In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the
Company,
the Servicer and the Trustee agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS
Section 1.01. Definitions.
Whenever used in this Agreement, the following words and
phrases, unless
the context otherwise requires, shall have the meanings
specified in this
Article.
Accrued Certificate Interest: With respect to each Distribution
Date and
any Class of Certificates, interest accrued during the related
Interest Accrual
Period at the related Pass-Through Rate on the Certificate
Principal Balance
thereof immediately prior to such Distribution Date. Accrued
Certificate
Interest on each Class of Certificates will be calculated on the
basis of a
360-day year, consisting of twelve 30-day months.
With respect to each Distribution Date, Accrued Certificate
Interest on
any Class of Certificates will be reduced by the amount of:
(i) Prepayment Interest Shortfalls on the Mortgage Loans in
the
related Loan Group prepaid during the prior calendar month
and,
in the case of a Principal Prepayment in Full, during the
related
Prepayment Period (to the extent not offset by the Servicer
with
a payment of Compensating Interest),
(ii) the interest portion (adjusted to the Net Mortgage Rate (or
the
Modified Net Mortgage Rate in the case of a Modified
Mortgage
Loan)) of Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans in the
related
Loan Group (including Excess Special Hazard Losses, Excess
Fraud
Losses, Excess Bankruptcy Losses and Extraordinary Losses)
not
allocated solely to one or more specific Classes of
Certificates
pursuant to Section 4.05,
(iii) the interest portion of Advances that were made with
respect to
delinquencies related to Mortgage Loans or REO Property in
the
related Loan Group that were ultimately determined to be
Excess
Special Hazard Losses, Excess Fraud Losses, Excess
Bankruptcy
Losses or Extraordinary Losses, and
(iv) any other interest shortfalls on the Mortgage Loans in
the
related Loan Group not covered by the subordination provided
by
the Class M Certificates and Class B Certificates, including
interest that is not collectible from the Mortgagor pursuant
to
the Relief Act,
with the Senior Percentage of all such reductions with respect
to the Mortgage
Loans in a Loan Group being allocated among the related Senior
Certificates in
proportion to the amounts of Accrued Certificate Interest
payable from the
related Loan Group on such Distribution Date absent such
reductions, with the
remainder of such reductions allocated among the holders of the
Class M
Certificates and Class B Certificates on the basis of their
respective amounts
of Accrued Certificate Interest that would have been payable on
such
Distribution Date absent such reductions. In addition to that
portion of the
reductions described in the preceding sentence that are
allocated to any Class
of Class B Certificates or any Class of Class M Certificates,
Accrued
Certificate Interest on such Class of Class B Certificates or
such Class of
Class M Certificates will be reduced by the interest portion
(adjusted to the
Net Mortgage Rate) of Realized Losses that are allocated solely
to such Class of
Class B Certificates or such Class of Class M Certificates
pursuant to Section
4.05.

case may be, provided that if permitted by the applicable
underwriting standards
of GMACM, the Appraised Value shall be the value of the
Mortgaged Property as
stated by the Mortgagor.

or
equivalent instrument, in recordable form, sufficient under the
laws of the

Certificateholders, which assignment, notice of transfer or
equivalent
instrument may be in the form of one or more blanket assignments
covering
Mortgages secured by Mortgaged Properties located in the same
county, if

that effect.

Loan, the
assignment of the related Cooperative Lease from the Mortgagor

pursuant to Section 3.16(e) is less than Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls incurred
on the Mortgage Loans in connection with Principal Prepayments
in Full received
during the related Prepayment Period and Curtailments made in
the prior calendar
month, such Compensating Interest shall be allocated on such
Distribution Date
to the Available Distribution Amount for each Loan Group on a
pro rata basis in
accordance with the respective amounts of such Prepayment
Interest Shortfalls
incurred on the Mortgage Loans in such Loan Group in respect of
such
Distribution Date.

Mortgage Loans as of the Relevant Anniversary, the sum of
(I) the aggregate principal balance of the Non-Primary

provided that prior
to any such reduction, the Servicer shall (i) obtain written

connection with
the representations and warranties made regarding the related
Mortgage Loan and
either (A) the related Mortgage Loan is not in default with
regard to payments
due thereunder or (B) delinquent payments of principal and
interest under the
related Mortgage Loan and any premiums on any applicable primary
hazard
insurance policy and any related escrow payments in respect of

that in the case of Mortgage Loans which have been prepaid in
full after the
Cut-off Date and prior to the Closing Date, the Company, in lieu
of delivering
the above documents, may deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Custodian, if
any, or the Trustee, a certification to such effect and shall
deposit all
amounts paid in respect of such Mortgage Loan in the Payment
Account on the
Closing Date.
(c) All other documents contained in the Mortgage File and any
original
documents relating to the Mortgage Loans not contained in the
Mortgage File or
delivered to the Custodian, if any, or the Trustee are and shall
be held by the
Servicer in trust as agent for the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders.
In the event that in connection with any Mortgage Loan: (a) the
original
recorded Mortgage (or evidence of submission to the recording
office), (b) all
interim recorded assignments, (c) the original recorded
modification agreement,
if required, or (d) evidence of title insurance (together with
all riders
thereto, if any) satisfying the requirements of clause (I)(ii),
(iv), (vi) or
(vii) of the definition of Mortgage File, respectively, have not
been delivered
to the Servicer concurrently with the execution and delivery
hereof because such
document or documents have not been returned from the applicable
public
recording office, or, in the case of each such interim
assignment or
modification agreement, because the related Mortgage has not
been returned by
the appropriate recording office, in the case of clause (I)(ii),
(iv) or (vi) of
the definition of Mortgage File, or because the evidence of
title insurance has
not been delivered to the Seller by the title insurer in the
case of clause
(I)(vii) of the definition of Mortgage File, the Servicer shall
use its
reasonable best efforts to obtain, (A) in the case of clause
(I)(ii), (iv) or
(vi) of the definition of Mortgage File, such original Mortgage,
such interim
assignment, or such modification agreement, with evidence of
recording indicated
thereon upon receipt thereof from the public recording office,
or a copy
thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant recording
office, or (B) in
the case of clause (I)(vii) of the definition of Mortgage File,
evidence of
title insurance.
(d) If any of the documents held by the Servicer pursuant to
clause (c) above
are missing or defective in any other respect and such missing
document or
defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Certificateholders
in the related Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall request that
GMACM either (i)
cure such defect in all material respects, (ii) substitute for
such Mortgage
Loan a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, which substitution
shall be
accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set
forth in Section
2.04, or (iii) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund
at the Purchase
Price within 90 days after the date on which GMACM was notified
of such defect;
provided that if such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be
other than a
"qualified mortgage" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the
Code, any such
cure, substitution or repurchase must occur within 90 days from
the date such
breach was discovered. If GMACM fails to comply with such
request by the
Servicer, the Servicer shall notify the Trustee of such missing
document or
material defect and the Trustee shall notify GMACM of its
obligation to comply
43
<PAGE>
with clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the preceding sentence. It is
understood and
agreed that the obligation of GMACM to cure a material defect
in, or substitute
for, or purchase any Mortgage Loan as to which a material defect
in or omission
of a constituent document exists, shall constitute the sole
remedy respecting
such material defect or omission available to Certificateholders
or the Trustee
on behalf of Certificateholders. The Purchase Price for the
purchased Mortgage
Loan shall be deposited or caused to be deposited upon receipt
by the Trustee in
the Payment Account, or upon receipt by the Servicer in the
Custodial Account.
Upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such
deposit signed by a
Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall (i) release or cause to be
released to
GMACM the related Mortgage Note, (ii) cause the Servicer to
release to GMACM any
remaining documents in the related Mortgage File which are held
by the Servicer,
and (iii) execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or
assignment, in
each case without recourse, as GMACM shall require as necessary
to vest in GMACM
ownership of any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and at
such time the
Trustee shall have no further responsibility with respect to the
related
Mortgage Note.
(e) The Servicer shall keep in its possession (a) from time to
time additional
original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of a
Mortgage Loan
and (b) any other documents required to be held by the
Servicer.
Except as may otherwise expressly be provided herein, none of
the
Seller, the Servicer or the Trustee shall assign, sell, dispose
of or transfer
any interest in the Trust Fund or any portion thereof, or permit
the Trust Fund
or any portion thereof to be subject to any lien, claim,
mortgage, security
interest, pledge or other encumbrance of, any other Person.
The Servicer shall cause to be filed the UCC assignment and
UCC
financing statement referred to in clause (II)(vii) and (x),
respectively, of
the definition of Mortgage File. If any UCC assignment or
amendment or UCC
financing statement, as applicable, is lost or returned unfiled
to the Servicer
because of any defect therein, the Servicer shall prepare a
substitute UCC
assignment or amendment or UCC financing statement, as
applicable, or cure such
defect, and cause such UCC assignment or amendment or UCC
financing statement,
as applicable, to be filed in accordance with this paragraph. In
connection with
its servicing of Cooperative Loans, the Servicer will use its
reasonable best
efforts to file timely continuation statements with regard to
each financing
statement and assignment relating to Cooperative Loans as to
which the related
Cooperative Apartment is located outside of the State of New
York.
In connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan
registered on the
MERS(R) System, the Servicer further agrees that it will cause,
at the
Servicer's own expense, as soon as practicable after the Closing
Date, the
MERS(R) System to indicate that such MortgagE Loans have been
assigned to the
Trustee in accordance with this Agreement for the benefit of
the
Certificateholders by including (or deleting, in the case of
Mortgage Loans
which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such
computer files
(a) the specific code which identifies the Trustee as the
assignee of such
Mortgage Loan and (b) the series specific code in the field
"Pool Field" which
identifies the series of Certificates issued in connection with
such Mortgage
Loans. The Servicer agrees that it will not alter the codes
referenced in this
paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan during the term of
this Agreement
unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance
with the terms
of this Agreement, and there is filed any financing statement or
amendment
thereof necessary to comply with the New York Uniform Commercial
Code or the
Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable jurisdiction.
(f) It is intended that the conveyance by the Company to the
Trustee of the
Mortgage Loans as provided for in this Section 2.01 be construed
as a sale by
the Company to the Trustee of the Mortgage Loans for the benefit
of the
Certificateholders. Further, it is not intended that such
conveyance be deemed
to be a grant of a security interest in the Mortgage Loans by
the Company to the
Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Company.
However, if the
Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Company or of the
Seller, or if
44
<PAGE>
for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a
security interest in
the Mortgage Loans, then it is intended that, (a) this Agreement
be and hereby
is a security agreement within the meaning of Article 9 of the
Uniform
Commercial Code of any applicable jurisdiction; (b) the
conveyance provided for
in Section 2.01 shall be deemed to be, and hereby is, (1) a
grant by the Company
to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the Company's
right, title and
interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the
following: (A)
the Mortgage Loans, including (i) with respect to each
Cooperative Loan, the
related Mortgage Note, Security Agreement, Assignment of
Proprietary Lease,
Cooperative Stock Certificate and Cooperative Lease, (ii) with
respect to each
Mortgage Loan other than a Cooperative Loan, the related
Mortgage Note and
Mortgage, and (iii) any insurance policies and all other
documents in the
related Mortgage File, (B) all amounts payable pursuant to the
Mortgage Loans in
accordance with the terms thereof, (C) all proceeds of the
conversion, voluntary
or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments,
securities or other
property, including without limitation all amounts from time to
time held or
invested in the Payment Account or the Custodial Account,
whether in the form of
cash, instruments, securities or other property, (D) all
accounts, general
intangibles, chattel paper, instruments, documents, money,
deposit accounts,
goods, letters of credit, letter-of-credit rights, oil, gas, and
other minerals,
and investment property consisting of, arising from or relating
to any of the
foregoing, and (E) all proceeds of the foregoing, and (2) an
assignment by the
Company to the Trustee of any security interest in any and all
of the Seller's
right (including the power to convey title thereto), title and
interest, whether
now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the property
described in the
foregoing clauses (1)(A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) granted by the
Seller to the
Company pursuant to the Purchase Agreement; (c) the possession
by the Trustee,
the Custodian or any other agent of the Trustee of any of the
foregoing property
shall be deemed to be possession by the secured party, or
possession by a
purchaser or a person holding for the benefit of such secured
party, for
purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the
Pennsylvania
Uniform Commercial Code and the Uniform Commercial Code of any
other applicable
jurisdiction (including, without limitation, Sections 9-313 and
9-314 thereof);
and (d) notifications to persons holding such property, and
acknowledgments,
receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property,
shall be deemed
notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from, securities
intermediaries, bailees or agents of, or persons holding for,
the Trustee (as
applicable) for the purpose of perfecting such security interest
under
applicable law.
The Company and, at the Company's direction, GMACM and the
Trustee
shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such
reasonable
actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement
were determined to
create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the other
property
described above, such security interest would be determined to
be a perfected
security interest of first priority under applicable law and
will be maintained
as such throughout the term of this Agreement. Without limiting
the generality
of the foregoing, the Company shall prepare and deliver to the
Trustee not less
than 15 days prior to any filing date and, the Trustee shall
forward for filing,
or shall cause to be forwarded for filing, at the expense of the
Company, all
filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original
filings
necessary under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any
jurisdiction to
perfect the Trustee's security interest in the Mortgage Loans,
as evidenced by
an Officer's Certificate of the Company, including without
limitation (x)
continuation statements, and (y) such other statements as may be
occasioned by
(1) any change of name of the Seller, the Company or the Trustee
(such
preparation and filing shall be at the expense of the Trustee,
if occasioned by
a change in the Trustee's name), (2) any change of type or
jurisdiction of
organization of the Seller or the Company and (3) any transfer
of any interest
of the Seller or the Company in any Mortgage Loan. The Company
shall file or
cause to be filed the original filing necessary under the
Uniform Commercial
Code to perfect the Trustee's security interest in the Mortgage
Loans.
Section 2.02. Acceptance by Trustee.
45
<PAGE>
The Trustee acknowledges that the Custodian, acting on behalf of
the
Trustee, has received (subject to any exceptions noted in the
custodian
certification described below) the Mortgage Notes and the
Trustee declares that
it holds or will hold the assets included in the definition of
"Trust Fund," in
trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and
future
Certificateholders.
The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders,
to cause
the Custodian to review each Mortgage Note and to execute and
deliver, or cause
to be executed and delivered, to GMACM, the Trustee and the
Servicer a custodian
certification substantially in the form annexed hereto as
Exhibit M on or prior
to the Closing Date. Pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, in
conducting such
review, the Custodian is required to ascertain whether the
Mortgage Notes have
been executed and received, and whether the Mortgage Notes
relate, determined on
the basis of the original principal balance and loan number, to
the Mortgage
Loans. Neither the Custodian nor the Trustee shall be under any
duty or
obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents,
instruments,
certificates or other papers to determine that the same are
genuine, enforceable
or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have
actually been
recorded, or are in recordable form or that they are other than
what they
purport to be on their face.
If, in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Notes and preparing
the
certifications referred to above, the Custodian finds any
Mortgage Note to be
missing or contains any defect which materially and adversely
affects the
interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage
Loan, the Custodian
is required pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, to notify the
Trustee, the
Company and the Seller, and the Trustee shall request that GMACM
cure any such
defect in all material respects within 90 days from the date on
which GMACM was
notified of such defect, and if GMACM does not cure such defect
in all material
respects during such period, the Trustee shall request on behalf
of the
Certificateholders that GMACM either (i) substitute for such
Mortgage Loan a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be
accomplished in
the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section
2.04, or (ii)
purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase
Price within 90
days after the date on which GMACM was notified of such defect;
provided that if
such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a
"qualified
mortgage" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such
cure,
substitution or repurchase must occur within 90 days from the
date such breach
was discovered. It is understood and agreed that the obligation
of GMACM to cure
a material defect in, or substitute for, or purchase any
Mortgage Loan as to
which a material defect in, or omission of, a Mortgage Note
exists shall
constitute the sole remedy respecting such material defect or
omission available
to Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of
Certificateholders. The
Purchase Price for the purchased Mortgage Loan shall be
deposited or caused to
be deposited upon receipt by the Trustee in the Payment Account,
or upon receipt
by the Servicer in the Custodial Account. Upon receipt by the
Trustee of written
notification of such deposit signed by a Servicing Officer, the
Trustee shall
(i) release or cause to be released to GMACM the related
Mortgage Note, (ii)
cause the Servicer to release to GMACM any remaining documents
in the related
Mortgage File which are held by the Servicer, and (iii) execute
and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse,
representation or warranty, as GMACM shall require as necessary
to vest in GMACM
ownership of any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and at
such time the
Trustee shall have no further responsibility with respect to the
related
Mortgage Note.
Section 2.03. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the
Servicer.
The Servicer hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee for
the
benefit of the Certificateholders that:
(i) The Servicer is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing
and in good standing under the laws governing its creation
and
existence and is or will be in compliance with the laws of
each
state in which any Mortgaged Property is located to the
extent
necessary to ensure the enforceability of each Mortgage Loan
in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
46
<PAGE>
(ii) 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 Incorporation
or
Bylaws or constitute a material default (or an event which,
with
notice or lapse of time, would constitute a material
default)
under, or result in the material 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;
(iii) This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution
and
delivery by the Trustee and the Company, 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 and to public policy as it relates to
indemnification
and contribution under applicable securities laws;
(iv) 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
materially adversely affect its performance hereunder;
(v) 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;
(vi) The Servicer will comply in all material respects in
the
performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and
requirements of each insurer under each Required Insurance
Policy;
(vii) No information, certificate of an officer, statement
furnished in
writing or report delivered to the Company, any Affiliate of
the
Company or the Trustee by the Servicer will, to the knowledge
of
the Servicer, contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or
omit a material fact necessary to make the information,
certificate, statement or report not misleading; and
(viii) The Servicer is a member of MERS in good standing, and
will
comply in all material respects with the rules and procedures
of
MERS in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans
that
are registered with MERS.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and
warranties set forth in
this Section 2.03 shall survive delivery of the respective
Mortgage Notes to the
Custodian, if any, or the Trustee.
Section 2.04. Representations and Warranties of the Seller.
The Company hereby assigns to the Trustee for the benefit of
Certificateholders all of its right, title and interest in
respect of the
Purchase Agreement insofar as the Purchase Agreement relates to
the
representations and warranties made by the Seller in respect of
the Mortgage
47
<PAGE>
Loans and any remedies provided thereunder for any breach of
such
representations and warranties, such right, title and interest
may be enforced
by the Servicer on behalf of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders. Upon the
discovery by the Company, the Servicer, the Trustee or any
Custodian of a breach
of any of the representations and warranties made by the Seller
in the Purchase
Agreement (which, for purposes hereof, will be deemed to include
any other cause
giving rise to a repurchase obligation under the Purchase
Agreement) in respect
of any Mortgage Loan which materially and adversely affects the
interests of the
Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering
such breach
shall give prompt written notice to the other parties (any
Custodian being so
obligated under a Custodial Agreement). The Servicer shall
promptly notify the
Seller of such breach and request that the Seller either (i)
cure such breach in
all material respects within 90 days from the date the Seller
was notified of
such breach or (ii) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust
Fund at the
Purchase Price and in the manner set forth in Section 2.02;
provided that in the
case of a breach under the Purchase Agreement, the Seller, shall
have the option
to substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans for
such Mortgage
Loan if such substitution occurs within two years following the
Closing Date;
provided that if the breach would cause the Mortgage Loan to be
other than a
"qualified mortgage" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the
Code, any such
cure, repurchase or substitution must occur within 90 days from
the date the
breach was discovered. In the event that the Seller elects to
substitute a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans for a Deleted
Mortgage Loan pursuant
to this Section 2.04, the Trustee shall notify the Seller to
deliver to the
Custodian with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans, the
original Mortgage Note endorsed as required by Section 2.01, and
the Trustee
shall notify the Seller to deliver to the Servicer with respect
to such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage, an Assignment
of the Mortgage
in recordable form if required pursuant to Section 2.01, and
such other
documents and agreements as are required to be held by the
Servicer pursuant to
Section 2.01. No substitution will be made in any calendar month
after the
Determination Date for such month. Monthly Payments due with
respect to
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution
shall not be
part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Servicer and
remitted by the
Servicer to the Seller on the next succeeding Distribution Date.
For the month
of substitution, distributions to the Certificateholders will
include the
Monthly Payment due on a Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month
and thereafter the
Seller shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in
respect of such
Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall amend or cause to be
amended the
Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders
to reflect the
removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of
the Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and the Servicer shall deliver
the amended
Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee. Upon such substitution,
the Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms
of this
Agreement and the related Subservicing Agreement in all
respects, and the Seller
shall be deemed to have made the representations and warranties
with respect to
the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan contained in the Purchase
Agreement as of
the date of substitution.
In connection with the substitution of one or more Qualified
Substitute
Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the
Servicer will
determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal
balance of all
such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of
substitution is less
than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Deleted
Mortgage Loans
(in each case after application of the principal portion of the
Monthly Payments
due in the month of substitution that are to be distributed to
the
Certificateholders in the month of substitution). The Servicer
shall deposit the
amount of such shortfall received from the Seller into the
Custodial Account on
the day of substitution. The Servicer shall give notice in
writing to the
Trustee of such event, which notice shall be accompanied by an
Officer's
Certificate as to the calculation of such shortfall and (subject
to Section
10.01(f)) by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
substitution will not
cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund,
including without
limitation, any federal tax imposed on "prohibited transactions"
under Section
860F(a)(1) of the Code or on "contributions after the startup
date" under
Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code or (b) any portion of either of
the REMICs to
fail to qualify as such at any time that any Certificate is
outstanding.
48
<PAGE>
It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to
cure
such breach or purchase (or to substitute for) such Mortgage
Loan as to which a
breach of its representations and warranties has occurred and is
continuing
shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach
available to the
Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of
Certificateholders. In connection
with the purchase of or substitution for any such Mortgage Loan
by the Seller,
the Trustee shall assign, pursuant to an assignment delivered to
the Trustee by
the Seller, to the Seller or its designee all of the right,
title and interest
in respect of the Purchase Agreement applicable to such Mortgage
Loan.
Section 2.05. Execution and Authentication of Certificates.
The Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the Mortgage
Loans and
the delivery of the Mortgage Notes to the Custodian on its
behalf, subject to
any exceptions noted, together with the assignment to it of all
other assets
included in the Trust Fund and/or the applicable REMIC, receipt
of which is
hereby acknowledged. Concurrently with such delivery and in
exchange therefor,
the Trustee, pursuant to the written request of the Company
executed by an
officer of the Company has executed and caused to be
authenticated and delivered
to or upon the order of the Company the Certificates in
authorized denominations
which evidence ownership of the entire Trust Fund.
Section 2.06. Purposes and Powers of the Trust Fund.
The purpose of the trust, as created hereunder, is to engage in
the
following activities:
(a) to sell the Certificates to the Company in exchange for the
Mortgage Loans;
(b) to enter into and perform its obligations under this
Agreement;
(c) to engage in those activities that are necessary, suitable
or convenient to
accomplish the foregoing or are incidental thereto or connected
therewith; and
(d) subject to compliance with this Agreement, to engage in such
other
activities as may be required in connection with conservation of
the Trust Fund
and the making of distributions to the Certificateholders.
The trust is hereby authorized to engage in the foregoing
activities.
The trust shall not engage in any activity other than in
connection with the
foregoing or other than as required or authorized by the terms
of this Agreement
while any Certificate is outstanding without the consent of
the
Certificateholders evidencing a majority of the aggregate Voting
Rights of the
Certificates.
ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 3.01. Servicer to Act as Servicer.
(a) The Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans
in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement and the respective Mortgage
Loans, shall follow
such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or
advisable and as
shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing
activities, and
shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through
Subservicers as
provided in Section 3.02, to do any and all things which it may
deem necessary
49
<PAGE>
or desirable in connection with such servicing and
administration. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer in its
own name or in the
name of a Subservicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the
Trustee when the
Servicer or the Subservicer, 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, or of
consent to
assumption or modification in connection with a proposed
conveyance, or of
assignment of any Mortgage and Mortgage Note in connection with
the repurchase
of a Mortgage Loan and all other comparable instruments, or with
respect to the
modification or re-recording of a Mortgage for the purpose of
correcting the
Mortgage, the subordination of the lien of the Mortgage in favor
of a public
utility company or government agency or unit with powers of
eminent domain, the
taking of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the commencement,
prosecution or
completion of judicial or non-judicial foreclosure, the
conveyance of a
Mortgaged Property to the related Insurer, the acquisition of
any property
acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, or the
management,
marketing and conveyance of any property acquired by foreclosure
or deed in lieu
of foreclosure with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with
respect to the
Mortgaged Properties. The Servicer further is authorized and
empowered by the
Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, in
its own name or
in the name of the Subservicer, when the Servicer or the
Subservicer, as the
case may be, believes it appropriate in its best judgment to
register any
Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R) System, or cause the removal from
the registration
of anY Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R) System, to execute and
deliver, on behalf of
the Trustee and thE Certificateholders or any of them, any and
all instruments
of assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to
such assignment
or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as
nominee for the
Trustee and its successors and assigns. Any expenses incurred in
connection with
the actions described in the preceding sentence shall be borne
by the Servicer
in accordance with Section 3.16(c), with no right of
reimbursement; provided,
that if, as a result of MERS discontinuing or becoming unable to
continue
operations in connection with the MERS System, it becomes
necessary to remove
any Mortgage Loan from registration on the MERS System and to
arrange for the
assignment of the related Mortgages to the Trustee, then any
related expenses
shall be reimbursable to the Servicer. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, subject to
Section 3.07(a), the Servicer shall not permit any modification
with respect to
any Mortgage Loan that would both constitute a sale or exchange
of such Mortgage
Loan within the meaning of Section 1001 of the Code and any
proposed, temporary
or final regulations promulgated thereunder (other than in
connection with a
proposed conveyance or assumption of such Mortgage Loan that is
treated as a
Principal Prepayment in Full pursuant to Section 3.13(d) hereof)
and cause any
REMIC formed under this Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC
under the Code.
Upon request, the Trustee shall furnish the Servicer with any
powers of attorney
and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the
Servicer to service
and administer the Mortgage Loans. The Trustee shall not be
liable for any
action taken by the Servicer or any Subservicer pursuant to such
powers of
attorney. In connection with servicing and administering the
Mortgage Loans, the
Servicer and any Affiliate of the Servicer (i) may perform
services such as
appraisals and brokerage services that are not customarily
provided by servicers
of mortgage loans, and shall be entitled to reasonable
compensation therefor in
accordance with Section 3.10 and (ii) may, at its own discretion
and on behalf
of the Trustee, obtain credit information in the form of a
"credit score" from a
credit repository.
(b) All costs incurred by the Servicer or by Subservicers in
effecting the
timely payment of taxes and assessments on the properties
subject to the
Mortgage Loans shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly
distributions
to the Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under
the related
Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage
Loan so permit,
and such costs shall be recoverable to the extent permitted by
Section
3.10(a)(ii).

(c) The Servicer may enter into one or more agreements in
connection with the
offering of pass-through certificates evidencing interests in
one or more of the
Certificates providing for the payment by the Servicer of
amounts received by
the Servicer as servicing compensation hereunder and required to
cover certain
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls on the Mortgage Loans, which
payment obligation
will thereafter be an obligation of the Servicer hereunder.
Section 3.02. Subservicing Agreements Between Servicer and
Subservicers; Enforcement of Subservicers' and Seller's
Obligations.
The Servicer may enter into Subservicing Agreements with
Subservicers,
for the servicing and administration of all or some of the
Mortgage Loans. Each
Subservicer of a Mortgage Loan shall be entitled to receive and
retain, as
provided in the related Subservicing Agreement and in Section
3.07, the related
Subservicing Fee from payments of interest received on such
Mortgage Loan after
payment of all amounts required to be remitted to the Servicer
in respect of
such Mortgage Loan. Any Subservicing Fee shall be paid by the
Servicer out of
the Servicing Fee for the related Mortgage Loans. Unless the
context otherwise
requires, references in this Agreement to actions taken or to be
taken by the
Servicer in servicing the Mortgage Loans include actions taken
or to be taken by
a Subservicer on behalf of the Servicer.
Section 3.03. Successor Subservicers.
The Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing
Agreement
that may exist in accordance with the terms and conditions of
such Subservicing
Agreement and without any limitation by virtue of this
Agreement; provided,
however, that in the event of termination of any Subservicing
Agreement by the
Servicer or the Subservicer, the Servicer shall either act as
servicer of the
related Mortgage Loan or enter into a Subservicing Agreement
with a successor
Subservicer which will be bound by the terms of the related
Subservicing
Agreement.
Section 3.04. Liability of the Servicer.
Notwithstanding any Subservicing Agreement, any of the
provisions of
this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between
the Servicer or a
Subservicer or reference to actions taken through a Subservicer
or otherwise,
the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Trustee
and the
Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the
Mortgage Loans in
accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01 without
diminution of such
obligation or liability by virtue of such Subservicing
Agreements or
arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the
Subservicer or the Company
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 Subservicer
or the Seller
for indemnification of the Servicer and nothing contained in
this Agreement
shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.
Section 3.05. No Contractual Relationship Between Subservicer
and Trustee or
Certificateholders.
Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any
other
transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans
involving a Subservicer
in its capacity as such and not as an originator shall be deemed
to be between
the Subservicer and the Servicer alone and the Trustee and
the
Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall
have no claims,
rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the
Subservicer in
its capacity as such except as set forth in Section 3.06.
51
<PAGE>
Section 3.06. Assumption or Termination of Subservicing
Agreements by Trustee.
(a) If the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the
servicer (including by
reason of an Event of Default), the Trustee, its designee or its
successor shall
thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the
Servicer under each
Subservicing Agreement that may have been entered into. The
Trustee, its
designee or the successor servicer for the Trustee shall be
deemed to have
assumed all of the Servicer's interest therein and to have
replaced the Servicer
as a party to the Subservicing Agreement to the same extent as
if the
Subservicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party
except that the
Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or
obligations under the
Subservicing Agreement.
(b) The Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee but at the
expense of the
Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and
records relating to
each Subservicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being
serviced and an
accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use
its reasonable
efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of each
Subservicing
Agreement to the assuming party.
Section 3.07. Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments;
Deposits to
Custodial Account.
(a) The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all
payments called
for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and
shall, to the
extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement
and the terms and
provisions of any related Primary Insurance Policy, follow such
collection
procedures as it would employ in its good faith business
judgment and which are
normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities.
Consistent with
the foregoing, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any
late payment
charge or any prepayment charge or penalty interest in
connection with the
prepayment of a Mortgage Loan and (ii) extend the Due Date for
payments due on a
Mortgage Note for a period not greater than 180 days; provided,
however, that
the Servicer shall first determine that any such waiver or
extension will not
impair the coverage of any related Primary Insurance Policy or
materially
adversely affect the lien of the related Mortgage. In the event
of any such
arrangement, the Servicer shall make timely advances on the
related Mortgage
Loan during the scheduled period in accordance with the
amortization schedule of
such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of
such arrangements
unless otherwise agreed to by the Holders of the Classes of
Certificates
affected thereby; provided, however, that no such extension
shall be made if any
such advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Consistent with
the terms of
this Agreement, the Servicer may also waive, modify or vary any
term of any
Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict
compliance with any such
term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in
the Servicer's
determination such waiver, modification, postponement or
indulgence is not
materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders
(taking into
account any estimated Realized Loss that might result absent
such action);
provided, however, that the Servicer may not modify materially
or permit any
Subservicer to modify any Mortgage Loan, including without
limitation any
modification that would change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the
payment of any
principal or interest (unless in connection with the liquidation
of the related
Mortgage Loan or except in connection with prepayments to the
extent that such
reamortization is not inconsistent with the terms of the
Mortgage Loan), or
extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan, unless
such Mortgage Loan
is in default or, in the judgment of the Servicer, such default
is reasonably
foreseeable; and provided, further, that no such modification
shall reduce the
interest rate on a Mortgage Loan below the Servicing Fee Rate.
In connection
with any Curtailment of a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer, to the
extent not
inconsistent with the terms of the Mortgage Note and local law
and practice, may
permit the Mortgage Loan to be reamortized such that the Monthly
Payment is
recalculated as an amount that will fully amortize the remaining
Stated
Principal Balance thereof by the original Maturity Date based on
the original
Mortgage Rate; provided, that such re-amortization shall not be
permitted if it
52
<PAGE>
would constitute a reissuance of the Mortgage Loan for federal
income tax
purposes, except if such reissuance is described in Treasury
Regulation Section
1.860G-2(b)(3). The Servicer shall not be required to institute
or join in
litigation with respect to collection of any payment (whether
under a Mortgage,
Mortgage Note or otherwise or against any public or governmental
authority with
respect to a taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes
that enforcing
the provision of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to
which such payment
is required is prohibited by applicable law.
(b) The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected
and received
pursuant to each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of
its own funds and
general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more
Custodial Accounts
held in trust, entitled "GMAC Mortgage Corporation Custodial
Account in trust
for the benefit of the Holders of GMACM Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates,
Series 2005-AR2." Each Custodial Account shall be an Eligible
Account. The
Custodial Account shall be maintained as a segregated account,
separate and
apart from trust funds created for mortgage pass-through
certificates of other
series, and the other accounts of the Servicer.
Within two Business Days of receipt, except as otherwise
specifically
provided herein, the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be
deposited the
following payments and collections remitted by subservicers or
received by it in
respect of the Mortgage Loans subsequent to the Cut-off Date
(other than in
respect of principal and interest due on such Mortgage Loans on
or before the
Cut-off Date) and the following amounts required to be deposited
hereunder:
(i) All payments on account of principal, including
Principal
Prepayments made by Mortgagors on the Mortgage Loans and the
principal component of any Subservicer Advance or of any REO
Proceeds received in connection with an REO Property for which
an
REO Disposition has occurred;
(ii) All payments on account of interest at the Net Mortgage
Rate on
the Mortgage Loans, and the interest component of any
Subservicer
Advance or of any REO Proceeds received in connection with an
REO
Property for which an REO Disposition has occurred, minus
the
amount of any interest paid by a Mortgagor in connection with
a
Principal Prepayment in Full for the calendar month in which
such
Principal Prepayment is to be distributed pursuant to
Section
4.02;
(iii) Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and
Liquidation
Proceeds (net of any related expenses of the Subservicer);
(iv) All proceeds of any Mortgage Loans purchased pursuant to
Section
2.02, 2.04 or 4.07 and all amounts required to be deposited
in
connection with the substitution of a Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.04;
(v) Any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section
3.07(c);
and
(vi) All amounts transferred from the Payment Account to the
Custodial
Account in accordance with Section 4.02(a).
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account
shall be
exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting
the generality
of the foregoing, payments on the Mortgage Loans which are not
part of the Trust
Fund (consisting of payments in respect of principal and
interest on the
Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date) and payments
or collections in
the nature of prepayment charges or late payment charges or
assumption fees may
but need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Custodial
Account. In the event
any amount not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account
is so
deposited, the Servicer may at any time withdraw such amount
from the Custodial
Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
The Servicer
shall maintain records with respect to all deposits made
pursuant to this
Section. All funds deposited in the Custodial Account shall be
held in trust for
the Certificateholders until withdrawn in accordance with
Section 3.10.
53
<PAGE>
With respect to Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds, REO
Proceeds
and the proceeds of the purchase of any Mortgage Loan pursuant
to Sections 2.02,
2.04 and 4.07 received in any calendar month, the Servicer may
elect to treat
such amounts as included in the Available Distribution Amount
for the
Distribution Date in the month of receipt, but is not obligated
to do so. If the
Servicer so elects, such amounts will be deemed to have been
received (and any
related Realized Loss shall be deemed to have occurred) on the
last day of the
month prior to the receipt thereof.
(c) The Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
cause the
institution maintaining the Custodial Account to invest the
funds in the
Custodial Account attributable to the Mortgage Loans in
Permitted Investments
which shall mature not later than the Payment Account Deposit
Date next
following the date of such investment (with the exception of the
Amount Held for
Future Distribution) and which shall not be sold or disposed of
prior to their
maturities. All income and gain realized from any such
investment shall be for
the benefit of the Servicer as additional servicing 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 attributable to the
investment of
amounts in respect of the Mortgage Loans shall be deposited in
the Custodial
Account by the Servicer out of its own funds immediately as
realized without any
right of reimbursement.
Section 3.08. Subservicing Accounts; Servicing Accounts.
(a) In those cases where a Subservicer is servicing a Mortgage
Loan pursuant to
a Subservicing Agreement, the Servicer shall cause the
Subservicer, pursuant to
the Subservicing Agreement, to establish and maintain one or
more Subservicing
Accounts which shall be an Eligible Account or, if such account
is not an
Eligible Account, shall be acceptable to the Servicer and each
Rating Agency.
The Subservicer will be required thereby to deposit into the
Subservicing
Account on a daily basis all proceeds of Mortgage Loans received
by the
Subservicer, less its Subservicing Fees and unreimbursed
advances and expenses,
to the extent permitted by the Subservicing Agreement. If the
Subservicing
Account is not an Eligible Account, the Servicer shall be deemed
to have
received such monies upon receipt thereof by the Subservicer.
The Subservicer
shall not be required to deposit in the Subservicing Account
payments or
collections in the nature of prepayment charges or late charges
or assumption
fees. On or before each Determination Date, the Servicer shall
cause the
Subservicer, pursuant to the Subservicing Agreement, to remit to
the Servicer
for deposit in the Custodial Account all funds held in the
Subservicing Account
with respect to each Mortgage Loan serviced by such Subservicer
that are
required to be remitted to the Servicer.
(b) In addition to the Custodial Account and the Payment
Account, the Servicer
shall for any Nonsubserviced Mortgage Loan, and shall cause the
Subservicers for
Subserviced Mortgage Loans to, establish and maintain one or
more Servicing
Accounts and deposit and retain therein all collections from the
Mortgagors (or
advances from Subservicers) for the payment of taxes,
assessments, hazard
insurance premiums, Primary Insurance Policy premiums, if
applicable, or
comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors. Each
Servicing Account shall
be hold in trust, entitled "GMAC Mortgage Corporation Servicing
Account in trust
for the benefit of the of the Holders of GMACM Mortgage
Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2005-AR2." Withdrawals of amounts related
to the Mortgage
Loans from the Servicing Accounts may be made only to effect
timely payment of
taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, Primary Insurance
Policy
premiums, if applicable, or comparable items, to reimburse the
Servicer or
Subservicer out of related collections for any payments made
pursuant to
Sections 3.11 (with respect to the Primary Insurance Policy) and
3.12(a) (with
respect to hazard insurance), to refund to any Mortgagors any
sums as may be
54
<PAGE>
determined to be overages, to pay interest, if required, to
Mortgagors on
balances in the Servicing Account or to clear and terminate the
Servicing
Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with
Section 9.01. As
part of its servicing duties, the Servicer shall, and the
Subservicers will,
pursuant to the Subservicing Agreements, be required to pay to
the Mortgagors
interest on funds in this account to the extent required by
law.
(c) The Servicer shall advance the payments referred to in the
preceding
subsection that are not timely paid by the Mortgagors or
advanced by the
Subservicers on the date when the tax, premium or other cost for
which such
payment is intended is due, but the Servicer shall be required
so to advance
only to the extent that such advances, in the good faith
judgment of the
Servicer, will be recoverable by the Servicer out of Insurance
Proceeds,
Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise.
Section 3.09. Access to Certain Documentation and Information
Regarding the
Mortgage Loans.
If compliance with this Section 3.09 shall make any Class of
Certificates legal for investment by federally insured savings
and loan
associations, the Servicer shall provide, or cause the
Subservicers to provide,
to the Trustee, the Office of Thrift Supervision or the FDIC and
the supervisory
agents and examiners thereof access to the documentation
regarding the Mortgage
Loans required by applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift
Supervision,
such access being afforded without charge but only upon
reasonable request and
during normal business hours at the offices designated by the
Servicer. The
Servicer shall permit such representatives to photocopy any such
documentation
and shall provide equipment for that purpose at a charge
reasonably
approximating the cost of such photocopying to the Servicer.
Section 3.10. Permitted Withdrawals from the Custodial
Account.
(a) The Servicer may, from time to time as provided herein,
make
withdrawals from the Custodial Account of amounts on deposit
therein pursuant to Section 3.07 that are attributable to
the
Mortgage Loans for the following purposes:
(i) to make deposits into the Payment Account in the amounts and
in
the manner provided for in Section 4.01;
(ii) to reimburse itself or the related Subservicer for
previously
unreimbursed advances or expenses made pursuant to Sections
3.01, 3.07(a), 3.08, 3.11, 3.12(a), 3.14 and 4.04 or
otherwise
reimbursable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, such
withdrawal right being limited to amounts received on
particular
Mortgage Loans (including, for this purpose, REO Proceeds,
Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds and proceeds from
the
purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.04
or
4.07) which represent (A) Late Collections of Monthly
Payments
for which any such advance was made in the case of
Subservicer
Advances or Advances pursuant to Section 4.04 and (B)
recoveries
of amounts in respect of which such advances were made in
the
case of Servicing Advances;
(iii) to pay to itself or the related Subservicer (if not
previously
retained by such Subservicer) out of each payment received
by
the Servicer on account of interest on a Mortgage Loan as
contemplated by Sections 3.14 and 3.16, an amount equal to
that
remaining portion of any such payment as to interest (but not
in
excess of the Servicing Fee and the Subservicing Fee, if not
previously retained) which, when deducted, will result in
the
remaining amount of such interest being interest at the Net
Mortgage Rate (or Modified Net Mortgage Rate in the case of
a
Modified Mortgage Loan) on the amount specified in the
amortization schedule of the related Mortgage Loan as the
principal balance thereof at the beginning of the period
respecting which such interest was paid after giving effect
to
any previous Curtailments;
55
<PAGE>
(iv) to pay to itself as additional servicing compensation
any
interest or investment income earned on funds and other
property
deposited in or credited to the Custodial Account that it is
entitled to withdraw pursuant to Section 3.07(c);
(v) to pay to itself as additional servicing compensation
any
Foreclosure Profits, and any amounts remitted by Subservicers
or
received from Mortgagors as interest in respect of
Curtailments;
(vi) to pay the Seller, with respect to each Mortgage Loan or
property
acquired in respect thereof that has been purchased or
otherwise
transferred pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.04, 4.07 or 9.01,
all
amounts received thereon and not required to be distributed
to
the Certificateholders as of the date on which the related
Stated
Principal Balance or Purchase Price is determined;
(vii) to reimburse itself or the related Subservicer for any
Nonrecoverable Advance or any Advance that was ultimately
determined to be Excess Special Hazard Losses, Excess Fraud
Losses, Excess Bankruptcy Losses or Extraordinary Losses in
the
manner and to the extent provided in subsection (c) below,
any
Advance made in connection with a modification of a Mortgage
Loan that is in default or, in the judgment of the Servicer,
default is reasonably foreseeable pursuant to Section
3.07(a),
to the extent the amount of the Advance has been added to
the
outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, or any
Advance reimbursable to the Servicer pursuant to Section
4.02(a);
(viii) to reimburse itself or the Company for expenses incurred
by and
reimbursable to it or the Company pursuant to Sections
3.01(a),
3.01(b), 3.11, 3.13, 3.14(c), 6.03, 10.01 or otherwise;
(ix) to reimburse itself for Servicing Advances expended by it
(a)
pursuant to Section 3.14 in good faith in connection with
the
restoration of property damaged by an Uninsured Cause, and (b)
in
connection with the liquidation of a Mortgage Loan or
disposition
of an REO Property to the extent not otherwise reimbursed
pursuant to clause (ii) or (viii) above; and
(x) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Custodial Account
that
was not required to be deposited therein pursuant to Section
3.07.
(b) Since, in connection with withdrawals pursuant to clauses
(ii),
(iii), (v) and (vi), the Servicer's entitlement thereto is
limited to collections or other recoveries on the related
Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall keep and maintain separate
accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for
the
purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Custodial
Account
pursuant to such clauses. All permitted withdrawals pursuant
to
clauses (iv), (vii), (viii) and (ix) shall be reimbursed
from
collections on the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group
or,
if such reimbursement is not attributable to a specific
Mortgage
Loan, shall be reimbursed from collections received on the
Mortgage Loans in each Loan Group, pro rata, based on the
Stated
Principal Balance of each such Loan Group.
(c) The Servicer shall be entitled to reimburse itself or the
related
Subservicer for any Advance made in respect of a Mortgage
Loan
that the Servicer determines to be a Nonrecoverable Advance or
an
Advance that was ultimately determined to be Excess Special
Hazard Losses, Excess Fraud Losses, Excess Bankruptcy Losses
or
Extraordinary Losses by withdrawal from the Custodial Account
of
56
<PAGE>
amounts on deposit therein attributable to the Mortgage Loans
on
any Payment Account Deposit Date succeeding the date of such
determination. Such right of reimbursement in respect of a
Nonrecoverable Advance on any such Payment Account Deposit
Date
shall be limited to an amount not exceeding the portion of
such
Advance previously paid to Certificateholders (and not
theretofore reimbursed to the Servicer or the related
Subservicer).
Section 3.11. Maintenance of the Primary Insurance Policies;
Collections
Thereunder.
(a) The Servicer shall not take, or permit any Subservicer to
take, any action
which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary
Insurance Policy
of any loss which, but for the actions of the Servicer or
Subservicer, would
have been covered thereunder. To the extent coverage is
available, the Servicer
shall keep or cause to be kept in full force and effect a
Primary Insurance
Policy in the case of each Mortgage Loan having a Loan-to-Value
Ratio at
origination in excess of 80%, until the principal balance of the
related
Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property is reduced to 80%
or less of the
appraised value based on the most recent appraisal of the
Mortgaged Property
performed by a qualified appraiser, such appraisal to be
included in the related
servicing file. The Servicer shall not cancel or refuse to renew
any such
Primary Insurance Policy applicable to a Nonsubserviced Mortgage
Loan, or
consent to any Subservicer canceling or refusing to renew any
such Primary
Insurance Policy applicable to a Mortgage Loan subserviced by
it, that is in
effect at the date of the initial issuance of the Certificates
and is required
to be kept in force hereunder unless the replacement Primary
Insurance Policy
for such canceled or non-renewed policy is maintained with an
insurer whose
claims-paying ability is acceptable to each Rating Agency for
mortgage
pass-through certificates having a rating equal to or better
than the lower of
the then-current rating or the rating assigned to the
Certificates as of the
Closing Date by such Rating Agency. In connection with any
assumption or
substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into
pursuant to Section
3.13, the Servicer shall promptly notify the insurer under the
related Primary
Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of
liability in
accordance with the terms of such policy and shall take all
actions which may be
required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of
coverage under
the Primary Insurance Policy. If such Primary Insurance Policy
is terminated as
a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the
Servicer shall
obtain a replacement Primary Insurance Policy as provided
above.
(b) In connection with its activities as administrator and
servicer of the
Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to present or to cause the
related
Subservicer to present, on behalf of the Servicer, the
Subservicer, if any, the
Trustee and Certificateholders, claims to the related Insurer
under any Primary
Insurance Policies, in a timely manner in accordance with such
policies, and, in
this regard, to take or cause to be taken such reasonable action
as shall be
necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Insurance
Policies respecting
defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to Section 3.07, any
Insurance Proceeds
collected by or remitted to the Servicer under any Primary
Insurance Policies
shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to
withdrawal pursuant to
Section 3.10.
Section 3.12. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance and Omissions and
Fidelity
Coverage.
(a) The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage
Loan (other than
a Cooperative Loan) hazard insurance with extended coverage in
an amount which
is equal to the lesser of (i) the greater of (A) the principal
balance owing on
such Mortgage Loan and (B) the percentage such that the proceeds
thereof shall
be sufficient to prevent the application of a co-insurance
clause; or (ii) 100
percent of the insurable value of the improvements. If the
Mortgaged Property is
in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal
Emergency
Management Agency as being a special flood hazard area that
has
federally-mandated flood insurance requirements, the Servicer
will cause to be
maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of
the current
guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a
generally acceptable
insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less
than the least of
(i) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii)
the maximum
insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan
or (iii) the
57
<PAGE>
maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood
Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, as amended. The Servicer shall also
cause to be
maintained on property acquired upon foreclosure, or deed in
lieu of
foreclosure, of any Mortgage Loan (other than a Cooperative
Loan), hazard
insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least
equal to the
maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of
such property,
liability insurance and, to the extent required and available
under the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in
an amount as
provided above. Pursuant to Section 3.07, any amounts collected
by the Servicer
under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the
restoration or
repair of the related Mortgaged Property or property thus
acquired or amounts
released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer's
normal servicing
procedures) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject
to withdrawal
pursuant to Section 3.10. Any cost incurred by the Servicer in
maintaining any
such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly
distributions
to the Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under
the Mortgage Loan,
notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit.
Such costs shall
be recoverable by the Servicer out of related late payments by
the Mortgagor,
out of Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds or from
amounts on deposit in
the Custodial Account to the extent permitted by Section 3.10.
It is understood
and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is
to be required of
any Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of a
Mortgage Loan
other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as
shall at any time
be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. All
such policies
shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss
payable to the
Servicer and its successors and/or assigns and shall provide for
at least thirty
days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the
amount or
material change in coverage to the Servicer. The Servicer shall
not interfere
with the Mortgagor's freedom of choice in selecting either his
insurance carrier
or agent, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not accept
any such
insurance policies from insurance companies unless such
companies currently
reflect a General Policy Rating in Best's Key Rating Guide
currently acceptable
to Fannie Mae and are licensed to do business in the state
wherein the property
subject to the policy is located.
If the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket hazard
insurance
policy with extended coverage insuring against hazard losses on
all of the
Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed to have
satisfied its
obligations as set forth in the first sentence of this Section
3.12(a), it being
understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible
clause, in which
case the Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have
been maintained
on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with the
first sentence of
this Section 3.12(a) and there shall have been a loss which
would have been
covered by such policy, deposit in the Payment Account the
amount not otherwise
payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible
clause. Any such
deposit by the Servicer shall be made on the Payment Account
Deposit Date next
preceding the Distribution Date which occurs in the month
following the month in
which payments under any such policy would have been deposited
in the Custodial
Account. In connection with its activities as administrator and
servicer of the
Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of
itself, the Trustee
and the Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket
policy.
(b) The Servicer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense
and keep in full
force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement a blanket
fidelity bond
and an errors and omissions insurance policy covering the
Servicer's officers
and employees and other persons acting on behalf of the Servicer
in connection
with its activities under this Agreement. The amount of
coverage, taken
together, shall be at least equal to the coverage that would be
required by
Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, with respect to the Servicer if the
Servicer were
servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans for Fannie Mae or
Freddie Mac. In
the event that any such bond or policy ceases to be in effect,
the Servicer
shall obtain a comparable replacement bond or policy from an
issuer or insurer,
as the case may be, meeting the requirements set forth
above.

Section 3.13. Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption
and
Modification Agreements; Certain Assignments.
(a) When any Mortgaged Property is conveyed by the Mortgagor,
the Servicer or
Subservicer, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance,
shall enforce
any due-on-sale clause contained in any Mortgage Note or
Mortgage, to the extent
permitted under applicable law and governmental regulations, but
only to the
extent that such enforcement will not adversely affect or
jeopardize coverage
under any Required Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Servicer
is not required to exercise such rights with respect to a
Mortgage Loan if the
Person to whom the related Mortgaged Property has been conveyed
or is proposed
to be conveyed satisfies the terms and conditions contained in
the Mortgage Note
and Mortgage related thereto and the consent of the mortgagee
under such
Mortgage Note or Mortgage is not otherwise so required under
such Mortgage Note
or Mortgage as a condition to such transfer. In the event that
the Servicer is
prohibited by law from enforcing any such due-on-sale clause, or
if coverage
under any Required Insurance Policy would be adversely affected,
or if
nonenforcement is otherwise permitted hereunder, the Servicer is
authorized,
subject to Section 3.13(b), to take or enter into an assumption
and modification
agreement from or with the person to whom such property has been
or is about to
be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under
the Mortgage
Note and, unless prohibited by applicable state law, the
Mortgagor remains
liable thereon, provided that the Mortgage Loan shall continue
to be covered (if
so covered before the Servicer enters such agreement) by the
applicable Required
Insurance Policies. The Servicer, subject to Section 3.13(b), is
also authorized
with the prior approval of the insurers under any Required
Insurance Policies to
enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such
Person, pursuant to
which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such
Person is
substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage
Note.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be deemed
to be in default
under this Section by reason of any transfer or assumption which
the Servicer
reasonably believes it is restricted by law from preventing, for
any reason
whatsoever.
(b) Subject to the Servicer's duty to enforce any due-on-sale
clause to the
extent set forth in Section 3.13(a), in any case in which a
Mortgaged Property
is to be conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor, and such Person is
to enter into
an assumption or modification agreement or supplement to the
Mortgage Note or
Mortgage which requires the signature of the Trustee, or if an
instrument of
release signed by the Trustee is required releasing the
Mortgagor from liability
on the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer is authorized, subject to the
requirements of
the sentence next following, to execute and deliver, on behalf
of the Trustee,
the assumption agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged
Property is to be
conveyed and such modification agreement or supplement to the
Mortgage Note or
Mortgage or other instruments as are reasonable or necessary to
carry out the
terms of the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise to comply
with any
applicable laws regarding assumptions or the transfer of the
Mortgaged Property
to such Person; provided, however, that in connection with any
such assumption,
no material term of the Mortgage Note may be changed. Upon
receipt of
appropriate instructions from the Servicer in accordance with
the foregoing, the
Trustee shall execute any necessary instruments for such
assumption or
substitution of liability delivered to it by the Servicer and as
directed in
writing by the Servicer. Upon the closing of the transactions
contemplated by
such documents, the Servicer shall cause the originals or true
and correct
copies of the assumption agreement, the release (if any), or the
modification or
supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage to be delivered to
the Trustee or
the Custodian and deposited with the Mortgage File for such
Mortgage Loan. Any
fee collected by the Servicer or such related Subservicer for
entering into an
assumption or substitution of liability agreement will be
retained by the
Servicer or such Subservicer as additional servicing
compensation.

<PAGE>
(c) The Servicer or the related Subservicer, as the case may be,
shall be
entitled to approve a request from a Mortgagor for a partial
release of the
related Mortgaged Property, the granting of an easement thereon
in favor of
another Person, any alteration or demolition of the related
Mortgaged Property
(or, with respect to a Cooperative Loan, the related Cooperative
Apartment)
without any right of reimbursement or other similar matters if
it has
determined, exercising its good faith business judgment in the
same manner as it
would if it were the owner of the related Mortgage Loan, that
the security for,
and the timely and full collectability of, such Mortgage Loan
would not be
adversely affected thereby and if it has also determined that
any portion of the
applicable REMIC would not fail to continue to qualify as a
REMIC under the Code
as a result thereof and (subject to Section 10.01(f)) that no
tax on "prohibited
transactions" or "contributions" after the startup day would be
imposed on such
REMIC as a result thereof. Any fee collected by the Servicer or
the related
Subservicer for processing such a request will be retained by
the Servicer or
such Subservicer as additional servicing compensation.
(d) Subject to any other applicable terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the
Trustee and Servicer shall be entitled to approve an assignment
in lieu of
satisfaction with respect to any Mortgage Loan, provided the
obligee with
respect to such Mortgage Loan following such proposed assignment
provides the
Trustee and Servicer with a "Lender Certification for Assignment
of Mortgage
Loan" in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K, in form and
substance
satisfactory to the Trustee and Servicer, providing the
following: (i) that the
substance of the assignment is, and is intended to be, a
refinancing of such
Mortgage; (ii) that the Mortgage Loan following the proposed
assignment will
have a rate of interest at least 0.25 percent below or above the
rate of
interest on such Mortgage Loan prior to such proposed
assignment; and (iii) that
such assignment is at the request of the borrower under the
related Mortgage
Loan. Upon approval of an assignment in lieu of satisfaction
with respect to any
Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall receive cash in an amount
equal to the unpaid
principal balance of and accrued interest on such Mortgage Loan
and the Servicer
shall treat such amount as a Principal Prepayment in Full with
respect to such
Mortgage Loan for all purposes hereof.
(e) Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer
may modify any
Mortgage Loan to provide for bi-weekly payments in connection
with its "Bi-Saver
Program" if requested to do so from the related Mortgagor;
provided, however,
that the Servicer may not modify or permit any Subservicer to
modify any
Mortgage Loan in accordance with this clause (e), if such
Mortgage Loan is in
default or, in the judgment of the Servicer, such default is
reasonably
foreseeable; and provided, further, that upon such modification,
the Servicer
shall purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee at the
Purchase Price
therefor. If at any time the Servicer makes a payment to the
Payment Account
covering the amount of the Purchase Price for such a Mortgage
Loan, and the
Servicer provides to the Trustee a certification signed by a
Servicing Officer
stating that the amount of such payment has been deposited in
the Payment
Account, then the Trustee shall execute the assignment of such
Mortgage Loan
delivered to it by the Servicer at the request of the Servicer,
without recourse
to or representation or warranty by the Trustee, to the
Servicer, which shall
succeed to all the Trustee's right, title and interest in and to
such Mortgage
Loan, and all security and documents relative thereto. Such
assignment shall be
an assignment outright and not for security. The Servicer shall
thereupon own
such Mortgage, and all such security and documents, free of any
further
obligation to the Trustee or the Certificateholders with respect
thereto.
Section 3.14. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Servicer shall foreclose upon or otherwise comparably
convert (which may
include an REO Acquisition) the ownership of properties securing
such of the
Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to
which no
satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of
delinquent payments
pursuant to Section 3.07. In connection with such foreclosure or
other
conversion, the Servicer shall, consistent with Section 3.11,
follow such
practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or
advisable, as shall be
normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities,
as shall meet the
requirements of the Insurer under any Required Insurance Policy,
and as shall be
consistent with the provisions of this Agreement. With respect
to any REO
Property, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the
name of the
Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, or its
nominee, on behalf of
the Certificateholders. If the Trustee's name is placed on the
title to such REO
60
<PAGE>
Property, it shall be solely as the Trustee hereunder and not in
its individual
capacity. The Servicer shall ensure that the title to such REO
Property
references this Agreement and the Trustee's capacity thereunder.
The Servicer,
however, shall not be required to expend its own funds or incur
other
reimbursable charges in connection with any foreclosure, or
attempted
foreclosure which is not completed, or towards the restoration
of any property
unless it shall determine (i) that such restoration and/or
foreclosure will
increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan to
Holders of
Certificates of one or more Classes after reimbursement to
itself for such
expenses or charges and (ii) that such expenses or charges will
be recoverable
to it through Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, or REO
Proceeds
(respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of
withdrawals from the
Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.10, whether or not such
expenses and
charges are actually recoverable from related Liquidation
Proceeds, Insurance
Proceeds or REO Proceeds). In the event of such a determination
by the Servicer
pursuant to this Section 3.14(a), the Servicer shall be entitled
to
reimbursement of such amounts pursuant to Section 3.10. If the
Servicer has
knowledge that a Mortgaged Property which the Servicer is
contemplating
acquiring in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is
located within a
one (1) mile radius of any site listed in the Expenditure Plan
for the Hazardous
Substance Clean Up Bond Act of 1984 or other site with
environmental or
hazardous waste risks known to the Servicer, the Servicer will,
prior to
acquiring the Mortgaged Property, consider such risks and only
take action in
accordance with its established environmental review
procedures.
The Servicer shall, either itself or through an agent selected
by the
Servicer, and in accordance with the Fannie Mae guidelines,
manage, conserve,
protect and operate each REO Property in the same manner that it
manages,
conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for
its own account,
and in the same manner that similar property in the same
locality as the REO
Property is managed. Each disposition of REO Property shall be
carried out by
the Servicer at such price and upon such terms and conditions as
the Servicer
deems to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders.
Upon the occurrence of a Cash Liquidation or REO Disposition,
following
the deposit in the Custodial Account of all Insurance Proceeds,
Liquidation
Proceeds and other payments and recoveries referred to in the
definition of
"Cash Liquidation" or "REO Disposition," as applicable, upon
receipt by the
Trustee of written notification of such deposit signed by a
Servicing Officer,
the Trustee or any Custodian, as the case may be, shall release
to the Servicer
the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and
deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Servicer,
in each case
without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Servicer
or its designee,
as the case may be, the related Mortgage Loan, and thereafter
such Mortgage Loan
shall not be part of the Trust Fund. Notwithstanding the
foregoing or any other
provision of this Agreement, in the Servicer's sole discretion
with respect to
any defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property as to either of the
following
provisions, (i) a Cash Liquidation or REO Disposition may be
deemed to have
occurred if substantially all amounts expected by the Servicer
to be received in
connection with the related defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO
Property have been
received, and (ii) for purposes of determining the amount of any
Liquidation
Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, REO Proceeds or any other
unscheduled collections
or the amount of any Realized Loss, the Servicer may take into
account minimal
amounts of additional receipts expected to be received or any
estimated
additional liquidation expenses expected to be incurred in
connection with the
related defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property.
(b) If title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired by the Trust
Fund as an REO
Property by foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the
deed or
certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee or to its
nominee on behalf
of Certificateholders. Notwithstanding any such acquisition of
title and
cancellation of the related Mortgage Loan, such REO Property
shall (except as
otherwise expressly provided herein) be considered to be an
Outstanding Mortgage
Loan held in the Trust Fund until such time as the REO Property
shall be sold.
Consistent with the foregoing for purposes of all calculations
hereunder so long
as such REO Property shall be considered to be an Outstanding
Mortgage Loan it
shall be assumed that, notwithstanding that the indebtedness
evidenced by the
61
<PAGE>
related Mortgage Note shall have been discharged, such Mortgage
Note and the
related amortization schedule in effect at the time of any such
acquisition of
title (after giving effect to any previous Curtailments and
before any
adjustment thereto by reason of any bankruptcy or similar
proceeding or any
moratorium or similar waiver or grace period) remain in effect.
To the extent
the net income received during any calendar month is in excess
of the amount
attributable to amortizing principal and accrued interest at the
related
Mortgage Rate on the related Mortgage Loan for such calendar
month, such excess
shall be considered to be a Curtailment of the related Mortgage
Loan.
(c) If the Trust Fund acquires any REO Property as aforesaid or
otherwise in
connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage
Loan, the Servicer
on behalf of the Trust Fund shall dispose of such REO Property
within three full
years after the taxable year of its acquisition by the Trust
Fund for purposes
of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (or such shorter period as may
be necessary
under applicable state (including any state in which such
property is located)
law to maintain the status of any portion of the applicable
REMIC as a REMIC
under applicable state law and avoid taxes resulting from such
property failing
to be foreclosure property under applicable state law) or, at
the expense of the
Trust Fund, request, more than 60 days before the day on which
such grace period
would otherwise expire, an extension of such grace period unless
the Servicer
(subject to Section 10.01(f)) obtains for the Trustee an Opinion
of Counsel,
addressed to the Trustee and the Servicer, to the effect that
the holding by the
Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to such period will
not result in the
imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" as defined in
Section 860F of
the Code or cause the applicable REMIC to fail to qualify as a
REMIC (for
federal (or any applicable State or local) income tax purposes)
at any time that
any Certificates are outstanding, in which case the Trust Fund
may continue to
hold such REO Property (subject to any conditions contained in
such Opinion of
Counsel). The Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from
the Custodial
Account for any costs incurred in obtaining such Opinion of
Counsel, as provided
in Section 3.10. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, no REO
Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or all
