These settlement funds must be paid to the Security Holders in accordance with section 6.04.

Section 4.03 Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or in the Guide, the Issuer is hereby authorized and empowered to foreclose on any collateral securing the Mortgages, execute and deliver in its own name, or in the name of its nominee, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to all the Mortgages and with respect to the properties covered by all such Mortgages. Any such instrument shall be executed and delivered only in conformance with and subject to all applicable rules, regulations, and comparable promulgations and issuances of the applicable insuring or guaranteeing agency. The foregoing authority and power of the Issuer shall terminate and expire, and the Issuer shall discontinue the execution and delivery of all such instruments, on notification by Ginnie Mae to the effect that it is extinguishing all right, title, or other interest of the Issuer in the Mortgages pursuant to article X.

Section 4.06 The Issuer may service the Ginnie Mae mortgage pools, mortgages and securities for which it has Issuer responsibility, as identified on the records of Ginnie Mae, only so long as the Issuer retains its status as an approved Ginnie Mae Issuer, as defined in the Guide. Once an Issuer is declared in default and its rights are extinguished by Ginnie Mae, that Issuer may no longer service any Ginnie Mae mortgage pools, mortgages or securities.

Section 4.07 In the event the Issuer determines that funds provided by a mortgagor and available in the Escrow Custodial Account are insufficient to meet a payment due for that mortgagor’s taxes, assessments, ground rents, hazard and mortgage insurance premiums, payments for rehabilitation or improvement expenses, the buydown portion of the Mortgage payment, or comparable items, the Issuer shall advance its own corporate funds for the purpose of making such payment.

Section 4.08 The Issuer shall establish and maintain accounting records, which shall be in accordance with the Guide and any applicable instructions and directions issued by Ginnie Mae, with respect to all Advances paid under sections 4.07 and/or 6.02, such records to be adequate to reflect: all such Advances made by the Issuer into the Central P&I Custodial Account, the Principal and Interest Custodial Account or any Escrow Custodial Account, payment directly to a taxing authority or insurance company or for any other payments required under the Mortgages; the use made of Advances for payments required on the Securities, including their allocation as between interest and principal on such Securities; the Mortgages with respect to which Advances are made; and the amount (including the allocation as between principal and interest) advanced on each such Mortgage, and recoveries and losses of Advances made, with respect to each Mortgage, including their allocation as between interest and principal owed on each Mortgage.

Section 6.01 The Issuer shall remit to the Security Holders of certificated Securities and deposit to the Central P&I Custodial Account funds sufficient to pay the Depository, as Security Holder of all book-entry Securities, all payments required to be made under the terms and conditions of all Securities issued and outstanding under this Agreement and all payments required under this Agreement and the Guide. All such payments must be made in a timely manner such that, with respect to the payment for any given month, the Security Holders of certificated Securities will receive payment by the 15th day of each month, with final payment to be only on receipt of each certificated Security by the Issuer. Funds in an amount equal to the monthly payments of principal and interest due on all book-entry Securities must be deposited or made available in the Central P&I Custodial Account prior to 7:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the 15th day of each month or, if the 15th day of the month is not a business day, prior to 7:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the first business day following the 15th day of the month.

Section 6.02 (a) The Issuer shall establish and maintain such controls and procedures to enable it to accurately project in advance whether or not it will have available sufficient funds to make payments required under the Securities in a timely manner.

(b) If the Issuer does not have available sufficient funds to make a required monthly payment due to the Security Holders in a timely manner; the Issuer either shall make Advances or may utilize Excess Funds to meet such payment. If the Issuer is not able to make the full payment by these means, it shall submit a timely notice to Ginnie Mae, before payment to the Security Holder is due, requesting Ginnie Mae to advance funds sufficient to make the full monthly payment to Security Holders. Any such notice shall be a basis for default under section 10.01(a)(2).

Section 6.03 Each monthly payment on the Securities shall be comprised of (a) the interest due pursuant to section 2.03, (b) scheduled payments of principal due on the Mortgages on the first day of the month, or in the case of Securities backed by internal reserve pools on the first day of the month immediately preceding the month, in which the payment on the Securities is due, and (c) unscheduled recoveries of principal of the Mortgages as defined in section 6.04.

Section 6.04 (a) With respect to a monthly payment on the Securities, unscheduled recoveries of principal are payments received by the Issuer in the Reporting Month preceding the monthly payment on the Securities, and are any and all proceeds received or due in connection with the Mortgages, or the property securing the Mortgages, other than scheduled payments of interest and recoveries of principal and miscellaneous collections (defined in (c), below). Unscheduled recoveries of principal include, but are not limited to, the following items in their entirety:

 

  (1) prepayments (excluding scheduled recoveries of principal paid in advance of their due dates, which must be passed through to the Securities Holders on their scheduled due dates);

 

  (2) mortgage or title insurance and guaranty claim settlement proceeds;

 

  (3) hazard insurance and condemnation proceeds, to the extent not used to repair the collateral;

 

  (4) proceeds from foreclosure sales or, if applicable, repossession sales and any payments received in lieu of foreclosure or repossession of the collateral;

GINNIE MAE 5500.3, REV. 1

 

 

  (5) proceeds from any sale, resale, transfer or disposal of a Mortgage or any interest in a Mortgage (this does not include the authorized transfers of Issuer responsibility or the pledging of servicing, if those transactions comply with requirements in the Guide);

 

  (6) any principal amount of a Mortgage finally discharged by a bankruptcy court;

 

  (7) payment from the Issuer’s own funds as required under this section 6.04; and

 

  (8) all other payments or proceeds that include any amounts reflecting the recovery of principal due on a Mortgage.

(b) Unscheduled recoveries of principal, including but not limited to all of the items in section 6.04(a), must be passed through to the Security Holders in their entirety, as set forth above, so long as there is an outstanding principal balance on the Securities. Advances or other payments due or authorized under the Mortgages previously made by the Issuer may not be deducted or recovered from these funds until the Security Holders have been paid in full. Any deduction from an unscheduled recovery of principal made by third parties must be replaced in its entirety by the Issuer prior to payment to the Security Holders.

(c) Miscellaneous collections shall include, to the extent that they are paid pursuant to a Mortgage, only:

 

  (1) mortgage insurance premiums;

 

  (2) taxes;

 

  (3) hazard insurance premium payments;

 

  (4) special charges related to servicing;
