WHOLESALE ADVANTAGE SERVICES AGREEMENT

THIS WHOLESALE ADVANTAGE SERVICES AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is effective as of January 1, 2005 (“Effective Date”) by and among Verizon Services Corp., with offices at 1310 North Court House Rd., Arlington, VA  22201, on behalf of each of the affiliated Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers listed in Attachment 1 hereto (individually and collectively, “Verizon”), and  Cordia Communications Corp. (“Cordia”), with offices at 445 Hamilton Avenue, Suite 408, White Plains, New York 10601 (each individually, a “Party,” and collectively, the “Parties”).

WHEREAS, prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement, Verizon provided Cordia with platforms of unbundled network elements (“UNE-P”) pursuant to interconnection agreements governed by, inter alia, Sections 251 and 252 of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. Section 151 et seq.), as amended (the “Act”), which Cordia has used to provide dialtone Services to its end users; and  

WHEREAS, the Parties seek to replace Verizon’s provision of UNE-P to  Cordia with a long term commercial alternative;

WHEREAS, as part of such long term commercial alternative to UNE-P, Verizon is prepared to offer wholesale dialtone services to Cordia for a period of five years in the form of what is known as Verizon’s Wholesale Advantage service offering on terms that preserve, to the extent practicable, the features, functionality and ordering processes previously available to Cordia under Verizon’s UNE-P Services offerings, but at commercially reasonable rates and charges;   

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intended to be bound, hereby agree as follows:

1.

Services Description

Subject to the availability of necessary facilities, and as described more particularly in Attachment 2 hereto, the Services offered by Verizon under this Agreement (the “Services”) shall consist of local circuit switched dialtone services, comprised of DS0 loops and local circuit switching (including shared transport and SS7 signaling facilities used in conjunction with such switching), that provide all the features and functionalities of Verizon’s DS0 UNE-P services offerings previously made available to Cordia under its interconnection agreements with Verizon and through certain Verizon state tariffs.

2.

Scope of Agreement

2.1

During the Term of this Agreement Verizon shall provide the Services to Cordia upon receipt of a correct and complete order, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein.  In order to ensure the availability of ancillary services customarily used in connection with unbundled switching services, the Services provided herein shall be available to Cordia only if Cordia is and remains party to an effective interconnection agreement with Verizon in each jurisdiction in which it seeks to obtain such Services; provided, however, that this Agreement shall not be deemed to be an amendment to or otherwise a part of any such interconnection agreement, even where such interconnection agreements otherwise are referenced herein.  This Agreement is comprised of this principal document and Attachments 1 through 4, which are attached hereto and made an integral part hereof.

2.2

In consideration for Verizon’s provision of the Services and without the assessment of any conversion charges, Cordia shall convert all of its DS0 UNE-P lines in service with Verizon as of December 31, 2004 to the Services provided under this Agreement.  In the event Verizon should continue to offer or provide UNE-P services under the Act after the Effective Date, Cordia expressly waives any right it may have to purchase such UNE-P services from Verizon during the Term.    

3.

Rates and Charges

3.1

In order to facilitate a smooth transition from the UNE-P service arrangements previously available under Cordia’s  existing interconnection agreements and Verizon state tariffs to the Services provided hereunder, the rates and rate structures applicable to the Services shall make use of existing rates, rate structures, and billing conventions.  The use of such rates and rate structures herein is solely for the mutual convenience of the Parties, and such use is not intended to constitute, nor shall such use constitute an admission that the Services are subject to Section 251 or Section 252 of the Act or to the pricing methodologies applied thereunder.

3.2

In each Verizon Affiliate’s service area (listed in Attachment 1), the rate structure applicable to the Services shall be the same rate structure previously applicable to DS0 (or POTS) UNE-P services, except as otherwise provided in Attachment 3.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.3 and Section 3.4 below, Verizon shall bill and Cordia shall pay the rates and charges set forth in Attachment 3 to this Agreement as applied to each line in service under this Agreement.  

3.3

For each month (as measured on the last calendar day of that month) in which fewer than [REDACTED] percent [REDACTED] of the voice grade lines provided by Cordia to its Customers through products or services (including standalone loops) purchased from Verizon in all Verizon jurisdictions are in turn provisioned by means of the Services provided under this Agreement or through resale lines that Cordia has with Verizon (for avoidance of doubt, any references to resale lines in Sections 3.3 and 3.4 shall refer only to resale lines that provide the same services as those provided to Advantage lines under this Agreement (as described in Attachment 2) and shall not change the fact that resale lines will continue to be governed by an interconnection agreement between the parties or Verizon state tariff, and not by this Agreement), the charges billed to Cordia for the Services shall be calculated as follows:

(a)  During the first year of the Term, Verizon shall bill and Cordia shall pay the rates and charges set forth in Attachment 3 (including the specified Surcharge for the relevant contract year) as applied to each line actually in service under this Agreement during that month (the sum of such charges in a given month, the “Monthly Revenue Figure”).  If the Average Line Count for the applicable month is less than the Baseline Volume, Verizon shall bill and Cordia shall pay an additional charge, calculated by multiplying the difference between the Average Line Count and the Baseline Volume by the Monthly Average Charge.  As used herein, these terms shall have the following definitions:  (i) “Average Line Count” shall be calculated by adding the number of lines in service under this Agreement and the number of resale lines that Cordia has with Verizon on the last day of the applicable month to the number of lines in service under this Agreement and the number of resale lines that Cordia has with Verizon on the last day of the preceding month, and dividing such sum by 2; (ii) “Average Advantage Line Count” shall be calculated by adding the number of lines in service under this Agreement on the last day of the applicable month to the number of lines in service under this Agreement on the last day of the preceding month, and dividing such sum by 2; (iii) “Baseline Volume” shall be the total number of Cordia UNE-P and resale lines that were in service with Verizon in all jurisdictions as of [REDACTED], (which both parties agree is [REDACTED] lines), adjusted over the Term of the Agreement to subtract Cordia UNE-P and resale lines that were in service as of [REDACTED] and that are no longer subject to this Agreement because they were located in a Verizon operating territory (or portion thereof) sold or transferred by Verizon during the Term of the Agreement (with such adjustment applying to calculation of the Baseline Volume prospectively from the date on which Verizon terminated the Agreement as to the operating territory (or portion thereof) pursuant to Section 41.2 of this Agreement)and (iv) “Monthly Average Charge” shall be the billed amount that results from dividing the Monthly Revenue Figure by the Average Advantage Line Count. 

(b)  During each succeeding twelve (12) month period of the Term, for each month in which fewer than [REDACTED] percent [REDACTED] of the voice grade lines provided by Cordia to its Customers through products or services (including standalone loops) purchased from Verizon in all Verizon jurisdictions are in turn provisioned by means of the Services provided under this Agreement and resale lines, Verizon shall bill and Cordia shall pay the Monthly Revenue Figure for the relevant month and contract year.  If the Average Line Count for the applicable month is less than the Baseline Volume, as increased for each succeeding twelve (12) month period by the Multiplier (defined below), Verizon shall bill and Cordia shall pay to Verizon an additional charge calculated by multiplying the difference between the Volume Commitment and the Average Line Count by the Monthly Average Charge for the month in question.  For purposes of this Section 3.3, the Multiplier shall be [REDACTED].  (Each such annual increase in the Baseline Volume shall be referred to herein as the “Volume Commitment.”)  

3.4

For each month (as measured on the last calendar day of that month) of the Term in which [REDACTED] percent [REDACTED] or more of the voice grade lines provided by Cordia to its Customers through products or services (including standalone loops) purchased from Verizon in all Verizon jurisdictions are in turn provisioned by means of the Services provided under this Agreement and resale lines, Verizon shall bill and Cordia shall pay no less than an amount equal to the Monthly Revenue Figure for the relevant month and contract year.   If the Average Line Count is less than [REDACTED] percent [REDACTED] of the Baseline Volume, Verizon shall bill and Cordia shall pay an additional charge, calculated by multiplying the difference between the Average Line Count and [REDACTED] percent [REDACTED] of the Baseline Volume by the Monthly Average Charge (or for any month not in the first year of the Term, by the Year 1 Monthly Average Charge);  provided, however, that this Section 3.4 shall cease to apply at such time as the cumulative sum of the number of Wholesale Advantage and resale lines in service on the last calendar day of each month of the Term equals or exceeds [REDACTED] of the Baseline Volume.  As used herein, the “Year 1 Monthly Average Charge” shall be calculated by adding up the Monthly Revenue Figures for each of the twelve months of the first year of the Term, and dividing by the sum of the Average Advantage Line Counts for each of the twelve months of the first year of the Term.

3.5

For each twelve month anniversary date on which the total of actual lines in service under this Agreement and resale lines meet or exceed the Volume Commitment described in Section 3.3(b) above (beginning January 1, 2006), Verizon shall issue to Cordia a volume bonus credit equal to the figure derived by multiplying [REDACTED] times the number of Cordia UNE-P lines that were in service with Verizon in all jurisdictions as of November 30, 2004 (which both Parties agree was [REDACTED] lines) and that were converted into coverage under this Agreement (with such number of UNE-P lines adjusted over the Term of the Agreement to subtract Cordia UNE-P lines that were in service as of November 30, 2004 that are no longer subject to this Agreement because they were located in a Verizon operating territory (or portion thereof) sold or transferred by Verizon during the Term of the Agreement, with such adjustment applying prospectively from the date on which Verizon terminated the Agreement as to the operating territory (or portion thereof) pursuant to Section 41.2 of this Agreement).

This Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Date, and unless cancelled or terminated earlier in accordance with the terms hereof, shall continue in effect until December 31, 2009 (the “Term”).  The Term of this Agreement may not be extended except by the written agreement of both Parties.  Unless covered by any successor commercial agreement that the Parties may have entered into within their own discretion, any arrangements covered by this Agreement that Cordia has not disconnected as of the termination date of this Agreement shall be billed by Verizon and paid by Cordia at Verizon’s then-prevailing resale rates in the applicable state until Cordia disconnects the arrangements.

8.

Applicable Law

8.1

The construction, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by (a) the laws of the United States of America and (b) the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflicts of laws rules.  All disputes relating to this Agreement shall be resolved through the application of such laws. Verizon and Cordia each irrevocably consents to the personal and subject matter jurisdiction of the courts located in the Borough of Manhattan, State of New York to the extent necessary to give effect to or to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, and waives any defense of lack of jurisdiction, improper venue or inconvenient forum.

9.

Assignment

No Party may assign this Agreement or any right or interest under this Agreement, assign or delegate any obligation under this Agreement, or assign or transfer any service arrangement obtained under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, which such consent may be withheld, by way of example and not by limitation, if the assignor fails to pay in full all invoices, past due and current, disputed and undisputed, under this Agreement.  Any attempted assignment, delegation or transfer in violation of this Section 9 shall be void and ineffective and constitute a material breach of this Agreement.  In the event a Party receives the written consent of the other Party to an assignment, transfer or delegation, the assignee shall provide evidence that it has received state commission approved certification to provide local exchange or common carrier services in each state in which Cordia is providing service at the time of such assignment, transfer or delegation.  No assignment, transfer or delegation hereof shall relieve the assignor of its obligations under this Agreement in the event that the assignee fails to perform such obligations.  

10.

Assurance of Payment

10.1

At any time and from time to time based on the conditions set forth in this Section 10, Verizon may request, and Cordia shall provide to Verizon, adequate assurance of payment of amounts due and payable (or to become due and payable) to Verizon hereunder.

10.2

Verizon may request, and Cordia shall provide, assurance of payment of charges if Cordia (a) prior to the Effective Date, has failed to timely pay undisputed charges set forth in an Invoice (as such term is defined in Section 13) rendered to Cordia by Verizon or its Affiliates, (b) on or after the Effective Date, fails to timely pay an Invoice rendered to Cordia by Verizon or its Affiliates, (c) on or after the Effective Date is unable to demonstrate that it is creditworthy to Verizon’s reasonable satisfaction, or (d) is unable to pay its debts as such debts become due and payable, has commenced a voluntary case (or has had a case commenced against it) under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any other law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, winding-up, composition or adjustment of debts or the like, has made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or is subject to a receivership or similar proceeding.

10.3

Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, the assurance of payment shall consist of an unconditional, irrevocable standby letter of credit naming Verizon as the beneficiary thereof and otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to Verizon from a financial institution acceptable to Verizon in its sole discretion.  Such letter of credit shall be in an amount equal to  two (2) months anticipated charges (including both recurring and non-recurring charges), as reasonably determined by Verizon, for the Services to be provided by Verizon to Cordia in connection with this Agreement.  If Cordia meets the condition in subsection 10.2(d) above or has failed to timely pay undisputed charges in two or more Invoices rendered by Verizon or a Verizon Affiliate in any twelve (12)-month period, Verizon may, in its sole discretion, demand (and Cordia shall provide) additional assurance of payment, consisting of monthly advanced payments of estimated charges as reasonably determined by Verizon, with appropriate true-up against actual invoiced charges no more frequently than once per calendar quarter.

10.4

Verizon may (but shall not be obligated to) draw upon the letter of credit upon notice to Cordia in respect of any amounts to be paid by Cordia hereunder that are not paid within thirty (30) days of the date that payment of such amounts is required by this Agreement.

10.5

If Verizon draws upon the letter of credit, upon request by Verizon, Cordia shall provide a replacement or supplemental letter of credit conforming to the requirements of Section 10.3.

10.6

Should Cordia fail to provide assurance of payment as required by this Section 10, such failure shall constitute an act of material breach.  Without limiting any other rights or remedies to which Verizon may be entitled as a result of such material breach, Verizon shall have no obligation to perform under this Agreement until such time as Cordia has provided Verizon with the required assurance of payment.

10.7

The fact that a letter of credit is requested by Verizon hereunder shall in no way relieve Cordia from its obligation to comply with the requirements of this Agreement as to advance payments and payment for the Services, nor shall such request constitute a waiver or modification of the terms herein pertaining to the discontinuance of the Services for nonpayment of any amounts payment of which is required by this Agreement.

11.

Authorization

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Verizon shall have no obligation to perform under this Agreement until such time as Cordia has obtained such Federal Communication Commission (“FCC”) and state utility commission authorizations as may be required by Applicable Law for conducting business in the states where Cordia intends to purchase the Services.  Cordia shall provide proof of such authorization to Verizon upon request.

12.

Ordering and Repair Processes

Cordia shall order Services from Verizon using the same ordering processes and systems interfaces previously used in connection with UNE-P service arrangements and associated features for purposes of pre-order, order, maintenance and repair functions.  If Verizon should change such processes as provided to UNE-P or other UNE customers, such changed processes shall apply to Cordia; provided, however, that any such changes affecting Operations Support Systems (“OSS”) interfaces shall be communicated in advance and shall provide Cordia an opportunity to comment on the changes in advance of their implementation.  Cordia shall use Verizon’s electronic operations support system access platforms to submit orders (e.g., LSRs) for provisioning, maintenance and repair of the Services.  If Verizon has not yet deployed an electronic capability for Cordia to perform a provisioning, maintenance or repair transaction offered by Verizon, Cordia shall use such other processes as Verizon has made available for performing such transaction.  

13.

Invoices and Payment; Disputed Amounts

13.1

Verizon shall submit to Cordia on a monthly basis a statement(s) of charges incurred by Cordia under this Agreement in itemized form (an “Invoice”).  The Invoice shall be transmitted electronically by Verizon in an industry standard format, and Cordia shall have the capability to receive the Invoice electronically.  Under no circumstances shall Verizon be obligated to provide paper  invoicing.  All Invoices shall be transmitted to the location designated by Cordia.  Cordia must notify Verizon of any change in the location to which such Invoices are to be transmitted within five (5) business days of such change in location.  Verizon shall update its records to reflect Cordia’s change in location within ten (10) business days of submission by Cordia. 

13.2

Cordia shall pay all amounts due and payable under this Agreement in immediately available U.S. funds, on or before the later of the following dates (the “Due Date”):  (a) the due date specified in the Invoice; or (b) twenty (20) days after the date the  electronic bill is received by Cordia (as evidenced by the electronic transmission records).  Payments shall be transmitted by electronic funds transfer (EDI, ACH or Wire).

13.3

If any portion of an amount invoiced to Cordia under this Agreement is subject to a good faith dispute between the Parties, Cordia shall give written notice to Verizon of the amounts it disputes (“Disputed Amounts”) through the Verizon claims submission process and include in such notice the specific details and reasons for disputing each item.  Cordia shall undertake a reasonable good faith effort to review an Invoice received by Verizon under this Agreement within ninety (90) days following the Due Date to determine whether there are any Disputed Amounts.  Cordia shall pay on or before the Due Date all undisputed amounts.  Billing disputes shall be subject to the terms of Section 18, Dispute Resolution.  

13.4

Verizon shall undertake a reasonable good faith effort to review Cordia’s disputes within thirty (30) days of the date of submission.  Should Verizon deny a dispute filed by Cordia, Cordia shall have ten (10) business days by which either to pay the Disputed Amounts or escalate the dispute to the Vice President level.  Where Verizon’s denial of the dispute has provided Cordia with a specific explanation for its denial of the dispute, Verizon may deny such escalation if Cordia does not provide new or additional detailed information supporting its claim.  

13.5

Should Disputed Amounts in any three (3) consecutive months exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of invoiced charges, then Cordia shall be required in each succeeding month to pay on or before the Due Date the greater of all undisputed charges or seventy-five percent (75%) of the total charges invoiced in that month, pending final resolution of the Disputed Amounts through the Dispute Resolution process; provided, however, that the seventy-five percent (75%) minimum payment requirement shall not apply to the extent that Cordia is participating in any pending legal or regulatory proceeding addressing the invoiced charges or class of charges that comprise the Disputed Amounts.  Any Disputed Amounts that are finally resolved in Cordia’s  favor that were overpaid to Verizon as a result of the foregoing seventy-five percent (75%) minimum payment requirement shall be refunded to Cordia by Verizon with applicable late payment charges.

13.6

Charges due to Verizon that are not paid on or before the Due Date, shall be subject to a late payment charge.  The late payment charge shall be calculated utilizing a rate of one-and-one-half percent (1.5%) of the overdue amount (including any unpaid previously billed late payment charges) per month.   No late payment charge shall apply to Disputed Amounts that are allowed by Verizon through the claims submission process or to Disputed Amounts not owed to Verizon after completion of the Dispute Resolution process set forth in Section 18.  

13.7

Although it is the intent of Verizon to submit timely Invoices, failure by Verizon to present Invoices to Cordia in a timely manner shall not constitute a breach or default, or a waiver of the right to payment of the incurred charges, by Verizon under this Agreement, and, except for assertion of a provision of Applicable Law that limits the period in which a suit or other proceeding can be brought before a court or other governmental entity of appropriate jurisdiction to collect amounts due, Cordia shall not be entitled to dispute Verizon’s statement(s) based on Verizon’s failure to submit them in a timely fashion.  

13.8

Should Cordia fail to pay any undisputed amounts when due pursuant to this Section 13, such failure shall constitute an act of material breach.  

14.

Any forecasting information provided pursuant to this Agreement;

14.1.2

Customer information (except to the extent that (a) the Customer information is published in a directory, (b) the Customer information is disclosed through or in the course of furnishing a Telecommunications Services, or (c) the Customer to whom the Customer information is related has authorized the Receiving Party to use and/or disclose the Customer Information);

any information that is communicated orally or visually and declared to the Receiving Party at the time of disclosure, and by written notice with a statement of the information given to the Receiving Party within ten (10) days after disclosure, to be “Confidential or “Proprietary”;  and

14.1.6

this Agreement, including all Attachments and Schedules thereto, with respect to which each Party shall be a Receiving Party for the purposes of this Section 14, except as otherwise provided in Sections 33.1 and 35.2.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, a Party shall have the right to refuse to accept receipt of information, that the other Party has identified as Confidential Information pursuant to Sections 14.1.4 or 14.1.5.

14.2

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Receiving Party shall:

14.2.1

use the Confidential Information received from the Disclosing Party only in performance of this Agreement; and

14.2.2

hold in confidence and shall not directly or indirectly use or disclose to any party or entity, except as permitted herein, the Confidential Information received from the Disclosing Party using the same degree of care (but no less than commercially reasonable), as the Receiving Party uses to protect its own Confidential Information.  The Receiving Party shall disclose Confidential Information only to its representatives that have a need to know and are bound by obligations of confidentiality, and only to the extent necessary to carry out its obligations under this Agreement.  The Receiving Party shall require its representatives to comply with the provisions of this Section  to the same extent as the Receiving Party.  A recipient of Confidential Information shall be liable for any disclosure of Confidential Information by any representative to whom it has disclosed Confidential Information.      

14.3

14.4

Unless otherwise agreed, the obligations of Sections 14.2 and 14.3 do not apply to information described in Sections 14.1.1- 14.1.5 that:

14.5

Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 14.1 through 14.4, the Receiving Party may use and disclose Confidential Information received from the Disclosing Party to the extent necessary to enforce the Receiving Party’s rights under this Agreement.  In making any such disclosure, the Receiving Party shall make reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality and restrict the use of the Confidential Information while it is in the possession of any Person to whom it is disclosed, including by requesting any governmental entity to whom the Confidential Information is disclosed to treat it as confidential and restrict its use to purposes related to the proceeding pending before it.

14.6

The Disclosing Party shall retain all of the Disclosing Party’s right, title and interest in any Confidential Information disclosed by the Disclosing Party to the Receiving Party.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no license is granted by this Agreement with respect to any Confidential Information (including under any patent, trademark or copyright), nor is any such license to be implied solely by virtue of the disclosure of Confidential Information.

14.7

The provisions of this Section  shall be in addition to, and not in derogation of, any provisions of Applicable Law, including 47 U.S.C. § 222, and are not intended to constitute a waiver by a Party of any right with regard to the use, or protection of the confidentiality of, CPNI provided by Applicable Law.

14.8

Each Party’s obligations under this Section  shall survive expiration, cancellation or termination of this Agreement.

15.

Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

16.

Default

Should any act or omission of a Party constitute a material breach of this Agreement, then without limiting any other rights and remedies to which it may be entitled at law or in equity, the injured Party may (a) suspend the provision of any services it provides hereunder (including, where Cordia is the defaulting Party, the provision of Services by Verizon), or (b) cancel this Agreement and terminate the provision of any services it provides hereunder (including, where Cordia is the defaulting Party, the provision of Services by Verizon), provided the injured Party has given the defaulting Party advance written notice of the breach, and provided such breach has continued unremedied until the effective date of such service suspension or cancellation.  Where the material breach is comprised of a failure to pay an amount when due hereunder, the notice period shall be at least fifteen (15) calendar days in advance of service suspension or cancellation if either (i) the injured Party has delivered an invoice to the defaulting Party setting forth the amount due within seven (7) business days of the invoice date (as evidenced by the electronic transmission record), or (ii) the injured Party has delivered the subject invoice to the defaulting Party more than thirty (30) calendar days before such notice is given;  in all other cases of material breach the notice period shall be thirty (30) calendar days. 

17. Discontinuance of Services by Cordia

17.1

If Cordia proposes to discontinue, or actually discontinues, its provision of any service that incorporates the Services as a component thereof to all or substantially all of its Customers, whether voluntarily, as a result of insolvency or bankruptcy, or for any other reason, or if Verizon issues a notice of default and cancellation pursuant to Section 16 above.   Cordia shall send written notice of such discontinuance or imminent cancellation to Verizon and to each of Cordia’s Customers, and to other Persons as required by Applicable Law.  

17.2

Such notice shall advise each Customer that unless action is taken by such Customer to switch to a different carrier prior to the date of Cordia’s proposed discontinuance of Services, the Customer will be without the Services provided by Cordia to the Customer.

17.3

Should such a Customer subsequently become a Verizon Customer, Cordia shall provide Verizon with all information necessary for Verizon to establish Services for such Customer, including the Customer’s billed name, listed name, Services address, and billing address, and the Services being provided to the Customer.

17.4

Nothing in this Section 17 shall limit Verizon’s right to cancel, suspend or terminate this Agreement or suspend provision of the Services under this Agreement.

18. Dispute Resolution

Controversies, claims, and disputes (including billing disputes) that arise on or after the Effective Date and that arise out of or relate to this Agreement shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the provisions hereof.  Either Party may demand arbitration by sending written notice to the other Party.  The Parties shall promptly submit the dispute to the American Arbitration Association for resolution by a single neutral arbitrator acceptable to both parties, as selected under the rules of the American Arbitration Association.  The dispute shall then be administered according to the American Arbitration Association’s Commercial Arbitration Rules, with the following modifications:  (i) the arbitration shall be held in a location mutually acceptable to the Parties, and if the Parties fail to agree, the location shall be in the Borough of Manhattan, State of New York; (ii) the arbitrator shall be licensed to practice law; (iii) the arbitrator shall conduct the arbitration as if it were a bench trial and shall use, apply and enforce the Federal Rules of Evidence, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflicts of laws rules, including the laws and decisions pertaining to enforcement and interpretation of contracts; (iv) except for breaches related to Confidential Information and as otherwise provided in Section 27.6, the arbitrator shall have no power or authority to make any award that provides for special, indirect, incidental, consequential, reliance, exemplary, punitive or like damages, including damages for lost revenues, profits or savings or other commercial or economic loss, even if the person whose liability is excluded by this Section has been advised of the possibility of such damages; (v) the arbitrator shall control the scheduling so that the hearing is completed no later than thirty (30) days after the date of the demand for arbitration; and (vi) the arbitrator’s decision shall be given within five (5) days thereafter in summary form that states the award, without written decision, which shall follow the plain meaning of this Agreement, the relevant documents, and the intent of the parties.  Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties.  Each party to the dispute shall bear its own expenses arising out of the arbitration, except that the expenses of the facilities to conduct the arbitration and the fees of the arbitrator shall be shared equally by the Parties.

Verizon and Cordia acknowledge and agree that:  (a) Verizon’s provision of the Services to Cordia does not constitute a request by Cordia, nor does Verizon’s provision of the Services to Cordia constitute an offer by Verizon, for interconnection, unbundled access, resale or other Services pursuant to Section 251 of the Act, and (b) this Agreement is not subject to Section 252 of the Act, including any requirement to negotiate, mediate, or arbitrate the Agreement pursuant to Section 252 of the Act, or file the Agreement with any state utility commission or the FCC.  Further, for the Term of this Agreement, Cordia: (i) agrees that it will not claim in any forum whatsoever (including in the press, or before a state or federal regulator) that the Services provided under this Agreement are subject to Sections 251 or 271 of the Act, or that Verizon is not meeting its unbundling obligations under Sections 251 or 271 of the Act with respect to Local Switching;  (ii) waives any right to request Verizon to provision unbundled Local Switching under Section 271 of the Act; and (iii) agrees not to directly participate in any action regarding unbundling of Local Switching under Section 251 or 271 of the Act (e.g., Cordia would not appear as a party or file pleadings or correspondence in any such actions) if Verizon is a party in that proceeding.

19.

Taxes

39.1

In General.  With respect to any purchase hereunder of the Services, if any federal, state or local tax, fee, universal services fund contribution, surcharge or other tax-like charge (a “Tax”) is required or permitted by Applicable Law be collected from Cordia by Verizon, then (a) Verizon shall properly bill Cordia for such Tax, (b) Cordia shall timely remit such Tax to Verizon and (c) Verizon shall timely remit such collected Tax to the applicable taxing authority.    

39.2

Taxes Imposed on Verizon.  With respect to any purchase hereunder of the Services, if any federal, state or local Tax is imposed by Applicable Law on the receipts of Verizon, and such Applicable Law permits Verizon to exclude certain receipts received from sales for resale to a public utility, distributor, telephone company, local exchange carrier, telecommunications company or other communications company (“Telecommunications Company”), such exclusion being based solely on the fact that Cordia is also subject to a tax based upon receipts (“Receipts Tax”), then Cordia (a) shall provide Verizon with notice in writing in accordance with Section 39.6 of this Agreement of its intent to pay the Receipts Tax and (b) shall timely pay the Receipts Tax to the applicable tax authority.

39.3

Taxes Imposed on Customers.  With respect to any purchase hereunder of the Services that is resold to a third party, if any federal, state or local Tax is imposed by Applicable Law on the subscriber, end-user, Cordia or ultimate consumer (“Subscriber”) in connection with any such purchase, which a Telecommunications Company is required to impose and/or collect from a Subscriber, then Cordia (a) shall be required to impose and/or collect such Tax from the Subscriber and (b) shall timely remit such Tax to the applicable taxing authority.

39.4

Liability for Uncollected Tax, Interest and Penalty.  If Verizon has not received an exemption certificate from Cordia and Verizon fails to bill Cordia for any Tax as required by Section 39.1, then, as between the Verizon and Cordia, (a) Cordia shall remain liable for such unbilled Tax and (b) Verizon shall be liable for any interest assessed thereon and any penalty assessed with respect to such unbilled Tax by such authority.  If Verizon properly bills Cordia for any Tax but Cordia fails to remit such Tax to Verizon as required by Section 39.1, then, as between Verizon and Cordia, Cordia shall be liable for such uncollected Tax and any interest assessed thereon, as well as any penalty assessed with respect to such uncollected Tax by the applicable taxing authority.  If Verizon does not collect any Tax as required by Section 39.1 because Cordia has provided Verizon with an exemption certificate that is later found to be inadequate by a taxing authority, then, as between Verizon andCordia, Cordia shall be liable for such uncollected Tax and any interest assessed thereon, as well as any penalty assessed with respect to such uncollected Tax by the applicable taxing authority.  If Cordia fails to pay the Receipts Tax as required by Section 39.2, then, as between Verizon andCordia, (x) Verizon shall be liable for any Tax imposed on its receipts and (y) Cordia shall be liable for any interest assessed thereon and any penalty assessed upon Verizon with respect to such Tax by such authority.  If Cordia fails to impose and/or collect any Tax from Subscribers as required by Section 39.3, then, as between Verizon and Cordia, Cordia shall remain liable for such uncollected Tax and any interest assessed thereon, as well as any penalty assessed with respect to such uncollected Tax by the applicable taxing authority.  With respect to any Tax that Cordia has agreed to pay, or is required to impose on and/or collect from Subscribers, Cordia agrees to indemnify and hold Verizon harmless on an after-tax basis for any costs incurred by Verizon as a result of actions taken by the applicable taxing authority to recover the Tax from Verizon due to the failure of Cordia to timely pay, or collect and timely remit, such Tax to such authority.  In the event either Party is audited by a taxing authority, the other Party agrees to cooperate fully with the Party being audited in order to respond to any audit inquiries in a proper and timely manner so that the audit and/or any resulting controversy may be resolved expeditiously. In the event such an audit is conducted, each Party agrees to pay its own expenses incurred as a result of the administration of such an audit. 

39.5

Tax Exemptions and Exemption Certificates.  If Applicable Law clearly exempts a purchase hereunder from a Tax, and if such Applicable Law also provides an exemption procedure, such as an exemption-certificate requirement, then, if Cordia complies with such procedure, Verizon shall not collect such Tax during the effective period of such exemption.  Such exemption shall be effective upon receipt of the exemption certificate or affidavit in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 39.6.  If Applicable Law clearly exempts a purchase hereunder from a Tax, but does not also provide an exemption procedure, then Verizon shall not collect such Tax if Cordia (a) furnishes Verizon with a letter signed by an officer requesting such an exemption and citing the provision in the Applicable Law which clearly allows such exemption and (b) supplies Verizon with an indemnification agreement, reasonably acceptable to Verizon (e.g., an agreement commonly used in the industry), which holds Verizon harmless on an after-tax basis with respect to its forbearing to collect such Tax.

39.6

All notices, affidavits, exemption-certificates or other communications required or permitted to be given by either Party to the other, for purposes of this Section 39, shall be made in writing and shall be delivered in person or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, or registered mail, or a courier Services providing proof of Services, and sent to the addressees set forth in Section  as well as to the following:

Attachment 2 – Description of Services

1.

General

The Services offered under this Agreement shall be comprised of DS0 loops and Local Circuit Switching (including shared transport and SS7 signaling used in conjunction with such switching), and shall include all features (including Remote Call Forwarding), functionalities and capabilities associated with the DS0 UNE-P service previously available to Cordia under the applicable interconnection agreement with Verizon or Verizon state tariff as of  one hundred thirty-eight (138) days prior to the Effective Date.  The Services shall include Residential and Business POTS, Centrex, analog PBX trunks, FX, and non-Centrex Basic Rate ISDN services to the extent those services were included in UNE-Ps offered by Verizon in the particular jurisdiction as of  one hundred thirty-eight (138) days prior to the Effective Date. (i.e., PBX and FX are available in Verizon’s Former Bell Atlantic Territories, but not in its Former GTE Territories).  For avoidance of doubt, the Services shall include DS0 UNE-P service used to serve both mass market Customers and Customers with four or more DS0 lines, but shall not include Centrex Basic Rate ISDN services (e.g., Digital Premium service).  The rates for the specific services, features, functionalities, and capabilities to be included in the Services for each jurisdiction are listed in the Rate Attachments to Attachment 3.      

2.   

Related Services

Verizon shall continue to make available to Cordia under separate agreements or tariffs (e.g., interconnection agreements, Operator Services/Directory Assistance (“OS/DA”) agreements), as amended, all related services previously made available for use in conjunction with UNE-P service arrangements in the particular jurisdiction as of one hundred thirty-eight (138) days prior to the Effective Date, including OS/DA, intercept and referral announcements, signaling and call related databases, access to 911 and E911, LIDB, and 800 databases.  

3.

Other Services

At such time as Verizon is operationally ready to provide such services in conjunction with the Services provided under this Agreement, Cordia shall have the option to purchase voicemail, ADSL and inside wire (time and material) from Verizon for Wholesale Advantage Lines under terms, conditions and rates to be negotiated by the Parties.   

Exhibit 10.13 Cordia-Verizon WSA Agreement (EDGAR)

Attachment 3- Pricing

1.

Rates for the Services

Except as set forth in subsections 1.1- 1.4 of this Attachment 3, Verizon shall bill and Cordia shall pay the individual rates for the Services identical to the applicable rates for the particular DS0 UNE-P and associated features, including recurring and nonrecurring rates applicable to each individual unbundled network element comprising a DS0 UNE-P line as well as applicable mileage and usage charges, OSS charges and any other rate element charges, as set forth in the applicable interconnection agreement between the Parties or in the applicable Verizon state tariff as of one hundred thirty-eight (138) days prior to the Effective Date orAugust 15, 2004, whichever date results in higher charges (all such charges, the “Underlying Charges”),1 which state specific charges are set forth in the thirty-two (32) Rate Attachments  to this Attachment 3;2 provided, however, that the monthly recurring rate for the DS0 (or POTS) switch port previously available under Cordia’s  interconnection agreement with Verizon or Verizon state tariff in each particular serving area as of one hundred thirty-eight (138) days prior to the Effective Date or  August 15, 2004, whichever date results in a higher rate, shall be increased by the Surcharges set forth in Appendix A to this Attachment 3. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing:

1.1

Intentionally left blank

1.2

As part of the Underlying Charges (to which the Surcharge will be added), Verizon shall bill and Cordia shall also pay any state commission-approved charges in effect at that time in a particular state (as evidenced by Verizon’s standard price schedule for interconnection agreements in that state) imposed by Verizon to recover costs for Operations Support Systems that will be utilized by Cordia for pre-ordering, ordering, billing, provisioning, repair and other processes associated with the Wholesale Advantage service offering. 

1.3

As part of the Underlying Charges (to which the Surcharge will be added), Verizon shall bill and Cordia shall pay Verizon’s then-current rates for recovery of charges billed to Verizon by third party carriers for transport and termination of calls originated by Cordia Wholesale Advantage Customers.  The Parties agree that Cordia may continue to bill and collect from third party carriers the types of charges it billed to third party carriers for the transport and termination of calls terminated to UNE-P customers immediately prior to the Effective Date.  Verizon will provide Cordia with the same DUF records that it provided to Cordia immediately prior to the Effective Date for the purpose of allowing Cordia to bill the third party carrier for such charges.

1.4   As part of the Underlying Charges (to which the Surcharge will be added), Verizon shall bill and Cordia shall pay Verizon any charges based on a restructuring of rates that Verizon may implement during the Term provided such rate restructuring does not result in an overall increase to the charges that would otherwise be due to Verizon from Cordia under this Agreement for a particular month.

In addition to the foregoing rates and charges:

1.5

Verizon shall bill and Cordia shall pay the state specific charges set forth in the Rate Attachments to this Attachment 3 for (i) transport and termination of reciprocal compensation traffic originated by Cordia Wholesale Advantage Customers and terminated to a Verizon switch and (ii) transport and terminating switch usage for traffic originated by customers of third party carriers and terminated to Cordia Wholesale Advantage Customers.      

1.1

Verizon shall bill and Cordia shall pay all Wireless Service Provider Number Portability (“WSPNP”) surcharges if and when such surcharges go into effect under Verizon’s FCC Tariff Nos. 1, 11, 14 and 16.  

1.7

Verizon shall bill and Cordia shall pay Verizon’s standard rates (based on the rates set forth in Verizon’s retail tariffs) for inclusion of listings of Cordia Wholesale Advantage Customers in Verizon’s printed directories.

For avoidance of doubt, Cordia will not bill and Verizon will not pay any charges for traffic terminating to or originating from an Cordia Customer under this Agreement.  

2.

Related and Other Services

Charges to be imposed by Verizon and paid by Cordia for the Related and Other Services described in Sections 2 and 3 of Attachment 2 shall be governed by the agreements and tariffs described in Sections 2 and 3 of Attachment 2.

1 In the states where there was no effective interconnection agreement or applicable state tariff as of  August 15, 2004, the relevant charges from Verizon’s standard price schedule as of that date or the date one hundred thirty-eight (138) days prior to the Effective Date, whichever date results in higher charges, shall apply.

2 The Parties have attempted to include all applicable charges in the thirty-two (32) Rate Attachments addressing the following Verizon service territories: Delaware, Washington, D.C., Connecticut, Maryland, Maine, New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Vermont, Massachusetts, West Virginia, Virginia (Verizon Virginia Inc.), Virginia (Verizon South Inc.), Pennsylvania (Verizon Pennsylvania Inc.), Pennsylvania (Verizon North Inc.), Michigan, California, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Arizona, Wisconsin, Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Washington, and North Carolina.  However, in the event that an applicable rate or rate element in effect as of August 15, 2004 is omitted from the Rate Attachments, the Parties will amend this Agreement to include the missing rate or rate element and Verizon will bill and Cordia shall pay such rate (or such rate in effect  one hundred thirty-eight (138) days prior to the Effective Date, whichever date results in a higher rate) as of the Effective Date.

This Pooling and Servicing Agreement is dated as of July 1, 2005 (the “Agreement”), among CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC., as depositor (the “Depositor”), CREDIT-BASED ASSET SERVICING AND SECURITIZATION LLC, as seller (the “Seller”), LITTON LOAN SERVICING LP, as servicer (the “Servicer”) and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

The Depositor intends to sell pass-through certificates (collectively, the “Certificates”), to be issued hereunder in multiple Classes, which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund created hereunder.  The Certificates will consist of twenty-four Classes of Certificates, designated as (i) the Class AV-1 Certificates, the Class AV-2 Certificates, the Class AV-3 Certificates, the Class AF-1 Certificates, the Class AF-2 Certificates, the Class AF-3 Certificates and the Class AF-4 Certificates, (ii) the Class M-1 Certificates, Class M-2 Certificates, the Class M-3 Certificates, the Class M-4 Certificates, the Class M-5 Certificates and the Class M-6 Certificates, (iii) the Class B-1 Certificates, the Class B-2 Certificates, the Class B-3 Certificates, the Class B-4 Certificates, the Class B-5 Certificates, the Class B-6 Certificates
and the Class B-7 Certificates, (iv) the Class N Certificates, (v) the Class X Certificates and (vi) the Class R Certificates and the Class R-X Certificates.

 

 

REMIC 1

As provided herein, the Trustee will make an election to treat the segregated pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other related assets subject to this Agreement (but exclusive of the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account and the Cap Contracts) as a real estate investment conduit (a “REMIC”) for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will be designated as “REMIC 1.”  The Class R-1 Interest will represent the sole class of “residual interests” in REMIC 1 for purposes of the REMIC Provisions under federal income tax law.  The following table irrevocably sets forth the designation, the Uncertificated REMIC 1 Pass-Through Rate, the initial Uncertificated Principal Balance, and solely for purposes of satisfying Treasury regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the “latest possible maturity date” for each of
the REMIC 1 Regular Interests.  None of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests will be certificated.

The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, 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 identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, including the related Cut-off Date Principal Balance, all interest accruing thereon after the Cut-off Date and all collections in respect of interest and principal due after the Cut-off Date; (ii) property which secured each 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) all proceeds of any of the foregoing; (v) the rights of the Depositor

Such assignment includes all interest and principal due to the Depositor or the Servicer after the Cut off Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

In connection with such transfer and assignment, the Seller, on behalf of the Depositor, does hereby deliver or cause to be delivered to, and deposit with the Trustee, or its designated agent (the “Custodian”), the following documents or instruments with respect to each Mortgage Loan (a “Mortgage File”) so transferred and assigned:

            (ii)

            (iii)
 	
            an original Assignment of Mortgage, in form and substance acceptable for recording.  The Mortgage shall be assigned either (A) in blank or (B) to “JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as Trustee for the C-BASS Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2005-CB4, without recourse”
 

 

 

 

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

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

	
            (vi)

            (vii)
 	
            for each FHA Loan, the original Mortgage Insurance Certificate; and
 
	
            (viii)
 	
            for each VA Loan, the original Loan Guaranty Certificate.
 	
             

If any of the documents referred to in Section 2.01(ii), (iii) or (iv) above has as of the Closing Date been submitted for recording but either (x) has not been returned from the applicable public recording office or (y) has been lost or such public recording office has retained the original of such document, the obligations of the Seller to deliver such documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon (1) delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian no later than the Closing Date, of a copy of each such document certified by the Seller in the case of (x) above or the applicable public recording office in the case of (y) above to be a true and complete copy of the original that was submitted for recording and (2) if such copy is certified by the Seller, delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian, promptly upon receipt thereof of either the original or a copy of such document certified by the
applicable public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original.  The Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian promptly upon receipt thereof any other documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received with respect to any Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, any original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of any Mortgage Loan.

Upon discovery or receipt of notice of any materially defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File, the Seller shall have 120 days to cure such defect or 150 days following the Closing Date, in the case of missing Mortgages or Assignments or deliver such missing document to the Trustee or the Custodian.  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.

The Servicer shall cause the Assignments of Mortgage which were delivered in blank to be completed and shall cause all Assignments referred to in Section 2.01(iii) hereof and, to the extent necessary, in Section 2.01(iv) hereof to be recorded.  The Servicer shall be required to deliver such assignments for recording within 30 days of the Closing Date.  The Servicer shall furnish the Trustee, or its designated agent, with a copy of each Assignment of Mortgage submitted for recording.  In the event that any such Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Servicer shall promptly have a substitute Assignment prepared or have such defect cured, as the case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly recorded.

In the event that any Assignments of Mortgage are not recorded or are improperly recorded, neither the Trustee nor the Servicer shall have any liability for its failure to receive or act on notices not received related to such Assignment of Mortgage.

 

 

In the event that any Mortgage Note is endorsed in blank as of the Closing Date, promptly following the Closing Date the Servicer shall cause to be completed such endorsements in the following form:  “Pay to the order of JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as Trustee for the C-BASS Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2005-CB4, without recourse.”

The Depositor herewith delivers to the Trustee executed copies of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

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

	
            Section 2.02
 	
            Acceptance by the Trustee.
 

The Trustee acknowledges the receipt of, subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to the review described below and any exceptions noted on the exception report described in the next paragraph below, the documents referred to in Section 2.01 above and all other assets included in the definition of “Trust Fund” and declares that it or the Custodian on its behalf holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting a Mortgage File, and that it or the Custodian on its behalf holds or will hold all such assets and such other assets included in the definition of “Trust Fund” in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.

The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver (or cause the Custodian 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 F-3 hereto.

The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to review (or cause the Custodian to review) each Mortgage File within 60 days after the Closing Date (or, with respect to any document delivered after the Startup Day, within 60 days of receipt and with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage, within 60 days after the assignment thereof) and to certify (or cause the Custodian to certify) in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1 that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception report annexed thereto as not being covered by such certification), (i) all documents required to be delivered to it pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement are in its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and have not been mutilated,
damaged or torn and relate to such Mortgage Loan, (iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items (1), (2), (3), (5), (13) and (22) (but only as to whether the Mortgage Loan has a Prepayment Charge) of the Mortgage Loan Schedule accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File, (iv) all Assignments of Mortgage or intervening assignments of mortgage, as applicable, have been submitted for recording and (v) each Mortgage Note has been endorsed as provided in Section 2.01(i) of this Agreement and each Mortgage has been assigned in accordance with Section 2.01(iii) of this Agreement.  It is 

 

herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review, the Trustee (or the Custodian, as applicable) is under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that they are genuine, 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.

Prior to the first anniversary date of this Agreement the Trustee shall deliver (or cause the Custodian to deliver) to the Depositor and the Servicer a final certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F-2 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 (or the Custodian, as applicable) finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or defective in any material respect, at the conclusion of its review the Trustee, upon its notification by the Custodian, if applicable, shall so notify the Seller, the Depositor and the Servicer.  In addition, upon the discovery by the Seller, Depositor, the Trustee or the Servicer (or upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such breach) of a breach of any of the representations and warranties made by the Seller in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the related Certificateholders in such Mortgage
Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.

The Depositor and the Trustee intend that the assignment and transfer herein contemplated constitute a sale of the Mortgage Loans 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 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, on behalf of the Trust, a first priority perfected security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans 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 of any materially defective document in, 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 in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, the Trustee (or the Custodian, as applicable) shall promptly notify the Seller and the Servicer of such defect, missing document or breach and request that the Seller deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach within 120 days or 150 days following the Closing Date, in the case of missing Mortgages or Assignments from the date the Seller was notified of such missing document, defect or breach, and if the
Seller does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall enforce the 

 

Seller’s obligation under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and inform the Seller of its obligation to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price on or prior to the Determination Date following the expiration of such 120 day period (subject to Section 2.03(e)); provided that, in connection with any such breach that could not reasonably have been cured within such 120 day or 150 day period, if the Seller shall have commenced to cure such breach within such 120 day or 150 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.  The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Collection Account, and the Trustee, upon receipt of written certification from the Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the
Seller the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, 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.  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 Defective Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d).  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.

	
            (b)
 	
            [Reserved].
 

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

(d)        Any substitution of Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans for Defective Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) must be effected prior to the last Business Day that is within two years after the Closing Date.  As to any Defective Mortgage Loan for which the Seller substitutes an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Seller delivering to the Trustee, for such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by Section 2.01, together with an Officers’ Certificate providing that each such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Adjustment Amount (as described below), if
any, in connection with such substitution.  The Trustee shall acknowledge receipt for such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within ten Business Days thereafter, shall review such documents as specified in Section 2.02 and deliver (or cause the Custodian to deliver) to the Servicer, with respect to such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.  Within one year of the date of substitution, the Trustee shall deliver (or cause the Custodian to deliver) to the Servicer a certification substantially in the 

 

form of Exhibit F-2 hereto with respect to such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.  Monthly Payments due with respect to Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of 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 Defective Mortgage Loan in the Collection 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 Defective 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 Defective Mortgage Loan from
the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee and the Custodian.  Upon such substitution, such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement and, in the case of a substitution effected by the Seller, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including, in the case of a substitution effected by the Seller all applicable representations and warranties thereof included in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and all applicable representations and warranties thereof set forth in Section 2.04, in each case as of the date of substitution.

For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Defective Mortgage Loans, the Servicer will determine the amount (the “Substitution Adjustment Amount”), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Defective Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate, as to each such Eligible 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 Mortgage Interest Rate.  On the date of such substitution, the Seller will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the Substitution Adjustment Amount, if any, and the Trustee, upon receipt of the related Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and certification by the Servicer of such deposit,
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, representation or warranty, as the Seller shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Defective 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 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 to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.  If such Opinion of Counsel can not be delivered, then such substitution may only be effected at such time as the required Opinion of Counsel can be given.

(e)        Upon discovery by the Seller, the Servicer or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within two Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties.  In connection therewith, the Seller shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d), substitute one or more Eligible Substitute 

 

Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan.  In addition, upon discovery that a Mortgage Loan is defective in a manner that would cause it to be a “defective obligation” within the meaning of Treasury regulations relating to REMICs, the Seller shall cure the defect or make the required purchase or substitution no later than 90 days after the discovery of the defect.  Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.03(a), 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.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto acknowledge that the functions of the Trustee with respect to the custody, acceptance, inspection and release of the Mortgage Files pursuant to Sections 2.01, 2.02 and 2.03 and preparation and delivery of the certifications in the form of Exhibit F-1, Exhibit F-2 and Exhibit F-3 shall be performed by the Custodian pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Custodial Agreement.  The fees and expenses of the Custodian shall be paid by the Servicer.

	
            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 and the Depositor that as of the Closing Date or as of such other date specifically provided herein:

(a)        The representations and warranties made by the Seller pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement are hereby being made to the Trustee and are true and correct as of the Closing Date.

(b)        Any written agreement between the Mortgagor in respect of a Mortgage Loan and the Servicer modifying such Mortgagor’s obligation to make payments under the Mortgage Loan (such modified Mortgage Loan, a “Modified Mortgage Loan”) involved the application of the Seller’s underwriting standards or some assessment of the Mortgagor’s ability to repay the Modified Mortgage Loan.

With respect to the representations and warranties set forth 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, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian 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.

Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian of a breach of any of the representations and warranties contained in this Section that materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the 

 

Certificateholders, the party discovering the breach shall give prompt written notice to the others and in no event later than two Business Days from the date of such discovery.  Within ninety 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 Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans, in either case, in accordance with Section 2.03.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Trustee and shall inure to the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Depositor notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement or assignment.  It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in Section 2.03(a) to cure, substitute for or repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement constitute the sole remedies available to the Depositor and to the Certificateholders or to the Trustee on their behalf respecting a breach of the representations and warranties contained in this Section 2.04.

	
            Section 2.05
 	
            Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Servicer.

default under or result in the acceleration of any obligation under, any agreement, indenture or loan or credit agreement or other instrument to which the Servicer or its property is subject, or result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which the Servicer or its property is subject;

(iii)        The Servicer is an approved servicer of conventional mortgage loans for Fannie Mae, and is an FHA Approved Mortgagee in good standing to service mortgages and has not been suspended as a mortgagee or servicer by the FHA and has the facilities, procedures and experienced personnel necessary for the sound servicing of mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loans.

(ix)        There are no actions or proceedings against, or investigations of, the Seller pending or, to its knowledge, threatened, before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal (i) that, if determined adversely, would prohibit the Seller from entering into this Agreement, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (iii) that, if determined adversely, would prohibit or materially and adversely affect the Seller’s performance of any of its respective obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement.

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.

(b)        The Seller hereby covenants that neither it nor any Affiliate of the Seller will directly solicit any Mortgagor hereunder to refinance the related Mortgage Loan.

ARTICLE III

 

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING

OF THE TRUST FUND

	
            Section 3.01
 	
            Servicer to Act as Servicer.
 

The Servicer, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and the normal and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage servicers, and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement including, in the case of FHA Loans, taking all actions that a mortgagee is permitted or required to take by the FHA (the “Servicing Standards”).

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Servicer’s reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Certificateholders; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not make future advances and (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) the Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would (i) change the Mortgage Interest Rate, defer or forgive the payment thereof of any
principal or interest payments, reduce the outstanding principal amount (except for actual payments of principal) or extend the final maturity date with respect to such Mortgage Loan, (ii) in the case of FHA Loans, affect the FHA Insurance Contract with respect to such Mortgage Loan, (iii) affect adversely the status of any REMIC as a REMIC or (iv) cause any REMIC to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would both (x) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1.860G-2(b) of the Treasury Regulations and (y) cause any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” after the Startup Day under the REMIC Provisions.  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of itself, and the Trustee, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Property.  The Servicer shall make all required Servicing Advances and shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Applicable Regulations, and shall provide to the Mortgagor any reports required to be provided to them thereby.  If reasonably required by the Servicer, the Trustee shall furnish the Servicer with a power of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit P hereto and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement and the Trustee shall have no liability with respect to any misuse of such power of
attorney and shall be indemnified by the Servicer for any costs, liabilities or expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection therewith.  In connection with any modification pursuant to this Section 3.01, to the extent there are any unreimbursed Advances or 

 

Servicing Advances, the Servicer shall reimburse itself for such amounts from the Collection Account.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer shall be prohibited from foreclosing on any Mortgage Loan based on the delinquency status thereof as of the Cut-off Date.

In servicing and administering FHA Loans, the Servicer shall comply strictly with the National Housing Act and the FHA Regulations, and administrative guidelines issued thereunder or pursuant thereto (insofar as the same apply to any Mortgage Loan) and, to the extent permitted hereunder, promptly discharge all of the obligations of the mortgagee thereunder and under each Mortgage including the timely giving of notices, the essence hereof being that the full benefits of each FHA Insurance Contract inure to the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders.

In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall employ procedures including collection procedures and exercise the same care that it customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering mortgage loans for its own account giving due consideration to accepted mortgage servicing practices of prudent lending institutions, the FHA Insurance Contracts, where applicable, and the Certificateholders’ reliance on the Servicer.

The Servicer shall give prompt notice to the Trustee of any action, of which the Servicer has actual knowledge, which action purports to (i) assert a claim against the Trust Fund or (ii) assert jurisdiction over the Trust Fund.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a Principal Prepayment in full of a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer may not waive any Prepayment Charge or portion thereof required by the terms of the related Mortgage Note unless (i) the Servicer determines that such waiver would maximize recovery of Liquidation Proceeds for such Mortgage Loan, taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge, (ii) (A) the enforceability thereof is limited (1) by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership, or other similar law relating to creditors’ rights generally or (2) due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment, or (B) the enforceability is otherwise limited or prohibited by applicable law or (iii) the Servicer has not been provided with information sufficient to enable it to collect the Prepayment Charge.  In the event of
a Principal Prepayment in full with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit N no later than the date on which the Servicer delivers the Remittance Report to the Trustee and the Trustee will make such Officer’s Certificate available on its website to the Class X Certificateholders.  If the Servicer has waived or does not collect all or a portion of a Prepayment Charge relating to a Principal Prepayment in full due to any action or omission of the Servicer, other than as provided above, the Servicer shall, as soon as possible after the date such Principal Prepayment in full is made, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days from such date, deliver to the Trustee the amount of such Prepayment Charge (or such portion thereof as had been waived for deposit) into the Distribution Account for distribution in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

 

The Trustee shall make available on its website to the Depositor and the owner of the Class N and Class X Certificates, on a monthly basis, a statement setting forth the amounts received with respect to Prepayment Charges.

	
            Section 3.02
 	
            Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.
 

Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans are paid in full, the Servicer will diligently collect all payments due under each Mortgage Loan when the same shall become due and payable and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and Applicable Regulations, follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account.  Further, the Servicer will take special care in ascertaining and estimating annual ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, fire and hazard insurance premiums, mortgage insurance premiums, and all other charges that, as provided in the Mortgage, will become due and payable to that end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.

	
            Section 3.03
 	
            Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
 

In the event that any payment due under any Conventional Mortgage Loan is not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Mortgagor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, the Servicer shall take such action as it shall deem to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders.  In the event that any payment due under any FHA Loan becomes delinquent, the Servicer shall take all such actions as are in the best interests of the Certificateholders and permitted under any applicable FHA loss mitigation proceedings, including, but not limited to, requesting the FHA to accept an assignment of such FHA Loan, and, upon the Servicer’s determination that foreclosure is in the best interest of the Certificateholders, commencing foreclosure proceedings.  With respect to any
defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall have the right to review the status of the related forbearance plan and, subject to the second paragraph of Section 3.01, may modify such forbearance plan; including, extending the Mortgage Loan repayment date for a period of one year or reducing the Mortgage Interest Rate up to 50 basis points.

In connection with a foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall exercise such rights and powers vested in it hereunder and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as prudent mortgage servicers would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of their own affairs and consistent with Applicable Regulations and the servicing standards set forth in the Fannie Mae Guide, including, without limitation, advancing funds for the payment of taxes and insurance premiums with respect to first lien Mortgage Loans.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Servicer has received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall not either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to, such Mortgaged Property if, as a result of any such action, the Trust Fund would be 

 

considered to hold title to, to be a mortgagee-in-possession of, or to be an owner or operator of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Servicer has also previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a prudent report prepared by a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry standards, that:

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

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

The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 3.03 shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.05(ii).

If the Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders to take such actions as are necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders.  The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.05(ii).

	
            Section 3.04
 	
            Collection Account and Distribution Account.
 

(a)        The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Collection Accounts.  Each Collection Account shall be an Eligible Account.

The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account on a daily basis within two Business Days of receipt, and retain therein, the following payments and collections received or made by it after the Cut-off Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans:

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

 

 

(ii)         all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans adjusted to the Mortgage Interest Rate less the Servicing Fee Rate;

	
            (iii)
 	
            all proceeds from a Final Recovery Determination;
 

(iv)        all Insurance Proceeds including amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.10, other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures, the loan documents or applicable law;

(v)        all Condemnation Proceeds affecting any Mortgaged Property which are not released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures, the loan documents or applicable law;

	
            (vi)
 	
            all Subsequent Recoveries; and
 

(vii)       any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer in connection with any REO Property pursuant to Section 3.13.

Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Collection Account, subject to Section 3.25, shall accrue to the benefit of the Servicer and the Servicer shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(v).  The foregoing requirements for deposit from the Collection Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges, prepayment charges that are not Prepayment Charges, and assumption fees need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account.

(b)        On behalf of the Trust Fund and the Trustee, the Trustee shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (such account or accounts, the “Distribution Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders.  On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee in immediately available funds for deposit in the Distribution Account by the close of business New York time on the Servicer Remittance Date, that portion of the Available Funds (calculated without regard to the references in the definition thereof to amounts that may be deposited to the Distribution Account from a different source as provided herein) then on deposit in the Collection Account.

(c)        Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 3.25.  The Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee of the location of the Collection Account maintained by it when established and prior to any change thereof.  The Trustee shall give notice to the Servicer and the Depositor of the location of the Distribution Account when established and prior to any change thereof.

(d)        In the event the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time, in writing pursuant to a certificate of a Servicing Officer, request that the Trustee withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account and remit to the Servicer any such amount, any provision 

 

herein to the contrary notwithstanding.  In addition, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee from time to time for deposit, and the Trustee shall so deposit, in the Distribution Account in respect of REMIC 1:

	
            (i)
 	
            any Advances, as required pursuant to Section 4.07;
 

(ii)         any Stayed Funds, as soon as permitted by the federal bankruptcy court having jurisdiction in such matters;

(iii)        any Prepayment Charges or amounts in connection with the waiver of such Prepayment Charges, in each case required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.01;

(iv)        any amounts required to be deposited in the Distribution Account pursuant to Sections 2.03, 3.04, 3.15, 3.16, 3.23 or 4.07; and

(v)        any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11 in connection with the deductible clause in any blanket hazard insurance policy, such deposit being made from the Servicer’s own funds, without reimbursement therefor.

(e)        Promptly upon receipt of any Stayed Funds, whether from the Servicer, a trustee in bankruptcy, or federal bankruptcy court or other source, the Trustee shall notify the Servicer of such receipt and deposit such funds in the Distribution Account, subject to withdrawal thereof as permitted hereunder.

	
            Section 3.05
 	
            Permitted Withdrawals From the Collection Account.
 

The Servicer may, from time to time, withdraw from the Collection Account for the following purposes:

(i)         to remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account the amounts required to be so remitted pursuant to Section 3.04(b) or permitted to be so remitted pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3.04(d);

(ii)         to reimburse itself for (x) Advances and Servicing Advances; the Servicer’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent payments of (a) principal and/or interest respecting which any such Advance was made or (b) Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds respecting which any such Servicing Advance was made or (y) any unreimbursed Advances made pursuant to Section 4.07(b) to the extent of funds held in the Collection Account for future distribution that were not included in Available Funds for the preceding Distribution Date;

(iii)        to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances, any unpaid Servicing Fees and for unreimbursed Advances to the extent that such amounts are deemed to be Nonrecoverable Advances, to reimburse itself for such amounts to the extent that such amounts are nonrecoverable from the disposition of REO Property pursuant to Section 3.03 or Section 3.13 hereof and to reimburse itself  for such amounts 

 

to the extent that such Advances or Servicing Advances have not been reimbursed at the time a Mortgage Loan has been modified;

(iv)        to reimburse itself for any amounts paid pursuant to Section 3.03 (and not otherwise previously reimbursed);

(v)        to pay to itself as servicing compensation (a) any interest earned on funds in the Collection Account (all such interest to be withdrawn monthly not later than each Servicer Remittance Date) and (b) the Servicing Fee from that portion of any payment or recovery as to interest to a particular Mortgage Loan to the extent not retained pursuant to Section 3.04(ii);

(vi)        to pay or reimburse itself or any other party for any amounts payable or paid pursuant to Section 3.26 or Section 6.03 (and not otherwise previously reimbursed); and

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

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

	
            Section 3.06
 	
            Establishment of Escrow Accounts; Deposits in Escrow Accounts.
 

The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts.  A copy of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Trustee upon request.  The Escrow Account shall be an Eligible Account.

The Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts on a daily basis within two Business Days of receipt, and retain therein, (i) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) all Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property.  The Servicer shall make withdrawals therefrom only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes as shall be set forth in, or in accordance with, Section 3.07.  The Servicer shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor and, to the extent required by the related Mortgage Loan or
Applicable Regulations, the Servicer shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account is non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.

 

 

	
            Section 3.07
 	
            Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.
 

Withdrawals from the Escrow Account may be made by the Servicer (i) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, fire, flood and hazard insurance premiums, and comparable items, (ii) to reimburse the Servicer for any Servicing Advance made by the Servicer with respect to a related Mortgage Loan but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments or Late Collections of Escrow Payments thereunder, (iii) to refund to the Mortgagor any funds as may be determined to be overages, (iv) for transfer to the Collection Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (v) for application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property, (vi) to pay to the Servicer, or to the Mortgagor to the extent required by the related Mortgage Loan or Applicable Regulations, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow
Account, (vii) to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement, (viii) to transfer to the Collection Account any insurance proceeds, or (ix) in the case of FHA Loans, for transfer to the Collection Account, fire and hazard insurance proceeds and Escrow Payments with respect to any Mortgage Loan where the FHA has directed application of such funds as a credit against the proceeds of the FHA Insurance Contract.  As part of its servicing duties, the Servicer shall pay to the Mortgagor interest on funds in the Escrow Account, to the extent required by the related Mortgage Loan or Applicable Regulations, and to the extent that interest earned on funds in the Escrow Account is insufficient, shall pay such interest from its own funds, without any reimbursement therefor.

In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Escrow Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

	
            Section 3.08
 	
            Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges; Collections Thereunder.
 

With respect to each first lien Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and fire, flood and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges (including renewal premiums) and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or Applicable Regulations.  To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer (i) shall determine
whether any such payments are made by the Mortgagor in a manner and at a time that is necessary to avoid the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure as a result of a tax lien and (ii) shall ensure that all insurance required to be maintained on the Mortgaged Property pursuant to this Agreement is maintained.  If any such payment has not been made and the Servicer receives notice of a tax lien with respect to the Mortgage Loan being imposed, the Servicer will, to the extent required to avoid loss of the Mortgaged Property, advance or cause to be advanced funds necessary to discharge such lien on the Mortgaged Property.  The Servicer assumes full responsibility for the payment of all such bills and shall effect payments of all such bills 

 

irrespective of the Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make Servicing Advances from its own funds to effect such payments.

	
            Section 3.09
 	
            Transfer of Accounts.
 

The Servicer may transfer the Collection Account or the Escrow Account to a different depository institution from time to time.  Upon such transfer, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor, a certification or letter agreement, as the case may be, as required pursuant to Sections 3.04 and 3.06.

	
            Section 3.10
 	
            Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.
 

The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each first lien Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements which are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis, (ii) the Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan, in each case in an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the Mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer or (iii) the amount required under applicable HUD/FHA regulations.  If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Flood Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and flood insurance has been made available, the Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood
insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (i) the Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (iii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended.  The Servicer shall also maintain on the REO Property for the benefit of the Certificateholders, (x) fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the replacement cost of the improvements which are a part of such property, (y) public liability insurance and, (z) to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in an amount as provided above.  Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies other than
amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures, shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05.  It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is required to be maintained by the Servicer or the Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to such Applicable Regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.  All such policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Servicer and shall provide for at least thirty days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the amount of or material change in coverage to the Servicer.  The Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of
choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies currently reflect a general 

 

policy rating of B:VI or better in Best’s Key Rating Guide and are licensed to do business in the state wherein the property subject to the policy is located.

	
            Section 3.11
 	
            Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy.
 

In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy issued by an insurer that has a general policy rating of B:VI or better in Best’s Key Rating Guide insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 3.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 3.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 3.10, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with Section 3.10, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the
Distribution Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause, which amount shall not be reimbursable to the Servicer from the Trust Fund.  In connection with its activities as servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of the Trustee, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.  Upon request of the Trustee, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee a certified true copy of such policy and a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty days prior written notice to the Trustee.

	
            Section 3.12
 	
            Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance.
 

The Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond (the “Fidelity Bond”) and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with financially responsible companies on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loans to handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loans.  The Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker’s Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons.  Such Fidelity Bond shall also protect and insure the Servicer against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan
without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby.  No provision of this Section 3.12 requiring the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement.  The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by Fannie Mae in the Fannie Mae MBS Selling and Servicing Guide or by Freddie Mac in the Freddie Mac Servicer’s Guide.  Upon request of the Trustee, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the requesting party a certified true copy of the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy and a statement from the surety and the insurer that such Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty days’ prior written notice to the Trustee.

 

 

	
            Section 3.13
 	
            Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.
 

(a)        In the event that title to a Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken (pursuant to a limited power of attorney to be provided by the Trustee to the Servicer) in the name of the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders, or in the event the Trustee is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be consistent with an Opinion of Counsel obtained by the Servicer from an attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located.  Any Person or Persons holding
such title other than the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit of the Trustee.

(b)        In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any REO Property as aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall dispose of such REO Property before the end of the third calendar year beginning after the year of its acquisition by the Trust Fund for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or, at the expense of the Trust Fund, request from the Internal Revenue Service, more than 60 days before the day on which the above-mentioned grace period would otherwise expire, an extension of the above-mentioned grace period, unless the Servicer obtains an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Servicer and the Trustee, to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to such period will not:  (i) result in the imposition of any tax on “prohibited
transactions” as defined in Section 860F of the Code; or (ii) cause any REMIC constituting any part of the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, in which case the Trust Fund may continue to hold such REO Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel).  The Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Collection Account for any costs incurred in obtaining such Opinion of Counsel, as provided in Section 3.05.

Subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force, and notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, no REO Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would:  (i) cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code; or (ii) subject any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund to the imposition of any federal income taxes on the income earned from such REO Property, including any taxes imposed by reason of Sections 860F or 860G(c) of the Code, unless the Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.

The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Certificateholders and the Trust Fund solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by the related REMIC of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code, or any “net income from foreclosure property” which is subject to taxation under 

 

the REMIC Provisions.  The Servicer shall cause each REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the acquisition of title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least annually thereafter.  The Servicer shall make or cause to be made a written report of each such inspection.  Such reports shall be retained in the Mortgage Servicing File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Servicer to the Trustee upon request.  The Servicer shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same) on such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders and the Trust Fund.

With respect to each REO Property, the Servicer shall account separately for each REO Property with respect to all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of such REO Property.

The Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited, on a daily basis, within two Business Days of receipt, in the Collection Account, all revenues received with respect to each REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the related REO Property, including the cost of maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof and the fees of any managing agent acting on behalf of the Servicer.

The Servicer shall furnish to the Trustee, on each Servicer Remittance Date, an operating statement for each REO Property covering the operation of each REO Property for the previous month.  Such operating statement shall be accompanied by such other information as the Trustee shall reasonably request.

The Servicer shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as promptly as is practically consistent with protecting the Certificateholders’ interests.

Each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders.  If as of the date title to any REO Property was acquired by the Servicer there were outstanding unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to the REO Property, the Servicer, upon an REO Disposition of such REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances from proceeds received in connection with such REO Disposition.  The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any payment to the Servicer as provided above, shall be deposited in the Collection Account for distribution on the succeeding Servicer Remittance Date in accordance with Section 4.01 and Section 4.02.

Any REO Disposition shall be for cash only (unless changes in the REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale for other consideration and an Opinion of Counsel is obtained by the Servicer to the effect that such sale shall not cause any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC).

	
            Section 3.14
 	
            Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption and Substitution Agreements.
 

When a Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance or prospective conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of the related Mortgage Loan under any “due-on-sale” clause contained in the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note; provided, however, 

 

that the Servicer shall not exercise any such right if the “due-on-sale” clause, in the reasonable belief of the Servicer, is not enforceable under applicable law.  An Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the Servicer (which expense shall constitute a Servicing Advance) delivered to the Trustee and the Depositor to the foregoing effect shall conclusively establish the reasonableness of such belief.  In such event, the Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to enter into an assumption and modification agreement with the Person to whom such property has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such Person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable law or the Mortgage, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon.  If the foregoing is not permitted under applicable law, the Servicer is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such Person,
pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Note.  The Mortgage Loan, as assumed, shall conform in all respects to the requirements, representations and warranties of this Agreement.  The Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such assumption or substitution agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee (or the Custodian, as the case may be) the original copy of such assumption or substitution agreement (indicating the Mortgage File to which it relates) which copy shall be added by the Trustee (or the Custodian, as the case may be) to the related Mortgage File and which shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof.  The Servicer shall be responsible for recording any such assumption or substitution agreements.  In connection with any such assumption or substitution
agreement, the Monthly Payment on the related Mortgage Loan shall not be changed but shall remain as in effect immediately prior to the assumption or substitution, the stated maturity or outstanding principal amount of such Mortgage Loan shall not be changed nor shall any required monthly payments of principal or interest be deferred or forgiven.  Any fee collected by the Servicer for consenting to any such conveyance or entering into an assumption or substitution agreement shall be retained by or paid to the Servicer as additional servicing compensation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.

	
            Section 3.15
 	
            Notification of Adjustments.
 

On each Adjustment Date, the Servicer shall make Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments for each Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Rate Loan in compliance with the requirements of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note and Applicable Regulations.  The Servicer shall execute and deliver the notices required by each Mortgage and Mortgage Note and Applicable Regulations regarding Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments.  The Servicer also shall provide timely notification to the Trustee of all applicable data and information regarding such Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments and the Servicer’s methods of implementing such Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments.  Upon the discovery by the Servicer or the Trustee that the Servicer has failed to adjust or has incorrectly adjusted a Mortgage Interest Rate or a Monthly Payment pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage, the Servicer shall
deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account from its own funds the amount of any interest loss caused 

 

thereby without reimbursement therefor; provided, however, the Servicer shall be held harmless with respect to any Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments made by any servicer prior to the Servicer.

	
            Section 3.16
 	
            Optional Purchases of Mortgage Loans by Servicer.
 

The Servicer (or an affiliate of the Servicer) may, at its option, repurchase a Mortgage Loan or REO Property which becomes 120 or more days Delinquent or for which the Servicer has accepted a deed in lieu of foreclosure, during the period commencing on the first day of the calendar quarter succeeding the calendar quarter in which the Initial Delinquency Date occurred with respect to such Mortgage Loan and ending on the last Business Day of such calendar quarter.  If the Servicer (or an affiliate of the Servicer) does not exercise its purchase right with respect to a Mortgage Loan during the period specified in the preceding sentence, such Mortgage Loan shall thereafter again become eligible for purchase pursuant to the preceding sentence only after the Mortgage Loan ceases to be 120 days or more Delinquent and thereafter becomes 120 days Delinquent again.  The “Initial Delinquency
Date” of a Mortgage Loan shall mean the date on which the Mortgage Loan first became 120 days Delinquent.  Prior to repurchase pursuant to this Section 3.16, the Servicer shall be required to continue to make monthly advances pursuant to Section 4.07.  The Servicer shall not use any procedure in selecting Mortgage Loans to be repurchased which is materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders.  The Servicer shall purchase such (i) delinquent Mortgage Loan at a price equal to the Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan plus accrued interest thereon at the Mortgage Interest Rate from the date to which interest has last been paid to the Trust Fund to the date of purchase plus any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances or (ii) REO Property at its fair market value as determined in good faith by the Servicer.  Any such repurchase of a Mortgage Loan or REO Property pursuant to this Section 3.16 shall be accomplished by delivery to the Trustee for deposit in the
Distribution Account of the amount of the purchase price.  The Trustee shall immediately effectuate the conveyance of such delinquent Mortgage Loan or REO Property to the Servicer to the extent necessary, including the prompt delivery of all documentation to the Servicer, without recourse.

	
            Section 3.17
 	
            Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Files.
 

(a)        Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan (including any liquidation of such Mortgage Loan through foreclosure or otherwise, or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes), the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee (or the Custodian as the case may be) two executed copies of a completed “Request for Release” in the form of Exhibit E.  Upon receipt of such Request for Release of Documents, the Trustee (or the Custodian as the case may be) shall promptly release the related Mortgage File, in trust to (i) the Servicer, or (ii) such other party identified in the related Request for Release.  Upon any such payment in full, or the receipt of such notification that such funds have been placed in escrow, the Servicer shall direct the Trustee in writing
to execute an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of Mortgage without recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property relating to such 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 payment in full, it being understood and agreed that no expense incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be 

 

chargeable to the Collection Account.  In lieu of executing any such satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, the Servicer may prepare and submit to the Trustee a satisfaction (or assignment without recourse, if requested by the Person or Persons entitled thereto) in form for execution by the Trustee with all requisite information completed by the Servicer; in such event, the Trustee shall execute and acknowledge such satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, and deliver the same with the related Mortgage File, as aforesaid.

(b)        From time to time and as appropriate in the servicing of any Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, foreclosure or other comparable conversion of a Mortgage Loan or collection under any insurance policy relating to a Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall (except in the case of the payment or liquidation pursuant to which the related Mortgage File is released to an escrow agent or an employee, agent or attorney of the Trustee), upon written request of the Servicer and delivery to the Trustee (or the Custodian, as the case may be) of two executed copies of a “Request for Release” in the form of Exhibit E signed by a Servicing Officer, release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer and shall execute such documents as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings, including, without limitation, an assignment
without recourse, representation or warranty of the related Mortgage to the Servicer.  Such receipt shall obligate the Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Trustee (or the Custodian, as the case may be) when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a Request for Release evidencing such liquidation, the receipt shall be released by the Trustee (or the Custodian, as the case may be) to the Servicer.

(c)        Subject to Section 3.01, the Servicer shall have the right to accept applications of Mortgagors for consent to (i) partial releases of Mortgages, (ii) alterations, (iii) removal, demolition or division of properties subject to Mortgages and (iv) second mortgage subordination agreements.  No application for approval shall be considered by the Servicer unless:  (w) it has received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee (which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund) that such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution will not affect adversely the status of any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund as a REMIC or cause any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions;
(x) the provisions of the related Note and Mortgage have been complied with; (y) the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio and debt-to-income ratio after any release does not exceed the maximum Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio and debt-to-income ratio established in accordance with the underwriting standards of the Mortgage Loans; and (z) the lien priority of the related Mortgage is not affected.  Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Servicing Officer’s certificate setting forth the action proposed to be taken in respect of a particular Mortgage Loan and certifying that the criteria set forth in the immediately preceding sentence have been satisfied, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer the consent or partial release so requested by the Servicer.  A proposed form of consent or partial release, as the case may be, shall accompany any Servicing Officer’s certificate delivered by the Servicer pursuant to this paragraph.

	
            Section 3.18
 	
            Servicing Compensation.
 

As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain the amount of the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan (including REO 

 

Properties).  The Servicer shall be entitled to retain additional servicing compensation in the form of release fees, bad check charges, assumption fees, modification or extension fees, late payment charges, customary real estate referral fees or any other service-related fees, Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds not required to be deposited in the Collection Account and similar items, to the extent collected from Mortgagors.

	
            Section 3.19
 	
            Annual Statement as to Compliance.
 

(a)        The Servicer, at its own expense, will deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor, not later than March 15th of each calendar year commencing in 2006, a Servicing Officer’s certificate stating, as to each signer thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during such preceding calendar year (or such shorter period in the case of the first such report) and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers’ supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement for such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of all such obligations, specifying each such default known to such officers and the nature and status thereof including
the steps being taken by the Servicer to remedy such default.

(b)        Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and their receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable, from information contained therein, including the Servicer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

	
            Section 3.20
 	
            Annual Independent Certified Public Accountants’ Reports.
 

(a)        Not later than March 15th of each calendar year commencing in 2006, the Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants to furnish to the Trustee and the Depositor a report stating that (i) it has obtained a letter of representation regarding certain matters from the management of the Servicer which includes an assertion that the Servicer has complied with certain minimum residential mortgage loan servicing standards, identified in either the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers established by the Mortgage Bankers Association of America or the Audit Program for Mortgages serviced by Freddie Mac, with respect to the servicing of residential mortgage loans during the most recently completed calendar year and
(ii) on the basis of an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, such representation is fairly stated in all material respects, subject to such exceptions and other qualifications that may be appropriate.  Immediately upon receipt of such report, the Servicer shall furnish a copy of such report to the Trustee, the Depositor and each Rating Agency.  Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder upon request at the Servicer’s expense, provided that such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee.

(b)        Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and its receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable, from information contained therein, including the 

 

Servicer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

	
            Section 3.21
 	
            Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Mortgage Loans.
 

The Servicer shall provide to the Trustee, Certificateholders or Certificate Owners that are federally insured savings and loan associations, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of each of the foregoing (which, in the case of supervisory agents and examiners, may be required by applicable state and federal regulations) access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans, such access being afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it.

	
            Section 3.22
 	
            Commission Reporting.
 

(a)        The Trustee and the Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor in connection with satisfying the reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  The Trustee shall prepare and file (via the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System) on behalf of the Trust Fund any Forms 8-K and 10-K (and the Servicer shall sign any Form 10-K) customary for similar securities as required by the Exchange Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.

(b)        Each Form 8-K shall be filed by the Trustee within 15 days after each Distribution Date, with a copy of the statement to the Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto.  Prior to March 30th of each year (or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission), the Trustee shall file a Form 10-K, in substance as required by applicable law or applicable Security and Exchange Commission staff’s interpretations.  Such Form 10-K shall include as exhibits the Servicer’s annual statement of compliance described under Section 3.19 and the accountant’s report described under Section 3.20, in each case to the extent they have been timely delivered to the Trustee.  The Trustee shall
have no liability with respect to (a) any failure to properly prepare or file such periodic reports resulting from or relating to the Trustee’s inability or failure to obtain any information not resulting from its own negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith or (b) any inaccuracy in such periodic reports resulting from incorrect information provided to the Trustee by the Servicer in a Remittance Report or otherwise.  The Form 10-K shall also include a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit O-1 (the “Certification”), which shall be signed by the senior officer of the Servicer in charge of servicing.

(c)        In addition, the Trustee shall sign a certification (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit O-2) for the benefit of the Servicer and its officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain aspects of the Certification (the “Trustee Certification”) (provided, however, that the Trustee shall not undertake an analysis of the accountant’s report attached as an exhibit to the Form 10-K).  Such certification shall be delivered to the Servicer no later than the 20th day prior to the latest date on which the Form 10-K is permitted to be filed, without regard to 

 

extension (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) and the Servicer shall deliver the Certification to be filed to the Trustee no later than the 10th day prior to the latest date on which the Form 10-K is permitted to be filed, without regard to extension (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day).

In addition, (i) the Trustee shall, subject to the provisions of Sections 8.01 and 8.02 hereof, indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Servicer and each of its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon (a) a breach of the Trustee’s obligations under this Section 3.22(b), (b) the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith or (c) any material misstatement in the Trustee Certification and (ii) the Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Trustee and their respective officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments
and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon (a) the failure of the Servicer to timely deliver the Certification or (b) any material misstatement in the Certification.  If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Depositor, then (i)  the Trustee agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Depositor as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Depositor in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor on the one hand and the Trustee on the other in connection with  a breach of the Trustee’s obligations under this Section 3.22(b) or the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith and (ii) the Servicer agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Depositor as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Depositor in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
the relative fault of the Depositor on the one hand and the Servicer on the other in connection with  a breach of the Servicer’s obligations under this Section 3.22(b) or the Servicer’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.

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

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

(f)         To the extent that, following the Closing Date, the Depositor certifies that reports and certifications differing from those required under this Section 3.22 comply with the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, the Trustee and the Servicer hereby agree that they will reasonably cooperate to amend the provisions of this Section 3.22 in order to comply with such amended reporting requirements and such amendment of this Section 3.22.  Any such amendment may result in the reduction of the reports filed by the Depositor under the Exchange Act.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto shall not be obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant to this Section 3.22 that adversely affects its obligations and immunities under this Agreement.

 

 

	
            Section 3.23
 	
            Obligations of the Servicer in Respect of Compensating Interest.
 

Not later than the close of business on each Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account an amount (“Compensating Interest”) equal to the lesser of (A) the aggregate of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls on the Mortgage Loans for the related Distribution Date resulting from Principal Prepayments in full on the Mortgage Loans during the related Prepayment Period and (B) 50% of its aggregate Servicing Fee received in the related Collection Period.  Compensating Interest shall be applied to offset any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls on the Mortgage Loans.  The Servicer shall not have the right to reimbursement for any amounts remitted to the Trustee in respect of Compensating Interest.  Such amounts so remitted shall be included in the Available Funds and distributed therewith on the next Distribution Date.  The Servicer
shall not be obligated to pay Relief Act Interest Shortfalls.

	
            Section 3.24
 	
            Obligations of the Servicer in Respect of Mortgage Interest Rates and Monthly Payments.
 

In the event that a shortfall in any collection on or liability with respect to any Mortgage Loan results from or is attributable to adjustments to Mortgage Interest Rates, Monthly Payments or Principal Balances that were made by the Servicer in a manner not consistent with the terms of the related Mortgage Note and this Agreement, the Servicer, upon discovery or receipt of notice thereof, immediately shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account from its own funds the amount of any such shortfall and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor and any successor servicer in respect of any such liability.  Such indemnities shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement.

	
            Section 3.25
 	
            Investment of Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account.
 

(a)        The Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection Account (for purposes of this Section 3.25, an “Investment Account”), to invest the funds in such Investment Account in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the Trustee is the obligor thereon, and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Trustee is the obligor thereon.  All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand.  Any investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be
made in the name of the Trustee or the Servicer, as applicable (in its capacity as such) or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee.  The Trustee shall be entitled to sole possession (except with respect to investment direction of funds held in the Collection Account) over each such investment and the income thereon, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Trustee or its agent, together with any document of transfer necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Trustee or its nominee.  In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Trustee shall at the direction of the Servicer:

 

 

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

(y)        demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the Investment Account.

(b)        All income and gain realized from the investment of funds in the Collection Account shall be for the benefit of the Servicer.  The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such account immediately upon realization of such loss.

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

The Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in any Account held by the Trustee resulting from any investment loss on any Permitted Investment included therein (except to the extent that the Trustee is the obligor and has defaulted thereon).

	
            Section 3.26
 	
            Liability of Servicer; Indemnification.
 

(a)        Subject to clause (b) below and Section 6.03, the Servicer (except the Trustee if it is required to succeed the Servicer hereunder) indemnifies and holds the Trustee, the Seller, the Depositor and each Certificateholder harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Trustee, the Depositor and any Certificateholder may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Servicer to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the Servicing Standards.  The Servicer shall immediately notify the Trustee, the Depositor and each Certificateholder if a claim is made that may result in such claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees or related costs, judgments, or any other costs, fees
and expenses, and the Servicer shall assume (with the consent of the Trustee) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against the Servicer, the Trustee, the Depositor and/or Certificateholder in respect of such claim.  The provisions of this Section 3.26 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the termination of the Servicer or the Trustee and the payment of the outstanding Certificates.

(b)        None of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, or any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer shall be under any 

 

liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer or any such Person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or against any specific liability imposed on the Servicer for a breach of the Servicing Standard, or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of its respective willful misfeasance, bad faith, fraud or negligence in the performance of its duties or by reasons of negligent disregard of its respective obligations or duties hereunder.

The Depositor, the Servicer, the Seller and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer, may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any appropriate Person with respect to any matters arising hereunder.  The Depositor, the Servicer, the Seller, and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action incurred by reason of its respective misfeasance, bad faith, fraud or negligence, a breach of a representation or warranty hereunder or (in the case of the Servicer) a breach of the
Servicing Standard in the performance of its respective duties or by reason of negligent disregard of its respective obligations or duties hereunder.  Neither the Depositor, the Seller nor the Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action is related to its respective duties under this Agreement and in its opinion does not expose it to any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer may in its discretion undertake any action related to its obligations hereunder which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder.

	
            Section 3.27
 	
            Reports of Foreclosure and Abandonment of Mortgaged Properties.
 

On or before the last day of February of each year beginning in 2006, the Servicer shall file the reports of foreclosure and abandonment of any Mortgaged Property required by Section 6050J of the Code with the Internal Revenue Service and provide an Officer’s Certificate certifying its compliance with this Section 3.27 to the Trustee.  The reports from the Servicer shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by such Section 6050J.

	
            Section 3.28
 	
            Protection of Assets.
 

(a)        Except for transactions and activities entered into in connection with the securitization that is the subject of this Agreement, the Trust is not authorized and has no power to:

	
            (1)
 	
            borrow money or issue debt;
 	
             

	
            (2)
 	
            merge with another entity, reorganize, liquidate or sell assets; or
 

 

 

 

	
            (3)
 	
            engage in any business or activities.
 

(b)        Each party to this Agreement agrees that it will not file an involuntary bankruptcy petition against the Trustee or the Trust Fund or initiate any other form of insolvency proceeding until after the Certificates have been paid.

	
            Section 3.29
 	
            Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.
 

No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain with itself a separate, segregated trust account titled, “Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as Trustee, in trust for the registered Holders of 2005-CB4 Trust, C-BASS Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2005-CB4.

On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount payable to the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates or the Class B Certificates, the Trustee has been directed by the Class X/N Certificateholders to, and therefore shall, deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account the amounts described in Section 4.02(B)(v) and (vi), rather than distributing such amounts to the Class X/N Certificateholders.  On each such Distribution Date, the Trustee shall hold all such amounts for the benefit of the Holders of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class B Certificates, and shall distribute such amounts to the Holders of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and/or the Class B Certificates in the amounts and priorities set forth in Section 4.02.

For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class X/N Certificateholders will be deemed to be the owners of the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account and all amounts deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account (other than amounts paid to the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Amount by the Cap Contracts) shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC 10 to the Holders of the Class X/N Certificates.  Upon the termination of the Trust, or the payment in full of the Offered Certificates and the Class B Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall be released by the Trust and distributed to the Class X/N Certificateholders or their designees.  The Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall be part of the Trust but not part of any REMIC and any payments to the Holders of the Offered Certificates or the Class B Certificates
of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts shall not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860(G)(a)(1).

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

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

 

 

For federal tax return and information reporting, the value of the right of the (i) Group I Certificates, (ii) Class AF-1 Certificates and (iii) Mezzanine Certificates to receive payments from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account in respect of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount shall be (i) $13,166.67, (ii) $13,166.67 and (iii) $13,166.66, respectively.

	
            Section 3.30
 	
            Advance Facility.
 

(a)        The Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into a financing or other facility (any such arrangement, an “Advance Facility”), the documentation for which complies with Section 3.30(e) below, under which (1) the Servicer assigns or pledges its rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for any or all Advances and/or Servicing Advances to (i) a Person, which may be a special-purpose bankruptcy-remote entity (an “SPV”), (ii) a Person, which may simultaneously assign or pledge such rights to an SPV or (iii) a lender (a “Lender”), which, in the case of any Person or SPV of the type described in either of the preceding clauses (i) or (ii), may directly or through other assignees and/or pledgees, assign or pledge such rights to a Person, which may include a trustee acting on behalf of holders of debt instruments
(any such Person or any such Lender, an “Advance Financing Person”), and/or (2) an Advance Financing Person agrees to fund all the Advances and/or Servicing Advances required to be made by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement.  No consent of the Trustee, Certificateholders or any other party shall be required before the Servicer may enter into an Advance Facility nor shall the Trustee or the Certificateholders be a third party beneficiary of any obligation of an Advance Financing Person to the Servicer. Notwithstanding the existence of any Advance Facility under which an Advance Financing Person agrees to fund Advances and/or Servicing Advances, (A) the Servicer (i) shall remain obligated pursuant to this Agreement to make Advances and/or Servicing Advances pursuant to and as required by this Agreement and (ii) shall not be relieved of such obligations by virtue of such Advance Facility and (B) neither the Advance Financing Person nor any Servicer’s Assignee (as
hereinafter defined) shall have any right to proceed against or otherwise contact any Mortgagor for the purpose of collecting any payment that may be due with respect to any related Mortgage Loan or enforcing any covenant of such Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan documents.

(b)        If the Servicer enters into an Advance Facility, the Servicer and the related Advance Financing Person shall deliver to the Trustee at the address set forth in Section 11.05 hereof a written notice (an “Advance Facility Notice”), stating (a) the identity of the Advance Financing Person and (b) the identity of the Person (the “Servicer’s Assignee”) that will, subject to Section 3.30(c) hereof, have the right to make withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 hereof to reimburse previously unreimbursed Advances and/or Servicing Advances (“Advance Reimbursement Amounts”).  Advance Reimbursement Amounts (i) shall consist solely of amounts in respect of Advances and/or Servicing Advances for which the Servicer would be permitted to reimburse itself in accordance with Section 3.05 hereof,
assuming the Servicer had made the related Advance(s) and/or Servicing Advance(s) and (ii) shall not consist of amounts payable to a successor Servicer in accordance with Section 3.05 hereof to the extent permitted under Section 3.30(e) below.

(c)        Notwithstanding the existence of an Advance Facility, the Servicer, on behalf of the Advance Financing Person and the Servicer’s Assignee, shall be entitled to receive reimbursements of Advances and/or Servicing Advances in accordance with Section 3.05 hereof, 

 

which entitlement may be terminated by the Advance Financing Person pursuant to a written notice to the Trustee in the manner set forth in Section 11.05 hereof.  Upon receipt of such written notice, the Servicer shall no longer be entitled to receive reimbursement for any Advance Reimbursement Amounts and the Servicer’s Assignee shall immediately have the right to receive from the Collection Account all Advance Reimbursement Amounts.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, (i) the Servicer and/or the Servicer’s Assignee shall only be entitled to reimbursement of Advance Reimbursement Amounts hereunder from withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 of this Agreement and shall not otherwise be entitled to make withdrawals of, or receive, Advance Reimbursement Amounts that shall be deposited in the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.04(b)
hereof, and (ii) none of the Trustee or the Certificateholders shall have any right to, or otherwise be entitled to, receive any Advance Reimbursement Amounts to which the Servicer or Servicer’s Assignee, as applicable, shall be entitled pursuant to Section 3.05 hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Trustee or the Certificateholders shall have any right to set off against Advance Reimbursement Amounts hereunder.  An Advance Facility may be terminated by the joint written direction of the Servicer and the related Advance Financing Person.  Written notice of such termination shall be delivered to the Trustee in the manner set forth in Section 11.05 hereof.  None of the Depositor or the Trustee shall, as a result of the existence of any Advance Facility, have any additional duty or liability with respect to the calculation or payment of any Advance Reimbursement Amount, nor, as a result of the existence of any Advance Facility, shall the Depositor or the Trustee have
any additional responsibility to track or monitor the administration of the Advance Facility or the payment of Advance Reimbursement Amounts to the Servicer’s Assignee.  The Servicer shall indemnify the Depositor, the Trustee, any successor Servicer and the Trust Fund for any claim, loss, liability or damage resulting from any claim by the related Advance Financing Person, except to the extent that such claim, loss, liability or damage resulted from or arose out of negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct on the part of the Depositor, the Trustee or any successor Servicer, as the case may be, or failure by the successor Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, to remit funds as required by this Agreement or the commission of an act or omission to act by the successor Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, and the passage of any applicable cure or grace period, such that an Event of Default under this Agreement occurs or such entity is subject to termination for
cause under this Agreement.  The Servicer shall maintain and provide to any successor Servicer and, upon request, the Trustee a detailed accounting on a loan-by-loan basis as to amounts advanced by, pledged or assigned to, and reimbursed to any Advance Financing Person. The successor Servicer shall be entitled to rely on any such information provided by the predecessor Servicer, and the successor Servicer shall not be liable for any errors in such information.

	
            (d)
 	
            [Reserved].
 

(e)        As between a predecessor Servicer and its Advance Financing Person, on the one hand, and a successor Servicer and its Advance Financing Person, if any, on the other hand, Advance Reimbursement Amounts on a loan-by-loan basis with respect to each Mortgage Loan as to which an Advance and/or Servicing Advance shall have been made and be outstanding shall be allocated on a “first-in, first out” basis. In the event the Servicer’s Assignee shall have received some or all of an Advance Reimbursement Amount related to Advances and/or Servicing Advances that were made by a Person other than such predecessor Servicer or its related Advance Financing Person in error, then such Servicer’s Assignee shall be required to 

 

remit any portion of such Advance Reimbursement Amount to each Person entitled to such portion of such Advance Reimbursement Amount.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall remain entitled to be reimbursed by the Advance Financing Person for all Advances and/or Servicing Advances funded by the Servicer to the extent the related Advance Reimbursement Amounts have not been assigned or pledged to such Advance Financing Person or Servicer’s Assignee.

(f)         For purposes of any Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer made pursuant to Section 4.07(d), any Nonrecoverable Advance referred to therein may have been made by such Servicer or any predecessor Servicer. In making its determination that any Advance or Servicing Advance theretofore made has become a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Servicer shall apply the same criteria in making such determination regardless of whether such Advance or Servicing Advance shall have been made by the Servicer or any predecessor Servicer.

(g)        Any amendment to this Section 3.30 or to any other provision of this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an Advance Facility as described generally in this Section 3.30, including amendments to add provisions relating to a successor Servicer, may be entered into by the Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicer without the consent of any Certificateholder, provided such amendment complies with Section 11.01 hereof.  All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of each party hereto of any such amendment shall be borne solely by the Servicer.  The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that:  (a) the Advances and/or Servicing Advances financed by and/or pledged to an Advance Financing Person under any Advance Facility are obligations owed to the Servicer payable only from the cash
flows and proceeds received under this Agreement for reimbursement of Advances and/or Servicing Advances only to the extent provided herein, and the Trustee and the Trust are not, as a result of the existence of any Advance Facility, obligated or liable to repay any Advances and/or Servicing Advances financed by the Advance Financing Person; (b) the Servicer will be responsible for remitting to the Advance Financing Person the applicable amounts collected by it as reimbursement for Advances and/or Servicing Advances funded by the Advance Financing Person, subject to the provisions of this Agreement; and (c) the Trustee shall not have any responsibility to track or monitor the administration of the financing arrangement between the Servicer and any Advance Financing Person.

(ii)         The REMIC 1 Sub WAC Allocation Percentage of all Realized Losses shall be applied after all distributions have been made on each Distribution Date first, so as to keep the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC 1 Regular Interest ending with the designation “GRP” equal to 0.01% of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group; second, to each REMIC 1 Regular Interest ending with the designation “SUB,” so that the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each such REMIC 1 Regular Interest is equal to 0.01% of the excess of (x) the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group over (y) the current Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A Certificate in the related Loan Group (except that if any such excess is a larger number than in the
preceding distribution period, the least amount of Realized Losses shall be applied to such REMIC 1 Regular Interests such that the REMIC 1 Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained); and third, any remaining Realized Losses shall be allocated to REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1XX.

(c)        Special Hazard Losses will be allocated as described above, except that if the aggregate amount of such losses, as of any date of determination, exceeds the greatest of (i) 1.0% of the Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, (ii) two times the amount of the Principal Balance of the largest Mortgage Loan as of the date of determination and (iii) an amount equal to the current Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans in the largest zip-code concentration in the State of California as of the date of determination, such excess losses will be allocated among all the outstanding Classes of Certificates, including the Class B-2 Interest, the Class B-3 Interest, the Class B-4 Interest and the Class X/N Interest, pro rata, based on their respective Certificate Principal Balances
or Notional Amount, as applicable.

            Section 4.07
 	
            Remittance Reports; Advances.
 

(a)        On the second Business Day following each Determination Date but in no event less than four Business Days prior to the related Distribution Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee by telecopy (or by such other means as the Servicer and the Trustee may agree from time to time) a Remittance Report with respect to the related Distribution Date.  On the same date, the Servicer shall forward to the Trustee by overnight mail a computer readable magnetic tape or diskette or in such other medium as may be agreed between the Servicer and 

 

the Trustee containing the information set forth in such Remittance Report with respect to the related Distribution Date.  Not later than the close of business New York time on the Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee in addition to the information provided on the Remittance Report, such other information reasonably available to it with respect to the Mortgage Loans as the Trustee may reasonably request or order in order for the Trustee to perform the calculations necessary to make the distributions contemplated by Section 4.01, 4.02 and 4.03 and to prepare the statements to Certificateholders contemplated by Section 4.06.  The Trustee shall not be responsible to recompute, recalculate or verify any information provided to it by the Servicer.

(b)        The amount of Advances to be made by the Servicer for any Distribution Date shall equal, subject to Section 4.07(d), (i) the aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (net of the related Servicing Fee and other than the portion of the Monthly Payment representing principal on any second lien Mortgage Loan), due during the related Collection Period in respect of the Actuarial Mortgage Loans, which Monthly Payments were delinquent on a contractual basis as of the close of business on the related Determination Date and (ii) with respect to each REO Property, which REO Property was acquired during or prior to the related Prepayment Period and as to which such REO Property an REO Disposition did not occur during the related Prepayment Period, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of only the interest portion of the Monthly Payments (net of the
related Servicing Fee) that would have been due on the related Due Date in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, over the net income from such REO Property deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.13 for distribution on such Distribution Date.  For purposes of the preceding sentence, the Monthly Payment on each Balloon Mortgage Loan with a delinquent Balloon Payment is equal to the assumed monthly payment that would have been due on the related Due Date based on the original principal amortization schedule for the such Balloon Mortgage Loan.

On or before the close of business New York time on the Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit in immediately available funds to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties for the related Distribution Date either (i) from its own funds or (ii) from the Collection Account, to the extent of funds held therein for future distribution (in which case it will cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of the Collection Account that amounts held for future distribution have been, as permitted by this Section 4.07, used by the Servicer in discharge of any such Advance) or (iii) in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of Advances to be made by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.
In addition, the Servicer shall have the right to reimburse itself for any Advances previously made from the Collection Account, to the extent of funds held therein for future distribution.  Any amounts held for future distribution and so used shall be appropriately reflected in the Servicer’s records and replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on or before the next Distribution Date to the extent that the Available Funds for the related Distribution Date (determined without regard to Advances to be made on the Servicer Remittance Date) shall be less than the total amount that would be distributed to the Classes of Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.01 and 4.02 on such Distribution Date if such amounts held for future distributions had not been so used to make Advances.  The Trustee will provide notice to the Servicer by telecopy by the close of business on any Servicer Remittance Date in the event that the amount remitted by the Servicer to the

 

Trustee on such date is less than the Advances required to be made by the Servicer for the related Distribution Date, as set forth in the related Remittance Report.

(c)        The obligation of the Servicer to make such Advances is mandatory, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject to (d) below, and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property, shall continue until the earlier of such time as such Mortgage Loan is paid in full by the Mortgagor or disposed of by the Trust, or until the recovery of all Liquidation Proceeds thereon.

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

            The Certificates.
 

Each of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates, the Class B Certificates, the Class N Certificates, the Class X Certificates and the Residual Certificates shall be substantially in the forms annexed hereto as exhibits, and shall, on original issue, be executed by the Trustee and authenticated and delivered by the Certificate Registrar to or upon the receipt of a Written Order to Authenticate from the Depositor concurrently with the sale and assignment to the Trustee of the Trust Fund.  Each Class of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class B Certificates shall be initially evidenced by one or more Certificates representing a Percentage Interest with a minimum dollar (or notional amount) denomination of $25,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof.  The Class N, Class X and Residual Certificates are issuable only in minimum Percentage Interests of 10%.

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 Certificate Registrar substantially in the form provided for herein, and such authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.  All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.  Subject to Section 5.02(c), the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class B Certificates shall be Book-Entry Certificates.  The Class N, Class X and Residual Certificates shall not be Book-Entry Certificates but shall be issued in fully registered certificate form.

            Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
 

(a)        The Certificate Registrar shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee 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.  The Trustee as Certificate Registrar shall be subject to the same standards of care, limitations on liability and rights to indemnity as the Trustee, and the provisions of Sections 8.01, 8.02, 8.03, 8.04, 8.05, 8.14 and 8.15 shall apply to the Certificate Registrar to the same extent as they apply to the Trustee.  Any Certificate Registrar appointed
in accordance with this Section 5.02(a) may at any time resign by giving at least 30 days’ advance written notice of resignation to the Trustee, the Servicer and the Depositor, such resignation to become effective upon appointment of a successor Certificate Registrar.

 

 

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 and, in the case of a Residual Certificate, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same 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 the Certificate Registrar shall 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)        Upon original issuance, the Book-Entry Certificates shall be issued in the form of one or more typewritten certificates, to be delivered to the Depository, the initial Depository, by, or on behalf of, the Depositor; or to, and deposited with the Certificate Custodian, on behalf of the Depository, if directed to do so pursuant to instructions from the Depository.  Except as provided in paragraph (c) below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all times:  (i) registration of such Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership and transfers of such Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of registration of
such Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee shall for all purposes deal with the Depository as representative of the Certificate Owners of the Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of Holders under this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such representative shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; (vi) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to indirect participating firms and Persons shown on the books of such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners; and (vii) the direct participants of the
Depository shall have no rights under this Agreement under or with respect to any of the Certificates held on their behalf by the Depository, and the Depository may be treated by the Trustee and its agents, employees, officers and directors as the absolute owner of the Certificates for all purposes whatsoever.

All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owners.  Each Depository Participant shall only transfer Book Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners that it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s normal procedures.  The parties hereto are hereby 

 

authorized to execute a Letter of Representations with the Depository or take such other action as may be necessary or desirable to register a Book-Entry Certificate to the Depository.

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

(d)        Except with respect to the initial transfer of the Private Certificates by the Depositor, 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 Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with the 1933 Act and laws.  In the event of any such transfer, (i) unless such transfer is made in reliance upon Rule 144A (as evidenced by the investment letter delivered to the Certificate Registrar, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-2) under the 1933 Act, if the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor shall require a written Opinion of Counsel (which may be in-house counsel) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Certificate Registrar 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 Certificate Registrar or the Depositor or (ii) the Certificate Registrar shall require the transferor to execute a transferor certificate (in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit L) and the transferee to execute an investment letter (in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-1) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar certifying to the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar the facts surrounding such transfer, which investment letter shall not be an expense of the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor.

If a transfer of an Ownership Interest in the Private Certificates is to be made without registration under the 1933 Act (other than in connection with the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate of the Depositor), then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) a certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and a certificate

 

 

 

 

 

from such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee (which in the case of the Book-Entry Certificates, the Certificateholder and the Certificateholder’s prospective transferee shall be deemed to have represented such certification), to the effect that, among other things, the transfer is being made to a qualified institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act in accordance with Rule 144A or in the manner set forth above and in the form of a Definitive Certificate.  The Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Certificate Registrar 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.

If any Certificate Owner that is required under this Section 5.02(d) to transfer its Book-Entry Certificates in the form of Definitive Certificates, (i) notifies the Trustee of such transfer or exchange and (ii) transfers such Book-Entry Certificates to the Trustee, in its capacity as such, through the book-entry facilities of the Depository, then the Trustee shall decrease the balance of such Book-Entry Certificates or, the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts to cause the surrender to the Certificate Registrar of such Book-Entry Certificates by the Depository, and thereupon, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver to such Certificate Owner or its designee one or more Definitive Certificates in authorized denominations and with a like aggregate principal amount.

Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.02(d) governing registration of transfer and exchange, Private Certificates (i) held as Definitive Certificates may be transferred in the form of Book-Entry Certificates in reliance on Rule 144A under the 1933 Act to one or more “qualified institutional buyers” that are acquiring such Definitive Certificates for their own accounts or for the accounts of other “qualified institutional buyers” and (ii) held as Definitive Certificates by a “qualified institutional buyer” for its own account or for the account of another “qualified institutional buyer” may be exchanged for Book-Entry Certificates, in each case upon surrender of such Private Certificates for registration of transfer or exchange at the offices of the Trustee maintained for such purpose. Whenever any such Private Certificates are so surrendered
for transfer or exchange, either the Trustee shall increase the balance of the related Book-Entry Certificates or the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver the Book-Entry Certificates for which such Private Certificates were transferred or exchanged, as necessary and appropriate. No Holder of Definitive Certificates other than a “qualified institutional buyer” holding such Certificates for its own account or for the account of another “qualified institutional buyer” may exchange such Private Certificates for Book-Entry Certificates. Further, any Certificate Owner of a Book-Entry Certificate other than any such “qualified institutional buyers” shall notify the Trustee of its status as such and shall transfer such Book-Entry Certificate to the Trustee, through the book-entry facilities of the Depository, whereupon, and also upon surrender to the Trustee of such Book-Entry Certificate by the Depository, (which surrender the Trustee shall use
reasonable efforts to cause to occur), the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver to such Certificate Owner or such Certificate Owner’s nominee one or more Definitive Certificates in authorized denominations and with a like aggregate principal amount.

No transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the Certificate Registrar shall have received either (i) a representation from the transferee of such Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor, (such requirement is satisfied only by the Certificate Registrar’s receipt of a 

 

representation letter from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto, as appropriate), to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan 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) (except in the case of a Residual, Class X or Class N Certificate) 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) (except in the case of a Residual Certificate) in the case of any such ERISA Restricted Certificate presented for registration in the name of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), or a trustee of any such plan or any other person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement or using such plan’s or arrangement’s assets, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, to the effect that the purchase and holding of such ERISA Restricted Certificate will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA and the Code and will not subject the Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement or to any liability.  For purposes of the preceding sentence, the representation in (i) or (ii) shall be deemed to have been made to the Certificate
Registrar by the acceptance by a Certificate Owner of the beneficial interest in any such Class of ERISA Restricted Certificates, unless the Certificate Registrar shall have received from the transferee an alternative representation acceptable in form and substance to the Depositor.  Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate to or on behalf of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA in violation of this paragraph as described above shall be void and of no effect.

Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to have irrevocably appointed the Depositor or its designee as its attorney-in-fact to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (v) below and to execute all instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such sale, and the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:

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

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

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

 

 

A.         an affidavit in the form of Exhibit K hereto from the proposed transferee to the effect that, among other things, such transferee is a Permitted Transferee and that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate that is the subject of the proposed transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee; and

B.         a covenant of the proposed transferee to the effect that the proposed transferee agrees to be bound by and to abide by the transfer restrictions applicable to the Residual Certificates.

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

(v)        If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then the Certificate Registrar shall have the right but not the obligation, without notice to the Holder of such Residual Certificate or any other Person having an Ownership Interest therein, to notify the Depositor to arrange for the sale of such Residual Certificate.  The proceeds of such sale, net of commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Depositor or its affiliates in connection with such sale), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Trustee to the previous Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee, except that in the event that the Trustee determines that the Holder of such Residual Certificate may be
liable for any amount due under this Section or any other provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee may withhold a corresponding amount from such remittance as security for such claim.  The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (v) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Trustee and it shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.

(vi)        If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then the 

 

Trustee 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 Trustee shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for providing such information from the person to whom it is provided.

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 Certificate Registrar, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, (i) written notification from each Rating Agency that the removal of the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Section will not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its rating of the Certificates and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such removal will not cause any REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC.

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

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

	
            Section 5.03
 	
            Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
 

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

	
            Section 5.04
 	
            Persons Deemed Owners.
 

The Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent of the Servicer, 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 4.01 and Section 4.02 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Servicer, the Trust, the Trustee nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

 

	
            Section 5.05
 	
            Appointment of Paying Agent.
 

The Paying Agent shall make distributions to Certificateholders from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 4.01 and Section 4.02 and shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Trustee.  The duties of the Paying Agent may include the obligation 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 Trustee.  The Trustee may appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent, which appointment shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Rating Agencies.  The Trustee as Paying Agent shall be
subject to the same standards of care, limitations on liability and rights to indemnity as the Trustee, and the provisions of Sections 8.01, 8.02, 8.03, 8.04, 8.05, 8.14 and 8.15 shall apply to the Paying Agent to the same extent as they apply to the Trustee.  Any Paying Agent appointed in accordance with this Section 5.02(a) may at any time resign by giving at least 30 days’ advance written notice of resignation to the Trustee, the Servicer and the Depositor, such resignation to become effective upon appointment of a successor Paying Agent.

            Section 6.01
 	
            Liability of the Seller, the Servicer and the Depositor.
 

The Seller and the Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Seller or Servicer, as the case may be, herein.  The Depositor shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Depositor.

	
            Section 6.02
 	
            Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, the Seller, the Servicer or the Depositor.
 

Any entity into which the Seller, the Servicer or the Depositor may be merged or consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Seller, the Servicer or the Depositor shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the business of the Seller, the Servicer or the Depositor, shall be the successor of the Seller, the Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor Servicer shall satisfy all the requirements of Section 7.02 with respect to the qualifications of a successor Servicer.

	
            Section 6.03
 	
            Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others.
 

Neither the Servicer, the Depositor nor any of the directors or officers or employees or agents of the Servicer or the Depositor shall be under any liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action by the Servicer in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer, the Depositor or any such Person against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties of the Servicer or the Depositor or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties of the Servicer or the Depositor hereunder; provided, further, that this provision shall not be construed to entitle the Servicer to indemnity in the event that amounts advanced by the Servicer to retire any senior lien exceed Liquidation Proceeds (in excess of related liquidation expenses) realized with respect to the related Mortgage Loan.  The Servicer, the Depositor and any director or officer or employee or agent of the Servicer or the Depositor may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.  The Servicer, the Depositor and any director or officer or employee or agent of the Servicer or the Depositor shall be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates,
other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of its reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder.  The Servicer or the Depositor may undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement, and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the 

 

Certificateholders hereunder.  In such event, the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust and the Servicer or the Depositor shall be entitled to pay such expenses from the proceeds of the Trust or to be reimbursed therefor pursuant to Section 3.05 upon presentation to the Trustee of documentation of such expenses, costs and liabilities.  The Servicer’s right to indemnity or reimbursement pursuant to this Section shall survive any resignation or termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section 6.04 or 7.01 with respect to any losses, expenses, costs or liabilities arising prior to such resignation or termination (or arising from events that occurred prior to such resignation or termination).  This paragraph shall apply to the Servicer and the Depositor solely in their capacities as Servicer and
Depositor hereunder and in no other capacities.

	
            Section 6.04
 	
            Servicer Not to Resign.
 

Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 and the second paragraph of Section 7.02, Section 6.02 and the second paragraph of this Section 6.04, the Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (i) upon determination that the performance of its obligations or duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it or its subsidiaries or Affiliates, the other activities of the Servicer so causing such a conflict being of a type and nature carried on by the Servicer or its subsidiaries or Affiliates at the date of this Agreement or (ii) upon satisfaction of the following conditions:  (a) the Servicer has proposed a successor servicer to the Trustee in writing and such proposed successor servicer is reasonably acceptable to the Trustee; and (b)
each Rating Agency shall have delivered a letter to the Trustee prior to the appointment of the successor servicer stating that the proposed appointment of such successor servicer as Servicer hereunder will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the then current rating of the Regular Certificates or the ratings that are in effect; provided, however, that no such resignation by the Servicer shall become effective until such successor servicer or, in the case of (i) above, the Trustee shall have assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder or the Trustee shall have designated a successor servicer in accordance with Section 7.02.  Any such resignation shall not relieve the Servicer of responsibility for any of the obligations specified in Sections 7.01 and 7.02 as obligations that survive the resignation or termination of the Servicer.  Any such determination
permitting the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to clause (i) above shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee.  Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary which may be set forth above, the Trustee and the Depositor hereby specifically (i) consent to the pledge and assignment by the Servicer of all the Servicer’s right, title and interest in, to and under this Agreement to the Servicing Rights Pledgee, for the benefit of certain lenders, and (ii) provided that no Servicer Event of Termination exists, agree that upon delivery to the Trustee by the Servicing Rights Pledgee of a letter signed by the Servicer whereunder the Servicer shall resign as Servicer under this Agreement, the Trustee shall appoint the Servicing Rights Pledgee or its designee as successor Servicer, provided that at the time of such appointment, the Servicing Rights Pledgee or such designee meets the requirements of a successor Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02(a) and agrees to be subject to the terms of this Agreement.  If,
pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the Servicer are transferred to a successor, the entire amount of the Servicing Fee and 

 

other compensation payable to the Servicer pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable to such successor.

	
            Section 6.05
 	
            Delegation of Duties.
 

In the ordinary course of business, the Servicer at any time may delegate any of its duties hereunder to any Person, including any of its Affiliates, who agrees to conduct such duties in accordance with standards comparable to those set forth in Section 3.01.  Such delegation shall not relieve the Servicer of its liabilities and responsibilities with respect to such duties and shall not constitute a resignation within the meaning of Section 6.04.  The Servicer shall provide the Trustee and the Rating Agencies with 60 days prior written notice prior to the delegation of any of its duties to any Person other than any of the Servicer’s Affiliates or their respective successors and assigns.

            Servicer Events of Termination.

in writing to the Servicer and the Trustee, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer as servicer under this Agreement.  Any such notice to the Servicer shall also be given to each Rating Agency, the Depositor and the Seller.  On or after the receipt by the Servicer and the Trustee of such written notice, all authority and power of the 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 pursuant to and under this Section; and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of each Mortgage Loan and Related Documents or otherwise.  The Servicer
agrees to cooperate with the Trustee (or the applicable successor Servicer) in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the delivery to the successor Servicer of all documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the Servicer’s functions under this Agreement within ten Business Days subsequent to such notice, the transfer within one Business Day subsequent to such notice to the Trustee (or the applicable successor Servicer) for the administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the Servicer and to be deposited by it in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, any REO Account or any Escrow Account or that have been deposited by the Servicer in such accounts or thereafter received by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property received by the Servicer.

(a)        Within 90 days of the time the Servicer and the Trustee receives a notice of termination or resignation pursuant to Section 7.01 or 6.04, the Trustee (or such other successor Servicer as is approved in accordance with this Agreement) shall be the successor in all respects to the 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 Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof arising on and after its succession.  As compensation therefor, the Trustee (or such other successor Servicer) shall be entitled to such compensation as the 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 Servicer or (ii) if the Trustee is legally unable so to act, the Trustee shall appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance institution, bank or other mortgage loan or home equity loan servicer having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 as the successor to the Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder; provided, that the appointment of any such successor Servicer will not result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the ratings assigned to the Certificates or the ratings that are in effect by the Rating Agencies as evidenced by a letter to such effect from the Rating Agencies.  Pending appointment of a successor to the 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 Servicer would otherwise have received pursuant to Section 3.18 (or such other compensation as the Trustee and such successor shall agree, not to exceed the Servicing Fee).  The successor servicer shall be entitled to withdraw from the Collection Account all costs and expenses associated with the transfer of the servicing to the successor servicer.  The appointment of a successor servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Servicer which may have arisen under this Agreement prior to its termination as Servicer to pay any deductible under an insurance policy pursuant to Section 3.12 or to indemnify the parties indicated in Section 3.26 pursuant to the terms thereof, nor shall any successor Servicer be liable for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Servicer or for any
breach by such Servicer of any of its representations or warranties contained herein or in any related document or agreement.  The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

In the event of a Servicer Event of Termination, notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, the Trustee and the Depositor hereby agree that upon delivery to the Trustee by the Servicing Rights Pledgee of a letter signed by the Servicer within ten Business Days of when notification of such event shall have been provided to the Trustee, whereunder the Servicer shall resign as Servicer under this Agreement, the Servicing Rights Pledgee or its designee shall be appointed as successor Servicer (provided that at the time of such appointment the Servicing Rights Pledgee or such designee meets the requirements of a successor Servicer set forth above) and the Servicing Rights Pledgee agrees to be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

(b)        Any successor, including the Trustee, to the Servicer as servicer shall during the term of its service as servicer continue to service and administer the Mortgage Loans 

 

for the benefit of Certificateholders, and maintain in force a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as Servicer hereunder and a Fidelity Bond in respect of its officers, employees and agents to the same extent as the Servicer is so required pursuant to Section 3.12.

	
            Section 7.03
 	
            Waiver of Defaults.
 

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

	
            Section 7.04
 	
            Notification to Certificateholders.
 

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

(b)        No later than 60 days after the occurrence of any event which constitutes or which, with notice or a lapse of time or both, would constitute a Servicer Event of Termination for five Business Days after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee becomes aware of the occurrence of such an event, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders notice of such occurrence unless such default or Servicer Event of Termination shall have been waived or cured.  Such notice shall be given to the Rating Agencies promptly after any such occurrence.

	
            Section 7.05
 	
            Survivability of Servicer Liabilities.
 

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

 

 

ARTICLE VIII

 

THE TRUSTEE

	
            Section 8.01
 	
            Duties of Trustee.
 

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

The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform on their face to the requirements of this Agreement to the extent specified herein; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Servicer, the Seller or the Depositor hereunder.  If any such instrument is found not to conform in any material respect to the requirements of this Agreement, the Trustee shall notify the Certificateholders of such
instrument in the event that the Trustee, after so requesting, does not receive a satisfactorily corrected instrument.

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

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

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

(iii)        the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Majority 

 

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

(iv)        the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any failure by the Servicer to comply with the obligations of the Servicer referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 7.01(a) or any Servicer Event of Termination unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the applicable Corporate Trust Office obtains actual knowledge of such failure or the Trustee receives written notice of such failure from the Servicer or the Majority Certificateholders.  In the absence of such receipt of such notice, the Trustee may conclusively assume that there is no Servicer Event of Termination.

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

The Trustee shall not have any duty (A) to see any recording, filing, or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (B) to see to any insurance or (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Trust Fund other than from funds available in the Distribution Account and to the extent set forth herein.

	
            Section 8.02
 	
            Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
 	
             

	
            (a)
 	
            Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
 
				

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

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

(iii)        the Trustee shall not 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 the Certificateholders pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; the right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of any such act;

(iv)        the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;

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

(vi)        the Trustee shall not be accountable, shall have any liability or make any representation as to any acts or omissions hereunder of the Servicer until such time as the Trustee may be required to act as Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02;

(vii)       the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys or a custodian and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent, attorney or custodian appointed by it with due care; and

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

(b)        The Depositor hereby directs the Trustee to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Cap Contracts on the Closing Date and thereafter on behalf of the Holders of the Group I Certificates, the Class AF-1 Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates.  The Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Holders of the Group I Certificates, the Class AF-1 Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates by their acceptance of such Certificates, acknowledge and agree that the Trustee shall execute, deliver and perform its obligations under 

 

the Cap Contracts and shall do so solely in its capacity as Trustee of the Trust Fund and not in its individual capacity.

	
            Section 8.03
 	
            Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
 

The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the Seller, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same.  The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates (other than the signature of the Trustee and authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan or Related Document.  The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Servicer, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Servicer.  The Trustee shall not 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 Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02); the validity of the assignment of any Mortgage Loan to the Trustee or of any intervening assignment; the completeness of any Mortgage Loan; the performance or enforcement of any Mortgage Loan (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02); the compliance by the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer 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 Servicer or any loss resulting therefrom, the acts or omissions of any of the Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02), or any Mortgagor; any action of the Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02), taken in the name of the Trustee; the failure of the 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 Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve the
Trustee of its obligation to perform its duties under this Agreement.  The Trustee shall not have any responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder.

	
            Section 8.04
 	
            Trustee May Own Certificates.
 

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

 

 

	
            Section 8.05
 	
            Seller to Pay Trustee Fees and Expenses.
 

The Trustee shall withdraw from the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date and pay to itself its fees in an aggregate amount equal to the Trustee Fee pursuant to Section 4.01 and, to the extent the sum of the Group I Interest Remittance Amount and the Group II Interest Remittance Amount is at any time insufficient for such purpose, the Seller shall pay such fees as reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and the Seller will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement
(including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from such party’s negligence or bad faith or which is the responsibility of Certificateholders or the Trustee hereunder.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, including Section 2.03(a) and Section 2.04, to the contrary, the Seller covenants and agrees to indemnify the Trustee and its respective officers, directors, employees and agents from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement (including, without limitation, the last paragraph of Section 2.01), the Certificates or incurred in connection with the administration of the Trust, other than with respect to a party, any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance,
bad faith or negligence of such party in the performance of their respective duties hereunder or by reason of such party’s reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder; provided, that the foregoing exclusion shall not apply with respect to any indemnification obligation to the Trustee hereunder relating to the last paragraph of Section 2.01 hereof.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.  The Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified, to the extent not paid by the Seller pursuant to this Section, by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense (not including expenses, disbursements and advances incurred
or made by the Trustee, in the ordinary course of the Trustee’s performance in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) incurred by the Trustee or such party arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Agreement, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance by the Trustee of its duties under this Agreement or by reason of the reckless disregard of the Trustee’s obligations and duties under this Agreement; provided, that the foregoing exclusion shall not apply with respect to any indemnification obligation to the Trustee hereunder relating to the last paragraph of Section 2.01 hereof.  This section shall survive termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of any Trustee hereunder.

	
            Section 8.06
 	
            Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
 

The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a Department of Housing and Urban Development and Federal Housing Administration approved mortgagee, an entity duly organized 

 

and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and a minimum long-term debt rating of BBB by Fitch and S&P and a long term debt rating of at least A1 or better by Moody’s, and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority.  If such entity publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.06, the combined capital and surplus of such entity shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.  The principal office of the Trustee (other than the initial Trustee) shall be in a state with respect to which an Opinion of
Counsel has been delivered to such Trustee at the time such Trustee is appointed Trustee to the effect that the Trust will not be a taxable entity under the laws of such state.  In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.

	
            Section 8.07
 	
            Resignation or Removal of Trustee.
 

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

If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of their property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of their property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor may remove the Trustee.  If the Depositor or the Servicer removes the Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Trustee.

The Majority Certificateholders may at any time remove the Trustee by written instrument or instruments delivered to the Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee and any expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with such removal shall be reimbursed to it by the Majority Certificateholders promptly upon demand therefor; the Depositor shall thereupon use its best efforts to appoint a successor Trustee in accordance with this Section.

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

 

 

	
            Section 8.08
 	
            Successor Trustee.
 

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

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

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in this Section 8.08, the successor Trustee shall mail notice of the appointment of a successor Trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register and to each Rating Agency.

	
            Section 8.09
 	
            Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
 

Any entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such entity shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 and 8.08, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

	
            Section 8.10
 	
            Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
 

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

 

continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment.  No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Trustee under Section 8.06, and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 8.08.  The Servicer shall be responsible for the fees of any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed hereunder.

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

 

	
            Section 8.11
 	
            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 of the Certificateholders in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

(b)        The Trustee shall afford the Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer and each Certificateholder upon reasonable notice during normal business hours, access to all records maintained by the Trustee in respect of its duties hereunder and access to officers of the Trustee responsible for performing such duties.  The Trustee shall cooperate fully with the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor and such Certificateholder and shall make available to the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor and such Certificateholder for review and copying at the expense of the party requesting such copies, such books, documents or records as may be requested with respect to the Trustee’s duties hereunder.  The Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer 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.

REMIC ADMINISTRATION

	
            Section 9.01
 	
            REMIC Administration.
 

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

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

(c)        The Servicer shall pay any and all tax related expenses (not including taxes) of each REMIC, including but not limited to any professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to each 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 Servicer in fulfilling its duties hereunder.  The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of expenses to the extent provided in clause (i) above from the Collection Account.

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

(e)        The Holder of the Residual Certificate at any time holding the largest Percentage Interest thereof shall be the “tax matters person” as defined in the REMIC Provisions (the “Tax Matters Person”) with respect to each REMIC and shall act as Tax Matters Person for each REMIC.  The Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall perform on behalf of each REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority.  Among its other duties, if required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other such guidance, the Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall provide (i) to the Treasury or other governmental authority such information as is
necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to any disqualified person or organization and (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or REMIC Provisions.  The Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall represent each REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of any REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any government taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any item of any REMIC and otherwise act on behalf of any REMIC in relation to any tax matter involving the Trust.

 

 

(f)         The Trustee, the Servicer and the Holders of Certificates shall take any action or cause the REMIC to take any action necessary to create or maintain the status of each REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to create or maintain such status.  Neither the Trustee, the Servicer nor the Holder of any Residual Certificate shall take any action, cause any REMIC created hereunder to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of such REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon such REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) and the tax on prohibited contributions set forth
on Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Trustee and the Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax.  In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC created hereunder or the assets therein, or causing such REMIC to take any action, which is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, any Holder of a Residual Certificate will consult with the Trustee and the Servicer, or their respective designees, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any REMIC, and no such Person shall take any such action or cause any REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee or the Servicer has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.

(g)        Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed on each REMIC created hereunder by federal or state governmental authorities.  To the extent that such Trust taxes are not paid by a Residual Certificateholder, the Trustee shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Residual Certificate in the REMICs or, if no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in the Distribution Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to Holders of regular interests in  the related REMIC.

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

(i)         No additional contributions of assets shall be made to any REMIC created hereunder, except as expressly provided in this Agreement with respect to Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans.

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

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

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

 

 

(m)       For federal income tax purposes, in the event that the beneficial ownership of the Class N Certificates and the Class X Certificates is held by separate persons for tax purposes, the Trustee shall treat the Class N Certificates as debt of the Class X Certificateholders for federal income tax purposes and shall not treat such Class of Certificates as an interest in any REMIC created hereunder.  In the event that the beneficial ownership of the Class N Certificates and the Class X Certificates is held by the same person, the Trustee shall treat the Class N Certificates as not having been issued for federal income tax purposes so that the entire economic entitlement of the Class N Certificates and Class X Certificates (excluding the Class X Certificates right to receive amounts from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account) will represent a
“regular interest” in REMIC 6.

	
            Section 9.02
 	
            Prohibited Transactions and Activities.
 

Neither the Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer 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 any REMIC created hereunder pursuant to Article X of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant to Article II of this Agreement or (v) a repurchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II of this Agreement, nor acquire any assets for any REMIC, nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Distribution Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to either REMIC after the Closing Date, unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party causing such sale, disposition, or substitution) that such disposition, acquisition, substitution, or acceptance will not (a) affect adversely the status of any
REMIC created hereunder as a REMIC or of the interests therein other than the Residual Certificates as the regular interests therein, (b) affect the distribution of interest or principal on the Certificates, (c) result in the encumbrance of the assets transferred or assigned to the Trust Fund (except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement) or (d) cause any REMIC created hereunder to be subject to a tax on prohibited transactions or prohibited contributions pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

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

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

 

herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the Certificates).

 

 

ARTICLE X

 

TERMINATION

	
            Section 10.01
 	
            Termination.
 

(a)        The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar created hereby (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make certain payments to Certificateholders after the final Distribution Date and the obligation of the 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 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 in the Trust, and (iii) the optional purchase by the Servicer or an Affiliate of the Servicer of the Mortgage Loans as described below.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the
expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

The Servicer or an Affiliate of the Servicer may, at its option, terminate the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund and retire the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class B Certificates on the next succeeding Distribution Date upon which the current Pool Balance is 10% or less  than the Pool Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date by purchasing all of the outstanding (i) Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund at a price equal to the sum of the outstanding Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and except to the extent previously advanced by the Servicer, accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the weighted average of the Mortgage Interest Rates through the end of the Collection Period preceding the final Distribution Date plus unreimbursed Servicing Advances, Advances and any unpaid Servicing Fees allocable to such Mortgage Loans and (ii) REO Properties in the
Trust Fund at a price equal to their fair market value as determined in good faith by the Servicer (the “Termination Price”).

In connection with any such purchase pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account all amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account (less amounts permitted to be withdrawn by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07), which deposit shall be deemed to have occurred immediately following such purchase.

Any such purchase shall be accomplished by delivery to the Trustee for deposit into the Distribution Account as part of Available Funds on the Determination Date before such Distribution Date of the Termination Price.

(b)        Notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date (which shall be a date that would otherwise be a Distribution Date) upon which the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee upon the Trustee receiving notice of such date from the Servicer, by letter to the Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 15th day of the month preceding the month of such final distribution and not later than the 15th 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 Sections 4.01 and Section 4.02 for such Distribution Date.

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

	
            Section 10.02
 	
            Additional Termination Requirements.
 

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

(i)         The Trustee shall designate a date within 90 days prior to the final Distribution Date as the date of adoption of plans of complete liquidation of each REMIC prepared and delivered to it by the terminating party or its designee and shall specify such date in the final federal income tax return of each REMIC;

(ii)         After the date of adoption of such plans of complete liquidation and at or prior to the final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust to the Servicer for cash; and

 

 

(iii)        At the time of the making of the final payment on the Certificates, the Trustee shall distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited in the following order of priority (A) (i) to the Holders of the Class A Certificates and (ii) to the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3, Class B-4, Class B-5, Class B-6 and Class B-7 Certificates, the related Certificate Principal Balance, as applicable, plus one month’s interest thereon at the applicable Pass-Through Rate, (B) to the Class N and Class X Certificates in respect of the Class X/N Interest, the amount of any remaining Monthly Excess Cash Flow Amounts not previously distributed thereon, (C) to the remaining REMIC Regular Interests the amounts allocable thereto pursuant to Section 4.08 and (D)
to the Class R and Class R-X Certificateholders, all cash on hand in respect of the related REMIC or REMICs after such payment (other than cash retained to meet claims) and the Trust shall terminate at such time.

(b)        By their acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby agree to appoint the Trustee as their attorney in fact to:  (i) designate such date of adoption of plans of complete liquidation and (ii) to take such other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably required to carry out such plans of complete liquidation all in accordance with the terms hereof.

The
Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement.

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

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.

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.

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

	
            Section 11.10
 	
            Benefits of Agreement.
 

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

	
            Section 11.11
 	
            Acts of Certificateholders.
 

(a)        Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by the Certificateholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Certificateholders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee, the Seller and the Servicer.  Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “act” of the Certificateholders signing such instrument or instruments.  Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and conclusive in favor of the
Trustee and the Trust, if made in the manner provided in this Section 11.11.

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.

This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of a Percentage Interest (obtained by dividing the Initial Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate by the Original Class Certificate Principal Balance of the Class AV-1 Certificates) in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Class AV-1 Certificates in the Trust Fund created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as specified above (the “Agreement”), among Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust Inc. (hereinafter called the “Depositor,” which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement), the Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.  This Certificate is issued under and is
subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Business Day immediately preceding such Distribution Date (the “Record Date”), from funds in the Distribution Account in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class AV-1 Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement provided, however, that if any Class AV-1 Certificate becomes a Definitive Certificate, the Record Date
for such Certificate will be the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which the related Distribution Date occurs.

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made or caused to be made by or on behalf of the Trustee by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Class AV-1 Certificates the aggregate Initial Certificate Principal Balance of which is in excess of $5,000,000, or by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register, provided that the Trustee may deduct a reasonable wire transfer fee from any payment made by wire transfer.  Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the
Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose as provided in the Agreement.

The Class AV-1 Pass-Through Rate on each Distribution Date will be a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the sum of one month LIBOR plus the Class AV-1 Certificate Margin and (ii) the related Rate Cap for the such Distribution Date.  Interest will accrue on the Class AV-1 Certificates during each Interest Accrual Period at the Class AV-1 Pass-Through Rate.

 

 

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as C-BASS Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class AV-1 Certificates.

The Class AV-1 Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement.  As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

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

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

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

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

The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the 

 

Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

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

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

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

 

 

 

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

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

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Business Day immediately preceding such Distribution Date (the “Record Date”), from funds in the Distribution Account in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class AV-2 Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement provided, however, that if any Class AV-2 Certificate becomes a Definitive Certificate, the Record Date

As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

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

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

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

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

This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of a Percentage Interest (obtained by dividing the Initial Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate by the Original Class Certificate Principal Balance of the Class AF-1 Certificates) in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Class AF-1 Certificates in the Trust Fund created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as specified above (the “Agreement”), among Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust Inc. (hereinafter called the “Depositor,” which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement), the Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.  This Certificate is issued under and is
subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Business Day immediately preceding such Distribution Date (the “Record Date”), from funds in the Distribution Account in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class AF-1 Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement provided, however, that if any Class AF-1 Certificate becomes a Definitive Certificate, the Record Date
for such Certificate will be the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which the related Distribution Date occurs.

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made or caused to be made by or on behalf of the Trustee by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Class AF-1 Certificates the aggregate Initial Certificate Principal Balance of which is in excess of $5,000,000, or by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register, provided that the Trustee may deduct a reasonable wire transfer fee from any payment made by wire transfer.  Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the
Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose as provided in the Agreement.

The Class AF-1 Pass-Through Rate on each Distribution Date will be a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the sum of one month LIBOR plus the Class AF-1 Certificate Margin and (ii) the related Rate Cap for the such Distribution Date.  Interest will accrue on the Class AF-1 Certificates during each Interest Accrual Period at the Class AF-1 Pass-Through Rate.

 

 

 

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as C-BASS Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class AF-1 Certificates.

The Class AF-1 Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement.  As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

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

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

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

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

The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the 

 

Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

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

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

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

 

 

 

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

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

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as C-BASS Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class AF-2 Certificates.

 

 

The Class AF-2 Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement.  As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

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

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

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

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

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the 

 

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

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

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

 

 

 

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

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

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

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

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

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage 

 

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

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

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

 

 

 

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

This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of a Percentage Interest (obtained by dividing the Initial Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate by the Original Class Certificate Principal Balance of the Class B-1 Certificates) in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Class B-1 Certificates in the Trust Fund created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as specified above (the “Agreement”), among Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust Inc. (hereinafter called the “Depositor,” which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement), the Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.  This Certificate is issued under and is
subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Business Day immediately preceding such Distribution Date (the “Record Date”), from funds in the Distribution Account in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class B-1 Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement provided, however, that if any Class B-1 Certificate becomes a Definitive Certificate, the Record Date for
such Certificate will be the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which the related Distribution Date occurs.

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made or caused to be made by or on behalf of the Trustee by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Class B-1 Certificates the aggregate Initial Certificate Principal Balance of which is in excess of $5,000,000, or by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register, provided that the Trustee may deduct a reasonable wire transfer fee from any payment made by wire transfer.  Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the
Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose as provided in the Agreement.

The Class B-1 Pass-Through Rate on each Distribution Date will be a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the sum of one month LIBOR plus the Class B-1 Certificate Margin and (ii) the related Rate Cap for such Distribution Date.  Interest will accrue on the Class B-1 Certificates during each Interest Accrual Period at the Class B-1 Pass-Through Rate.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as C-BASS Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class B-1 Certificates.

 

 

The Class B-1 Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement.  As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

This certificate is subordinated in right of payment to the Class A Certificates and the Class M Certificates as described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement referred to herein.

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

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

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

No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification.  In the event that a transfer is to be made without registration or qualification, the Certificate Registrar shall require, in order to assure compliance with such laws, either (i) that the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and such Certificateholder's prospective transferee each execute a representation letter in the form described by the Agreement certifying to the Certificate Registrar the facts surrounding the transfer, or (ii) that the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar shall require an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to them that such transfer may be made
without such registration or 

 

qualification, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar, in their respective capacities as such.  None of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification.  Any such Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and any Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

No transfer of this Certificate or any interest herein may be made to employee benefit plans and certain other retirement plans and arrangements, including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Keogh plans and collective investment funds and separate accounts in which such plans, accounts or arrangements are invested that are subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code (“Plans”) or any person who is directly or indirectly purchasing this Certificate or interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan unless the opinion letter in section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is provided.

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

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

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

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

 

 

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

 

 

 

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

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

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25 day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Business Day immediately preceding such Distribution Date (the “Record Date”), from funds in the Distribution Account in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class B-2 Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement provided, however, that if any Class B-2 Certificate becomes a Definitive Certificate, the Record Date for

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made or caused to be made by or on behalf of the Trustee by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Class B-2 Certificates the aggregate Initial Certificate Principal Balance of which is in excess of $5,000,000, or by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register, provided that the Trustee may deduct a reasonable wire transfer fee from any payment made by wire transfer.  Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the
Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose as provided in the Agreement.

Interest will accrue on the Class B-2 Certificates during each Interest Accrual Period at the Class B-2 Pass-Through Rate.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as C-BASS Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class B-2 Certificates.

 

 

The Class B-2 Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement.  As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

This certificate is subordinated in right of payment to the Class A Certificates, the Class M Certificates and the Class B-1 Certificates as described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement referred to herein.

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

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

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

No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification.  In the event that a transfer is to be made without registration or qualification, the Certificate Registrar shall require, in order to assure compliance with such laws, either (i) that the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and such Certificateholder's prospective transferee each execute a representation letter in the form described by the Agreement certifying to the Certificate Registrar the facts surrounding the transfer, or (ii) that the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar shall require an Opinion of 

 

Counsel satisfactory to them that such transfer may be made without such registration or qualification, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar, in their respective capacities as such.  None of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification.  Any such Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and any Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

No transfer of this Certificate or any interest herein may be made to employee benefit plans and certain other retirement plans and arrangements, including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Keogh plans and collective investment funds and separate accounts in which such plans, accounts or arrangements are invested that are subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code (“Plans”) or any person who is directly or indirectly purchasing this Certificate or interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan unless the opinion letter in section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is provided.

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

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

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

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

 

 

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

 

 

 

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

This certificate is subordinated in right of payment to the Class A Certificates, the Class M Certificates, the Class B-1 Certificates and the Class B-2 Certificates as described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement referred to herein.

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

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

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

No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification.  In the event that a transfer is to be made without registration or qualification, the Certificate Registrar shall require, in order to assure compliance with such laws, either (i) that the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and such Certificateholder's prospective transferee each execute a representation letter in the form described by the Agreement certifying to the Certificate Registrar the facts surrounding the transfer, or (ii) that the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar shall require an Opinion of 

 

Counsel satisfactory to them that such transfer may be made without such registration or qualification, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar, in their respective capacities as such.  None of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification.  Any such Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and any Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

No transfer of this Certificate or any interest herein may be made to employee benefit plans and certain other retirement plans and arrangements, including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Keogh plans and collective investment funds and separate accounts in which such plans, accounts or arrangements are invested that are subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code (“Plans”) or any person who is directly or indirectly purchasing this Certificate or interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan unless the opinion letter in section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is provided.

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

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

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

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

This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of a Percentage Interest (obtained by dividing the Initial Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate by the Original Class Certificate Principal Balance of the Class B-5 Certificates) in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Class B-5 Certificates in the Trust Fund created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as specified above (the “Agreement”), among Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust Inc. (hereinafter called the “Depositor,” which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement), the Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.  This Certificate is issued under and is
subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Business Day immediately preceding such Distribution Date (the “Record Date”), from funds in the Distribution Account in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class B-5 Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement provided, however, that if any Class B-5 Certificate becomes a Definitive Certificate, the Record Date for
such Certificate will be the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which the related Distribution Date occurs.

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made or caused to be made by or on behalf of the Trustee by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Class B-5 Certificates the aggregate Initial Certificate Principal Balance of which is in excess of $5,000,000, or by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register, provided that the Trustee may deduct a reasonable wire transfer fee from any payment made by wire transfer.  Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the
Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose as provided in the Agreement.

The Class B-5 Pass-Through Rate on each Distribution Date is the lesser of (i) prior to the Optional Termination Date, 6.612% per annum and on or after the Optional Termination Date, 7.112% per annum and (ii) the related Rate Cap for such Distribution Date.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as C-BASS Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class B-5 Certificates.

 

 

The Class B-5 Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement.  As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

This certificate is subordinated in right of payment to the Class A Certificates, the Class M Certificates, the Class B-1 Certificates, the Class B-2 Certificates, the Class B-3 Certificates and the Class B-4 Certificates as described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement referred to herein.

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

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

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

No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification.  In the event that a transfer is to be made without registration or qualification, the Certificate Registrar shall require, in order to assure compliance with such laws, either (i) that the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and such Certificateholder's prospective transferee each execute a representation letter in the form described by the Agreement certifying to the Certificate Registrar the facts surrounding the 

 

transfer, or (ii) that the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar shall require an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to them that such transfer may be made without such registration or qualification, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar, in their respective capacities as such.  None of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification.  Any such Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and any Servicer against any liability that may result if the
transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

No transfer of this Certificate or any interest herein may be made to employee benefit plans and certain other retirement plans and arrangements, including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Keogh plans and collective investment funds and separate accounts in which such plans, accounts or arrangements are invested that are subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code (“Plans”) or any person who is directly or indirectly purchasing this Certificate or interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan unless the opinion letter in section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is provided.

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

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

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

 

 

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

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

 

 

 

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

This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of a Percentage Interest (obtained by dividing the Initial Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate by the Original Class Certificate Principal Balance of the Class B-6 Certificates) in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Class B-6 Certificates in the Trust Fund created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as specified above (the “Agreement”), among Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust Inc. (hereinafter called the “Depositor,” which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement), the Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.  This Certificate is issued under and is
subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Business Day immediately preceding such Distribution Date (the “Record Date”), from funds in the Distribution Account in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class B-6 Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement provided, however, that if any Class B-6 Certificate becomes a Definitive Certificate, the Record Date for
such Certificate will be the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which the related Distribution Date occurs.

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made or caused to be made by or on behalf of the Trustee by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Class B-6 Certificates the aggregate Initial Certificate Principal Balance of which is in excess of $5,000,000, or by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register, provided that the Trustee may deduct a reasonable wire transfer fee from any payment made by wire transfer.  Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the
Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose as provided in the Agreement.

The Class B-6 Pass-Through Rate on each Distribution Date is the lesser of (i) prior to the Optional Termination Date, 6.611% per annum and on or after the Optional Termination Date, 7.111% per annum and (ii) the related Rate Cap for such Distribution Date.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as C-BASS Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class B-6 Certificates.

 

 

The Class B-6 Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement.  As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

This certificate is subordinated in right of payment to the Class A Certificates, the Class M Certificates, the Class B-1 Certificates, the Class B-2 Certificates, the Class B-3 Certificates, the Class B-4 Certificates and the Class B-5 Certificates as described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement referred to herein.

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

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

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

No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification.  In the event that a transfer is to be made without registration or qualification, the Certificate Registrar shall require, in order to assure compliance with such laws, either (i) that the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and such Certificateholder's prospective transferee each execute a representation letter in the form described by the Agreement certifying to the Certificate Registrar the facts surrounding the 

 

transfer, or (ii) that the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar shall require an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to them that such transfer may be made without such registration or qualification, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar, in their respective capacities as such.  None of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification.  Any such Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and any Servicer against any liability that may result if the
transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

No transfer of this Certificate or any interest herein may be made to employee benefit plans and certain other retirement plans and arrangements, including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Keogh plans and collective investment funds and separate accounts in which such plans, accounts or arrangements are invested that are subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code (“Plans”) or any person who is directly or indirectly purchasing this Certificate or interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan unless the opinion letter in section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is provided.

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

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

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

 

 

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

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

 

 

 

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

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as C-BASS Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class B-7 Certificates.

 

 

The Class B-7 Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement.  As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

This certificate is subordinated in right of payment to the Class A Certificates, the Class M Certificates, the Class B-1 Certificates, the Class B-2 Certificates, the Class B-3 Certificates, the Class B-4 Certificates, the Class B-5 Certificates and the Class B-6 Certificates as described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement referred to herein.

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

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

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

No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification.  In the event that a transfer is to be made without registration or qualification, the Certificate Registrar shall require, in order to assure compliance with such laws, either (i) that the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and such Certificateholder's prospective transferee each execute a representation letter in the form described by the Agreement certifying to the Certificate Registrar the facts surrounding the 

 

transfer, or (ii) that the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar shall require an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to them that such transfer may be made without such registration or qualification, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar, in their respective capacities as such.  None of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification.  Any such Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and any Servicer against any liability that may result if the
transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

No transfer of this Certificate or any interest herein may be made to employee benefit plans and certain other retirement plans and arrangements, including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Keogh plans and collective investment funds and separate accounts in which such plans, accounts or arrangements are invested that are subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code (“Plans”) or any person who is directly or indirectly purchasing this Certificate or interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan unless the opinion letter in section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is provided.

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

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

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

 

 

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

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

 

 

 

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

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

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

No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification.  In the event that a transfer is to be made without registration or qualification, the Certificate Registrar shall require, in order to assure compliance with such laws, either (i) that the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and such Certificateholder's prospective transferee each execute a representation letter in the form described by the Agreement certifying to the Certificate Registrar the facts surrounding the transfer, or (ii) that the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar shall require an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to them that such transfer may be made
without such registration or qualification, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar, in their respective capacities as such.  None of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification.  Any such Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and any Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

 

 

No transfer of this Certificate or any interest herein may be made to employee benefit plans and certain other retirement plans and arrangements, including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Keogh plans and collective investment funds and separate accounts in which such plans, accounts or arrangements are invested that are subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code (“Plans”) or any person who is directly or indirectly purchasing this Certificate or interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan.

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

 

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Business Day immediately preceding such Distribution Date (the “Record Date”), from funds in the Distribution Account in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class M-1 Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement provided, however, that if any Class M-1 Certificate becomes a Definitive Certificate, the Record Date for
such Certificate will be the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which the related Distribution Date occurs.

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made or caused to be made by or on behalf of the Trustee by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Class M-1 Certificates the aggregate Initial Certificate Principal Balance of which is in excess of $5,000,000, or by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register, provided that the Trustee may deduct a reasonable wire transfer fee from any payment made by wire transfer.  Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the

The Class M-1 Pass-Through Rate on each Distribution Date will be a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the sum of one month LIBOR plus the Class M-1 Certificate Margin and (ii) the related Rate Cap for such Distribution Date.  Interest will accrue on the Class M-1 Certificates during each Interest Accrual Period at the Class M-1 Pass-Through Rate.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as C-BASS Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class M-1 Certificates.

 

 

The Class M-1 Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement.  As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

This certificate is subordinated in right of payment to the Class A Certificates as described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement referred to herein.

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

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

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

No transfer of this Certificate or any interest herein may be made to employee benefit plans and certain other retirement plans and arrangements, including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Keogh plans and collective investment funds and separate accounts in which such plans, accounts or arrangements are invested that are subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code (“Plans”) or any person who is directly or indirectly purchasing this Certificate or interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan unless the opinion letter in section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is provided.

 

 

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

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

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

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

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

 

 

 

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

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

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

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

 

 

 

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

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as C-BASS Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class M-3 Certificates.

 

 

The Class M-3 Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement.  As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

This certificate is subordinated in right of payment to the Class A Certificates, the Class M-1 Certificates and the Class M-2 Certificates as described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement referred to herein.

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

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

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

No transfer of this Certificate or any interest herein may be made to employee benefit plans and certain other retirement plans and arrangements, including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Keogh plans and collective investment funds and separate accounts in which such plans, accounts or arrangements are invested that are subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code (“Plans”) or any person who is directly or indirectly purchasing this Certificate or interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan unless the opinion letter in section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is provided.

 

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Business Day immediately preceding such Distribution Date (the “Record Date”), from funds in the Distribution Account in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class M-5 Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement provided, however, that if any Class M-5 Certificate becomes a Definitive Certificate, the Record Date for
such Certificate will be the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which the related Distribution Date occurs.

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made or caused to be made by or on behalf of the Trustee by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Class M-5 Certificates the aggregate Initial Certificate Principal Balance of which is in excess of $5,000,000, or by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register, provided that the Trustee may deduct a reasonable wire transfer fee from any payment made by wire transfer.  Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the

The Class M-5 Pass-Through Rate on each Distribution Date will be a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the sum of one month LIBOR plus the Class M-5 Certificate Margin and (ii) the related Rate Cap for such Distribution Date.  Interest will accrue on the Class M-5 Certificates during each Interest Accrual Period at the Class M-5 Pass-Through Rate.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as C-BASS Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class M-5 Certificates.

 

 

The Class M-5 Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement.  As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

This certificate is subordinated in right of payment to the Class A Certificates, the Class M-1 Certificates, Class M-2 Certificates, Class M-3 Certificates and the Class M-4 Certificates as described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement referred to herein.

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

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

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

No transfer of this Certificate or any interest herein may be made to employee benefit plans and certain other retirement plans and arrangements, including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Keogh plans and collective investment funds and separate accounts in which such plans, accounts or arrangements are invested that are subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code (“Plans”) or any person who is directly or indirectly purchasing this Certificate or interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan unless the opinion letter in section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is provided.

 

 

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

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

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

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

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

 

 

 

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

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

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Business Day immediately preceding such Distribution Date (the “Record Date”), from funds in the Distribution Account in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class M-6 Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement provided, however, that if any Class M-6 Certificate becomes a Definitive Certificate, the Record Date for
such Certificate will be the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which the related Distribution Date occurs.

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made or caused to be made by or on behalf of the Trustee by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Class M-6 Certificates the aggregate Initial Certificate Principal Balance of which is in excess of $5,000,000, or by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register, provided that the Trustee may deduct a reasonable wire transfer fee from any payment made by wire transfer.  Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the
Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose as provided in the Agreement.

Interest will accrue on the Class M-6 Certificates during each Interest Accrual Period at the Class M-6 Pass-Through Rate.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as C-BASS Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class M-6 Certificates.

 

 

The Class M-6 Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement.  As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

This certificate is subordinated in right of payment to the Class A Certificates, the Class M-1 Certificates, the Class M-2 Certificates, the Class M-3 Certificates, the Class M-4 Certificates and the Class M-5 Certificates as described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement referred to herein.

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

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

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

No transfer of this Certificate or any interest herein may be made to employee benefit plans and certain other retirement plans and arrangements, including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Keogh plans and collective investment funds and separate accounts in which such plans, accounts or arrangements are invested that are subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code (“Plans”) or any person who is directly or indirectly purchasing this Certificate or interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan unless the opinion letter in section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is provided.

 

 

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

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

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

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

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

 

 

 

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

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made or caused to be made by or on behalf of the Trustee by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Class X Certificates the aggregate Initial Certificate Principal Balance of which is in excess of a 66% Percentage Interest of the Class X Certificates, or by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register, provided that the Trustee may deduct a reasonable wire transfer fee from any payment made by wire transfer.  Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this
Certificate will be made after due notice by the Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose as provided in the Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as C-BASS Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing the Percentage Interest specified on the face hereof.

The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

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

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

No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification.  In the event that a transfer is to be made without registration or qualification, the Certificate Registrar shall require, in order to assure compliance with such laws, either (i) that the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and such Certificateholder's prospective transferee each execute a representation letter in the form described by the Agreement certifying to the Certificate Registrar the facts surrounding the transfer, or (ii) that the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar shall require an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to them that such transfer may be made
without such registration or qualification, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar, in their respective capacities as such.  None of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification.  Any such Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

 

 

No transfer of this Certificate or any interest herein may be made to employee benefit plans and certain other retirement plans and arrangements, including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Keogh plans and collective investment funds and separate accounts in which such plans, accounts or arrangements are invested that are subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code (“Plans”) or any person who is directly or indirectly purchasing this Certificate or interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan unless the opinion letter in section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is provided.

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

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

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

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

marketability of the related Mortgaged Property and which may not in any way prevent realization of the benefits of the related Insurance Agreement, if applicable and (4) with respect to any second lien mortgage loan, the lien of the related first mortgage loan.  Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, existing and enforceable first or second lien and first or second priority security interest on the property described therein and the Seller has full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser.

related Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s assignee, transferee or designee for the benefit 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.

Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser of a breach of any of the representations and warranties contained in this Article III or Section 2.04 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement that materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s assignee, transferee or designee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the party discovering the breach shall give prompt written notice to the others and in no event later than two Business Days from the date of such discovery.  It is understood by the parties hereto that a breach of the representations and warranties made in this Section 3.01(aaa), (bbb), (ccc), (ddd), (eee), (fff) and (ggg) will be deemed to materially and adversely affect the value of the related Mortgage Loan or
the interest therein of the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s assignee.  Within 90 days of the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such breach of a representation or warranty, the Seller shall promptly cure such 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 Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans, in either case, in accordance with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Upon discovery or receipt of written notice by the Seller of any materially defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File, the Seller shall have 120 days to cure such defect or 150 days following the Closing Date, in the case of missing Mortgages or Assignments (or within 90 days of the earlier of the Seller’s discovery or receipt of notification if such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan not to be a “qualified mortgage” for REMIC purposes), or in the event such defect 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 Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans, in either case, within such time periods and in accordance with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 3.01 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee or its agent, on behalf of the Purchaser and shall inure to the benefit of the Certificateholders notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement or assignment.

It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in this Section 3.01 to cure, repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser, the Certificateholders or the Trustee on their behalf respecting a missing or defective document or a breach of the representations or warranties contained in this Section 3.01.

 

 

Section 3.02  Seller Representations and Warranties.  The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser that as of the Closing Date or as of such date specifically provided herein:

The Seller is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the business transacted by it or properties owned or leased by it requires such qualification and in which the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect on (a) its business, properties, assets or condition (financial or other), (b) the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, (c) the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loans, or (d) its ability to foreclose on the related Mortgaged Properties.

(ii)       The Seller has the power and authority to make, execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and to consummate all of the transactions contemplated hereunder and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.  When executed and delivered, this Agreement will constitute the Seller’s legal, valid and binding obligations enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement of such terms may be limited by (1) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by the availability of equitable remedies, (2) general equity principals (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) or (3) public policy considerations underlying the securities

(iii)       The Seller holds all necessary licenses, certificates and permits from all governmental authorities necessary for conducting its business as it is presently conducted, except for such licenses, certificates and permits the absence of which, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Seller to conduct its business as it is presently conducted.

its properties pursuant to any mortgage, indenture, contract or other agreement to which it is a party or by which it may be bound.

(v)       No certificate of an officer, written statement or report delivered pursuant to the terms hereof by the Seller contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the certificate, statement or report not misleading.

(vi)      The transactions contemplated by this Agreement are in the ordinary course of the Seller’s business.

(vii)      The Seller is not insolvent, nor will the Seller be made insolvent by the transfer of the Mortgage Loans, nor is the Seller aware of any pending insolvency.

(viii)     The Seller is not in violation of, and the execution and delivery of this Agreement by it and its performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not constitute a violation with respect to any order or decree of any court, or any order or regulation of any federal, state, municipal or governmental agency having jurisdiction, which violation would materially and adversely affect the Seller’s condition (financial or otherwise) or operations or any of the Seller’s properties, or materially and adversely affect the performance of any of its duties hereunder.

(ix)      There are no actions or proceedings against, or investigations of, the Seller pending or, to its knowledge, threatened, before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal (i) that, if determined adversely, would prohibit the Seller from entering into this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (iii) that, if determined adversely, would prohibit or materially and adversely affect the Seller’s performance of any of its respective obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(x)       The Seller is not transferring the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser hereunder with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors.

(xi)      The Seller acquired title to the Mortgage Loans in good faith, without notice of any adverse claims.

(xii)      The transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement are not subject to the bulk transfer laws or any similar statutory provisions in effect in any applicable jurisdiction.

(xiii)     The Seller understands that (a) the Retained Certificates have not been and will not be registered or qualified under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any state securities law, (b) the Purchaser is not required to so register or qualify the Retained Certificates, (c) the Retained Certificates may be resold only if registered and qualified pursuant to the provisions of the Act or any state securities law, or if an exemption from such 

 

registration and qualification is available, (d) the Pooling and Servicing Agreement contains restrictions regarding the transfer of the Retained Certificates and (e) the Retained Certificates will bear a legend to the foregoing effect.

(xiv)     The Seller is acquiring the Retained Certificates for its own account for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof in any manner that would violate the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws.

(xv)     The Seller is (a) a substantial, sophisticated institutional investor having such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, and, in particular, in such matters related to securities similar to the Retained Certificates, such that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investment in the Retained Certificates, (b) able to bear the economic risks of such an investment and (c) an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 (a) promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act.

(xvi)     The Seller has been furnished with such information concerning the Retained Certificates and the Purchaser as has been requested by the Seller from the Purchaser and is relevant to the Seller’s decision to purchase the Retained Certificates.  The Seller has had any questions arising from such review answered by the Purchaser to the satisfaction of the Seller.

Retained Certificate under the Securities Act, that would render the disposition of any Retained Certificate a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or any state securities law, or that would require registration or qualification pursuant thereto.  The Seller will not sell or otherwise transfer any of the Retained Certificates, except in compliance with the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(xviii)   The Seller is not an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), (collectively, an “ERISA Plan”), and is not acting on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or investing the assets of an ERISA Plan.

 

 

ARTICLE IV

 

SELLER’S COVENANTS

Section 4.01  Covenants of the Seller.

(a)       The Seller hereby covenants that except for the transfer hereunder, the Seller will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any lien on any Mortgage Loan, or any interest therein; the Seller will notify the Trustee, as assignee of the Purchaser, of the existence of any lien on any Mortgage Loan immediately upon discovery thereof, and the Seller will defend the right, title and interest of the Trust, as assignee of the Purchaser, in, to and under the Mortgage Loans, against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Seller; provided, however, 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.

(b)       The Seller hereby covenants that neither it nor any affiliate of the Seller will directly solicit any Mortgagor hereunder to refinance the related Mortgage Loan.  For the purposes of the foregoing, neither the Seller nor any affiliate of the Seller shall be deemed to directly solicit any Mortgagor if the Seller responds to a request from a Mortgagor regarding a refinancing or if the Mortgagor receives marketing materials which are generally disseminated.

 

 

ARTICLE V

 

OPTIONAL PURCHASE OF DEFAULTED MORTGAGE LOANS

(a)       In accordance with the terms of Section 3.16 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as to any Mortgage Loan which is Delinquent in payment by 120 days or more or any REO Property, an Affiliate of the Seller may, at its option, purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price for such Mortgage Loan provided that an Affiliate of the Seller may exercise the purchase right during the period commencing on the first day of the calendar quarter succeeding the calendar quarter in which the Initial Delinquency Date occurred and ending on the last Business Day of such calendar quarter.  The “Initial Delinquency Date” of a Mortgage Loan shall mean the date on which the Mortgage Loan first became 120 days Delinquent.

(b)       If an Affiliate of the Seller does not exercise the purchase right with respect to a Mortgage Loan during the period specified in the preceding paragraph, such Mortgage Loan shall thereafter again become eligible for purchase pursuant to the preceding paragraph only after the Mortgage Loan ceases to be 120 days or more Delinquent and thereafter becomes 120 day Delinquent again.

 

 

ARTICLE VI

 

TERMINATION

Section 6.01  Termination.  The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Seller and the Purchaser created hereby shall terminate upon the termination of the Trust as provided in Section 8.01 of the Trust Agreement.

 

 

ARTICLE VII

 

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 7.01  Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Seller and the Purchaser, by written agreement signed by the Seller and the Purchaser.

Section 7.02  Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

Section 7.03  Notices.  All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered at or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

if to the Seller:

Credit-Based Asset Servicing and Securitization LLC

335 Madison Avenue

19th Floor

New York, New York  10017

Attention:  General Counsel

or such other address as may hereafter be furnished to the Purchaser in writing by the Seller.

if to the Purchaser:

Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust Inc.

390 Greenwich Street

New York, New York 10013

Attention: Mortgage Finance Group

or such other address as may hereafter be furnished to the Seller 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 or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.

Section 7.05  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, 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 Purchaser and the Seller 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 any Series of Certificates representing interests in 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 any of the securities representing interests in the Mortgage Loans.  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 such transactions and the offering of investment grade securities rated by the Rating Agencies.

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 the pledging of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to secure a loan by the Purchaser to the Seller.  Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat the transaction for Federal income tax purposes and all other purposes 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 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 this 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 and 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 for the purpose of contributing them to a trust that will issue a series of 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 hereof shall survive the purchase of the Mortgage Loans hereunder.

 

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Seller and the Purchaser have caused their names to be signed to this Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the day and year first above written.

            ss.:
 
	
            COUNTY OF___________
 	
            )
 	
             
 

 

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

1.          The undersigned is [an officer of]                      , the proposed Transferee of an Ownership Interest in a [Class R and/or Class R-X Certificates] (the “Certificates”) issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (the “Agreement”), relating to the above-referenced Certificates, among Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust Inc., as depositor, Credit-Based Asset Servicing and Securitization LLC, as seller, Litton Loan Servicing LP, as servicer and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as trustee.  Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement.  The Transferee has authorized the undersigned
to make this affidavit on behalf of the Transferee.

2.          The Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the date of the Transfer, a Permitted Transferee.  The Transferee is acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Certificates either (i) for its own account or (ii) as nominee, trustee or agent for another Person and has attached hereto an affidavit from such Person in substantially the same form as this affidavit.  The Transferee has no knowledge that any such affidavit is false.

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

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

 

 

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

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

7.          The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the Certificates.

	
            8.
 	
            The Transferee's taxpayer identification number is_________.
 	
             

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

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

11.        The Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject to ERISA or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, nor are we acting on behalf of such a plan.

 

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Transferee has caused this instrument to be executed on its behalf, pursuant to authority of its Board of Directors, by its duly authorized officer and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed, duly attested, this __ ay of ________, 20_.

(i)                the Servicer's determination that such waiver would maximize recovery of Liquidation Proceeds for such Mortgage Loan, taking into account the value of such prepayment penalty, or

(ii)(A) the enforceability thereof be limited (1) by bankruptcy insolvency, moratorium, receivership, or other similar law relating to creditors' rights generally or (2) due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or 

 

other involuntary payment, or (B) the enforceability is otherwise limited or prohibited by applicable law;

	
            4.
 	
            We certify that all amounts due in connection with the waiver of a prepayment penalty inconsistent with number 3 above which are required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, have been or will be so deposited.
