In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
In exchange for the Certificates, the Depositor hereby conveys
the

Trust. The Trust Estate for federal
income tax purposes will be treated as a
three separate real estate mortgage
investment conduits (the "Upper-Tier
REMIC," the "Middle-Tier REMIC" and the
"Lower-Tier REMIC," respectively, and each,
a "REMIC"). The Senior Certificates
(other than the Class CB-IO, Class CB-PO
and Class CB-R Certificates) are
referred to collectively as the "Regular
Certificates" and shall constitute
"regular interests" in the Upper-Tier
REMIC. The Class 1-CB-PO Component, Class
2-CB-PO Component and Class 3-CB-PO
Component (the "Class CB-PO Components" or
"PO Components"), the Class 1-CB-IO
Component, Class 2-CB-IO Component and Class
3-CB-IO Component (the "Class CB-IO
Components" or "IO Components" and,
collectively with the PO Components, the
"Components") shall also constitute
"regular interests" in the Upper-Tier
REMIC. The Uncertificated Middle-Tier
Interests shall constitute the "regular
interests" in the Middle-Tier REMIC. The
Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests shall
constitute the "regular interests" in
the Lower-Tier REMIC. The Class R-U
Interest shall be the sole "residual
interest" in the Upper-Tier REMIC. The
Class R-M Interest shall be the sole
"residual interest" in the Middle-Tier
REMIC. The Class R-L Interest shall be
the sole "residual interest" in the
Lower-Tier REMIC. The Class CB-R Certificate
shall represent ownership of the Class R-U
Interest, the Class R-M Interest and
the Class R-L Interest. The Certificates,
the Uncertificated Middle-Tier
Interests and the Uncertificated Lower-Tier
Interests will represent the entire
beneficial ownership interest in the Trust.
The "latest possible maturity date"
for federal income tax purposes of all
interests created hereby will be the
REMIC Certificate Maturity Date.

respect to the Mortgage Loans (other

addition, the Depositor, concurrently with
the execution and delivery hereof, hereby

the Certificateholders, without recourse,
the Depositor's rights to receive any
BPP Mortgage Loan Payment. It is agreed and
understood by the parties hereto
that it is not intended that any mortgage
loan be included in the Trust that is

the party
so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that
Mortgage
Note);
(ii) except as provided below, the original recorded Mortgage
with

below,
originals of all interim recorded assignments of such mortgage or
a
copy of
such interim assignment certified by the Depositor as being a

of

(each such assignment, when duly and validly completed, to be
in
recordable
form and sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to
the
assignee thereof, under the Mortgage to which the assignment
relates);
provided
that, if the related Mortgage has not been returned from the
applicable
public recording office, such Assignment of Mortgage may
exclude
the information to be provided by the recording office; and
provided,
further, if the related Mortgage has been recorded in the name
of
Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. ("MERS") or its
designee,
no Assignment of Mortgage in favor of the Trustee will be
required to be
prepared or delivered and instead, the Servicer shall take
all
actions as are necessary to cause the Trust to be shown as the
owner
of the
related Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS for purposes of
the
system of
recording transfers of beneficial ownership of mortgages
maintained
by MERS;
(iv) the originals of all assumption, modification, consolidation
or

respective
prior owner of such Mortgage Loan or by the applicable title

company, closing/settlement/escrow agent or company or closing
attorney
to be a true and correct copy of the lease transmitted for
recordation;
(viii) the original of any security agreement, chattel mortgage
or
equivalent

(G) Executed UCC-3 financing statements or other appropriate
UCC financing statements required by state law, evidencing a
complete and unbroken line from the mortgagee to the Trustee
with
evidence of recording thereon (or in a form suitable for
recordation).
provided, however, that on the Closing
Date, with respect to item (iii), the
Depositor has delivered to the Trustee a
copy of such Assignment of Mortgage in
blank and has caused the Servicer to retain
the completed Assignment of Mortgage
for recording as described below, unless
such Mortgage has been recorded in the
name of MERS or its designee. In addition,
if the Depositor is unable to deliver
or cause the delivery of any original
Mortgage Note due to the loss of such
original Mortgage Note, the Depositor may
deliver a copy of such Mortgage Note,
together with a lost note affidavit, and
shall thereby be deemed to have
satisfied the document delivery
requirements of this Section 2.01(b).
If in
connection with any Mortgage Loans, the Depositor cannot
deliver (A) the Mortgage, (B) all interim
recorded assignments, (C) all
assumption, modification, consolidation or
extension agreements, if any, or (D)
the lender's title policy, if any,
(together with all riders thereto) satisfying
the requirements of clause (ii), (iii),
(iv) or (v) above, respectively,
concurrently with the execution and
delivery hereof because such document or
documents have not been returned from the
applicable public recording office in
the case of clause (ii), (iii) or (iv)
above, or because the title policy, if
any, has not been delivered to either the
Servicer or the Depositor by the
applicable title insurer in the case of
clause (v) above, the Depositor shall
promptly deliver or cause to be delivered
to the Trustee or the Custodian on
behalf of the Trustee, in the case of
clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, such
Mortgage, such interim assignment or such
assumption, modification,
consolidation or extension agreement, as
the case may be, with evidence of
recording indicated thereon upon receipt
thereof from the public recording
office, but in no event shall any such
delivery of any such documents or
instruments be made later than one year
following the Closing Date, unless, in
the case of clause (ii), (iii) or (iv)
above, there has been a continuing delay
at the applicable recording office or, in
the case of clause (v), there has been
a continuing delay at the applicable
insurer and the Depositor has delivered the
Officer's Certificate to such effect to the
Trustee. The Depositor shall forward
or cause to be forwarded to the Trustee (1)
from time to time additional
original documents evidencing an assumption
or modification of a Mortgage Loan
and (2) any other documents required to be
delivered by the Depositor or the
Servicer to the Trustee or the Custodian on
the Trustee's behalf. In the event
that the original Mortgage is not delivered
and in connection with the payment
in full of the related Mortgage Loan the
public recording office requires the
presentation of a "lost instruments
affidavit and indemnity" or any equivalent
document, because only a copy of the
Mortgage can be delivered with the
instrument of satisfaction or reconveyance,
the Servicer shall prepare, execute
and deliver or cause to be prepared,
executed and delivered, on behalf of the
Trust, such a document to the public
recording office.
As promptly as practicable subsequent to such transfer and
assignment, and in any event, within 30
days thereafter, the Servicer shall
(except for any Mortgage which has been
recorded in the name of MERS or its
designee) (I) cause each Assignment of
Mortgage to be in proper form for
recording in the appropriate public office
for real property records within 30
days of the Closing Date and (II) at the
Depositor's expense, cause to be
delivered for recording in the appropriate
public office for real property
records the Assignments of the Mortgages to
the Trustee, except that, with
respect to any Assignment of a Mortgage as
to which the Servicer has not
received the information required to
prepare such assignment in recordable form,
the Servicer's obligation to do so and to
deliver the same for such recording
shall be as soon as practicable after
receipt of such information and in any
event within 30 days after the receipt
thereof and, no recording of an
Assignment of Mortgage will be required in
a state if either (i) the Depositor
furnishes to the Trustee an unqualified
Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable
to the Trustee to the effect that
recordation of such assignment is not
necessary under applicable state law to
preserve the Trustee's interest in the
related Mortgage Loan against the claim of
any subsequent transferee of such
Mortgage Loan or any successor to, or
creditor of, the Depositor or the
originator of such Mortgage Loan or (ii)
the recordation of an Assignment of
Mortgage in such state is not required by
either Rating Agency in order to
obtain the initial ratings on the
Certificates on the Closing Date. Set forth on
Exhibit L attached hereto is a list of all
states where recordation is required
by either Rating Agency to obtain the
initial ratings of the Certificates. The
Trustee may rely and shall be protected in
relying upon the information
contained in such Exhibit L.
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 the
Trustee's behalf, will cause the Servicer
to deposit in the Servicer Custodial
Account the portion of such payment that is
required to be deposited in the Servicer
Custodial Account pursuant to Section
3.08.
Section 2.02 Acceptance by the Trustee of the Mortgage Loans.
Subject to the provisions of the following
paragraph, the Trustee declares that
it, or the Custodian as its agent, will
hold the documents referred to in
Section 2.01 and the other documents
delivered to it constituting the Mortgage
Files, and that it will hold such other
assets as are included in the Trust
Estate, in trust for the exclusive use and
benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders. Upon execution and
delivery of this document, the Trustee
shall deliver or cause the Custodian to
deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee
and the Servicer a certification in the
form of Exhibit M hereto (the "Initial
Certification") to the effect that, except
as may be specified in a list of
exceptions attached thereto, it has
received the original Mortgage Note relating
to each of the Mortgage Loans listed on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule.
Within 90 days after the execution and delivery of this
Agreement,
the Trustee shall review, or cause the
Custodian to review, the Mortgage Files
in its possession, and shall deliver to the
Depositor, the Trustee and the
Servicer a certification in the form of
Exhibit N hereto (the ("Final
Certification") to the effect that, as to
each Mortgage Loan listed in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule, except as may be
specified in a list of exceptions
attached to such Final Certification, such
Mortgage File contains all of the
items required to be delivered pursuant to
Section 2.01(b).
If, in the course of such review, the Trustee or the Custodian
finds
any document constituting a part of a
Mortgage File which does not meet the
requirements of Section 2.01 or is omitted
from such Mortgage File, the Trustee
shall promptly so notify the Servicer and
the Depositor, or shall cause the
Custodian to promptly so notify the
Servicer and the Depositor. In performing
any such review, the Trustee or the
Custodian may conclusively rely on the
purported genuineness of any such document
and any signature thereon. It is
understood that the scope of the Trustee's
or the Custodian's review of the
Mortgage Files is limited solely to
confirming that the documents listed in
Section 2.01 have been received and further
confirming that any and all
documents delivered pursuant to Section
2.01 appear on their face to have been
executed and relate to the Mortgage Loans
identified in the Mortgage Loan
Schedule based solely upon the review of
items (i) and (xi) in the definition of
Mortgage Loan Schedule. Neither the Trustee
nor the Custodian shall have any
responsibility for determining whether any
document is valid and binding,
whether the text of any assignment or
endorsement is in proper or recordable
form, whether any document has been
recorded in accordance with the requirements
of any applicable jurisdiction, or whether
a blanket assignment is permitted in
any applicable jurisdiction. The Depositor
hereby covenants and agrees that it
will promptly correct or cure such defect
within 90 days from the date it was so
notified of such defect and, if the
Depositor does not correct or cure such
defect within such period, the Depositor
will either (a) substitute for the
related Mortgage Loan a Substitute Mortgage
Loan, which substitution shall be
accomplished in the manner and subject to
the conditions set forth below or (b)
purchase such Mortgage Loan from the
Trustee at the Repurchase Price for such
Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in
no event shall such a substitution
occur more than two years from the Closing
Date; provided, further, that such
substitution or repurchase shall occur
within 90 days of when such defect was
discovered if such defect will cause the
Mortgage Loan not to be a "qualified
mortgage" within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code.
With respect to each Substitute Mortgage Loan the Depositor
shall
deliver to the Trustee, for the benefit of
the Certificateholders, the Mortgage
Note, the Mortgage, the related Assignment
of Mortgage (except for any Mortgage
which has been recorded in the name of MERS
or its designee), and such other
documents and agreements as are otherwise
required by Section 2.01, with the
Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage
assigned as required by Section 2.01. No
substitution is permitted to be made in any
calendar month after the
Determination Date for such month. Monthly
Payments due with respect to any such
Substitute Mortgage Loan in the month of
substitution shall not be part of the
Trust Estate and will be retained by the
Depositor. For the month of
substitution, distributions to
Certificateholders will include the Monthly
Payment due for such month on any Defective
Mortgage Loan for which the
Depositor has substituted a Substitute
Mortgage Loan.
The Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the
benefit
of the Certificateholders to reflect the
removal of each Mortgage Loan that has
become a Defective Mortgage Loan and the
substitution of the Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans and the Servicer shall
deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule
to the Trustee and the Custodian. Upon such
substitution, each Substitute
Mortgage Loan shall be subject to the terms
of this Agreement in all respects,
and the Depositor shall be deemed to have
made to the Trustee with respect to
such Substitute Mortgage Loan, as of the
date of substitution, the
representations and warranties made
pursuant to Section 2.04. Upon any such
substitution and the deposit to the
Servicer Custodial Account of any required
Substitution Adjustment Amount (as
described in the next paragraph) and receipt
of a Request for Release, the Trustee shall
release, or shall direct the
Custodian to release, the Mortgage File
relating to such Defective Mortgage Loan
to the Depositor and shall execute and
deliver at the Depositor's direction such
instruments of transfer or assignment
prepared by the Depositor, in each case
without recourse, as shall be necessary to
vest title in the Depositor, or its
designee, to the Trustee's interest in any
Defective Mortgage Loan substituted
for pursuant to this Section 2.02.
For any month in which the Depositor substitutes one or more
Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more
Defective Mortgage Loans, the amount
(if any) by which the aggregate principal
balance of all such Substitute
Mortgage Loans in a Loan Group as of the
date of substitution is less than the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all
such Defective Mortgage Loans in such
Loan Group (after application of the
principal portion of the Monthly Payments
due in the month of substitution) (the
"Substitution Adjustment Amount" for such
Loan Group) plus an amount equal to the
aggregate of any unreimbursed Advances
with respect to such Defective Mortgage
Loans shall be deposited into the
Servicer Custodial Account by the Depositor
on or before the Remittance Date for
the Distribution Date in the month
succeeding the calendar month during which
the related Mortgage Loan is required to be
purchased or replaced hereunder.
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 Servicer shall promptly deliver
to the Trustee, upon the execution or, in
the case of documents requiring
recording, receipt thereof, the originals
of such other documents or instruments
constituting the Mortgage File as come into
the Servicer's possession from time
to time.
It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Depositor
to
substitute for or to purchase any Mortgage
Loan which does not meet the
requirements of Section 2.01 shall
constitute the sole remedy respecting such
defect available to the Trustee and any
Certificateholder against the Depositor.
The Trustee or the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall
be
under no duty or obligation (i) to inspect,
review or examine any such
documents, instruments, certificates or
other papers to determine that they are
genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for
the represented purpose or that they
are other than what they purport to be on
their face or (ii) to determine
whether any Mortgage File should include
any of the documents specified in
Section 2.01(b)(iv), (vi), (vii), (viii)
and (ix). In connection with making the
certifications required hereunder, to the
extent a title search or opinion of
counsel has been provided in lieu of a
title policy for any Mortgage Loan, the
Trustee shall only be responsible for
confirming that a title search or opinion
of counsel has been provided for such
Mortgage Loan and shall not be deemed to
have certified that the content of the
title search or opinion of counsel is
sufficient to meet the requirements of
Section 2.01(b)(v).

Servicer. The Servicer hereby makes the

approval, authorization or order has been or will, prior to the
Closing
Date, be obtained.
(iii) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement
are in the ordinary course of business of the Servicer and will
not result
in the breach of any term or provision of the charter or
by-laws of
the Servicer or result in the breach of any term or provision
of, or
conflict with or constitute a default under or result in the
acceleration of any obligation under, any agreement, indenture or
loan or
credit
agreement or other instrument to which the Servicer or its
property
is
subject, or result in the violation of any law, rule,
regulation,
order,
judgment or decree to which the Servicer or its property is
subject.
(iv) There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation
pending
or, to the
best knowledge of the Servicer, threatened against the Servicer
which,
either individually or in the aggregate, would result in any
material
adverse change in the business, operations, financial
condition,
properties
or assets of the Servicer, or in any material impairment of the
right or
ability of the Servicer to carry on its business substantially
as
now
conducted or which would draw into question the validity of
this
Agreement
or the Mortgage Loans or of any action taken or to be taken in
connection
with the obligations of the Servicer contemplated herein, or
which
would materially impair the ability of the Servicer to perform
under
the terms
of this Agreement.
(v) The Servicer has fully furnished, and shall continue to
fully
furnish
for so long as it is servicing the Mortgage Loans hereunder, in
accordance
with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing
regulations, accurate and complete information on the related
Mortgagor
credit
files to Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information
Company on
a monthly basis.
The representations and warranties made pursuant to this
Section
2.03 shall survive delivery of the
respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee for
the benefit of the Certificateholders.
Section 2.04 Representations and Warranties of the Depositor as
to
the Mortgage Loans. The Depositor hereby
represents and warrants to the Trustee
with respect to the Mortgage Loans or each
Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, as
of the date hereof or such other date set
forth herein that as of the Closing
Date:
(i) The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule is
true
and
correct in all material respects.
(ii) There are no delinquent taxes, ground rents, governmental
assessments, insurance premiums, leasehold payments, including
assessments
payable in
future installments or other outstanding charges affecting the
lien
priority of the related Mortgaged Property.
(iii) The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not
been
impaired,
waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written
instruments, recorded in the applicable public recording office
if
necessary
to maintain the lien priority of the Mortgage, and which have
been
delivered to the Trustee; the substance of any such waiver,
alteration
or modification has been approved by the insurer under the
Primary
Insurance Policy, if any, the title insurer, to the extent
required
by the related policy, and is reflected on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule.
No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been
executed,
and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except
in
connection with an assumption agreement approved by the insurer
under
the
Primary Insurance Policy, if any, the title insurer, to the
extent
required
by the policy, and which assumption agreement has been
delivered
to the
Trustee.
(iv) The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any
right
of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense
of
usury, nor
will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and
the
Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either
the
Mortgage
Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or
subject to
any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense,
including
the defense of usury and no such right of rescission, set-off,
counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto.
(v) All buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an
insurer
generally acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions
against
loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other
hazards
as are
customary in the area the Mortgaged Property is located,
pursuant
to
insurance policies conforming to the requirements of Customary
Servicing
Procedures and this Agreement. All such insurance policies
contain a
standard mortgagee clause naming the originator of the Mortgage
Loan, its
successors and assigns as mortgagee and all premiums thereon
have been
paid. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified on a
flood
hazard map or flood insurance rate map issued by the Federal
Emergency
Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such
flood
insurance has been made available), a flood insurance policy
meeting
the
requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance
Administration is in effect which policy conforms to the
requirements of
FNMA or
FHLMC. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to
maintain
all such
insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the
Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage
to
maintain
such insurance at Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek
reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor.
(vi) Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local
law
including,
without limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate
settlement
procedures, consumer credit protections, all applicable
predatory
and abusive lending laws, equal credit opportunity or
disclosure
laws
applicable to the origination and servicing of Mortgage Loan
have
been
complied with.
(vii) The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated
or
rescinded,
in whole or in part (other than as to Principal Prepayments in
full which
may have been received prior to the Closing Date), and the
Mortgaged
Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage,
in
whole or
in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect
any such
satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission or
release.
(viii) The Mortgage is a valid, existing and enforceable first
lien
on the
Mortgaged Property, including all improvements on the Mortgaged
Property
subject only to (A) the lien of current real property taxes and
assessments not yet due and
payable, (B) covenants, conditions and
restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the
public
record as
of the date of recording being acceptable to mortgage lending
institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender's
title
insurance
policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and
which do
not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged
Property,
(C) if the Mortgaged Property consists of Co-op Shares, any
lien
for
amounts due to the cooperative housing corporation for unpaid
assessments or charges or any lien of any assignment of rents
or
maintenance expenses secured by the real property owned by the
cooperative
housing
corporation, and (D) other matters to which like properties are
commonly
subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of
the
security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use,
enjoyment,
value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any
security
agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to
and
delivered
in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a
valid,
existing and enforceable first lien and first priority security
interest
on the property described therein and the Depositor has the
full
right to
sell and assign the same to the Trustee.
(ix) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and
each
is the
legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof,
enforceable in accordance with its terms except as enforceability
may be
limited by
(A) bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, receivership,
moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the
enforcement
of the
rights of creditors and (B) general principles of equity,
whether
enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law.
(x) All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal
capacity
to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the
Mortgage
Note and the Mortgage, and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage
have been
duly and properly executed by such parties.
(xi) The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed
to
or for the
account of the Mortgagor and there is no obligation for the
Mortgagee
to advance additional funds thereunder and any and all
requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site
improvements and
as to
disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied
with.
All costs,
fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage
Loan and
the recording of the Mortgage have been paid, and the Mortgagor
is not
entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due to the
Mortgagee
pursuant
to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage.
(xii) To the best of the Depositor's knowledge, all parties
which
have had
any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee,
assignee,
pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they
held and
disposed of such interest, were) in compliance with any and all
applicable
"doing business" and licensing requirements of the laws of the
state
wherein the Mortgaged Property is located.
(xiii) (A) the Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's
title
insurance
policy, acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC, issued by a title insurer
acceptable
to FNMA or FHLMC and qualified to do business in the
jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring
(subject to
the
exceptions contained in (viii)(A) and (B) above) the Seller,
its
successors
and assigns as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in
the original
principal amount of the Mortgage Loan, (B) a title search has
been done
showing no lien (other than the exceptions contained in
(viii)(A)
and (B) above) on the related Mortgaged Property senior to the
lien of
the Mortgage or (C) in the case of any Mortgage Loan secured by
a
Mortgaged
Property located in a jurisdiction where such policies are
generally
not available, an opinion of counsel of the type customarily
rendered
in such jurisdiction in lieu of title insurance is instead
received.
For each Mortgage Loan covered by a title insurance policy (x)
the
Depositor is the sole insured of such lender's title insurance
policy,
and such
lender's title insurance policy is in full force and effect and
will be in
full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and (y) no claims have been made
under such
lender's
title insurance policy, and the Depositor has not done, by act
or
omission,
anything which would impair the coverage of such lender's title
insurance
policy.
(xiv) There is no default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and
no event
which,
with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of
any
grace or
cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or
event of
acceleration, and the Seller has not waived any default,
breach,
violation
or event of acceleration.
(xv) As of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, there
had
been no
mechanics' or similar liens or claims filed for work, labor or
material
(and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise
to
such lien) affecting the
relating Mortgaged Property which are or may be
liens
prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related
Mortgage.
(xvi) All improvements which were considered in determining the
Appraised
Value of the related Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the
boundaries
and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and
no
improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the
Mortgaged
Property.
(xvii) The Mortgage Loan was originated by a savings and loan
association, savings bank, commercial bank, credit union,
insurance
company,
or similar institution which is supervised and examined by a
federal or
state authority, or by a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of
Housing
and Urban Development pursuant to sections 203 and 211 of the
National
Housing Act.
(xviii) Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no
more
than sixty
days after the proceeds of the Mortgaged Loan were disbursed.
The
Mortgage Loans are 20 to 30-year fixed rate mortgage loans having
an
original
term to maturity of not more than 30 years, with interest
payable
in arrears
on the first day of the month. Each Mortgage Note requires a
monthly
payment which is sufficient to fully amortize the original
principal
balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest at
the
related Mortgage Interest Rate. The Mortgage Note does not
permit
negative
amortization.
(xix) There is no proceeding pending or, to the Depositor's
knowledge,
threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the
Mortgaged
Property. The Mortgaged Property is in good repair and is
undamaged
by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood,
tornado or
other casualty, so as to affect adversely the value of the
Mortgaged
Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or the use for which
the
premises were intended.
(xx) The Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary
and
enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of
the
holder
thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged
Property
of the
benefits of the security provided thereby, including (A) in the
case of a
Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and
(B)
otherwise by judicial foreclosure. To the best of the
Depositor's
knowledge,
following the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, the
Mortgaged
Property has not been subject to any bankruptcy proceeding or
foreclosure proceeding and the Mortgagor has not filed for
protection
under
applicable bankruptcy laws. There is no homestead or other
exemption
or right
available to the Mortgagor or any other person which would
interfere
with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's
sale or
the right to foreclose the Mortgage.
(xxi) Other than any Borrowers Protection Plan addendum to the
Mortgage
Note of a BPP Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Note and Mortgage are
on forms
acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC.
(xxii) The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any
collateral
except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage on the Mortgaged
Property
and the security interest of any applicable security agreement
or
chattel
mortgage referred to in (viii) above.
(xxiii) Each appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property, is in
a
form
acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC and such appraisal complies with
the
requirements of FIRREA, and was made and signed, prior to the
approval of
the
Mortgage Loan application, by a Qualified Appraiser.
(xxiv) In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a
trustee,
duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been
properly
designated and currently so serves, and no fees or expenses are
or will
become payable by the Trustee to the trustee under the deed of
trust,
except in connection with a trustee's sale after default by the
Mortgagor.
(xxv) No Mortgage Loan is a graduated payment mortgage loan, no
Mortgage
Loan has a shared appreciation or other contingent interest
feature,
and no Mortgage Loan contains any "buydown" provision.
(xxvi) The Mortgagor has received all disclosure materials
required
by
applicable law with respect to the making of mortgage loans of the
same
type as
the Mortgage Loan and rescission materials required by
applicable
law if the
Mortgage Loan is a Refinance Mortgage Loan.
(xxvii) Each Primary Insurance Policy to which any Mortgage Loan
is
subject
will be issued by an insurer acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC, which
insures
that portion of the Mortgage Loan in excess of the portion of
the
Appraised
Value of the Mortgaged Property required by FNMA. All
provisions
of such
Primary Insurance Policy have been and are being complied with,
such
policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due
thereunder
have been
paid. Any Mortgage subject to any such Primary Insurance Policy
obligates
the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain such insurance and to pay
all
premiums and charges in connection therewith at least until
Loan-to-Value Ratio of such Mortgage Loan is reduced to less than
80%. The
Mortgage
Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan does not include any such
insurance
premium.
(xxviii) To the best of the Depositor's knowledge as of the date
of
origination of the Mortgage Loan, (A) the Mortgaged Property is
lawfully
occupied
under applicable law, (B) all inspections, licenses and
certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all
occupied
portions
of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and
occupancy
of the same, including but not limited to certificates of
occupancy,
have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities and
(C) no
improvement located on or part of the Mortgaged Property is in
violation
of any zoning law or regulation.
(xxix) The Assignment of Mortgage (except with respect to any
Mortgage
that has been recorded in the name of MERS or its designee) is
in
recordable
form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the
jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located.
(xxx) All payments required to be made prior to the Cut-off Date
for
such
Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made
and
no
Mortgage Loan has been more than 30 days delinquent more than once
in
the twelve
month period immediately prior to the Cut-off Date.
(xxxi) With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Depositor or Servicer
is in
possession of a complete Mortgage File except for the documents
which have
been delivered to the Trustee or which have been submitted for
recording
and not yet returned.
(xxxii) Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment
contemplated herein, the Depositor was the sole owner and holder of
the
Mortgage
Loans. The Mortgage Loans were not assigned or pledged by the
Depositor
and the Depositor had good and marketable title thereto, and
the
Depositor
had full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loans to the
Trustee
free and clear of any encumbrance, participation interest,
lien,
equity,
pledge, claim or security interest and had full right and
authority
subject to no interest or participation in, or agreement with
any other
party to sell or otherwise transfer the Mortgage Loans.
(xxxiii) Any future advances made prior to the Cut-off Date
have
been
consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by
the
Mortgage,
and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a
single
interest rate and single repayment term. The lien of the
Mortgage
securing
the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as
having
first lien
priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the
policy
insuring the mortgagee's consolidated interest or by other
title
evidence
acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC. The consolidated principal amount
does not
exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan.
(xxxiv) The Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with
the
applicable
Underwriting Guidelines in effect at the time of origination
with
exceptions thereto exercised in a reasonable manner.
(xxxv) If the Mortgage Loan is secured by a long-term
residential
lease, (1)
the lessor under the lease holds a fee simple interest in the
land; (2)
the terms of such lease expressly permit the mortgaging of the
leasehold
estate, the assignment of the lease without the lessor's
consent
and the
acquisition by the holder of the Mortgage of the rights of the
lessee
upon foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or
provide
the holder
of the Mortgage with substantially similar protections; (3) the
terms of
such lease do not (a) allow the termination thereof upon the
lessee's
default without the holder of the Mortgage being entitled to
receive
written notice of, and opportunity to cure, such default, (b)
allow the
termination of the lease in the event of damage or destruction
as long as
the Mortgage is in existence, (c) prohibit the holder of the
Mortgage
from being insured (or receiving proceeds of insurance) under
the
hazard
insurance policy or policies relating to the Mortgaged Property
or
(d) permit
any increase in the rent other than pre-established increases
set forth
in the lease; (4) the original term of such lease in not less
than 15
years; (5) the term of such lease does not terminate earlier
than
five years
after the maturity date of the Mortgage Note; and (6) the
Mortgaged
Property is located in a jurisdiction in which the use of
leasehold
estates in transferring ownership in residential properties is
a
widely
accepted practice.
(xxxvi) No more than 0.29%, 0.73% and 0.00% (by Cut-off Date
Principal
Balance) of the Group 1, Group 2 and Group 3 Mortgage Loans,
respectively, are secured by long-term residential leases.
(xxxvii) The Mortgaged Property is located in the state
identified
in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of a parcel of real
property
with a
detached single family residence erected thereon, or a two- to
four-family dwelling, or an individual condominium unit, or an
individual
unit in a
planned unit development, or, in the case of Mortgage Loans
secured by
Co-op Shares, leases or occupancy agreements; provided,
however,
that any condominium project or planned unit development
generally
conforms with the applicable Underwriting Guidelines regarding
such
dwellings, and no residence or dwelling is a mobile home or a
manufactured dwelling.
(xxxviii) The Depositor used no adverse selection procedures in
selecting
the Mortgage Loan for inclusion in the Trust Estate.
(xxxix) Each Mortgage Loan is a "qualified mortgage" within the
meaning of
Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code.
(xl) With respect to each Mortgage where a lost note affidavit
has
been
delivered to the Trustee in place of the related Mortgage Note,
the
related
Mortgage Note is no longer in existence.
(xli) No Mortgage Loan is a "high cost" loan as defined under
any
federal,
state or local law applicable to such Mortgage Loan at the time
of its
origination.
(xlii) No Mortgage Loan is subject to the provisions of the
Home
Ownership
and Equity Protection Act of 1994, as amended.
(xliii) No Mortgage Loan is a "high cost home," "covered"
(excluding
home loans
defined as "covered home loans" pursuant to clause (1) of the
definition of that term in the New
Jersey Home Ownership Security Act of
2002),
"high risk home" or "predatory" loan as defined under any
applicable
state, federal or local law (or a similarly classified loan
using
different terminology under a law imposing heightened
regulatory
scrutiny
or additional legal liability for residential mortgage loans
having
high interest rates, points and/or fees).
(xliv) None of the proceeds of any Mortgage Loan were used to
finance
single-premium credit life insurance policies.
(xlv) No Mortgage Loan provides for the payment of a prepayment
premium.
(xlvi) No Mortgage Loan originated on or after August 1, 2004
requires
the borrower to submit to arbitration to resolve any dispute
arising
out of or relating in any way to the mortgage loan transaction.
(xlvii) As of the date of origination, no Mortgage Loan had a
principal
balance in excess of FHLMC's dollar amount limits for
conforming
one- to
four-family mortgage loans.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no representations or warranties
are
made by the Depositor as to the
environmental condition of any Mortgaged
Property; the absence, presence or effect
of hazardous wastes or hazardous
substances on any Mortgaged Property; any
casualty resulting from the presence
or effect of hazardous wastes or hazardous
substances on, near or emanating from
any Mortgaged Property; the impact on
Certificateholders of any environmental
condition or presence of any hazardous
substance on or near any Mortgaged
Property; or the compliance of any
Mortgaged Property with any environmental
laws, nor is any agent, Person or entity
otherwise affiliated with the Depositor
authorized or able to make any such
representation, warranty or assumption of
liability relative to any Mortgaged
Property. In addition, no representations or
warranties are made by the Depositor with
respect to the absence or effect of
fraud in the origination of any Mortgage
Loan.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and
warranties
set forth in this Section 2.04 shall
survive delivery of the respective Mortgage
Files to the Trustee or the Custodian and
shall inure to the benefit of the
Trustee, notwithstanding any restrictive or
qualified endorsement or assignment.
Upon discovery by either the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee
or
the Custodian that any of the
representations and warranties set forth in this
Section 2.04 is not accurate (referred to
herein as a "breach") and that such
breach (in the case of the representations
and warranties set forth in clauses
(i) through (xli) of this Section 2.04)
materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Certificateholders in the
related Mortgage Loan, the party
discovering such breach shall give prompt
written notice to the other parties
(any Custodian being so obligated under a
Custodial Agreement); provided that
any such breach that causes the Mortgage
Loan not to be a "qualified mortgage"
within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of
the Code shall be deemed to
materially and adversely affect the
interests of the Certificateholders. Within
90 days of its discovery or its receipt of
notice of any such breach, the
Depositor shall cure such breach in all
material respects or shall either (i)
repurchase the Mortgage Loan or any
property acquired in respect thereof from
the Trustee at a price equal to the
Repurchase Price or (ii) if within two years
of the Closing Date, substitute for such
Mortgage Loan in the manner described
in Section 2.02; provided 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 repurchase or substitution must
occur within 90 days from the date the
breach was discovered. In addition to the
foregoing, if a breach of the
representation set forth in clause (vi) of
this Section 2.04 occurs as a result
of a violation of an applicable predatory
or abusive lending law, the Depositor
shall reimburse the Trust for all costs or
damages incurred by the Trust as a
result of the violation of such law (such
amount, the "Reimbursement Amount").
The Repurchase Price of any repurchase
described in this paragraph, the
Substitution Adjustment Amount, if any, and
any Reimbursement Amount shall be
deposited in the Servicer Custodial
Account. It is understood and agreed that,
except with respect to the second preceding
sentence, the obligation of the
Depositor to repurchase or substitute for
any Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged
Property as to which such a breach has
occurred and is continuing shall
constitute the sole remedy respecting such
breach available to
Certificateholders, or to the Trustee on
behalf of Certificateholders, and such
obligation shall survive until termination
of the Trust hereunder.

ARTICLE III

and protect the interests of the Trust
in the same manner as it protects its own
interests in mortgage loans in its own
portfolio in any claim, proceeding or
litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan and
shall not make or permit any modification,
waiver or amendment of any term of
any Mortgage Loan, except as provided
pursuant to Section 3.21. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the
Servicer, in its own name or in the name of
any Subservicer or the Depositor and the
Trustee, is hereby authorized and
empowered by the Depositor and the Trustee,
when the Servicer or any
Subservicer, as the case may be, believes
it appropriate in its reasonable
judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf
of the Trustee, the Depositor, the
Certificateholders or any of them, any and
all instruments or agreements of
satisfaction, cancellation, default,
assumption, modification, discharge,
partial or full release, and all other
comparable instruments and agreements,
with respect to the Mortgage Loans it
services, and with respect to the related
Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit
of the Certificateholders. To the
extent that the Servicer is not permitted
to execute and deliver such documents
pursuant to the preceding sentence, the
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 Servicer
to service and administer the Mortgage
Loans it services. Upon receipt of such
documents, the Depositor and/or the
Trustee, upon the direction of the Servicer,
shall promptly execute such documents and
deliver them to the Servicer.
Alternatively, upon the request of the
Servicer, the Trustee shall execute and
deliver to the Servicer any additional
powers of attorney and other documents
prepared by the Servicer that are
reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable
the Servicer to carry out its servicing and
administrative duties under this
Agreement.
In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph,
the
Servicer shall advance or cause to be
advanced funds as necessary for the
purpose of effecting the payment of taxes
and assessments on the Mortgaged
Properties relating to the Mortgage Loans
it services, which Servicing Advances
shall be reimbursable in the first instance
from related collections from the
Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and
further as provided in Section 3.11.
The costs incurred by the 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.
The relationship of the Servicer (and of any successor to the
Servicer as servicer under this Agreement)
to the Trustee under this Agreement
is intended by the parties to be that of an
independent contractor and not that
of a joint venturer, partner or agent.
Section 3.02 Subservicing; Enforcement of the Obligations of
Servicer. (a) The Servicer may arrange for
the subservicing of any Mortgage Loan
it services by a Subservicer pursuant to a
Subservicing Agreement; provided,
however, that such subservicing arrangement
and the terms of the related
Subservicing Agreement must provide for the
servicing of such Mortgage Loan in a
manner consistent with the servicing
arrangements contemplated hereunder.
Notwithstanding the provisions of any
Subservicing Agreement, any of the
provisions of this Agreement relating to
agreements or arrangements between the
Servicer and a Subservicer or reference to
actions taken through a Subservicer
or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain
obligated and liable to the Depositor,
the Trustee and the Certificateholders for
the servicing and administration of
the Mortgage Loans it services in
accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement without diminution of such
obligation or liability by virtue of such
Subservicing Agreements or arrangements or
by virtue of indemnification from the
Subservicer and to the same extent and
under the same terms and conditions as if
the Servicer alone were servicing and
administering those Mortgage Loans. All
actions of each Subservicer performed
pursuant to the related Subservicing
Agreement shall be performed as agent of
the Servicer with the same force and
effect as if performed directly by the
Servicer.
(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed
to
have received any collections, recoveries
or payments with respect to the
Mortgage Loans it services that are
received by a Subservicer regardless of
whether such payments are remitted by the
Subservicer to the Servicer.
(c) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer,
for
the benefit of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders, shall use its best
reasonable efforts to enforce the
obligations of each Subservicer engaged by the
Servicer under the related Subservicing
Agreement, to the extent that the
non-performance of any such obligation
would have a material and adverse effect
on a Mortgage Loan. Such enforcement,
including, without limitation, the legal
prosecution of claims, termination of
Subservicing Agreements and the pursuit of
other appropriate remedies, shall be in
such form and carried out to such an
extent and at such time as the Servicer, in
its good faith business judgment,
would require were it the owner of the
related Mortgage Loans. The Servicer
shall pay the costs of such enforcement at
its own expense, and shall be
reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general
recovery resulting from such
enforcement to the extent, if any, that
such recovery exceeds all amounts due in
respect of the related Mortgage Loan or
(ii) from a specific recovery of costs,
expenses or attorneys fees against the
party against whom such enforcement is
directed.
(d) Any Subservicing Agreement entered into by the Servicer
shall
provide that it may be assumed or
terminated by the Trustee, if the Trustee has
assumed the duties of the Servicer, or any
successor Servicer, at the Trustee's
or successor Servicer's option, as
applicable, without cost or obligation to the
assuming or terminating party or the Trust
Estate, upon the assumption by such
party of the obligations of the Servicer
pursuant to Section 8.05.
Section 3.03 Fidelity Bond; Errors and Omissions Insurance. The
Servicer shall maintain, at its own
expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an
errors and omissions insurance policy, with
broad coverage on all officers,
employees or other persons acting in any
capacity requiring such persons to
handle funds, money, documents or papers
relating to the Mortgage Loans it
services. These policies must insure the
Servicer against losses resulting from
dishonest or fraudulent acts committed by
the Servicer's personnel, any
employees of outside firms that provide
data processing services for the
Servicer, and temporary contract employees
or student interns. Such fidelity
bond shall also protect and insure the
Servicer against losses in connection
with the release or satisfaction of a
Mortgage Loan without having obtained
payment in full of the indebtedness secured
thereby. No provision of this
Section 3.03 requiring such fidelity bond
and errors and omissions insurance
shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from
its duties and obligations as set
forth in this Agreement. The minimum
coverage under any such bond and insurance
policy shall be at least equal to the
corresponding amounts required by FNMA in
the FNMA Servicing Guide or by FHLMC in the
FHLMC Sellers' & Servicers' Guide,
as amended or restated from time to time,
or in an amount as may be permitted to
the Servicer by express waiver of FNMA or
FHLMC.
Section 3.04 Access to Certain Documentation. The Servicer
shall
provide to the OCC, the OTS, the FDIC and
to comparable regulatory authorities
supervising Holders of Certificates and the
examiners and supervisory agents of
the OCC, the OTS, the FDIC and such other
authorities, access to the
documentation required by applicable
regulations of the OCC, the OTS, the FDIC
and such other authorities with respect to
the Mortgage Loans. Such access shall
be afforded upon reasonable and prior
written request and during normal business
hours at the offices designated by the
Servicer; provided that the Servicer
shall be entitled to be reimbursed by each
such Certificateholder for actual
expenses incurred by the Servicer in
providing such reports and access. Nothing
in this Section 3.04 shall limit the
obligation of the Servicer to observe any
applicable law and the failure of the
Servicer to provide access as provided in
this Section 3.04 as a result of such
obligation shall not constitute a breach
of this Section 3.04.
Section 3.05 Maintenance of Primary Insurance Policy; Claims;
Collections of BPP Mortgage Loan Payments.
(a) With respect to each Mortgage
Loan with a Loan-to-Value Ratio in excess
of 80% or such other Loan-to-Value
Ratio as may be required by law, the
Servicer shall, without any cost to the
Trust Estate, maintain or cause the
Mortgagor to maintain in full force and
effect a Primary Insurance Policy insuring
that portion of the Mortgage Loan in
excess of a percentage in conformity with
FNMA requirements. The Servicer shall
pay or shall cause the Mortgagor to pay the
premium thereon on a timely basis,
at least until the Loan-to-Value Ratio of
such Mortgage Loan is reduced to 80%
or such other Loan-to-Value Ratio as may be
required by law. If such Primary
Insurance Policy is terminated, the
Servicer shall obtain from another insurer a
comparable replacement policy, with a total
coverage equal to the remaining
coverage of such terminated Primary
Insurance Policy. If the insurer shall cease
to be an insurer acceptable to FNMA or
FHLMC, the Servicer shall notify the
Trustee in writing, it being understood
that the Servicer shall not have any
responsibility or liability for any failure
to recover under the Primary
Insurance Policy for such reason. If the
Servicer determines that recoveries
under the Primary Insurance Policy are
jeopardized by the financial condition of
the insurer, the Servicer shall obtain from
another insurer which meets the
requirements of this Section 3.05 a
replacement insurance policy. The Servicer
shall not take any action that would result
in noncoverage under any applicable
Primary Insurance Policy of any loss that,
but for the actions of the Servicer,
would have been covered thereunder. In
connection with any assumption or
substitution agreement entered into or to
be entered into pursuant to Section
3.13, the Servicer shall promptly notify
the insurer under the related Primary
Insurance Policy, if any, of such
assumption or substitution of liability in
accordance with the terms of such Primary
Insurance Policy and shall take all
actions which may be required by such
insurer as a condition to the continuation
of coverage under such Primary Insurance
Policy. If such Primary Insurance
Policy is terminated as a result of such
assumption or substitution of
liability, the Servicer shall obtain a
replacement Primary Insurance Policy as
provided above.
In connection with its activities as servicer, the Servicer
agrees
to prepare and present, on behalf of
itself, the Trustee and the
Certificateholders, claims to the insurer
under any Primary Insurance Policy in
a timely fashion in accordance with the
terms of such Primary Insurance Policy
and, in this regard, to take such action as
shall be necessary to permit
recovery under any Primary Insurance Policy
respecting a defaulted Mortgage
Loan. Pursuant to Section 3.09(a), any
amounts collected by the Servicer under
any Primary Insurance Policy shall be
deposited in the related Escrow Account,
subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section
3.09(b).
The Servicer will comply with all provisions of applicable state
and
federal law relating to the cancellation
of, or collection of premiums with
respect to, Primary Mortgage Insurance,
including, but not limited to, the
provisions of the Homeowners Protection Act
of 1998, and all regulations
promulgated thereunder, as amended from
time to time.
(b) The Servicer shall take all actions necessary to collect,
on
behalf of the Trust, any BPP Mortgage Loan
Payments required to be made to the
Trust pursuant to the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement.
Section 3.06 Rights of the Depositor and the Trustee in Respect
of
the Servicer. The Depositor may, but is not
obligated to, enforce the
obligations of the Servicer hereunder and
may, but is not obligated to, perform,
or cause a designee to perform, any
defaulted obligation of the Servicer
hereunder and in connection with any such
defaulted obligation to exercise the
related rights of the Servicer hereunder;
provided that the 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 Servicer
nor shall the Trustee or the Depositor be
obligated to supervise the performance
of the Servicer hereunder or otherwise.
Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any
transactions or services relating to the
Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer
in its capacity as such shall be deemed to
be between the Subservicer and the
Servicer alone, and the Trustee and
Certificateholders shall not be deemed
parties thereto and shall have no claims,
rights, obligations, duties or
liabilities with respect to the Subservicer
except as set forth in Section 3.07.
The Servicer shall be solely liable for all
fees owed by it to any Subservicer,
irrespective of whether the Servicer's
compensation pursuant to this Agreement
is sufficient to pay such fees.
Section 3.07 Trustee to Act as Servicer. If the Servicer shall
for
any reason no longer be the Servicer
hereunder (including by reason of an Event
of Default), the Trustee shall within 90
days of such time, assume, if it so
elects, or shall appoint a successor
Servicer to assume, all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer hereunder
arising thereafter (except that the
Trustee shall not be (a) liable for losses
of the Servicer pursuant to Section
3.12 or any acts or omissions of the
predecessor Servicer hereunder, (b)
obligated to make Advances if it is
prohibited from doing so by applicable law
or (c) deemed to have made any
representations and warranties of the Servicer
hereunder). Any such assumption shall be
subject to Sections 7.02 and 8.05. If
the Servicer shall for any reason no longer
be the Servicer (including by reason
of any Event of Default), the Trustee or
the successor Servicer may elect to
succeed to any rights and obligations of
the Servicer under each Subservicing
Agreement or may terminate each
Subservicing Agreement. If it has elected to
assume the Subservicing Agreement, the
Trustee or the successor Servicer shall
be deemed to have assumed all of the
Servicer's interest therein and to have
replaced the Servicer as a party to any
Subservicing Agreement entered into by
the Servicer as contemplated by Section
3.02 to the same extent as if the
Subservicing Agreement had been assigned to
the assuming party except that the
Servicer shall not be relieved of any
liability or obligations under any such
Subservicing Agreement.
The Servicer that is no longer the Servicer hereunder shall,
upon
request of the Trustee, but at the expense
of such predecessor Servicer, deliver
to the assuming party all documents and
records relating to each Subservicing
Agreement or substitute servicing 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
such substitute Subservicing Agreement to
the assuming party. The Trustee shall
be entitled to be reimbursed from the
predecessor Servicer (or the Trust if the
predecessor Servicer is unable to fulfill
its obligations hereunder) for all
Servicing Transfer Costs.
Section 3.08 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments; Servicer
Custodial Account; and Certificate Account.
(a) Continuously from the date
hereof until the principal and interest on
all Mortgage Loans are paid in full,
the Servicer will proceed diligently, in
accordance with this Agreement, to
collect all payments due under each of the
Mortgage Loans it services when the
same shall become due and payable. Further,
the Servicer will in accordance with
all applicable law and Customary Servicing
Procedures ascertain and estimate
taxes, assessments, fire and hazard
insurance premiums, mortgage insurance
premiums and all other charges with respect
to the Mortgage Loans it services
that, as provided in any Mortgage, will
become due and payable to the end that
the installments payable by the Mortgagors
will be sufficient to pay such
charges as and when they become due and
payable. Consistent with the foregoing,
the Servicer may in its discretion (i)
waive any late payment charge or any
prepayment charge or penalty interest in
connection with the prepayment of a
Mortgage Loan it services and (ii) extend
the due dates for payments due on a
Mortgage Note for a period not greater than
120 days; provided, however, that
the 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 Servicer shall make
Periodic Advances on the related Mortgage
Loan in accordance with the provisions
of Section 3.20 during the scheduled period
in accordance with the amortization
schedule of such Mortgage Loan without
modification thereof by reason of such
arrangements. The 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 Servicer shall establish and maintain the Servicer
Custodial
Account. The Servicer shall deposit or
cause to be deposited into the Servicer
Custodial Account, all on a daily basis
within one Business Day of receipt,
except as otherwise specifically provided
herein, the following payments and
collections remitted by Subservicers or
received by the Servicer 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 with respect to the
Mortgage Loans it services:
(i) all payments on account of principal of the Mortgage Loans,
including
Principal Prepayments;
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans,
net
of the
Servicing Fee;
(iii) (A) all Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds,
other
than
Insurance Proceeds to be (1) applied to the restoration or repair
of
the
Mortgaged Property, (2) released to the Mortgagor in accordance
with
Customary
Servicing Procedures or (3) required to be deposited to an
Escrow
Account pursuant to Section 3.09(a), and other than any Excess
Proceeds
and (B) any Insurance Proceeds released from an Escrow Account
pursuant
to Section 3.09(b)(iv);
(iv) any amount required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant
to
Section
3.08(d) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments
with
respect to the Servicer Custodial Account;
(v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant
to
Section
3.14;
(vi) all Repurchase Prices, all Substitution Adjustment Amounts
and
all
Reimbursement Amounts, to the extent received by the Servicer;
(vii) Periodic Advances made by the Servicer pursuant to
Section
3.20 and
any Compensating Interest;
(viii) any Recoveries; and
(ix) any other amounts required to be deposited hereunder.
The foregoing requirements for deposits to the Servicer
Custodial
Account by the Servicer shall be exclusive
it being understood and agreed that,
without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Ancillary Income need not be
deposited by the Servicer. If the Servicer
shall deposit in the Servicer
Custodial Account any amount not required
to be deposited, it may at any time
withdraw or direct the institution
maintaining the Servicer Custodial Account to
withdraw such amount from the Servicer
Custodial Account, any provision herein
to the contrary notwithstanding. The
Servicer Custodial Account may contain
funds that belong to one or more trust
funds created for mortgage pass-through
certificates of other series and may
contain other funds respecting payments on
mortgage loans belonging to the Servicer or
serviced by the Servicer on behalf
of others; provided that such commingling
of funds shall not be permitted at any
time during which Fitch's senior long-term
unsecured debt rating of Bank of
America is below "A." Notwithstanding such
commingling of funds, the Servicer
shall keep records that accurately reflect
the funds on deposit in the Servicer
Custodial Account that have been identified
by it as being attributable to the
Mortgage Loans it services. The Servicer
shall maintain adequate records with
respect to all withdrawals made pursuant to
this Section 3.08. All funds
required to be deposited in the Servicer
Custodial Account shall be held in
trust for the Certificateholders until
withdrawn in accordance with Section
3.11.
(c) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, the Certificate
Account, which shall be deemed to consist of
five sub-accounts. The Trustee shall,
promptly upon receipt, deposit in the
Certificate Account and retain therein the
following:
(i) the aggregate amount remitted by the Servicer to the
Trustee
pursuant
to Section 3.11(a)(viii);
(ii) any amount paid by the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.08(d)
in
connection with
any losses on Permitted Investments with respect to the
Certificate Account; and
(iii) any other amounts deposited hereunder which are required to
be
deposited
in the Certificate Account.
If the Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be
remitted,
it may at any time direct the Trustee to
withdraw such amount from the
Certificate 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 Certificate
Account. All funds required to be deposited
in the Certificate Account shall be
held by the Trustee in trust for the
Certificateholders until disbursed in
accordance with this Agreement or withdrawn
in accordance with Section 3.11. In
no event shall the Trustee incur liability
for withdrawals from the Certificate
Account at the direction of a the
Servicer.
(d) Each institution at which the Servicer Custodial Account or
the
Certificate Account is maintained shall
invest the funds therein as directed in
writing by the Servicer, in the case of the
Servicer Custodial Account, or the
Trustee, in the case of the Certificate
Account, in Permitted Investments, which
shall mature not later than (i) in the case
of the Servicer Custodial Account,
the Business Day next preceding the related
Remittance Date (except that if such
Permitted Investment is an obligation of
the institution that maintains such
account, then such Permitted Investment
shall mature not later than such
Remittance Date) and (ii) in the case of
the Certificate Account, the Business
Day next preceding the Distribution Date
(except that if such Permitted
Investment is an obligation of the
institution that maintains such account, then
such Permitted Investment shall mature not
later than such Distribution Date)
and, in each case, shall not be sold or
disposed of prior to its maturity. All
such Permitted Investments shall be made in
the name of the Trustee, for the
benefit of the Certificateholders. All
Servicer Custodial Account Reinvestment
Income shall be for the benefit of the
Servicer as part of its Servicing
Compensation and shall be retained by it
monthly as provided herein. All income
or gain (net of any losses) realized from
any such investment of funds on
deposit in the Certificate Account shall be
for the benefit of the Trustee as
additional compensation and shall be
retained by it monthly as provided herein.
The amount of any losses realized in the
Servicer Custodial Account or the
Certificate Account incurred in any such
account in respect of any such
investments shall promptly be deposited by
the Servicer in the Servicer
Custodial Account or by the Trustee in the
Certificate Account, as applicable.
(e) The Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee of any
proposed
change of the location of the Servicer
Custodial Account maintained by the
Servicer not later than 30 days and not
more than 45 days prior to any change
thereof. The Trustee shall give notice to
the Servicer, each Rating Agency and
the Depositor of any proposed change of the
location of the Certificate Account
not later than 30 days after and not more
than 45 days prior to any change
thereof. The creation of the Servicer
Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a
certification substantially in the form of
Exhibit F hereto. A copy of such
certification shall be furnished to the
Trustee.
(f) The Trustee shall designate each of the Middle-Tier
Certificate
Sub-Account and the Upper-Tier Certificate
Sub-Account as a sub-account of the
Certificate Account. On each Distribution
Date (other than the Final
Distribution Date, if such Final
Distribution Date is in connection with a
purchase of the assets of the Trust Estate
by the Depositor), the Trustee shall,
from funds available on deposit in the
Certificate Account, be deemed to deposit
into the Middle-Tier Certificate
Sub-Account, the Lower-Tier Distribution
Amount. The Trustee shall then immediately,
from funds available in the
Middle-Tier Certificate Sub-Account, be
deemed to deposit into the Upper-Tier
Certificate Sub-Account, the Middle-Tier
Distribution Amount.
Section 3.09 Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar
Items;
Escrow Accounts. (a) To the extent required
by the related Mortgage Note and not
violative of current law, the Servicer
shall segregate and hold all funds
collected and received pursuant to each
Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow
Payments in trust separate and apart from
any of its own funds and general
assets and for such purpose shall establish
and maintain one or more escrow
accounts (collectively, the "Escrow
Account"), titled "Bank of America, N.A., in
trust for registered holders of Banc of
America Alternative Loan Trust 2005-7
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series
2005-7 and various Mortgagors." The
Escrow Account shall be established with a
commercial bank, a savings bank or a
savings and loan association that meets the
guidelines set forth by FNMA or
FHLMC as an eligible institution for escrow
accounts and which is a member of
the Automated Clearing House. In any case,
the Escrow Account shall be insured
by the FDIC to the fullest extent permitted
by law. The Servicer shall deposit
in the appropriate Escrow Account on a
daily basis, and retain therein: (i) all
Escrow Payments collected on account of the
Mortgage Loans, (ii) all amounts
representing proceeds of any hazard
insurance policy which are to be applied to
the restoration or repair of any related
Mortgaged Property and (iii) all
amounts representing proceeds of any
Primary Insurance Policy. Nothing herein
shall require the Servicer to compel a
Mortgagor to establish an Escrow Account
in violation of applicable law.
(b) Withdrawals of amounts so collected from the Escrow Accounts
may
be made by the Servicer only (i) to effect
timely payment of taxes, assessments,
mortgage insurance premiums, fire and
hazard insurance premiums, condominium or
PUD association dues, or comparable items
constituting Escrow Payments for the
related Mortgage, (ii) to reimburse the
Servicer out of related Escrow Payments
made with respect to a Mortgage Loan for
any Servicing Advance made by the
Servicer pursuant to Section 3.09(c) with
respect to such Mortgage Loan, (iii)
to refund to any Mortgagor any sums
determined to be overages, (iv) for transfer
to the Servicer Custodial Account upon
default of a Mortgagor or in accordance
with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan
and if permitted by applicable law,
(v) for application to restore or repair
the Mortgaged Property, (vi) to pay to
the Mortgagor, to the extent required by
law, any interest paid on the funds
deposited in the Escrow Account, (vii) to
pay to itself any interest earned on
funds deposited in the Escrow Account (and
not required to be paid to the
Mortgagor), (viii) to the extent permitted
under the terms of the related
Mortgage Note and applicable law, to pay
late fees with respect to any Monthly
Payment which is received after the
applicable grace period, (ix) to withdraw
suspense payments that are deposited into
the Escrow Account, (x) to withdraw
any amounts inadvertently deposited in the
Escrow Account or (xi) to clear and
terminate the Escrow Account upon the
termination of this Agreement in
accordance with Section 10.01. Any Escrow
Account shall not be a part of the
Trust Estate.
(c) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall
maintain
accurate records reflecting the status of
taxes, assessments and other charges
which are or may become a lien upon the
Mortgaged Property and the status of
Primary Insurance Policy premiums and fire
and hazard insurance coverage. The
Servicer shall obtain, from time to time,
all bills for the payment of such
charges (including renewal premiums) and
shall effect payment thereof prior to
the applicable penalty or termination date
and at a time appropriate for
securing maximum discounts allowable,
employing for such purpose deposits of the
Mortgagor in the Escrow Account, if any,
which shall have been estimated and
accumulated by the Servicer in amounts
sufficient for such purposes, as allowed
under the terms of the Mortgage. To the
extent that a Mortgage does not provide
for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall
determine that any such payments are
made by the Mortgagor. The Servicer assumes
full responsibility for the timely
payment of all such bills and shall effect
timely payments of all such bills
irrespective of each Mortgagor's faithful
performance in the payment of same or
the making of the Escrow Payments. The
Servicer shall advance any such payments
that are not timely paid, but the Servicer
shall be required so to advance only
to the extent that such Servicing Advances,
in the good faith judgment of the
Servicer, will be recoverable by the
Servicer out of Insurance Proceeds,
Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise.
Section 3.10 Access to Certain Documentation and Information
Regarding the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer
shall afford the Trustee reasonable
access to all records and documentation
regarding the Mortgage Loans and all
accounts, insurance information and other
matters relating to this Agreement,
such access being afforded without charge,
but only upon reasonable request and
during normal business hours at the office
designated by the Servicer. Section
3.11 Permitted Withdrawals from the
Servicer Custodial Account and Certificate
Account. The Servicer may from time to time
make withdrawals from the Servicer
Custodial Account, for the following
purposes:
(i) to pay to the Servicer (to the extent not previously
retained),
the
Servicing Compensation to which it is entitled pursuant to
Section
3.17;
(ii) to reimburse the Servicer for unreimbursed Advances made by
it,
such right
of reimbursement pursuant to this clause (ii) being limited to
amounts
received on the Mortgage Loan(s) (including amounts received in
respect of
BPP Mortgage Loan Payments for such Mortgage Loan) in respect
of which
any such Advance was made;
(iii) to
reimburse the Servicer for any Nonrecoverable Advance
previously
made, such right of reimbursement pursuant to this clause (iii)
being
limited to amounts received on the Mortgage Loans in the same
Loan
Group as
the Mortgage Loan(s) in respect of which such Nonrecoverable
Advance
was made;
(iv) to reimburse the Servicer for Insured Expenses from the
related
Insurance
Proceeds;
(v) to pay to the purchaser, with respect to each Mortgage Loan
or
REO
Property that has been purchased pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.04
or
3.14(b),
all amounts received thereon after the date of such purchase;
(vi) to reimburse the Servicer or the Depositor for expenses
incurred
by any of them and reimbursable pursuant to Section 7.03;
(vii) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Servicer
Custodial
Account
and not required to be deposited therein;
(viii) on or prior to the Remittance Date, to withdraw an
amount
equal to
the related Pool Distribution Amount for such Distribution
Date,
to the
extent on deposit, and remit such amount in immediately
available
funds to
the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account; and
(ix) to clear and terminate the Servicer Custodial Account upon
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01.
The Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a
Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for
the purpose of justifying any
withdrawal from the Servicer Custodial
Account pursuant to clauses (i), (ii),
(iv) and (v). The Servicer shall keep and
maintain such separate accounting for
each Loan Group. Prior to making any
withdrawal from the Servicer Custodial
Account pursuant to clause (iii), the
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee an
Officer's Certificate of a Servicing
Officer indicating the amount of any
previous Advance determined by the Servicer
to be a Nonrecoverable Advance and
identifying the related Mortgage Loan(s)
and their respective portions of such
Nonrecoverable Advance.
(b) The Trustee shall be deemed to withdraw funds from the
applicable Certificate Account sub-accounts
for distributions to
Certificateholders in the manner specified
in this Agreement. In addition, the
Trustee may from time to time make
withdrawals from the Certificate Account for
the following purposes:
(i) to pay to itself the Trustee Fee;
(ii) to pay to itself as additional compensation earnings on or
investment
income with respect to funds in the Certificate Account and any
other
amounts due to the Trustee (other than the Trustee Fee) under
this
Agreement
for the related Distribution Date;
(iii) to withdraw and return to the Servicer any amount deposited
in
the
Certificate Account and not required to be deposited therein;
and
(iv) to clear and terminate the Certificate Account upon
termination
of this
Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01.
(c)
On each Distribution Date, funds on deposit in the Certificate
Account and deemed to be on deposit in the
Upper-Tier Certificate Sub-Account
shall be used to make payments on the
Regular Certificates, the Class CB-IO
Certificates, the Class CB-PO Certificates
and the Class CB-R Certificate (in
respect of the R-U Interest) as provided in
Sections 5.01 and 5.02. The
Certificate Account shall be cleared and
terminated upon termination of this
Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01.
Section 3.12 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance. The Servicer
shall
cause to be maintained for each Mortgage
Loan, fire and hazard insurance with
extended coverage customary in the area
where the Mortgaged Property is located
in an amount which is at least equal to the
lesser of (a) the full insurable
value of the Mortgaged Property or (b) the
greater of (i) the outstanding
principal balance owing on the Mortgage
Loan and (ii) an amount such that the
proceeds of such insurance shall be
sufficient to avoid the application to the
Mortgagor or loss payee of any coinsurance
clause under the policy. If the
Mortgaged Property is in an area identified
in the Federal Register by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency as
having special flood hazards (and such
flood insurance has been made available)
the Servicer will cause to be
maintained a flood insurance policy meeting
the requirements of the current
guidelines of the Federal Insurance
Administration and the requirements of FNMA
or FHLMC. The Servicer shall also maintain
on REO Property, fire and hazard
insurance with extended coverage in an
amount which is at least equal to the
maximum insurable value of the improvements
which are a part of such property,
liability insurance and, to the extent
required, flood insurance in an amount
required above. Any amounts collected by
the Servicer under any such policies
(other than amounts to be deposited in an
Escrow Account and applied to the
restoration or repair of the property
subject to the related Mortgage or
property acquired in liquidation of the
Mortgage Loan, or to be released to the
Mortgagor in accordance with Customary
Servicing Procedures) shall be deposited
in the Servicer Custodial Account, subject
to withdrawal pursuant to Section
3.11(a). It is understood and agreed that
no earthquake or other additional
insurance need be required by the Servicer
of any Mortgagor or maintained on REO
Property, other than pursuant to such
applicable laws and regulations as shall
at any time be in force and as shall
require such additional insurance. All
policies required hereunder shall be
endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses
with loss payable to the Servicer, and
shall provide for at least 30 days' prior
written notice of any cancellation,
reduction in amount or material change in
coverage to the Servicer.
The hazard insurance policies for each Mortgage Loan secured by
a
unit in a condominium development or
planned unit development shall be
maintained with respect to such Mortgage
Loan and the related development in a
manner which is consistent with FNMA
requirements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer may maintain a
blanket
policy insuring against hazard losses on
all of the Mortgaged Properties
relating to the Mortgage Loans in lieu of
maintaining the required hazard
insurance policies for each Mortgage Loan
and may maintain a blanket policy
insuring against special flood hazards in
lieu of maintaining any required flood
insurance. Any such blanket policies shall
(A) be consistent with prudent
industry standards, (B) name the Servicer
as loss payee, (C) provide coverage in
an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid
principal balance on the related
Mortgage Loans without co-insurance, and
(D) otherwise comply with the
requirements of this Section 3.12. Any such
blanket policy may contain a
deductible clause; provided that if any
Mortgaged Property is not covered by a
separate policy otherwise complying with
this Section 3.12 and a loss occurs
with respect to such Mortgaged Property
which loss would have been covered by
such a policy, the Servicer shall deposit
in the Servicer Custodial Account the
difference, if any, between the amount that
would have been payable under a
separate policy complying with this Section
3.12 and the amount paid under such
blanket policy.
Section 3.13 Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements. (a) Except as otherwise
provided in this Section 3.13, when any
Mortgaged Property subject to a Mortgage
has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the
Servicer shall use reasonable efforts, to
the extent that it has actual
knowledge of such conveyance, to enforce
any due-on-sale clause contained in any
Mortgage Note or Mortgage, to the extent
permitted under applicable law and
governmental regulations, but only to the
extent that such enforcement will not
adversely affect or jeopardize coverage
under any Required Insurance Policy.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer
is not required to exercise such
rights with respect to a Mortgage Loan if
the Person to whom the related
Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is
proposed to be conveyed satisfies the
terms and conditions contained in the
Mortgage Note and Mortgage related thereto
and the consent of the mortgagee under such
Mortgage Note or Mortgage is not
otherwise required under such Mortgage Note
or Mortgage as a condition to such
transfer. If (i) the Servicer is prohibited
by law from enforcing any such
due-on-sale clause, (ii) coverage under any
Required Insurance Policy would be
adversely affected, (iii) the Mortgage Note
does not include a due-on-sale
clause or (iv) nonenforcement is otherwise
permitted hereunder, the Servicer is
authorized, subject to Section 3.13(b), to
take or enter into an assumption and
modification agreement from or with the
Person to whom such Mortgaged Property
has been or is about to be conveyed,
pursuant to which such Person becomes
liable under the Mortgage Note and, unless
prohibited by applicable state law,
the Mortgagor remains liable thereon;
provided that the Mortgage Loan shall
continue to be covered (if so covered
before the Servicer enters such agreement)
by the applicable Required Insurance
Policies. The Servicer, subject to Section
3.13(b), is also authorized with the prior
approval of the insurers under any
Required Insurance Policies to enter into a
substitution of liability agreement
with such Person, pursuant to which the
original Mortgagor is released from
liability and such Person is substituted as
Mortgagor and becomes liable under
the Mortgage Note. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Servicer shall not be
deemed to be in default under this Section
3.13 by reason of any transfer or
assumption which the Servicer reasonably
believes it is restricted by law from
preventing, for any reason whatsoever.
(b) Subject to the Servicer's duty to enforce any due-on-sale
clause
to the extent set forth in Section 3.13(a),
in any case in which a Mortgaged
Property has been conveyed to a Person by a
Mortgagor, and such Person is to
enter into an assumption agreement or
modification agreement or supplement to
the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or if an
instrument of release is required
releasing the Mortgagor from liability on
the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall
prepare and execute the assumption
agreement with the Person to whom the
Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed and
such modification agreement or
supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage
or other instruments as are
reasonable or necessary to carry out the
terms of the Mortgage Note or Mortgage
or otherwise to comply with any applicable
laws regarding assumptions or the
transfer of the Mortgaged Property to such
Person. In connection with any such
assumption, no material term of the
Mortgage Note may be changed. In addition,
the substitute Mortgagor and the Mortgaged
Property must be acceptable to the
Servicer in accordance with its
underwriting standards as then in effect.
Together with each such substitution,
assumption or other agreement or
instrument, the Servicer shall execute an
Officer's Certificate signed by a
Servicing Officer stating that the
requirements of this subsection have been
met. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee
that any such substitution or
assumption agreement has been completed by
forwarding to the Trustee (or at the
direction of the Trustee, the Custodian)
the Officer's Certificate described in
the previous sentence and the original of
such substitution or assumption
agreement, which in the case of the
original shall be added to the related
Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes,
be considered a part of such Mortgage
File to the same extent as all other
documents and instruments constituting a
part thereof. Any fee collected by the
Servicer for entering into an assumption
or substitution of liability agreement may
be retained by the Servicer as
additional Servicing Compensation.
Section 3.14 Realization upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; REO
Property. (a) Subject to Section 3.21, the
Servicer shall use reasonable efforts
to foreclose upon 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. In connection with
such foreclosure or other conversion,
the Servicer shall follow Customary
Servicing Procedures and shall meet the
requirements of the insurer under any
Required Insurance Policy; provided,
however, that the Servicer may enter into a
special servicing agreement with an
unaffiliated Holder of 100% Percentage
Interest of a Class of Class B
Certificates or a holder of a class of
securities representing interests in the
Class B Certificates alone or together with
other subordinated mortgage
pass-through certificates. Such agreement
shall be substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit K or subject to
each Rating Agency's acknowledgment
that the ratings of the Certificates in
effect immediately prior to the entering
into such agreement would not be qualified,
downgraded or withdrawn and the
Certificates would not be placed on credit
review status (except for possible
upgrading) as a result of such agreement.
Any such agreement may contain
provisions whereby such holder may instruct
the Servicer to commence or delay
foreclosure proceedings with respect to
delinquent Mortgage Loans and will
contain provisions for the deposit of cash
by the holder that would be available
for distribution to Certificateholders if
Liquidation Proceeds are less than
they otherwise may have been had the
Servicer acted in accordance with its
normal procedures. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Servicer shall not be
required to expend its own funds in
connection with any foreclosure or towards
the restoration of any Mortgaged Property
unless it shall determine (i) that
such restoration and/or foreclosure will
increase the proceeds of liquidation of
the Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to
itself of such expenses and (ii) that
such expenses will be recoverable to it
through proceeds of the liquidation of
the Mortgage Loan (respecting which it
shall have priority for purposes of
withdrawals from the Servicer Custodial
Account). Any such expenditures shall
constitute Servicing Advances for purposes
of this Agreement.
With respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate of
sale
shall be taken in the name of the Trustee
for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, or its nominee, on
behalf of the Certificateholders. The
Trustee's name shall be placed on the title
to such REO Property solely as the
Trustee hereunder and not in its individual
capacity. The Servicer shall ensure
that the title to such REO Property
references this Agreement and the Trustee's
capacity hereunder. Pursuant to its efforts
to sell such REO Property, the
Servicer shall either itself or through an
agent selected by the Servicer
manage, conserve, protect and operate such
REO Property in the same manner that
it manages, conserves, protects and
operates other foreclosed property for its
own account and in the same manner that
similar property in the same locality as
the REO Property is managed. Incident to
its conservation and protection of the
interests of the Certificateholders, the
Servicer may rent the same, or any part
thereof, as the Servicer deems to be in the
best interest of the
Certificateholders for the period prior to
the sale of such REO Property. The
Servicer shall prepare for and deliver to
the Trustee a statement with respect
to each REO Property that has been rented,
if any, showing the aggregate rental
income received and all expenses incurred
in connection with the management and
maintenance of such REO Property at such
times as is necessary to enable the
Trustee to comply with the reporting
requirements of the REMIC Provisions;
provided, however, that the Servicer shall
have no duty to rent any REO Property
on behalf of the Trust. The net monthly
rental income, if any, from such REO
Property shall be deposited in the Servicer
Custodial Account no later than the
close of business on each Determination
Date. The Servicer shall perform, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans, the tax
reporting and withholding required by
Sections 1445 and 6050J of the Code with
respect to foreclosures and
abandonments, the tax reporting required by
Section 6050H of the Code with
respect to the receipt of mortgage interest
from individuals and, if required by
Section 6050P of the Code with respect to
the cancellation of indebtedness by
certain financial entities, by preparing
such tax and information returns as may
be required, in the form required.
If the Trust acquires any Mortgaged Property as described above
or
otherwise in connection with a default or a
default which is reasonably
foreseeable on a Mortgage Loan, the
Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged
Property prior to the end of the third
calendar year following the year of its
acquisition by the Trust (such period, the
"REO Disposition Period") unless (A)
the Trustee shall have been supplied by the
Servicer with an Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that the holding by the Trust
of such Mortgaged Property
subsequent to the REO Disposition Period
will not result in the imposition of
taxes on "prohibited transactions" (as
defined in Section 860F of the Code) on
any of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the
Middle-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC or
cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail
to qualify as a REMIC at any time that
any Certificates are outstanding, or (B)
the Trustee (at the Servicer's expense)
or the Servicer shall have applied for,
prior to the expiration of the REO
Disposition Period, an extension of the REO
Disposition Period in the manner
contemplated by Section 856(e)(3) of the
Code. If such an Opinion of Counsel is
provided or such an exemption is obtained,
the Trust may continue to hold such
Mortgaged Property (subject to any
conditions contained in such Opinion of
Counsel) for the applicable period.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, no Mortgaged Property acquired
by the Trust shall be rented (or
allowed to continue to be rented) or
otherwise used for the production of income
by or on behalf of the Trust in such a
manner or pursuant to any terms that
would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to
fail to qualify as "foreclosure
property" within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject
any REMIC created hereunder to the
imposition of any federal, state or local
income taxes on the income earned from such
Mortgaged Property under Section
860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless
the Servicer has agreed to indemnify
and hold harmless the Trust with respect to
the imposition of any such taxes.
The Servicer shall identify to the Trustee
any Mortgaged Property relating to a
Mortgage Loan held by the Trust for 30
months for which no plans to dispose of
such Mortgaged Property by the Servicer
have been made. After delivery of such
identification, the Servicer shall proceed
to dispose of any such Mortgaged
Property by holding a commercially
reasonable auction for such property.
The income earned from the management of any REO Properties, net
of
reimbursement to the Servicer for expenses
incurred (including any property or
other taxes) in connection with such
management and net of unreimbursed
Servicing Fees, Periodic Advances and
Servicing Advances, shall be applied to
the payment of principal of and interest on
the related defaulted Mortgage Loans
(solely for the purposes of allocating
principal and interest, interest shall be
treated as accruing as though such Mortgage
Loans were still current) and all
such income shall be deemed, for all
purposes in this Agreement, to be payments
on account of principal and interest on the
related Mortgage Notes and shall be
deposited into the Servicer Custodial
Account. To the extent the net income
received during any calendar month is in
excess of the amount attributable to
amortizing principal and accrued interest
at the related Mortgage Interest Rate
on the related Mortgage Loan for such
calendar month, such excess shall be
considered to be a partial prepayment of
principal of the related Mortgage Loan.
The proceeds from any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, as well as
any
income from an REO Property, will be
applied in the following order of priority:
first, to reimburse the Servicer for any
related unreimbursed Servicing Advances
and Servicing Fees; second, to reimburse
the Servicer for any unreimbursed
Periodic Advances and to reimburse the
Servicer Custodial Account for any
Nonrecoverable Advances (or portions
thereof) that were previously withdrawn by
the Servicer pursuant to Section
3.11(a)(iii) that related to such Mortgage
Loan; third, to accrued and unpaid interest
(to the extent no Periodic Advance
has been made for such amount or any such
Periodic Advance has been reimbursed)
on the Mortgage Loan or related REO
Property, at the Mortgage Interest Rate to
the Due Date occurring in the month in
which such amounts are required to be
distributed; and fourth, as a recovery of
principal of the Mortgage Loan. Excess
Proceeds, if any, from the liquidation of a
Liquidated Mortgage Loan will be
retained by the Servicer as additional
Servicing Compensation pursuant to
Section 3.17.
(b) The Servicer shall promptly notify the Depositor of any
Mortgage
Loan which comes into default. The
Depositor shall be entitled, at its option,
to repurchase (i) any such defaulted
Mortgage Loan from the Trust Estate if (a)
in the Depositor's judgment, the default is
not likely to be cured by the
Mortgagor and (b) such Mortgage Loan is 180
days or more delinquent or (ii) any
Mortgage Loan in the Trust Estate which
pursuant to Section 4(b) of the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement the Seller requests
the Depositor to repurchase and to
sell to the Seller to facilitate the
exercise of the Seller's rights against the
originator or prior holder of such Mortgage
Loan. The purchase price for any
such Mortgage Loan shall be 100% of the
unpaid principal balance of such
Mortgage Loan plus accrued interest thereon
at the Mortgage Interest Rate
through the last day of the month in which
such repurchase occurs. Upon the
receipt of such purchase price, the
Servicer shall provide to the Trustee the
notification required by Section 3.15 and
the Trustee or the Custodian shall
promptly release to the Depositor the
Mortgage File relating to the Mortgage
Loan being repurchased.
Section 3.15 Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
Upon
the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan,
or the receipt by the Servicer of a
notification that payment in full will be
escrowed in a manner customary for
such purposes, the Servicer will
immediately notify the Trustee (or, at the
direction of the Trustee, the Custodian) by
delivering, or causing to be
delivered, two copies (one of which will be
returned to the Servicer with the
Mortgage File) of a Request for Release
(which may be delivered in an electronic
format acceptable to the Trustee and the
Servicer). Upon receipt of such
request, the Trustee or the Custodian, as
applicable, shall within seven
Business Days release the related Mortgage
File to the Servicer. The Trustee
shall deliver to the Servicer the Mortgage
Note with written evidence of
cancellation thereon. If the Mortgage has
been recorded in the name of MERS or
its designee, the Servicer shall take all
necessary action to reflect the
release of the Mortgage on the records of
MERS. Expenses incurred in connection
with any instrument of satisfaction or deed
of reconveyance shall be chargeable
to the related Mortgagor. From time to time
and as shall be appropriate for the
servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage
Loan, including for such purpose
collection under any policy of flood
insurance, any fidelity bond or errors or
omissions policy, or for the purposes of
effecting a partial release of any
Mortgaged Property from the lien of the
Mortgage or the making of any
corrections to the Mortgage Note or the
Mortgage or any of the other documents
included in the Mortgage File, the Trustee
or the Custodian, as applicable,
shall, upon delivery to the Trustee (or, at
the direction of the Trustee, the
Custodian) of a Request for Release signed
by a Servicing Officer, release the
Mortgage File within seven Business Days to
the Servicer. Subject to the further
limitations set forth below, the Servicer
shall cause the Mortgage File so
released to be returned to the Trustee or
the Custodian, as applicable, when the
need therefor by the Servicer no longer
exists, unless the Mortgage Loan is
liquidated and the proceeds thereof are
deposited in the Servicer Custodial
Account, in which case the Servicer shall
deliver to the Trustee or the
Custodian, as applicable, a Request for
Release, signed by a Servicing Officer.
Upon prepayment in full of any Mortgage Loan or the receipt of
notice that funds for such purpose have
been placed in escrow, the Servicer
shall give an instrument of satisfaction
(or Assignment of Mortgage without
recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property
relating to such Mortgage Loan, which
instrument of satisfaction or Assignment of
Mortgage, as the case may be, shall
be delivered to the Person entitled thereto
against receipt of the prepayment in
full. If the Mortgage is registered in the
name of MERS or its designee, the
Servicer shall take all necessary action to
reflect the release on the records
of MERS. In lieu of executing such
satisfaction or Assignment of Mortgage, or if
another document is required to be executed
by the Trustee, the Servicer may
deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Trustee, for signature, as appropriate,
any court pleadings, requests for trustee's
sale or other documents necessary to
effectuate such foreclosure or any legal
action brought to obtain judgment
against the Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note
or the Mortgage or to obtain a
deficiency judgment or to enforce any other
remedies or rights provided by the
Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or otherwise
available at law or in equity.
Section 3.16 Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of the
Servicer to Be Held for the Trustee. The
Servicer shall transmit to the Trustee
or, at the direction of the Trustee, the
Custodian as required by this Agreement
all documents and instruments in respect of
a Mortgage Loan coming into the
possession of the Servicer from time to
time and shall account fully to the
Trustee for any funds received by the
Servicer or which otherwise are collected
by the Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds or
Insurance Proceeds in respect of any
Mortgage Loan. The documents constituting
the Servicing File shall be held by
the Servicer as custodian and bailee for
the Trustee. All Mortgage Files and
funds collected or held by, or under the
control of, the Servicer in respect of
any Mortgage Loans, whether from the
collection of principal and interest
payments or from Liquidation Proceeds,
including but not limited to, any funds
on deposit in the Servicer Custodial
Account, shall be held by the Servicer for
and on behalf of the Trustee and shall be
and remain the sole and exclusive
property of the Trustee, subject to the
applicable provisions of this Agreement.
The Servicer also agrees that it shall not
knowingly create, incur or subject
any Mortgage File or any funds that are
deposited in the Servicer Custodial
Account, Certificate Account or any Escrow
Account, or any funds that otherwise
are or may become due or payable to the
Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, to any claim, lien,
security interest, judgment, levy, writ
of attachment or other encumbrance created
by the Servicer, or assert by legal
action or otherwise any claim or right of
setoff against any Mortgage File or
any funds collected on, or in connection
with, a Mortgage Loan, except, however,
that the Servicer shall be entitled to set
off against and deduct from any such
funds any amounts that are properly due and
payable to the Servicer under this
Agreement.
Section 3.17 Servicing Compensation. The Servicer shall be
entitled
out of each payment of interest on a
Mortgage Loan (or portion thereof) and
included in the Trust Estate to retain or
withdraw from the Servicer Custodial
Account an amount equal to the Servicing
Fee for such Distribution Date;
provided, however, that the aggregate
Servicing Fee for the Servicer shall be
reduced (but not below zero) by an amount
equal to the Compensating Interest.
Any additional Servicing Compensation shall be retained by the
Servicer to the extent not required to be
deposited in the Servicer Custodial
Account pursuant to Section 3.08(b). The
Servicer shall be required to pay all
expenses incurred by it in connection with
its servicing activities hereunder
and shall not be entitled to reimbursement
therefor except as specifically
provided in this Agreement.
Section 3.18 Annual Statement as to Compliance. Commencing in
the
calendar year following the date of this
Agreement, the Servicer shall deliver
to the Trustee and each Rating Agency on or
before the 10th day (or if not a
Business Day, the immediately preceding
Business Day) preceding the latest day
in each year on which an annual report on
Form 10-K may be timely filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (without
regard to any extension), an
Officer's Certificate stating, as to the
signer thereof, that (a) a review of
the activities of the Servicer during the
preceding calendar year and of the
performance of the Servicer under this
Agreement has been made under such
officer's supervision, and (b) to the best
of such officer's knowledge, based on
such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all
its obligations under this Agreement
throughout such year, or, if there has been
a default in the fulfillment of any
such obligation, specifying each such
default known to such officer and the
nature and status thereof.
Section 3.19 Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing
Statement; Financial Statements. Commencing
in the calendar year following the
date of this Agreement, the Servicer shall,
at its own expense, on or before the
10th day (or if not a Business Day, the
immediately preceding Business Day)
preceding the latest day in each year on
which an annual report on Form 10-K may
be timely filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (without regard to
any extension), cause a firm of independent
public accountants (who may also
render other services to the Servicer or
any affiliate thereof) which is a
member of the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants to furnish a
statement to the Trustee to the effect that
such firm has with respect to the
Servicer's overall servicing operations,
examined such operations in accordance
with the requirements of the Uniform Single
Attestation Program for Mortgage
Bankers, stating such firm's conclusions
relating thereto.
Section 3.20 Advances. The Servicer shall determine on or
before
each Servicer Advance Date whether it is
required to make a Periodic Advance
pursuant to the definition thereof. If the
Servicer determines it is required to
make a Periodic Advance, it shall, on or
before the Servicer Advance Date,
either (a) deposit into the Servicer
Custodial Account an amount equal to the
Advance and/or (b) make an appropriate
entry in its records relating to the
Servicer Custodial Account that any portion
of the Amount Held for Future
Distribution with respect to a Loan Group
in the Servicer Custodial Account has
been used by the Servicer in discharge of
its obligation to make any such
Periodic Advance on a Mortgage Loan in such
Loan Group. Any funds so applied
shall be replaced by the Servicer by
deposit in the Servicer Custodial Account
no later than the close of business on the
Business Day preceding the next
Servicer Advance Date. The Servicer shall
be entitled to be reimbursed from the
Servicer Custodial Account for all Advances
of its own funds made pursuant to
this Section 3.20 as provided in Section
3.11(a). The obligation to make
Periodic Advances with respect to any
Mortgage Loan shall continue until the
ultimate disposition of the REO Property or
Mortgaged Property relating to such
Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall inform
the Trustee of the amount of the
Periodic Advance to be made by the Servicer
with respect to each Loan Group on
each Servicer Advance Date no later than
the related Remittance Date.
The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee on the related
Servicer
Advance Date an Officer's Certificate of a
Servicing Officer indicating the
amount of any proposed Periodic Advance
determined by the Servicer to be a
Nonrecoverable Advance. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, the Servicer
shall not be required to make any Periodic
Advance or Servicing Advance that
would be a Nonrecoverable Advance.
Section 3.21 Modifications, Waivers, Amendments and Consents.
(a)
Subject to this Section 3.21, the Servicer
may agree to any modification,
waiver, forbearance, or amendment of any
term of any Mortgage Loan without the
consent of the Trustee or any
Certificateholder. All modifications, waivers,
forbearances or amendments of any Mortgage
Loan shall be in writing and shall be
consistent with Customary Servicing
Procedures.
(b) The Servicer shall not agree to enter into, and shall not
enter
into, any modification, waiver (other than
a waiver referred to in Section 3.13,
which waiver, if any, shall be governed by
Section 3.13), forbearance or
amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan
if such modification, waiver,
forbearance, or amendment would:
(i) forgive principal owing under such Mortgage Loan or
permanently
reduce the
interest rate on such Mortgage Loan;
(ii) affect the amount or timing of any related payment of
principal,
interest or other amount payable thereunder;
(iii) in the Servicer's judgment, materially impair the security
for
such
Mortgage Loan or reduce the likelihood of timely payment of
amounts
due
thereon; or
(iv) otherwise constitute a "significant modification" within
the
meaning of
Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b);
unless, in the case of clauses (ii) through
(iv) above, (A) such Mortgage Loan
is 90 days or more past due or (B) the
Servicer delivers to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
modification, waiver, forbearance or
amendment would not affect the REMIC status
of any of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the
Middle-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
Opinion of Counsel need be delivered if the
purpose of the modification is to
reduce the Monthly Payment on a Mortgage
Loan as a result of a partial Principal
Prepayment; provided that the Mortgage Loan
is fully amortized by its original
maturity date. Subject to Customary
Servicing Procedures, the Servicer may
permit a forbearance for a Mortgage Loan
which in the Servicer's judgment is
subject to imminent default.
(c) The Servicer may, as a condition to granting any request by
a
Mortgagor for consent, modification,
waiver, forbearance or amendment, the
granting of which is within the Servicer's
discretion pursuant to the Mortgage
Loan and is permitted by the terms of this
Agreement, require that such
Mortgagor pay to the Servicer, as
additional Servicing Compensation, a
reasonable or customary fee for the
additional services performed in connection
with such request, together with any
related costs and expenses incurred by the
Servicer, which amount shall be retained by
the Servicer as additional Servicing
Compensation.
(d) The Servicer shall notify the Trustee, in writing, of any
modification, waiver, forbearance or
amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan
and the date thereof, and shall deliver to
the Trustee (or, at the direction of
the Trustee, the Custodian) for deposit
in
