2.01. Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.
The Depositor, concurrently with the execution
and delivery hereof, does hereby transfer, assign, set over and
otherwise convey in trust to the Trustee without recourse for the
benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer all
the right, title and interest of the Depositor, including any
security interest therein for the benefit of the Depositor, in and
to (i) each Mortgage Loan identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule,
including the related Cut-off Date Principal Balance, all interest
accruing thereon on and after the Cut-off Date and all collections
in respect of interest and principal due after the Cut-off Date;
(ii) property which secured each such Mortgage Loan and which has
been acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure; (iii)
its interest in any insurance policies in respect of the Mortgage
Loans; (iv) the rights of the Depositor under the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, (v) all other assets included or to be included
in the Trust Fund, and (vi) all proceeds of any of the foregoing.
Such assignment includes all interest and principal due and
collected by the Depositor or the Servicer after the Cut-off Date
with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
In connection with such transfer and assignment,
the Depositor, does hereby deliver to, and deposit with the
Trustee, or its designated agent (the “Custodian”), the
following documents or instruments with respect to each Mortgage
Loan so transferred and assigned by the Originator, on behalf of
the Depositor:
(i) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed either (A)
in blank, in which case the Trustee shall cause the endorsement to
be completed or (B) in the following form: “Pay to the order
of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Trustee, without recourse”, or
with respect to any lost Mortgage Note, an original Lost Note
Affidavit stating that the original mortgage note was lost,
misplaced or destroyed, together with a copy of the related
mortgage note; provided , however , that such
substitutions of Lost Note Affidavits for original Mortgage Notes
may occur only with respect to Mortgage Loans, the aggregate
Cut-off Date Principal Balance, of which is less than or equal to
1.00% of the Pool Balance as of the Cut-off Date;
(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. The Mortgage shall be
assigned either (A) in blank or (B) to “Wells Fargo Bank,
N.A., as Trustee, without recourse”;
(iv) an original of any intervening assignment of
Mortgage showing a complete chain of assignments;
(v) the original or a certified copy of
lender’s title insurance policy; and
(vi) the original or copies of each assumption,
modification, written assurance or substitution agreement, if
any.
The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver (or
cause the Custodian to execute and deliver) to the Depositor, the
Certificate Insurer and the NIMS Insurer on or prior to the Closing
Date an acknowledgment of receipt of the original Mortgage Note
(with any exceptions noted), substantially in the form attached as
Exhibit F-3 hereto.
If any of the documents referred to in Section
2.01(ii), (iii) or (iv) above has as of the Closing Date been
submitted for recording but either (x) has not been returned from
the applicable public recording office or (y) has been lost or such
public recording office has retained the original of such document,
the obligations of the Depositor to deliver such documents shall be
deemed to be satisfied upon (1) delivery to the Trustee or the
Custodian no later than the Closing Date, of a copy of each such
document certified by the Servicer, in its capacity as 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 Servicer, in its capacity as Originator, delivery
to the Trustee or the Custodian, promptly upon receipt thereof of
either the original or a copy of such document certified by the
applicable public recording office to be a true and complete copy
of the original. If the original lender’s title insurance
policy, or a certified copy thereof, was not delivered pursuant to
Section 2.01(v) above, the Servicer, in its capacity as Originator,
shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the
Custodian, the original or a copy of a written commitment or
interim binder or preliminary report of title issued by the title
insurance or escrow company or an original attorney’s opinion
of title, with the original or a certified copy thereof to be
delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian, promptly upon receipt
thereof. The Servicer or the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian promptly upon receipt
thereof any other documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File
received with respect to any Mortgage Loan, including, but not
limited to, any original documents evidencing an assumption or
modification of any Mortgage Loan.
Upon discovery or receipt of notice of any
materially defective document in, or that a document is missing
from, a Mortgage File, the Servicer, in its capacity as Originator,
shall have 120 days to cure such defect or deliver such missing
document to the Trustee or the Custodian. If the Originator does
not cure such defect or deliver such missing document within such
time period, the Servicer, in its capacity as Originator, shall
either repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan in
accordance with Section 2.03.
The Depositor (at the expense of the Servicer,
in its capacity as Originator) shall cause the Assignments which
were delivered in blank to be completed and shall cause all
Assignments referred to in Section 2.01(iii) hereof and, to the
extent necessary, in Section 2.01(iv) hereof to be recorded. The
Depositor shall be required to deliver such Assignments for
recording within 90 days of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, however, for administrative convenience and facilitation
of servicing and to reduce closing costs, the Assignments of
Mortgage shall not be required to be submitted for recording
(except with respect to any Mortgage Loan located in Maryland and
Kentucky) unless the Trustee and the Depositor receive 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 (which, with respect to the Class A Certificates,
shall be without giving effect to the Policy); provided, however,
each Assignment shall be submitted for recording by the Depositor
in the manner described above, at no expense to the Trust Fund or
Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of: (i) reasonable direction by
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting
Rights, (ii) the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination,
(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 hereof, (v) if the Originator
is not the Servicer and with respect to any one Assignment the
occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to
the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage, (vi) any Mortgage Loan
that is 90 days or more Delinquent and such recordation would be
necessary to facilitate conversion of the Mortgaged Property in
accordance with Section 3.16 and (vii) reasonable direction by the
Certificate Insurer or the NIMS Insurer. Upon (a) receipt of
written notice from the Trustee that recording of the Assignments
is required pursuant to one or more of the conditions (excluding
(v) and (vi) above) set forth in the preceding sentence or (b) upon
the occurrence of condition (v) or (vi) in the preceding sentence,
the Depositor shall be required to deliver such Assignments for
recording as provided above, promptly and in any event within 30
days following receipt of such notice. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Originator fails to pay the cost of recording the
Assignments, such expense will be paid by the Trustee and the
Trustee shall be reimbursed for such expenses by the Trust. To the
extent not previously delivered to the Trustee by the Depositor,
the Depositor shall furnish the Trustee, or its designated agent,
with a copy of each Assignment submitted for recording. In the
event that any such Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded
because of a defect therein, the Depositor shall promptly have a
substitute Assignment prepared or have such defect cured, as the
case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly
recorded.
The Depositor herewith delivers to the Trustee
an executed copy of the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement.
In addition, on or prior to the Closing Date,
the Depositor shall cause the Certificate Insurer to deliver the
Policy to the Trustee.
The Servicer shall forward to the Custodian
original documents evidencing an assumption, modification,
consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan entered into in
accordance with this Agreement within two weeks of their execution;
provided, however, that the Servicer shall provide the Custodian
with a certified true copy of any such document submitted for
recordation within two weeks of its execution, and shall provide
the original of any document submitted for recordation or a copy of
such document certified by the appropriate public recording office
to be a true and complete copy of the original within 365 days of
its submission for recordation. In the event that the Servicer
cannot provide a copy of such document certified by the public
recording office within such 365 day period, an Officers’
Certificate of the Servicer which shall (A) identify the recorded
document, (B) state that the recorded document has not been
delivered to the Custodian due solely to a delay caused by the
public recording office, (C) state the amount of time generally
required by the applicable recording office to record and return a
document submitted for recordation, if known and (D) specify the
date the applicable recorded document is expected to be delivered
to the Custodian, and, upon receipt of a copy of such document
certified by the public recording office, the Servicer shall
immediately deliver such document to the Custodian. In the event
the appropriate public recording office will not certify as to the
accuracy of such document, the Servicer shall deliver a copy of
such document certified by an officer of the Servicer to be a true
and complete copy of the original to the Custodian.
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 HOEPA or any other
applicable predatory or abusive lending laws.
SECTION
2.02. Acceptance by Trustee.
The Trustee acknowledges the receipt of the
Policy and, subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject
to the review described below and any exceptions noted on the
exception report described in the next paragraph below, the Trustee
acknowledges receipt of the documents referred to in Section 2.01
above and all other assets included in the definition of
“Trust Fund” 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 “Trust
Fund” in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all
present and future Certificateholders and the Certificate
Insurer.
The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer, to review, or that
it has reviewed pursuant to Section 2.01 (or to cause the Custodian
to review or that it has caused the Custodian to have reviewed)
each Mortgage File on or prior to the Closing Date, with respect to
each Mortgage Loan (or, with respect to any document delivered
after the Startup Day, within 45 days of receipt and with respect
to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage, within 45 days after the
assignment thereof). The Trustee further agrees, for the benefit of
the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer, to certify to
the Depositor, the Servicer and the NIMS Insurer in substantially
the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1, within 45 days after the
Closing Date, with respect to each Mortgage Loan (or, with respect
to any document delivered after the Startup Day, within 45 days of
receipt and with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage,
within 45 days after the assignment thereof) 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 Section 2.01 of this Agreement are in its
possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and have
not been mutilated, damaged or torn and relate to such Mortgage
Loan and (iii) based on its examination and only as to the
foregoing, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule
that corresponds to items (1) and (2) of the 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 to
inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments,
certificates or other papers to determine that they are genuine,
enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or that
they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what
they purport to be on their face.
Prior to the first anniversary date of this
Agreement the Trustee shall deliver (or cause the Custodian to
deliver) to the Depositor, the Servicer, the Certificate Insurer
and the NIMS Insurer a final certification in the form annexed
hereto as Exhibit F-2 evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage
Files, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.
If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage
Files and making or preparing, as the case may be, the
certifications referred to above, the Trustee (or the Custodian, as
applicable) finds any document or documents constituting a part of
a Mortgage File to be missing or defective in any material respect,
at the conclusion of its review the Trustee shall so notify the
Originator, the Depositor, the Certificate Insurer, the NIMS
Insurer and the Servicer. In addition, upon the discovery by the
Originator, the Depositor, the Certificate Insurer, the NIMS
Insurer or the Servicer (or upon receipt by the Trustee of written
notification of such breach) of a breach of any of the
representations and warranties made by the Originator 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 or the Certificate
Insurer in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach
shall give prompt written notice to the other parties to this
Agreement and the Certificate Insurer.
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 the Certificate Insurer
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 Responsible Party.
(a) Upon discovery or receipt of written notice of
any materially defective document in, or that a document is missing
from, a Mortgage File or of the breach by the Originator or the
Responsible Party of any representation, warranty or covenant under
the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage
Loan which materially adversely affects the value of such Mortgage
Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders or the
Certificate Insurer, the Trustee shall promptly notify the
Originator, the Certificate Insurer, the Responsible Party, the
NIMS Insurer and the Servicer of such defect, missing document or
breach and request that the Originator or the Responsible Party, as
applicable and as set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, deliver such missing document or cure such defect or
breach within 120 days from the date the Originator or the
Responsible Party, as applicable, was notified of such missing
document, defect or breach, and if the Originator or the
Responsible Party, as applicable, does not deliver such missing
document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects
during such period, the Trustee shall enforce the
Originator’s or the Responsible Party’s obligation
under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and cause the Originator
or the Responsible Party, as applicable, to repurchase such
Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price on or prior
to the Determination Date following the expiration of such 120 day
period (subject to Section 2.03(e)). The Purchase Price for the
repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Collection
Account, and the Trustee, upon receipt of written certification
from the Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the Originator
or the Responsible Party, 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
Responsible Party, as applicable, shall furnish to it and as shall
be necessary to vest in the Originator or the Responsible Party, as
applicable, any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and the
Trustee shall have no further responsibility with regard to such
Mortgage File (it being understood that the Trustee shall have no
responsibility for determining the sufficiency of such assignment
for its intended purpose). In lieu of repurchasing any such
Mortgage Loan as provided above, the Originator or the Responsible
Party, as applicable, may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed
from the Trust Fund (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(d). It is understood and agreed that the
obligation of the Originator or the Responsible Party, 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 against
the Originator or the Responsible Party, as applicable, respecting
such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee on behalf
of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer.
(b) Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by
the Depositor or receipt of notice by the Depositor of the breach
of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Depositor set
forth in Section 2.06 which materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer in
any Mortgage Loan, the Depositor shall cure such breach in all
material respects.
(c) Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by
the Servicer or receipt of notice by the Servicer of the breach of
any representation, warranty or covenant of the Servicer set forth
in Section 2.05 which materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer in
any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall cure such breach in all
material respects.
(d) Any substitution of Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section
2.03(a) must be effected prior to the last Business Day that is
within two years after the Closing Date. As to any Deleted Mortgage
Loan for which the Originator or the Responsible Party, as
applicable, substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Originator or the
Responsible Party, as applicable, delivering to the Trustee, for
such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage
Note, the Mortgage and 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 (as described below), if
any, in connection with such substitution. The Trustee shall
acknowledge receipt for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans and, within ten Business Days thereafter, shall review such
documents as specified in Section 2.02 and deliver to the Servicer,
the Certificate Insurer and the NIMS Insurer, with respect to such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1, with any
applicable exceptions noted thereon. Within one year of the date of
substitution, the Trustee shall deliver to the Servicer, the
Certificate Insurer and the NIMS Insurer a certification
substantially in the form of Exhibit F-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 the Trust Fund and will be retained by
the Originator or the Responsible Party, as applicable. For the
month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will
reflect the collections and recoveries in respect of such Deleted
Mortgage Loan in the Due Period preceding the month of substitution
and the Originator or the Responsible Party, as applicable, shall
thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received
in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Originator or the
Responsible Party, as applicable, shall give or cause to be given
written notice to the Certificateholders, the Certificate Insurer
and the NIMS Insurer 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
Certificate Insurer, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee. Upon such
substitution by the Originator or the Responsible Party, as
applicable, 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
as of the date of substitution.
For any month in which the Originator or the
Responsible Party, 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”), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price
of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate, as to
each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, of the principal
balance thereof as of the date of substitution, together with one
month’s interest on such principal balance at the applicable
Net Mortgage Rate. On the date of such substitution, the Originator
or the Responsible Party, 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, if any, and the
Trustee, upon receipt of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans and certification by the Servicer of such deposit,
shall release to the Originator or the Responsible Party, as
applicable, the related Mortgage File or Files and shall execute
and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each
case without recourse, as the Originator or the Responsible Party,
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 Responsible
Party, as applicable, shall obtain at its own expense and deliver
to the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and the NIMS Insurer an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not
cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund,
including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on
“prohibited transactions” under Section 860F(a)(l) of
the Code or on “contributions after the startup date”
under Section 860G(d)(l) of the Code or (b) any REMIC to fail to
qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.
If such Opinion of Counsel cannot be delivered, then such
substitution may only be effected at such time as the required
Opinion of Counsel can be given.
Upon discovery by the Originator, the Servicer,
the Certificate Insurer, the NIMS Insurer 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 Responsible Party or the
Depositor, as the case may be, shall repurchase or, subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d), 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 (i) by the Originator or the
Responsible Party, as applicable, 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 Responsible Party 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 any
representation or warranty of the Depositor set forth in Section
2.06, or if its 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),
if made by the Originator or the Responsible Party, or Section
2.03(b), if made by the Depositor. The Trustee shall reconvey to
the Depositor or the Originator or the Responsible Party, 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.

2.04. Intentionally Omitted.
SECTION
2.05. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the
Servicer.
The Servicer hereby represents, warrants and

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 and in the best interests of
and for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate
Insurer (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 and (ii) either (A)
such waiver 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 (B) such
waiver is made in connection with a refinancing of the related
Mortgage Loan unrelated to a default or a reasonably foreseeable
default where (x) the related Mortgagor has stated to the Servicer
or an applicable Sub-Servicer an intention to refinance the related
Mortgage Loan and (y) the Servicer has concluded in its reasonable
judgment that the waiver of such Prepayment Charge would induce
such mortgagor to refinance with the Servicer; provided, however,
that the Servicer shall waive no more than 5.00% of the Prepayment
Charges (by number of Prepayment Charges) set forth on the
Prepayment Charge Schedule in accordance with clause (ii)(B) above.
If a Prepayment Charge is waived as permitted by meeting the
standards described in clauses (i) and (ii)(B) above, then the
Servicer is required to pay the amount of such waived Prepayment
Charge, for the benefit of the Holders of the Class P Certificates,
by depositing such amount into the Collection Account together with
and at the time that the amount prepaid on the related Mortgage
Loan is required to be deposited into the Collection Account.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, any
payments made by the Servicer in respect of any waived Prepayment
Charges pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii)(B) above shall be deemed
to be paid outside of the Trust Fund. 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
a
