In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Seller, the Company and the Trustee agree as follows:

 

 


 

Article I

 

DEFINITIONS

Section 1.01

Defined Terms .

Whenever used in this Agreement, the following words and phrases, unless the context otherwise requires, shall have the following meanings:

Accepted Master Servicing Practices : With respect to any Mortgage Loan, those customary mortgage servicing practices of prudent mortgage servicing institutions that master service mortgage loans of the same type and quality as such Mortgage Loan in the jurisdiction where the related Mortgaged Property is located, to the extent applicable to the Trustee or the Master Servicer (except in its capacity as successor to the Company or the related Servicer).

Accepted Servicing Practices : With respect to each EMC Mortgage Loan, those mortgage servicing practices (including collection procedures) that are in accordance with all applicable statutes, regulations and prudent mortgage banking practices for similar mortgage loans.

Account : The Distribution Account, the Master Servicer Collection Account, the Net WAC Reserve Fund and any Protected Account.

Accrued Certificate Interest : With respect to any Group II Certificate (other than the Class II-PO, Class II-P and Class II-R Certificates) for any Distribution Date, means an amount equal to the interest accrued during the related Interest Accrual Period at the applicable Pass-Through Rate on the Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Balance of such Certificate immediately prior to such Distribution Date less (i) in the case of a Group II Senior Certificate (other than the Class II-PO Certificates and Class II-R Certificates), such Certificate’s share of any Net Interest Shortfalls from the related Mortgage Loans and, after the Cross-Over Date, the interest portion of any Realized Losses on the related Mortgage Loans and (ii) in the case of a Group II Subordinate Certificate, such Certificate’s share of any Net Interest Shortfalls and the interest portion of any Realized Losses on the related Mortgage Loans. Such Net Interest Shortfalls will be allocated among the Group II Certificates (other than the Class II-PO, Class II-P and Class II-R Certificates) in proportion to the amount of Accrued Certificate Interest that would have been allocated thereto in the absence of such shortfalls. Accrued Certificate Interest with respect to the Class II-A, Class II-X and Class II-B Certificates will be based on a 360-day year that consists of twelve 30-day months. No Accrued Certificate Interest will be payable with respect to any Class of Group II Certificates after the Distribution Date on which the outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of such Certificate has been reduced to zero. The Class II-PO, Class II-P and Class II-R Certificates are not entitled to Accrued Certificate Interest.

Additional Master Servicing Compensation : The meaning specified in Section 4.14.

Advance : An advance of delinquent payments of principal or interest in respect of a Mortgage Loan required to be made by the Company as provided in Section 6.01(a) hereof, by the related Servicer in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement or by the Master Servicer as provided in Section 6.01(b) hereof.

 

 


 

Agreement : This Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any and all amendments or supplements hereto made in accordance with the terms herein.

Allocable Share : With respect to any Class of Group II Subordinate Certificates on any Distribution Date will generally equal such Class’s pro rata share (based on the Certificate Principal Balance of each Class entitled thereto) of the sum of each of the components of the definition of Subordinate Optimal Principal Amount; provided, that, except as described in the second succeeding sentence, no Class of Group II Subordinate Certificates (other than the Class of Group II Subordinate Certificates outstanding with the lowest numerical designation) shall be entitled on any Distribution Date to receive distributions pursuant to clauses (ii), (iii) and (v) of the definition of Subordinate Optimal Principal Amount unless the Class Prepayment Distribution Trigger for the related Class is satisfied for such Distribution Date. The “Class Prepayment Distribution Trigger” for a Class of Group II Subordinate Certificates for any Distribution Date is satisfied if the fraction (expressed as a percentage), the numerator of which is the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of such Class and each Class subordinated thereto, if any, and the denominator of which is the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all of the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group II as of the related Due Date, equals or exceeds such percentage calculated as of the Closing Date. If on any Distribution Date the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Group II Subordinate Certificates for which the related Class Prepayment Distribution Trigger was satisfied on such Distribution Date is reduced to zero, any amounts distributable to such Class pursuant to clauses (ii), (iii) and (v) of the definitions of Subordinate Optimal Principal Amount, to the extent of such Class’s remaining Allocable Share, shall be distributed to the remaining Classes of Group II Subordinate Certificates in reduction of their respective Certificate Principal Balances, sequentially, in the order of their numerical class designations. If the Class Prepayment Distribution Trigger is not satisfied for any Class of Group II Subordinate Certificates on any Distribution Date, this may have the effect of accelerating the amortization of more senior Classes of Group II Subordinate Certificates.

Amount Held for Future Distribution : As to any Distribution Date, the aggregate amount held in the Company’s or the related Servicer’s Protected Accounts at the close of business on the immediately preceding Determination Date on account of (i) all Scheduled Payments or portions thereof received in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the related Due Period and (ii) Principal Prepayments, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds received in respect of such Mortgage Loans after the last day of the related Prepayment Period.

Applied Realized Loss Amount : With respect to any Class of Group I Subordinate Certificates and as to any Distribution Date, the Realized Losses with respect to the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group I which have been applied in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of that Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 6.05 of this Agreement, which have not previously been reimbursed reduced by any Subsequent Recoveries applied to such Applied Realized Loss Amount.

Appraised Value : With respect to any Mortgage Loan originated in connection with a refinancing, the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property based upon the appraisal made at the time of such refinancing or, with respect to any other Mortgage Loan, the lesser of (x) the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property based upon the appraisal made by a fee appraiser at the time of the origination of the related Mortgage Loan, and (y) the sales price of the Mortgaged Property at the time of such origination.

As of the Closing Date, each Class of Offered Certificates constitutes a Class of Book-Entry Certificates.

Business Day : Any day other than (i) a Saturday or a Sunday, or (ii) a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York, New York, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Columbia, Maryland or the city in which the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or the principal office of the Company or the Master Servicer is located are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to be closed.
