consent pursuant
to this Agreement, any Certificate registered in the name of the
Depositor or
any Affiliate of the Depositor shall be deemed not to be
Outstanding and the
Percentage Interest evidenced thereby shall not be taken into
account in
determining whether the requisite amount of Percentage Interests
necessary to
effect such consent has been obtained; provided, however, that
if any such
Person (including the Depositor) owns 100% of the Percentage
Interests evidenced
by a Class of Certificates, such Certificates shall be deemed to
be Outstanding
for purposes of any provision hereof that requires the consent
of the Holders of

of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the

Principal
Distribution Amount with respect to any Distribution Date exceed
the aggregate

The Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Servicer and Securities Administrator 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, for the benefit
of the Trustee
as the owner thereof, and the 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
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.
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 for
the benefit of the Certificateholders its rights and interests
under the Sale
Agreement, including the Depositor's right, title and interest
in the
representations and warranties contained in the Sale Agreement,
the rights in
the Transfer Agreement described therein and the benefit of the
repurchase
obligations and the obligation 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 Trustee hereby accepts such assignment, and shall be
entitled to exercise
all rights of the Depositor under the Sale Agreement as if, for
such purpose, it
were the Depositor. The foregoing sale, transfer, assignment,
set-over, deposit
and conveyance does not and is not intended to result in
creation or assumption
by the Trustee of any obligation of the Depositor, the Seller,
or any other
Person in connection with the Mortgage Loans or any other
agreement or
instrument relating thereto except as specifically set forth
herein.
SECTION 2.02. Acceptance by the Trustee of the Mortgage
Loans.
Except as set forth in the Exception Report delivered
contemporaneously
herewith (the "Exception Report"), the Trustee acknowledges
receipt 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 it holds and
will hold 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
- 57 -
<PAGE>
Seller to repurchase any Mortgage Loan to which a material
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 (or the
Subsequent
Transfer Date with respect to Subsequent Mortgage Loans).
The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the three Cap Contracts
(forms of
which are attached hereto as Exhibits N-1, N-2 and N-3), the
Transfer Agreement,
the Bring Down Letter and the Sale Agreement.
The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of Certificateholders and
the NIMs
Insurer, to review or cause its Custodian to review each
Mortgage File delivered
to it within 60 days after the Closing Date (or the Subsequent
Transfer Date
with respect to Subsequent Mortgage Loans) to ascertain and to
certify, within
70 days of the Closing Date (or the Subsequent Transfer Date
with respect to
Subsequent Mortgage Loans), to the NIMs Insurer, the Depositor,
the Master
Servicer and the Servicer that all documents required by Section
2.01 have been
executed and received, and that such documents relate to the
Mortgage Loans
identified in Exhibit B that have been conveyed to it. If the
Trustee 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 Trustee shall promptly (and in any event within no
more than five
Business Days) after such finding so notify the NIMs Insurer,
the Servicer, the
Master Servicer, the Seller and the Depositor. In addition, the
Trustee shall
also notify the NIMs Insurer, the Master Servicer, the Servicer,
the Seller and
the Depositor if the original Mortgage with evidence of
recording thereon with
respect to a Mortgage Loan is not received within 70 days of the
Closing Date
(or the Subsequent Transfer Date with respect to Subsequent
Mortgage Loans); if
it has not been received 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 Trustee written
notice stating
that such Mortgage has been delivered to the appropriate public
recording office
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 Trustee 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 2.03, within
90 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 Trust Fund within 90
days from the
date the Trustee notified the Seller 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 Certificate
Account or Collection
Account, as appropriate, promptly upon receipt, and, upon
receipt by the Trustee
of written notification of such deposit signed by a Servicing
Officer, the
Trustee, upon receipt of a Request for Release, 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 requested
by the Seller and 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 and the NIMs
Insurer. The preceding sentence shall not, however, limit any
remedies available
to the Certificateholders, the NIMs Insurer, the Depositor or
the Trustee
pursuant to the Sale Agreement, the Transfer Agreement and the
Bring-Down
Letter. 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, recordable 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 Servicer, the Master
Servicer, the
Securities Administrator and the Trustee shall keep confidential
the name of
each Mortgagor except as required by this Agreement and the
Servicer, the Master
Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee shall not
solicit any
such Mortgagor for the purpose of refinancing the related
Mortgage Loan;
notwithstanding anything herein to
- 58 -
<PAGE>
the contrary, the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit
(i) disclosure of
any and all information that is or becomes publicly known, or
information
obtained by the Trustee, the Servicer, the Master Servicer or
the Securities
Administrator from sources other than the other parties hereto,
(ii) disclosure
of any and all information (A) if required by any applicable
law, rule or
regulation, (B) to any government agency or regulatory body
having or claiming
authority to regulate or oversee any aspects of the Trustee's
business or that
of its affiliates, (C) pursuant to any subpoena, civil
investigation demand or
similar demand or request of any court, regulatory authority,
arbitrator or
arbitration to which Trustee or any affiliate or an officer,
director, employer
or shareholder thereof is a party or (D) to any affiliate,
independent or
internal auditor, agent, employee or attorney of the Trustee,
the Servicer, the
Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator having a need to
know the same,
provided that the Trustee, the Servicer, the Master Servicer or
the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, advises such recipient of the
confidential nature
of the information being disclosed, or (iii) any other
disclosure authorized by
the Depositor. It is understood and agreed that all rights and
benefits relating
to the solicitation of any Mortgagors and the attendant rights,
title and
interest in and to the list of Mortgagors and data relating to
their Mortgages
shall be retained by the Servicer.
Within 70 days of the Closing Date (or the Subsequent Transfer
Date with
respect to Subsequent Mortgage Loans), the Trustee (or its
custodian) shall
deliver to the NIMs Insurer, the Depositor, the Master Servicer
and the Servicer
the Trustee's Certification, substantially in the form of
Exhibit D attached
hereto, evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files, with
any exceptions
noted thereto.
SECTION 2.03. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the
Depositor.
(a) The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the
Servicer,
the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the NIMs
Insurer and the
Trustee as follows, as of the date hereof:
(i) The Depositor is duly organized and is validly existing as
a
corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware and
has full power and authority (corporate and other) necessary to
own or
hold its properties and to conduct its business as now conducted
by it and
to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement
and the
Sale Agreement.
(ii) The Depositor has the full corporate power and authority
to
execute, deliver and perform, and to enter into and consummate
the
transactions contemplated by, this Agreement and the Sale
Agreement and
has duly authorized, by all necessary corporate action on its
part, the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
Sale
Agreement; and this Agreement and the Sale Agreement, assuming
the due
authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the other
parties hereto,
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Depositor,
enforceable against the Depositor in accordance with its terms,
subject,
as to enforceability, to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization,
moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights
generally
and (ii) general principles of equity, regardless of whether
enforcement
is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law.
(iii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
Sale
Agreement by the Depositor, the consummation of the
transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the Sale Agreement, and the
fulfillment
of or compliance with the terms hereof are in the ordinary
course of
business of the Depositor and will not (A) result in a material
breach of
any term or provision of the charter or by-laws of the Depositor
or (B)
materially conflict with, result in a violation or acceleration
of, or
result in a material default under, the terms of any other
material
agreement or instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by
which it
may be bound or (C) constitute a material violation of any
statute, order
or regulation applicable to the Depositor of any court,
- 59 -
<PAGE>
regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body
having
jurisdiction over the Depositor; and the Depositor is not in
breach or
violation of any material indenture or other material agreement
or
instrument, or in violation of any statute, order or regulation
of any
court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental
body having
jurisdiction over it which breach or violation may materially
impair the
Depositor's ability to perform or meet any of its obligations
under this
Agreement.
(iv) No litigation is pending, or, to the best of the
Depositor's
knowledge, threatened, against the Depositor that would
materially and
adversely affect the execution, delivery or enforceability of
this
Agreement and the Sale Agreement or the ability of the Depositor
to
perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Sale
Agreement in
accordance with the terms hereof.
(v) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court
or
governmental agency or body is required for the execution,
delivery and
performance by the Depositor of, or compliance by the Depositor
with, this
Agreement and the Sale Agreement or the consummation of the
transactions
contemplated hereby, or if any such consent, approval,
authorization or
order is required, the Depositor has obtained the same. The
Depositor
hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee with respect to
each
Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date (or the related Subsequent
Transfer
Date with respect to each Subsequent Mortgage Loan), and
following the
transfer of the Mortgage Loans to it by the Seller, the
Depositor had good
title to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Notes were subject
to no
offsets, claims, liens, mortgage, pledge, charge, security
interest,
defenses or counterclaims.
(b) The representations and warranties of the Transferor
with
respect to the Mortgage Loans contained in the Transfer
Agreement were made as
of the date of the Transfer Agreement and brought forward to the
Closing Date
(or the Subsequent Transfer Date with respect to Subsequent
Mortgage Loans)
pursuant to the Bring Down Letter. The representations and
warranties of the
Transferor with respect to the Mortgage Loans contained in the
Bring Down Letter
were made as of the Closing Date (or will be made as of the
Subsequent Transfer
Date with respect to each Subsequent Mortgage Loan). The
representations and
warranties of the Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loans
contained in the
Sale Agreement were made as of the Closing Date.
To the extent that any fact, condition or event with respect to
a Mortgage Loan
constitutes a breach of a representation or warranty of the
Transferor under the
Transfer Agreement (whether or not such fact, condition or event
would also
constitute a breach of a representation or warranty of the
Seller under the Sale
Agreement), the only rights or remedies of the Trustee, the NIMs
Insurer or of
any Certificateholder shall be first, the Trustee's right to
enforce the
obligations of the Transferor under such applicable
representation or warranty
made by it and, second, only if the Transferor is unable or
unwilling to fulfill
its obligations to cure or repurchase such Mortgage Loan, the
Trustee shall
exercise its right to enforce any rights it may have against the
Seller under
the Sale Agreement with respect to such representation or
warranty; provided,
that in the event the Trustee shall have received a copy of any
Transferor
Affirmation Notice, the Trustee shall only be entitled to
enforce any rights it
has against the Transferor under the Transfer Agreement and
shall not have any
rights against the Seller under the Sale Agreement with respect
to such
representation or warranty. To the extent that any fact,
condition or event with
respect to a Mortgage Loan constitutes a breach of a
representation or warranty
made by the Seller in the Sale Agreement that does not also
constitute a breach
of a representation or warranty of the Transferor under the
Transfer Agreement,
the Trustee shall enforce any rights it may have against the
Seller under the
Sale Agreement. In furtherance of the above, the Seller
expressly acknowledges
that prior to the issuance of a Transferor Affirmation Notice,
it shall be
obligated and liable to the Trustee, the NIMs Insurer and the
Certificateholders
for any breach of a representation or warranty made under
- 60 -
<PAGE>
the Transfer Agreement, but only after the Transferor evidences
that it is
unwilling or unable to fulfill its contractual obligations under
the Transfer
Agreement. The Trustee acknowledges that the Depositor shall
have no obligation
or liability with respect to any breach of any representation or
warranty with
respect to the Mortgage Loans (except as set forth in Section
2.03(a)(v)) under
any circumstances.
In addition to the representations and warranties of the
Transferor in the
Transfer Agreement that were brought forward to the Closing Date
(or Subsequent
Transfer Date) pursuant to the Bring Down Letter, with respect
to each Mortgage
Loan, the Transferor made certain additional covenants regarding
such Mortgage
Loan, as set forth in the Transfer Agreement. With respect to
any breach of such
additional covenants that materially and adversely affects the
interests of the
Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall (1)
use reasonable
efforts to enforce such covenant against the Transferor and (2)
if the Seller
successfully enforces any obligation of the Transferor to
repurchase such
Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan in
accordance with
this Section 2.03. If the Seller does not successfully enforce
the obligation,
if any, of the Transferor to repurchase a Mortgage Loan with
respect to any
breach of any such additional covenants, the Seller shall have
no obligation or
right to repurchase or cure such Mortgage Loan.
(c) Upon discovery by any of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the
Securities Administrator, the Servicer, the NIMs Insurer or the
Trustee of a
breach of any of such representations and warranties that
adversely and
materially affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan,
Prepayment Charges or
the interests of the Certificateholders, the party discovering
such breach shall
give prompt written notice to the other parties. Within 90 days
of the discovery
of such breach of any representation or warranty, the Transferor
or the Seller,
as applicable, shall either (a) cure such breach in all material
respects, (b)
repurchase such Mortgage Loan or any property acquired in
respect thereof from
the Trustee at the Purchase Price or (c) within the two year
period following
the Closing Date, substitute a Replacement Mortgage Loan for the
affected
Mortgage Loan. In the event of discovery of a breach of any
representation and
warranty of the Transferor or the Seller, the Trustee shall
enforce its rights
under the Transfer Agreement or the Sale Agreement for the
benefit of
Certificateholders and the NIMs Insurer. If a breach of the
representations and
warranties set forth in the Transfer Agreement exists solely due
to the
unenforceability of a Prepayment Charge, the Trustee shall
notify the NIMs
Insurer thereof and not seek to enforce the repurchase remedy
provided for
herein unless directed in writing to do so by the NIMs Insurer.
In the event of
a breach of the representations and warranties with respect to
the Mortgage
Loans set forth in the Transfer Agreement, the Trustee shall, at
the request of
the NIMs Insurer, enforce the right of the Trust Fund and the
NIMs Insurer to be
indemnified for such breach of representation and warranty. In
the event that
such breach relates solely to the unenforceability of a
Prepayment Charge,
amounts received in respect of such indemnity up to the amount
of such
Prepayment Charge shall be distributed pursuant to Section
4.04(b)(i). As
provided in the Sale Agreement, if the Transferor substitutes
for a Mortgage
Loan for which there is a breach of any representations and
warranties in the
Transfer Agreement which adversely and materially affects the
value of such
Mortgage Loan and such substitute mortgage loan is not a
Replacement Mortgage
Loan, under the terms of the Sale Agreement, the Seller will, in
exchange for
such substitute Mortgage Loan, (i) provide the applicable
Purchase Price for the
affected Mortgage Loan or (ii) within two years of the Closing
Date, substitute
such affected Mortgage Loan with a Replacement Mortgage Loan.
Any such
substitution shall not be effected prior to the additional
delivery to the
Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in the form of
Exhibit I and
shall not be effected unless it is within two years of the
Startup Day. As
provided in the Sale Agreement, the Seller indemnifies and holds
the Trust Fund,
the Trustee, the Depositor, the NIMs Insurer, the Master
Servicer, the
Securities Administrator, the Servicer and each
Certificateholder harmless
against any and all taxes, claims, losses, penalties, fines,
forfeitures,
reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any
other costs, fees
and expenses that the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor,
the NIMs Insurer,
the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Servicer
and any
Certificateholder may sustain in connection with any actions of
the Seller
relating
- 61 -
<PAGE>
to a repurchase of a Mortgage Loan other than in compliance with
the terms of
this Section 2.03 and the Sale Agreement, to the extent that any
such action
causes (i) any federal or state tax to be imposed on the Trust
Fund or any REMIC
provided for herein, including without limitation, any federal
tax imposed on
"prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code
or on
"contributions after the startup day" under Section 860G(d)(1)
of the Code, or
(ii) any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC
at any time that
any Certificate is outstanding. In furtherance of the foregoing,
if the Seller
is not a member of MERS and repurchases a Mortgage Loan which is
registered on
the MERS System, the Seller, at its own expense and without any
right of
reimbursement, shall cause MERS to execute and deliver an
assignment of the
Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS
to the Seller and
shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the
MERS System in
accordance with MERS' rules and regulations.
With respect to any Mortgage Loan repurchased by the Depositor
pursuant to
this Agreement, by the Seller pursuant to the Sale Agreement or
by the
Transferor pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, the principal
portion of the
funds received by the Servicer in respect of such repurchase of
a Mortgage Loan
will be considered a Principal Prepayment and shall be deposited
by the Servicer
in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 and the
Servicer shall notify
the Securities Administrator of its receipt of the same. The
Trustee, upon
receipt of notice from the Servicer of its receipt of the full
amount of the
Purchase Price for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, or upon receipt of
the Mortgage File
for a Replacement Mortgage Loan substituted for a Deleted
Mortgage Loan, shall
release or cause to be released and reassign to the Depositor,
the Seller or the
Transferor, as applicable, the related Mortgage File for the
Deleted Mortgage
Loan and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer
or assignment,
in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as
shall be necessary
to vest in such party or its designee or assignee title to any
Deleted Mortgage
Loan released pursuant hereto, free and clear of all security
interests, liens
and other encumbrances created by this Agreement, which
instruments shall be
prepared by the Trustee (or its custodian), and neither the
Trustee nor the
Securities Administrator shall not have any further
responsibility with respect
to the Mortgage File relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan.
With respect to each Replacement Mortgage Loan to be delivered
to the
Trustee (or its custodian) pursuant to the terms of this Article
II in exchange
for a Deleted Mortgage Loan: (i) the Depositor, the Transferor
or the Seller, as
applicable, must deliver to the Trustee (or its custodian) the
Mortgage File for
the Replacement Mortgage Loan containing the documents set forth
in Section 2.01
along with a written certification certifying as to the delivery
of such
Mortgage File and containing the granting language set forth in
Section 2.01;
and (ii) the Depositor will be deemed to have made, with respect
to such
Replacement Mortgage Loan, each of the representations and
warranties made by it
with respect to the related Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Trustee
(or its
custodian) shall review the Mortgage File with respect to each
Replacement
Mortgage Loan and certify to the NIMs Insurer and the Depositor
that all
documents required by Section 2.01 have been executed and
received.
For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more
Replacement
Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the
Seller will determine
the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of
all such
Replacement Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution and
the aggregate
Prepayment Charges with respect to such Replacement Mortgage
Loans is less than
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance (after application of the
principal
portion of the Scheduled Payment due in the month of
substitution) and aggregate
Prepayment Charges of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans. An amount
equal to the
aggregate of the deficiencies described in the preceding
sentence (such amount,
the "Substitution Adjustment Amount") plus an amount equal to
any unreimbursed
costs, penalties and/or damages incurred by the Trust Fund in
connection with
any violation relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan of any
predatory or abusive
lending law shall be remitted by the Seller to the Servicer for
deposit into the
- 62 -
<PAGE>
Collection Account on the Determination Date for the
Distribution Date relating
to the Prepayment Period during which the related Mortgage Loan
became required
to be purchased or replaced hereunder.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the right
to
substitute Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Article II shall be
subject to the
additional limitations that no substitution of a Replacement
Mortgage Loan for a
Deleted Mortgage Loan shall be made unless the Trustee, the NIMs
Insurer and the
Securities Administrator shall each have received an Opinion of
Counsel (at the
expense of the party seeking to make the substitution) that,
under current law,
such substitution will not (A) affect adversely the status of
any REMIC
established hereunder as a REMIC, or of the related "regular
interests" as
"regular interests" in any such REMIC, or (B) cause any such
REMIC to engage in
a "prohibited transaction" or prohibited contribution pursuant
to the REMIC
Provisions.
The Trustee shall cause the Mortgage Loan Schedule to be amended
in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
The Seller shall give or cause to be given written notice to
the
Certificateholders and the NIMs Insurer that such substitution
has taken place,
shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of
such Deleted
Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the
substitution of the
Replacement Mortgage Loan or Replacement Mortgage Loans and
shall deliver a copy
of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the NIMs Insurer, the
Servicer, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee. Upon such substitution by the
Seller, such
Replacement Mortgage Loan or Replacement Mortgage Loans shall
constitute part of
the Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects to the
terms of this
Agreement and the Sale Agreement, including all applicable
representations and
warranties thereof included in the Sale Agreement as of the date
of
substitution.
(d) It is understood and agreed that the representations,
warranties
and indemnification (i) set forth in this Section 2.03, (ii) of
the Seller and
the Depositor set forth in the Sale Agreement and assigned to
the Trustee by the
Depositor hereunder and (iii) of the Transferor, assigned by the
Seller to the
Depositor pursuant to the Sale Agreement and assigned to the
Trustee by the
Depositor hereunder shall each survive delivery of the Mortgage
Files and the
Assignment of Mortgage of each Mortgage Loan to the Trustee and
shall continue
throughout the term of this Agreement.
(e) The Depositor shall deliver a copy of the Mortgage Loan
Schedule
to the Servicer on the Closing Date (or the Subsequent Transfer
Date with
respect to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans).
SECTION 2.04. Representations and Warranties of the Master
Servicer;
Representations and Warranties of the Servicer; Representations
and Warranties
of the Securities Administrator.
(a) The Master Servicer hereby represents and warrants to
the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee as follows, as of the

to be conducted
by the Master Servicer.

Agreement and has
duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the
Master Servicer the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement; and this
Agreement,
assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by
the other
parties hereto, constitutes a legal, valid and
- 63 -
<PAGE>
binding obligation of the Master Servicer, enforceable against
the Master
Servicer in accordance with its terms, except that (A) the
enforceability hereof
may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium,
receivership and other
similar laws relating to creditors' rights generally and (B) the
remedy of
specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable
relief may be
subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court
before which
any proceeding hereunder may be brought.
(iii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
Master Servicer, the master servicing of the Mortgage Loans
under this
Agreement, the consummation of any other of the transactions
contemplated by
this Agreement, and the fulfillment of or compliance with the
terms hereof are
in the ordinary course of business of the Master Servicer and
will not (A)
result in a material breach of any term or provision of the
charter or by-laws
of the Master Servicer or (B) materially conflict with, result
in a material
breach, violation or acceleration of, or result in a material
default under, the
terms of any other material agreement or instrument to which the

material violation
of any statute, order or regulation applicable to the Master
Servicer of any
court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental
body having
jurisdiction over the Master Servicer; and the Master Servicer
is not in breach

SECTION 2.05. Substitutions and Repurchases of Mortgage Loans
which are
not "Qualified Mortgages."
Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Servicer, the
Securities Administrator or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan
does not
constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of section
860G(a)(3) of
the Code, the party discovering such fact shall promptly (and in
any event
within 5 Business Days of discovery) give written notice thereof
to the other
parties. In connection therewith, the Depositor shall, at the
Depositor's
option, either (i) substitute, if the conditions in Section
2.03(c) with respect
to substitutions are satisfied, a Replacement Mortgage Loan for
the affected
Mortgage Loan, or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan
within 90 days of
such discovery in the same manner as it would a Mortgage Loan
for a breach of
representation or warranty contained in Section 2.03. The
Trustee, upon the
written request of the Depositor, shall reconvey to the
Depositor the Mortgage
Loan to
- 66 -
<PAGE>
be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same
terms and
conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach
of a
representation or warranty contained in Section 2.03.
SECTION 2.06. Authentication and Delivery of Certificates.
The Trustee acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of
the Trust
Fund and, concurrently with such transfer and assignment, the
Securities
Administrator has caused to be authenticated and delivered to or
upon the order
of the Depositor, in exchange for the Mortgage Loans,
Certificates duly
authenticated by the Securities Administrator in authorized
denominations
evidencing ownership of the entire Trust Fund. The Trustee
agrees to hold the
Trust Fund and exercise the rights referred to above for the
benefit of all
present and future Holders of the Certificates and to perform
its duties set
forth in this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof
to the best of
its abilities, to the end that the interests of the Holders may
be adequately
and effectively protected.
SECTION 2.07. REMIC Elections.
(a) The Depositor hereby instructs and authorizes the Trustee
to
make an appropriate election to treat each of the Upper Tier
REMIC and the Lower
Tier REMIC as a REMIC. The Trustee, upon written direction of
the Securities
Administrator, shall sign the returns providing for such
elections and such
other tax or information returns which are required to be signed
by the Trustee
under applicable law. This Agreement shall be construed so as to
carry out the
intention of the parties that each of the Upper Tier REMIC and
the Lower Tier
REMIC be treated as a REMIC at all times prior to the date on
which the Trust
Fund is terminated.
(b) The Preliminary Statement sets forth the designations
and
"latest possible maturity date" for federal income tax purposes
of all interests
created hereby. The "Startup Day" for purposes of the REMIC
Provisions shall be
the Closing Date. Each REMIC's fiscal year shall be the calendar
year.
The Lower Tier REMIC shall consist of all of the assets of the
Trust Fund,
other than (i) amounts distributable to the Class P Certificates
pursuant to
Section 4.04(b)(i) hereof, (ii) the interests issued by the
Lower Tier REMIC,
(iii) the grantor trusts described in Section 2.07 hereof, (iv)
each Cap
Contract and the Cap Contract Account, (v) the Pre-Funding
Account and (vi) the
Capitalized Interest Account. The Lower Tier REMIC shall issue
the Lower Tier
REMIC Regular Interests which shall be designated as regular
interests of such
REMIC and shall issue the Class LTR Interest that shall be
designated as the
sole class of residual interest in the Lower Tier REMIC. Each of
the Lower Tier
REMIC Regular Interests shall have the characteristics set forth
in its
definition.
The assets of the Upper Tier REMIC shall be the Lower Tier REMIC
Regular
Interests. The REMIC Regular Interests shall be designated as
the regular
interests in the Upper Tier REMIC and the Residual Interest
shall be designated
as the sole class of residual interest in the Upper Tier REMIC.
For federal
income tax purposes, the pass-through rate on each REMIC Regular
Interest (other
than the Uncertificated Class C Interest) and on the sole class
of residual
interest in the Upper Tier REMIC shall be subject to a cap equal
to the Net
Rate.
The beneficial ownership of the Class LTR Interest and the
Residual
Interest shall be represented by the Class R Certificate. The
Class LTR Interest
shall not have a principal balance or bear interest.
(c) The "tax matters person" with respect to each REMIC for
purposes
of the REMIC Provisions shall be the beneficial owner of the
Class R
Certificate; provided, however, that the Holder of the Class R
Certificate, by
its acceptance thereof, irrevocably appoints the Securities
- 67 -
<PAGE>
Administrator as its agent and attorney-in-fact to act as "tax
matters person"
with respect to each REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.
If there is
more than one beneficial owner of the Class R Certificate, the
"tax matters
person" shall be the Person with the greatest percentage
interest in the Class R
Certificate and, if there is more than one such Person, shall be
determined
under Treasury regulation Section 1.860F-4(d) and Treasury
regulation Section
301.6231(a)(7)-1.
(d) It is intended that the rights of each Class of the Class
A,
Class M and Class B Certificates to receive payments in respect
of Excess
Interest shall be treated as a right in interest rate cap
contracts written by
the Class C Certificateholders in favor of the holders of each
Class of the
Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates and such shall be
accounted for as
property held separate and apart from the regular interests in
the Upper Tier
REMIC held by the holders of the Class A (other than the Class R
Certificate),
Class M and Class B Certificates and the residual interest in
the Upper Tier
REMIC held by the holder of the Class R Certificate. For
information reporting
requirements, the rights of the Class A, Class M and Class B
Certificates to
receive payments in respect of Excess Interest shall be assumed
to have zero or
a de minimis value. This provision is intended to satisfy the
requirements of
Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(i) for the treatment of
property rights
coupled with REMIC interests to be separately respected and
shall be interpreted
consistently with such regulation. On each Distribution Date, to
the extent that
any of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates receive
payments in respect
of Excess Interest, such amounts, to the extent not derived from
payments on the
Cap Contracts, will be treated as distributed by the Upper Tier
REMIC to the
Class C Certificates pro rata in payment of the amounts
specified in Section
4.04(g) and then paid to the relevant Class of Certificates
pursuant to the
related interest rate cap agreement.
(e) The parties intend that the portion of the Trust Fund
consisting
of the Uncertificated Class C Interest, the Cap Contracts, the
Cap Contract
Account, and the obligation of the holders of the Class C
Certificates to pay
amounts in respect of Excess Interest to the holders of the
Class A, Class M and
Class B Certificates shall be treated as a "grantor trust" under
the Code, for
the benefit of the holders of the Class C Certificates, and the
provisions
hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In
furtherance of
such intention, the Securities Administrator shall (i) furnish
or cause to be
furnished to the holders of the Class C Certificates information
regarding their
allocable share, if any, of the income with respect to such
grantor trust, (ii)
file or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service Form
1041 (together
with any necessary attachments) and such other forms as may be
applicable and
(iii) comply with such information reporting obligations with
respect to
payments from such grantor trust to the holders of Class A,
Class M, Class B and
Class C Certificates as may be applicable under the Code.
(f) The parties intend that the portion of the Trust Fund
consisting
of the right to receive amounts distributable to the Class P
Certificates
pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(i) hereof shall be treated as a
"grantor trust"
under the Code, for the benefit of the holders of the Class P
Certificates, and
the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with
this intention. In
furtherance of such intention, the Securities Administrator
shall (i) furnish or
cause to be furnished to the holders of the Class P Certificates
information
regarding their allocable share of the income with respect to
such grantor trust
and (ii) file or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue
Service Form 1041
(together with any necessary attachments) and such other forms
as may be
applicable.
(g) [RESERVED]
(h) All payments of principal and interest at the Net Mortgage
Rate
on each of the Mortgage Loans (other than amounts distributable
to the Class P
Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(i) hereof) received
from the Mortgage
Loans shall be paid to the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests
until the
principal balance of all such interests have been reduced to
zero and any
- 68 -
<PAGE>
losses allocated to such interests have been reimbursed. Any
excess amounts
shall be distributed to the Class LTR Interest. On each
Distribution Date,
payments and losses shall be allocated among the Lower Tier
REMIC Regular
Interests so that (i) each of the Lower Tier REMIC I Marker
Interests shall have
a principal balance equal to 25% of the principal balance of the
Corresponding
Certificates, (ii) the Class LTIX Interest has a principal
balance equal to the
excess of (x) 50% of the sum of (1) the remaining principal
balance of the
Mortgage Loans and (2) the amount remaining on deposit in the
Pre-Funding
Account (disregarding income or losses on investments of amounts
on deposit in
the Pre-Funding Account) over (y) the aggregate principal
balance of the Lower
Tier REMIC I Marker Interests (if necessary to reflect an
increase in
overcollateralization, accrued and unpaid interest on the Class
LTIX interest
may be added to its principal amount to achieve this result) and
(iii) the
aggregate principal amount of the Class LTII1A Interest, Class
LTII1B Interest,
Class LTII2A Interest, Class LTII2B Interest and the Class LTIIX
Interest shall
equal 50% of the sum of (1) the remaining principal balance of
the Mortgage
Loans and (2) the amount remaining on deposit in the Pre-Funding
Account
(disregarding income or losses on investments of amounts on
deposit in the
Pre-Funding Account). Distributions and losses allocated to the
Lower Tier REMIC
Regular Interests described in clause (iii) of the preceding
sentence will be
allocated among such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests in the
following manner:
(x) such distributions shall be deemed made to such Lower Tier
REMIC Regular
Interests first, so as to keep the principal balance of the each
such Lower Tier
REMIC Regular Interest with "B" at the end of its designation
equal to 0.05% of
the sum of (1) the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the
Mortgage Loans
in the related Mortgage Group and (2) the portion of the
Original Pre-Funded
Amount related to such Mortgage Group that is remaining in the
Pre-Funding
Account (disregarding income or loss on investments of amounts
on deposit in the
Pre-Funding Account); second, to such Lower Tier REMIC Regular
Interests with
"A" at the end of its designation so that the uncertificated
principal balance
of each such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interest is equal to 0.05%
of the excess
of (I) the sum of (1) the aggregate scheduled principal balance
of the Mortgage
Loans in the related Mortgage Group and (2) the portion of the
Original
Pre-Funded Amount related to such Mortgage Group that is
remaining in the
Pre-Funding Account (disregarding income or loss on investments
of amounts on
deposit in the Pre-Funding Account) over (II) the aggregate
principal balance of
Certificate Group One, in the case of Group One, or Certificate
Group Two, in
the case of Group Two (except that if 0.05% of any such excess
is greater than
the principal amount of the related Lower Tier REMIC II Marker
Interest with "A"
at the end of its designation, the least amount of principal
shall be
distributed to each Lower Tier REMIC II Marker Interest with "A"
at the end of
its designation such that the Lower Tier REMIC Subordinated
Balance Ratio is
maintained) and finally, any remaining distributions of
principal to the Class
LTIIX Interest and (y) such losses shall be allocated among the
Lower Tier REMIC
Regular Interests described in clause (iii) of the preceding
sentence first, so
as to keep the principal balance of the each such Lower Tier
REMIC Regular
Interest with "B" at the end of its designation equal to 0.05%
of the sum of (1)
the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans
in the related
Mortgage Group and (2) the portion of the Original Pre-Funded
Amount related to
such Mortgage Group that is remaining in the Pre-Funding Account
(disregarding
income or loss on investments of amounts on deposit in the
Pre-Funding Account);
second, to such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests with "A" at
the end of its
designation so that the uncertificated principal balance of each
such Lower Tier
REMIC Regular Interest is equal to 0.05% of the excess of (I)
the sum of (1) the
aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in
the related
Mortgage Group and (2) the portion of the Original Pre-Funded
Amount related to
such Mortgage Group that is remaining in the Pre-Funding Account
(disregarding
income or loss on investments of amounts on deposit in the
Pre-Funding Account)
over (II) the aggregate principal balance of Certificate Group
One, in the case
of the Class LTII1A Interest, or Certificate Group Two, in the
case of the Class
LTII2A Interest (except that if 0.05% of any such excess is
greater than the
principal amount of the related Lower Tier REMIC II Marker
Interest with "A" at
the end of its designation, the least amount of losses shall be
allocated to
each Lower REMIC II Marker Interest with "A" at the end of its
designation such
that the Lower Tier REMIC Subordinated Balance Ratio is
maintained) and finally,
