classes, which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial
ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans (as defined
herein).
REMIC I
As provided herein, the Trustee will
make an election to treat the segregated pool of assets consisting
of the Mortgage Loans and certain other related assets (exclusive
of the Corridor Contract and the Carryover Reserve Fund) subject to
this Agreement as a real estate mortgage investment conduit (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 represent the sole class of
“residual interests” in REMIC I for purposes of the
REMIC Provisions (as defined herein) under federal income tax law.
The following table irrevocably sets forth the designation,
remittance rate (the “Uncertificated REMIC I Pass-Through
Rate”) and initial Uncertificated Principal Balance for each
of the “regular interests” in REMIC I (the “REMIC
I Regular Interests”). The “latest possible maturity

Certificates and Class C Certificates, the calendar month preceding
the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. All calculations
of interest on the Certificates (other than the Class A-R, Class

interest on the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan as
to which the related Mortgaged Property is an REO Property or as to

Mortgage Loan has not yet become a Liquidated Mortgage Loan;
provided, however, that the net monthly rental income (if any) from
such REO Property deposited in the Certificate Account for such
Distribution Date pursuant to Section 3.12 may be used to offset
such Advance for the related REO Property; provided, further, that
for the avoidance of doubt, no Advances shall be required to be

recorded assignments of the Mortgage satisfying the requirements of
clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) concurrently with the execution and
delivery hereof, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Trustee a true copy of such Mortgage and of each
such undelivered interim assignment of the Mortgage each certified
by the Seller, the applicable title company, escrow agent or
attorney, or the originator of such Mortgage, as the case may be,
to be a true and complete copy of the original Mortgage or
assignment of Mortgage submitted for recording. For any such
Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage Loan the Seller shall
promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee such
original Mortgage and such assignment or assignments with evidence
of recording indicated thereon upon receipt thereof from the public
recording official, or a copy thereof, certified, if appropriate,
by the relevant recording office, but in no event shall any such
delivery be made later than 270 days following the Closing Date;
provided that in the event that by such date the Depositor is
unable to deliver or cause to be delivered each such Mortgage and
each interim assignment by reason of the fact that any such
documents have not been returned by the appropriate recording
office, or, in the case of each interim assignment, because the
related Mortgage has not been returned by the appropriate recording
office, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered such
documents to the Trustee as promptly as possible upon receipt
thereof. If the public recording office in which a Mortgage or
interim assignment thereof is recorded retains the original of such
Mortgage or assignment, a copy of the original Mortgage or
assignment so retained, with evidence of recording thereon,
certified to be true and complete by such recording office, shall
satisfy the Depositor’s obligations in Section 2.01. If any
document submitted for recording pursuant to this Agreement is (x)
lost prior to recording or rejected by the applicable recording
office, the Depositor shall immediately prepare or cause to be
prepared a substitute and submit it for recording, and shall
deliver copies and originals thereof in accordance with the
foregoing or (y) lost after recording, the Depositor shall deliver
to the Trustee a copy of such document certified by the applicable
public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the
original recorded document. The Depositor shall promptly forward or
cause to be forwarded to the Trustee (x) from time to time
additional original documents evidencing an assumption or
modification of a Mortgage Loan and (y) any other documents
required to be delivered by the Depositor or the Master Servicer to
the Trustee within the time periods specified in this Section
2.01.
