waiver, or otherwise alter any of the terms or provisions of the Purchase Agreement which amendment, modification, waiver or other alteration would in any way affect the Mortgage Loans or the Company’s performance under the Purchase Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans without the prior
written consent of the Trustee.

Representations and Warranties of the Company

3.          The Company warrants and represents to the Assignor, the Assignee and the Trust as of the date hereof that:

(a)        The Company is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation;

(b)        The Company has full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and has full power and authority to perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement. The execution by the Company of this Agreement is in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and will not conflict with, or result in a breach of, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Company’s charter or bylaws or any legal restriction, or any material agreement or instrument to which the Company is now a party or by which it is bound, or result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which the Company or its property is subject. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
action on part of the Company. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company, and, upon the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Assignor and the Assignee, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;

(c)        No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or declaration, filing or registration with, any governmental entity is required to be obtained or made by the Company in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Company of this Agreement; and

(d)        There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or threatened against the Company, before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal, which would draw into question the validity of this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, or which, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, would result in any material adverse 

 

 

change in the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, and the Company is solvent.

4.          Pursuant to Section 12 of the Purchase Agreement, the Company hereby represents and warrants, for the benefit of the Assignor, the Assignee and the Trust, that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 7.01 and 7.02 of the Purchase Agreement, are true and correct as of the date hereof as if such representations and warranties were made on the date hereof, except that the representation and warranty set forth in Section 7.02(a) shall, for purposes of this Agreement, relate to the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached hereto.

5.          The Assignor hereby makes the following representations and warranties as of the date hereof:

 (a)       Each Mortgage Loan at the time it was made complied in all material respects with applicable local, state, and federal laws, including, but not limited to, all applicable predatory and abusive lending laws;

(b)        None of the mortgage loans are High Cost as defined by any applicable predatory and abusive lending laws; 

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

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

Remedies for Breach of Representations and Warranties

6.          The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that the remedies available to the Assignor, the Assignee and the Trust (including the Trustee and each of the Servicers acting on the Trust’s behalf) in connection with any breach of the representations and warranties made by the Company set forth in Sections 3 and 4 hereof shall be as set forth in Subsection 7.03 of the Purchase Agreement as if they were set forth herein (including without limitation the repurchase and indemnity obligations set forth therein).

Miscellaneous

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

8.          No term or provision of this Agreement may be waived or modified unless such waiver or modification is in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver or modification is sought to be enforced, with the prior written consent of the Trustee.

9.          This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of (i) the successors and assigns of the parties hereto and (ii) the Trust (including the Trustee and each of the Servicers acting on 

 

 

the Trust’s behalf).  Any entity into which Assignor, Assignee or Company may be merged or consolidated shall, without the requirement for any further writing, be deemed Assignor, Assignee or Company, respectively, hereunder.

10.        Each of this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement shall survive the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans and the assignment of the Purchase Agreement (to the extent assigned hereunder) by Assignor to Assignee and by Assignee to the Trust and nothing contained herein shall supersede or amend the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

11.        This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts. Each counterpart shall be deemed to be an original and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.

12.        In the event that any provision of this Agreement conflicts with any provision of the Purchase Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

13.        Capitalized terms used in this Agreement (including the exhibits hereto)  but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, Financial Asset Securities Corp. (the “Depositor”) has agreed to purchase certain conventional fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) from Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc. (the “Seller”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of (i) an Assignment and Recognition Agreement, dated as of May 31, 2005, (the “Centex Assignment Agreement”) among the Depositor, as assignee, the Seller, as assignor and Centex Home Equity Company, LLC and (ii) an Assignment and Recognition Agreement, dated as of May 31, 2005, (the “ResMAE Assignment Agreement” and together with the Centex Assignment Agreements, the “Assignment Agreements”) among the Depositor, as assignee, the Seller, as assignor and Residential Mortgage Assistance Enterprise, LLC;

WHEREAS, the Servicers are to service the Mortgage Loans on behalf of Soundview Home Loan Trust 2005-2, under a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2005, among the Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the Custodian is a national banking association chartered under the laws of the United States of America and regulated by the Comptroller of the Currency, and is otherwise authorized to act as Custodian pursuant to this Agreement.  With respect to each of the Mortgage Loans set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached as Exhibit 8 hereto, the Servicers desire to have the Custodian take possession of the Mortgages and Mortgage Notes, along with certain other documents specified herein, as the custodian, in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.

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

	
            1.
 	
            Definitions.
 

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

 

 

 

	
            2.
 	
  Delivery of Custodial Files.
 

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

(i)         the original Mortgage Note, endorsed either (A) in blank, or (B) in the following form: “Pay to the order of Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee, without recourse” or with respect to any lost Mortgage Note, an original Lost Note Affidavit stating that the original mortgage note was lost, misplaced or destroyed, together with a copy of the related mortgage note; 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 1.00% of the Pool Balance as of the Cut-off Date;

(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 or, if such Mortgage or power of attorney has been submitted for recording but has not been returned from the applicable public recording office, has been lost or is not otherwise available, a copy of such Mortgage or power of attorney, as the case may be, certified to be a true and complete copy of the original submitted for recording;

(iii)        an original Assignment, in form and substance acceptable for recording. The Mortgage shall be assigned either (A) in blank or (B) to “Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee, without recourse”

(iv)        an original copy of any intervening assignment of Mortgage showing a complete chain of assignments;

	
            (v)
 	
            the original or a certified copy of lender’s title insurance policy; and
 

(vi)        the original or copies of each assumption, modification, written assurance or substitution agreement, if any.

If any of the documents referred to in Section 2(ii), (iii) or (iv) above has as of the Closing Date (or Subsequent Transfer Date, with respect to Subsequent Mortgage Loans) been submitted for recording but either (x) has not been returned from the applicable public recording office or (y) has been lost or such public recording office has retained the original of such document, the obligations of the Depositor to deliver such documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon (1) delivery to the Custodian no later than the Closing Date (or Subsequent Transfer Date, with respect to Subsequent Mortgage Loans), of a copy of each such document certified by the related 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 related Originator, delivery to the Custodian, 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, or a certified copy thereof, was not delivered pursuant to Section 2(v) above, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian, the original or a copy of a written commitment or interim binder or preliminary report of title issued by the title insurance or escrow company, with the original or a certified copy thereof to be delivered to the Custodian, promptly upon receipt thereof.  The related Servicer or the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian promptly upon receipt thereof any other 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.

Upon discovery or receipt of notice of any materially defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File, the Custodian shall notify the related Servicer and such Servicer shall enforce the obligations of the Originator or the Seller, as applicable under the Assignment Agreement to cure such defect or deliver such missing document to the Trustee or the Custodian within 90 days. If the Originator or the Seller does not cure such defect or deliver such missing document within such time period, the related Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to enforce the obligations of the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, to either repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that such Servicer shall not be under any obligation to take any action
pursuant to this paragraph unless directed by the Depositor and provided, further, the Depositor hereby agrees to assist such Servicer in enforcing any obligations of any Originator to repurchase or substitute for a Mortgage Loan which has breached a representation or warranty under the related Assignment Agreement.  In connection with the foregoing, it is understood that the Custodian shall have no duty to discover any such defects except in the course of performing its review of the Mortgage Files to the extent set forth herein.

Each Servicer shall forward to the Custodian original documents evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan entered into in accordance with this Agreement within two weeks of their execution; provided, however, that each Servicer shall provide the Custodian with a certified true copy of any such document submitted for recordation within two weeks of its execution, and shall provide the original of any document submitted for recordation or a copy of such document certified by the appropriate public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original within 365 days of its submission for recordation. In the event that a Servicer cannot provide a copy of such document certified by the public recording office within such 365 day period, such Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian, within such 365 day period, an Officers’ Certificate
of such Servicer which shall (A) identify the recorded document, (B) state that the recorded document has not been delivered to the Custodian due solely to a delay caused by the public recording office, (C) state the amount of time generally required by the applicable recording office to record and return a document submitted for recordation, if known and (D) specify the date the applicable recorded document is 

 

 

expected to be delivered to the Custodian, and, upon receipt of a copy of such document certified by the public recording office, such Servicer shall immediately deliver such document to the Custodian. In the event the appropriate public recording office will not certify as to the accuracy of such document, the related Servicer shall deliver a copy of such document certified by an officer of such Servicer to be a true and complete copy of the original to the Custodian.

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

	
            3.
 	
            Custodian’s Receipt, Examination and Certification of Mortgage Files; Initial Trust Receipt Delivered by the Custodian.
 

The Custodian agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to review each Custodial File on or before the Closing Date and to certify in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (the “Trust Receipt and Initial Certification”) that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception report annexed thereto as not being covered by such certification), (i) all documents required to be delivered to it pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement are in its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and have not been mutilated, damaged or torn and appear on their face to relate to such Mortgage Loan and (iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items (1)
and (3) of the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement accurately reflects information set forth in the Custodial File.  It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review, the Custodian was not under any duty or obligation (i) to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine whether they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or whether they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face or (ii) to determine whether any Custodial File should include any of the documents specified in clause (vi) of Section 2.  

	
            4.
 	
            Obligations of the Custodian.
 

With respect to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and the Assignment and other documents constituting each Custodial File which is delivered to the Custodian or which come into the possession of the Custodian, the Custodian is the custodian for the Trustee exclusively. The Custodian shall hold all mortgage documents received by it constituting the Custodial File for the exclusive use and benefit of the Trustee, and shall make disposition thereof only in accordance with this Agreement and the instructions furnished by the Trustee. The Custodian shall segregate and maintain continuous custody of all mortgage documents constituting the Custodial File in secure and fire-resistant facilities in accordance with customary standards for such custody. The Custodian shall not be responsible to verify (i) the validity, legality, enforceability, sufficiency, due authorization or genuineness of any
document in each Custodial File or of any of the Mortgage Loans or (ii) the collectability, insurability, effectiveness or suitability of any Mortgage Loan.  The Custodian shall not execute any endorsements on the 

 

 

Mortgage Notes and Assignments of Mortgages without the prior written consent of the Trustee, except as otherwise set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement or as otherwise agreed to between the Trustee and the Custodian.

	
            5.
 	
            Final Certification.
 

Within one (1) year after the Closing Date, the Custodian shall review each Custodial File, and shall deliver to the Trustee (with a copy to the Depositor and the Servicer), a Final Certification attached hereto as Exhibit 2 to the effect that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan (i) paid in full, or (ii) specifically identified on such Final Certification as not covered by such Final Certification): (i) all documents required to be delivered to it pursuant to paragraphs (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (vi) and to the extent provided in the Custodial Files paragraph (v) of Section 2 of this Agreement are in its possession; (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan; (iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing documents, the information set forth in items (1)
and (3) of the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement accurately reflects information set forth in the Custodial File; and (iv) each Mortgage Note has been endorsed as provided in Section 2 of this Agreement and each Mortgage has been assigned in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement.

	
            6.
 	
            Future Defects.
 

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

	
            7.
 	
            Release for Servicing.
 

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

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

 

 

 

	
            8.
 	
            Release for Payment.
 

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

	
            9.
 	
            Fees and Expenses of Custodian.
 

On each Distribution Date, in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, any amounts owed to the Custodian shall be paid by the Trustee out of the Distribution Account, as set forth in a separate fee schedule between the Custodian and the Depositor as set forth in Exhibit 8.  By each Determination Date, the Custodian shall notify the Trustee of the amounts owed to the Custodian with respect to the related Distribution Date.  

	
            10.
 	
            Removal of Custodian.
 

The Trustee at the direction of the Depositor, with or without cause, may upon at least 60 days’ notice remove and discharge the Custodian from the performance of its duties under this Agreement by written notice from the Trustee to the Custodian, with a copy to the Servicer. Having given notice of such removal, the Trustee at the direction of the Depositor promptly shall appoint (with the consent of the related Servicer) a successor Custodian to act on behalf of the Trustee by written instrument, one original counterpart of which instrument shall be retained by the Trustee, with a copy to the related Servicer and the Depositor, and an original to the successor Custodian. In the event of any such removal, the Custodian shall, upon the Trustee’s surrender of the Trust Receipt and Initial Certifications and Final Certification, as applicable, promptly transfer to the successor
Custodian, as directed, all Custodial Files being administered under this Agreement.  In the event of any such removal and appointment the Trust Fund shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of the existing and successor Custodian.

	
            11.
 	
            Transfer of Custodial Files.
 

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

	
            12.
 	
            Examination of Custodial Files.
 

Upon reasonable prior written notice to the Custodian but not less than two (2) Business Days notice, the Trustee and its agents, accountants, attorneys and auditors will be permitted during normal business hours to examine the Custodial Files, documents, records and 

 

 

other papers in the possession of or under the control of the Custodian relating to any or all of the Mortgage Loans at the expense of the Trustee.

	
            13.
 	
            Insurance of Custodian.
 

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

	
            14.
 	
            Counterparts.
 

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

	
            15.
 	
            Periodic Statements.
 

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

	
            16.
 	
            GOVERNING LAW.
 

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

	
            17.
 	
            Copies of Mortgage Documents.
 

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

 

 

 

	
            18.
 	
            No Adverse Interest of Custodian.
 

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

	
            19.
 	
            Termination by Custodian.
 

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

	
            20.
 	
            Term of Agreement.
 

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

	
            21.

            Indemnification of Custodian.
 

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

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

	
            24.
 	
            Reliance of Custodian.
 

(i)         The Custodian may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any request, instructions, certificate, opinion or other document furnished to the Custodian, reasonably believed by the Custodian to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement; but in the case of any loan document or other request, 

 

 

instruction, document or certificate which by any provision hereof is specifically required to be furnished to the Custodian, the Custodian shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine, subject to the limitations on the Custodian’s obligations set forth herein, whether or not it conforms to the requirements of this Agreement.

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

(iii)        Other than as provided herein, neither the Custodian nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action or omission to act hereunder except for its or their own negligence or lack of good faith or willful misconduct. In no event shall the Custodian or any of its directors, officers, agents or employees have any responsibility to ascertain or take action except as expressly provided herein.

(iv)        Neither the Custodian nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in good faith in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement. The obligations of the Custodian or any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement. No representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, obligation or duty of the Custodian or any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be implied with respect to this Agreement or the Custodian’s services hereunder.

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

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

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

 

 

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

	
            25.
 	
            Transmission of Custodial Files.
 

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

	
            26.
 	
            Authorized Representatives.
 

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

	
            27.
 	
            Reproduction of Documents.
 

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

 

 

party in the regular course of business, and that any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence.

	
            28.
 	
            Amendment.
 

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

 

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Servicer have caused their names to be duly signed hereto by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, all as of the date first above written.

FORM OF TRANSFER AFFIDAVIT FOR RESIDUAL CERTIFICATES

PURSUANT TO SECTION 5.02(D)

SOUNDVIEW HOME LOAN TRUST 2005-2

            )   ss:
 
	
            COUNTY OF
 	
            )
 

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

1.          The undersigned is an officer of, the proposed Transferee of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate (the “Certificate”) issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of May 1, 2005 (the “Agreement”), among Financial Asset Securities Corp., as depositor (the “Depositor”), Centex Home Equity Company, LLC and Saxon Mortgage Services, Inc., as servicers (the “Servicers”) and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”).  Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein or in Exhibit 1 hereto, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the
Agreement.  The Transferee has authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit on behalf of the Transferee for the benefit of the Depositor and the Trustee.

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

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

4.          The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will be imposed on a “pass-through entity” holding the Certificate if at any time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity.  The Transferee understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with respect to which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an affidavit that such record holder is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through entity does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false.  (For this purpose, a “pass-through entity” includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust or common trust fund, a 

 

partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations, persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another Person.)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	
            12.
 	
            Check one of the following:
 

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

 

 

 

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

      
	
      (ii)
 	
            the present value of the expected future distributions on such Certificate; and
 
	
            (iii)
 	
            the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding such Certificate as the related REMIC generates losses.
 

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

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

	
            (i)
 	
            the Transferee is an “eligible corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to which income from the Certificate will only be taxed in the United States;
 
	 	 
	
            (ii)
 	
            at the time of the transfer, and at the close of the Transferee’s two fiscal years preceding the year of the transfer, the Transferee had gross assets for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a person related to the Transferee within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100 million and net assets in excess of $10 million;
 
	 	 
	
            (iii)
 	
            the Transferee will transfer the Certificate only to another “eligible corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that satisfies the requirements of Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Section 1.860E-1(c)(5) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations; and
 
	 	 
	
            (iv)
 	
            the Transferee determined the consideration paid to it to acquire the Certificate based on reasonable market assumptions (including, but not limited to, borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and loss assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and other factors specific to the Transferee) that it has determined in good faith.
 
	
             
	
            [  
 	
            ]  None of the above.

Based on my knowledge, the information in these reports, taken as a whole, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading as of the last day of the period covered by this annual report;

4.          Based on my knowledge and upon the annual compliance statement included in the report and required to be delivered to the trustee in accordance with the terms of the pooling and servicing, or similar, agreement, and except as disclosed in the reports, the servicers have fulfilled each of its obligations under the servicing agreement; and

5.          The reports disclose all significant deficiencies relating to the servicers’ compliance with the minimum servicing standards based upon the report provided by an independent public accountant, after conducting a review in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or similar procedure, as set forth in the pooling and servicing, or similar, agreement, that is included in these reports.

Pursuant to this Subsequent Transfer Instrument, dated ________, 2005 (the “Instrument”), between Financial Asset Securities Corp. as seller (the “Depositor”), and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company as trustee of the Soundview Home Loan Trust 2005-2, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2005-2, as purchaser (the “Trustee”), and pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2005 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among the Depositor, Centex Home Equity Company, LLC and Saxon Mortgage Services, Inc. as servicers (the “Servicers”) and the Trustee, the Depositor and the Trustee agree to the sale by the Depositor and the purchase by the Trustee in trust, on behalf of the Trust, of the Mortgage Loans listed on the attached Schedule of Mortgage Loans (the “Subsequent Mortgage Loans”).

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

	
            Section 1.
 	
            Conveyance of Subsequent Mortgage Loans.
 

(a)        The Depositor does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and convey to the Trustee in trust, on behalf of the Trust, without recourse, all of its right, title and interest in and to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans, and including all amounts due on the Subsequent Mortgage Loans after the related Subsequent Cut-off Date, and all items with respect to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided, however that the Depositor reserves and retains all right, title and interest in and to amounts due on the Subsequent Mortgage Loans on or prior to the related Subsequent Cut-off Date. The Depositor, contemporaneously with the delivery of this Agreement, has delivered or caused to be delivered to the Trustee each item set forth in Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. The transfer to the Trustee by the Depositor of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule shall be absolute and is intended by the Depositor, the Servicers, the Trustee and the Certificateholders to constitute and to be treated as a sale by the Depositor to the Trust Fund.

(b)        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, in, to and under the Subsequent Assignment Agreement, dated the date hereof, between the Depositor as purchaser and the Servicers as seller, to the extent of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans.

	
            (c)
 	
            Additional terms of the sale are set forth on Attachment A hereto.

(b)        All terms and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are hereby ratified and confirmed; provided, however, that in the event of any conflict, the provisions of this Instrument shall control over the conflicting provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

	
            Section 3.
 	
            Recordation of Instrument.
 

To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Instrument, or a memorandum thereof if permitted under applicable law, is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all of the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the properties subject to the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Servicers at the Certificateholders’ expense on direction of the related Certificateholders, but only when accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the Certificateholders or is necessary for the administration or servicing of the Mortgage Loans.

	
            Section 4.
 	
            Governing Law.
 

This Instrument shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.

	
            Section 5.
 	
            Counterparts.
 

This Instrument may be executed in one or more counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed to be an original; such counterparts, together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.

	
            Section 6.
 	
            Successors and Assigns.
 

This Instrument shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Depositor and the Trustee and their respective successors and assigns.

            Calculated in accordance with the definition of “Uncertificated REMIC II Pass-Through Rate” herein.
 

(3)            REMIC II Regular Interest I-C will not accrue interest on its Uncertificated Principal Balance, but will accrue interest at the related Uncertificated REMIC II Pass-Through Rate on its Uncertificated Notional Balance which shall equal the aggregate of the Uncertificated Principal Balances of the REMIC I Regular Interests other than REMIC I Regular Interest I-P.

 

 

 

REMIC III

As provided herein, the Trustee will make an election to treat the segregated pool of assets consisting of Loan Group II and certain other related assets subject to this Agreement (other than the Yield Maintenance Agreement and the Net WAC Reserve Fund) as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will be designated as “REMIC III.” The Class II-R-1 Certificates will represent the sole class of Residual Interests in REMIC III for purposes of the REMIC Provisions under federal income tax law. The following table irrevocably sets forth the designation, the Uncertificated REMIC III Pass-Through Rate, the initial Uncertificated Principal Balance and, for purposes of satisfying Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the “latest possible maturity date” for each of the REMIC III Regular Interests (as defined herein). None of the

In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Seller, the Company and the Trustee agree as follows:

 

 

Article I

 

DEFINITIONS

	
            Section 1.01
 	
            Defined Terms.
 

In addition to those terms defined in Section 1.02, whenever used in this Agreement, the following words and phrases, unless the context otherwise requires, shall have the following meanings:

Accepted Master Servicing Practices: With respect to any Mortgage Loan, those customary mortgage servicing practices of prudent mortgage servicing institutions that master service mortgage loans of the same type and quality as such Mortgage Loan in the jurisdiction where the related Mortgaged Property is located, to the extent applicable to the Trustee or the Master Servicer (except in its capacity as successor to the Company or the related Servicer).

Accepted Servicing Practices: With respect to each EMC Mortgage Loan, those mortgage servicing practices (including collection procedures) that are in accordance with all applicable statutes, regulations and prudent mortgage banking practices for similar mortgage loans.

Account: The Distribution Account, the Master Servicer Collection Account, the Net WAC Reserve Fund and any Protected Account.

Accrued Certificate Interest:  With respect to any Group II Certificate (other than the Class II-PO, Class II-P and Class II-R Certificates) for any Distribution Date, means an amount equal to the interest accrued during the related Interest Accrual Period at the applicable Pass-Through Rate on the Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Balance of such Certificate immediately prior to such Distribution Date less (i) in the case of a Group II Senior Certificate (other than the Class II-PO Certificates and Class II-R Certificates), such Certificate’s share of any Net Interest Shortfalls from the related Mortgage Loans and, after the Cross-Over Date, the interest portion of any Realized Losses on the related Mortgage Loans and (ii) in the case of a Group II Subordinate Certificate, such Certificate’s share of any Net Interest Shortfalls and the
interest portion of any Realized Losses on the related Mortgage Loans. Such Net Interest Shortfalls will be allocated among the Group II Certificates (other than the Class II-PO, Class II-P and Class II-R Certificates) in proportion to the amount of Accrued Certificate Interest that would have been allocated thereto in the absence of such shortfalls. Accrued Certificate Interest with respect to the Class II-A, Class II-X and Class II-B Certificates will be based on a 360-day year that consists of twelve 30-day months. No Accrued Certificate Interest will be payable with respect to any Class of Group II Certificates after the Distribution Date on which the outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of such Certificate has been reduced to zero. The Class II-PO, Class II-P and Class II-R Certificates are not entitled to Accrued Certificate Interest.

Additional Master Servicing Compensation: The meaning specified in Section 4.14.

Advance: An advance of delinquent payments of principal or interest in respect of a Mortgage Loan required to be made by the Company as provided in Section 6.01(a) hereof, by the related Servicer in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement or by the Master Servicer as provided in Section 6.01(b) hereof.

 

 

Agreement: This Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any and all amendments or supplements hereto made in accordance with the terms herein.

Allocable Share: With respect to any Class of Group II Subordinate Certificates on any Distribution Date will generally equal such Class’s pro rata share (based on the Certificate Principal Balance of each Class entitled thereto) of the sum of each of the components of the definition of Subordinate Optimal Principal Amount; provided, that, except as described in the second succeeding sentence, no Class of Group II Subordinate Certificates (other than the Class of Group II Subordinate Certificates outstanding with the lowest numerical designation) shall be entitled on any Distribution Date to receive distributions pursuant to clauses (ii), (iii) and (v) of the definition of Subordinate Optimal Principal Amount unless the Class Prepayment Distribution Trigger for the related Class is satisfied for such Distribution Date. The “Class Prepayment
Distribution Trigger” for a Class of Group II Subordinate Certificates for any Distribution Date is satisfied if the fraction (expressed as a percentage), the numerator of which is the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of such Class and each Class subordinated thereto, if any, and the denominator of which is the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all of the  Mortgage Loans in Loan Group II as of the related Due Date, equals or exceeds such percentage calculated as of the Closing Date. If on any Distribution Date the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Group II Subordinate Certificates for which the related Class Prepayment Distribution Trigger was satisfied on such Distribution Date is reduced to zero, any amounts distributable to such Class pursuant to clauses (ii), (iii) and (v) of the definitions of Subordinate Optimal Principal Amount, to the extent of such Class’s remaining Allocable Share, shall be distributed to the remaining Classes of Group II
Subordinate Certificates in reduction of their respective Certificate Principal Balances, sequentially, in the order of their numerical class designations. If the Class Prepayment Distribution Trigger is not satisfied for any Class of Group II Subordinate Certificates on any Distribution Date, this may have the effect of accelerating the amortization of more senior Classes of Group II Subordinate Certificates.

Amount Held for Future Distribution: As to any Distribution Date, the aggregate amount held in the Company’s or the related Servicer’s Protected Account at the close of business on the immediately preceding Determination Date on account of (i) all Scheduled Payments or portions thereof received in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the related Due Period and (ii) Principal Prepayments, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds received in respect of such Mortgage Loans after the last day of the related Prepayment Period.

Applied Realized Loss Amount: With respect to any Class of Group I Subordinate Certificates and as to any Distribution Date, the Realized Losses with respect to the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group I which have been applied in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of that Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 6.05 of this Agreement, which have not previously been reimbursed.

Appraised Value: With respect to any Mortgage Loan originated in connection with a refinancing, the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property based upon the appraisal made at the time of such refinancing or, with respect to any other Mortgage Loan, the lesser of (x) the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property based upon the appraisal made by a fee appraiser at the time of the origination of the related Mortgage Loan, and (y) the sales price of the Mortgaged Property at the time of such origination.

 

 

Assignment Agreement: Shall mean any of the Wachovia Assignment Agreement, the PHH Assignment Agreement, Greenpoint Assignment Agreement or the GMACM Assignment Agreement.

As of the Closing Date, each Class of Offered Certificates constitutes a Class of Book-Entry Certificates.

Business Day: Any day other than (i) a Saturday or a Sunday, or (ii) a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York, New York, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Columbia, Maryland or the city in which the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or the principal office of the Company or the Master Servicer is located are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to be closed.

Certificate Owner: With respect to a Book-Entry Certificate, the Person that is the beneficial owner of such Book-Entry Certificate.

Certificate Principal Balance: With respect to any Class of Certificates (other than the Class I-A-2, Class II-A-4, Class II-X and Class I-R Certificates) and any Distribution Date, is the original Certificate Principal Balance of such Class, less the sum of (i) all amounts in respect of principal distributed to such Class on previous Distribution Dates and (ii) any Applied Realized Loss Amounts allocated to such Class on previous Distribution Dates; provided that, the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Subordinate Certificates with the highest payment priority to which Realized Losses have been allocated shall be increased by the amount of any Subsequent Recoveries on the related Mortgage Loans received by the Master Servicer, but not by more than the amount of Realized Losses previously allocated to reduce the Certificate Principal Balance of that
Certificate and, in the case of Loan Group I, not previously reimbursed to such Certificate as an Applied Realized Loss Amount.

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

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

In connection with such sale, the Depositor has delivered to, and deposited with, the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, the following documents or instruments with respect to each Mortgage Loan so assigned: (i) the original Mortgage Note, including any riders thereto, endorsed without recourse (A) to the order of “U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee for certificateholders of Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC, Asset Backed Certificates, Series 2005-AC3,” or (B) in the case of a loan registered on the MERS system, in blank, and in each case showing to the extent available to the Seller an unbroken chain of endorsements from the original payee thereof to the Person endorsing it to the Trustee, (ii) the original Mortgage and, if the related Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, noting the presence of the MIN and language indicating that such Mortgage Loan is a MOM
Loan, which shall have been recorded (or if the original is not available, a copy), with evidence of such recording indicated thereon (or if clause (x) in the proviso below applies, shall be in recordable form), (iii) unless the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, the assignment (either an original or a copy, which may be in the form of a blanket assignment if permitted in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located) to the Trustee of the Mortgage with respect to each Mortgage Loan in the name of “U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee for certificateholders of Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC, Asset Backed Certificates, Series 2005-AC3,” which shall have been recorded (or if clause (x) in the proviso below applies, shall be in recordable form) (iv) an original or a copy of all intervening assignments of the Mortgage, if any, to the extent available to the Seller, with evidence of recording thereon, (v) the original policy of title insurance or
mortgagee’s certificate of title insurance or commitment or binder for title insurance, if available, or a copy thereof, or, in the event that such original title insurance policy is unavailable, a photocopy thereof, or in lieu thereof, a current lien search on the related Mortgaged Property and (vi) originals or copies of all available assumption, modification or substitution agreements, if any; provided, however, that in lieu of the foregoing, the Seller may deliver the following documents, under the circumstances set forth below: (x) if any Mortgage, assignment thereof to the Trustee or intervening assignments thereof have been delivered or are being delivered to recording offices for recording and have not been returned in time to permit their delivery as specified above, the Depositor may deliver a true copy thereof with a certification by the Seller or the title company issuing the 

 

commitment for title insurance, on the face of such copy, substantially as follows: “Certified to be a true and correct copy of the original, which has been transmitted for recording” and (y) in lieu of the Mortgage Notes relating to the Mortgage Loans identified in the list set forth in Exhibit I, the Depositor may deliver a lost note affidavit and indemnity and a copy of the original note, if available; and provided, further, however, that in the case of Mortgage Loans which have been prepaid in full after the Cut-off Date and prior to the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents, may deliver to the Trustee and its Custodian a certification of a Servicing Officer to such effect and in such case shall deposit all amounts paid in respect of such Mortgage Loans, in the Master Servicer Collection Account or in the Distribution Account on the Closing Date. In the case
of the documents referred to in clause (x) above, the Depositor shall deliver such documents to the Trustee or its Custodian promptly after they are received. The Seller shall cause, at its expense, the Mortgage and intervening assignments, if any, and to the extent required in accordance with the foregoing, the assignment of the Mortgage to the Trustee to be submitted for recording promptly after the Closing Date provided that the Seller need not cause to be recorded any assignment (a) in any jurisdiction under the laws of which, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee delivered by the Seller to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies, the recordation of such assignment is not necessary to protect the Trustee’s interest in the related Mortgage Loan or (b) if MERS is identified on the Mortgage or on a properly recorded assignment of the Mortgage as mortgagee of record solely as nominee for Seller and its successors and assigns. In the event that the Seller, the
Depositor or the Master Servicer gives written notice to the Trustee that a court has recharacterized the sale of the Mortgage Loans as a financing, the Seller shall submit or cause to be submitted for recording as specified above or, should the Seller fail to perform such obligations, the Master Servicer shall cause each such previously unrecorded assignment to be submitted for recording as specified above at the expense of the Trust.

In connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on the MERS® System, the Seller further agrees that it will cause, at the Seller’s own expense, within 30 days after the Closing Date, the MERS® System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Seller to the Depositor and by the Depositor to the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer files (a) the code in the field which identifies the specific Trustee and (b) the code in the field “Pool Field” which identifies the series of the Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans. The Seller further agrees that it will not, and will not permit the Company, any Servicer or the Master Servicer to, and
the Master Servicer agrees that it will not, alter the codes referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan during the term of this Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

	
            Section 2.02
 	
            Acceptance of the Mortgage Loans.
 

(a)        Based on the Initial Certification received by it from the Custodian, the Trustee acknowledges receipt of, subject to the further review and exceptions reported by the Custodian pursuant to the procedures described below, the documents (or certified copies 

 

thereof) delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf pursuant to Section 2.01 and declares that it holds and will continue to hold directly or through a custodian those documents and any amendments, replacements or supplements thereto and all other assets of the Trust Fund delivered to it in trust for the use and benefit of all present and future Holders of the Certificates. On the Closing Date, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf will deliver an Initial Certification confirming whether or not it has received the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan, but without review of such Mortgage File, except to the extent necessary to confirm whether such Mortgage File contains the original Mortgage Note or a lost note affidavit and indemnity in lieu thereof. No later than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf shall, for the benefit of the Certificateholders,
review each Mortgage File delivered to it and execute and deliver to the Seller and, if reviewed by the Custodian, the Trustee, an Interim Certification. In conducting such review, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf will ascertain whether all required documents have been executed and received and whether those documents relate, determined on the basis of the Mortgagor name, original principal balance and loan number, to the Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit B to this Agreement, as supplemented (provided, however, that with respect to those documents described in subclauses (iv) and (vi) of Section 2.01, such obligations shall extend only to documents actually delivered pursuant to such subclauses). In performing any such review, the Trustee and the Custodian may conclusively rely on the purported due execution and genuineness of any such document and on the purported genuineness of any signature thereon. If the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf finds any document
constituting part of the Mortgage File not to have been executed or received, or to be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit B or to appear to be defective on its face, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf shall include such information in the exception report. The Seller shall correct or cure any such defect or, if prior to the end of the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Seller may substitute for the related Mortgage Loan a Replacement Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03 or shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee to the effect that such defect does not materially or adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan within 60 days from the date of notice from the Trustee of the defect and if the Seller fails to correct or cure the defect or deliver such opinion within such period, the Seller will,
subject to Section 2.03, within 90 days from the notification of the Trustee purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price; provided, however, that if such defect relates solely to the inability of the Seller to deliver the Mortgage, assignment thereof to the Trustee, or intervening assignments  thereof with evidence of recording thereon because such documents have been submitted for recording and have not been returned by the applicable jurisdiction, the Seller shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan if the Seller delivers such documents promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date.

(b)        No later than 180 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf will review, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Mortgage Files and will execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered to the Seller and, if reviewed by the Custodian, the Trustee, a Final Certification. In conducting such review, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf will ascertain whether each document required to be recorded has been returned from the recording office with evidence of recording thereon and the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf has received either an original or a copy thereof, as required in Section 2.01 (provided, however, that with respect to those documents described in subclauses (iv) and 

 

(vi) of Section 2.01, such obligations shall extend only to documents actually delivered pursuant to such subclauses). If the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf finds any document with respect to a Mortgage Loan has not been received, or to be unrelated, determined on the basis of the Mortgagor name, original principal balance and loan number, to the Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit B or to appear defective on its face, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf shall note such defect in the exception report attached to the Final Certification and shall promptly notify the Seller. The Seller shall correct or cure any such defect or, if prior to the end of the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Seller may substitute for the related Mortgage Loan a Replacement Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03 or
shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee to the effect that such defect does not materially or adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan within 60 days from the date of notice from the Trustee of the defect and if the Seller is unable within such period to correct or cure such defect, or to substitute the related Mortgage Loan with a Replacement Mortgage Loan or to deliver such opinion, the Seller shall, subject to Section 2.03, within 90 days from the notification of the Trustee, purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price; provided, however, that if such defect relates solely to the inability of the Seller to deliver the Mortgage, assignment thereof to the Trustee or intervening assignments thereof with evidence of recording thereon, because such documents have not been returned by the applicable jurisdiction, the Seller shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan, if the Seller delivers such
documents promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date.

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

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

(c)        The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Trustee as follows, as of the Closing Date:

(i)         The Seller is duly organized as a Delaware corporation and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is duly authorized and qualified to transact any and all business contemplated by this Agreement to be conducted by the Seller in any state in which a Mortgaged Property is located or is otherwise not required under applicable law to effect such qualification and, in any event, is in compliance with the doing business laws of any such state, to the extent necessary to ensure its ability to enforce each Mortgage Loan, to sell the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and to perform any of its other obligations under this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof.

other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.

(iii)        The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Seller, the sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the consummation of any other of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms hereof and thereof are in the ordinary course of business of the Seller and will not (A) result in a material breach of any term or provision of the charter or by-laws of the Seller or (B) materially conflict with, result in a material breach, violation or acceleration of, or result in a material default under, the 

 

terms of any other material agreement or instrument to which the Seller is a party or by which it may be bound, or (C) constitute a material violation of any statute, order or regulation applicable to the Seller of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Seller; and the Seller is not in breach or violation of any material indenture or other material agreement or instrument, or in violation of any statute, order or regulation of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over it which breach or violation may materially impair the Seller’s ability to perform or meet any of its obligations under this Agreement.

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

(v)        No litigation is pending or, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, threatened, against the Seller that would materially and adversely affect the execution, delivery or enforceability of this Agreement or the ability of the Seller to sell the Mortgage Loans or to perform any of its other obligations under this Agreement 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 Seller of, or compliance by the Seller with, this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, or if any such consent, approval, authorization or order is required, the Seller has obtained the same.

(vii)       As of the Closing Date, the representations and warranties concerning the Mortgage Loans set forth in Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement are true and correct in all material respects.

(d)        Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other parties. The Seller hereby covenants with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, that within 90 days of the discovery of a breach of any representation or warranty set forth therein that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, it shall cure such breach in all material respects and, if such breach is not so cured, (i) if such 90-day period expires prior to the second anniversary of
the Closing Date, remove such Mortgage Loan (a “Deleted Mortgage Loan”) from the Trust Fund and substitute in its place a Replacement Mortgage Loan, in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section; or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans from the Trustee at the Purchase Price in the manner set forth below; provided that any such substitution pursuant to (i) above or repurchase pursuant to (ii) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel if required by Section 2.05 hereof and any such substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release. The Seller shall promptly reimburse the Master Servicer and the Trustee for any expenses reasonably incurred by the 

 

Master Servicer or the Trustee in respect of enforcing the remedies for such breach. To enable the Securities Administrator to amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Seller shall, unless it cures such breach in a timely fashion pursuant to this Section 2.03, promptly notify the Securities Administrator whether it intends either to repurchase, or to substitute for, the Mortgage Loan affected by such breach. With respect to the representations and warranties in Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that are made to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, if it is discovered by any of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Seller, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding the Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect
to the substance of such representation or warranty, the Seller shall nevertheless be required to cure, substitute for or repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan in accordance with the foregoing.

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

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

 

the Master Servicer Collection Account, by the Seller delivering such Replacement Mortgage Loan on the Determination Date for the Distribution Date relating to the Prepayment Period during which the related Mortgage Loan became required to be purchased or replaced hereunder.

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

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

Section 2.04     Representations and Warranties of the Depositor. The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee as follows, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date:

(i)         The Depositor is duly organized and is validly existing as limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has full power and authority necessary to own or hold its properties and to conduct its business as now conducted by it and to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(ii)         The Depositor has the full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform, and to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement and has duly authorized, by all necessary action on its part, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement; and this Agreement, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the other parties hereto, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Depositor, enforceable against the Depositor in accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforceability, to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity, regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(iii)        The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Depositor, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms hereof are in the ordinary course of business of the Depositor and will not (A) result in a material breach of any term or provision of the 

 

organizational documents of the Depositor or (B) materially conflict with, result in a material breach, violation or acceleration of, or result in a material default under, the terms of any other material agreement or instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it may be bound or (C) constitute a material violation of any statute, order or regulation applicable to the Depositor of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Depositor; and the Depositor is not in breach or violation of any material indenture or other material agreement or instrument, or in violation of any statute, order or regulation of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over it which breach or violation may materially impair the Depositor’s ability to perform or meet any of its obligations
under this Agreement.

(iv)        No litigation is pending, or, to the best of the Depositor’s knowledge, threatened, against the Depositor that would materially and adversely affect the execution, delivery or enforceability of this Agreement or the ability of the Depositor to perform its obligations under this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof.

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

The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee as of the Closing Date, following the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to it by the Seller, the Depositor had good title to the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Notes were subject to no offsets, claims, defenses or counterclaims.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Trustee or the Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Upon discovery by the Depositor or the Trustee of a breach of such representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the others and to each Rating Agency.

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

(a)        Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not in default or as to which default is not imminent, no repurchase or substitution pursuant to Sections 2.02 or 2.03 shall be made unless the Seller delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect that such repurchase or substitution would not (i) result in the imposition of the tax on “prohibited transactions” of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V or contributions after the Closing Date, as defined in Sections 860F(a)(2) and 860G(d) of the Code, respectively, or (ii) cause any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. Any Mortgage Loan as to which repurchase or substitution was delayed
pursuant to this paragraph shall be repurchased or the substitution therefor shall occur (subject to compliance with Sections 2.02 or 2.03) upon the earlier of (a) the 

 

occurrence of a default or imminent default with respect to such Mortgage Loan and (b) receipt by the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee to the effect that such repurchase or substitution, as applicable, will not result in the events described in clause (i) or clause (ii) of the preceding sentence.

(b)        Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Seller, the Custodian or the Master Servicer that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall promptly (and in any event within 5 Business Days of discovery) give written notice thereof to the other parties and the Trustee. In connection therewith, the Trustee, or the Custodian on its behalf, shall require the Seller, at the Seller’s option, to either (i) substitute, if the conditions in Section 2.03(c) with respect to substitutions are satisfied, a Replacement Mortgage Loan for the affected Mortgage Loan, or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of such discovery in the same manner as it would a Mortgage Loan for a breach of representation or warranty contained
in Section 2.03. The Trustee, or the Custodian on its behalf, shall reconvey to the Seller the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto (and the Custodian shall deliver the related Mortgage File) in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section 2.03.

	
            Section 2.06
 	
            Countersignature and Delivery of Certificates.
 

(a)        The Trustee acknowledges the sale, transfer and assignment to it of the Trust Fund and, concurrently with such transfer and assignment, the Securities Administrator has executed, countersigned and delivered, to or upon the order of the Depositor, the Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing the entire ownership of the Trust Fund.

Article III

 

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF EMC MORTGAGE LOANS BY COMPANY

Section 3.01     The Company. The Company shall service and administer the EMC Mortgage Loans in accordance with customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage loan servicers in the respective states in which the related Mortgaged Properties are located. In connection with such servicing and administration, the Company shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or through subservicers as provided in Section 3.03, to do or cause to be done any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such servicing and administration, including but not limited to, the power and authority, subject to the terms hereof (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to consent
to transfers of any related Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages (but only in the manner provided herein), (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) subject to Section 3.09, to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any EMC Mortgage Loan; provided that the Company shall take no action that is inconsistent with or prejudices the interests of the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders in any EMC Mortgage Loan or the rights and interests of the Depositor and the Trustee under this Agreement.

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

In accordance with the standards of the first paragraph of this Section 3.01, the Company shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties relating to the EMC Mortgage Loans, which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 5.04, and further as provided in Section 5.02. All costs incurred by the Company, if any, in effecting the timely payments of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties relating to the EMC Mortgage Loans and related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the Stated Principal Balance under the related EMC Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.

 

 

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

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

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

 

Trustee the original of such substitution or assumption agreement, which in the case of the original shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. Any fee collected by the Company for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement will be retained by the Company as additional servicing compensation.

Section 3.03     Subservicers. The Company shall perform all of its servicing responsibilities hereunder or may cause a subservicer to perform any such servicing responsibilities on its behalf, but the use by the Company of a subservicer shall not release the Company from any of its obligations hereunder and the Company shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of each subservicer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the Company. The Company shall pay all fees of each subservicer from its own funds, and a subservicer’s fee shall not exceed the Servicing Fee payable to the Company hereunder.

At the cost and expense of the Company, without any right of reimbursement from its Protected Account, the Company shall be entitled to terminate the rights and responsibilities of a subservicer and arrange for any servicing responsibilities to be performed by a successor subservicer; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prevent or prohibit the Company, at the Company’s option, from electing to service the related EMC Mortgage Loans itself. In the event that the Company’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement are terminated pursuant to Section 9.03, the Company shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights and responsibilities of each subservicer effective as of the date of termination of the Company. The Company shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and responsibilities of each
subservicer from the Company’s own funds without reimbursement from the Trust Fund.

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

Any subservicing agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the EMC Mortgage Loans involving a subservicer shall be deemed to be between such subservicer and the Company alone, and neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to such subservicer including any obligation, duty or liability of either the Master Servicer or the Trustee to pay such subservicer’s fees and expenses. For purposes of remittances to the Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have received a payment on an EMC Mortgage Loan when a subservicer has received such payment.

Section 3.04    Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Company To Be Held for Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall transmit to the Trustee as required by this Agreement all documents and instruments in respect of an EMC Mortgage Loan coming into the possession of the Company from time to time and shall account fully to the Trustee for any funds received by the Company or that otherwise are collected by the 

 

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

Section 3.05     Maintenance of Hazard Insurance. The Company shall cause to be maintained, for each EMC Mortgage Loan, hazard insurance on buildings upon, or comprising part of, the Mortgaged Property against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the related Mortgaged Property is located with an insurer which is licensed to do business in the state where the related Mortgaged Property is located. Each such policy of standard hazard insurance shall contain, or have an accompanying endorsement that contains, a standard mortgagee clause. The Company shall also cause flood insurance to be maintained on property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any EMC Mortgage Loan, to the extent described below. Pursuant to Section 5.01, any
amounts collected by the Company under any such policies (other than the amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or property thus acquired or amounts released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Company’s normal servicing procedures) shall be deposited in the Protected Account maintained by the Company. Any cost incurred by the Company in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders or remittances to the Trustee for their benefit, be added to the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the EMC Mortgage Loan so permit. Such costs shall be recoverable by the Company out of late payments by the related Mortgagor or out of Liquidation Proceeds to the extent permitted by Section 5.02. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired
in respect of a Mortgage other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property is located at the time of origination of the related EMC Mortgage Loan in a federally designated special flood hazard area and such area is participating in the national flood insurance program, the Company shall cause flood insurance to be maintained with respect to such EMC Mortgage Loan. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the least of (i) the Stated Principal Balance of the related EMC Mortgage Loan, (ii) minimum amount required to compensate for damage or loss on a replacement cost basis or (iii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended.

 

 

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

Section 3.06    Presentment of Claims and Collection of Proceeds. The Company shall prepare and present on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders all claims under the Insurance Policies relating to the EMC Mortgage Loans and take such actions (including the negotiation, settlement, compromise or enforcement of the insured’s claim) as shall be necessary to realize recovery under such Insurance Policies. Any proceeds disbursed to the Company in respect of such Insurance Policies shall be promptly deposited in the Protected Account maintained by the Company upon receipt, except that any amounts realized that are to be applied to the repair or restoration of the related Mortgaged Property as a condition precedent to the presentation of claims on the related EMC Mortgage Loan to the insurer under any applicable
Insurance Policy need not be so deposited (or remitted).

	
            Section 3.07
 	
            Maintenance of the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies.
 

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

(b)        The Company agrees to present on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies relating to the EMC Mortgage Loans and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies respecting defaulted EMC Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to Section 5.01, any amounts collected by the Company under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the Protected Account maintained by the Company, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 5.02 hereof.

Section 3.08     Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance. The Company shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible companies on all officers, employees or other 

 

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

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

(a)        The Company shall use reasonable efforts to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the EMC Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments. In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Company shall follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and the requirements of the insurer under any Required Insurance Policy; provided that the Company shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration of any property unless it shall determine (i) that such restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the proceeds of
liquidation of the EMC Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself of such expenses and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable to it through Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Protected Account maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 5.02). If the Company reasonably believes that Liquidation Proceeds with respect to any such EMC Mortgage Loan would not be increased as a result of such foreclosure or other action, such EMC Mortgage Loan will be charged-off and will become a Liquidated Loan. The Company will give notice of any such charge-off to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator. The Company shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided that such costs and expenses shall be Servicing Advances and that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgaged Property, as
contemplated in Section 5.02. If the Company has knowledge that a Mortgaged Property that the Company is contemplating acquiring in foreclosure or by deed- in-lieu of foreclosure is located within a one-mile radius of any site with environmental or hazardous waste risks known to the 

 

Company, the Company will, prior to acquiring the related Mortgaged Property, consider such risks and only take action in accordance with its established environmental review procedures.

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

In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on an EMC Mortgage Loan, the Company shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property prior to three years after its acquisition by the Trust Fund or, at the expense of the Trust Fund, request more than 60 days prior to the day on which such three-year period would otherwise expire, an extension of the three-year grace period unless the Trustee shall have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee (such opinion not to be an expense of the Trustee) to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such Mortgaged Property subsequent to such three-year period will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V as defined in Section 860F of the Code or
cause either REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, in which case the Trust Fund may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V to the imposition of any federal, state or local income taxes on the income earned from such Mortgaged Property under Section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless the Company has agreed to indemnify and
hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.

 

 

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

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

The proceeds of any Liquidated Loan from each Loan Group, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of related Liquidation Proceeds or any income from a related REO Property, will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Company for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees, pursuant to Section 5.02 or this Section 3.09; second, to reimburse the Company for any unreimbursed Advances with respect to such Loan Group, pursuant to Section 5.02 or this Section 3.09; third, to accrued and unpaid interest (to the extent no Advance has been made for such amount) on the EMC Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, at the Net Mortgage Rate to the first day of the month in which such amounts are required to be distributed; and fourth, as a recovery of principal of the EMC Mortgage Loan.

(b)        On each Determination Date, the Company shall determine with respect to each Loan Group, the respective aggregate amounts of Excess Liquidation Proceeds and Realized Losses, if any, for the related Prepayment Period.

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

Section 3.10     Servicing Compensation. As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Company shall be entitled to retain or withdraw from its Protected Account out of each payment 

 

of interest on an EMC Mortgage Loan included in the Trust Fund an amount equal to the Servicing Fee.

Additional servicing compensation in the form of any Excess Liquidation Proceeds, assumption fees, late payment charges, all Prepayment Interest Excess on any EMC Mortgage Loan, all income and gain net of any losses realized from Permitted Investments with respect to funds in or credited to the Protected Account maintained by the Company shall be retained by the Company to the extent not required to be deposited in the Protected Account maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 5.02. The Company shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including payment of any premiums for hazard insurance, as required by Section 3.05 and maintenance of the other forms of insurance coverage required by Section 3.07) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided in Section 5.02.

EMC will be entitled to retain any Prepayment Interest Excess pursuant to Section 5.07(e).

	
            Section 3.11
 	
            REO Property.
 

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

(b)        The Company shall deposit all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property in respect of any EMC Mortgage Loan into the Protected Account maintained by the Company.

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

 

 

Section 3.12     Liquidation Reports. Upon the foreclosure of any Mortgaged Property relating to an EMC Mortgage Loan or the acquisition thereof by the Trust Fund pursuant to a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the Company shall submit a liquidation report to the Master Servicer containing such information as shall be mutually acceptable to the Company and the Master Servicer with respect to such Mortgaged Property.

	
            Section 3.13
 	
            Annual Statement as to Compliance; Annual Certification.
 

The Company will deliver to the Master Servicer not later than March 1, 2006 and not later than March 1 of each year thereafter, a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Company 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 Company has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officers and the nature and status thereof except for such defaults as such officer in its good faith judgment believe to be immaterial.

(a)        (i)  The Company will deliver to the Master Servicer, on or before March 1 of each year beginning March 1, 2006 (or, if any such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day), or on any alternative date specified by the Master Servicer upon thirty (30) days written request, a certification containing the information set forth in Exhibit K. Such certification shall be signed by the senior officer in charge of servicing of the Company. In addition, the Company shall provide such other information with respect to the EMC Mortgage Loans and the servicing and administration thereof within the control of the Company which shall be required to enable the Master Servicer to comply with the reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

(ii)         The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer and its officers, directors, agents and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach by the Company or any of its officers, directors, agents or affiliates of its obligations under this Section 3.13(b) or the Company’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Master Servicer, then the Company agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Master Servicer as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Master Servicer in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Master Servicer on the one hand and the Company on the other in connection with a breach of the Company’s obligations under this Section 3.13(b).

Section 3.14     Annual Independent Certified Public Accountants’ Servicing Report. The Company at its expense shall cause a firm of independent public accountants which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish not later than March 1, 2006 and not later than March 1 of each year thereafter a statement, in a form acceptable for filing with the Commission on an Exhibit to Form 10-K, to the Master Servicer to the effect that, with respect to the preceding calendar year such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the Company’s servicing of mortgage loans of the same type as the EMC Mortgage 

 

Loans pursuant to servicing agreements substantially similar to this Agreement, which agreements may include this Agreement, and that, on the basis of such an examination, conducted substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, such firm is of the opinion that the Company’s servicing has been conducted in compliance with the agreements examined pursuant to this Section 3.14, except for (i) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial,(ii) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement and (iii) such exceptions that the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers requires it to report.

Section 3.15     Books and Records. The Company shall be responsible for maintaining, and shall maintain, a complete set of books and records for the EMC Mortgage Loans which shall be appropriately identified in the Company’s computer system to clearly reflect the ownership of the EMC Mortgage Loans by the Trust. In particular, the Company shall maintain in its possession, available for inspection by the Master Servicer and the Trustee and shall deliver to Master Servicer and the Trustee upon demand, evidence of compliance with all federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations. To the extent that original documents are not required for purposes of realization of Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, documents maintained by the Company may be in the form of microfilm or microfiche or such other
reliable means of recreating original documents, including, but not limited to, optical imagery techniques so long as the Company complies with the requirements of Accepted Servicing Practices.

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

 

 

Article IV

 

ADMINISTRATION AND MASTER SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS BY MASTER SERVICER

Section 4.01     Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall, beginning on the Closing Date, supervise, monitor and oversee the obligation of the Company and the related Servicer to service and administer their respective Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement and shall have full power and authority to do any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such master servicing and administration. In performing its obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a manner consistent with Accepted Master Servicing Practices. Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall oversee and consult with the Company and the related Servicer as necessary from time-to-time to carry out the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder, shall
receive, review and evaluate all reports, information and other data provided to the Master Servicer by the Company and the related Servicer and shall cause the Company and related Servicer to perform and observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by such Person under this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall independently and separately monitor the Company and the related Servicer’s servicing activities with respect to each related Mortgage Loan, reconcile the results of such monitoring with such information provided in the previous sentence on a monthly basis and coordinate corrective adjustments to the Company’s, the related Servicer’s and Master Servicer’s records, and based on such reconciled and corrected information, the Master Servicer shall provide such information to the Securities Administrator as shall be necessary in order for it to prepare the statements specified in Section 6.06
and any other information and statements required hereunder. The Master Servicer shall reconcile the results of its Mortgage Loan monitoring with the actual remittances of the Company and each Servicer pursuant to this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement.

The Trustee shall furnish the Company, the Servicers and the Master Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents in form as provided to it necessary or appropriate to enable the Company, the Servicer and the Master Servicer to service and administer the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property.

The Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf and the Securities Administrator shall provide access to the records and documentation in possession of the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf or the Securities Administrator regarding the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property and the servicing thereof to the Certificateholders, the FDIC, and the supervisory agents and examiners of the FDIC, such access being afforded only upon reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours at the office of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Securities Administrator; provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by law, neither the Trustee, the Custodian nor the Securities Administrator shall be required to provide access to such records and documentation if the provision thereof would violate the legal right to privacy of any Mortgagor. The Trustee, the Custodian and the Securities
Administrator shall allow representatives of the above entities to photocopy any of the records and documentation and shall provide equipment for that purpose at a charge that covers the Trustee’s, the Custodian’s or the Securities Administrator’s actual costs.

 

 

The Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Company or the related Servicer and the Master Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents necessary or desirable to (i) the foreclosure or trustee’s sale with respect to a Mortgaged Property; (ii) any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Security Instrument; (iii) obtain a deficiency judgment against the Mortgagor; or (iv) enforce any other rights or remedies provided by the Mortgage Note or Security Instrument or otherwise available at law or equity.

Section 4.02     REMIC-Related Covenants. For as long as each REMIC created hereunder shall exist, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall act in accordance herewith to assure continuing treatment of such REMIC as a REMIC, and the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall comply with any directions of the Seller, the Company, the Servicers or the Master Servicer to assure such continuing treatment. In particular, the Trustee shall not (a) sell or permit the sale of all or any portion of the Mortgage Loans or of any investment of deposits in an Account unless such sale is as a result of a repurchase of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement or the Trustee has received a REMIC Opinion addressed to the Trustee prepared at the expense of the Trust Fund; and (b) other than with respect to a
substitution pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.03 of this Agreement, as applicable, accept any contribution to any REMIC after the Startup Day without receipt of a REMIC Opinion.

	
            Section 4.03
 	
            Monitoring of Company and Servicer.
 

(a)        The Master Servicer shall be responsible for reporting to the Trustee and the Seller the compliance by the Company and the related Servicer with its duties under this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement. In the review of the Company’s and the related Servicer’s activities, the Master Servicer may rely upon an Officer’s Certificate of the Company and the related Servicer with regard to such Person’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines that the Company or the related Servicer should be terminated in accordance with this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement with respect to the occurrence of an event
that, unless cured, would constitute grounds for such termination, the Master Servicer shall notify the Seller and the Trustee thereof and the Master Servicer shall issue such notice or take such other action as it deems appropriate.

(b)        The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of the Company under this Agreement and the related Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement, and shall, in the event that the Company or the related Servicer fails to perform its obligations in accordance with this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, subject to the preceding paragraph, terminate the rights and obligations of such Person thereunder and act as servicer of the related Mortgage Loans or to cause the Trustee to enter into a new Servicing Agreement with a successor Servicer selected by the Master Servicer; provided, however, it is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can be fully
transferred to such successor Servicer. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of the related Servicing Agreement 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, subject to its right of reimbursement pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, provided that the Master Servicer shall not be required to prosecute or defend any legal action except to the extent that the Master Servicer shall have received reasonable indemnity for its costs and expenses in pursuing such action.

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

(d)        The Master Servicer shall require the Company and the related Servicer to comply with the remittance requirements and other obligations set forth in this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable.

(e)        If the Master Servicer acts as a servicer, it will not assume liability for the representations and warranties of the Company or the related Servicer, if any, that it replaces.

Section 4.04     Fidelity Bond. The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, affording coverage with respect to all directors, officers, employees and other Persons acting on such Master Servicer’s behalf, and covering errors and omissions in the performance of the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder. The errors and omissions insurance policy and the fidelity bond shall be in such form and amount generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicers or trustees.

Section 4.05     Power to Act; Procedures. The Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and authority, subject to the REMIC Provisions and the provisions of Article XI hereof, to do any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the master servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to the power and authority (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages, (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the
Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not (and, consistent with its responsibilities under 

 

Section 4.03, shall not permit the Company or the related Servicer to) knowingly or intentionally take any action, or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, would cause REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) unless the Master Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel (but not at the expense of the Master Servicer) to the effect that the contemplated action will not cause REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V to fail to qualify
as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V as the case may be. The Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer, upon written request from a Servicing Officer, with any powers of attorney empowering the Master Servicer, the Company or the related Servicer to execute and deliver instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and to foreclose upon or otherwise liquidate Mortgaged Property, and to appeal, prosecute or defend in any court action relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Property, in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such other documents, as the Master Servicer may request, to enable the Master Servicer to master service and administer the Mortgage Loans and carry out its duties hereunder, in each case in accordance with Accepted Master Servicing Practices (and the Trustee shall have no
liability for misuse of any such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer, the Company or the related Servicer). If the Master Servicer or the Trustee has been advised that it is likely that the laws of the state in which action is to be taken prohibit such action if taken in the name of the Trustee or that the Trustee would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state if such action is taken in its name, the Master Servicer shall join with the Trustee in the appointment of a co-trustee pursuant to Section 10.11 hereof. In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be an independent contractor and shall not, except in those instances where it is taking action in the name of the Trustee, be deemed to be the agent of the Trustee.

Section 4.06     Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements. To the extent provided in this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, to the extent Mortgage Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master Servicer shall cause the Company and the related Servicer to enforce such clauses in accordance with this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement. If applicable law prohibits the enforcement of a due-on-sale clause or such clause is otherwise not enforced in accordance with this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, and, as a consequence, a Mortgage Loan is assumed, the original Mortgagor may be released from liability in accordance with this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement.

	
            Section 4.07
 	
            Release of Mortgage Files.
 

(a)        Upon becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Company or the related Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes for payment to Certificateholders on the next Distribution Date, the Company or the related Servicer will, if required under the related  Servicing Agreement (or if the Company or the related Servicer does not, the Master Servicer may), promptly furnish to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, two copies of a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto signed by a Servicing Officer or in a mutually 

 

agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment that are required to be deposited in the Protected Account maintained by the Company or the Servicer pursuant to Article V or by the related Servicer pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement have been or will be so deposited) and shall request that the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, deliver to the Company or the related Servicer the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the Company or the related Servicer and the Trustee and Custodian shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. Upon any such payment in full, the Company
or the related Servicer is authorized, to give, as agent for the Trustee, as the mortgagee under the Mortgage that secured the Mortgage Loan, an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of mortgage without recourse, representation or warranty) regarding the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor of such payment, it being understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be chargeable to the Protected Account.

(b)        From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and in accordance with this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall execute such documents as shall be prepared and furnished to the Trustee by the Company, the related Servicer or the Master Servicer (in form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) and as are necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. The Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall, upon the request of the Company, the related Servicer or the Master Servicer, and delivery to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, of two copies of a request for release signed by a Servicing Officer substantially in the form of Exhibit G (or in a mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer),
release the related Mortgage File held in its possession or control to the Company, the related Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable. Such trust receipt shall obligate the Company, the related Servicer or the Master Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, when the need therefor by such Person no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that hereinabove specified, the Mortgage File shall be released by the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, to the Company, the related Servicer or the Master Servicer.

Section 4.08     Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Master Servicer, Company and Servicer To Be Held for Trustee. 

(a)        The Master Servicer shall transmit and the Company or the related Servicer (to the extent required by this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement) shall transmit to the Trustee or Custodian such documents and instruments coming into the possession of such Person from time to time as are required by the terms hereof, or in the case of the related Servicer, the related Servicing Agreement, to be delivered to the Trustee or Custodian. Any funds received by the Master Servicer, the Company or by the related Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loan or which otherwise are collected by the Master Servicer, the Company or by the related Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan shall be held for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders subject to the Master 

 

Servicer’s right to retain or withdraw from the Master Servicer Collection Account, the Master Servicing Compensation and other amounts provided in this Agreement, and to the right of the Company and the related Servicer to retain its Servicing Fee and other amounts as provided in this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall, and (to the extent provided in this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement) shall cause the Company and the related Servicer to, provide access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, its agents and accountants at any time upon reasonable request and during normal business hours, and to Certificateholders that are savings and loan associations, banks or insurance companies, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of such Office and Corporation or examiners of
any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority if so required by applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision or other regulatory authority, such access to be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request in writing and during normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it. In fulfilling such a request the Master Servicer shall not be responsible for determining the sufficiency of such information.

(b)        All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the Master Servicer, in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, shall be held by the Master Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee; provided, however, that the Master Servicer, the Company and the related Servicer shall be entitled to setoff against, and deduct from, any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master Servicer or such Servicer under this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement.

	
            Section 4.09
 	
            Standard Hazard Insurance and Flood Insurance Policies.
 

(a)        For each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall enforce any obligation of the Company and the related Servicer under this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement to maintain or cause to be maintained standard fire and casualty insurance and, where applicable, flood insurance, all in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement. It is understood and agreed that such insurance shall be with insurers meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement and that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or to be maintained on property acquired in respect of a defaulted loan, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.

(b)        Pursuant to Sections 5.01, 5.04 and 5.05 any amounts collected by the Company, the Servicers or the Master Servicer, or by the Company or the Servicers, under any insurance policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with this Agreement or the Servicing Agreements) shall be deposited by the Company in its Protected Account or by the related Servicer or the Master Servicer into the Master Servicer Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Sections 5.02, 5.04, 5.05 and 5.07, as applicable. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer, the Company or the related Servicer in maintaining any such insurance if the Mortgagor defaults in its obligation to do so shall be added to the amount owing under the Mortgage Loan
where the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit; provided, however, that the 

 

addition of any such cost shall not be taken into account for purposes of calculating the distributions to be made to Certificateholders and shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer, the Company or the related Servicer pursuant to Sections 5.02, 5.04, 5.05 and 5.07, as applicable.

Section 4.10     Presentment of Claims and Collection of Proceeds. The Master Servicer shall (to the extent provided in this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement) cause the Company or the Servicer to, prepare and present on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders all claims under the Insurance Policies and take such actions (including the negotiation, settlement, compromise or enforcement of the insured’s claim) as shall be necessary to realize recovery under such policies. Any proceeds disbursed to the Master Servicer (or disbursed to the Company or the related Servicer and remitted to the Master Servicer) in respect of such policies, bonds or contracts shall be promptly deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account upon receipt, except that any amounts realized that are to be applied to
the repair or restoration of the related Mortgaged Property as a condition precedent to the presentation of claims on the related Mortgage Loan to the insurer under any applicable Insurance Policy need not be so deposited (or remitted).

	
            Section 4.11
 	
            Maintenance of the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies.
 

(a)        The Master Servicer shall not take, or permit the Company or the related Servicer (to the extent such action is prohibited under this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement) to take, any action that would result in noncoverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Master Servicer, the Company or the related Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The Master Servicer shall use its best reasonable efforts to cause the Company and the related Servicer (to the extent required under this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement) to keep in force and effect (to the extent that the Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance), primary mortgage insurance applicable to each Mortgage Loan (including any LPMI Policy) in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer shall not, and shall not permit the Company or the related Servicer (to the extent required under this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement) to, cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the Mortgage Note and is required to be kept in force hereunder except in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable.

(b)        The Master Servicer agrees to cause the Company and the related Servicer (to the extent required under this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement) to present, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to Sections 5.01, 5.04 and 5.05, any amounts collected by the Company or the related Servicer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies shall be deposited by the Company in its Protected Account or by the related Servicer in the Master Servicer Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 5.04 or 5.05, as applicable.

 

 

Section 4.12     Trustee to Retain Possession of Certain Insurance Policies and Documents. The Trustee (or the Custodian, as directed by the Trustee), shall retain possession and custody of the originals (to the extent available) of any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, or certificate of insurance if applicable, and any certificates of renewal as to the foregoing as may be issued from time to time as contemplated by this Agreement. Until all amounts distributable in respect of the Certificates have been distributed in full and the Master Servicer otherwise has fulfilled its obligations under this Agreement, the Trustee (or its Custodian, if any, as directed by the Trustee) shall also retain possession and custody of each Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian, as directed by the Trustee), upon the execution or receipt thereof the originals of any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, any certificates of renewal, and such other documents or instruments that constitute portions of the Mortgage File that come into the possession of the Master Servicer from time to time.

Section 4.13     Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall cause the Company and the related Servicer (to the extent required under this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement) to foreclose upon, repossess or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of Mortgaged 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, all in accordance with this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement.

Section 4.14     Compensation for the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to (i) all income and gain realized from any investment of funds on Permitted Investments in the Master Servicer Collection Account and Distribution Account as compensation for the performance of its obligations hereunder (“Master Servicing Compensation”) and (ii) any interest remitted by the related Servicer in connection with a Principal Prepayment in full or otherwise in excess of amounts required to be remitted to the Master Servicer Collection Account (“Additional Master Servicing Compensation”). The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as provided in this Agreement.

	
            Section 4.15
 	
            REO Property.
 

(a)        In the event the Trust Fund acquires ownership of any REO Property in respect of any related Mortgage Loan, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee, or to its nominee, on behalf of the related Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall, to the extent provided in this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, cause the Company or the related Servicer to sell, any REO Property as expeditiously as possible and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall cause the Company or the related Servicer to protect and conserve, such REO Property in the manner and to the extent required by this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, in accordance with the REMIC Provisions and in a
manner that does not result in a tax on “net income from foreclosure property” or cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code.

 

 

(b)        The Master Servicer shall, to the extent required by this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, cause the Company or the related Servicer to deposit all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property in the Protected Account.

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

(d)        To the extent provided in this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, the Liquidation Proceeds from the final disposition of the REO Property, net of any payment to the Master Servicer and the Company or the related Servicer as provided above shall be deposited in the Protected Account on or prior to the Determination Date in the month following receipt thereof and be remitted by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the Master Servicer for deposit into the related Master Servicer Collection Account on the next succeeding Remittance Date.

	
            Section 4.16
 	
            Annual Officer’s Certificate as to Compliance.
 

(a)        The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Rating Agencies on or before March 1 of each year, commencing on March 1, 2006, an Officer’s Certificate, certifying that with respect to the period ending December 31 of the prior year: (i) such Servicing Officer has reviewed the activities of such Master Servicer during the preceding calendar year or portion thereof and its performance under this Agreement, (ii) to the best of such Servicing Officer’s knowledge, based on such review, such Master Servicer has performed and fulfilled its duties, responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement in all material respects throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such duties, responsibilities or obligations, specifying each such default known to such
Servicing Officer and the nature and status thereof, (iii) nothing has come to the attention of such Servicing Officer to lead such Servicing Officer to believe that the Company or any Servicer has failed to perform any of its duties, responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement in all material respects throughout such year, or, if there has been a material default in the performance or fulfillment of any such duties, responsibilities or obligations, specifying each such default known to such Servicing Officer and the nature and status thereof.

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

Section 4.17     Annual Independent Accountant’s Servicing Report. If the Master Servicer has, during the course of any fiscal year, directly serviced any of the Mortgage Loans, 

 

then the Master Servicer at its expense shall cause a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants to furnish a statement to the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, the Rating Agencies and the Seller on or before March 1 of each year, commencing on March 1, 2006 to the effect that, with respect to the most recently ended fiscal year, such firm has examined certain records and documents relating to the Master Servicer’s performance of its servicing obligations under this Agreement and pooling and servicing and trust agreements in material respects similar to this Agreement and to each other and that, on the basis of such examination conducted substantially in compliance with the audit program for mortgages serviced for Freddie Mac or the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, such firm is of the opinion that the Master Servicer’s activities have been
conducted in compliance with this Agreement, or that such examination has disclosed no material items of noncompliance except for (i) such exceptions as such firm believes to be immaterial, (ii) such other exceptions as are set forth in such statement and (iii) such exceptions that the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Program for Mortgages Serviced by Freddie Mac requires it to report. Copies of such statements shall be provided to any Certificateholder upon request by the Master Servicer, or by the Trustee at the expense of the Master Servicer if the Master Servicer shall fail to provide such copies (unless (i) the Master Servicer shall have failed to provide the Trustee with such statement or (ii) the Trustee shall be unaware of the Master Servicer’s failure to provide such statement). If such report discloses exceptions that are material, the Master Servicer shall advise the Trustee whether such exceptions have been or are susceptible of
cure, and will take prompt action to do so.

Section 4.18     Reports Filed with Securities and Exchange Commission. Within 15 days after each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall, in accordance with industry standards, 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) a copy of the statement to the Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to January 30 in each year, the Securities Administrator shall, in accordance with industry standards 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 Master Servicer shall provide the Securities Administrator with a Master Servicer Certification, together with a copy of the annual independent accountant’s servicing report and annual statement of compliance of the Company to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement and each Servicer, in each case, required to be delivered pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement, and, if applicable, the annual independent accountant’s servicing report and annual statement of compliance to be delivered by the Master Servicer pursuant to Sections 4.16 and 4.17. 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 Securities Administrator shall file a Form 10-K, in substance conforming to industry standards, with respect to the Trust. Such Form 10-K shall include the Master Servicer Certification and other documentation
provided by the Master Servicer pursuant to the second preceding sentence. The Depositor hereby grants to the Securities Administrator a limited power of attorney to execute and file each such document on behalf of the Depositor. Such power of attorney shall continue until either the earlier of (i) receipt by the Securities Administrator from the Depositor of written termination of such power of attorney and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund. The Depositor agrees to promptly furnish to the Securities Administrator, 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 Securities Administrator reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the Commission. The Securities Administrator shall have no responsibility to file any items other than those specified in this Section 4.18; provided, however, the Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator under the Exchange Act shall be sent to: the Depositor c/o Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc., Attn: Managing Director-Analysis and Control, One Metrotech Center North, Brooklyn, New York
11202-3859. Fees and expenses incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection with this Section 4.18 shall not be reimbursable from the Trust Fund.

Section 4.19     UCC. The Trustee agrees to file continuation statements for any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements which the Seller has informed the Trustee were filed on the Closing Date in connection with the Trust. The Seller shall file any financing statements or amendments thereto required by any change in the Uniform Commercial Code.

Section 4.20     Optional Purchase of Certain Mortgage Loans. With respect to any Mortgage Loans which as of the first day of a Fiscal Quarter is delinquent in payment by 90 days or more or is an REO Property, EMC shall have the right to purchase any Mortgage Loan from the Trust which becomes 90 days or more delinquent or becomes an REO Property at a price equal to the Repurchase Price; provided however (i) that such Mortgage Loan is still 90 days or more delinquent or is an REO Property as of the date of such purchase and (ii) this purchase option, if not theretofore exercised, shall terminate on the date prior to the last day of the related Fiscal Quarter. This purchase option, if not exercised, shall not be thereafter reinstated unless the delinquency is cured and the Mortgage Loan thereafter again becomes 90 days
or more delinquent or becomes an REO Property, in which case the option shall again become exercisable as of the first day of the related Fiscal Quarter.

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

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

 

 

Article V

 

ACCOUNTS

	
            Section 5.01
 	
            Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments; Protected Account.
 

(a)        The Company shall make reasonable efforts in accordance with customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage lenders in the respective states in which the Mortgaged Properties related to the EMC Mortgage Loans are located to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the EMC Mortgage Loans to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any related Required Insurance Policy. Consistent with the foregoing, the Company may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge and (ii) extend the due dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note related to an EMC Mortgage Loan for a period not greater than 125 days. In the event of any such arrangement, the Company shall make Advances on the related EMC Mortgage Loan during the scheduled period in accordance
with the amortization schedule of such EMC Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements, and shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor in accordance with Section 6.01. The Company shall not be required to institute or join in litigation with respect to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage Note or otherwise or against any public or governmental authority with respect to a taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes that enforcing the provision of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which such payment is required is prohibited by applicable law. In addition, if (x) an EMC Mortgage Loan is in default or default is imminent or (y) the Company delivers to the Trustee a certification addressed to the Trustee, based on the advice of counsel or certified public accountants, in either case, that have a national reputation with respect to taxation of REMICs, that a modification of such EMC Mortgage Loan will not result in
the imposition of taxes on or disqualify from REMIC status any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V, the Company may, (A) amend the related Mortgage Note to reduce the Mortgage Rate applicable thereto, provided that such reduced Mortgage Rate shall in no event be lower than 5.00% with respect to any EMC Mortgage Loan and (B) amend any Mortgage Note related to an EMC Mortgage Loan to extend to the maturity thereof.

In accordance with the standards of the first paragraph of Section 3.01, the Company shall not waive (or permit a sub-servicer to waive) any Prepayment Charge related to an EMC Mortgage Loan unless: (i) the enforceability thereof shall have been limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally, (ii) the enforcement thereof is illegal, or any local, state or federal agency has threatened legal action if the prepayment penalty is enforced, (iii) the collectability thereof shall have been limited due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment or (iv) such waiver is standard and customary in servicing similar Mortgage Loans and relates to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking
into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and the related EMC Mortgage Loan. If a Prepayment Charge is waived, but does not meet the standards described above, then the Company is required to pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge, for the benefit of the Class P Certificates, by remitting such amount to the Master Servicer by the Remittance Date.

 

 

(b)        The Company shall establish and maintain a Protected Account (which shall at all times be an Eligible Account) with a depository institution in the name of the Company for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and designated “U.S. Bank National Association, in trust for registered holders of Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC, Asset-Backed Certificates Series 2005-AC3”. The Company shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the Protected Account on a daily basis within one Business Day of receipt, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the following payments and collections remitted by subservicers or received by it in respect of the EMC Mortgage Loans subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest due on the EMC Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off
Date) and the following amounts required to be deposited hereunder:

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

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

(iii)        all Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds with respect to any EMC Mortgage Loans, other than proceeds to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Company’s normal servicing procedures;

(iv)        any amount required to be deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 5.01(c) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments;

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

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

The foregoing requirements for remittance by the Company into the Protected Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges or assumption fees, if collected, need not be remitted by the Company. In the event that the Company shall remit any amount not required to be remitted and not otherwise subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 5.02, it may at any time withdraw or direct the institution maintaining the Protected Account, to withdraw such amount from the Protected Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such withdrawal or direction may be accomplished by delivering written notice thereof to the institution maintaining the Protected Account, that describes the amounts deposited in error in the Protected Account. The Company shall maintain adequate
records with respect to all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section. All funds deposited in the Protected Account shall be held in trust for the Certificateholders until withdrawn in accordance with Section 5.02.

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

 

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

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

	
            Section 5.02
 	
            Permitted Withdrawals From the Protected Account.
 

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

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

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

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

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

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

(vi)        to pay to the Seller, the Depositor or itself, as applicable, with respect to each EMC Mortgage Loan or property acquired in respect thereof that has been

In addition, no later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern time on the Remittance Date, the Company shall withdraw from the Protected Account and remit to the Master Servicer the amount required to be withdrawn therefrom pursuant to Section 5.05 hereof. With respect to any remittance received by the Master Servicer from EMC after the date on which such remittance was due, EMC shall pay to the Master Servicer interest on any such late remittance at an annual rate equal to the prime rate announced to be in effect from time to time as published as the average rate in The Wall Street Journal (Northeast Edition), plus two percentage points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be deposited in EMC’s Protected Account by EMC on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the day following the date on which such
remittance was due and ending with the Business Day on which such remittance is made, both inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted along with the distribution payable on the next succeeding Remittance Date. The payment by EMC of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default with respect to EMC.

The Company shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Protected Account pursuant to subclauses (i), (ii), (iv), (v) and (vi) above.

Section 5.03     Reports to Master Servicer. On or before the tenth calendar day of each month, the Company shall furnish to the Master Servicer electronically in a format acceptable to the Master Servicer loan accounting reports in the investor’s assigned loan number order to document the payment activity on each EMC Mortgage Loan on an individual mortgage loan basis. With respect to each month, such loan accounting reports shall contain the following:

Nothing herein shall require the Company to compel a Mortgagor to establish an Escrow Account in violation of applicable law.

Withdrawals of amounts so collected from the Escrow Accounts may be made only to effect timely payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, condominium or PUD association dues, or comparable items, to reimburse the Company out of related collections for any payments made with respect to each EMC Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to taxes and assessments and insurance premiums) and Section 3.05 (with respect to hazard insurance), to refund to any Mortgagors for any EMC Mortgage Loans any sums as may be determined to be overages, to pay interest, if required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note, to such Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account or to clear and terminate the Escrow Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 11.01 thereof.

Article VI

 

DISTRIBUTIONS AND ADVANCES

	
            Section 6.01
 	
            Advances.
 

(a)        The Company shall make an Advance with respect to any EMC Mortgage Loan and deposit such Advance in the Master Servicer Collection Account no later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern time on the Remittance Date in immediately available funds. The Master Servicer shall cause the related Servicer to remit any such Advance required pursuant to the terms of the related Servicing Agreement. The Company or the related Servicer, as applicable, shall be obligated to make any such Advance only to the extent that such advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the Company or the related Servicer shall have determined that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that a proposed Advance or a lesser portion of such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Company or the related Servicer, as the case may be, shall deliver (i) to the Securities
Administrator for the benefit of the Certificateholders funds constituting the remaining portion of such Advance, if applicable, and (ii) to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, each Rating Agency and the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the basis for such determination.

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

The Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Protected Account for all Advances of its own funds made pursuant to this Section as provided in Section 5.02. The obligation to make Advances with respect to any EMC Mortgage Loan shall continue until such EMC Mortgage Loan is paid in full or the related Mortgaged Property or related REO Property has been liquidated or until the purchase or repurchase thereof (or substitution therefor) from the Trust Fund pursuant to any applicable provision of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.01.

(b)        If the Scheduled Payment on a Mortgage Loan that was due on a related Due Date and is delinquent other than as a result of application of the Relief Act and for which the Company or the related Servicer was required to make an Advance pursuant to this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement exceeds the amount deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account which will be used for an Advance with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account not later than the Distribution Account Deposit Date immediately preceding the related Distribution Date an amount equal to such deficiency, net of the Servicing Fee for such Mortgage Loan except to the extent the Master Servicer determines any such Advance to be nonrecoverable from Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or future
payments on the Mortgage Loan for which such Advance was made. Subject to the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall continue to make such Advances 

 

through the date that the Company or the related Servicer is required to do so under this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable. If applicable, on the Distribution Account Deposit Date, the Master Servicer shall present an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee (i) stating that the Master Servicer elects not to make an Advance in a stated amount and (ii) detailing the reason it deems the advance to be nonrecoverable.

Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Article IX hereof, in the event the Master Servicer fails to make such Advance, then the Trustee, as Successor Master Servicer, shall be obligated to make such Advance, subject to the provisions of this Section 6.01.

	
            Section 6.02
 	
            Compensating Interest Payments.
 

(a)        In the event that there is a Prepayment Interest Shortfall arising from a voluntary Principal Prepayment in part or in full by the Mortgagor with respect to any EMC Mortgage Loan, the Company shall, to the extent of the Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date, deposit into the Master Servicer Collection Account, as a reduction of the Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date, no later than the close of business on the Remittance Date immediately preceding such Distribution Date, an amount equal to the Prepayment Interest Shortfall; and in case of such deposit, the Company shall not be entitled to any recovery or reimbursement from the Depositor, the Trustee, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders.

(b)        The Master Servicer shall cause each Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement to remit any required Compensating Interest Payments to the Master Servicer Collection Account on the Remittance Date.

(c)        The Master Servicer shall be required to remit the amount of any such Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, to the extent of the Master Servicing Compensation for such Distribution Date, in the event the Company or the related Servicer is required to make such payment but fails to do so.

On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator, as agent for the Trustee, shall be deemed to make distributions to the REMIC I Regular Interests, the REMIC II Regular Interests, the REMIC III Regular Interests and the REMIC IV Regular Interests in accordance with Section 6.07 hereof.

	
            Section 6.04

Any Excess Spread for Loan Group I to the extent necessary to meet a level of overcollateralization equal to the Group I Overcollateralization Target Amount will be the Group I Extra Principal Distribution Amount and will be included as part of the Principal Distribution Amount with respect to  Loan Group I.

first, to the Class II-A-1, Class II-A-2, Class II-A-3, Class II-A-4 and Class II-X Certificates, on a pro rata basis, the Accrued Certificate Interest on such Classes for such Distribution Date.

second, to the Class II-A-1, Class II-A-2, Class II-A-3, Class II-A-4 and Class II-X Certificates, on a pro rata basis, any Accrued Certificate Interest thereon remaining undistributed from previous Distribution Dates, to the extent of remaining Group II Available Funds.

third, concurrently as follows:

1.          to the extent of the remaining Group II Available Funds related to Subgroup II-1, first, to the Class II-R-1, Class II-R-2 and Class II-R-3 Certificates, concurrently, on a pro rata basis, as principal, in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balances thereof, until the Certificate Principal Balances thereof have been reduced to zero, and then, to the Class II-A-1 Certificates and Class II-A-2 Certificates, as principal, the Subgroup Principal Distribution Amount for Subgroup II-1, concurrently on a pro rata 

 

basis, in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balances thereof, until the Certificate Principal Balances thereof have been reduced to zero; and

2.          to the extent of the remaining Group II Available Funds related to Subgroup II-2, to the Class II-A-3 Certificates, as principal, the Subgroup Principal Distribution Amount for Subgroup II-2, in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance thereof, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero.   

fourth, to the Class II-PO Certificates, the Class II-PO Certificate Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date to the extent of the remaining Group II Available Funds, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and

fifth, to the Class II-PO Certificates, the Class II-PO Certificate Deferred Amount, provided, that (i) on any Distribution Date, distributions pursuant to this priority fifth shall not exceed the excess, if any, of (x) Group II Available Funds remaining after giving effect to distributions pursuant to priority first through fourth above over (y) the sum of the amount of Accrued Certificate Interest for such Distribution Date and Accrued Certificate Interest remaining undistributed from previous Distribution Dates on all Classes of Group II Subordinate Certificates then outstanding, (ii) such distributions shall not reduce the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class II-PO Certificates and (iii) no
distribution will be made in respect of the Class II-PO Certificate Deferred Amount on or after the related Cross-Over Date.

(c)        Except as provided below, on each Distribution Date on or prior to the related Cross-Over Date, an amount equal to the sum of the remaining Group II Available Funds after the distributions in (b) above will be distributed sequentially, in the following order, to the Class II-B-1, Class II-B-2, Class II-B-3, Class II-B-4, Class II-B-5 and Class II-B-6 Certificates, respectively, in each case up to an amount equal to and in the following order: (a) the Accrued Certificate Interest thereon for such Distribution Date, (b) any Accrued Certificate Interest thereon remaining undistributed from previous Distribution Dates and (c) such Class’s Allocable Share, if any, for such Distribution Date, in each case, to the extent of the sum of the remaining Group II Available Funds.

(d)        If, after distributions have been made pursuant to priorities first and second of clause (b) above on any Distribution Date, the remaining Group II Available Funds related to Subgroup II-1 is less than the sum of the Subgroup Principal Distribution Amount for Subgroup II-1 and Class II-PO Certificate Principal Distribution Amount or the remaining Group II Available Funds related to Subgroup II-2 is less than the Subgroup Principal Distribution Amount for Subgroup II-2, such amounts shall be reduced, and such remaining funds will be distributed to the related Group II Senior Certificates (other than the Interest Only Certificates and Class II-R Certificates) on the basis of such reduced amounts. Notwithstanding any reduction in principal
distributable to the Class II-PO Certificates pursuant to this paragraph, the principal balance of the Class II-PO Certificates shall be reduced not only by principal so distributed but also by the difference between (i) principal distributable to the Class II-PO Certificates in accordance with priority fourth of clause (b) above, and (ii) principal actually distributed to the Class II-PO Certificates after giving effect to this paragraph (such difference for the Class II-PO Certificates, the “Class II-PO Certificate Cash Shortfall”). The Class II-PO 

 

Certificate Cash Shortfall for the Class II-PO Certificates with respect to any Distribution Date will be added to the Class II-PO Certificate Deferred Amount.

(e)        On each Distribution Date, all amounts representing Prepayment Charges in respect of Loan Group I and Loan Group II, as applicable received during the related Prepayment Period and deposited in the Distribution Account will be withdrawn from the Distribution Account and distributed by the Trustee in accordance with the Remittance Report to the Class I-P Certificates or Class II-P Certificates, as applicable, and shall not be available for distribution to the Holders of any other Class of Certificates. The payment of such Prepayment Charges shall not reduce the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class I-P Certificates and Class II-P Certificates.

(f)         Subject to Section 11.02 hereof respecting the final distribution, on each Distribution Date the Securities Administrator shall make distributions to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if (i) such Holder has so notified the Securities Administrator at least 5 Business Days prior to the related Record Date and (ii) such Holder shall hold Regular Certificates with aggregate principal denominations of not less than $1,000,000 or evidencing a Percentage Interest aggregating 10% or more with respect to such Class or, if not, by check mailed by first class mail to such Certificateholder at the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 11.02 hereof respecting the final distribution, distributions with respect to Certificates registered in the name of a Depository shall be made to such Depository in immediately available funds.

(g)        On or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the fifth Business Day immediately preceding each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall deliver a report to the Securities Administrator in the form of a computer readable magnetic tape (or by such other means as the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator may agree from time to time) containing such data and information, as agreed to by the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator such as to permit the Securities Administrator to prepare the Monthly Statement to Certificateholders and to direct the Securities Administrator in writing to make the required distributions for the related Distribution Date (the “Remittance Report”). 

	
            Section 6.05
 	
            Allocation of Realized Losses.
 

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

(b)        The interest portion of Realized Losses with respect to each Loan Group shall be allocated to the related Certificates as described in Section 1.02 hereof.

(c)        The principal portion of all Realized Losses on Loan Group I shall be allocated on each Distribution Date as follows: first, to Net Monthly Excess Cashflow as part of the payment of the Group I Extra Principal Distribution Amount; second, in reduction of the Group I Overcollateralized Amount, until reduced to zero; third, to the Class I-B-4 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the Class I-B-3 

 

Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fifth, to the Class I-B-2 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; sixth, to the Class I-B-1 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; seventh, to the Class I-M-3 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; eighth, to the Class I-M-2 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and ninth, to the Class I-M-1 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero. 

(d)        The PO Percentage of the principal portion of all Realized Losses on Discount Mortgage Loans and Class II-PO Certificate Cash Shortfall in Loan Group II shall be allocated to the Class II-PO Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class II-PO Certificates is reduced to zero. With respect to any Distribution Date through the related Cross-Over Date, the aggregate of all amounts so allocable to the Class II-PO Certificates on such date in respect of any Realized Losses and any Class II-PO Certificate Cash Shortfalls and all amounts previously allocated in respect of such Realized Losses or Class II-PO Certificate Cash Shortfalls and not distributed on prior Distribution Dates will be the “Class II-PO Certificate Deferred Amount.”  To the extent funds are available therefor on any Distribution Date through the
related Cross-Over Date, distributions in respect of the Class II-PO Certificate Deferred Amount for the Class II-PO Certificates shall be made in accordance with priority fifth of clause (b) of Section 6.07. No interest shall accrue on the Class II-PO Certificate Deferred Amount. On each Distribution Date through the related Cross-Over Date, the Certificate Principal Balance of the lowest ranking class of Group II Subordinate Certificates then outstanding shall be reduced by the amount of any distributions in respect of any Class II-PO Certificate Deferred Amount on such Distribution Date in accordance with the priorities set forth above, through the operation of the Subordinate Certificate Writedown Amount. After the related Cross-Over Date, no more distributions shall be made in respect of, and applicable Realized Losses and Class II-PO Certificate Cash Shortfalls allocable to the Class II-PO Certificates will not be added to, the
Class II-PO Certificate Deferred Amount.

(e)        The Non-PO Percentage of the principal portion of Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group II shall be allocated on any Distribution Date as follows: first, to the Class II-B-6 Certificates; second, to the Class II-B-5 Certificates; third, to the Class II-B-4 Certificates; fourth, to the Class II-B-3 Certificates; fifth, to the Class II-B-2 Certificates; and sixth, to the Class II-B-1 Certificates, in each case until the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class has been reduced to zero. Thereafter, the principal portion of Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group II  shall be allocated on any Distribution Date to the outstanding Class or Classes of Group II Senior Certificates (other than the Interest Only Certificates and the Class II-R Certificates), pro rata, based upon their respective Certificate Principal
Balances provided, however, any such Realized Losses otherwise allocable to the Class II-A-1 Certificates will be allocated first to the Class II-A-2 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class has been reduced to zero, and then to the Class II-A-1 Certificates.

(f)         No reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of a Group II Senior Certificate (other than the Interest Only Certificates and the Class II-R Certificates) shall be made on any Distribution Date on account of Realized Losses to the extent that such reduction would have the effect of reducing the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of all of the Classes of such Group II Senior Certificates (other than the Interest Only Certificates and the 

 

Class II-R Certificates) as of such Distribution Date to an amount less than the Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group II as of the related Due Date.

(g)        All Realized Losses to be allocated to the Certificate Principal Balances of all related 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.

(h)        Any allocation of the principal portion of Realized Losses with respect to each Loan Group to a related Subordinate Certificate on any Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance thereof by the amount so allocated; any allocation of Realized Losses to a Class I-C Certificate shall be made by reducing the amount otherwise payable in respect thereof pursuant to clause third of Section 6.07(a). No allocations of any Realized Losses shall be made to the Certificate Principal Balances of the Group I Senior Certificates or Class I-P Certificates.

(i)         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.

(j)         In addition, in the event that the Master Servicer receives any Subsequent Recoveries in respect of a Loan Group from the Company or the related Servicer, the Master Servicer shall deposit such funds for such Loan Group into the Master Servicer Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.06. If, after taking into account such Subsequent Recoveries, the amount of a Realized Loss is reduced, the amount of such Subsequent Recoveries will be applied to increase the Certificate Principal Balance of the related Class of Subordinate Certificates with the highest payment priority to which Realized Losses with respect to such Loan Group have been allocated, but not by more than the amount of Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Subordinate Certificates pursuant to this Section 6.05 and, in the case of the Group I Subordinate
Certificates, not previously reimbursed to such Class of Subordinate Certificates with Net Monthly Excess Cashflow pursuant to clause third of Section 6.07(a); provided, however, in the case of the Group I Subordinate Certificates, to the extent that no reductions to a Certificate Principal Balance of such Class of Subordinate Certificates currently exists as the result of a prior allocation of a Realized Loss with respect to Loan Group I, such Subsequent Recoveries with respect to such Loan Group will be applied as Excess Spread to such Loan Group. Holders of Certificates will not be entitled to any payment in respect of current interest on the amount of increases described herein 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 related Subordinate Certificate of such Class in accordance with its respective
Percentage Interest.

(k)        (i) All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group I shall be allocated on each Distribution Date to the following REMIC I Regular Interests in the specified percentages, as follows: first, to Uncertificated Accrued Interest payable to REMIC I Regular Interest AA and REMIC I Regular Interest ZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the REMIC I Interest Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%, respectively; second, to the Uncertificated 

 

Principal Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest AA and REMIC I Regular Interest ZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the REMIC I Principal Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%, respectively; third, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest AA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-B-4 and REMIC I Regular Interest ZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest I-B-4 has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest AA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-B-3 and REMIC I Regular Interest ZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest I-B-3 has been reduced to zero; fifth, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest AA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-B-2 and REMIC I Regular Interest ZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively,
until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest I-B-2 has been reduced to zero; sixth, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest AA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-B-1 and REMIC I Regular Interest ZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest I-B-1 has been reduced to zero; seventh, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest AA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-M-3 and REMIC I Regular Interest ZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest I-M-3 has been reduced to zero; eighth, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest AA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-M-2 and REMIC I Regular Interest ZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest I-M-2 has been reduced to zero; and ninth, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC I
Regular Interest AA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-M-1 and REMIC I Regular Interest ZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest I-M-1 has been reduced to zero. All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group I shall be allocated on each Distribution Date to the REMIC II Regular Interests in the same manner as Realized Losses are allocated to the Corresponding Certificates pursuant to Sections 1.02 and 6.05(c); provided that, solely for purposes of allocating the interest portion of such Realized Losses to the REMIC II Regular Interests, any such portion otherwise allocable to the Class I-A-2 Certificates under Section 1.02 shall be deemed to be allocated entirely to the Class I-A-1 Certificates.

(ii)         The interest portion of Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group II shall be allocated on each Distribution Date among REMIC III Regular Interest 1-Sub, REMIC III Regular Interest 1-ZZZ, REMIC III Regular Interest 2-Sub, REMIC III Regular Interest 2-ZZZ and REMIC I Regular Interest X, pro rata, based on the Uncertificated Accrued Interest for each such REMIC III Regular Interest prior to such allocation. The principal portion of Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans in each of the Subgroups of Loan Group II shall be applied on each Distribution Date, first, to the related REMIC III Regular Interest ending with the designation “Sub,” so that the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each such REMIC III Regular Interest is equal to 0.1% of the excess of (x) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance
of the Mortgage Loans in the related Subgroup over (y) the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Group II Senior Certificates (other than the Class II-R Certificates) in the related Subgroup (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 III Regular Interests such that the REMIC III Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained); and second, any remaining Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans in each of the Subgroups 

 

of Loan Group II shall be allocated to the related REMIC III Regular Interests ending with the designation “ZZZ” (except that if a Realized Loss is recognized with respect to a Discount Mortgage Loan, the PO Percentage of such Realized Loss will be allocated to REMIC III Regular Interest PO). All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group II shall be allocated on each Distribution Date to the REMIC IV Regular Interests in the same manner as Realized Losses are allocated to the Corresponding Certificates pursuant to Sections 1.02, 6.05(d) and 6.05(e); provided that, solely for purposes of allocating the interest portion of such Realized Losses to the REMIC IV Regular Interests, any such portion otherwise allocable to the Class II-A-4 Certificates under Section 1.02 shall be deemed to be allocated entirely to the Class II-A-3 Certificates.

The assets of REMIC I shall include the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group I and all interest owing in respect of and principal due thereon, the funds in the Distribution Account, the Master Servicer Collection Account and the Protected Accounts maintained by the Company and the Servicers, and any REO Property, in each case, with respect to Loan Group I and any other assets related to Loan Group I subject to this Agreement (other than the Net WAC Reserve Fund). The assets of REMIC III shall include the Mortgage Loans in Loan
Group II and all interest owing in respect of and principal due thereon, the funds in the Distribution Account, the Master Servicer Collection Account and the Protected Accounts maintained by the Company and the Servicers, and any REO Property, in each case, with respect to Loan Group II, and any other assets related to Loan Group II subject to this Agreement.

(iii)        third, any remaining amount after the distributions made pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above to the Holders of the Class I-R-1 Certificates;

(c)        On each Distribution Date, all amounts representing Prepayment Charges on Loan Group I shall be deemed distributed in respect of REMIC I Regular Interest I-P, provided that such amounts shall not reduce the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest I-P.

(B)        any amounts in respect thereof remaining unpaid from previous Distribution Dates; and

(ii)         to the holders of the REMIC II Regular Interests, in an amount equal to the remainder of the Group I Available Funds for such Distribution Date after the distributions made pursuant to clause (i) above, allocated in the same manner and priority as paid to the Corresponding Certificates, and any remaining amount to the Holders of the Class I-R-2 Certificates.

(e)        On each Distribution Date, all amounts representing Prepayment Charges distributed in respect of the Class I-P Certificates shall be deemed distributed in respect of REMIC II Regular Interest I-P, provided that such amounts shall not reduce the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest I-P.

(iii)        the remainder of the Group II Available Funds for such Distribution Date after the distributions made pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above, allocated as follows:

(A)              first, to each REMIC III Regular Interest ending with the designation “Sub,” the portion of such remainder from the related Subgroup of Loan Group II, so that the Uncertificated Principal 

 

Balance of each such REMIC III Regular Interest is equal to 0.1% of the excess of (x) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Subgroup over (y) the Current Principal Amount of the Senior Certificate in such Subgroup (except that if any such excess is a larger number than in the preceding distribution period, the least amount of funds shall be distributed to such REMIC III Regular Interests such that the REMIC III Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained); and 

(B)              second, any remaining funds from each Subgroup to the related REMIC III Regular Interest ending with the designation “ZZZ” (provided that a portion of the remaining funds equal to the Class II-PO Certificate Principal Distribution Amount attributable to the Discount Mortgage Loans will be distributed to REMIC III Regular Interest PO); and

(B)              any amounts in respect thereof remaining unpaid from previous Distribution Dates; 

(ii)         to the extent of the remainder of the Group II Available Funds for such Distribution Date after the distributions made pursuant to clause (i) above, to the Class II-R-2 Certificates, as principal, in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance thereof, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and

(iii)        to the holders of the REMIC IV Regular Interests, in an amount equal to the remainder of the Group II Available Funds for such Distribution Date after the 

 

distributions made pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above, allocated in the same manner and priority as paid to the Corresponding Certificates, and any remaining amount to the Holders of the Class II-R-2 Certificates.

            Section 6.08
 	
            Net WAC Reserve Fund.
 

(a)        The Securities Administrator shall establish a Net WAC Reserve Fund on behalf of the Holders of the Offered Certificates. The Net WAC Reserve Fund must be an Eligible Account. The Net WAC Reserve Fund shall be entitled “Net WAC Reserve Fund, U.S. Bank National Association as Trustee for the benefit of Holders of Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2005-AC3, Class I-A, Class I-M-1, Class I-M-2, Class I-M-3, Class I-B-1, Class I-B-2, Class I-B-3 and Class I-B-4 Certificates”. On the Closing Date, the Depositor will deposit, or cause to be deposited, into the Net WAC Reserve Fund $5,000. On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount payable to any Class of Group I Offered Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall, in accordance with the Remittance
Report for such Distribution Date, deposit the amounts pursuant to paragraphs 8 through 16 of clause third of Section 6.04(a) with respect to Loan Group I into the Net WAC Reserve Fund, and the Securities Administrator has been directed by the Class I-C Certificateholder to distribute such amounts to the Holders of the Group I Offered Certificates in the amounts and priorities set forth in clause third of Sections 6.07(a).

(b)        The Net WAC Reserve Fund is an “outside reserve fund” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h) and shall be an asset of the Trust Fund but not an asset of any REMIC. The Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall be the nominal  owner of the Net WAC Reserve Fund. The Class I-C Certificateholders shall be the beneficial owners of the Net WAC Reserve Fund with respect to Loan Group I, subject to the power of the Securities Administrator to transfer amounts under Sections 6.07(a). Amounts in the Net WAC Reserve Fund with respect to Loan Group I shall be held either uninvested in a trust or deposit account of the Securities Administrator with no liability for interest or other compensation thereof or, at the direction of the Majority Class I-C Certificateholder be invested in Permitted Investments that mature no later
than the Business Day prior to the next succeeding Distribution Date. All net income and gain from such investments with respect to Loan Group I shall be distributed to the Majority Class I-C Certificateholder not as a distribution in respect of any interest in any REMIC on such Distribution Date. All amounts earned on amounts on deposit in the Net WAC Reserve Fund for Loan Group I shall be taxable to the Majority Class I-C Certificateholder. Any losses on such investments shall be deposited in the Net WAC Reserve Fund by the Majority Class I-C Certificateholder out of its own funds immediately as realized. In the event that the Majority Class I-C Certificateholder shall fail to provide investment instructions to the Securities Administrator, the related amounts on deposit in the Net WAC Reserve Fund shall be held uninvested.

 

 

(c)        For federal tax return and information reporting, the right of the Holders of the Group I Offered Certificates to receive payments from the Net WAC Reserve Fund in respect of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount shall be assigned a value of zero.

Section 6.09     Class P Certificate Accounts. The Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain with itself a separate, segregated trust account for each of the Class P Certificates, each titled “Bear Stearns Asset-Backed Securities I Trust 2005-AC3 Class I-P and Class II-P Certificate Account” (each, a “Class P Certificate Account”). On the Closing Date, the Depositor will deposit, or cause to be deposited in each Class P Certificate Account $100.00. Prepayment charges with respect to each Loan Group shall be allocated to the related Class P Certificate. The amount on deposit in each Class P Certificate Account shall be held uninvested. On the June 2010 Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall withdraw the amount on deposit in each Class P Certificate Account and remit such
amount to the Holders of the related Class P Certificates in reduction of the related Certificate Principal Balance thereof.

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

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

Section 7.02     Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates. 

(a)        The Securities Administrator shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.09 hereof, a Certificate Register for the Trust Fund in which, subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) below and to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Securities Administrator shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of Transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. Upon surrender for registration of Transfer of any Certificate, the Securities Administrator shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class and of like aggregate Percentage Interest.

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

 

instrument of Transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

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

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

(b)        No Transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such Transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act and such state securities laws. In the event that a Transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such Transfer and such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee shall each certify to the Securities Administrator in writing the facts surrounding the Transfer in substantially the forms set forth in Exhibit D (the “Transferor Certificate”) and (x) deliver a letter in substantially the form of either Exhibit E
(the “Investment Letter”) or Exhibit F (the “Rule 144A Letter”) or (y) there shall be delivered to the Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Securities Administrator that such Transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee. The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Private Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any such Holder, information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for Transfer of any such Certificate without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Depositor in
providing the Rule 144A information referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to the Depositor such information regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably request to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to effect such Transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer against any liability that may result if the Transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

No Transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate shall be made unless either (i) the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator shall have received a representation from the transferee of such Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator, to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan subject to Section 406 of ERISA and/or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or a Person acting on behalf of any such plan or using the assets of any such plan, or (ii) in the case of any such ERISA Restricted Certificate presented for registration in the name of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA, or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), or a trustee of any such plan or any other person 

 

acting on behalf of any such plan, the Securities Admininstrator shall have received an Opinion of Counsel for the benefit of the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator and on which they may rely, satisfactory to the Securities Administrator, to the effect that the purchase and holding of such ERISA Restricted Certificate is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result in the assets of the Trust being deemed to be “plan assets” under ERISA or the Code, will not result in any prohibited transactions under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the Securities Administrator to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the Securities Administrator.
Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate to or on behalf of an employee benefit plan subject to Section 406 of ERISA and/or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code without the delivery of the Opinion of Counsel as described above shall be void and of no effect; provided that the restriction set forth in this sentence shall not be applicable if there has been delivered to the Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel meeting the requirements of clause (ii) of the first sentence of this paragraph. None of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer shall be required to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with the transfer restrictions with respect to any ERISA Restricted Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate, and none of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer shall have any liability for transfers of any such Book-Entry Certificates made through
the book-entry facilities of any Depository or between or among participants of the Depository or Certificate Owners made in violation of the transfer restrictions set forth herein. None of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 7.02(b) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement. The Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall each be entitled, but not obligated, to recover from any Holder of any ERISA Restricted Certificate that was in fact an employee benefit plan subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a Person acting on behalf of any such plan at the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became such a plan or Person
acting on behalf of such a plan, all payments made on such ERISA Restricted Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be paid and delivered by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator to the last preceding Holder of such Certificate that is not such a plan or Person acting on behalf of a plan.

Each beneficial owner of a Class I-M, Class I-B, Class II-B-1, Class II-B-2 and Class II-B-3 Certificate or any interest therein shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of that certificate or interest therein, that either (i) it is not a Plan or investing with “Plan Assets”, (ii) it has acquired and is holding such certificate in reliance on the Exemption, and that it understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of the Exemption, including that the certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than “BBB-”(or its equivalent) by S&P, Fitch Ratings or Moody’s, and the certificate is so rated or (iii) (1) it is an insurance company, (2) the source of funds used to acquire or hold the certificate or interest therein is an “insurance company general account,” as such term is defined
in Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60, and (3) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.

 

 

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

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

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

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

(iv)        Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 7.02(c) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 7.02(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by Section 7.02(b) and this Section 7.02(c) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action
with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit. The Securities Administrator shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became other than a Permitted Transferee, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Securities Administrator shall be paid and delivered by the Trustee to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such Certificate.

(v)        The Master Servicer shall make available within 60 days of written request from the Securities Administrator, all information necessary to compute any tax 

 

imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of a Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Holder who is not a Permitted Transferee.

The restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in this Section 7.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the legend on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers occurring after delivery to the Securities Administrator of an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Securities Administrator, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Seller or the Master Servicer to the effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not cause REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V, as applicable, to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding or result in the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, a Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate hereby consents to any
amendment of this Agreement that, based on an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Securities Administrator and furnished to the Securities Administrator, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the record ownership of, or any beneficial interest in, a Residual Certificate is not transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and (b) to provide for a means to compel the Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is held by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.

(d)        The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions referred to above in this Section 7.02 shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer.

Section 7.03     Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Securities Administrator, or the Securities Administrator receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and of the ownership thereof and (b) there is delivered to the Securities Administrator and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Securities Administrator that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Securities Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection
with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 7.03, the Securities Administrator may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Securities Administrator) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 7.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time. All Certificates surrendered to the Securities Administrator under the terms of this Section 7.03 shall be canceled and destroyed by the Securities Administrator in accordance with its standard procedures without liability on its part.

Section 7.04     Persons Deemed Owners. The Securities Administrator, the Trustee and any agent of the Securities Administrator or the Trustee may treat the person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Securities 

 

Administrator, the Trustee nor any agent of the Securities Administrator or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Section 7.05     Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses. If three or more Certificateholders (a) request such information in writing from the Securities Administrator, (b) state that such Certificateholders desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates, and (c) provide a copy of the communication that such Certificateholders propose to transmit or if the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall request such information in writing from the Securities Administrator, then the Securities Administrator shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt of such request, provide the Depositor, the Master Servicer or such Certificateholders at such recipients’ expense the most recent list of the Certificateholders of
the Trust Fund held by the Securities Administrator, if any. The Depositor and every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agree that the Securities Administrator shall not be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

Section 7.06     Book-Entry Certificates. The Offered Certificates, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of one or more typewritten Certificates representing the Book-Entry Certificates, to be delivered to the Depository by or on behalf of the Depositor. Such Certificates shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of the Depository or its nominee, and no Certificate Owner of such Certificates will receive a definitive certificate representing such Certificate Owner’s interest in such Certificates, except as provided in Section 7.08. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Certificates (“Definitive Certificates”) have been issued to the Certificate Owners of such Certificates pursuant to Section 7.08:

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

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

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

(d)        the rights of the respective Certificate Owners of such Certificates shall be exercised only through the Depository and the Depository Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between the Owners of such Certificates and the Depository and/or the Depository Participants. Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 7.08, the Depository will make book-entry transfers among the Depository Participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest on the related Certificates to such Depository Participants;

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

 

 

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

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

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

 

 

Section 7.07     Notices to Depository. Whenever any notice or other communication is required to be given to Certificateholders of a Class with respect to which Book-Entry Certificates have been issued, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to the related Certificate Owners, the Securities Administrator shall give all such notices and communications to the Depository.

Section 7.08    Definitive Certificates. If, after Book-Entry Certificates have been issued with respect to any Certificates, (a) the Depositor or the Depository advises the Securities Administrator that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities under the Depository Agreement with respect to such Certificates and the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, (b) the Depositor, at its sole option, advises the Securities Administrator that it elects to terminate the book-entry system with respect to such Certificates through the Depository or (c) after the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Certificate Owners of such Book-Entry Certificates having not less than 51% of the Voting Rights evidenced by any Class of Book-Entry Certificates advise the
Securities Administrator and the Depository in writing through the Depository Participants that the continuation of a book-entry system with respect to Certificates of such Class through the Depository (or its successor) is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners of such Class, then the Securities Administrator shall notify all Certificate Owners of such Certificates, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to applicable Certificate Owners requesting the same. The Depositor shall provide the Securities Administrator with an adequate inventory of certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive Certificates. Upon surrender to the Securities Administrator of any such Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration, the Securities Administrator shall countersign and deliver such Definitive Certificates. Neither the
Depositor nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of such 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 Securities Administrator, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates and the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall recognize the Holders of such Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.

Section 7.09     Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Securities Administrator will maintain or cause to be maintained at its expense an office or offices or agency or agencies at Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Sixth Street and Marquette Avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55479 where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Securities Administrator will give prompt written notice to the Certificateholders of any change in such location of any such office or agency.

Section 8.01     Liabilities of the Depositor, the Company and the Master Servicer. Each of the Depositor, the Company and the Master Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by it herein.

Section 8.02     Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor, the Company or the Master Servicer. 

(a)        Each of the Depositor, the Company and the Master Servicer will keep in full force and effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the state of its incorporation, and 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 duties under this Agreement.

(b)        Any Person into which the Depositor, the Company or the Master Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Depositor, the Company or the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor, the Company or the Master Servicer, shall be the successor of the Depositor, the Company or the Master Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 8.03     Indemnification of the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator. 

(a)        The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Persons for, and to hold them 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 relating to, any claim or legal action (including any pending or threatened claim or legal action) relating to this Agreement, including the powers of attorney delivered pursuant to Sections 4.01 and 4.05 hereof, the Assignment Agreements, the Custodial Agreement or the Certificates (i) related to the Master Servicer’s failure to perform its duties in compliance with this Agreement (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) or (ii) incurred by reason of the Master Servicer’s willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder, provided, in each case, that with respect to any such claim or legal action (or pending or threatened claim or legal action), the Trustee shall have given the Master Servicer and the Seller written notice thereof promptly after the Trustee shall have with respect to such claim or legal action knowledge thereof; provided, however that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Master Servicer of its indemnification obligations hereunder. This indemnity shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator and the termination of this Agreement.

 

 

(b)        The Company agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Persons and to hold them harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Indemnified Persons may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Company to perform in any way its duties and service the EMC Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement and for breach of any representation or warranty of the Company contained herein. The Company shall immediately notify the Master Servicer and the Trustee if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the EMC Mortgage Loans, assume (with the consent of the Master Servicer and the Trustee and with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Master Servicer and the
Trustee) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or any Indemnified Person in respect of such claim but failure to so notify the Company shall not limit its obligations hereunder. The Company agrees that it will not enter into any settlement of any such claim without the consent of the Indemnified Persons unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Persons from all liability that is the subject matter of such claim. The provisions of this Section 8.03(b) shall survive termination of this Agreement.

(c)        The Seller will indemnify any Indemnified Person for any loss, liability or expense of any Indemnified Person not otherwise paid or covered pursuant to Subsections (a) or (b) above.

Section 8.04     Limitations on Liability of the Depositor, the Company, the Master Servicer and Others. Subject to the obligation of the Seller, the Company and the Master Servicer to indemnify the Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 8.03:

(a)        Neither the Depositor, the Company, the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Company and the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Indemnified Persons, the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for taking any action or for refraining from taking any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Company, the Master Servicer or any such Person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of such Person’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder.

(b)        The Depositor, the Company, the Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Company and the Master Servicer 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.

(c)        The Depositor, the Company, the Master Servicer the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Company, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian shall be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless thereby 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, the 

 

Assignment Agreements, the Custodial Agreement, the Certificates or the Servicing Agreements (except with respect to the Master Servicer only, to the extent that the Master Servicer is indemnified by the Company under this Agreement or by the related Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement), other than (i) any such loss, liability or expense related to the Company’s or the Master Servicer’s failure to perform its respective duties in compliance with this Agreement (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement), or to the Custodian’s failure to perform its duties under the Custodial Agreement, or (ii) any such loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of the Company’s, the Master Servicer’s or the Custodian’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or under
the Custodial Agreement, as applicable, or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder or under the Custodial Agreement, as applicable.

(d)        Neither the Depositor, the Company nor the Master 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, the Master Servicer may in its discretion, with the consent of the Trustee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), 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 Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the
Master Servicer Collection Account as provided by Section 5.05. Nothing in this Subsection 8.04(d) shall affect the Master 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 4.01(a).

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

(f)         The Master Servicer shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of the Company or the Servicers, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

 

 

Section 8.05     Master Servicer and Company Not to Resign. (a) Except as provided in Section 8.07, the Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (i) with the prior written consent of the Trustee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) or (ii) upon a determination that any such duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such impermissibility cannot be cured. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect, addressed to and delivered to, the Trustee. No such resignation by the Master Servicer shall become effective until EMC or the Trustee or a successor to the Master Servicer reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee shall have assumed the
responsibilities and obligations of the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 9.02 hereof. The Trustee shall notify the Rating Agencies of the resignation of the Master Servicer.

(b)        The Company shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (i) upon the assignment of its servicing duties with respect to all or a portion of the EMC Mortgage Loans to an institution that is a Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac approved seller/servicer in good standing that has a net worth of not less than $10,000,000 and with the prior written consent of the Master Servicer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) or (ii) upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Company. Any determination permitting the resignation of the Company shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect addressed to and delivered, to the Master Servicer and the Trustee which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance
acceptable to the Master Servicer and the Trustee. No appointment of a successor to the Company shall be effective hereunder unless (a) the Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing that such appointment will not result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current ratings assigned to the Certificates, (b) such successor shall have represented that it is meets the eligibility criteria set forth in clause (i) above and (c) such successor has agreed to assume the obligations of the Company hereunder to the extent of the EMC Mortgage Loans to be serviced by such successor. The Company shall provide a copy of the written confirmation of the Rating Agencies and the agreement executed by such successor to the Master Servicer and the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until a Qualified Successor or the Master Servicer shall have assumed the Company’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder. The Company shall notify the Master Servicer, the Trustee
and the Rating Agencies of the resignation of the Company or the assignment of all or a portion of its servicing duties hereunder in accordance with this Section 8.05.

Section 8.06     Successor Master Servicer. In connection with the appointment of any successor Master Servicer or the assumption of the duties of the Master Servicer, EMC or the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor master servicer out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as EMC or the Trustee and such successor master servicer shall agree. If the successor master servicer does not agree that such market value is a fair price, such successor master servicer shall obtain two quotations of market value from third parties actively engaged in the servicing of single-family mortgage loans. In no event shall the compensation of any successor master servicer exceed that permitted the Master Servicer without the consent of all of the Certificateholders.

Section 8.07     Sale and Assignment of Master Servicing. The Master Servicer may sell and assign its rights and delegate its duties and obligations in its entirety as Master Servicer under this Agreement and EMC may terminate the Master Servicer without cause and select a 

 

new Master Servicer; provided, however, that: (i) the purchaser or transferee accepting such assignment and delegation (a) shall be a Person which (or an Affiliate thereof the primary business of which is the servicing of conventional residential mortgage loans) shall be qualified to service mortgage loans for Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac; (b) shall have a net worth of not less than $10,000,000 (unless otherwise approved by each Rating Agency pursuant to clause (ii) below); (c) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (as evidenced in a writing signed by the Trustee); and (d) shall execute and deliver to the Trustee an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, which contains an assumption by such Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by it as master servicer under this Agreement, any custodial
agreement from and after the effective date of such agreement; (ii) each Rating Agency shall be given prior written notice of the identity of the proposed successor to the Master Servicer and each Rating Agency’s rating of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment, sale and delegation will not be downgraded, qualified or withdrawn as a result of such assignment, sale and delegation, as evidenced by a letter to such effect delivered to the Master Servicer and the Trustee; (iii) the Master Servicer assigning and selling the master servicing shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee, each stating that all conditions precedent to such action under this Agreement have been completed and such action is permitted by and complies with the terms of this Agreement; and (iv) in the event the Master Servicer is terminated without cause by EMC, EMC shall pay, from its own funds and without any right of
reimbursement, the terminated Master Servicer a termination fee equal to 0.25% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time the master servicing of the Mortgage Loans is transferred to the successor Master Servicer. No such assignment or delegation shall affect any liability of the Master Servicer arising prior to the effective date thereof.

 

 

Article IX

 

DEFAULT; TERMINATION OF MASTER SERVICER;

TERMINATION OF COMPANY

Section 9.01     Events of Default. “Event of Default,” wherever used herein, means any one of the following events:

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

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

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

(iv)        the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Master Servicer or all or substantially all of the property of the Master Servicer; 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, or commence a voluntary case under, any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or

(vi)        the Master Servicer assigns or delegates its duties or rights under this Agreement in contravention of the provisions permitting such assignment or delegation under Sections 8.05 or 8.07.

 

 

If an Event of Default shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, and at the direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer, with a copy to the Rating Agencies, and with the consent of the Company, may terminate all of the rights and obligations (but not the liabilities) of the Master Servicer (and the Securities Administrator if the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are the same entity) under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer (and, if
applicable, the Securities Administrator) hereunder, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee, or any successor appointed pursuant to Section 9.02 (a “Successor Master Servicer” and, if applicable, “Successor Securities Administrator”). Such Successor Master Servicer shall thereupon if such Successor Master Servicer is a successor to the Master Servicer, make any Advance required by Article VI, subject, in the case of the Trustee, to Section 9.02. The Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the terminated Master Servicer and, if applicable, the terminated Securities Administrator, as attorney- in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of any Mortgage Loans
and related documents, or otherwise. Unless expressly provided in such written notice, no such termination shall affect any obligation of the Master Servicer to pay amounts owed pursuant to Article VIII or Article X. The Master Servicer and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the applicable Successor Master Servicer of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited to the Master Servicer Collection Account maintained pursuant to Section 5.06, or thereafter be received with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loans. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies of the occurrence of an Event of Default known to the Trustee.

Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of the Master Servicer hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any late collection of a Scheduled Payment on a Mortgage Loan that was due prior to the notice terminating the Master Servicer’s rights and obligations as Master Servicer hereunder and received after such notice, that portion thereof to which the Master Servicer would have been entitled pursuant to Sections 5.05 and to receive any other amounts payable to the Master Servicer hereunder the entitlement to which arose prior to the termination of its activities hereunder.

Section 9.02     Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof the Trustee shall automatically become the successor to the Master Servicer with respect to the transactions set forth or provided for herein and after a transition period (not to exceed 90 days), shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to either (a) immediately assume the duties of the Master Servicer or (b) select a successor Master Servicer; provided, further, however that, pursuant to Article VI hereof, the Trustee in its 

 

capacity as successor Master Servicer shall be responsible for making any Advances required to be made by the Master Servicer immediately upon the termination of the Master Servicer and any such Advance shall be made on the Distribution Date on which such Advance was required to be made by the predecessor Master Servicer. Effective on the date of such notice of termination, as compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all compensation, reimbursement of expenses and indemnifications that the Master Servicer would have been entitled to if it had continued to act hereunder, provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be (i) liable for any acts or omissions of the Master Servicer, (ii) obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from doing so under applicable law, (iii) responsible for expenses of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 2.03 or (iv) obligated to deposit losses on any
Permitted Investment directed by the Master Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law from making Advances pursuant to Article VI or if it is otherwise unable to so act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution the appointment of which does not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates by each Rating Agency as the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder. Any Successor Master Servicer shall (i) be an institution that is a Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac approved seller/servicer in good standing, that has a net worth of at least $15,000,000 and (ii) be willing to act as successor servicer of any Mortgage Loans under this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement with respect to
which the Company or the original Servicer has been terminated as servicer, and shall have executed and delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement accepting such delegation and assignment, that contains an assumption by such Person of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Master Servicer (other than any liabilities of the Master Servicer hereof incurred prior to termination of the Master Servicer under Section 9.01 or as otherwise set forth herein), with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement, provided that each Rating Agency shall have acknowledged in writing that its rating of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will not be qualified or reduced as a result of such assignment and delegation. If the Trustee assumes the duties and responsibilities of the Master Servicer in accordance with this Section 9.02, the Trustee shall not resign as Master Servicer until a
Successor Master Servicer has been appointed and has accepted such appointment. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, shall, subject to Section 4.04 hereof, act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans or otherwise as it and such successor shall agree; provided that no such compensation unless agreed to by the Certificateholders shall be in excess of that permitted the Master Servicer hereunder. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Neither the Trustee nor any other Successor Master Servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or
any portion thereof or any failure to perform, or any delay in performing, any duties or responsibilities hereunder, in either case caused by the failure of the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator to deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or providing, any cash, information, documents or records to it.

 

 

The costs and expenses of the Trustee in connection with the termination of the Master Servicer, appointment of a Successor Master Servicer and, if applicable, any transfer of servicing, including, without limitation, all costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the Trustee to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the Trustee or the Successor Master Servicer to service the related Mortgage Loans properly and effectively, to the extent not paid by the terminated Master Servicer, shall be payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.05. Any successor to the Master Servicer as successor servicer under any Subservicing Agreement shall give notice to the applicable Mortgagors of such change of servicer and shall, during
the term of its service as successor servicer maintain in force the policy or policies that the Master Servicer is required to maintain pursuant to Section 4.04.

	
            Section 9.03
 	
            Notification to Certificateholders.
 

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

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

Section 9.04     Waiver of Defaults. The Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders, within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured, notice of each such Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee. The Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of the Voting Rights may, on behalf of all Certificateholders, waive any default by the Master Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and the consequences thereof, except a default in the making of or the causing to be made of any required distribution on the Certificates. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall be deemed to cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be
deemed to have been timely remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived. The Trustee shall give notice of any such waiver to the Rating Agencies.

Section 9.05     Company Default. In case one or more of the following events of default by the Company (each, a “Company Default”) shall occur and be continuing, that is to say:

(i)         any failure by the Company to remit to the Master Servicer any payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement on any Remittance Date; or

(ii)         failure on the part of the Company duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements (other than Sections 3.13 or 3.14) on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement, the breach of which has a material adverse effect and which continue unremedied for a period of sixty days (except that such number of days shall be fifteen in the case of a failure to pay any premium for 

 

any insurance policy required to be maintained under this Agreement and such failure shall be deemed to have a material adverse effect) after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Company by the Master Servicer; or

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

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

(v)        the Company 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)        the Company attempts to assign its right to servicing compensation hereunder or the Company attempts to sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets or to assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or to delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof except as otherwise permitted herein; or

(vii)       the Company ceases to be qualified to transact business in any jurisdiction where it is currently so qualified, but only to the extent such non-qualification materially and adversely affects the Company’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder;

(viii)      failure by the Company to duly perform, within the required time period, its obligations under Section  3.13 or Section 3.14 which failure continues unremedied for a period of fifteen (15) days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Company by the Master Servicer.

then, and in each and every such case, so long as a Company Default shall not have been remedied, the Master Servicer, by notice in writing to the Company may, in addition to whatever rights the Master Servicer and the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders may have under Section 8.03 and at law or equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Company under this Agreement and in and to the EMC Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Company for the same. On or after the receipt by the Company of such written notice, all authority and power of Company under this Agreement, whether with respect to the EMC Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Master Servicer. Upon written request from the Master Servicer, the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and
all documents and 

 

other instruments, place in the Master Servicer’s possession all Mortgage Files relating to the EMC Mortgage Loans, and 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 EMC Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise, at the Company’s sole expense. The Company agrees to cooperate with the Master Servicer in effecting the termination of the Company’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Company to its Protected Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the EMC Mortgage Loans or any related REO Property.

Section 9.06     Waiver of Company Defaults. The Master Servicer, with the consent of the Trustee, may waive only by written notice any default by the Company in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Company Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived in writing.

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE AND THE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR

	
            Section 10.01
 	
            Duties of Trustee and Securities Administrator.
 

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

(b)        Upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments which are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, shall examine them to determine whether they are, on their face, in the form required by this Agreement; provided, however, that neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Master Servicer; provided, further, that neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be responsible for the accuracy or verification of any calculation provided to it pursuant
to this Agreement.

(c)        On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall make monthly distributions and the final distribution to the related Certificateholders from related funds in the Distribution Account as provided in Sections 6.04 and 11.01 herein based solely on the applicable Remittance Report.

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

(i)         Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the curing or waiver of all such Events of Default which may have occurred with respect to the Trustee and at all times with respect to the Securities Administrator, the duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable except for the performance of their respective duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee or the Securities Administrator and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, respectively, 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 or the Securities Administrator, respectively, and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;

 

 

(ii)         Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable in its individual capacity for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee or an officer or officers of the Securities Administrator, respectively, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

(iii)        Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the directions of the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates, if such action or non-action relates to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, or exercising any trust or other power conferred upon the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, under this Agreement;

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

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

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

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

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

Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably 

 

assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee or the Securities Administrator to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer or the Company hereunder or any Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement.

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

	
            Section 10.02
 	
            Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee and the Securities Administrator.
 
	
             
	
            (a)
 	
            Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.01:
 	
             

				

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

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

(iii)        Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be under any obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement, other than its obligation to give notices pursuant to this Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby. Nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has
actual knowledge (which has not been cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs;

(iv)        Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred with respect to the Trustee and at all times with respect to the Securities Administrator, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable in its individual capacity for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;

(v)        Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, 

 

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

(vi)        The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or through Affiliates, agents or attorneys; provided, however, that the Trustee may not appoint any paying agent other than the Securities Administrator to perform any paying agent functions under this Agreement without the express written consent of the Master Servicer, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable or responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any of the Trustee’s or the Securities Administrator’s agents or attorneys or paying agent appointed hereunder by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator with due care and, when required, with the consent of the Master Servicer;

(vii)       Should the Trustee or the Securities Administrator deem the nature of any action required on its part to be unclear, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, may require prior to such action that it be provided by the Depositor with reasonable further instructions; the right of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be accountable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of any such act;

(viii)      Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be required to give any bond or surety with respect to the execution of the trust created hereby or the powers granted hereunder, except as provided in Subsection 10.07; and

(ix)        Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall have any duty to conduct any affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase of any Mortgage Loan by any Person pursuant to this Agreement, or the eligibility of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of this Agreement.

(b)        The Trustee is hereby directed by the Depositor to execute and deliver the Yield Maintenance Agreement. Amounts payable by the Trust on the Closing Date pursuant to the Yield Maintenance Agreement shall be paid by the Depositor or its designee. The Trustee in its individual capacity shall have no responsibility for any of the undertakings, agreements or representations with respect to the Yield Maintenance Agreement, including, without limitation, for making any payments thereunder.

 

 

Section 10.03   Trustee and Securities Administrator Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans. The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the signature and countersignature of the Trustee on the Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor, and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall have any responsibility for their correctness. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator makes any representation as to the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates (other than the signature and countersignature of the Trustee on the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan except as expressly provided in Sections 2.02 and 2.06 hereof; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve the Trustee, or the Custodian on its behalf, of the obligation to review the
Mortgage Files pursuant to Section 2.02 of this Agreement. The Trustee’s signature and countersignature (or countersignature of its agent) on the Certificates shall be solely in its capacity as Trustee and shall not constitute the Certificates an obligation of the Trustee in any other capacity. Neither the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Depositor with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Subject to Section 2.06, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be responsible for the legality or validity of this Agreement or any document or instrument relating to this Agreement, the validity of the execution of this Agreement or of any supplement hereto or instrument of further assurance, or the validity, priority, perfection or sufficiency of the security for the Certificates issued
hereunder or intended to be issued hereunder. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall at any time have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of any Mortgage or any Mortgage Loan, or the perfection and priority of any Mortgage or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Trust Fund or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to Certificateholders, under this Agreement. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall have any responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder or to record this Agreement.

Section 10.04   Trustee and Securities Administrator May Own Certificates. Each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator in its individual capacity or in any capacity other than as Trustee or Securities Administrator hereunder may become the owner or pledgee of any Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, and may otherwise deal with the parties hereto.

Section 10.05   Trustee’s and Securities Administrator’s Fees and Expenses. The fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall be paid in accordance with a side letter agreement with the Master Servicer and at the expense of the Master Servicer. In addition, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator will be entitled to recover from the Master Servicer Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.07 all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances and the expenses of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, respectively, in connection with any Event of Default, any breach of this Agreement or any claim or legal action (including any pending or threatened claim or legal action) incurred or made by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, in the
administration of the trusts hereunder (including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of its counsel) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or intentional misconduct or which is the responsibility of the Certificateholders or the Trust Fund 

 

hereunder. If funds in the Master Servicer Collection Account are insufficient therefor, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall recover such expenses, disbursements or advances from the Depositor and the Depositor hereby agrees to pay such expenses, disbursements or advances upon demand. Such compensation and reimbursement obligation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust.

Section 10.06   Eligibility Requirements for Trustee and Securities Administrator. The Trustee and any successor Trustee and the Securities Administrator and any successor Securities Administrator shall during the entire duration of this Agreement be a state bank or trust company or a national banking association organized and doing business under the laws of a state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus and undivided profits of at least $40,000,000 or, in the case of a successor Trustee, $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and, in the case of the Trustee, rated “BBB” or higher by Fitch, Inc. with respect to their long-term rating and rated “BBB” or higher by Standard
& Poor’s and “Baa2” or higher by Moody’s with respect to any outstanding long-term unsecured unsubordinated debt, and, in the case of a successor Trustee or successor Securities Administrator other than pursuant to Section 10.10, rated in one of the two highest long-term debt categories of, or otherwise acceptable to, each of the Rating Agencies. The Trustee shall not be an Affiliate of the Master Servicer. If the Trustee publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 10.06 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its total equity capital (combined capital and surplus) as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.06,
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 10.08.

Section 10.07   Insurance. The Trustee and the Securities Administrator, at their own expense, shall at all times maintain and keep in full force and effect: (i) fidelity insurance, (ii) theft of documents insurance and (iii) forgery insurance (which may be collectively satisfied by a “Financial Institution Bond” and/or a “Bankers’ Blanket Bond”). All such insurance shall be in amounts, with standard coverage and subject to deductibles, as are customary for insurance typically maintained by banks or their affiliates which act as custodians for investor-owned mortgage pools. A certificate of an officer of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator as to the Trustee’s or the Securities Administrator’s, respectively, compliance with this Section 10.07 shall be furnished to any Certificateholder
upon reasonable written request.

Section 10.08   Resignation and Removal of Trustee and Securities Administrator. The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may at any time resign (including, in the case of the Securities Administrator, in connection with the resignation or termination of the Master Servicer) and be discharged from the Trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Seller, the Securities Administrator (or the Trustee, if the Securities Administrator resigns) and the Master Servicer, with a copy to the Rating Agencies. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or successor securities administrator, as applicable, by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to each of the resigning trustee or securities
administrator, as applicable, and the successor trustee or securities administrator, as applicable. If no successor trustee or 

 

successor securities administrator shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee or Securities Administrator may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee or securities administrator.

If at any time (i) the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06 hereof and shall fail to resign after written request thereto by the Depositor, (ii) the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or (iii)(A) a tax is imposed with respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which the Trustee or the Securities Administrator or the Trust Fund is located, (B) the imposition of such tax would be avoided by the appointment of a different trustee or
securities administrator and (C) the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable fails to indemnify the Trust Fund against such tax, then the Depositor or the Master Servicer may remove the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, and appoint a successor trustee or successor securities administrator, as applicable, by written instrument, in multiple copies, a copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, each Master Servicer and the successor trustee or successor securities administrator, as applicable.

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

Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or Securities Administrator and appointment of a successor trustee or securities administrator pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 10.08 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee or securities administrator as provided in Section 10.09 hereof.

Section 10.09   Successor Trustee or Securities Administrator. Any successor trustee or securities administrator appointed as provided in Section 10.08 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor trustee or predecessor securities administrator, as applicable, and the Master Servicer an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee or securities administrator shall become effective and such successor trustee or securities administrator, 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 or securities administrator herein.

No successor trustee or securities administrator shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 10.09 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee or securities 

 

administrator shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 10.07 hereof and its appointment shall not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee or securities administrator as provided in this Section 10.09, the successor trustee or securities administrator shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee or securities administrator hereunder to all Holders of Certificates. If the successor trustee or securities administrator fails to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment, the Depositor shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Trust Fund.

Section 10.10   Merger or Consolidation of Trustee or Securities Administrator. Any corporation, state bank or national banking association into which the Trustee or the Securities Administrator may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation, state bank or national banking association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be a party, or any corporation, state bank or national banking association succeeding to substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee or of the business of the Securities Administrator, shall be the successor of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 10.06 hereof without the execution
or filing of any paper or further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 10.11   Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the time be located, the Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any part thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of
this Section 10.11, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Master Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request to do so, or in the case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 10.06 and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 10.09.

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

(i)         All rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee, except for the obligation of the Trustee under this Agreement to advance funds on behalf of the Master Servicer, shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any 

 

jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether a Trustee hereunder or as a Successor Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;

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

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

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

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

Section 10.12   Tax Matters. It is intended that the Trust Fund shall constitute one or more REMICs, and that the affairs of the Trust Fund shall be conducted so that each REMIC formed hereunder qualifies as a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” as defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the Securities Administrator covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent for so long as it is also Master Servicer (and the Securities Administrator is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of the Trust Fund. The Trustee and/or the Securities Administrator, as agent on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall do or refrain from doing, as applicable, the following: (a) the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, in a timely manner,
U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit Income Tax Returns (Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by the Internal Revenue Service) and prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year with respect to each such REMIC containing such information and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations or rules, and furnish or cause to be furnished, to Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such times and in such manner as may be required thereby; (b) the Securities Administrator shall apply for an employer identification number with

The Securities Administrator shall include in its Remittance Report instructions as to distributions to such parties taking into account the priorities described in the second preceding sentence.

(b)        By their acceptance of the related Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby authorize the adoption of a 90-day liquidation period for the related REMIC, which authorization shall be binding upon all successor related Certificateholders.

(c)        The Securities Administrator, as agent for each related REMIC, hereby agrees to adopt and sign such a plan of complete liquidation upon the written request of the Majority Class I-C Certificateholder or EMC or its designee, as applicable, and the receipt of the Opinion of Counsel referred to in Section 11.03(a)(1), and to take such other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Majority Class I-C Certificateholder or EMC or its designee, as applicable.

adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Certificateholders and no such Opinion of Counsel shall be required if the Person requesting such amendment obtains a letter from each Rating Agency stating that such amendment would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the Certificates.

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

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

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee , which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting such amendment but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, to the effect that such amendment will not (other than an amendment pursuant to 

 

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

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

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

Section 12.02  Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts. To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all of the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the Mortgaged Properties are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere. The Master Servicer shall effect such recordation at the Trust’s expense upon the request in writing of a Certificateholder, but only if such direction is accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (provided at the expense of the Certificateholder requesting recordation) to the effect that such recordation would materially and beneficially affect the interests of the Certificateholders or is required by law.

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

            Governing Law.
 

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THE CERTIFICATEHOLDERS SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAWS).

Section 12.04   Intention of Parties. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Notes, Mortgages, assignments of Mortgages, title insurance policies and any modifications, extensions and/or assumption agreements and private mortgage 

 

insurance policies relating to the Mortgage Loans by the 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 12.08   Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders. The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust Fund, nor entitle such Certificateholder’s legal representative or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or commence any proceeding in any court for a petition or winding up of the Trust Fund, or otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.

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

No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing itself of any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as appropriate, 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 or the Securities Administrator, as appropriate to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as appropriate, hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as appropriate, such 

 

reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses, and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as appropriate, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself or themselves of any provisions of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of the Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and
for the common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 12.08, each and every Certificateholder, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

The Master Servicer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit any representative of the Depositor or the Trustee during the Master Servicer’s normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Master 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 Master 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 12.09 shall be borne by the party requesting such inspection, subject to such party’s right to reimbursement hereunder (in the case of the Trustee, pursuant to Section 10.05 hereof).

	
            Section 12.10

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

 

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

 

 

 

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

 

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of the Class or Classes of Certificates affected thereby evidencing over 50% of the Voting Rights of such Class or Classes.  Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

 

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable with the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee for such purposes, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder(s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations representing a like aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee.

 

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

 

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

 

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligations to make payments to Certificateholders with respect to the termination of the Agreement) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the later of (A) the maturity or other liquidation (or Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and  disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and (B) the remittance of all funds due under the Agreement, or (ii) the optional repurchase by the party named in the Agreement of all the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Such optional repurchase may be made only on or after the Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than the percentage of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance specified in the Agreement of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date. The exercise of such right will effect the early retirement of the 

 

Certificates. In no event, however, will the Trust Fund created by the Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years after the death of certain persons identified in the Agreement.

 

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

 

 

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

ASSET-BACKED CERTIFICATE

SERIES 2005-AC3

 

evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the distributions allocable to the CLASS [_]-M-[_]  Certificates with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of conventional one- to four-family fixed interest rate mortgage loans sold by BEAR STEARNS ASSET BACKED SECURITIES I LLC.

 

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

 

 

 

This certifies that ________________  is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in a trust (the “Trust Fund”) generally consisting of conventional first lien, fixed rate mortgage loans secured by one- to four- family residences (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) sold by Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC (“BSABS I”). The Mortgage Loans were sold by EMC Mortgage Corporation (“EMC”) to BSABS I. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association will act as master servicer of the Mortgage Loans (the “Master Servicer,” which term includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the
“Agreement”), among BSABS I, as depositor (the “Depositor”), EMC Mortgage Corporation as seller and company, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer and securities administrator (the “Securities Administrator”) and U.S. Bank National Association as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

 

[For Class I-M-1, Class I-M-2, Class I-M-3: Each beneficial owner of this Certificate or any interest herein shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of this certificate or interest herein, that either (i) it is not an employee benefit plan subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended or section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Plan”),  or investing with assets of a Plan or (ii) it has acquired and is holding such certificate in reliance on Prohibited Transaction Exemption 90-30, as amended from time to time (“Exemption”), and that it understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of the Exemption, including that the  certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than “BBB-” (or its equivalent) by Standard & Poor(s, Fitch, Inc. or
Moody(s Investors Service, Inc., and the certificate is so rated or (iii) (1) it is an insurance company, (2) the source of funds used to acquire or hold the certificate or interest herein 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.]

 

This Certificate may not be acquired directly or indirectly by, or on behalf of, an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement which is subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, unless the transferee certifies or represents that the proposed transfer and holding of a Certificate and the servicing, management and operation of the trust and its assets: (i) will not result in any prohibited transaction which is not covered under an individual or class prohibited transaction exemption, including, but not limited to, Prohibited Transaction Exemption (“PTE”) 84-14, PTE 91-38, PTE 90-1, PTE 95-60 or PTE 96-23 and (ii) will not give rise to any additional obligations on the part of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, which
will be deemed represented by an owner of a Book-Entry Certificate or a Global Certificate or unless the opinion specified in section 7.08(a) of the Agreement is provided.

 

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

 

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

 

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of the Class or Classes of Certificates affected thereby evidencing over 50% of the Voting Rights of such Class or Classes. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

 

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable with the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

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

ASSET-BACKED CERTIFICATE

SERIES 2005-AC3

 

evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the distributions allocable to the CLASS [_]-B-[_]  Certificates with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of conventional one- to four-family fixed interest rate mortgage loans sold by BEAR STEARNS ASSET BACKED SECURITIES I LLC.

 

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

 

This certifies that ________________  is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in a trust (the “Trust Fund”) generally consisting of conventional first lien, fixed rate 

 

mortgage loans secured by one- to four- family residences (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) sold by Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC (“BSABS I”). The Mortgage Loans were sold by EMC Mortgage Corporation (“EMC”) to BSABS I. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association will act as master servicer of the Mortgage Loans (the “Master Servicer,” which term includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the “Agreement”), among BSABS I, as depositor (the “Depositor”), EMC Mortgage Corporation as seller and company, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer and securities administrator (the “Securities Administrator”) and U.S. Bank National Association as trustee (the
“Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

[For Class I-B-1, Class I-B-2, Class I-B-3, Class II-B-1, Class II-B-2 and Class II-B-3: Each beneficial owner of this Certificate or any interest herein shall be deemed to have 

 

represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of this certificate or interest herein, that either (i) it is not an employee benefit plan subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended or section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Plan”),  or investing with assets of a Plan or (ii) it has acquired and is holding such certificate in reliance on Prohibited Transaction Exemption 90-30, as amended from time to time (“Exemption”), and that it understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of the Exemption, including that the  certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than “BBB-” (or its equivalent) by Standard & Poor(s, Fitch, Inc. or Moody(s Investors Service, Inc., and the certificate is so rated or (iii) (1) it is an insurance company, (2) the source of funds used to acquire or hold
the certificate or interest herein 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.]

 

[For Class II-B-4, Class II-B-5 and Class II-B-6 Certificates: No transfer of this Class II-B-[4][5][6] certificate will be made unless such transfer is (i) exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with said Act and laws and (ii) made in accordance with Section 7.07 of the Agreement.  In the event that such transfer is to be made the Trustee shall register such transfer if, (i) made to a transferee who has provided the Trustee with evidence as to its QIB status; or (ii) (A) the transferor has advised the Trustee in writing that the Certificate is being transferred to an Institutional Accredited Investor and (B) prior to such transfer the transferee furnishes to the Trustee an Investment Letter; provided that if based upon an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (A) and (B) above
are met sufficient to confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable laws.] 

 

This Certificate may not be acquired directly or indirectly by, or on behalf of, an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement which is subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, unless the transferee certifies or represents that the proposed transfer and holding of a Certificate and the servicing, management and operation of the trust and its assets: (i) will not result in any prohibited transaction which is not covered under an individual or class prohibited transaction exemption, including, but not limited to, Prohibited Transaction Exemption (“PTE”) 84-14, PTE 91-38, PTE 90-1, PTE 95-60 or PTE 96-23 and (ii) will not give rise to any additional obligations on the part of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, which
will be deemed represented by an owner of a Book-Entry Certificate or a Global Certificate or unless the opinion specified in section 7.08(a) of the Agreement is provided.

 

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

 

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

 

 

 

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of the Class or Classes of Certificates affected thereby evidencing over 50% of the Voting Rights of such Class or Classes. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

 

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable with the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee for such purposes, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder(s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations representing a like aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

 

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

 

 

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

ASSET-BACKED CERTIFICATE

SERIES 2005-AC3

evidencing a percentage interest in the distributions allocable to the Class I-C Certificates with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of conventional one- to four-family fixed interest rate mortgage loans sold by BEAR STEARNS ASSET BACKED SECURITIES I LLC.

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

This certifies that Bear, Stearns Securities Corp. is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in a trust (the “Trust Fund”) generally consisting of conventional first lien, fixed rate mortgage loans secured by one- to four- family residences (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) sold by Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC (“BSABS I”). The Mortgage Loans 

 

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

The Trustee will distribute on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day (each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last day (or if such last day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately preceding such last day) of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which the Distribution Date occurs, an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amounts required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate. The Assumed Final Distribution Date is the Distribution Date in the month following the latest scheduled maturity date of any Mortgage Loan.

Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests by notifying the Trustee in writing as specified in the Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose and designated in such notice.

No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and an effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification, the Trustee shall require receipt of (i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such Holder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit D and either Exhibit E or Exhibit F, as applicable, and (ii) in all other cases, an
Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer in their respective capacities as such), together with copies of the written certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Holder’s prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is based. Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise 

 

required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Seller and the Master Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

No transfer of this Class I-C Certificate will be made unless the Trustee shall have received either (i) the opinion of counsel set forth in section 7.02(b) of the Pooling Agreement or (ii) a representation letter, in the form as described by the Agreement, stating that the transferee is not an employee benefit or other plan subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (a “Plan”), or any other person (including an investment manager, a named fiduciary or a trustee of any Plan) acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing any Certificate with “plan assets” of any Plan.

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

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

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

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of the Class or Classes of Certificates affected thereby evidencing over 50% of the Voting Rights of such Class or Classes.  Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

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

The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in the Classes and denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for one or more new Certificates 

 

evidencing the same Class and in the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

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

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligations to make payments to Certificateholders with respect to the termination of the Agreement) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the later of (A) the maturity or other liquidation (or Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and  disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and (B) the remittance of all funds due under the Agreement, or (ii) the optional repurchase by the party named in the Agreement of all the related Mortgage Loans and other related assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Such optional repurchase may be made only on or after the earlier of (i) the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the related
Mortgage Loans is less than or equal to 20% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date and (ii) the Distribution Date in May 2015. The exercise of such right will effect the early retirement of the Certificates. In no event, however, will the Trust Fund created by the Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years after the death of certain persons identified in the Agreement.

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

 

 

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

ASSET-BACKED CERTIFICATE

SERIES 2005-AC3

 

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

 

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

 

Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator or any of their affiliates or any other person. None of Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC, the Master Servicer or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.

 

This certifies that Bear, Stearns Securities Corp. is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in a trust (the “Trust Fund”) generally consisting of conventional first lien, fixed rate mortgage loans secured by one- to four- family residences (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) sold by Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC (“BSABS I”). The Mortgage Loans were sold by EMC Mortgage Corporation (“EMC”) to BSABS I. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association will act as master servicer of the Mortgage Loans (the “Master Servicer,” which term includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above
(the “Agreement”), among BSABS I, as depositor (the “Depositor”), EMC Mortgage Corporation as seller and company, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer and securities administrator (the “Securities Administrator”) and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

 

Each Holder of this Certificate will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by the restrictions set forth in the Agreement to the effect that (i) each person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate must be a United States Person and a Permitted Transferee, (ii) the transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate will be conditioned upon the delivery to the Trustee of, among other things, an affidavit to the effect that it is a United States Person and Permitted Transferee, (iii) any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation of such restrictions will be absolutely null and void and will vest no rights in the purported transferee, and (iv) if any person other than a United States Person and a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation of such restrictions, then the
Depositor will have the right, in its sole discretion and without notice to the Holder of this Certificate, to sell this Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Depositor, which purchaser may be the Depositor, or any affiliate of the Depositor, on such terms and conditions as the Depositor may choose.

 

The Trustee will distribute on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day (each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last day (or if such last day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately preceding such last day) of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which the Distribution Date occurs, an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amounts required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate. The Assumed Final Distribution Date is the Distribution Date in the month following the latest scheduled maturity date
of any Mortgage Loan.

 

 

 

Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests by notifying the Trustee in writing as specified in the Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose and designated in such notice.

 

No transfer of this 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 E and either F or G, as applicable, and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer in their respective capacities as such), together with copies of the written certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Holder(s prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is based. Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Seller and the Master
Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

 

This certificate may not be acquired directly or indirectly by, or on behalf of, an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement which is subject to title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, unless the proposed transferee provides the Trustee with an opinion of counsel addressed to the Trustee, Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator and on which they may rely (which shall not be at the expense of the Trustee, Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator) which is acceptable to the Trustee, that the purchase of this Certificate will not result in or constitute a nonexempt prohibited transaction, is permissible under applicable law and will not give rise to any additional obligations on the part of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee.

 

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

 

The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the 

 

Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement.

 

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

 

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of the Class or Classes of Certificates affected thereby evidencing over 50% of the Voting Rights of such Class or Classes.  Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

 

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable with the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee for such purposes, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder(s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations representing a like aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee.

 

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

 

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

 

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligations to make payments to Certificateholders with respect to the termination of the Agreement) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the later of (A) the maturity or other liquidation (or Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and  disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and (B) the remittance of all funds due under the Agreement, or (ii) the optional repurchase by the party named in the Agreement of all the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Such optional repurchase may be made only on or after the Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than the percentage of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance specified in the Agreement of the 

 

Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date. The exercise of such right will effect the early retirement of the Certificates. In no event, however, will the Trust Fund created by the Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years after the death of certain persons identified in the Agreement.

 

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

 

 

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

executed.

ASSET-BACKED CERTIFICATE

SERIES 2005-AC3

 

evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the distributions allocable to the CLASS [_]-R-[_] Certificates with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of conventional one- to four-family fixed interest rate mortgage loans sold by BEAR STEARNS ASSET BACKED SECURITIES I LLC.

 

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

 

This certifies that __________________ is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in a trust (the “Trust Fund”) generally consisting of conventional first lien, fixed rate mortgage loans secured by one- to four- family residences (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) sold by Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC (“BSABS I”). The Mortgage Loans were sold by EMC Mortgage Corporation (“EMC”) to BSABS I. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association will act as master servicer of the Mortgage Loans (the “Master Servicer,” which term includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the
“Agreement”), among BSABS I, as depositor (the “Depositor”), EMC Mortgage Corporation as seller and company, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer and securities administrator (the “Securities Administrator”) and U.S. Bank National Association as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

 

Each Holder of this Certificate will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by the 

restrictions set forth in the Agreement to the effect that (i) each person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate must be a United States Person and a Permitted Transferee, (ii) the transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate will be conditioned upon the delivery to the Trustee of, among other things, an affidavit to the effect that it is a United States Person and Permitted Transferee, (iii) any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation of such restrictions will be absolutely null and void and will vest no rights in the purported transferee, and (iv) if any person other than a United States Person and a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation of such restrictions, then the Depositor will have the right, in its sole discretion and without notice to the Holder of this 

 

Certificate, to sell this Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Depositor, which purchaser may be the Depositor, or any affiliate of the Depositor, on such terms and conditions as the Depositor may choose.

 

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

 

Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests by notifying the Trustee in writing as specified in the Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose and designated in such notice.

 

The Initial Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate is set forth above. The 

Certificate Principal Balance hereof will be reduced to the extent of distributions allocable to principal hereon and any Realized Losses allocable hereto.

 

This certificate may not be acquired directly or indirectly by, or on behalf of, an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement which is subject to title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, unless the proposed transferee provides the Trustee with an opinion of counsel addressed to the Trustee, Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator and on which they may rely (which shall not be at the expense of the Trustee, Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator) which is acceptable to the Trustee, that the purchase of this Certificate will not result in or constitute a nonexempt prohibited transaction, is permissible under applicable law and will not give rise to any additional obligations on the part of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee.

 

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

 

The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the 

 

Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement.

 

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

 

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of the Class or Classes of Certificates affected thereby evidencing over 50% of the Voting Rights of such Class or Classes.  Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

 

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable with the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee for such purposes, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder(s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations representing a like aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee.

 

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

 

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

 

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligations to make payments to Certificateholders with respect to the termination of the Agreement) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the later of (A) the maturity or other liquidation (or Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and  disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and (B) the remittance of all funds due under the Agreement, or (ii) the optional repurchase by the party named in the Agreement of all the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Such optional repurchase may be made only on or after the Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less 

 

than the percentage of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance specified in the Agreement of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date. The exercise of such right will effect the early retirement of the Certificates. In no event, however, will the Trust Fund created by the Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years after the death of certain persons identified in the Agreement.

 

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

 

 

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

In connection with the sale by ___________ (the “Seller”) to ________ (the “Purchaser”) of $_________ Initial Certificate Principal Balance of Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2005-AC3, Class _____ (the “Certificates”), issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), dated as of May 1, 2005, among Bear Stearns Asset-Backed Securities I LLC, as depositor (the “Depositor”), EMC Mortgage Corporation, as seller and company, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as master servicer and securities administrator and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

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

 

	
            (i)
 	
            we understand that the Privately Offered Certificates are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) or any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws, and are being sold to us in a transaction that is exempt from the registration requirements of such laws;
 

 

	
            (ii)
 	
            any information we desired concerning the Certificates, including the Privately Offered Certificates, the trust in which the Certificates represent the entire beneficial ownership interest (the “Trust”) or any other matter we deemed relevant to our decision to purchase Privately Offered Certificates has been made available to us; 
 

 

 

 

	
            (iii)
 	
            we are able to bear the economic risk of investment in Privately Offered Certificates; we are an institutional “accredited investor” as defined in Section 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Act and a sophisticated institutional investor;
 

 

	
            (iv)
 	
            we are acquiring Privately Offered Certificates for our own account, not as nominee for any other person, and not with a present view to any distribution or other disposition of the Privately Offered Certificates;
 

 

	
            (v)
 	
            we agree the Privately Offered Certificates must be held indefinitely by us (and may not be sold, pledged, hypothecated or in any way disposed of) unless subsequently registered under the Act and any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act and any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws is available;
 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

	
            (vii)
 	
            we agree to be bound by all of the terms (including those relating to restrictions on transfer) of the Pooling and Servicing, pursuant to which the Trust was formed; we have reviewed carefully and understand the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; 
 

 

 

 

	
            (viii)
 	
            we either: (i) are not acquiring the Privately Offered Certificate directly or indirectly by, or on behalf of, an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement which is subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or (ii) in the case of the Class II-B-4, Class II-B-5 and Class II-B-6 Certificates, are providing a representation to the effect that the proposed transfer and holding of a Privately Offered Certificate and the servicing, management and operation of the Trust and its assets: (I) will not result in any prohibited transaction which is not covered under an individual or class prohibited transaction exemption, including, but not limited to, Prohibited Transaction Exemption (“PTE”) 84-14, PTE 91-38, PTE 90-1, PTE 95-60, or PTE 96-23
and (II) will not give rise to any additional obligations on the part of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee or (iii) in the case of the Privately Offered Securities have attached hereto the opinion specified in Section 7.02(b) of the Agreement.
 

 

	
            (ix)
 	
            We understand that each of the Privately Offered Certificates bears, and will continue to bear, a legend to substantiate the following effect: (THIS CERTIFICATE HAS NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

FORM OF CUSTODIAL AGREEMENT

 

THIS CUSTODIAL AGREEMENT (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Agreement”), dated as of May 31, 2005, by and among U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as trustee (including its successors under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement defined below, the “Trustee”), BEAR STEARNS ASSET BACKED SECURITIES I LLC, as depositor (together with any successor in interest, the “Depositor”), EMC MORTGAGE CORPORATION, as seller (the “Seller”) and company (together with any successor in interest or successor under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement referred to below, the “Company”) and WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as master servicer (together with any successor in interest or successor under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement referred to below, the “Master Servicer”), securities administrator and custodian (together with any
successor in interest or any successor appointed hereunder, the “Custodian”).

 

WITNESSETH THAT:

 

WHEREAS, the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer and the Trustee have entered into a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2005, relating to the issuance of Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I Trust 2005-AC3, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2005-AC3 (as in effect on the date of this agreement, the “Original Pooling and Servicing Agreement,” and as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Custodian has agreed to act as agent for the Trustee for the purposes of receiving and holding certain documents and other instruments delivered by the Depositor, the Seller or the Master Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Servicers under their respective Servicing Agreements, all upon the terms and conditions and subject to the limitations hereinafter set forth;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer and the Custodian hereby agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I.

DEFINITIONS

 

Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned in the Original Pooling and Servicing Agreement, unless otherwise required by the context herein.

 

 

ARTICLE II.

CUSTODY OF MORTGAGE DOCUMENTS

II.1.      Custodian to Act as Agent: Acceptance of Mortgage Files.  The  custodian, as the duly appointed agent of the Trustee for these purposes, acknowledges (subject to any exceptions noted in the Initial Certification referred to in Section 2.3(a) receipt of the Mortgage Files relating to the Mortgage Loans identified on the schedule attached hereto (the “Mortgage Files”) and declares that it holds and will hold such Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee, in trust, for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.

 

II.2.      Recordation of Assignments.  If any Mortgage File includes one or more assignments of Mortgage that have not been recorded pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan is not a MOM Loan or the related Mortgaged Properties are located in jurisdictions specifically excluded by the Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each such assignment shall be delivered by the Custodian to the Seller for the purpose of recording it in the appropriate public office for real property records, and the Seller, at no expense to the Custodian, shall promptly cause to be recorded in the appropriate public office for real property records each such assignment of Mortgage and, upon receipt
thereof from such public office, shall return each such assignment of Mortgage to the Custodian.

 

	
            II.3.
 	
            Review of Mortgage Files.
 

 

(a)        On or prior to the Closing Date, in accordance with Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Custodian shall deliver to the Seller and the Trustee an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit One evidencing receipt (subject to any exceptions noted therein) of a Mortgage File for each of the Mortgage Loans listed on the Schedule attached hereto (the “Mortgage Loan Schedule”).

 

(b)        Within 90 days of the Closing Date, the Custodian agrees, for the benefit of Certificateholders, to review, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each such document, and shall deliver to the Seller and the Trustee an Interim Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit Two to the effect that all such documents have been executed and received and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, except for any exceptions listed on Schedule A attached to such Interim Certification. The Custodian shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been
recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.

 

(c)        Not later than 180 days after the Closing Date, the Custodian shall review the Mortgage Files as provided in Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and deliver to the Seller and the Trustee a Final Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit Three evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files.

 

 

 

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

 

Upon receipt of written request from the Trustee, the Custodian shall as soon as practicable supply the Trustee with a list of all of the documents relating to the Mortgage Loans missing from the Mortgage Files.

 

II.4.      Notification of Breaches of Representations and Warranties. Upon discovery by the Custodian of a breach of any representation or warranty made by the Depositor as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to a Mortgage Loan relating to a Mortgage File, the Custodian shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor, the related Servicer and the Trustee.

 

II.5.      Custodian to Cooperate: Release of Mortgage Files. Upon receipt of written notice from the Trustee that the Seller has repurchased a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Article II of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and a request for release (a “Request for Release”) confirming that the purchase price therefore has been deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account or the Distribution Account, then the Custodian agrees to promptly release to the Seller the related Mortgage File.

 

Upon the Custodian(s receipt of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit H to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement signed by a Servicing Officer of the Company or the Servicer, as applicable, stating that it has received payment in full of a Mortgage Loan or that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Custodian agrees promptly to release to the Company or the Servicer, as applicable, the related Mortgage File. The Depositor shall deliver to the Custodian and the Custodian agrees to review in accordance with the provisions of their Agreement the Mortgage Note and other documents constituting the Mortgage File with respect to any Replacement Mortgage Loan.

 

From time to time as is appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any Primary Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy, the Company or the Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release signed by a Servicing Officer requesting that possession of all of the Mortgage File be released to the Company or the Servicer, as applicable, and certifying as to the reason for such release and that such release will not invalidate any insurance coverage provided in respect of the Mortgage Loan under any of the Insurance Policies. Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Custodian shall deliver the Mortgage File to the Company or the Servicer, as applicable. The Company or the Servicer, as applicable, shall cause each Mortgage File or any document therein so released to be returned to the Custodian when the need
therefore by the Company or the Servicer, as applicable, no longer exists, unless (i) the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account or the Distribution Account or (ii) the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Company or the Servicer, as applicable, has delivered to the Custodian 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.

 

At any time that the Company or the Servicer is required to deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release, the Company or the Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver two copies of the Request for Release if delivered in hard copy or the Company or the Servicer, as applicable, may furnish such Request for Release electronically to the Custodian, in which event the Servicing Officer transmitting the same shall be deemed to have signed the Request for Release.

CONCERNING THE CUSTODIAN

 

III.1.     Custodian a Bailee and Agent of the Trustee. With respect to each Mortgage Note, Mortgage and other documents constituting each Mortgage File which are delivered to the Custodian, the Custodian is exclusively the bailee and agent of the Trustee and has no instructions to hold any Mortgage Note or Mortgage for the benefit of any person other than the Trustee and the Certificateholders and undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. Except upon compliance with the provisions of Section 2.5 of this Agreement, no Mortgage Note, Mortgage or Mortgage File shall be delivered by the Custodian to the Company, the Depositor, the Servicer or the Master Servicer or otherwise released from the possession of the Custodian.

 

	
            III.2.
 	
            Reserved.
 

 

III.3.     Custodian May Own Certificates.  The Custodian in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not Custodian.

 

 

 

III.4.     Master Servicer to Pay Custodian(s Fees and Expenses. The Master Servicer covenants and agrees to pay to the Custodian from time to time, and the Custodian shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Custodian, and the Master Servicer will pay or reimburse the Custodian upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Custodian in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith or to the extent that such cost or
expense is indemnified by the Depositor pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

III.5.     Custodian May Resign; Trustee May Remove Custodian. The Custodian may resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed upon it as such obligations and duties relate to its acting as Custodian of the Mortgage Loans. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Trustee shall either take custody of the Mortgage Files itself and give prompt notice thereof to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Custodian, or promptly appoint a successor Custodian by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Custodian and one copy to the successor Custodian. If the Trustee shall not have taken custody of the Mortgage Files and no successor Custodian shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Custodian may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Custodian.

 

The Trustee may remove the Custodian at any time upon 60 days prior written notice to Custodian. In such event, the Trustee shall appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a successor Custodian hereunder. Any successor Custodian shall be a depository institution subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority shall be able to satisfy the other requirements contained in Section 3.7 and shall be unaffiliated with the Servicers, the Company and the Depositor.

 

Any resignation or removal of the Custodian and appointment of a successor Custodian pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 3.5 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Custodian. The Trustee shall give prompt notice to the Depositor and the Master Servicer of the appointment of any successor Custodian. No successor Custodian shall be appointed by the Trustee without the prior approval of the Depositor and the Master Servicer.

 

III.6.     Merger or Consolidation of Custodian. Any Person into which the Custodian may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Custodian shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Custodian, shall be the successor of the Custodian hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

 

III.7.     Representations of the Custodian. The Custodian hereby represents that it is a depository institution subject to supervision or examination by a federal or state authority, has a combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000 and is qualified to do business in the jurisdictions in which it will hold any Mortgage File.
