This Pooling and Servicing Agreement, is dated and effective as of July 1, 2005, among CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC. as Depositor, OPTION ONE MORTGAGE CORPORATION as Servicer and DEUTSCHE BANK NATIONAL TRUST COMPANY as Trustee.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

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

            the lesser of (a) the value thereof as determined by an appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan at the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan by an appraiser who met the minimum requirements of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and (b) the value thereof as determined by a review appraisal conducted by the Originator in the event any such review appraisal determines an appraised value more than 10% lower than the value thereof, in the case of a Mortgaged Loan with a Loan-to-Value Ratio less than or equal to 80%, or more than 5% lower than the value thereof, in the case of a Mortgage Loan with a Loan-to-Value Ratio greater than 80%, as determined by the appraisal referred to in clause (i)(a) above; and
 
	
            (ii)
 	
            the purchase price paid for the related Mortgaged Property by the Mortgagor with the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in the case of a refinanced Mortgage Loan (which is a Mortgage Loan the proceeds of which were not used to purchase the related Mortgaged Property) or a Mortgage Loan originated in connection with a “lease option purchase” if the “lease option purchase price” was set 12 months or more prior to origination, such value of the Mortgaged Property is based solely upon clause (i) above.

With respect to any date of determination, 98% of all Voting Rights will be allocated among the holders of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class CE Certificates in proportion to the then outstanding Certificate Principal Balances of their respective Certificates, 1% of all Voting Rights will be allocated to the holders of the Class P Certificates and 1% of all Voting Rights will be allocated among the holders of the Residual Certificates. The Voting Rights allocated to each Class of Certificate shall be allocated among Holders of each such Class in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests as of the most recent Record Date.

	
            SECTION 1.02.
 	
            Allocation of Certain Interest Shortfalls.
 

For purposes of calculating the amount of Accrued Certificate Interest and the amount of the Interest Distribution Amount for the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class CE Interest for any Distribution Date, (1) the aggregate amount of any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls (to the extent not covered by payments by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.24) and any Relief Act Interest Shortfall incurred in respect of the Mortgage Loans for any Distribution Date shall be allocated first, to the Class CE Interest based on, and to the extent of, one month’s interest at the then applicable Pass-Through Rate on the Notional Amount of the Class CE Interest and, thereafter, among the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates on a pro rata basis based on, and to the extent of, one month’s interest at the then
applicable respective Pass-Through Rate on the respective Certificate Principal Balance of each such Certificate and (2) the aggregate amount of any Realized Losses incurred for any Distribution Date shall be allocated to the Class CE Interest based on, and to the extent of, one month’s interest at the then applicable Pass-Through Rate on the Notional Amount of the Class CE Interest.

 

 

For purposes of calculating the amount of Uncertificated Interest for the REMIC I Regular Interests for any Distribution Date, the aggregate amount of any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls (to the extent not covered by payments by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.24) and any Relief Act Interest Shortfalls incurred in respect of the Mortgage Loans for any Distribution Date shall be allocated among REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTA1A, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTA1B, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTA1C, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTA1D, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM1, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM2, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM3, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM4, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM5, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM6, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM7, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM8, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM9, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM10,

            SECTION 2.01.
 	
            Conveyance of the Mortgage Loans.
 

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

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

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

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

	
            (iii)
 	
            an original Assignment in blank;
 

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

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

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

 

 

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

The Depositor shall (at the expense of the Originator) promptly (within sixty Business Days following the later of the Closing Date and the date of receipt by the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee of the recording information for a Mortgage, but in no event later than 90 days following the Closing Date) submit or cause to be submitted for recording, at no expense to the Trust Fund, the Trustee or the Depositor, in the appropriate public office for real property records, each Assignment referred to in Sections 2.01(iii) and (iv) above and in connection therewith, the Depositor shall (at the expense of the Originator) cause each original Assignment to be executed in the following form: “Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee under the applicable agreement.”  In the event that any such Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Depositor
shall (at the expense of the Originator) promptly prepare or cause to be prepared a substitute Assignment or cure or cause to be cured such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly recorded.

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

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

 

 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Assignments of Mortgage shall not be required to be submitted for recording (except with respect to any Mortgage Loan located in Maryland) unless the Depositor is informed by the Rating Agencies that such failure to record would result in a withdrawal or a downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of Certificates; provided, however, each Assignment shall be submitted in the manner described above, at no expense to the Trust Fund or the Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of:  (i) reasonable direction by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights, (ii) the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Originator, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02 hereof, (v) upon receipt of notice from the

Upon the occurrence of one of the events set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Depositor shall (at the expense of the Originator) deliver such Assignments for recording as provided above, promptly and in any event within 30 days following receipt of notice by the Servicer.

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

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

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

 

delivered to or held by the Depositor that is not required pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, shall be delivered promptly to the Servicer.

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

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

	
            SECTION 2.02.
 	
            Acceptance of REMIC I by Trustee.
 

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

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

 

or (ii) to determine whether any Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified in clause (v) of Section 2.01.

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

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

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

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

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

(a)        Upon discovery or receipt of notice of any materially defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of the breach by the Originator or the Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (including any representation, warranty or covenant regarding the Prepayment Charge Schedule) in respect of any Mortgage Loan that materially adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Originator, the Seller and the Servicer of such defect, missing document or breach and request that the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, deliver such missing document or cure 

 

such defect or breach within 90 days from the date the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, was notified of such missing document, defect or breach, and if the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects during such period, the Servicer, to the extent it is not the Originator, the Seller or an Affiliate of the Seller, and otherwise the Trustee, in accordance with Section 3.02(b), shall enforce the obligations of the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from REMIC I at the Purchase Price within 90 days after the date on which the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, was notified (subject to Section 2.03(c)) of such missing document, defect or breach, if and to the extent that the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, is
obligated to do so under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.  The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be remitted to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account and the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), upon receipt of written certification from the Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.  The Trustee shall not have any further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File (it being understood that neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall have any responsibility for determining the sufficiency of such assignment for its intended purpose).  In lieu of repurchasing any
such Mortgage Loan as provided above, if so provided in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from REMIC I (in which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(b); provided, however, the Originator may not substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for any Deleted Mortgage Loan that violates any predatory or abusive lending law.  It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, to cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee and the
Certificateholders.

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

As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, delivering to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by Section 2.01, together with an Officers’ Certificate providing that each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Adjustment Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution.  In accordance with the Custodial Agreement, the Trustee shall cause the Custodian to acknowledge receipt for such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or 

 

Loans and, within ten Business Days thereafter, review such documents as specified in Section 2.02 and cause the Custodian to deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer, with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.  Within one year of the date of substitution, in accordance with the Custodial Agreement, the Trustee shall cause the Custodian to deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 hereto with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.  Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of REMIC I and will be retained by the Originator or the Seller, as
applicable.  For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan on or before the Due Date in the month of substitution, and the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan.  The Depositor shall give or cause to be given written notice to the Certificateholders that such substitution has taken place, shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee and the Custodian.  Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, including, all applicable representations and warranties thereof included in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

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

In addition, the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on any Trust REMIC, including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on “prohibited transactions” under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on 

 

“contributions after the startup date” under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or (b) any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.

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

Subject to Section 7.01, unless such breach shall not be susceptible of cure within 90 days, the obligation of the Servicer set forth in this Section 2.05 to cure breaches shall constitute the sole remedy against the
Servicer available to the Certificateholders, the Depositor and the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders respecting a breach of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Section 2.05.

ARTICLE III

 

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING

OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS

	
            SECTION 3.01.
 	
            Servicer to Act as Servicer.
 

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

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

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

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

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

To the extent consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer (a) shall seek the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage Notes and (b) shall waive (or permit a Sub-Servicer to waive) a Prepayment Charge only under the following circumstances: (i) such waiver is standard and customary in servicing similar Mortgage Loans, relates to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) such Prepayment Charge is unenforceable in accordance with applicable law or the collection of such related Prepayment Charge would otherwise violate applicable law.  If a Prepayment Charge is waived as permitted by meeting the standards described in clause (ii) above, then the Servicer (in its capacity as
Originator) shall be required to pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge, for the benefit of the Holders of the P Certificates, by depositing such amount into the Collection Account together with and at the time the amounts prepaid on the related Mortgage Loan is required to be deposited into the Collection Account.  Subject only to the above-described servicing standards and the terms of this Agreement and of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through Sub-Servicers as provided in Section 3.02, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer in its own name or in the name of a Sub-Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee when the Servicer believes it appropriate in its best judgment in accordance with the servicing standards 

 

set forth above, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, and upon notice to the Trustee, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the ownership of such properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such properties, on behalf of the Trustee and Certificateholders.  The Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable state and federal law and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be provided to them thereby.  The Servicer shall also comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any standard
hazard insurance policy.  Subject to Section 3.17, within 15 days of the Closing Date, the Trustee shall execute, at the written request of the Servicer, and furnish to the Servicer and any Sub-Servicer any special or limited powers of attorney for each county in which a Mortgaged Property is located and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer to carry out their servicing and administrative duties hereunder; provided, such limited powers of attorney or other documents shall be prepared by the Servicer and submitted to the Trustee for execution.  The Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of the Servicer or any Sub-Servicers under such powers of attorney.

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

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer may not make any future advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan (except as provided in Section 4.03) and the Servicer shall not (i) permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Rate, reduce or increase the Stated Principal Balance (except for reductions resulting from actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan (unless, as provided in Section 3.07, the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) or (ii) permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would both (A) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (B)
cause any Trust REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions after the startup date” under the REMIC Provisions.

 

 

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

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

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

(b)        As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, including, without limitation, any obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments as required by a Sub-Servicing Agreement, or to purchase a Mortgage Loan on account of missing or defective documentation or on account of a 

 

breach of a representation, warranty or covenant, as described in Section 2.03(a).  Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements, and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans.  The Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed.  Enforcement of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
against the Originator or the Seller shall be effected by the Servicer to the extent it is not the Originator, and otherwise by the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph.

	
            SECTION 3.03.
 	
            Successor Sub-Servicers.
 

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

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

	
            SECTION 3.04.
 	
            Liability of the Servicer.
 

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

 

 

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

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

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

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

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

	
            SECTION 3.07.
 	
            Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.
 

The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any applicable insurance policies, follow such collection procedures as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account.  Consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or, if applicable, any penalty interest, or (ii) extend the due dates for the Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not greater than 180 days; provided, however, that any extension pursuant to clause (ii) above shall not affect the amortization schedule of any
Mortgage Loan for purposes of any computation hereunder, except as provided below.  In the event of any such arrangement pursuant to clause 

 

(ii) above, the Servicer shall make Advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant to Section 4.03 and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, the Servicer, consistent with the standards set forth in Section 3.01, may also waive, modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including modifications that would change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest, capitalize past due Monthly Payments and outstanding Servicing Advances or extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan), accept payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated Principal Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan, or
consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant indulgence to any Mortgagor (any and all such waivers, modifications, variances, forgiveness of principal or interest, postponements, or indulgences collectively referred to herein as “forbearance”), provided, however, that in no event shall the Servicer grant any such forbearance (other than as permitted by the second sentence of this Section) with respect to any one Mortgage Loan more than once in any 12 month period or more than three times over the life of such Mortgage Loan.  The Servicer’s analysis supporting any forbearance and the conclusion that any forbearance meets the standards of Section 3.01 shall be reflected in writing in the Mortgage File.

	
            SECTION 3.08.
 	
            Sub-Servicing Accounts.
 

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

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

The Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more accounts (the “Servicing Accounts”), into which all Escrow Payments shall be deposited and retained.  Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts.  The Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Servicer’s receipt thereof, all Escrow Payments 

 

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

	
            SECTION 3.10.
 	
            Collection Account and Distribution Account.
 

(a)        On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more accounts (such account or accounts, the “Collection Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders.  On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the clearing account in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Servicer’s receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the Collection Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the Servicer’s receipt thereof, as and when received or as otherwise required hereunder, the following payments and 

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

Available Distribution Amount (calculated without regard to the references in the definition thereof to amounts that may be withdrawn from the Distribution Account) for the related Distribution Date then on deposit in the Collection Account, the amount of all Prepayment Charges collected during the applicable Prepayment Period by the Servicer and Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts in connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of the Mortgage Loans then on deposit in the Collection Account and the amount of any funds reimbursable to an Advancing Person pursuant to Section 3.29, and (ii) on each Business Day as of the commencement of which the balance on deposit in the Collection Account exceeds $75,000 following any withdrawals pursuant to the next succeeding sentence, the amount of such excess, but only if the Collection Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of
the definition of “Eligible Account.”  If the balance on deposit in the Collection Account exceeds $75,000 as of the commencement of business on any Business Day and the Collection Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of “Eligible Account,” the Servicer shall, on or before 1:00 p.m. New York time on such Business Day, withdraw from the Collection Account any and all amounts payable or reimbursable to the Servicer, the Trustee, the Originator or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11 and shall pay such amounts to the Persons entitled thereto.

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

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

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

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

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

 

 

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

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

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

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

(a)        The Servicer shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Collection Account for any of the following purposes or as described in Section 4.03:

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

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

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

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

(v)        to pay to the Originator, with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has previously been purchased or replaced pursuant to Section 2.03 or Section 3.16(c) all 

 

amounts received thereon subsequent to the date of purchase or substitution, as the case may be;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Collection Account, to the extent held by or on behalf of it, pursuant to subclauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii) and (viii) above.  The Servicer shall provide written notification to the Trustee, on or prior to the next succeeding Servicer Remittance Date, upon making any withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to subclause (vi) above; provided that an Officers’ Certificate in the form described under Section 4.03(d) shall suffice for such written notification to the Trustee in respect hereof.

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

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

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

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

 

 

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

 

(b)        All income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the Collection Account and any REO Account held by or on behalf of the Servicer shall be for the benefit of the Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.11 or Section 3.23, as applicable.  The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account or any REO Account, as applicable, the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such account immediately upon realization of such loss.

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

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

	
            SECTION 3.13.
 	
            [Reserved].
 

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

(a)        The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan hazard insurance with extended coverage on the Mortgaged Property in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the current principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis, in each case in an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to avoid the application of any coinsurance clause contained in the related hazard insurance policy.  The Servicer shall also cause to be maintained hazard insurance with extended coverage on each REO Property in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property and (ii) the outstanding Stated
Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan at the time it became an REO Property.  The Servicer will comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any such hazard policies.  Any amounts to be collected by the Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or amounts to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the procedures that the Servicer would follow in servicing 

 

loans held for its own account, subject to the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note) shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.11, if received in respect of a Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.23, if received in respect of an REO Property.  Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit.  It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.  If the
Mortgaged Property or REO Property is at any time in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and flood insurance has been made available, the Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy in respect thereof.  Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is participating in such program).

In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy with an insurer having a General Policy Rating of B:III or better in Best’s Key Rating Guide (or such other rating that is comparable to such rating) insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the first two sentences of this Section 3.14, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with the first two sentences of this Section 3.14, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such policy, deposit to the Collection Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket
policy because of such deductible clause.  In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.

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

 

maintain a policy of insurance covering errors and omissions and a fidelity bond which would meet such requirements.

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

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any assumption which the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatever.  For purposes of this Section 3.15, the term 

 

“assumption” is deemed to also include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property) subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability agreement.

	
            SECTION 3.16.
 	
            Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
 

(a)        The Servicer shall use its best efforts, in as practical a time frame as possible and consistent with Servicing Standard, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.07.  The Servicer shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that such costs and expenses will be recoverable as Servicing Advances by the Servicer as contemplated in Section 3.11 and Section 3.23.  The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall have
suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its discretion that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself for such expenses.

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

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

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

 

 

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

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

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

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

 

 

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

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

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

 

 

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

	
            SECTION 3.18.
 	
            Servicing Compensation.
 

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

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

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

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

Not later than twenty days after each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall forward to the Trustee (upon the Trustee’s request) and the Depositor the most current available bank 

 

statement for the Collection Account.  Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon request at the expense of the requesting party, provided such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee.

	
            SECTION 3.20.
 	
            Statement as to Compliance.
 

The Servicer will deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor not later than March 10th of each calendar year, commencing in 2006, an Officers’ Certificate stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers’ supervision and (ii) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such calendar year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof.  Copies of any such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Trustee as
a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon request at the expense of the requesting party, provided such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee.

	
            SECTION 3.21.
 	
            Independent Public Accountants’ Servicing Report.
 

Not later than March 10th of each calendar year, commencing in 2006, the Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants to furnish to the Servicer a report stating that (i) it has obtained a letter of representation regarding certain matters from the management of the Servicer which includes an assertion that the Servicer has complied with certain minimum residential mortgage loan servicing standards, identified in the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers established by the Mortgage Bankers Association of America, with respect to the servicing of residential mortgage loans during the most recently completed calendar year and (ii) on the basis of an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants, such representation is fairly stated in all material respects, subject to such exceptions and other qualifications that may be appropriate.  In rendering its report such firm may rely, as to matters relating to the direct servicing of residential mortgage loans by Sub-Servicers, upon comparable reports of firms of independent certified public accountants rendered on the basis of examinations conducted in accordance with the same standards (rendered within one year of such report) with respect to those Sub-Servicers.  Immediately upon receipt of such report, the Servicer shall furnish a copy of such report to the Trustee and each Rating Agency. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder upon request at the Servicer’s expense, provided that such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee.

	
            SECTION 3.22.
 	
            Access to Certain Documentation.
 

The Servicer shall provide to the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC, and any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any Certificateholder, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by 

 

applicable laws and regulations.  Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it.  In addition, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans will be provided to any Certificateholder, the Trustee and to any Person identified to the Servicer as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon reasonable request during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it at the expense of the Person requesting such access.

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

(a)        The deed or certificate of sale of any REO Property shall be taken in the name of Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee for Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust, Series 2005-OPT3, Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates or its nominee or the name of any successor Trustee, its nominee or any successor, in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders of Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust, Series 2005-OPT3, Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates.  The Servicer, on behalf of REMIC I, shall sell any REO Property as soon as practical and in any event no later than the end of the third full taxable year after the taxable year in which such REMIC acquires ownership of such REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or request from the Internal Revenue Service, no later than 60 days before the day on which the three-year grace
period would otherwise expire, an extension of such three-year period, unless the Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel and addressed to the Trustee and the Depositor, to the effect that the holding by the REMIC of such REO Property subsequent to three years after its acquisition will not result in the imposition on the REMIC of taxes on “prohibited transactions” thereof, as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause any of the REMICs created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC under Federal law at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.  The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by any of the REMICs created hereunder of any
“income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code, or any “net income from foreclosure property” which is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions.

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

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

 

Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited in the clearing account in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Servicer’s receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the REO Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the Servicer’s receipt thereof, all revenues received by it with respect to an REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO Property including, without limitation:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

 

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

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

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

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

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

	
            SECTION 3.25.
 	
            [Reserved].
 

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

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

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 3.26 shall not limit the ability of the Servicer to seek recovery of any such amounts from the related Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Note, as permitted by law.

	
            SECTION 3.27.
 	
            Solicitations.
 

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

	
            SECTION 3.28.
 	
            Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.
 

No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain with itself a separate, segregated trust account titled, “Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee, in trust for the registered holders of Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust, Series 2005-OPT3, Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates.”  The amounts deposited in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall consist of (i) any amounts deposited therein pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(4) and (ii) any amounts received by the Trustee under the Cap Contracts.

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

On each Distribution Date, after the payment of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts on the Class A Certificates and Mezzanine Certificates, any amounts remaining in the 

 

Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account (representing payments received by the Trustee under the Cap Contracts), shall be payable to the Trustee, subject to the immediately following paragraph.  For so long as any Class A Certificate or Mezzanine Certificate is beneficially owned by the Depositor or any of its Affiliates, the Depositor shall refund or cause such Affiliate to refund any amounts paid to it under the Cap Contracts to the Trustee who shall, pursuant to the terms of the related Cap Contract, return such amount to the counterparty thereunder.

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

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

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

For federal tax return and information reporting, the value of the right to receive payments from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall be $104,866 and $87,304, with respect to the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates, respectively.

	
            SECTION 3.29.
 	
            Advance Facility.
 

(a)        The Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into a facility with any Person which provides that such Person (an “Advancing Person”) may fund Advances and/or Servicing Advances to the Trust Fund under this Agreement, although no such facility shall reduce or otherwise affect the Servicer’s obligation to fund such Advances and/or Servicing Advances.  If the Servicer enters into such an Advance Facility pursuant to this Section 3.29, upon reasonable request of the Advancing Person, the Trustee shall execute a letter of acknowledgment, confirming its receipt of notice of the existence of such Advance Facility.  In no event shall the Trustee be required to consent to or monitor such Advance Facility.  To the extent that an 

 

Advancing Person funds any Advance or any Servicing Advance and provides the Trustee with notice acknowledged by the Servicer that such Advancing Person is entitled to reimbursement, such Advancing Person shall be entitled to receive reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement for such amount to the extent provided in Section 3.29(b).  Such notice from the Advancing Person must specify the amount of the reimbursement, the Section of this Agreement that permits the applicable Advance or Servicing Advance to be reimbursed and the section(s) of the Advance Facility that entitle the Advancing Person to request reimbursement from the Trustee, rather than the Servicer, and include the Servicer’s acknowledgment thereto or proof of an Event of Default under the Advance Facility.  The Trustee shall have no duty or liability with respect to any calculation of any reimbursement to be paid to an Advancing Person and
shall be entitled to rely without independent investigation on the Advancing Person’s notice provided pursuant to this Section 3.29. An Advancing Person whose obligations hereunder are limited to the funding of Advances and/or Servicing Advances shall not be required to meet the qualifications of a Servicer or a Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 6.06 hereof and will not be deemed to be a Sub-Servicer under this Agreement.

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

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

(d)        Any amendment to this Section 3.29 or to any other provision of this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an Advance Facility as described generally in this Section 3.29, including amendments to add provisions relating to a successor master servicer, may be entered into by the Trustee and the Servicer without the consent of any Certificateholder, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement.

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

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

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

(ii)         sequentially, to the Holders of the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class M-7, Class M-8, Class M-9, Class M-10 and Class M-11 Certificates in that order, in each case, in an amount equal to the Interest Carry Forward Amount allocable to such Class of Certificates;

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

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

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

(C)       concurrently, to each Class of Class A Certificates, the related Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount remaining undistributed pursuant to clause (A) above, on a pro rata basis based on such respective remaining Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts; and

(D)       sequentially, to the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class M-7, Class M-8, Class M-9, Class M-10 and Class M-11 Certificates, in that order, the related Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount remaining undistributed pursuant to clause (B) above.

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

 

 

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

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

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

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

(e)        Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the Trustee expects that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates will be made on the 

 

next Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, no later than three (3) days before the related Distribution Date (to the extent that an accurate Remittance Report is received in a timely manner by the Trustee), mail to each Holder on such date of such Class of Certificates a notice to the effect that:

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

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

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

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

            SECTION 4.03.
 	
            Remittance Reports; Advances.
 

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

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

By 1:00 p.m. New York time on the Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit in immediately available funds to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties for the related Distribution Date either (i) from its own funds or (ii) from the Collection Account, to the extent of funds held therein for future distribution (in which case it will cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of Collection Account that amounts held for future distribution have been, as permitted by this Section 4.03, used by the Servicer in discharge of any such Advance) or (iii) in the form of any 

 

combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of Advances to be made by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.  Any amounts held for future distribution and so used shall be appropriately reflected in the Servicer’s records and replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on or before any future Servicer Remittance Date to the extent that the Available Distribution Amount for the related Distribution Date (determined without regard to Advances to be made on the Servicer Remittance Date) shall be less than the total amount that would be distributed to the Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.01 on such Distribution Date if such amounts held for future distributions had not been so used to make Advances.  The Trustee will provide notice to the Servicer by telecopy by the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date in
the event that the amount remitted by the Servicer to the Trustee on such date is less than the Advances required to be made by the Servicer for the related Distribution Date.

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

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

	
            SECTION 4.04.
 	
            Allocation of Realized Losses.
 

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

 

 

(b)        All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date as follows: first, to the Accrued Certificate Interest for the Class CE Certificates for the related Interest Accrual Period; second, to the Class CE Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; third, to the Class M-11 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, fourth, to the Class M-10 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, fifth, to the Class M-9 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, sixth, to the Class M-8 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; seventh, to the Class M-7 Certificates, until the Certificate
Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; eighth, to the Class M-6 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; ninth, to the Class M-5 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, tenth, to the Class M-4 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, eleventh, to the Class M-3 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, twelfth, to the Class M-2 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero and thirteenth, to the Class M-1 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero.

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

Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Mezzanine Certificate or Class A-1B Certificate on any Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance thereof by the amount so allocated and any allocation of Realized Losses to a Class CE Certificates shall be made by reducing the amount otherwise payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(4).  No allocations of any Realized Losses shall be made to the Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A Certificates (other than the Class A-1B Certificates) or the Class P Certificates.

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

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

            SECTION 4.05.
 	
            Compliance with Withholding Requirements
 

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

 

 

	
            SECTION 4.06.
 	
            Exchange Commission; Additional Information.
 

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

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

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

 

20th of each year (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day).

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

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

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

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

 

 

ARTICLE V

 

THE CERTIFICATES

	
            SECTION 5.01.
 	
            The Certificates.
 

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

The Certificates will be substantially in the forms annexed hereto as Exhibits A-1 through A-19.  The Certificates of each Class will be issuable in registered form only, in denominations of authorized Percentage Interests as described in the definition thereof.  Each Certificate will share ratably in all rights of the related Class.

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

(b)        The Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates shall initially be issued as one or more Certificates held by the Book-Entry Custodian or, if appointed to hold such Certificates as provided below, the Depository and registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and, except as provided below, registration of such Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository that agrees to hold such Certificates for the respective Certificate Owners with Ownership Interests therein. The Certificate Owners shall hold their respective Ownership Interests in and to such Certificates through the book-entry facilities of the Depository and, except as provided below, shall not be entitled to definitive, fully registered Certificates (“Definitive Certificates”) in respect of such Ownership Interests.
All transfers by Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer the Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s normal procedures. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed as the Book-Entry Custodian and hereby agrees to act as such in accordance herewith and in accordance with the agreement that it has with the Depository authorizing it to act as such. The Book-Entry Custodian may, and, if it is no longer qualified to act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian shall, appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and, if the Trustee is not the 

 

Book-Entry Custodian, the Trustee, any other transfer agent (including the Depository or any successor Depository) to act as Book-Entry Custodian under such conditions as the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian and the Depository or any successor Depository may prescribe, provided that the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities by reason of any such appointment of other than the Depository. If the Trustee resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, the successor Trustee or, if it so elects, the Depository shall immediately succeed to its predecessor’s duties as Book-Entry Custodian. The Depositor shall have the right to inspect, and to obtain copies of, any Certificates held as Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian.

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

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

 

 

	
            SECTION 5.02.
 	
            Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
 

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

(b)        No transfer of any Class M-10 Certificate, Class M-11 Certificate, Class CE Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate (the “Private Certificates”) shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer of a Private Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification (other than in connection with (i) the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an Affiliate of the Depositor or, in the case of the Residual Certificates, the first transfer by an Affiliate of the Depositor, (ii)
the transfer of any such Class CE, Class P or Residual Certificate to the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture or (iii) a transfer of any such Class CE, Class P or Residual Certificate from the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor), the Trustee shall require receipt of: (i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications from the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and from such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit F-1; and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such registration (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer in its capacity as such or any Sub-Servicer), together with copies
of the written certification(s) of the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is based, if any.  None of the Depositor or the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify any such Certificates under the 1933 Act or any other securities laws or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer of any such Certificate shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any such transfer of any Ownership Interest in any Private Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate, except with respect to the initial transfer of any such Ownership Interest by the Depositor, such transfer shall be required to be made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, and the transferee will be deemed to have made each of the transferee representations and warranties set forth Exhibit F-1 hereto in respect of such interest as if it was evidenced by a Definitive Certificate.  The Certificate Owner of any such Ownership Interest in any such Book-Entry Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee and the Depositor 

 

against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

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

No transfer of a Private Certificate or any interest therein shall be made to any Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any Person acquiring such Certificates with “Plan Assets” of a Plan within the meaning of the Department of Labor regulation promulgated at 29 C.F.R.§ 2510.3-101 (“Plan Assets”), as certified by such transferee in the form of Exhibit G, unless (i) in the case of a Class CE Certificate, a Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate, the Trustee is provided with an Opinion of Counsel on which the Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer may rely, to the effect that the purchase of such Certificates is permissible under ERISA and the Code, will not constitute or result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not
subject the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund to any obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund or (ii) in the case of a Class M-10 Certificate or Class M-11 Certificate, (A) such Person has acquired and is holding the Certificate in reliance on the Underwriter’s Exemption, and it understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of the Underwriter’s Exemption, including that the Certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than “BBB-” (or its equivalent) by Fitch, Moody’s or S&P and that the beneficial owner is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (B) (1) such Person is an insurance company, (2)
the source of funds used to acquire or hold the Certificate or interest therein is an “insurance company general account,” as such term is defined in Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60 and (3) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied. Neither a certification nor an Opinion of Counsel will be required in connection with (i) the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an Affiliate of the Depositor or, in the case of the Residual Certificates, the first transfer by an Affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the transfer of any such Class C, Class P or Residual Certificate to the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture or (iii) a transfer of any such Class C, Class P or Residual Certificate from the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor (in which case, the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof
shall have deemed to have represented that such Affiliate is not a Plan or a Person investing Plan Assets) and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the request of the Trustee, shall be a written representation) from the Depositor of the status of such transferee as an affiliate of the Depositor.

Each beneficial owner of a Mezzanine Certificate (other than a Class M-10 Certificate or Class M-11 Certificate) or any interest therein shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of that certificate or interest therein, that either (i) it is not a 

 

Plan investor, (ii) it has acquired and is holding such Mezzanine Certificate in reliance on the Underwriters’ Exemption, and that it understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of the Underwriters’ Exemption, including that such Mezzanine Certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than “BBB-” (or its equivalent) by Fitch, S&P or Moody’s and the Certificates are so rated or (iii) (1) it is an insurance company, (2) the source of funds used to acquire or hold the Certificate or interest therein is an “insurance company general account,” as such term is defined in PTCE 95-60, and (3) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.

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

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

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

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

(C)       Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee who 

 

is assigned to this transaction has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected.

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

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

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

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

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

 

be remitted by the Trustee to such purported Transferee. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (iii)(B) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Trustee, and the Trustee shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.

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

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

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

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

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

(e)        At the option of the Holder thereof, any Certificate may be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class with authorized denominations and a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of such Certificate to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Trustee maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12.  Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every 

 

Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.  In addition, (i) with respect to each Class R Certificate, the Holder thereof may exchange, in the manner described above, such Class R Certificate for three separate Certificates, each representing such Holder’s  respective Percentage Interest in the Class R-I Interest and the Class R-II Interest, respectively, in each case that was evidenced by the Class R Certificate being exchanged and (ii) with respect to each Class R-X Certificate, the Holder thereof may exchange, in the manner described above, such Class R-X Certificate for two separate Certificates, each representing such Holder’s  respective
Percentage Interest in the Class R-III Interest and the Class R-IV Interest, respectively, in each case that was evidenced by the Class R-X Certificate being exchanged.

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

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

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

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

	
            SECTION 5.04.
 	
            Persons Deemed Owners.
 

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

 

 

	
            SECTION 5.05.

On or prior to the date of the first sale of any Private Certificate to an Independent third party, the Depositor shall provide to the Trustee ten copies of any private placement memorandum or other disclosure document used by the Depositor in connection with the offer and sale of such Certificates. In addition, if any such private placement memorandum or disclosure document is revised, amended or supplemented at any time following the delivery thereof to the Trustee, the Depositor promptly shall inform the Trustee of such event and shall deliver to the Trustee ten copies of the private placement memorandum or disclosure document, as revised, amended or supplemented. The Trustee shall maintain at its Corporate Trust Office and shall make available free of charge during normal business hours for review by any Holder of a Certificate, a Certificate Owner or any Person identified to the
Trustee as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, originals or copies of the following items: (i) in the case of a Holder, a Certificate Owner or prospective transferee of a Private Certificate, the related private placement memorandum or other disclosure document relating to such Class of Certificates, in the form most recently provided to the Trustee; and (ii) in all cases, (A) this Agreement and any amendments hereof entered into pursuant to Section 11.01, (B) all monthly statements required to be delivered to Certificateholders of the relevant Class pursuant to Section 4.02 since the Closing Date, and all other notices, reports, statements and written communications delivered to the Certificateholders of the relevant Class pursuant to this Agreement since the Closing Date, (C) all certifications delivered by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee since the Closing Date pursuant to Section 10.01(h), (D) any and all Officers’ Certificates delivered to the Trustee by the

Copies and mailing of any and all of the foregoing items will be available from the Trustee upon request at the expense of the Person requesting the same.

THE DEPOSITOR AND THE SERVICER

	
            SECTION 6.01.
 	
            Liability of the Depositor and the Servicer.
 

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

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

Subject to the following paragraph, the Depositor will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation. Subject to the following paragraph, the Servicer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation.  The Depositor and the Servicer each will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.

The Depositor or the Servicer may be merged or consolidated with or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Depositor or the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor or the Servicer, shall be the successor of the Depositor or the Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person to the Servicer shall be qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac; and provided further that the Rating Agencies’ ratings of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates in effect immediately prior to
such merger or consolidation will not be qualified, reduced or withdrawn as a result thereof (as evidenced by a letter to such effect from the Rating Agencies).

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

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

 

defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against the Certificateholder in respect of such claim.  The provisions of this Section 6.03 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the outstanding Certificates.

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

	
            SECTION 6.04.
 	
            Limitation on Resignation of the Servicer.
 

(a)        Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 and Section 6.02, the Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (i) upon determination that the performance of its obligations or duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it or its subsidiaries or Affiliates, the other activities of the Servicer so causing such a conflict being of a type and nature carried on by the Servicer or its subsidiaries 

 

or Affiliates at the date of this Agreement or (ii) upon satisfaction of the following conditions: (a) the Servicer has proposed a successor servicer to the Trustee in writing and such proposed successor servicer is reasonably acceptable to the Depositor and (b) each Rating Agency shall have delivered a letter to the Trustee prior to the appointment of the successor servicer stating that the proposed appointment of such successor servicer as Servicer hereunder will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the then current rating of the Certificates; provided, however, that no such resignation by the Servicer shall become effective until such successor servicer or, in the case of (i) above, the Trustee shall have assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder or the Trustee shall have designated, a successor servicer in accordance with Section 7.02. Any such resignation shall not
relieve the Servicer of responsibility for any of the obligations specified in Sections 7.01 and 7.02 as obligations that survive the resignation or termination of the Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to clause (i) above shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee.]

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

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

The Servicer shall afford (and any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall provide that each Sub-Servicer shall afford) the Depositor and the Trustee, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours, access to all records maintained by the Servicer (and any such Sub-Servicer) in respect of the Servicer’s rights and obligations hereunder and access to officers of the Servicer (and those of any such Sub-Servicer) responsible for such obligations.  Upon request, the Servicer shall furnish to the Depositor and the Trustee its (and any such Sub-Servicer’s) most recent financial statements and such other information relating to the Servicer’s capacity to perform its obligations under this Agreement as it possesses (and that any such Sub-Servicer possesses). To the extent such information is not otherwise available to the public, the Depositor and the Trustee shall not disseminate any
information obtained pursuant to the preceding two sentences without the Servicer’s written consent, except as required pursuant to this Agreement or to the extent that it is appropriate to do so (i) in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies or (ii) pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Depositor and the Trustee or the Trust Fund, and in any case, the Depositor or the Trustee, (iii) disclosure of any and all information that is or becomes publicly known, or information obtained by the Trustee from sources other than the Depositor or the Servicer, (iv) disclosure as required pursuant to this Agreement or (v) disclosure of any and all information (A) in any preliminary or final offering circular, registration statement or contract or 

 

other document pertaining to the transactions contemplated by the Agreement approved in advance by the Depositor or the Servicer or (B) to any affiliate, independent or internal auditor, agent, employee or attorney of the Trustee having a need to know the same, provided that the Trustee advises such recipient of the confidential nature of the information being disclosed as the case may be, shall use its best efforts to assure the confidentiality of any such disseminated non-public information. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Servicer under this Agreement or exercise the rights of the Servicer under this Agreement; provided that the Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations under this Agreement by virtue of such
performance by the Depositor or its designee. The Depositor shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Servicer and is not obligated to supervise the performance of the Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.

DEFAULT

	
            SECTION 7.01.
 	
            Servicer Events of Default.
 

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

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

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

(iii)        a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceeding, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 90 days; or

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

 

 

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

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

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

 

such a Servicer Event of Default is received by the Trustee and such notice references the Certificates, the Trust Fund or this Agreement.

	
            SECTION 7.02.
 	
            Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
 

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

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

(2)        No appointment of a successor to the Servicer under this Agreement shall be effective until the assumption by the successor of all of the Servicer’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder. In connection with such appointment and assumption described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Servicer as such hereunder. The Depositor, the Trustee  and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this 

 

Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer under this Agreement, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided.

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

	
            SECTION 7.03.
 	
            Notification to Certificateholders.
 

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

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

	
            SECTION 7.04.
 	
            Waiver of Servicer Events of Default.
 

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

 

 

 

ARTICLE VIII

 

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

	
            SECTION 8.01.
 	
            Duties of Trustee.
 

The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default and after the curing of all Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement.  During a Servicer Event of Default, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.  Any permissive right of the Trustee enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty.

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

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

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

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

(iii)        The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred upon it, under this Agreement.

 

 

	
            SECTION 8.02.
 	
            Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
 
	
            (a)
 	
            Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
 	
             

				

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

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

(iii)        The Trustee shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee  security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default (which has not been cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a
prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs;

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

(v)        Prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default hereunder and after the curing of all Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee not reasonably assured to the Trustee by such Certificateholders, the Trustee may require indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to it against such expense or liability from such Certificateholders as a condition to taking any such action;

(vi)        The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, accountants or attorneys, 

 

custodians or nominees, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agents, accountants or attorneys appointed with due care by it hereunder;

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

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

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

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

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

	
            SECTION 8.04.
 	
            Trustee May Own Certificates.

            SECTION 8.05.
 	
            Trustee’s Fees and Expenses.
 

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

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

(b)        The Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee from, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense resulting from a breach of the Servicer’s obligations and duties under this Agreement.  Such indemnity shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.  Any payment hereunder made by the Servicer to the Trustee shall be from the Servicer’s own funds, without reimbursement from the Trust Fund therefor.

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

 

 

	
            SECTION 8.06.
 	
            Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
 

The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or an association (other than the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer or any Affiliate of the foregoing) organized and doing business under the laws of any state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority.  If such corporation or association publishes reports of conditions at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.  In case at any time the Trustee shall cease
to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.

	
            SECTION 8.07.
 	
            Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.
 

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

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

The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered to the Depositor, one complete set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed.  A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders and the Servicer by the Depositor.

 

 

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

	
            SECTION 8.08.
 	
            Successor Trustee.
 

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

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

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register.  If the Depositor fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor.

	
            SECTION 8.09.
 	
            Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
 

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

	
            SECTION 8.10.
 	
            Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
 

Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of REMIC I or property securing the same may at the time be located, the Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall 

 

have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of REMIC I, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to REMIC I, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable.  Any such co-trustee or separate trustee shall be subject to the written approval of the Servicer.  If the Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case a Servicer Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment.  No co-trustee or
separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to Holders of Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 8.08 hereof.  The Servicer shall be responsible for the fees of any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed under this Section 8.10.

In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed by the Trustee (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to REMIC I or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.

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

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

 

 

	
            SECTION 8.11.
 	
            Appointment of the Custodian.
 

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

	
            SECTION 8.12.
 	
            Appointment of Office or Agency.
 

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

	
            SECTION 8.13.
 	
            Representations and Warranties of the Trustee.
 

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

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

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

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

 

 

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

TERMINATION

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

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

Subject to Section 3.10 hereof, the purchase by the Terminator of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I shall be at a price equal to the greater of (i) the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and the appraised value of any REO Properties (such appraisal to be conducted by an Independent appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Terminator and, to the extent that the Class A Certificates or a Class of Mezzanine Certificates will not receive all amounts owed to it as a result of the termination, the Trustee, in their reasonable discretion) and (ii) the fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and the REO Properties (as determined by the Terminator and, to the extent that the Class A Certificates or a Class of Mezzanine Certificates will not receive all amounts owed to it as a result of the termination, the Trustee (it being understood and agreed that any
determination by the Trustee shall be made solely in reliance on an appraisal by an Independent appraiser as provided above)), as of the close of business on the third Business Day next preceding the date upon which notice of any such termination is furnished to the related Certificateholders pursuant to Section 9.01(c), in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the weighted average of the Mortgage Rates through the end of the Due Period preceding the final Distribution Date plus unreimbursed Servicing Advances, Advances, any unpaid Servicing Fees allocable to such Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and any accrued and unpaid Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts (the “Termination Price”); provided, however, such option may only be exercised if the Termination Price is sufficient to pay all interest accrued on, as well as amounts necessary to retire the principal balance of, each class of notes issued pursuant to the Indenture.  If the determination of the fair market
value of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties shall be required to be made by the Terminator and an Independent appraiser as provided above, (A) such appraisal shall be 

 

obtained at no expense to the Trustee and (B) the Trustee may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such appraisal.

(b)        The majority Holder of the Class CE Certificates, or if such majority Holder fails to exercise such right, the Servicer, shall have the right (the party exercising such right, the “Terminator”), to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding paragraph no later than the Determination Date in the month immediately preceding the Distribution Date on which the Certificates will be retired; provided, however, that the Terminator may elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i) above only if the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund at the time of such election is reduced to less than 10% (in the case of the majority Holder of the
Class CE Certificates) or 5% (in the case of the Servicer) of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.  By acceptance of a Residual Certificate, the Holders of the Residual Certificates agree, in connection with any termination hereunder, to assign and transfer any amounts in excess of par, and to the extent received in respect of such termination, to pay any such amounts to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates.

(c)        Notice of the liquidation of the Certificates shall be given promptly by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed (a) in the event such notice is given in connection with the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property by the Terminator, not earlier than the 10th day and not later than the 20th day of the month next preceding the month of the final distribution on the related Certificates or (b) otherwise during the month of such final distribution on or before the Determination Date in such month, in each case specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which the Trust Fund will terminate and the final payment in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests, as applicable and the related Certificates will be made upon
presentation and surrender of the related Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment, (iii) that no interest shall accrue in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests or the related Certificates from and after the Interest Accrual Period relating to the final Distribution Date therefor and (iv) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the related Certificates at the office of the Trustee. In the event such notice is given in connection with the purchase of all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I by the Terminator, the Terminator shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account not later than the last Business Day of the month next preceding the month of the final distribution on the related Certificates an amount in immediately available funds equal to the above-described
purchase price. The Trustee shall remit to the Servicer from such funds deposited in the Distribution Account (i) any amounts which the Servicer would be permitted to withdraw and retain from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.11 and (ii) any other amounts otherwise payable by the Trustee to the Servicer from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, in each case prior to making any final distributions pursuant to Section 10.01(d) below. Upon certification to the Trustee by the Terminator of the making of such final deposit, the Trustee shall promptly release to the Terminator the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans, 

 

and the Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments necessary to effectuate such transfer.

Immediately following the deposit of funds in trust hereunder in respect of the Certificates, the Trust Fund shall terminate.

	
            SECTION 9.02.
 	
            Additional Termination Requirements.
 

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

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

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

(iii)        At the time of the making of the final payment on the Certificates, the Trustee shall distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited, to the Holders of the Residual Certificates in respect of the Class R-I Interest all cash on hand in the Trust Fund (other than cash retained to meet claims), and the Trust Fund shall terminate at that time.

(b)        At the expense of the requesting Terminator (or, if the Trust Fund is being terminated as a result of the occurrence of the event described in clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 9.01, at the expense of the Depositor without the right of reimbursement from the Trust Fund), the Terminator shall prepare or cause to be prepared the documentation required in connection with the adoption of a plan of liquidation of each Trust REMIC pursuant to this Section 9.02.

(c)        By their acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby agree to authorize the Trustee to specify the 90-day liquidation period for each Trust REMIC, which authorization shall be binding upon all successor Certificateholders.

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

(c)        The Trustee shall be reimbursed for any and all expenses relating to any tax audit of the Trust Fund (including, but not limited to, any professional fees or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to each Trust REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities), including the expense of obtaining any tax related Opinion of Counsel required to be obtained hereunder. The Trustee, as agent for each Trust REMIC’s tax matters person shall (i) act on behalf of the Trust Fund in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving any Trust REMIC and (ii) represent the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto.

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

 

 

(e)        The Trustee shall perform on behalf of each Trust REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority. Among its other duties, as required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other such compliance guidance, the Trustee shall provide (i) to any Transferor of a Residual Certificate such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or the REMIC Provisions including reports relating to interest, original issue discount and market discount or premium (using the

The Depositor shall provide or cause to be provided to the Trustee, within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, all information or data that the Trustee reasonably determines to be relevant for tax purposes as to the valuations and issue prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flow of the Certificates.

(f)         The Trustee shall take such action and shall cause each Trust REMIC created hereunder to take such action as shall be necessary to create or maintain the status thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions. The Trustee shall not take any action or cause the Trust Fund to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of each Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Trustee has received an Opinion of
Counsel, addressed to the Trustee (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action but in no event at the expense of the Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to any Trust REMIC, endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax, nor shall the Servicer take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Trustee has advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action; provided that the Servicer may conclusively rely on such Opinion of Counsel and shall incur no liability for its action or failure to act in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any Trust REMIC or the respective assets of each, or causing any Trust REMIC to take any action, which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer will consult with the Trustee or
its designee, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any Trust REMIC and the Servicer shall not take any such action or cause any Trust REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur; provided that the Servicer may conclusively rely on such writing and shall incur no liability for its action or failure to act in accordance with such writing. The Trustee may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not permitted by this Agreement, but in no event shall such cost be an expense of the Trustee. At all times as may be required by the Code, the Trustee will ensure that substantially all of the assets of REMIC I will consist of “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the 

 

Code and “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code, to the extent such obligations are within the Trustee’s control and not otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.

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

(h)        On or before April 15 of each calendar year, commencing April 15, 2005, the Trustee shall deliver to each Rating Agency an Officer’s Certificate of the Trustee stating the Trustee’s compliance with this Article X.

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

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

(k)        Neither the Trustee nor the Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which any Trust REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor knowingly permit any Trust REMIC to receive any income from assets other than “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

	
            SECTION 10.02.
 	
            Prohibited Transactions and Activities.
 

None of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee shall sell, dispose of or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans (except in connection with (i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to, the acquisition or sale of a Mortgaged Property acquired by deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of REMIC I, (iii) the termination of REMIC I pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant to Article II of this Agreement or (v) a purchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II or III of this Agreement), nor acquire any assets for any Trust REMIC (other than REO Property acquired in 

 

respect of a defaulted Mortgage Loan), nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Collection Account or the Distribution Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to any Trust REMIC after the Closing Date (other than a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in accordance with Section 2.03), unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee (at the expense of the party seeking to cause such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution but in no event at the expense of the Trustee) that such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution will not (a) affect adversely the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (b) cause any Trust REMIC to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

	
            SECTION 10.03.
 	
            Servicer and Trustee Indemnification.
 

(a)        The Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Depositor and the Servicer for any taxes and costs including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys’ fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the Depositor or the Servicer as a result of a breach of the Trustee’s covenants set forth in this Article X.

(b)        The Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Depositor and the Trustee for any taxes and costs including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys’ fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the Depositor or the Trustee, as a result of a breach of the Servicer’s covenants set forth in Article III or this Article X.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for purposes of the giving or withholding of consents pursuant to this Section 11.01, Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor or the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof shall be entitled to Voting Rights with respect to matters affecting such Certificates.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment (i) will not result in the imposition of any tax on any 

 

Trust REMIC pursuant to the REMIC Provisions or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding and (ii) is authorized or permitted hereunder.

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

It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 11.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as expressly provided for herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of any of the Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to 

 

time as partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.

No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 15 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or
proceeding.

For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Certificateholder, the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

However, in the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Depositor, then, (a) it is the express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor and (b)(1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York; (2) the conveyance provided for in Section 2.01 hereof shall be deemed

Accordingly, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other property described in clause (2) of the preceding sentence, for the purpose of securing to the Trustee the performance by the Depositor of the obligations described in clause (3) of the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto intend the conveyance pursuant to Section 2.01 to be a true, absolute and unconditional sale of the Mortgage Loans and assets constituting the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee.

            SECTION 12.01.

The Servicer shall send all such notices and reports to the Class CE Certificateholder in electronic format unless otherwise specified herein or agreed to in writing by the Class CE Certificateholder.

(i)         The Servicer shall, within ten Business Days after each Distribution Date, commencing in August 2005, provide to the Class CE Certificateholder a report of each Mortgage Loan in the Trust Fund, indicating the information contained in Exhibit L for the Due Period relating to such Distribution Date and to the extent such information is reasonably available to the Servicer.

(ii)         Within ten Business Days after each Distribution Date commencing in August 2005, the Servicer shall provide the Class CE Certificateholder with a report listing each Mortgage Loan that has liquidated or paid off. Such report shall specify, if applicable and to the extent the information is reasonably available to the Servicer: (a) mortgage loan number; (b) outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the mortgage loan upon its liquidation; (c) Realized Loss or gain; (d) Liquidation Proceeds; (e) payoff date; (f) Prepayment Charges collected.

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

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

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

 

 

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

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

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

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

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

(a)        All parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the Class CE Certificateholder’s advice is made in the form of directions, and that the Class CE Certificateholder has the right to direct the Servicer in performing its duties under this 

 

Agreement.  The Servicer must accept such advice, subject to the duties of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement.

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

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

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

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

The Servicer and the Class CE Certificateholder and any director, officer, employee or agent thereof may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.

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

 

 

(h)        The Class CE Certificateholder agrees that all information supplied by or on behalf of the Servicer shall be used by the Class CE Certificateholder only for the benefit of the Certificateholders of the Trust Fund.

ASSET BACKED PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE

evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a portion of a Trust Fund (the “Trust Fund”) consisting primarily of a pool of conventional one- to four-family, fixed-rate and adjustable-rate, first lien and second lien mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) formed and sold by

CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC.

THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC., THE SERVICER, THE TRUSTEE OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.

This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of a Percentage Interest (obtained by dividing the denomination of this Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-1A Certificates as of the Issue Date) in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Class A-1A Certificates in REMIC II 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 and the Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class A-1A Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

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

The Pass-Through Rate applicable to the calculation of interest payable with respect to this Certificate on any Distribution Date shall equal a rate per annum equal to the 

 

lesser of (i) the related Formula Rate for such Distribution Date and (ii) the related Net WAC Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date.

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

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

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

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

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

The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the 

 

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

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

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

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

 

 

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

CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC.

THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC., THE SERVICER, THE TRUSTEE OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.

This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of a Percentage Interest (obtained by dividing the denomination of this Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-1B Certificates as of the Issue Date) in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Class A-1B Certificates in REMIC II 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 and the Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class A-1B Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

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

The Pass-Through Rate applicable to the calculation of interest payable with respect to this Certificate on any Distribution Date shall equal a rate per annum equal to the 

 

lesser of (i) the related Formula Rate for such Distribution Date and (ii) the related Net WAC Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date.

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

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

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

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

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

The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the 

 

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

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

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

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

 

 

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

CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC.

THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC., THE SERVICER, THE TRUSTEE OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.

This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of a Percentage Interest (obtained by dividing the denomination of this Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-1C Certificates as of the Issue Date) in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Class A-1C Certificates in REMIC II 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 and the Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class A-1C Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

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

The Pass-Through Rate applicable to the calculation of interest payable with respect to this Certificate on any Distribution Date shall equal a rate per annum equal to the 

 

lesser of (i) the related Formula Rate for such Distribution Date and (ii) the related Net WAC Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date.

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

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

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

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

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

The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the 

 

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

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

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

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

 

 

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

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

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

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

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

The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the 

 

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

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

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

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

 

 

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

ASSET BACKED PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE

evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a portion of a Trust Fund (the “Trust Fund”) consisting primarily of a pool of conventional one- to four-family, fixed-rate and adjustable-rate, first lien and second lien mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) formed and sold by

CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC.

THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC., THE SERVICER, THE TRUSTEE OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.

This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of a Percentage Interest (obtained by dividing the denomination of this Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class M-2 Certificates as of the Issue Date) in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Class M-2 Certificates in REMIC II 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 and the Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

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

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

The Pass-Through Rate applicable to the calculation of interest payable with respect to this Certificate on any Distribution Date shall equal a rate per annum equal to the 

 

lesser of (i) the related Formula Rate for such Distribution Date and (ii) the related Net WAC Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date.

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

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

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

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

The Holder of this Certificate shall be deemed to have made the representations set forth in Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.

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

 

 

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

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

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

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

 

 

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

provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class M-3 Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

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

The Pass-Through Rate applicable to the calculation of interest payable with respect to this Certificate on any Distribution Date shall equal a rate per annum equal to the 

 

lesser of (i) the related Formula Rate for such Distribution Date and (ii) the related Net WAC Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date.

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

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

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.

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

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

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

evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a portion of a Trust Fund (the “Trust Fund”) consisting primarily of a pool of conventional one- to four-family, fixed-rate and adjustable-rate, first lien and second lien mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) formed and sold by

CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC.

THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC., THE SERVICER, THE TRUSTEE OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.

This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of a Percentage Interest (obtained by dividing the denomination of this Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class M-5 Certificates as of the Issue Date) in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Class M-5 Certificates in REMIC II 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 and the Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class M-5 Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

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

The Pass-Through Rate applicable to the calculation of interest payable with respect to this Certificate on any Distribution Date shall equal a rate per annum equal to the 

 

lesser of (i) the related Formula Rate for such Distribution Date and (ii) the related Net WAC Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date.

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

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

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

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

The Holder of this Certificate shall be deemed to have made the representations set forth in Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.

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

 

 

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

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

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

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

 

 

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

ASSET BACKED PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE

evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a portion of a Trust Fund (the “Trust Fund”) consisting primarily of a pool of conventional one- to four-family, fixed-rate and adjustable-rate, first lien and second lien mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) formed and sold by

CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC.

THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC., THE SERVICER, THE TRUSTEE OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.

This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of a Percentage Interest (obtained by dividing the denomination of this Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class M-6 Certificates as of the Issue Date) in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Class M-6 Certificates in REMIC II 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 and the Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class M-6 Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

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

The Pass-Through Rate applicable to the calculation of interest payable with respect to this Certificate on any Distribution Date shall equal a rate per annum equal to the 

 

lesser of (i) the related Formula Rate for such Distribution Date and (ii) the related Net WAC Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date.

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

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

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

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

The Holder of this Certificate shall be deemed to have made the representations set forth in Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.

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

 

 

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

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

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

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

 

 

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

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

ASSET BACKED PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE

evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a portion of a Trust Fund (the “Trust Fund”) consisting primarily of a pool of conventional one- to four-family, fixed-rate and adjustable-rate, first lien and second lien mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) formed and sold by

CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC.

THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC., THE SERVICER, THE TRUSTEE OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.

This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of a Percentage Interest (obtained by dividing the denomination of this Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class M-9 Certificates as of the Issue Date) in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Class M-9 Certificates in REMIC II 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 and the Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class M-9 Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

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

The Pass-Through Rate applicable to the calculation of interest payable with respect to this Certificate on any Distribution Date shall equal a rate per annum equal to the 

 

lesser of (i) the related Formula Rate for such Distribution Date and (ii) the related Net WAC Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date.

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

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

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

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

The Holder of this Certificate shall be deemed to have made the representations set forth in Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.

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

 

 

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

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

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

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

 

 

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

evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a portion of a Trust Fund (the “Trust Fund”) consisting primarily of a pool of conventional one- to four-family, fixed-rate and adjustable-rate, first lien and second lien mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) formed and sold by

CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC.

THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC., THE SERVICER, THE TRUSTEE OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.

This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of a Percentage Interest (obtained by dividing the denomination of this Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class M-10 Certificates as of the Issue Date) in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Class M-10 Certificates in REMIC II 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 and the Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class M-10 Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

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

The Pass-Through Rate applicable to the calculation of interest payable with respect to this Certificate on any Distribution Date shall equal a rate per annum equal to the 

 

lesser of (i) the related Formula Rate for such Distribution Date and (ii) the related Net WAC Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date.

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

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

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

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

No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and an effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification, the Trustee shall require receipt of written certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such Holder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit F-1.  None of the Depositor or the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or
to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor and the 

 

Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

The Holder of this Certificate shall be deemed to have made the representations set forth in Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.

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

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

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

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

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

 

 

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

In the event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification, the Trustee shall require receipt of written certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such Holder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit F-1.  None of the Depositor or the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

 

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

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

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class P Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

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

 

 

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

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

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

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

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

 

any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

 

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

ASSET BACKED PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE

evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a portion of a Trust Fund (the “Trust Fund”) consisting primarily of a pool of conventional one- to four-family, fixed-rate and adjustable-rate, first lien and second lien mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) formed and sold by

CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC.

THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC., THE SERVICER, THE TRUSTEE OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.

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

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class R Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

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

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

 

 

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

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

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

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

 

 

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

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

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

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

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

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement 

 

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

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

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

 

 

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

ASSET BACKED PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE

evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a portion of a Trust Fund (the “Trust Fund”) consisting primarily of a pool of conventional one- to four-family, fixed-rate and adjustable-rate, first lien and second lien mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) formed and sold by

CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC.

THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN CITIGROUP MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC., THE SERVICER, THE TRUSTEE OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.

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

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class R-X Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

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

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

 

 

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

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

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

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

 

 

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

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

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

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

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

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement 

 

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

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

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

 

 

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

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust, Inc. (the “Depositor”) has agreed to purchase certain conventional fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) from Citigroup Global Markets Realty Corp., (the “Seller”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2005, between the Depositor and the Seller (the “Purchase Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the Servicer is to service the Mortgage Loans on behalf of Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust, Series 2005-OPT3, under a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2005, among the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the Custodian is a national banking association chartered under the laws of the United States of America and regulated by the Comptroller of the Currency, and is otherwise authorized to act as Custodian pursuant to this Agreement.  With respect to each of the Mortgage Loans set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached as Exhibit 7 hereto, the Servicer desires to have the Custodian take possession of the Mortgages and Mortgage Notes, along with certain other documents specified herein, as the custodian of the Custodial Files, in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.

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

	
            1.
 	
            Definitions.
 

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

	
            2.
 	
            Delivery of Custodial Files.
 

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

 

 

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

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

	
            (iii)
 	
            an original Assignment in blank;
 

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

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

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

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Assignments of Mortgage shall not be required to be submitted for recording (except with respect to any Mortgage Loan located in Maryland and Florida) unless the Depositor is informed by the Rating Agencies that such failure to record would result in a withdrawal or a downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of Certificates; provided, however, each Assignment shall be submitted in the manner described above, at no expense to the Trust Fund or the Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of:  (i) reasonable direction by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights, (ii) the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Originator, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02 of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, (v) upon receipt of notice 

 

from the Servicer, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage and (vi) upon receipt of notice from the Servicer, any Mortgage Loan that is 90 days or more delinquent. Upon the occurrence of one of the events set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Depositor shall (a) give prompt written notice to the Custodian of such event and (b) at the expense of the Originator, deliver such Assignments for recording as provided above, promptly and in any event within 30 days following receipt of notice by the Servicer.

If any of the documents referred to in Sections 2(ii), (iii) or (iv) above has, as of the Closing Date, been submitted for recording but either (x) has not been returned from the applicable public recording office or (y) has been lost or such public recording office has retained the original of such document, the obligations of the Depositor to deliver such documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon (1) delivery to the Custodian of a copy of each such document certified by the Originator in the case of (x) above or the applicable public recording office in the case of (y) above to be a true and complete copy of the original that was submitted for recording and (2) if such copy is certified by the Originator, delivery to the Custodian, 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.  

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

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

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

The Custodian agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to review each Custodial File on or before the Closing Date and to certify in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (the “Trust Receipt and Initial Certification”) that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception report annexed thereto as not being covered by such certification), (i) all documents required to be delivered to it pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement are in its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and have not been mutilated, damaged or torn and appear on their face to relate to such Mortgage Loan and (iii) based on the Custodian’s examination and only as to the foregoing, the Mortgagor’s Name and the street address and city of the
Mortgaged Property, and the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items (i), (iii), (x)(A), (xii), (xv) and (xix) of the 

 

definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement accurately reflects information set forth in the Custodial File.  It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review, the Custodian was not under any duty or obligation (i) to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine whether they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or whether they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face or (ii) to determine whether any Custodial File should include any of the documents specified in clause (e) of Section 2.  

	
            4.
 	
            Obligations of the Custodian.
 

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

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

	
            5.
 	
            Final Trust Receipt.
 

Within one (1) year after the Closing Date, the Custodian shall review each Custodial File, and shall deliver to the Trustee (with a copy to the Depositor and the Servicer), a Final Trust Receipt attached hereto as Exhibit 2 to the effect that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan (i) paid in full, or (ii) specifically identified on such Final Trust Receipt as not covered by such Final Trust Receipt): (i) all documents required to be delivered to it pursuant to paragraphs (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (vi) and to the extent provided in the Custodial Files paragraph (v) of Section 2 of this Agreement are in its possession; (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan; (iii) based on the Custodian’s examination and only as to the foregoing, the Mortgagor’s Name and
the street address and city of the Mortgaged Property, and the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items (i), (iii), (x)(A), (xii), (xv) and (xix) of the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” in the Pooling and 

 

Servicing Agreement accurately reflects information set forth in the Custodial File.; and (iv) each Mortgage Note has been endorsed as provided in Section 2 of this Agreement and each Mortgage has been assigned in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement.

	
            6.
 	
            Future Defects.
 

During the term of this Agreement, if the Custodian discovers any defect with respect to the Custodial File, the Custodian shall give written specification of such defect to the Servicer and the Trustee.  For purposes of this Section, “defect” shall mean a failure of a document to correspond to the information set forth in the applicable Mortgage Loan Schedule or the absence in a Mortgage File of any document required pursuant to this Agreement.  The Servicer shall be solely responsible for completing or correcting any missing, incomplete or inconsistent documents, and the Custodian shall not be responsible or liable for taking or failing to take any such action, causing any other person or entity to do so or notifying any person that any such action has or has not been taken.

	
            7.
 	
            Release for Servicing.
 

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

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

	
            8.
 	
            Release for Payment.
 

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

 

 

	
            9.
 	
            Fees and Expenses of Custodian.
 

The Custodian shall be paid the amounts set forth in the Fee Schedule (“Fee Schedule”), between the Trustee and the Custodian, by the Trustee out of a portion of the Trustee Fee.  By each Determination Date, the Custodian shall notify the Trustee of amounts owed to the Custodian with respect to the related Distribution Date.  The payment of amounts to the Custodian in excess of those set forth in the Fee Schedule (as set forth in writing by the Custodian to the Trustee), shall be the obligation of the Trust Fund and shall be payable by the Trustee to the Custodian from amounts in the Distribution Account.  The obligations of the Trustee and the Trust Fund under this Section 9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Custodian.

 

	
            10.
 	
            Removal of Custodian.
 

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

	
            11.
 	
            Transfer of Custodial Files.
 

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

	
            12.
 	
            Examination of Custodial Files.
 

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

 

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

	
            13.
 	
            Insurance of Custodian.
 

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

	
            14.
 	
            Counterparts.
 

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

	
            15.
 	
            Periodic Statements.
 

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

 

	
            16.
 	
            GOVERNING LAW.
 

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

	
            17.
 	
            Copies of Mortgage Documents.
 

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

 

 

	
            18.
 	
            No Adverse Interest of Custodian.
 

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

	
            19.
 	
            Termination by Custodian.
 

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

	
            20.
 	
            Term of Agreement.
 

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

            23.
 	
            Indemnification of Custodian.
 

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

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

 

 

	
            24.
 	
            Reliance of Custodian.
 

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

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

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

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

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

(vi)        The Custodian may consult with counsel selected by the Custodian with regard to legal questions arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, and the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any 

 

action reasonably taken, omitted or suffered by the Custodian in good faith and in accordance therewith.

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

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

	
            25.
 	
            Transmission of Custodial Files.
 

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

	
            26.

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

            28.
 	
            Amendment.

MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This is a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated June 29, 2005, among Option One Mortgage Corporation, a California corporation (the “Originator”), Citigroup Global Markets Realty Corp., a New York corporation (the “Seller”) and Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”).

Preliminary Statement

The Seller intends to sell the Mortgage Loans (as hereinafter identified) to the Purchaser on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. The Purchaser intends to deposit the Mortgage Loans into a mortgage pool comprising the Trust Fund.  The Trust Fund will be evidenced by a single series of asset backed pass-through certificates designated as Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust, Series 2005-OPT3, Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates (the “Certificates”).  The Certificates will consist of seventeen classes of certificates and will be issued pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2005 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among the Depositor as depositor, Option One Mortgage Corporation as servicer (the “Servicer”) and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company as trustee (the “Trustee”).  Capitalized
terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The parties hereto agree as follows:

	
            SECTION 1.
 	
            Agreement to Purchase.
 

The Seller agrees to sell and the Purchaser agrees to purchase, on or before July 7, 2005 (the “Closing Date”), certain fixed-rate and adjustable-rate conventional, one-to four-family, first lien and second lien, residential mortgage loans purchased by the Seller from the Originator (the “Mortgage Loans”), having an aggregate principal balance as of the close of business on July 1, 2005, (the “Cut-off Date”) of $927,735,831.01 (the “Closing Balance”), after giving effect to all payments due on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date, whether or not received including the right to any Prepayment Charges payable by the related Mortgagors in connection with any Principal Prepayments on the Mortgage Loans, on an Originator servicing-retained basis.

	
            SECTION 2.
 	
            Mortgage Loan Schedule.
 

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

 

 

	
            SECTION 3.
 	
            Consideration.
 

(a)        In consideration for the Mortgage Loans to be purchased hereunder, the Purchaser shall, as described in Section 8, pay to or upon the order of the Seller in immediately available funds an amount (the “Purchase Price”) equal to the net sale proceeds of the Certificates.

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

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

	
            SECTION 4.
 	
            Transfer of the Mortgage Loans.
 

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

(b)        Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents.  The Seller will, on or prior to the Closing Date, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser each of the following documents for each Mortgage Loan:

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

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

	
            (iii)
 	
            an original Assignment in blank;
 

 

 

 

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

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

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

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

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

The Seller shall (at the expense of the Originator) promptly (within sixty Business Days following the later of the Closing Date and the date of receipt by the Seller of the recording information for a Mortgage, but in no event later than ninety days following the Closing Date) submit or cause to be submitted for recording, at no expense to the Trust Fund, the Trustee or the Purchaser, in the appropriate public office for real property records, each Assignment referred to in Sections 4(b)(iii) and (iv) above and the Seller shall execute each original Assignment or cause each original Assignment to be executed in the following form: “Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee under the applicable agreement.”  In the event that any such 

 

Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Seller shall promptly prepare or cause to be prepared a substitute Assignment or cure or cause to be cured such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly recorded.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, for administrative convenience and facilitation of servicing and to reduce closing costs, the Assignments shall not be required to be submitted for recording (except with respect to any Mortgage Loan located in Maryland and Florida) unless the Trustee or the Purchaser receives notice that such failure to record would result in a withdrawal or a downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of Certificates; provided, however, the Seller shall submit or cause to be submitted each Assignment for recording in the manner described above, at the expense of the Originator and at no expense to the Trust Fund or the Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of:  (i) reasonable direction by Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25.00% of the Voting
Rights, (ii) the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Servicer, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (v) with respect to any one Assignment, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage and (vi) any Mortgage Loan that is 90 days or more Delinquent.  Upon receipt of written notice that recording of the Assignments is required pursuant to one or more of the conditions set forth in the preceding sentence, the Seller shall be required to deliver such Assignments or shall cause such Assignments to be delivered within 30 days following receipt of such notice.

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

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

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

(e)        Examination of Mortgage Files. Prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall either (i) deliver in escrow to the Purchaser, or to any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser for examination, the Mortgage File pertaining to each Mortgage Loan or (ii) make such Mortgage Files available to the Purchaser or to any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser for examination. Such examination may be made by the Purchaser or the Trustee, and 

 

their respective designees, upon reasonable notice to the Seller during normal business hours before the Closing Date and within 60 days after the Closing Date.  If any such person makes such examination prior to the Closing Date and identifies any Mortgage Loans that do not conform to the requirements of the Purchaser as described in this Agreement, such Mortgage Loans shall be deleted from the Closing Schedule.  The Purchaser may, at its option and without notice to the Seller, purchase all or part of the Mortgage Loans without conducting any partial or complete examination.  The fact that the Purchaser or any person has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the Mortgage Files shall not affect the rights of the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser to demand repurchase or other relief as provided herein or under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

	
            SECTION 5.
 	
            Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Originator and the Seller.
 

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

            SECTION 6.
 	
            Representations and Warranties of the Originator Relating to the Mortgage Loans.
 

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

(1)        The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (as such term is defined in the Master Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement between the Seller and the Originator, dated August 1, 2004 (the “Whole Loan Agreement”) is complete, true and correct as of the date that the Originator sold such Mortgage Loan to the Seller (the “Whole Loan Sale Date”);

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

(3)        The Originator has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than a Mortgagor of the related Mortgaged Property, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage; and there was no delinquency (other than payments less than 30 days delinquent), exclusive of any period of grace, in any payment by the Mortgagor thereunder from the origination of the Mortgage Loan to the Whole Loan Sale Date;

(4)        There are no delinquent taxes, insurance premiums or any other assessments that could jeopardize the lien position of the Mortgage Loan, including assessments payable in future installments or other outstanding charges affecting the related Mortgaged Property;

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

 

assumption agreement has been delivered to the Purchaser and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule;

(6)        The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or valid defense, including the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto;

(7)        All buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, pursuant to insurance policies providing coverage in an amount, except where limited by applicable law to a lesser amount, not less than the greatest of (i) 100% of the replacement cost of all improvements to the Mortgaged Property, (ii) either (A) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan with respect to each first lien Mortgage Loan or (B) with respect to each second lien Mortgage Loan, the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the first lien Mortgage Loan and the outstanding principal balance of the second lien Mortgage Loan, (iii) the amount necessary to avoid the
operation of any co-insurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and consistent with the amount that would have been required as of the date of origination in accordance with Originator’s underwriting guidelines or (iv) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis.  All such insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Originator, its successors and assigns as mortgagee and all premiums due and payable thereon have been paid.  If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified on a Flood Hazard Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect which policy conforms to the requirements of Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor;

(8)        Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures, predatory and abusive lending, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity, fair housing or disclosure laws applicable to the origination and servicing of mortgage loans of a type similar to the Mortgage Loans have been complied with in all material respects;

(9)        The Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission or release;

 

 

(10)      The Mortgage is a valid, existing and enforceable (subject to principles of equity, bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors) (A) first lien and first priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Originator to be a first lien (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), or (B) second lien and second priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Originator to be a second lien (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), in either case, on the Mortgaged Property, including all improvements on the Mortgaged Property subject only to (a) the lien of current, non-delinquent real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other
matters of the public record as of the date of recording being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and which do not adversely affect the Value of the Mortgaged Property, (c) with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Originator to be a second lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) a first lien on the Mortgaged Property; and (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property.  Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, existing and enforceable first or second lien and first or second priority
security interest (in each case, as indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule);

(11)      The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to principles of equity, bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors and except that the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefore may be brought;

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

(14)      All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) in compliance with any and all applicable “doing business” and licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located;

 

 

(15)      The Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy (which, in the case of an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Loan has an adjustable rate mortgage endorsement in the form of ALTA 6.0 or 6.1) acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, issued by a title insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in (10)(a) and (b), and with respect to any second lien Mortgage Loan (c), above) the Originator, its successors and assigns as to the first or second priority lien (as indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and, with respect to any Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Loan, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the
lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment in the Mortgage Rate and Monthly Payment.  Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress to and from the Mortgaged Property, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein.  The Originator and its successors and assigns are the sole named insured of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(16)      There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and the Originator has not waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration.  With respect to each second lien Mortgage Loan (i) the related first lien mortgage loan is in full force and effect, (ii) there is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under such first lien mortgage or the related mortgage note, (iii) no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration thereunder, and either (A) the first
lien mortgage contains a provision which allows or (B) applicable law requires, the mortgagee under the second lien Mortgage Loan to receive notice of, and affords such mortgagee an opportunity to cure any default by payment in full or otherwise under the first lien mortgage;

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

(20)      Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty days after the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan were disbursed.  The Mortgage Loan bears interest at the Mortgage Rate set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.  With respect to each Mortgage Loan and, unless otherwise disclosed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month in Monthly Payments, which, in the case of a Fixed-Rate Mortgage Loans, are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original term thereof (other than with respect to a Mortgage Loan identified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only Mortgage Loan during the interest-only period) and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Rate, and, in the case of an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Loan, are changed on each Adjustment Date, and in
any case, are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original term thereof (other than with respect to a Mortgage Loan identified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only Mortgage Loan during the interest-only period) and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Rate.  With respect to each Mortgage Loan identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only Mortgage Loan, the interest-only period shall not exceed five (5) years (or such other period specified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) and following the expiration of such interest-only period, the remaining Monthly Payments shall be sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the remaining term of the Mortgage Loan.  The Index for each Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Loan is as defined in the Mortgage Loan Schedule.  The Mortgage Note does not permit negative amortization.  No Mortgage Loan is a convertible mortgage loan;

As of the Whole Loan Sale Date, the Mortgaged

            SECTION 7.
 	
            Repurchase Obligation for Defective Documentation and for Breach of Representation and Warranty.
 

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

Upon discovery by the Seller, the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser of any materially defective document in, or that any material document was not transferred by or at the direction of the Seller (as listed on the Trustee’s Preliminary Exception Report) as part of any Mortgage File, or of a breach of any of the representations and warranties contained in Section 6 that materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s assignee, transferee or designee, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the Seller (in the case of a missing document) or the Originator and the Seller (in the case of a breach of any of the representations and warranties contained in Section 6).  Within sixty (60) days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such
missing documentation that was not transferred to the Purchaser as described above, or of materially defective documentation, or of any such breach of a representation and warranty, the Originator or the Seller (or their related designee), as applicable, promptly shall deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects or, in the event the Originator or the Seller (or their related designee) cannot deliver 

 

such missing document or cannot cure such defect or breach, the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall, within ninety (90) days of its discovery or receipt of notice, either (i) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price (as such term is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) or (ii) pursuant to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, cause the removal of such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans. The Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall amend the Closing Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of such Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall deliver to the Purchaser such amended Closing Schedule and shall deliver such other documents as are required by this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement within five (5) days of any such amendment. Any repurchase pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall be accomplished by transfer to an account designated by the Purchaser of the amount of the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any repurchase required by this Section shall be made in a manner consistent with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Originator or receipt of notice by the Originator of the breach of the representation of the Originator set forth in Section 6(51) above which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Holders of the Class P Certificates in any Prepayment Charge that is due and payable as result of a Principal Prepayment, the Originator shall pay the amount of the scheduled Prepayment Charge, for the benefit of the Holders of the Class P Certificates by remitting such amount to the Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, net of any amount previously collected by the Servicer or paid by the Servicer, for the benefit of the Holders of the Class P Certificates in respect of such Prepayment Charge.

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

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

	
            SECTION 8.

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

	
            SECTION 10.

            SECTION 12.
 	
            Indemnification.
 

The Originator shall indemnify and hold harmless each of (i) the Purchaser, (ii) the Underwriter, (iii) the Person, if any, to which the Purchaser assigns its rights in and to a Mortgage Loan and each of their respective successors and assigns and (iv) each person, if any, who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) ((i) through (iv) collectively, the “Indemnified Party”) against any and all losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities to which the Indemnified Party may become 

 

subject, under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Prospectus Supplement or any private placement memorandum relating to the offering by the Purchaser or an affiliate thereof, of the Class CE Certificates or the Class P Certificates, or the omission or the alleged omission to state therein the material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with (i) information furnished in writing to the Purchaser or any of its affiliates by the Originator or any of its affiliates specifically for use
therein, which shall include, with respect to the Prospectus Supplement, the information set forth under the captions “Summary of Prospectus Supplement—The Mortgage Loans,” “Risk Factors” (to the extent of information concerning the Mortgage Loans contained therein), “The Mortgage Pool,” “The Originator” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Servicer” and, with respect to any private placement memorandum, any information of a comparable nature, or (ii) the data files containing information with respect to the Mortgage Loans as transmitted by modem to the Purchaser by the Originator or any of its affiliates (as such transmitted information may have been amended in writing by the Originator or any of its affiliates with the written consent of the Purchaser subsequent to such transmission), (b) any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Originator or any affiliate of the Originator herein or in the Pooling and

to rise from or be based upon matters set forth in clause (1) above and do not result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability that the Originator may otherwise have.

	
            SECTION 13.
 	
            Mandatory Delivery; Grant of Security Interest.
 

The sale and delivery on the Closing Date of the Mortgage Loans described on the Mortgage Loan Schedule in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement is mandatory. It is specifically understood and agreed that each Mortgage Loan is unique and identifiable on the date hereof and that an award of money damages would be insufficient to compensate the Purchaser for the losses and damages incurred by the Purchaser in the event of the Seller’s failure to deliver the Mortgage Loans on or before the Closing Date. The Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a lien on and a continuing security interest in the Seller’s interest in each Mortgage Loan and each document and instrument evidencing each such Mortgage Loan to secure the performance by the Seller of its obligation hereunder, and the Seller agrees that it holds such Mortgage Loans in custody for the Purchaser, subject
to the Purchaser’s (i) right, prior to the Closing Date, to reject any Mortgage Loan to the extent permitted by this Agreement, 

 

and (ii) obligation to deliver or cause to be delivered the consideration for the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 8 hereof. Any Mortgage Loans rejected by the Purchaser shall concurrently therewith be released from the security interest created hereby. All rights and remedies of the Purchaser under this Agreement are distinct from, and cumulative with, any other rights or remedies under this Agreement or afforded by law or equity and all such rights and remedies may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively.

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

	
            SECTION 14.
 	
            Notices.
 

All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered to or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, or transmitted by fax and, receipt of which is confirmed by telephone, if to the Purchaser, addressed to the Purchaser at 390 Greenwich Street, 4th Floor, New York, New York 10013, Attention: Mortgage Finance Group, or such other address as may hereafter be furnished to the Originator and the Seller in writing by the Purchaser; if to the Originator, addressed to the Originator at 3 Ada, Irvine, California 92618, Attention:  William O’Neill, or such other address as may hereafter be furnished to the Seller and the Purchaser in writing by the Originator; if to the Seller, addressed to the Seller, 390 Greenwich Street, 4th Floor, New York, New York 10013, Attention: Mortgage Finance Group, or to such
other address as the Seller may designate in writing to the Purchaser and the Originator.

	
            SECTION 15.
 	
            Severability of Provisions.
 

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

	
            SECTION 16.
 	
            Agreement of Parties.
 

The Seller, the Originator and the Purchaser each agree to execute and deliver such instruments and take such actions as either of the others may, from time to time, reasonably 

 

request in order to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the terms of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

	
            SECTION 17.
 	
            Survival.
 

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

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

	
            SECTION 18.
 	
            GOVERNING LAW.
 

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

	
            SECTION 19.
 	
            Miscellaneous.
 

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

It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser as provided in Section 4 hereof be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser and not as a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, 

 

in the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Seller, then (a) it is the express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller and (b) (1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; (2) the conveyance provided for in Section 4 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or
other property, including without limitation all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested in the Collection Account whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the possession by the Purchaser or its agent of Mortgage Notes, the related Mortgages and such other items of property that constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession” by the secured party for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and (4) notifications to persons holding such property and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Any assignment of the interest of the
Purchaser pursuant to Section 4(d) hereof shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereby. The Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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

 

 

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

ANNEX 2 TO EXHIBIT F-1

QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER STATUS UNDER SEC RULE 144A

[FOR TRANSFEREES THAT ARE REGISTERED INVESTMENT COMPANIES]

The undersigned hereby certifies as follows to [name of Transferor] (the “Transferor”) and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee, with respect to the pass-through certificates (the “Certificates”) described in the Transferee Certificate to which this certification relates and to which this certification is an Annex:

1.  As indicated below, the undersigned is the President, Chief Financial Officer or Senior Vice President of the entity purchasing the Certificates (the “Transferee”) or, if the Transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” as that term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Rule 144A”) because the Transferee is part of a Family of Investment Companies (as defined below), is such an officer of the investment adviser (the “Adviser”).

2.  In connection with purchases by the Transferee, the Transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A because (i) the Transferee is an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and (ii) as marked below, the Transferee alone, or the Transferee’s Family of Investment Companies, owned at least $100,000,000 in securities (other than the excluded securities referred to below) as of the end of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year. For purposes of determining the amount of securities owned by the Transferee or the Transferee’s Family of Investment Companies, the cost of such securities was used.

	
            ____ 
 	
            The Transferee owned $___________________ in securities (other than the excluded securities referred to below) as of the end of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year (such amount being calculated in accordance with Rule 144A).
 
	
            ____ 
 	
            The Transferee is part of a Family of Investment Companies which owned in the aggregate $______________ in securities (other than the excluded securities referred to below) as of the end of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year (such amount being calculated in accordance with Rule 144A).
 

3.  The term “FAMILY OF INVESTMENT COMPANIES” as used herein means two or more registered investment companies (or series thereof) that have the same investment adviser or investment advisers that are affiliated (by virtue of being majority owned subsidiaries of the same parent or because one investment adviser is a majority owned subsidiary of the other).

4.  The term “SECURITIES” as used herein does not include (i) securities of issuers that are affiliated with the Transferee or are part of the Transferee’s Family of Investment Companies, (ii) securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. or any instrumentality thereof, (iii) bank deposit notes and certificates of deposit, (iv) loan participations, (v) repurchase agreements, (vi) securities owned but subject to a repurchase agreement and (vii) currency, interest rate and commodity swaps.

 

 

5.  The Transferee is familiar with Rule 144A and understands that the parties to which this certification is being made are relying and will continue to rely on the statements made herein because one or more sales to the Transferee will be in reliance on Rule 144A. In addition, the Transferee will only purchase for the Transferee’s own account.

6.  The undersigned will notify the parties to which this certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein. Until such notice, the Transferee’s purchase of the Certificates will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification by the undersigned as of the date of such purchase.

FORM OF TRANSFER AFFIDAVIT AND AGREEMENT

	
            STATE OF NEW YORK
 	
            )
 	
             
 
	
             
 	
            :
 	
            ss.:
 
	
            COUNTY OF NEW YORK
 	
            )
 	
             
 

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

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

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

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

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

5.          The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(b) of the Agreement and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an Ownership Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the restrictions on subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the Transfer and mandatory sales.  The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of Section 5.02(b) of the Agreement and the 

 

restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate.  The Transferee understands and agrees that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall render the Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.

6.          The Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any Person to whom the Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the Certificate, and in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not Transfer its Ownership Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be Transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is not a Permitted Transferee.  In connection with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit F-1 to the Agreement (a “Transferor Certificate”) to the effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to which the Transfer is to be made
is not a Permitted Transferee.

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

	
            8.
 	
            The Transferee’s taxpayer identification number is [________________].
 
	
            9.
 	
            The Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code Section 7701(a)(30).
 	
             

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

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

	
            12.
 	
            Check one of the following:
 

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

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

 

 

 

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

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

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

					

13.

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

2.          The Owner is not transferring the Class R [R-X] Certificates (the “Residual Certificates”) to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.

3.         The Owner has no actual knowledge that the Person that is the proposed transferee (the “Purchaser”) of the Residual Certificates: (i) has insufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by such proposed transferee as holder of the Residual Certificates; (ii) may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as the Residual Certificates remain outstanding and (iii) is not a Permitted Transferee.

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

5.         At the time of transfer, the Owner has conducted a reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the Purchaser as contemplated by Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that investigation, the Owner has determined that the Purchaser has historically paid its debts as they became due and has found no significant evidence to indicate that the Purchaser will not continue to pay its debts as they become due in the future. The Owner understands that the transfer of a Residual Certificate may not be respected for United States income tax purposes (and the Owner may continue to be liable for United States income taxes associated therewith) unless the Owner has conducted such an investigation.

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

 

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Owner has caused this instrument to be executed on its behalf, pursuant to the authority of its Board of Directors, by its [Vice] President, attested by its [Assistant] Secretary, this ____ day of ___________, 20__.

Supplemental Trust Agreement No. 1

For the Trust Specified in Annex A

This Supplemental Trust Agreement No. 1, dated as of July 20, 2005 (this “Supplemental Trust Agreement No. 1”), is entered into by and among MS Structured Asset Corp. as Depositor for the Trust specified in Annex A (the “Depositor”) and LaSalle Bank National Association as Trustee for the Trust specified in Annex A (the “Trustee”), and is entered into with respect to the Trust Agreement entered into by the Depositor and the Trustee with respect to the Trust specified in Annex A (the “Trust Agreement”).  Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Trust Agreement.

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 12.01 of the Trust Agreement, without the consent of any Unitholders, the Trust Agreement may be amended to (x) provide for any other terms or modify any other terms with respect to matters or questions arising under the Trust Agreement or (y) add or change any of the terms of the Trust Agreement as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the Trust; 

WHEREAS, the Trust Agreement currently provides that a Trust Wind Up Event will arise upon the Securities held by the Trust becoming Disqualified Securities, such provision having been based on the determination that such provision was necessary to avoid noncompliance with Exchange Act reporting obligations by the Depositor;

WHEREAS, based on discussions with the Commission, the Depositor has determined that a Trust Wind Up Event may not be required to avoid noncompliance with Exchange Act reporting obligations of the Depositor, if and to the extent that the Depositor is able to withdraw the Units from listing on the New York Stock Exchange and terminate the Depositor’s Exchange Act reporting obligations with respect thereto;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

	
            1.
 	
            Amendments to the Trust Agreement.  
 

(a)        The following provision is hereby inserted in Section 9.01(g) of the Trust Agreement specified in Annex A in lieu of the current text thereof:

 

 

	
             
 	
             
 	
             
 

 

 

 

 

(g) (1) as to the full Trust (A) any Security held by the Trust becomes a Disqualified Security and the Trust holds no other Security which is not a Disqualified Security (such event an “Exchange Act Reporting Event”) and (B) the Depositor is unable after commercially reasonable efforts to effect an Exchange Act Reporting Termination in accordance with Section 9.07 on or prior to the date on which (x) the Depositor has determined in its reasonable, good faith discretion that the Depositor would be in violation of its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act with respect to the Units in the absence of a termination of the Trust and (y) the Depositor has given notice of such determination to the Trustee (such date, including any extended date notified by the Depositor, the “Latest Exchange Act Reporting Date”) and (2) as to the Liquidating Trust
described in Section 9.08(c), the Trust Division Date occurs in relation to such Liquidating Trust;

 (b)         The following new sections are hereby added to the Trust Agreement specified in Annex A in lieu of the current text thereof: 

 

SECTION 9.07.  Exchange Act Reporting Termination.  If the Depositor receives actual notice that an Exchange Act Reporting Event has occurred, the Depositor shall proceed to (i) apply to the Commission and the New York Stock Exchange to withdraw the Units from listing and registration on the New York Stock Exchange and (ii) following and subject to prior approval of such application, file with the Commission a certification on Form 15 (or any applicable successor form) suspending the reporting obligations of the Depositor under Section 15(d) the Exchange Act with respect to the Units (a “Reporting Termination Form”), if and to the extent that the Depositor determines in its reasonable, good faith discretion that the Depositor meets the requirements for a filing of such Reporting Termination Form by the Depositor with respect to Units
under Rule 12h-3 under the Exchange Act or any other applicable provisions of the Exchange Act (satisfaction of the conditions in (i) and (ii) an “Exchange Act Reporting Termination”).  The Depositor shall not have any duty to inquire whether a Security has become a Disqualified Security, nor shall the Depositor have any duties under this Section 9.07 or Section 9.08, unless and until the Depositor has received actual notice that an Exchange Act Reporting Event has occurred.

 

SECTION 9.08.  Partial Trust Liquidation for Electing Unitholders.  (a)  If the Depositor receives actual notice that an Exchange Act Reporting Event has occurred, and the Depositor is proceeding in accordance with Section 9.07 to seek an Exchange Act Reporting Termination, the Depositor shall also prepare and request the Trustee to give to the Unitholders and each Rating Agency a notice stating that (i) an Exchange Act Reporting Event has occurred, (ii) the Depositor is seeking an Exchange Act Reporting Termination, (iii) if the Exchange Act Reporting Termination is not completed by the Latest Exchange Act Reporting Date (which date need not be specified in such notice), a Trust Wind-Up Event will occur, the Disqualified Security will be liquidated and the Trust will terminate, (iv) if an Exchange Act Reporting Termination is effected on or
before the Latest Exchange Act Reporting Date, a Trust Wind-Up will not occur and the Trust assets will not be liquidated, but the Units will no longer be listed and registered on the New York Stock Exchange and the Depositor will no longer have any reporting obligations with respect to the Units under the Exchange Act, (v) describing the 

 

 

	
             
 	
            2
 	
             
 

 

 

 

Unitholders’ rights under Section 9.08(b) below and (vi) identifying the Partial Liquidation Election Date for purposes of Section 9.08(b) and the Trust Division Date for purposes of Section 9.08(c).

 

(b)           If an Exchange Act Reporting Event has occurred, each Unitholder shall have the right to elect that a partial liquidation of the Trust occur with respect to the Units held by it.  Such election may only be made as to all Units held by a Unitholder, must be made in such manner as the Depositor shall provide to identify the name and account information of the relevant Unitholder and any other appropriate information with respect to such Unitholder in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary or as otherwise determined by the Depositor.   Such election must be received by the Depositor and advised to the Trustee on or before a date specified by the Depositor which is at least ten Business Days after the date of the notice provided under 9.08(a) above
(the “Partial Liquidation Election Date”).  A Unitholder’s election may not be revoked by the Unitholder once made.  However, such election may be revoked by the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor as subsequent transferee of the Units with respect to which such Unitholder’s election was made, on or before the Business Day prior to a date specified by the Depositor for division of the Trust pursuant to Section 9.08(c) below, which date shall be on or as promptly as practicable after the date the Exchange Act Reporting Termination occurs or is expected to occur (“the Trust Division Date”). 

 

(c)            On the Trust Division Date, the Trust shall be deemed divided into two trusts, a new Trust corresponding to the Unitholders who have made the election referred to in Section 9.08(b) above (the “Liquidating Trust”), and the existing Trust corresponding to the remainder of the Unitholders who have not made such election or (in the case of Units held by the Depositor or its Affiliates) with respect to which such election has been revoked.  The existing Trust shall continue in accordance with the terms of this Trust Agreement and no further Exchange Act Reporting Event shall arise with respect thereto.  A Trust Wind Up Event shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to the Liquidating Trust on the Latest Exchange Act Reporting Date and the provisions
of this Article IX applicable to a Trust Wind-Up Event shall be implemented with respect thereto.  The Selling Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect liquidation of the Disqualified Security by the Liquidating Trust in the same manner and with the same net proceeds per Unit as would have applied to liquidation of the Disqualified Security by the original Trust.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Latest Exchange Act Reporting Date occurs before either of the Partial Liquidation Election Date or the Trust Division Date, and no Exchange Act Reporting Termination has been effected prior to such Latest Exchange Act Reporting Date, (b) and (c) above shall cease to apply and a Trust Wind-Up Event shall occur in accordance with Section 9.01(g)(1).
