In the
event that in connection with any Mortgage Loan that is not
a MERS
Mortgage Loan the Depositor cannot deliver (a) the original
recorded Mortgage or
(b) all interim recorded assignments satisfying the requirements of
clause (ii)
or (iii) above,
respectively,
concurrently
with the execution and delivery
hereof because
such document or documents have not been returned from the
applicable public
recording office, the Depositor shall promptly
deliver or
cause to be delivered
to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf 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; provided,
however, in the event the Depositor is unable to deliver or
cause to be
delivered 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 or cause to be
delivered such
documents to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf as
promptly as possible
upon receipt thereof
and, in any event,
within 720 days
following the Closing Date. The Depositor shall forward or cause to
be forwarded
to the Trustee or the
Custodian on its behalf (a) from time to time additional
original documents
evidencing an
assumption or modification of a Mortgage Loan
and (b) any other
documents required to
be delivered by the
Depositor or the

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 or cause
to be delivered to the Trustee or
the Custodian
on its behalf a copy
of such Mortgage
certified by such
public
recording office
to be a true
and complete copy of the original recorded
Mortgage.
37
<PAGE>
In
addition, in the event
that in connection
with any Mortgage Loan
the
Depositor cannot
deliver or cause to be
delivered the original or duplicate
original lender's
title policy (together with all riders thereto), satisfying
the requirements
of clause (v) above, concurrently with the execution and
delivery hereof
because the related
Mortgage has not been
returned from the
applicable public
recording office, the Depositor shall promptly
deliver or
cause to be delivered
to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf such
original or duplicate
original lender's
title policy (together with all riders
thereto) upon receipt thereof from the applicable title insurer,
but in no event
shall any such
delivery of the original or duplicate original lender's title
policy be made
later than one year following the Closing Date; provided,
however, in the
event the Depositor is unable to deliver or cause to be
delivered by such date the original or duplicate original lender's title policy
(together with all
riders thereto)
because the related
Mortgage has not
been
returned by the
appropriate recording
office, the Depositor shall deliver or
cause to be delivered
such documents to the Trustee or the Custodian on its
behalf as promptly as possible upon receipt thereof and, in any event,
within
720 days following the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the preceding, in
connection with any
Mortgage Loan for which either the original or
duplicate
original title policy has not been delivered to the Trust, if at
any time during
the term of this Agreement the parent company of the Seller does
not have a long
term senior debt rating of A- or higher from S&P and A- or
higher from Fitch (if
rated by Fitch), then
the Depositor shall within 30 days deliver or cause to be
delivered to
the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf (if it has not
previously done so) a written commitment or interim binder or
preliminary report
of the title issued by the title insurance or escrow company with
respect to the
Mortgaged Property.
Subject to
the immediately
following sentence, as promptly as practicable
subsequent to such transfer and assignment, and in any event,
within thirty (30)
days thereafter,
the Master
Servicer shall (i) complete each assignment of
Mortgage, as follows: "First Horizon Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates,
Series
2005-1, The Bank of
New York, as trustee for the holders of the Certificates",
(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 Master Servicer has not received the
information required
to prepare such assignment in recordable form, the Master
Servicer'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 thirty (30) days after receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Master Servicer
need not cause to be recorded any assignment which relates
to a Mortgage Loan in any state other than the Required Recordation
States.
In the
case of Mortgage
Loans that have been prepaid in full as of the
Closing Date, the
Depositor, in lieu of
delivering the above
documents to the
Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf, will deposit in the Certificate
Account
the portion of such payment that is required to be deposited in the
Certificate
Account pursuant to Section 3.8 hereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
within thirty
days after the Closing Date, the Depositor shall either (i) deliver or cause
to
be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf the
Mortgage File as
required pursuant to
this Section 2.1 for each Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan or
(ii) (A) substitute or
cause to be
substituted a Substitute Mortgage Loan for
the Delay Delivery
Mortgage Loan or (B)
repurchase or cause to
be repurchased
the Delay Delivery
Mortgage Loan, which
substitution
or repurchase
shall be
accomplished in the
manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section
2.3 (treating each Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan as a Deleted
Mortgage Loan for
purposes of such Section 2.3), provided, however, that if the
Depositor fails to
deliver a Mortgage File for any Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan within the
thirty-day period
provided in the prior
sentence, the
Depositor shall use its
best reasonable efforts to effect or cause to be effected a
substitution, rather
than a repurchase of, such Deleted Mortgage Loan and provided
further that the
cure period provided for in Section 2.2 or in Section 2.3 shall not
apply to the
initial delivery of the Mortgage File for such Delay Delivery
Mortgage Loan, but
rather the Depositor
shall have five (5)
Business Days to cure
or cause to be
cured such failure to deliver. At the end of such thirty-day
period, the Trustee
or the Custodian, on
its behalf shall send a Delay Delivery Certification for
the Delay Delivery
Mortgage Loans delivered during such thirty-day period in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in
this Agreement,
none of the Mortgage
Loans in the Trust
Fund is or will be Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans.

Custodian shall be
under any duty or
obligation to
inspect, review or examine said documents,
instruments,
certificates or
other papers to determine that the same are
genuine, enforceable
or appropriate for the
represented
purpose or that
they
have actually been

they are other
than what they purport to be on their face.
On or

cause the Custodian to
list such as an
exception in the Final

provided, however
that neither the Trustee nor the
Custodian shall make any
determination as to
whether (i) any
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) any 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 Seller shall
promptly correct
or cure such defect within 90 days from the date it
was so
notified of such
defect and, if the Seller does not correct or cure such defect
within such period,
the Seller
shall 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
2.3, or (b) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee within 90
days from the
date the Seller 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 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 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 or shall cause the Custodian to
deliver written
notice to each Rating
Agency within 270 days
from the Closing Date
indicating
each Mortgage Loan (a) which has not been returned by the
appropriate
recording
office or (b) 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 or the Custodian
on its behalf.
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 2.5 hereof, 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 L. 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 Seller 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 M hereto, the Trustee shall cause the Custodian
to release the related Mortgage File to the Seller and shall
execute and deliver
at the Seller's request such instruments of transfer or
assignment prepared
by
the Seller, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in
the
Seller, or a designee,
the Trustee's interest in any Mortgage
Loan released
pursuant hereto. If pursuant to the foregoing provisions the Seller
repurchases
a Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall either
(i) cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in
recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Seller
and shall cause
such Mortgage
to be removed from registration on the MERS(R) System in
accordance with MERS'
rules and regulations
or (ii) cause MERS to designate on
the MERS(R) System the Seller as the beneficial holder of such
Mortgage Loan.
The
Trustee shall retain or shall cause the Custodian to retain
possession
and custody of each Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms
and conditions set forth herein. The Master Servicer shall promptly
deliver to
the Trustee or the
Custodian on its behalf, 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.

It is
understood
and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to
substitute for or to
purchase any Mortgage Loan which does not meet the
requirements of
Section 2.1 above shall constitute the sole remedy
respecting
such defect available
to the Trustee, the
Depositor and any
Certificateholder
against the Seller.
The
mortgage loans permitted by the terms of this Agreement to be
included
in the Trust Fund are limited to (i) the Mortgage Loans (which the Depositor
acquired pursuant to the MLPA, and which refers to, among other
representations
and warranties in the MLPA, a representation and warranty of the Seller that
no
Mortgage Loan is a "high cost loan" as defined by the specific
applicable local,
state or federal
predatory and abusive lending laws, and (ii) Substitute
Mortgage Loans (which, by definition as set forth in this Agreement
and referred
to in the MLPA, are
required to conform
to, among other
representations
and
warranties, a
representation
and warranty of the
Seller set forth in the MLPA
that no Substitute
Mortgage Loan is a "high cost loan" as defined by the
specific applicable local, state or federal predatory and abusive
lending laws).
It is therefore
understood
and agreed by the
parties hereto that it is not
intended that any
Mortgage Loan be included in the Trust Fund
that is a "high
cost loan" as defined in the by the specific applicable local, state or
federal
predatory and abusive lending laws.
SECTION
2.3 Representations and Warranties of the Master Servicer;
Covenants of the Seller.
(a) The Master
Servicer hereby makes
the representations
and warranties set
forth in
Schedule II hereto and by this reference incorporated herein, to
the
Depositor and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or if so
specified
therein,
as of the Cut-off Date.
(b) Upon
discovery
by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a
representation or
warranty made
pursuant to Schedule B
to the MLPA 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 hereby covenants that
within 90
days of the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of written
notice
from any party of a breach of any representation or warranty made
pursuant
to Schedule B to the MLPA which materially and adversely
affects
the
interests of the
Certificateholders
in any Mortgage
Loan, it shall
cure such
breach in all material
respects, and if such breach is not so
cured,
shall, (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 2.5 hereof, if
any, and any such
substitution pursuant
to (i) above
shall not be
effected prior to the
additional
delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf of a
Request
for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit M and the
Mortgage
File for any such
Substitute
Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall
promptly
reimburse the Master Servicer and the Trustee for any
expenses
reasonably
incurred by the Master Servicer or the Trustee in respect
of
enforcing
the remedies for such breach. With respect to the
representations and warranties described in this Section which are
made to
the best
of the Seller's
knowledge,
if it is discovered by either the
Depositor,
the Seller or the Trustee that the substance of such
representation and
warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially
and
adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the
interests of the
Certificateholders therein, notwithstanding the Seller's
lack of
knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation or
warranty,
such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable
representation or warranty.
41
<PAGE>
With
respect to any
Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans, the
Seller shall
deliver to the Trustee
or the Custodian
on its behalf 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
2.1, with the Mortgage
Note endorsed and the
Mortgage assigned as
required by
Section 2.1. 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 Seller on the next succeeding
Distribution
Date. For
the month of substitution, distributions to
Certificateholders
will include the monthly payment due on any Deleted Mortgage
Loan for such month and thereafter the Seller shall be entitled to retain
all
amounts received in
respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The 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 or Loans 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 Seller shall be deemed to have made
with
respect to
such Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of
substitution, the
representations and warranties made pursuant to Schedule B to
the MLPA 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 or shall cause the Custodian
to release the
Mortgage File held for
the benefit of the
Certificateholders
relating to such
Deleted Mortgage
Loan to the
Seller and shall execute and deliver at the
Seller's direction
such instruments of
transfer or assignment
prepared by the
Seller, in each case
without recourse,
as shall be necessary
to vest title in
the Seller, or its designee, the Trustee's interest in any Deleted
Mortgage Loan
substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.3.
For any
month in which
the Seller substitutes 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 principal balance 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 Seller 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.
42
<PAGE>
In the
event that the Seller shall have repurchased a Mortgage
Loan, the
Purchase Price therefor shall be deposited in the Certificate
Account pursuant
to Section
3.5 on or before
the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the
Distribution Date in
the month following
the month during which the Seller
became obligated
hereunder to repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan and upon
such deposit of the
Purchase Price, the delivery of the Opinion of Counsel
required by Section
2.5 and receipt of a Request for Release in the form of
Exhibit M hereto, the
Trustee shall
release or shall cause
the Custodian
to
release the related Mortgage File held for the benefit of the
Certificateholders
to such Person,
and the Trustee
shall execute and deliver or shall cause
the
Custodian to 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 Seller 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 Seller respecting such
breach available to
Certificateholders,
the Depositor or the
Trustee on their
behalf.
After
giving effect to the
sale of the
Certificates by the
Depositor to
the Underwriter, and thereafter, so long as any Certificates remain
outstanding,
the Seller, its affiliates and agents, collectively, shall not beneficially own
Certificates the
aggregate fair value
of which would
represent 90% or more of
the beneficial interests in the Trust Fund.
The
representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section 2.3
shall
survive delivery
of the respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee or the
Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
SECTION
2.4 Representations
and Warranties of the Depositor as to the
Mortgage Loans.
The
Depositor hereby
represents and
warrants to the Trustee with respect
to each Mortgage Loan
as of the date hereof or such other date set forth herein
that as of the Closing Date, and following the transfer of the
Mortgage Loans to
it pursuant to the MLPA and immediately prior to the conveyance of the
Mortgage
Loans by it to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.1(a) hereof,
the Depositor had
good title to the
Mortgage Loans and the
Mortgage Notes were subject to no
offsets, defenses or counterclaims.
It is
understood and agreed
that the
representations and
warranties set
forth in this Section 2.4 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 2.4
(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
2.5 Delivery of Opinion of Counsel in Connection with
Substitutions.
43
<PAGE>
(a)
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement,
no substitution
pursuant
to Section
2.2 or Section 2.3 shall be made more than 90
days
after the
Closing Date unless the Depositor delivers 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 Date,
as defined in Sections
860F(a)(2)
and 860G(d) of the
Code,
respectively,
or (ii) cause any
REMIC created hereunder 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
Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact
shall
promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of
discovery)
give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection
therewith,
the Trustee
shall require the Depositor to cause the
Seller,
pursuant
to the MLPA and at the Seller's option, to either (i)
substitute,
if the
conditions
in Section
2.3(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 2.3. The
Trustee shall
reconvey
or shall cause the Custodian to reconvey to the Seller 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 contained in Section 2.3.
SECTION
2.6 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.

REMIC Interest
L-I-A-ZZZ shall be Corresponding Classes to these classes of
Middle REMIC Interests: M-I-A-1, M-I-A-2, M-I-A-4, M-I-A-5, M-I-A-6,
M-I-A-7,
M-I-A-8, M-I-A-9,

(provided that with respect to M-B-1, M-B-2, M-B-3, M-B-4, M-B-5
and M-B-6, such
Lower REMIC Interests shall only correspond to the portion
supported by Pool I).
The Lower REMIC Interest L-II-A-1, Lower REMIC L-II-A-2 and Lower
REMIC Interest
L-II-A-ZZZ shall be
Corresponding
Classes to these
classes of Middle REMIC
Interests: M-II-A-1,
M-B-1, M-B-2, M-B-3, M-B-4, M-B-5 and M-B-6 (provided that
with respect to M-B-1,
M-B-2, M-B-3,
M-B-4, M-B-5 and
M-B-6, such Lower REMIC
Interests shall only correspond to the portion supported by Pool
II).
"L1
Interests" refers to the L-I-A-1 Lower REMIC Interest and the
L-II-A-1
Lower REMIC Interests. "L2 Interests" refers to the L-I-A-2 Lower
REMIC Interest
and the L-II-A-2 Lower
REMIC Interest.
"LZZZ Interests" refers to L-I-A-ZZZ
Lower REMIC Interest and L-II-A-ZZZ Lower REMIC Interest. Each L1
Interest shall
have a principal balance initially equal to 0.9% of the Group
Subordinate Amount
of its corresponding
Mortgage Pool. Each L2 Interest shall have a principal
balance initially
equal to 0.1% of the Group Subordinate Amount of its
corresponding Mortgage Pool. The initial principal balance of each
LZZZ Interest
shall equal
the excess of the Pool Principal Balance of its corresponding
Mortgage Pool over the sum of the initial principal balances of the
L1 Interests
and L2 Interests corresponding to such Mortgage Pool.
45
<PAGE>
Unless a
Cross-over Situation
(as defined below)
exists, principal and
Realized Losses
arising with respect
to each Mortgage Pool
shall be allocated
first to cause the L1 and L2 Interests corresponding to such Mortgage Pool to
equal 0.9% and 0.1% of the Group Subordinate Amount of such Mortgage Pool as
of
such Distribution
Date (after
distributions
of principal
and allocation of
Realized Losses are made) and all excess principal and Realized Losses
shall be
allocated to the LZZZ Interest corresponding to such Mortgage
Pool. A L1, L2 or
LZZZ Interest that is allocated principal on any Distribution Date
shall receive
such principal,
and have its principal
balance reduced by the amount of such
principal, on such
Distribution Date. Similarly, a L1, L2 or LZZZ Interest that
is allocated a Realized Loss on any Distribution Date shall have its principal
balance reduced by the amount of such Realized Loss on such
Distribution Date.
A
"Cross-over Situation"
exists if on any Distribution Date (after taking
into account
distributions of
principal and
allocations of Realized Losses on
such Distribution
Date) the L1 and L2
Interests
corresponding to any Mortgage
Pool are in the aggregate less than 1% of the Group
Subordinate
Amount of the
corresponding
Mortgage Pool.
If a Cross-over Situation exists on any
Distribution Date, and
the weighted average interest rate of the outstanding L1
and L2 Interests is less than the Pass-Through Rate for any Class
of Subordinate
Certificates for the
following Distribution Date, a Principal Reallocation
Payment (as defined below) shall be made proportionately to the outstanding L1
Interests prior to any other distributions of principal from
each such Mortgage
Pool so that the Calculation Rate equals the Pass-Through Rate for
each Class of
Subordinate
Certificates. If a
Cross-over Situation exists on any Distribution
Date, and the weighted
average rate of the
outstanding L1 and L2
Interests is
greater than the Pass-Through Rate for any Class of Subordinate
Certificates for
the following
Distribution Date, a Principal Reallocation Payment shall be
made
proportionately to the outstanding L2 Interests prior to any other
distributions
of principal from each
such Mortgage Pool so that the Calculation Rate equals
the Pass-Through Rate for each Class of Subordinate Certificates. A "Principal
Reallocation Payment"
is a distribution of the minimum amount of principal that
causes the Calculation
Rate (as defined
below) with respect to the outstanding
L1 and L2 Interests to equal the Pass-Through Rate for each Class
of Subordinate
Certificates. The
"Calculation Rate" shall equal the product of (i) 10 and (ii)
the weighted average
interest rate of the outstanding L1 and L2 Interests,
treating each L1 Interest as capped at zero or reduced by a fixed
percentage of
100% of the interest
accruing on such class. Principal Reallocation <
