THIS POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of December 1, 2004 (this “ Agreement ”), among BELLAVISTA FUNDING CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, as depositor (the “ Depositor ”), COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS SERVICING LP, as master servicer (in such capacity, the “ Master Servicer ”), and THE BANK OF NEW YORK, a banking corporation organized under the laws of the State of New York, as trustee (the “ Trustee ”).

 

WITNESSETH THAT

 

In consideration of the mutual agreements contained in this Agreement, and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement agree as follows:

 

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

 

The Depositor is the owner of the Trust Fund that is hereby conveyed to the Trustee in return for the Certificates. For federal income tax purposes, the Trust Fund will consist of the following two real estate mortgage investment conduits:

 

REMIC I

 

As provided herein, the Trustee will make an election to treat the segregated pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other related assets subject to this Agreement, but excluding the Capitalized Interest Account and the Yield Maintenance Agreement, as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will be designated as “ REMIC I ”. Component I of the Class A-R Certificates will represent the sole class of “residual interests” in REMIC I for purposes of the REMIC Provisions (as defined herein). The following table irrevocably sets forth the designation, pass-through rate (the “ Uncertificated REMIC I Pass-Through Rate ”) and initial Uncertificated Principal Balance for each of the “regular interests” in REMIC I (the “ REMIC I Regular Interests ”). The “latest possible maturity date” (determined solely for purposes of satisfying Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii)) for each REMIC I Regular Interest shall be the Latest Possible Maturity Date. None of the REMIC I Regular Interests will be certificated.

The Class A-R Certificates are entitled to receive the applicable Residual Distribution Amount.
(1) Interest distributed to the REMIC I Regular Interests (other than the REMIC I Regular Interest LT3 and Component I of the Class A-R Certificates, neither of which shall be entitled to receive any distributions of interest) on each Distribution Date will have accrued at the applicable per annum Pass-Through Rate on the applicable Class Certificate Balance outstanding immediately before such Distribution Date.

(2) For each Distribution Date, the REMIC I Regular Interests LT1 and LT2 will bear interest at a variable rate equal to the Weighted Average Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate for such Distribution Date.
(3) The REMIC I Regular Interest LT3 shall not be entitled to receive any distributions of interest.
(4) For each Distribution Date, the REMIC I Regular Interest LT4 will bear interest at a variable rate equal to twice the Weighted Average Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate for such Distribution Date.

 

REMIC II

 

As provided herein, the Trustee will make an election to treat the segregated pool of assets consisting of the REMIC I Regular Interests as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will be designated as “ REMIC II ”. Component II of the Class A-R Certificates will represent the sole class of “residual interests” in REMIC II for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The following table sets forth (or describes) the Class designation, pass-through rate (the “ Pass-Through Rate ”) and initial Class Certificate Balance for each Class of Certificates that represents ownership of a “regular interest” in REMIC II (the “ REMIC II Regular Interests ”). The “latest possible maturity date” (determined solely for purposes of satisfying Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G 1(a)(4)(iii)) for each REMIC II Regular Interest shall be the Latest Possible Maturity Date. The following table also sets forth minimum denominations and integral multiples in excess thereof in which such Classes shall be issued (except that one Certificate of each such Class of Certificates may be issuable in a different amount).

The “ Class A-1 Pass-Through Margin ” for the Class A-1 Certificates for the Interest Accrual Period related to each Distribution Date is, for (i) the Interest Accrual Period for each Distribution Date occurring on or prior to the first possible Optional Termination Date, 0.370% per annum and (ii) each other Interest Accrual Period, 0.740% per annum.

(2) The Pass-Through Rate for the Class A-2 Certificates for each Interest Accrual Period related to each Distribution Date will be a per annum rate equal to the least of (a) 10.50%, (b) LIBOR plus the Class A-2 Pass-Through Margin and (c) the Net WAC Cap for such Distribution Date. The “ Class A-2 Pass-Through Margin ” for the Class A-2 Certificates for the Interest Accrual Period related to each Distribution Date is, for (i) the Interest Accrual Period for each Distribution Date occurring on or prior to the first possible Optional Termination Date, 0.350% per annum and (ii) each other Interest Accrual Period, 0.700% per annum.
(3) The Pass-Through Rate for the Class A-3 Certificates for each Interest Accrual Period related to each Distribution Date will be a per annum rate equal to the least of (a) 10.50%, (b) LIBOR plus the Class A-3 Pass-Through Margin and (c) the Net WAC Cap for such Distribution Date. The “ Class A-3 Pass-Through Margin ” for the Class A-3 Certificates for the Interest Accrual Period related to each Distribution Date is, for (i) the Interest Accrual Period for each Distribution Date occurring on or prior to the first possible Optional Termination Date, 0.490% per annum and (ii) each other Interest Accrual Period, 0.980% per annum.
(4) The Pass-Through Rate for the Class A-4 Certificates for each Interest Accrual Period related to each Distribution Date will be a per annum rate equal to the least of (a) 10.50%, (b) LIBOR plus the Class A-4 Pass-Through Margin and (c) the Net WAC Cap for such Distribution Date. The “ Class A-4 Pass-Through Margin ” for the Class A-4 Certificates for the Interest Accrual Period related to each Distribution Date is, for (i) the Interest Accrual Period for each Distribution Date occurring on or prior to the first possible Optional Termination Date, 0.490% per annum and (ii) each other Interest Accrual Period, 0.980% per annum.
(5) The Class X Certificates shall have both a Component Notional Amount and a Class Certificate Balance. The Class X Certificate Balance shall initially equal zero and shall thereafter be increased by the portion, if any, of Net Deferred Interest allocated to the Class X IO Component. Interest shall accrue on the Component Notional Amount and shall not accrue on the Class X Certificate Balance. Principal shall not be payable with respect to the Component Notional Amount.
(6) For each Interest Accrual Period related to each Distribution Date, the Class X Certificates shall only accrue interest on the Component Notional Amount of the Class X IO Component (which shall initially be $492,008,879.00). For each Interest Accrual Period related to each Distribution Date, the Pass-Through Rate on the Class X Certificates shall equal the excess, if any, of the (i) Weighted Average Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate for such Distribution Date over (ii) product of (a) the weighted average of the Pass-Through Rates on the LIBOR Certificates (adjusted to a rate calculated on the basis of a 360 day year comprised of 12 30-day months) for such Distribution Date and (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate Class Certificate Balance of the LIBOR Certificates immediately before that Distribution Date and the denominator of which is the Component Notional Amount immediately prior to that Distribution Date.

For REMIC purposes, the foregoing rate is equal to a rate per annum equal to the percentage equivalent of a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the amounts calculated pursuant to clauses (1) through (3) below, and the denominator of which is the aggregate Principal Balances of the REMIC II Regular Interests. For purposes of calculating the Pass-Through Rate for the Class X Certificates, the numerator is equal to the sum of the following components:

  1. the Uncertificated REMIC I Pass-Through Rate for REMIC I Regular Interest LT1 minus the related Marker Rate, applied to a notional amount equal to the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest LT1;

 

3

 


  2. the Uncertificated REMIC I Pass-Through Rate for REMIC I Regular Interest LT2 minus the related Marker Rate, applied to a notional amount equal to the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest LT2; and
  3. the Uncertificated REMIC I Pass-Through Rate for REMIC I Regular Interest LT4 minus twice the related Marker Rate, applied to a notional amount equal to the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest LT4.
(7) The Pass-Through Rate for the Class M Certificates for each Interest Accrual Period related to each Distribution Date will be a per annum rate equal to the least of (a) 10.50%, (b) LIBOR plus the Class M Pass-Through Margin and (c) the Net WAC Cap for such Distribution Date. The “ Class M Pass-Through Margin ” for the Class M Certificates for the Interest Accrual Period related to each Distribution Date is, for (i) the Interest Accrual Period for each Distribution Date occurring on or prior to the first possible Optional Termination Date, 0.600% per annum and (ii) each other Interest Accrual Period, 0.900% per annum.
(8) The Pass-Through Rate for the Class B-1 Certificates for each Interest Accrual Period related to each Distribution Date will be a per annum rate equal to the least of (a) 10.50%, (b) LIBOR plus the Class B-1 Pass-Through Margin and (c) the Net WAC Cap for such Distribution Date. The “ Class B-1 Pass-Through Margin ” for the Class B-1 Certificates for the Interest Accrual Period related to each Distribution Date is, for (i) the Interest Accrual Period for each Distribution Date occurring on or prior to the first possible Optional Termination Date, 1.10% per annum and (ii) each other Interest Accrual Period, 1.650% per annum.
(9) The Pass-Through Rate for the Class B-2, Class B-3, Class B- and Class B-5 Certificates for each Interest Accrual Period related to each Distribution Date will be a per annum rate equal to the least of (a) 10.50%, (b) LIBOR plus the Class B Pass-Through Margin and (c) the Net WAC Cap for such Distribution Date. The “ Class B-2, Class B-3, Class B-4 and Class B-5 Pass-Through Margin ” for the Class B-2, Class B-3, Class B-   and Class B-5 Certificates, respectively, for the Interest Accrual Period related to each Distribution Date is, for (i) the Interest Accrual Period for each Distribution Date occurring on or prior to the first possible Optional Termination Date, 1.250% per annum and (ii) each other Interest Accrual Period, 1.875% per annum.
(10) For any Distribution Date, interest distributable to the Class A, Class M, Class B and Class X Certificates may not equal interest accrued at the Pass-Through Rates for the Corresponding Classes of REMIC II Regular Interests. For any Distribution Date, interest may be distributable to some Classes of Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates in an amount greater than interest accrued at the Pass-Through Rate for the Corresponding Class of REMIC II Regular Interests, and interest may be distributable to the Class X Certificates in an amount less than interest accrued at the Pass-Through Rate for the Class X Certificates, in each case pursuant to Sections 4.02(a)(1) (to the extent of distributions from the Capitalized Interest Account that represent payments of interest at a rate in excess of the Net WAC Cap for such Distribution Date), 4.02(a)(2) (to the extent of distributions from the Capitalized Interest Account that represent payments of interest at a rate in excess of the Net WAC Cap for such Distribution Date), Section 4.02(a)(3), Section 4.02(a)(4) and Section 4.09.
(11) Component II of the Class A-R Certificate shall be entitled to receive the applicable Residual Distribution Amount. Component II of the Class A-R Certificates shall not be entitled to receive any distributions of interest or principal.
* Minimum denomination based on Component Notional Amount.

(iii) in the case of each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, a duly executed assignment of the Mortgage (which may be included in a blanket assignment or assignments), together with, except as provided below, all interim recorded assignments of such mortgage (each such assignment, when duly and validly completed, to be in recordable form and sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof, under the Mortgage to which the assignment relates); provided that, if the related Mortgage has not been returned from the applicable public recording office, such assignment of the Mortgage may exclude the information to be provided by the recording office; provided, further, that such assignment of Mortgage need not be delivered in the case of a Mortgage for which the related Mortgaged Property is located in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico;

 

(iv) the original or copies of each assumption, modification, written assurance or substitution agreement, if any;

 

(v) except as provided below, the original or duplicate original lender’s title policy or a printout of the electronic equivalent and all riders thereto; and

(E) The UCC financing statement with evidence of filing thereon which has been filed in all places required to perfect the Seller’s interest in the Coop Shares and the Proprietary Lease; and

 

(F) The UCC financing statements evidencing a complete and unbroken line of assignments of the financing statement described in clause (E) above from the mortgagee to the Trustee with evidence of filing thereon (or in a form suitable for filing).

 

In addition, in connection with the assignment of any MERS Mortgage Loan, the Depositor agrees that it will use its best reasonable efforts to cause, at the Trustee’s expense, the MERS ® System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Transferor to the Seller in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, by the Seller to the Depositor in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and by the Depositor 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 the information required by the MERS ® System to identify the series of the Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans. The Depositor further agrees that it will not and the Master Servicer agrees that it will not, alter the information 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.

 

In the event that in connection with any Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage Loan the Depositor cannot deliver (a) the original recorded Mortgage, (b) all interim recorded assignments or (c) the lender’s title policy (together with all riders thereto) satisfying the requirements of clause (ii), (iii) or (v) above, respectively, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement because such document or documents have not been returned from the applicable public recording office in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) above, or because the title policy has not been delivered to the Transferor, the Seller, the Master Servicer or the Depositor by the applicable title insurer in the case of clause (v) above, the Depositor shall promptly deliver to the Trustee, in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) above, such original Mortgage or such interim assignment, as the case may be, with evidence of recording indicated thereon upon receipt thereof from the public recording office, or a copy thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant recording office, but in no event shall any such delivery of the original Mortgage and each such interim assignment or a copy thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant recording office, be made later than one year following the Closing Date, or, in the case of clause (v) above, no later than 120 days following the Closing Date; provided , however , in the event the Depositor is unable to deliver by such date each Mortgage and each such interim assignment by reason of the fact that any such documents have not been returned by the appropriate recording office, or, in the case of each such interim assignment, because the related Mortgage has not been returned by the appropriate recording office, the Depositor shall deliver such documents to the Trustee as promptly as possible upon receipt thereof and, in any event, within 720 days following the Closing Date. If the Depositor receives additional original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of a Mortgage Loan or any other

 

46

 


documents required to be delivered by the Depositor to the Trustee, the Depositor shall forward or cause to be forwarded all such documents to the Trustee. In the event that the original Mortgage is not delivered and in connection with the payment in full of the related Mortgage Loan and the public recording office requires the presentation of a “lost instruments affidavit and indemnity” or any equivalent document, because only a copy of the Mortgage can be delivered with the instrument of satisfaction or reconveyance, the Master Servicer shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such a document to the public recording office. In the case where a public recording office retains the original recorded Mortgage or in the case where a Mortgage is lost after recordation in a public recording office, the Depositor shall deliver to the Trustee a copy of such Mortgage certified by such public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded Mortgage.

 

As promptly as practicable subsequent to such transfer and assignment, and in any event, within 30 days after such transfer and assignment, the Trustee shall at the expense of the Depositor (i) as the assignee thereof, affix the following language to each assignment of Mortgage: “BellaVista Series 2004-2, The Bank of New York as trustee”, (ii) cause such assignment to be in proper form for recording in the appropriate public office for real property records and (iii) cause to be delivered for recording in the appropriate public office for real property records the assignments of the Mortgages to the Trustee, except that, with respect to any assignments of Mortgage as to which the Trustee has not received the information required to prepare such assignment in recordable form, the Trustee’s obligation to do so and to deliver the same for such recording shall be as soon as practicable after receipt of such information and in any event within 30 days after receipt thereof and that the Trustee need not cause to be recorded any assignment which relates to a Mortgage Loan (a) the Mortgaged Property and Mortgage File relating to which are located in California or (b) in any other jurisdiction (including Puerto Rico) under the laws of which in the opinion of counsel provided by the Depositor to the Trustee, the recordation of such assignment is not necessary to protect the Trustee’s and the Certificateholders’ interest in the related Mortgage Loan.

 

In the case of Mortgage Loans that have been prepaid in full as of the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering or causing to be delivered the above documents to the Trustee, will deposit in the Certificate Account the portion of such payment that is required to be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.05.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, within 30 days after the Closing Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans, the Depositor shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee the Mortgage File as required pursuant to this Section 2.01 for each Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan. If the Depositor fails to deliver, or cause to be delivered, a Mortgage File for any Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan within the 30-day period provided for in the prior sentence, the Depositor shall cause the Seller or the Transferor to (i) substitute a Substitute Mortgage Loan for the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan or (ii) repurchase the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan, which substitution or repurchase shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03 (treating each Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan as a Deleted Mortgage Loan for purposes of such Section 2.03); provided , however , that the cure period provided for in Section 2.02 or Section 2.03 shall not apply to the initial delivery of the Mortgage File for such Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan, but rather the Depositor shall have five Business Days to cure such failure to deliver. At the end of such 30-day period the Trustee shall send a Delay Delivery Certification for the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans delivered during such 30-day period in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02.

 

47

 


SECTION 2.02. Acceptance by Trustee of the Mortgage Loans .

 

(a) The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the documents identified in the Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F (an “ Initial Certification ”) and declares that it holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting the Mortgage Files, and that it holds or will hold such other assets as are included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Trustee acknowledges that it will maintain possession of the Mortgage Notes in the State of California, unless otherwise permitted by the Rating Agencies.

 

The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver on the Closing Date to the Depositor and the Master Servicer an Initial Certification. Based on its review and examination, and only as to the documents identified in such Initial Certification, the Trustee acknowledges that such documents appear regular on their face and relate to the Mortgage Loans. The Trustee shall be under no 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 in the real estate records or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.

 

On or about the 30 th day after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor and the Master Servicer a Delay Delivery Certification with respect to the Mortgage Loans in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G (a “ Delay Delivery Certification ”), with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.

 

Not later than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor and the Master Servicer a Final Certification with respect to the Mortgage Loans in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit H (a “ Final Certification ”), with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.

 

If, in the course of such review, the Trustee finds any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File that does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01, the Trustee shall list such as an exception in the Final Certification; provided , however , that the Trustee shall not make any determination as to whether any (i) endorsement is sufficient to transfer all right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note or (ii) assignment is in recordable form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment relates. The Depositor shall cause the Seller or the Transferor to promptly correct or cure such defect within 90 days from the date it was so notified of such defect and, if the Seller or the Transferor does not correct or cure such defect within such period, the Depositor shall cause the Seller or the Transferor to either (a) substitute for the related Mortgage Loan a Substitute Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03, or (b) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee within 90 days from the date the Seller or the relevant Transferor was notified of such defect in writing at the Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loan; provided , however , that in no event shall such substitution or purchase occur more than

 

48

 


540 days from the Closing Date, except that if the substitution or purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this provision is required by reason of a delay in delivery of any documents by the appropriate recording office, and there is a dispute between either the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Transferor or the Seller and the Trustee over the location or status of the recorded document, then such substitution or purchase shall occur within 720 days from the Closing Date. The Trustee shall deliver written notice to each Rating Agency within 270 days from the Closing Date indicating each Mortgage Loan (x) that has not been returned by the appropriate recording office or (y) as to which there is a dispute as to location or status of such Mortgage Loan. Such notice shall be delivered every 90 days thereafter until the related Mortgage Loan is returned to the Trustee. Any such substitution pursuant to (a) above or purchase pursuant to (b) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.05, if any, and any substitution pursuant to (a) above shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit N. No substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. The Purchase Price for any such Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by the Depositor in the Certificate Account on or prior to the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month following the month of repurchase and, upon receipt of such deposit and certification with respect thereto in the form of Exhibit N, the Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File to the Depositor or its designee and shall execute and deliver at the Depositor’s request such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Depositor, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Depositor or its designee, the Trustee’s interest in any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto. If pursuant to the foregoing provisions the Depositor repurchases, or causes to be repurchased, a Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall either cause MERS to (i) execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Depositor, or its designee, and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS ® System in accordance with MERS’ rules and regulations or (ii) designate on the MERS ® System the Depositor, or its designee, as applicable, as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.

 

(b) The Trustee shall retain possession and custody of each Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Trustee, upon the execution or receipt thereof, the originals of such other documents or instruments constituting the Mortgage File as come into the possession of the Master Servicer from time to time.

 

(c) It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Depositor to cause the Seller or the Transferor to substitute for or to purchase any Mortgage Loan that does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01 above shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect available to the Trustee and any Certificateholder against the Depositor.

 

49

 


SECTION 2.03. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Master Servicer and Breach of Representations under Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Purchase Agreement .

 

(a) The Master Servicer hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth in Schedule II, and by this reference incorporated in this Agreement, to the Depositor and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date.

 

(b) Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a representation or warranty made by the Seller pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or a breach of a representation or warranty made by the Transferor in the Purchase Agreement that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt notice thereof to the other parties, the Seller and the Transferor. Within 90 days of the earlier of the Depositor’s discovery or the Depositor’s receipt of written notice from any party of a breach of any representation or warranty referred to in the preceding sentence that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the Depositor shall cause the Seller or the Transferor to cure such breach in all material respects, and if such breach is not so cured, the Depositor shall cause the Seller or the Transferor to (i) if such 90-day period expires prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, remove such Mortgage Loan (a “ Deleted Mortgage Loan ”) from the Trust Fund and substitute in its place a Substitute Mortgage Loan, in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section; or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans from the Trustee at the Purchase Price in the manner set forth below; provided , however , that any such substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.05, if any, and any such substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit N and the Mortgage File for any such Substitute Mortgage Loan.

 

If the Depositor fails to take any action in accordance with the preceding paragraph after the Depositor has been notified of a breach of a representation or warranty that any of the Depositor, the Seller or the Transferor has made that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall pursue any remedies available to it against the Depositor, the Seller or the Transferor, as applicable. The Depositor shall promptly reimburse the Trustee and the Master Servicer for any expenses reasonably incurred by the Trustee or the Master Servicer in respect of enforcing the remedies for such breach.

 

With respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Depositor shall cause the Seller or the Transferor to deliver to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related assignment of the Mortgage, and such other documents and agreements as are required by Section 2.01, with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as required by Section 2.01. No substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. Scheduled Payments due with respect to Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Depositor on the next succeeding Distribution Date. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the monthly payment due

 

50

 


on any Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter the Depositor shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Substitute Mortgage Loan and the Master Servicer shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee. Upon such substitution, the Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Depositor shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Substitute Mortgage Loan, as of the date of substitution, the representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 2.04 with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Upon any such substitution and the deposit to the Certificate Account of the amount required to be deposited therein in connection with such substitution as described in the following paragraph, the Trustee shall release the Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Depositor and shall execute and deliver at the Depositor’s direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Depositor, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest title in the Depositor or, at the direction of the Depositor, the Seller, the Transferor, or its designee, the Trustee’s interest in any Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.03.

 

For any month in which the Depositor, the Seller or the Transferor substitutes or causes the substitution of one or more Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of all such Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of the scheduled principal portion of the monthly payments due in the month of substitution). The amount of such shortage (the “ Substitution Adjustment Amount ”) plus an amount equal to the aggregate of any unreimbursed Advances with respect to such Deleted Mortgage Loans shall be deposited in the Certificate Account by the Depositor, or the Seller or the Transferor at the direction of the Depositor, on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month succeeding the calendar month during which the related Mortgage Loan became required to be purchased or replaced hereunder.

 

In the event that the Seller or the Transferor shall have repurchased a Mortgage Loan, the Depositor shall cause the Purchase Price therefor to be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.05 on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month following the month during which the Seller or the Transferor, as applicable, became obligated under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or under the Purchase Agreement, as applicable, to repurchase or replace (or cause the repurchase or replacement of) such Mortgage Loan and upon such deposit of the Purchase Price, the delivery of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.05 and receipt of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit N, the Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders to such Person, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at such Person’s direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by such Person, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to transfer title from the Trustee. It is understood and agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of the Depositor to cure, repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against the Depositor respecting such breach available to Certificateholders or the Trustee on their behalf.

 

51

 


The representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to any action which this Agreement provides shall be taken by the Seller or the Transferor and which the Seller or the Transferor is obligated to take under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, as applicable, the Master Servicer shall use its best reasonable efforts to cause the Transferor to take such action and the Depositor shall have no obligation or responsibility whatsoever either to take such action or to use any efforts to cause the Transferor to take such action and in no event shall the Depositor be obligated to take any action that is an obligation of the Transferor under the Purchase Agreement. All action taken by the Master Servicer pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be at its own expense.

 

If the Master Servicer fails to enforce any obligation of the Transferor under the Purchase Agreement, the Trustee shall pursue any remedies available to it against the Transferor, and the Master Servicer shall promptly reimburse the Trustee for any expenses reasonably incurred by the Trustee in respect of taking such action.

 

SECTION 2.04. Representations and Warranties of the Depositor as to the Mortgage Loans .

 

The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee (i) with respect to each Mortgage Loan that immediately prior to the transfer and assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, the Depositor had good title to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Notes were subject to no offsets, defenses or counterclaims and (ii) that the Seller made the representations and warranties set forth on Shcedule III.

 

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Trustee. Upon discovery by the Depositor or the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04 (referred to herein as a “ breach ”), which breach materially and adversely affects the interest of the Certificateholders, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the others and to each Rating Agency.

 

SECTION 2.05. Delivery of Opinion of Counsel in Connection With Substitutions .

 

(a) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no substitution pursuant to Section 2.02 or Section 2.03 shall be made more than 90 days after the Closing Date unless the Depositor delivers, or causes to be delivered, to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be at the expense of either the Trustee or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect that such substitution will not (i) result in the imposition of the tax on “prohibited transactions” on the Trust Fund or contributions after the Startup Day, as defined in Sections 860F(a)(2) and 860G(d) of the Code, respectively, or (ii) cause any REMIC created under this Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.

 

(b) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of

 

52

 


Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall promptly (and in any event within five Business Days of discovery) give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Trustee shall require the Depositor, or the Seller or the Transferor at the direction of the Depositor, to either (i) substitute if the conditions in Section 2.03(b) with respect to substitutions are satisfied, a Substitute 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 made pursuant to Section 2.03. The Trustee shall reconvey to the Depositor, or the Seller or the Transferor, at the direction of the Depositor, the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant to this Section 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.

 

If the Depositor, the Seller or the Transferor fails to take any action after it has received notice in accordance with the preceding paragraph, the Trustee shall pursue any remedies available to it against the Depositor, the Seller or the Transferor, as applicable. The Depositor shall promptly reimburse the Trustee for any expenses reasonably incurred by the Trustee in respect of enforcing the remedies for such breach.

 

SECTION 2.06. Execution and Delivery of Certificates .

 

The Trustee acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the Trust Fund and, concurrently with such transfer and assignment, has executed and delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, the Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing directly or indirectly the entire ownership of the Trust Fund. The Trustee agrees to hold the Trust Fund and exercise the rights referred to above for the benefit of all present and future Holders of the Certificates and to perform the duties set forth in this Agreement to the best of its ability, to the end that the interests of the Holders of the Certificates may be adequately and effectively protected.

 

SECTION 2.07. Covenants of the Master Servicer .

 

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

 

(a) the Master Servicer shall comply in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of the insurer under each Required Insurance Policy; and

 

(b) no written information, certificate of an officer, statement or report furnished in writing or written report delivered to the Depositor, any affiliate of the Depositor or the Trustee and prepared by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make such information, certificate, statement or report not misleading.

 

SECTION 2.08. Additional Representations of Depositor .

 

The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee that as of the Closing Date:

 

(a) this Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Mortgage Loans in favor of the Trustee, which security interest is prior to all other liens, and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Depositor;

 

53

 


(b) the Mortgage Notes constitute “promissory notes” within the meaning of the applicable UCC;

 

(c) the Depositor owns and has good and marketable title to the Mortgage Loans free and clear of any lien of any Person;

 

(d) the Depositor will cause to be filed all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Mortgage Loans hereunder;

 

(e) other than the conveyance to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, the Depositor has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Mortgage Loans; the Depositor has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Depositor that include a description of collateral covering the Mortgage Loans other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Trustee hereunder or any security interest that has been terminated; and the Depositor is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Depositor;

 

(f) none of the Mortgage Notes have any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Trustee, except for any (i) endorsements that are part of a complete chain of endorsements from the originator of the Mortgage Notes to the Trustee and (ii) marks or notations pertaining to liens that have been terminated or released; and

 

(g) none of the provisions of this Section 2.08 shall be waived without the prior written confirmation from Standard & Poor’s that such waiver shall not result in a reduction or withdrawal of the then-current rating of the Certificates.

ARTICLE III

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING

OF MORTGAGE LOANS

 

SECTION 3.01. Master Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans .

 

For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage loan servicers. In connection with such servicing and administration, the Master Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through Subservicers as provided in Section 3.02, subject to the terms of this Agreement to (i) execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages (but only in the manner provided in this Agreement), (iii) collect any Insurance Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds (which for the purpose of this Section 3.01 includes any Subsequent Recoveries) and (iv) effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan; provided that the Master Servicer shall not take any action that is inconsistent with or prejudices the interests of the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan or the rights and interests of the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders under this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall represent and protect the interests of the Trust Fund in the same manner as it protects its own interests in mortgage loans in its own portfolio in any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan, and shall not make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any Mortgage Loan which would cause any REMIC created under this Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of any tax under Section 860F(a) or Section 860G(d) of the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer, in its own name or in the name of the Depositor and the Trustee, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Depositor and the Trustee, when the Master Servicer believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Depositor or the Trustee such documents requiring execution and delivery by either or both of them as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans to the extent that the Master Servicer is not permitted to execute and deliver such documents pursuant to the preceding sentence. Upon receipt of such documents, the Depositor or the Trustee shall execute such documents and deliver them to the Master Servicer. The Master 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 Master Servicer or the Subservicer, as the case may be, believes it appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS ® System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS ® 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.

 

55

 


In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.06, and further as provided in Section 3.08. The costs incurred by the Master Servicer, if any, in effecting the timely payments of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties and related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.

 

SECTION 3.02. Subservicing; Enforcement of the Obligations of Subservicers .

 

(a) The Master Servicer may arrange for the subservicing of any Mortgage Loan by a Subservicer pursuant to a subservicing agreement; provided , however , that such subservicing arrangement and the terms of the related subservicing agreement must provide for the servicing of such Mortgage Loans in a manner consistent with the servicing arrangements contemplated under this Agreement. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer in servicing the Mortgage Loans include actions taken or to be taken by a Subservicer on behalf of the Master Servicer. Notwithstanding the provisions of any subservicing agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer and a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through a Subservicer or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such subservicing agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. All actions of each Subservicer performed pursuant to the related subservicing agreement shall be performed as an agent of the Master Servicer with the same force and effect as if performed directly by the Master Servicer.

 

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are received by a Subservicer regardless of whether such payments are remitted by the Subservicer to the Master Servicer.

 

(c) Upon the direction of the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall cooperate with any Subservicer in the manner so directed by the Master Servicer; provided , however , that the Trustee shall be under no obligation to take any action or cooperate in any manner with a Subservicer if the Trustee does not have an obligation to take such action or cooperate in such manner with respect to the Master Servicer pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement.

The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any

 

56

 


defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer hereunder and in connection with any such defaulted obligation to exercise the related rights of the Master Servicer hereunder; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. Neither the Trustee nor the Depositor shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer nor shall the Trustee or the Depositor be obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.

 

SECTION 3.04. Trustee to Act as Master Servicer .

 

In the event that the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer hereunder (including by reason of an Event of Default), the Trustee shall then assume all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder arising thereafter (except that the Trustee shall not be (i) liable for losses of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.09 or any acts or omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer under this Agreement), (ii) obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from doing so by applicable law, (iii) obligated to effectuate repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans hereunder including repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.02 or Section 2.03, (iv) responsible for expenses of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 2.03 or (v) deemed to have made any representations and warranties of the Master Servicer under this Agreement). Any such assumption shall be subject to Section 7.02. If the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer (including by reason of any Event of Default), the Trustee shall succeed to any rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under each subservicing agreement.

 

The Master Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the expense of the Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each subservicing agreement or substitute subservicing agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts collected or held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the substitute subservicing agreement to the assuming party.

 

SECTION 3.05. Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments; Certificate Account; Carryover Reserve Fund; Capitalized Interest Account; Yield Maintenance Account; Distribution Account .

 

(a) The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts in accordance with the customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage servicers to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any related Required Insurance Policy. Consistent with the foregoing, the Master 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 dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period not greater than 180 days; provided , however , that the Master Servicer shall not extend the maturity of any such Mortgage Loan past the date on which the final payment is due on the latest maturing Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date. In the event of any such arrangement, the Master Servicer shall make Advances on the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01 during the scheduled period in accordance with

 

57

 


the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements. The Master 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) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain a Certificate Account into which the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited no later than two Business Days after receipt (or, if the current long-term credit rating of Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. is reduced below “A-” by S&P or “A3” by Moody’s, the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis within one Business Day of receipt), except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the following payments and collections remitted by Subservicers or received by it in respect of Mortgage Loans subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest due on the 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 on the Mortgage Loans, including Principal Prepayments;

 

(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans, net of the related Master Servicing Fee and any lender paid mortgage insurance premiums;

 

(iii) all Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and Liquidation Proceeds, other than proceeds to be applied to the restoration or repair of a Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Master Servicer’s normal servicing procedures;

 

(iv) any amount required to be deposited by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05(g) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments;

 

(v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.09(c) and in respect of net monthly rental income from REO Property pursuant to Section 3.11;

 

(vi) all Substitution Adjustment Amounts;

 

(vii) all Advances made by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01; and

 

(viii) any other amounts required to be deposited under this Agreement.

 

In addition, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is subject to a buydown agreement, on each Due Date for such Mortgage Loan, in addition to the monthly payment remitted by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall cause funds to be deposited into the Certificate Account in an amount required to cause an amount of interest to be paid with respect to such Mortgage Loan equal to the amount of interest that has accrued on such Mortgage Loan from the preceding Due Date at the Mortgage Rate net of the related Master Servicing Fee.

 

58

 


The foregoing requirements for remittance by the Master Servicer shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of prepayment penalties, late payment charges or assumption fees, if collected, need not be remitted by the Master Servicer. In the event that the Master Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted, it may at any time withdraw or direct the institution maintaining the Certificate Account to withdraw such amount from the Certificate Account, any provision in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding. Such withdrawal or direction may be accomplished by delivering written notice thereof to the Trustee or such other institution maintaining the Certificate Account which describes the amounts deposited in error in the Certificate Account. The Master Servicer shall maintain adequate records with respect to all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section. All funds deposited in the Certificate Account shall be held in trust for the Certificateholders until withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.08.

 

(c) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain in its name, in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the LIBOR Certificates and the Class X Certificates, the Carryover Reserve Fund and shall deposit $1,000 therein upon receipt from or on behalf of the Depositor of such amount. All funds on deposit in the Carryover Reserve Fund shall (i) be held separate and apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other monies, including other monies held by the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) remain uninvested.

 

On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall deposit into the Carryover Reserve Fund all amounts otherwise distributable to the Class X Certificates with respect to the Class X IO Component on such Distribution Date. The Trustee shall make withdrawals from the Carryover Reserve Fund to make distributions pursuant to Section 4.02(a)(4) exclusively (other than as expressly provided for in Section 3.08). Upon the earlier of the (i) retirement of the LIBOR Certificates and the Class X Certificate and (ii) termination of the Trust Fund in accordance with Section 9.01 or Section 9.02, the Trustee shall distribute all monies on deposit in the Carryover Reserve Fund to the Holder of the Class X Certificate.

 

(d) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain in its name, in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the LIBOR Certificates, the Capitalized Interest Account and shall deposit the Capitalized Interest Account Initial Deposit therein upon receipt from or on behalf of the Depositor of such amount. All funds on deposit in the Capitalized Interest Account shall (i) be held separate and apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other monies, including other monies held by the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) remain uninvested.

 

On the first Distribution Date, the Trustee shall deposit all amounts on deposit in the Capitalized Interest Account into the Distribution Account to be included in the Available Funds distributed to the LIBOR Certificates on such Distribution Date.

 

(e) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain in its name, in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Class A and the Class X Certificates, the Yield Maintenance Account and shall deposit in such account all amounts distributed pursuant to the Yield Maintenance Agreement. All funds on deposit in the Yield Maintenance Account shall (i) be held separate and apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other monies, including other monies held by the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) remain uninvested [and held in a non-interest-bearing account].

 

59

 


On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw from the Yield Maintenance Account the amounts on deposit therein, and deposit such amounts in the Distribution Account for payment to the Class A Certificates and the Class X IO Component pursuant to Section 4.02(a)(3).

 

To the extent that it constitutes a “reserve fund” for purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the Yield Maintenance Account established hereunder shall be an “outside reserve fund” as defined in Treasury Regulation 1.860G-2(h), and in that regard (i) such fund shall be an outside reserve fund and not an asset of any REMIC, (ii) such fund shall be owned for federal tax purposes by the Holder of the Class X Certificates, and the Holder of the Class X Certificates shall report all amounts of income, deduction, gain or loss accruing therefrom, and (iii) amounts transferred by the REMIC to the fund shall be treated as distributed by the REMIC to the Holder of the Class X Certificates.

 

(f) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Distribution Account. The Trustee shall, promptly upon receipt, deposit in the Distribution Account and retain in the Distribution Account the following:

 

(i) the aggregate amount remitted by the Master Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.08(a)(ix);

 

(ii) any amount deposited by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05(g) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments; and

 

(iii) any other amounts deposited hereunder which are required to be deposited in the Distribution Account.

 

In the event that the Master Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted, it may at any time direct the Trustee to withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account, any provision in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding. Such direction may be accomplished by delivering an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee which describes the amounts deposited in error in the Distribution Account. All funds deposited in the Distribution Account shall be held by the Trustee in trust for the Certificateholders until disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.08. In no event shall the Trustee incur liability for withdrawals from the Distribution Account at the direction of the Master Servicer.

 

(g) Each institution at which the Certificate Account or the Distribution Account is maintained shall invest the funds in such account as directed in writing by the Master Servicer in Permitted Investments, which shall mature not later than, in the case of the (i) Certificate Account, the second Business Day next preceding the related Distribution Account Deposit Date (except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution that maintains such account, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than the Business Day next preceding such Distribution Account Deposit Date) and (ii) Distribution Account, the Business Day next preceding the Distribution Date (except that if such Permitted Investment is an

 

60

 


obligation of the institution that maintains such fund or account, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than such Distribution Date) and, in each case, shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All such Permitted Investments shall be made in the name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders. All income and gain net of any losses realized from any such investment of funds on deposit in the Certificate Account or the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer as servicing compensation and shall be remitted to it monthly as provided in this Agreement. The amount of any realized losses in the Certificate Account or the Distribution Account incurred in any such account in respect of any such investments shall promptly be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Certificate Account or paid to the Trustee for deposit into the Distribution Account, as applicable. The Trustee in its fiduciary capacity shall not be liable for the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any investment or lack of investment of funds held in the Certificate Account or the Distribution Account and made in accordance with this Section 3.05.

Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Master Servicer to compel a Mortgagor to establish an Escrow Account in violation of applicable law.

 

(b) Withdrawals of amounts so collected from the Escrow Accounts may be made only to effect timely payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, condominium or PUD association dues, or comparable items, to reimburse the Master Servicer out of related collections for any payments made pursuant to Sections 3.01 (with respect to taxes and assessments and insurance premiums) and 3.09 (with respect to hazard insurance), to refund to any Mortgagors any sums determined to be overages, to pay interest, if required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note, to Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account or to clear and terminate the Escrow Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01. The Escrow Accounts shall not be a part of the Trust Fund.
