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).

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

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

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

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

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.

Custodian has in its possession all original
copies of the Mortgage Notes that constitute or evidence the

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:

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."

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

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

accounts, chattel paper, deposit accounts,
documents, general intangibles,
goods, instruments, investment property,

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

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
51
<PAGE>
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
53
<PAGE>
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;
54
<PAGE>
(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
"[Insert name of
55
<PAGE>
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 each Mortgage Loan, each Servicer
shall maintain accurate records reflecting
the status of taxes, assessments and
other charges which are or may become a

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

appropriate for securing maximum discounts
allowable, employing for such purpose

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

judgment of the related Servicer,
will be recoverable by such Servicer out of
Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation
Proceeds or otherwise.
