Schedule I
Mortgage Loan Schedule
This Pooling and Servicing Agreement is
dated as of May 1, 2005 (the “ Agreement ”),
among GREENWICH CAPITAL ACCEPTANCE, INC., a Delaware corporation,
as depositor (the “ Depositor ”), GREENWICH
CAPITAL FINANCIAL PRODUCTS, INC., a Delaware corporation, as seller
(the “ Seller ”), 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 (the “
Trustee ”).
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:
Through this Agreement, the Depositor
intends to cause the issuance and sale of the HarborView Mortgage
Loan Trust 2005-4 Mortgage Loan Pass-Through Certificates, Series
2005-4 (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 sixteen classes of certificates,
designated as (i) the Class 1-A Certificates, (ii) the Class 2-A
Certificates, (iii) the Class 3-A1 Certificates, (iv) the Class
3-A2 Certificates, (v) the Class 4-A Certificates, (vi) the Class
5-A Certificates, (vii) the Class A-R Certificates, (viii) the
Class B-1 Certificates, (ix) the Class B-2 Certificates, (x) the
Class B-3 Certificates, (xi) the Class B-4 Certificates, (xii) the
Class B-5 Certificates, (xiii) the Class B-6 Certificates, (xiv)
the Class B-7 Certificates, (xv) the Class P Certificate and (xvi)
the Class A-R-II Certificate.
As provided herein, the Trustee shall
elect that the Trust Fund 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 P,
Class A-R-II and Class A-R Certificates, shall represent ownership
of a regular interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC, as described herein.
The Class P Certificate represents an interest in the Trust
Fund but does not represent an interest in any REMIC created
hereunder. The Class A-R Certificate represents the sole
class of residual interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC. The Class
A-R-II Certificate represents the sole class of residual interest
in the Lower-Tier REMIC.
The Lower-Tier REMIC shall hold as assets
all property of the Trust Fund (other than the Additional
Collateral) and the interests in any REMIC formed hereby. The
Upper-Tier REMIC shall hold as assets the uncertificated Lower-Tier
REMIC Interests, other than the Class LT-R Interest. Each
such Lower-Tier Interest is hereby designated as a REMIC regular
interest.

shall have a principal balance initially equal to 1% of the
Subordinate Component of its related Loan Group.
(2)
Each of these Lower-Tier Interests

distributed as interest with respect to the Lower Tier REMIC
Interests based on the interest rates described above. On
each Distribution Date, Net Interest Shortfalls attributable to any

Interests based on the relative amounts of interest otherwise
accrued for the related Accrual Period on each such Lower Tier
REMIC Interest.
On each Distribution Date, the remaining
Available Funds for each Loan Group shall be distributed as
principal on Lower Tier REMIC Interests as follows:
(i)
First, to the Class LT-SC1 Interest until

until the principal balance of such Lower-Tier Interest equals one
percent of the Subordinate Component for Loan Group 2 for the next

percent of the Subordinate Component for Loan Group 5 for the next
succeeding Distribution Date;
(vi)
Sixth, to the Class LT-SC1, the Class
LT-SC2, the Class LT-SC3, the Class LT-SC4 or the Class LT-SC5
Interests the minimum amount necessary to cause the ratio of the
principal balance of each such Lower-Tier Interest to the other
four such Lower-Tier Interests to equal the ratio of the
Subordinate Component related to such Lower-Tier Interest to the
Subordinate Components related to the other four Lower-Tier
Interests.
(vii)
Seventh, to the Class LT-Group 1, the
Class LT-Group 2, the Class LT-Group 3, LT-Group 4 and the Class
LT-Group 5 Interests as follows:
a.
To the Class LT-Group 1 Interest until
its principal balance equals the difference between (I) the Loan
Group Balance of Loan Group 1 on such Distribution Date,
minus (II) the principal balance of the Class LT-SC1
Interest on such Distribution Date, taking into account the
distributions under priorities (i) through (vi) above,
and
b.
To the Class LT-Group 2 Interest until
its principal balance equals the difference between (I) 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 (vi) above,
and
c.
To the Class LT-Group 3 Interest until
its principal balance equals the difference between (I) the Loan

minus (II) the principal balance of the Class LT-SC3
Interest on such Distribution Date, taking into account the
distributions under priorities (i) through (vi) above,
d.

Group Balance of Loan Group 4 on such Distribution Date,
minus (II) the principal balance of the Class LT-SC4
Interest on such Distribution Date, taking into account the
distributions under priorities (i) through (vi) above,
and
e.
To the Class LT-Group 5 Interest until
its principal balance equals the difference between (I) the Loan
Group Balance of Loan Group 5 on such Distribution Date,
minus (II) the principal balance of the Class LT-SC5
Interest on such Distribution Date, taking into account the
distributions under priorities (i) through (vi) above.
On each Distribution Date, Realized
Losses, and Excess Losses attributable to principal, with respect
to any Loan Group shall each be allocated among the Lower Tier
Interests in the same manner that principal is distributed among
such Lower Tier Interests. Excess Losses attributable to
interest with respect to any Loan Group shall be allocated among
the Lower Tier Interests in the same manner that interest is
distributable among such interests.

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

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

is missing from, a Mortgage File or of the breach by the related
Originator of any representation, warranty or covenant under the
related Purchase Agreement 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 shall
promptly notify such Originator of such defect, missing document or
breach and request that such Originator deliver such missing

and cause such Originator to repurchase that Mortgage Loan from the
Trust Fund at the Repurchase Price (as defined in the related

agreed that the obligation of the related Originator 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 such Originator respecting

of the Certificateholders.

notice 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 breach and request that the Seller cure such
breach within 90 days from the date that the Seller was notified of

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 Section 2.04 hereof, 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.
(c)
The Purchase Price or Repurchase Price
(as defined in the related Purchase Agreement) for a Mortgage Loan
purchased or repurchased under this Section 2.03 or such other
amount due shall be deposited in the Distribution Account on or
prior to the next Determination Date after the Seller’s or
the related Originator’s obligation to repurchase such
Mortgage Loan arises. The Trustee, upon receipt of written
certification from the Master Servicer of the related deposit in
the Distribution Account, shall release to the Seller or the
related Originator, as applicable, the related Mortgage File and
shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or
assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Seller or the
related Originator, as applicable, shall furnish to it and as shall
be necessary to vest in the Seller or the related Originator, as
applicable, 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 a breach of a representation, warranty
or covenant as described in this Section 2.03(b).
(d)
If pursuant to the provisions of Section
2.03(b), 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 applicable Servicer to take), at the
expense of the Seller (with the cooperation of the Depositor, the
Trustee and the Master Servicer), 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.
(e)
[Reserved].
(f)
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
related 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 Seller as to
the amount (each, a “ Substitution Adjustment
”), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price 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.
(g)
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(e),
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(b) 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.
(h)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the
extent that any fact, condition or event with respect to a Mortgage
Loan constitutes a breach of both (i) a representation or warranty
of the applicable Originator under the applicable Purchase
Agreement and (ii) a representation or warranty of the Seller under
this Agreement, in each case, which materially adversely affects
the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the
Certificateholders, the Trustee shall first request that the
Originator cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan and if
the Originator fails to cure such breach or repurchase such
Mortgage Loan within 60 days of receipt of such request from the
Trustee, the Trustee shall then request that the Seller cure such
breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loans.
SECTION 2.04. Representations
and Warranties of the Seller with Respect to the Mortgage Loans
.
The Seller hereby makes the following
representations and warranties to the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders as of the Closing Date with respect to the
Mortgage Loans:
(i)
Each Mortgage Loan at the time it was
made complied in all material respects with applicable local,
state, and federal laws, including, but not limited to, all
applicable predatory and abusive lending laws.
(ii)
No Mortgage Loan is a “High Cost
Loan” or “Covered Loan,” as applicable (as such
terms are defined in the then current Standard & Poor’s
LEVELS® Glossary which is now Version 5.6 Revised, Appendix E)
and no Mortgage Loan originated on or after October 1, 2002 through
March 6, 2003 is governed by the Georgia Fair Lending Act;
and
(iii)
With respect to each representation and
warranty with respect to any Mortgage Loan made by the related
Originator in the related Purchase Agreement that is made as of the
related Closing Date (as defined in the related Purchase
Agreement), to the Seller’s knowledge, no event has occurred
since the related Closing Date (as defined in the related Purchase
Agreement) that would render such representations and warranties to
be untrue in any material respect.
With respect to the representations and
warranties in this Section 2.04 that are made to the best of the
Seller’s knowledge or as to which the Seller has no
knowledge, if it is discovered by 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 interest therein of the
Certificateholders then, notwithstanding the Seller’s lack of
knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and
warranty being inaccurate at the time the representation or
warranty was made, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the
applicable representation or warranty.
It is understood and agreed that the
representations and warranties in this Section 2.04 shall survive
delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Trustee and shall inure to
the benefit of the Certificateholders notwithstanding any
restrictive or qualified endorsement or assignment. Upon
discovery by any of the Depositor, the Seller or the Trustee of a
breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties which
materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or
the interests therein of the Certificateholders, the party
discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the
other parties, and in no event later than two Business Days from
the date of such discovery. It is understood and agreed that
the obligations of the Seller set forth in Section 2.03(b) hereof
to cure, substitute for or repurchase a related Mortgage Loan
pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement constitute the
sole remedies available to the Certificateholders or to the Trustee
on their behalf respecting a breach of the representations and
warranties incorporated in this Section 2.04.

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND MASTER SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE
LOANS
SECTION 3.01. Master Servicer
to Service and Administer the Mortgage Loans .
The Master Servicer shall supervise,
monitor and oversee the obligation of the Servicers to service and
administer their respective Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement and shall have full
power and authority to do any and all things which it may deem
necessary or desirable in connection with such master servicing and
administration. In performing its obligations hereunder, the
Master Servicer shall act in a manner consistent with Accepted
Master Servicing Practices. Furthermore, the Master Servicer
shall oversee and consult with each Servicer as necessary from
time-to-time to carry out the Master Servicer’s obligations
hereunder, shall receive, review and evaluate all reports,
information and other data provided to the Master Servicer by each
Servicer and shall cause each Servicer to perform and observe the
covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or observed
by such Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement.
The Master Servicer shall independently and separately
monitor each Servicer’s servicing activities with respect to
each related Mortgage Loan, reconcile the results of such
monitoring with such information provided in the previous sentence
on a monthly basis and coordinate corrective adjustments to the
Servicers’ and Master Servicer’s records, and based on
such reconciled and corrected information, prepare the Remittance
Report and any other information and statements required of the
Master Servicer hereunder. Notwithstanding any provision of
this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement to the contrary, the
Master Servicer shall have no duty or obligation to supervise,
monitor or oversee the activities of, or to enforce the obligations
of the Servicer under its Servicing Agreement with respect to any
Additional Collateral, including, without limitation, the
collection of any amounts owing to the Trust Fund in respect
thereof (unless and until the Master Servicer shall have assumed
the obligations of such Servicer as successor servicer under the
related Servicing Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.01, in which
case, as successor servicer, it shall be bound to serve and
administer the Additional Collateral in accordance with the
provisions of such Servicing Agreement).
The Trustee shall furnish the Servicers
and the Master Servicer with any limited powers of attorney and
other documents in form acceptable to the Trustee, necessary or
appropriate to enable the Servicers and the Master Servicer to
service and administer the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property,
which limited powers of attorney shall provide that the Trustee
will not be liable for the actions or omissions of the Servicers or
Master Servicer in exercising such powers.
The Trustee shall provide access to the
records and documentation in possession of the Trustee (including
in its capacity as Custodian hereunder) regarding the related
Mortgage Loans and REO Property and the servicing thereof to the
Certificateholders, the FDIC, and the supervisory agents and
examiners of the FDIC, such access being afforded only upon
reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours
at the office of the Trustee; provided, however , that,
unless otherwise required by law, the Trustee shall not be required
to provide access to such records and documentation if the
provision thereof would violate the legal right to privacy of any
Mortgagor. The Trustee shall allow representatives of the
above entities to photocopy any of the records and documentation
and shall provide equipment for that purpose at a charge that
covers the Trustee’s actual costs.
The Trustee shall execute and deliver to
the related Servicer and the Master Servicer any court pleadings,
requests for trustee’s sale or other documents necessary or
desirable to (i) the foreclosure or trustee’s sale with
respect to a Mortgaged Property; (ii) any legal action brought to
obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or
Mortgage; (iii) obtain a deficiency judgment against the Mortgagor;
or (iv) enforce any other rights or remedies provided by the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or
equity.
SECTION 3.02. REMIC-Related
Covenants .

shall act in accordance herewith to assure continuing treatment of
such REMIC as a REMIC, and the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator shall comply with any directions of the Depositor,
the related Servicer or the Master Servicer to assure such
continuing treatment. In particular, the Trustee shall not
(a) sell or permit the sale of all or any portion of the Mortgage
Loans or of any investment of deposits in an Account unless such
sale is as a result of a repurchase of the Mortgage Loans pursuant
to this Agreement or the Trustee has received a REMIC Opinion
prepared at the expense of the Trust; and (b) other than with
respect to a substitution pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable, accept
any contribution to any REMIC after the Startup Day without receipt
of a REMIC Opinion.
SECTION 3.03. Monitoring of
Servicers .
(a)
The Master Servicer shall be responsible
for reporting to the Trustee (on behalf of the Trust) and the
Depositor the compliance by each Servicer with its duties under the
related Servicing Agreement. In the review of each
Servicer’s activities, the Master Servicer may rely upon an
officer’s certificate of the Servicer with regard to such
Servicer’s compliance with the terms of its Servicing
Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer, in its
judgment, determines that a Servicer should be terminated in
accordance with its Servicing Agreement, or that a notice should be
sent pursuant to such Servicing Agreement with respect to the
occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would constitute grounds
for such termination, the Master Servicer shall notify the
Depositor and the Trustee thereof and the Master Servicer shall
issue such notice or take such other action as it deems
appropriate.
(b)
The Master Servicer, for the benefit of
the Trust and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations
of each Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement, and shall,
in the event that a Servicer fails to perform its obligations in
accordance with the related Servicing Agreement, subject to the
preceding paragraph, terminate the rights and obligations of such
Servicer thereunder and act as servicer of the related Mortgage
Loans or enter into a new Servicing Agreement with a successor
Servicer selected by the Master Servicer which the Master Servicer
shall cause the Trustee to acknowledge; provided, however ,
it is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there
will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the
actual servicing functions can be fully transferred to such
successor Servicer. Such enforcement, including, without
limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of
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 Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment,
would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans.
Subject to Section 3.03(c) below, the Master Servicer shall
pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, provided that
the Master Servicer shall not be required to prosecute or defend
any legal action except to the extent that the Master Servicer
shall have received reasonable indemnity for its costs and expenses
in pursuing such action from the Trust Fund.
(c)
To the extent that the costs and expenses
of the Master Servicer related to any termination of a Servicer,
appointment of a successor Servicer or the transfer and assumption
of servicing by the Master Servicer or a successor Servicer with
respect to any Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation,
(i) all legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and
expenses associated with an evaluation of the potential termination
of the Servicer as a result of an event of default by such Servicer
and (ii) all costs and expenses associated with the complete
transfer of servicing, including all servicing files and all
servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of
such servicing data as may be required by the successor servicer to
correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or
otherwise to enable the successor service to service the Mortgage
Loans in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement) are not
fully and timely reimbursed by the terminated Servicer, the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and
expenses from the Distribution Account.
(d)
