         Section 1.02      CALCULATION OF LIBOR.

 

         LIBOR applicable to the calculation of the Pass-Through Rate on the

Adjustable Rate Certificates for any Interest Accrual Period will be determined

on each Interest Determination Date. On each Interest Determination Date, LIBOR

shall be established by the Securities Administrator and, as to any Interest

Accrual Period, will equal the rate for one month United States dollar deposits

that appears on the Telerate Screen Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London" time, on

such Interest Determination Date. "Telerate Screen Page 3750" means the display

designated as page 3750 on the Telerate Service (or such other page as may

replace page 3750 on that service for the purpose of displaying London interbank

offered rates of major banks). If such rate does not appear on such page (or

such other page as may replace that page on that service, or if such service is

no longer offered, LIBOR shall be so established by use of such other service

for displaying LIBOR or comparable rates as may be reasonably selected by the

Securities Administrator), the rate will be the Reference Bank Rate. The

"Reference Bank Rate" will be determined on the basis of the rates at which

deposits in U.S. Dollars are offered by the reference banks (which shall be any

three major banks that are engaged in transactions in the London interbank

market, selected by the Securities Administrator) as of 11:00 a.m., London time,

on the Interest Determination Date to prime banks in the London interbank market

for a period of one month in amounts approximately equal to the aggregate

Current Principal Amount of the Adjustable Rate Certificates then outstanding.

The Securities Administrator will request the principal London office of each of

the reference banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such

quotations are provided, the rate will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations

rounded up to the nearest whole multiple of 0.03125%. If on such date fewer than

two quotations are provided as requested, the rate will be the arithmetic mean

of the rates quoted by one or more major banks in New York City, selected by the

Securities Administrator, as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date for

loans in U.S. Dollars to leading European banks for a period of one month in

amounts approximately equal to the aggregate Current Principal Amount of the

Adjustable Rate Certificates then outstanding. If no such quotations can be

obtained, the rate will be LIBOR for the prior Distribution Date; PROVIDED

HOWEVER, if, under the priorities described above, LIBOR for a Distribution Date

would be based on LIBOR for the previous Distribution Date for the third

consecutive Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall select an

alternative comparable index (over which the Securities Administrator e has no

control), used for determining one-month Eurodollar lending rates that is

calculated and published (or otherwise made available) by an independent party.

The establishment of LIBOR by the Securities Administrator on any Interest

Determination Date and the Securities Administrator's subsequent calculation of

the Pass-Through Rate applicable to the Adjustable Rate Certificates for the

relevant Interest Accrual Period, in the absence of manifest error, will be

final and binding. Promptly following each Interest Determination Date the

Securities Administrator shall supply the Master Servicer with the results of

its determination of LIBOR on such date.

         Section 2.01      CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS TO TRUSTEE.

 

         (a) The Depositor concurrently with the execution and delivery of this

Agreement, sells, transfers and assigns to each Trust without recourse all its

right, title and interest in and to (i) the Mortgage Loans identified in the

Mortgage Loan Schedule, including all interest and principal due with respect to

the Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off Date, but excluding any payments of

principal and interest due on or prior to the Cut-off Date; (ii) such assets as

shall from time to time be credited or are required by the terms of this

Agreement to be credited to the Master Servicer Collection Account, (iii) such

assets relating to the Mortgage Loans as from time to time may be held by the

Servicers in the Protected Accounts, the Master Servicer in the Master Servicer

Collection Account and the Paying Agent in the Distribution Account, (iv) any

REO Property, (v) the Required Insurance Policies and any amounts paid or

payable by the insurer under any Insurance Policy (to the extent the mortgagee

has a claim thereto), (vi) the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to the extent

provided in Subsection 2.03(a), (vii) the rights with respect to the Servicing

Agreements as assigned to the Trustee on behalf of the related

Certificateholders by the Assignment Agreements and (viii) all proceeds of the

foregoing. Although it is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that the

conveyance of the Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage

Loans and other assets in the Trust Funds pursuant to this Agreement shall

constitute a purchase and sale and not a loan, in the event that such conveyance

is deemed to be a loan, it is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that

the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted to the Trustee a first priority

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

in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and other assets in the Trust Fund, and that

this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

Moreover, if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a

security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the other assets constituting the

Trust Funds, then it is intended as follows: (a) this Agreement shall also be

deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the

Uniform Commercial Code; (b) the conveyance provided for in this Section shall

be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest

in all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans

and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing

into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without

limitation all amounts from time to time held or invested in the Distribution

Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property;

(c) the possession by the Trustee or its agent of the Mortgage Loans and such

other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents

or chattel paper shall be deemed to be "possession by the secured party" for

purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to Section 9-305 of the

Uniform Commercial Code; (d) the Securities Administrator shall be deemed to be

the "securities intermediary," as such term is defined in Section

8-102(a)(14)(ii) of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, that in the ordinary

course of its business maintains "securities accounts" for others, as such term

is used in Section 8-501 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; (e) the

"securities intermediary's jurisdiction" as defined in the New York Uniform

Commercial Code shall be the State of New York; (f) the Securities Administrator

is not a "clearing corporation", as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(5)

of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and (g) notifications to persons holding

such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons

holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to or

acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries,

bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting

such security interest under applicable law. The Depositor, the Seller and the

Trustee agree that it is not intended that any mortgage loan be conveyed to the

Trust that is either (i) a "High-Cost Home Loan" as defined in the New Jersey

Home Ownership Act effective November 27, 2003, (ii) a "High-Cost Home Loan" as

defined in the New Mexico Home Loan Protection Act effective January 1, 2004

(iii) a "High Cost Home Mortgage Loan" as defined in the Massachusetts Predatory

Home Loan Practices Act effective November 7, 2004 or (iv) a "High-Cost Home

Loan" as defined by the Indiana High Cost Home Loan Law effective Jan 1, 2005.

 

         (b) In connection with the above transfer and assignment, the Depositor

hereby delivers to the Custodian, as agent for the Trustee, with respect to each

Mortgage Loan (other than a Cooperative Loan):

 

                  (i) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed without recourse (a)

Note;

 

                  (ii) the original Mortgage and, if the related Mortgage

Loan is a MOM Loan, noting the presence of the MIN and language indicating that

thereon (or if clause (w) in the proviso below applies, shall be in recordable

form);

 

                  (iii) unless the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, a certified

copy of the assignment (which may be in the form of a blanket assignment if

permitted in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located) to

"U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee", with evidence of recording with

respect to each Mortgage Loan in the name of the Trustee thereon (or if clause

(w) in the proviso below applies or for Mortgage Loans with respect to which the

related Mortgaged Property is located in a state other than Maryland or an

Opinion of Counsel has been provided as set forth in this Section 2.01(b), shall

be in recordable form);

 

                  (iv) all intervening assignments of the Security

Instrument, if applicable and only to the extent available to the Depositor with

evidence of recording thereon;

 

                  (v) the original or a copy of the policy or certificate of

primary mortgage guaranty insurance, to the extent available, if any;

 

                  (vi) the original policy of title insurance or mortgagee's

and (II) with respect to each Cooperative Loan so assigned:

 

                  (i) The original Mortgage Note, endorsed without recourse to

the order of the Trustee and showing an unbroken chain of endorsements from the

originator thereof to the Person endorsing it to the Trustee, or lost note

affidavit, together with a copy of the related Mortgage Note;

 

                  (ii) A counterpart of the Cooperative Lease and the Assignment

of Proprietary Lease to the originator of the Cooperative Loan with intervening

assignments showing an unbroken chain of title from such originator to the

Trustee;

 

                  (iii) The related Cooperative Stock Certificate, representing

the related Cooperative Stock pledged with respect to such Cooperative Loan,

together with an undated stock power (or other similar instrument) executed in

blank;

 

                  (iv) The original recognition agreement by the Cooperative of

the interests of the mortgagee with respect to the related Cooperative Loan and

any transfer documents related to the recognition agreement;

 

                  (v) The Security Agreement;

 

                  (vi) Copies of the original UCC-1 financing statement, and any

continuation statements, filed by the originator of such Cooperative Loan as

secured party, each with evidence of recording thereof, evidencing the interest

of the originator under the Security Agreement and the Assignment of Proprietary

Lease;

 

                  (vii) Copies of the filed UCC-3 assignments of the security

interest referenced in clause (vi) above showing an unbroken chain of title from

the originator to the Trustee, each with evidence of recording thereof,

evidencing the interest of the originator under the Security Agreement and the

Assignment of Proprietary Lease;

 

                  (viii) An executed assignment of the interest of the

originator in the Security Agreement and Assignment of Proprietary Lease,

showing an unbroken chain of title from the originator to the Trustee; and

 

                  (ix) The original of each modification, assumption agreement

or preferred loan agreement, if any, relating to such Cooperative Loan;

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in lieu of the foregoing, the Depositor may deliver to

the Custodian, as agent of the Trustee, the following documents, under the

circumstances set forth below: (w) in lieu of the original Security Instrument,

assignments to the Trustee or intervening assignments thereof which have been

delivered, are being delivered or will, upon receipt of recording information

relating to the Security Instrument required to be included thereon, be

delivered to recording offices for recording and have not been returned to the

Depositor in time to permit their delivery as specified above, the Depositor may

deliver a true copy thereof with a certification by the Depositor, on the face

of such copy, substantially as follows: "Certified to be a true and correct copy

of the original, which has been transmitted for recording"; (x) in lieu of the

Security Instrument, assignment to the Trustee or intervening assignments

thereof, if the applicable jurisdiction retains the originals of such documents

(as evidenced by a certification from the Depositor to such effect) the

Depositor may deliver photocopies of such documents containing an original

certification by the judicial or other governmental authority of the

jurisdiction where such documents were recorded; (y) in lieu of the Mortgage

Notes relating to the Mortgage Loans identified on Exhibit 5 to the Mortgage

Loan Purchase Agreement, the Depositor may deliver lost note affidavits from the

Seller; and (z) the Depositor shall not be required to deliver intervening

originator or underlying Seller and the Seller, between the Seller and the

however, that in the case of Mortgage Loans which have been prepaid in full

after the Cut-off Date and prior to the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of

delivering the above documents, may deliver to the Trustee or the Custodian, as

its agent, a certification to such effect and shall deposit all amounts paid in

respect of such Mortgage Loans in the Master Servicer Collection Account on the

Closing Date. The Depositor shall deliver such original documents (including any

original documents as to which certified copies had previously been delivered)

to the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, promptly after they are received.

The Depositor shall cause the Seller, at its expense, to cause each assignment

of the Security Instrument to the Trustee to be recorded not later than 180 days

after the Closing Date, unless (a) such recordation is not required by the

Rating Agencies or an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee has been

provided to the Trustee (with a copy to the Custodian) which states that

recordation of such Security Instrument is not required to protect the interests

of the related Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loans or (b) MERS is

identified on the Mortgage or on a properly recorded assignment of the Mortgage

as the mortgagee of record solely as nominee for the Seller and its successor

and assigns; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, each assignment

shall be submitted for recording by the Seller in the manner described above, at

no expense to the Trust or the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, upon the

earliest to occur of: (i) reasonable direction by the Holders of Certificates

evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the

Trust Fund, (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default, (iii) the occurrence of

a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Seller and (iv) the

occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 8.02 hereof.

the assignments, such expense will be paid by the Trustee and the Trustee shall

be reimbursed for such expenses by the Trust in accordance with Section 9.05.

 

         Section 2.02    ACCEPTANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS AND UNDERLYING CERTIFICATES

                        BY TRUSTEE.

 

         (a) The Trustee acknowledges the sale, transfer and assignment of the

Trust Funds to it by the Depositor and receipt of, subject to further review and

the exceptions which may be noted pursuant to the procedures described below,

and declares that it holds, the documents (or certified copies thereof)

delivered to the Custodian, as its agent, pursuant to Section 2.01(b), and

declares that it will continue to hold those documents and any amendments,

replacements or supplements thereto and all other assets of the Trust Funds

delivered to it as Trustee in trust for the use and benefit of all present and

future Holders of the related Certificates. On the Closing Date, the Custodian,

with respect to the Mortgage Loans, shall acknowledge with respect to each

Mortgage Loan by delivery to the Depositor and the Trustee of an Initial

Certification receipt of the Mortgage File, but without review of such Mortgage

File, except to the extent necessary to confirm that such Mortgage File contains

the related Mortgage Note or lost note affidavit. No later than 90 days after

the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan, within five

Business Days after the receipt by the Trustee or Custodian thereof), the

Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the related Certificateholders, to review or

cause to be reviewed by the Custodian on its behalf (under the Custodial

Agreement), each Mortgage File delivered to it and to execute and deliver, or

cause to be executed and delivered, to the Depositor and the Trustee an Interim

Certification. In conducting such review, the Trustee or Custodian will

ascertain whether all required documents have been executed and received, and

based on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, whether those documents relate, determined

on the basis of the Mortgagor name, original principal balance and loan number,

to the Mortgage Loans it has received, as identified in the Mortgage Loan

Schedule. In performing any such review, the Trustee or the Custodian, as its

agent, may conclusively rely on the purported due execution and genuineness of

any such document and on the purported genuineness of any signature thereon. If

the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, finds any document constituting part

of the Mortgage File has not been executed or received, or to be unrelated,

determined on the basis of the Mortgagor name, original principal balance and

loan number, to the Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit B or to appear

defective on its face (a "Material Defect"), the Trustee or the Custodian, as

its agent, shall promptly notify the Seller. In accordance with the Mortgage

Loan Purchase Agreement, the Seller shall correct or cure any such defect within

ninety (90) days from the date of notice from the Trustee or the Custodian, as

its agent, of the defect and if the Seller fails to correct or cure the defect

within such period, and such defect materially and adversely affects the

interests of the related Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan, the

Trustee shall enforce the Seller's obligation under the Mortgage Loan Purchase

Agreement to, within 90 days from the Trustee's or the Custodian's notification,

provide a Substitute Mortgage Loan (if within two years of the Closing Date) or

purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price; provided that, if such

defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a "qualified mortgage" as

defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure or repurchase must

occur within 90 days from the date such breach was discovered; provided,

however, that if such defect relates solely to the inability of the Seller to

deliver the original Security Instrument or intervening assignments thereof, or

a certified copy because the originals of such documents, or a certified copy

have not been returned by the applicable jurisdiction, the Seller shall not be

required to purchase such Mortgage Loan if the Seller delivers such original

documents or certified copy promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than

360 days after the Closing Date. The foregoing repurchase obligation shall not

apply in the event that the Seller cannot deliver such original or copy of any

document submitted for recording to the appropriate recording office in the

applicable jurisdiction because such document has not been returned by such

office; provided that the Seller shall instead deliver a recording receipt of

such recording office or, if such receipt is not available, a certificate

confirming that such documents have been accepted for recording, and delivery to

the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall be effected by the Seller

within thirty days of its receipt of the original recorded document.

 

         (b) No later than 180 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee or the

Custodian, as its agent, will review, for the benefit of the Certificateholders,

the Mortgage Files delivered to it and will execute and deliver or cause to be

executed and delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee a Final Certification.

In conducting such review, the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, will

ascertain whether an original of each document required to be recorded has been

returned from the recording office with evidence of recording thereon or a

certified copy has been obtained from the recording office. If the Trustee or

the Custodian, as its agent, finds a Material Defect, the Trustee or the

Custodian, as its agent, shall promptly notify the Seller (provided, however,

that with respect to those documents described in subsections (b)(I)(iv), (v),

and (vii) of Section 2.01 and subsection (b)(II)(ix) of Section 2.01, the

Trustee's and Custodian's obligations shall extend only to the documents

actually delivered to the Custodian pursuant to such subsections). In accordance

with the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Seller shall correct or cure any

such defect within 90 days from the date of notice from the Trustee or the

Custodian, as its agent, of the Material Defect and if the Seller is unable to

cure such defect within such period, and if such defect materially and adversely

affects the interests of the related Certificateholders in the related Mortgage

Loan, the Trustee shall enforce the Seller's obligation under the Mortgage Loan

Purchase Agreement to, within 90 days from the Trustee's or Custodian's

notification, provide a Substitute Mortgage Loan (if within two years of the

Closing Date) or purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price, provided

that, if such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a "qualified

mortgage" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure,

repurchase or substitution must occur within 90 days from the date such breach

was discovered, provided, however, that if such defect relates solely to the

inability of the Seller to deliver the original Security Instrument or

intervening assignments thereof, or a certified copy, because the originals of

such documents or a certified copy, have not been returned by the applicable

jurisdiction, the Seller shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan,

if the Seller delivers such original documents or certified copy promptly upon

receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date. The

foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event that the Seller

cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted for recording to

the appropriate recording office in the applicable jurisdiction because such

document has not been returned by such office; provided that the Seller shall

instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office or, if such receipt

is not available, a certificate confirming that such documents have been

accepted for recording, and delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian, as its

agent, shall be effected by the Seller within thirty days of its receipt of the

original recorded document.

 

         (c) In the event that a Mortgage Loan is purchased by the Seller in

accordance with Subsections 2.02(a) or (b) above, the Seller shall remit to the

Master Servicer the Repurchase Price for deposit in the Master Servicer

Collection Account and the Seller shall provide to the Securities Administrator

and the Trustee written notification detailing the components of the Repurchase

Price. Upon deposit of the Repurchase Price in the Master Servicer Collection

Account, the Depositor shall notify the Trustee and the Custodian, as agent of

the Trustee (upon receipt of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit D

attached hereto with respect to such Mortgage Loan), shall release to the Seller

the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver all

instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, representation or

warranty, furnished to it by the Seller, as are necessary to vest in the Seller

title to and rights under the Mortgage Loan. Such purchase shall be deemed to

have occurred on the date on which the Repurchase Price in immediately available

funds is received by the Paying Agent. The Master Servicer shall amend the

Mortgage Loan Schedule, which was previously delivered to it by the Depositor in

a form agreed to between the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, to

reflect such repurchase and shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies and the

Securities Administrator of such amendment. The obligation of the Seller to

repurchase or substitute for any Mortgage Loan a Substitute Mortgage Loan as to

which such a defect in a constituent document exists shall be the sole remedy

respecting such defect available to the related Certificateholders or to the

Trustee on their behalf.

 

         Section 2.03    ASSIGNMENT OF INTEREST IN THE MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE

                         AGREEMENT.

 

         (a) The Depositor hereby assigns to the Trustee, on behalf of the

Certificateholders of the Certificates, all of its right, title and interest in

the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including but not limited to the

Depositor's rights and obligations pursuant to the Servicing Agreements (noting

that the Seller has retained the right in the event of breach of the

representations, warranties and covenants, if any, with respect to the related

Mortgage Loans of the related Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement to

enforce the provisions thereof and to seek all or any available remedies). The

obligations of the Seller to substitute or repurchase, as applicable, a Mortgage

Loan shall be the Trustee's and the related Certificateholders' sole remedy for

any breach thereof. At the request of the Trustee, the Depositor shall take such

actions as may be necessary to enforce the above right, title and interest on

behalf of the Trustee, the related Certificateholders of the Certificates shall

execute such further documents as the Trustee may reasonably require in order to

enable the Trustee to carry out such enforcement.

 

         (b) If the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee

discovers a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in the

Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, which breach materially and adversely affects

the value of the interests of related 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. The Seller, within 90 days of

its discovery or receipt of notice that such breach has occurred (whichever

occurs earlier), shall cure the breach in all material respects or, subject to

the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as

applicable, shall purchase the Mortgage Loan or any property acquired with

respect thereto from the Trustee; provided, however, that if there is a breach

of any representation set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or

Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable, and the Mortgage Loan or the

related property acquired with respect thereto has been sold, then the Seller

shall pay, in lieu of the Repurchase Price, any excess of the Repurchase Price

over the Net Liquidation Proceeds received upon such sale. If the Net

Liquidation Proceeds exceed the Repurchase Price, any excess shall be paid to

the Seller to the extent not required by law to be paid to the borrower. Any

such purchase by the Seller shall be made by providing an amount equal to the

Repurchase Price to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Master Servicer

Collection Account and written notification detailing the components of such

Repurchase Price to the Master Servicer. The Depositor shall notify the Trustee

and submit to the Custodian, as agent for the Trustee, a Request for Release,

and the Custodian shall release, or the Trustee shall cause the Custodian to

release, to the Seller the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute

and deliver all instruments of transfer or assignment furnished to it by the

Seller, without recourse, representation or warranty as are necessary to vest in

the Seller title to and rights under the Mortgage Loan or any property acquired

with respect thereto. Such purchase shall be deemed to have occurred on the date

on which the Repurchase Price in available funds is received by the Trustee. The

Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect such

repurchase and shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Rating Agencies of such

amendment. Enforcement of the obligation of the Seller to purchase (or

substitute a Substitute Mortgage Loan for) any Mortgage Loan or any property

acquired with respect thereto (or pay the Repurchase Price as set forth in the

above proviso) as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall

constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the

Certificateholders or the Trustee on their behalf.

 

         Section 2.04    SUBSTITUTION OF MORTGAGE LOANS.

 

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in lieu of

purchasing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or

Sections 2.02 or 2.03 of this Agreement, the Seller may, no later than the date

by which such purchase by the Seller would otherwise be required, tender to the

Trustee a Substitute Mortgage Loan accompanied by a certificate of an authorized

officer of the Seller that such Substitute Mortgage Loan conforms to the

requirements set forth in the definition of "Substitute Mortgage Loan" in this

Agreement; provided, however, that substitution pursuant to the Mortgage Loan

Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable, in lieu of

purchase shall not be permitted after the termination of the two-year period

beginning on the Startup Day; provided, further, that if the breach would cause

the Mortgage Loan to be other than a "qualified mortgage" as defined in Section

860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure or substitution must occur within 90 days

from the date the breach was discovered. The Custodian, as agent for the

Trustee, shall examine the Mortgage File for any Substitute Mortgage Loan in the

manner set forth in Section 2.02(a) and the Trustee or the Custodian, as its

agent, shall notify the Seller, in writing, within five Business Days after

receipt, whether or not the documents relating to the Substitute Mortgage Loan

satisfy the requirements of the fifth sentence of Subsection 2.02(a). Within two

Business Days after such notification, the Seller shall provide to the Master

Servicer for deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account the amount, if

any, by which the Outstanding Principal Balance as of the next preceding Due

Date of the Mortgage Loan for which substitution is being made, after giving

effect to the Scheduled Principal due on such date, exceeds the Outstanding

Principal Balance as of such date of the Substitute Mortgage Loan, after giving

effect to Scheduled Principal due on such date, which amount shall be treated

for the purposes of this Agreement as if it were the payment by the Seller of

the Repurchase Price for the purchase of a Mortgage Loan by the Seller. After

such notification to the Seller and, if any such excess exists, upon receipt of

such deposit, the Trustee shall accept such Substitute Mortgage Loan which shall

thereafter be deemed to be a Mortgage Loan hereunder. In the event of such a

substitution, accrued interest on the Substitute Mortgage Loan for the month in

which the substitution occurs and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during

such month shall be the property of the Trust Fund and accrued interest for such

month on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made and any Principal

Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the Seller.

The Scheduled Principal on a Substitute Mortgage Loan due on the Due Date in the

month of substitution shall be the property of the Seller and the Scheduled

Principal on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made due on such

Due Date shall be the property of the Trust Fund. Upon acceptance of the

Substitute Mortgage Loan (and delivery to the Custodian of a Request for Release

for such Mortgage Loan), the Custodian, as agent for the Trustee, shall release

to the Seller the related Mortgage File related to any Mortgage Loan released

pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this

Agreement, as applicable, and shall execute and deliver all instruments of

transfer or assignment, without recourse, representation or warranty in form as

provided to it as are necessary to vest in the Seller title to and rights under

any Mortgage Loan released pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or

Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable. The Seller shall deliver to the

Custodian the documents related to the Substitute Mortgage Loan in accordance

with the provisions of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Subsections

2.01(b) and 2.02(b) of this Agreement, as applicable, with the date of

acceptance of the Substitute Mortgage Loan deemed to be the Closing Date for

purposes of the time periods set forth in those Subsections. The representations

and warranties set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall be deemed

to have been made by the Seller with respect to each Substitute Mortgage Loan as

of the date of acceptance of such Mortgage Loan by the Trustee. The Master

Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect such substitution and

shall provide a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee and

the Rating Agencies.

 

         Section 2.05    ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES.

 

         (a) The Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the Mortgage Loans

and the other assets comprising the Trust Funds and, concurrently therewith, the

Certificate Registrar has signed, and countersigned and delivered to the

Depositor, in exchange therefor, the Certificates in such authorized

denominations representing such Fractional Undivided Interests as the Depositor

has requested. The Trustee agrees that it will hold the Mortgage Loans and such

other assets as may from time to time be delivered to it segregated on the books

of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the related Certificateholders.

 

         (b) The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof,

does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey in trust to the

Trustee without recourse all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in

and to the REMIC I Regular Interests and REMIC II Regular Interests, and the

other assets of REMIC III for the benefit of the holders of the REMIC III

Interests. The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the REMIC I Regular Interests and

REMIC II Regular Interests (all of which are uncertificated) and the other

assets of REMIC III and declares that it holds and will hold the same in trust

for the exclusive use and benefit of the holders of the REMIC III Interests.

 

         Section 2.06    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES CONCERNING THE DEPOSITOR.

 

         The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee, the Master

Servicer and the Securities Administrator as follows:

 

         (a) the Depositor (i) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing

and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and (ii) is

qualified and in good standing as a foreign corporation to do business in each

enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated

hereby;

 

         (b) the Depositor has full corporate power to own its property, to

carry on its business as presently conducted and to enter into and perform its

obligations under this Agreement;

 

         (c) the execution and delivery by the Depositor of this Agreement have

been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the

Depositor; and neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the

consummation of the transactions herein contemplated, nor compliance with the

provisions hereof, will conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a

default under, any of the provisions of any law, governmental rule, regulation,

judgment, decree or order binding on the Depositor or its properties or the

articles of incorporation or by-laws of the Depositor, except those conflicts,

breaches or defaults which would not reasonably be expected to have a material

adverse effect on the Depositor's ability to enter into this Agreement and to

consummate the transactions contemplated hereby;

 

         (d) the execution, delivery and performance by the Depositor of this

Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not

require the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the registration

with, or the taking of any other action in respect of, any state, federal or

other governmental authority or agency, except those consents, approvals,

notices, registrations or other actions as have already been obtained, given or

made;

 

         (e) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the

Depositor and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other

parties hereto, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Depositor

enforceable against it in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable

bankruptcy and insolvency laws and other similar laws affecting the enforcement

of the rights of creditors generally);

 

         (f) there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the

knowledge of the Depositor, threatened against the Depositor, before or by any

court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body (i) with respect

to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) with respect

to any other matter which in the judgment of the Depositor will be determined

adversely to the Depositor and will if determined adversely to the Depositor

materially and adversely affect the Depositor's ability to enter into this

Agreement or perform its obligations under this Agreement; and the Depositor is

not in default with respect to any order of any court, administrative agency,

arbitrator or governmental body so as to materially and adversely affect the

transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and

 

         (g) immediately prior to the transfer and assignment to the Trustee,

each Mortgage Note and each Mortgage were not subject to an assignment or

pledge, and the Depositor had good and marketable title to and was the sole

owner thereof and had full right to transfer and sell such Mortgage Loan to the

Trustee free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim

or security interest.

                                   ARTICLE III

        Administration of the Trust Fund and Servicing of Mortgage Loans

 

         Section 3.01      MASTER SERVICER AND SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR.

 

         The Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the obligation

of the Servicers to service and administer their respective Mortgage Loans in

accordance with the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreements 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 each 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 each Servicer and shall cause each Servicer to perform

and observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or

observed by such Servicer under its applicable Servicing Agreement. The Master

Servicer shall independently and separately monitor each Servicer's servicing

activities with respect to each related 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 Servicers' and Master

Servicer's records, and based on such reconciled and corrected information, the

Master Servicer shall provide such information to the Securities Administrator

as shall be necessary in order for it to prepare the statements specified in

Section 6.05(a), 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 pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreements.

 

         The Trustee shall furnish the Servicers and the Master Servicer with

any powers of attorney and other documents in form as provided to it necessary

or appropriate to enable the Servicers and the Master Servicer to service and

administer the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property. The Trustee shall be

indemnified by the Master Servicer for any costs, liabilities or expenses

incurred by it in connection with such powers of attorney.

 

         The Trustee or the Custodian shall provide access to the records and

documentation in possession of the Trustee regarding the related Mortgage Loans

and REO Property and the servicing thereof to the related 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; provided, however, that, unless

otherwise required by law, the Trustee shall not 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 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

actual costs.

 

         The Trustee shall execute and deliver to the related 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 Security Instrument or

otherwise available at law or equity.

 

         Section 3.02    REMIC-RELATED COVENANTS.

 

         For as long as each REMIC shall exist, the Trustee and the Securities

Administrator shall act in accordance herewith to assure continuing treatment of

such REMIC as a REMIC, and the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall

comply with any directions of the Depositor, the related Servicer or the Master

Servicer to assure such continuing treatment. In particular, the Trustee shall

not (a) sell or permit the sale of all or any portion of the Mortgage Loans or

of any investment of deposits in an Account unless such sale is as a result of a

repurchase of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement or the Trustee has

received a REMIC Opinion addressed to the Trustee prepared at the expense of the

Trust Fund; and (b) other than with respect to a substitution pursuant to the

Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as

applicable, accept any contribution to any REMIC after the Startup Day without

receipt of a REMIC Opinion addressed to the Trustee.

 

         Section 3.03    MONITORING OF SERVICERS.

 

         (a) The Master Servicer shall be responsible for reporting to the

Trustee and the Depositor the compliance by each Servicer with its duties under

the related Servicing Agreement. In the review of each 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 its Servicing Agreement. In the event

that the Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines that a Servicer (other

than Wells Fargo) should be terminated in accordance with its 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 and

the Trustee thereof and the Master Servicer shall issue such notice or take such

other action as it deems appropriate. In the event that the Master Servicer, in

its judgment, determines that Wells Fargo should be terminated in accordance

with the Wells Fargo Servicing Agreement, or that a notice should be sent

pursuant to the Wells Fargo 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 and the Trustee thereof in

writing. Pursuant to its receipt of such written notification from the Master

Servicer, the Trustee shall issue such notice of termination to Wells Fargo 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 each Servicer under the

related Servicing Agreement, and shall, in the event that a Servicer other than

Wells Fargo fails to perform its obligations in accordance with the related

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 to cause the Trustee to enter into 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. In the event that Wells Fargo

fails to perform its obligations in accordance with the Wells Fargo Servicing

Agreement, subject to the preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer shall notify

the Trustee in writing of such failure. Pursuant to its receipt of such

notification from the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall terminate the rights

and obligations of Wells Fargo under the Wells Fargo Servicing Agreement and

enter in to a new Servicing Agreement with a successor Servicer selected by the

Trustee; 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. In either event, such enforcement, including, without limitation, the

legal prosecution of claims, termination of Servicing 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 the Master Servicer (or in the case Wells Fargo is

terminated as the Servicer, the Trustee) 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. In the

event that Wells Fargo is terminated as the Servicer, the Trustee shall pay the

costs of such enforcement at its own expense, subject to its right to be

reimbursed for such costs from the Master Servicer Collection Account pursuant

to Section 3.03(c); provided that the Trustee shall not be required to prosecute

or defend any legal action except to the extent that the Trustee shall have

received reasonable indemnity for its costs and expenses in pursuing such

action. Nothing herein shall impose any obligation on the part of the Trustee to

assume or succeed to the duties or obligations of Wells Fargo or the Master

Servicer.

 

         (c) In the event that Wells Fargo is terminated as Servicer, to the

extent that the costs and expenses of the Trustee related to any termination of

Wells Fargo, or the enforcement or prosecution of related claims, rights or

remedies, or the appointment of a successor Servicer (including, without

limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and

expenses associated with an evaluation of the potential termination of the Wells

Fargo as a result of an event of default by Wells Fargo 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 related Servicing Agreement) are not fully and timely reimbursed by Wells

Fargo after such termination, the Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement of

such costs and expenses from the Master Servicer Collection Account (which the

Master Servicer hereby agrees to pay to the Trustee from the Master Servicer

Collection Account upon demand) or, to the extent not paid from such account,

the Trustee shall be entitled to reimburse itself for such costs and expenses

from the Distribution Account. In all other cases, to the extent that the costs

and expenses of the Master Servicer related to any termination of a Servicer

(other than Wells Fargo), 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 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 related 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 each Servicer to comply with the

remittance requirements and other obligations set forth in the related Servicing

Agreement.

 

         (e) If the Master Servicer acts as Servicer, it will not assume

liability for the representations and warranties of the Servicer (other than

Wells Fargo), 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 Holders of the

Certificates 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, Liquidation Proceeds and Subsequent Recoveries,

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 Section 3.03, 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 related

REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon

the Trust Funds (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 furnish the Master 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 related 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 9.11 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 applicable Servicing Agreement, to the

extent Mortgage Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master

Servicer shall cause the Servicers to enforce such clauses in accordance with

the applicable 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 applicable Servicing Agreement, and, as a consequence, a Mortgage Loan

is assumed, the original Mortgagor may be released from liability in accordance

with the 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 related

Certificateholders on the next Distribution Date, the Servicer will, if required

under the applicable Servicing Agreement (or if the applicable 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

D 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 Protected Account maintained by the applicable Servicer

pursuant to Section 4.01 or by the applicable Servicer pursuant to the

applicable Servicing Agreement have been or will be so deposited) and shall

request that the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, deliver to the 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 Servicer and the Trustee and Custodian shall have no further

responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. Upon any such payment in full,

each 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 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 Protected 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 a 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 a 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 D (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. 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 each Servicer (to the extent

required by the related 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 Servicers, the applicable 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,

Insurance Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries in respect of any Mortgage Loan

shall be held for the benefit of the Trustee and the related 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, to related 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 without

charge but only upon reasonable request in writing and during normal business

hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it. In fulfilling such

a request the Master Servicer shall not be responsible for determining the

sufficiency of such information.

 

         (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,

Insurance Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries, shall be held by the Master

Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and the related Certificateholders and

shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee; provided,

however, that the Master Servicer and each 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

applicable Servicing Agreement.

 

         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 4.01 and 4.02, any amounts collected by the

Servicers or the Master Servicer, or by any 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

4.02 and 4.03. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or any 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 or such Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02 and 4.03.

 

         Section 3.10    PRESENTMENT OF CLAIMS AND COLLECTION OF PROCEEDS.

 

         The Master Servicer shall (to the extent provided in the applicable

Servicing Agreement) cause the related Servicer 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 THE PRIMARY MORTGAGE INSURANCE POLICIES.

 

         (a) The Master Servicer shall not take, or permit any Servicer (to the

extent such action is prohibited under the applicable 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 each 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 related Servicing

Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer shall not, and shall not permit

any 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 related Servicing Agreement, as applicable.

 

         (b) The Master Servicer agrees to present, or to cause each Servicer

(to the extent required under the related 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 4.01 and 4.02, any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or any

Servicer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the

Master Servicer Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Sections

4.02 and 4.03.

 

         Section 3.12    TRUSTEE TO RETAIN POSSESSION OF CERTAIN INSURANCE

                        POLICIES AND DOCUMENTS.

 

         The Trustee (or the Custodian, as directed by the Trustee), shall

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 (or its Custodian, if any, as directed by the Trustee) shall also 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 the Custodian, as directed

by the Trustee), 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 each Servicer (to the extent required

under the related 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 and as to which no

satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments, all

in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement.

 

         Section 3.14      COMPENSATION FOR THE MASTER SERVICER.

 

         The Master Servicer will be entitled to (i) the Master Servicing Fee;

provided, that the aggregate Master Servicing Fee with respect to any

Distribution Date shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Compensating

Interest payable by the Master Servicer for such Distribution Date pursuant to

Section 6.07 hereof, plus (ii) all income and gain realized from any investment

of funds in the Distribution Account and the Master Servicer Collection Account,

pursuant to Article IV, for the performance of its activities hereunder.

Servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, if any, late payment

charges, as collected, if any, or otherwise (but not including any prepayment

premium or penalty) shall be retained by the applicable Servicer and shall not

be deposited in the Protected Account. The Master Servicer shall be required to

pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder and

shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as provided in this

Agreement.

 

         Section 3.15    REO PROPERTY.

 

         (a) In the event the Trust Fund acquires ownership of any REO Property

in respect of any related Mortgage Loan, the deed or certificate of sale shall

be issued to the Trustee, or to its nominee, on behalf of the related

Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall, to the extent provided in the

applicable Servicing Agreement, cause the applicable Servicer to sell any REO

Property as expeditiously as possible and in accordance with the provisions of

this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable. Pursuant to

its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall cause the

applicable Servicer to protect and conserve, such REO Property in the manner and

to the extent required by the applicable Servicing Agreement, in accordance with

the REMIC Provisions and in a manner that does not result in a tax on "net

income from foreclosure property" or cause such REO Property to fail to qualify

as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code.

 

         (b) The Master Servicer shall, to the extent required by the related

Servicing Agreement, cause the applicable Servicer to deposit all funds

collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property in

the Protected Account.

 

         (c) The Master Servicer and the applicable Servicer, upon the final

disposition of any REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any

related unreimbursed Monthly Advances and other unreimbursed advances as well as

any unpaid Servicing Fees from Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with

the final disposition of such REO Property; provided, that any such unreimbursed

Monthly Advances as well as any unpaid Servicing Fees may be reimbursed or paid,

as the case may be, prior to final disposition, out of any net rental income or

other net amounts derived from such REO Property.

 

         (d) To the extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement, the

Liquidation Proceeds from the final disposition of the REO Property, net of any

payment to the Master Servicer and the applicable Servicer as provided above

shall be deposited in the Protected Account on or prior to the Determination

Date in the month following receipt thereof and be remitted by wire transfer in

immediately available funds to the Master Servicer for deposit into the related

Master Servicer Collection Account on the next succeeding Servicer Remittance

Date.

 

         Section 3.16    ANNUAL OFFICER'S CERTIFICATE AS TO COMPLIANCE.

 

         (a) The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Rating

Agencies on or before March 1 of each year, commencing on March 1, 2006, an

Officer's Certificate, certifying that with respect to the period ending

December 31 of the prior year: (i) such Servicing Officer has reviewed the

activities of such Master Servicer during the preceding calendar year or portion

thereof and its performance under this Agreement, (ii) to the best of such

Servicing Officer's knowledge, based on such review, such Master Servicer has

performed and fulfilled its duties, responsibilities and obligations under this

Agreement in all material respects throughout such year, or, if there has been a

default in the fulfillment of any such duties, responsibilities or obligations,

specifying each such default known to such Servicing Officer and the nature and

status thereof, (iii) nothing has come to the attention of such Servicing

Officer to lead such Servicing Officer to believe that any Servicer has failed

to perform any of its duties, responsibilities and obligations under its

Servicing Agreement in all material respects throughout such year, or, if there

has been a material default in the performance or fulfillment of any such

duties, responsibilities or obligations, specifying each such default known to

such Servicing Officer and the nature and status thereof.

 

         (b) Copies of such statements shall be provided to any

Certificateholder upon request, by the Master Servicer or by the Trustee at the

Master Servicer's expense if the Master Servicer failed to provide such copies

(unless (i) the Master Servicer shall have failed to provide the Trustee with

such statement or (ii) the Trustee shall be unaware of the Master Servicer's

failure to provide such statement).

 

         Section 3.17      ANNUAL INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S SERVICING REPORT.

 

         If the Master Servicer has, during the course of any calendar year,

directly serviced any of the Mortgage Loans, then the Master Servicer at its

expense shall cause a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public

accountants to furnish a statement to the Trustee, the Rating Agencies and the

Depositor on or before March 1 of each year to the effect that, with respect to

the most recently ended calendar year, such firm has examined certain records

and documents relating to the Master Servicer's performance of its servicing

obligations under this Agreement and pooling and servicing and trust agreements

in material respects similar to this Agreement and to each other and that, on

the basis of such examination conducted substantially in compliance with the

audit program for mortgages serviced for Freddie Mac or the Uniform Single

Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, such firm is of the opinion that the

Master Servicer's activities have been conducted in compliance with this

Agreement, or that such examination has disclosed no material items of

noncompliance except for (i) such exceptions as such firm believes to be

immaterial, (ii) such other exceptions as are set forth in such statement and

(iii) such exceptions that the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage

Bankers or the Audit Program for Mortgages Serviced by Freddie Mac requires it

to report. Copies of such statements shall be provided to any Certificateholder

upon request by the Master Servicer, or by the Trustee at the expense of the

Master Servicer if the Master Servicer shall fail to provide such copies but

only if the Master Servicer has provided the Trustee with such statement. If

such report discloses exceptions that are material, the Master Servicer shall

advise the Trustee whether such exceptions have been or are susceptible of cure,

and will take prompt action to do so.

 

         Section 3.18      REPORTS FILED WITH SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

 

         Within 15 days after each Distribution Date, the Securities

other information mutually agreed upon) with a copy of Certificate Distribution

Report for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to January 30 in

any year, the Securities Administrator shall, in accordance with industry

standards and only if instructed by the Depositor, file a Form 15 Suspension

Notice with respect to the Trust Fund, if applicable. Prior to (i) March 15,

provide the Securities Administrator with a Master Servicer Certification,

together with a copy of the annual independent accountant's servicing report of

each Servicer and annual statement of compliance of each Servicer, in each case,

required to be delivered pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement, and, if

applicable, the annual independent accountant's servicing report and annual

statement of compliance to be delivered by the Master Servicer pursuant to

Sections 3.16 and 3.17. Prior to (i) March 31, 2006, or such earlier filing date

as may be required by the Commission, and (ii) unless and until a Form 15

Suspension Notice shall have been filed, March 31 of each year thereafter, or

such earlier filing date as may be required by the Commission, the Securities

Administrator shall file a Form 10-K, in substance conforming to industry

standards, with respect to the Trust Fund. Such Form 10-K shall include the

Master Servicer Certification and other documentation provided by the Master

Servicer pursuant to the second preceding sentence. The Depositor hereby grants

to the Securities Administrator a limited power of attorney to execute and file

each such document on behalf of the Depositor. Such power of attorney shall

continue until either the earlier of (i) receipt by the Securities Administrator

from the Depositor of written termination of such power of attorney and (ii) the

termination of the Trust Fund. The Depositor agrees to promptly furnish to the

Securities Administrator, from time to time upon request, such further

information, reports and financial statements within its control related to this

Agreement and the Mortgage Loans as the Securities Administrator reasonably

deems appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the Commission.

The Securities Administrator shall have no responsibility to file any items

other than those specified in this Section 3.18; provided, however, the

Securities Administrator will cooperate with the Depositor in connection with

any additional filings with respect to the Trust Fund as the Depositor deems

necessary under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange

Act"). Fees and expenses incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection

Commercial Code financing statements that were filed on the Closing Date in

connection with the Trust with stamped recorded copies of such financing

statements to be delivered to the Trustee promptly upon receipt by the

Depositor. If directed by the Depositor in writing, the Trustee will file any

continuation statements solely at the expense of the Depositor. The Depositor

shall file any financing statements or amendments thereto required by any change

in the Uniform Commercial Code.

 

         Section 3.21      OPTIONAL PURCHASE OF DEFAULTED MORTGAGE LOANS.

 

         (a) With respect to any Mortgage Loan which as of the first day of a

Fiscal Quarter is delinquent in payment by 90 days or more or is an REO

Property, the Company shall have the right to purchase such Mortgage Loan from

the Trust at a price equal to the Repurchase Price; provided however (i) that

such Mortgage Loan is still 90 days or more delinquent or is an REO Property as

of the date of such purchase and (ii) this purchase option, if not theretofore

exercised, shall terminate on the date prior to the last day of the related

Fiscal Quarter. This purchase option, if not exercised, shall not be thereafter

reinstated unless the delinquency is cured and the Mortgage Loan thereafter

again becomes 90 days or more delinquent or becomes an REO Property, in which

case the option shall again become exercisable as of the first day of the

related Fiscal Quarter.

 

         (b) If at any time the Company remits to the Master Servicer a payment

for deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account covering the amount of the

Repurchase Price for such a Mortgage Loan, and the Company provides to the

Trustee a certification signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the amount of

such payment has been deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account, then

the Trustee shall execute the assignment of such Mortgage Loan to the Company at

the request of the Company without recourse, representation or warranty and the

Company shall succeed to all of the Trustee's right, title and interest in and

to such Mortgage Loan, and all security and documents relative thereto. Such

assignment shall be an assignment outright and not for security. The Company

will thereupon own such Mortgage, and all such security and documents, free of

any further obligation to the Trustee or the Certificateholders with respect

thereto.

from funds uninvested therein from time to time shall be for the account of the

each Distribution Date. If there is any loss on a Permitted Investment or demand

deposit, the Master Servicer shall remit the amount of the loss to the Paying

the Distribution Account and the funds deposited therein, the Master Servicer

shall take such action as may be necessary to ensure that the related

Certificateholders shall be entitled to the priorities afforded to such a trust

account (in addition to a claim against the estate of the Paying Agent) as

provided by 12 U.S.C. ss. 92a(e), and applicable regulations pursuant thereto,

if applicable, or any applicable comparable state statute applicable to state

chartered banking corporations.

         Section 5.01    CERTIFICATES.

 

         (a) The Depository, the Depositor and the Trustee have entered into a

Depository Agreement dated as of the Closing Date (the "Depository Agreement").

Except for the Residual Certificates, the Non-Offered Certificates (which are

also Physical Certificates) and the Individual Certificates and as provided in

Subsection 5.01(b), the Certificates shall at all times remain registered in the

name of the Depository or its nominee and at all times: (i) registration of such

Certificates may not be transferred by the Certificate Registrar except to a

successor to the Depository; (ii) ownership and transfers of registration of

such Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable

rules established by the Depository; (iii) the Depository may collect its usual

and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (iv)

the Certificate Registrar shall deal with the Depository as representative of

such Certificate Owners of the respective Class of Certificates for purposes of

exercising the rights of the related Certificateholders under this Agreement,

and requests and directions for and votes of such representative shall not be

deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate

Owners; and (v) the Certificate Registrar may rely and shall be fully protected

in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its

Depository Participants.

 

         The Residual Certificates and the Non-Offered Certificates are

initially Physical Certificates. If at any time the Holders of all of the

Certificates of one or more such Classes request that the Certificate Registrar

cause such Class to become Global Certificates, the Certificate Registrar and

the Depositor will take such action as may be reasonably required to cause the

Depository to accept such Class or Classes for trading if it may legally be so

traded.

 

          All transfers by Certificate Owners of such respective Classes of

Book-Entry Certificates and any Global Certificates shall be made in accordance

with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm

representing such Certificate Owners. Each Depository Participant shall only

transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of

brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository's

normal procedures.

 

         (b) If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Certificate Registrar in

writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge

its responsibilities as Depository and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a

qualified successor within 30 days or (ii) the Depositor at its option advises

the Certificate Registrar in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry

system through the Depository, the Certificate Registrar shall request that the

Depository notify all Certificate Owners of the occurrence of any such event and

of the availability of definitive, fully registered Certificates to Certificate

Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Certificate Registrar of the

Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from

the Depository for registration, the Certificate Registrar shall issue the

definitive Certificates. Neither the Depositor nor the Certificate Registrar

shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may

conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.

 

         (c) (i) REMIC I will be evidenced by (x) the REMIC I Regular

Interests, which will be uncertificated and non-transferable and are hereby

designated as the "regular interests" in REMIC I and have the initial principal

amounts and accrue interest at the Pass-Through Rates equal to those set forth

in this Section 5.01(c)(i), and (y) the Class I-R-1 Certificates, which are

hereby designated as the sole class of "residual interests" in REMIC I (each of

the foregoing as designated below).

                  amount but will accrue interest on its uncertificated notional

                  amount calculated in accordance with the definition of

                   "Uncertificated Notional Amount" herein.

 

         (2)       A variable pass-through rate equal to the excess, if any, of

                  Group I Mortgage Loans with Net Mortgage Rates greater than

                  5.2500% per annum over (b) 5.2500% per annum.

 

         Interest shall be payable to the REMIC I Regular Interests at the

applicable Pass-Through Rates on the related Uncertificated Principal Balances.

Distributions of principal (including only, in the case of principal from

Subgroup I-1, any remaining amounts after distributions to the Class I-R-1

Certificates until the Current Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to

zero) shall be deemed to be made to the REMIC I Regular Interests, in each case

from the related Subgroup, first, to the related REMIC I Regular Interest ending

with the designation "Sub," so that the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each

such REMIC I Regular Interest is equal to 0.1% of the excess of (x) the

aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Group I Mortgage Loans in the

related Subgroup other than the PO Percentage of the Scheduled Principal Balance

of any such Group I Mortgage Loans over (y) the aggregate Current Principal

Amount of the Group I Senior Certificates related to such Subgroup other than

the Class I-PO Certificates (except that if any such excess is a larger number

than in the preceding distribution period, the least amount of principal shall

be distributed to such REMIC I Regular Interests such that the REMIC I

Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained); and second, to the related REMIC I

Regular Interest ending with the designation "ZZZ," (provided that a portion of

the remaining principal equal to the Class I-PO Certificate Principal

Distribution Amount attributable to the Discount Mortgage Loans will be

distributed to REMIC I Regular Interest PO). Realized Losses from each Subgroup

shall be applied after all distributions have been made on each Distribution

Date, first, to the related REMIC I Regular Interest ending with the designation

"Sub," so that the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each such REMIC I Regular

Interest is equal to 0.1% of the excess of (x) the aggregate Scheduled Principal

Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Subgroup other than the PO

Percentage of the Scheduled Principal Balance of any such Group I Mortgage Loans

over (y) the aggregate Current Principal Amount of the Group I Senior

Certificates related to such Subgroup other than the Class I-PO Certificates

(except that if any such excess is a larger number than in the preceding

distribution period, the least amount of Realized Losses shall be applied to

such REMIC I Regular Interests such that the REMIC I Subordinated Balance Ratio

is maintained); and second, any remaining Realized Losses from each Subgroup to

the related REMIC I Regular Interests ending with the designation "ZZZ" (and the

related Class I-R-1 Certificates to the extent provided in Section 6.01) (except

that if a Realized Loss is recognized with respect to a Discount Mortgage Loan,

the applicable portion of such Realized Loss will be allocated to REMIC I

Regular Interest PO).

 

         The aggregate amount of any Net Interest Shortfalls for any

Distribution Date shall be allocated to accrued interest payable to the REMIC I

Interests other than REMIC I Regular Interest PO, PRO RATA, based on, and to the

extent of, one month's interest at the then applicable respective Pass-Through

Rates on the respective Uncertificated Principal Balances or Current Principal

Amount of each such REMIC I Interest.
