THIS POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT,
dated as of December 1, 2006, among MORTGAGE ASSET SECURITIZATION
TRANSACTIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation, as depositor (the
“Depositor”), UBS REAL ESTATE SECURITIES INC., a
Delaware corporation, as transferor (the “Transferor”),
WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A., a national banking association
(“Wells Fargo”), as master servicer (in such capacity,
the “Master Servicer”), and as trust administrator (in
such capacity, the “Trust Administrator”) and U.S. BANK
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association organized
under the laws of the United States, as trustee (in such capacity,
the “Trustee”).
W I T N E S S E T H T H A
T
In consideration of the mutual agreements
herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The Depositor is the owner of the Trust
Fund that is hereby conveyed to the Trustee in return for the
Certificates. The Trust Fund is being conveyed to the Trustee
to create a trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
As provided herein, an election shall be made that the Trust
Fund (exclusive of (i) the right to receive and the obligation to
pay Net Rate Carryover to the extent such amounts would result in
the payment of interest reflecting an interest rate exceeding the
REMIC Maximum Rate, (ii) the Cap Contract (iii) the Cap Account,
and (v) the Supplemental Interest Trust (collectively, the
“Excluded Trust Assets”) be treated for federal income
tax purposes as comprising two real estate mortgage investment
conduits under Section 860D of the Code (each a “REMIC”
or, in the alternative the “Subsidiary REMIC,” and the
“Master REMIC”). Any inconsistencies or
ambiguities in this Agreement or in the administration of this
Agreement shall be resolved in a manner that preserves the validity
of such REMIC elections.
Each Certificate, other than the
Class R Certificates, represents ownership of a regular
interest in the Master REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.
In addition, each Certificate, other than the Class R,
Class P and Class C Certificates, represents the right to
receive certain payments reflecting an interest rate greater than
the REMIC Maximum Rate to the extent provided herein. The
Class R Certificate represents ownership of the sole Class of
residual interest in each of the Subsidiary REMIC and the Master
REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.
The Master REMIC shall hold as its assets
the Class P Reserve Fund and the uncertificated interests in the
Subsidiary REMIC, other than the LT-R interest, and each such
interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in the
Subsidiary REMIC. The Subsidiary REMIC shall hold as its
assets the property of the Trust Fund other than the interests in
the Subsidiary REMIC, and the Excluded Trust Assets.
The startup day for each REMIC created
hereby for purposes of the REMIC Provisions is the Closing Date.
In addition, for purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the latest
possible maturity date for each regular interest in each REMIC
created hereby is the Latest Possible Maturity Date.
Subsidiary REMIC:
The following table sets forth the
designations, principal balances and interest rates for each
interest in the Subsidiary REMIC, each of which (other than the
LT-R interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in the
Subsidiary REMIC (the “Subsidiary REMIC Regular
Interests”):

The interest rate with
respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period)
for each of these Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interests is a per annum
rate equal to the Net WAC.
(2)
This interest shall have
an initial principal balance equal to one half of the Original
Certificate Principal Balance of its Corresponding Class of
Certificates.
(3)
This interest shall have
an initial principal balance amount equal to the excess of (i) the
aggregate Pool Balance as of the Cut-off Date, over (ii) the
aggregate initial class principal amount of each other regular
interest in the Subsidiary REMIC.
(4)
The LT-R Interest is the
sole Class of residual interest in the Subsidiary REMIC. It
does not have an interest rate or a principal balance.
On each Distribution Date, interest
shall be distributed on the interests in the Subsidiary REMIC based
on the above-described interest rates, except that interest shall
be deferred on the LT-Q Interest to the extent necessary to make
the principal distributions described below.
On each Distribution Date, principal
shall be distributed, and Realized Losses shall be allocated, among
the interests in the Subsidiary REMIC as follows:
(i)
first, concurrently to each Subsidiary
REMIC Regular Interest with a Corresponding Class of Certificates
until the principal balance of each such Subsidiary REMIC Regular
Interest equals 50% of the Class Principal Balance of the
Corresponding Class of Certificates for immediately after such
Distribution Date; and
(ii)
second, to the LT-Q Interest.
On each Distribution Date, the Trust
Administrator shall distribute the Class P Prepayment Charges with
respect to the Mortgage Loans to the LT-Q Interest.
Master REMIC
As provided herein, the Trustee shall
elect to treat the segregated pool of assets consisting of the
Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interests as a REMIC for federal income
tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets shall be
designated as the “Master REMIC.” The Master
REMIC shall also issue the Class R-II Interest, which shall
evidence the sole class of “residual interests” in the
Master REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions under federal
income tax law. The following table irrevocably sets forth
the designation, the Pass-Through Rate, and the initial aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance for the indicated Class of
Certificates.

_______________
(1)
For purposes of Section
1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of the Treasury regulations, the Latest
Possible Maturity Date has been designated as the “latest
possible maturity date” for each Class of
Certificates.
(2)
The Pass-Through Rate on
any Distribution Date with respect to the Class A-1 and Class A-2A
Certificates will be a per annum rate equal to the lesser of (i)
One Month LIBOR for the related Accrual Period plus the related
Certificate Margin for that Distribution Date and (ii) the related
Net Rate Cap.
(3)
The Pass-Through Rate on
any Distribution Date with respect to the Class A-2B, Class A-3,
Class A-4, Class A-5A, Class A-5B, Class A-6A, Class A-6B, Class
M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class
M-7, Class M-8 and Class M-9 Certificates will be a per annum rate
equal to the lesser of (i) the fixed rate for the related Accrual
Period and (ii) the related Net Rate Cap. After the first
possible optional termination date, if the optional termination is
not exercised, the fixed rate for each class of certificates will
increase by 0.50%.
(4)
The Class C
Certificates will accrue interest at its variable Pass-Through Rate
on the Notional Amount of the Class C Certificates outstanding
from time to time. For purposes of the REMIC Provisions,
Class C Certificates shall have an initial principal balance
of $42.70, and the right to receive distributions of such amount
represents a regular interest in the Master REMIC. The
Class C Certificates shall also comprise a notional component,
which represents a regular interest in the Master REMIC. Such
component has a notional balance that will at all times equal the
aggregate of the Class Principal Amounts of the REMIC Regular
Interests, and, for each Distribution Date (and the related Accrual
Period) this notional component shall bear interest at a per annum
rate equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the weighted average of
the interest rates on the Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interests,
over (ii) the Adjusted WAC.
(5)
The Class P Certificates
will not accrue interest. The Class P Certificates shall be
entitled to Class P Prepayment Charges collected with respect to
the Mortgage Loans.
(6)
For purposes of the REMIC
Provisions, the maximum rate of interest payable on the regular
interest evidenced by this Certificate shall not exceed the REMIC
Maximum Rate.

Statement, and any continuation statements, filed by the originator
of such Cooperative Mortgage Loan as secured party, each with
evidence of recording thereof, evidencing the interest of the
originator under the Security Agreement and the Assignment of
Proprietary Lease;
(F)
copies of the filed UCC assignments or
amendments of the security interest referenced in clause (v) above
showing an unbroken chain of title from the originator to the
Trust, each with evidence of recording thereof, evidencing the
interest of the assignee under the Security Agreement and the
Assignment of Proprietary Lease;
(G)
an executed assignment of the interest of
the originator in the Security Agreement, the Assignment of
Proprietary Lease and the Recognition Agreement, showing an
unbroken chain of title from the originator to the Trust;
and
(H)
for any Cooperative Mortgage Loan that
has been modified or amended, the original instrument or
instruments effecting such modification or amendment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any
Mortgage has been recorded in the name of Mortgage Electronic
Registration System, Inc. (“MERS”) or its designee, no
assignment of Mortgage in favor of the Trustee will be required to
be prepared or delivered and instead, the Master Servicer shall
enforce the obligations of the Servicer under the Servicing
Agreement to cause the Trustee to be shown as the owner of the
related Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS for the purpose of the
system of recording transfers of beneficial ownership of mortgages
maintained by MERS.
If in connection with any Mortgage Loan
the Depositor cannot deliver (a) the original recorded Mortgage,
(b) all interim recorded assignments or (c) the lender’s
title policy (together with all riders thereto) satisfying the
requirements of clause (b)(i)(B), (C) or (E) above, respectively,
concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof because such
document or documents have not been returned from the applicable
public recording office in the case of clause (b)(i)(B) or (C)
above, or because the title policy has not been delivered to either
the Custodian or the Depositor by the applicable title insurer in
the case of clause (b)(i)(E) above, the Depositor shall promptly
deliver to the Custodian, in the case of clause (b)(i)(B) or (C)
above, such original Mortgage or such interim assignment, as the
case may be, with evidence of recording indicated thereon upon
receipt thereof from the public recording office, or a copy
thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant recording
office, but in no event shall any such delivery of the original
Mortgage and each such interim assignment or a copy thereof,
certified, if appropriate, by the relevant recording office, be
made later than one year following the Closing Date, or, in the
case of clause (b)(i)(E) above, no later than 120 days following
the Closing Date; provided , however , in the event
the Depositor is unable to deliver by such date each Mortgage and
each such interim assignment by reason of the fact that any such
documents have not been returned by the appropriate recording
office, or, in the case of each such interim assignment, because
the related Mortgage has not been returned by the appropriate
recording office, the Depositor shall deliver such documents to the
Custodian as promptly as possible upon receipt thereof and, in any
event, within 720 days following the Closing Date. The
Depositor shall forward or cause to be forwarded to the Custodian
(a) from time to time additional original documents evidencing an
assumption or modification of a Mortgage Loan and (b) any other
documents required to be delivered by the Depositor to the
Custodian. In the event that the original Mortgage is not
delivered and in connection with the payment in full of the related
Mortgage Loan and the public recording office requires the
presentation of a “lost instruments affidavit and
indemnity” or any equivalent document, because only a copy of
the Mortgage can be delivered with the instrument of satisfaction
or reconveyance, the Custodian shall execute and deliver or cause
to be executed and delivered such a document to the public
recording office. In the case where a public recording office
retains the original recorded Mortgage or in the case where a
Mortgage is lost after recordation in a public recording office,
the Transferor shall deliver to the Custodian a copy of such
Mortgage certified by such public recording office to be a true and
complete copy of the original recorded Mortgage.
If an assignment of Mortgage is to be
recorded, the Depositor shall cause the Mortgage to be assigned to
“U.S. Bank National Association, in trust for the TBW
Mortgage-Backed Trust 2006-6 for the benefit of the Holders of the
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-6” and,
subject to Section 2.02, the Master Servicer shall enforce the
obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement to
(i) cause such assignment to be in proper form for recording in the
appropriate public office for real property records and (ii) cause
to be delivered for recording in the appropriate public office for
real property records the assignments of the Mortgages to the
Trustee, except that, with respect to any assignments of Mortgage
as to which the Servicer has not received the information required
to prepare such assignment in recordable form, the Servicer’s
obligation to do so and to deliver the same for such recording
shall be as soon as practicable after receipt of such information
and in any event within ninety (90) days after receipt thereof and
except that the Servicer need not cause to be recorded any
assignment which relates to a Mortgage Loan (a) in any state where,
in an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee and the
Certificate Insurer, such recording is not required to protect the
Trustee’s interests in the Mortgage Loan against the claim of
any subsequent transferee or any successor to or creditor of the
Depositor or the Transferor, (b) in any state where recordation is
not required by either Rating Agency to obtain the initial ratings
on the Certificates set forth in the Prospectus Supplement or (c)
with respect to any Mortgage which has been recorded in the name of
MERS, or its designee. As of the date hereof, recordation is
not required in any state by either Rating Agency to obtain the
initial rating on the Certificates (upon which statement the Master
Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian may conclusively
rely).
In the case of Mortgage Loans that have
been prepaid in full as of the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu
of delivering the above documents to the Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee, will deposit in the Collection Account the portion of such
payment that is required to be deposited in the Collection Account
pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof.
(c)
The Depositor does hereby establish,
pursuant to the further provisions of this Agreement and the laws
of the State of New York, an express trust (the
“Trust”) to be known, for convenience, as “TBW
Mortgage-Backed Trust 2006-6” and U.S. Bank National
Association is hereby appointed as Trustee in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement.
(d)
The Depositor and the Trustee on behalf
of the Trust agree and understand that it is not intended that any
Mortgage Loan be included in the Trust Fund that is (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, (iv) a “high risk home
loan” under the Illinois High Risk Home Loan Act, effective
as of January 1, 2004, or (v) a “high cost home
loan” under the Indiana High Cost Home Loan Law, effective
January 1, 2005. The Trustee shall be entitled to
indemnification from the Depositor and the Trust Fund for any loss,
liability or expense arising out of, or in connection with, the
provisions of the preceding sentence, including, without
limitation, all costs, liabilities and expenses (including
reasonable legal fees and expenses) of investigating and defending
itself against any claim, action or proceeding, pending or
threatened, relating to such provisions.
(e)
Each of the Collection Account and
Distribution Account shall at all times be an Eligible Account,
provided that the Collection Account may be deemed to be a
sub-account of the Distribution Account. If at any time
either the Collection Account or the Distribution Account ceases to
be an Eligible Account, the Master Servicer or the Trust
Administrator, as applicable, shall immediately establish and
maintain a new Collection Account or Distribution Account, as
applicable, that is an Eligible Account, and shall immediately
transfer all funds on deposit in the former Collection Account or
Distribution Account, as applicable, to the new Collection Account
or Distribution Account, as applicable.
(f)
The Depositor hereby directs the Trust
Administrator to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under
the Cap Contract. The Transferor, the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Class A-2A
Certificates by their acceptance of such Certificates acknowledge
and agree that the Trust Administrator shall execute, deliver and
perform its obligations under the Cap Contract and shall do so
solely in its capacity as Trust Administrator, and not in its
individual capacity. Every provision of this Agreement relating to
the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection
to the Trust Administrator shall apply to the Trust
Administrator’s execution of the Cap Contract, and the
performance of its duties and satisfaction of its obligations
thereunder.
Section 2.02. Acceptance by Trustee
of the Mortgage Loans.
The Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee,
will acknowledge receipt of the documents identified in the Initial
Certification issued by it in the form annexed to the Custodial
Agreement as Exhibit 1 and will declare that it holds and will hold
such related documents and the other documents delivered to it
constituting the Mortgage Files, and the Custodian and Trustee
together declare that it holds or will hold such other assets as
are included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and
benefit of all present and future Certificateholders and the
Certificate Insurer. The Custodian acknowledges that it will
maintain possession of the Mortgage Notes held by it in the State
of Florida, unless otherwise permitted by the Rating Agencies, the
Trustee and the Certificate Insurer.
The Custodian has agreed to execute and
deliver on the Closing Date to the Depositor and the Trustee an
Initial Certification in the form annexed to the Custodial
Agreement as Exhibit 1. Based on its review and examination,
and only as to the documents identified in such Initial
Certification, the Custodian acknowledges, subject to any
applicable exceptions noted on Exhibit 1, that such documents
appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan.
The Custodian shall be under no duty or obligation to (i)
inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments,
certificates or other papers to determine that the same are
genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or
that they have actually been recorded in the real estate records or
that they are other than what they purport to be on their face or
(ii) determine whether the Mortgage File should include any of the
documents specified in Section 2.01(b)(i)(D) with respect to each
Mortgage Loan that is not a Cooperative Mortgage Loan and Section
2.01(b)(ii)(H) with respect to each Cooperative Mortgage Loan,
unless the Mortgage Loan Schedule indicates that such documents are
applicable.
Not later than 90 days after the Closing
Date, the Custodian shall deliver to the Depositor, the Certificate
Insurer, the Trustee and the Transferor a Final Certification in
the form annexed to the Custodial Agreement as Exhibit 2, with any
applicable exceptions noted thereon. Upon receipt of written
request from the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator or the Trustee, the Custodian shall as soon as
practicable supply such Person with a list of all of the documents
relating to the Mortgage Loans missing from the Custodial Files, in
accordance with the Custodial Agreement.
If, in the course of such review, the
Custodian finds any document constituting a part of a related
Mortgage File which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01,
the Custodian shall list such as an exception in the Final
Certification; provided , however , that the
Custodian shall not make any determination as to whether (i) any
endorsement is sufficient to transfer all right, title and interest
of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in
and to that Mortgage Note, (ii) any assignment is in recordable
form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to
the assignee thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment
relates or (iii) the Mortgage File should include any of the
documents specified in Section 2.01(b)(i)(D) with respect to each
Mortgage Loan that is not a Cooperative Mortgage Loan and Section
2.01(b)(ii)(H) with respect to each Cooperative Mortgage Loan,
unless the Mortgage Loan Schedule indicates that such documents are
applicable.
Upon receiving each Final Certification
from the Custodian, the Trustee shall notify the Transferor and the
Certificate Insurer of any document defects listed as exceptions in
each such Final Certification. The Transferor shall promptly
correct or cure such document defects, and if the Transferor fails
to correct or cure the defect within ninety (90) days of the
earlier of its discovery or its receipt of written notice of any
document constituting a part of a Mortgage File that does not meet
the requirements of Section 2.01, and such defect materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders or the
Certificate Insurer in the related Mortgage Loan, the Transferor
shall repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan from the Trustee at the
Purchase Price. In each case, such Deleted Mortgage Loan will
be removed from the Trust. Any such purchase of a Deleted
Mortgage Loan shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the
Custodian of a Request for Release substantially in the form of
Exhibit M. The Purchase Price for any such Deleted Mortgage
Loan shall be paid by the Transferor to the Master Servicer for
deposit in the Collection Account on or prior to the Distribution
Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month
following the month of repurchase and, upon receipt of such
deposit, the Master Servicer shall instruct the Custodian to
release, and the Custodian shall release, the related Mortgage File
to the Transferor and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at the
Transferor’s written request such instruments of transfer or
assignment prepared by the Transferor, in each case without
recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest
in the Transferor, or a designee, the Trustee’s interest in
any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto. The
Transferor shall promptly reimburse the Master Servicer and the
Trustee for any expenses reasonably incurred by the Master Servicer
or the Trustee in respect of enforcing such repurchase by the
Transferor.
The Custodian shall retain possession and
custody of each related Mortgage File in accordance with and
subject to the terms and conditions of the Custodial Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, the Master
Servicer shall cause the Servicer to promptly deliver to the
Custodian, who shall thereupon promptly deposit within each
Mortgage File, upon the execution or receipt thereof, the originals
of such other documents or instruments constituting the Mortgage
File as come into the possession of the Servicer from time to
time.
It is understood and agreed that the
obligations of the Transferor hereunder to purchase any Mortgage
Loan which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01 above or
substitute for the related Mortgage Loan an Eligible Substitute
Mortgage Loan shall constitute the sole remedies respecting such
defect available to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Depositor
and any Certificateholder.
Section 2.03. Remedies for Breaches
of Representations and Warranties.
The Transferor hereby makes the
representations and warranties set forth in Schedule II hereto, and
by this reference incorporated herein, to the Depositor, the
Certificate Insurer and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or if
so specified therein, as of the Cut-off Date. With respect to
any representation and warranties set forth on Schedule II hereto
which are made to the best of the Transferor’s knowledge if
it is discovered by any of the Depositor, the Certificate Insurer,
the Master Servicer, the Transferor, the Servicer, the Trustee or
the Trust Administrator that the substance of such representation
and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and
adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the
interests of the Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer
therein, notwithstanding the Transferor’s lack of knowledge
with respect to the substance of such representation or warranty,
such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable
representation or warranty.
Upon discovery by any of the Depositor,
the Certificate Insurer, the Transferor, the Master Servicer, the
Trust Administrator or the Custodian of a breach of a
representation or warranty made by the Transferor pursuant to this
Section 2.03 that materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer in
any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give
prompt notice thereof to the other parties and the Trustee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a breach which causes a
Mortgage Loan not to constitute a “qualified mortgage”
within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code will be
deemed automatically to materially and adversely affect the
interests of the Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan.
Upon receiving notice of a breach, the Trustee shall in turn
notify the Transferor of such breach. The Trustee shall
enforce the obligations of the Transferor in accordance with this
Section 2.03 to correct or cure any such breach of a
representation or warranty made herein, and if the Transferor fails
to correct or cure the defect within such period, and such defect
materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer in the related
Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall enforce the Transferor’s
obligations hereunder to (i) purchase such Mortgage Loan at
the Purchase Price or (ii) substitute for the related Mortgage
Loan an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan. In each case, such
Deleted Mortgage Loan will be removed from the Trust
Fund.
The Transferor hereby covenants that
within ninety (90) days of the earlier of its discovery or its
receipt of written notice from any party of a breach of any
representation or warranty made pursuant to this Section 2.03 which
materially and adversely affects the interest of the
Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer in any Mortgage Loan,
it shall cure such breach in all material respects, and if such
breach is not so cured, shall, (i) if such ninety (90) day period
expires prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, remove
such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund and substitute in
its place an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans
into the Trust Fund, in the manner and subject to the conditions
set forth in this Section; or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage
Loan or Mortgage Loans from the Trustee at the Purchase Price in
the manner set forth below. The Transferor shall promptly
reimburse the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate
Insurer and the Trustee for any expenses reasonably incurred by the
Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer or the
Trustee in respect of enforcing the remedies for such breach by the
Transferor.
With respect to any Eligible Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans, the Transferor shall deliver to
the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer, the Mortgage Note,
the Mortgage, the related assignment of the Mortgage, and such
other documents and agreements as are required by Section 2.01,
with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as
required by Section 2.01. No substitution is permitted to be
made on any day in any calendar month after the Determination Date
for such month.
With respect to substitutions made by the
Transferor, Scheduled Payments due with respect to Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall not be
part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Transferor on
the next succeeding Distribution Date. For the month of
substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the
monthly payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month and
thereafter the Transferor shall be entitled to retain all amounts
received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The
Custodian shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit of
the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer to reflect the
removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the
Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans and the
Custodian shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the
Trustee. Upon such substitution, the Eligible Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans shall be subject to the terms of
this Agreement in all respects, and the Transferor shall be deemed
to have made with respect to such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan
or Mortgage Loans, as of the date of substitution, the
representations and warranties made pursuant to this
Section 2.03 with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Upon
any such substitution and the deposit to the Collection Account of
the amount required to be deposited therein in connection with such
substitution as described in the following paragraph, the Custodian
shall release the Mortgage File held for the benefit of the
Certificateholders relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the
Transferor and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at the
Transferor’s direction such instruments of transfer or
assignment prepared by the Transferor, without recourse,
representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest title in
the Transferor, as applicable, or its designee, the Trustee’s
interest in any Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted for pursuant to
this Section 2.03.
For any month in which the Transferor
substitutes one or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans for one
or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will determine
the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all
such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of
substitution is less than the aggregate Principal Balance of all
such Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of the scheduled
principal portion of the monthly payments received in the month of
substitution). The amount of such shortage (the
“Substitution Adjustment Amount”) plus an amount
equal to the aggregate of any unreimbursed Advances with respect to
such Deleted Mortgage Loans shall be remitted by the Transferor to
the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer shall deposit such
amounts received from the Transferor into the Collection Account on
or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the
Distribution Date in the month succeeding the calendar month during
which the related Mortgage Loan became required to be purchased or
replaced hereunder.
In the event that the Transferor shall
have repurchased a Mortgage Loan, the Purchase Price therefor shall
be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.07 on
or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the
Distribution Date in the month following the month during which the
Transferor became obligated hereunder to repurchase or replace such
Mortgage Loan and upon such deposit of the Purchase Price and
receipt of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit M hereto,
the Custodian shall release the related Mortgage File held for the
benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer to
the Transferor, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at the
Transferor’s direction such instruments of transfer or
assignment prepared by the Transferor, in each case without
recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to
transfer title from the Trustee. It is understood and agreed
that the obligation under this Agreement of the Transferor to cure,
repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has
occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedies
against the Transferor respecting such matters available to
Certificateholders, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, the
Depositor, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee on their
behalf.
The provisions of this Section 2.03 shall
survive the conveyance and assignment of the Mortgage Files to the
Trustee and the delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the
Custodian for the benefit of the Trustee, the Certificateholders
and the Certificate Insurer.
Section 2.04. Representations and
Warranties of the Depositor as to the Mortgage Loans.
The Depositor hereby represents and
warrants to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the NIMS Insurer,
the Certificate Insurer and the Master Servicer with respect to
each Mortgage Loan as of the date hereof or such other date set
forth herein that as of the Closing Date, and following the
transfer of the Mortgage Loans to it by the Transferor, the
Depositor had good title to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage
Notes were subject to no offsets, liens, defenses or
counterclaims.
It is understood and agreed that the
representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04 shall
survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Custodian. Upon
discovery by the Depositor, the Transferor, the Master Servicer,
the Certificate Insurer, the Trust Administrator, the NIMS Insurer
or the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing representations
and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04 (referred to herein
as a “breach”), which breach materially and adversely
affects the interest of the Certificateholders or the Certificate
Insurer, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt
written notice to the other parties hereto and to each Rating
Agency.
Section 2.05.
[Reserved].
Section 2.06. Execution and
Delivery of Certificates.
The Trustee acknowledges the transfer and
assignment to it of the Trust Fund and acknowledges the issuance of
the Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interests, all as described in the
Preliminary Statement and the Residual Certificates in exchange
therefor. The Trustee further acknowledges the transfer and
assignment to it of the Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interests and,
concurrently with such transfer and assignment, the Trust
Administrator, on its behalf, has executed, authenticated and
delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, the Certificates
in authorized denominations evidencing directly or indirectly the
entire ownership of the Trust Fund. The Trustee agrees to
hold the Trust Fund and the Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interests and
to exercise the rights referred to above for the benefit of all
present and future Holders of the Certificates and the Certificate
Insurer and to perform the duties set forth in this Agreement to
the best of its ability, to the end that the interests of the
Holders of the Certificates and the Certificate Insurer may be
adequately and effectively protected.
Section 2.07. REMIC Matters.
The Preliminary Statement sets forth the
designations as “regular interests” or “residual
interests” and “latest possible maturity date”
for federal income tax purposes of all interests created hereby.
The “Startup Day” for purposes of the REMIC
Provisions shall be the Closing Date. Each REMIC shall have
the calendar year as its fiscal year and shall use the accrual
method of accounting.

Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer hereby covenants to
the Depositor and the Trustee as follows:

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND MASTER
SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 3.01. Master Servicing of
Mortgage Loans.
For and on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer, the Master Servicer
shall supervise, monitor and oversee the obligation of the Servicer
to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
terms of the Servicing Agreement and shall have full power and
authority to do any and all things which it may deem necessary or
desirable in connection with such master servicing and
administration. In performing its obligations hereunder, the
Master Servicer shall act in a manner consistent with this
Agreement, subject to the prior sentence, and with customary and
usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage loan master
servicers. Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall oversee and
consult with the Servicer as necessary from time to time to carry
out the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder, shall
receive, review and evaluate all reports, information and other
data provided to the Master Servicer by the Servicer and shall
cause the Servicer to perform and observe the covenants,
obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by the
Servicer under the Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer
shall independently and separately monitor the Servicer’s
servicing activities with respect to each related Mortgage Loan,
reconcile the results of such monitoring with such information
provided in the previous sentence on a monthly basis and coordinate
corrective adjustments to the Servicer’s and Master
Servicer’s records, and based on such reconciled and
corrected information, prepare the statements specified in
Section 4.04 and any other information and statements required
hereunder. The Master Servicer shall reconcile the results of
its Mortgage Loan monitoring with the actual remittances of the
Servicer to the Collection Account pursuant to the Servicing
Agreement.
In accordance with the standards of the
preceding paragraph and to the extent the Servicer does not make
such advance, the Master Servicer shall advance or cause to be

event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines that
the Servicer should be terminated in accordance with the Servicing
Agreement, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to the

successor Servicer. Such enforcement, including, without
limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of the
Servicing Agreement and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies,
shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such
time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment,
would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans.
The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement
at its own expense, provided that the Master Servicer shall
not be required to prosecute or defend any legal action except to
the extent that the Master Servicer shall have received reasonable

and expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses associated
with an evaluation of the potential termination of the Servicer as
a result of an event of default by the Servicer and (ii) all
costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of

Compensating Interest to the same extent that the Servicer was
required to make such payment of Compensating Interest.
(g)
To the extent the Servicer requests the
consent of the Trust or the Master Servicer with respect to any
servicing-related matter for which the Servicer is required to seek
consent under the Servicing Agreement or Assignment Agreement, the
Master Servicer shall promptly or within the time frame specified
in the Servicing Agreement, if any, evaluate such request for
consent in the best interest of the Trust and the
Certificateholders, and grant or withhold such consent
accordingly.

under the Servicing Agreement to procure the consent of the Master
Servicer in connection with the Servicer’s engagement of a

take such actions (including the negotiation, settlement,
compromise or enforcement of the insured’s claim) as shall be
necessary to realize recovery under such policies. Any
proceeds disbursed to the Master Servicer (or disbursed to the
Servicer and remitted to the Master Servicer) in respect of such
policies, bonds or contracts shall be promptly deposited in the
Collection Account upon receipt, except that any amounts realized
that are to be applied to the repair or restoration of the related
Mortgaged Property as a condition precedent to the presentation of
claims on the related Mortgage Loan to the insurer under any
applicable Insurance Policy need not be so deposited (or
remitted).
Section 3.13. Maintenance of the
Primary Insurance Policies.
(a)
The Master Servicer shall not take, or
permit the Servicer (to the extent such action is prohibited under
the Servicing Agreement) to take, any action that would result in
noncoverage under any applicable Primary Insurance Policy of any
loss which, but for the actions of such Master Servicer or
Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The Master
Servicer shall use its best reasonable efforts to cause the
Servicer (to the extent required under the Servicing Agreement) to
keep in force and effect (to the extent that the Mortgage Loan
requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance), primary
mortgage insurance applicable to each Mortgage Loan in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement,
as applicable. The Master Servicer shall not, and shall not
permit the Servicer (to the extent required under the Servicing
Agreement) to, cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary Insurance
Policy that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the
Mortgage Note and is required to be kept in force hereunder except
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the
Servicing Agreement, as applicable.
(b)
The Master Servicer agrees to present, or
to cause the Servicer (to the extent required under the Servicing
Agreement) to present, on behalf of the Trustee, the
Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer, claims to the
insurer under any Primary Insurance Policies and, in this regard,
to take such reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit
recovery under any Primary Insurance Policies respecting defaulted
Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to Section 3.07, any amounts
collected by the Master Servicer or the Servicer under any Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the Collection
Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Sections 3.07 and
3.10.
Section 3.14. Realization upon
Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
The Master Servicer shall cause the
Servicer (to the extent required under the Servicing Agreement) to
foreclose upon, repossess or otherwise comparably convert the
ownership of Mortgaged Properties securing such of the Mortgage
Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no
satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent
payments, all in accordance with the Servicing
Agreement.
Section 3.15. REO
Property.
(a)
In the event the Trust Fund acquires
ownership of any REO Property in respect of any related Mortgage
Loan, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the
Trustee, or to its nominee, on behalf of the related
Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer. The Master
Servicer shall, to the extent provided in the Servicing Agreement,
cause the Servicer to sell any REO Property as expeditiously as
possible and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement
and the Servicing Agreement, as applicable. Pursuant to its
efforts to sell such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall cause
the Servicer to protect and conserve such REO Property in the
manner and to the extent required by the Servicing Agreement,
subject to the REMIC Provisions.
(b)
The Master Servicer shall, to the extent
required by the Servicing Agreement, cause the Servicer to deposit
all funds collected and received in connection with the operation
of any REO Property in the Protected Account.
(c)
The Master Servicer and the Servicer,
upon the final disposition of any REO Property, shall be entitled
to reimbursement for any related unreimbursed Advances and other
unreimbursed advances as well as any unpaid Servicing Fees from
Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with the final
disposition of such REO Property; provided , that any such
unreimbursed Advances as well as any unpaid Servicing Fees may be
reimbursed or paid, as the case may be, prior to final disposition,
out of any net rental income or other net amounts derived from such
REO Property.
(d)
The Liquidation Proceeds from the final
disposition of the REO Property, net of any payment to the Master
Servicer and the Servicer as provided above shall be deposited in
the Protected Account on or prior to the Determination Date in the
month following receipt thereof and be remitted by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to the Master Servicer for deposit into
the Collection Account.
In the event that the Trust Fund acquires
any Mortgaged Property as aforesaid or otherwise in connection with
a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the Master
Servicer shall enforce the obligation of the Servicer to dispose of
such Mortgaged Property prior to the close of the third calendar
year after the year in which the Trust Fund acquires such Mortgaged
Property unless the Servicer shall have applied for and received an
extension of such period from the Internal Revenue Service, in
which case the Trust Fund may continue to hold such Mortgaged
Property for the period of such extension. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property
acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to continue
to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or
on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any
terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to
qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject any REMIC
hereunder to the imposition of any federal, state or local income
taxes on the income earned from such Mortgaged Property under
Section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless the
Master Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, has agreed to indemnify
and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of
any such taxes.
In the event of a default on a Mortgage
Loan one or more of whose obligors is not a United States Person,
as that term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, in
connection with any foreclosure or acquisition of a deed-in-lieu of
foreclosure (together, “ foreclosure ”) in
respect of such Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will cause the
Servicer to comply with the provisions of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.1445 2(d)(3) (or any successor provision thereto)
necessary to assure that no withholding tax obligation arises with
respect to the proceeds of such foreclosure except to the extent,
if any, that proceeds of such foreclosure are required to be
remitted to the obligors on such Mortgage Loan.
Section 3.16. Due on Sale Clauses;
Assumption Agreements.
To the extent provided in the Servicing
Agreement, to the extent Mortgage Loans contain enforceable
due-on-sale clauses, the Master Servicer shall cause the Servicer
to enforce such clauses in accordance with the Servicing Agreement.
If applicable law prohibits the enforcement of a due-on-sale
clause or such clause is otherwise not enforced in accordance with
the Servicing Agreement, and, as a consequence, a Mortgage Loan is
assumed, the original Mortgagor may be released from liability in
accordance with the Servicing Agreement.
Section 3.17. Trustee to Cooperate;
Release of Mortgage Files.
Upon (i) the payment in full of any
Mortgage Loan, or (ii) the receipt by the Master Servicer of a
notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner
customary for such purposes or otherwise in connection with the
servicing of any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall, upon
receipt of notification from the Servicer pursuant to the Servicing
Agreement, which notification shall state that such payment in full
has been deposited in the Collection Account or has otherwise been
escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, instruct the
Custodian to, and the Custodian shall release the related Mortgage
File to the Servicer. Upon notification, the Trustee shall at
the Custodian’s direction execute and deliver to the
Custodian the request for reconveyance, deed of reconveyance or
release or satisfaction of mortgage or such instrument releasing
the lien of the Mortgage in each case provided by the Custodian,
together with the Mortgage Note with written evidence of
cancellation thereon. Expenses incurred in connection with
any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be
chargeable to the related Mortgagor.
If the Master Servicer or Servicer at any
time seeks to initiate a foreclosure proceeding in respect of any
Mortgaged Property as authorized by this Agreement or the Servicing
Agreement, the Master Servicer or Servicer shall deliver or cause
to be delivered to the Trustee, for signature, as appropriate, any
court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other
documents necessary to effectuate such foreclosure or any legal
action brought to obtain judgment against the Mortgagor on the
Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment or
to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage
Note or the Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in
equity.
Subject to this Section 3.17, the Trustee
shall execute, at the written request of the Master Servicer, and
furnish to the Master Servicer or the Servicer such documents as
are necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer or the
Servicer to carry out their servicing and administrative duties
hereunder. The Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of
the Master Servicer or the Servicer under any such
documents.
Section 3.18. Documents, Records
and Funds in Possession of the Master Servicer and the Custodian to
Be Held for the Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of
this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall forward to the Custodian
with an instruction to, and the Custodian shall, place within the
Mortgage File, and the Master Servicer shall cause the Servicer to
transmit to the Custodian as required by this Agreement and the
Servicing Agreement, all documents and instruments in respect of a
Mortgage Loan coming into the possession of the Master Servicer or
Servicer from time to time and shall account fully to the Trustee
for any funds received by the Master Servicer or Servicer or which
otherwise are collected by the Master Servicer or Servicer as
Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any
Mortgage Loan. All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held
by, or under the control of, the Master Servicer, the Servicer or
the Custodian in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the
collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation
Proceeds, including but not limited to, any funds on deposit in the
Collection Account or any Protected Account, shall be held by the
Master Servicer, the Servicer or the Custodian for and on behalf of
the Trustee and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property
of the Trust, subject to the applicable provisions of this
Agreement and the Servicing Agreement. Each of the Master
Servicer and the Custodian also agrees that it shall not create,
incur or subject any Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited
in the Collection Account, Distribution Account or any Escrow
Account, or any funds that otherwise are or may become due or
payable to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders
and the Certificate Insurer, to any claim, lien, security interest,
judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, or assert
by legal action or otherwise any claim or right of setoff against
any Mortgage File or any funds collected on, or in connection with,
a Mortgage Loan, except, however, that the Master Servicer shall be
entitled to set off against and deduct from any such funds any
amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master Servicer
under this Agreement.
Section 3.19. Master Servicing
Compensation.
As compensation for its activities
hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain or
withdraw from the Collection Account an amount equal to the Master
Servicing Compensation.
Section 3.20. Access to Certain
Documentation.
The Master Servicer and the Custodian
shall provide and the Master Servicer shall cause the Servicer to
provide in accordance with the Servicing Agreement to the OTS and
the FDIC and to comparable regulatory authorities supervising
Holders of Mezzanine Certificates and the examiners and supervisory
agents of the OTS, the FDIC and such other authorities, access to
the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by
applicable regulations of the OTS and the FDIC. Such access
shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable and
prior written request and during normal business hours at the
offices designated by the Master Servicer, the Custodian and the
Servicer. Nothing in this Section shall limit the obligation
of the Master Servicer, the Custodian and the Servicer to observe
any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding
the Mortgagors and the failure of the Master Servicer, the
Custodian or the Servicer to provide access as provided in this
Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a
breach of this Section. In fulfilling such requests, the
Master Servicer and the Custodian shall not be responsible to
determine the sufficiency of such information.

(a)
The Master Servicer and the Trust
Administrator shall deliver or otherwise make available (and the
Master Servicer and Trust Administrator shall cause any Servicing

failure by such party identified therein, in the fulfillment of any
of such party’s obligations hereunder.

the Master Servicer and the Custodian shall each forward to the
Trust Administrator the name of each Servicing Function Participant
engaged by it and what Relevant Servicing Criteria will be
addressed in the Assessment of Compliance prepared by such
Servicing Function Participant (provided, that the Master Servicer
need not provide such information to the Trust Administrator so

Servicing Criteria and taken individually address the Relevant
Servicing Criteria for each party as set forth on Exhibit X and on
any similar exhibit set forth in the Servicing Agreement in respect
of the Servicer and notify the Depositor of any
exceptions.

the basis of an examination conducted by such firm in accordance
with standards for attestation engagements issued or adopted by the
PCAOB, it is expressing an opinion as to whether such party’s
compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria was fairly stated

regarding such party’s assessment of compliance with the
Relevant Servicing Criteria. In the event that an overall
opinion cannot be expressed, such registered public accounting firm
shall state in such report why it was unable to express such an
opinion. Such report must be available for general use and
not contain restricted use language.
(ii)
Promptly after receipt of each such
Assessment of Compliance and Accountant’s Attestation the
Trust Administrator shall confirm that each assessment submitted
pursuant to Section 3.22(a)(i) is coupled with an attestation that
appears on its face to meet the requirements of this Section and
notify the Depositor of any exceptions.
