CORPORATION I, a Delaware corporation, as depositor (the
"Depositor"), HSBC BANK USA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as trustee (the
"Trustee") and U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, in its dual
capacities as master servicer (the "Master Servicer") and
securities administrator (the "Securities Administrator") and
acknowledged by J.P. MORGAN MORTGAGE ACQUISITION CORP., a Delaware
corporation, as seller (the "Seller"), for purposes of Sections
2.04 and 2.05 and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The Depositor has acquired the Mortgage Loans from the Seller
and at the Closing Date is the owner of the Mortgage Loans and the
other property being conveyed by the Depositor to the Trustee
hereunder for inclusion in the Trust Fund. On the Closing
Date, the Depositor will acquire the Certificates from the Trustee
as consideration for the Depositor’s transfer to the Trust
Fund of the Mortgage Loans and the other property constituting the
Trust Fund. The Depositor has duly authorized the execution
and delivery of this Agreement to provide for the conveyance to the
Trustee of the Mortgage Loans and the other property constituting
the Trust Fund. All covenants and agreements made by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and
the Trustee herein, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the
other property constituting the Trust Fund, are for the benefit of
the Holders from time to time of the Certificates. The
Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Securities
Administrator are entering into this Agreement, and the Trustee is
accepting the Trust Fund created hereby, for good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged.
As provided herein, the Trustee shall elect that the Trust Fund
(exclusive of (i) the Additional Collateral, (ii) the Swap
Agreement, (iii) the Swap Trust, (iv) any payments with respect to
Basis Risk or Net WAC Shortfall Carryover Amounts, and (v) payments
with respect to Class I Shortfalls (collectively, the "Excluded
Trust Property") be treated for federal income tax purposes as
comprising four real estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a
"REMIC" or, in the alternative, "Lower-Tier REMIC 1," "Lower-Tier
REMIC 2," "Middle-Tier REMIC 1," and the "Upper-Tier" or "Master
REMIC"). Each Certificate, other than the Class A-R
Certificate, shall represent ownership of one or more regular
interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC
Provisions. The Class A-R Certificate represents ownership of
the sole class of residual interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC.
The Upper-Tier REMIC shall hold as assets the several classes
of uncertificated Middle-Tier REMIC Interests in the Middle-Tier
REMIC 1 (other than the Class 1-MT-R Interest) and the several
classes of uncertificated Lower-Tier REMIC Interests in Lower-Tier
REMIC 2 (other than the Class 2-LT-R Interest), the Class 1-P Reserve Fund,
the Class 2-P Reserve Fund, and the Class A-R Reserve Fund.
Each Middle-Tier REMIC 1 Interest (other than the Class MT1-R
Interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in Middle-Tier
REMIC 1 (each, a "Middle-Tier REMIC 1 Interest"), and each
Lower-Tier REMIC 2 Interest (other than the Class 2-LT-R Interest)
is hereby designated as a regular interest in Lower-Tier REMIC 2
(each, a "Lower-Tier REMIC 2 Regular Interest"). Middle-Tier
REMIC 1 shall hold as assets the several classes of uncertificated
Lower-Tier REMIC Interests in Lower-Tier REMIC 1 (other than the
Class 1-LT-R Interest.) Lower-Tier REMIC 1 shall hold as
assets all property of the Trust Fund related to Pool 1 (other than
any related Excluded Trust Property). Each Lower-Tier
REMIC 1 Interest (other than the Class 1-LT-R Interest) is hereby
designated as a regular interest in Lower-Tier REMIC 1 (each, a
"Lower-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interest"). Lower-Tier REMIC 2
shall hold as assets all property of the Trust Fund related to Pool
2 (other than any related Excluded Property). Each
Lower-Tier REMIC 2 Interest (other than the Class 2-LT-R Interest)
is hereby designated as a regular interest in Lower-Tier REMIC 2
(each, a "Lower-Tier REMIC 2 Regular Interest"). The latest
possible maturity date of all REMIC regular interests created in
this Agreement shall be the Latest Possible Maturity Date.
Lower-Tier REMIC 1:
The following table sets forth the designations, principal
balances, and interest rates for each interest in Lower-Tier REMIC
1, each of which (other than the 1-LT-R interest) is hereby

The Class 1-LT-R interest shall not have a principal amount and
shall not bear interest. The Class 1-LT-R interest is hereby
designated as the sole class of residual interest in Lower-Tier
REMIC 1.
(2)
For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual
Period), the interest rate for each of these interests shall be the
lesser of (i) the REMIC Swap Rate for such Distribution Date, and
(ii) the product of (a) the Pool 1 Net WAC, determined without
regard to the Swap Agreement (the "REMIC Net WAC Rate") and (b)
2.
(3)
For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual
Period), the interest rate for each of these interests shall be the
excess, if any, of (i) the product of (a) the REMIC Net WAC Rate
and (b) 2, over (ii) the REMIC Swap Rate for such Distribution
Date.
On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall
first pay or charge as an expense of Lower-Tier REMIC 1 all
expenses of the Trust Fund for such Distribution Date allocable to
Pool 1, other than any Net Swap Payment or Swap Termination Payment
required to be made from the Trust Fund or the Swap Trust.
On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall
distribute the aggregate Pool 1 Interest Remittance Amount (net of
expenses described in the preceding paragraph) with respect to each
of the Lower-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interests based on the
above-described interest rates.
On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall
distribute the aggregate Pool 1 Principal Remittance Amount with
respect to the REMIC 1 Regular Interests, sequentially, to the
Lower-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interests in ascending order of their
numerical class designation, and, with respect to each pair of
classes having the same numerical designation, in equal amounts to
each such class, until the principal balance of each such class is
reduced to zero. All losses on the Pool 1 Mortgage Loans
shall be allocated among the Lower-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interests
in the same manner that principal distributions are allocated.
On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall
distribute an amount equal to the amount then on deposit in the
Distribution Account that represents Prepayment Premiums with
respect to Pool 1 to the Class LT1-F59 Interest.
Middle-Tier REMIC 1:
The following table sets forth the designations, principal
balances, and interest rates for each interest in Middle-Tier REMIC
1, each of which (other than the MT1-R interest) is hereby

For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual
Period), the interest rate for each of these interests is a per
annum rate equal to the weighted average of the interest rates on
the Lower-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interests for such Distribution
Date, provided, however, that for any Distribution Date on
which the MT1-IO Interest is entitled to a portion of the interest
accruals on a Lower-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interest having an "F" in
its class designation, as described in footnote two below, such
weighted average shall be computed by first subjecting the rate on
such Lower-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interest to a cap equal to the
product of (i) two, and (ii) Swap LIBOR for such Distribution Date
(the "Middle-Tier REMIC 1 Net WAC Rate").
(2)
The Class MT1-IO is an interest only class that does not have a
principal balance. For the applicable Distribution Date
listed in the first column in the table below, the Class MT1-IO
shall be entitled to interest accrued on each Lower-Tier REMIC 1
Regular Interest listed in the second column in the table below at
a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the interest
rate for each such Lower-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interest for such
Distribution Date over (ii) the product of (a) two, and (b) Swap
LIBOR for such Distribution Date.

The Class MT1-R interest is the sole class of residual interests
in Middle-Tier REMIC 1. It does not have an interest rate or
a principal balance.
(4)
This interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to
the aggregate principal balance of all the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date minus the aggregate initial principal balance of each
other regular interest in Middle-Tier REMIC 1.
On each Distribution Date, interest shall be distributed on the
Middle-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interests based on the above-described
interest rates , provided, however , that interest that
accrues on the Class MT1-Q Interest shall be deferred in an amount
equal to one-half of the increase, if any, in the Pool 1
Overcollateralized Amount for such Distribution Date. Any
interest so deferred shall itself bear interest at the interest
rate for the Class MT1-Q Interest. An amount equal to the
interest so deferred shall be distributed as additional principal
on the other Middle-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interests having a
principal balance in the manner described under priority
First below.
On each Distribution Date principal shall be distributed, and
Realized Losses shall be allocated, among the Middle-Tier REMIC 1
Regular Interests in the following order of priority:
First , to the Class MT1-A1, Class MT1-A2, Class MT1-A3,
Class MT1-A4, Class MT1-A5, Class MT1-M1, Class MT1-M2, Class
MT1-M3, Class MT1-M4, Class MT1-M5, Class MT1-B1, and Class MT1-B2
Interests until the principal balance of each such Middle-Tier
REMIC 1 Regular Interest equals one-half of the Class Principal
Amount of the Corresponding Class of Certificates immediately after
such Distribution Date; and
Second , to the Class MT1-Q Interest, any remaining
amounts.
On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall
distribute the Prepayment Premiums passed through with respect to
the Class LT1-F59 Lower-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interests on such
Distribution Date to the Class MT1-Q Interest.
Lower-Tier REMIC 2:
The following table sets forth the designations, principal
balances, and interest rates for each interest in Lower-Tier REMIC

The per annum Certificate Interest Rate on the Class 1-A-1,
Class 1-A-2, Class 1-A-3, Class 1-A-4, Class 1-A-5, Class 1-M-1,
Class 1-M-2, Class 1-M-3, Class 1-M-4, Class 1-M-5, Class 1-B-1 and
Class 1-B-2 Certificates will be equal to the least of (a) LIBOR
plus the related Certificate Margin, (b) the Pool 1 Net WAC
(adjusted for the actual number of days in the related Accrual
Period), and (c) 11.50% per annum. For purposes of the REMIC
Provisions, the reference to the Pool 1 Net WAC in the preceding
sentence shall be deemed to be a reference to the REMIC Net WAC
Rate; therefore, on any Distribution Date on which the Certificate
Interest Rate for one of these Certificates exceeds the REMIC Net
WAC Rate, interest accruals based on such excess shall be treated
as having been paid from the Swap Trust; on any Distribution Date
on which the Certificate Interest Rate on one of these Certificates
is based on the Pool 1 Net WAC, the amount of interest that would
have accrued on the Certificates if the REMIC Net WAC Rate were
substituted for the Pool 1 Net WAC shall be treated as having been
paid by such Certificateholders to the Swap Trust, all pursuant to
and as further provided in Section 10.01(k) hereof.
(2)
The per annum certificate interest rate on the Class 2-A-1
Certificates will be equal to the lesser of (a) the related Fixed
Pass-Through Rate and (b) the Pool 2 Net WAC.
(3)
With respect to any Distribution Date on or prior to the
Distribution Date in November 2013, the per annum Certificate
Interest Rate on the Class 2-A-2, Class 2-A-3, Class 2-A-4, Class
2-A-5, Class 2-A-6, Class 2-A-7, Class 2-A-8, Class 2-M-1, Class
2-M-2, Class 2-B-1 and Class 2-B-2 Certificates will be equal to
the lesser of (a) the related Fixed Pass-Through Rate and (b) the
Pool 2 Net WAC. With respect to any Distribution Date on or
after the Distribution Date in December 2013, the per annum
Certificate Interest Rate on the Class 2-A-2, Class 2-A-3, Class
2-A-4, Class 2-A-5, Class 2-A-6, Class 2-A-7, Class 2-A-8, Class
2-M-1, Class 2-M-2, Class 2-B-1 and Class 2-B-2 Certificates will
be equal to the Pool 2 Net WAC, minus 0.25%.
(4)
The Class 1-P and Class 2-P Certificates will not receive any
distributions of interest but will be entitled to all Prepayment
Premiums on the Pool 1 Mortgage Loans and Pool 2 Mortgage Loans,
respectively.
(5)
The Class 1-CE Certificates will be entitled to all Pool 1 Net
Monthly Excess Cashflow remaining after distributions pursuant to
clauses 5.02(c)(i) through (xxviii) hereof. For purposes of
compliance with the REMIC Provisions, the Class 1-CE Certificates
shall represent ownership of a regular interest in the Upper Tier
REMIC (the "Class 1-CE Interest"), which shall comprise three
components. The first component has a notional balance equal
to the aggregate of the Class Principal Amounts of the Middle-Tier
REMIC 1 Regular Interests. The interest rate of the Class
1-CE Interest shall be a rate sufficient to cause all net interest
from the Pool 1 Mortgage Loans to accrue on the Class 1-CE Interest
that is in excess of the amount of interest that accrues on the
Pool 1 Certificates (other than the Class 1-CE Certificates).
For any Distribution Date, the Certificate Interest Rate in
respect of the Class 1-CE Interest shall be the excess of: (i) the
Middle-Tier REMIC 1 Net WAC Rate over (ii) the product of: (A) two
and (B) the weighted average interest rate of the Middle-Tier REMIC
1 Regular Interests (other than any interest-only interest), where
the MT1-Q Interest is subject to a cap equal to zero and each
remaining Middle-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interest is subject to a cap
equal to the Certificate Interest Rate on its Corresponding Class
of Certificates, determined by substituting the Middle-Tier REMIC 1
Net WAC Rate for the Pool 1 Net WAC in the definition thereof.
The second notional component represents the right to receive
all distributions in respect of the Class MT1-IO Interest in
Middle-Tier REMIC 1 (the "Class I" interest). The third
component represents the right to receive principal equal to the
excess of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Pool 1
Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date over the aggregate Initial
Class Principal Amount of each other Class of Pool 1Certificates
(other than the Class 1-P Certificates) as of the Closing Date.
Such principal balance shall not bear interest.
(6)
The Class 2-CE Certificates will be entitled to all Pool 2 Net
Monthly Excess Cashflow remaining after distributions pursuant to
clauses 5.02(f)(i) through (xvii) hereof. For purposes of
compliance with the REMIC Provisions, the Class 2-CE Certificates
shall represent ownership of a regular interest in the Upper Tier
REMIC (the "Class 2-CE Interest"), which shall comprise two
components. The first component has a notional balance equal
to the aggregate Class Principal Balance of the Lower-Tier REMIC 2
Regular Interests. The interest rate of the Class 2-CE
Interest shall be a rate sufficient to cause all net interest from
the Mortgage Loans to accrue on the Class 2-CE Interest that is in
excess of the amount of interest that accrues on the Pool 2
Certificates (other than the Class 2-CE Certificates). For
any Distribution Date, the Certificate Interest Rate in respect of
the Class 2-CE Interest shall be the excess of: (i) the Pool 2 Net
WAC over (ii) the product of: (A) two and (B) the weighted average
interest rate of the Lower-Tier REMIC 2 Regular Interests, where
the 2-LT-Q Interest is subject to a cap equal to zero and each
remaining Lower-Tier REMIC 2 Regular Interest is subject to a cap
equal to the Certificate Interest Rate on its Corresponding Class
of Certificates. The second component represents the right to
receive principal equal to the excess of the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Pool 2 Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date over the aggregate Initial Class Principal Amount of each
other Class of Pool 2 Certificates (other than the Class 2-P
Certificates) as of the Closing Date. Such principal balance
shall not bear interest.
As of the Cut-off Date, the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance
of the Pool 1 Mortgage Loans was $865,998,034 and the Aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of the Pool 2 Mortgage Loans was
$306,544,762.
The foregoing REMIC structure is intended to cause all of the
cash from the Mortgage Loans to flow through to the Upper-Tier
REMIC as cash flow on a REMIC regular interest, without creating
any shortfall—actual or potential (other than for credit
losses) to any REMIC regular interest. To the extent that the
structure is believed to diverge from such intention the parties
identifying such ambiguity shall notify the other parties hereto
and shall, in accordance with Section 12.03 of this Agreement,
attempt to clarify such ambiguity or correct any errors, including
drafting errors.

Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Seller or the related
Originator or receipt of written notice of any materially defective
document in, or, following the date of delivery to the Trustee of
either of the Custodians’ certifications as required under
the related Custodial Agreements, that a document is missing from,
a Trustee Mortgage File, or discovery by the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Seller or the related
Originator of the breach by such Originator or Seller of any
representation or warranty under the related Purchase and Servicing
Agreement or Purchase Agreement, as applicable, as modified by the
Acknowledgement, in the case of the Originator, or under this
Agreement, in the case of the Seller, in respect of any Mortgage
Loan which materially adversely affects the value of that Mortgage
Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders (a
"Defective Mortgage Loan") (each of the Depositor, the Seller and
the related Originator hereby agreeing to give written notice
thereof to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the other
of such parties), the Securities Administrator, or its designee,
shall promptly notify the Depositor, the Trustee and the Seller or
the related Originator, as applicable, in writing of such defective
or missing document or breach and request that the Seller or
related Originator deliver such missing document or cure or cause
the cure of such defect or breach within a period of time specified
in the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement or Purchase
Agreement, as applicable, and if the Trustee receives written
notice that the Seller or related Originator, as applicable, has
not delivered such missing document or cured such defect or breach
in all material respects during such period, the Trustee, on behalf
of the Trust, shall enforce the obligations of the related
Originator under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement or
Purchase Agreement, as applicable, as modified by the
Acknowledgement, or, to the extent that the related Originator
fails to cure such defect or breach, the Seller under this
Agreement, and shall cause the related Originator or the Seller, as
the case may be, to repurchase that Mortgage Loan from the Trust
Fund at the Purchase Price on or prior to the Determination Date
following the expiration of such specified period (subject to
Section 2.05(b) below); provided, however , that, in
connection with any such breach that could not reasonably have been
cured within such specified period (unless permitted a greater
period of time to cure under the related Purchase and Servicing
Agreement or Purchase Agreement, as applicable), subject to Section
2.05(c) below, if the related Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, shall have commenced to cure such breach within such
specified period, the related Originator or the Seller shall be
permitted to proceed thereafter diligently and expeditiously to
cure the same within such additional time as is reasonably
determined by the Trustee to cure such breach. To the extent
that any costs and damages are incurred by the Trust Fund as a
result of any violation of any applicable federal, state, or local
predatory or abusive lending law arising from or in connection with
the origination of any Mortgage Loan repurchased by the related
Originator or the Seller, such costs and damages shall be included
in the Purchase Price of such repurchased Mortgage Loan and shall
be borne by the Seller. The Purchase Price for the
repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the related
Distribution Account, and the Trustee, or its designee, upon
receipt of written certification from the Securities Administrator
of such deposit, shall release or cause the related Custodian to
release to the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, the
related Trustee Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, representation or warranties, as either party shall
furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in such party any
Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and the Trustee, or its
designee, shall have no further responsibility with regard to such
Trustee Mortgage File (it being understood that the Trustee shall
have no responsibility for determining the sufficiency of such
assignment for its intended purpose). If pursuant to the
foregoing provisions the related Originator or the Seller
repurchases a Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the
related Servicer shall cause MERS to designate on the MERS®
System the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, as the
beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.
In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided
above, either party may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from
the Trust Fund (in which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage
Loan) and substitute one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans in the
manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.05(b)
below. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of
the Originators and the Seller to cure or to repurchase (or to
substitute for) any related Mortgage Loan as to which a document is
missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as
to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall
constitute the sole remedy against the such party respecting such
omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee on behalf of
the Certificateholders.
(b)
Any substitution of Replacement Mortgage Loans for Deleted
Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.05(a) above must be
effected prior to the last Business Day that is within two years
after the Closing Date. As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for
which the related Originator or the Seller substitutes a
Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be
effected by delivering to the related Custodian, on behalf of the
Trustee, for such Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage
Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other
documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon,
together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that each such
Replacement Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and
specifying the Substitution Amount (as described below), if any, in
connection with such substitution. Monthly Payments due with
respect to Replacement Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution
shall not be included as part of the Trust Fund and shall be
retained by the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable.
For the month of substitution, distributions to the
Certificateholders shall reflect the collections and recoveries in
respect of such Deleted Mortgage in the Due Period preceding the
month of substitution and the related Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts
subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan.
Upon such substitution, such Replacement Mortgage Loan shall
constitute part of the Trust Fund and shall be subject in all
respects to the terms of this Agreement and the related Purchase
and Servicing Agreement or Purchase Agreement, as applicable, as
modified by the related Acknowledgement, including all
representations and warranties thereof included in such Purchase
and Servicing Agreement or Purchase Agreement, as applicable, as
modified by the Acknowledgement, in each case as of the date of
substitution.
For any month in which an Originator or the Seller substitutes
one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted
Mortgage Loans, the related Servicer shall determine the excess
(each, a "Substitution Amount"), if any, by which the aggregate
Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Replacement Mortgage
Loans replacing such Deleted Mortgage Loans, together with one
month’s interest on such excess amount at the applicable Net
Mortgage Rate. On the date of such substitution, the related
Originator or Seller, as applicable, shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to the related Servicer for deposit in the related
Custodial Account an amount equal to the related Substitution
Amount, if any, and the applicable Custodian, on behalf of the
Trustee, upon receipt of the related Replacement Mortgage Loan or
Loans and certification by such Servicer of such deposit, shall
release to the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, the
related Trustee Mortgage File or Files and shall execute and
deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case
without recourse, representation or warranty as the related
Originator or Seller shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary
to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant
hereto.
In addition, the related Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the
Trustee and the Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that such substitution (either specifically or as a
class of transactions) shall not cause an Adverse REMIC Event.
If such Opinion of Counsel can not be delivered, then such
substitution may only be effected at such time as the required
Opinion of Counsel can be given.
(c)
Upon discovery by the related Originator, the Seller, the
Depositor or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute
a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of
the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within two (2)
Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties.
In connection therewith, the applicable party shall
repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section
2.05(b), substitute one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans for the
affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery
or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage
Loan. Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in
the same manner as set forth in Section 2.05(a) above. The
Trustee shall re-convey to the related Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the
same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a
Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or
warranty.

SECTION 2.06
Grant Clause.
(a)
It is intended that the conveyance of the Depositor’s
right, title and interest in and to property constituting the Trust
Fund pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute, and shall be
construed as, a sale of such property and not a grant of a security
interest to secure a loan. However, if such conveyance is
deemed to be in respect of a loan, it is intended that: (1) the
rights and obligations of the parties shall be established pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement; (2) the Depositor hereby grants to
the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates a
first priority security interest in all of the Depositor’s
right, title and interest in, to and under, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired, the Trust Fund and all proceeds of any and all
property constituting the Trust Fund to secure payment of the
Certificates; and (3) this Agreement shall constitute a security
agreement under applicable law. If such conveyance is deemed
to be in respect of a loan and the trust created by this Agreement
terminates prior to the satisfaction of the claims of any Person
holding any Certificate, the security interest created hereby shall
continue in full force and effect and the Trustee shall be deemed
to be the collateral agent for the benefit of such Person, and all
proceeds shall be distributed as herein provided.
(b)
The Depositor shall, to the extent consistent with this
Agreement, take such reasonable actions as may be necessary to
ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security
interest in the Mortgage Loans and the other property described
above, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected
security interest of first priority under applicable law and will
be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement.
The Depositor will, at its own expense, make all initial
filings on or about the Closing Date and shall forward a copy of
such filing or filings to the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Depositor shall prepare and forward for filing, or
shall cause to be forwarded for filing, at the expense of the
Depositor, all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of
any original filings necessary under the relevant UCC to perfect
the Trustee’s security interest in or lien on the Mortgage
Loans, including without limitation (x) continuation statements,
and (y) such other statements as may be occasioned by (1) any
change of name of an Originator, the Depositor or the Trustee, (2)
any change of location of the place of business or the chief
executive office of the Seller or the Depositor, (3) any transfer
of any interest of an Originator or the Depositor in any Mortgage
Loan or (4) any change under the relevant UCC or other applicable
laws. Neither the Originators nor the Depositor shall
organize under the law of any jurisdiction other than the State
under which each is organized as of the Closing Date (whether
changing its jurisdiction of organization or organizing under an
additional jurisdiction) without giving 30 days prior written
notice of such action to its immediate and intermediate transferee,
including the Trustee. Before effecting such change, any
Originator or the Depositor proposing to change its jurisdiction of
organization shall prepare and file in the appropriate filing
office any financing statements or other statements necessary to
continue the perfection of the interests of its immediate and
mediate transferees, including the Trustee, in the Mortgage Loans.
In connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, each of the Originators and the Depositor authorizes its
immediate or mediate transferee to file in any filing office any
initial financing statements, any amendments to financing
statements, any continuation statements, or any other statements or
filings described in this paragraph (b), it being understood that
such immediate or mediate transferees are under no obligation to
make such filings.
SECTION 2.07
Swap Agreement.
The Depositor hereby directs the Securities Administrator to
execute and deliver on behalf of the Swap Trust the Swap Agreement
and authorizes the Securities Administrator to perform its
obligations thereunder on behalf of the Swap Trust in accordance
with the terms of the Swap Agreement. The Depositor hereby
authorizes and directs the Securities Administrator to ratify on
behalf of the Swap Trust, as the Swap Trust’s own actions,
the terms agreed to by the Depositor in relation to the Swap
Agreement, as reflected in the Swap Agreement, and the Securities
Administrator hereby so ratifies the Swap Agreement. Solely
in its capacity as Swap Trustee and not in its individual capacity,
the Swap Trustee shall have no responsibility for the contents of
such Swap Agreement, including, without limitation, the
representations and warranties contained therein.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or
in the Swap Agreement, neither the Swap Trustee nor the Securities
Administrator shall be required to make any payments from its own
funds to the Swap Provider. If based upon a notice from the
valuation agent pursuant to section 4(c) of the credit support
annex, the Securities Administrator determines that a delivery
amount exists, then the Securities Administrator shall demand such
amount pursuant to section 3(a) of the credit support annex.
The Securities Administrator shall amend the Swap Agreement
in accordance with its terms and as requested in writing by a party
to the Swap Agreement to cure any ambiguity in or correct or
supplement any provision of, the Swap Agreement; provided, however,
that any such amendment will not have a material adverse effect to
a Certificateholder as evidenced by a written confirmation from
each Rating Agency that such amendment would not result in the
reduction or withdrawal of the then current ratings of any
outstanding Class of Certificates. The Swap Agreement shall
not be part of any REMIC. The Swap Provider is the
calculation agent under the Swap Agreement and shall calculate all
amounts pursuant to the Swap Agreement and notify the Securities
Administrator of all such amounts.
(a)
The Depositor hereby directs the Securities Administrator to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Swap
Agreement on the Closing Date and thereafter on behalf of the
Holders of the Pool 1 Certificates. The Seller, the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Holders of the Pool 1 Certificates
by their acceptance of such Certificates acknowledge and agree that
the Securities Administrator shall execute, deliver and perform its
obligations under the Swap Agreement and shall do so solely in its
capacity as Securities Administrator as trustee of the Swap Trust
and not in its individual capacity.
(b)
The Depositor hereby instructs the Securities Administrator to
make any and all demands for Eligible Collateral (as defined in the
ISDA Master Agreement) under the Swap Agreement from the Swap
Provider in satisfaction of the Delivery Amount (as defined in the
ISDA Master Agreement) requirement. The Depositor hereby
instructs the Securities Administrator to deliver notice to the
Swap Provider upon any failure of the Swap Provider to transfer the
Delivery Amount (as defined in the ISDA Master Agreement) pursuant
to an Approved Credit Support Document (as defined in the Swap
Agreement).
ARTICLE III
THE CERTIFICATES
SECTION 3.01
The Certificates.
(a)
The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form only and
shall be securities governed by Article 8 of the New York Uniform
Commercial Code. The Uncertificated Interests shall be
issuable as uncertificated securities in registered form only and
shall be securities governed by Article 8 of the New York Uniform
Commercial Code. The Book-Entry Certificates will be
evidenced by one or more certificates, beneficial ownership of
which will be held in the dollar denominations in Certificate
Principal Amount, or Notional Amount, as applicable, or in the
Percentage Interests, specified herein. Each Class of
Book-Entry Certificates will be issued in the minimum denominations
in Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) specified in
the Preliminary Statement hereto and in integral multiples of $1 in
excess thereof. Each Class of Non-Book-Entry Certificates
other than the Residual Certificates shall be issued in definitive,
fully registered form in the minimum denominations in Certificate
Principal Amount specified in the Preliminary Statement hereto and
in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. The Class A-R,
Class 1-P and Class 2-P Certificates shall be issued as single
Certificates and maintained in definitive, fully registered form in
a denomination equal to 100% of the Percentage Interest of each
such Class. Each Uncertificated Interest shall be maintained
in fully registered form.
(b)
The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile
signature on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer of the
Trustee or of the Securities Administrator on its behalf.
Each Certificate shall, on original issue, be authenticated
by the Authenticating Agent upon the written order of the Depositor
upon receipt by the Trustee or the applicable Custodian on behalf
of the Trustee of the Trustee Mortgage Files described in Section
2.01. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under
this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears
on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially
in the form provided for herein, executed by an authorized officer
of the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, and such
certification upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence,
and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall
be dated the date of their authentication. At any time and
from time to time after the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the Depositor may deliver Certificates executed by the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee to
the Authenticating Agent for authentication, and the Authenticating
Agent shall authenticate and deliver such Certificates as in this
Agreement provided and not otherwise.
SECTION 3.02
Registration.
The Securities Administrator is hereby appointed, and the
Securities Administrator hereby accepts its appointment as, initial
Certificate Registrar in respect of the Certificates and shall
maintain books for the registration and for the transfer of
Certificates and the Uncertificated Interest (the "Certificate
Register"). The Trustee may appoint a bank or trust company
to act as successor Certificate Registrar. A registration
book shall be maintained for the Certificates and the
Uncertificated Interest collectively. The Certificate
Registrar may resign or be discharged or removed and a new
successor may be appointed in accordance with the procedures and
requirements set forth in Sections 6.06 and 6.07 hereof with
respect to the resignation, discharge or removal of the Securities
Administrator and the appointment of a successor Securities
Administrator. The Certificate Registrar may appoint, by a
written instrument delivered to the Holders and the Master
Servicer, any bank or trust company to act as co-registrar under
such conditions as the Certificate Registrar may prescribe;
provided, however , that the Certificate Registrar shall not
be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities hereunder by
reason of such appointment. The Certificate Register in
respect of the Uncertificated Interest shall contain a statement
that transfers of the Uncertificated Interest to a Disqualified
Organization are prohibited as provided in this Agreement.
SECTION 3.03
Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a)
A Certificate (other than Book-Entry Certificates which shall be
subject to Section 3.09 hereof) may be transferred by the Holder
thereof only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at
the office of the Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or
accompanied by an assignment duly executed by such Holder or his
duly authorized attorney in such form as shall be satisfactory to
the Certificate Registrar. Upon the transfer of any
Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Trustee
or the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee shall
execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and
deliver to the transferee, one or more new Certificates of the same
Class and evidencing, in the aggregate, the same aggregate
Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) as the
Certificate being transferred. An Uncertificated Interest may
be transferred by the Holder thereof upon written notice to the
Certificate Registrar and satisfaction of the other conditions set
forth in this Section 3.03. No service charge shall be
made to a Certificateholder for any registration of transfer of
Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of
a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may
be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer of
Certificates.
(b)
A Certificate may be exchanged by the Holder thereof for any
number of new Certificates of the same Class, in authorized
denominations, representing in the aggregate the same Certificate
Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) as the Certificate
surrendered, upon surrender of the Certificate to be exchanged at
the office of the Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by
such Holder or his duly authorized attorney in such form as is
satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar. Certificates
delivered upon any such exchange will evidence the same
obligations, and will be entitled to the same rights and
privileges, as the Certificates surrendered. No service
charge shall be made to a Certificateholder for any exchange of
Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of
a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may
be imposed in connection with any exchange of Certificates.
Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange,
the Trustee, or the Securities Administrator on behalf of the
Trustee, shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall
authenticate, date and deliver the Certificates which the
Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
(c)
By acceptance of a Restricted Certificate, whether upon original
issuance or subsequent transfer, each Holder of such a Certificate
acknowledges the restrictions on the transfer of such Certificate
set forth thereon and agrees that it will transfer such a
Certificate only as provided herein.
The following restrictions shall apply with respect to the
transfer and registration of transfer of a Restricted
Certificate:
(i)
The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a
Restricted Certificate if the requested transfer is (x) to the
Depositor or an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under the Act) of
the Depositor or (y) being made to a "qualified institutional
buyer" (a "QIB") as defined in Rule 144A under the Act by a
transferor that has provided the Certificate Registrar with a
certificate in the form of Exhibit H hereto; and
(ii)
The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a
Restricted Certificate if the requested transfer is being made to
an "accredited investor" under Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7)
under the Act, or to any Person all of the equity owners in which
are such accredited investors, by a transferor who furnishes to the
Certificate Registrar a letter of the transferee substantially in
the form of Exhibit I hereto.
(d)
No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate in the form of a
Definitive Certificate or that is an Uncertificated Interest shall
be made to any Person or shall be effective unless the Certificate
Registrar, on behalf of the Trustee, has received (A) a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto (or Exhibit B, in the
case of a Residual Certificate) from such transferee or (B) an
Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar to the effect that the purchase and holding of such a
Certificate will not constitute or result in any nonexempt
prohibited transactions under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of
the Code and will not subject the Certificate Registrar, the
Trustee, the Master Servicer, any Servicer, the Depositor or the
Securities Administrator to any obligation in addition to those
undertaken in the Agreement; provided, however , that the
Certificate Registrar will not require such certificate or opinion
in the event that, as a result of a change of law or otherwise,
counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar has rendered an
opinion to the effect that the purchase and holding of an
ERISA-Restricted Certificate by an employee benefit plan or other
retirement arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA, or Section
4975 of the Code, (collectively, a "Plan") or a Person that is
purchasing or holding such a Certificate with the assets of a Plan
will not constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under
Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject
the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the
Depositor, the Securities Administrator or any Servicer to any
obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement.
Each Transferee of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is a
Book-Entry Certificate shall be deemed to have made the
representations set forth in Exhibit J. The preparation and
delivery of the certificate and opinions referred to above shall
not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Certificate Registrar, the
Trustee, the Master Servicer, any Servicer the Depositor or the
Securities Administrator.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no opinion or certificate shall
be required for the initial transfer of the ERISA-Restricted
Certificates. The Certificate Registrar shall have no
obligation to monitor transfers of Book-Entry Certificates that are
ERISA-Restricted Certificates and shall have no liability for
transfers of such Certificates in violation of the transfer
restrictions. The Certificate Registrar shall be under no
liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any
ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this
Section 3.03(d), and none of the Securities Administrator, the
Trustee or the Paying Agent shall have any liability for making any
payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking
any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions
of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the
Certificate Registrar in accordance with the foregoing
requirements. The Securities Administrator, on behalf of the
Trustee, shall be entitled, but not obligated, to recover from any
Holder of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that was in fact a Plan
or a Person acting on behalf of a Plan any payments made on such
ERISA-Restricted Certificate at and after either such time.
Any such payments so recovered by the Securities
Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall be paid and
delivered by the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the
Trustee, to the last preceding Holder of such Certificate that is
not such a Plan or Person acting on behalf of a Plan.
(e)
No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate prior to the
termination of the Swap Agreement shall be made unless the
Securities Administrator and the Trustee shall have received a
representation letter from the transferee of such Certificate,
substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit J, to the effect
that either (i) such transferee is neither a Plan nor a Person
acting on behalf of any such Plan or using the assets of any such
Plan to effect such transfer or (ii) the acquisition and holding of
the ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate are eligible for exemptive
relief under Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 84-14,
PTCE 90-1, PTCE 91-38, PTCE 95-60, PTCE 96-23 or the non-fiduciary
service provider exemption under Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA.
Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any
purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate on
behalf of a Plan without the delivery to the Securities
Administrator and Trustee of a representation letter as described
above shall be void and of no effect. If the ERISA-Restricted
Swap Certificate is a Book-Entry Certificate, the transferee will
be deemed to have made a representation as provided in clause (i)
or (ii) of this paragraph, as applicable.
If any ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate, or any interest
therein, is acquired or held in violation of the provisions of the
preceding paragraph, the next preceding permitted beneficial owner
will be treated as the beneficial owner of that Certificate,
retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial
owner. Any purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or
holding of an ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate, or interest
therein, was effected in violation of the provisions of the
preceding paragraph shall indemnify to the extent permitted by law
and hold harmless the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the
Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer from and against any and all
liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by such parties as
a result of such acquisition or holding.
To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not
limited to, ERISA), the Securities Administrator shall be under no
liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any
ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate that is in fact not permitted by
this Section 5.02(e) or for making any payments due on such
Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with
respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so
long as the transfer was registered by the Securities Administrator
in accordance with the foregoing requirements.
(f)
As a condition of the registration of transfer or exchange of
any Certificate, the Certificate Registrar may require the
certified taxpayer identification number of the owner of the
Certificate and the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith;
provided, however , that the Certificate Registrar shall
have no obligation to require such payment or to determine whether
or not any such tax or charge may be applicable. No service
charge shall be made to the Certificateholder for any registration,
transfer or exchange of a Certificate.
(g)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no
Residual Certificate may be owned, pledged or transferred, directly
or indirectly, by or to (i) a Disqualified Organization or (ii) an
individual, corporation or partnership or other person unless such
person is (A) not a Non-U.S. Person or (B) is a Non-U.S. Person
that holds a Residual Certificate in connection with the conduct of
a trade or business within the United States and has furnished the
transferor and the Certificate Registrar with an effective Internal
Revenue Service Form W 8ECI or successor form at the time and in
the manner required by the Code (any such person who is not covered
by clause (A) or (B) above is referred to herein as a
"Non-permitted Foreign Holder").
Prior to and as a condition of the registration of any transfer,
sale or other disposition of a Residual Certificate, the proposed
transferee shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar an affidavit in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit B representing and warranting, among other things, that
such transferee is neither a Disqualified Organization, an agent or
nominee acting on behalf of a Disqualified Organization, nor a
Non-permitted Foreign Holder (any such transferee, a "Permitted
Transferee"), and the proposed transferor shall deliver to the
Trustee and the Certificate Registrar an affidavit in substantially
the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. In addition, the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may (but shall have no
obligation to) require, prior to and as a condition of any such
transfer, the delivery by the proposed transferee of an Opinion of
Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar,
that such proposed transferee or, if the proposed transferee is an
agent or nominee, the proposed beneficial owner, is not a
Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or a
Non-permitted Foreign Holder. Notwithstanding the
registration in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale, or
other disposition of a Residual Certificate to a Disqualified
Organization, an agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign
Holder, such registration shall be deemed to be of no legal force
or effect whatsoever and such Disqualified Organization, agent or
nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder shall not be
deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose hereunder,
including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions on such
Residual Certificate. The Depositor, the Certificate
Registrar and the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person
for any registration or transfer of a Residual Certificate to a
Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof or
Non-permitted Foreign Holder or for the Paying Agent making any
payments due on such Residual Certificate to the Holder thereof or
for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the
provisions of the Agreement, so long as the transfer was effected
in accordance with this Section 3.03(f), unless the Certificate
Registrar shall have actual knowledge at the time of such transfer
or the time of such payment or other action that the transferee is
a Disqualified Organization, or an agent or nominee thereof, or
Non-permitted Foreign Holder. The Certificate Registrar shall
be entitled to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate
that was a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or
Non-permitted Foreign Holder at the time it became a Holder or any
subsequent time it became a Disqualified Organization, agent or
nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder, all payments made
on such Residual Certificate at and after either such times (and
all costs and expenses, including but not limited to
attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection therewith). Any
payment (not including any such costs and expenses) so recovered by
the Certificate Registrar shall be paid and delivered to the last
preceding Holder of such Residual Certificate.
If any purported transferee shall become a registered Holder of
a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this
Section 3.03(f), then upon receipt of written notice to the
Certificate Registrar that the registration of transfer of such
Residual Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section
3.03(f), the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored
to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of such
registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate. The
Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee shall be under
no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of a
Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section
3.03(f), or for the Paying Agent making any payment due on such
Certificate to the registered Holder thereof or for taking any
other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of
this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered upon receipt
of the affidavit described in the preceding paragraph of this
Section 3.03(f).
(h)
Each Holder or Certificate Owner of a Restricted Certificate,
ERISA-Restricted Certificate, ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate, or
Residual Certificate, or an interest therein, by such
Holder’s or Owner’s acceptance thereof, shall be deemed
for all purposes to have consented to the provisions of this
section.
SECTION 3.04
Cancellation of Certificates.
Any Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be cancelled and retained in accordance with normal
retention policies with respect to cancelled certificates
maintained by the Certificate Registrar.
SECTION 3.05
Replacement of Certificates.
If (i) any Certificate is mutilated and is surrendered to the
Certificate Registrar or (ii) the Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of any Certificate, and there is delivered to the
Trustee and the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as
may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar that such destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate has been
acquired by a protected purchaser the Trustee, or the Securities
Administrator on behalf of the Trustee, shall execute and the
Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange
for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and Certificate
Principal Amount. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate
under this Section 3.05, the Trustee, the Depositor or the
Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and
expenses of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Certificate
Registrar) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate
issued pursuant to this Section 3.05 shall constitute complete and
indefeasible evidence of ownership in the applicable Trust Fund, as
if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed
Certificate shall be found at any time.
If after the delivery of such new Certificate, a protected
purchaser of the original Certificate in lieu of which such new
Certificate was issued presents for payment such original
Certificate, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the
Trustee or any agent shall be entitled to recover such new
Certificate from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person
taking therefrom, except a protected purchaser, and shall be
entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided
therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expenses
incurred by the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee
or any agent in connection therewith.
SECTION 3.06
Persons Deemed Owners.
Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09 with respect to
Book-Entry Certificates, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent and any agent
of any of them shall treat the Person in whose name any Certificate
is registered upon the books of the Certificate Registrar as the
owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving
distributions pursuant to Sections 5.01 and 5.02 and for all other
purposes whatsoever, and neither the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent
nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
SECTION 3.07
Temporary Certificates.
(a)
Pending the preparation of definitive Certificates, upon the
written order of the Depositor, or the Securities Administrator on
behalf of the Trustee, shall execute and the Authenticating Agent
shall authenticate and deliver temporary Certificates that are
printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise
produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the
tenor of the definitive Certificates in lieu of which they are
issued and with such variations as the authorized officers
executing such Certificates may determine, as evidenced by their
execution of such Certificates.
(b)
If temporary Certificates are issued, the Depositor will cause
definitive Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay.
After the preparation of definitive Certificates, the
temporary Certificates shall be exchangeable for definitive
Certificates upon surrender of the temporary Certificates at the
office or agency of the Certificate Registrar without charge to the
Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more
temporary Certificates, the Securities Administrator, on behalf of
the Trustee, shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like aggregate
Certificate Principal Amount of definitive Certificates of the same
Class in the authorized denominations. Until so exchanged,
the temporary Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to the
same benefits under this Agreement as definitive Certificates of
the same Class.
SECTION 3.08
Appointment of Paying Agent.
The Trustee may appoint a Paying Agent (which may be the
Trustee) for the purpose of making distributions to the
Certificateholders hereunder. The Trustee hereby appoints the
Securities Administrator as the initial Paying Agent. The
Trustee shall cause any Paying Agent, other than the Securities
Administrator, to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument
in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that such
Paying Agent will hold all sums held by it for the payment to the
Certificateholders in an Eligible Account (which shall be the
Distribution Account) in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid
to the Certificateholders. All funds remitted by the

If the Paying Agent is not the Trustee or the Securities

Register in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency, and no
Certificate Owner will receive a definitive certificate
representing such Certificate Owner’s interest in the
Book-Entry Certificates, except as provided in Section 3.09(c).
Unless Definitive Certificates have been issued to
Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates pursuant to Section
3.09(c):
(i)
the provisions of this Section 3.09 shall be in full force and
effect;
(ii)
the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Trustee
shall deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes (including the
making of distributions on the Book-Entry Certificates) as the
authorized representatives of the Certificate Owners and the
Clearing Agency and shall be responsible for crediting the amount
of such distributions to the accounts of such Persons entitled
thereto, in accordance with the Clearing Agency’s normal
procedures;
(iii)
to the extent that the provisions of this Section 3.09 conflict
with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this
Section 3.09 shall control; and
(iv)
the rights of Certificate Owners shall be exercised only through
the Clearing Agency and the Clearing Agency Participants and shall
be limited to those established by law and agreements between such
Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing
Agency Participants. Unless and until Definitive Certificates
are issued pursuant to Section 3.09(c), the initial Clearing Agency
will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency
Participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal
and interest on the Book-Entry Certificates to such Clearing Agency
Participants.
(b)
Whenever notice or other communication to the Certificateholders
is required under this Agreement, unless and until Definitive
Certificates shall have been issued to Certificate Owners pursuant
to Section 3.09(c), the Securities Administrator shall give all
such notices and communications specified herein to be given to
Holders of the Book-Entry Certificates to the Clearing Agency.
(c)
If (i) (A) the Clearing Agency or the Depositor advises the
Paying Agent in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer
willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities with
respect to the Book-Entry Certificates, and (B) the Depositor is
unable to locate a qualified successor satisfactory to the
Depositor and the Paying Agent, (ii) the Depositor, at its option,
advises the Paying Agent in writing that it elects to terminate the
book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or (iii) after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, Certificate Owners representing
beneficial interests aggregating not less than 50% of the Class
Principal Amount of a Class of Book-Entry Certificates advise the
Paying Agent and the Clearing Agency through the Clearing Agency
Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry
system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best
interests of the Certificate Owners of a Class of Book-Entry
Certificates, the Certificate Registrar shall notify the Clearing
Agency to effect notification to all Certificate Owners, through
the Clearing Agency, of the occurrence of any such event and of the
availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners
requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Certificate
Registrar of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Clearing Agency,
accompanied by registration instructions from the Clearing Agency
for registration, the Certificate Registrar shall issue the
Definitive Certificates. Neither the Depositor, the
Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay
in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and
shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the
issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein to
obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Clearing Agency
shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Certificate
Registrar, to the extent applicable, with respect to such
Definitive Certificates and the Certificate Registrar shall
recognize the holders of the Definitive Certificates as
Certificateholders hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Certificate Registrar, upon the written instruction of the
Depositor, shall have the right to issue Definitive Certificates on
the Closing Date in connection with credit enhancement
programs.
