This Pooling and Servicing Agreement is dated as of September 1, 2006 (the “Agreement”), among GREENWICH CAPITAL ACCEPTANCE, INC., a Delaware corporation, as depositor (the “Depositor”), GREENWICH CAPITAL FINANCIAL PRODUCTS, INC., a New York corporation, as seller (the “Seller”), and DEUTSCHE BANK NATIONAL TRUST COMPANY, a national banking association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).
 
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:
 
Through this Agreement, the Depositor intends to cause the issuance and sale of the HarborView Mortgage Loan Trust Mortgage Loan Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-9 (the “Certificates”) representing in the aggregate the entire beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund, the primary assets of which are the Mortgage Loans (as defined below).
 
The Depositor intends to sell the Certificates, to be issued hereunder in multiple classes, which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund. The Certificates will consist of sixteen classes of certificates, designated as (i) the Class 1A-1A Certificates, (ii) the Class 2A-1A Certificates, (iii) the Class 2A-1B1 Certificates, (iv) the Class 2A-1B2 Certificates, (v) the Class 2A-1C1 Certificates, (vi) the Class 2A-1C2 Certificates, (vii) the Class B-1 Certificates, (viii) the Class B-2 Certificates, (ix) the Class B-3 Certificates, (x) the Class B-4 Certificates, (xi) the Class B-5 Certificates, (xii) the Class B-6 Certificates, (xiii) the Class B-7 Certificates, (xiv) the Class C Certificates, (xv) the Class P Certificates and (xvi) the Class R Certificates.
 
For federal income tax purposes, the Trust Fund (exclusive of the assets held in the Basis Risk Reserve Fund, the Yield Maintenance Trust, the Yield Maintenance Trust Account, the Yield Maintenance Account, the Yield Maintenance Agreement, the Class 2A-1C2 Yield Maintenance Account, the Class 2A-1C2 Yield Maintenance Agreement, the Final Maturity Reserve Trust and the Final Maturity Reserve Account (the “Excluded Trust Property”)) comprises two REMICs in a tiered REMIC structure: the “Lower-Tier REMIC” and the “Upper-Tier REMIC.” Each Certificate, other than the Class R Certificate, shall represent ownership of a regular interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC, as described herein. The LIBOR Certificates also represent the right to receive (i) payments in respect of the Final Maturity Reserve Account, (ii) payments in respect of Basis Risk Shortfalls from the Basis Risk Reserve Fund as provided in Section 5.07 and (iii) payments in respect of Basis Risk Shortfalls from the Yield Maintenance Account as provided in Section 5.01(h). In addition, the Class 2A-1C2 Certificates also represent the right to receive payments in respect of Basis Risk Shortfalls from the Class 2A-1C2 Yield Maintenance Account as provided in Section 5.01(i). The owners of the Class C Certificates beneficially own the Basis Risk Reserve Fund, the Final Maturity Reserve Account, the Final Maturity Reserve Trust, the Yield Maintenance Trust, the Yield Maintenance Trust Account, the Yield Maintenance Account and the Class 2A-1C2 Yield Maintenance Account. The Class R Certificate represents the sole class of residual interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC.
 
The Lower-Tier REMIC will hold as its assets all of the assets constituting the Trust Fund (exclusive of the Excluded Trust Property) and will issue interests (the “Lower-Tier Regular Interests”) (which will be uncertificated and will represent the regular interests in the Lower-Tier REMIC) and a residual interest (the “Class LT-R Interest”) which will also be uncertificated and which will represent the sole class of residual interest in the Lower-Tier REMIC. The Trustee will hold the Lower-Tier Regular Interests as assets of the Upper-Tier REMIC.


 
For purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the startup day for each REMIC created hereby is the Closing Date. All REMIC regular and residual interests created hereby will be retired on or before the Latest Possible Maturity Date.
 
Lower-Tier REMIC
 
The following table sets forth (or describes) the designation, interest rate, and initial principal balance of each Lower-Tier Interest in the Lower-Tier REMIC, each of which, other than the LT-R Lower-Tier Interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Lower-Tier REMIC (the “Lower-Tier Regular Interests):

The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) for each of these Lower-Tier Regular Interests is a per annum rate equal to the Net WAC.
 
(2)  
The LT-I Interest is an interest only interest that does not have a principal balance but has a notional amount as of any Distribution Date equal to the Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans as of the first day of the related Due Period (or in the case of the first Distribution Date, as of the Cut-off Date). For any Distribution Date before the Distribution Date in October 2016, it shall bear interest for the related Accrual Period at a fixed rate of 0.00%, and for each Distribution Date commencing on the Distribution Date in October 2016 and on each Distribution Date thereafter until the Final Maturity Reserve Termination Date, it shall bear interest for the related Accrual Period at a fixed rate equal to the Final Maturity Reserve Rate.
 
(3)  
The LT-R Interest is the sole Class of residual interest in the Lower-Tier REMIC. It does not have an interest rate or a principal balance.

2


On each Distribution Date, Available Funds shall be distributed in payment of principal on the Lower-Tier Regular Interests as follows:
 
  i.  
concurrently to the LT-1A-1A, LT-2A-1A, LT-2A-1B1, LT-2A-1B2, LT-2A-1C1, LT- 2A-2C, LT-B-1, LT-B-2, LT-B-3, LT-B-4, LT-B-5, LT-B-6, LT-B-7, and LT-P Interests until the principal balance of each such Lower-Tier Regular Interest equals 50% of the Class Principal Balance of the Corresponding Class of Certificates immediately after such Distribution Date;

  ii.  
to the LT-Q Interest until its principal balance equals the excess, if any, of (I) the aggregate Pool Balance immediately after such Distribution Date over (II) the aggregate of the principal balances of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests (other than the LT-Q and the LT-I Interests) after taking into account distributions on such Distribution Date under priority (i) above; and

  iii.  
finally, to the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, as distributions of interest at the interest rates shown in the table above.

On each Distribution Date, after taking into account principal distributions under priorities (i) and (ii) above, Realized Losses attributable to principal and any Net Deferred Interest shall each be allocated among the Lower-Tier Regular Interests in the same manner that principal is distributed among such Lower-Tier Regular Interests.
 
On each Distribution Date, Prepayment Penalty Amounts shall be distributed to the LT-P Interest.
 
Upper-Tier REMIC
 
The following table sets forth (or describes) the Class designation, Pass-Through Rate and Original Class Principal Balance for each Class of Certificates, each of which, except for the Class R Certificates, is hereby designated a REMIC regular interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions:

The Class C Interest shall have an initial principal balance of $14,410,327.79. The Class C Interest also comprises a notional component having a notional amount that at all times will equal the aggregate of the principal balances of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests (i.e., the Pool Balance). For each Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period), the notional component shall bear interest at a rate equal to the excess of (a) the weighted average of the interest rates on the Lower-Tier Regular Interests (other than the LT-I Interest), weighted on the basis of the principal balance of each such Lower-Tier Interest, over (b) the Adjusted Lower-Tier WAC. For any Distribution Date, interest that accrues on the notional component of the Class C Interest shall be deferred to the extent of any increase in the Overcollateralized Amount on such date. Such deferred interest shall not itself bear interest. In addition, any Net Deferred Interest allocated to the Class C Certificate shall increase its principal balance. In addition to the rights set forth above, the Class C Certificates shall also evidence ownership of the LT-I Interest in the Lower-Tier REMIC.
 
(3)
The Class P Certificate shall not bear interest at a stated rate. The Class P Certificate shall have an initial Class Principal Balance of $100.00. Prepayment Penalty Amounts paid with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be distributed to the Class P Certificates.
 
(4)
The Class R Certificate represents the sole class of residual interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC and does not have a principal balance or a pass-through rate.

It is agreed and understood by the Depositor, the Seller and the Trustee that it is not intended that any Mortgage Loan be included in the Trust Fund that is a “High-Cost Home Loan” as defined in the New Jersey Home Ownership Act, effective as of November 27, 2003, or The Home Loan Protection Act of New Mexico, effective as of January 1, 2004, or that is a “High Cost Home Mortgage Loan” as defined in the Massachusetts Predatory Home Loan Practices Act, effective as of November 7, 2004, or that is an “Indiana High Cost Home Mortgage Loan” as defined in the Indiana High Cost Home Loan Act, effective as of January 1, 2005.

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor does hereby assign to the Trustee all of its rights and interest under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including all rights of the Seller under the Servicing Agreement (other than the right to terminate the Servicer for an Event of Default under Section 14.01 (ix) of the Servicing Agreement) to the extent assigned in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The Depositor hereby expressly retains and does not delegate the right to terminate the Servicer for an Event of Default pursuant to Section 14.01 (ix) of the Servicing Agreement. The Trustee hereby accepts such assignment, and shall be entitled to exercise all rights of the Depositor under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and all rights of the Seller under the Servicing Agreement as if, for such purpose, it were the Depositor or the Seller, as applicable, including the Seller’s right to enforce remedies for breaches of representations and warranties and delivery of the Mortgage Loan documents. The foregoing sale, transfer, assignment, set-over, deposit and conveyance does not and is not intended to result in creation or assumption by the Trustee of any obligation of the Depositor, the Seller or any other Person in connection with the Mortgage Loans or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto except as specifically set forth herein.
 
In connection with such transfer and assignment, (i) the Depositor directs the Trustee to appoint The Bank of New York as Custodian, and (ii) the Seller, on behalf of the Depositor, does hereby deliver on the Closing Date, unless otherwise specified in this Section 2.01 or the Custodial Agreement, to, and deposit with the Trustee, or the Custodian as its designated agent, the following documents or instruments with respect to each Mortgage Loan (a “Mortgage File”) so transferred and assigned:

53


(iii) the original or copy of each assumption, modification or substitution agreement, if any, relating to the Mortgage Loans, or, as to any assumption, modification or substitution agreement which cannot be delivered on or prior to the Closing Date because of a delay caused by the public recording office where such assumption, modification or substitution agreement has been delivered for recordation, a photocopy of such assumption, modification or substitution agreement, pending delivery of the original thereof, together with an Officer’s Certificate of the Seller certifying that the copy of such assumption, modification or substitution agreement delivered to the Trustee (or its custodian) on behalf of the Trust Fund is a true copy and that the original of such agreement has been forwarded to the public recording office;

(vii) the original or a certified copy of lender’s title insurance policy; and
 
(viii) with respect to any Cooperative Loan, the Cooperative Loan Documents.
 
In connection with the assignment of any MERS Mortgage Loan, the Seller agrees that it will take (or shall cause the Servicer to take), at the expense of the Seller (with the cooperation of the Depositor and the Trustee), such actions as are necessary to cause the MERS® System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Seller to the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans that are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer files the information required by the MERS® System to identify the series of the Certificates issued in connection with the transfer of such Mortgage Loans to the HarborView Mortgage Loan Trust 2006-9. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Trustee is not responsible for monitoring any MERS Mortgage Loans.
 
With respect to each Cooperative Loan, the Seller, on behalf of the Depositor, does hereby deliver to the Trustee (or the Custodian) the related Cooperative Loan Documents and the Seller shall take (or cause the Servicer to take), at the expense of the Seller (with the cooperation of the Depositor and the Trustee) such actions as are necessary under applicable law (including but not limited to the relevant UCC) in order to perfect the interest of the Trustee in the related Mortgaged Property.

54


Assignments of each Mortgage with respect to each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage Loan (other than a Cooperative Loan) shall be recorded; provided, however, that such assignments need not be recorded if, in the Opinion of Counsel (which must be from Independent Counsel and not at the expense of the Trust Fund or the Trustee) acceptable to the Trustee, each Rating Agency, recording in such states is not required to protect the Trust Fund’s interest in the related Mortgage Loans; provided, further, notwithstanding the delivery of any Opinion of Counsel, each assignment of Mortgage shall be submitted for recording by the Seller (or the Seller will cause the Servicer to submit each such assignment for recording), at the cost and expense of the Seller, in the manner described above, at no expense to the Trust Fund or Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of (1) reasonable direction by the Majority Certificateholders, (2) the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency relating to the Seller or the Depositor, or (3) with respect to any one Assignment of Mortgage, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage. Subject to the preceding sentence, as soon as practicable after the Closing Date (but in no event more than three months thereafter except to the extent delays are caused by the applicable recording office), the Seller shall properly record (or the Seller will cause the Servicer to properly record), at the expense of the Seller (with the cooperation of the Depositor and the Trustee, or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), in each public recording office where the related Mortgages are recorded, each assignment referred to in Section 2.01(v) above with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage Loan.
 
The Trustee (or the Custodian) agrees to execute and deliver to the Depositor (and to the Trustee if delivered by the Custodian) on or prior to the Closing Date an acknowledgment of receipt of the original Mortgage Note (with any exceptions noted), substantially in the form attached as Exhibit G-1 hereto.
 
If the original lender’s title insurance policy, or a certified copy thereof, was not delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(vii) above, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the original or a copy of a written commitment or interim binder or preliminary report of title issued by the title insurance or escrow company, with the original or a certified copy thereof to be delivered to the Trustee, promptly upon receipt thereof, but in any case within 175 days of the Closing Date. The Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, promptly upon receipt thereof, any other documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received with respect to any Mortgage Loan sold to the Depositor by the Seller, including, but not limited to, any original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of any Mortgage Loan.
 
For Mortgage Loans (if any) that have been prepaid in full after the Cut-off Date and prior to the Closing Date, in lieu of the Seller delivering the above documents, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, or to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, prior to the first Distribution Date, an Officer’s Certificate, which shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such prepayment that are required to be deposited in the Distribution Account have been so deposited. All original documents that are not delivered to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund shall be held by the Servicer in trust for the Trustee, for the benefit of the Trust Fund, the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer.

55



The Depositor herewith delivers to the Trustee an executed copy of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.
 
The Depositor shall have the right to receive any and all loan-level information regarding the characteristics and performance of the Mortgage Loans upon request, and to publish, disseminate or otherwise utilize such information in its discretion, subject to applicable laws and regulations.
 
SECTION 2.02. Acceptance by Trustee.
 
The Trustee, by execution and delivery hereof, acknowledges receipt by it or by the Custodian on its behalf of the Mortgage Files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, subject to review thereof by the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee and declares that it holds or will hold all other assets included in the definition of “Trust Fund” in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer.
 
The Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer, review each Mortgage File delivered to it and to certify and deliver to the Depositor, the Seller, any NIMS Insurer and each Rating Agency an interim certification in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-2, within 90 days after the Closing Date (or, with respect to any document delivered after the Startup Day, within 45 days of receipt and with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage, within five Business Days after the assignment thereof) that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception report annexed thereto as not being covered by such certification), (i) all documents required to be delivered to it pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement are in its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and have not been mutilated, damaged or torn and relate to such Mortgage Loan and (iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items (i), (ii) and (xv) of the Mortgage Loan Schedule accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File. It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review, the Trustee and the Custodian on its behalf are under no duty or obligation 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 have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.
 
No later than 180 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall deliver to the Depositor, any NIMS Insurer and the Seller a final certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G-3 evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.
 
If, in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making or preparing, as the case may be, the certifications referred to above, the Trustee finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or not conforming to the requirements set forth herein, at the conclusion of its review the Trustee (or the Custodian as its designated agent) shall promptly notify the Seller and the Depositor. In addition, upon the discovery by the Seller or the Depositor (or upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such breach) of a breach of any of the representations and warranties made by the Seller in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan that materially adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the related Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties to this Agreement.

56


The Depositor and the Trustee intend that the assignment and transfer herein contemplated constitute a sale of the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Notes and the related documents, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any liens and encumbrances, from the Depositor to the Trustee and that such property not be part of the Depositor’s estate or property of the Depositor in the event of any insolvency by the Depositor. In the event that such conveyance is deemed to be, or to be made as security for, a loan, the parties intend that the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Trustee a first priority perfected security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Notes and the related documents, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.
 
SECTION 2.03. Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by the Originator and the Seller.
 
(a) Upon its discovery or receipt of written notice of any materially defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of the breach by the Originator of any representation, warranty or covenant under the Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects the value of that Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Originator of such defect, missing document or breach and request that the Originator deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach within 90 days from the date that the Originator was notified of such missing document, defect or breach, and if the Originator does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall enforce the Originator’s obligation under the Purchase Agreement and cause the Originator to repurchase that Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Repurchase Price (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) on or prior to the Determination Date following the expiration of such 90 day period. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Originator to cure or to repurchase or to substitute for (or, with respect to any costs and damages incurred by the Trust Fund in connection with any violation of any anti-predatory or anti-abusive lending laws, indemnify for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against the Originator respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee or any NIMS Insurer on behalf of the Certificateholders.
 
(b) Upon discovery or receipt of written notice that a document does not comply with the requirements of Section 2.01 hereof, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of the breach by the Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or in Section 2.04 or Section 2.08 hereof in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects the value of that Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer, the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall promptly notify the Seller of such noncompliance, missing document or breach and request that the Seller deliver such missing document or cure such noncompliance or breach within 90 days from the date that the Seller was notified of such missing document, noncompliance or breach, and if the Seller does not deliver such missing document or cure such noncompliance or breach in all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall enforce the Seller’s obligation under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and cause the Seller to repurchase that Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price on or prior to the Determination Date following the expiration of such 90 day period (subject to Section 2.03(e) below); provided, however, that, in connection with any such breach that could not reasonably have been cured within such 90 day period, if the Seller shall have commenced to cure such breach within such 90 day period, the Seller shall be permitted to proceed thereafter diligently and expeditiously to cure the same within the additional period provided under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; and, provided further, that, in the case of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Seller in Section 2.04 hereof, the Seller shall be obligated to cure such breach or purchase the affected Mortgage Loans for the Purchase Price or, if the Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged Property acquired with respect thereto has been sold, then the Seller shall pay, in lieu of the Purchase Price, any excess of the Purchase Price over the Net Liquidation Proceeds received upon such sale.

57


(c) The Purchase Price or Repurchase Price (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) for a Mortgage Loan purchased or repurchased under this Section 2.03 or such other amount due shall be deposited in the Distribution Account on or prior to the next Determination Date after the Seller’s or the Originator’s obligation to repurchase such Mortgage Loan arises. The Trustee, upon receipt of written certification from the Seller or the Originator of the related deposit in the Distribution Account, shall cause the Custodian to release to the Seller or the Originator, as applicable, the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Seller or the Originator, as applicable, shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller or the Originator, as applicable, any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and the Trustee and the Custodian shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File (it being understood that the Trustee and the Custodian shall have no responsibility for determining the sufficiency of such assignment for its intended purpose). In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, the Seller may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from the Trust Fund (in which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d) below. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure or to repurchase or to substitute for (or, with respect to any costs and damages incurred by the Trust Fund in connection with any violation of any anti-predatory or anti-abusive lending laws, indemnify for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against the Seller respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.
 
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, with respect to any breach by the Seller of a representation or warranty made by the Seller herein or in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that materially and adversely affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loans or the interest therein of the Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer, if the Seller would not be in breach of such representation or warranty but for a breach by the Originator of a representation and warranty made by the Originator in the Servicing Agreement, then the Originator thereunder, in the manner and to the extent set forth therein, and not the Seller, shall be required to remedy such breach. In addition to such repurchase or substitution obligation, the Seller shall indemnify the Trust Fund and hold it harmless against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of the Seller’s representations and warranties contained in Section 2.04.

58


The Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement including, without limitation, any obligation of the Seller to purchase a Mortgage Loan on account of missing or defective documentation or on account of a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant as described in this Section 2.03(c).
 
(e) If pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.03(b), the Seller repurchases or otherwise removes from the Trust Fund a Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall take (or shall cause the Servicer to take), at the expense of the Seller (with the cooperation of the Depositor and the Trustee), such actions as are necessary either (i) cause MERS to execute and deliver an Assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Seller and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS® System in accordance with MERS’ rules and regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on the MERS® System the Seller or its designee as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.
 
(f) [Reserved].
 
(g) Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) above must be effected prior to the last Business Day that is within two years after the Closing Date. As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Seller delivering to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by Section 2.01 hereof, together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Adjustment (as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution; provided, however, that, in the case of any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall provide such documents and take such other action with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as are required pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof. The Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall acknowledge receipt for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within five Business Days thereafter, shall review such documents as specified in Section 2.02 hereof and deliver to the Servicer, with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-2, with any exceptions noted thereon. Within 180 days of the date of substitution, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall deliver to the Seller a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit G-3 hereto with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Seller. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the collections and recoveries in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan in the Due Period preceding the month of substitution and the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall give or cause to be given written notice to the Certificateholders that such substitution has taken place, shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee. Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the Trust Fund and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement and, in the case of a substitution effected by the Seller, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including, in the case of a substitution effected by the Seller all representations and warranties thereof included in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and all representations and warranties thereof set forth in Section 2.04 hereof, in each case as of the date of substitution.

59


For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Seller shall determine, and provide written certification to the Trustee and the Seller as to, the amount (each, a “Substitution Adjustment”), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate, as to each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, of the principal balance thereof as of the date of substitution, together with one month’s interest on such principal balance at the applicable Net Loan Rate. On or prior to the next Determination Date after the Seller’s obligation to repurchase the related Deleted Mortgage Loan arises, the Seller will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the related Substitution Adjustment, if any, and the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, upon receipt of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and a written certification from the Seller of its remittance of the deposit to the Distribution Account, shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File or Files and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Seller shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
 
In addition, the Seller shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution (either specifically or as a class of transactions) will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event. If such Opinion of Counsel cannot be delivered, then such substitution may only be effected at such time as the required Opinion of Counsel can be given.
 
(h) Upon discovery by the Seller, the Depositor or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within two Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Seller shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(c), substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.03(b) above, if made by the Seller. The Trustee shall reconvey to the Seller the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty.

60


(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any fact, condition or event with respect to a Mortgage Loan constitutes a breach of both (i) a representation or warranty of the Originator under the Purchase Agreement and (ii) a representation or warranty of the Seller under this Agreement, in each case, which materially adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer, the Trustee shall first request that the Originator cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan and if the Originator fails to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan within 60 days of receipt of such request from the Trustee, the Trustee shall then request that the Seller cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loans.

The Servicer will service the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms of the Servicing Agreement. The Depositor hereby directs the Trustee to execute the Reconstituted Servicing Agreement and the Custodial Agreement.
 
SECTION 3.02. REMIC-Related Covenants.
 
For as long as each REMIC created hereunder shall exist, the Trustee shall act in accordance herewith to treat each such REMIC as a REMIC, and the Trustee shall comply with any directions of the Depositor or the Servicer to assure such continuing treatment. In particular, the Trustee shall not (a) sell or knowingly permit the sale of all or any portion of the Mortgage Loans or of any investment of deposits in an Account unless such sale is as a result of a repurchase of the Mortgage Loans or is otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement or the Trustee has received a REMIC Opinion prepared at the expense of the Trust Fund; and (b) other than with respect to a substitution pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.03 or 2.04 of this Agreement or as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, as applicable, accept any contribution to any REMIC after the Startup Day without receipt of a REMIC Opinion.
 
SECTION 3.03. Release of Mortgage Files.
 
(a) Upon becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes for payment to Certificateholders on the next Distribution Date, the Servicer will, if required under the Servicing Agreement, promptly furnish to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, two copies of a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto signed by a Servicing Officer or in a mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment that are required to be deposited in the Servicing Account maintained by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01 or by the Servicer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement have been or will be so deposited) and shall request that the Trustee (or the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee) deliver to the Servicer the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Trustee (or the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee), shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. Upon any such payment in full, the Servicer is authorized, to give, as agent for the Trustee, as the mortgagee under the Mortgage that secured the Mortgage Loan, an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of mortgage without recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor of such payment, it being understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be chargeable to the Servicing Account.

(b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall execute such documents as shall be prepared and furnished to the Trustee by the Servicer (in form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) and as are necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. The Trustee (or the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee), shall, upon the request of the Servicer, and upon delivery to the Trustee (or the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee), of two copies of a request for release signed by a Servicing Officer substantially in the form of Exhibit F (or in a mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer), release the related Mortgage File held in its possession or control to the Servicer. Such trust receipt shall obligate the Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that hereinabove specified, the Mortgage File shall be released by the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), to the Servicer.

Such report must be available for general use and not contain restricted use language.

72


(iii) After preparing the Form 10-D, the Trustee shall, no later than 10 calendar days after the Distribution Date, forward electronically a copy of the Form 10-D to the Depositor and McKee Nelson LLP.

(b) As soon as possible, and in no event later than 12:00 noon New York time on the second Business Day immediately preceding any Distribution Date, the Trustee shall furnish the Certificate Insurer with a completed Notice in the form set forth as Exhibit A to the Endorsement to the Certificate Insurance Policy in the event that (a) the related Available Funds (other than any amounts in respect of Insured Amounts) are insufficient to pay the Monthly Interest Distributable Amount (net of any Net Interest Shortfalls, Basis Risk Shortfalls or Net Deferred Interest) with respect to the Holders of the Insured Certificates on such Distribution Date or (b) a Realized Loss is to be allocated to the Class 2A-1C2 Certificates on such Distribution Date; provided, however, that if such Distribution Date is the Final Distribution Date, the Notice shall also include the aggregate outstanding Class Principal Balances on each Class of the Insured Certificates, after giving effect to all payments of principal on the Insured Certificates on such Final Distribution Date, other than pursuant to the Certificate Insurance Policy. The Notice shall specify the amount of Insured Amounts for each Class of Insured Certificate and shall constitute a claim for an Insured Amount pursuant to the Certificate Insurance Policy.
 
(c) Upon receipt of an Insured Amount from the Certificate Insurer on behalf of the Holders of the Insured Certificates, the Trustee shall deposit such Insured Amount into the Policy Account.

The Trustee shall include on each Distribution Date any Insured Amounts received by it from or on behalf of the Certificate Insurer for such Distribution Date (i) in the amount distributed to the Holders of the Insured Certificates pursuant to Section 5.01 and (ii) in the amount deemed to have been distributed to the Class 2A-1C2 regular interests and deposited for their benefit into the Distribution Account.

Funds received by the Trustee as a result of any claim under the Certificate Insurance Policy shall be used solely for payment to the Holders of the Insured Certificates and may not be applied for any other purpose, including, without limitation, satisfaction of any costs, expenses or liabilities of the Trustee or the Trust Fund. Any funds remaining in the Policy Account on the first Business Day after each Distribution Date shall be remitted promptly to the Certificate Insurer. The Trustee shall keep complete and accurate records in respect of (i) all funds remitted to it by the Certificate Insurer and deposited into the Policy Account and (ii) the allocation of such funds to (A) payments of interest on and principal in respect of the Insured Certificates and (B) the amount of funds available to make distributions on the Insured Certificates.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, solely for purposes of determining the Certificate Insurer’s rights, as applicable, as subrogee for payments distributable pursuant to the Certificate Insurance Policy, Insured Amounts disbursed by the Trustee from proceeds of the Certificate Insurance Policy shall not be considered payment by the Trust Fund with respect to the Insured Certificates, nor shall such disbursement of Insured Amounts discharge the obligations of the Trust Fund with respect to the amounts thereof, and the Certificate Insurer shall become owner of such amounts to the extent covered by such Insured Amounts as the deemed assignee of such Holders. The Trustee hereby agrees on behalf of the Holders of the Insured Certificates (and each such Holder, by its acceptance of its Insured Certificate, hereby agrees) for the benefit of the Certificate Insurer that, to the extent the Certificate Insurer pays any Insured Amount or Preference Claim, either directly or indirectly (as by paying through the Trustee), to the Holders of the Insured Certificates, the Certificate Insurer will be entitled to be subrogated to any rights of such Holder to receive the amounts for which such Insured Amount or Preference Claim was paid, to the extent of such payment, and will be entitled to receive the Certificate Insurer Reimbursement Amount as set forth in Section 5.01.
 
In the event the Trustee receives a certified copy of an order of the appropriate court that any scheduled payment of principal or interest on an Insured Certificate has been voided in whole or in part as a preference payment under applicable bankruptcy law, the Trustee shall (i) promptly notify the Certificate Insurer and (ii) comply with the provisions of the Certificate Insurance Policy, to obtain payment by the Certificate Insurer of such voided scheduled payment. The Trustee shall furnish to the Certificate Insurer its records listing the payments on the affected Insured Certificates, if any, that have been made by the Trustee and subsequently recovered from the affected Holders, and the dates on which such payments were made by the Trustee.

85


 

(e) At the end of the Term of the Certificate Insurance Policy (as defined in the Certificate Insurance Policy), the Trustee shall return the Certificate Insurance Policy to the Certificate Insurer for cancellation.
 
(f) The Trustee shall promptly notify the Certificate Insurer of either of the following as to which it has actual knowledge: (A) the commencement of any proceeding by or against the Depositor commenced under the United States bankruptcy code or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, rehabilitation or similar law (an “Insolvency Proceeding”) and (B) the making of any claim in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding seeking the avoidance as a preferential transfer (a “Preference Claim”) of any distribution made with respect to the Insured Certificates as to which it has actual knowledge. Each Holder of an Insured Certificate, by its purchase of such Insured Certificates, and the Trustee each hereby agree that the Certificate Insurer (so long as no Certificate Insurer Default exists) may at any time during the continuation of any proceeding relating to a Preference Claim direct all matters relating to such Preference Claim, including, without limitation, (i) the direction of any appeal of any order relating to any Preference Claim and (ii) the posting of any surety, supersedes or performance bond pending any such appeal. In addition and without limitation of the foregoing, the Certificate Insurer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Trustee and each Holder of an Insured Certificate in the conduct of any Preference Claim, including, without limitation, all rights of any party to an adversary proceeding action with respect to any court order issued in connection with any such Preference Claim.
 
(g) With respect to this Section 4.05, the terms “receipt” and “received” shall mean actual delivery to the Certificate Insurer, if any, prior to 12:00 p.m., New York time, on a Business Day; delivery either on a day that is not a Business Day or after 12:00 p.m., New York time, shall be deemed to be “received” on the next succeeding Business Day.

(h) All references herein to the ratings assigned to the Insured Certificates and to the interests of any Certificateholders therein shall be without regard to the Certificate Insurance Policy.

(i) first, the Class Principal Balance of each Class of Senior Certificates related to the Loan Group from which the Recovery was collected, will be increased, pro rata based on Realized Losses allocated to such Class, up to the amount by which Net Realized Losses previously allocated to each such Class exceeds the amount of Recoveries for such Distribution Date previously distributed to such Class, and

(e) For federal income tax purposes, any Certificateholder that receives a principal payment from the Final Maturity Reserve Trust shall be treated as selling a portion of its Certificate to the Class C Certificateholder and as having received the amount of the principal payment from the Class C Certificateholder as the proceeds of the sale. The portion of the Certificate that is treated as having been sold shall equal the amount of the corresponding reduction in the Class Principal Balance of such Certificate.

SECTION 5.11. Yield Maintenance Trust; Yield Maintenance Trust Account. 
 
Pursuant to the Yield Maintenance Allocation Agreement, the Administrator shall establish and maintain (i) the Yield Maintenance Trust into which it shall deposit the Yield Maintenance Agreement and (ii) the Yield Maintenance Trust Account into which, on the day prior to each Distribution Date, it will deposit the Yield Maintenance Distributable Amount, if any, paid by the Yield Maintenance Provider pursuant to the Yield Maintenance Agreement.
 
On each Distribution Date, after remitting the Yield Maintenance Payment Amount to the Trustee, any amounts remaining on deposit in the Yield Maintenance Trust Account shall be distributed in accordance with Section 3(a)(ii) of the Yield Maintenance Allocation Agreement.
 
It is the intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and state and local franchise tax purposes, the Yield Maintenance Trust Account be disregarded as an entity separate from the Holder of the Class C Certificates unless and until the date when either (a) there is more than one Class C Certificateholder or (b) any Class of Certificates in addition to the Class C Certificates is recharacterized as an equity interest in the Yield Maintenance Trust Account for federal income tax purposes, in which case it is the intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and state and local franchise tax purposes, the Yield Maintenance Trust Account be treated as a partnership. The Yield Maintenance Trust Account will be an “outside reserve fund” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h). Upon the termination of the Trust Fund, or the payment in full of the Offered Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Yield Maintenance Trust Account shall be distributed to the Class C Certificateholders or their designees. The Yield Maintenance Trust Account shall not be part of the Trust Fund or of any REMIC and any payments to the Holders of the Offered Certificates to pay certain interest shortfalls will not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860(G)(a)(1).
 
The Administrator shall terminate the Yield Maintenance Agreement upon the occurrence of an event of default or termination event under the Yield Maintenance Agreement of which the Administrator has actual knowledge. In the event that the Yield Maintenance Agreement is canceled or otherwise terminated for any reason (other than the exhaustion of the interest rate protection provided thereby), the Administrator shall, at the direction of Certificateholders evidencing Voting Rights not less than 50% of the Offered Certificates, and to the extent a replacement contract is available (from a counterparty designated by the Depositor and acceptable to Certificateholders evidencing Voting Rights not less than 50% of the Offered Certificates), execute a replacement contract comparable to the Yield Maintenance Agreement providing interest rate protection which is equal to the then-existing protection provided by such Yield Maintenance Agreement as certified to the Administrator by the Depositor; provided, however, that the cost of any such replacement contract providing the same interest rate protection may be reduced to a level such that the cost of such replacement contract shall not exceed the amount of any early termination payment received from the Yield Maintenance Provider.

104


Upon the earlier of the Distribution Date in July 2014 and the termination of the Trust Fund, the Yield Maintenance Agreement shall be terminated.
 
By accepting a Class C Certificate, each Class C Certificateholder hereby agrees to direct the Administrator, and the Administrator is hereby directed, to deposit into the Yield Maintenance Trust Account the amounts described above.
 
For federal income tax purposes, the right of the Offered Certificates to receive payments from the Yield Maintenance Trust Account may have more than a de minimis value.
 
SECTION 5.12. Yield Maintenance Account; Class 2A-1C2 Yield Maintenance Account. 
 
The Trustee is hereby directed to establish and maintain with itself, a separate, segregated account titled “Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee, in trust for the registered Holders of HarborView Mortgage Loan Trust Mortgage Loan Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-9” (the “Yield Maintenance Account”) for the benefit of the Offered Certificates and a separate, segregated account titled “Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee, in trust for the registered Holders of Class 2A-1C2 Certificates of HarborView Mortgage Loan Trust Mortgage Loan Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-9” (the “Class 2A-1C2 Yield Maintenance Account”). Each of the Yield Maintenance Account and the Class 2A-1C2 Yield Maintenance Account shall be an Eligible Account, and funds on deposit therein shall be held separate and apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys, including, without limitation, other moneys of the Trustee held pursuant to this Agreement. Amounts on deposit in the Yield Maintenance Account and the Class 2A-1C2 Yield Maintenance Account shall not be invested and shall not be held in an interest-bearing account.
 
On each Distribution Date, the Administrator shall remit the Yield Maintenance Payment Amount to the Trustee for deposit into the Yield Maintenance Account for distribution by the Trustee pursuant to the priorities set forth in Section 5.01(h). On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall deposit the Yield Maintenance Payment Amount received pursuant to the Class 2A-1C2 Yield Maintenance Agreement into the Class 2A-1C2 Yield Maintenance Account for distribution pursuant to the priorities set forth in Section 5.01(i).
 
If the Seller or its affiliate is the Holder of an Offered Certificate, the Seller or its affiliate shall remit to the Trustee the portion of Yield Maintenance Distributable Amounts received by the Holder of such Certificate on any Distribution Date, and the Trustee shall remit such amounts to the Yield Maintenance Provider. If the Seller or its affiliate is the Holder of a Class 2A-1C2 Certificate, the Seller or its affiliate shall remit to the Trustee the portion of Yield Maintenance Distributable Amounts received by the Holder of such Certificate on any Distribution Date, and the Trustee shall remit such amounts to the Yield Maintenance Provider. For purposes of this Agreement, the Trustee shall have no duty to confirm that each amount received by it from the Seller or its affiliate with respect to the preceding two sentences is the correct amount.

105


 
The Administrator and the Trustee shall terminate the Yield Maintenance Agreement and the Class 2A-1C2 Yield Maintenance Agreement, respectively, upon the occurrence of an event of default or termination event under the Yield Maintenance Agreement or the Class 2A-1C2 Yield Maintenance Agreement, as applicable, of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge. In the event that the Yield Maintenance Agreement is terminated for any reason (other than the exhaustion of the interest rate protection provided thereby), the Trustee shall, at the direction of Certificateholders evidencing Voting Rights not less than 50% of the Offered Certificates, and to the extent a replacement contract is available (from a counterparty designated by the Depositor and acceptable to Certificateholders evidencing Voting Rights not less than 50% of the Offered Certificates), direct the Administrator to execute a replacement contract comparable to the such Yield Maintenance Agreement providing interest rate protection which is equal to the then-existing protection provided by such Yield Maintenance Agreement as certified to the Administrator by the Depositor. In the event that the Class 2A-1C2 Yield Maintenance Agreement is terminated for any reason (other than the exhaustion of the interest rate protection provided thereby), the Trustee shall, at the direction of Certificateholders evidencing Voting Rights not less than 50% of the Class 2A-1C2 Certificates, and to the extent a replacement contract is available (from a counterparty designated by the Depositor and acceptable to Certificateholders evidencing Voting Rights not less than 50% of the Class 2A-1C2 Certificates), execute a replacement contract comparable to such Class 2A-1C2 Yield Maintenance Agreement providing interest rate protection which is equal to the then-existing protection provided by such Class 2A-1C2 Yield Maintenance Agreement as certified to the Trustee by the Depositor. In each case, provided, however, that the cost of any such replacement contract providing the same interest rate protection may be reduced to a level such that the cost of such replacement contract shall not exceed the amount of any early termination payment received from the Yield Maintenance Provider.
 
Upon the earlier of the Distribution Date in July 2014 and the termination of the Trust Fund, the Yield Maintenance Account shall be terminated. Upon the earlier of the Distribution Date in January 2015 and upon the termination of the Trust Fund, the Class 2A-1C2 Yield Maintenance Account shall be terminated.

(b) Except as provided in paragraph (c) or (d) below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all times: (i) registration of such Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership and transfers of such Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of registration of such Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Certificate Registrar, any NIMS Insurer, the Paying Agent and the Trustee shall for all purposes deal with the Depository as representative of the Certificate Owners of such Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of Holders under this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such representative shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; (vi) the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to indirect participating firms and Persons shown on the books of such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners; and (vii) the direct participants of the Depository shall have no rights under this Agreement under or with respect to any of the Certificates held on their behalf by the Depository, and the Depository may be treated by the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar and their respective agents, employees, officers and directors as the absolute owner of the Certificates for all purposes whatsoever.
 
All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owners. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners that it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s normal procedures. The parties hereto are hereby authorized to execute one or more Letter of Representations with the Depository or take such other action as may be necessary or desirable to register a Book-Entry Certificate to the Depository.

108


(c) If (x) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Certificate Registrar in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as Depository and (y) the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, upon surrender to the Certificate Registrar of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall at the Seller’s expense execute on behalf of the Trust Fund and authenticate definitive, fully registered certificates (the “Definitive Certificates”). Neither the Depositor nor the Certificate Registrar shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates, the Trustee shall notify any NIMS Insurer of the availability of Definitive Certificates and the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Depositor shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.
 
(d) No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Private Certificate, other than a Private Certificate sold in an offshore transaction in reliance on Regulation S, shall be made unless such disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act, and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with the 1933 Act and laws. Any Private Certificates sold to an “accredited investor” under Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the 1933 Act shall be issued only in the form of one or more Definitive Certificates and the records of the Certificate Registrar and DTC or its nominee shall be adjusted to reflect the transfer of such Definitive Certificates. In the event of any transfer of any Private Certificate in the form of a Definitive Certificate, (i) the transferee shall certify (A) such transfer is made to a Qualified Institutional Buyer in reliance upon Rule 144A (as evidenced by an investment letter delivered to the Certificate Registrar, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-2) under the 1933 Act, or (B) such transfer is made to an “accredited investor” under Rule 501(c)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the 1933 Act (as evidenced by an investment letter delivered to the Certificate Registrar, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-1, and, if so required by the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor, a written Opinion of Counsel (which may be in-house counsel) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor, delivered to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor stating that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, including a description of the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from the 1933 Act or is being made pursuant to the 1933 Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor) or (ii) the Certificate Registrar shall require the transferor to execute a transferor certificate and the transferee to execute an investment letter acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar certifying to the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar the facts surrounding such transfer, which investment letter shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor. Each Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Seller and the Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

109


In the case of a Private Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate, for purposes of the preceding paragraph, the representations set forth in the investment letter in clause (i) shall be deemed to have been made to the Certificate Registrar by the transferee’s acceptance of such Private Certificate that is also a Book-Entry Certificate (or the acceptance by a Certificate Owner of the beneficial interest in such Certificate).
 
None of the Depositor, the Seller, the Certificate Registrar or the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Private Certificates under the 1933 Act or any other securities laws or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer of a Private Certificate shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Seller, the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
 
No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate in the form of a Definitive Certificate shall be made unless the Certificate Registrar shall have received either (i) a representation from the transferee of such Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor (such requirement is satisfied only by the Certificate Registrar’s receipt of a representation letter from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit I-1 or I-2, as applicable, hereto), to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code, nor a person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement nor using the assets of any such plan or arrangement to effect such transfer or (ii) if such Certificate has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, and the purchaser is an insurance company, a representation that the purchaser is an insurance company which is purchasing such Certificates with funds contained in an “insurance company general account” (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”) and that the purchase and holding of such Certificates are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or (iii) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Servicer, any NIMS Insurer, the Depositor or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Certificate Registrar, to the effect that the purchase and holding of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate in the form of a Definitive Certificate will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, any NIMS Insurer, the Servicer or the Depositor to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement or to any liability. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate in the form of a Definitive Certificate to an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code without the delivery to the Certificate Registrar of an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar as described above shall be void and of no effect.
 
In the case of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate, for purposes of clauses (i) or (ii) of the first sentence of the preceding paragraph, such representations shall be deemed to have been made to the Certificate Registrar by the transferee’s acceptance of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is also a Book-Entry Certificate (or the acceptance by a Certificate Owner of the beneficial interest in such Certificate).

110


No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate prior to the termination of the Final Maturity Reserve Trust, the Yield Maintenance Agreement and, in the case of the Class 2A-1C2 Certificates, the Class 2A-1C2 Yield Maintenance Agreement, shall be made unless the Certificate Registrar shall have received a representation letter from the transferee of such Certificate, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit I-2, to the effect that either (i) such transferee is neither a Plan nor a Person acting on behalf of any such Plan or using the assets of any such Plan to effect such transfer or (ii) the acquisition and holding of the ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate are eligible for exemptive relief under Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 84-14, PTCE 90-1, PTCE 91-38, PTCE 95-60 or PTCE 96-23. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate prior to the termination of the Final Maturity Reserve Trust, the Yield Maintenance Agreement and, in the case of the Class 2A-1C2 Certificates, the Class 2A-1C2 Yield Maintenance Agreement, to or on behalf of a Plan without the delivery to the Certificate Registrar of a representation letter as described above shall be void and of no effect. If the ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate is a Book-Entry Certificate, the transferee will be deemed to have made a representation as provided in clause (i) or (ii) of this paragraph, as applicable.
 
If any ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate, or any interest therein, is acquired or held in violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the next preceding permitted beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner of that Certificate, retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial owner. Any purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of an ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate, or interest therein, was effected in violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraph shall indemnify to the extent permitted by law and hold harmless the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by such parties as a result of such acquisition or holding.
 
To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA), the Certificate Registrar shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with the foregoing requirements.
 
To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA), none of the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor shall have any liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 6.02(d) or for the Paying Agent making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with the foregoing requirements. In addition, none of the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor shall be required to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with the transfer restrictions with respect to any ERISA-Restricted Certificate in the form of a Book-Entry Certificate, and none of the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor shall have any liability for transfers of Book-Entry Certificates or any interests therein made in violation of the restrictions on transfer described in the Prospectus Supplement and this Agreement.

111


(e) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to have irrevocably appointed the Depositor or its designee as its attorney-in-fact to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (v) below and to execute all instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such sale, and the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:
 
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee who acquires such Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate for its own account and not in the capacity as trustee, nominee or agent for another Person and shall promptly notify the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as such a Permitted Transferee.
 
(ii) No Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be registered on the Closing Date and no Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may thereafter be transferred, and the Certificate Registrar shall not register the Transfer of a Residual Certificate unless, in addition to the certificates required to be delivered under subsection (d) above, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar shall have been furnished with an affidavit (“Transfer Affidavit”) of the initial owner of such Residual Certificate or proposed transferee of a Residual Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L.
 
(iii) In connection with any proposed transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar shall as a condition to registration of the transfer, require delivery to them of a Transferor Certificate in the form of Exhibit K hereto from the proposed transferor to the effect that the transferor (a) has no knowledge the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee acquiring an Ownership Interest in such Residual Certificate for its own account and not in a capacity as trustee, nominee, or agent for another Person, and (b) has not undertaken the proposed transfer in whole or in part to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
 
(iv) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. If any purported transferee shall, in violation of the provisions of this Section, become a Holder of such Residual Certificate, then the prior Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee shall, upon discovery that the registration of Transfer of such Residual Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section, be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor shall have any liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section or for the Paying Agent making any distributions due on the Residual Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder win the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar received the documents specified in clause (iii). The Certificate Registrar shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of such Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time such distributions were made all distributions made on such Residual Certificate. Any such distributions so recovered by the Certificate Registrar shall be distributed and delivered by the Certificate Registrar to the last Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee.

112


(v) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then the Certificate Registrar shall have the right but not the obligation, without notice to the Holder of such Residual Certificate or any other Person having an Ownership Interest therein, to notify the Depositor to arrange for the sale of such Residual Certificate. The proceeds of such sale, net of commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Depositor or its affiliates in connection with such sale), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Certificate Registrar to the previous Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee, except that in the event that the Certificate Registrar determines that the Holder of such Residual Certificate may be liable for any amount due under this Section or any other provisions of this Agreement, the Certificate Registrar may withhold a corresponding amount from such remittance as security for such claim. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (v) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and they shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in such Residual Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.
 
(vi) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then the Trustee upon receipt of reasonable compensation will provide to the Internal Revenue Service, and to the persons specified in Sections 860E(e)(3) and (6) of the Code, information needed to compute the tax imposed under Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code on transfers of residual interests to disqualified organizations.
 
The foregoing provisions of this Section shall cease to apply to transfers occurring on or after the date on which there shall have been delivered to the Certificate Registrar and the Servicer, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, (i) written notification from each Rating Agency that the removal of the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Section will not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its ratings of the Certificates (determined in the case of the Insured Certificates, without giving effect to the Certificate Insurance Policy) and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such removal will not cause the REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC.
 
(f) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, so long as a Restricted Global Security or Regulation S Global Security, as applicable, representing the Certificates remains outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Depository, transfers of a Restricted Global Security or Regulation S Global Security, as applicable, representing the Certificates, in whole or in part, shall only be made in accordance with Section 6.01 and this Section 6.02(f).
 
(i) Subject to clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 6.02(f), transfers of a Restricted Global Security or Regulation S Global Security, as applicable, representing the Certificates shall be limited to transfers of such a Restricted Global Security or Regulation S Global Security, as applicable, in whole, but not in part, to nominees of the Depository or to a successor of the Depository or such successor’s nominee.

113


(ii) Restricted Global Security to Regulation S Global Security. If a holder of a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security deposited with or on behalf of the Depository wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Restricted Global Security for an interest in a Regulation S Global Security, or to transfer its interest in such Restricted Global Security to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in a Regulation S Global Security, such holder, provided such holder is not a U.S. Person, may, subject to the rules and procedures of the Depository, exchange or cause the exchange of such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security.

If a holder of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Security deposited with or on behalf of the Depository wishes at any time to transfer its interest in such Regulation S Global Security to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in a Restricted Global Security, such holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of the Depository, exchange or cause the exchange of such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security. Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar of (A) instructions from the Depository directing the Certificate Registrar to cause to be credited a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Security to be exchanged but not less than the minimum denomination applicable to such Certificateholder’s Certificates held through a Restricted Global Security, to be exchanged, such instructions to contain information regarding the participant account with the Depository to be credited with such increase, and (B) a certificate in the form of Exhibit J-2 hereto given by the holder of such beneficial interest and stating, among other things, that the Person transferring such interest in such Regulation S Global Security reasonably believes that the Person acquiring such interest in a Restricted Global Security is a qualified institutional buyer within the meaning of Rule 144A, is obtaining such beneficial interest in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A and in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any State of the United States or any other jurisdiction, then the Certificate Registrar will reduce the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Security and increase the principal amount of the Restricted Global Security by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security to be transferred and the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository, concurrently with such reduction, to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security equal to the reduction in the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Security.

114

(v) Restrictions on U.S. Transfers. Transfers of interests in the Regulation S Global Security to U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S) shall be limited to transfers made pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.02(f)(iii).
 
(g) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates of any Class, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
 
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled by the Certificate Registrar and disposed of pursuant to its standard procedures.

ARTICLE VII
 
DEFAULT
 
SECTION 7.01. Event of Default. 
 
(a) If an Event of Default described in a Servicing Agreement (other than an Event of Default under Section 14.01 (ix)) shall occur and be continuing, then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied within the applicable grace period, the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing Voting Rights aggregating not less than 51%, shall, by notice then given in writing to the Servicer, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer as servicer under this Agreement. Any such notice to the Servicer shall also be given to the Rating Agencies, the Depositor, the Certificate Insurer and the Seller. The Trustee, upon a Responsible Officer having actual knowledge of such default, shall deliver a written notice to the Servicer of the Event of Default on any Servicer Remittance Date on which the Servicer fails to make any deposit or payment required pursuant to the Servicing Agreement (including but not limited to Advances to the extent required pursuant to the Servicing Agreement). Pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, on or after the receipt by the Servicer (and by the Trustee if such notice is given by the Certificate Insurer or the Holders) of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee and the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of each Mortgage Loan and related documents or otherwise.

116


SECTION 7.02. Trustee to Act.
 
(a) From and after the date the Servicer (and the Trustee, if notice is sent by the Certificate Insurer or the Holders) receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01, the Trustee immediately shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under the Servicing Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof arising on and after its succession, including the immediate obligation to make Advances. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation as the Servicer would have been entitled to under the Servicing Agreement if no such notice of termination had been given. Notwithstanding the above, (i) if the Trustee is unwilling to act as successor Servicer or (ii) if the Trustee is legally unable so to act, the Trustee shall appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance institution, bank or other mortgage loan or home equity loan servicer having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 as the successor to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement; provided, that the appointment of any such successor Servicer shall not result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the ratings assigned to the Certificates by each Rating Agency as evidenced by a letter to such effect from such Rating Agency. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the successor shall be entitled to receive compensation out of payments on Mortgage Loans in an amount equal to the compensation which the Servicer would otherwise have received hereunder. Except with respect to the making of Advances the defaulting Servicer was required to make but did not make, the successor Servicer, including the Trustee in such capacity, shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Servicer or for any breach by such Servicer of any of its representations or warranties made by it in the Servicing Agreement or in any related document or agreement. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
 
(b) Any successor, including the Trustee, to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement shall during the term of its service as Servicer continue to service and administer the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Servicing Agreement, and maintain in force a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as Servicer under the Servicing Agreement.

117


(c) Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for any servicing fee or for any differential in the amount of the servicing fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any successor Servicer to act as successor Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein.
 
(d) The Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Trust Fund (pursuant to Section 4.03(a)(xii)), in the event that the Servicer does not reimburse the Trustee under the Servicing Agreement, for all costs associated with the transfer of servicing from the predecessor Servicer, including, without limitation, any costs or expenses associated with the termination of the predecessor Servicer, the appointment of a successor servicer, the complete transfer of all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the Trustee or any successor servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the Trustee or successor servicer to service the Mortgage Loans property and effectively.

SECTION 7.03. Waiver of Event of Default.
 
The Majority Certificateholders may, on behalf of all Certificateholders, by notice in writing to the Trustee, direct the Trustee to waive any events permitting removal of the Servicer under this Agreement, provided, however, that the Majority Certificateholders may not waive an event that results in a failure to make any required distribution on a Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate. Upon any waiver of an Event of Default, such event shall cease to exist and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other event or impair any right consequent thereto except to the extent expressly so waived. Notice of any such waiver shall be given by the Trustee to each Rating Agency and the Certificate Insurer.
 
SECTION 7.04. Notification to Certificateholders.
 
(a) Upon any termination or appointment of a successor to the Servicer pursuant to this Article VII, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register, to each Rating Agency, to any NIMS Insurer and the Certificate Insurer.
 
(b) No later than 60 days after the occurrence of any event which constitutes or which, with notice or a lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee becomes aware of the occurrence of such an event, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders, any NIMS Insurer and the Certificate Insurer notice of such occurrence unless such Event of Default shall have been waived or cured.

118


ARTICLE VIII
 
THE TRUSTEE
 
SECTION 8.01. Duties of the Trustee.
 
The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. If an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived) of which a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.
 
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee, which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee will not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents or other instruments. If any such instrument is found not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected. If the instrument is not corrected to the satisfaction of the Trustee, the Trustee shall provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders and any NIMS Insurer and will, at the expense of the Trust Fund, which expense shall be reasonable given the scope and nature of the required action, take such further action as directed by the Certificateholders or any NIMS Insurer.
 
On each Distribution Date, the Trustee, as Paying Agent, shall make monthly distributions the Certificateholders from funds in the Distribution Account, the Basis Risk Reserve Fund, the Yield Maintenance Account, the Class 2A-1C2 Yield Maintenance Account and the Final Maturity Reserve Account, as applicable, in each case as provided in Sections 5.01, 5.07, 5.09, 5.12 and 10.01 herein.
 
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
 
(i) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the curing of all such Events of Default which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such of its duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;

119


(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining or investigating the facts related thereto;
 
(iii) the Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the consent or at the direction of any NIMS Insurer or Holders of Certificates as provided herein relating to the time, method and place of conducting any remedy pursuant to this Agreement, or exercising or omitting to exercise any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Agreement;
 
(iv) the Trustee shall not be responsible for any act or omission of the Servicer (except in its capacity as successor servicer to the extent provided in Section 7.02(a)), the Depositor, the Seller or the Custodian; and
 
(v) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office obtains actual knowledge of such failure or the Trustee receives written notice at the Corporate Trust Office of such Event of Default.
 
The Trustee shall not appoint any Subcontractor without receiving the prior written consent of the Depositor to appoint any Subcontractor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Trustee appoints a Subcontractor without receiving such prior written consent, the Trustee shall be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement and may be removed by the Depositor.
 
The Trustee shall promptly notify the Depositor and the Sponsor of knowledge thereof (i) of any legal proceedings pending against the Trustee of the type described in Item 1117 (§ 229.1117) of Regulation AB and (ii) if the Trustee shall become (but only to the extent not previously disclosed) at any time an affiliate of any of the responsible parties listed on Exhibit O. On or before March 1 of each year, the Depositor shall distribute the information on Exhibit O to the Trustee.
 
The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial or other liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Servicer in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement.

120


SECTION 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
 
Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01 hereof:
 
(i) the Trustee may request and conclusively rely upon, and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, any resolution, Officers’ Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties, and the manner of obtaining consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe;

(v) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or documents, unless requested in writing to do so by any NIMS Insurer or the Majority Certificateholder; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense, liability or payment of such estimated expenses from any NIMS Insurer or the Certificateholders, as applicable, as a condition to such proceeding. If the Servicer fails to reimburse the Trustee in respect of the reasonable expense of every such examination relating to the Servicer, the Trustee shall be reimbursed by the Trust Fund;
 
(vi) the Trustee shall not be accountable, shall have no liability and makes no representation as to any acts or omissions hereunder of the Servicer until such time as the Trustee may be required to act as the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 hereof and thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the Trustee as a successor Servicer;

121


(vii) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, nominees, attorneys or a custodian, and shall not be responsible for any willful misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent, nominee, attorney or custodian appointed by the Trustee in good faith;
 
(viii) the right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such act; and

Accordingly, each of the parties agrees to provide the Trustee upon its request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be available for such party in order to enable the Trustee to comply with Applicable Law.
 
It is expressly understood and agreed that the Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights, protections, immunities, and indemnities set forth herein, with respect to the Reconstitution Agreement, the Servicing Agreement, and the Custodial Agreement, and any actions taken or omitted by the Trustee pursuant to the terms thereof, as if such rights, protections, immunities, and indemnities were specifically set forth therein.

The Trustee makes no representations or warranties as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates (other than the countersignature and authentication on the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan or related document or of MERS or the MERS System.

122


SECTION 8.04. Trustee and Custodian May Own Certificates.
 
The Trustee and the Custodian, in their respective individual capacities, or in any capacity other than as Trustee or Custodian hereunder, may become the owner or pledgee of any Certificates with the same rights they would have if they were not Trustee or Custodian, as applicable, and may otherwise deal with the parties hereto.

SECTION 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.

124


The Majority Certificateholders (or any NIMS Insurer in the event of failure of the Trustee to perform its obligations hereunder) may at any time remove the Trustee by written instrument or instruments delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee; the Depositor or the Trustee shall thereupon use its best efforts to appoint a successor Trustee acceptable to the NIMS Insurer, in accordance with this Section.

(ii) no trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and
 
(iii) the Depositor and the Trustee, acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.
 
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee.

SECTION 8.12. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Certificates.
 
(a) All rights of action and claims under this Agreement or the Certificates may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Certificates or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name or in its capacity as Trustee for the benefit of all Holders of such Certificates, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursement and advances of the Trustee (for the avoidance of doubt, in its individual capacity and as Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund), its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit or the Certificateholders in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.
 
(b) The Trustee shall afford the Seller, the Depositor, the Certificate Insurer and each Certificateholder upon reasonable notice during normal business hours at its Corporate Trust Office or other office designated by the Trustee, access to all records maintained by the Trustee in respect of its duties hereunder and access to officers of the Trustee responsible for performing such duties.

The Trustee shall be relieved of, and each Certificateholder hereby waives, any requirement of any jurisdiction in which the Trust Fund, or any part thereof, may be located that the Trustee file any inventory, accounting or appraisal of the Trust Fund with any court, agency or body at any time or in any manner whatsoever.
 
SECTION 8.16. Appointment of Custodians.
 
The Trustee may, and at the direction of the Depositor shall, appoint one or more custodians to hold all or a portion of the related Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee, by entering into a custodial agreement. The custodian may at any time be terminated and a substitute custodian appointed therefor by the Trustee.

The Administrator may at any time resign and be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Yield Maintenance Allocation Agreement by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Certificate Insurer, the Seller, GCFP, any NIMS Insurer, the Trustee and each Rating Agency. Upon receiving such notice of resignation of the Administrator, GCFP shall promptly appoint a successor Administrator that is acceptable to any NIMS Insurer by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to each of (i) the resigning Administrator, (ii) the successor Administrator and (iii) any NIMS Insurer. If no successor Administrator shall have been so appointed and having accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Administrator may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Administrator.

As long as the Certificate Insurance Policy is in effect, the Administrator will send a written notice to the Certificate Insurer of any such resignation, removal or appointment. If the Administrator is removed pursuant to this Section 8.20, it shall be reimbursed any outstanding and unpaid fees and expenses.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the Trustee resigns or is removed as Trustee hereunder, the Administrator shall have the right to resign immediately as Administrator by giving written notice to GCFP, the Depositor and the Trustee, with a copy to each Rating Agency, the Certificate Insurer and any NIMS Insurer. Any Person appointed as successor Trustee pursuant to Section 8.07 shall also be required to serve as successor Administrator under the Yield Maintenance Agreement and the Yield Maintenance Allocation Agreement.
 
SECTION 8.21. Closing Opinion of Counsel.
 
On or before the Closing Date, the Trustee shall cause to be delivered to the Depositor, the Seller, the Certificate Insurer and Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc. an Opinion of Counsel, dated the Closing Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc., and the Seller as to the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Trustee and the enforceability thereof.

ARTICLE IX
 
REMIC ADMINISTRATION
 
SECTION 9.01. REMIC Administration.
 
(a) As set forth in the Preliminary Statement to this Agreement, two REMIC elections shall be made by the Trust Fund. The Trustee shall sign and file such elections on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued. The regular interests in each REMIC created hereunder and the related residual interest shall be as designated in the Preliminary Statement. Following the Closing Date, the Trustee shall apply to the Internal Revenue Service for an employer identification number for each REMIC created hereunder by means of a Form SS-4 or other acceptable method and shall file a Form 8811 with the Internal Revenue Service.
 
(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “Startup Day” of each REMIC created hereunder within the meaning of section 860G(a)(9) of the Code. The latest possible maturity date for each interest in any REMIC created hereby shall be the Latest Possible Maturity Date.
 
(c) Except as provided in subsection (d) of this Section 9.01, the Seller shall pay any and all tax related expenses (not including taxes) of each REMIC created hereunder, including but not limited to any professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to any such REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities, but only to the extent that (i) such expenses are ordinary or routine expenses, including expenses of a routine audit but not expenses of litigation (except as described in (ii)); or (ii) such expenses or liabilities (including taxes and penalties) are attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee in fulfilling its duties hereunder (including the Trustee’s duties as tax return preparer).
 
(d) The Trustee shall prepare and file, and the Trustee shall sign all of the federal and state tax and information returns of each REMIC created hereunder (collectively, the “Tax Returns”) as the direct representative. The expenses of preparing and filing such Tax Returns shall be borne by the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall have no obligation to prepare, file or otherwise deal with partnership tax information or returns. In the event that partnership tax information or returns are required by the Internal Revenue Service, the Seller, at its own cost and expense, will prepare and file all necessary returns. The Internal Revenue Service has issued OID regulations under Sections 1271 to 1275 of the Code generally addressing the treatment of debt instruments issued with original issue discount. Under those regulations, debt issued to one Person generally is aggregated in determining if there is OID. Because certain Classes of Regular Certificates are expected to be issued to one Person (which intends to continue to hold the Regular Certificates indefinitely and, in any case, for at least 30 days), the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund and upon receipt of written direction from the Depositor, will determine the existence and amount of any OID as if those Classes of Regular Certificates were one debt instrument and based solely on information provided by the Depositor to the Trustee.
 
(e) The Trustee shall perform on behalf of each REMIC created hereunder all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of each such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority. Among its other duties, if required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other such guidance, the Trustee, shall provide (i) to the Treasury or other governmental authority such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to any disqualified organization and (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or REMIC Provisions. The Trustee, however, shall have no information or other tax reporting obligations with respect to the Final Maturity Reserve Trust. In addition, the Administrator shall have no information or other tax reporting obligations with respect to the Yield Maintenance Trust.

131


(f) The Trustee (to the extent that the affairs of the REMICs are within such Person’s control and the scope of its specific responsibilities under the Agreement) and the Holders of Certificates shall take any action or cause any REMIC created hereunder to take any action necessary to create or maintain the status of any REMIC created hereunder as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to create or maintain such status. None of the Trustee or the Holder of a Residual Certificate shall take any action, cause any REMIC created hereunder to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could result in an Adverse REMIC Event unless the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC created hereunder or the assets therein, or causing any such REMIC to take any action which is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, any Holder of the Residual Certificate will consult with the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer or their respective designees, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any such REMIC, and no such Person shall take any such action or cause any REMIC created hereunder to take any such action as to which the Trustee or any NIMS Insurer has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur. 
 
(g) Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed on any REMIC created hereunder in which it owns the residual interest by federal or state governmental authorities. To the extent that such Trust Fund taxes are not paid by the Residual Certificateholder, the Trustee shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Residual Certificate or, if no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in the Distribution Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to holders of regular interests in such REMIC, as the case may be.
 
(h) The Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC created hereunder on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.
 
(i) No additional contributions of assets shall be made to any REMIC created hereunder, except as expressly provided in this Agreement with respect to eligible substitute mortgage loans.
 
(j) The Trustee shall not enter into any arrangement by which any REMIC created hereunder will receive a fee or other compensation for services.
 
(k) The Trustee shall treat the Basis Risk Reserve Fund as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h), and not as assets of any REMIC. The Holders of the Class C Certificates are the owners of the Basis Risk Reserve Fund. The Trustee shall treat the rights of the Holders of the LIBOR Certificates to receive distributions to cover Basis Risk Shortfalls as payments under a cap contract written by the Holders of the Class C Certificates in favor of the related Holders of the LIBOR Certificates. Thus, the LIBOR Certificates shall be treated as representing not only ownership of regular interests in a REMIC, but also ownership of an interest in an interest rate cap contract. For purposes of determining the issue prices of the Certificates, the interest rate cap contracts shall be assumed to have a zero value unless and until required otherwise by an applicable taxing authority.

132


(l) The Trustee shall treat the Final Maturity Reserve Trust as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h) owned by the holders of the Class C Certificates and not assets of any REMIC. The Class C Certificateholder shall be treated as the owner of the Final Maturity Reserve Trust and any payments made from the Final Maturity Reserve Trust to beneficial owners of Certificates (other than the Class C Certificates) shall be treated for federal income tax purposes as payments made by the Class C Certificateholder in exchange for an interest in the Certificates then owned by such beneficial owners.
 
(m)  The Trustee shall treat each of the Yield Maintenance Trust, the Yield Maintenance Trust Account, the Yield Maintenance Account and the Class 2A-1C2 Yield Maintenance Account as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h), and not as assets of any REMIC. The Holders of the Class C Certificates are the owners of the Yield Maintenance Trust, the Yield Maintenance Trust Account, the Yield Maintenance Account and the Class 2A-1C2 Yield Maintenance Account. The Trustee shall treat the rights of the Holders of the LIBOR Certificates and the Holders of the Class 2A-1C2 to receive distributions to cover Basis Risk Shortfalls as payments under the cap contracts written by the Holders of the Class C Certificates in favor of the related Holders of the LIBOR Certificates. Thus, the LIBOR Certificates and the Class 2A-1C2 Certificates shall be treated as representing not only ownership of regular interests in a REMIC, but also ownership of an interest in one or two interest rate cap contracts, as applicable. For purposes of determining the issue prices of the Certificates, the interest rate cap contracts shall be assumed to have a zero value unless and until required otherwise by an applicable taxing authority.
 
(n) For federal income tax purposes, upon any sale of the property held by the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 10.01(a), any NIM Redemption Amount and any Premium Proceeds paid by the Servicer shall not be treated as a portion of the purchase price paid for such property but shall instead be treated as an amount paid by the Servicer to the Holder of the Class C Certificates pursuant to a cash settled call option with respect to the property held by the Trust Fund.
 
SECTION 9.02. Prohibited Transactions and Activities.
 
None of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee shall sell, dispose of, or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans, except in a disposition pursuant to (i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Trust Fund, (iii) the termination of the REMICs created hereunder pursuant to Article X of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant to Article II hereof or (v) a repurchase of Mortgage Loans as contemplated hereunder, nor acquire any assets for any REMIC created hereunder, nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Distribution Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to any REMIC created hereunder after the Closing Date, unless the Depositor, the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party causing such sale, disposition, or substitution) that such disposition, acquisition, substitution, or acceptance will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.

TERMINATION
 
SECTION 10.01. Termination.
 
(a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Seller, the Depositor and the Trustee created hereby (other than the obligation of the Trustee, as Paying Agent, to make certain payments to Certificateholders after the final Distribution Date and the obligation of the Servicer to send certain notices as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which the Class Principal Balance of each Class of Certificates has been reduced to zero an no Certificate Insurer Reimbursement Amounts are owed to the Certificate Insurer, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan, (iii) the optional purchase of the Mortgage Loans by the Terminator as described in the following paragraph and (iv) the Latest Possible Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date hereof.
 
Following the date on which the aggregate of the Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans (after giving effect to scheduled payments of principal due during the related Due Period, to the extent received or advanced, and unscheduled collections of principal received during the related Prepayment Period) on such date is equal to or less than 10% of the Cut-off Date Collateral Balance (the “Call Option Date”), the Servicer (in such context, the “Terminator”), with the prior written consent of the NIMS Insurer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) or the NIMS Insurer may, at its option, terminate this Agreement by purchasing, on the next succeeding Distribution Date, all of the outstanding Mortgage Loans and REO Properties at a price equal to (A) the greater of (i) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans (after giving effect to scheduled payments of principal due during the related Due Period, to the extent received or advanced, and unscheduled collections of principal received during the related Prepayment Period) and the appraised value of the REO Properties and (ii) the fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (as determined and as agreed upon by (w) the Terminator, (x) the NIMS Insurer, (y) the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest of the Class C Certificates and (z) if the Holders of the LIBOR Certificates will not receive all amounts due and payable as a result of the exercise of the option by the Terminator, the Trustee, in their good faith business judgment as of the close of business on the third Business Day next preceding the date upon which notice of any such termination is furnished to the related Certificateholders pursuant to Section 10.01(b)), plus, (B) in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the weighted average of the Mortgage Rates through the end of the Due Period preceding the final Distribution Date, plus any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances and any unpaid Servicing Fees allocable to such Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and all amounts, if any, then due and owing to the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer under this Agreement, plus any Basis Risk Shortfalls then remaining unpaid or which is due to the exercise of such option (the “Termination Price”); provided, however, such option may only be exercised if the Termination Price is sufficient to result in the payment of all interest accrued on, as well as amounts necessary to retire the Class Principal Balance of, each Class of Certificates issued pursuant to this Agreement; and, provided, further, that if there are any NIM Securities outstanding, the Servicer may only exercise its option after receiving the prior written consent of the holders of such NIM Securities and, if such consent is given, the Termination Price shall also include an amount equal to the sum of (1) any accrued interest on the NIM Securities, (2) the unpaid principal balance of any such NIM Securities and (3) any other reimbursable expenses owed by the issuer of the NIM Securities (the “NIM Redemption Amount”). If the fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties shall be required to be made and agreed upon by the Servicer, if it is Terminator, and the Holders of a majority of Percentage Interest of the Class C Certificates as provided in (ii) above in their good faith business judgment, and such determination shall take into consideration an appraisal of the value of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties conducted by an independent appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Servicer, if it is the Terminator, the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest of the Class C Certificates and the Terminator in their reasonable discretion, such appraisal to be obtained by the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest of the Class C Certificates at their expense, and (A) such appraisal shall be obtained at no expense to the Trustee and (B) the Trustee may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such fair market value determination. No such purchase by the Terminator will be permitted without the consent of the NIMS Insurer and the consent of the Certificate Insurer if a draw on the Policy will be made or if any amounts due to the Certificate Insurer would remain unreimbursed on the Final Distribution Date.

134


If the Terminator does not exercise its option as described above, then the NIMS Insurer shall have the right to exercise such option and (i) the NIMS Insurer shall remit the Termination Price in immediately available funds to the Servicer at least three Business Days prior to the applicable Distribution Date and, upon receipt of such funds from the NIMS Insurer, the Servicer shall promptly deposit such funds in the Distribution Account and (ii) upon the termination of the Trust Fund, the Trustee will transfer the property of the Trust Fund to the NIMS Insurer. The NIMS Insurer shall be obligated to reimburse the Servicer for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with its termination of the Trust Fund by the NIMS Insurer and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Servicer for all losses, liabilities or expenses resulting from any claims directly resulting from or relating to the termination of the Trust Fund by the NIMS Insurer, except to the extent such losses, liabilities or expenses arise out of or result from the Servicer’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. No such purchase by the Servicer or the NIMS Insurer will be permitted without the consent of the Certificate Insurer if a draw on the Certificate Insurance Policy will be made or if any amounts due to the Certificate Insurer would remain unreimbursed on the final Distribution Date.
 
In connection with any such purchase pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Servicer shall deposit in the Distribution Account all amounts then on deposit in the Servicing Account, which deposit shall be deemed to have occurred immediately preceding such purchase.

135


No such purchase by the Servicer will be permitted without the consent of the Certificate Insurer if a draw on the Certificate Insurance Policy will be made or if any amounts due to the Certificate Insurer would remain unreimbursed on the final Distribution Date.
 
(b) Notice of any termination pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 10.01(a), specifying the Distribution Date (which shall be a date that would otherwise be a Distribution Date) upon which the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Certificate Registrar for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee upon the Trustee receiving notice of such date from the Servicer by letter to the Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 10th day and not later than the 19th day of the month immediately preceding the month of such final distribution specifying (1) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution of the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office or agency of the Certificate Registrar therein designated, (2) the amount of any such final distribution and (3) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of the Certificate Registrar therein specified. The Trustee shall give such notice to the Certificate Insurer and the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to Holders of the Certificates. Upon any such termination, the duties of the Certificate Registrar with respect to the Certificates shall terminate and the Trustee shall terminate the Distribution Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates, subject to the Trustee’s obligation hereunder to hold all amounts payable to Certificateholders in trust without interest pending such payment.
 
(c) Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee, as Paying Agent, shall cause to be distributed to the Holders of the Certificates on the Distribution Date for such final distribution, in proportion to the Percentage Interests of their respective Class and to the extent that funds are available for such purpose, an amount equal to the amount required to be distributed to such Holders in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.01 hereof for such Distribution Date; provided, however, that with respect to amounts that would otherwise be distributed to the Class R Certificates (i) with respect to the Group 1 Mortgage Loans on the final Distribution Date, such amounts, if any, shall be distributed to the Class 2A-1A, Class 2A-1B1, Class 2A-1B2, Class 2A-1C1 and Class 2A-1C2 Certificates, pro rata up to the amount by which the aggregate Class Principal Balance of the classes of Senior Certificates related to Loan Group 2 on such date is greater than the Loan Group Balance of the related Group 2 Mortgage Loans for such Distribution Date and (ii) with respect to the Group 2 Mortgage Loans on the final Distribution Date, such amounts, if any, shall be distributed to the Class 1A-1A Certificates up to the amount by which the aggregate Class Principal Balance of the classes of Senior Certificates related to Loan Group 1 on such date is greater than the Loan Group Balance of the related Group 1 Mortgage Loans for such Distribution Date.
 
(d) In the event that all Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates for final payment and cancellation on or before such final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall promptly following such date cause all funds in the Distribution Account not distributed in final distribution to Certificateholders to be withdrawn therefrom and credited to the remaining Certificateholders by depositing such funds in a separate account for the benefit of such Certificateholders, and within six months, the Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within nine months after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Servicer shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets which remain subject hereto, and the Trustee upon transfer of such funds shall be discharged of any responsibility for such funds, and the Certificateholders shall look to the Servicer for payment.

136


SECTION 10.02. Additional Termination Requirements.
 
(a) In the event the purchase option provided in Section 10.01 is exercised, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements:
 
(i) The Trustee shall sell any remaining assets of the Trust Fund for cash and, within 90 days of such sale, shall distribute to (or credit to the account of) the Certificateholders the proceeds of such sale together with any cash on hand (less amounts retained to meet claims) in complete liquidation of the Trust Fund, and each REMIC created hereunder; and
 
(ii) The Trustee shall attach a statement to the final federal income tax return for each REMIC created hereunder stating that pursuant to Treasury Regulation §1.860F-1, the first day of the 90 day liquidation period for such REMIC was the date on which the Trustee sold the assets of the Trust Fund and shall satisfy all requirements of a qualified liquidation under Section 860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer obtained at the expense of the Seller.
 
(b) By their acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby agree to appoint the Trustee as their attorney in fact to undertake the foregoing steps.
 
SECTION 10.03. NIMS Insurer Optional Repurchase Right of Distressed Mortgage Loans.
 
The NIMS Insurer, if any, may repurchase any Distressed Mortgage Loan for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, plus accrued interest thereon to the date of repurchase plus any unreimbursed Advances, Servicing Advances or Servicing Fees allocable to such Distressed Mortgage Loan. Any such repurchase shall be accomplished by the NIMS Insurer’s remittance of the purchase price for the Distressed Mortgage Loan to the Trustee for deposit into the Distribution Account. The NIMS Insurer shall not use any procedure in selecting Distressed Mortgage Loans to be repurchased which would be materially adverse to Certificateholders.

DISPOSITION OF TRUST FUND ASSETS
 
SECTION 11.01. Disposition of Trust Fund Assets.
 
Neither the Trust Fund, nor this Agreement, may be terminated or voided, or any disposition of the assets of the Trust Fund effected, other than in accordance with the terms hereof, except to the extent that Holders representing no less than the entire beneficial ownership interest of the Certificates have consented in writing to such action.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
 
SECTION 12.01. Amendment.
 
This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Seller, the Depositor and the Trustee (with the consent of any NIMS Insurer) without the consent of the Certificateholders and, with respect to any amendment that adversely affects the interest of any of the Certificate Insurer or the Holders of the Insured Certificates, with the prior written consent of the Certificate Insurer, (i) to cure any ambiguity, (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein, (iii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement, which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, or (iv) to conform the terms hereof to the description thereof provided in the Prospectus; provided, however, that any such action listed in clause (i) through (iii) above shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder; provided, further, that any such action listed in (i) through (iii) above shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, if evidenced by (i) written notice to the Depositor, the Seller, any NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer and the Trustee from the Rating Agency that such action will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding Class of Certificates with respect to which it is a Rating Agency (without regard to the Certificate Insurance Policy) or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (without taking into account the benefits under the Certificate Insurance Policy), is permitted by the Agreement and all the conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, delivered to the Trustee, any NIMS Insurer and the Certificate Insurer.
 
In addition, this Agreement may be amended from time to time by Seller, the Depositor and the Trustee with the consent of any NIMS Insurer, the Majority Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer (if the proposed amendment adversely affects in any respect the rights and interest of the Certificate Insurer) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; and subject, in the case of any amendment or modification to Section 5.01(a) hereof, to the consent of the Bank of New York, as Custodian; provided, however, that no such amendment or waiver shall (x) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments on the Certificates that are required to be made on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (y) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner other than as described in clause (x) above, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing at least a 662/3% Percentage Interest in such Class, or (z) reduce the percentage of Voting Rights required by clause (y) above without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding. Upon approval of an amendment, a copy of such amendment shall be sent to the Rating Agency.

138


Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each of the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer shall not consent to any amendment to (1) this Agreement unless they shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel, delivered by and at the expense of the Person seeking such Amendment (unless such Person is the Trustee, in which case the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such expenses by the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 8.05 hereof), to the effect that such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any REMIC created hereunder pursuant to the REMIC Provisions or cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding and that the amendment is being made in accordance with the terms hereof, such amendment is permitted by this Agreement and all conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with and (2) the Reconstitution Agreement unless it shall have first received the consent of the Certificate Insurer.
 
Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee shall furnish, at the expense of the Person that requested the amendment if such Person is the Seller (but in no event at the expense of the Trustee), otherwise at the expense of the Trust Fund, a copy of such amendment and the Opinion of Counsel referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph to the Servicer, the Certificate Insurer, the NIMS Insurer and each Rating Agency.
 
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 12.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment; instead it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
 
The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any amendment pursuant to this 12.01 Section that affects its rights, duties and immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.
 
SECTION 12.02. Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.
 
To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the Mortgaged Properties are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Trustee at the expense of the Trust Fund, but only upon direction of Certificateholders accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer.
 
For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
 
SECTION 12.03. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.
 
The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not (i) operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust Fund, (ii) entitle such Certificateholder’s legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust Fund or (iii) otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.

139


Except as expressly provided for herein, no Certificateholder shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth or contained in the terms of the Certificates be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.
 
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights shall, with the prior written consent of any NIMS Insurer, have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for 15 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given the Trustee by such Certificateholder or any NIMS Insurer. It is understood and intended, and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder, any NIMS Insurer and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such Certificates or the rights of any NIMS Insurer, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder or any NIMS Insurer, which priority or preference is not otherwise provided for herein, or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 12.03, each and every Certificateholder, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.
 
By accepting its Insured Certificate, each Holder of an Insured Certificate agrees that, unless a Certificate Insurer Default exists and is continuing, the Certificate Insurer shall have the right to exercise all rights of the Holders of the Insured Certificates under this Agreement (other than the right to receive distributions on the Insured Certificates) without any further consent of the Holders of the Insured Certificates and the Holders of the Insured Certificates shall exercise any such rights only upon the written consent of the Certificate Insurer; provided, however, each Holder of an Insured Certificate and the Certificate Insurer will have the right to receive statements and reports hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Certificate Insurer shall have no power without the consent of the Holder of each Insured Certificate affected thereby to: (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, distributions of principal or interest required to be made hereunder or reduce the Percentage Interest of the Holders of the Insured Certificates, the applicable Pass-Through Rate or the Termination Price with respect to any of the Insured Certificates; (ii) reduce the percentage of Percentage Interests specified in Section 12.01 which are required to amend this Agreement; (iii) create or permit the creation of any lien against any part of the Trust Fund; (iv) modify any provision in any way which would permit an earlier retirement of the Insured Certificates; or (v) amend this sentence.

140


SECTION 12.04. Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

FORM OF REVERSE CERTIFICATE

HarborView Mortgage Loan Trust

Mortgage Loan Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-9

Reverse Certificate

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as HarborView Mortgage Loan Trust Mortgage Loan Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-9 (herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund created by the Agreement.

The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholder for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 19th day of each month, or if the 19th day is not a Business Day, then on the next succeeding Business Day (the “Distribution Date”), commencing on the Distribution Date in October 2006, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

Distributions on this Certificate shall be made, (i) in the case of a Physical Certificate, by check or money order mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the Certificate Register or, upon the request of a Certificateholder, by wire transfer as set forth in the Agreement and (ii) in the case of a Book-Entry Certificate, to the Depository, which shall credit the amounts of such distributions to the accounts of its Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office or agency of the Certificate Registrar specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time, by the Depositor, the Seller, the Trustee and Holders of the requisite percentage of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by such amendment, as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

D-1


As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register of the Certificate Registrar upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office or agency maintained by the Certificate Registrar accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Subject to the terms of the Agreement, each Class of Book-Entry Certificates will be registered as being held by the Depository or its nominee and beneficial interests will be held by Certificate Owners through the book-entry facilities of the Depository or its nominee in minimum denominations of $25,000 and integral dollar multiples of $1 in excess thereof, provided, that, such certificates must be purchased in minimum total investments of at least $100,000.

Each of the Class C, Class P and Class R Certificates shall be issued as a single certificate and will be maintained in physical form.

The Depositor, the Seller, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the foregoing may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Seller, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

On any Distribution Date following the date on which the aggregate of the Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans on such date is equal to or less than 10% of the Cut-Off Date Aggregate Principal Balance, the Servicer, with the prior written consent of the NIMS Insurer or at the direction of the NIMS Insurer may, at its option, terminate the Agreement by purchasing all of the outstanding Mortgage Loans and REO Properties at the Termination Price as provided in the Agreement. In the event that the Servicer does not exercise its right of optional termination, the obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will terminate upon the earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which the Class Certificate Principal Balance of each Class of Certificates has been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan and (iii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date.

To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed inconsistent with that meaning.

The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:

1.

The undersigned is an officer of ______________________, the proposed Transferee of a 100% Ownership Interest in the Class R Certificate (the “Certificate”) issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (the “Agreement”) dated as of September 1, 2006, relating to the above-referenced Certificates, among Greenwich Capital Acceptance, Inc., as Depositor, Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc., as Seller and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee. Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement. The Transferee has authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit on behalf of the Transferee.

2.

The Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the date of the Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its Ownership Interest for its own account and not in a capacity as trustee, nominee or agent for another party.

3.

The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax will be imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not Permitted Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if such Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and (iii) the Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that such subsequent Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of Transfer, such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false. The Transferee has provided financial statements or other financial information requested by the Transferor in connection with the transfer of the Certificate to permit the Transferor to assess the financial capability of the Transferee to pay such taxes.

4.

The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax may be imposed on a “pass-through entity” holding the Certificate if, at any time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity, a Disqualified Organization is the record holder of an interest in such entity. The Transferee understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with respect to which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an affidavit that such record holder is not a Disqualified Organization and the pass-through entity does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this purpose, a “pass-through entity” includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations, persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another Person.)

L-1


5.

The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 6.02(e) of the Agreement and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an Ownership Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the restrictions on subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the Transfer and mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of Section 6.02(e) of the Agreement and the restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands and agrees that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall render the Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.

6.

The Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any Person to whom the Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the Certificate, and the Transferee will not Transfer its Ownership Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be Transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is not a Permitted Transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit K to the Agreement (a “Transferor Certificate”).

7.

The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the Certificate.

8.

The Transferee’s taxpayer identification number is __________.

9.

The Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a “noneconomic residual interest” within the meaning of the REMIC provisions and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

The rights, duties and liabilities of the Administrator in respect of this Agreement shall be as follows:

(i) The Administrator shall have the full power and authority to do all things not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement that may be deemed advisable in order to enforce the provisions hereof. The Administrator shall not be answerable or accountable except for its own bad faith, willful misconduct or negligence. The Administrator shall not be required to take any action to exercise or enforce any of its rights or powers hereunder which, in the opinion of the Administrator, shall be likely to involve expense or liability to the Administrator, unless the Administrator shall have received an agreement satisfactory to it in its sole discretion to indemnify it against such liability and expense.

(ii) The Administrator shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of any party hereto or the NIMS Insurer, if any, or otherwise as provided herein, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Administrator or exercising any right or power conferred upon the Administrator under this Agreement.

The Administrator shall segregate and hold all funds received from the Yield Maintenance Provider under the Yield Maintenance Agreement (including any termination payments) separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain in the name of the Administrator one or more segregated accounts (the “Yield Maintenance Trust Account”). The Yield Maintenance Trust Account shall be an Eligible Account, and funds on deposit therein shall be held separate and apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys of the Administrator. Amounts on deposit in the Yield Maintenance Trust Account shall not be invested and shall not be held in an interest-bearing account.

5. Replacement Yield Maintenance Agreement.

The Administrator shall, at the direction of the NIMS Insurer, if any, or, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, if any, at the direction of GCFP (as majority holder of the Class C Certificates) or its designee, enforce all of its rights and exercise any remedies under the Yield Maintenance Agreement. In the event the Yield Maintenance Agreement is terminated as a result of the designation by either party thereto of an Early Termination Date (as defined therein), GCFP (as majority holder of the Class C Certificates) or its designee, shall find a replacement counterparty to enter into a replacement Yield Maintenance Agreement.

Any termination payment under the Yield Maintenance Agreement received by the Administrator from the Yield Maintenance Provider shall be deposited into a separate, non-interest bearing account, established by the Administrator and shall be used to make any upfront payment required under a replacement Yield Maintenance Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in the event that a replacement Yield Maintenance Agreement cannot be obtained within 30 days after receipt by the Administrator of a termination payment paid by the terminated Yield Maintenance Provider, the Administrator shall deposit such termination payment into a separate, non-interest bearing account, established by the Administrator and the Administrator shall, on each Distribution Date, withdraw from such account, an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Agreement Payment, if any, that would have been paid to the Trust by the original Yield Maintenance Provider (computed in accordance with Exhibit A) and distribute such amount in accordance with Section 3(a) of this Agreement. On the Distribution Date immediately after the termination date of the original Yield Maintenance Agreement, the Administrator shall withdraw any funds remaining in such account and distribute such amount in accordance with Section 3(a)(ii) of this Agreement.

Ref No. 38408


Page 12 of 20

 

(B) “Qualifying Ratings” means, with respect to the debt of any assignee or guarantor under Paragraph 4(9)(ii) below,

(x) a short-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating of “P-1” (not on watch for downgrade), and a long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt of “A1” (not on watch for downgrade) (or, if it has no short-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating, a long term rating of “Aa3” (not on watch for downgrade) by Moody’s, and

(y) a short-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating of “A-1” by S&P or a long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating of “A+” by S&P.

(C) A “Collateralization Event” shall occur with respect to BNY (or any applicable credit support provider) if:

(x) its short-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating is reduced to “P-1” (and is on watch for downgrade) or below, and its long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt is reduced to “A1” (and is on watch for downgrade) or below (or, if it has no short-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating, its long term rating is reduced to “Aa3” (and is on watch for downgrade) or below) by Moody’s, or

The Certificate Insurer shall pay any Preference Amount when due to be paid pursuant to the Order referred to below, but in any event no earlier than the third Business Day following receipt by the Certificate Insurer of (i) a certified copy of a final, non-appealable order of a court or other body exercising jurisdiction in such insolvency proceeding to the effect that the Trustee or Holder, as applicable, is required to return such Preference Amount paid during the term of this Policy because such payments were avoided as a preferential transfer or otherwise rescinded or required to be restored by the Trustee or Holder (the “Order”), (ii) a notice by or on behalf of the Trustee or Holder that the Order has been entered and is not subject to any stay, (iii) an assignment, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Insurer, duly executed and delivered by the Trustee or Holder, as applicable, irrevocably assigning to the Certificate Insurer all rights and claims of the Trustee or Holder relating to or arising under the Agreement against the estate of the Trust or otherwise with respect to such Preference Amount and (iv) a Notice (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A) appropriately completed and executed by the Trustee; provided, that if such documents are received after 12:00 noon, New York City time, on such Business Day, they will be deemed to be received on the following Business Day; provided, further, that the Certificate Insurer shall not be obligated to make any payment in respect of any Preference Amount representing a payment of principal on the Insured Certificates prior to the time the Certificate Insurer would have been required to make a payment in respect of such principal pursuant to the first paragraph of the Policy. Such payment shall be disbursed to the receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy named in the Order, and not to the Holder directly, unless the Holder has made a payment of the Preference Amount to the court or such receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy named in the Order, in which case the Certificate Insurer will pay the Holder, subject to the delivery of (a) the items referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above to the Certificate Insurer and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Certificate Insurer that payment has been made to such court or receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy named in the Order.

The Certificate Insurer shall be subrogated to the rights of each Holder to the extent of any payment by the Certificate Insurer under the Policy.

The Certificate Insurer hereby agrees that if it shall be subrogated to the rights of Holders by virtue of any payment under this Policy, no recovery of such payment will occur unless the full amount of the Holders’ allocable distributions for such Distribution Date can be made. In so doing, the Certificate Insurer does not waive its rights to seek full payment of all Reimbursement Amounts owed to it hereunder or under the Agreement.

The Policy does not cover Basis Risk Shortfalls, Deferred Interest, Net Deferred Interest or Net Interest Shortfalls allocated to the Insured Certificates, nor does the Policy guarantee to the Holders of the Insured Certificates any particular rate of principal payment. In addition, the Policy does not cover shortfalls, if any, attributable to the liability of the Trust, any REMIC or the Trustee for withholding taxes, if any, (including interest and penalties in respect of any liability for withholding taxes) nor any risk other than Nonpayment, including the failure of the Trustee or Paying Agent to make any payment required under the Agreement to the Holders of the Insured Certificates. The Policy will not cover any reduction in the amount of current interest payable to the holders of the Insured Certificates on any Distribution Date due to the pass-through rate for the Insured Certificates exceeding the adjusted cap rate for the Insured Certificates on such Distribution Date.

The terms and provisions of the Agreement constitute the instrument of assignment referred to in the second paragraph of the face of this Policy.

A premium will be payable on this Policy on each Distribution Date as provided in Section 5.01 of the Agreement, beginning with the First Distribution Date, in an amount equal to the Premium.

IN THE EVENT THAT AMBAC ASSURANCE CORPORATION WERE TO BECOME INSOLVENT, ANY CLAIMS ARISING UNDER THE POLICY WOULD BE EXCLUDED FROM COVERAGE BY THE CALIFORNIA INSURANCE GUARANTY ASSOCIATION.

Nothing herein contained shall be held to vary, alter, waive or extend any of the terms, conditions, provisions, agreements or limitations of the above mentioned Policy other than as above stated.

To the extent the provisions of this endorsement conflict with the provisions in the above-mentioned Policy, the provisions of this endorsement shall govern.

The Policy and the obligations of the Certificate Insurer thereunder will terminate without any action on the part of the Certificate Insurer or any other person on the date that is one year and one day following the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which all amounts required to be paid on the Insured Certificates have been paid in full and (ii) the Final Distribution Date. Upon termination of the Policy, the Trustee shall deliver the original of the Policy to the Certificate Insurer.

No person other than the Trustee shall be entitled to present the Notice.

No waiver of any rights or powers of the Certificate Insurer, the Holders or the Trustee or consent by any of them shall be valid unless signed by an authorized officer or agent thereof.

This Policy is issued under and pursuant to, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

The Certificate Insurer’s obligations under the Policy will be discharged to the extent that funds are received by the Trustee for payment to the holders of the Insured Certificates whether or not those funds are properly paid by the Trustee. Payments of Insured Amounts will be made only at the time set forth in the Policy, and no accelerated payments of Insured Amounts will be made regardless of any acceleration of the Insured Certificates, unless the acceleration is at the sole option of the Certificate Insurer.

8. It shall be a condition to the issuance of the Policy that Ambac shall have received oral confirmation from the rating agencies that the Guaranteed Certificates would have been rated “AAA” by Standard and Poor’s Ratings Service, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies (“S&P”) and “Aaa” by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), without the issuance of the Policy.

9. The Company is obligated to pay all rating agency fees of S&P and Moody’s.

10. Ambac shall be entitled to receive one complete set of closing documents.

11. It shall be a condition to the issuance of the Policy that the description of Ambac and the Policy set forth under the captions “The Certificate Insurer” and “Description of the Certificates - The Certificate Insurance Policy” in the Prospectus Supplement be satisfactory to Ambac; provided, however, that the execution by Ambac of the Indemnification Agreement shall mean such descriptions set forth under the captions “The Certificate Insurer” and “Description of the Certificates - The Certificate Insurance Policy” as they appear in the Prospectus Supplement are satisfactory to Ambac.

12. In the event that the Policy has not been issued by Ambac on or prior to October 4, 2006, as a result of the failure to occur of any condition to the issuance of the Policy, Ambac shall not be obligated to issue such Policy.
