If in connection
with any Mortgage Loan which is not a Co-op Loan the Depositor
cannot deliver the Mortgage, Assignments of Mortgage, or

may be, with evidence of recording thereon concurrently with the
execution and delivery of this Agreement solely because of a delay
caused by the public recording office where such Mortgage,
Assignments of Mortgage, or assumption, consolidation or
modification agreement, as the case may be, has been delivered for
recordation, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered
to the Trustee
37
written notice stating that such Mortgage, Assignments of
Mortgage, or assumption, consolidation or modification agreement,
as the case may be, has been delivered to the appropriate public
recording office for recordation. Thereafter, the Depositor shall
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee such Mortgage,
Assignments of Mortgage, or assumption, consolidation or
modification agreement, as the case may be, with evidence of
recording indicated thereon upon receipt thereof from the public
recording office.
With respect to any Non-MERS
Mortgage Loans which are not Co-op Loans, and as to which the
related Mortgaged Property is located in Florida, the Servicer
shall cause to be recorded in the appropriate public recording
office for real property records each Assignment of Mortgage
referred to in this Section 2.01 as soon as practicable. With
respect to any Non-MERS Mortgage Loans which are not Co-op Loans as
to which the related Mortgaged Property is located outside of
Florida, the Servicer shall not be obligated to cause to be
recorded the Assignment of Mortgage referred to in this
Section 2.01. With respect to Co-op Loans as to which the
related dwelling unit is located in Florida, the Servicer shall
cause to be filed in the appropriate filing office the Form UCC-3
referred to in this Section 2.01 as soon as practicable. With
respect to any Co-op Loans as to which the related dwelling unit is
located outside Florida, the Servicer shall not be obligated to
cause to be filed the Form UCC-3 referred to in this
Section 2.01. While each such Assignment of Mortgage or Form
UCC-3 is being recorded or filed, as applicable, the Servicer shall
deliver to the Trustee a photocopy of such document. If any such
Assignment of Mortgage or Form UCC-3 is returned unrecorded or
unfiled to the Servicer because of any defect therein, the Servicer
shall cause such defect to be cured and such document to be
recorded or filed in accordance with this paragraph. The Depositor
shall deliver or cause to be delivered each such original recorded
or filed Assignment of Mortgage and intermediate assignment or Form
UCC-3 to the Trustee within 270 days of the Closing Date or
shall deliver to the Trustee on or before such date an
Officer’s Certificate stating that such document has been
delivered to the appropriate public recording or filing office for
recording or filing, but has not been returned solely because of a
delay caused by such recording or filing office. In any event, the
Depositor shall use all reasonable efforts to cause each such
document with evidence of recording or filing thereon to be
delivered to the Trustee within 300 days of the Closing
Date.
With respect to each MERS Mortgage
Loan, the Trustee, at the expense of the Depositor and at the
direction and with the cooperation of the Servicer, shall cause to
be taken such actions as are necessary to cause the Trustee to be
clearly identified as the owner of each such Mortgage Loan on the
records of MERS for purposes of the system of recording transfers
of beneficial ownership of mortgages maintained by MERS.
The ownership of each Mortgage
Note, the Mortgage and the contents of the related Mortgage File is
vested in the Trustee. Neither the Depositor nor the Servicer shall
take any action inconsistent with such ownership and shall not
claim any ownership interest therein. The Depositor and the
Servicer shall respond to any third party inquiries with respect to
ownership of the Mortgage Loans by stating that such ownership is
held by the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. Mortgage
documents relating to the Mortgage Loans not delivered to the
Trustee are and shall be held in trust by the Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee as the owner thereof,
and the Servicer’s or such Sub-Servicer’s possession of
the contents of each Mortgage File so retained is for the sole
purpose of servicing the related Mortgage Loan, and such retention
and possession by the Servicer or such Sub-Servicer is in a
custodial capacity only. The Depositor agrees to take no action
inconsistent with the Trustee’s ownership of the Mortgage
Loans, to promptly indicate to all inquiring parties that the
Mortgage Loans have been sold and to claim no ownership interest in
the Mortgage Loans. Each Mortgage File and the mortgage documents
relating to the Mortgage Loans contain proprietary business
information of the Servicer and its customers. The Trustee and the
Depositor agree that they will not use such information for
business purposes without the express written consent of the
Servicer and that all such information shall be kept strictly
confidential.
38
It is the intention of this
Agreement that the conveyance of the Depositor’s right, title
and interest in and to the Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement
shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a loan. If a
conveyance of Mortgage Loans from the Seller to the Depositor is
characterized as a pledge and not a sale, then the Depositor shall
be deemed to have transferred to the Trustee all of the
Depositor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the
obligations of the Seller deemed to be secured by said pledge; and
it is the intention of this Agreement that the Depositor shall also
be deemed to have granted to the Trustee a first priority security
interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title, and interest
in, to and under the obligations of the Seller to the Depositor
deemed to be secured by said pledge and that the Trustee shall be
deemed to be an independent custodian for purposes of perfection of
the security interest granted to the Depositor. If the conveyance
of the Mortgage Loans from the Depositor to the Trustee is
characterized as a pledge, it is the intention of this Agreement
that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under
applicable law, and that the Depositor shall be deemed to have
granted to the Trustee a first priority security interest in all of
the Depositor’s right, title and interest in, to and under
the Mortgage Loans, all payments of principal of or interest on
such Mortgage Loans, all other rights relating to and payments made
in respect of the Trust Fund, and all proceeds of any thereof. If
the trust created by this Agreement terminates prior to the
satisfaction of the claims of any Person in any Certificates, the
security interest created hereby shall continue in full force and
effect and the Trustee shall be deemed to be the collateral agent
for the benefit of such Person.
In addition to the conveyance made
in the first paragraph of this Section 2.01, the Depositor
does hereby convey, assign and set over to the Trustee all of its
right, title and interest in that portion of the Trust Fund
described in items (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) of the
definition thereof and further assigns to the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders those representations and
warranties of the Seller contained in the Sale Agreement and
described in Section 3.01 hereof and the benefit of the
repurchase obligations of the Seller described in
Sections 2.02 and 3.01 hereof and the obligations of the
Seller contained in the Sale Agreement to take, at the request of
the Depositor or the Trustee, all action on its part which is
reasonably necessary to ensure the enforceability of a Mortgage
Loan.
The parties hereto agree and
understand that it is not intended that any mortgage loan be
included in the Trust that is any of (i) a "High-Cost Home
Loan" as defined in the New Jersey Home Ownership Act effective
November 27, 2003, (ii) a "High-Cost Home Loan" as
defined in the New Mexico Home Loan Protection Act effective
January 1, 2004, (iii) a "High-Cost Home Mortgage Loan"
as defined in the Massachusetts Predatory Home Loan Practices Act
effective November 7, 2004 or (iv) a "High-Cost Home
Loan" as defined by the Indiana High Cost Home Loan Law effective
January 1, 2005.
Section 2.02 Acceptance by
Trustee . Except as set forth in the Exception Report delivered
contemporaneously herewith (the "Exception Report"), the Trustee
acknowledges receipt by the Custodian on the Trustee’s behalf
of the Mortgage Note for each Mortgage Loan and delivery of a
Mortgage File (but does not acknowledge receipt of all documents
required to be included in such Mortgage File) with respect to each
Mortgage Loan and declares that the Custodian holds and will hold
on the Trustee’s behalf such documents and any other
documents constituting a part of the Mortgage Files delivered to it
in trust for the use and benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders. The Depositor will cause the Seller to
repurchase any Mortgage Loans to which an exception was taken in
the Exception Report unless such exception is cured to the
satisfaction of the Trustee within 45 Business Days of the Closing
Date. The Trustee may accept delivery of such Mortgage Files by the
Custodian on its behalf. The Custodian will deliver a copy of the
Exception Report to the Depositor and the Trustee
The Custodian, on the
Trustee’s behalf, agrees, for the benefit of
Certificateholders, to review each Mortgage File delivered to it
within 270 days after the Closing Date to ascertain that all
documents required by Section 2.01 have been executed and
received, and that such documents relate to the
39
Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit A that have been
conveyed to it. If the Custodian on the Trustee’s behalf
finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage
File to be missing or defective (that is, mutilated, damaged,
defaced or unexecuted) in any material respect, the Custodian on
the Trustee’s behalf shall promptly (and in any event within
no more than five Business Days) after such finding so notify the
Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee and the Depositor. In addition,
the Custodian on the Trustee’s behalf shall also notify the
Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee and the Depositor, if (a) in
examining the Mortgage Files, the documentation shows on its face
(i) any adverse claim, lien or encumbrance, (ii) that any
Mortgage Note was overdue or had been dishonored, (iii) any
evidence on the face of any Mortgage Note or Mortgage of any
security interest or other right or interest therein, or
(iv) any defense against or claim to the Mortgage Note by any
party or (b) the original Mortgage with evidence of recording
thereon with respect to a Mortgage Loan is not received within
270 days of the Closing Date; provided, however, that if the
Depositor cannot deliver the original Mortgage with evidence of
recording thereon because of a delay caused by the public recording
office where such Mortgage has been delivered for recordation, the
Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian
and the Trustee written notice stating that such Mortgage has been
delivered to the appropriate public recording officer for
recordation and thereafter the Depositor shall deliver or cause to
be delivered such Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon upon
receipt thereof from the public recording office. The Depositor
shall request that the Seller correct or cure such omission, defect
or other irregularity, or substitute a Mortgage Loan pursuant to
the provisions of Section 3.03, within 60 days from the date
the Seller was notified of such omission or defect and, if the
Seller does not correct or cure such omission or defect within such
period, that the Seller purchase such Mortgage Loan from the
Trustee within 90 days from the date the Depositor notified
the Seller and the Trustee of such omission, defect or other
irregularity at the Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loan. The
Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan purchased pursuant to this
Section 2.02 shall be paid to the Servicer and deposited by
the Servicer in the Collection Account promptly upon receipt, and,
upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such deposit
signed by a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall promptly release
to the Seller the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall
execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment,
without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller or
its designee, as the case may be, any Mortgage Loan released
pursuant hereto, and the Trustee shall have no further
responsibility with regard to such Mortgage Loan. It is understood
and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to purchase, cure or
substitute any Mortgage Loan as to which a material defect in or
omission of a constituent document exists shall constitute the sole
remedy respecting such defect or omission available to the Trustee
on behalf of Certificateholders. The Trustee shall be under no duty
or obligation to inspect, review and examine such documents,
instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that they
are genuine, enforceable or appropriate to the represented purpose,
or that they have actually been recorded, or that they are other
than what they purport to be on their face. The Trustee shall keep
confidential the name of each Mortgagor and shall not solicit any
such Mortgagor for the purpose of refinancing the related Mortgage
Loan.
Within 280 days of the
Closing Date, the Trustee based solely on information provided to
it by the Custodian shall deliver to the Depositor and the Servicer
the Trustee’s Certification, substantially in the form of
Exhibit G attached hereto, setting forth the status of the
Mortgage Files as of such date.

accepts the assignment to it of the Trust Fund created pursuant to
this Agreement in trust for the use and benefit of all present and
future Certificateholders. The Trustee acknowledges the assignment
to it for the benefit of the Trust Fund of the Mortgage Loans and

instructs and authorizes the Paying Agent to make appropriate
elections to treat the Trust Fund as comprising two REMICs (the
Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC). This Agreement shall be
construed so as to carry out the intention of the parties that each
REMIC created hereunder be treated as a REMIC at all times prior to
the date on which the Trust Fund is terminated. The Closing Date is
hereby designated as the "startup day" of each REMIC created
hereunder within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the
Code. The Lower-Tier REMIC shall hold as assets all property of the
Trust Fund other than (i) the Lower-Tier REMIC Interests and

a "regular interest" (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(1) of
the Code) in the Lower-Tier REMIC. The Upper-Tier REMIC shall hold
as assets the several classes of uncertificated Lower-Tier REMIC
Regular Interests. Each of the Upper-Tier REMIC Regular Interests
is hereby designated as a "regular interest" (within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code) in the Upper-Tier REMIC. The
Class LT-R Interest is hereby designated as the sole residual
interest (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(2) of the
Code) in the Lower-Tier REMIC. The Residual Interest is hereby
designated as the sole residual interest (within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code) in the Upper-Tier REMIC. The
Class A-R Certificate evidences ownership of the
Class LT-R Interest and the Residual Interest. All interests
described in this Section 2.04(a) shall be designated as such
on the Startup Day.

|
|
ensure that federal, state or local income tax or
information returns shall be signed by the Trustee or such other

or local laws, regulations or rules; and
|
|
|
|
|

It is intended that the rights of each Class of
the Class A-1, Class A-3 and Class A-4 Certificates
to receive payments in respect of Basis Risk Shortfall Carryover
Amounts shall be treated as a right in interest rate cap contracts
and such shall be accounted for as property held separate and apart
from the regular interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC held by the
Holders of the Class A-1, Class A-3 and Class A-4
Certificates. This provision is intended to satisfy the
requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(i) for
the treatment of property rights coupled with REMIC interests to be
separately respected and shall be interpreted consistently with
such regulation.

Section 3.01
Representations and Warranties of the Depositor with respect to
the Mortgage Loans .
The Depositor hereby represents
and warrants to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders that on or before the Closing Date it has
entered into the Sale Agreement with the Seller, that the Seller
has made the following representations and warranties with respect
to each Mortgage Loan in the Sale Agreement as of the Closing Date,
which representations and warranties run to and are for the benefit
of the Depositor and the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, and as to which the Depositor has assigned to
the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, pursuant to
Section 2.01 hereof, the right to cause the Seller to
repurchase a Mortgage Loan as to which there has occurred an
uncured breach of representations and warranties in accordance with
the provisions of the Sale Agreement.
44
(a) The information set forth
in the Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete, true and correct in all
material respects;
(b) With respect to a
Mortgage Loan which is not a Co-op Loan, the Mortgage creates a
first lien or a first priority ownership interest in an estate in
fee simple in real property securing the related Mortgage Note.
With respect to a Co-op Loan, the related Mortgage is a valid,
enforceable and subsisting first security interest on the related
cooperative shares securing the related Mortgage Note, subject only
to (a) liens of the related residential cooperative housing
corporation for unpaid assessments representing the
Mortgagor’s pro rata share of the related residential
cooperative housing corporation’s payments for its blanket
mortgage, current and future real property taxes, insurance
premiums, maintenance fees and other assessments to which like
collateral is commonly subject and (b) other matters to which
like collateral is commonly subject which do not materially
interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided
by the related security agreement. There are no liens against or
security interest in the cooperative shares relating to each Co-op
Loan (except for unpaid maintenance, assessments and other amounts
owed to the related cooperative which individually or in the
aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on such Co-op
Loan), which have priority over the Trustee’s security
interest in such cooperative shares;
(c) All payments due prior to
the Cut-off Date for such Mortgage Loan have been made as of the
Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan is not delinquent in payment more
than 30 days and has not been dishonored; to the best of the
Seller’s knowledge, there are no material defaults under the
terms of the Mortgage Loan; the Seller has not advanced funds, or
induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds from
a party other than the owner of the Mortgaged Property subject to
the Mortgage (or, with respect to a Co-op Loan, the related
Mortgagor), directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount
required by the Mortgage Loan; there has been no more than one
delinquency in excess of 30 days during the preceding
twelve-month period;
(d) To the best of the
Seller’s knowledge, all taxes, governmental assessments,
insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold
payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have
been paid, or escrow funds have been established in an amount
sufficient to pay for every such escrowed item which remains unpaid
and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable;
(e) The terms of the Mortgage
Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or
modified in any respect, except by written instruments. No
Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, from the terms
thereof except in connection with an assumption agreement and which
assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File and the terms of
which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule;
(f) The Mortgage Note and the
Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off,
counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense
of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder,
render the Mortgage Note or Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in
part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim
or defense, including the defense of usury, and no such right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with
respect thereto, and the Mortgagor was not a debtor in any state or
federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the
Mortgage Loan was originated;
(g) With respect to a
Mortgage Loan which is not a Co-op Loan, all buildings or other
customarily insured improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are
insured by an insurer acceptable under the FNMA Guides against loss
by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are
provided for in the FNMA Guides or by FHLMC. All such standard
hazard policies are in full force and
45
effect and on the date of origination contained a standard
mortgagee clause naming the Seller and its successors in interest
and assigns as loss payee and such clause is still in effect and
all premiums due thereon have been paid. If required by the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Mortgaged Property
is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of
the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration
which policy conforms to FNMA and FHLMC requirements. The Mortgage
obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance
at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the
Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the
Mortgage to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost
and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the
Mortgagor;
(h) Any and all requirements
of any federal, state or local laws and all applicable predatory
and abusive lending laws, including, without limitation, usury,
truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer
credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws
applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied with in all
material respects;
(i) The Mortgage has not been
satisfied, canceled or subordinated, in whole or in part, or
rescinded, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from
the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part nor has any
instrument been executed that would effect any such release,
cancellation, subordination or rescission;
(j) With respect to a
Mortgage Loan which is not a Co-op Loan, the Mortgage is a valid,
subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien on the Mortgaged
Property, including, all buildings on the Mortgaged Property. The
Mortgage and the Mortgage Note do not contain any evidence of any
security interest or other interest or right thereto. Such lien is
free and clear of all adverse claims, liens and encumbrances having
priority over the first lien of the Mortgage subject only to
(1) the lien of non-delinquent current real property taxes and
assessments not yet due and payable, (2) covenants, conditions
and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the
public record as of the date of recording which are acceptable to
mortgage lending institutions generally and either (A) which
are referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for
the originator of the Mortgage Loan, or (B) which do not
adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property as
set forth in such appraisal, and (3) other matters to which
like properties are commonly subject which do not materially
interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided
by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of
the related Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement, chattel
mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in
connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid,
subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien and first priority
security interest on the property described therein, and the
Depositor has the full right to sell and assign the same to the
Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders;
(k) The Mortgage Note and the
related Mortgage are original and genuine and each is the legal,
valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in
all respects in accordance with its terms subject to bankruptcy,
insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the
rights of creditors and the Depositor has taken all action
necessary to transfer such rights of enforceability to the Trustee
for the benefit of the Certificateholders. All parties to the
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had the legal capacity to enter into
the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and
the Mortgage. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and
property executed by such parties. The proceeds of the Mortgage
Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for
future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements as to
completion of any on-site or off-site improvements and as to
disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied
with;
(l) The Seller is the sole
owner and holder of the Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness
evidenced by the Mortgage Note, except for the Assignments of
Mortgage which have been sent for
46
recording, and upon recordation the Seller will be the owner of
record of the Mortgage and the indebtedness evidenced by the
Mortgage Note, and upon the sale of the Mortgage Loan to the Trust
for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Seller will retain
the Mortgage File or any part thereof with respect thereto not
delivered to the Trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders or
its designee in trust only for the purpose of servicing and
supervising the servicing of the Mortgage Loan. Immediately prior
to the transfer and assignment to the Trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, the Mortgage Loan, including the Mortgage Note
and the Mortgage, were not subject to an assignment or pledge, and
the Depositor had good and marketable title to and was the sole
owner thereof and had full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage
Loan to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders free
and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim
or security interest and has the full right and authority subject
to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other
party, to sell and assign the Mortgage Loan pursuant to this
Agreement and following the sale of the Mortgage Loan, the Trustee
for the benefit of the Certificateholders will own such Mortgage
Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation
interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest;
(m) With respect to a
Mortgage Loan which is not a Co-op Loan, the Mortgage Loan is
covered by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy or other
generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to FNMA
or FHLMC, issued by a title insurer acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC and
qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged
Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained
in (j) (1), (2) and (3) above) the Seller, its successors
and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the
original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan. Such lender’s
title insurance policy insures ingress and egress by or upon the
Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. Where required by state
law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to
choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. The
Seller, its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of such
lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s
title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in
full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such
lender’s title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the
related Mortgage, including the Seller, has done, by act or
omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such
lender’s title insurance policy;
(n) There is no default,
breach, violation or event of acceleration existent, under the
Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no event which, with the
passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or
cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event
permitting acceleration; and neither the Seller nor any prior
mortgagee has waived any default, breach, violation or event
permitting acceleration;
(o) There are no
mechanics’, or similar liens or claims which have been filed
for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that
under law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related
Mortgaged Property (or the related residential dwelling unit in the
Underlying Mortgage Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan) which
are or may be liens prior to or equal to the lien of the related
Mortgage;
(p) With respect to a
Mortgage Loan which is not a Co-op Loan, all improvements subject
to the Mortgage which were considered in determining the Appraised
Value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries
and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property (and
wholly within the project with respect to a condominium unit) and
no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged
Property except those which are insured against by the title
insurance policy referred to in clause (m) above and all
improvements on the property comply with all applicable zoning and
subdivision laws and ordinances; the Mortgaged Property is lawfully
occupied under applicable law;
(q) The Mortgage Loan
complies in all material respects with all the terms, conditions
and requirements of the Seller’s underwriting standards in
effect at the time of origination of such Mortgage
47
Loan. The Mortgage Notes and Mortgages (exclusive of any riders)
are on forms generally acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC. Monthly
Payments under the Mortgage Note are due and payable on the first
day of each month. The Mortgage contains the usual and enforceable
provisions of the originator at the time of origination for the
acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal amount of the
Mortgage Loan if the related Mortgaged Property is sold without the
prior consent of the mortgagee thereunder;
(r) The Mortgaged Property
(or Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan), is
not subject to any material damage by waste, fire, earthquake,
windstorm, flood or other casualty. To the best of the
Seller’s knowledge, at origination of the Mortgage Loan there
was, and there currently is, no proceeding pending for the total or
partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property (or Underlying
Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan);
(s) The related Mortgage
contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the
rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the
realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the
security provided thereby, including, (l) in the case of a
Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale,
and (2) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. There is no
homestead or other exemption available to the Mortgagor which would
interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a
trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage subject
to applicable federal and state laws and judicial precedent with
respect to bankruptcy and right of redemption or similar law;
(t) If the Mortgage
constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, authorized and duly
qualified if required under applicable law to act as such, has been
properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the
Mortgage, and no fees or expenses, except as may be required by
local law, are or will become payable by the Purchaser to the
trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a
trustee’s sale or attempted sale after default by the
Mortgagor;
(u) The Mortgage File
contains an appraisal or a recertification document (in the case of
a Mortgage Loan originated under CHF’s Streamlined Refinance
Program) of the related Mortgaged Property (or the related
residential dwelling unit in the Underlying Mortgaged Property, in
the case of a Co-op Loan), signed prior to the final approval of
the mortgage loan application by an appraiser approved by the
Seller who had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged
Property (or Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op
Loan), or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose
compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the
Mortgage Loan. The appraisal is in a form acceptable to FNMA or
FHLMC;
(v) All parties which have
had any interest in the Mortgage, whether as mortgagee, assignee,
pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held
and disposed of such interest, were) (A) in substantial
compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of
the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property (or Underlying
Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan), is located, and
(B) (1) organized under the laws of such state, or
(2) qualified to do business in such state, or
(3) federal savings and loan associations or national banks or
a Federal Home Loan Bank or savings bank having principal offices
in such state, or (4) not doing business in such state;
(w) The related Mortgage Note
is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the lien
of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any
applicable security interest of any applicable agreement or chattel
mortgage referred to above and such collateral does not serve as
security for any other obligation;
(x) The Mortgagor has
received all disclosure materials required by applicable law with
respect to the making of such mortgage loans;
48
(y) The Mortgage Loan does
not contain "graduated payment" features;
(z) The Mortgagor is not in
bankruptcy and, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, the
Mortgagor is not insolvent;
(aa) The Mortgage Loans are
fixed rate mortgage loans. Each Mortgage Loan has an original term
to maturity of not more than thirty (30) years with interest
payable in arrears on the first day of each month. No Mortgage Loan
contains terms or provisions which would result in negative
amortization;
(bb) Each Mortgage Note, each
Mortgage, each Assignment of Mortgage and any other documents
required pursuant to this Agreement to be delivered to the Trustee
on behalf of the Certificateholders or its designee, or its
assignee for each Mortgage Loan, have been, on or before the
Closing Date, delivered to the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders or its designee, or its assignee;
(cc) All escrow payments have
been collected in full compliance with state and federal law and
the provisions of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage. As to any
Mortgage Loan that is the subject of an escrow, escrow of funds is
not prohibited by applicable law and has been established in an
amount sufficient to pay for every escrowed item that remains
unpaid and has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. No
escrow deposits or other charges or payments due under the Mortgage
Note have been capitalized under any Mortgage or the related
Mortgage Note. Any interest required to be paid pursuant to state,
federal and local law has been properly paid and credited;
(dd) [Reserved];
(ee) In the event that at
origination the Mortgage Loan has a Loan-to-Value Ratio greater
than 80%, the excess of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan
over 75% of the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property, with
respect to a refinanced Mortgage Loan, or the lesser of the
Appraised Value or the purchase price of the Mortgaged Property (or
Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan), with
respect to a purchase money Mortgage Loan, is and will be insured
as to payment defaults by a Primary Insurance Policy issued by a
Qualified Insurer, except where the primary mortgage insurance was
(i) impermissible at origination at applicable law, in which
case such Mortgage Loan was originated in accordance with
applicable law, (ii) cancelled at the request of the Mortgagor
pursuant to the cancellation requirements of FNMA, FHLMC, state law
or, as applicable the Home Owner and Equity Protection Act of 1994,
as amended, or (iii) automatically terminated in accordance
with the termination requirements of FNMA, FHLMC, state law or, as
applicable the Home Owner and Equity Protection Act of 1994, as
amended. All provisions of such Primary Insurance Policy have been
and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and
effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. No action,
inaction, or event has occurred and no state of facts exists that
has, or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to
coverage. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a Primary Insurance Policy
obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the Primary
Insurance Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in connection
therewith. The Mortgage Rate for the Mortgage Loan as set forth on
the Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance
premium;
(ff) The Assignment of
Mortgage is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording (or,
in the case of a Co-op Loan, is in a form acceptable for filing)
under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property
(or underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan) is
located;
(gg) As to Mortgage Loans
that are not secured by an interest in a leasehold estate, the
Mortgaged Property (or Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case
of a Co-op Loan), is located in the state identified in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of a single parcel of real
property with a detached single family residence erected thereon,
or a two-to four-family dwelling, or an individual
49
condominium unit in a condominium project, or a dwelling unit in
a residential cooperative housing corporation or an individual unit
in an attached planned unit development or a detached planned unit
development, provided, however, that no residence or dwelling is a
single parcel of real property with a mobile home thereon. As of
the date of origination, no portion of the Mortgaged Property (or
Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan), was
used for commercial purposes, and since the date of origination, to
the best of the Seller’s knowledge, no portion of the
Mortgaged Property (or Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case
of a Co-op Loan), is used for commercial purposes;
(hh) If the Mortgaged
Property is a condominium unit or a planned unit development (other
than a de minimis planned unit development), as of the date of
origination of the related Mortgage Loan, such condominium or
planned unit development project met the Seller’s eligibility
requirements, as set forth in the Seller’s underwriting
guidelines as of such date; in the case of each Co-op Loan, the
related residential cooperative housing corporation complied in all
material respects with the Seller’s requirements as set forth
in the Seller’s underwriting guidelines as of such date;
(ii) To the best of the
Seller’s knowledge, there is no pending action or proceeding
directly involving the Mortgaged Property (or Underlying Mortgaged
Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan), in which compliance with
any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue;
(jj) As of the Cut-off Date,
the Seller has not granted any interest rate relief to the
Mortgagor under the Relief Act;
(kk) No Mortgage Loan was
made in connection with the construction or rehabilitation of a
Mortgaged Property (or Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case
of a Co-op Loan), or facilitating the trade-in or exchange of a
Mortgaged Property (or Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case
of a Co-op Loan);
(ll) No action has been taken
or failed to be taken by Depositor, on or prior to the Closing
Date, which has resulted or will result in an exclusion from,
denial of, or defense to coverage under any Primary Insurance
Policy (including, without limitation, any exclusions, denials or
defenses which would limit or reduce the availability of the timely
payment of the full amount of the loss otherwise due thereunder to
the insured) whether arising out of actions, representations,
errors, omissions, negligence, or fraud of the Depositor, or for
any other reason under such coverage;
(mm) The Mortgage Loan was
originated by a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and
Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the
National Housing Act, as amended, a savings and loan association, a
savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or
similar institution which is supervised and examined by a federal
or state authority;
(nn) Principal payments on
the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty (60) days after
funds were disbursed in connection with the Mortgage Loan. The
Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month in equal
monthly installments of principal and interest, with interest
calculated and payable in arrears, sufficient to amortize the
Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity date, over an original
term of not more than thirty years from commencement of
amortization;
(oo) As of the Closing Date,
the Mortgage Loan is a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (without regard to Treasury
Regulations §1.860G-2(f) or any similar rule that provides
that a defective obligation is a qualified mortgage for a temporary
period);
50
(pp) With respect to a
Mortgage Loan that is a Co-op Loan, the stock that is pledged as
security for the Mortgage Loan is held by a Person as a
tenant-stockholder (as defined in Section 216 of the Code) in a
cooperative housing corporation (as defined in Section 216 of
the Code);
(qq) As of the Closing Date,
the Mortgage Loan is not the subject of pending or final
foreclosure proceedings and the Seller would not, based on the
delinquency status of the Mortgage Loan, institute foreclosure
proceedings with respect to the Mortgage Loan prior to the next
scheduled payment for the Mortgage Loan;
(rr) As of the Closing Date,
the Mortgage Loan does not provide for interest other than at
either (i) a single fixed rate in effect throughout the term
of the Mortgage Loan or (ii) a "variable rate" (within the
meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(3)) in
effect throughout the term of the Mortgage Loan;
(ss) No Mortgage Loan is a
"covered loan" within the meaning of the Georgia Fair Lending Act
of 2002, as amended;
(tt) None of the Mortgage
Loans are (a) covered by the Home Ownership and Equity
Protection Act of 1994 or (b) classified as a "high cost" loan
or similarly classified using different terminology under any
federal, state or local law imposing heightened regulatory scrutiny
or additional legal liability for residential mortgage loans having
high interest rates, points and/or fees such as predatory lending
laws; None of the Mortgage Loans are "high cost" loans as defined
by the applicable federal, state or local predatory and abusive
lending laws nor is any Mortgage Loan a "High Cost Loan" or
"Covered Loan," as applicable (as such terms are defined in the
current Standard & Poor’s LEVELS ® Glossary which is now
version 5.6 revised, appendix E) and no Mortgage Loan originated on
or after October 1, 2002 through March 6, 2003 is
governed by the Georgia Fair Lending Act of 2002, as amended;

estates is marketable in the area where the related Mortgaged

Upon discovery by any of the
Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the
foregoing representations and warranties which materially and
adversely affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or the interest of
the Certificateholders (or which materially and adversely affects
the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage
Loan in the case of a representation and warranty relating to a
particular Mortgage Loan), the party discovering such breach shall
give prompt written notice to the other parties and to the Seller,
which notice shall specify the date of discovery. Pursuant to the
Sale Agreement, the Seller shall within 90 days from the
earlier of (i) the date of receipt of notice of such breach or
(ii) the date the Seller otherwise discovers such breach, cure
such breach, substitute a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the provisions
of Section 3.03 or, if the breach relates to a particular
Mortgage Loan, purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee at the
Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for the purchased Mortgage Loan
shall be paid to the Servicer and shall be deposited by the
Servicer in the Collection Account promptly upon receipt, and, upon
receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such deposit
signed by a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall promptly release
to the Seller the related Mortgage File, and the Trustee shall
execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment as
may be provided to it by the Servicer, without recourse, as shall
be necessary to vest in the Seller or its
51
designee, as the case may be, any Mortgage Loan released
pursuant hereto, and the Trustee shall have no further
responsibility with regard to such Mortgage Loan. It is understood
and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure, substitute or
purchase any Mortgage Loan as to which such a breach has occurred
shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available
to Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of
Certificateholder.
Section 3.02
Representations and Warranties of the Servicer . The
Servicer represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the
Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders that as of the
Closing Date:
(a) The Servicer is a limited
liability company duly chartered and validly existing in good
standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and the Servicer
is duly qualified or registered as a foreign corporation in good
standing in each jurisdiction in which the ownership or lease or
its properties or the conduct of its business requires such
qualification;
(b) The execution and
delivery of this Agreement by the Servicer and its performance and
compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not violate the
Servicer’s certificate of formation or by-laws or constitute
a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or
both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach
of, any material contract, agreement or other instrument to which
the Servicer is a party or which may be applicable to the Servicer
or any of its assets;
(c) This Agreement, assuming
due authorization, execution and delivery by the Trustee and the
Depositor, constitutes a valid, legal and binding obligation of the
Servicer, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms
hereof subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement
of creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of
equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law;
(d) The Servicer is not in
default with respect to any order or decree of any court or any
order, regulation or demand of any federal, state, municipal or
governmental agency, which default might have consequences that
would materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or
other) or operations of the Servicer or its properties or might
have consequences that would affect its performance hereunder;
and
(e) No litigation is pending
or, to the best of the Servicer’s knowledge, threatened
against the Servicer which would prohibit its entering into this
Agreement or performing its obligations under this Agreement. It is
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set
forth in this Section 3.02 shall survive the issuance and
delivery of the Certificates and shall be continuing as long as any
Certificate shall be outstanding or this Agreement has been
terminated.
Section 3.03 Option to
Substitute . If the Seller is required to repurchase any
Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02 or 3.01, the Seller
may, at its option, within two years from the Closing Date, remove
such defective Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and
substitute another mortgage loan for such defective Mortgage Loan,
in lieu of repurchasing such defective Mortgage Loan. Any
substitute Mortgage Loan shall (a) have a Principal Balance at
the time of substitution not in excess of the Principal Balance of
the removed Mortgage Loan (the amount of any difference, plus one
month’s interest thereon at the Mortgage Rate borne by the
removed Mortgage Loan, being paid by the Seller and deemed to be a
Principal Prepayment to be deposited by the Servicer in the
Collection Account), (b) have a Mortgage Rate not less than,
and not more than one percentage point greater than, the Mortgage
Rate of the removed Mortgage Loan (provided, however, that if the
Mortgage Rate on the substitute Mortgage Loan exceeds the Mortgage
Rate on the removed Mortgage Loan, the amount of that excess
interest (the
52
"Substitute Excess Interest")
shall be payable to the Class A-R Certificate), (c) have
a remaining term to stated maturity not later than, and not more
than one year less than, the remaining term to stated maturity of
the removed Mortgage Loan, (d) be, in the reasonable
determination of the Servicer, of the same type, quality and
character (including location of the Mortgaged Property (or
underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan)) as the
removed Mortgage Loan as if the breach had not occurred,
(e) have a Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination no greater than
that of the removed Mortgage Loan and (f) be, in the
reasonable determination of the Seller, in material compliance with
the representations and warranties contained in the Sale Agreement
and described in Section 3.01, as of the date of
substitution.
The Seller shall amend the
Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of the removed
Mortgage Loan from this Agreement and the substitution of such
substitute Mortgage Loan therefor and shall send a copy of such
amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Servicer and the Trustee. The
Sale Agreements provide that upon such amendment the Seller shall
be deemed to have made as to such substitute Mortgage Loan the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.01 as of
the date of such substitution, which shall be continuing as long as
any Certificate shall be outstanding or this Agreement has not been
terminated, and the remedies for breach of any such representation
or warranty shall be as set forth in Section 3.01. Upon such
amendment, the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall review the
Mortgage File delivered to it relating to the substitute Mortgage
Loan, within the time and in the manner and with the remedies
specified in Section 2.02, except that for purposes of this
Section 3.03 (other than the two-year period specified in the
first sentence of this Section), such time shall be measured from
the date of the applicable substitution. In the event of such a
substitution, accrued interest on the substitute Mortgage Loan for
the month in which the substitution occurs and any Principal
Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of
the Trust Fund, and accrued interest for such month on the Mortgage
Loan for which the substitution is made and any Principal
Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of
the Seller. The principal payment on a substitute Mortgage Loan due
on the Due Date in the month of substitution shall be the property
of the Seller, and the principal payment on the Mortgage Loan for
which the substitution is made due on such date shall be the
property of the Trust Fund.

Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon
information furnished by the Depository with respect to its
Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository

Agreement. The Original Certificate Principal Balance or notional
amount of each such Class of Certificates will be zero.
|
The Certificates
shall be signed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the
Depositor by an officer of the Depositor. Certificates bearing the
manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were
55
at the time of signature officers of the Depositor shall bind
the Depositor, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them
have ceased to be an officer prior to the authentication and
delivery of such Certificate or did not hold such offices at the
date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any
benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless
there appears on such Certificate a manual authentication by an
officer of the Trustee (or if an Authenticating Agent has been
appointed pursuant to Section 4.06, the Authenticating Agent)
and such authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive
evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been
duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall
be dated the date of their authentication.
Section 4.02 Registration
of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates .
(a) The Trustee or, if a
Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying
Agent, shall cause to be kept a certificate register (the
"Certificate Register") in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent
has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, shall
provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and
exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
(b) Upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency
of the Trustee, or if a Paying Agent has been appointed hereunder
pursuant to Section 4.05, the Paying Agent maintained for such
purpose, the Depositor shall execute and the Trustee or if an
Authenticating Agent is appointed under Section 4.06, the
Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of
the designated transferee or transferees, a Certificate of a like
Class and aggregate Percentage Interest and dated the date of
authentication by the Authenticating Agent.
(c) No transfer of a
Class B-3, Class B-4 or Class B-5 Certificate shall
be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective
registration statement or otherwise in accordance with the
requirements under the Securities Act. If such a transfer is to be
made in reliance upon an exemption from said Act, (i) the
Depositor may require (except with respect to the initial transfer
of a Class B-3, Class B-4 or Class B-5 Certificate
from J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and except if the transferee
executes a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H
hereto) a written opinion of independent counsel acceptable to and
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and
the Trustee that such transfer may be made pursuant to an
exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis
therefor, from said Act and laws or is being made pursuant to said
Act and laws, which opinion of counsel shall not be an expense of
the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor or the Servicer, and
(ii) the Depositor shall require the transferee to execute a
certification substantially in the form of Exhibit H or
Exhibit I.
(d) (i) No transfer of
an ERISA Restricted Certificate or a Class A-R Certificate
shall be made unless the prospective transferee provides the
Depositor and the Trustee with (I) a representation as set
forth in Exhibit K for Class A-R Certificates or in
Exhibit M for ERISA Restricted Certificates to the effect that
such transferee is not an employee benefit plan subject to Title I
of ERISA, a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan
or arrangement subject to any provisions under any federal, state,
local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are substantively
similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code ("Similar
Law") (collectively, a "Plan"), and is not directly or indirectly
acquiring the Certificate for, on behalf of or with any assets of
any such Plan, or (II) solely in the case of an ERISA
Restricted Certificate, (A) if the Certificate has been the
subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, a representation as
set forth in Exhibit M that such transferee is an insurance
company that is acquiring the ERISA-Restricted Certificate with
assets contained in an "insurance company general account," as
defined in Section V(E) of Prohibited Transaction
Class Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60, and the acquisition and
holding of the Certificate are covered and exempt under
Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60, or (B) solely in the
case of a Definitive Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the
56
Depositor and the Trustee to the effect that the acquisition and
holding of such Certificate will not constitute or result in a
nonexempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Code, or a
violation of Similar Law, and will not subject the Depositor, the
Servicer or the Trustee to any obligation in addition to those
expressly undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Servicer or the
Trustee.
(ii) Except
in the case of a Definitive Certificate, the representations set
forth in paragraph (i) of this Subsection 4.02(d), other than
subparagraph (i)(II)(B), shall be deemed to have been made to the
Depositor and the Trustee by the transferee’s acceptance of
an ERISA Restricted Certificate or a Class A-R Certificate (or
the acceptance by a Certificate Owner of the beneficial interest in
any Class of ERISA Restricted Certificates or a Class A-R
Certificate). Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the
contrary, any purported transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate
or a Class A-R Certificate to or on behalf of a Plan without
the delivery to the Depositor of a representation or an Opinion of
Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Trustee as
described above shall be void and of no effect. None of the
Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee shall be under any liability
to any Person for any registration or transfer of any ERISA
Restricted Certificate or Class A-R Certificate that is in
fact not permitted by this Section 4.02(d) nor shall the
Paying Agent be under any liability for making any payments due on
such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action
with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement
so long as the transfer was registered in accordance with the
foregoing requirements. The Depositor, Servicer, Paying Agent
and/or Trustee shall be entitled, but not obligated, to recover
from any Holder of any ERISA Restricted Certificate or
Class A-R Certificate that was in fact a Plan and that held
such Certificate in violation of this Section 4.02(d) all payments
made on such ERISA Restricted Certificate or Class A-R
Certificate at and after the time it commenced such holding. Any
such payments so recovered shall be paid and delivered to the last
preceding Holder of such Certificate that is not a Plan.
(e) At the option of a
Certificateholder, a Certificate may be exchanged for another
Certificate or Certificates of authorized denominations of a like
Class, upon surrender of the Certificate to be exchanged at any
office or agency of the Trustee, or if a Paying Agent has been
appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, maintained for
such purpose. Whenever the Certificate is so surrendered for
exchange, the Depositor shall execute and the Authenticating Agent
shall authenticate and deliver, the Certificate which the
Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every
Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall
(if so required by the Authenticating Agent) be duly endorsed by,
or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form
satisfactory to the Authenticating Agent duly executed by, the
Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
(f) No service charge shall
be made to the Holder for any transfer or exchange of a
Certificate, but the Servicer may require payment by the
Certificateholders of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of such Certificate.
(g) All Certificates
surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be destroyed by the
Trustee or if a Paying Agent has been appointed under
Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, in accordance with the
Trustee’s or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under
Section 4.05, the Paying Agent’s, standard
procedures.
(h) [Reserved].
(i) A Disqualified
Organization is prohibited from acquiring beneficial ownership of a
Class A-R Certificate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, (i) unless and until the Servicer and the
Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel, satisfactory to
it in form and
57
substance, to the effect that the absence of the conditions
contained in this Section 4.02(i) would not result in the
imposition of federal tax upon any REMIC created hereunder or cause
any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC, no
transfer, sale or other disposition of the Class A-R
Certificate (including for purposes of this section any beneficial
interest therein) may be made without the express written consent
of the Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar is
appointed, the Trustee, which consent is to be granted by the
Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar is appointed,
the Trustee only upon compliance with the requirements of this
Section and (ii) no transfer, sale or other disposition of the
Class A-R Certificate (or any beneficial interest therein) may
be made to a Person who is not a U.S. Person unless such Person
furnishes the transferor, the Certificate Registrar and the
Trustee, with a duly completed and effective Form W-8ECI (or any
successor thereto) or an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
transfer is in accordance with the requirements of the Code and
that the transfer will not be disregarded for federal income tax
purposes. As a condition to granting its consent to a transfer of a
Class A-R Certificate, the Certificate Registrar or, if no
Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee, shall require the
proposed transferee of such Certificate (including, in the case of
the initial issuance of the Class A-R Certificate, the initial
Holder thereof) to execute a letter and affidavit substantially in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit K and shall require the
proposed transferor (other than in the case of the transfer to the
initial Holder) of such Certificate to execute a letter
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K-1. In
the absence of a contrary instruction from the transferor of such
Certificate, declaration (11) in the affidavit in
Exhibit K may be left blank. If the transferor requests by
written notice to the Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate
Registrar is appointed, the Trustee, prior to the date of the
proposed transfer that one of the two other forms of declaration
(11) of such affidavit be used, then the Certificate Registrar
or, if no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee, shall
require that such form of declaration (11) be included in such
affidavit.
As a condition to the granting of
the consent referred to in this Section 4.02(i), prior to the
transfer, sale, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the
Class A-R Certificate or any interest therein, the Certificate
Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee
shall require that (1) the proposed transferee deliver to the
Trustee or Certificate Registrar, as applicable, its taxpayer
identification number and state, under penalties of perjury that
such number is the social security or employer identification
number, as the case may be, of the transferee or provide an
affidavit under penalties of perjury stating that as of the date of
such transfer such transferee is not and has no intention of
becoming a Disqualified Organization; (2) the proposed
transferee deliver to the Trustee or Certificate Registrar, as
applicable, an affidavit stating (i) that such transferee is
not acquiring such Class A-R Certificate as an agent, broker,
nominee, or middleman for a Disqualified Organization, (ii) if
the Class A-R Certificate is a "non-economic residual
interest" within the meaning of Treas. Reg. §1.860E-1(c)(2),
(X) that no purpose of the acquisition of the Class A-R
Certificate is to avoid or impede the assessment or collection of
tax, (Y) that such transferee has historically paid its debts
as they came due and will continue to pay its debts as they come
due, and (Z) that such transferee represents that it
understands that, as the holder of the non-economic residual
interest, the transferee may incur tax liabilities in excess of any
cash flows generated by the interest and that the transferee
intends to pay taxes associated with holding the residual interest,
and (iii) unless the Certificate Registrar or, if no
Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee consents to the
transfer of the Class A-R Certificate to a Person who is not a
U.S. Person and who has furnished either a duly completed and
effective Form W-8ECI (or any successor thereto) or an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that the transfer will not be disregarded for
federal income tax purposes, that it is a U.S. Person; (3) if
so requested by the transferor in written notice provided to the
Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar is appointed,
the Trustee, prior to the date of the proposed transfer, the
proposed transferee deliver to the Trustee or Certificate
Registrar, as applicable, an affidavit that includes a declaration
made in the form of declaration (11) in the affidavit set
forth in Exhibit K requested by the transferor; and
(4) the transferor deliver to the Certificate Registrar or, if
no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee a written
certification that as of the date of such transfer it has no
knowledge and no reason to know that the affirmations described in
clauses (1), (2) and (3) were false. The Certificate
58
Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the
Trustee shall not grant the consent referred to in this
Section 4.02(i) if it has actual knowledge that any statement
made in the affidavit issued pursuant to the preceding sentence is
not true. Notwithstanding any purported transfer, sale or other
disposition of the Class A-R Certificate to a Disqualified
Organization or in violation of the provisions of this
Section 4.02(i), such transfer, sale or other disposition
shall be deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and
such Disqualified Organization shall not be deemed to be a
Class A-R Certificateholder for any purpose hereunder,
including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions on such
Class A-R Certificate. If any purported transfer shall be in
violation of the provisions of this Section 4.02(i) then the
prior Holder of the Class A-R Certificate shall, upon
discovery that the transfer of such Class A-R Certificate was
not in fact permitted by this Section 4.02(i), be restored to
all rights and obligations as a Holder thereof retroactive to the
date of the purported transfer of such Class A-R Certificate.
The Trustee, the Servicer and the Certificate Registrar shall be
under no liability to any Person for any registration or transfer
of a Class A-R Certificate that is not permitted by this
Section 4.02(i) or for making payments due on such Class A-R
Certificate to the purported Holder thereof or taking any other
action with respect to such purported Holder under the provisions
of this Agreement so long as the transfer was not registered under
the written certification of the Certificate Registrar or, if no
Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee as described in
this Section 4.02(i). The prior Holder shall be entitled to
recover from any purported Holder of a Class A-R Certificate
that was in fact not a permitted purported transferee under this
Section 4.02(i) at the time it became a purported Holder all
payments made to such purported Holder on such Class A-R
Certificate; provided that the Servicer shall not be responsible
for such recovery. Each Class A-R Certificateholder, by the
acceptance of the Class A-R Certificate, shall be deemed for
all purposes to have consented to the provisions of this
Section 4.02(i) and to any amendment to this Agreement deemed
necessary by counsel of the Trustee or the Servicer to ensure that
the Class A-R Certificate is not transferred to a Disqualified
Organization and that any transfer of such Class A-R
Certificate will not cause the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC
created hereunder or cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to
qualify as a REMIC. The restrictions on transfer of the
Class A-R Certificate will cease to apply and be void upon
receipt by the Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate
Registrar is appointed, the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that such restrictions on transfer are no longer necessary
to avoid the risk of material federal taxation to any REMIC created
hereunder or prevent any REMIC created hereunder from qualifying as
a REMIC.
(j) The Servicer shall make
available upon written request to each Holder and each proposed
transferee of a Class B-3, Class B-4 or Class B-5
Certificate such information as may be required to permit the
proposed transfer to be effected pursuant to Rule 144A under
the Securities Act.
Section 4.03 Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates . If (a) any
mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee or, if a Paying
Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, or
the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under
Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, receives evidence to its
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate,
and (b) there is delivered to the Trustee or, if a Paying
Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent,
such security or indemnity as may be required by it to save it
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee or, if a
Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying
Agent, that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed
under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, shall authenticate and
deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like
tenor and Class. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under
this Section, the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed
under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, may require of the
Certificateholder the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation
thereto and any other expenses connected therewith. Any replacement
Certificate of any Class issued pursuant to this Section shall
constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership of the
Percentage Interest in the distributions to which the
Certificateholders of such Class are entitled, as if originally
issued, whether or
59
not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate shall
be found at any time, and such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate shall be of no force or effect under this Agreement, to
the extent permitted by law.
Section 4.04 Persons
Deemed Owners . Prior to due presentation of a Certificate of
any Class for registration of transfer, the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Paying Agent and the Trustee may treat the Person in
whose name any Certificate is registered on the Record Date as the
owner of such Certificate and the Percentage Interest in the
distributions to which the Certificateholders of such Class are
entitled on the relevant date as the Holder of such Certificate and
the Percentage Interest represented by such Certificate for the
purpose of receiving remittances pursuant to Section 6.01 and
for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Paying Agent nor the Trustee shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.
Section 4.05 Appointment
of Paying Agent and Certificate Registrar; Certificate Account
. The Trustee shall appoint a Paying Agent and a Certificate
Registrar (the "Certificate Registrar") hereunder, provided such
Paying Agent and such Certificate Registrar shall not be the
Depositor, any Seller, or an Affiliate of the Depositor or any
Seller. No later than two Business Days prior to each Distribution
Date, the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the
Paying Agent from funds on deposit in the Collection Account a sum
up to the Available Distribution Amount, such sum to be held in
trust for the benefit of Certificateholders in a segregated account
(the "Certificate Account") which shall be an Eligible Account in
the name of "The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee,
in trust for and for the benefit of the Certificateholders of
Multi-Class Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Chase Mortgage
Finance Corporation, Series 2007-S1 — Certificate
Account". The Paying Agent shall establish such Certificate Account
with a commercial bank, a savings bank or a savings and loan
association. The Paying Agent may invest moneys in the Certificate
Account in Eligible Investments, which shall mature not later than
a date sufficient to make payment on the Distribution Date next
following the date of such investment and shall not be sold or
disposed of prior to maturity. All income and gain realized from
any such investment shall be for the benefit of the Paying Agent as
additional compensation and shall be subject to its withdrawal or
order from time to time. The amount of any losses incurred in
respect of any such investments (to the extent not offset by income
from other such investments) shall be deposited in the Certificate
Account by the Paying Agent out of its own funds immediately as
realized. The Servicer shall cause the Paying Agent to perform each
of the obligations of the Paying Agent set forth herein and shall
be liable to the Trustee and the Certificateholders for failure of
the Paying Agent to perform such obligations. So long as the Paying
Agent is a party other than the Trustee, the Trustee shall have no
liability in connection with the performance or failure of
performance of the Paying Agent. The Trustee designates The Bank of
New York Trust Company, N.A. as the initial Paying Agent and
initial Certificate Registrar. Only the Trustee may remove the
Paying Agent and Certificate Registrar and may do so at will,
provided that the Trustee gives 20 days’ prior written
notice of such removal to the Paying Agent and Certificate
Registrar and the Rating Agencies.
The Paying Agent will hold all
sums held by it for the payment to Certificateholders in trust for
the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such
sums shall be paid to such Certificateholders.
Section 4.06
Authenticating Agents .
(a) The Trustee may appoint
one or more Authenticating Agents (each, an "Authenticating Agent")
which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee in
authenticating the Certificates. Wherever reference is made in this
Agreement to the authentication of Certificates by the Trustee or
the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference
shall be deemed to include authentication on behalf of the Trustee
by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication
executed on behalf of the
60
Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent
must be an entity organized and doing business under the laws of
the United States of America or of any state, having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000, authorized under such
laws to do a trust business and subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authorities. So long as the
Authenticating Agent is a party other than the Trustee, the Trustee
shall have no liability in connection with the performance or
failure of performance of the Authenticating Agent. The Trustee
hereby appoints the Paying Agent as the initial Authenticating
Agent.
(b) Any Person into which any
Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it
may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent shall
be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency
business of any Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be the
Authenticating Agent without the execution or filing of any paper
or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating
Agent.
(c) Any Authenticating Agent
may at any time resign by giving at least 30 days’
advance written notice of resignation to the Trustee and the
Depositor. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any
Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to
such Authenticating Agent and the Depositor. Upon receiving a
notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any
time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in
accordance within the provisions of this Section 4.06, the
Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, shall give
written notice of such appointment to the Depositor and shall mail
notice of such appointment to all Holders of Certificates. Any
successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment
hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties
and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect
as if originally named as Authenticating Agent. No successor
Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the
provisions of this Section 4.06. No Authenticating Agent shall
have responsibility or liability for any action taken by it as such
at the direction of the Trustee. Each of the Authenticating Agent,
Certificate Registrar and Paying Agent shall be afforded the same
rights, protections and indemnities as the Trustee as set forth
under Article VIII hereunder.
[END OF ARTICLE IV]
ARTICLE V
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE
LOANS
Section 5.01 Servicer to
Service Mortgage Loans . The Servicer shall service and
administer the Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and
authority, acting alone or through Sub-Servicers as provided in
Section 5.02, to do any and all things which it may deem
necessary or desirable in connection with such servicing and
administration, all in accordance with Accepted Servicing
Practices. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Servicer in its own name or in the name of a Sub-Servicer shall,
pursuant to a power of attorney granted hereby by the Trustee for
such purposes, when the Servicer or the Sub-Servicer, as the case
may be, believes it appropriate in its best judgment, to execute
and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee or
any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or
cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and all
other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans
and with respect to the related Mortgaged Properties; provided,
however, that subject to the provisions of this paragraph, the
Servicer may allow a modification with respect to a Mortgage Loan
if the Servicer would take such action in the ordinary course of
its business if it were the owner of the Mortgage Loan. The
Servicer will indemnify the Trustee for any misuse of such power of
attorney provided hereunder. The Servicer may agree to a
modification of any Mortgage Loan (the "Relevant Mortgage Loan")
upon the request of the related Mortgagor, provided that
(i) the
61
modification is in lieu of a refinancing and the Mortgage Rate
on the Relevant Mortgage Loan, as modified, is approximately a
prevailing market rate of newly-originated mortgage loans having
similar terms, (ii) the aggregate of the adjusted bases of all
Modified Mortgage Loans (including the Relevant Mortgage Loans)
plus the aggregate adjusted bases of any assets that are not
qualified mortgages or permitted investments under
Section 860G(a) of the Code that are assets of the Trust Fund
established hereunder at all times on any day is less than one
percent of the aggregate of the adjusted bases of all assets of the
Trust Fund (including such Modified Mortgage Loans) on such day,
and (iii) the Servicer purchases the Relevant Mortgage Loan
from the Trust Fund as described below. Effective immediately after
such modification, and, in any event, on the same Business Day on
which the modification occurs, all right, title and interest of the
Trustee in and to the Modified Mortgage Loan shall automatically be
deemed transferred and assigned to the Servicer and all benefits
and burdens of ownership thereof, including without limitation the
right to accrued interest thereon from and including the date of
modification and the risk of default thereon, shall pass to the
Servicer. To confirm such transfer and assignment, the Servicer, as
servicer hereunder, as soon as practicable shall execute an
instrument of assignment of the Modified Mortgage Loan without
recourse in customary form to the Servicer in its individual
capacity. The Servicer shall deposit the Purchase Price for any
Modified Mortgage Loan in the Collection Account pursuant to
Section 5.08. Upon receipt by the Trustee of written
notification of any such deposit signed by a Servicing Officer, the
Trustee shall release to the Servicer the related Mortgage File and
shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or
assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary
more fully to vest in the Servicer any Modified Mortgage Loan
previously transferred and assigned pursuant thereto.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Servicer shall
not make or permit any modification of a Mortgage Loan that would
cause any REMIC Pool to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal
income tax purposes or that would result in the imposition of any
material tax under Section 860F(a) or Section 860G(d) of
the Code.
The Servicer shall furnish to the
Trustee for execution and redelivery to the Servicer or, at the
request of the Servicer, a Sub-Servicer, such documents necessary
or appropriate to enable the Servicer to service and administer the
Mortgage Loans and the Trustee shall not be responsible for the
Servicer’s application thereof. The Servicer agrees to remain
eligible as either a FNMA or FHLMC seller/servicer, or both, for so
long as it is Servicer.
All Servicing Advances made by the
Servicer in effecting the timely payment of taxes, insurance and
assessments on the properties subject to the Mortgage Loans shall
not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to
Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under the related
Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage
Loan so permit, and such Servicing Advances shall be recoverable by
the Servicer to the extent permitted by Sections 5.09 and
5.23.
Section 5.02 Sub-Servicing
Agreements Between Servicer and Sub-Servicers; Enforcement of
Sub-Servicer’s Obligations .
(a) The Servicer may enter
into Sub-Servicing Agreements with Sub-Servicers for the servicing
and administration of all or part of the Mortgage Loans. References
in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Servicer
in servicing the Mortgage Loans serviced by it include actions
taken or to be taken by a Sub-Servicer on behalf of the Servicer.
Each Sub-Servicing Agreement will be upon such terms and conditions
as are not inconsistent with this Agreement and as the Servicer and
the Sub-Servicer have agreed. The Servicer hereby agrees to notify
the Trustee in writing promptly upon the appointment of any
Sub-Servicer. For purposes of this Agreement, the receipt by the
Sub-Servicer of any amount with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other
than amounts representing servicing compensation or reimbursement
for an advance) shall be treated as the receipt by the Servicer of
such amount. The Sub-Servicer shall deposit all such funds in an
Eligible Account.
62
(b) As part of its servicing
activities hereunder, the Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee
and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each
Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement. Such
enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution
of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements as appropriate,
and the pursuit of other remedies, shall be in such form and
carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Servicer, in
its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner
of the related Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall pay the costs of
such enforcement at its own expense but shall be reimbursed
therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such
enforcement only to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds
all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans or
(ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or
attorneys’ fees against the party against whom such
enforcement is directed.
(c) The Servicer shall not
permit a Sub-Servicer to perform any servicing responsibilities
hereunder with respect to the Mortgage Loans unless that
Sub-Servicer first agrees in writing with the Servicer to deliver
an Assessment of Compliance and an Accountant’s Attestation
in such manner and at such times that permits the Servicer to
comply with Section 5.25 of this Agreement.
Section 5.03 Successor
Sub-Servicers . The Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any
Sub-Servicing Agreement that may exist in accordance with the terms
and conditions of such Sub-Servicing Agreement and without any
limitation by virtue of this Agreement.
Section 5.04 Liability of
the Servicer . Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any
of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or
arrangements between the Servicer and a Sub-Servicer or reference
to actions taken through a Sub-Servicer or otherwise, the Servicer
shall remain obligated and liable to the Trustee and
Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement
without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of
such Sub-Servicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of
indemnification from the Sub-Servicer and to the same extent and
under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were
servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall
be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Sub-Servicer for
indemnification of the Servicer and nothing contained in this
Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification.
Section 5.05 No
Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicer and Trustee or
Certificateholders . Any Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be
entered into and any other transactions or services relating to the
Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer in its capacity as such and
not as an originator shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer
and the Servicer alone, and the Trustee and Certificateholders
shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims,
rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the
Sub-Servicer.
Section 5.06 Termination
of Sub-Servicing Agreement . If the Servicer shall for any
reason no longer be the Servicer hereunder (including by reason of
any Event of Default), the Servicer shall thereupon terminate each
Sub-Servicing Agreement that may have been entered into, and the
Trustee, its designee or the successor servicer and the Trustee
shall not be deemed to have assumed any of the Servicer’s
interest therein or to have replaced the Servicer as a party to any
such Sub-Servicing Agreement.
Section 5.07 Collection of
Mortgage Loan Payments . Continuously from the date hereof
until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans are paid in
full, the Servicer will proceed diligently to collect all payments
due under each of the Mortgage Loans when the same shall become due
and payable; provided, however, that the Servicer may elect, to the
extent consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, to waive any
late payment charge and shall, to the extent such procedures shall
be consistent with this Agreement, follow such collection
procedures as it follows with respect to conventional
63
mortgage loans held in its own portfolio. Any such arrangements
shall not diminish or otherwise affect the Servicer’s
obligation to make Advances pursuant to Section 6.03.
Section 5.08 Establishment
of Collection Account; Deposit in Collection Account . With
respect to all of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall segregate
and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to a Mortgage
Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general
assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Collection
Accounts for the benefit of the Certificateholders (collectively,
the "Collection Account") which are Eligible Accounts, in the form
of a trust account, in the name of "The Bank of New York Trust

Certificateholders of Multi-Class Mortgage Pass-Through

Chase Bank, N.A. as Servicer, Chase Mortgage Finance Corporation,
Series 2007-S1 — Collection Account." Such Collection

or a savings and loan association. The Servicer may invest, or
cause the institution maintaining the Collection Account to invest,
moneys in the Collection Account in Eligible Investments, which
shall mature not later than two Business Days preceding the
Distribution Date next following the date of such investment and
shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All income
and gain realized from any such investment shall be for the benefit
of the Servicer as additional compensation and shall be subject to
its withdrawal or order from time to time. The amount of any losses
incurred in respect of any such investments (to the extent not
offset by income from other such investments) shall be deposited in
the Collection Account by the Servicer out of its own funds
immediately as realized; provided, however, that if the Trustee
becomes the Servicer, the Trustee shall not be required to deposit
the amount of any loss incurred prior to it becoming the
Servicer.
The Servicer shall deposit or
cause to be deposited in the Collection Account on a daily basis
(and not later than the second Business Day following receipt), and
retain therein:

case of a Co-op Loan); and
(x) Any other amounts required to

The Servicer shall maintain
accounting records on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis with
respect to the Collection Account. The Servicer shall give notice
to the Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Depositor and each Rating
Agency of any change in the location of the Collection Account,
prior to the use thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, no Monthly Payment or any portion thereof shall be
permitted to remain in the Collection Account for more than
12 months. Any Monthly Payment or any portion thereof that has
remained in the Collection Account for 12 months shall be
deemed a Principal Prepayment and distributed to Certificateholders
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement on the Distribution
Date immediately following the end of such 12 month
period.
Section 5.09 Permitted
Withdrawals from the Collection Account . The Servicer may,
from time to time, withdraw funds from the Collection Account for

collects Escrow Payments, if any, the Servicer shall, and shall
cause any Sub-Servicer to, segregate and hold all funds collected
and received pursuant to each such Mortgage Loan which constitute
Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and
general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow
Accounts, in the form of trust accounts. Such Escrow Accounts shall
be established with a commercial bank, a mutual savings bank or a
savings and loan association the deposits of which are insured by
the FDIC in a manner which shall provide maximum available
insurance thereunder, and which may be drawn on by the Servicer.
The Servicer shall, if requested by the Trustee, give notice to the
Trustee of the location of any Escrow Account. Nothing in this
paragraph shall be deemed to require the Servicer to collect Escrow
Payments in the absence of a provision in the related Mortgage
requiring such collection.
The Servicer shall deposit, or
cause to be deposited, in any Escrow Account or Accounts on a daily
basis, and retain therein, (i) all Escrow Payments collected
on account of any Mortgage Loans serviced by the Servicer, for the
purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required

representing proceeds of any hazard insurance policy which are to
be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property
(or Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan).
The Servicer shall make withdrawals therefrom only to effect such
payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other
purposes as are set forth in Section 5.11. The Servicer shall
be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the
Escrow Account by the depository institution other than interest on
escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the related Mortgagor

required under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or under
applicable law, (iv) for application to restoration or repair
of the property subject to the related Mortgage, (v) to pay to
