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. |
1
| (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).

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. |

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

(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

to be filed all appropriate financing statements in the proper

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

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

54
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.
SECTION 3.03. Rights of
the Depositor and the Trustee in Respect of the Master Servicer
.
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

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

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.
(h) The Master Servicer shall
give notice to the Trustee, each Rating Agency and the Depositor of
any proposed change of the location of the Certificate Account
prior to any change thereof. The Trustee shall give notice to the
Master Servicer, each Rating Agency and the Depositor of any
proposed change of the location of the Distribution Account, the
Carryover Reserve Fund, the Capitalized Interest Account or the
Yield Maintenance Account prior to any change thereof.
SECTION 3.06. Collection
of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow Accounts
.
(a) To the extent required by
the related Mortgage Note and not violative of current law, the
Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts
(each, an “ Escrow Account ”) and deposit
and retain in such accounts all collections from the Mortgagors (or
advances by the Master Servicer) for the payment of taxes,
assessments, hazard insurance premiums or comparable items for the
account of the Mortgagors. 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.
(c) The Master Servicer shall
advance any payments referred to in Section 3.06(a) that are not
timely paid by the Mortgagors on the date when the tax, premium or
other cost for which such payment is intended is due, but the
