PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:
The Depositor intends to sell
pass-through certificates to be issued hereunder in multiple

ownership interest in each REMIC (as defined herein) created
hereunder. The Trust Fund will consist of a segregated pool of
assets comprised of the Mortgage Loans and certain other related
assets subject to this Agreement.
REMIC I
As provided herein, the Trustee will
elect to treat the segregated pool of assets consisting of the
Mortgage Loans and certain other related assets (other than any
Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts, the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account and the Cap Contracts) subject to this
Agreement as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, and such
segregated pool of assets will be designated as “REMIC
I.” The Class R-I Interest will be the sole class of
“residual interests” in REMIC I for purposes of the
REMIC Provisions (as defined herein). The following table
irrevocably sets forth the designation, the REMIC I Remittance
Rate, the initial Uncertificated Balance and, for purposes of
satisfying Treasury regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the
“latest possible maturity date” for each of the REMIC I
Regular Interests (as defined herein). None of the REMIC I Regular
Interests will be certificated.

documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine
whether they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the
represented purpose or whether they have actually been recorded or
that they are other than what they purport to be on their
face
or (ii) to determine whether any
Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified in
clause (v) of Section 2.01.
Prior to the first anniversary date
of this Agreement, the Trustee shall cause the Custodian to deliver
as required under the Custodial Agreeement to the Depositor, the
Trustee and the Servicer a final certification in the form annexed
hereto as Exhibit C-2 evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage
Files, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon, and the
Servicer shall forward a copy thereof to any
Sub-Servicer.
If in the process of reviewing the
Mortgage Files and making or preparing, as the case may be, the
certifications referred to above, the Custodian, on behalf of the
Trustee, finds any document or documents constituting a part of a
Mortgage File to be missing or defective in any material respect,
at the conclusion of its review the Custodian, on behalf of the
Trustee, shall so notify the Depositor, the Trustee and the
Servicer. In addition, upon the discovery by the Depositor, the
Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the representations
and warranties made by the Originator or the Seller in the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which
materially adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests of
the related Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party
discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the
other parties.
The Trustee shall, at the written
request and expense of any Certificateholder, request the Custodian
to provide a written report to such Certificateholder of all
Mortgage Files released to the Servicer for servicing
purposes.
The Depositor and the Trustee intend
that the assignment and transfer herein contemplated constitute a
sale of the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Notes and the
related documents, conveying good title thereto free and clear of
any liens and encumbrances, from the Depositor to the Trustee in
trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders and that such
property not be part of the Depositor’s estate or property of
the Depositor in the event of any insolvency by the Depositor. In
the event that such conveyance is deemed to be, or to be made as
security for, a loan, the parties intend that the Depositor shall
be deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Trustee a
first priority perfected security interest in all of the
Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage
Loans, the related Mortgage Notes and the related documents, and
that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under
applicable law.

SECTION 2.03.
|
Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by
the Originator or the Seller.
|
(a) Upon
discovery or receipt of notice of any materially defective document
in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of the
breach by the Originator or the Seller of any representation,
warranty or covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
(including any representation, warranty or covenant regarding the
Prepayment Charge Schedule) in respect of any Mortgage Loan that
materially adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the
interest therein of the Certificateholders, the Trustee shall
promptly notify the Originator, the Seller and the Servicer of such
defect, missing document or breach and request that the Originator
or the Seller, as applicable, deliver such missing document or
cure
such defect or breach within 90 days
from the date the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, was
notified of such missing document, defect or breach, and if the
Originator or the Seller, as applicable, does not deliver such
missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material
respects during such period, the Servicer, to the extent it is not
the Originator, the Seller or an Affiliate of the Seller, and
otherwise the Trustee, in accordance with Section 3.02(b), shall
enforce the obligations of the Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to
repurchase such Mortgage Loan from REMIC I at the Purchase Price
within 90 days after the date on which the Originator or the
Seller, as applicable, was notified (subject to Section 2.03(c)) of
such missing document, defect or breach, if and to the extent that
the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, is obligated to do so
under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Price for
the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be remitted to the Servicer for
deposit in the Collection Account and the Trustee (or the Custodian
on behalf of the Trustee), upon receipt of written certification
from the Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the Originator
or the Seller, as applicable, the related Mortgage File and shall
execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in
each case without recourse, as the Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest
in the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, any Mortgage Loan
released pursuant hereto. The Trustee shall not have any further
responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File (it being
understood that neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall have
any responsibility for determining the sufficiency of such
assignment for its intended purpose). In lieu of repurchasing any
such Mortgage Loan as provided above, if so provided in the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from REMIC I
(in which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and
substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the
manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(b);
provided, however, the Originator may not substitute a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan for any Deleted Mortgage Loan that
violates any predatory or abusive lending law. It is understood and
agreed that the obligation of the Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, to cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any
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
respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee
and the Certificateholders.
(b) Any
substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for Deleted
Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) must be effected
prior to the date which is two years after the Startup Day for
REMIC I.
As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for
which the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, substitutes a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution
shall be effected by the Originator or the Seller, as applicable,
delivering to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, for such
Qualified Substitute 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, as are
required by Section 2.01, together with an Officers’
Certificate providing that each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the
Substitution Adjustment Amount (as described below), if any, in
connection with such substitution. In accordance with the Custodial
Agreement, the Trustee shall cause the Custodian to acknowledge
receipt for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans and, within ten Business Days
thereafter, review such documents as specified in Section 2.02 and
cause the Custodian to deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee and
the Servicer, with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit C-1, with any applicable exceptions noted
thereon. Within one year of the date of substitution, in accordance
with the Custodial Agreement, the Trustee shall cause the Custodian
to deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer a
certification substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 hereto with
respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with
any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with
respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of
substitution are not part of REMIC I and will be retained by the
Originator or the Seller, as applicable. For the month of
substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the
Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan on or before the
Due Date in the month of substitution, and the Originator or the
Seller, as applicable, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all
amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage
Loan. The Depositor shall give or cause to be given written notice
to the Certificateholders that such substitution has taken place,
shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of
such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the
substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and
shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the
Trustee and the Custodian. Upon such substitution, such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the
Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of
this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including,
all applicable representations and warranties thereof included in
the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.
For any month in which the
Originator or the Seller, as applicable, substitutes one or more
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted
Mortgage Loans, the Servicer will determine the amount (the
“Substitution Adjustment Amount”), if any, by which the
aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds
the aggregate of, as to each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan, the Stated Principal Balance thereof as of the date of
substitution, together with one month’s interest on such
Principal Balance at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate, plus all
outstanding Advances and Servicing Advances (including
Nonrecoverable Advances and Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances)
related thereto. On the date of such substitution, the Originator
or the Seller, as applicable, will deliver or cause to be delivered
to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account an amount
equal to the Substitution Adjustment Amount, if any, and upon
receipt by the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, of the related
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and certification by
the Servicer to the Trustee of such deposit, the Trustee shall
cause the Custodian to release as required by the Custodial
Agreement to the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, the
related Mortgage File or Files and the Trustee shall execute and
deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case
without recourse, the Originator or the Seller, as applicable,
shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any
Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
In addition, the Originator or the
Seller, as applicable, shall obtain at its own expense and deliver
to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on
any Trust REMIC, including without limitation, any federal tax
imposed on “prohibited transactions” under Section
860F(a)(1) of the Code or on
“contributions after the
startup date” under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or (b)
any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificate is outstanding.
(c) Upon
discovery by the Depositor, the Originator, the Seller, the
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
within two Business Days give written notice thereof to the other
parties. In connection therewith, the Originator, the Seller or the
Depositor shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth
in Section 2.03(b), substitute one or more Qualified Substitute
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. Such repurchase or substitution shall be
made by (i) the Originator or the Seller, as the case may be, if
the affected Mortgage Loan’s status as a non-qualified
mortgage is or results from a breach of any representation,
warranty or covenant made by the Originator or the Seller, as the
case may be, under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, or (ii)
the Depositor, if the affected Mortgage Loan’s status as a
non-qualified mortgage is a breach of no representation or
warranty. Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the
same manner as set forth in Section 2.03(a). The Trustee (or the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall reconvey to the
Depositor, the Originator or the Seller, as the case may be, 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.

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS
|
SECTION 3.01.
|
Servicer to Act as
Servicer.
|
The Servicer shall service and
administer the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Trust Fund and in
the best interests of and for the benefit of all Certificateholders
(as determined by the Servicer in its reasonable judgment) in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans
and, to the extent consistent with such terms, in the same manner
in which it services and administers similar mortgage loans for its
own portfolio, giving due consideration to customary and usual
standards of practice of mortgage lenders and loan servicers
administering similar mortgage loans but without regard
to:
(A) any
relationship that the Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or any Affiliate
of the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer may have with the related
Mortgagor;
(B) the
ownership or non-ownership of any Certificate by the Servicer or
any Affiliate of the Servicer;
|
(C)
|
the Servicer’s obligation to
make Advances or Servicing Advances; or
|
(D) the
Servicer’s or any Sub-Servicer’s right to receive
compensation for its services hereunder or with respect to any
particular transaction.
To the extent consistent with the
foregoing, the Servicer (a) shall seek the timely and complete
recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage Notes and (b)
shall waive (or permit a Sub-Servicer to waive) a Prepayment Charge
only under the following circumstances: (i) such waiver is standard
and customary in servicing similar Mortgage Loans, relates to a
default or a reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the
reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize recovery of total
proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge
and the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) such Prepayment Charge is
unenforceable in accordance with applicable law or the collection
of such related Prepayment Charge would otherwise violate
applicable law. If a Prepayment Charge is waived as permitted by
meeting the standards described in clause (ii) above, then the
Servicer (in its capacity as Originator) shall be required to pay
the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge, for the benefit of the
Holders of the P Certificates, by depositing such amount into the
Collection Account together with and at the time the amounts
prepaid on the related Mortgage Loan is required to be deposited
into the Collection Account. Subject only to the above-described
servicing standards and the terms of this Agreement and of the
Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall have full power and authority,
acting alone or through Sub-Servicers as provided in Section 3.02,
to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with
such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or
desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Servicer in its own name or in the name of a Sub-Servicer is hereby
authorized and empowered by the Trustee when the Servicer believes
it appropriate in its best judgment in accordance with the
servicing standards
set forth above, to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, and
upon notice to the Trustee, any and all instruments of satisfaction
or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and
all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage
Loans and the Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure
proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to
convert the ownership of such properties, and to hold or cause to
be held title to such properties, on behalf of the Trustee and
Certificateholders. The Servicer shall service and administer the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable state and federal law
and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be
provided to them thereby. The Servicer shall also comply in the
performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and
requirements of each insurer under any standard hazard insurance
policy. Subject to Section 3.17, within 15 days of the Closing
Date, the Trustee shall execute, at the written request of the
Servicer, and furnish to the Servicer and any Sub-Servicer any
special or limited powers of attorney for each county in which a
Mortgaged Property is located and other documents necessary or
appropriate to enable the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer to carry out
their servicing and administrative duties hereunder;
provided , such limited powers of attorney or other
documents shall be prepared by the Servicer and submitted to the
Trustee for execution. The Trustee shall not be liable for the
actions of the Servicer or any Sub-Servicers under such powers of
attorney.
Subject to Section 3.09 hereof, in
accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the
Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary
for the purpose of effecting the timely payment of taxes and
assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be
Servicing Advances reimbursable in the first instance from related
collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and
further as provided in Section 3.11. Any cost incurred by the
Servicer or by Sub-Servicers in effecting the timely payment of
taxes and assessments on a Mortgaged Property shall not, for the
purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be
added to the unpaid Stated Principal Balance of the related
Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan
so permit.
Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer may not make any future
advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan (except as provided in
Section 4.03) and the Servicer shall not (i) permit any
modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change
the Mortgage Rate, reduce or increase the Stated Principal Balance
(except for reductions resulting from actual payments of principal)
or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan (unless, as
provided in Section 3.07, the Mortgagor is in default with respect
to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the
Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) or (ii) permit any modification,
waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would
both (A) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan
under Section 1001 of the Code (or Treasury regulations promulgated
thereunder) and (B) cause any Trust REMIC created hereunder to fail
to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax
on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions
after the startup date” under the REMIC
Provisions.
