     This Pooling and Servicing Agreement is dated as of June 1, 2004 (the
“Agreement”), among GREENWICH CAPITAL ACCEPTANCE, INC., a Delaware corporation,
as depositor (the “Depositor”), THORNBURG MORTGAGE HOME LOANS, INC., a Delaware
corporation, as seller (the “Seller”), WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A., a national
banking association, as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master
Servicer”) and as securities administrator (in such capacity, the “Securities
Administrator”), DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY DELAWARE, a Delaware banking
corporation, as Delaware trustee (the “Delaware Trustee”) and DEUTSCHE BANK
NATIONAL TRUST COMPANY, a national banking association, as trustee (the
“Trustee”).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

     On June 24, 2004 the Seller formed Thornburg Mortgage Securities Trust
2004-2, as a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”) pursuant to the Trust
Agreement, dated June 24, 2004 (the “Original Trust Agreement”), among the
Seller, the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee.

     The parties to this Agreement desire to amend and restate the Original
Trust Agreement in its entirety, and, as evidenced by their signatures hereto,
the Original Trust Agreement is hereby amended, restated and replaced in its
entirety as of the date first written above by this Agreement.

     Through this Agreement, the Depositor intends to cause the issuance and
sale of the Trust’s Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2004-2 (the
“Certificates”) representing in the aggregate the entire beneficial ownership
of the Trust, the primary assets of which are the Mortgage Loans (as defined
below).

     The Depositor intends to sell the Certificates, to be issued hereunder in
multiple classes, which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial
ownership interest in the Trust Fund created hereunder. The Certificates will
consist of twelve classes of certificates, designated as (i) the Class A-1
Certificates, (ii) the Class A-2 Certificates, (iii) the Class A-3
Certificates, (iv) the Class A-4 Certificates, (v) the Class A-X Certificates,
(vi) the Class A-R Certificate, (vii) the Class B-1 Certificates, (viii) the
Class B-2 Certificates, (ix) the Class B-3 Certificates, (x) the Class B-4
Certificates, (xi) the Class B-5 Certificates and (xii) the Class B-6
Certificates.

     As provided herein, the Trustee shall elect that the Trust Fund (exclusive
of (i) the Additional Collateral, (ii) the Yield Maintenance Agreements, (iii)
the Yield Maintenance Amount Account, (iv) the Yield Maintenance Payment
Account, (v) the Auction Swap Agreement, (vi) the Available Funds Cap Reserve
Fund, and (vii) the Separate Interest Trust) be treated for federal income tax
purposes as comprising four real estate mortgage investment conduits (each a
“REMIC” or, in the alternative, REMIC 1, REMIC 2, REMIC 3 and REMIC 4; REMIC 4
also being referred to as the “Upper Tier REMIC”). Each Certificate, other
than the Class A-X Certificate and the Class A-R Certificate represents
ownership of a regular interest in the Upper Tier REMIC for purposes of the
REMIC Provisions. The Class A-X Certificate represents ownership of two
regular interests in the Upper Tier REMIC as described in note 2 of

 

 

the table below for such REMIC. In addition, each Certificate, other than
the Class A-R and the Class A-X Certificates, represents the right to receive
payments with respect to Available Funds Cap Shortfalls pursuant to Sections
5.08 and 5.09 hereof. The Class A-R Certificate represents ownership of the
sole class of residual interest in each of REMIC 1, REMIC 2, REMIC 3 and the
Upper Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.

     The Upper Tier REMIC shall hold as its assets the several classes of
uncertificated Lower Tier Regular Interests in REMIC 3, and each such Lower
Tier Regular Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC 3 for
purposes of the REMIC Provisions. REMIC 3 shall hold as its assets the several
classes of uncertificated Lower Tier Regular Interests in REMIC 2, and each
such Lower Tier Regular Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in
REMIC 2. REMIC 2 shall hold as its assets the several classes of
uncertificated Lower Tier Regular Interests in REMIC 1, and each such Lower
Tier Regular Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC 1.
REMIC 1 shall hold as its assets the property of the Trust Fund other than the
Lower Tier Regular Interests in REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC 3, the Additional
Collateral, the Available Funds Cap Risk Reserve Fund, the Auction Swap
Agreement, Yield Maintenance Agreements, the Yield Maintenance Amount Account,
the Yield Maintenance Payment Account, and the Separate Interest Trust.

     The startup day for each REMIC created hereby for purposes of the REMIC
Provisions is the Closing Date. In addition, for purposes of the REMIC
Provisions, the latest possible maturity date for each regular interest in each
REMIC created hereby is the Latest Possible Maturity Date.

Loans.
	 
	(2)	 	For each Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) this

Loans.
	 
	(4)	 	For each Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) this

Three-Year Hybrid Mortgage Loans and the ARM Mortgage Loans.
	 
	(5)	 	This Lower Tier Regular Interest is a principal  — only interest;
it does not have an interest rate.
	 
	(6)	 	The Class LT1-R Interest is the sole Class of residual interest in
REMIC 1. It does not have an interest rate or a class principal
amount.

     On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall first pay or charge as an
expense of REMIC 1 all expenses of the Trust for such Distribution Date (other
than the expense represented by any payments due under the Yield Maintenance
Agreements).

     On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the Available
Funds allocable solely with respect to interest to the Lower Tier Regular
Interests in REMIC 1 at the rates described above, pro rata, based on the
amount of interest accrued on each such Lower Tier Regular Interest for the
related Accrual Period.

     On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the remaining
Available Funds, and shall allocate Realized Losses, among the Lower Tier
Regular Interests in REMIC 1 concurrently, as follows:

	(i)	 	to the Class LT1-5-1 Interest, until its class principal
amount equals the aggregate of the Stated Principal Balances of the
Five-Year Hybrid Mortgage Loans as of the close of the related Due
Period;
	 
	(ii)	 	to the Class LT1-7-1 Interest, until its class principal
amount equals the aggregate of the Stated Principal Balances of the
Seven-Year Hybrid Mortgage Loans as of the close of the related Due
Period;
	 
	(iii)	 	to the Class LT1-10-1 Interest, until its class principal
amount equals the aggregate of the Stated Principal Balances of the
Ten-Year Hybrid Mortgage Loans as of the close of the related Due
Period;
	 
	(iv)	 	to the Class LT1-INT and the LT1-PO Interests, pro rata,
until the sum of their class principal amounts equals the aggregate
of the Stated Principal Balances of the Three-Year Hybrid Mortgage
Loans and the ARM Mortgage Loans as of the close of the related Due
Period; and
	 
	(v)	 	to the Class LT1-R Interest any remaining Available Funds.

     On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the amount
distributed, with respect to the Lower Tier Regular Interests in REMIC 1 solely with respect to interest to the Lower
Tier Regular Interests in REMIC 2 at the rates described above, in the
following order and priority:

	(1)	 	First, pro rata, to the Lower Tier Regular Interests in REMIC 2 having
the letter “F” in their Class designation, based on the amount of interest
accrued on each such Lower Tier Regular Interest for the related Accrual
Period; and

	(2)	 	Second, pro rata, to the remaining Lower Tier Regular Interests in REMIC
2, based on the amount of interest accrued on each such Lower Tier Regular
Interest for the related Accrual Period.

     On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the remaining
amounts, and shall allocate Realized Losses, concurrently, as follows:

	(i)	 	to those Lower Tier Regular Interests in REMIC 2 having a “5”
in their class designation until their aggregate class principal
amount equals the aggregate of the Stated Principal Balances of the
Five-Year Hybrid Mortgage Loans as of the close of the related due
period, in ascending order of their numeric designation, and pro
rata between each pair of such Lower Tier Regular Interests having
the same numeric designation;
	 
	(ii)	 	to those Lower Tier Regular Interests in REMIC 2 having a “7”
in their class designation until their aggregate class principal
amount equals the aggregate of the Stated Principal Balances of the
Five-Year Hybrid Mortgage Loans as of the close of the related due
period, in ascending order of their numeric designation, and pro
rata between each pair of such Lower Tier Regular Interests having
the same numeric designation;
	 
	(iii)	 	to those Lower Tier Regular Interests in REMIC 2 having a
“10” in their class designation until their aggregate class
principal amount equals the aggregate of the Stated Principal
Balances of the Five-Year Hybrid Mortgage Loans as of the close of
the related due period, in ascending order of their numeric
designation,

11

 

	 	 	and pro rata between each pair of such Lower Tier Regular Interests
having the same numeric designation;
	 
	(iv)	 	to the Class LT-Q Interest, all remaining Available Funds;
and
	 
	(v)	 	to the Class LT2-R Interest, any remaining amounts.

	(1)	 	The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related
Accrual Period) for each of these Lower Tier Regular Interests is a per
annum rate equal to the weighted average of the interest rates on the
REMIC 2 Lower Tier Regular Interests computed after subjecting the rate
payable on each of the REMIC 2 Lower Tier Regular Interests having an “F”
in its class designation to a cap equal to the product of (i) 2, and (ii)
LIBOR, for each Distribution Date for which a portion of the interest
accrued on such Lower Tier Regular Interest is distributable with respect
to the Class LT3-I interest in the manner described in footnote “(2)”
below.
	 
	(2)	 	The Class LT3-I Interest is an interest-only interest. With respect to
any Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period), the Class LT3-I
Interest is entitled to receive a specified portion of the interest
accrued on each of Lower-Tier Interests in REMIC 2 having an “F” in its
class designation for the specific Distribution Dates listed in the
schedule set forth below, at a rate equal to the excess, if any, of (i)
the rate at which interest accrues on such Lower Tier Regular Interest for
the related Accrual Period over (ii) the product of (a) 2, and (b) LIBOR
(multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is 30 and the
denominator of which is the actual number of days in the Accrual Period
applicable to the Certificates other than Class A-X and Class A-R
Certificates).

shall be treated as having been paid from the Available Funds Cap

interests. One such regular interest represents the right to 100%
of the distributions with respect to the Class LT3-I Interest. The
second such regular interest represents the right to a specified
portion of the interest that accrues on the Lower Tier Regular
Interests in REMIC 3, other than the Class LT3-I, LT3-A-R, and Class
LT3-R Interests, at a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of
(i) the weighted average of the interest rates on such Lower Tier
Regular Interests, weighted based on the class principal amounts of
such Lower Tier Regular Interests on the first day of the related
Accrual Period, over (ii) a per annum rate that would be the
weighted average of the rates on such Lower Tier Regular Interests
if the rate on each such Lower Tier Regular Interest were subject to
a cap equal to the rate payable on the Corresponding Class of
Certificates (other than the Class A-X Certificates), provided,
however, that, for purposes of the REMIC Provisions, for any of the
first 47 Distribution Dates (and the related Accrual Period) for
which the interest rate on any REMIC 2 Lower Tier Regular Interest
having an “F” in its class designation is less than 7.86%, the

CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS;

ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF
CERTIFICATES

     SECTION 2.01. Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.

     The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, does
hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Trustee without
recourse for the benefit of the Certificateholders all the right, title and
interest of the Depositor, including any security interest therein for the
benefit of the Depositor, in and to (i) each Mortgage Loan (other than the
right to receive any Retained Interest or any Prepayment Penalty Amounts)
identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, including the related Cut-Off Date
Principal Balance, all interest due thereon after the Cut-Off Date and all
collections in respect of interest and principal due after the Cut-Off Date;
(ii) all the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Collection
Account and all amounts from time to time credited to and to the proceeds of
the Collection Account, the Distribution Account and all amounts from time to
time credited to and the proceeds of the Distribution Account; (iii) any real
property that secured each such Mortgage Loan and that has been acquired by
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure; (iv) the Depositor’s interest in
any insurance policies in respect of the Mortgage Loans; (v) the Depositor’s
security interest in the Additional Collateral; (vi) all proceeds of any of the

Fund. Such assignment includes all interest and principal due to the Depositor
or the Master Servicer after the Cut-Off Date with respect to the Mortgage

     Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
Depositor does hereby assign to the Trustee all of its rights and interest
under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including all rights of the Seller
under the Servicing Agreements to the extent assigned in the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement. The Trustee hereby accepts such assignment, and shall be
entitled to exercise all rights of the Depositor under the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement and the Seller under the Servicing Agreements as if, for
such purpose, it were the Depositor or the Seller, as applicable. The
foregoing sale, transfer, assignment, set-over, deposit and conveyance does not
and is not intended to result in creation or assumption by the Trustee of any
obligation of the Depositor, the Seller or any other Person in connection with
the Mortgage Loans or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto except
as specifically set forth herein.

     In addition, with respect to any Additional Collateral Mortgage Loan, the
Depositor does hereby transfer, assign, set-over and otherwise convey to the
Trustee without recourse (except as provided herein) (i) its rights as assignee
under any security agreements, pledge agreements or guarantees relating to the
Additional Collateral supporting any Additional Collateral Mortgage Loan, (ii)
its security interest in and to any Additional Collateral, (iii) its right to
receive payments in respect of any Additional Collateral Mortgage Loan pursuant
to the related Servicing Agreement, and (iv) its rights as beneficiary under
the Certificate Guaranty Surety

62

 

Bond related in respect of any Additional Collateral Mortgage Loans
conveyed to the Seller from Cendant Mortgage Corporation.

     For purposes of complying with the requirements of the Asset-Backed
Securities Facilitation Act of the State of Delaware, 6 Del. C. § 2701A, et
seq. (the “Securitization Act”), each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that:

	 	(i)	 	any property, assets or rights purported to be transferred,
in whole or in part, by the Depositor pursuant to this Agreement
shall be deemed to no longer be the property, assets or rights of
the Depositor;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	none of the Depositor, its creditors or, in any insolvency
proceeding with respect to the Depositor or the Depositor’s
property, a bankruptcy trustee, receiver, debtor, debtor in
possession or similar person, to the extent the issue is governed by
Delaware law, shall have any rights, legal or equitable, whatsoever
to reacquire (except pursuant to a provision of this Agreement),
reclaim, recover, repudiate, disaffirm, redeem or recharacterize as
property of the Depositor any property, assets or rights purported
to be transferred, in whole or in part, by the Depositor pursuant to
this Agreement (including the Assignment);
	 
	 	(iii)	 	in the event of a bankruptcy, receivership or other
insolvency proceeding with respect to the Depositor or the
Depositor’s property, to the extent the issue is governed by
Delaware law, such property, assets and rights shall not be deemed
to be part of the Depositor’s property, assets, rights or estate;
and
	 
	 	(iv)	 	the transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall
constitute a “securitization transaction” as such term is used in
the Securitization Act.

     In connection with such transfer and assignment, the Seller, on behalf of
the Depositor, does hereby deliver on the Closing Date, unless otherwise
specified in this Section 2.01, to, and deposit with the Trustee, or the
Custodian as its designated agent, the following documents or instruments with
respect to each Mortgage Loan (a “Mortgage File”) so transferred and assigned:

	 	(i)	 	the original Mortgage Note, endorsed either on its face or by
allonge attached thereto in blank or in the following form: “Pay to
the order of Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee for
Thornburg Mortgage Securities Trust 2004-2, 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 2% of the Cut-Off Date Aggregate
Principal Balance;

63

 

	 	(ii)	 	the original of any guarantee, security agreement or pledge
agreement relating to any Additional Collateral, if applicable, and
executed in connection with the Mortgage Note, assigned to the
Trustee on behalf of the Trust;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	except as provided below, for each Mortgage Loan that is not
a MERS Mortgage Loan, the original Mortgage, and in the case of each
MERS Mortgage Loan, the original Mortgage, noting the presence of
the MIN for that Mortgage Loan and either language indicating that
the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan if the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan,
or if such Mortgage Loan was not a MOM Loan at origination, the
original Mortgage and the assignment to MERS, in each case 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, together with an Officer’s Certificate
of the Seller certifying that the copy of such Mortgage delivered to
the Trustee (or its Custodian) is a true copy and that the original
of such Mortgage has been forwarded to the public recording office,
or, in the case of a Mortgage that has been lost, a copy thereof
(certified as provided for under the laws of the appropriate
jurisdiction) and a written Opinion of Counsel (delivered at the
Seller’s expense) acceptable to the Trustee and the Depositor that
an original recorded Mortgage is not required to enforce the
Trustee’s interest in the Mortgage Loan;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	the original of each assumption, modification or substitution
agreement, if any, relating to the Mortgage Loans, or, as to any
assumption, modification or substitution agreement which cannot be
delivered on or prior to the Closing Date because of a delay caused
by the public recording office where such assumption, modification
or substitution agreement has been delivered for recordation, a
photocopy of such assumption, modification or substitution
agreement, pending delivery of the original thereof, together with
an Officer’s Certificate of the Seller certifying that the copy of
such assumption, modification or substitution agreement delivered to
the Trustee (or its custodian) on behalf of the Trust is a true copy
and that the original of such agreement has been forwarded to the
public recording office;
	 
	 	(v)	 	in the case of each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage
Loan, an original Assignment of Mortgage, in form and substance
acceptable for recording. The Mortgage shall be assigned to
“Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee for Thornburg
Mortgage Securities Trust 2004-2, without recourse;”
	 
	 	(vi)	 	in the case of each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage
Loan, an original copy of any intervening Assignment of Mortgage
showing a complete chain of assignments, or, in the case of an
intervening Assignment of Mortgage that has

64

 

	 	 	 	been lost, a written Opinion of Counsel (delivered at the Seller’s
expense) acceptable to the Trustee that such original intervening
Assignment of Mortgage is not required to enforce the Trustee’s
interest in the Mortgage Loans;
	 
	 	(vii)	 	the original Primary Insurance Policy, if any, or
certificate, if any;
	 
	 	(viii)	 	the original or a certified copy of lender’s title insurance
policy;
	 
	 	(ix)	 	the original or copies of each assumption, modification,
written assurance or substitution agreement, if any; and
	 
	 	(x)	 	with respect to any Cooperative Loan, the Cooperative Loan
Documents.

     In connection with the assignment of any MERS Mortgage Loan, the Seller
agrees that it will take (or shall cause the applicable Servicer to take), at
the expense of the Seller (with the cooperation of the Depositor, the Trustee
and the Master Servicer), such actions as are necessary to cause the MERS®
System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Seller to
the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement for the benefit of the
Certificateholders by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans
that are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer files
the information required by the MERS® System to identify the series of the
Certificates issued in connection with the transfer of such Mortgage Loans to
the Thornburg Mortgage Securities Trust 2004-2.

     With respect to each Cooperative Loan the Seller, on behalf of the
Depositor does hereby deliver to the Trustee the related Cooperative Loan
Documents and the Seller will take (or shall cause the applicable Servicer to
take), at the expense of the Seller (with the cooperation of the Depositor, the
Trustee and the Master Servicer) such actions as are necessary under applicable
law (including but not limited to the relevant UCC) in order to perfect the
interest of the Trustee in the related Mortgaged Property.

     Assignments of each Mortgage with respect to each Mortgage Loan that is
not a MERS Mortgage Loan (other than a Cooperative Loan) shall be recorded;
provided, however, that such assignments need not be recorded if, in the
Opinion of Counsel (which must be from Independent Counsel and not at the
expense of the Trust or the Trustee) acceptable to the Trustee, each Rating
Agency and the Master Servicer, recording in such states is not required to
protect the Trust’s interest in the related Mortgage Loans; provided,
however, notwithstanding the delivery of any Opinion of Counsel, each
assignment of Mortgage shall be submitted for recording by the Seller (or the
Seller will cause the applicable Servicer to submit each such assignment for
recording), at the cost and expense of the Seller, in the manner described
above, at no expense to the Trust or Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of (1)
reasonable direction by the Majority Certificateholders, (2) the occurrence of
a bankruptcy or insolvency relating to the Seller or the Depositor, or (3) with
respect to any one Assignment of Mortgage, the occurrence of a bankruptcy,
insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage.
Subject to the preceding sentence, as soon as practicable after the Closing
Date (but in no event more than three months thereafter except to the extent
delays are caused by the applicable

65

 

recording office), the Seller shall properly
record (or the Seller will cause the applicable Servicer to properly record),
at the expense of the Seller (with the cooperation of the Depositor, the
Trustee and the Master Servicer), in each public recording office where the
related Mortgages are recorded, each assignment referred to in Section 2.01(v)
above with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage Loan.

     The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver to the Depositor on or prior to
the Closing Date an acknowledgment of receipt of the original Mortgage Note
(with any exceptions noted), substantially in the form attached as Exhibit G-1
hereto.

     If the original lender’s title insurance policy, or a certified copy
thereof, was not delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(viii) above, the Seller
shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee 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, promptly upon receipt thereof, but in
any case within 175 days of the Closing Date. The Seller shall deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Trustee, promptly upon receipt thereof, any other
documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received with respect to any
Mortgage Loan sold to the Depositor by the Seller, including, but not limited
to, any original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of any
Mortgage Loan.

     For Mortgage Loans (if any) that have been prepaid in full after the
Cut-off Date and prior to the Closing Date, the Seller, in lieu of delivering
the above documents, herewith delivers to the Trustee, or to the Custodian on
behalf of the Trustee, an Officer’s Certificate which shall include a statement
to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such prepayment that
are required to be deposited in the Distribution Account have been so
deposited. All original documents that are not delivered to the Trustee on
behalf of the Trust shall be held by the Master Servicer or the applicable
Servicer in trust for the Trustee, for the benefit of the Trust and the
Certificateholders.

     Upon discovery or receipt of notice of any materially defective document
in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File, the Seller shall have
90 days to cure such defect or deliver such missing document to the Trustee.
If the Seller does not cure such defect or deliver such missing document within
such time period, the Seller shall either repurchase or substitute for such
Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 2.03 hereof.

     The Depositor herewith delivers to the Trustee an executed copy of the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and each Servicing Agreement.

     SECTION 2.02. Acceptance by Trustee.

     The Trustee hereby accepts its appointment as Custodian hereunder and
acknowledges the receipt, 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, of the documents referred to in Section
2.01 above and all other assets included in the definition of

66

 

“Trust Fund” and declares that, in its capacity as Custodian, 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 further agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to
review each Mortgage File delivered to it and to certify and deliver to the
Depositor, the Seller and each Rating Agency an interim certification in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-2, within 90 days after the
Closing Date (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 five Business Days after the assignment thereof) 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 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 relate to such Mortgage Loan
and (iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing, the
information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items
(i), (ii), (iii), (xiii), (xiv) and (xviii) 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 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, 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.

     No later than 180 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver
to the Depositor and the Seller a final certification in the form annexed
hereto as Exhibit G-3 evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files, 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 finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File
to be missing or not conforming to the requirements as
set forth herein, at the conclusion of its review the Trustee (or the
Custodian as its designated agent) shall promptly notify the Seller, the
Depositor and the Master Servicer. In addition, upon the discovery by the
Seller or the Depositor (or upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification
of such breach) of a breach of any of the representations and warranties made
by the Seller in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any
Mortgage Loan that materially adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the
interests of the related Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party
discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties
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 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

67

 

conveyance is deemed to be, or to be made as security for, a loan, the
parties intend that the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted and does
hereby grant to the Trustee a first priority perfected security interest in all
of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans, the
related Mortgage Notes and the related documents, and that this Agreement shall
constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

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

     (a) Upon discovery or receipt of written notice that a document does not
comply with the requirements of Section 2.01, or that a
document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of the breach by the Seller of any
representation, warranty or covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
or in Section 2.04 or Section 2.08 hereof in respect of any Mortgage Loan which
materially adversely affects the value of that Mortgage Loan or the interest
therein of the Certificateholders, the Trustee (or the Custodian as its
designated agent) shall promptly notify the Seller of such noncompliance,
missing document or breach and request that the Seller deliver such missing
document or cure such noncompliance or breach within 90 days from the date that
the Seller was notified of such missing document, noncompliance or breach, and
if the Seller does not deliver such missing document or cure such noncompliance
or breach in all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall
enforce the Seller’s obligation under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and
cause the Seller to repurchase that 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) below); provided, however,
that, in connection with any such breach that could not reasonably have been
cured within such 90 day period, if the Seller shall have commenced to cure
such breach within such 90 day period, the Seller shall be permitted to proceed
thereafter diligently and expeditiously to cure the same within the additional
period provided under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; and, provided
further, that, in the case of the breach of any representation, warranty or
covenant made by the Seller in Schedule III to the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, the Seller shall be obligated to cure such breach or purchase the
affected Mortgage Loans for the Purchase Price or, if the Mortgage Loan or the
related Mortgaged Property acquired with respect thereto has been sold, then
the Seller shall pay, in lieu of the Purchase Price, any excess of the Purchase
Price over the Net Liquidation Proceeds received upon such sale. The Purchase
Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan or such other amount due shall be
deposited in the Collection Account on or prior to the next Determination Date
after the Seller’s obligation to repurchase such Mortgage Loan arises. The
Trustee, upon receipt of written certification from the Master Servicer of the
related deposit in the Collection Account, shall release to the Seller the
related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of
transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Seller shall
furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller any Mortgage Loan
released pursuant hereto and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility
with regard to such Mortgage File (it being understood that the Trustee shall
have no responsibility for determining the sufficiency of such assignment for
its intended purpose). In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as
provided above, the Seller 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

68

 

and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d) below. It is
understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure or to
repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document is
missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which such
a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy
against the Seller respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the
Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.

     The Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Seller under the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement including, without limitation, any obligation of the
Seller to purchase a Mortgage Loan on account of missing or defective
documentation or on account of a breach of a representation, warranty or
covenant as described in this Section 2.03(a).

     (b) If pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.03(a), the Seller
repurchases or otherwise removes from the Trust Fund a Mortgage Loan that is a
MERS Mortgage Loan, the Seller will take (or shall cause the applicable
Servicer to take), at the expense of the Seller (with the cooperation of the
Depositor, the Trustee and the Master Servicer), such actions as are necessary
either (i) cause MERS to execute and deliver an Assignment of Mortgage in
recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Seller and shall
cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS® System in
accordance with MERS’ rules and regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on
the MERS® System the Seller or its designee as the beneficial holder of such
Mortgage Loan.

     (c) [Reserved].

     (d) Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for Deleted
Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) above 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 the Seller substitutes a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the
Seller delivering to the Trustee, for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee, and
such other documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon,
as are required by Section 2.01 hereof, together with an Officers’ Certificate
stating 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; provided, however, that,
in the case of any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage
Loan, the Seller shall provide such documents and take such other action with
respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as are required pursuant to
Section 2.01 hereof. The Trustee shall acknowledge receipt for such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within five Business Days thereafter,
shall review such documents as specified in Section 2.02 hereof and deliver to
the related Servicer, with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
or Loans, a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
G-2, with any exceptions noted thereon. Within 180 days of the date of
substitution, the Trustee shall deliver to the Seller and the Master Servicer a
certification substantially in the form of Exhibit G-3 hereto with respect to
such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any exceptions noted
thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans in the month of substitution are not part of

69

 

the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Seller. 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 Depositor or the Seller, as the
case may be, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently
received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall give or
cause to be given written notice to the Certificateholders that such
substitution has taken place, shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to
reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this
Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the
Trustee. Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans shall constitute part of the Trust Fund and shall be subject in all
respects to the terms of this Agreement and, in the case of a substitution
effected by the Seller, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including, in the
case of a substitution effected by the Seller all representations and
warranties thereof included in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and all
representations and warranties thereof set forth in Section 2.04 hereof, in
each case as of the date of substitution.

     For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Seller
shall determine, and provide written certification to the Trustee and the
Seller as to, the amount (each, a “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 principal
balance thereof as of the date of substitution, together with one month’s
interest on such principal balance at the applicable Net Loan Rate. On or
prior to the next Determination Date after the Seller’s obligation to
repurchase the related Deleted Mortgage Loan arises, the Seller will deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account an
amount equal to the related Substitution Adjustment, if any, and the Trustee,
upon receipt of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, shall
release to the Seller the related Mortgage File or Files and shall execute and
deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, as the Seller shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest
therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.

     In addition, the Seller shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution (either
specifically or as a class of transactions) 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)(l) of the Code or on
“contributions after the startup date” under Section 860G(d)(l) of the Code, or
(b) any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that
any Certificate is outstanding. If such Opinion of Counsel cannot 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 Seller or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan
does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within two
Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection
therewith, the Seller shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth
in Section 2.03(d), substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans
for the

70

 

affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or
receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Any such
repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in
Section 2.03(a) above, if made by the Seller. The Trustee shall reconvey to
the Seller the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner,
and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased
for breach of a representation or warranty.

     SECTION 2.04. Representations and Warranties of the Seller with Respect
to the Mortgage Loans.

     The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee for the benefit
of the Certificateholders that the representations and warranties made by the
Seller pursuant to Schedule III to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement are
hereby being made to the Trustee and are true and correct as of the Closing
Date.

     With respect to the representations and warranties incorporated in this
Section 2.04 that are made to the best of the Seller’s knowledge or as to which
the Seller has no knowledge, if it is discovered by the Depositor, the Seller
or the Trustee that the substance of such representation and warranty is
inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of
the related Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders
then, notwithstanding the Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the
substance of such representation and warranty being inaccurate at the time the
representation or warranty was made, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach
of the applicable representation or warranty.

     Within 90 days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such
missing or materially defective documentation or any such breach of a
representation or warranty, the Seller shall promptly deliver such missing
document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects or, in the
event such defect or breach cannot be cured, the Seller shall repurchase the
affected Mortgage Loan or cause the removal of such Mortgage Loan from the
Trust Fund and substitute for it one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans, in either case, in accordance with Section 2.03 hereof.

     It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties
incorporated in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files
to the Trustee and shall inure to the benefit of the Certificateholders
notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement or assignment. Upon
discovery by any of the Depositor, the Seller or the Trustee of a breach of any
of the foregoing representations and warranties which materially and adversely
affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interests therein of the
Certificateholders, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written
notice to the other parties, and in no event later than two Business Days from
the date of such discovery. It is understood and agreed that the obligations
of the Seller set forth in Section 2.03(a) hereof to cure, substitute for or
repurchase a related Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement constitute the sole remedies available to the Certificateholders or
to the Trustee on their behalf respecting a breach of the representations and
warranties incorporated in this Section 2.04.

ARTICLE III

 ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING

OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS

     SECTION 3.01. Master Servicer to Service and Administer the Mortgage Loans.

     The Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the obligation of
the Servicers to service and administer their respective Mortgage Loans in
accordance with the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement and, where
applicable, the Correspondent Sellers Guide and the Master Servicing Guide, 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

75

 

Accepted Master Servicing Practices and, where
applicable, the Master Servicing Guide. Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall
oversee and consult with each 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 each Servicer and shall cause each Servicer to perform and observe
the covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by such
Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall
independently and separately monitor each 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 Servicers’ and Master Servicer’s
records, and based on such reconciled and corrected information, prepare the
statements specified in Section 5.04 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 Servicers to the
related Servicing Accounts pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreements.

     The Trustee shall furnish the Servicers and the Master Servicer with any
limited powers of attorney and other documents in form acceptable to the
Trustee, necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicers and the Master
Servicer to service and administer the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property,
which limited powers of attorney shall provide that the Trustee will not be
liable for the actions or omissions of the Servicers or Master Servicer in
exercising such powers.

     The Trustee shall provide access to the records and documentation in
possession of the Trustee (including in its capacity as Custodian hereunder)
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;
provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by law, the Trustee shall
not 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 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 actual costs.

     The Trustee shall execute and deliver to 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 Mortgage; (iii) obtain a
deficiency judgment against the Mortgagor; or (iv) enforce any other rights or
remedies provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at
law or equity.

     SECTION 3.02. 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 each such REMIC as a REMIC, and the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall
comply with any

76

 

directions of the Depositor, the related Servicer 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 prepared at the expense of the Trust; and (b)
other than with respect to a substitution pursuant to the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement or Section 2.03 or 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable,
accept any contribution to any REMIC after the Startup Day without receipt of a
REMIC Opinion.

     SECTION 3.03. Monitoring of Servicers.

     (a) The Master Servicer shall be responsible for reporting to the Trustee
(on behalf of the Trust) and the Depositor the compliance by each Servicer with
its duties under the related Servicing Agreement. In the review of each
Servicer’s activities, the Master Servicer may rely upon an officer’s
certificate of the Servicer with regard to such Servicer’s compliance with the
terms of its Servicing Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer, in
its judgment, determines that a Servicer should be terminated in accordance
with its Servicing Agreement, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to such
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 Depositor 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 Trust and the
Certificateholders, shall (acting as agent of the Trust when enforcing the
Trust’s rights under each Servicing Agreement)(i) enforce the obligations of
each Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement, and (ii) in the event that
a Servicer fails to perform its obligations in accordance with the related
Servicing Agreement, subject to the preceding paragraph, terminate the rights
and obligations of such Servicer thereunder and act as servicer of the related
Mortgage Loans or enter into a new Servicing Agreement with a successor
Servicer selected by the Master Servicer which the Master Servicer shall cause
the Trustee to acknowledge; 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 Servicing
Agreements and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form
and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in
its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the
related Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such
enforcement at its own expense, 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 a Servicer, appointment of a successor Servicer
or the transfer and assumption of servicing by the Master Servicer with respect
to any Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs
and expenses associated

77

 

with an evaluation of the potential termination of the
Servicer as a result of an event of default by such Servicer 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 servicer to service the Mortgage Loans in
accordance with the related Servicing Agreement) are not fully and timely
reimbursed by the terminated Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to
reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Collection Account.

     (d) The Master Servicer shall require each Servicer to comply with the
remittance requirements and other obligations set forth in the related
Servicing Agreement.

     (e) If the Master Servicer acts as Servicer, it will not assume liability
for the representations and warranties of the Servicer, if any, that it
replaces.

     (f) With respect to Additional Collateral Mortgage Loans, the Master
Servicer shall have no duty or obligation to supervise, monitor or oversee the
activities of each Servicer under its Servicing Agreement with respect to
Additional Collateral or the Certificate Guaranty Surety Bond, except (a) with
respect to any instances where a Servicer, in the course of fulfilling its
obligations under the related Servicing Agreement seeks directions,
instructions, consents or waivers from the Master Servicer with respect to any
item of Additional Collateral, or (b) upon the occurrence of the following
events (i) in the case of a final liquidation of any Mortgaged Property secured
by Additional Collateral, the Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation of
the Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement to liquidate such Additional
Collateral as required by such Servicing Agreement, and (ii) if the Master
Servicer assumes the obligations of such Servicer as successor Servicer under
the related Servicing Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.03, as successor
Servicer, it shall be bound to service and administer the Additional Collateral
and the related Certificate Guaranty Surety Bond in accordance with the
provisions of such Servicing Agreement.

     SECTION 3.04. 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 3.05. 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 X 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

78

 

(i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, the Trust 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, Liquidation Proceeds and Recoveries,
and (iv) to effectuate, in its own name, on behalf the Trust, or in the name of
the Trust, 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 3.03, shall not permit any
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 result in an
Adverse REMIC Event 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 result in an Adverse REMIC Event. The Trustee
shall furnish the Master Servicer, upon written request from a Servicing
Officer, with any limited powers of attorney empowering the Master Servicer or
any 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 applicable 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 or any Servicer). In instituting foreclosures or similar proceedings,
the Master Servicer shall institute such proceedings either in its own name on
behalf of the Trust or in the name of the Trust (or cause the related Servicer,
pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement, to institute such proceedings
either in the name of such Servicer on behalf of the Trust or in the name of
the Trust), unless otherwise required by law or otherwise appropriate. 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 Trust or the Trustee on its behalf or that the Trust or the
Trustee, as applicable, 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, on behalf of the Trust, in the
appointment of a co-trustee pursuant to Section 8.10 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 3.06. Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.

     To the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement and to the
extent Mortgage Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master
Servicer shall cause the Servicers to enforce such clauses in accordance with
the applicable Servicing Agreement. If applicable law prohibits the enforcement of a due-on-sale clause or such clause is
otherwise not enforced in

79

 

accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement,
and, as a consequence, a Mortgage Loan is assumed, the original Mortgagor may
be released from liability in accordance with the applicable Servicing
Agreement.

     SECTION 3.07. Release of Mortgage Files.

     (a) Upon becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or
the receipt by any 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 Servicer will, if
required under the applicable Servicing Agreement, promptly furnish to the
Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, two copies of a certification
substantially in the form of Exhibit F 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 related Servicing Account
maintained by the applicable Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01 or by the
applicable Servicer pursuant to its Servicing Agreement have been or will be so
deposited) and shall request that the Trustee (or the Custodian, on behalf of
the Trustee) deliver to the applicable Servicer the related Mortgage File.
Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Trustee (or the Custodian,
on behalf of the Trustee), shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to
the applicable Servicer and the Trustee (and the Custodian, if applicable)
shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. Upon
any such payment in full, each 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) 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 related Servicing Account.

     (b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure
of any Mortgage Loan and in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement,
the Trustee shall execute such documents as shall be prepared and furnished to
the Trustee by a Servicer or the Master Servicer (in form reasonably acceptable
to the Trustee) and as are necessary to the prosecution of any such
proceedings. The Trustee (or the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee), shall,
upon the request of a Servicer or the Master Servicer, and delivery to the
Trustee (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
F (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 Servicer or the Master
Servicer, as applicable. Such trust receipt shall obligate the Servicer or the
Master Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Trustee (or the Custodian on
behalf of the Trustee) when the need therefor by the Servicer or the Master
Servicer 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

80

 

Mortgage File shall be released by the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf
of the Trustee), to the Servicer or the Master Servicer.

     SECTION 3.08. Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Master
Servicer To Be Held for Trust.

     (a) The Master Servicer shall transmit and each Servicer (to the extent
required by the related Servicing Agreement) shall transmit to the Trustee (or
Custodian) such documents and instruments coming into the possession of the
Master Servicer or such Servicer from time to time as are required by the terms
hereof, or in the case of the Servicers, the applicable Servicing Agreement, to
be delivered to the Trustee (or Custodian). Any funds received by the Master
Servicer or by a Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loan or which otherwise
are collected by the Master Servicer or by a Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds,
Insurance Proceeds or Recoveries in respect of any Mortgage Loan shall be held
for the benefit of the Trust and the Certificateholders subject to the Master
Servicer’s right to retain or withdraw from the Collection Account the Master
Servicing Fee, any additional compensation pursuant to Section 3.14 and any
other amounts provided in this Agreement, and to the right of each Servicer to
retain its Servicing Fee and any other amounts as provided in the applicable
Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall, and (to the extent provided in
the applicable Servicing Agreement) shall cause each 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,
Insurance Proceeds or Recoveries, shall be held by the Master Servicer for and
on behalf of the Trust and the Certificateholders and shall be and remain the
sole and exclusive property of the Trust; provided, however, that the Master
Servicer and each 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 applicable
Servicing Agreement.

     SECTION 3.09. Standard Hazard Insurance and Flood Insurance Policies.

     (a) For each Mortgage Loan (other than a Cooperative Loan), the Master
Servicer shall enforce any obligation of the Servicers under the related
Servicing Agreements to maintain or cause to be maintained standard fire and
casualty insurance and, where applicable, flood

81

 

insurance, all in accordance with the provisions of the related Servicing
Agreements. It is understood and agreed that such insurance shall be with
insurers meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in the applicable
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 Section 4.01 and 4.02, any amounts collected by the
Servicers or the Master Servicer, or by any Servicer, 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 the applicable Servicing Agreement) shall be deposited into the
Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.02 and 4.03.
Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or any 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 or such Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02 and 4.03.

     SECTION 3.10. Presentment of Claims and Collection of Proceeds.

     The Master Servicer shall (to the extent provided in the applicable
Servicing Agreement) cause the related Servicer to, prepare and present on
behalf of the Trustee, the Trust 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 a Servicer and remitted to the Master
Servicer) in respect of such policies, bonds or contracts shall be promptly
deposited in the 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 3.11. Maintenance of the Primary Insurance Policies.

     (a) The Master Servicer shall not take, or permit any Servicer (to the
extent such action is prohibited under the applicable Servicing Agreement) to
take, any action that would result in noncoverage under any applicable Primary
Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of such Master Servicer
or Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The Master Servicer shall use
its best reasonable efforts to cause each Servicer (to the extent required
under 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 lender-paid Primary Insurance 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 any Servicer
(to the extent required under the

82

 

related Servicing Agreement) to, cancel or refuse to renew any such
Primary 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 each Servicer (to the extent
required under the related Servicing Agreement) to present, on behalf of the
Trustee, the Trust and the Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any
Primary Insurance Policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action
as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Insurance Policies
respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to Section 4.01 and 4.02, any
amounts collected by the Servicer under any Primary Insurance Policies shall be
deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section
4.03.

     SECTION 3.12. 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 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
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 3.13. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

     The Master Servicer shall cause each Servicer (to the extent required
under 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 the applicable Servicing Agreement.

     SECTION 3.14. Additional Compensation to the Master Servicer. 

     Pursuant to Section 4.02(c), certain income and gain realized from any
investment of funds in the Collection Account shall be for the benefit of the
Master Servicer as additional compensation. Servicing compensation in the form
of assumption fees, if any, late payment charges, as collected, if any, or
otherwise (but, unless otherwise specifically permitted in a Servicing
Agreement, not including any Prepayment Penalty Amounts) shall be retained by
the

83

 

applicable Servicer, or the Master Servicer, and shall not be deposited in
the related Servicing Account or Collection Account. 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. The amount of the aggregate compensation
payable as set forth in this Section 3.14 plus the Master Servicing Fee due to
the Master Servicer in respect of any Distribution Date shall be reduced in
accordance with Section 5.06.

     SECTION 3.15. REO Property.

     (a) In the event the Trust (or the Trustee on its behalf) acquires
ownership of any REO Property in respect of any related Mortgage Loan, the deed
or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trust, or if required under
applicable law, to the Trustee, or to its nominee, on behalf of the Trust. The
Master Servicer shall, to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing
Agreement, cause the applicable Servicer to sell, any REO Property as
expeditiously as possible (and in no event later than three years after
acquisition) 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 applicable Servicer to
protect and conserve, such REO Property in the manner and to the extent
required by the applicable 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 the related
Servicing Agreement, cause the applicable Servicer to deposit all funds
collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property in
the related Servicing Account.

     (c) The Master Servicer and the applicable 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
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 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 applicable Servicer as provided above
shall be deposited in the related Servicing Account on or prior to the
applicable 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 Collection Account on the next succeeding Servicer
Remittance Date.

84

 

     SECTION 3.16. Annual Officer’s Certificate as to Compliance.

     (a) The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator and each Rating Agency on or before March 1 of each year,
commencing on March 1, 2005, 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 any Servicer has failed to perform any of its
duties, responsibilities and obligations under its 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 3.17. 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 Trustee, each Rating Agency and the
Depositor on or before March 1 of each year, commencing on March 1, 2005 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. If such report discloses exceptions that are

85

 

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 3.18. 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 with a
copy of the statement to the Trustee who shall furnish a copy of the statement
to the Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto.
Prior to January 30, 2005, the Securities Administrator shall, in accordance
with industry standards, file a Form 15 Suspension Notice with respect to the
Trust, if applicable. Prior to (i) March 1, 2005 and (ii) unless and until a
Form 15 Suspension Notice shall have been filed, prior to March 1 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 each
Servicer, in each case, required to be delivered pursuant to its 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 Section 3.17. Prior to (i) March 31, 2005 and (ii) unless
and until a Form 15 Suspension Notice shall have been filed, the 90th day 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.
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 and 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 3.18; provided, however, the Securities Administrator will
cooperate with the Depositor in connection with any additional filings with
respect to the Trust as the Depositor deems necessary under the Exchange Act.
Copies of all reports filed by the Securities Administrator under the Exchange
Act shall be sent to the Depositor. Fees and expenses incurred by the
Securities Administrator in connection with this Section 3.18 shall not be
reimbursable from the Trust.

     SECTION 3.19. Amendments to Master Servicing Guide and Correspondent
Sellers Guide. 

     The Seller and the Master Servicer hereby agree not to amend the Master
Servicing Guide or the Correspondent Sellers Guide with respect to the Mortgage
Loans (which are Securitized Loans (as defined therein)) which amendment would
(i) change the Servicer

86

 

Remittance Date or date for remittance of any servicer reports or monthly
remittance advices, (ii) change the manner in which any Servicer makes
Advances, servicing advances or amounts to compensate for Interest Shortfalls
or (iii) otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Trust or the
Certificateholders unless such changes are made pursuant to the provisions of
Section 12.01 hereof.

     SECTION 3.20. UCC.

     The Trustee agrees to file continuation statements for any Uniform
Commercial Code financing statements which the Depositor has informed the
Trustee in writing were filed on the Closing Date in connection with the Trust,
provided that the Trustee receives the related filing information on a timely
basis. The Depositor shall file any financing statements or amendments thereto
required by any change in the Uniform Commercial Code.

     SECTION 3.21. Optional and Required Purchases of Certain Mortgage Loans.

     (a) Thornburg, in its capacity as a Servicer of a substantial portion of
the Mortgage Loans, shall have the right to purchase from the Trust any
Mortgage Loan which as of the first day of a calendar quarter is delinquent in
payment by 90 days or more or is an REO Property, at a price equal to the
Purchase 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 calendar 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 calendar quarter.

     (b) In addition, Thornburg, in its capacity as the Seller, may, but is not
required to, repurchase any Mortgage Loan as to which the Mortgagor has
requested a Significant Modification and such Mortgagor has a satisfactory
payment history under such Mortgage Loan and meets the credit standards of the
Seller for the loan program selected (a “Significant Modification Loan”). A
“Significant Modification” shall mean any modification to the interest rate of
the greater of (i) 0.25% added or subtracted from the existing rate and (ii) a
change equal to the product of (a) 5% and (b) the annual existing interest rate
thereon, which is not provided for in the related Mortgage Note. The purchase
price for any repurchase pursuant to this Section 3.21(b) shall be the
applicable Purchase Price. In order to exercise its repurchase rights
hereunder, the Seller shall deliver to the Master Servicer and the Trustee an
Officer’s Certificate identifying the Mortgage Loan to be repurchased and
certifying that (i) such Mortgage Loan is a Significant Modification Loan, and
(ii) that the Significant Modification Loan will be entered into on the date of
such repurchase.

     (c) No later than the fourth Business Day prior to each Distribution Date,
Thornburg will provide to the Master Servicer a list identifying all Mortgage
Loans that became Converted Mortgage Loans or Modified Mortgage Loans during
the related Due Period. On the third Business Day prior to each Distribution
Date, provided that it has received such list from

87

 

Thornburg, the Master Servicer shall prepare and provide to TMI a
Converted Mortgage Loan Schedule and a Modified Mortgage Loan Schedule with
respect to such Due Period. No later than 1:00 PM Eastern Time on the second
Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, TMI shall purchase each Converted
Mortgage Loan and Modified Mortgage Loan, to the extent specified in a
Converted Mortgage Loan Schedule or Modified Mortgage Loan Schedule delivered
to it by the Master Servicer for such Distribution Date, at the applicable
Purchase Price for each such Converted Mortgage Loan or Modified Mortgage Loan,
as applicable, and shall remit such Purchase Price to the Master Servicer for
deposit in the Collection Account.

     (d) If at any time Thornburg or TMI, as applicable, remits to the Master
Servicer a payment for deposit in the Collection Account covering the amount of
the Purchase Price for a Mortgage Loan of the type set forth in clauses (a),
(b) or (c) above, as applicable, and Thornburg, or TMI, as applicable, provides
to the Trustee a certification signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the
amount of such payment has been deposited in the Collection Account, then the
Trustee shall execute the assignment of such Mortgage Loan at the request of
Thornburg or TMI without recourse to Thornburg or TMI, as applicable, which
shall succeed to all the Trust’s and/or 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.
Thornburg or TMI, as applicable, will thereupon own such Mortgage Loan, and all
such security and documents, free of any further obligation to the Trust, the
Trustee or the Certificateholders with respect thereto.

     SECTION 3.22. Realization upon Troubled Mortgage Loans.

     The Master Servicer shall have the right to cause a Servicer to sell or
work out any Mortgage Loan as to which the Master Servicer reasonably believes
that default in payment is likely, provided, however, that, with respect to any
such sale of a Mortgage Loan by a Servicer, the related sale price shall be no
less than the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the last day
of the Due Period immediately preceding the date of such sale plus accrued
interest thereon through such sale date. Any and all proceeds from such a sale
shall be deemed to be Liquidation Proceeds hereunder and any such Mortgage Loan
which has been sold shall be deemed a Liquidated Mortgage Loan hereunder.

     SECTION 3.23. Closing Certificate and Opinion.

     On or before the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall cause to be
delivered to the Depositor, the Seller, the Trustee, and Greenwich Capital
Markets, Inc. an Opinion of Counsel, dated the Closing Date, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, Greenwich Capital Markets,
Inc., and the Seller as to the due authorization, execution and delivery of
this Agreement by the Master Servicer and the enforceability thereof.

     SECTION 3.24. Liabilities of the Master Servicer.

The Master Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the

88

 

obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by it herein.

     SECTION 3.25.Merger or Consolidation of the Master Servicer.

     (a) 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 Master Servicer may be merged or
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to
which the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the
business of the Master Servicer, shall be the successor of 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 3.26. Indemnification of the Trustee, the Delaware 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 (except as
otherwise provided herein with respect to expenses) (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 this 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), an Indemnified Person shall have given the Master
Servicer and the Depositor written notice thereof promptly after such
Indemnified Person shall have with respect to such claim or legal action
knowledge thereof. The Indemnified Person’s failure to give such notice shall
not affect the Indemnified Person’s right to indemnification hereunder. This
indemnity shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the Delaware
Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator and the
termination of this Agreement.

     (b) The Trust will indemnify any Indemnified Person for any loss,
liability or expense of any Indemnified Person not otherwise referred to in
Subsection (a) above.

     (c) The Securities Administrator agrees to indemnify the Indemnified
Persons (other than the Securities Administrator) for, and to hold them
harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (except as otherwise provided
herein with respect to expenses) (including reasonable legal fees and
disbursements of counsel) incurred on their part (i) in connection with,
arising out of, or relating to the Securities Administrator’s failure to file a
Form 10-K in accordance with

89

 

Section 3.18, (ii) by reason of the Securities Administrator’s willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of such
obligations pursuant to Section 3.18 or (iii) by reason of the Securities
Administrator’s reckless disregard of such obligations pursuant to Section
3.18, provided, in each case, that with respect to any such claim or legal
action (or pending or threatened claim or legal action), an Indemnified Person
shall have given the Securities Administrator written notice thereof promptly
after such Indemnified Person shall have with respect to such claim or legal
action knowledge thereof. The Indemnified Person’s failure to give such notice
shall not affect the Indemnified Person’s right to indemnification hereunder.
This indemnity shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the
Delaware Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator and the
termination of this Agreement.

     SECTION 3.27. Limitations on Liability of the Master Servicer and Others.

     Subject to the obligation of the Master Servicer to indemnify the
Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 3.26:

     (a) Neither the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers,
employees or agents of the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the
Indemnified Persons, the Depositor, the Trust 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 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 Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of
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 Master Servicer, the Delaware Trustee, the Trustee, the Custodian
(including for such purpose, the Trustee acting in its capacity as Custodian)
and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Master Servicer, the
Delaware Trustee, the Trustee or the Custodian shall be indemnified by the
Trust and held harmless thereby against any loss, liability or expense (except
as otherwise provided herein with respect to expenses) (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, this Agreement,
the Certificates or any Servicing Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby (except to the extent that the Master Servicer is indemnified
by the Servicer thereunder), other than (i) with respect to the Master Servicer
or Custodian only, any such loss, liability or expense related to the Master
Servicer’s failure to perform its duties in compliance with this Agreement or,
if applicable, to the Custodian’s failure to perform its duties under this
Agreement, or (ii) with respect to the Master Servicer or Custodian only, any
such loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of the Master Servicer’s or
the Custodian’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 or under a custodial agreement.

     (d) The Master Servicer shall not 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,
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 Trust and the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event,
the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting
therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust, and the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Collection
Account as provided by Section 4.03. Nothing in this Subsection 3.27(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 3.01(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
any Servicer, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

     SECTION 3.28. Master Servicer Not to Resign. 

     Except as provided in Section 3.30, the Master Servicer shall not resign
from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except 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 Independent Opinion of Counsel (delivered at the expense of the
Master Servicer) to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation
by the Master Servicer shall become effective until 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 7.02 hereof. The Trustee shall notify each Rating
Agency of the resignation of the Master Servicer.

     SECTION 3.29. Successor Master Servicer.

     In connection with the appointment of any successor master servicer or the
assumption of the duties of the Master Servicer, the Trustee may make such
arrangements for the compensation of such successor master servicer out of
payments on the Mortgage Loans as the Trustee and such successor master
servicer shall agree which in no case shall exceed the Master Servicing Fee.
If the successor master servicer does not agree that the proposed compensation
is fair, such successor master servicer shall obtain two quotations of market
compensation from third parties

91

 

actively engaged in the servicing of single-family mortgage loans;
provided, however, that Thornburg, as a Servicer of a substantial portion of
the Mortgage Loans, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to be
appointed successor master servicer in the event that the Trustee, in its sole
discretion, decides not to assume the duties of the Master Servicer itself; and
provided, further, that each Rating Agency shall confirm in writing that any
appointment of a successor Master Servicer (other than the Trustee) will not
result in a downgrade in the then current rating of any Class of Certificates.

     SECTION 3.30. Sale and Assignment of Master Servicing.

     The Master Servicer may sell and assign its rights and delegate its duties
and obligations in their entirety as Master Servicer under this Agreement, with
the written consent of Thornburg in its capacity as a Servicer of a substantial
portion of the Mortgage Loans, to be given in its sole discretion, and provided
further that: (i) the purchaser or transferee accepting such assignment and
delegation (a) shall be a Person which 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 Thornburg and the
Trustee (as evidenced in writing signed by Thornburg and 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 ratings 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; and (iii) the
Master Servicer assigning and selling the master servicing shall deliver to the
Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Independent Opinion of Counsel,
(delivered at the Master Servicer’s expense) each stating that all conditions
precedent to such action under this Agreement have been completed and such
action is permitted by and complies with the terms of this Agreement. No such
assignment or delegation shall affect any liability of the Master Servicer
arising prior to the effective date thereof.

     SECTION 3.31. Reporting Requirements of the Commission.

     To the extent that, following the Closing Date, the content of Forms 8-K,
10-K or other Forms required by the Exchange Act and the Rules and Regulations
of the Commission and the time by which such Forms are required to be filed,
differs from the provisions of this Agreement, the Master Servicer and the
Securities Administrator hereby agree that each shall reasonably cooperate to
amend the provisions of this Agreement (in accordance with Section 12.01) in
order to comply with such amended reporting requirements and such amendment of
this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Master Servicer nor
the Securities Administrator shall

92

to be kept with respect thereto on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, into
which accounts shall be deposited within 48 hours (or as of such other time

Property received by a Servicer, including Principal Prepayments, Insurance

     (ii) Principal Prepayments in full and any Liquidation Proceeds
received by the Servicers with respect to such Mortgage Loans in the

93

 

interest to the date of prepayment or liquidation, net of the amount

related Prepayment Period;

     (iii) Principal Prepayments in part received by the Servicers for
such Mortgage Loans in the related Prepayment Period;

     (iv) Prepayment Penalty Amounts, if any, and only if required under

Master Servicer or a Servicer for Advances which have been recovered by
subsequent collection from the related Mortgagor; to remove amounts deposited
in error; to remove fees, charges or other such amounts deposited on a
temporary basis; or to clear and terminate the account at the termination of
this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.01. As provided in Sections

retained by them and need not be deposited in the Collection Account.

     SECTION 4.02. Collection Account.

     (a) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain an account, in the
name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Trust and the Certificateholders,

following amounts:

     (i) any amounts withdrawn from a Servicing Account pursuant to
Section 4.01(c);

     (ii) any Advance and any Compensating Interest Payments required to

     (iii) any Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or Recoveries
received by or on behalf of the Master Servicer or which were not
deposited in a Servicing Account;

     (iv) the Purchase Price with respect to any Mortgage Loans purchased
by the Seller under this Agreement, any Substitution Adjustments pursuant
to Section 2.03 of this Agreement, the Purchase Price with respect to any
Mortgage Loans purchased by Thornburg or TMI pursuant to Section 3.21,
and all proceeds of any Mortgage Loans or property acquired with respect
thereto repurchased by the Thornburg pursuant to Section 10.01;

94

 

     (v) any amounts required to be deposited with respect to losses on

     (b) All amounts deposited to the Collection Account shall be held by the
Master Servicer in the name of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the
Trust and Certificateholders in accordance with the terms and provisions of
this Agreement. The requirements for crediting the Collection Account or the

without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of (i)

the Collection Account, as applicable. In the event that the Master Servicer
shall deposit or cause to be deposited to the Distribution Account any amount
not required to be credited thereto, the Trustee, upon receipt of a written
request therefor signed by a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer, shall
promptly transfer such amount to the Master Servicer, any provision herein to
the contrary notwithstanding.

     (c) The amount at any time credited to the Collection Account shall be
invested, in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, in Permitted Investments as follows. All Permitted
Investments shall be for the benefit of Thornburg, in its capacity as Servicer,
except that the investment income with respect to the investment of funds in
the Collection Account made on the Business Day prior to the Master Servicer
Remittance Date shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer. All Permitted
Investments made for the benefit of Thornburg shall be made at the written
direction of Thornburg to the Master Servicer (or, if no such written direction
is received, in investments of the type specified in clause (vi) of the
definition of Permitted Investments), shall mature or be subject to redemption
or withdrawal on or before, and shall be held until, the Business Day prior to
the next succeeding Master Servicer Remittance Date. Any and all investment
earnings from such Permitted Investments shall be paid to Thornburg, and the
risk of loss of moneys resulting from such investments shall be borne by and be
the risk of Thornburg. Thornburg shall deposit the amount of any such loss in
the Collection Account within two Business Days of receipt of notification of
such loss but not later than the next succeeding Master Servicer Remittance
Date.

     All Permitted Investments made for the benefit of the Master Servicer
shall be in such Permitted Investments as shall be selected by the Master
Servicer and shall mature (and be subject to withdrawal and be held until) the
next succeeding Master Servicer Remittance Date. Any and all investment
earnings from such Permitted Investments shall be paid to the Master Servicer
and the risk of loss on such Permitted Investments shall be borne by and be the
risk of

95

 

the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall deposit the amount of any
such loss in the Collection Account no later than the next succeeding Master
Servicer Remittance Date.

     SECTION 4.03. Permitted Withdrawals and Transfers from the Collection
Account.

Servicer has determined to be appropriate in accordance herewith, for the
following purposes:

     (i) to reimburse the Master Servicer or any Servicer for any Advance

scheduled payment on such Mortgage Loan if paid in a timely manner by the
related Mortgagor;

which would have been covered by such subclauses had the amounts not been
retained by the Master Servicer without being deposited in the Distribution
Account under Section 4.02(b), and to allow the Securities Administrator to
calculate the amount of the Trustee Fee due the Trustee on the related
Distribution Date.

     (d) No later than 3:00 p.m. New York time on each Master Servicer
Remittance Date, the Master Servicer will transfer all Available Funds (which

     SECTION 4.04. Distribution Account.

     (a) The Trustee shall establish and maintain in the name of the Trustee,
for the benefit of the Trust and the Certificateholders, one or more segregated
trust account or accounts, each of which shall be a non-interest bearing
Eligible Account (such account or accounts, the “Distribution Account”).

     (b) All amounts deposited to the Distribution Account shall be held by the
Trustee in the name of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Trust and
the Certificateholders in accordance with the terms and provisions of this
Agreement.

     (c) The Distribution Account shall constitute a trust account of the Trust
segregated on the books of the Trustee and held by the Trustee in trust in its
Corporate Trust Office, and the Distribution Account and the funds deposited
therein shall not be subject to, and shall be protected from, all claims,
liens, and encumbrances of any creditors or depositors of the Trustee or the
Master Servicer (whether made directly, or indirectly through a liquidator or
receiver of the Trustee or the Master Servicer). The amount at any time
credited to the Distribution Account shall be (i) fully insured by the FDIC to
the maximum coverage provided thereby or (ii) invested in the name of the

may be necessary to ensure that the Trust and the Certificateholders shall be
entitled to the priorities afforded to such a trust account (in addition to a
claim against the estate of the Trustee) as provided by 12 U.S.C. § 92a(e), and
applicable regulations pursuant thereto, if applicable, or any applicable
comparable state statute applicable to state chartered banking corporations, if

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.

the Securities Administrator’s customer service desk at (301) 815-6600.
Parties that are unable to use the above distribution option are entitled to

     SECTION 5.05. Remittance Reports; Advances. 

     (a) No later than the second Business Day following each Determination
Date, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Securities Administrator by
telecopy or electronic mail (or by such other means as the Master Servicer and
the Securities Administrator may agree from time to time) the Remittance Report
with respect to the related Distribution Date. Not later than the Close of
Business New York time three Business Days prior to the related Distribution
Date, the
Master Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Securities
Administrator in addition to the information provided on the Remittance Report,
such other loan-level information reasonably available to it with respect to
the Mortgage Loans as the Securities Administrator may reasonably require to
perform the calculations necessary to make the distributions contemplated by
Section 5.01.

     (b) If the Monthly 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 related Servicer was required to make an advance
pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement exceeds the amount deposited in the
Collection Account which will be used for an advance with respect to such
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will deposit in the Collection Account not
later than the Master Servicer Remittance Date immediately preceding the
related Distribution Date an amount equal to such deficiency, net of the
Servicing Fee and the Master 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
related Servicer is required to do so under its Servicing Agreement. If
applicable, on the Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall
present an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee (i) stating that the Master
Servicer elects not to make a Advance in a stated amount and (ii) detailing the
reason it deems the advance to be Nonrecoverable.

     SECTION 5.06. Compensating Interest Payments.

     The amount of the Master Servicing Fee payable to the Master Servicer in
respect of any Distribution Date shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the
amount of any Compensating Interest Payment for such Distribution Date, but
only to the extent that Interest Shortfalls relating to such Distribution Date
are required to be paid but are not actually paid by the related Servicers on
the applicable Servicer Remittance Date. Such amount shall not be treated as
an Advance and shall not be reimbursable to the Master Servicer.

     SECTION 5.07. Termination Receipts.

     In the event of an early termination of a Yield Maintenance Agreement, (i)
any termination payment made by the Yield Maintenance Counterparty to the
Separate Interest Trust (“Termination Receipts”) will be deposited in a
segregated non-interest bearing account which shall be an Eligible Account
established by the Trustee (the “Termination Receipts Account”) and (ii) any
amounts received from a replacement counterparty (“Replacement Receipts”) will

108

 

be deposited in a segregated non-interest bearing account which shall be an
Eligible Account established by the Trustee (the “Replacement Receipts
Account”). The Trustee shall invest, or cause to be invested, funds held in
the Termination Receipts Account and the Replacement Receipts Account in time
deposits of the Trustee as permitted by clause (ii) of the definition of
Permitted Investments or as otherwise directed in writing by a majority of the
Certificateholders. All such investments must be payable on demand or mature
on a Distribution Date or such other
date as directed by the Certificateholders. All such Permitted
Investments will be made in the name of the Trustee of the Separate Interest
Trust (in its capacity as such) or its nominee. All income and gain realized
from any such investment shall be deposited in the Termination Receipts Account
or the Replacement Receipts Account, as applicable.

     Unless otherwise permitted by the Rating Agencies, the Trustee will
promptly, with the assistance and cooperation of the Depositor, use amounts on
deposit in the Termination Receipts Account, if necessary, to enter into
replacement Yield Maintenance Agreements which shall be executed and delivered
by the Trustee upon receipt of written confirmation from each Rating Agency
that such replacement Yield Maintenance Agreement(s) 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.

     Amounts on deposit in the Replacement Receipts Account shall be held for
the benefit of the related Yield Maintenance Counterparty and paid to such
Yield Maintenance Counterparty if the Separate Interest Trust is required to
make a payment to such Yield Maintenance Counterparty following an event of
default or termination event with respect to the Separate Interest Trust under
the related Yield Maintenance Agreement. Any amounts not so applied shall,
following the termination or expiration of such Yield Maintenance Agreement, be
paid to the Class A-X Certificates.

     SECTION 5.08. Available Funds Cap Reserve Fund. 

     (a) On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain in its
name, in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Class A-1, Class A-2,
Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-X Certificates and each Class of Subordinate
Certificates, an Available Funds Cap Reserve Fund, into which the Depositor
shall deposit $2,500. The Available Funds Cap Reserve Fund shall be an
Eligible Account, and funds on deposit therein shall be held separate and apart
from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys, including, without
limitation, other moneys of the Trustee held pursuant to this Agreement. The
Available Funds Cap Reserve Fund shall not be an asset of any REMIC established
hereby.

     (b) On each Distribution Date, Monthly Interest Distributable Amounts
that would otherwise be distributable with respect to the Class A-X
Certificates shall instead be deposited in the Available Funds Cap Reserve Fund
to the extent of the Required Reserve Fund Deposit.

     (c) On any Distribution Date for which an Available Funds Cap Shortfall
exists with respect to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3 or Class A-4
Certificates or any Class of Subordinate Certificates after giving effect to
payments made pursuant to Section 5.09 from the

109

 

Yield Maintenance Amount
Account, the Securities Administrator shall instruct the Trustee to withdraw
from the Available Funds Cap Reserve Fund, the amount on deposit therein
required to be distributed on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.01(i).

     (d) Funds in the Available Funds Cap Reserve Fund shall be invested in
Permitted Investments. Any earnings on amounts in the Available Funds Cap
Reserve Fund shall be for
the benefit of the Class A-X Certificateholders. The Class A-X
Certificates shall evidence ownership of the Available Funds Cap Reserve Fund
for federal income tax purposes and the Class A-X Certificateholders shall
direct the Trustee, in writing, as to investment of amounts on deposit therein.
The Class A-X Certificateholders shall be liable for any losses incurred on
such investments. In the absence of written instructions from a majority of
the Class A-X Certificateholders as to investment of funds on deposit in the
Available Funds Cap Reserve Fund, such funds shall be invested in money market
funds as described in clause (vi) of the definition of Permitted Investments in
Article I. For all Federal income tax purposes, amounts transferred by the
Upper Tier REMIC to the Available Funds Cap Reserve Fund shall be treated as
amounts distributed by the Upper Tier REMIC to the Class A-X
Certificateholders.

     (g) Upon termination of the Trust Fund, any amounts remaining in the
Available Funds Cap Reserve Fund shall be distributed to the Class A-X
Certificateholders.

     SECTION 5.09. Yield Maintenance Agreement Accounts.

     (a) The Trustee is hereby directed by the Depositor to execute and deliver
the Yield Maintenance Agreements on behalf of a trust, separate from the Trust,
for the benefit of the Certificateholders (referred to herein as a “Separate
Interest Trust”) in the forms presented to it by the Depositor and shall have
no responsibility for the contents, adequacy or sufficiency of the Yield
Maintenance Agreements, including, without limitation, the representations and
warranties contained therein. Each Holder of a Certificate is deemed, by
acceptance of such Certificate, to authorize the Trustee to execute and deliver
the Yield Maintenance Agreements.

     (b) The Trustee shall establish and maintain an account, for the benefit
of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, as a segregated non-interest bearing
trust account which shall be an Eligible Account (the “Yield Maintenance Amount
Account”). Pursuant to each Yield Maintenance Agreement, the Yield Maintenance
Counterparty shall have provided the Trustee and the Master Servicer with
notice of the Net Swap Payment, if any, to be made by the Separate Interest
Trust to the Yield Maintenance Counterparty or the Net Swap Amount or Cap
Amount, if any, to be paid by the Yield Maintenance Counterparty to the Trustee
for the account of the Separate Interest Trust pursuant to such Yield
Maintenance Agreement for each Distribution Date. Any Net Swap Amounts or Cap
Amounts received by the Trustee pursuant to the Yield Maintenance Agreements in
connection with each such Distribution Date shall be deposited into the Yield
Maintenance Amount Account. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee on behalf
of the Separate Interest Trust shall distribute amounts on deposit in the Yield
Maintenance Amount Account in the following order of priority:

110

 

	 	first, 	to the Holders of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3
and Class A-4 Certificates, an amount up to any
Available Funds Cap Shortfalls with respect to each such
Class for such Distribution Date, pro rata based on the
amount of the Available Funds Cap Shortfalls for each
such Class and such Distribution Date;
	 
	 	second, 	sequentially, to the Holders of the Class B-1, Class
B-2, Class B-3, Class B-4, Class B-5 and Class B-6
Certificates, in that order, an amount up to any Available
Funds Cap Shortfalls with respect to each such Class for
such Distribution Date; and
	 
	 	third, 	to the Holders of the Class A-X Certificates.

     (c) The Trustee shall establish and maintain an account, for the benefit
of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, as a segregated non-interest bearing
trust account which shall be an Eligible Account (the “Yield Maintenance
Payment Account”). Any Net Swap Payment or Additional Yield Maintenance
Payment to be made by the Separate Interest Trust to the Yield Maintenance
Counterparty pursuant to any Swap Agreement shall be paid into the Yield
Maintenance Payment Account as provided in clauses first and fifth of Section 5.01(a)
based on the information provided in the Distribution Date Statement. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee on behalf of the
Separate Interest Trust shall distribute amounts on deposit in the Yield
Maintenance Payment Account to the Yield Maintenance Counterparty as provided
in the Swap Agreements.

     (d) Upon termination of all of the Yield Maintenance Agreements and
payment of all amounts owed by the Yield Maintenance Counterparty thereunder,
following application by the Trustee of funds in the Yield Maintenance Amount
Account and the Yield Maintenance Payment Account on the next succeeding
Distribution Date to pay amounts owed pursuant to this Section and Section
5.01, the Trustee shall terminate the Yield Maintenance Amount Account, the
Yield Maintenance Payment Account and the Separate Interest Trust.

     SECTION 5.10. Recoveries.

     (a) The Class Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates
to which a Realized Loss has been allocated (including any such Class for which
the related Class Certificate Principal Balance has been reduced to zero), will
be increased, up to the amount of Recoveries for such Distribution Date as
follows:

     (i) first, to increase the Class Certificate Principal Balance of
each such Class of Senior Certificates pro rata, up to the amount of Net
Realized Losses for each such Class, and

     (ii) second, to increase the Class Certificate Principal Balance of
each such Class of Subordinate Certificates in order of seniority, up to
the amount of Net Realized Losses for each such Class.

111

 

     Any increase to the Class Certificate Principal Balance of a Class of
Certificates shall increase the Certificate Principal Balance of each
Certificate of the related Class pro rata in accordance with the applicable
Percentage Interest.

ARTICLE VI 

THE CERTIFICATES

     SECTION 6.01. The Certificates.

     The Certificates shall be substantially in the form annexed hereto as
Exhibit A through E. Each of the Certificates shall, on original issue, be
executed, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee upon the written order of
the Depositor concurrently with the sale and assignment to the Trustee of the
Trust Fund. Each Class of the Regular 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 in
excess thereof, in the case of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4,
Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class B-3 Certificates, and $100,000 and integral
dollar multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, in the case of the Class A-X,
Class B-4, Class B-5 and Class B-6 Certificates, 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 Class Certificate Principal Balance or Class Certificate Notional
Balance of such Class on the Closing Date. The Class A-R Certificate is
issuable only in a Percentage Interest of 100%.

     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 6.02(c), the Senior
Certificates (other than the Residual Certificate) and the Class B-1, Class
B-2, Class B-3, Class B-4, Class B-5 and Class B-6 Certificates shall be
Book-Entry Certificates. The Residual Certificate shall be a Physical
Certificate.

     The Private Certificates shall be offered and sold in reliance on the
exemption from registration under Rule 144A of the 1933 Act and shall be issued
initially in the form of one or more permanent global Certificates in
definitive, fully registered form with the applicable legends set forth in
Exhibit A (each, a “Restricted Global Security”), which shall be deposited on
behalf of the subscribers for such Certificates represented thereby with the
Trustee, as

112

 

custodian for DTC and registered in the name of a nominee of DTC,
duly executed and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The
aggregate principal amounts of the Restricted Global Securities may from time
to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the
Trustee and DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as hereinafter provided.

     SECTION 6.02. 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 (or, so long as the Trustee serves as
Certificate Registrar, the office of the Trustee’s agent located at DTC
Transfer Agent Services, 55 Water Street, Jeanette Park Entrance, New York, New
York, 10044, or such other office or agency that the Trustee shall designate),
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.

     (b) Except as provided in paragraph (c) or (d) 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 or the Certificate Registrar 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

113

 

Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar 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, the Certificate Registrar and their respective
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 and
continuation of an Event of Default, Holders of Book-Entry Certificates having
not less than 51% of the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the
Certificates advise the Trustee and the Depository in writing through the
Depository Participants that the continuation of a book-entry system with
respect to Certificates through the Depository (or its successor) is no longer
in the best interests of the Holders, then the Trustee shall request that the
Depository notify all Holders of the occurrence of any such event and of the
availability of definitive, fully registered Certificates to Holders requesting
the same. 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 execute on behalf of the
Trust and authenticate definitive, fully registered certificates (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, 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 Private
Certificate shall be made unless such disposition is exempt from the
registration requirements of the 1933 Act, and any applicable state securities
laws or is made in accordance with the 1933 Act and laws. Any Private
Certificates sold to an “accredited investor” under Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or
(7) under the 1933 Act shall be issued only in the form of one or more
Definitive Certificates and the records of the Trustee and DTC or its nominee
shall be adjusted to reflect the transfer of such Definitive Certificates. In
the event of any transfer of any Private Certificate in the form of a

Definitive Certificate, the transferee shall certify (i) (A) such transfer is
made to a Qualified Institutional Buyer in reliance upon Rule 144A (as
evidenced by the investment letter delivered to the Trustee, in substantially
the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-2) under the 1933 Act, or (B) such
transfer is made to an “accredited investor” under Rule 501(c)(1), (2), (3) or
(7) under the 1933 Act (as evidenced by an investment letter delivered to the
Trustee, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-1, and, if so
required by the Trustee and the Depositor, 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 is
delivered 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 and the transferee to execute an investment letter 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. Each Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to effect such
transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Seller 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, any transfer made to Thornburg or to another
Affiliate of Thornburg will not require any investment letter or Opinion of
Counsel specified above.

     In the case of a Private Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate, for
purposes of the preceding paragraph, the representations set forth in the
investment letter in clause (i) shall be deemed to have been made to the
Trustee by the transferee’s acceptance of such Private Certificate that is also
a Book-Entry Certificate (or the acceptance by a Certificate Owner of the
beneficial interest in such Certificate).

     Except for any transfer made to Thornburg or to another Affiliate of
Thornburg, no transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate in the form of a
Definitive Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee shall have received
either (i) a representation from the transferee of such Certificate, acceptable
to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Depositor
(such requirement is satisfied only by the Trustee’s receipt of a
representation letter from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit
I-1, J-1 or J-2, as applicable, hereto), to the effect that such transferee is
not an employee benefit plan subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan or
arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code, nor a person acting on behalf
of any such plan or arrangement nor using the assets of any such plan or
arrangement to effect such transfer or (ii) if the purchaser is an insurance
company, a representation that the purchaser is an insurance company which is
purchasing such Certificates with funds contained in an “insurance company
general account” (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited
Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”) and that the purchase and
holding of such Certificates are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60
or (iii) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, which Opinion of
Counsel shall not be an expense of either the Trustee or the Trust, addressed
to the Trustee, to the effect that the purchase and holding of such
ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is also a Physical Certificate will not
result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the

115

 

Trustee, the Master Servicer,
any Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Depositor to any obligation
in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement or to any
liability. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported
transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is also a Physical Certificate
to an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code
without the delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to
the Trustee as described above shall be void and of no effect.

     In the case of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is a Book-Entry
Certificate, for purposes of clauses (i) or (ii) of the first sentence of the
preceding paragraph, such representations shall be deemed to have been made to
the Trustee by the transferee’s acceptance of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate
that is also Book-Entry Certificate (or the acceptance by a Certificate Owner
of the beneficial interest in such Certificate).

     No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Auction Certificate or an
ERISA-Restricted Yield Maintenance Certificate prior to the Distribution Date
in June 2008 in the form of a Definitive Certificate shall be made unless the
Trustee shall have received either (i) a representation from the transferee of
such Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee and the Depositor (such requirement is satisfied only by the Trustee’s
receipt of a representation letter from the transferee substantially in the
form of Exhibits J-1 or J-2 hereto), to the effect that such transferee is not
acquiring such Certificate for, on behalf of, or with the assets of, an
employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement subject to Section 406 of
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or (ii) the acquisition and holding of such
Certificate are eligible for exemptive relief available under Prohibited
Transaction Class Exemptions (“PTCE”) 84-14, 90-1, 91-38, 95-60 or 96-23
or some other applicable exemption.

     In the case of an ERISA-Restricted Auction Certificate or an
ERISA-Restricted Yield Maintenance Certificate that is a Book-Entry
Certificate, for purposes of the first sentence of the preceding paragraph,
such representations shall be deemed to have been made to the Trustee by the
transferee’s acceptance of such Certificates that are also Book-Entry
Certificates (or the acceptance by a Certificate Owner of the beneficial
interest in such Certificates).

     To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited
to, ERISA), neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Registrar shall have any
liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any
ERISA-Restricted Certificate, ERISA-Restricted Auction Certificate or
ERISA-Restricted Yield Maintenance Certificate that is in fact not permitted by
this Section 6.02(d) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the
Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the
provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar in accordance with the foregoing
requirements. In addition, neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Registrar
shall be required to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with the
transfer restrictions with respect to any such Certificate in the form of a
Book-Entry Certificate, and neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Registrar
shall have any liability for transfers of such Book-Entry Certificates or any
interests therein made in violation of the restrictions on transfer described
in the Prospectus Supplement and this Agreement.

116

 

     Upon notice by the Auction Administrator to the Trustee that the Holder of
any Auction Certificate not held in book-entry form has failed to surrender
such Certificate for registration of transfer on the Auction Distribution Date,
the Trustee shall, upon request by the Auction Administrator, deem such
Certificate cancelled and issue, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the
transferee designated by the Auction Administrator, a new Certificate in a
denomination of like Class Certificate Principal Balance.

     (e) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in the
Class A-R 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
Class A-R Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee who acquires such
Ownership Interest in a Class A-R Certificate for its own account and not
in the capacity as trustee, nominee or agent for another Person and shall
promptly notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its
status as such a Permitted Transferee.

     (ii) No Ownership Interest in the Class A-R Certificate may be
registered on the Closing Date and no Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate may thereafter be transferred, and the Trustee shall not
register the Transfer of a Residual Certificate unless, in addition to
the certificates required to be delivered under subsection (d) above, the
Trustee shall have been furnished with an affidavit (“Transfer
Affidavit”) of the initial owner of the Class A-R Certificate or proposed
transferee of a Residual Certificate in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit L.

     (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 of a Transferor
Certificate in the form of Exhibit K hereto from the proposed transferor
to the effect that the transferor (a) has no knowledge the proposed
Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee acquiring an Ownership Interest
in such Class A-R Certificate for its own account and not in a capacity
as trustee, nominee, or agent for another Person, and (b) has not
undertaken the proposed transfer in whole or in part to impede the
assessment or collection of tax.

     (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 such 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

117

 

thereof retroactive to the
date of registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate. Neither
the Trustee nor the Certificate Registrar shall have any 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 a 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 such 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 last 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 such 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 Securities Administrator 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 and the Servicer, 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 either Rating
Agency to downgrade its ratings of the Certificates and (ii) an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such removal will not cause either REMIC created
hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC.

     (f) 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

118

 

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 cancelled by the Certificate Registrar and disposed of pursuant to its
standard procedures.

     SECTION 6.03. 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 6.04. Persons Deemed Owners.

     The Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent
and any agent of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent or
the Trustee 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 5.01 hereof and for all other
purposes whatsoever, and none of the Trust, the Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar, the Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.

     SECTION 6.05. Appointment of Paying Agent.

     (a) The Paying Agent shall make distributions to Certificateholders from
the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 5.01 hereof 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 4.03(d) hereof 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 incorporated 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

119

 

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.

     SECTION 6.06. Optional Purchase of Certificates. 

     (a) All but not less than all of the Certificates are subject to purchase
by TMI, at its option, on any Distribution Date on or after the Optional
Securities Purchase Date from the then Certificateholders thereof; provided,
however, that TMI may appoint a designee to purchase the Residual Certificate.
The purchase price for each Certificate (other than a Residual Certificate)
shall be equal to the sum of (i) the Certificate Principal Balance of
such Certificate and (ii) any accrued but unpaid interest thereon at the
applicable Pass-Through Rate with respect thereto for such Distribution Date.
The purchase price for the Class A-R Certificate shall be $1.00. In
order to exercise the Optional Securities Purchase Right, TMI must, no later
than the eighth Business Day prior to the applicable Distribution Date, deliver
to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator (with copies to the Rating
Agencies and the Master Servicer) written notice, in the form of Exhibit O
hereto, of its intent to purchase the Certificates (other than the Private
Certificates) and of the Distribution Date on which it intends to do so and the
Securities Administrator will verify in writing to TMI and the Trustee the cash
amount required of TMI to effect such purchase no later than the third Business
Day prior to the Distribution Date on which such purchase is scheduled to
occur. The Trustee shall furnish notice of the exercise of the Optional
Securities Purchase Right to the applicable Certificateholders in compliance
with Section 6.06(c). On the Distribution Date on which the Optional
Securities Purchase Right will be exercised, TMI shall deposit the appropriate
amount in cash with the Trustee. Such amount shall be deposited by the Trustee
into a separate sub-account of the Distribution Account (the “Purchase
Account”). Such amounts shall be paid by the Trustee to Holders of the
applicable Certificates as provided in Section 6.06(d).

     (b) In the case of an exercise of the Optional Securities Purchase Right,
TMI shall be solely responsible for the costs and expenses of the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer.

     (c) Notice of exercise of the Optional Securities Purchase Right under
Section 6.06(a) shall be given by the Trustee by facsimile or by first-class
mail, postage prepaid, transmitted or mailed not less than five Business Days
prior to the applicable Distribution Date, to the Holder of the Class A-R
Certificate as of the close of business on the Record Date preceding such
Distribution Date and to each Holder of a Certificate (other than a Residual
Certificate) as of a

120

 

date not more than one Business Day preceding the mailing
of such notice, at such Holder’s address appearing in the Certificate Register.

     All such notices shall state:

     (i) the Distribution Date upon which the Certificateholders will
receive payment in full on the applicable Certificates;

     (ii) the amount the applicable Certificateholders will be paid,
separately stating amounts in respect of principal and interest;

     (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution
Date is not applicable and that payments shall be made only upon
presentation and surrender of the respective Certificates and the place
where such Certificates are to be surrendered for payment; and

     (iv) that interest on the respective Certificates shall cease to
accrue for the benefit of the then Certificateholders on such
Distribution Date and no interest shall accrue on the price paid for such
Certificates.

     The foregoing notice shall be given by the Trustee in the name and at the
expense of TMI. Failure to give notice of such purchase, or any defect
therein, to any Holder of any Certificate shall not impair or affect the
validity of the purchase of any other Certificate.

     (d) The Certificates shall, following notice as required by Section
6.06(c), be purchased on the applicable Distribution Date by TMI at the price
specified in Section 6.06(a) from funds in the Purchase Account, and (unless
TMI shall default in the payment of such amount) no interest shall accrue on
such amount for any period after the date to which accrued interest is
calculated for purposes of calculating such amount.

     (e) Subsequent to the purchase of the Certificates following exercise of
the Optional Securities Purchase Right, TMI shall be the sole Holder of the
Offered Certificates (other than the Residual Certificates) and it shall either
be the sole Holder of the Class A-R Certificate or may designate a Person which
meets the requirements of this Agreement to become the Holder thereof. TMI may
subsequently transfer some or all of the Certificates acquired by it in
accordance with the provisions hereof. All Certificates issued to the
Certificateholders prior to exercise of the Optional Securities Purchase Right
shall be deemed cancelled.

121

 

ARTICLE VII 

DEFAULT

     SECTION 7.01. Event of Default. 

     (a) If any one of the following events (each, an “Event of Default”) shall
occur and be continuing:

     (i) the failure by the Master Servicer to make any Advance or to
deposit in the Collection Account or Distribution Account any deposit
required to be made under the terms of this Agreement, and such failure
continues unremedied for a period of three Business Days after the date
upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be
remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer; or

     (ii) the failure by the Master Servicer duly to observe or perform,
in any material respect, any other covenants, obligations or agreements
of the Master Servicer as set forth in this Agreement, which failure
continues unremedied for a period of 60 days (or, in the case of a breach
of its obligation to provide a Master Servicer Certification pursuant to
Section 3.18, 30 days), in each case after the date (A) on which written
notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have
been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or to the Master
Servicer and the Trustee by Holders of Certificates evidencing at least
25% of the Voting Rights or (B) on which a Servicing Officer of the
Master Servicer has actual knowledge of such failure; or

     (iii) the entry against the Master 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 Master 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
Master 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 Master Servicer and such decree or order
shall have remained in force undischarged, unbonded or unstayed for a
period of 60 days; or the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its
inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition
to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or

122

 

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 an Event of Default
shall not have been remedied within the applicable grace period, the Trustee
shall, at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing
Voting Rights aggregating not less than 51%, or at its option may, with the
consent of Thornburg (not to be unreasonably withheld), by notice then given in
writing to the Master Servicer, terminate all of the rights and obligations of
the Master Servicer as servicer under this Agreement. Any such notice to the
Master Servicer shall also be given to each Rating Agency, the Depositor and
the Seller. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer (and by the Trustee
if such notice is given by the Holders) of such written notice, all authority
and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to
the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be
vested in the Trustee and the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or
otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish
all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of
such notice
of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of each
Mortgage Loan and related documents or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees to
cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities
and rights of the Master Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the
delivery to the Trustee of all documents and records requested by it to enable
it to assume the Master Servicer’s functions under this Agreement within ten
Business Days subsequent to such notice and the transfer within one Business
Day subsequent to such notice to the Trustee for the administration by it of
all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the Master Servicer and to
be deposited by it in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, any REO
Account or any Servicing Account or that have been deposited by the Master
Servicer in such accounts or thereafter received by the Master Servicer with
respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property received by the Master
Servicer. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees)
incurred in connection with transferring the Master Servicer’s duties and the
Mortgage Files to the successor Master Servicer and amending this Agreement to
reflect such succession as Master Servicer pursuant to this Section shall be
paid by the predecessor Master Servicer (or if the predecessor Master Servicer
is the Trustee, the initial Master Servicer) upon presentation of reasonable
documentation of such costs and expenses. The termination of the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer shall not affect any liability it may have
incurred prior to such termination.

     (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default described in
clause (i) of Section 7.01(a) shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice in
writing to the Master Servicer, which may be delivered by telecopy, immediately
suspend all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer thereafter
arising under this Agreement, but without prejudice to any rights it may have
as a Certificateholder or to reimbursement of outstanding Advances or other
amounts for which the Master Servicer was entitled to reimbursement as of the
date of termination, and the Trustee shall act as provided in Section 7.02 to
carry out the duties of the Master Servicer, including the obligation to make
any Advance the nonpayment of which was an Event of Default described in clause
(i) of Section 7.01(a). Any such action taken by the Trustee must be prior to
the distribution on the relevant Distribution Date. If the Master Servicer
shall within two

123

 

Business Days following such suspension remit to the Trustee
the amount of any Advance the nonpayment of which by the Master Servicer was an
Event of Default described in clause (i) of Section 7.01(a), the Trustee,
subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, shall permit the Master
Servicer to resume its rights and obligations as Master Servicer hereunder.
The Master Servicer agrees that it will reimburse the Trustee for actual,
necessary and reasonable costs incurred by the Trustee because of action taken
pursuant to this subsection. The Master Servicer agrees that if an Event of
Default as described in clause (i) of Section 7.01(a) shall occur more than two
times in any 12 month period, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to
permit the Master Servicer to resume its rights and obligations as Master
Servicer hereunder.

     SECTION 7.02. Trustee to Act.

     (a) From and after the date the Master Servicer (and the Trustee, if
notice is sent by the Holders) receives a notice of termination pursuant to
Section 7.01, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Master
Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the transactions
set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the
responsibilities,
duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by
the terms and provisions hereof arising on and after its succession. As
compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation as
the Master 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 successor Master 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 $15,000,000 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; provided, that the appointment of
any such successor Master Servicer shall not result in the qualification,
reduction or withdrawal of the ratings assigned to the Certificates by each
Rating Agency as evidenced by a letter to such effect from each Rating Agency.
Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, unless the
Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, 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 Mortgage Loans in an amount equal to the compensation which the
Master Servicer would otherwise have received pursuant to Section 3.18. The
appointment of a successor Master Servicer shall not affect any liability of
the predecessor Master Servicer which may have arisen under this Agreement
prior to its termination as Master Servicer to pay any deductible under an
insurance policy pursuant to Section 3.14 or to indemnify the Trustee pursuant
to Section 8.05), nor shall any successor Master Servicer be liable for any
acts or omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer or for any breach by such
Master 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. In the event that the Trustee shall not
succeed to the duties of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 hereof,
Thornburg shall have the right, but not the obligation, to be appointed
successor master servicer hereunder.

124

 

     (b) Any successor, including the Trustee, to the Master Servicer as Master
Servicer shall during the term of its service as Master 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 Master
Servicer hereunder and a Fidelity Bond in respect of its officers, employees
and agents to the same extent as the Master Servicer is so required pursuant to
Section 3.04.

     (c) Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, in no event
shall the Trustee be liable for any servicing fee or for any differential in
the amount of the servicing fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to
induce any successor Master Servicer to act as successor Master Servicer under
this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein.

     SECTION 7.03. Waiver of Event of Default.

     The Majority Certificateholders may, on behalf of all Certificateholders,
by notice in writing to the Trustee, direct the Trustee to waive any events
permitting removal of any Master Servicer under this Agreement, provided,
however, that the Majority Certificateholders may not
waive an event that results in a failure to make any required distribution
on a Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate. Upon
any waiver of an Event of Default, such event shall cease to exist and any
Event of 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 event 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 each Rating Agency.

     SECTION 7.04. Notification to Certificateholders.

     (a) Upon any termination or appointment of a successor to any Master
Servicer pursuant to this Article VII or Section 3.30, the Trustee shall give
prompt written notice thereof to the Certificateholders at their respective
addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and to 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
an Event of Default of which 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 Event of Default shall
have been waived or cured.

ARTICLE VIII 

THE TRUSTEE AND THE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR

     SECTION 8.01. Duties of Trustee and Securities Administrator.

     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. If an Event of Default
has occurred (which has not been cured or waived) of which a Responsible
Officer has actual 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, unless the Trustee is acting
as successor Master Servicer, in which case it shall use the same degree of
care and skill as the Master Servicer hereunder.

     The Trustee and the Securities Administrator, upon receipt of all
resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or
other instruments furnished to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator,
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 neither the Trustee nor
the Securities Administrator will 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 and the Securities Administrator shall take such action as it
deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected.

     On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall make monthly distributions to
the Available Funds Cap Reserve Fund and the Yield Maintenance Amount Account
and the final distribution to the Certificateholders from funds in the
Distribution Account, in each case as provided in Sections 5.01, 5.08, 5.09 and
10.01 herein based on the report of the Securities Administrator.

     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 of all such Events of Default which may have occurred, 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 such duties and obligations as are specifically set
forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be
read into this Agreement against the Trustee or the 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 may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
statements

126

 

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 for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee or an officer of the Securities Administrator,
respectively, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator, respectively, was negligent in ascertaining or
investigating the facts related thereto;

     (iii) neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be
personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted
to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the consent or at the
direction of Holders of Certificates as provided herein relating to the
time, method and place of conducting any remedy pursuant to this
Agreement, or exercising or omitting to exercise any trust or power
conferred upon the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively,
under this Agreement; and

     (iv) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Event of
Default 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 Event of Default.

     Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be required to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial or other 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 indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or
liability is not assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in
this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of,
any of the obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, except
during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be
vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Master Servicer
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

     SECTION 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator.

     Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01 hereof:

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

127

 

     (ii) the Trustee and the Securities Administrator may consult with
counsel and any advice of its counsel or 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 advice or Opinion of Counsel;

     (iii) neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be
under any 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 or the Securities Administrator, respectively, reasonable
security or indemnity satisfactory to it 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) neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be
personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good
faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or
rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;

     (v) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the
curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred, the
Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or
matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or
other paper or 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. If the
Master Servicer fails to reimburse the Trustee in respect of the
reasonable expense of every such examination relating to the Master
Servicer, the Trustee shall be reimbursed by the Trust Fund;

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

     (vii) the Trustee and the Securities Administrator may execute any
of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either
directly or by or through agents, nominees, attorneys or a custodian, and
shall not be responsible for any willful

128

 

misconduct or negligence on the
part of any agent, nominee, attorney or custodian appointed by the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator in good faith; and

     (viii) 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 answerable for other than its negligence or
willful misconduct in the performance of such act.

     SECTION 8.03. Trustee and the Securities Administrator Not Liable for Certificates, Mortgage Loans or Additional Collateral.

     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 Seller, and the neither Trustee nor the Securities
Administrator assumes responsibility for the correctness of the same. Neither
the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator makes representations or
warranties as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the
Certificates (other than the signature and countersignature of the Trustee on
the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan or related document or of MERS or the
MERS System. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application
by the Master Servicer, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the
Master Servicer in respect of related Mortgage Loans or deposited in or
withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Master Servicer. 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 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 the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 hereof); 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 the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 hereof); the compliance
by the Depositor or the Seller 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 the Master 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
the Master Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 hereof, and then only for the acts or
omissions of the Trustee as the successor Master Servicer), any Servicer or any
Mortgagor; any action of the Master Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall
assume the duties of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 hereof), or
any Servicer taken in the name of the Trustee; the failure of the Master
Servicer or any 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 the Master Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of
the Master Servicer pursuant

129

 

to Section 7.02 hereof, and then only for the
actions of the Trustee as the successor Master Servicer); 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, if so required pursuant to Section 2.01 of
this Agreement.

     SECTION 8.04. Trustee, Custodian, Delaware Trustee, Master Servicer
and Securities Administrator May Own Certificates.

     The Trustee, the Custodian, the Delaware Trustee, the Master Servicer and
the Securities Administrator in their respective individual capacities, or in
any capacity other than as Trustee, Custodian, Delaware Trustee, Master
Servicer or Securities Administrator hereunder, may become the owner or pledgee
of any Certificates with the same rights they would have if they were not
Trustee, Custodian, Delaware Trustee, Master Servicer or Securities
Administrator, as applicable, and may otherwise deal with the parties hereto.

     SECTION 8.05. Trustee’s, Delaware Trustee’s and Securities
Administrator’s Fees and Expenses.

     The Trustee, as compensation for all services rendered by the Trustee in
the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder, shall
be entitled to withdraw from the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date
an amount equal to the Trustee Fee for such Distribution Date. The Delaware
Trustee shall be compensated by the Trustee for its services hereunder. The
Securities Administrator shall be compensated by the Master Servicer for its
services hereunder from a portion of the Master Servicing Fee Rate. In
addition, the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee and the Securities Administrator
will be entitled to recover from the
Distribution Account pursuant to Section 4.05(a) all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances and the expenses of the
Trustee (including for such purpose, any fees and expenses relating to its
capacity as Custodian hereunder to the extent not paid by Thornburg), the
Delaware Trustee, and the Securities Administrator, respectively, including
without limitation, 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 Delaware Trustee, the Trustee or
the Securities Administrator, respectively, in the performance of its duties or
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 in the
case of the Delaware Trustee, gross negligence) or intentional misconduct or
which is specifically designated herein as the responsibility of the Depositor,
the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Certificateholders, the Delaware Trustee
or the Trust hereunder. If funds in the Distribution Account are insufficient
therefor, the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, the Custodian and the Securities
Administrator shall recover such expenses from future collections on the
Mortgage Loans or as otherwise agreed by the Certificateholders. 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.

130

 

     SECTION 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.

     The Trustee and Securities Administrator 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, each having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000 and a minimum long-term debt rating in the third highest rating
category by each Rating Agency and in each Rating Agency’s two highest
short-term rating categories, 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 or the
Securities Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 8.06, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator,
as applicable shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
specified in Section 8.07 hereof.

     SECTION 8.07. Resignation or Removal of Trustee and Securities
Administrator.

     The Trustee and Securities Administrator may at any time resign and be
discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to
the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer and each Rating Agency. Upon
receiving such notice of resignation of the Trustee, the Seller shall promptly
appoint a successor Trustee that meets the requirements in Section 8.06 or, in
the case of notice of resignation of the Securities Administrator, the Trustee
shall promptly
appoint a successor Securities Administrator that meets the requirements
in Section 8.06, in each case, by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of
which instrument shall be delivered to each of the resigning Trustee or
Securities Administrator, as applicable, and one copy to the successor Trustee
or successor Securities Administrator, as applicable. If no successor Trustee
or successor Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall have been so
appointed and having 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, as applicable.

     If at any time the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall cease to
be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof or if at
any time the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be legally unable to
act, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee
or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, or of its property shall be
appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or
the Securities Administrator, as applicable, or of its property or affairs for
the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Seller may
remove the Trustee or the Trustee may remove the Securities Administrator, as
applicable. If the Seller or the Trustee removes the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, respectively under the authority of the immediately preceding
sentence, the Seller or the Trustee shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee
or

131

 

successor Securities Administrator that meets the requirements of Section
8.06, as applicable, by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which
instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator,
as applicable, so removed, one copy to the successor Trustee or successor
Securities Administrator, as applicable, and one copy to the Master Servicer.

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

     Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator
and appointment of a successor Trustee or a successor Securities Administrator,
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall not become
effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee or a
successor Securities Administrator, as applicable, as provided in Section 8.08
hereof.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event
that the Master Servicer resigns or is removed as Master Servicer hereunder,
the Securities Administrator shall have the right to resign immediately as
Securities Administrator by giving written notice to the Seller and the
Trustee, with a copy to each Rating Agency.

     SECTION 8.08. Successor Trustee and Successor Securities
Administrator.

     Any successor Trustee or successor Securities Administrator appointed as
provided in Section 8.07 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Depositor, the Seller and the Master Servicer and to its predecessor Trustee or
Securities Administrator 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 successor 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
(including, without limitation, with respect to such a successor Trustee, its
rights, powers, duties and obligations as Auction Administrator under the
Auction Administration Agreement), with like effect as if originally named as
Trustee or Securities Administrator. The Depositor, the Seller, the Master
Servicer and the predecessor Trustee or Securities Administrator 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 or Securities Administrator, as applicable, all such rights, powers,
duties and obligations.

     No successor Trustee or Securities Administrator shall accept appointment
as provided in this Section 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such
successor Trustee or Securities Administrator shall be eligible under the
provisions of Section 8.06 hereof and the appointment of such successor Trustee
or Securities Administrator shall not result in a downgrading of the Senior
Certificates by either Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating
Agency.

132

 

     Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee or Securities
Administrator as provided in this Section 8.08, the successor Trustee or
Securities Administrator shall mail notice of the appointment of a successor
Trustee or Securities Administrator 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 or Securities
Administrator.

     Any entity into which the Trustee or the Securities Administrator 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 or
the Securities Administrator shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to the
business of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, shall be the successor
of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, hereunder,
provided such entity shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 and
8.08 hereof, 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, and in addition to
the appointment of the Delaware Trustee pursuant to Section 1A.03 hereof, 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
the Trustee shall, and shall instruct the Depositor to, 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 Master Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or
desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to
meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 hereof,
and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or
separate trustee shall be required under Section 8.08 hereof.

     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 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 or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall
be exercised and

133

 

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 Depositor and the Trustee, acting jointly 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 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.

     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 this 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 or the
Certificateholders in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

134

 

     (b) The Trustee shall afford the Seller, the Depositor and each
Certificateholder upon reasonable notice during normal business hours at its
Corporate Trust Office or other office designated by the Trustee, 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 and any requesting
Certificateholder with its most recent audited financial statements. The
Trustee shall cooperate fully with the Seller, the Depositor and such
Certificateholder and shall, subject to the first sentence of this Section
8.12(b), make available to the Seller, 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 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 an Event of Default or a default by the Depositor hereunder shall
occur and be continuing, the Trustee may proceed to protect and enforce its
rights and the rights of the Certificateholders under this Agreement, as the
case may be, 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 Custodians.

     The Trustee may appoint one or more custodians to hold all or a portion of
the related Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee, by entering into a
custodial agreement. The custodian may at any time be terminated and a
substitute custodian appointed therefor by the Trustee. Subject to this
Article VIII, the Trustee agrees to comply with the terms of each custodial
agreement and to enforce the terms and provisions thereof against the custodian
for the benefit of

135

 

the Certificateholders having an interest in any Mortgage
File held by such custodian. Each custodian shall be a depository institution
or trust company subject to supervision by federal or state authority, shall
have combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000 and shall be
qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which it holds any Mortgage
File. The Seller shall pay from its own funds, without any right to
reimbursement, the fees, costs and expenses of each custodian (including the
costs of custodian’s counsel).

     SECTION 8.17. Auction Administration Agreement; Auction Swap
Agreement.

     (a) Concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, at the direction
of the Depositor, the Trustee, acting solely as an intermediary agent (the
“Auction Administrator”) for the Holders of the Auction Certificates and not as
Trustee or on behalf of the Trust, shall execute and deliver the Auction
Administration Agreement and the Auction Swap Agreement in the forms presented
by the Auction Swap Counterparty provided that the provisions of Section 1A.05
remain applicable to each Certificateholder. The Trustee shall have no duty to
review or otherwise determine the adequacy of the Auction Administration
Agreement or the Auction Swap Agreement.

     (b) Each Holder of an Auction Certificate is deemed, by acceptance of such
Certificate, (i) to authorize Deutsche Bank National Trust Company to execute
and deliver the Auction Administration Agreement and the Auction Swap Agreement
as their intermediary agent and (ii) to acknowledge and accept and agree to be
bound by the provisions of the Auction Administration Agreement and the Auction
Swap Agreement. Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Auction
Administrator, agrees not to consent to any amendments to the Auction
Administration Agreement or Auction Swap Agreement without the consent of
100% of the Auction Certificates.

ARTICLE IX 

REMIC ADMINISTRATION

     SECTION 9.01. REMIC Administration.

     (a) As set forth in the Preliminary Statement to this Agreement, four
REMIC elections shall be made by the Trustee. The Trustee shall sign and the
Securities Administrator shall file such elections 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 in each REMIC created hereunder and the related residual
interest shall be as designated in the Preliminary Statement. Following the
Closing Date, the Securities Administrator shall apply to the Internal Revenue
Service for an employer identification number for each REMIC created hereunder
by means of a Form SS-4 or other acceptable method and shall file a Form 8811
with the Internal Revenue Service.

136

 

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

     (c) Except as provided in subsection (d) of this Section 9.01, the Seller
shall pay any and all tax related expenses (not including taxes) of each REMIC
created hereunder, including but not limited to any professional fees or
expenses related to audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings with
respect to any such REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state
tax authorities, but only to the extent that (i) such expenses are ordinary or
routine expenses, including expenses of a routine audit but not expenses of
litigation (except as described in (ii)); or (ii) such expenses or liabilities
(including taxes and penalties) are attributable to the negligence or willful
misconduct of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator in fulfilling its
respective duties hereunder (including the Securities Administrator’s duties as
tax return preparer).

     (d) The Securities Administrator shall prepare and file, and the Trustee
shall sign all of the federal and state tax and information returns of each
REMIC created hereunder (collectively, the “Tax Returns”) as the direct
representative. The expenses of preparing and filing such Tax Returns shall be
borne by the Securities Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Securities Administrator shall have no obligation to prepare, file or otherwise
deal with partnership tax information or returns. In the event that
partnership tax information or returns are required by the Internal Revenue
Service, the Seller, at its own cost and expense, will prepare and file all
necessary returns. The Internal Revenue Service has issued OID regulations
under Sections 1271 to 1275 of the Code generally addressing the treatment of
debt instruments issued with original issue discount. Under those regulations,
debt issued to one Person generally is aggregated in determining if there is
OID. Because certain Classes of Regular Certificates are expected to be issued
to one Person (which intends to continue to hold the Regular Certificates
indefinitely and, in any case, for at least 30 days), the Securities
Administrator, on behalf of the Trust, intends to determine the existence and
amount of any OID as if those Classes of Regular Certificates were one debt
instrument.

     (e) The Securities Administrator shall perform on behalf of each REMIC
created hereunder all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the
responsibility of each 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 Securities Administrator, 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 the
Class A-R Certificate to any disqualified organization and (ii) to the
Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or
REMIC Provisions.

     (f) Each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator (to the extent
that the affairs of the REMICs are within such Person’s control and the scope
of its specific responsibilities under the Agreement) and the Holders of
Certificates shall take any action or cause any REMIC created hereunder to take
any action necessary to create or maintain the status of the REMIC created
hereunder as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as

137

 

necessary to create or maintain such status. None of the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator or the Holder a 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 result in an Adverse REMIC Event
unless the Trustee has 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 result in an Adverse REMIC Event. In addition, prior to taking any
action with respect to any REMIC created hereunder or the assets therein, or
causing any such REMIC to take any action which is not expressly permitted
under the terms of this Agreement, any Holder of the Class A-R Certificate will
consult with the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or their designees, in
writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event
to occur with respect to any such REMIC, and no such Person shall take any such
action or cause any REMIC created hereunder to take any such action as to which
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator has advised it in writing that an
Adverse REMIC Event could occur.

     (g) Each Holder of the Class A-R Certificate shall pay when due any and
all taxes imposed on any REMIC created hereunder by federal or state
governmental authorities. To the extent that such Trust taxes are not paid by
the Class A-R Certificateholder, the Trustee shall pay any remaining REMIC
taxes out of current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of
the Class A-R Certificate 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 such REMIC, as the case may be.

     (h) The Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator shall enter into
any arrangement by which any REMIC created hereunder will receive a fee or
other compensation for services.

     (k) The Securities Administrator shall treat the Available Funds Cap
Reserve Fund as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h) that is owned by the holders of the Class A-X
Certificates and that is not an asset of any REMIC. The Securities
Administrator shall treat the rights of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3,
Class A-4, Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3, Class B-4, Class B-5 and Class B-6
Certificateholders to receive distributions from the Available Funds Cap
Reserve Fund and the Separate Interest Trust to cover Available Funds Cap
Shortfalls and Unpaid Available Funds Cap Shortfalls as payments under a cap
contract written by the Class A-X Certificateholders in favor of the Class A-1,
Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3, Class B-4,
Class B5, and Class B-6 Certificateholders. Thus, the Class A-1, Class A-2,
Class A-3, Class A-4, Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3, Class B-4, Class B5, and
Class B-6 Certificates shall be treated as representing not

138

 

only ownership of
regular interests in a REMIC, but also ownership of an interest in an interest
rate cap contract. For purposes of determining the issue prices of the
Certificates, the interest rate cap contracts shall be assumed to have a zero
value unless and until required otherwise by an applicable taxing authority.

     (l) For federal income tax purposes, each Certificate Owner of Auction
Certificate shall be treated as a party to the Auction Swap Agreement which
shall represent contractual rights and obligations that are separate from the
regular interest related to such Auction Certificate. For purposes of
determining the issue prices of the Auction Certificates, it shall be assumed
that such separate rights and obligations have a zero value unless and until
required otherwise by the applicable taxing authority.

     (m) The
Separate Interest Trust shall be treated as a domestic eligible entity that is disregarded as an entity separate from the
beneficial owner of the Class A-X Certificates so long as there is only one such
beneficial owner; if there is more than one beneficial owner of the Class A-X
Certificates, the Separate Trust shall be treated as a partnership among the beneficial owners, provided, however, that for
federal income tax information reporting purposes, the beneficial owners shall
agree, by their purchase of a beneficial ownership interest in the Class A-X
Certificates, to have the partnership excluded from the provisions of subchapter
K of the Code pursuant to section 761 of the Code. The Securities
Administrator will not, therefore, file an IRS Form 1065 or provide schedules
K-1 to the beneficial owners of the Class A-X Certificates.

     SECTION 9.02. Prohibited Transactions and Activities.

     Neither the Depositor nor 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 the REMICs
created hereunder pursuant to Article X of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution
pursuant to Article II hereof or (v) a repurchase of Mortgage Loans as
contemplated hereunder, nor acquire any assets for any REMIC created hereunder,
nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Distribution Account for gain,
nor accept any contributions to any REMIC created hereunder 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 result in an Adverse REMIC
Event.

ARTICLE X 

TERMINATION

     SECTION 10.01. Termination.

     (a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Seller, the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Delaware
Trustee and the Trustee created hereby

139

 

(other than the obligation of the
Trustee to make certain payments to Certificateholders after the final
Distribution Date and the obligation of the Master Servicer 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 Class Certificate
Principal Balance of each Class of Certificates has been reduced to zero, (ii)
the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan, (iii) the
optional purchase of the Mortgage Loans as described in the following paragraph
and (iv) the Latest Possible Maturity Date.

     Thornburg (solely in its capacity as a Servicer of the Mortgage Loans)
may, at its option, terminate this Agreement on any Distribution Date on which
the aggregate of the Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans
as of the end of the immediately preceding Due Period is equal to or less than 10% of the Cut-Off Date
Aggregate Principal Balance, by purchasing, on such Distribution Date, all of
the outstanding Mortgage Loans and REO Properties at a price equal to the sum
of (i) the outstanding Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans (other
than in respect of REO Properties), (ii) the lesser of (x) the appraised value
of any REO Property as determined by the higher of two appraisals completed by
two independent appraisers selected by the Depositor at the expense of the
Depositor and (y) the Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan related to any
REO Property and (iii) in all cases, accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the
applicable Loan Rate through the end of the Due Period preceding the final
Distribution Date, plus unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances and any
unpaid Master Servicing Fees and Servicing Fees allocable to such Mortgage
Loans and REO Properties, plus all amounts, if any, then due and owing to the
Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the
Yield Maintenance Counterparty (including Net Swap Payments) under
this Agreement, other
than, with respect to the Yield Maintenance Counterparty, payments
resulting from (i) an early termination under the Yield
Maintenance Agreements occurring other than as a result of the
exercise of the option or (ii) a failure of the Yield Maintenance
Counterparty to consent to the assignment of the Yield Maintenance
Agreements to TMI or its designee (the “Termination Price”).

     (b) Notice of any termination pursuant to the second paragraph of Section
10.01(a), 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 Master Servicer by letter to the Certificateholders mailed not earlier
than the 10th day and not later than the 19th day of 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 hereof for such
Distribution Date.

140

 

     (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 account for the
benefit of such Certificateholders, and the Trustee shall give a second written
notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If
within nine months after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have
been surrendered for cancellation, the Master Servicer 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 Master Servicer for
payment.

     SECTION 10.02. Additional Termination Requirements.

     (a) In the event the purchase option provided in Section 10.01 is
exercised, the Trust shall be terminated in accordance with the following
additional requirements:

     (i) The Trustee shall sell any remaining assets of the Trust Fund
for cash and, within 90 days of such sale, shall distribute to (or credit
to the account of) the Certificateholders the proceeds of such sale
together with any cash on hand (less amounts retained to meet claims) in
complete liquidation of the Trust Fund, and each REMIC created hereunder;
and

     (ii) The Securities Administrator shall attach a statement to the
final federal income tax return for each REMIC created hereunder stating
that pursuant to Treasury Regulation §1.860F-1, the first day of the 90
day liquidation period for such REMIC was the date on which the Trustee
sold the assets of the Trust Fund and shall satisfy all
requirements of a qualified liquidation under Section 860F of the
Code and any regulations thereunder as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel
delivered to the Trustee obtained at the expense of the Seller.

     (b) By their acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby agree
to appoint the Trustee and the Securities Administration as their attorneys in
fact to undertake the foregoing steps.

ARTICLE XI 

DISPOSITION OF TRUST ASSETS

     SECTION 11.01. Disposition of Trust Assets.

     Neither the Trust, nor this Agreement, may be terminated or voided, or any
disposition of the assets of the Trustee effected, other than in accordance
with the terms hereof, except to the

141

 

extent that Holders representing no less
than the entire beneficial ownership interest of the Certificates have so
asserted.

ARTICLE XII 

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

     SECTION 12.01. Amendment.

     This Agreement may be amended from time to time by Seller, the Depositor,
the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Delaware Trustee and the
Trustee, and without the consent of the Certificateholders, but with the prior
written consent of the Yield Maintenance Counterparty (but only to the extent
such amendment materially and adversely affects the amounts, priority or timing
of payments under the Yield Maintenance Agreements), (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 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, or (iv)
to conform the terms hereof to the description thereof provided in the
Prospectus; provided, however, that any such action listed in clause (i)
through (iii) above shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of any Certificateholder, if evidenced by (i) written
notice to the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator, the Delaware Trustee 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 or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment shall not
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder, is permitted by the Agreement and all the conditions
precedent, if any have been complied with, delivered to the Master Servicer and
the Trustee.

     In addition, this Agreement may be amended from time to time by Seller,
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Delaware
Trustee and the Trustee with the prior written consent of the Yield Maintenance
Counterparty (but only to the extent such amendment materially and adversely
affects the amounts, priority or timing of payments under the Yield Maintenance
Agreements) and 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 that 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 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 each Rating Agency.

142

 

     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 (unless such
Person is the Trustee, in which case the Trustee shall be entitled to be
reimbursed for such expenses by the Trust pursuant to Section 8.05 hereof), to
the effect that such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on
any REMIC created hereunder pursuant to the REMIC Provisions or cause any REMIC
created hereunder 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, such amendment is permitted by this Agreement and all
conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with.

     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 the Seller (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 Master
Servicer and each Rating Agency.

     It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this
Section 12.01 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 12.01 Section that affects its rights, duties and immunities
under this Agreement or otherwise.

     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
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, such recordation to be effected by the Trustee
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 12.03. 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

143

 

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 12.03, each and every
Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be
given either at law or in equity.

     SECTION 12.04. Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

     This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of Delaware, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder
shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

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 Seller.
Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced

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 12.11.

     (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by the certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized
by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing
such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. 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.

     SECTION 12.12. Successors and Assigns.

     The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the

147

 

benefit of any Certificateholders as may be
deemed desirable by such Holders of the Class A-X Certificates, so long as (i)
as evidenced by one or more Opinions of Counsel addressed to the Trustee (at
the expense of such Holders), the execution and delivery of such derivative
transaction is permitted under this Agreement and the inclusion of such
derivative in the Trust will not be inconsistent with the ERISA provisions
contained herein or cause the Certificates (other than the Class A-R
Certificate) to fail to qualify for the Underwriter’s Exemption, (ii) a REMIC
Opinion (at the expense of such Holders) is delivered to the Trustee, (iii) an
Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee (at the expense of such Holders)
that the execution and delivery of such derivative transaction and
documentation as presented to the Trustee is permitted under this Agreement,
and (iv) each Rating Agency shall have confirmed in writing that the inclusion
of such derivative would not result in a downgrade of its then rating of any
Class of Certificates.

ARTICLE II.

SALE OF MORTGAGE LOANS; PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE

     Section 2.01. Sale of Mortgage Loans; Assignment of the Servicing
Agreements. The Seller, concurrently with the execution and delivery of
this Agreement, does hereby sell, assign, set over, and otherwise convey to the
Purchaser, without recourse, all of its right, title and interest in, to and
under (i) each Mortgage Loan, including the related Cut-Off Date Principal
Balance, all interest due thereon after the Cut-Off Date and all collections in
respect of interest and principal due after the Cut-Off Date (and all principal
received before the Cut-Off Date to the extent such principal relates to a
Monthly Payment due after the Cut-Off Date); (ii) property which secured such
Mortgage Loan and which has been acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of
foreclosure; (iii) its interest in any insurance policies in respect of the
Mortgage Loans; (iv) any Additional Collateral with respect to the Mortgage
Loans; and (v) all proceeds of any of the foregoing.

            Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Seller
hereby assigns to the Purchaser all of its rights and interest (but none of its
obligations) under each Servicing Agreement, other than any servicing rights
retained pursuant to the provisions of such Servicing Agreements, to the extent
relating to the Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser hereby accepts such assignment,
and shall be entitled to exercise all such rights of the Seller under each
Servicing Agreement as if the Purchaser had been a party to each such
agreement.

     Section 2.02. Obligations of the Seller Upon Sale and Assignment.
In connection with the transfer pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, the Seller
further agrees, at its own expense, on or prior to the Closing Date, (a) to
indicate in its books and records that the Mortgage Loans have been sold to the
Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and (b) to deliver to the Purchaser and
the Trustee a computer file containing a true and complete list of all such
Mortgage Loans specifying for each such Mortgage Loan, as of the Cut-Off Date,
(i) its account number and (ii) the Cut-Off Date Principal Balance and such
file, which forms a part of Schedule A to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
shall also be marked as Schedule I to this Agreement and is hereby incorporated
into and made a part of this Agreement.

            In connection with such conveyance by the Seller, the Seller shall on
behalf of the Purchaser deliver to, and deposit with the Trustee, as assignee
of the Purchaser, on or before the Closing Date, the documents described in
Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement including, but not limited
to, the Servicing Agreements.

            The Seller hereby confirms to the Purchaser and the Trustee that it has
made the appropriate entries in its general accounting records, to indicate
that the Mortgage Loans have
been transferred to the Trustee, or a custodian appointed pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement to act on behalf of the Trustee, and that the
Mortgage Loans constitute part of the Trust in accordance with the terms of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

2

 

            The Purchaser hereby acknowledges its acceptance of all right, title and
interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and other property, and its rights
under the Servicing Agreements, now existing or hereafter created, conveyed to
it pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof.

            The parties hereto intend that the transaction set forth herein be a
non-recourse sale by the Seller to the Purchaser of all of the Seller’s right,
title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and other property
described in Section 2.01. Nonetheless, in the event the transaction set forth
herein is deemed not to be a sale, the Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a
security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and
under the Mortgage Loans and other property described in Section 2.01, whether
now existing or hereafter created, to secure all of the Seller’s obligations
hereunder; and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under
applicable law. The Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent
with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if
this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans,
such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of
first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout
the term of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

     Section 2.03. Payment of Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loans. In
consideration of the sale of the Mortgage Loans from the Seller to the
Purchaser on the Closing Date, the Purchaser agrees to pay to the Seller on the
Closing Date by transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to
$1,079,707,050.53 (which amount includes accrued interest) (the “Purchase
Price”). The Seller shall pay, and be billed directly for, the amounts set
forth in the Thornburg Securitization Engagement Letter dated October 18, 2001,
including all reasonable expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with
the issuance of the Certificates, including, without limitation, printing fees
incurred in connection with the Prospectus Supplement and the Memorandum
relating to the Certificates, fees and expenses of Purchaser’s counsel, fees of
the rating agencies requested to rate the Certificates, accountant’s fees and
expenses and the fees and expenses of the Trustee and other out-of-pocket
costs, if any.

that nothing in this Section 4.01 shall prevent or be deemed to prohibit the
Seller from suffering to exist upon any of the Mortgage Loans any Liens for
municipal or other local taxes and other governmental charges if such taxes or
governmental charges shall not at the time be due and payable or if the Seller
shall currently be contesting the validity thereof in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with
respect thereto.

notify the Purchaser and the Trustee if a claim is made under this provision.
The Seller shall assume the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in
connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay,
discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against the
Purchaser, the Trustee or any such person or entity in respect of such claim.

ARTICLE VI.

Servicing Agreement.

ARTICLE VII.

     Section 7.02. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without
reference to its conflict of law provisions (other than Section 5-1401 of the
General Obligations Law), and the obligations, rights and remedies of the
parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

	 	Attention: Legal Department

or such other address as may hereafter be furnished to Thornburg Mortgage Home
Loans, Inc. in writing by the Purchaser.

     Section 7.04. Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of
the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be held
invalid for any reason whatsoever, then such covenants, agreements, provisions
or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements,
provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity
of enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.

     Section 7.05. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one
or more counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate
counterparts, which may be transmitted by telecopier each of which, when so
executed, shall be deemed to be an original and such counterparts, together,
shall constitute one and the same agreement.

     Section 7.06. Further Agreements. The parties hereto each agree to
execute and deliver to the other such additional documents, instruments or
agreements as may be necessary or reasonable
and appropriate to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement or in
connection with the issuance of the Certificates representing interests in the
Trust Fund, including the Mortgage Loans.

            Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as a further inducement
for the Purchaser to purchase the Mortgage Loans from the Seller, the Seller
will cooperate with the Purchaser in connection with the sale of the
Certificates. In that connection, the Seller will provide to the Purchaser any
and all information and appropriate verification of information, whether
through letters of its auditors and counsel or otherwise, as the Purchaser
shall reasonably request and will provide to the Purchaser such additional
representations and warranties, covenants, opinions of counsel, letters from
auditors, and certificates of public officials or officers of the Seller as are
reasonably required in connection with the offering of the Certificates.

     Section 7.07. Intention of the Parties. It is the intention of the
parties that the Purchaser is purchasing, and the Seller is selling, the
Mortgage Loans rather than pledging such Mortgage Loans to secure a loan by the
Purchaser to the Seller. Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat
the transaction as a sale by the Seller, and a purchase by the Purchaser, of
the Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser will have the right to review the Mortgage
Loans and the related

7

 

Mortgage Files to determine the characteristics of the
Mortgage Loans which will affect the Federal income tax consequences of owning
the Mortgage Loans and the Seller will cooperate with all reasonable requests
made by the Purchaser in the course of such review.

     Section 7.08. Successors and Assigns: Assignment of Purchase
Agreement. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the Seller, the Purchaser and the Trustee. The obligations of
the Seller under this Agreement cannot be assigned or delegated to a third
party without the consent of the Purchaser which consent shall be at the
Purchaser’s sole discretion, except that the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees
that the Seller may assign its obligations hereunder to any Person into which
the Seller is merged or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion
or consolidation to which the Seller is a party or any Person succeeding to the
business of the Seller. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Purchaser is
acquiring the Mortgage Loans and the rights of the Seller under the Servicing
Agreements for the purpose of contributing them to a trust that will issue the
Certificates representing undivided interests in such Mortgage Loans. As an
inducement to the Purchaser to purchase the Mortgage Loans, the Seller
acknowledges and consents to the assignment by the Purchaser to the Trustee of
all of the Purchaser’s rights against the Seller pursuant to this Agreement
insofar as such rights relate to Mortgage Loans transferred to the Trustee and
to the enforcement or exercise of any right or remedy against the Seller
pursuant to this Agreement by the Trustee. Such enforcement of a right or
remedy by the Trustee shall have the same force and effect as if the right or
remedy had been enforced or exercised by the Purchaser directly.

     Section 7.09. Survival. The representations and warranties set
forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 and the provisions of Article V hereof shall
survive the purchase of the Mortgage Loans hereunder.

SCHEDULE III

SELLER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND

WARRANTIES RELATING TO

MORTGAGE LOANS

     The Seller hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the
Purchaser that, as to each Mortgage Loan, as of the Cut-off Date or such other
date specifically set forth herein, and with respect to representation (i)
listed below, as of the Closing Date:

	(i)	 	The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule is
complete, true and correct in all material respects and (b) the
Mortgage File with respect to each Mortgage Loan has been delivered
to the Trustee or its designee and each Mortgage File contains the
documents required to be contained therein.
	 
	(ii)	 	None of the Mortgage Loans (by Principal Balance) were more
than thirty (30) days delinquent. The Seller has not advanced funds
to, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds
from a party other than the owner of the Mortgaged Property subject
to the Mortgage, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any
amount required by the Mortgage Loan.
	 
	(iii)	 	To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, there are no
delinquent taxes, ground rents, water charges, sewer rents,
assessments, insurance premiums, leasehold payments, including
assessments payable in future installments or other outstanding
charges affecting the related Mortgaged Property.
	 
	(iv)	 	The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage (including
with respect to provisions relating to any Additional Collateral (if
applicable)) have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in
any respect, except by written instruments which have been recorded,
if necessary to protect the interests of the Trust, and which are
included in the Mortgage File, the substance of which waiver,
alteration or modification has been approved by the primary mortgage
guaranty insurer, if any, and by the title insurer, to the extent
required by the related policy and is reflected on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule. Except for any modification agreement or similar document
contained in the Mortgage File permitting a borrower to modify his
loan, no instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been
executed, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part,
except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the
primary mortgage insurer, if any, and title insurer, to the extent
required by the policy, and which assumption agreement is part of
the Mortgage File.
	 
	(v)	 	The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage (including with respect to
provisions relating to any Additional Collateral (if applicable))
are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or
defense, including the defense of usury, nor will the operation

III-1

 

	 	 	of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage, or the exercise
of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole
or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off,
counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and to the
Seller’s knowledge no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim
or defense has been asserted with respect thereto.
	 
	(vi)	 	All buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a
generally acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards of
extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the
area where the Mortgaged Property is located. All such insurance
policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Master
Servicer or the applicable Servicer, their successors and assigns as
mortgagee and to the Seller’s knowledge all premiums thereon have
been paid. If upon origination of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged
Property was in an area identified in the Federal Register by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards
(and such flood insurance has been made available) a flood insurance
policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the
Federal Insurance Administration is in effect which policy conforms
to the requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The Mortgage
obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at
Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do
so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance
at Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor
from the Mortgagor.
	 
	(vii)	 	None of the Mortgage Loans are loans (A) subject to 12 CFR
Part 226.31, 12 CFR Part 226.32 or 12 CFR Part 226.34 of Regulation
Z, the regulation implementing TILA, which implements the Home
Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994, as amended, (B)(w) a
“High-Cost Home Loan” as defined in the New Jersey Home Ownership
Act effective November 27, 2003, (x) a “High-Cost Home Loan” as
defined in the New Mexico Home Loan Protection Act effective January
1, 2004, (y) a “High Cost Loan” or “Covered Loan” (as such terms are
defined in the current S&P’s LEVELS® Glossary), or (z) governed by
the Georgia Fair Lending Act, if such Mortgage Loan was originated
on or after October 1, 2002 through May 6, 2003 or (C) classified
and/or defined as a “high cost” loan or “predatory,” “high cost,”
“threshold” or “covered” lending under any other state, federal or
local law. Each Mortgage Loan at the time it was made otherwise
complied in all material respects with any and all requirements of
any federal, state or local law including, but not limited to, all
predatory lending laws, usury, truth in lending, real estate
settlement procedures (including the Real Estate Settlement
Procedures Act of 1974, as amended), consumer credit protection,
equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to such
Mortgage Loan.
	 
	(viii)	 	The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled or subordinated, or
rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not
been released from the lien of the Mortgage except for a release
that does not materially impair the security of the Mortgage Loan or
is reflected in the loan-to-value ratio, in whole or in part, nor
has

III-2

 

	 	 	any instrument been executed that would effect any such release,
cancellation, subordination or rescission.
	 
	(ix)	 	The Mortgage is a valid, existing and enforceable first lien
on the Mortgaged Property, including all improvements on the
Mortgaged Property subject only to (A) the lien of current real
property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (B)
covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and
other matters of the public record as of the date of recording being
acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and
specifically referred to in a lender’s title insurance policy
delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and which do not
adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property, and
(C) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject
which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security
intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value
or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any security
agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and
delivered in connection with the Mortgage establishes and creates a
valid, existing and enforceable first lien and first priority
security interest on the property described therein and the Seller
has full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser.
	 
	(x)	 	The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and
each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker
thereof, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as the
enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, or
reorganization or other laws relating to the rights of creditors.
	 
	(xi)	 	All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal
capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver
the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, and the Mortgage Note and the
Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties.
	 
	(xii)	 	The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed,
there is no requirement for future advances thereunder and any and
all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site
improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor
have been complied with (except for escrow funds for exterior items
which could not be completed due to weather and escrow funds for the
completion of swimming pools); and all costs, fees and expenses
incurred in making, closing or recording the Mortgage Loan have been
paid, except recording fees with respect to Mortgages not recorded
as of the Closing Date.
	 
	(xiii)	 	The Seller has acquired its ownership of each Mortgage Loan in
good faith without notice of any adverse claim, and as of the
Closing Date, the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not assigned or
pledged, and immediately prior to the sale of the Mortgage Loan to
the Purchaser, the Seller was the sole owner thereof and with full
right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free
and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or
security interest and with full right and authority subject to no
interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to
sell and assign each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement.

III-3

 

	(xiv)	 	To the Seller’s best knowledge, the Seller or, if the
Mortgage Loan was not originated by the Seller, the originator is or
was (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such
interest, were) (A) in compliance with any and all applicable
licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the
Mortgaged Property is located, and (B) either (i) organized under
the laws of such state, or (ii) qualified to do business in such
state, or (iii) federal savings and loan associations or national
banks or subsidiaries having preemptive authority under federal law
or under applicable state law to engage in business in such state
without qualification, or (iv) not doing business in such state.
	 
	(xv)	 	The Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender’s title
insurance policy acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, issued by
a title insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and
qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged
Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained
in (ix)(A) through (C) above) the originator or the Seller, their
respective successors and assigns as to the first priority lien of
the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan.
Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively
insures ingress and egress, and against encroachments by or upon the
Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The Seller is the sole
insured of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s
title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in
full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such
lender’s title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the related
Mortgage, including the Seller, has done, by act or omission,
anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title
insurance policy.
	 
	(xvi)	 	There is no default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no
event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the
expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default,
breach, violation or event of acceleration, and the Seller has not
waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration.
	 
	(xvii)	 	To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, there are no mechanics’ or
similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or
material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give
rise to such lien) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which
are or may be liens prior to, or equal or on parity with, the lien
of the related Mortgage.
	 
	(xviii)	 	To the Seller’s best knowledge, all improvements which were
considered in determining the Appraised Value of the related
Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building
restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on
adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property.
	 
	(xix)	 	The Mortgage Loan was originated by the Seller or a
subsidiary of the Seller or was purchased by the Seller from a third
party, each of which was, at the time of origination, (A) a Fannie
Mae-approved or Freddie Mac-approved seller/servicer and

III-4

 

	 	 	(B) a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development approved
mortgage banker, or a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a
commercial bank or similar banking institution which is supervised and
examined by a federal or state authority. Each Mortgage Note has a
Loan Rate that adjusts periodically (not always in correlation to the
index calculation term), based on the One-Month LIBOR, Six-Month
LIBOR, One-Year LIBOR, One-Year CMT, Three-Year CMT, One-Year U.S.
Treasury or Three-Year U.S. Treasury (as each is defined in the
Prospectus Supplement) index, except that some Mortgage Loans first
adjust after an initial period of three, five, seven or ten years
following origination.
	 
	(xx)	 	The origination practices used by the Seller or the
originator of the Mortgage Loan and the collection practices used by
the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer with respect to each
Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been in all respects legal, proper,
prudent and customary in the mortgage origination and servicing
business. With respect to escrow deposits and escrow payments, if
any, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the
control of, the applicable Servicer and there exist no deficiencies
in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for
repayment thereof have not been made.
	 
	(xxi)	 	At the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan the
Mortgaged Property was free of damage and waste and there is no
proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation thereof.
	 
	(xxii)	 	The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as
to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for
the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of
the security provided thereby, including, (A) in the case of a
Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (B)
otherwise by judicial foreclosure. There is no other exemption
available to the Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to
sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to
foreclose the Mortgage.
	 
	(xxiii)	 	The Mortgage Loan was underwritten generally in accordance with
either (A) the Seller’s underwriting standards, (B) in the case of a
Mortgage Loan acquired from First Republic Bank, First Republic
Bank’s underwriting standards or (C) in the case of a Mortgage Loan
acquired from a bulk seller, the related bulk seller’s underwriting
standards, in each case as in effect at the time the Mortgage Loan
was originated.
	 
	(xxiv)	 	The mortgage file in possession of the related Servicer contains
an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property signed prior to the
approval of the Mortgage Loan application by a qualified appraiser,
duly appointed by the originator of the Mortgage Loan, who had no
interest, direct or indirect in the Mortgaged Property or in any
loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not
affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan.
	 
	(xxv)	 	In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a
trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has
been properly designated and currently so serves

III-5

 

	 	 	and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will
become payable by the Depositor to the trustee under the deed of
trust, except, in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by
the Mortgagor.
	 
	(xxvi)	 	No Mortgage Loan (A) contains provisions pursuant to which Monthly
Payments are paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any
separate account established by the Seller, the Mortgagor, or anyone
on behalf of the Mortgagor or paid by any source other than the
Mortgagor or (B) contains any provision permitting a temporary
“buydown” of the related Loan Rate. No Mortgage Loan was a
graduated payment mortgage loan as of the date of its origination.
No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation or other contingent
interest feature.
	 
	(xxvii)	 	No Mortgage Loan had a Loan-To-Value Ratio in excess of 100%.
The portion of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage Loan
which is in excess of 80% of the Loan-to-Value Ratio either (A) has
Additional Collateral or (B) is and will be insured as to payment
defaults under a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy issued by primary
mortgage insurer licensed to do business in the state in which the
Mortgaged Property is located and acceptable to Fannie Mae or
Freddie Mac as of the Closing Date, so as to reduce the Mortgagee’s
exposure in accordance with the standards of Fannie Mae or Freddie
Mac and applicable law. All provisions of such Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy have been and are being complied with; such policy
is valid and in full force and effect and all premiums due
thereunder have been paid.
	 
	(xxviii)	 	Except for any Additional Collateral Mortgage Loans, the
Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral,
pledged account, or other security except the lien of the Mortgage,
and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or
chattel mortgage referred to above.
	 
	(xxix)	 	[Reserved]
	 
	(xxx)	 	The Additional Collateral Mortgage Loans originated by
Cendant Credit Corporation are insured under the terms and
provisions of the Certificate Guaranty Surety Bond. The Certificate
Guaranty Surety Bond is in full force and effect with respect to
each such Additional Collateral Mortgage Loan subject to the
limitations set forth therein and such Certificate Guaranty Surety
Bond will be enforceable by the Purchaser with respect to each
Additional Collateral Mortgage Loan.
	 
	(xxxi)	 	The Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law.
All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or
issued with respect to all occupied portions of the related
Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the
same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy, had
been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities.
	 
	(xxxii)	 	No defense against coverage under any Primary Insurance Policy
(including, without limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses
which would limit or reduce the availability of the timely payment
of the full amount of the loss otherwise due

III-6

 

	 	 	thereunder to the insured) exists arising out of actions,
representations, errors, omissions, negligence, or fraud of the
Seller, and the Seller is not aware of any fact that could reasonably
lead the Seller to believe that any such defense exists arising out of
the actions, representations, errors, omissions, negligence or fraud
of the related Mortgagor or any party involved in the application for
such coverage.
	 
	(xxxiii)	 	Each Assignment is in recordable form, is acceptable for
recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged
Property is located and includes all applicable recording
information, except where the related original Mortgage has been
delivered for recording to the appropriate public recording office
but has not yet been returned to the Seller.
	 
	(xxxiv)	 	If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit or a planned unit
development (other than a de minimis planned unit development) such
condominium or planned unit development project meets Fannie Mae or
Freddie Mac eligibility requirements.
	 
	(xxxv)	 	Each Mortgage is a “qualified mortgage” for purposes of the REMIC
Provisions.
	 
	(xxxvi)	 	To the Seller’s best knowledge, no fraud was committed by the
