in clause (i) above cannot be located, the
obligations of the Depositor to
deliver such documents shall be deemed to
be satisfied upon delivery to the
Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the

a copy of each such document certified by
the related Underlying Seller in the
case of (x) above or the applicable public
recording office in the case of (y)
above to be a true and complete copy of the

master policy of title insurance)
pertaining to the Mortgaged Property relating
to a Mortgage Loan cannot be delivered by
the Depositor to the Trustee (or the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) prior
to or concurrently with the execution
and delivery of this Agreement because such
policy is not yet available, the
Depositor may, in lieu of delivering the

insurance, deliver to the Trustee or the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) a
binder with respect to such policy (which
may be a certificate relating to a
master policy of title insurance) and

modification, consolidation or extension
agreement cannot be delivered by the
Depositor to the

Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the

with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the Depositor may, in lieu of
delivering the original of such agreement,
deliver a certified copy thereof.
Except with respect to any Mortgage Loan for which MERS is
identified on the Mortgage or on a properly
recorded assignment of the Mortgage
as the mortgagee of record, the Trustee
shall enforce the obligation of the
related Servicer or Underlying Seller under
the related Servicing Agreement to
promptly (within sixty days following the
later of the Closing Date and the date
of receipt by the Trustee (or the Custodian
on behalf of the Trustee) of the
recording information for a Mortgage, but
in no event later than ninety days
following the Closing Date) submit or cause
to be submitted for recording, at
the expense of such Servicer or Underlying
Seller (except, in the case of any
Mortgage Loan, to the extent such Servicer
or Underlying Seller shall have paid
for one such recordation as required under
the related Servicing Agreement, in
which case, such obligation to record shall
be an obligation of the Mortgage
Loan Seller and such cost shall be at the
expense of the Mortgage Loan Seller)
and at no expense to the Trust Fund, the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the
Master Servicer or the Depositor, in the
appropriate public office for real
property records, each Assignment referred
to in clauses (iii) and (iv) above
and the Depositor shall execute or cause to
be executed each original Assignment
or cause each original Assignment to be
executed in the following form: "U.S.
Bank National Association, as Trustee under
the applicable agreement." In the
event that any such Assignment is lost or
returned unrecorded because of a
defect therein, the Trust Administrator, at
the expense of the Underlying Seller
or the Mortgage Loan Seller, shall promptly
prepare or cause to be prepared a
substitute Assignment or cure or cause to
be cured such defect, as the case may
be, and thereafter cause each such
Assignment to be duly recorded. If the
related Underlying Seller or the Mortgage
Loan Seller, as applicable, fails to
pay the cost of recording the Assignments
or of correcting any such defect, such
expense will be paid by the Trust
Administrator and shall be reimbursable to the
Trust Administrator as an Extraordinary
Trust Fund Expense. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, neither the Trustee nor the
Trust Administrator shall be responsible
for determining whether any Assignment
delivered by the Depositor hereunder is
in recordable form. Notwithstanding any of
the foregoing, but without limiting
the requirement that such Assignments be in
recordable form, neither the Trust
Administrator nor the Trustee shall be
required to submit or cause to be
submitted for recording each Assignment
delivered to it (or to the Custodian)
pursuant to Sections 2.01(iii) and (iv), if
such recordation shall not, as of
the Closing Date, be required by the Rating
Agencies, as a condition to their
assignment on the Closing Date of their
initial ratings to the Certificates, as
evidenced by the delivery by the Rating
Agencies of their ratings letters on the
Closing Date. Nothing herein shall limit
any obligation any Servicer may have to
record any Assignment when required by the
applicable servicing standard or
other provisions of the related Servicing
Agreement.
In
connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan
registered on the MERS(R) System, the
Depositor further agrees that it will
cause, within 30 Business Days after the
Closing Date, the MERS(R) System to
indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been
assigned by the Depositor to the
Trustee in accordance with this Agreement
for the benefit of the

which are repurchased in accordance with
this Agreement) in such computer files
(a) the code in the field which identifies
the specific Trustee and (b) the code
in the field "Pool Field" which identifies
the series of the Certificates issued
in connection with such Mortgage Loans. The
Depositor further agrees that it
will not alter the codes

<PAGE>
referenced in this paragraph with respect
to any Mortgage Loan during the term
of this Agreement unless and until such
Mortgage Loan is repurchased in
accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
The Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee) promptly upon receipt
thereof any other original documents
constituting a part of a Mortgage File
received with respect to any Mortgage Loan,
including, but not limited to, any
original documents evidencing an
assumption, modification, consolidation or
extension of any Mortgage Loan.
All original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans that are
not delivered to the Trustee (or the
Custodian) are and shall be held by or on
behalf of the Mortgage Loan Seller, the
Servicer, the Depositor or the Master
Servicer, as the case may be, in trust for
the benefit of the Trustee on behalf
of the Certificateholders. In the event
that any such original document is
required pursuant to the terms of this
Section to be a part of a Mortgage File,
such document shall be delivered promptly
to the Trustee (or the Custodian). Any
such original document delivered to or held
by the Depositor that is not
required pursuant to the terms of this
Section to be a part of a Mortgage File,
shall be delivered promptly to the
Servicer.
Wherever it is provided in this Section 2.01 that any
document, evidence or information relating
to a Mortgage Loan be delivered or
supplied to the Trustee, the Depositor
shall do so by delivery thereof to the
Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee.

Closing Date, with respect to each
Mortgage Loan (or, with respect to any
document delivered after the Startup Day,
within 90 days of receipt and with respect
to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage,
within 90 days after the assignment
thereof) that, as to each Mortgage Loan
listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other
than any Mortgage Loan paid in full
or any Mortgage Loan specifically
identified in the exception report annexed
thereto as not being covered by such
certification), (i) all documents required
to be delivered to it pursuant to Section
2.01 of this Agreement (other than,
with respect to any Mortgage Loan listed on
the Mortgage Loan Schedule as
subject to a Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy, the original Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy, the receipt of which it
shall not be a duty of the Trustee or
the Custodian to ascertain) are in its
possession, (ii) such documents have been
reviewed by it and have not been mutilated,
damaged or torn and relate to such
Mortgage Loan and (iii) based on its
examination and only as to the foregoing,

state and zip code, the original
principal amount, the Monthly Payment
amount at origination, the original stated
maturity, the first Due Date and the Gross
Margin set forth in the Mortgage Loan
Schedule accurately reflects information
set forth in the Mortgage File. It is
herein acknowledged that, in conducting
such review, the Trustee (or the
Custodian, as applicable) is under no duty
or obligation to inspect, review or
examine any such documents, instruments,
certificates or other papers to
determine that they are genuine, legally
enforceable, valid or binding or
appropriate for the represented purpose or
that they have actually been recorded
or that they are other than what they
purport to be on their face.
Prior to the first anniversary date of this Agreement the
Trustee shall deliver (or cause the
Custodian to deliver) to the Depositor, the
Mortgage Loan Seller, the Master Servicer,
the Trust Administrator and the
Trustee a final certification in the form
annexed hereto as Exhibit C-2, with
any applicable exceptions noted
thereon.
If in the
process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making
or preparing, as the case may be, the
certifications referred to above, the
Trustee (or the Custodian, as applicable)
finds any document or documents
constituting a part of a Mortgage File to
be missing or defective in any
material respect, at the conclusion of its
review the Trustee (or the Custodian,
as applicable) shall so notify (cause the
Custodian to notify) the Depositor,
the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Master
Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the
Trustee. In addition, upon the discovery by
the Depositor or the Master Servicer
(or upon receipt by the Trustee of written
notification of such breach) of a
breach of any of the representations and
warranties made by the related
Underlying Seller under the related
Servicing Agreement or by the Mortgage Loan
Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement in respect of any Mortgage
Loan which materially adversely affects
such Mortgage Loan or the interests of
the related Certificateholders in such
Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice to
the other parties to this Agreement.
55

The Depositor and the Trustee intend that the assignment and
transfer herein contemplated constitute a
sale of the Mortgage Loans, the
related Mortgage Notes and the related
documents, conveying good title thereto
free and clear of any liens and
encumbrances, from the Depositor to the Trustee
in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders and that such property not be
part of the Depositor's estate or property
of the Depositor in the event of any
insolvency by the Depositor. In the event
that such conveyance is deemed to be,
or to be made as security for, a loan, the
parties intend that the Depositor
shall be deemed to have granted and does
hereby grant to the Trustee a first
priority perfected security interest in all
of the Depositor's right, title and
interest in and to the Mortgage Loans, the
related Mortgage Notes and the
related documents, and that this Agreement
shall constitute a security agreement
under applicable law.
SECTION 2.03. Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by
the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Underlying
Seller or the Depositor.
(a) Upon discovery or receipt of notice by the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or

representation, warranty or covenant under

as applicable, in respect of any
Mortgage Loan which materially adversely
affects the value of such Mortgage Loan

Certificateholders, the party so discovering or
receiving notice shall promptly notify the
other parties to this Agreement, and
the Trustee thereupon shall promptly notify
the related Underlying Seller and
the Mortgage Loan Seller of such defect,
missing document or breach and request

Mortgage Loan Seller, as applicable,
deliver such missing document or cure such
defect or breach within 90 days from

all material respects during such
period, the Trustee shall enforce the
obligations of such Underlying Seller or
the Mortgage Loan Seller, as applicable,
under the related Servicing Agreement
or the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, as
applicable, (i) to repurchase such

document, defect or breach, in the case of
each of (i) and (ii), if and to the
extent that such Underlying Seller or the
Mortgage Loan Seller, as applicable,
is obligated to do so under the related
Servicing Agreement or the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, as applicable. The
Purchase Price for the repurchased
Mortgage Loan and any indemnification shall
be remitted by the related
Underlying Seller or the Mortgage Loan
Seller, as applicable, to the Master
Servicer for deposit into the Master
Servicer Collection Account, and the Trust
Administrator, upon receipt of written
notice from the Master Servicer of such
deposit, shall give written notice to the

place and the Trustee shall release (or
cause the Custodian to release) to the
related Underlying Seller or the Mortgage

and deliver such instruments of transfer or
assignment, in each case without
recourse, as such Underlying Seller or the
Mortgage Loan Seller, as applicable,
shall furnish to it and as shall be
necessary to vest in such Underlying Seller
or the Mortgage Loan Seller, as applicable,
any Mortgage Loan released pursuant
hereto, and the Trustee
56

and the Trust Administrator shall have no
further responsibility with regard to
such Mortgage File. In lieu of repurchasing
any such Mortgage Loan as provided
above, if so provided in the related
Servicing Agreement or the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, as applicable, the
related Underlying Seller or the Mortgage
Loan Seller, as applicable, may cause such
Mortgage Loan to be removed from
REMIC I (in which case it shall become a
Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute
one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage

obligations with respect to any such
omission, defect or breach, as provided in
the related Underlying Agreement or the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, shall

Administrator on behalf of the
Certificateholders.

(d) Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans
for Deleted Mortgage Loans made pursuant to
Section 2.03(a) must be effected
prior to the date which is two years after
the Startup Day for REMIC I.
As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which an Underlying Seller
or the Mortgage Loan Seller, as applicable,
substitutes a Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution
shall be effected by such Underlying
Seller or the Mortgage Loan Seller, as
applicable, delivering to the Trustee (or
to the Custodian, as applicable), for such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the
Assignment in blank or to the
Trustee, and such other documents and
agreements, with all necessary
endorsements thereon, as are required by
Section 2.01, together with an
Officers' Certificate providing that each
such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan satisfies the definition thereof and
specifying the Substitution Shortfall
Amount (as described below), if any, in
connection with such substitution. The
Trustee (or the Custodian, as applicable)
shall acknowledge receipt for such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans
and shall thereafter, review such
documents within the time periods and in
the manner specified in Section 2.02
and deliver the applicable certifications,
with any applicable exceptions noted
thereon, within the time periods and in the
manner specified in Section 2.02.
Monthly Payments due with respect to
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the
month of substitution are not part of the
Trust Fund and will be retained by the
Underlying Seller or the Mortgage Loan
Seller, as applicable. For the month of
substitution, distributions to
Certificateholders will reflect the Monthly
Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan
on or before the Due Date in the month
of substitution, and the Underlying Seller
or the Mortgage Loan Seller, as
applicable, shall thereafter be entitled to
retain all
57
<PAGE>
amounts subsequently received in respect of
such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The
Trust Administrator shall give or cause to
be given written notice to the
Trustee and the Certificateholders that
such substitution has taken place, and
the Trust Administrator shall amend or
cause the Custodian to amend the Mortgage
Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of
such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the
terms of this Agreement and the
substitution of the Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans and, upon receipt
thereof, shall deliver a copy of such
amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the
Master Servicer. Upon such substitution,
such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans shall constitute part of the
Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all
respects to the terms of this
Agreement, the related Servicing Agreement
(including all applicable
representations and warranties thereof
included in such Servicing Agreement) and
the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
(including all applicable representations
and warranties thereof included in the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement), in
each case as of the date of
substitution.
For any month in which an Underlying Seller or the Mortgage
Loan Seller, as applicable, substitutes one
or more Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted
Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will
monitor the obligation of the Servicer, to
the extent provided in the Servicing
Agreement, to determine the amount (the
"Substitution Shortfall Amount"), if
any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price
of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans
exceeds the aggregate of, as to each such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan,
the Scheduled Principal Balance thereof as
of the date of substitution, together
with one month's interest on such Scheduled
Principal Balance at the applicable
Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate. If the
Servicing Agreement does not require the
Servicer to determine the Substitution
Shortfall Amount, the Master Servicer,
based on information provided to it by the
Servicer, shall determine the
Substitution Shortfall Amount. Upon receipt
of the Servicer's determination of
the Substitution Shortfall Amount or upon
determination by the Master Servicer
of the Substitution Shortfall Amount, the
Master Servicer shall give prompt
written notice thereof to the Trustee. On
the date of such substitution, the
Trustee will monitor the obligation of the
Underlying Seller or the Mortgage
Loan Seller, as applicable, to deliver or
cause to be delivered, and shall
request that such delivery be to the Master
Servicer for deposit in the Master
Servicer Collection Account, an amount
equal to the Substitution Shortfall
Amount, if any, and the Trustee (or the
Custodian, as applicable), upon receipt
of the related Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans and written notice
given by the Master Servicer of such
deposit, shall release to the Underlying
Seller or the Mortgage Loan Seller, as
applicable, the related Mortgage File or
Files and the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment, in
each case without recourse, as the
Underlying Seller or the Mortgage Loan
Seller, as applicable, shall deliver to
it and as shall be necessary to vest
therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released
pursuant hereto.
In addition, the Underlying Seller or the Mortgage Loan
Seller, as applicable, shall obtain at its
own expense and deliver to the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
such substitution will not cause (a) any
federal tax to be imposed on any Trust
REMIC, including without limitation, any
federal tax imposed on "prohibited
transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of
the Code or on "contributions after
the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(1)
of the Code, or (b) any Trust REMIC
to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time
that any Certificate is outstanding.
58
<PAGE>
(e) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trust Administrator or the Trustee that any
Mortgage Loan does not constitute a
"qualified mortgage" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the
party discovering such fact shall within
two Business Days give written notice
thereof to the other parties to this
Agreement, and the Trustee shall give
written notice thereof to the related
Underlying Seller and the Mortgage Loan
Seller. In connection therewith, the
related Underlying Seller pursuant to the
related Servicing Agreement, the Mortgage
Loan Seller pursuant to the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement or the Depositor
pursuant to this Agreement shall
repurchase or, subject to the limitations
set forth in Section 2.03(d),
substitute one or more Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans for the affected
Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier
of discovery or receipt of such
notice with respect to such affected
Mortgage Loan. Such repurchase or
substitution shall be made by (i) the
related Underlying Seller, if the affected
Mortgage Loan's status as a non-qualified
mortgage is or results from a breach
of any representation, warranty or covenant
made by the Underlying Seller under
the related Servicing Agreement, (ii) by
the Mortgage Loan Seller if the
affected Mortgage Loan's status as a
non-qualified mortgage is or results from a
breach of any representation, warranty or
covenant made by the Mortgage Loan
Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement and does not result from a
breach of any representation, warranty or
covenant made by the Underlying Seller
under the related Servicing Agreement or
(iii) the Depositor, if the affected
Mortgage Loan's status as a non-qualified
mortgage is a breach of no
representation or warranty. Any such
repurchase or substitution shall be made in
the same manner as set forth in Sections
2.03(a). The Trustee shall reconvey to
the Depositor, the Mortgage Loan Seller or
the related Underlying Seller, as the
case may be, the Mortgage Loan to be
released pursuant hereto in the same
manner, and on the same terms and
conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan
repurchased by the Mortgage Loan Seller or
such Underlying Seller for breach of
a representation or warranty.

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS
SECTION 3.01. Master Servicer to Act as Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the
obligation of the Servicer to service and
administer the Mortgage Loans in
accordance with the terms of the Servicing
Agreement and shall have full power
and authority to do any and all things
which it may deem necessary or desirable
in connection with such master servicing
and administration. In performing its
obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer
shall act in a manner consistent with
Accepted Master Servicing Practices.
Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall
oversee and consult with the Servicer as
necessary from time-to-time to carry
out the Master Servicer's obligations
hereunder, shall receive, review and
evaluate all reports, information and other
data provided to the Master Servicer
by the Servicer and shall cause the
Servicer to perform and observe the
covenants, obligations and conditions to be
performed or observed by the
Servicer under the Servicing Agreement. The
Master Servicer shall independently
monitor the Servicer's servicing activities
with respect to each Mortgage Loan,
reconcile the results of such monitoring
with such information provided in the
previous sentence on a monthly basis and
coordinate corrective adjustments to
the Servicer's and Master Servicer's
records, and based on such reconciled and
corrected information, the Master Servicer
shall provide such information to the
Trust Administrator as shall be necessary
in order for it to prepare the
statements specified in Section 4.02, and
prepare any other information and
statements required to be forwarded by the
Master Servicer hereunder. The Master
Servicer shall reconcile the results of its
Mortgage Loan monitoring with the
actual remittances of the Servicers to the
Custodial Account pursuant to the
Servicing Agreement.
The Trustee shall furnish the Servicer and the Master Servicer with
any
powers of attorney and other documents in
form as provided to it necessary or
appropriate to enable the Servicer and the
Master Servicer to service and
administer the Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties.
The Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall provide access to
the
records and documentation in possession of
the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, as applicable, regarding the
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties
and the servicing thereof to the
Certificateholders, the FDIC, and the
supervisory agents and examiners of the
FDIC, such access being afforded only
upon reasonable prior written request and
during normal business hours at the
office of the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, as applicable; provided,
however, that, unless otherwise required by
law, neither the Trustee nor the
Trust Administrator shall be required to
provide access to such records and
documentation if the provision thereof
would violate the legal right to privacy
of any Mortgagor. The Trustee and the Trust
Administrator shall allow
representatives of the above entities to
photocopy any of the records and
documentation and shall provide equipment
for that purpose at a charge that
covers the Trustee's or Trust
Administrator's, as applicable, actual costs.
62
<PAGE>
The Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer and the
Master
Servicer any court pleadings, requests for
trustee's sale or other documents
necessary or desirable to (i) the
foreclosure or trustee's sale with respect to
a Mortgaged Property; (ii) any legal action
brought to obtain judgment against
any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or
Security Instrument; (iii) obtain a
deficiency judgment against the Mortgagor;
or (iv) enforce any other rights or
remedies provided by the Mortgage Note or
Mortgage or otherwise available at law
or equity.
SECTION 3.02. [Reserved].
SECTION 3.03. Monitoring of Servicers.
(a) The Master Servicer shall be responsible for reporting to
the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and
the Depositor the compliance by the
Servicer with its duties under the
Servicing Agreement. In the review of the
Servicer's activities, the Master Servicer
may rely upon an officer's
certificate of the Servicer (or similar
document signed by an officer of the
Servicer) with regard to such Servicer's
compliance with the terms of the
Servicing Agreement. In the event that the
Master Servicer, in its judgment,
determines that the Servicer should be
terminated in accordance with the
Servicing Agreement, or that a notice
should be sent pursuant to such Servicing
Agreement with respect to the occurrence of
an event that, unless cured, would
constitute grounds for such termination,
the Master Servicer shall notify the
Depositor, the Trust Administrator and the
Trustee thereof and the Master
Servicer shall issue such notice or take
such other action as it deems
appropriate.
(b) The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and
the Certificateholders, shall enforce the
obligations of the Servicer under the
Servicing Agreement, and shall, in the
event that the Servicer fails to perform
its obligations in accordance with the
Servicing Agreement, subject to the
preceding paragraph, terminate the rights
and obligations of such Servicer
thereunder and act as Servicer of the
related Mortgage Loans or cause the
Trustee to enter in to a new Servicing
Agreement with a successor Servicer
selected by the Master Servicer; provided,
however, it is understood and
acknowledged by the parties hereto that
there will be a period of transition
(not to exceed 90 days) before the actual
servicing functions can be fully
transferred to such successor Servicer; and
provided, further, that any such new
Servicing Agreement shall be in a form
acceptable to the Trustee which is not
inconsistent with the duties of the Trustee
under this Agreement and the
Servicing Agreement with the terminated
Servicer. Such enforcement, including,
without limitation, the legal prosecution
of claims, termination of the
Servicing Agreement and the pursuit of
other appropriate remedies, shall be in
such form and carried out to such an extent
and at such time as the Master
Servicer, in its good faith business
judgment, would require were it the owner
of the related Mortgage Loans. The Master
Servicer shall pay the costs of such
enforcement at its own expense, provided
that the Master Servicer shall not be
required to prosecute or defend any legal
action except to the extent that the
Master Servicer shall have received
reasonable indemnity for its costs and
expenses in pursuing such action.
(c) To the extent that the costs and expenses of the Master
Servicer related to any termination of a
Servicer, appointment of a successor
Servicer or the transfer and assumption of
servicing by the Master Servicer with
respect to any Servicing Agreement
(including, without limitation, (i) all legal
costs and expenses and all due diligence
costs and expenses associated with
63
<PAGE>
an evaluation of the potential termination
of the Servicer as a result of an
event of default by such Servicer and (ii)
all costs and expenses associated
with the complete transfer of servicing,
including all servicing files and all
servicing data and the completion,
correction or manipulation of such servicing
data as may be required by the successor
Servicer to correct any errors or
insufficiencies in the servicing data or
otherwise to enable the successor
Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans in
accordance with the Servicing
Agreement) are not fully and timely
reimbursed by the terminated Servicer, the
Master Servicer shall be entitled to
reimbursement of such costs and expenses
from the Master Servicer Collection
Account.
(d) The Master Servicer shall require the Servicer to comply
with the remittance requirements and other
obligations set forth in the
Servicing Agreement.
(e) If the Master Servicer acts as Servicer, it will not
assume liability for the representations
and warranties of the Servicer, if any,
that it replaces.
SECTION 3.04. Fidelity Bond.
The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect
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 such 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 3.05. Power to Act; Procedures.
The Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans
and shall have full power and authority,
subject to the REMIC Provisions and the
provisions of Article X hereof, to do any
and all things that it may deem
necessary or desirable in connection with
the master servicing and
administration of the Mortgage Loans,
including but not limited to the power and
authority (i) to execute and deliver, on
behalf of the Certificateholders and
the Trustee, customary consents or waivers
and other instruments and documents,
(ii) to consent to transfers of any
Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the
Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages, (iii)
to collect any Insurance Proceeds
and Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to
effectuate foreclosure or other conversion
of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property
securing any Mortgage Loan, in each
case, in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement and the related
Servicing Agreement, as applicable;
provided, however, that the Master Servicer
shall not (and, consistent with its
responsibilities under Article X, shall not
permit any Servicer to) knowingly or
intentionally take any action, or fail to
take (or fail to cause to be taken) any
action reasonably within its control and
the scope of duties more specifically set
forth herein, that, under the REMIC
Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the
case may be, would cause any Trust
REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or
result in the imposition of a tax upon
the Trust Fund (including but not limited
to the tax on prohibited transactions
as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the
Code and the tax on contributions to a
REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the
Code) unless the Master Servicer has
received an Opinion of Counsel (but not at
the expense of the Master Servicer)
to the effect that the contemplated action
would not cause any REMIC to fail to
qualify as a REMIC or result in the
imposition of a tax upon any REMIC. The
Trustee shall
64
<PAGE>
furnish the Master Servicer or any
Servicer, upon written request from a
Servicing Officer, with any powers of
attorney empowering the Master Servicer or
any Servicer to execute and deliver
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation,
or of partial or full release or discharge,
and to foreclose upon or otherwise
liquidate Mortgaged Property, and to
appeal, prosecute or defend in any court
action relating to the Mortgage Loans or
the Mortgaged Property, in accordance
with the applicable Servicing Agreement and
this Agreement, and the Trustee
shall execute and deliver such other
documents, as the Master Servicer may
request, to enable the Master Servicer to
master service and administer the
Mortgage Loans and carry out its duties
hereunder, in each case in accordance
with Accepted Master Servicing Practices
(and the Trustee shall have no
liability for misuse of any such powers of
attorney by the Master Servicer or
any Servicer). If the Master Servicer or
the Trustee has been advised that it is
likely that the laws of the state in which
action is to be taken prohibit such
action if taken in the name of the Trustee
or that the Trustee would be
adversely affected under the "doing
business" or tax laws of such state if such
action is taken in its name, the Master
Servicer shall join with the Trustee in
the appointment of a co-trustee pursuant to
Section 8.10 hereof. In the
performance of its duties hereunder, the
Master Servicer shall be an independent
contractor and shall not, except in those
instances where it is taking action in
the name of the Trustee, be deemed to be
the agent of the Trustee.
SECTION 3.06. Due on Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
To the extent provided in the Servicing Agreement, to the
extent Mortgage Loans contain enforceable
due-on-sale clauses, the Master
Servicer shall cause the Servicer to
enforce such clauses in accordance with the
Servicing Agreement. If applicable law
prohibits the enforcement of a
due-on-sale clause or such clause is
otherwise not enforced in accordance with
the Servicing Agreement, and, as a
consequence, a Mortgage Loan is assumed, the
original Mortgagor may be released from
liability in accordance with the
applicable Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 3.07. Release of Mortgage Files.
(a) Upon becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage
Loan, or the receipt by any Servicer of a
notification that payment in full has
been escrowed in a manner customary for
such purposes for payment to
Certificateholders on the next Distribution
Date, the Servicer will, if required
under the applicable Servicing Agreement
(or if the Servicer does not, the
Master Servicer may), promptly furnish to
the Custodian, on behalf of the
Trustee, two copies of a certification
substantially in the form of Exhibit E
hereto signed by a Servicing Officer or in
a mutually agreeable electronic
format which will, in lieu of a signature
on its face, originate from a
Servicing Officer (which certification
shall include a statement to the effect
that all amounts received in connection
with such payment that are required to
be deposited in the Custodial Account
maintained by the applicable Servicer
pursuant to the Servicing Agreement have
been or will be so deposited) and shall
request that the Custodian, on behalf of
the Trustee, deliver to the applicable
Servicer the related Mortgage File. Upon
receipt of such certification and
request, the Custodian, on behalf of the
Trustee, shall promptly release the
related Mortgage File to the applicable
Servicer and the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator and the Custodian shall have
no further responsibility with regard
to such Mortgage File. Upon any such
payment in full, the Servicer is
authorized, to give, as agent for the
Trustee, as the mortgagee under the
Mortgage that secured the Mortgage Loan, an
instrument of satisfaction (or
assignment of mortgage without recourse)
regarding the Mortgaged
65
<PAGE>
Property subject to the Mortgage, which
instrument of satisfaction or
assignment, as the case may be, shall be
delivered to the Person or Persons
entitled thereto against receipt therefor
of such payment, it being understood
and agreed that no expenses incurred in
connection with such instrument of
satisfaction or assignment, as the case may
be, shall be chargeable to the
Custodial Account.
(b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and in
accordance with the applicable Servicing
Agreement, the Trustee shall execute such
documents as shall be prepared and
furnished to the Trustee by the Servicer or
the Master Servicer (in form
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) and
as are necessary to the prosecution of
any such proceedings. The Custodian, on
behalf of the Trustee, shall, upon the
request of the Servicer or the Master
Servicer, and delivery to the Custodian,
on behalf of the Trustee, of two copies of
a request for release signed by a
Servicing Officer substantially in the form
of Exhibit E (or in a mutually
agreeable electronic format which will, in
lieu of a signature on its face,
originate from a Servicing Officer),
release the related Mortgage File held in
its possession or control to the Servicer
or the Master Servicer, as applicable.
Such trust receipt shall obligate the
Servicer or the Master Servicer to return
the Mortgage File to the Custodian on
behalf of the Trustee, when the need
therefor by the Servicer or the Master
Servicer no longer exists unless the
Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which
case, upon receipt of a certificate
of a Servicing Officer similar to that
hereinabove specified, the Mortgage File
shall be released by the Custodian, on
behalf of the Trustee, to the Servicer or
the Master Servicer.
SECTION 3.08. Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of
Master Servicer to be Held for Trustee.
(a) The Master Servicer shall transmit and the Servicer (to
the extent required by the Servicing
Agreement) shall transmit to the Trustee or
Custodian such documents and instruments
coming into the possession of the
Master Servicer or such Servicer from time
to time as are required by the terms
hereof, or in the case of the Servicer, the
Servicing Agreement, to be delivered
to the Trustee or Custodian. Any funds
received by the Master Servicer or by a
Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loan or
which otherwise are collected by the
Master Servicer or by a Servicer as
Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds
in respect of any Mortgage Loan shall be
held for the benefit of the Trustee and
the Certificateholders subject to the
Master Servicer's right to retain or
withdraw from the Master Servicer
Collection Account the Master Servicing
Compensation and other amounts provided in
this Agreement, and to the right of
each Servicer to retain its Servicing Fee
and other amounts as provided in the
applicable Servicing Agreement. The Master
Servicer shall, and (to the extent
provided in the applicable Servicing
Agreement) shall cause each Servicer to,
provide access to information and
documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans to
the Trustee, its agents and accountants at
any time upon reasonable request and
during normal business hours, and to
Certificateholders that are savings and
loan associations, banks or insurance
companies, the Office of Thrift
Supervision, the FDIC and the supervisory
agents and examiners of such Office
and Corporation or examiners of any other
federal or state banking or insurance
regulatory authority if so required by
applicable regulations of the Office of
Thrift Supervision or other regulatory
authority, such access to be afforded

(b) All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or
under the control of, the Master Servicer,
in respect of any Mortgage Loans,
whether from the collection of principal
and interest payments or from
Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds,
shall be held by the Master Servicer
for and on behalf of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders and shall be and
remain the sole and exclusive property of
the Trustee; provided, however, that
the Master Servicer and the Servicer shall
be entitled to setoff against, and
deduct from, any such funds any amounts
that are properly due and payable to the
Master Servicer or such Servicer under this
Agreement or the Servicing
Agreement, as applicable.
SECTION 3.09. Standard Hazard Insurance and Flood Insurance
Policies.
(a) For each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall enforce
any obligation of the Servicers under the
related Servicing Agreements to
maintain or cause to be maintained standard
fire and casualty insurance and,
where applicable, flood insurance, all in
accordance with the provisions of the
related Servicing Agreements. It is
understood and agreed that such insurance
shall be with insurers meeting the
eligibility requirements set forth in the
applicable Servicing Agreement and that no
earthquake or other additional
insurance is to be required of any
Mortgagor or to be maintained on property
acquired in respect of a defaulted loan,
other than pursuant to such applicable
laws and regulations as shall at any time
be in force and as shall require such
additional insurance.
(b) Pursuant to Section 3.19 and Section 3.20, any amounts
collected by the Master Servicer under any
insurance policies (other than
amounts to be applied to the restoration or
repair of the property subject to
the related Mortgage or released to the
Mortgagor in accordance with the
applicable Servicing Agreement) shall be
deposited into the Master Servicer
Collection Account, subject to withdrawal
pursuant to Section 3.20 and Section
3.21. Any cost incurred by the Master
Servicer in maintaining any such insurance
if the Mortgagor defaults in its obligation
to do so shall be added to the
amount owing under the Mortgage Loan where
the terms of the Mortgage Loan so
permit; provided, however, that the
addition of any such cost shall not be taken
into account for purposes of calculating
the distributions to be made to
Certificateholders and shall be recoverable
by the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.20 and Section 3.21.
SECTION 3.10. Presentment of Claims and Collection of
Proceeds.
The Master Servicer shall cause the related Servicer (to the
extent provided in the applicable Servicing
Agreement) to, prepare and present
on behalf of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders all claims under the
insurance policies and take such actions
(including the negotiation, settlement,
compromise or enforcement of the insured's
claim) as shall be necessary to
realize recovery under such policies. Any
proceeds disbursed to the Master
Servicer (or disbursed to a Servicer and
remitted to the Master Servicer) in
respect of such policies, bonds or
contracts shall be promptly deposited in the
Master Servicer Collection Account upon
receipt, except that any amounts
realized that are to be applied to the
repair or restoration of the related
Mortgaged Property as a condition precedent
to the presentation of claims on the
related Mortgage Loan to the insurer under
any applicable insurance policy need
not be so deposited (or remitted).

SECTION 3.11. Maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policies.
(a) The Master Servicer shall not take, or permit the Servicer
(to the extent such action is prohibited
under the Servicing Agreement) to take,
any action that would result in noncoverage
under any applicable Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss
which, but for the actions of the Master
Servicer or such Servicer, would have been
covered thereunder. The Master
Servicer shall use its best reasonable
efforts to cause the Servicer (to the
extent required under the related Servicing
Agreement) to keep in force and
effect (to the extent that the Mortgage
Loan requires the Mortgagor to maintain
such insurance), primary mortgage insurance
applicable to each Mortgage Loan in
accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, as
applicable. The Master Servicer shall not,
and shall not permit the Servicer (to
the extent required under the related
Servicing Agreement) to, cancel or refuse
to renew any such Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy that is in effect at the
date of the initial issuance of the
Mortgage Note and is required to be kept in
force hereunder except in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement and
the Servicing Agreement, as applicable.
(b) The Master Servicer agrees to present, or to cause the
Servicer (to the extent required under the
Servicing Agreement) to present, on
behalf of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under
any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies
and, in this regard, to take such
reasonable action as shall be necessary to
permit recovery under any Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policies respecting
defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to
Section 3.19 and Section 3.20, any amounts
collected by the Master Servicer or
the Servicer under any Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policies shall be deposited in
the Master Servicer Collection Account,
subject to withdrawal pursuant to
Section 3.20 and Section 3.21.
SECTION 3.12. Trustee to Retain Possession of Certain
Insurance Policies and Documents.
The Trustee shall retain (or cause a Custodian on its behalf
to retain) possession and custody of the
originals (to the extent available) of
any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, or
certificate of insurance if
applicable, and any certificates of renewal
as to the foregoing as may be issued
from time to time as contemplated by this
Agreement. Until all amounts
distributable in respect of the
Certificates have been distributed in full and
the Master Servicer otherwise has fulfilled
its obligations under this
Agreement, the Trustee shall also retain
(or cause a Custodian on its behalf to
retain) possession and custody of each
Mortgage File in accordance with and
subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. The Master Servicer shall
promptly deliver or cause to be delivered
to the Trustee (or to the Custodian on
the Trustee's behalf), upon the execution
or receipt thereof the originals of
any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies,
any certificates of renewal, and such
other documents or instruments that
constitute portions of the Mortgage File
that come into the possession of the Master
Servicer from time to time.
SECTION 3.13. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
The Master Servicer shall cause the Servicer (to the extent
required under the Servicing Agreement) to
foreclose upon, repossess or
otherwise comparably convert the ownership
of Mortgaged Properties securing such
of the Mortgage Loans as come into and
continue in default
68
<PAGE>
and as to which no satisfactory
arrangements can be made for collection of
delinquent payments, all in accordance with
the applicable Servicing Agreement.
