The Company is entering into this Agreement, and the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee are each accepting the trust created hereby, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged.

(9)           For each Distribution Date, the Class X-L Regular Interest shall accrue interest on the Class X-L Notional Amount.  For each Distribution Date, the Certificate Interest Rate on the Class X-L Regular Interest shall equal the excess, if any, of (i) the Weighted Average Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date over (ii) the product of (a) the weighted average of the Certificate Interest Rates on the REMIC II Regular Interests (other than the Class X-L Regular Interest), multiplying the Certificate Interest Rates on the Class A-L Regular Interests by a fraction, the numerator being the actual number of days in the accrual period and the denominator being 30 and (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate Class Principal Balance of the REMIC II Regular Interests (other than the Class X-L Regular Interest) immediately before that Distribution Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the second preceding Due Date. 

                For REMIC purposes, the foregoing rate is equal to a rate per annum equal to the percentage equivalent of a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the amounts calculated pursuant to clauses (1) through (3) below, and the denominator of which is the aggregate Principal Balances of the REMIC I Regular Interests.  For purposes of calculating the Pass-Through Rate for the Class X Certificates, the numerator is equal to the sum of the following components:

1.        the Certificate Interest Rate for REMIC I Regular Interest LT1 minus the related Marker Rate, applied to a notional amount equal to the Class Principal Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest LT1;

2.        the Certificate Interest Rate for REMIC I Regular Interest LT2 minus the related Marker Rate, applied to a notional amount equal to the Class Principal Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest LT2;

3.        the Certificate Interest Rate for REMIC I Regular Interest LT4 minus twice the related Marker Rate, applied to a notional amount equal to the Class Principal Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest LT4.

 

 

(10)         The Class X-L Regular Interest shall have both a Class Notional Amount and a Class Principal Balance. The Class X-L Principal Balance shall initially equal zero and shall thereafter be increased by the portion, if any, of Net Negative Amortization Amounts allocated to the Class X-L Regular Interest pursuant to the definition of “Net Negative Amortization Amount.”  Interest shall accrue on the Class X-L Notional Amount and shall not accrue on the Class X-L Principal Balance. Principal shall not be payable with respect to the Class X-L Notional Amount.

 

(11)         The Certificate Interest Rate on the Class B-1-L Regular Interest for (i) the initial Distribution Date shall equal 3.030%; (ii) each Distribution Date, other than the initial Distribution Date, on or before the Clean-Up Call Option Date, shall equal the lesser of (a) the Weighted Average Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date and (b) LIBOR plus 0.550%; and (iii) each Distribution Date after the Clean-Up Call Option Date, shall equal the lesser of (a) the Weighted Average Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date and (b) LIBOR plus 0.825%.

 

(12)         The Certificate Interest Rate on the Class B-2-L Regular Interest for (i) the initial Distribution Date shall equal 3.430%; (ii) each Distribution Date, other than the initial Distribution Date, on or before the Clean-Up Call Option Date, shall equal the lesser of (a) the Weighted Average Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date and (b) LIBOR plus 0.950%; and (iii) each Distribution Date after the Clean-Up Call Option Date, shall equal the lesser of (a) the Weighted Average Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date and (b) LIBOR plus 1.425%.

 

(13)         The Certificate Interest Rate on the Class B-3-L, Class B-4-L, Class B-5-L and Class B-6-L Regular Interests for (i) the initial Distribution Date shall equal 3.580%; (ii) each Distribution Date, other than the initial Distribution Date, on or before the Clean-Up Call Option Date, shall equal the lesser of (a) the Weighted Average Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date and (b) LIBOR plus 1.100%; and (iii) each Distribution Date after the Clean-Up Call Option Date, shall equal the lesser of (a) the Weighted Average Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date and (b) LIBOR plus 1.650%.

 

(14)         For any Distribution Date, interest distributable to the Class A, Class B and Class X Certificates may not equal interest accrued at the Certificate Interest Rates for the Corresponding Classes of REMIC II Regular Interests.  For any Distribution Date from and including March 2005 to and including August 2013, interest may be distributable to some Classes of Class A Certificates in an amount greater than interest accrued at the Certificate Interest Rate for the Corresponding Class of REMIC II Regular Interests, and interest may be distributable to the Class X Certificates in an amount less than interest accrued at the Certificate Interest Rate for the Class X-L Regular Interest, in each case pursuant to the second sentence of Section 4.04(a).

 

(15)         The Class R‑2 Residual Interest shall be entitled to receive the applicable Residual Distribution Amount.  The Class R‑2 Residual Interest shall not be entitled to receive any distributions of interest or principal.

 

 

 

As provided herein, with respect to REMIC II, the Company will cause an election to be made on behalf of REMIC II to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a REMIC.  The REMIC II Regular Interests will be designated regular interests in REMIC II and the Class R-2 Residual Interest will be designated the sole class of residual interest in REMIC II, for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.

In addition, the Trust will issue the Class R Certificates, which will represent ownership of the Class R-1 and Class R-2 Residual Interests.

In addition, the Trust will issue the Class A and Class B Certificates, each of which Class will represent ownership of (i) the Corresponding Class of REMIC II Regular Interests and (ii) the applicable rights specified in the second sentence of Section 4.04(a), and will issue the Class X Certificates, which will represent ownership of (i) the Class X-L Regular Interest and (ii) the obligations specified in the second sentence of Section 4.04(a).

In addition, the Trust will issue the Class Y Certificates, which will not have a Class Principal Balance and will only be entitled to receive on any Distribution Date the excess, if any, of (i) amounts received pursuant to the Yield Maintenance Agreement for that Distribution Date and (ii) the portion thereof payable to the Class A Certificates on that Distribution Date.  The Class Y Certificates will not represent an interest in any REMIC.

As of the Cut-Off Date, the Mortgage Loans have an aggregate Principal Balance of $2,971,414,173.32 and the Certificates have an Aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of $2,971,414,173.32.
