42
<PAGE>
In the
event that in connection with any Mortgage Loan that is not a
MERS
Mortgage Loan the Depositor cannot deliver
(a) the original recorded Mortgage or
(b) all interim recorded assignments
satisfying the requirements of clause (ii)
or (iii) above, respectively, concurrently
with the execution and delivery
hereof because such document or documents
have not been returned from the
applicable public recording office, the
Depositor shall promptly deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the
Custodian on its behalf such
original Mortgage or such interim
assignment, as the case may be, with evidence
of recording indicated thereon upon receipt
thereof from the public recording
office, or a copy thereof, certified, if
appropriate, by the relevant recording
office, but in no event shall any such
delivery of the original Mortgage and
each such interim assignment or a copy
thereof, certified, if appropriate, by
the relevant recording office, be made
later than one year following the Closing
Date; provided, however, in the event the
Depositor is unable to deliver or
cause to be delivered by such date each
Mortgage and each such interim
assignment by reason of the fact that any
such documents have not been returned
by the appropriate recording office, or, in
the case of each such interim
assignment, because the related Mortgage
has not been returned by the
appropriate recording office, the Depositor
shall deliver or cause to be
delivered such documents to the Trustee or
the Custodian on its behalf as
promptly as possible upon receipt thereof
and, in any event, within 720 days
following the Closing Date. The Depositor
shall forward or cause to be forwarded
to the Trustee or the Custodian on its
behalf (a) from time to time additional
original documents evidencing an assumption
or modification of a Mortgage Loan
and (b) any other documents required to be
delivered by the Depositor or the
Master Servicer to the Trustee. In the
event that the original Mortgage is not
delivered and in connection with the
payment in full of the related Mortgage
Loan and the public recording office
requires the presentation of a "lost
instruments affidavit and indemnity" or any
equivalent document, because only a
copy of the Mortgage can be delivered with
the instrument of satisfaction or
reconveyance, the Master Servicer shall
execute and deliver or cause to be
executed and delivered such a document to
the public recording office. In the
case where a public recording office
retains the original recorded Mortgage or
in the case where a Mortgage is lost after
recordation in a public recording
office, the Depositor shall deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Trustee or
the Custodian on its behalf a copy of such
Mortgage certified by such public
recording office to be a true and complete
copy of the original recorded
Mortgage.
In
addition, in the event that in connection with any Mortgage Loan
the
Depositor cannot deliver or cause to be
delivered the original or duplicate
original lender's title policy (together
with all riders thereto), satisfying
the requirements of clause (v) above,
concurrently with the execution and
delivery hereof because the related
Mortgage has not been returned from the
applicable public recording office, the
Depositor shall promptly deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the
Custodian on its behalf such
original or duplicate original lender's
title policy (together with all riders
thereto) upon receipt thereof from the
applicable title insurer, but in no event
shall any such delivery of the original or
duplicate original lender's title
policy be made later than one year
following the Closing Date; provided,
however, in the event the Depositor is
unable to deliver or cause to be
delivered by such date the original or
duplicate original lender's title policy
(together with all riders thereto) because
the related Mortgage has not been
returned by the appropriate recording
office, the Depositor shall deliver or
cause to be delivered such documents to the
Trustee or the Custodian on its
behalf as promptly as possible upon receipt
thereof and, in any event, within
720 days following the Closing Date;
provided further, however, that the
Depositor shall not be required to deliver
an original or duplicate lender's
title policy (together with all riders
thereto) if the Depositor delivers an
43
<PAGE>
Alternative Title Product in lieu thereof.
Notwithstanding the preceding, in
connection with any Mortgage Loan for which
either the original or duplicate
original title policy has not been
delivered to the Trust, if at any time during
the term of this Agreement the parent
company of the Seller does not have a long
term senior debt rating of A- or higher
from S&P and A- or higher from Fitch (if
rated by Fitch), then the Depositor shall
within 30 days deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian
on its behalf (if it has not
previously done so) a written commitment or
interim binder or preliminary report
of the title issued by the title insurance
or escrow company with respect to the
Mortgaged Property.
Subject to
the immediately following sentence, as promptly as practicable
subsequent to such transfer and assignment,
and in any event, within thirty (30)
days thereafter, the Master Servicer shall
(i) complete each assignment of
Mortgage, as follows: "First Horizon
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series
2005-FA8, The Bank of New York, as trustee
for the holders of the Certificates",
(ii) cause such assignment to be in proper
form for recording in the appropriate
public office for real property records and
(iii) cause to be delivered for
recording in the appropriate public office
for real property records the
assignments of the Mortgages to the
Trustee, except that, with respect to any
assignments of Mortgage as to which the
Master Servicer has not received the
information required to prepare such
assignment in recordable form, the Master
Servicer's obligation to do so and to
deliver the same for such recording shall
be as soon as practicable after receipt of
such information and in any event
within thirty (30) days after receipt
thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Master Servicer need not cause to be
recorded any assignment which relates
to a Mortgage Loan in any state other than
the Required Recordation States.
In the
case of Mortgage Loans that have been prepaid in full as of the
Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of
delivering the above documents to the
Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf,
will deposit in the Certificate Account
the portion of such payment that is
required to be deposited in the Certificate
Account pursuant to Section 3.8 hereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, within
thirty
days after the Closing Date, the Depositor
shall either (i) deliver or cause to
be delivered to the Trustee or the
Custodian on its behalf the Mortgage File as
required pursuant to this Section 2.1 for
each Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan or
(ii) (A) substitute or cause to be
substituted a Substitute Mortgage Loan for
the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan or (B)
repurchase or cause to be repurchased
the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan, which
substitution or repurchase shall be
accomplished in the manner and subject to
the conditions set forth in Section
2.3 (treating each Delay Delivery Mortgage
Loan as a Deleted Mortgage Loan for
purposes of such Section 2.3), provided,
however, that if the Depositor fails to
deliver a Mortgage File for any Delay
Delivery Mortgage Loan within the
thirty-day period provided in the prior
sentence, the Depositor shall use its
best reasonable efforts to effect or cause
to be effected a substitution, rather
than a repurchase of, such Deleted Mortgage
Loan and provided further that the
cure period provided for in Section 2.2 or
in Section 2.3 shall not apply to the
initial delivery of the Mortgage File for
such Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan, but
rather the Depositor shall have five (5)
Business Days to cure or cause to be
cured such failure to deliver. At the end
of such thirty-day period, the Trustee
or the Custodian, on its behalf shall send
a Delay Delivery Certification for
the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans delivered
during such thirty-day period in
44
<PAGE>
accordance with the provisions of Section
2.2. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, none
of the Mortgage Loans in the Trust
Fund is or will be Delay Delivery Mortgage
Loans.
SECTION 2.2 Acceptance by Trustee of the Mortgage Loans.
The
Trustee or the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee,
acknowledges
receipt of the documents identified in the
Initial Certification in the form
annexed hereto as Exhibit E and declares
that it or the Custodian holds and will
hold such documents and the other documents
delivered to it or the Custodian, as
applicable, constituting the Mortgage
Files, and that it or the Custodian, as
applicable, holds or will hold such other
assets as are included in the Trust
Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and
benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders. The Trustee
acknowledges that the Custodian will maintain
possession of the Mortgage Notes in the
State of Texas, unless otherwise
permitted by the Rating Agencies.
The
Trustee agrees to execute and deliver or to cause the Custodian
to
execute and deliver on the Closing Date to
the Depositor and the Master Servicer
an Initial Certification in the form
annexed hereto as Exhibit E. Based on its
or the Custodian's review and examination,
and only as to the documents
identified in such Initial Certification,
the Custodian, on behalf of the
Trustee, acknowledges that such documents
appear regular on their face and
relate to such Mortgage Loan. Neither the
Trustee nor the Custodian shall be
under any duty or obligation to inspect,
review or examine said documents,
instruments, certificates or other papers
to determine that the same are
genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the
represented purpose or that they
have actually been recorded in the real
estate records or that they are other
than what they purport to be on their
face.
On or
about the thirtieth (30th) day after the Closing Date, the
Trustee
shall deliver or shall cause the Custodian
to deliver to the Depositor and the
Master Servicer a Delay Delivery
Certification in the form annexed hereto as
Exhibit F, with any applicable exceptions
noted thereon. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, none of the Mortgage Loans
in the Trust Fund is or will be Delay
Delivery Mortgage Loans.
Not later
than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver
or shall cause the Custodian to deliver to
the Depositor and the Master Servicer
a Subsequent Certification in the form
annexed hereto as Exhibit G, with any
applicable exceptions noted thereon.
If, in the
course of such review, the Trustee or the Custodian, on behalf
of the Trustee, finds any document
constituting a part of a Mortgage File which
does not meet the requirements of Section
2.1, the Trustee shall list or shall
cause the Custodian to list such as an
exception in the Subsequent
Certification; provided, however that
neither the Trustee nor the Custodian
shall make any determination as to whether
(i) any endorsement is sufficient to
transfer all right, title and interest of
the party so endorsing, as noteholder
or assignee thereof, in and to that
Mortgage Note or (ii) any assignment is in
recordable form or is sufficient to effect
the assignment of and transfer to the
assignee thereof under the mortgage to
which the assignment relates. The Seller
shall promptly correct or cure such defect
within 90 days from the date it was
so notified of such defect and, if the
Seller does not correct or cure such
45
<PAGE>
defect within such period, the Seller shall
either (a) substitute for the
related Mortgage Loan a Substitute Mortgage
Loan, which substitution shall be
accomplished in the manner and subject to
the conditions set forth in Section
2.3, or (b) purchase such Mortgage Loan
from the Trustee within 90 days from the
date the Seller was notified of such defect
in writing at the Purchase Price of
such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that
in no event shall such substitution
or purchase occur more than 540 days from
the Closing Date, except that if the
substitution or purchase of a Mortgage Loan
pursuant to this provision is
required by reason of a delay in delivery
of any documents by the appropriate
recording office, and there is a dispute
between either the Master Servicer or
the Seller and the Trustee over the
location or status of the recorded document,
then such substitution or purchase shall
occur within 720 days from the Closing
Date. The Trustee shall deliver or shall
cause the Custodian to deliver written
notice to each Rating Agency within 270
days from the Closing Date indicating
each Mortgage Loan (a) which has not been
returned by the appropriate recording
office or (b) as to which there is a
dispute as to location or status of such
Mortgage Loan. Such notice shall be
delivered every 90 days thereafter until the
related Mortgage Loan is returned to the
Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf.
Any such substitution pursuant to (a) above
or purchase pursuant to (b) above
shall not be effected prior to the delivery
to the Trustee of the Opinion of
Counsel required by Section 2.5 hereof, if
any, and any substitution pursuant to
(a) above shall not be effected prior to
the additional delivery to the Trustee
of a Request for Release substantially in
the form of Exhibit L. No substitution
is permitted to be made in any calendar
month after the Determination Date for
such month. The Purchase Price for any such
Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by
the Seller in the Certificate Account on or
prior to the Distribution Account
Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in
the month following the month of
repurchase and, upon receipt of such
deposit and certification with respect
thereto in the form of Exhibit M hereto,
the Trustee shall cause the Custodian
to release the related Mortgage File to the
Seller and shall execute and deliver
at the Seller's request such instruments of
transfer or assignment prepared by
the Seller, in each case without recourse,
as shall be necessary to vest in the
Seller, or a designee, the Trustee's
interest in any Mortgage Loan released
pursuant hereto. If pursuant to the
foregoing provisions the Seller repurchases
a Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage
Loan, the Master Servicer shall either
(i) cause MERS to execute and deliver an
assignment of the Mortgage in
recordable form to transfer the Mortgage
from MERS to the Seller and shall cause
such Mortgage to be removed from
registration on the MERS(R) System in
accordance with MERS' rules and regulations
or (ii) cause MERS to designate on
the MERS(R) System the Seller as the
beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.
The
Trustee shall retain or shall cause the Custodian to retain
possession
and custody of each Mortgage File in
accordance with and subject to the terms
and conditions set forth herein. The Master
Servicer shall promptly deliver to
the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf,
upon the execution or receipt
thereof, the originals of such other
documents or instruments constituting the
Mortgage File as come into the possession
of the Master Servicer from time to
time.
It is
understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to
substitute for or to purchase any Mortgage
Loan which does not meet the
requirements of Section 2.1 above shall
constitute the sole remedy respecting
such defect available to the Trustee, the
Depositor and any Certificateholder
against the Seller.
The
mortgage loans permitted by the terms of this Agreement to be
included
in the Trust Fund are limited to (i) the
Mortgage Loans (with respect to which
the Seller has made in the MLPA, among
other representations and warranties, a
representation and warranty that no
Mortgage Loan is a "high cost loan" as
46
<PAGE>
defined by the specific applicable local,
state or federal predatory and abusive
lending laws, and (ii) Substitute Mortgage
Loans (which, by definition as set
forth in this Agreement and referred to in
the MLPA, are required to conform to,
among other representations and warranties,
a representation and warranty of the
Seller set forth in the MLPA that no
Substitute Mortgage Loan is a "high cost
loan" as defined by the specific applicable
local, state or federal predatory
and abusive lending laws). It is therefore
understood and agreed by the parties
hereto that it is not intended that any
Mortgage Loan be included in the Trust
Fund that is a "high-cost loan" as defined
by the specific applicable local,
state or federal predatory and abusive
lending laws.
SECTION 2.3 Representations and Warranties of the Master
Servicer;
Covenants
of the Seller.
(a)
The Master
Servicer hereby makes the representations and warranties
set forth in Schedule II hereto and by this reference
incorporated
herein, to the Depositor and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date,
or
if so specified therein, as of the Cut-off Date.
(b)
Upon discovery
by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a
representation or warranty made pursuant to Schedule B to the
MLPA
that materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering
such
breach shall give prompt notice thereof to the other parties.
The
Seller hereby covenants that within 90 days of the earlier of
its
discovery or its receipt of written notice from any party of a
breach of any representation or warranty made pursuant to Schedule
B
to the MLPA which materially and adversely affects the interests
of
the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, it shall cure such
breach in all material respects, and if such breach is not so
cured,
shall, (i) if such 90-day period expires prior to the second
anniversary of the Closing Date, remove such Mortgage Loan (a
"Deleted Mortgage Loan") from the Trust Fund and substitute in
its
place a Substitute Mortgage Loan, in the manner and subject to
the
conditions set forth in this Section; or (ii) repurchase the
affected Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans from the Trustee at
the
Purchase Price in the manner set forth below; provided,
however,
that any such substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be
effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of
Counsel required by Section 2.5 hereof, if any, and any such
substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected prior
to
the additional delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian on its
behalf of a Request for Release substantially in the form of
Exhibit
M and the Mortgage File for any such Substitute Mortgage Loan.
The
Seller shall promptly reimburse the Master Servicer and the
Trustee
for any expenses reasonably incurred by the Master Servicer or
the
Trustee in respect of enforcing the remedies for such breach.
With
respect to the representations and warranties described in this
Section which are made to the best of the Seller's knowledge, if
it
is discovered by either the Depositor, the Seller or the
Trustee
that the substance of such representation and warranty is
inaccurate
47
<PAGE>
and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value
of
the related Mortgage Loan or the interests of the
Certificateholders
therein, notwithstanding the Seller's lack of knowledge with
respect
to the substance of such representation or warranty, such
inaccuracy
shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation or
warranty.
With
respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Seller
shall
deliver to the Trustee or the Custodian on
its behalf for the benefit of the
Certificateholders the Mortgage Note, the
Mortgage, the related assignment of
the Mortgage, and such other documents and
agreements as are required by Section
2.1, with the Mortgage Note endorsed and
the Mortgage assigned as required by
Section 2.1. No substitution is permitted
to be made in any calendar month after
the Determination Date for such month.
Scheduled Payments due with respect to
Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of
substitution shall not be part of the
Trust Fund and will be retained by the
Seller on the next succeeding
Distribution Date. For the month of
substitution, distributions to
Certificateholders will include the monthly
payment due on any Deleted Mortgage
Loan for such month and thereafter the
Seller shall be entitled to retain all
amounts received in respect of such Deleted
Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer
shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for
the benefit of the Certificateholders
to reflect the removal of such Deleted
Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and the
Master Servicer shall deliver the
amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the
Trustee. Upon such substitution, the
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be
subject to the terms of this
Agreement in all respects, and the Seller
shall be deemed to have made with
respect to such Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans, as of the date of
substitution, the representations and
warranties made pursuant to Schedule B to
the MLPA with respect to such Mortgage
Loan. Upon any such substitution and the
deposit to the Certificate Account of the
amount required to be deposited
therein in connection with such
substitution as described in the following
paragraph, the Trustee shall release or
shall cause the Custodian to release the
Mortgage File held for the benefit of the
Certificateholders relating to such
Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Seller and
shall execute and deliver at the
Seller's direction such instruments of
transfer or assignment prepared by the
Seller, in each case without recourse, as
shall be necessary to vest title in
the Seller, or its designee, the Trustee's
interest in any Deleted Mortgage Loan
substituted for pursuant to this Section
2.3.
For any
month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Substitute
Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted
Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will
determine the amount (if any) by which the
aggregate principal balance of all
such Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the
date of substitution is less than the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all
such Deleted Mortgage Loans (after
application of the scheduled principal
portion of the monthly payments due in
the month of substitution). The amount of
such shortage (the "Substitution
Adjustment Amount") plus an amount equal to
the aggregate of any unreimbursed
Advances with respect to such Deleted
Mortgage Loans shall be deposited in the
Certificate Account by the Seller on or
before the Distribution Account Deposit
Date for the Distribution Date in the month
succeeding the calendar month during
which the related Mortgage Loan became
required to be purchased or replaced
hereunder.
In the
event that the Seller shall have repurchased a Mortgage Loan,
the
Purchase Price therefor shall be deposited
in the Certificate Account pursuant
to Section 3.5 on or before the
Distribution Account Deposit Date for the
Distribution Date in the month following
the month during which the Seller
became obligated hereunder to repurchase or
replace such Mortgage Loan and upon
such deposit of the Purchase Price, the
delivery of the Opinion of Counsel
required by Section 2.5 and receipt of a
Request for Release in the form of
48
<PAGE>
Exhibit M hereto, the Trustee shall release
or shall cause the Custodian to
release the related Mortgage File held for
the benefit of the Certificateholders
to such Person, and the Trustee shall
execute and deliver or shall cause the
Custodian to execute and deliver at such
Person's direction such instruments of
transfer or assignment prepared by such
Person, in each case without recourse,
as shall be necessary to transfer title
from the Trustee. It is understood and
agreed that the obligation under this
Agreement of the Seller to cure,
repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan as
to which a breach has occurred and is
continuing shall constitute the sole remedy
against the Seller respecting such
breach available to Certificateholders, the
Depositor or the Trustee on their
behalf.
After
giving effect to the sale of the Certificates by the Depositor
to
the Underwriters, and thereafter, so long
as any Certificates remain
outstanding, the Seller, its affiliates and
agents, collectively, shall not
beneficially own Certificates the aggregate
fair value of which would represent
90% or more of the beneficial interests in
the Trust Fund.
The
representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section 2.3
shall
survive delivery of the respective Mortgage
Files to the Trustee or the
Custodian for the benefit of the
Certificateholders.
SECTION 2.4 Representations and Warranties of the Depositor as
to
the
Mortgage Loans.
The
Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee with
respect
to each Mortgage Loan as of the date hereof
or such other date set forth herein
that as of the Closing Date, and following
the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to
it pursuant to the MLPA and immediately
prior to the conveyance of the Mortgage
Loans by it to the Trustee pursuant to
Section 2.1(a) hereof, the Depositor had
good title to the Mortgage Loans and the
Mortgage Notes were subject to no
offsets, defenses or counterclaims.
It is
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties
set
forth in this Section 2.4 shall survive
delivery of the Mortgage Files to the
Trustee. Upon discovery by the Depositor or
the Trustee of a breach of any of
the foregoing representations and
warranties set forth in this Section 2.4
(referred to herein as a "breach"), which
breach materially and adversely
affects the interest of the
Certificateholders, the party discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice to
the others and to each Rating Agency.
SECTION 2.5 Delivery of Opinion of Counsel in Connection with
Substitutions.
(a)
Notwithstanding
any contrary provision of this Agreement, no
substitution pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 2.3 shall be
made
more than 90 days after the Closing Date unless the Depositor
delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of
Counsel shall not be at the expense of either the Trustee or
the
Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect that such
49
<PAGE>
substitution will not (i) result in the imposition of the tax
on
"prohibited transactions" on the Trust Fund or contributions
after
the Startup Date, as defined in Sections 860F(a)(2) and 860G(d)
of
the Code, respectively, or (ii) cause any REMIC created hereunder
to
fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates
are
outstanding.
(b)
Upon discovery
by the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee
that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a "qualified
mortgage"
within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party
discovering such fact shall promptly (and in any event within
five
(5) Business Days of discovery) give written notice thereof to
the
other parties. In connection therewith, the Trustee shall
require
the Depositor to cause the Seller, pursuant to the MLPA and at
the
Seller's option, to either (i) substitute, if the conditions in
Section 2.3(b) with respect to substitutions are satisfied, a
Substitute Mortgage Loan for the affected Mortgage Loan, or
(ii)
repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of such
discovery in the same manner as it would a Mortgage Loan for a
breach of representation or warranty made pursuant to Section
2.3.
The Trustee shall reconvey or shall cause the Custodian to
reconvey
to the Seller the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto
in

a
Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or
warranty
contained in Section 2.3.

Trust
Fund and, concurrently with such transfer
and assignment, has executed and
delivered to or upon the order of the
Depositor, the Certificates in authorized

Trust Fund. The Trustee agrees to hold the
Trust Fund and exercise the rights
referred to above for the benefit of all

of its ability, to the end that the
interests of the Holders of the Certificates
may be adequately and effectively
protected.

to M-B-1, M-B-2, M-B-3, M-B-4, M-B-5
and M-B-6, such Lower REMIC Interests shall
only correspond to the portion
supported by Pool I). The Lower REMIC
Interest L-I-PO corresponds to the Middle
REMIC Interest M-I-PO. The Lower REMIC
Interest L-II-A-1, Lower REMIC L-II-A-2
and Lower REMIC Interest L-II-ZZZ shall be
Corresponding Classes to these
classes of Middle REMIC Interests:
M-II-A-1, M-B-1, M-B-2, M-B-3, M-B-4, M-B-5
and M-B-6 (provided that with respect to
M-B-1, M-B-2, M-B-3, M-B-4, M-B-5 and
M-B-6, such Lower REMIC Interests shall
only correspond to the portion supported
by Pool II). The Lower REMIC Interest
L-II-PO corresponds to the Middle REMIC
Interest M-I-PO.
"L1
Interests" refers to the L-I-A-1 Lower REMIC Interest and the
L-II-A-1
Lower REMIC Interests. "L2 Interests"
refers to the L-I-A-2 Lower REMIC Interest
and the L-II-A-2 Lower REMIC Interest.
"LZZZ Interests" refers to L-I-ZZZ Lower
REMIC Interest and L-II-ZZZ Lower REMIC
Interest. "LPO Interests" refer to the
51
<PAGE>
L-I-PO Lower REMIC Interest and the L-II-PO
Lower REMIC Interest. Each L1
Interest shall have a principal balance
initially equal to 0.9% of the Group
Subordinate Amount of its corresponding
Mortgage Pool. Each L2 Interest shall
have a principal balance initially equal to
0.1% of the Group Subordinate Amount
of its corresponding Mortgage Pool. The
initial principal balance of each LZZZ
Interest shall equal the excess of the Pool
Principal Balance of its
corresponding Mortgage Pool over the sum of
(i) the initial principal balances
of the L1 Interests and L2 Interests
corresponding to such Mortgage Pool, and
(ii) the portion of the LPO Interest
attributable to the Discount Mortgage Loans
in the Mortgage Pool corresponding to such
LZZZ Interest.
Unless a Cross-over Situation (as
defined below) exists, principal and
Realized Losses arising with respect to
each Mortgage Pool shall be allocated
first to cause the L1 and L2 Interests
corresponding to such Mortgage Pool to
equal 0.9% and 0.1% of the Group
Subordinate Amount of such Mortgage Pool as of
such Distribution Date (after distributions
of principal and allocation of
Realized Losses are made) and all excess
principal and Realized Losses shall be
allocated to the LZZZ Interest
corresponding to such Mortgage Pool. A L1, L2 or
LZZZ Interest that is allocated principal
on any Distribution Date shall receive
such principal, and have its principal
balance reduced by the amount of such
principal, on such Distribution Date.
Similarly, a L1, L2 or LZZZ Interest that
is allocated a Realized Loss on any
Distribution Date shall have its principal
balance reduced by the amount of such
Realized Loss on such Distribution Date.
A
"Cross-over Situation" exists if on any Distribution Date (after
taking
into account distributions of principal and
allocations of Realized Losses on
such Distribution Date) the L1 and L2
Interests corresponding to any Mortgage
Pool are in the aggregate less than 1% of
the Group Subordinate Amount of the
corresponding Mortgage Pool. If a
Cross-over Situation exists on any
Distribution Date, and the weighted average
interest rate of the outstanding L1
and L2 Interests is less than the
Pass-Through Rate for any Class of Subordinate
Certificates for the following Distribution
Date, a Principal Reallocation
Payment (as defined below) shall be made
proportionately to the outstanding L1
Interests prior to any other distributions
of principal from each such Mortgage
Pool so that the Calculation Rate equals
the Pass-Through Rate for each Class of
Subordinate Certificates. If a Cross-over
Situation exists on any Distribution
Date, and the weighted average rate of the
outstanding L1 and L2 Interests is
greater than the Pass-Through Rate for any
Class of Subordinate Certificates for
the following Distribution Date, a
Principal Reallocation Payment shall be made
proportionately to the outstanding L2
Interests prior to any other distributions
of principal from each such Mortgage Pool
so that the Calculation Rate equals
the Pass-Through Rate for each Class of
Subordinate Certificates. A "Principal
Reallocation Payment" is a distribution of
the minimum amount of principal that
causes the Calculation Rate (as defined
below) with respect to the outstanding
L1 and L2 Interests to equal the
Pass-Through Rate for each Class of Subordinate
Certificates. The "Calculation Rate" shall
equal the product of (i) 10 and (ii)
the weighted average interest rate of the
outstanding L1 and L2 Interests,
treating each L1 Interest as capped at zero
or reduced by a fixed percentage of
100% of the interest accruing on such
class. Principal Reallocation Payments
shall be made from principal received on
the Mortgage Loans from a Mortgage Pool
and shall also consist of a proportionate
allocation of Realized Losses from the
Mortgage Loans of a Mortgage Pool. For
purposes of making Principal Reallocation
Payments, to the extent that the principal
received during the applicable
collection period from the related Mortgage
Pool or Mortgage Pools and related
52
<PAGE>
Realized Losses are insufficient to make
the necessary reduction of principal,
then interest shall accrue on the LZZZ
Interest (and be added to its principal
balance) of the related Mortgage Pool or
Mortgage Pools to allow the necessary
Principal Reallocation Payment to be made.
The Calculation Rate is designed to
always equal the Pass-Through Rate of each
Class of Subordinated Certificates.
If a
Cross-over Situation exists, the aggregate principal balances of
the
outstanding L1 and L2 Interests of all of
the Mortgage Pools shall not be
reduced below one percent of the aggregate
Pool Principal Balance of all of the
Mortgage Pools for the following
Distribution Date in excess of the Senior
Certificates as of the related Distribution
Date (after taking into account
distributions of principal and allocations
of Realized Losses on such
Distribution Date). To the extent this
limitation prevents the distribution of
principal to the L1 and L2 Interests of a
Mortgage Pool and the related LZZZ
Interest has already been reduced to zero,
such excess principal from such
Mortgage Pool shall be paid proportionately
to the LZZZ Interests of the
Mortgage Pool or Mortgage Pools whose
aggregate L1 and L2 Interests are less
than one percent of the related Group
Subordinate Amount. Any such shortfall as
a result of the Mortgage Pool or Mortgage
Pools receiving the extra payment
having a Designated Mortgage Pool Rate (as
defined below) lower than the
Designated Mortgage Pool Rate of the
Mortgage Pool or Mortgage Pools from which
the payment was reallocated shall be
treated as a Realized Loss and if excess
arises as a result of the Mortgage Pool
receiving the extra payment having a
Designated Mortgage Pool Rate higher than
the Mortgage Pool from which the
payment was reallocated it shall reimburse
the Middle REMIC for prior Realized
Losses.

On each
Distribution Date Available Funds shall be distributed with
respect to the Middle REMIC Interests in a
manner such that:
(a)
interest
accrued, if any, on each Middle REMIC Interest is
distributed with respect to each such Middle REMIC Interest in
the
same manner that Accrued Certificate Interest is distributed
with

The
foregoing REMIC structure is intended to cause all of the cash
from
the Mortgage Loans to flow through to the
Upper REMIC as cash flow on a REMIC
regular interest, without creating any
shortfall-actual or potential (other than
for credit losses) to any REMIC regular
interest. To the extent that the
structure is believed to diverge from such
intention the Trustee shall resolve
ambiguities to accomplish such result and
shall to the extent necessary rectify
any drafting errors or seek clarification
to the structure without
Certificateholder approval (but with
guidance of counsel) to accomplish such
intention.
SECTION 2.8 Covenants of the Master Servicer.
The Master
Servicer hereby covenants to the Depositor and the Trustee as
follows:
(a)
the Master
Servicer shall comply in the performance of its
obligations under this Agreement with all reasonable rules and
requirements of the insurer under each Required Insurance
Policy;
and
(b)
no written
information, certificate of an officer, statement
furnished in writing or written report delivered to the
Depositor,
any affiliate of the Depositor or the Trustee and prepared by
the
Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement will contain any
untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary to make such information, certificate, statement or
report
not misleading.

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS
SECTION 3.1 Master Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans.
For and on
behalf of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall
service and administer the Mortgage Loans
in accordance with the terms of (i)
the Servicing Rights Transfer and
Subservicing Agreement, pursuant to which
First Tennessee Mortgage Services, Inc.
engaged the Master Servicer to
subservice the Mortgage Loans, (ii) this
Agreement and (iii) the customary and
usual standards of practice of prudent
mortgage loan servicers; provided that if
there is a conflict between the terms of
the Servicing Agreement and the
Servicing Rights Transfer and Subservicing
Agreement, on the one hand, and this
Agreement, on the other hand, the terms of
this Agreement shall prevail. In
connection with such servicing and
administration, the Master Servicer shall
have full power and authority, acting alone
and/or through Subservicers as
provided in Section 3.2 hereof, to do or
cause to be done any and all things
that it may deem necessary or desirable in
connection with such servicing and
administration, including but not limited
to, the power and authority, subject
to the terms hereof (i) to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee,
customary consents or waivers and other
instruments and documents, (ii) to consent
to transfers of any Mortgaged
Property and assumptions of the Mortgage
Notes and related Mortgages (but only
in the manner provided in this Agreement),
(iii) to collect any Insurance
Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds,
and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or
other conversion of the ownership of the
Mortgaged Property securing any
Mortgage Loan; provided that the Master
Servicer shall not take any action that
is inconsistent with or prejudices the
interests of the Trust Fund or the
Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan or
the rights and interests of the
Depositor, the Trustee and the
Certificateholders under this Agreement. The
Master Servicer shall represent and protect
the interests of the Trust Fund in
the same manner as it protects its own
interests in mortgage loans in its own
portfolio in any claim, proceeding or
litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan, and
shall not make or permit any modification,
waiver or amendment of any Mortgage
Loan which would cause any REMIC created
hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC
or result in the imposition of any tax
under Section 860F(a) or Section 860G(d)
of the Code. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Master
Servicer, in its own name or in the name of
the Depositor and the Trustee, is
hereby authorized and empowered by the
Depositor and the Trustee, when the
Master Servicer believes it appropriate in
its reasonable judgment, to execute
and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the
Depositor, the Certificateholders or
any of them, any and all instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of
partial or full release or discharge and
all other comparable instruments, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans, and with
respect to the Mortgaged Properties held
for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
The Master Servicer shall prepare and
deliver to the Depositor and/or the Trustee
such documents requiring execution
and delivery by either or both of them as
are necessary or appropriate to enable
the Master Servicer to service and
administer the Mortgage Loans to the extent
that the Master Servicer is not permitted
to execute and deliver such documents
pursuant to the preceding sentence. Upon
receipt of such documents, the
Depositor and/or the Trustee shall execute
such documents and deliver them to
the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer
further is authorized and empowered by
the Trustee, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own
name or in the name of the Subservicer,
when the Master Servicer or the
56
<PAGE>
Subservicer as the case may be, believes it
appropriate in its best judgment to
register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R)
System, or cause the removal from the
registration of any Mortgage Loan on the
MERS(R) System, to execute and deliver,
on behalf of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders or any of them, any and all
instruments of assignment and other
comparable instruments with respect to such
assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in
the name of MERS, solely as nominee
for the Trustee and its successors and
assigns.
In
accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the
Master
Servicer shall advance or cause to be
advanced funds as necessary for the
purpose of effecting the payment of taxes
and assessments on the Mortgaged
Properties, which advances shall be
reimbursable in the first instance from
related collections from the Mortgagors
pursuant to Section 3.6, and further as
provided in Section 3.8. The costs incurred
by the Master Servicer, if any, in
effecting the timely payments of taxes and
assessments on the Mortgaged
Properties and related insurance premiums
shall not, for the purpose of
calculating monthly distributions to the
Certificateholders, be added to the
Stated Principal Balances of the related
Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that
the terms of such Mortgage Loans so
permit.
SECTION 3.2 Subservicing; Enforcement of the Obligations of
Servicers.
(a)
The Master
Servicer may arrange for the subservicing of any Mortgage
Loan by a Subservicer pursuant to a subservicing agreement;
provided, however, that such subservicing arrangement and the
terms
of the related subservicing agreement must provide for the
servicing
of such Mortgage Loans in a manner consistent with the
servicing
arrangements contemplated hereunder. Unless the context
otherwise
requires, references in this Agreement to actions taken or to
be
taken by the Master Servicer in servicing the Mortgage Loans
include
actions taken or to be taken by a Subservicer on behalf of the
Master Servicer. Notwithstanding the provisions of any
subservicing
agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to
agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer and a
Subservicer or
reference to actions taken through a Subservicer or
otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and liable
to
the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the
servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans in
accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of
such
obligation or liability by virtue of such subservicing agreements
or
arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the
Subservicer
and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as
if
the Master Servicer alone were servicing and administering the
Mortgage Loans. All actions of each Subservicer performed
pursuant
to the related subservicing agreement shall be performed as an
agent
of the Master Servicer with the same force and effect as if
performed directly by the Master Servicer.
(b)
For purposes of
this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed
to have received any collections, recoveries or payments with
respect to the Mortgage Loans that are received by a
Subservicer
regardless of whether such payments are remitted by the
Subservicer
to the Master Servicer.
57
<PAGE>
SECTION 3.3 Rights of the Depositor and the Trustee in Respect
of
the Master
Servicer.
The
Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of
the
Master Servicer hereunder and may, but is
not obligated to, perform, or cause a
designee to perform, any defaulted
obligation of the Master Servicer hereunder
and in connection with any such defaulted
obligation to exercise the related
rights of the Master Servicer hereunder;
provided that the Master Servicer shall
not be relieved of any of its obligations
hereunder by virtue of such
performance by the Depositor or its
designee. Neither the Trustee nor the
Depositor shall have any responsibility or
liability for any action or failure
to act by the Master Servicer nor shall the
Trustee or the Depositor be
obligated to supervise the performance of
the Master Servicer hereunder or
otherwise.
SECTION 3.4 Trustee to Act as Master Servicer.
In the
event that the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer
be
the Master Servicer hereunder (including by
reason of an Event of Default), the
Trustee or its successor shall thereupon
assume all of the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer
hereunder arising thereafter (except that the
Trustee shall not be (i) liable for losses
of the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.9 hereof or any acts or omissions
of the predecessor Master Servicer
hereunder), (ii) obligated to make Advances
if it is prohibited from doing so by
applicable law, (iii) obligated to
effectuate repurchases or substitutions of
Mortgage Loans hereunder including, but not
limited to, repurchases or
substitutions of Mortgage Loans pursuant to
Section 2.2 or 2.3 hereof, (iv)
responsible for expenses of the Master
Servicer pursuant to Section 2.3 or (v)
deemed to have made any representations and
warranties of the Master Servicer
hereunder). Any such assumption shall be
subject to Section 7.2 hereof. If the
Master Servicer shall for any reason no
longer be the Master Servicer (including
by reason of any Event of Default), the
Trustee or its successor shall succeed
to any rights and obligations of the Master
Servicer under each subservicing
agreement.
The Master
Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the expense
of the Master Servicer, deliver to the
assuming party all documents and records
relating to each subservicing agreement or
substitute subservicing agreement and
the Mortgage Loans then being serviced
thereunder and an accounting of amounts
collected or held by it and otherwise use
its best efforts to effect the orderly
and efficient transfer of the substitute
subservicing agreement to the assuming
party.
SECTION 3.5 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments; Certificate
Account;
Distribution Account.
(a)
The Master
Servicer shall make reasonable efforts in accordance with
the customary and usual standards of practice of prudent
mortgage
servicers
to collect all payments called for under the terms and
provisions of the Mortgage Loans to the extent such procedures
shall
be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions
of
any related Required Insurance Policy. Consistent with the
foregoing, the Master Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive
any
late payment charge or any prepayment charge or penalty interest
in
58
<PAGE>
connection with the prepayment of a Mortgage Loan and (ii)
extend
the due dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period
not
greater than 180 days; provided, however, that the Master
Servicer
cannot extend the maturity of any such Mortgage Loan past the
date
on which the final payment is due on the latest maturing
Mortgage
Loan as of the Cut-off Date. In the event of any such
arrangement,
the Master Servicer shall make Advances on the related Mortgage
Loan
in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.1 during the
scheduled period in accordance with the amortization schedule
of
such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of
such
arrangements. The Master Servicer shall not be required to
institute
or join in litigation with respect to collection of any payment
(whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage Note or otherwise or against
any
public or
governmental authority with respect to a taking or
condemnation) if it reasonably believes that enforcing the
provision
of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which such
payment
is required is prohibited by applicable law.
(b)
The Master
Servicer shall establish and maintain the Certificate
Account. The Certificate Account shall consist of two separate
subaccounts, each of which shall relate to a particular
Mortgage
Pool. The Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be
deposited
into the appropriate subaccount of the Certificate Account no
later
than two Business Days after receipt, except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, the following payments and
collections
remitted by Subservicers or received by it in respect of the
Mortgage Loans subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in
respect
of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before
the
Cut-off Date) and the following amounts required to be
deposited
hereunder:
(i) all payments
on account of principal on the Mortgage Loans in
the related Mortgage Pool, including Principal Prepayments;
(ii) all payments on
account of interest on the Mortgage Loans in
the related Mortgage Pool, net of the related Master Servicing
Fee, any Prepayment Interest Excess and, for so long as First
Horizon is the Master Servicer, any Retained Yield;
(iii) all Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds in respect
of
the related Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Pool, other
than proceeds to be applied to the restoration or repair of
the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in
accordance with the Master Servicer's normal servicing
procedures;
(iv)
any amount required to
be deposited by the Master Servicer in
respect of the related Mortgage Pool pursuant to Section
3.5(c) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments;
(v) any amounts
required to be deposited by the Master Servicer in
respect of the related Mortgage Pool pursuant to Sections
3.9(b) or 3.9(d);
59
<PAGE>
(vi) all Substitution
Adjustment Amounts in respect of the related
Mortgage Pool;
(vii) all Advances in respect of the related Mortgage Pool made
by
the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.1; and
(viii) any other amounts required to be deposited hereunder in
respect of the related Mortgage Pool.
In addition, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is subject to
a
buydown
agreement, on each Due Date for such Mortgage Loan, in addition
to
the
monthly payment remitted by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer
shall
cause
funds to be deposited into the applicable subaccount of the
Certificate Account in an amount required to cause an amount of
interest
to be paid
with respect to such Mortgage Loan equal to the amount of
interest
that has accrued on such Mortgage Loan from the preceding Due
Date at
the related Adjusted Mortgage Rate on such date.
The foregoing requirements for remittance by the Master
Servicer
shall be
exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without
limiting
the
generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of
prepayment
penalties,
late payment charges, assumption fees or amounts attributable
to reimbursements of Advances, if
collected, need not be remitted by the
Master
Servicer. In the event that the Master Servicer shall remit any
amount not
required to be remitted, it may at any time withdraw or direct
the
institution maintaining the Certificate Account to withdraw
such
amount
from the Certificate Account, any provision herein to the
contrary
notwithstanding. Such withdrawal or direction may be accomplished
by
delivering
written notice thereof to the Trustee or such other institution
maintaining the Certificate Account which describes the amounts
deposited
in error
in the Certificate Account. The Master Servicer shall maintain
adequate
records with respect to all withdrawals made pursuant to this
Section.
All funds deposited in the Certificate Account shall be held in
trust for
the Certificateholders until withdrawn in accordance with
Section
3.8.
(c)
The Trustee
shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, the Distribution Account. The Distribution
Account shall consist of two separate subaccounts, each of
which
shall relate to a particular Mortgage Pool. The Trustee shall,
promptly upon receipt, deposit in the Distribution Account and
retain therein the following:
(i) the
aggregate amount remitted by the Master Servicer to the
Trustee in respect of a Mortgage Pool pursuant to Section
3.8(a)(ix);
(ii) any amount
deposited by the Master Servicer pursuant to this
Section 3.5(c) in connection with any losses on Permitted
Investments; and
(iii) any other amounts deposited hereunder which are required to
be
deposited in the Distribution Account.
60
<PAGE>
In the event that the Master Servicer shall remit any amount
not
required
to be remitted, it may at any time direct the Trustee to
withdraw
such
amount from the applicable subaccount of the Distribution
Account,
any
provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such direction
may
be
accomplished by delivering an Officer's Certificate to the
Trustee
which
describes the amounts deposited in error in the Distribution
Account.
All funds deposited in the Distribution Account shall be held
by
the
Trustee in trust for the related Certificateholders until disbursed
in
accordance with this
Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with Section
3.8. In no
event shall the Trustee incur liability for withdrawals from
the
Distribution Account at the direction of the Master Servicer.
(iv) The institutions
at which the Certificate Account and the
Distribution Account are maintained shall invest funds as
directed by the Master Servicer in Permitted Investments which
in both cases shall mature not later than (i) in the case of
the Certificate Account, the second Business Day next
preceding the related Distribution Account Deposit Date
(except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of
the institution that maintains such account, then such
Permitted Investment shall mature not later than the Business
Day next preceding such Distribution Account Deposit Date) and
(ii) in the case of the Distribution Account, the Business Day
next preceding the Distribution Date (except that if such
Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution that
maintains such fund or account, then such Permitted Investment
shall mature not later than such Distribution Date) and, in
each case, shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its
maturity. If the Master Servicer does not provide such prior
written investment direction, the funds in such accounts will
be held uninvested. All such Permitted Investments shall be
made in the name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. All income and gain net of any losses
realized from any such investment of funds on deposit in the
Certificate Account shall be for the benefit of the Master
Servicer as servicing compensation and all income and gain net
of any losses realized from any such investment of funds on
deposit in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit
of the Trustee. The amount of any Realized Losses in the
Certificate Account in respect of any such investments shall
promptly be deposited by the Master Servicer in the
Certificate Account and the amount of any Realized Losses in
the Distribution Account in respect of any such investments
shall promptly be deposited by the Trustee into the
Distribution Account. All reinvestment income earned on
amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account shall be for
the benefit of the Trustee. The Trustee in its fiduciary
capacity shall not be liable for the amount of any loss
incurred in respect of any investment or lack of investment of
funds held in the Certificate Account and made in accordance
with this Section 3.5.
(v) The Master
Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the
Seller, each Rating Agency and the Depositor of any proposed
change of the location of the Certificate Account prior to any
61
<PAGE>
change thereof. The Trustee shall give notice to the Master
Servicer,
the Seller, each Rating Agency and the Depositor of
any proposed change of the location of the Distribution
Account prior to any change thereof.
SECTION 3.6 Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items;
Escrow
Accounts.
(a)
To the extent
required by the related Mortgage Note and not
violative of current law, the Master Servicer shall establish
and
maintain one or more accounts (each, an "Escrow Account") and
deposit and retain therein all collections from the Mortgagors
(or
advances by the Master Servicer) for the payment of taxes,
assessments, hazard insurance premiums or comparable items for
