Yield Maintenance Payments


This Pooling and Servicing Agreement is dated as of April 1, 2005 (the “ Agreement ”), among GREENWICH CAPITAL ACCEPTANCE, INC., a Delaware corporation, as depositor (the “ Depositor ”), PROVIDENT FUNDING ASSOCIATES, L.P., a California limited partnership, as seller (in such capacity, the “ Seller ”) and as servicer (in such capacity, the “ Servicer ”), and WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A., a national banking association, as master servicer (in such capacity, the “ Master Servicer ”) and as securities administrator (in such capacity, the “ Securities Administrator ”) and DEUTSCHE BANK NATIONAL TRUST COMPANY, a national banking association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “ Trustee ”) and custodian (in such capacity, the “ Custodian ”).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

Through this Agreement, the Depositor intends to cause the issuance and sale of the Provident Funding Mortgage Loan Trust 2005-1, Provident Funding Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2005-1 (the “ Certificates ”) representing in the aggregate the entire beneficial ownership of the Trust, the primary assets of which are the Mortgage Loans (as defined below).

The Depositor intends to sell the Certificates to be issued hereunder in multiple classes, which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund created hereunder.  The Certificates will consist of thirteen classes of certificates, designated as (i) the Class 1A-1 Certificates, (ii) the Class 2A-1 Certificates, (iii) the Class 3A-1 Certificates, (iv) the Class 3A-2 Certificates, (v) the Class X Certificate, (vi) the Class A-R Certificate, (vii) the Class B-1 Certificates, (viii) the Class B-2 Certificates, (ix) the Class B-3 Certificates, (x) the Class B-4 Certificates, (xi) the Class B-5 Certificates, (xii) the Class B-6 Certificates and (xiii) the Class Y Certificate.

As provided herein, the Securities Administrator shall elect that the Trust Fund (exclusive of the assets held in the Basis Risk Reserve Fund, the Yield Maintenance Account and the Yield Maintenance Agreement) be treated for federal income tax purposes as comprising two real estate mortgage investment conduits (each a “ REMIC ” or, in the alternative, the “ Lower Tier REMIC ” and the “ Upper Tier REMIC ”).  Each Certificate, other than the Class A-R and Class Y Certificate represents ownership of a regular interest in the Upper Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.  In addition, the Class 3A-1 and Class 3A-2 Certificates represent the right to receive payments in respect of Basis Risk Shortfalls.  The Class X Certificates, in addition to representing beneficial ownership of REMIC regular interests, also represent beneficial ownership of the Basis Risk Reserve Fund and the Yield Maintenance Account.  The Class A-R Certificate represents ownership of the sole class of residual interest in each of the Lower Tier REMIC and the Upper Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.

The Class Y Certificates, which will not have a Class Principal Balance and will not accrue interest, will only be entitled to received on any Distribution Date the excess, if any, of amounts paid with respect to the Yield Maintenance Agreement in excess of the Yield Maintenance Distributable Amount for the Yield Maintenance Agreement.  The Class Y Certificates will not represent an interest in any REMIC.

The Upper Tier REMIC shall hold as its assets the several classes of uncertificated Lower Tier Interests in the Lower Tier REMIC, other than the Class LT-A-R Interest, and each such Lower Tier Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Lower Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.  The Lower Tier REMIC shall hold as its assets the property of the Trust Fund.  

For purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the startup day is the Closing Date.  All REMIC regular and residual interests created hereby will be retired on or before the Latest Possible Maturity Date.

The Lower Tier REMIC

The following table sets forth (or describes) the Class designation, Pass-Through Rate and original class principal balance for each Class of interests in the Lower Tier REMIC (each of which, except for the LT-A-R Interest, is hereby designated a REMIC regular interest for purposes of the REMIC Provisions), each such Class a “ Lower Tier Interest ” comprising the interests in the Trust Fund created hereunder:

(v)

Fifth, to the Class LT-Group 1, Class LT-Group 2, and the Class LT-Group 3 Interests as follows:

b.

To the Class LT-Group 2 Interest until its principal balance equals the difference between (I) 25% of the Loan Group Balance of Loan Group 2 on such Distribution Date, minus (II) the principal balance of the Class LT-SC2 Interest on such Distribution Date, taking into account the distributions under priorities (i) through (iv) above; and

Upon discovery or receipt of notice of any materially defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File, the Seller shall have 90 days to cure such defect or deliver such missing document to the Trustee.  If the Seller does not cure such defect or deliver such missing document within such time period, the Seller shall either repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 2.03 hereof.  

The Depositor herewith delivers to the Trustee an executed copy of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

SECTION 2.02.   Acceptance by Trustee .

The Trustee hereby accepts its appointment as Custodian hereunder and acknowledges the receipt, subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to the review described below and any exceptions noted on the exception report described in the next paragraph below, of the documents referred to in Section 2.01 above and all other assets included in the definition of “Trust Fund” and declares that, in its capacity as Custodian, it holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting a Mortgage File, and that it holds or will hold all such assets and such other assets included in the definition of “Trust Fund” in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.

The Trustee further agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to review each Mortgage File delivered to it and to certify and deliver to the Depositor, the Seller and the Rating Agencies an interim certification in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-2, within 90 days after the Closing Date (or, with respect to any document delivered after the Startup Day, within 45 days of receipt and with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage, within five Business Days after the assignment thereof) that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception report annexed thereto as not being covered by such certification), (i) all documents required to be delivered to it pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement are in its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and have not been mutilated, damaged or torn and relate to such Mortgage Loan and (iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items (i) and (ii) of the Mortgage Loan Schedule accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File.  It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review, the Trustee is under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.

No later than 180 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor and the Seller a final certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G-3 evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.

If, in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making or preparing, as the case may be, the certifications referred to above, 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 Trustee  (or the Custodian as its designated agent) shall promptly notify the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Servicer and the Depositor.  In addition, upon the discovery by the Seller or the Depositor (or upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such breach) of a breach of any of the representations and warranties made by the Seller in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan that 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 to this Agreement.

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 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 Seller .

(a)

Upon discovery or receipt of written notice of any materially defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of the breach by the Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or in Section 2.04 or Section 2.08 hereof in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects the value of that Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, the Trustee (or the Custodian as its designated agent) shall promptly notify the Seller of such defect, missing document or breach and request that the Seller deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach within 90 days from the date that the Seller was notified of such missing document, defect or breach, and if the Seller does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall enforce the Seller’s obligation under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and cause the Seller 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 90 day period (subject to Section 2.03(e) below); provided, however, that, in connection with any such breach that could not reasonably have been cured within such 90 day period, if the Seller shall have commenced to cure such breach within such 90 day period, the Seller shall be permitted to proceed thereafter diligently and expeditiously to cure the same within the additional period provided under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; and, provided further, that, in the case of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Seller in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, which representations, warranties and covenants are also attached hereto as Schedule II, the Seller shall be obligated to cure such breach or purchase the affected Mortgage Loans for the Purchase Price or, if the Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged Property acquired with respect thereto has been sold, then the Seller shall pay, in lieu of the Purchase Price, any excess of the Purchase Price over the Net Liquidation Proceeds received upon such sale.  The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan or such other amount due shall be deposited in the Distribution Account on or prior to the next Determination Date after the Seller’s obligation to repurchase such Mortgage Loan arises.  The Securities Administrator shall remit to the parties entitled thereto the portions of the Purchase Price, if any specified in clause (iv) and (v) of the definition thereof.  The Trustee, upon receipt of written certification from the Securities Administrator of the related deposit in the Distribution Account, shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Seller shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File (it being understood that the Trustee shall have no responsibility for determining the sufficiency of such assignment for its intended purpose).  In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, the Seller 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 Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d) below.  It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller 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 against the Seller respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.

The Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement including, without limitation, any obligation of the Seller to purchase a Mortgage Loan on account of missing or defective documentation or on account of a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant as described in this Section 2.03(a).

(b)

If pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.03(a), the Seller repurchases or otherwise removes from the Trust Fund a Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall take (or shall cause the Servicer to take), at the expense of the Seller (with the cooperation of the Depositor and the Trustee), such actions as are necessary either (i) cause MERS to execute and deliver an Assignment of 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® System in accordance with MERS’ rules and regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on the MERS® System the Seller or its designee as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.

(c)

[Reserved].

(d)

Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(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 Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Seller 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 hereof, together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Adjustment (as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution; provided, however, that, in the case of any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall provide such documents and take such other action with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as are required pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof.  The Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall acknowledge receipt for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within five Business Days thereafter, shall review such documents as specified in Section 2.02 hereof and deliver to the Servicer, with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-2, with any exceptions noted thereon.  Within 180 days of the date of substitution, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall deliver to the Seller and the Master Servicer a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit G-3 hereto with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any exceptions noted thereon.  Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Seller.  For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the collections and recoveries in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan in the Due Period preceding the month of substitution and the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan.  The Seller 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.  Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the Trust Fund and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement and, in the case of a substitution effected by the Seller, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including, in the case of a substitution effected by the Seller all representations and warranties thereof included in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and all representations and warranties thereof set forth in Section 2.04 hereof, in each case as of the date of substitution.

For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Seller shall determine, and provide written certification to the Trustee and the Master Servicer as to the amount (each, a “ Substitution Adjustment ”), if any, by which the aggregate Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate, as to each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, of the principal balance thereof as of the date of substitution, together with one month’s interest on such principal balance at the applicable Net Loan Rate.  On or prior to the next Determination Date after the Seller’s obligation to repurchase the related Deleted Mortgage Loan arises, the Seller will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the related Substitution Adjustment, if any, and the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, upon receipt of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File or Files and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Seller shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.

In addition, the Seller 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) will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event.  If such Opinion of Counsel cannot be delivered, then such substitution may only be effected at such time as the required Opinion of Counsel can be given.

(e)

Upon discovery by 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 Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties.  In connection therewith, the Seller shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d), 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.  Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.03(a) above, if made by the Seller.  The Trustee shall 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.

SECTION 2.04.   Representations and Warranties of the Seller with Respect to the Mortgage Loans .

The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders that the representations and warranties made by the Seller pursuant to Schedule II to this Agreement are hereby being made to the Trustee and are true and correct as of the Closing Date.

ARTICLE III

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS

SECTION 3.01.   Servicer to Administer and Service the Mortgage Loans .

The Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Trustee and in the best interests of and for the benefit of the 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:

(i)

any relationship that the Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer may have with the related Mortgagor;

(ii)

the ownership or non-ownership of any Certificate by the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer;

(iii)

the Servicer’s obligation to make Advances or Servicing Advances; or

(iv)

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 shall seek to maximize the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage Notes.  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 hereof, 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 hereof, 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 and other documents prepared by the Servicer and necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer to carry out their servicing and administrative duties hereunder; provided, however, 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.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Servicer shall undertake to defend claims against the Trust, the Trustee and/or itself by a Mortgagor or otherwise related to the servicing of any Mortgage Loans.

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 hereof.  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 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 and the Servicer shall not (i) permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Loan Rate, reduce or increase the 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 hereof, 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 cause an Adverse REMIC Event.

The Servicer may delegate its responsibilities under this Agreement; provided, however, that no such delegation shall release the Servicer from the responsibilities or liabilities arising under this Agreement.

SECTION 3.02.   Sub-Servicing Agreements Between Servicer and Sub-Servicers .

(a)

The Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with Sub-Servicers for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a downgrading by the Rating Agencies of the rating on any Class of Certificates and the Servicer provides written notification to the Master Servicer of each such Sub-Servicing Agreement.

Each Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or states where the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Sub-Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing Agreement and (ii) a mortgage servicer approved by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.  Each Sub-Servicing Agreement must impose on the Sub-Servicer requirements conforming to the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 hereof and provide for servicing of the Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement.  The Servicer will examine each Sub-Servicing Agreement and will be familiar with the terms thereof.  The terms of any Sub-Servicing Agreement will not be inconsistent with any of the provisions of this Agreement.  The Servicer and the Sub-Servicers may enter into and make amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into different forms of Sub-Servicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form shall be made or entered into which could be reasonably expected to be materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights; provided, further, that the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights shall not be required (i) to cure any ambiguity or defect in a Sub-Servicing Agreement, (ii) to correct, modify or supplement any provisions of a Sub-Servicing Agreement, or (iii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under a Sub-Servicing Agreement, which, in each case, shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement.  Any variation without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights from the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 hereof relating to insurance or priority requirements of Sub-Servicing Accounts, or credits and charges to the Sub-Servicing Accounts or the timing and amount of remittances by the Sub-Servicers to the Servicer, are conclusively deemed to be inconsistent with this Agreement and therefore prohibited.  The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Master Servicer copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments or modifications thereof, promptly upon the Servicer’s execution and delivery of such instruments.

(b)

As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement including, without limitation, any obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments as required by a Sub-Servicing Agreement.  Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements, and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans.  The Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed.

SECTION 3.03.   Successor Sub-Servicers .

The Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement and the rights and obligations of any Sub-Servicer pursuant to any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Sub-Servicing Agreement.  In the event of termination of any Sub-Servicer, all servicing obligations of such Sub-Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by the Servicer without any act or deed on the part of such Sub-Servicer or the Servicer, and the Servicer either shall service directly the related Mortgage Loans or shall enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor Sub-Servicer which qualifies under Section 3.02 hereof.

Any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall include the provision that such agreement may be immediately terminated by the Servicer, the Master Servicer (if the Master Servicer is acting as successor Servicer) or the Trustee (if the Trustee is acting as successor Master Servicer) without fee, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in the event that the Servicer (or the Master Servicer, if such party is then acting as successor Servicer) shall, for any reason, no longer be the Servicer (including termination due to an Event of Default).

SECTION 3.04.   Liability of the Servicer .

Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement or the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a Sub-Servicer or reference to actions taken through a Sub-Servicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the Trustee and the Master Servicer and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01 hereof without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Sub-Servicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Sub-Servicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans.  The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Sub-Servicer for indemnification of the Servicer by such Sub-Servicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

SECTION 3.05.   No Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicers, Trustee  and the Master Servicer or Certificateholders .

Any Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer in its capacity as such shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the Servicer alone, Trustee and the Master Servicer and the Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer except as set forth in Section 3.06 hereof.  The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any Sub-Servicer, irrespective of whether the Servicer’s compensation pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient to pay such fees.

SECTION 3.06.   Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements by Master Servicer .

In the event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer (including by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default), the Master Servicer shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under each Sub-Servicing Agreement that the Servicer may have entered into, unless the Master Servicer elects to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with its terms as provided in Section 3.03 hereof.  Upon such assumption, the Master Servicer (or the successor Servicer appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 hereof) shall be deemed, subject to Section 3.03, to have assumed all of the departing Servicer’s interest therein and to have replaced the departing Servicer as a party to each Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if each Sub-Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party, except that (i) the departing Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement that arose before it ceased to be the Servicer and (ii) neither the Master Servicer nor any successor Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed any liability or obligation of the Servicer that arose before it ceased to be the Servicer.

The Servicer at its expense shall deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by or on behalf of it, and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing Agreements to the assuming party.

SECTION 3.07.   Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments .

The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any applicable insurance policies, follow such collection procedures as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account.  Consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or, if applicable, any penalty interest, or (ii) extend the due dates for the Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not greater than 180 days; provided, however, that any extension pursuant to clause (ii) above shall not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of any computation hereunder, except as provided below.  In the event of any such arrangement pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Servicer shall make timely advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant to Section 5.04 hereof and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, the Servicer, consistent with the standards set forth in Section 3.01 hereof, may also waive, modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including modifications that would change the Loan Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest or extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan), accept payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated Principal Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan, or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant indulgence to any Mortgagor (any and all such waivers, modifications, variances, forgiveness of principal or interest, postponements, or indulgences collectively referred to herein as “forbearance”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Servicer grant any such forbearance (other than as permitted by the second sentence of this Section) with respect to any one Mortgage Loan more than once in any 12-month period or more than three times over the life of such Mortgage Loan.  The Servicer’s analysis supporting any forbearance and the conclusion that any forbearance meets the standards of Section 3.01 hereof (including the standard that such forbearance will maximize the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage Notes) shall be reflected in writing in the Mortgage File.

SECTION 3.08.   Sub-Servicing Accounts .

In those cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer will be required to establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the “Sub-Servicing Account”).  The Sub-Servicing Agreement will provide that any Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall comply with all requirements of this Agreement relating to the Collection Account.  The Sub-Servicing Agreement will provide that the Sub-Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Sub-Servicer’s receipt thereof, all proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by the Sub-Servicer less its servicing compensation to the extent permitted by the Sub-Servicing Agreement, and shall thereafter deposit such amounts in the Sub-Servicing Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the receipt of such amounts.  The Sub-Servicing Agreement will provide that the Sub-Servicer shall thereafter deposit such proceeds in the Collection Account or remit such proceeds to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account not later than two Business Days after the deposit of such amounts in the Sub-Servicing Account.  For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on the Mortgage Loans when the Sub-Servicer receives such payments.

SECTION 3.09.   Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Servicing Accounts .

The Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more accounts (the “Servicing Accounts”), into which all Escrow Payments shall be deposited and retained.  Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts.  The Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Servicer’s receipt thereof, all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans and shall thereafter deposit such Escrow Payments in the Servicing Accounts, in no event more than two Business Days after the receipt of such Escrow Payments, all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans for the purpose of effecting the timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement.  Withdrawals of amounts from a Servicing Account may be made only to (i) effect payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, and comparable items in a manner and at a time that assures that the lien priority of the Mortgage is not jeopardized (or, with respect to the payment of taxes, in a manner and at a time that avoids the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure as a result of a tax lien); (ii) reimburse the Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer to the extent provided in the related Sub-Servicing Agreement) out of related collections for any Servicing Advances made pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof (with respect to taxes and assessments) and Section 3.14 hereof (with respect to hazard insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and as described below, to Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing Account; or (v) clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the termination of the Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities in respect of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement in accordance with Article XI hereof.  The Servicer will be responsible for the administration of the Servicing Accounts and will be obligated to make Servicing Advances to such accounts when and as necessary to avoid the lapse of insurance coverage on the Mortgaged Property, or which the Servicer knows, or in the exercise of the required standard of care of the Servicer hereunder should know, is necessary to avoid the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure as a result of a tax lien.  If any such payment has not been made and the Servicer receives notice of a tax lien with respect to the Mortgage being imposed, the Servicer will, within ten business days of such notice, advance or cause to be advanced funds necessary to discharge such lien on the Mortgaged Property.  As part of its servicing duties, the Servicer or Sub-Servicers shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in the Servicing Accounts, to the extent required by law and, to the extent that interest earned on funds in the Servicing Accounts is insufficient, to pay such interest from its or their own funds, without any reimbursement therefor.

SECTION 3.10.   Collection Account and Distribution Account .

On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more accounts (such account or accounts, the “Collection Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders.  The Servicer shall deposit into the Collection Account, no later than two Business Days following the Closing Date, any amounts representing payments of principal due in respect of the Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off Date and received by the Servicer prior to the Closing Date and any amounts representing payments of interest due in respect of the Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off Date and received by the Servicer prior to the Closing Date.  Thereafter, on behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the clearing account in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Servicer’s receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the Collection Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the Servicer’s receipt thereof, as and when received or as otherwise required hereunder, the following payments and collections received or made by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal or interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date) or payments (other than Principal Prepayments) received by it on or prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a Due Period subsequent thereto:

(i)

all payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments on the Mortgage Loans;

(ii)

all payments on account of interest (net of the Servicing Fee) on each Mortgage Loan;

(iii)

all Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds (other than proceeds collected in respect of any particular REO Property and amounts paid in connection with a purchase of Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof);

(iv)

any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12 hereof in connection with any losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the Collection Account;

any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 3.14(a) hereof in respect of any blanket policy deductibles;

(vii)

all amounts required to be deposited in connection with Substitution Adjustments pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof.

The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges, assumption fees, insufficient funds charges, prepayment premiums or other ancillary income need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account and may be retained by the Servicer as additional compensation.  In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

(b)

On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (such account or accounts, the “Distribution Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Certificateholders.  On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deliver to the Securities Administrator in immediately available funds for deposit in the Distribution Account on or before 1:00 pm New York time on the Servicer Remittance Date, that portion of the Available Funds (calculated without regard to the references in the definition thereof to amounts that may be withdrawn from the Distribution Account) for the related Distribution Date then on deposit in the Collection Account.

(c)

Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 3.12 hereof.  The Servicer shall give notice to the Securities Administrator of the location of the Collection Account maintained by it when established and prior to any change thereof.  The Securities Administrator shall give notice to the Servicer and the Depositor of the location of the Distribution Account when established and prior to any change thereof.

(d)

Funds held in the Collection Account at any time may be delivered by the Servicer to the Securities Administrator for deposit in an account (which may be the Distribution Account and must satisfy the standards for the Distribution Account as set forth in the definition thereof) and for all purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a part of the Collection Account; provided, however, that the Securities Administrator shall have the sole authority to withdraw any funds held in the Distribution Account pursuant to this subsection (d).  In the event the Servicer shall deliver to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time request that the Securities Administrator withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account and remit to it any such amount, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.  In addition, the Servicer, with respect to items (i) through (iv) below and the Master Servicer, with respect to item (v) below, shall deliver to the Securities Administrator from time to time for deposit, and the Securities Administrator, with respect to items (i) through (v) below, shall so deposit, in the Distribution Account:

(ii)

any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.23(d) or (f) hereof in connection with any REO Property;

SECTION 3.12.   Investment of Funds in the Collection Account and Distribution Account .

(a)

The Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection Account (each such account, for purposes of this Section 3.12, an “Investment Account”), to invest the funds in such Investment Account in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement.  Funds in the Distribution Account may be invested in Permitted Investments selected by the Securities Administrator.  All such Permitted Investments shall mature no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, unless such Permitted Investments are payable on demand, in which case they may be withdrawn on the date that funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement.  Any investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Securities Administrator (in its capacity as such), or in the name of a nominee of the Securities Administrator.  The Securities Administrator may be entitled to sole possession or control (except with respect to investment direction of funds held in the Collection Account and any income and gain realized thereon) over each such investment, and any certificate, securities entitlement or other instrument evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Securities Administrator or its agent, together with any document of transfer necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Securities Administrator or its nominee.  In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Servicer shall:

(i)

consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) all amounts then payable thereunder and (B) the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and

(ii)

demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by a Responsible Officer of the Securities Administrator that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the Investment Account.

(b)

All income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the Collection Account and any REO Account held by or on behalf of the Servicer shall be for the benefit of the Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.11 or Section 3.23 hereof, as applicable.  The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account or any REO Account, as applicable, the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately upon realization of such loss.

(c)

The benefit derived from funds deposited in the Distribution Account and any Permitted Investments for one Business Day thereon shall be for the benefit of the Securities Administrator.  The Securities Administrator shall deposit in the Distribution Account the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately upon realization of such loss.

(d)

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Securities Administrator may and, subject to Section 8.01 and Section 8.02(a)(v), upon the request of the Holders of Certificates representing more than 50% of the Voting Rights allocated to any Class of Certificates, shall take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.

SECTION 3.13.   Yield Maintenance Account.  

On or prior to the Closing Date, the Securities Administrator shall cause to be established and maintained the Yield Maintenance Account, into which amounts received by the Securities Administrator pursuant to the Yield Maintenance Agreement shall be deposited for the benefit of the Class 3A-1, Class 3A-2, Class X and Class Y Certificates.  Amounts on deposit in the Yield Maintenance Account shall not be invested and shall not be held in an interest-bearing account.  

 

On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall withdraw from the Yield Maintenance Account the Yield Maintenance Distributable Amount then on deposit therein, and deposit such amounts in the Distribution Account for payment to the Class 3A-1 and Class 3A-2 Certificates.  With respect to each Distribution Date on which a Yield Maintenance Payment is received under the Yield Maintenance Agreement, the Securities Administrator, as Paying Agent, will pay to the related Certificateholders from the Yield Maintenance Distributable Amount, up to the amount of current interest that each such Class would have been entitled to receive had the applicable note interest rate been calculated at the lesser of (a) One-Month LIBOR plus the applicable Margin for the related Accrual Period and (b) 10.50% per annum, to the extent not paid out of the Available Funds for such Payment Date.  Any amounts remaining in the Distribution Account after distributions are made to the Class 3A-1 and Class 3A-2 Certificates from the Yield Maintenance Distributable Amounts shall be distributed to the Class X-2 Certificates.  

 

For any Distribution Date on which there is a payment under the Yield Maintenance Agreement and such Yield Maintenance Payment exceeds the related Yield Maintenance Distributable Amount, the amount representing such excess payment shall not be an asset of the Trust Fund and, instead, shall be paid into and distributed out of a separate trust created by this Agreement for the benefit of the Class Y Certificates and shall be distributed to the Class Y Certificates pursuant to this Section 4.04.  Under the Yield Maintenance Agreement and for each Distribution Date, the Class Y Certificates shall be entitled to a distribution equal to the sum of (i) such excess and (ii) the excess of the related Yield Maintenance Distributable Amount over the amount of unpaid Basis Risk Shortfalls with respect to the related Certificates.

The Securities Administrator shall terminate the Yield Maintenance Provider upon the occurrence of an event of default or termination event under the Yield Maintenance Agreement of which a Responsible Officer of the Securities Administrator has actual knowledge.  In the event that the Yield Maintenance Agreement is canceled or otherwise terminated for any reason (other than the exhaustion of the interest rate protection provided thereby), the Securities Administrator shall, at the direction of Certificateholders evidencing Voting Rights not less than 50% of the Certificates related to the Yield Maintenance Agreement, and to the extent a replacement contract is available (from a counterparty designated by the Depositor and acceptable to Certificateholders evidencing Voting Rights not less than 50% of the related Certificates), execute a replacement contract comparable to such Yield Maintenance Agreement providing interest rate protection which is equal to the then-existing protection provided by the Yield Maintenance Agreement as certified to the Securities Administrator by the Depositor; provided, however, that the cost of any such replacement contract providing the same interest rate protection may be reduced to a level such that the cost of such replacement contract shall not exceed the amount of any early termination payment received from the Yield Maintenance Provider; provided, further, that any costs incurred by the Securities Administrator in association with the termination of the Yield Maintenance Provider or the entering into of a replacement contract will be reimbursed to the Securities Administrator by the Trust Fund.

 

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

 

For federal income tax purposes, the Class Y Certificates shall represent an interest in each of the Yield Maintenance Agreements.  Accordingly, a Class Y Certificateholder should account for its investment in Class Y Certificates under the rules set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.446-3(c), which concern notional principal contracts.  

On any Distribution Date on or prior to the Distribution Date in February 2013, if the aggregate Class Certificate Principal Balance of the Certificates related to the Yield Maintenance Agreement equals zero (but not including the Distribution Date on which such aggregate Class Certificate Principal Balance is reduced to zero), all amounts received by the Securities Administrator with respect to the Yield Maintenance Agreement shall be distributed directly to the Class Y Certificateholder.  On the Distribution Date in February 2013 or upon the termination of the Trust, the Yield Maintenance Agreements shall be terminated.

SECTION 3.14.   Maintenance of Hazard Insurance Polices and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage .

(a)

The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire insurance with extended coverage on all buildings upon the Mortgaged Property in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of the current Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan and the amount necessary to fully comp
