         THIS POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated November 22, 2005, is

hereby executed by and among WACHOVIA MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST, LLC, as Depositor,

WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION ("Wells Fargo"), as Master Servicer and

Certificate Administrator, NATIONAL CITY MORTGAGE CO. ("National City"), as a

                          W I T N E S S E T H   T H A T:

 

         In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the

Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicers, the Certificate Administrator and

         In exchange for the Certificates, the Depositor will convey the Trust

Estate to the Trustee and create the Trust.

 

                            LOWER-TIER REMIC

 

         As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator, on behalf of the

Trustee, will make an election to treat the entire segregated pool of assets

described in the definition of Trust Estate (including the Mortgage Loans), and

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 the "Lower-Tier REMIC." Component I of the Class 1-A-R

Certificates will represent ownership of the sole class of "residual interests"

in the Lower-Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions (as defined

herein).

 

         The following table irrevocably sets forth the designation,

Uncertificated Pass-Through Rate and initial Uncertificated Principal Balance

for each of the "regular interests" in the Lower-Tier REMIC (the "Uncertificated

Lower-Tier Regular Interests") and the designation, Pass-Through Rate and

initial Class Certificate Balance of Component I of the Class 1-A-R

Certificates. None of the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Regular Interests will be

certificated. Solely for purposes of satisfying Treasury regulation Section

1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the "latest possible maturity date" for each of the

Uncertificated Lower-Tier Regular Interests and Component I of the Class 1-A-R

Certificates shall be the REMIC Certificate Maturity Date.

                        CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS;

                       ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES

 

                  Section 2.01   Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.

 

                  (a)       The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and

delivery hereof, hereby sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise

conveys to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust for the benefit of the

Certificateholders, without recourse, all the right, title and interest of the

Depositor in and to the Mortgage Loans, including all interest and principal

received on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than payments of

principal and interest due and payable on the Mortgage Loans on or before the

Cut-Off Date), all accounts, chattel paper, deposit accounts, documents, general

intangibles, goods, instruments, investment property, letter-of-credit rights,

letters of credit, money, and oil, gas, and other minerals, consisting of,

arising from, or relating to, any of the foregoing, and all proceeds of the

foregoing. The foregoing sale, transfer, assignment and set over does not and is

not intended to result in a creation of an assumption by the Trustee of any

obligation of the Depositor or any other Person in connection with the Mortgage

Loans or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, except as specifically

set forth herein. In connection with the conveyance by the Depositor of the

Mortgage Loans, the Depositor further agrees, at its own expense, on or prior to

the Closing Date, to indicate on its books and records that the Mortgage Loans

have been sold to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust pursuant to this Agreement,

and to deliver to the Trustee the Mortgage Loan Schedule. The Mortgage Loan

Schedule shall be marked as Exhibit D-1, Exhibit D-2, Exhibit D-3 and Exhibit

D-4 to this Agreement and is hereby incorporated into and made a part of this

Agreement.

 

                   (b)       In connection with such transfer and assignment, the

Depositor has delivered or caused to be delivered to the Custodian, on behalf of

the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the following documents

or instruments with respect to each Mortgage Loan so assigned:

 

                           (i)       the original Mortgage Note, endorsed by

         manual or facsimile signature either (A) in blank or (B) in the

         following form: "Pay to the order of U.S. Bank National Association, as

         Trustee, without recourse," with all necessary intervening endorsements

         showing a complete chain of endorsement from the originator to the

         Trustee (each such endorsement being sufficient to transfer all right,

          title and interest of the party so endorsing in and to that Mortgage

         Note);

 

                           (ii)      except as provided below, the original

         recorded Mortgage with evidence of a recording thereon, or if any such

         Mortgage has not been returned from the applicable recording office or

         has been lost, or if such public recording office retains the

        

                                      35

 

 

<PAGE>

 

        

         original recorded Mortgage, a copy of such Mortgage certified by the

         Depositor as being a true and correct copy of the Mortgage, if such

         copy is available;

 

                           (iii)     subject to the provisos at the end of this

         paragraph, a duly executed Assignment of Mortgage to "U.S. Bank

         National Association, as trustee for the holders of the

         WachoviaMortgage Loan Trust, LLC Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates,

         Series 2005-B Certificates" (which may be included in a blanket

          assignment or assignments), together with, except as provided below,

         originals of all interim recorded assignments of such mortgage or

         copies of such interim assignments certified by the Depositor as being

         true and complete copies of the original recorded intervening

         assignments of mortgage (each such assignment, when duly and validly

         completed, to be in recordable form and sufficient to effect the

         assignment of the related Mortgage to the assignee thereof); provided

         that, if the related Mortgage has not been returned from the applicable

         public recording office, such Assignment of Mortgage may exclude the

         information to be provided by the recording office; and provided,

         further, if the related Mortgage has been recorded in the name of

         Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. ("MERS") or its

         designee, no Assignment of Mortgage in favor of the Trustee will be

         required to be prepared or delivered and instead, the Servicer

         servicing such Mortgage shall take all actions as are necessary to

         cause the Trust or the Trustee to be shown as the owner of the related

         Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS for purposes of the system of

         recording transfers of mortgages maintained by MERS;

 

                           (iv)      the originals of all assumption,

         modification, consolidation or extension agreements, if any, with

         evidence of recording thereon, if any;

              

                           (v)       the original or duplicate original mortgagee

         title insurance policy and all riders thereto;

 

                           (vi)      the original of any guarantee executed in

          connection with the Mortgage Note;

 

                           (vii)     for each Mortgage Loan, if any, which is

         secured by a residential long-term lease, a copy of the lease with

         evidence of recording indicated thereon, or, if the lease is in the

         process of being recorded, a photocopy of the lease, certified by an

         officer of the respective prior owner of such Mortgage Loan or by the

         applicable title insurance company, closing/settlement/escrow agent or

          company or closing attorney to be a true and correct copy of the lease

         transmitted for recordation;

 

                           (viii)    the original of any security agreement,

         chattel mortgage or equivalent document executed in connection with the

         Mortgage; and

 

                           (ix)      for each Mortgage Loan secured by Co-op

         Shares, the originals of the following documents or instruments:

 

                                    (A)     The stock certificate;

 

                                    (B)     The stock power executed in blank;

        

                                      36

 

 

<PAGE>

 

 

                                    (C)     The executed proprietary lease;

 

                                    (D)     The executed recognition agreement;

 

                                    (E)     The executed assignment of

                           recognition agreement, if any;

 

                                    (F)     The executed UCC-1 financing

                            statement with evidence of recording thereon; and

 

                                    (G)     Executed UCC-3 financing statements

                           or other appropriate UCC financing statements,

                           evidencing a complete and unbroken line of

                           assignments from the mortgagee to the Trustee with

                           evidence of recording thereon (or in a form suitable

                           for recordation).

 

provided, however, that on the Closing Date, with respect to item (iii), the

Depositor has delivered to the Custodian a copy of such Assignment of Mortgage

in blank and has caused the Servicer servicing the related Mortgage Loan to

retain the completed Assignment of Mortgage for recording as described below,

unless such Mortgage has been recorded in the name of MERS or its designee. In

addition, if the Depositor is unable to deliver or cause the delivery of any

original Mortgage Note due to the loss of such original Mortgage Note, the

Depositor may deliver a Lost Note Affidavit together with a copy of such

Mortgage Note, if a copy is available, and shall thereby be deemed to have

satisfied the document delivery requirements of this Section 2.01(b).

 

                  If in connection with any Mortgage Loans, the Depositor cannot

deliver (A) the Mortgage, (B) all interim recorded assignments, (C) all

assumption, modification, consolidation or extension agreements, if any, or (D)

the lender's title policy (together with all riders thereto) satisfying the

requirements of clause (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above, respectively,

concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof because such document or

documents have not been returned from the applicable public recording office in

the case of clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, or because the title policy has

not been delivered to either the Servicer servicing such Mortgage Loan or the

Depositor by the applicable title insurer in the case of clause (v) above, the

Depositor shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian, in

the case of clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, such Mortgage, such interim

assignment or such assumption, modification, consolidation or extension

agreement, as the case may be, with evidence of recording indicated thereon upon

receipt thereof from the public recording office, but in no event shall any such

delivery of any such documents or instruments be made later than one year

following the Closing Date, unless, in the case of clause (ii), (iii) or (iv)

above, there has been a continuing delay at the applicable recording office or,

in the case of clause (v), there has been a continuing delay at the applicable

insurer and the Depositor has delivered an Officer's Certificate to such effect

to the Custodian. The Depositor shall forward or cause to be forwarded to the

Custodian (1) from time to time additional original documents evidencing an

assumption or modification of a Mortgage Loan and (2) any other documents

required to be delivered by the Depositor or the related Servicer to the

Custodian. In the event that the original Mortgage is not delivered and in

connection with the payment in full of the related Mortgage Loan the public

recording office requires the presentation of a "lost instruments affidavit and

indemnity" or any equivalent document, because only a copy of the Mortgage can

be delivered with the instrument of

        

                                      37

 

 

<PAGE>

 

 

satisfaction or reconveyance, the Servicer servicing such Mortgage Loan shall

prepare, execute and deliver or cause to be prepared, executed and delivered, on

behalf of the Trust, such a document to the public recording office.

 

                  As promptly as practicable subsequent to such transfer and

assignment, and in any event, within 30 days thereafter, the related Servicer

shall (except for any Mortgage which has been recorded in the name of MERS or

its designee) (I) cause each Assignment of Mortgage to be in proper form for

recording in the appropriate public office for real property records within 30

days of the Closing Date and (II) at the Depositor's expense, cause to be

delivered for recording in the appropriate public office for real property

records the Assignments of the Mortgages in favor of the Trustee, except that,

with respect to any Assignment of a Mortgage as to which the Servicer servicing

such Mortgage has not received the information required to prepare such

assignment in recordable form, such Servicer's obligation to do so and to

deliver the same for such recording shall be as soon as practicable after

receipt of such information and in any event within 30 days after the receipt

thereof and, no recording of an Assignment of Mortgage will be required in a

state if recording is not required by the Rating Agencies to obtain the initial

ratings for the Certificates.

 

                  In the case of Mortgage Loans that have been prepaid in full

as of the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents

to the Custodian will cause the Servicer servicing such Mortgage Loan to deposit

in the related Servicer Custodial Account the amount of such payment in full.

 

                  It is agreed and understood by the Depositor, the Trustee,

National City and SunTrust that none of the Mortgage Loans are (a) loans subject

to 12 CFR Section 226.31, 12 CFR Section 226.32 or 12 CFR Section 226.34, as

amended, or (b) "high cost home," "covered" (excluding home loans defined as

"covered home loans" in the New Jersey Home Ownership Security Act of 2002 that

were originated between November 26, 2003 and July 7, 2004), "high risk home" or

"predatory" loans under any applicable state, federal or local law (or a

similarly classified loan using different terminology under a law imposing

heightened regulatory scrutiny or additional legal liability for residential

mortgage loans having high interest rates, points and/or fees).

 

                  Section 2.02 Acceptance by the Custodian of the Mortgage

Loans. Subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, pursuant to the

Custodial Agreement, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, declares that it

will hold the documents referred to in Section 2.01 and the other documents

delivered to it constituting the Mortgage Files, and that it will hold such

other assets as are included in the Trust Estate, in trust for the exclusive use

and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. Upon execution of this

Agreement, the Custodian will deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee an

initial certification in the form of Exhibit O hereto, to the effect that,

except as may be specified in the list of exceptions attached thereto, it has

received the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.

 

                  Within 90 days after the execution and delivery of this

Agreement, the Custodian shall review the Mortgage Files in its possession and

will deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee a final certification in the form

of Exhibit P hereto. If, in the

        

                                       38

 

 

<PAGE>

 

 

course of such review, the Custodian finds any document described in Section

2.01(b)(i), (ii), (iii), (v) and (ix)(A), (B), (C), (D), (F) and (G) which does

not meet the requirements of Section 2.01 or is omitted from such Mortgage File,

the Custodian shall promptly so notify the related Servicer and the Depositor.

In performing any such review, the Custodian may conclusively rely on the

purported genuineness of any such document and any signature thereon. It is

understood that the scope of the Custodian's review of the Mortgage Files is

limited solely to confirming that the documents listed in Section 2.01(b)(i),

(ii), (iii), (v) and (ix)(A), (B), (C), (D), (F) and (G) have been received and

further confirming that any and all documents delivered pursuant to Section 2.01

appear on their face to have been executed and relate to the Mortgage Loans

identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule. The Custodian shall not have any

responsibility for determining whether any document is valid and binding,

whether the text of any assignment or endorsement is in proper or recordable

form, whether any document has been recorded in accordance with the requirements

of any applicable jurisdiction, or whether a blanket assignment is permitted in

any applicable jurisdiction. The Depositor hereby covenants and agrees that it

will promptly correct or cure such defect within 90 days from the date it was so

notified of such defect and, if the Depositor does not correct or cure such

defect within such period, the Depositor will either (a) substitute for the

related Mortgage Loan a Substitute Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be

accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth below or (b)

repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee at the Repurchase Price for such

Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall such a substitution

occur more than two years from the Closing Date; provided, further, that such

substitution or repurchase shall occur within 90 days of when such defect was

discovered if such defect will cause the Mortgage Loan not to be a "qualified

mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code.

 

                  With respect to each Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Depositor

shall deliver to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the

Certificateholders, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related Assignment of

Mortgage (except for any Mortgage which has been recorded in the name of MERS or

its designee), and such other documents and agreements as are otherwise required

by Section 2.01, with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as

required by Section 2.01(b)(i). No substitution is permitted to be made in any

calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. Monthly Payments due

with respect to any such Substitute Mortgage Loan in the month of substitution

shall not be conveyed to the Trust and shall be retained by the Depositor. For

the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the

Monthly Payment due for such month on any Defective Mortgage Loan for which the

Depositor has substituted a Substitute Mortgage Loan.

 

                  The related Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to

reflect the removal of each Mortgage Loan that has become a Defective Mortgage

Loan and the substitution of the Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and such

Servicer shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Custodian, the

Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee. Upon such

substitution, each Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be subject to the terms of

this Agreement in all respects, and the Depositor shall be deemed to have made

to the Trustee with respect to such Substitute Mortgage Loan, as of the date of

substitution, the representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 2.04.

Upon any such repurchase or substitution and the deposit to the related Servicer

Custodial Account of any required Repurchase Price or Substitution Adjustment

Amount (as described in the next paragraph), as applicable, and receipt of a

Request for Release, the Custodian shall release the Mortgage File relating to

such Defective

        

                                      39

 

 

<PAGE>

 

 

Mortgage Loan to the Depositor and shall execute and deliver at the Depositor's

direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Depositor,

in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to transfer to the

Depositor, or its designee, any Defective Mortgage Loan repurchased or

substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.02.

 

                  For any month in which the Depositor substitutes one or more

Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Defective Mortgage Loans, the amount

(if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all such Substitute

Mortgage Loans in a Loan Group as of the date of substitution is less than the

aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Defective Mortgage Loans in such

Loan Group (the "Substitution Adjustment Amount" for such Loan Group) plus an

amount equal to the aggregate of any unreimbursed Advances with respect to such

Defective Mortgage Loans shall be deposited into the Certificate Account by the

Depositor on or before the Remittance Date for the Distribution Date in the

month succeeding the calendar month during which the related Mortgage Loan is

required to be repurchased or replaced hereunder.

 

                  The Custodian shall retain possession and custody of each

Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set

forth in the Custodial Agreement. Each Servicer shall promptly deliver to the

Custodian, upon the execution or, in the case of documents requiring recording,

receipt thereof, the originals of such other documents or instruments

constituting the Mortgage File as come into each Servicer's possession from time

to time.

 

                  It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the

Depositor to substitute for or to repurchase any Mortgage Loan which does not

meet the requirements of Section 2.01 shall constitute the sole remedy

respecting such defect available to the Trustee and any Certificateholder

against the Depositor.

 

                  None of the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer,

the Trustee or the Custodian shall be under any duty or obligation (i) 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 are other than what they purport to be on

their face or (ii) to determine whether any Mortgage File should include any of

the documents specified in Section 2.01(b)(iv), (vi), (vii) and (viii) and

(ix)(E).

                  Section 2.04   Assignment of Interest in the Mortgage Loan

Purchase Agreement; Depositor Representations and Warranties.

 

                  (a)       The Depositor hereby assigns to the Trustee all of

its right, title and interest in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including

but not limited to the representations and warranties of the Seller set forth

in Section 7 thereof. The obligations of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan

Purchase Agreement to substitute or repurchase, as applicable, a Mortgage Loan

as to which a representation set forth in Section 7 thereof is breached shall be

the Trustee's and the Certificateholders' sole remedy for such breach. At the

request of the Trustee, the Depositor shall take such actions as may be

necessary to enable the Trustee to enforce such representations and the

obligations of the Seller with respect thereto and shall execute such further

documents as the Trustee may reasonably require in order to enable the Trustee

to carry out such enforcement.

 

                  (b)       If the Depositor, the Master Servicer, a Servicer, or

the Trustee discovers a breach of any of the representations and warranties set

forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, which breach materially and

adversely affects the value of the interests of Certificateholders or the

Trustee in the related Mortgage Loan, the party discovering the breach shall

give prompt written notice of the breach to the other parties and the Seller.

Upon receipt by the Custodian or the applicable Servicer of the applicable

Substitute Mortgage Loans, Repurchase Prices, or Substitution Adjustment Amounts

(as such terms are defined in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement) from the

Seller as provided in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Custodian and

the applicable Servicer shall notify the Trustee, the Custodian shall release to

the Seller the related Mortgage File, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver

all instruments of transfer or assignment furnished to it by the Seller, without

recourse, representation or warranty, as are necessary to transfer to the Seller

the Mortgage Loan or any property acquired with respect thereto. The Custodian

shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect such repurchase and shall

promptly notify the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Certificate

Administrator of such amendment. If the Seller delivers a Substitute Mortgage

Loan, the Custodian shall examine the Mortgage File for any Substitute Mortgage

Loan in the manner set forth in Section 2.02(a).

                  (c)       The Depositor makes the following representations and

warranties as to the Mortgage Loans on which the Trustee is deemed to have

relied in acquiring the Mortgage Loans. Such representations and warranties

speak as of the Closing Date, but shall survive until the termination of this

Agreement. Such representations and warranties shall not be waived by any of the

parties to this Agreement:

 

                  (i)       This Agreement creates a valid and continuing

         security interest (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code as in

         force in the relevant jurisdiction) in the Mortgage Loans in favor of

         the Trustee, which security interest is prior to all other liens, and

         is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the

         Depositor.

 

                  (ii)      The Mortgage Loans constitute "instruments" within

         the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code as in force in the relevant

         jurisdiction.

 

                  (iii)     The Depositor owns and has good and marketable title

         to the Mortgage Loans free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance

         of any Person.

 

                  (iv)      The Depositor has received all consents and approvals

         required by the terms of the Mortgage Loans to the sale of the Mortgage

         Loans hereunder to the Trustee.

 

                  (v)       The Depositor has caused or will have caused, within

         ten days, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the

          proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable

         law in order to perfect the security interest in the Mortgage Loans

         granted to the Trustee hereunder.

 

                  (vi)      Other than the security interest granted to the

         Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, the Depositor has not pledged,

         assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed

         any of the Mortgage Loans. The Depositor has not authorized the filing

          of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Depositor

         that include a description of collateral covering the Mortgage Loans

         other than any financing statement relating to the security interest

         granted to the Trustee hereunder or that has been terminated. Debtor is

         not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against it.

 

                  (vii)     The Custodian has in its possession all original

         copies of the Mortgage Notes that constitute or evidence the Mortgage

         Loans. The Mortgage Notes that constitute or evidence the Mortgage

         Loans do not have any marks or notations indicating that they have been

         pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the

         Trustee. All financing statements filed or to be filed against the

         Depositor in favor of the Trustee in connection herewith describing the

         Mortgage Loans contain a statement to the following effect:   "A

         purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this

         financing statement will violate the rights of the secured party as

         more fully described in, and subject to the terms of, the related

         transaction documents."

 

                   (d)       The Depositor hereby covenants to maintain the

perfection and priority of the security interest of the Trustee created by this

Agreement.

                  Section 2.05   Intent of Parties and Protection of Title.

                 

                  (a) It is the express intent of the Depositor and the Trustee

that the transfer of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee pursuant

to Section 2.01(a) be, and be construed as, an absolute sale of the Mortgage

Loans. It is, further, not the intention of such parties that such transfer be

deemed the grant of a security interest in the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor

to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However,

in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans

are held to be the property of the Depositor, or if for any other reason this

Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans,

then: (1) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement, and (2) the

transfer of the Mortgage Loans provided for in Section 2.01(a) shall be deemed

to be a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee of, and the Depositor hereby

grants to the Trustee, to secure all of the Depositor's obligations hereunder, a

security interest in all of the Depositor's right, title, and interest, whether

now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (i) the Mortgage Loans, (ii) all

accounts, chattel paper, deposit accounts, documents, general intangibles,

goods, instruments, investment property, letter-of-credit rights, letters of

credit, money, and oil, gas, and other minerals, consisting of, arising from, or

relating to, any of the foregoing; and (iii) all proceeds of the foregoing.

 

                  (b) The Depositor shall file such financing statements, and

the Depositor, the Servicers, and the Trustee at the direction of the Depositor

shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such other actions as

may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were found to create a

security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be a

perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be

maintained as such throughout the term of the Agreement. In connection herewith,

the Trustee shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under

the Uniform Commercial Code as in force in the relevant jurisdiction.

 

                  (c) It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the

transfer of the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Regular Interests by the Depositor to

the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement be, and be construed as, an absolute sale

of the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Regular Interests. It is, further, not the

intention of the parties that such transfer be deemed the grant of a security

interest in the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Regular Interests by the Depositor to

the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However, in

the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Uncertificated

Lower-Tier Regular Interests are held to be the property of the Depositor, or if

for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security

interest in the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Regular Interests, then: (1) this

Agreement shall constitute a security agreement, and (2) the transfer of the

Uncertificated Lower-Tier Regular Interests provided for in this Agreement shall

be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee of, and the Depositor

hereby grants to the Trustee, to secure all of the Depositor's obligations

hereunder, a security interest in all of the Depositor's right, title, and

interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (i) the

Uncertificated Lower-Tier Regular Interests, including all rights represented

thereby in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, (ii) all

accounts, chattel paper, deposit accounts, documents, general intangibles,

goods, instruments, investment property, letter-of-credit rights, letters of

credit, money, and oil, gas, and other minerals, consisting of, arising from, or

relating to, any of the foregoing; and (iii) all proceeds of the foregoing.

        

                                      46

 

 

<PAGE>

 

 

                  (d) The Depositor shall file such financing statements, and

the Depositor, the Servicers, and the Trustee at the direction of the Depositor

shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such other actions as

may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were found to create a

security interest in the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Regular Interests, such

security interest would be a perfected security interest of first priority under

applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the

Agreement. In connection herewith, the Trustee shall have all of the rights and

remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as in force in the

relevant jurisdiction.

 

                  Section 2.06   Designation of Interests in the REMIC. The

Depositor hereby designates the Classes of Class A Certificates (other than the

Class 1-A-R Certificates) and the Classes of Class B Certificates as classes of

"regular interests" and Component II of the Class 1-A-R Certificates as the

single class of "residual interest" in the Upper-Tier REMIC for the purposes of

Code Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860G(a)(2), respectively. The Depositor hereby

further designates each Uncertificated Lower-Tier Regular Interest as classes of

"regular interests" and Component I of the Class 1-A-R Certificates as the

single class of "residual interest" in the Lower-Tier REMIC for the purposes of

Code Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860G(a)(2), respectively.

 

                  Section 2.07   Designation of Start-up Day. The Closing Date is

hereby designated as the "start-up day" of each of the Upper-Tier REMIC and

Lower-Tier REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code. Section

2.08 REMIC Certificate Maturity Date. Solely for purposes of satisfying Section

1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations, the "latest possible maturity

date" of the regular interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC is

November 1, 2035 (the "REMIC Certificate Maturity Date").

 

                  Section 2.09   Execution and Delivery of Certificates. The

Trustee (i) acknowledges the issuance of and hereby declares that it holds the

Uncertificated Lower-Tier Regular Interests on behalf of the Upper-Tier REMIC

and the Certificateholders and (ii) has executed and delivered to or upon the

order of the Depositor, in exchange for the Mortgage Loans and Uncertificated

Lower-Tier Regular Interests together with all other assets included in the

definition of "Trust Estate," receipt of which is hereby acknowledged,

Lower-Tier Regular Interests, evidence ownership of the entire Trust Estate.

                                  ARTICLE III

 

                          ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING

                              OF MORTGAGE LOANS

 

                  Section 3.01   Servicers to Service Mortgage Loans. For and on

behalf of the Certificateholders, National City (or any successor Servicer

thereto) shall service and administer the National City Mortgage Loans, and

SunTrust (or any successor Servicer thereto) shall service and administer the

SunTrust Mortgage Loans, in each case in accordance with the terms of this

Agreement, the Customary Servicing Procedures applicable to such Servicer,

applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Notes and Mortgages. In

connection with such servicing and administration, each Servicer shall have full

power and authority, acting alone and/or through Subservicers as provided in

Section 3.02, to do or cause to be done any and all things that it may deem

necessary or desirable in connection with such servicing and administration

including, but not limited to, the power and authority, subject to the terms

hereof, (a) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the

Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (b)

to consent, with respect to the Mortgage Loans it services, to transfers of any

Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages

(but only in the manner provided in this Agreement), (c) to collect any

Insurance Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loans

it services, and (d) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the

ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan it services. Each

Servicer shall represent and protect the interests of the Trust in the same

manner as it protects its own interests in mortgage loans in its own portfolio

in any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan and shall not

make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage

Loan, except as provided pursuant to Section 3.21. Without limiting the

generality of the foregoing, each Servicer, in its own name or in the name of

any Subservicer or the Depositor and the Trustee, is hereby authorized and

empowered by the Depositor and the Trustee, when the Servicer or any

Subservicer, as the case may be, believes it appropriate in its reasonable

judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor, the

Certificateholders or any of them, 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 it services, and with

respect to the related Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit of the

Certificateholders. Each Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Depositor

and/or the Trustee such documents requiring execution and delivery by any or all

of them as are necessary or appropriate to enable such Servicer to service and

administer the Mortgage Loans it services to the extent that such Servicer is

not permitted to execute and deliver such documents pursuant to the preceding

sentence. Upon receipt of such documents, the Depositor and/or the Trustee, upon

the direction of such Servicer, shall promptly execute such documents and

deliver them to such Servicer.

 

                  In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph,

each Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the

purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged

Properties relating to the Mortgage Loans it services, which Servicing Advances

shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the

Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and further as provided in Section 3.11.

The costs, if any, incurred by a Servicer in effecting the timely payments of

taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties and related insurance premiums

shall not, for the purpose of

        

                                      48

 

 

<PAGE>

 

 

calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the

Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that

the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit. However, advances for taxes may be

capitalized in accordance with a loan modification pursuant to Section 3.21.

 

                  The relationship of each Servicer (and of any successor to

such Servicer as servicer under this Agreement) to the Trustee, the Master

Servicer, the Certificateholders and the Certificate Administrator under this

Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and

not that of a joint venturer, partner or agent.

 

                  Section 3.02   Subservicing; Enforcement of the Obligations of

Servicers.

 

                  (a)       Each Servicer may arrange for the subservicing of any

Mortgage Loan it services by a Subservicer pursuant to a Subservicing Agreement;

provided, however, that such subservicing arrangement and the terms of the

related Subservicing Agreement must provide for the servicing of such Mortgage

Loan in a manner consistent with the servicing arrangements contemplated

hereunder. Notwithstanding the provisions of any Subservicing Agreement, any of

the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between

a Servicer and a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through a Subservicer

or otherwise, the related Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the

Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the servicing and

administration of the Mortgage Loans it services in accordance with the

provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability

by virtue of such Subservicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of

indemnification from the Subservicer and to the same extent and under the same

terms and conditions as if such Servicer alone were servicing and administering

those Mortgage Loans. All actions of each Subservicer performed pursuant to the

related Subservicing Agreement shall be performed as agent of the related

Servicer with the same force and effect as if performed directly by such

Servicer.

 

                  (b)       For purposes of this Agreement, each Servicer shall

be deemed to have received any collections, recoveries or payments with respect

to the Mortgage Loans it services that are received by a Subservicer regardless

of whether such payments are remitted by the Subservicer to such Servicer.

 

                  (c)       As part of its servicing activities hereunder, each

Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall use

its best reasonable efforts to enforce the obligations of each Subservicer

engaged by such Servicer under the related Subservicing Agreement, to the extent

that the non-performance of any such obligation would have a material and

adverse effect on a Mortgage Loan. Such enforcement, including, without

limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Subservicing

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 such Servicer, in its good

faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage

Loans. Such 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 Loan or (ii) from a specific recovery of

costs, expenses or attorneys fees against the party against whom such

enforcement is directed.

         

                                      49

 

 

<PAGE>

 

 

                  (d)       Any Subservicing Agreement entered into by a Servicer

shall provide that it may be assumed or terminated by the Master Servicer, if

the Master Servicer has assumed the duties of a Servicer, or any successor

Servicer, at the Master Servicer's or successor Servicer's option, as

applicable, without cost or obligation to the assuming or terminating party or

the Trust, upon the assumption by such party of the obligations of the Servicer

pursuant to Section 8.05. Each Servicer shall be solely responsible for any fees

and expenses payable to any Subservicer in connection with the assumption or

termination of any Subservicing Agreement.

 

                  Any Subservicing Agreement, and any other transactions or

services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer, shall be deemed

to be between the related Servicer and such Subservicer alone, and the Trustee,

the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Certificateholders

shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no obligations, duties or

liabilities to or with respect to the Subservicer or its officers, directors or

employees, except as set forth in Section 3.01.

 

                  Section 3.03    Fidelity Bond; Errors and Omissions Insurance.

 

                  Each Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, and provide

evidence thereof to the Master Servicer upon request, a blanket fidelity bond

and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage on all

officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity requiring such

persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the Mortgage

Loans it services. These policies must insure the related Servicer against

losses resulting from dishonest or fraudulent acts committed by such Servicer's

personnel, any employees of outside firms that provide data processing services

for such Servicer, and temporary contract employees or student interns. Such

fidelity bond shall also protect and insure such Servicer against losses in

connection with the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having

obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of

this Section 3.03 requiring such fidelity bond and errors and omissions

insurance shall diminish or relieve a Servicer from its duties and obligations

as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and

insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required

by FNMA in the FNMA Servicing Guide or by FHLMC in the FHLMC Sellers' &

Servicers' Guide, as amended or restated from time to time, or in an amount as

may be permitted to the Servicer by express waiver of FNMA or FHLMC.

 

                  The Master Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a

blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, affording

coverage with respect to all directors, officers, employees and other Persons

acting on the Master Servicer's behalf, and covering errors and omissions in the

performance of the Master Servicer's obligations hereunder. The errors and

omissions insurance policy and the fidelity bond shall be in such form and

amount generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicers or

trustees.

 

                   Section 3.04    Access to Certain Documentation.

 

                  The Master Servicer and each Servicer shall provide to the OTS

and the FDIC and to comparable regulatory authorities supervising Holders of

Subordinate Certificates and the examiners and supervisory agents of the OTS,

the FDIC and such other authorities, access to the documentation required by

applicable regulations of the OTS and the FDIC with respect to the

 

                                     50

 

 

<PAGE>

 

 

Mortgage Loans. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon

reasonable and prior written request and during normal business hours at the

offices designated by the Master Servicer and each Servicer. Nothing in this

Section 3.04 shall limit the obligation of the Master Servicer or a Servicer to

observe any applicable law, and the failure of the Master Servicer or such

Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section 3.04 as a result of such

obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.04.

 

                  Section 3.05    Maintenance of Primary Insurance Policy;

Claims.

 

                  With respect to each Mortgage Loan which was covered by a

Primary Insurance Policy on the Cut-off Date, or the date that such Mortgage

Loan is transferred to the Trustee, the Servicer servicing such Mortgage Loan

shall, without any cost to the Trust Estate, maintain or cause the Mortgagor to

maintain in full force and effect a Primary Insurance Policy insuring that

portion of the Mortgage Loan in excess of a percentage in conformity with FNMA

requirements. Each Servicer shall pay or shall cause the Mortgagor to pay the

premium thereon on a timely basis, at least until the Loan-to-Value Ratio of

such Mortgage Loan is reduced to 80% or such other Loan-to-Value Ratio as may be

required by law. If such Primary Insurance Policy is terminated, the related

Servicer shall obtain from another insurer a comparable replacement policy, with

a total coverage equal to the remaining coverage of such terminated Primary

Insurance Policy. If the insurer shall cease to be an insurer acceptable to

FNMA, such Servicer shall notify the Trustee in writing, it being understood

that such Servicer shall not have any responsibility or liability for any

failure to recover under the Primary Insurance Policy for such reason. If the

related Servicer determines that recoveries under the Primary Insurance Policy

are jeopardized by the financial condition of the insurer, such Servicer shall

obtain from another insurer which meets the requirements of this Section 3.05 a

replacement insurance policy. No Servicer shall take any action that would

result in noncoverage under any applicable Primary Insurance Policy of any loss

that, but for the actions of the related Servicer, would have been covered

thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered

into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 3.13, the related Servicer shall

promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Insurance Policy, if any,

of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of

such Primary Insurance Policy and shall take all actions which may be required

by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under such

Primary Insurance Policy. If such Primary Insurance Policy is terminated as a

result of such assumption or substitution of liability, such Servicer shall

obtain a replacement Primary Insurance Policy as provided above.

 

                  In connection with its activities as servicer, each Servicer

agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the

Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary Insurance Policy in

a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such Primary Insurance Policy

and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit

recovery under any Primary Insurance Policy respecting a Defaulted Mortgage

Loan. Pursuant to Section 3.08(b)(iii), any amounts collected by a Servicer

under any Primary Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the related Servicer

Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.11.

 

                  Each Servicer will comply with all provisions of applicable

state and federal law relating to the cancellation of, or collection of premiums

with respect to, Primary Insurance

Policies, including, but not limited to, the provisions of the Homeowners

Protection Act of 1998, and all regulations promulgated thereunder, as amended

from time to time.

 

                  Section 3.06    Rights of the Depositor and Others in Respect

of the Servicers.

 

                  The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the

obligations of either Servicer hereunder and may, but is not obligated to,

perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of a Servicer

hereunder and in connection with any such defaulted obligation to exercise the

related rights of a Servicer hereunder; provided that no Servicer shall be

relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by

the Depositor or its designee. Neither the Trustee, the Certificate

Administrator, the Master Servicer nor the Depositor shall have any

responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by a Servicer nor

shall the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Depositor be obligated

to supervise the performance of a Servicer hereunder or otherwise.

 

                  Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any

transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer

in its capacity as such shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and the

related Servicer alone, and the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the

Master Servicer and Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and

shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the

Subservicer. Each Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any

Subservicer, irrespective of whether such Servicer's compensation pursuant to

this Agreement is sufficient to pay such fees.

 

                  Section 3.07    [Reserved].

 

                  Section 3.08    Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments;   Servicer

Custodial Accounts;   Certificate Account;   and Upper-Tier Certificate Account.

 

                  (a)       Each Servicer will proceed diligently, in accordance

with this Agreement, to collect all payments due under each of the Mortgage

Loans it services when the same shall become due and payable. Further, each

Servicer will in accordance with all applicable law, the terms of the Mortgage

Loans, and Customary Servicing Procedures applicable thereto ascertain and

estimate taxes, assessments, fire and hazard insurance premiums, mortgage

insurance premiums and all other charges with respect to the Mortgage Loans it

services that, as provided in any Mortgage, will become due and payable to the

end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay

such charges as and when they become due and payable. Consistent with the

foregoing, each Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge

or any prepayment charge or penalty interest in connection with the prepayment

of a Mortgage Loan it services and (ii) extend the due dates for payments due on

a Mortgage Note for a period not greater than 120 days; provided, however, that

such Servicer cannot extend the maturity of any such Mortgage Loan past the date

on which the final payment is due on the latest maturing Mortgage Loan as of the

Cut-Off Date. In the event of any such arrangement, such Servicer shall make

Periodic Advances on the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions

of Section 3.20 during the scheduled period in accordance with the amortization

schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such

arrangements. No Servicer shall be required to institute or join in litigation

with respect to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage

Note or otherwise or against any public or

 

                                      52

 

 

<PAGE>

 

 

governmental authority with respect to a taking or condemnation) if it

reasonably believes that enforcing the provision of the Mortgage or other

instrument pursuant to which such payment is required is prohibited by

applicable law.

 

                  (b)       Each Servicer shall establish and maintain a Servicer

Custodial Account. Each Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the

related Servicer Custodial Account, all on a daily basis within one Business Day

of receipt, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the following

payments and collections remitted by the related Subservicers or received by

such Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans it services subsequent to the

Cut-Off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest due on the

Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-Off Date) and the following amounts required

to be deposited hereunder with respect to the Mortgage Loans it services:

 

                  (i)       all payments on account of principal of the Mortgage

         Loans, including Principal Prepayments;

 

                  (ii)      all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage

         Loans, net of the Servicing Fee;

 

                  (iii)     (A)   all Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds,

         other than Insurance Proceeds to be (1) applied to the restoration or

         repair of the Mortgaged Property, (2) released to the Mortgagor in

         accordance with Customary Servicing Procedures, the terms of the

          Mortgage Loan, or applicable law or (3) required to be deposited to an

         Escrow Account pursuant to Section 3.09(a) and (B) any Insurance

         Proceeds released from an Escrow Account pursuant to Section 3.09(b)

         (iv);

 

                   (iv)      any amount required to be deposited by such Servicer

         pursuant to Section 3.08(d) in connection with any losses on Permitted

         Investments with respect to the related Servicer Custodial Account;

 

                  (v)       any amounts required to be deposited by such Servicer

         pursuant to Section 3.14;

 

                  (vi)      all Repurchase Prices, all Substitution Adjustment

         Amounts and all Subsequent Recoveries received by such Servicer;

 

                   (vii)     Periodic Advances made by such Servicer pursuant to

         Section 3.20 and any payments of Compensating Interest; and

 

                  (viii)    any other amounts required to be deposited hereunder.

 

                  The foregoing requirements for deposits to a Servicer

Custodial Account by the related Servicer shall be exclusive, it being

understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

payments in the nature of prepayment penalties, late payment charges or

assumption fees, if collected, need not be deposited by such Servicer. If a

Servicer shall deposit in the related Servicer Custodial Account any amount not

required to be deposited, it may at any time withdraw or direct the institution

maintaining such Servicer Custodial Account to withdraw such amount from such

Servicer Custodial Account, any provision herein

to the contrary notwithstanding. A Servicer Custodial Account may contain funds

that belong to one or more trust funds created for mortgage pass-through

certificates of other series and may contain other funds respecting payments on

mortgage loans belonging to such Servicer or serviced by such Servicer on behalf

of others; provided that such commingling of funds shall not be permitted at any

time during which Fitch's senior long-term unsecured debt rating of such

Servicer is below "A." Notwithstanding such commingling of funds, each Servicer

shall keep records that accurately reflect the funds on deposit in the related

Servicer Custodial Account that have been identified by it as being attributable

to the Mortgage Loans it services. Each Servicer shall maintain adequate records

with respect to all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section 3.08. All funds

required to be deposited in a Servicer Custodial Account shall be held in trust

for the Certificateholders until withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.11.

 

                  (c)       [Reserved].

 

                  (d)       Each institution at which a Servicer Custodial

Account is maintained shall invest the funds therein as directed in writing by

the related Servicer in Permitted Investments, which shall mature not later than

the Business Day next preceding the related Remittance Date (except that if such

Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution that maintains such

account, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than such

Remittance Date), and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity.

All such Permitted Investments shall be made in the name of the Trustee, for the

benefit of the Certificateholders. All income or gain (net of any losses)

realized from any such investment of funds on deposit in a Servicer Custodial

Account shall be for the benefit of the related Servicer as servicing

compensation and shall be retained by it monthly as provided herein. The amount

of any losses realized in a Servicer Custodial Account in respect of any such

investments shall promptly be deposited by the related Servicer in such Servicer

Custodial Account.

 

                  (e)       Each Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee and

the Master Servicer of any proposed change of the location of the related

Servicer Custodial Account maintained by such Servicer not later than 30 days

and not more than 45 days prior to any change thereof. The creation of a

Servicer Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a certification substantially

in the form of Exhibit F hereto. A copy of such certification shall be furnished

to the Master Servicer.

 

                   (f)       The Certificate Administrator shall establish and

maintain in the name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders,

the Certificate Account as a segregated trust account or accounts. The

Certificate Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Master Servicer will

deposit in the Certificate Account, as identified by the Master Servicer and as

received by the Master Servicer, the following amounts:

 

                           (i)       Any amounts withdrawn from a Servicer

          Custodial Account;

 

                           (ii)      Any Periodic Advances made by the Master

         Servicer pursuant to Section 3.20 and any payments of Compensating

         Interest;

 

                           (iii)     Any Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation

         Proceeds received by or on behalf of the Master Servicer or which were

         not deposited in a Servicer Custodial Account;

                           (iv)      The Repurchase Price with respect to any

         Mortgage Loans purchased by the Seller pursuant to the Mortgage Loan

         Purchase Agreement or by the Depositor pursuant to Sections 2.02 or

         2.04 hereof and all proceeds of any Mortgage Loans or property acquired

         with respect thereto repurchased by the Master Servicer pursuant to

         Section 10.01;

 

                           (v)       Any amounts required to be deposited with

         respect to losses on investments of deposits in a Servicer Custodial

         Account or the Certificate Account; and

 

                           (vi)      Any other amounts received by or on behalf

         of the Master Servicer and required to be deposited in the Certificate

         Account pursuant to this Agreement.

 

                  (g)       All amounts deposited to the Certificate Account

shall be held by the Certificate Administrator in the name of the Trustee in

trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders in accordance with the terms and

provisions of this Agreement.

 

                  (h)       The Certificate Account shall constitute a trust

account of the Trust segregated on the books of the Certificate Administrator

and held by the Certificate Administrator in trust in its Corporate Trust

Office. The Certificate Account shall be an Eligible Account. The amount at any

time credited to the Certificate Account may be invested, in the name of the

Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, in Permitted Investments as

directed by the Master Servicer. All Permitted Investments shall mature or be

subject to redemption or withdrawal on or before, and shall be held until, the

next succeeding Distribution Date if the obligor for such Permitted Investment

is the institution acting as Certificate Administrator or, if such obligor is

any other Person, the Business Day preceding such Distribution Date. All income

or gain (net of any losses) realized from any such investment of funds on

deposit in the Certificate Account shall be for the benefit of the Master

Servicer as master servicing compensation and shall be retained by it monthly as

provided herein. The amount of any losses realized in the Certificate Account in

respect of any such investments shall promptly be deposited by the Master

Servicer in the Certificate Account.

 

                  (i)       The Certificate Administrator shall establish and

maintain the Upper-Tier Certificate Account (which may be a sub-account of the

Certificate Account). On each Distribution Date (other than the Final

Distribution Date, if such Final Distribution Date is in connection with a

purchase of the assets of the Trust Estate by the Depositor), the Certificate

Administrator shall, from funds available on deposit in the Certificate Account,

deposit, in immediately available funds, by wire transfer or otherwise, into the

Upper-Tier Certificate Account, the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount.

 

                  Section 3.09    Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar

Items; Escrow Accounts.

 

                  (a)       To the extent required by the related Mortgage Note

and not violative of current law, each Servicer shall segregate and hold all

funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which constitute

Escrow Payments in trust separate and apart from any of its own funds and

general assets and for such purpose shall establish and maintain one or more

escrow accounts (collectively, the "Escrow Accounts"), in each case titled

Servicer], in trust for registered holders of Wachovia Mortgage Loan Trust, LLC

Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2005-B and various Mortgagors." Each

Escrow Account shall be established with a commercial bank, a savings bank or a

savings and loan association that meets the guidelines set forth by FNMA or

FHLMC as an eligible institution for escrow accounts and which is a member of

the Automated Clearing House. In any case, each Escrow Account shall be insured

by the FDIC to the fullest extent permitted by law. Each Servicer shall deposit

in the appropriate Escrow Account on a daily basis, and retain therein: (i) all

Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, (ii) all amounts

representing proceeds of any hazard insurance policy which are to be applied to

the restoration or repair of any related Mortgaged Property and (iii) all

amounts representing proceeds of any Primary Insurance Policy. Nothing herein

shall require a Servicer to compel a Mortgagor to establish an Escrow Account in

violation of applicable law or the terms of the related Mortgage Loan.

 

                  (b)       Withdrawals of amounts so collected from the Escrow

Accounts may be made by a Servicer only (i) to effect timely payment of taxes,

assessments, mortgage insurance premiums, fire and hazard insurance premiums,

condominium or PUD association dues, or comparable items constituting Escrow

Payments for the related Mortgage, (ii) to reimburse the Servicer out of related

Escrow Payments made with respect to a Mortgage Loan for any Servicing Advance

made by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.09(c) with respect to such Mortgage

Loan, (iii) to refund to any Mortgagor any sums determined to be overages, (iv)

for transfer to a Servicer Custodial Account upon default of a Mortgagor or in

accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan and if permitted by

applicable law, (v) for application to restore or repair the Mortgaged Property,

(vi) to pay to the Mortgagor, to the extent required by law or the terms of the

Mortgage Loan, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the applicable Escrow

Account, (vii) to pay to itself any interest earned on funds deposited in the

applicable Escrow Accounts (and not required to be paid to the Mortgagor),

(viii) to the extent permitted under the terms of the related Mortgage Note and

applicable law, to pay late fees with respect to any Monthly Payment which is

received after the applicable grace period, (ix) to withdraw suspense payments

that are deposited into an Escrow Account, (x) to withdraw any amounts

inadvertently deposited in and Escrow Account or (xi) to clear and terminate any

Escrow Account upon the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section

10.01. Any Escrow Account shall not be a part of the Trust Estate.

 

                  (c)       With respect to each Mortgage Loan, each Servicer

shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of taxes, assessments and

other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the

status of Primary Insurance Policy premiums and fire and hazard insurance

coverage. Each Servicer shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the

payment of such charges (including renewal premiums) and shall effect payment

thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time

appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose

deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account, if any, which shall have been

estimated and accumulated by such Servicer in amounts sufficient for such

purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage Loan. To the extent that a

Mortgage Loan does not provide for Escrow Payments, such Servicer shall

determine whether any such payments are made by the Mortgagor. Each Servicer

assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall

effect timely payments of all such bills irrespective of each Mortgagor's

faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow

Payments. Each Servicer shall advance any such payments that are not timely

 

                                     56

paid, but each Servicer shall be required so to advance only to the extent that

such Servicing Advances, in the good faith judgment of the related Servicer,

will be recoverable by such Servicer out of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation

Proceeds or otherwise.

 

                  Section 3.10    Access to Certain Documentation and Information

Regarding the Mortgage Loans.

 

                  Each Servicer shall afford the Master Servicer and the Trustee

reasonable access to all records and documentation in its possession regarding

the Mortgage Loans it services and all accounts, insurance information and other

matters relating to this Agreement, such access being afforded without charge,

but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the office

designated by each Servicer.

 

                  Upon reasonable advance notice in writing, each Servicer will

provide to each Certificateholder which is a savings and loan association, bank

or insurance company certain reports and reasonable access to information and

documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans it services sufficient to permit such

Certificateholder to comply with applicable regulations of the OTS or other

regulatory authorities with respect to investment in the Certificates; provided

that each Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by each such

Certificateholder for actual expenses incurred by such Servicer in providing

such reports and access.

 

                  Section 3.11    Permitted Withdrawals from the Servicer

Custodial Accounts, Certificate Account and Upper-Tier Certificate Account.

 

                  (a)       Each Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals

from the related Servicer Custodial Account, for the following purposes:

 

                  (i)       to pay to such Servicer (to the extent not previously

         retained), the servicing compensation to which it is entitled pursuant

         to Section 3.17, and to pay to such Servicer, as additional servicing

          compensation, earnings on or investment income with respect to funds in

         or credited to such Servicer Custodial Account;

 

                  (ii)      to reimburse such Servicer for unreimbursed Advances

         made by it, such right of reimbursement pursuant to this clause (ii)

         being limited to amounts received on the Mortgage Loan(s) in respect of

         which any such Advance was made;

 

                  (iii)     to reimburse such Servicer for any Nonrecoverable

         Advance previously made or any Advances capitalized in accordance with

         Section 3.21(c);

 

                  (iv)      to reimburse such Servicer for Insured Expenses from

         the related Insurance Proceeds;

 

                  (v)       to pay to the purchaser, with respect to each

         Mortgage Loan or REO Property that has been purchased pursuant to

         Section 2.02 or 2.04, all amounts received thereon after the date of

         such purchase;

 

                                     57

 

 

<PAGE>

 

 

                   (vi)      [Reserved];

 

                  (vii)     to reimburse such Servicer or the Depositor for

         expenses incurred by any of them and reimbursable pursuant to Section

         7.03;

 

                  (viii)    to withdraw any amount deposited in such Servicer

         Custodial Account and not required to be deposited therein;

 

                  (ix)      to remit to the Certificate Administrator on each

         Remittance Date (i) all amounts credited to such Servicer Custodial

          Account as of the close of business on the related Determination Date,

         net of charges against or withdrawals from such Servicer Custodial

         Account pursuant to this Section 3.11(a), and excluding any Principal

         Prepayments received after the end of the preceding calendar month,

         plus (ii) to the extent not already deposited in such Servicer

         Custodial Account, all Compensating Interest and Periodic Advances, if

         any, for such Distribution Date which the Servicer is obligated to

         remit pursuant to Sections 3.17 and 3.20, respectively, minus (iii) any

         amounts attributable to Monthly Payments in respect of a Due Date or

         Due Dates subsequent to the related Due Date for such Remittance Date;

         and

 

                  (x)       to clear and terminate such Servicer Custodial

         Account upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01.

 

                  Each Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting

records, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of

justifying any withdrawal from the related Servicer Custodial Account pursuant

to clauses (i), (ii), (iv) and (v). Prior to making any withdrawal from the

Servicer Custodial Account pursuant to clause (iii), each Servicer shall deliver

to the Master Servicer an Officer's Certificate of a Servicing Officer

indicating the amount of any previous Advance determined by such Servicer to be

a Nonrecoverable Advance and identifying the related Mortgage Loan(s) and their

respective portions of such Nonrecoverable Advance.

 

                  With respect to any remittance received by the Certificate

Administrator after the Remittance Date on which such remittance was due, the

applicable Servicer shall pay to the Certificate Administrator (for the benefit

of the Master Servicer) interest on such late payment at an annual rate equal to

the prime rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus two (2) percentage

points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable

law. Such interest shall be deposited in the related Servicer Custodial Account

by the applicable Servicer for remittance to the Certificate Administrator on

the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with

the day following such Remittance Date and ending with the day on
