     If in connection with any Mortgage Loan which is not a Co-op Loan the Depositor cannot deliver the Mortgage, Assignments of Mortgage, or assumption, consolidation or modification agreement, as the case may be, with evidence of recording thereon concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement solely because of a delay caused by the public recording office where such Mortgage, Assignments of Mortgage, or assumption, consolidation or modification agreement, as the case may be, has been delivered for recordation, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee written notice stating that such Mortgage, Assignments of Mortgage, or assumption, consolidation or modification agreement, as the case may be, has been delivered to the appropriate public recording office for recordation. Thereafter, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee such Mortgage, Assignments of Mortgage, or assumption, consolidation or modification agreement, as the case may be, with evidence of recording indicated thereon upon receipt thereof from the public recording office.

     With respect to any Non-MERS Mortgage Loans which are not Co-op Loans, and as to which the related Mortgaged Property is located in Florida, the Servicer shall cause to be recorded in the appropriate public recording office for real property records each Assignment of Mortgage referred to in this Section 2.01 as soon as practicable. With respect to any Non-MERS Mortgage Loans which are not Co-op Loans as to which the related Mortgaged Property is located outside of Florida, the Servicer shall not be obligated to cause to be recorded the Assignment of Mortgage referred to in this Section 2.01. With respect to Co-op Loans as to which the related dwelling unit is located in Florida, the Servicer shall cause to be filed in the appropriate filing office the Form UCC-3 referred to in this Section 2.01 as soon as practicable. With respect to any Co-op Loans as to which the related dwelling unit is located outside Florida, the Servicer shall not be obligated to cause to be filed the Form UCC-3 referred to in this Section 2.01. While each such Assignment of Mortgage or Form UCC-3 is being recorded or filed, as applicable, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a photocopy of such document. If any such Assignment of Mortgage or Form UCC-3 is returned unrecorded or unfiled to the Servicer because of any defect therein, the Servicer shall cause such defect to be cured and such document to be recorded or filed in accordance with this paragraph. The Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered each such original recorded or filed Assignment of Mortgage and intermediate assignment or Form UCC-3 to the Trustee within 270 days of the Closing Date or shall deliver to the Trustee on or before such date an Officer’s Certificate stating that such document has been delivered to the appropriate public recording or filing office for recording or filing, but has not been returned solely because of a delay caused by such recording or filing office. In any event, the Depositor shall use all reasonable efforts to cause each such document with evidence of recording or filing thereon to be delivered to the Trustee within 300 days of the Closing Date.

     With respect to each MERS Mortgage Loan, the Trustee, at the expense of the Depositor and at the direction and with the cooperation of the Servicer, shall cause to be taken such actions as are necessary to cause the Trustee to be clearly identified as the trustee of each such Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS for purposes of the system of recording transfers of beneficial ownership of mortgages maintained by MERS.

     The ownership of each Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and the contents of the related Mortgage File is vested in the Trustee. Neither the Depositor nor the Servicer shall take any action inconsistent with such ownership and shall not claim any ownership interest therein. The Depositor and the Servicer shall respond to any third party inquiries with respect to ownership of the Mortgage Loans by stating that such ownership is held by the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. Mortgage documents relating to the Mortgage Loans not delivered to the Trustee are and shall be held in trust by the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee as the owner thereof, and the Servicer’s or such Sub-Servicer’s possession of the contents of each Mortgage File so retained is for the sole purpose of servicing the related Mortgage Loan, and such retention and possession by the Servicer or such Sub-Servicer is in a

30

 

 

custodial capacity only. The Depositor agrees to take no action inconsistent with the Trustee’s ownership of the Mortgage Loans, to promptly indicate to all inquiring parties that the Mortgage Loans have been sold and to claim no ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans. Each Mortgage File and the mortgage documents relating to the Mortgage Loans contain proprietary business information of the Servicer and its customers. The Trustee and the Depositor agree that they will not use such information for business purposes without the express written consent of the Servicer and that all such information shall be kept strictly confidential.

     It is the intention of this Agreement that the conveyance of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a loan. If a conveyance of Mortgage Loans from the Seller to the Depositor is characterized as a pledge and not a sale, then the Depositor shall be deemed to have transferred to the Trustee all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the obligations of the Seller deemed to be secured by said pledge; and it is the intention of this Agreement that the Depositor shall also be deemed to have granted to the Trustee a first priority security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title, and interest in, to and under the obligations of the Seller to the Depositor deemed to be secured by said pledge and that the Trustee shall be deemed to be an independent custodian for purposes of perfection of the security interest granted to the Depositor. If the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans from the Depositor to the Trustee is characterized as a pledge, it is the intention of this Agreement that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law, and that the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted to the Trustee a first priority security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans, all payments of principal of or interest on such Mortgage Loans, all other rights relating to and payments made in respect of the Trust Fund, and all proceeds of any thereof. If the trust created by this Agreement terminates prior to the satisfaction of the claims of any Person in any Certificates, the security interest created hereby shall continue in full force and effect and the Trustee shall be deemed to be the collateral agent for the benefit of such Person.

     In addition to the conveyance made in the first paragraph of this Section 2.01, the Depositor does hereby convey, assign and set over to the Trustee all of its right, title and interest in that portion of the Trust Fund described in items (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) of the definition thereof and further assigns to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders those representations and warranties of the Seller contained in the Sale Agreement and described in Section 3.01 hereof and the benefit of the repurchase obligations of the Seller described in Sections 2.02 and 3.01 hereof and the obligations of the Seller contained in the Sale Agreement to take, at the request of the Depositor or the Trustee, all action on its part which is reasonably necessary to ensure the enforceability of a Mortgage Loan.

     The parties hereto agree and understand that it is not intended that any mortgage loan be included in the Trust that is any of (i) a "High-Cost Home Loan" as defined in the New Jersey Home Ownership Act effective November 27, 2003, (ii) a "High-Cost Home Loan" as defined in the New Mexico Home Loan Protection Act effective January 1, 2004, (iii) a "High-Cost Home Mortgage Loan" as defined in the Massachusetts Predatory Home Loan Practices Act effective November 7, 2004 or (iv) a "High-Cost Home Loan" as defined by the Indiana High Cost Home Loan Law effective January 1, 2005.

     Section 2.02 Acceptance by Trustee . Except as set forth in the Exception Report delivered contemporaneously herewith (the "Exception Report"), the Trustee acknowledges receipt by the Custodian on the Trustee’s behalf of the Mortgage Note for each Mortgage Loan and delivery of a Mortgage File (but does not acknowledge receipt of all documents required to be included in such Mortgage File) with respect to each Mortgage Loan and declares that the Custodian holds and will hold on the Trustee’s behalf such documents and any other documents constituting a part of the Mortgage Files delivered to it in trust for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Depositor

31

 

 

will cause the Seller to repurchase any Mortgage Loans to which an exception was taken in the Exception Report unless such exception is cured to the satisfaction of the Trustee within 45 Business Days of the Closing Date. The Trustee may accept delivery of such Mortgage Files by the Custodian on its behalf. The Custodian will deliver a copy of the Exception Report to the Depositor and the Trustee.

     The Custodian, on the Trustee’s behalf, agrees, for the benefit of Certificateholders, to review each Mortgage File delivered to it within 270 days after the Closing Date to ascertain that all documents required by Section 2.01 have been executed and received, and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit A that have been conveyed to it. If the Custodian on the Trustee’s behalf finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or defective (that is, mutilated, damaged, defaced or unexecuted) in any material respect, the Custodian on the Trustee’s behalf shall promptly (and in any event within no more than five Business Days) after such finding so notify the Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee and the Depositor. In addition, the Custodian on the Trustee’s behalf shall also notify the Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee and the Depositor, if (a) in examining the Mortgage Files, the documentation shows on its face (i) any adverse claim, lien or encumbrance, (ii) that any Mortgage Note was overdue or had been dishonored, (iii) any evidence on the face of any Mortgage Note or Mortgage of any security interest or other right or interest therein, or (iv) any defense against or claim to the Mortgage Note by any party or (b) the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon with respect to a Mortgage Loan is not received within 270 days of the Closing Date; provided, however, that if the Depositor cannot deliver the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon because of a delay caused by the public recording office where such Mortgage has been delivered for recordation, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian and the Trustee written notice stating that such Mortgage has been delivered to the appropriate public recording officer for recordation and thereafter the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered such Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon upon receipt thereof from the public recording office. The Depositor shall request that the Seller correct or cure such omission, defect or other irregularity, or substitute a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.03, within 60 days from the date the Seller was notified of such omission or defect and, if the Seller does not correct or cure such omission or defect within such period, that the Seller purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee within 90 days from the date the Depositor notified the Seller and the Trustee of such omission, defect or other irregularity at the Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loan. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan purchased pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall be paid to the Servicer and deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account promptly upon receipt, and, upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such deposit signed by a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall promptly release to the Seller the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller or its designee, as the case may be, any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto, and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage Loan. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to purchase, cure or substitute any Mortgage Loan as to which a material defect in or omission of a constituent document exists shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect or omission available to the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders. The Trustee shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review and examine such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that they are genuine, enforceable or appropriate to the represented purpose, or that they have actually been recorded, or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face. The Trustee shall keep confidential the name of each Mortgagor and shall not solicit any such Mortgagor for the purpose of refinancing the related Mortgage Loan.

     Within 280 days of the Closing Date, the Trustee based solely on information provided to it by the Custodian shall deliver to the Depositor and the Servicer the Trustee’s Certification, substantially in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto, setting forth the status of the Mortgage Files as of such date.

The interest rate on the Class SW-Z Interest shall be a per annum rate equal to the REMIC Net WAC.

 

   

(2)

 

For any Distribution Date, the interest rate on each SWAP REMIC Regular Interest ending with the designation "A" shall be a per annum rate equal to 2 times the REMIC Net WAC, subject to a maximum rate of 2 times the REMIC Swap Rate for such Distribution Date.

 

   

(3)

 

For any Distribution Date, the interest rate on each SWAP REMIC Regular Interest ending with the designation "B" shall be a per annum rate equal to the greater of (x) the excess, if any, of (i) 2 times the REMIC Net WAC over (ii) 2 times the REMIC Swap Rate for such Distribution Date and (y) 0.00%.

 

   

(4)

 

The Class SW-R Interest shall have no principal amount and shall bear no interest. The Class SW-R Interest is the sole class of residual interest of the SWAP REMIC and is represented by the Class A-R Certificate.

All payments of principal and interest at the Net Mortgage Rate on each of the Mortgage Loans received by the SWAP REMIC with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be paid to the SWAP REMIC Regular Interests until the principal balance of all such interests have been reduced to zero and any losses allocated to such interests have been reimbursed. Any available funds remaining in the SWAP REMIC on a Distribution Date after distributions to the SWAP REMIC Regular Interests shall be distributed to the Class A-R Certificates on account of the Class SW-R Interest. On each Distribution Date, the aggregate Interest Remittance Amount (net of expenses (other than any Net Swap Payment or Swap Termination Payment paid to the Swap Counterparty)) shall be distributed with respect to each of the SWAP REMIC Regular Interests based on the interest rates for each such SWAP REMIC Regular Interest. On each Distribution Date, the aggregate Principal Remittance Amount shall be distributed first to the Class SW-Z Interest until its principal balance is reduced to zero and then sequentially to each of the other SWAP REMIC Regular Interests in ascending order of their numerical class designation, in equal amounts to each such class in such numerical designation, until the principal balance of each such class is reduced to zero. All losses shall be allocated among the SWAP REMIC Regular Interests in the same manner that principal distributions are allocated. Subsequent Recoveries and loss reimbursements shall be allocated among the SWAP REMIC Regular Interests in the reverse fashion from the manner in which losses are allocated.

Lower-Tier REMIC

     The Lower-Tier REMIC shall issue the Lower-Tier REMIC Interests as designated below. The following table specifies the class designation, pass-through rate, initial principal amount and Corresponding Certificates (as applicable) for each class of Lower-Tier REMIC Interest.

The initial principal amount of the Class LTX Interest is equal to the excess of the (i) the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date over (ii) the aggregate initial principal balance of the Lower-Tier REMIC Marker Classes.

 

   

(3)

 

For each Distribution Date, the interest rate for each of the Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interests (other than the Class LT-IO Interest) shall be a per annum rate (but not less than zero) equal to the product of (i) the weighted average of the interest rates on the SWAP REMIC Regular Interests for such Distribution Date and (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is 30 and the denominator of which is the actual number of days in the Accrual Period for the LIBOR Certificates, provided however, that for any Distribution Date on which the Class LT-IO Interest is entitled to a portion of interest accruals on a SWAP REMIC Regular Interest ending with a designation "A" as described in footnote 4 below, such weighted average shall be computed by first subjecting the rate on such SWAP REMIC Regular Interest to a cap equal to Swap LIBOR for such Distribution Date.

 

   

(4)

 

The Class LT-IO Interest is an interest-only class that does not have a principal balance. For only those Distribution Dates listed in the first column of the table below, the Class LT-IO Interest shall be entitled to interest accrued on the SWAP REMIC Regular Interest listed in the second column below at a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the interest rate for such SWAP REMIC Regular Interest for such Distribution Date over (ii) Swap LIBOR for such Distribution Date.

The Class LT-R Interest has no principal amount and bears no interest. The Class LT-R Interest is the sole class of residual interest of the Lower-Tier REMIC and is represented by the Class A-R Certificate.

All payments received by the Lower-Tier REMIC with respect to the SWAP REMIC Regular Interests shall be paid to the Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interests until the principal balance of all such interests have been reduced to zero and any losses allocated to such interests have been reimbursed. Any excess amounts shall be distributed to the Class LT-R Interest. On each Distribution Date, an amount equal to 50% of the increase in the Overcollateralized Amount shall be payable as a reduction of the principal amounts of the Lower-Tier REMIC Marker Classes (with such amount allocated among the Lower-Tier REMIC Marker Classes so that each Lower-Tier REMIC Marker Class will have its principal reduced by an amount equal to 50% of any increase in the Overcollateralized Amount that results in a reduction in the principal balance of its Corresponding Certificates) and will be accrued and added to the principal balance of the Class LTX Interest. All payments of scheduled principal and prepayments of principal on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated 50% to the Class LTX Interest and 50% to the Lower-Tier REMIC Marker Classes (with principal payments allocated to each of the Lower-Tier REMIC Marker Classes in an amount equal to 50% of the principal amounts distributed to the Corresponding Certificates in reduction of their principal amounts). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, an amount equal to the principal payments that result in a reduction in the Overcollateralized Amount shall be treated as payable entirely to the Class LTX Interest. Realized Losses that are allocated to the Certificates shall be applied to the Lower-Tier REMIC Marker Classes and the Class LTX Interest so that after all distributions have been made on each Distribution Date (i) the principal balance of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC Marker Classes is equal to 50% of the principal balance of the Corresponding Certificates and (ii) the principal balance of the Class LTX Interest is equal to the sum of (x) 50% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and (y) 50% of the Overcollateralized Amount. Each Lower-Tier REMIC Marker Class shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to 50% of all amounts distributed to the Corresponding Certificates in respect of unreimbursed amounts of Realized Losses. The Class LTX Interest shall be entitled to receive all other amounts distributed to the Certificates in respect of unreimbursed amounts of Realized Losses.

If on any Distribution Date the Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates is increased due to Subsequent Recoveries pursuant to the definition of "Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance", then there shall be an equivalent increase in the principal amounts of the Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interests, with such increase allocated (before the making of distributions and the allocation of losses on the Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interests on such Distribution Date) among the Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interests so that (i) each of the Lower-Tier Marker Classes has a principal balance equal to 50% of the principal balance of the Corresponding Certificates, (ii) the Class LTX Interest has a principal balance equal to the sum of (x) 50% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and (y) 50% of the Overcollateralized Amount.

Upper-Tier REMIC

     The assets of the Upper-Tier REMIC shall be the Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interests. The REMIC Regular Interests shall be designated as the regular interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC and the

The Residual Interest has no principal amount and bears no interest. The Residual Interest is the sole class of residual interest of the Upper-Tier REMIC and is represented by the Class A-R Certificate.

     The beneficial ownership of the Class SW-R Interest, the Class LT-R Interest, the Residual Interest and the right to receive payments from the Class A-R Reserve Fund shall be represented by the Class A-R Certificate.

     (b) (i) It is intended that the rights of each Class of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates to receive payments in respect of Excess Interest shall be treated as a right in interest rate cap contracts written by the Class CE Certificateholders in favor of the Holders of each Class of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates and such shall be accounted for as property held separate and apart from the regular interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC held by the Holders of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates. For information reporting requirements, the rights of the Class A, Class M and Class B

44

 

 

Certificates to receive payments in respect of Excess Interest shall be assumed to have zero value or a de minimis value. This provision is intended to satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(i) for the treatment of property rights coupled with REMIC interests to be separately respected and shall be interpreted consistently with such regulation. On each Distribution Date, to the extent that any of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates receive payments in respect of Excess Interest, such amounts, to the extent not derived from payments on the Swap Agreement or Yield Maintenance Agreement, will be treated as distributed by the Upper-Tier REMIC to the Class CE Certificates pro rata in payment of the amounts specified in Section 6.01(c)(18) and then paid to the relevant Class of Certificates pursuant to the related interest rate cap agreement.

          (ii) It is intended that the beneficial owners of the Certificates (other than the Class A-R and Class CE Certificates) shall be treated as having entered into a notional principal contract with respect to the beneficial owners of the Class CE Certificates. Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all beneficial owners of each Class of Certificates (other than the Class A-R and Class CE Certificates) shall be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the beneficial owners of the Class CE Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount payable on such Distribution Date on the Corresponding REMIC Regular Interest of such Class of Certificates over (ii) the amount payable on such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such excess, a "Class Payment Shortfall"). A Class Payment Shortfall shall be allocated to each Class of Certificates to the extent that interest accrued on such Class for the related Accrual Period at the Certificate Rate for a Class, computed by substituting "Upper-Tier REMIC Net WAC Cap" for the Net WAC set forth in the definition thereof, exceeds the amount of interest accrued on such Certificate at the Certificate Rate (without such substitution) for the related Accrual Period, and a Class Payment Shortfall payable from principal collections shall be allocated to the most subordinate Class of Certificates with an outstanding principal balance to the extent of such balance.

     (c) The parties intend that the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the Uncertificated Class CE Interest, the uncertificated Class UT-IO Interest, the rights to receive payments deemed made by the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates in respect of notional principal contracts described in Section 2.04(b)(ii), the Supplemental Interest Trust, the Swap Agreement, the Yield Maintenance Agreements and the obligation of the Holders of the Class CE Certificates to pay amounts in respect of Excess Interest to the Holders of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates shall be treated as a "grantor trust" under the Code, for the benefit of the Holders of the Class CE Certificates, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention, the Trustee shall (i) furnish or cause to be furnished to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates information regarding their allocable share, if any, of the income with respect to such grantor trust, (ii) file or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service Form 1041 (together with any necessary attachments) and such other forms as may be applicable and (iii) comply with such information reporting obligations with respect to payments from such grantor trust to the Holders of the Class A, Class M, Class B and Class CE Certificates as may be applicable under the Code.

          The parties intend that amounts paid to the Swap Counterparty under the Swap Agreement shall be deemed for federal income tax purposes to be paid by the Class CE Certificates first, out of funds deemed received in respect of the Class UT-IO Interest, second, out of funds deemed received in respect of the Uncertificated Class CE Interest and third, out of funds deemed received in respect of notional principal contracts described in Section 2.04(b)(ii), and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. On each Distribution Date, to the extent that amounts paid to the Swap Counterparty are deemed paid out of funds received in respect of the Uncertificated Class CE Interest, such amounts will be treated as distributed by the Upper-Tier REMIC to the Class CE Certificates pro rata in payment of the amounts specified in Section 6.01(c)(18) and then paid to the Swap Counterparty pursuant to the Swap Agreement.
